Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0036] The seat assembly 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Reference Figure 1According to an embodiment of the present invention, a seat assembly 1000 includes a seat body 800 and a refrigerator 100. The refrigerator 100 includes a housing and a storage box disposed within the housing. At least a portion of the storage box is movable outside the housing, and at least a portion of the housing is constructed as part of the seat body 800. For ease of description, the movable portion of the storage box relative to the housing is referred to as a moving body. The moving body can be the holding portion of the storage box, or it can be the wall panel portion of the storage box, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0038] In this application, the refrigeration system of the refrigerator 100 can be an independent system, meaning that the refrigeration system of the refrigerator 100 is independently set up from the vehicle's air conditioning system. Alternatively, the refrigeration system of the refrigerator can be part of the vehicle's air conditioning system; for example, the refrigerator may use the compressor of the vehicle's air conditioning system to compress the refrigerant.

[0039] According to the seat assembly 1000 of this utility model embodiment, by placing the storage compartment of the refrigerator 100 inside the seat body 800, the storage function and seat function are combined, reducing the refrigerator 100's occupation of the vehicle's passenger space and improving the vehicle's space utilization and functional practicality. At least a portion of the storage compartment can be moved outside the housing for easy access, giving the refrigerator 100 more uses. For example, after at least a portion of the storage compartment is moved outside the housing, it can be used as a small table.

[0040] Here, when the storage box is at least partially movable, it can move vertically relative to the vehicle body, move horizontally relative to the vehicle body, or move in a direction inclined to the horizontal. When the seat assembly 1000 is actually applied to a vehicle, the direction of movement of the storage box will be determined based on the specific position of the seat assembly 1000 in the vehicle and the target user group; there are no restrictions here.

[0041] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the storage compartment is movable above or to one side of the housing. Lateral refers to the direction of vehicle travel, or is perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the seat body 800 includes a support portion 820 and a seat cushion 810. At least a portion of the housing is configured as the support portion 820, and the seat cushion 810 is disposed above the support portion 820.

[0043] At least a portion of the storage compartment is movable above or to one side of the support 820. The side is either in the direction of vehicle travel or perpendicular to the direction of vehicle travel.

[0044] In other words, the refrigerator 100 is integrated under the seat cushion 810, making full use of the space under the seat cushion 810. Moreover, since the seat cushion 810 itself occupies a large area, integrating the refrigerator 100 under the seat cushion 810 can ensure a large storage space in the storage box.

[0045] Of course, the proposed solution is not limited to this. For example, the refrigerator 100 can also be integrated into the support part 820 and the seat cushion 810, that is, part of the space of the refrigerator 100 is located in the support part 820 and part of the space is located in the seat cushion 810, which can increase the storage space.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the seat cushion 810 is movable or rotatable relative to the storage compartment. This allows passengers to sit on the seat cushion 810, or to remove or lift it to reveal the refrigerator 100 underneath. The top of the refrigerator 100 can be used as a small table.

[0047] Here, seat 800 can be either the rear seat or the front seat.

[0048] Alternatively, when the seat 800 is a front seat, the seat cushion 810 can be rotated backward and lifted by a hinge or rotating mechanism to provide additional space above the refrigerator 100.

[0049] Optionally, when seat 800 is a rear seat, seat cushion 810 can be rotated up or slid back to expose the space above refrigerator 100.

[0050] Optionally, the rear seats can be a split design. For example, combining Figure 1 The rear seats are constructed as a three-section split structure, and the seat cushion 810 above the refrigerator 100 can be lifted or slid backward individually. Alternatively, the rear seats can be constructed as a two-section split structure, in which case the seat cushions 810 of the two sections can open in a double-door manner, rotating to the sides to free up space above the refrigerator 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the storage box includes a first box body 20 and a top cover 41. The top cover 41 is located on the top of the first box body 20 and can be raised and lowered between a first height and a second height.

[0052] Here, the first height refers to the height reached by the top cover 41 when it descends to its lowest point, and the second height refers to the height reached by the top cover 41 when it rises to its highest point. The specific height positions of the first and second heights are not limited here.

[0053] With this configuration, the top cover 41 can be raised and lowered while the first box 20 cannot be raised or lowered, resulting in a smaller lifting load.

[0054] In some specific embodiments, the seat body 800 includes a seat cushion 810, which is located above the refrigerator 100. The seat cushion 810 is connected to the top cover 41, so when the top cover 41 rises to a second height, it causes the seat cushion 810 to rise as well, at which point the seat cushion 810 can be used as a height-adjustable armrest. Moreover, the armrest height is adjustable, further improving comfort.

