The novel backrest framework comprises a lower support member 1 for supporting the middle lower segment of the back of a user, and an upper support member 2 extending upward and fixedly connected to the middle position of the top of the lower support member 1 for supporting the middle upper segment of the back of the user. In this embodiment, the middle point of the top of the lower support member 1 and the two end points of the lower side of the lower support member 1 form a triangular frame, which can ensure the structural strength of the lower support member 1. The upper support member 2 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the top of the lower support member 1. Figure 1 As can be seen, the lower side of each end of the lower support member 1 is provided with an assembly seat 3 for rotatingly mounting to the rear end of the seat frame B.

[0038] Based on the above structural design, by designing the novel backrest framework as the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 1 connected in series, the lower support member 1 can provide strong support to the middle lower segment of the back and the waist of the user, and the upper support member 2 can provide strong support to the middle upper segment of the back of the user. Such a structural design can improve the structural strength of the novel backrest framework, and when the backrest foam 5 is mounted on the novel backrest framework, it can ensure that the overall backrest is balanced in force, thereby improving the stability of the overall seat.

[0039] Further, as shown in Figure 1 , the lower support member 1 is configured in an arc-shaped arch structure. Such a structural design can improve the structural strength, so that the lower support member 1 can better disperse the pressure borne by the seat, prevent the framework from deforming, and on the other hand, can save materials and costs, and has the technical advantages of simple structure, easy design and installation.

[0040] Further, the lower support member 1 is made of a bent pipe. In this way, the lower support member 1 not only has good strength and toughness, but also has a relatively light weight, which is conducive to the lightweight design of the seat. On the other hand, the lower support member 1 made of a bent pipe can more effectively utilize the space for the installation of other functional components, such as the pipelines of the seat heating and ventilation devices, the lines of the adjusting structure, etc., and has the advantages of high integration and compact structure. The lower end of the upper support member 2 is fixedly welded to the middle position of the top of the lower support member 1.

[0041] Combination Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the upper support member 2 is a long strip member with an n-shaped cross-section and support flanges 21 extending outward from the lower ends of both sides of the n-shaped structure. The n-shaped cross-section of the long strip member can enhance the compressive strength of the frame and maintain the stability of the structure. The support flanges 21 can be easily connected to adjacent components during seat assembly, thereby strengthening the stability of the connection.

[0042] Then by Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the lower surface of the upper support member 2 has an irregular arc-shaped structure 22, which matches the top contour of the lower support member 1 with its arc-shaped arch structure. This structural design increases the contact area between the upper support member 2 and the lower support member 1, enhances the strength of the weld, and improves the weld quality.

[0043] refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the upper support member 2 is a sheet metal part, which has the technical advantages of excellent strength and good stability. In addition, the upper support member 2 is constructed with a slightly backward-curved structure, which can better conform to the physiological curve of the human spine, making the backrest more ergonomically designed.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 7 A support backplate 3 is fixedly installed on the front side of the lower support member 1 and the upper support member 2. The support backplate 3 can increase the support area of ​​the new backrest frame and further improve the support strength of the backrest. In this embodiment, the lower part of the support backplate 3 has a hollow design, which reserves installation space inside the seat back, and can integrate more functional components without increasing the thickness of the backrest.

[0045] The support back panel 3 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane rubber. With this in mind, the support back panel 3 has the advantages of being lightweight, high-strength and tough. It is not easily deformed when subjected to external forces, and can provide reliable support for the seat to ensure the safety of the ride.

[0046] Further, refer to Figure 2 and 7 The circumferential edge of the hollowed-out area in the lower part of the support back plate 3 is fixedly connected to the lower support component 1, and then combined with... Figure 11 As shown, the rear side of the support back plate 3 has a positioning groove 32 adapted to the n-shaped structure. The areas on both sides of the support back plate 3 corresponding to the positioning groove 32 are fastened to the support flange 21 by fasteners 7. In this embodiment, the fasteners 7 are bolts. This structural design ensures the stability of the support back plate 3 during installation, preventing lateral swaying and ensuring high reliability.

[0047] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 11As shown, the upper end edge of the hollowed-out area in the lower part of the support back plate 3 is provided with a connecting lug 3a, which is fixed to the rear side of the lower support member 1 by bolts, and the number of connecting lugs 3a is two. The support back plate 3 is fixed to the front side of the support flange 21 corresponding to the two sides of the positioning groove 32. In this way, the design has the advantages of high connection strength and good stability.

[0048] Please refer to Figure 9 , the two surfaces between the support back plate 3 and the two support flanges 21 are provided with pads 8, which can make the support back plate 3 elastic and tight, and can provide better support and stability, prevent the fastener 7 from loosening, and reduce the wear between the support back plate 3 and the upper support member 2.

