[0037] Further integration Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support frame body 11 includes a first support 111, a second support 112, a first crossbar 113, and a second crossbar 114. The first support 111 and the second support 112 are symmetrically arranged. The slide rail assembly 12 is H-shaped and is respectively installed on the first support 111 and the second support 112. The first crossbar 113 and the second crossbar 114 are rotatably connected between the first support 111 and the second support 112.

[0038] The structure of the first bracket 111 is similar to that of the second bracket 112. In this embodiment, the first bracket 111 is used as an example for description. Specifically, the first bracket 111 includes a bottom mounting plate 1111, a side mounting plate 1112, and a foot plate 1113. The side mounting plate 1112 is bent from one side of the bottom mounting plate 1111. The slide rail assembly 12 is mounted on the bottom mounting plate 1111. The first crossbar 113 and the second crossbar 114 are rotatably connected to the side mounting plate 1112. The foot plate 1113 is fixed to the side mounting plate 1112.

[0039] Along the fore-and-aft direction of the seat, a first crossbar 113 and a second crossbar 114 are spaced apart, with the first crossbar 113 located in front of the second crossbar 114. A first connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the first crossbar 113, and a second connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the second crossbar 114. Furthermore, the first connecting rod 2 and the first crossbar 113, as well as the second connecting rod 5 and the second crossbar 114, can all be fixed by welding. Alternatively, the first connecting rod 2 and the first crossbar 113, as well as the second connecting rod 5 and the second crossbar 114, can also be fixed by screwing, riveting, or other methods.

[0040] The first crossbar 113 includes a bar body 1131 and a rotating plate 1132. One end of the rotating plate 1132 is fixedly connected to the bar body 1131, and the other end of the rotating plate 1132 is rotatably connected to the side mounting plate 1112. Specifically, the rotating plate 1132 and the side mounting plate 1112 are connected by riveting. When the seat is folded down, the rotating plate 1132 protrudes upward, and the bar body 1131 is located above the slide rail assembly 12.

[0041] In some other embodiments, the first crossbar 113 is fixedly connected to the side mounting plate 1112, and the first connecting rod 2 is rotatably connected to the first crossbar 113. The second crossbar 114 is fixedly connected to the side mounting plate 1112, and the second connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the second crossbar 114.

[0042] Further integration Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the slide rail assembly 12 includes a first slide rail 121, a second slide rail 122, and a slide block 123. The first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122 are symmetrically arranged. The first slide rail 121 is fixed to a first bracket 111, the second slide rail 122 is fixed to a second bracket 112, and the slide block 123 is slidably engaged with the first slide rail 121 and the second slide rail 122. The seat body 6 is fixed to the slide block 123. Indeed, the movement of the slide block 123 can be controlled by a motor, thereby improving the automation level of the seat and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] The angle adjuster assembly 3 includes an upper bracket 31, a lower bracket 32, a drive component 33, a first gear 34, and a second gear 35. One end of the upper bracket 31 is rotatably connected to the lower bracket 32, and the other end of the upper bracket 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the first connecting rod 2 away from the seat support frame 1. The upper bracket 31 can drive the first connecting rod 2 to rotate relative to the lower bracket 32. The lower bracket 32 ​​is fixed to the base plate 4.

[0044] The drive unit 33 is connected to the upper bracket 31, and the drive unit 33 can drive the upper bracket 31 to rotate relative to the lower bracket 32. Specifically, the first gear 34 is located on the upper bracket 31, and the drive unit 33 can drive the first gear 34 to rotate. The second gear 35 is located on the lower bracket 32 ​​and meshes with the first gear 34. This arrangement can improve the accuracy and smoothness of seat folding and extension.

[0045] The lower support 32 includes a support body 321 and a rotating shaft 322. The support body 321 is fixed to the base plate 4, and the rotating shaft 322 is located at the end of the support body 321 opposite to the base plate 4. The rotating shaft 322 passes through the second gear 35 and the upper support 31. The first gear 34 and the drive component 33 are located inside the upper support 31, and the drive component 33 is a motor. By incorporating the angle adjuster assembly 3, the seat can increase the automation of folding and extending, thereby improving the convenience of the seat and enhancing the user experience.

[0046] In some other embodiments, the end of the first link 2 away from the seat support frame 1 is hinged to the base plate 4, and the drive component 33 is fixed to the base plate 4 and connected to the first link 2. The drive component 33 is a cylinder or a hydraulic device, and the drive component 33 drives the first link 2 to rotate relative to the base plate 4 by extension and retraction, thereby enabling the seat to be folded and extended.