[0055] In other specific embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the seat body 800 includes a seat cushion 810, which is located above the refrigerator 100. The seat cushion 810 is movable or rotatable relative to the first cabinet 20. When the seat cushion 810 is above the top cover 41, the top cover 41 is at a first height. When the top cover 41 is at a second height, the seat cushion 810 moves out of or rotates to the lateral side of the top cover 41.

[0056] In this way, not only can the top cover 41 be used as a small table, but the height of the small table is also adjustable.

[0057] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first housing 20 has a first receiving cavity 201 inside, and the top of the first housing 20 has a top opening 202. The top cover 41 fits into the top opening 202 at the first height.

[0058] In other words, the first compartment 20 is the storage part of the storage box. With this configuration, the refrigeration structure of the refrigerator 100 can be located inside the first compartment 20, which can remain fixed, while only the top cover 41 can be raised and lowered.

[0059] In addition, the lifting and lowering action of the top cover 41 can open and close the top opening 202. When the top cover 41 is raised to the second height, the items inside the first receiving cavity 201 can be observed through the top opening 202. Passengers can also take or put items from below the top cover 41 through the top opening 202.

[0060] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top cover 41 is provided with a groove 412, which can be round, square or rectangular, etc., to fit the shape requirements of specific items, such as water cups, mobile phones or keys, to further improve the stability and convenience of storage.

[0061] Optionally, at least a portion of the groove 412 is constructed as a cup holder to facilitate placing a cup and prevent the cup from tipping over and leaking water.

[0062] For example, the groove 412 can be circular.

[0063] In other specific embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the storage box also includes a first tray 42 detachably mounted on the top cover 41. This allows the first tray 42 to hold items, making it convenient to use. Furthermore, when needed, the first tray 42 can be removed from the top cover 41 to support the items on it. The first tray 42 serves as a storage platform and can hold various small items, such as mobile phones, wallets, and beverages, allowing passengers to easily access them during use.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, an anti-slip layer is also provided on the first tray 42 to improve the stability of the items placed on it. The anti-slip layer ensures the stability of the items. Optionally, the anti-slip layer is removable. This allows the user to easily remove the anti-slip layer for cleaning or replacement as needed, thereby ensuring the long-term cleanliness and hygiene of the first tray 42.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top cover 41 has a mating opening 411 that connects to the first receiving cavity 201, and the first tray 42 is detachably disposed at the mating opening 411. This allows the items stored inside the first box 20 to be observed through the mating opening 411 without opening the top cover 41. In addition, items can be placed or removed through the mating opening 411.

[0066] In some alternative embodiments, a tray groove is formed on the first tray 42.

[0067] In some alternative embodiments, the top cover 41 is provided with a groove 412, and the first tray 42 is detachably placed in the groove 412.

[0068] The shape and size of the groove 412 are adapted to the bottom contour of the first tray 42 to ensure that the first tray 42 can be fully embedded and placed securely in the groove 412. This satisfies the placement requirements while preventing the first tray 42 from protruding above the top cover 41, thereby ensuring the flatness of the seat cushion 810 when placed.

[0069] Secondly, the shape of the groove 412 matches the bottom contour of the first tray 42, which ensures that the tray can fit tightly in the groove 412 and avoid shaking or displacement during use.

[0070] In this application, when at least part of the storage box is height-adjustable, it is not limited to only the top cover 41 being height-adjustable.

[0071] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top cover 41 is fixed to the top surface of the first housing 20. The side of the first housing 20 has an additional opening 203 connecting to the interior of the first receiving cavity 201. This allows items to be retrieved from the side instead of the top, facilitating access for passengers in both the front and rear rows.

[0072] When the storage box 20 has an additional opening 203 on its side, the storage box may further include an additional door 45 for opening and closing the additional opening 203.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the storage box includes a second box body 30 and a drawer box 10. The second box body 30 has a second receiving cavity 301 and a side opening 302 on its side. The drawer box 10 is used to hold items. The drawer box 10 is slidably disposed in the second receiving cavity 301 between a first position and a second position. In the second position, at least a portion of the drawer box 10 extends out of the side opening 302.