[0049] Again from Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the circumferential edge of the support back plate 3 is provided with a flange side wing 31 protruding forward, and the height of the flange side wing 31 gradually increases from top to bottom. In this way, the two side wing areas of the backrest can be effectively supported.

[0050] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 9 , the rear side of the backrest foam 5 is provided with a circumferentially surrounding first wrapping structure 51, which can be seen from Figure 6 , the first wrapping structure 51 is sleeved on the circumferential edge of the support back plate 3. Such mounting structure can improve the convenience and stability of assembly, and ensure the consistency of seat quality. At the same time, the backrest foam 5 is made of 3d printing process, which can directly, quickly and accurately manufacture the foam body, ensure the consistency of foam body structure, and also can easily realize individualized customization production according to the specific needs and requirements of users. On the other hand, 3d printing can accurately control the structure and material distribution of the foam body, and design a lattice structure or a porous structure with lightweight characteristics, which effectively reduces the weight of the automobile seat under the premise of ensuring the strength and comfort of the seat.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the retaining ring 4 is connected between the assembly seats 3 at both ends of the lower support member 1. As can be seen from Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in this embodiment, the first wrapping structure 51 is a structure folded backward and downward, which is distributed on the circumferential edge of the upper end and both sides of the backrest foam 5. Please refer to Figure 6 and 8The first wrapping structure 51 is formed with a first connecting groove 511 on the inner side of the first wrapping structure 51, which is adapted to the flange side wing 31 of the support back plate 3. The backrest foam 5 is provided with a second wrapping structure 52 at the lower end of the rear side of the backrest foam 5, which is used to be sleeved on the holder 4. The second wrapping structure 52 is formed with a second connecting groove 522 on the inner side of the second wrapping structure 52, which is adapted to the outer side contour of the holder 4.

[0052] In the embodiment, the backrest foam 5 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane rubber. The 3D printing of the thermoplastic polyurethane rubber foam body has excellent comfort, wear resistance and compression strength, and has a lighter weight than traditional seats, which can realize the lightweight design of the automobile seat.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 8 The middle and / or both side regions of the front side surface of the backrest foam 5 are provided with soft support regions a, and the hardness of the soft support regions a is less than the hardness of the body of the backrest foam 5. In the embodiment, the soft support regions a are distributed in the middle and both side wing regions of the backrest foam 5. The soft support region a in the middle of the backrest foam 5 corresponds to the region where the user's back leans against, and the upper soft support region a and the lower soft support region a are distributed in the side wings of the backrest foam 5. The upper soft support region a is the region where the user's shoulders lean against, and the lower soft support region a is the region where the user's arms lean against.

[0054] Based on this, the backrest adopts a soft and hard partition design, which can enhance the support of the backrest and improve the comfort of the seat, ensure that each part of the body can be comfortably supported, and avoid fatigue and discomfort caused by excessive local pressure. Moreover, the 3D printing technology can directly print the body of the backrest foam 5 and the soft support region a, which improves the production efficiency and reduces the manufacturing cost. In actual application, the soft support region a is not limited to the above distribution manner, and the manufacturer can customize the design according to the needs of different customer groups, so as to produce different soft and hard partitions.

[0055] Since the backrest foam 5 is fixed on the support back plate 3 in a ring sleeve manner and does not completely cover the rear side of the new backrest framework, in order to make the overall structure beautiful, as shown in Figure 10 , a cover plate 6 is fixed and assembled on the rear side of the new backrest framework. In combination with Figure 9 , in the embodiment, the first wrapping structure 51 is provided with a second connecting structure 53 which is recessed towards the interior of the backrest, the recessed depth of the second connecting structure 53 is adapted to the thickness of the cover plate 6, and the second connecting structure 53 is adapted to the circumferential contour of the upper part of the cover plate 6. During installation, the backrest foam 5 is assembled first, and then the cover plate 6 is installed. The cover plate 6 can be connected with the back side of the backrest foam 5 to form a whole, so as to ensure the beauty of the overall seat backrest.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 9The backrest foam 5 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 54 on the back side, and the protrusions 54 are provided with clamping grooves b for mounting backrest functional components, which can be ventilation devices, massage devices and the like that need to be arranged in the backrest. In combination with the structural design of the lower support member 1 and the support back plate 3, the lower support member 1 and the support back plate 3 do not interfere with the installation of the functional components, the protrusions 54 can be exposed in the space surrounded by the arc-shaped arch structure, so that the functional components can be better embedded in the backrest, without occupying the external space of the seat, and have the advantages of high integration, compact structure, neat and beautiful appearance, convenient installation, and the like, and whether to install such functional components can be selected according to the needs of the user.