[0047] In some embodiments, one end of the second link 5 is connected to the seat support frame 1, and the other end is hinged to the base plate 4. The second link 5 is rotatable relative to the seat support frame 1. Along the front-rear direction of the seat, the second link 5 is offset from the first link 2. Specifically, one end of the second link 5 is fixed to the second crossbar 114, and along the front-rear direction of the seat, the connection point between the first link 2 and the side mounting plate 1112 is located in front of the connection point between the second link 5 and the side mounting plate 1112.

[0048] With this configuration, both the first link 2 and the second link 5 can support the seat support frame 1 when the seat is extended or folded, allowing the seat to extend or fold smoothly. Even if the adjuster assembly 3 fails and stops operating, the seat support frame 1 will not suddenly slam into the base plate 4 due to the support provided by the first link 2 and the second link 5, thereby improving the safety of the seat.

[0049] To make the seat more stable when it is extended or folded, there are two second links 5, and the two second links 5 are spaced apart, with the first link 2 located between the two second links 5.

[0050] The seat body 6 includes a seat cushion 61, a backrest 62, and a seat motor (not shown). The backrest 62 is hinged to the seat cushion 61, and the seat cushion 61 is fixed to the slide 123. The seat motor is used to drive the backrest 62 to fold into the seat cushion 61, thereby improving the automation level of the seat.

[0051] The support leg 7 is rotatably connected to the seat support frame 1, and the support leg 7 can be used to support the seat support frame 1. Along the front-rear direction of the seat, the support leg 7 is spaced apart from the second link 5. When the seat is folded, the support leg 7 is folded into the seat support frame 1. Furthermore, the support leg 7 is rotatably connected to the footplate 1113.

[0052] Further integration Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, multiple locking components 8 are provided, and these multiple locking components 8 are respectively located on the support frame 7 and the second connecting rod 5. The locking components 8 are used to lock the seat to improve its stability during use. Each locking component 8 includes a latch 81, a handle 82, a micro switch 83, a first pull rope 84, and a second pull rope 85. The latch 81 is rotatable relative to the handle 82 to engage and disengage the latch 10. The micro switch 83 senses the position of the handle 82. The first pull rope 84 is connected to the latch 81 for pulling the latch 81. The second pull rope 85 is connected to the handle 82 for pulling the handle 82.

[0053] In some other embodiments, the seat also includes a control motor (not shown). The control motor is located on the seat support frame 1 and controls the rotational range between the first link 2 and the seat support frame 1, thereby making the seat more stable when extended and folded. Simultaneously, the design of replacing the second link 5 with a control motor simplifies the seat structure. When the seat extends or folds, the control motor can operate synchronously with the drive component 33, resulting in smoother extension or folding.

[0054] When the seat of this application is folded, the seat first pulls the locking tongue 81 via the first pull rope 84, causing the locking element 8 to disengage from the latch 10. Then, the drive unit 33 drives the first connecting rod 2 to rotate, causing the seat support frame 1 to fold backward and downward toward the base plate 4 until the seat support frame 1 is folded onto the base plate 4. During this process, the support leg 7 folds onto the seat support frame 1. The folding between the backrest 62 and the seat cushion 61 can occur before the locking element 8 is unlocked, during the unlocking process of the locking element 8, during the folding process of the support leg 7, during the operation of the drive unit 33, or after the seat support frame 1 is folded onto the base plate 4.

[0055] like Figures 10 to 13 As shown, this application also provides a vehicle, including a vehicle floor 9 and a seat as described above. The vehicle floor 9 includes a support surface 91 and a luggage receiving cavity 92 recessed from the support surface 91. A floor plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the luggage receiving cavity 92, and the seat can be folded into the luggage receiving cavity 92. When the seat is in the extended state, the luggage receiving cavity 92 is located behind the seat in the vehicle's longitudinal direction. When the seat is in the folded state, at least a portion of the seat back 62 does not extend upward beyond the support surface 91.

[0056] The seats can be controlled via voice commands or folded into or extended from the luggage compartment 92 with a single touch, integrated with the vehicle's infotainment system. By incorporating these seats, the vehicle offers passengers more convenient and diverse usage environments. Furthermore, when the seats are folded into the luggage compartment 92, the seatback 62 forms a large flat surface with the load-bearing surface 91, maximizing luggage space. This allows for the carrying of large items or provides a comfortable resting area, enhancing the vehicle's usability and market competitiveness.

[0057] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