[0074] In other words, in another design, the drawer box 10 can be moved laterally relative to the second cabinet 30. With this arrangement, the refrigeration structure of the refrigerator 100 can be located within the second cabinet 30, which remains fixed, while only the storage drawer box 10 can move laterally. This not only makes it easier for passengers to observe the items inside the drawer box 10, but also reduces the load on the drawer box 10 during lateral movement.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the storage box also includes a side cover 43 for opening and closing the side opening 302. In this way, the side cover 43 and the side opening 302 form a tight fit, effectively sealing the second receiving cavity 301, ensuring the airtightness of the drawer box 10 in the closed state, effectively preventing cold air leakage or the entry of outside air, and improving the reliability of the refrigerator 100.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the side cover 43 is fixed to the side of the drawer box 10. The side cover 43 and the drawer box 10 are pulled out synchronously to form a drawer structure.

[0077] Here, the drawer box 10 is directly connected to the side cover 43. When the drawer box 10 is moved to the storage position, the side cover 43 closes precisely at the side opening 302. This forms a drawer structure, which not only provides high stability when storing items but also ensures a good seal when closed and has a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0078] In some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the seat cushion 810 of the seat 800 is fixed above the second housing 30. This allows for full utilization of the space under the seat cushion 810 to accommodate a drawer structure, so that when the drawer is opened, the passenger sitting on the seat cushion 810 can look down and see the items.

[0079] In other alternative embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the seat cushion 810 of the seat 800 is movable or rotatable relative to the second compartment 30. The storage compartment also includes a second tray 44, which is located on top of the second compartment 30. This allows the seat 800 to be moved or rotated, using the second tray 44 as a small table. Items can then be taken from the drawer and placed on the second tray 44.

[0080] Here, the second tray 44 is fixed to the top of the second box 30.

[0081] There are also some alternative embodiments, such as Figure 9 As shown, not only is the drawer box 10 a horizontally pull-out drawer structure, but the second tray 44 can also be raised and lowered relative to the second box body 30. This allows for adjustment of the height of the small table, making it more comfortable for passengers to use.

[0082] In the above scheme, the second tray 44 serves as a storage platform that can hold various small items, such as mobile phones, wallets, and beverages, making it convenient for passengers to take and use them at any time while using the drawer box 10.

[0083] To improve the stability of the items placed on the tray, the second tray 44 may optionally include an anti-slip layer. Optionally, the anti-slip layer is removable. This allows users to easily remove the anti-slip layer for cleaning or replacement as needed, ensuring the second tray 44 remains clean and hygienic for longer.

[0084] In some alternative embodiments, a placement slot is formed on the second tray 44. The placement slot can be circular, square, or rectangular, etc., to accommodate items such as water cups, mobile phones, or keys, further improving the stability and convenience of placement.

[0085] To achieve a tight seal, in some optional embodiments, the edges of the top cover 41 and the top opening 202 also include a sealing structure. Optionally, the sealing structure can be a rubber sealing ring, a silicone sealing ring, etc., to ensure the seal when the top cover 41 is closed. Furthermore, the sealing ring also has a cushioning function. When the top cover 41 falls, the sealing ring can absorb the impact, reduce noise, and protect the top cover 41 from damage. When the vehicle is traveling on bumpy roads, the sealing ring can also ensure that the top cover 41 fits stably, effectively preventing the top cover 41 from loosening or making abnormal noises due to vibration, providing users with a quieter and more comfortable riding environment.

[0086] A control panel can be integrated into the top of the refrigerator 100. This allows the top cover 41 to be raised or lowered directly through the control panel.

[0087] Optionally, the control panel can also display the temperature, adjust the temperature, turn the refrigerator on or off, or set the refrigerator's operating mode.

[0088] likeFigures 10-12 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the seat assembly 1000 further includes a controller 70 disposed on top of the refrigerator 100. Preferably, the controller 70 can control the movement of the drawer box 10.

[0089] In some alternative embodiments, the controller 70 may also regulate the temperature, turn the seat assembly on or off, and so on.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figures 10-12 As shown, the seat assembly 1000 also includes a drive unit 50, which is connected to the top cover 41 to drive the top cover 41 to move up and down. This enables automatic movement, further facilitating use and making it easier to raise and lower the top cover 41.

[0091] In this application, the drive device 50 can be directly connected to the top cover 41, thereby indirectly driving the top cover 41 to move.

[0092] Specifically, such as Figure 13 As shown, the drive device 50 includes a drive motor 51, a lead screw 52, ​​and a nut 53. The lead screw 52 is connected to the drive motor 51, and the nut 53 is fitted onto the lead screw 52 and connected to the top cover 41.

[0093] In the above technical solution, the drive motor 51 serves as the power source for the drive device 50, providing rotational power. It occupies little space and has high operational reliability.

[0094] Optionally, the drive motor 51 can be mounted on the refrigerator 100 or on the seat 800 via a bracket or other connecting parts to ensure stability and reliability during operation.

[0095] The lead screw 52 is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 51. Here, the lead screw 52 serves as the transmission component of the drive device 50, responsible for converting rotary motion into linear motion.

[0096] Optionally, the drive unit 50 also includes a reducer. One end of the lead screw 52 is connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor 51 via the reducer. Here, the reducer is used to reduce the rotational speed and increase the torque, ensuring a smooth and powerful lifting process.

[0097] Nut 53 is threaded onto lead screw 52, ​​and nut 53 is connected to top cover 41.

[0098] In this way, the nut 53 engages with the thread on the lead screw 52 to form a helical transmission pair. When the lead screw 52 rotates, the nut 53 will move linearly along the axial direction of the lead screw 52 to realize the movement of the top cover 41.

[0099] Combination Figure 11According to some embodiments of the present invention, the seat assembly 1000 further includes: a guide rail 81 and a slider 82. The guide rail 81 is fixedly arranged in the vertical direction, that is, the direction of movement of the top cover 41. The slider 82 is slidably engaged on the guide rail 81 and is connected to the top cover 41.

[0100] The guide rail 81 serves as the running track for the slider 82, providing a stable sliding path and ensuring that the slider 82 can move smoothly in a predetermined direction during the lifting and lowering process.

[0101] Optionally, the guide rail 81 is made of high-strength, high-wear-resistance, and high-corrosion-resistance materials. For example, the guide rail 81 can be made of alloy steel or stainless steel to ensure the stability and reliability of the guide rail 81 during long-term use.

[0102] The slider 82 is a component that connects the top cover 41 and the guide rail 81. The slider 82 can slide on the guide rail 81, thereby transmitting the linear motion of the guide rail 81 to the top cover 41, realizing the movement of the top cover 41.

[0103] Optionally, the slider 82 is made of a highly wear-resistant material. This helps reduce friction and wear during sliding, improving lifting efficiency and smoothness.

[0104] In some optional embodiments, the slider 82 is a rod-shaped structure, with one end connected to the top cover 41 and the other end connected to the lead screw 52. When the lead screw 52 rotates, the slider 82 moves axially under the action of the threaded engagement, thereby driving the top cover 41 to open and close smoothly along the axial direction. The guide rail 81 adopts a hollow tubular structure and is sleeved on the outside of the slider 82 to form a concentric arrangement. The connection between the slider 82 and the nut 53, through the cooperation between the nut 53 and the lead screw 52, ​​achieves a fixed support function, while restricting the rotational movement of the slider 82, ensuring that it only moves along the axial direction of the guide rail 81, and avoiding unnecessary offset or shaking.

[0105] In some specific examples, when the seat assembly 1000 is in an unused state, the top cover 41 is in its original position, and the slider 82 is at the bottom of the guide rail 81.

[0106] When refrigerator 100 is needed, drive motor 51 starts working, converting rotary motion into linear motion through lead screw 52 and nut 53. At the same time, slider 82 begins to slide under the guidance of guide rail 81.

[0107] When the top cover 41 moves to the predetermined position, the drive motor 51 stops working, and the slider 82 and the top cover 41 also stop moving. The cooperation between the guide rail 81 and the slider 82 enhances the stability and reliability of the movement process, avoids discomfort or damage caused by shaking or jamming, and improves the durability of the seat assembly 1000.

[0108] like Figure 13As shown, in some optional embodiments, the guide rail 81 is provided with a first limiting member 813, and the slider 82 is provided with a second limiting member 821. The first limiting member 813 is located above the second limiting member 821 to limit the rising range of the top cover 41. In this way, safety can be improved and the top cover 41 can be prevented from detaching after rising.

[0109] Optionally, the guide rail 81 is a cylindrical tube, and the first limiting member 813 is a convex ring on the inner peripheral wall of the guide rail 81. Optionally, the slider 82 is a cylindrical tube, and the second limiting member 821 is a convex ring on the outer peripheral wall of the slider 82.

[0110] Specifically, the slider 82 and the nut 53 are concentrically arranged and connected.

[0111] In this application, the storage space of the storage box is the storage cavity 101.

[0112] In some optional embodiments, the refrigerator 100 further includes a heat exchanger 94. The heat exchanger 94 is used to adjust the temperature of the storage cavity 101. Specifically, the heat exchanger 94 may include an evaporator or a radiator for adjusting the temperature of the storage cavity 101 to achieve cooling or heat preservation functions.

[0113] When the heat exchanger 94 includes an evaporator, heat is exchanged between the evaporator and the storage cavity 101, transferring cooling energy to the storage cavity 101. During operation, the refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding environment and evaporates, carrying away a large amount of heat energy from the storage cavity 101 through this process, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

[0114] Alternatively, the type of evaporator is not limited; the evaporator can be a tube-plate evaporator, a tube-belt evaporator, a spiral tube evaporator, or a stacked evaporator, etc.

[0115] When the heat exchanger 94 includes a radiator, the radiator transfers heat to the storage chamber 101, raising the temperature of the storage chamber 101 through heating to meet the user's heating needs.

[0116] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, the seat assembly 1000 also includes a first manifold 92 and a second manifold 93. The first manifold 92 is connected to one end of the heat exchanger 94. The second manifold 93 is connected to the other end of the heat exchanger 94.

[0117] In the above technical solution, it is closely connected to the inlet end of the evaporator. The first manifold 92 serves as the channel for refrigerant to enter the evaporator, ensuring that the refrigerant can be evenly distributed in multiple parts of the evaporator.

[0118] The second manifold 93 is securely mounted on the housing of the storage compartment, but it is connected to the outlet end of the evaporator. The second manifold 93 is used to collect the refrigerant after it has completed evaporation and heat absorption in the evaporator, and guide it to the compressor or other components for further circulation. Through the cooperation of the first manifold 92 and the second manifold 93, the refrigerant can continuously circulate in the system, thereby maintaining a stable cooling effect in the storage compartment 101.

[0119] Optionally, there may be multiple first manifolds 92 and second manifolds 93. Multiple first manifolds 92 can ensure a more even distribution of refrigerant as it enters the evaporator from the compressor. This helps to avoid excessive refrigerant buildup in some areas and insufficient refrigerant in others.

[0120] Similarly, multiple second manifolds 93 can more effectively collect the refrigerant after it has completed evaporation and heat absorption in the evaporator and guide it to the next system component, such as the compressor, for further circulation.

[0121] In some optional embodiments, the first manifold 92 and the second manifold 93 are disposed on the shell of the storage box, which facilitates connection with the heat exchanger 94 and improves heat exchange efficiency. Alternatively, the first manifold 92 and the second manifold 93 are disposed on the top cover, which can reduce the occupancy of the storage space inside the shell of the storage box and increase storage capacity.

[0122] A vehicle according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: a body and a seat assembly 1000. The seat assembly 1000 is disposed within the body.

[0123] In some embodiments, the system further includes: a seat 800 disposed within the vehicle body, and a refrigerator 100 of the seat assembly 1000 mounted below the seat 800.

[0124] It is worth noting that the specific type of vehicle referred to in this application is not limited. For example, the vehicle can be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a natural gas-powered vehicle, or a new energy vehicle. New energy vehicles can be pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, range-extended electric vehicles, solar-powered electric vehicles, gas fuel vehicles (such as hydrogen engine vehicles), or biofuel vehicles (such as vehicles powered by ethanol, biodiesel, etc.). The vehicle according to this utility model embodiment, utilizing the improved seat assembly 1000, achieves storage functionality without encroaching on the functional areas inside the vehicle, optimizing the utilization rate of the vehicle's interior space and meeting the user's storage needs.

[0125] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle also includes: two rear seats, with the seat assembly 1000 located between the two rear seats.

[0126] Here, the seat assembly 1000 is embedded between the two rear seats, with the top surface of its seat cushion 810 flush with the top surface of the rear seats, forming a unified seating layout and avoiding space occupation caused by different heights. In addition, the top cover of the seat assembly 1000 can also serve as a platform for passengers to place items or perform temporary operations, further improving space utilization and functionality.

[0127] When there are three rear seats, the seat assembly 1000 is located under the middle rear seat. In this configuration, the middle rear seat and the seat body 800 within the seat assembly 1000 are the same component. The seat serves both as a seating function and a roof, and the storage compartment beneath can be revealed by flipping or moving it. This integrated design effectively saves interior space, improves the compactness of the layout, and facilitates user access to items, achieving an optimized combination of space utilization and functionality.

[0128] Other components of the seat assembly 1000 according to embodiments of the present invention, such as vehicles, and their operation are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
