Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to an automotive seat with an airbag. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive safety, airbags, as a crucial passive safety device, play a vital role in protecting the lives of passengers in collisions. With the continuous development of the automotive industry and the increasing demands of consumers for vehicle safety performance, the design and installation technology of automotive seat airbags is also constantly innovating and optimizing. In traditional automotive seat airbag designs, there are some pressing issues regarding the placement of airbags in car seats, especially concerning the placement of the distal airbag near the center console and the proximal airbag near the door. The center console, as an important functional component inside the car, has a compact surrounding space, and the distal airbag usually needs to be installed near the center console. In traditional designs, the backrest foam completely covers the distal airbag. However, this design approach has significant drawbacks.

[0003] Because the space between the car's center console and the remote airbag is already limited, completely covering the remote airbag with foam backrests would further compress the installation space of the center console, causing interference between the two. Traditional solutions to this interference problem involve reducing the size of either the center console or the backrest. However, both reducing the size of the center console and the backrest negatively impact passenger comfort. Reducing the size of the center console may affect its functionality and ease of operation, while reducing the backrest size reduces the seat's support and comfort, making passengers feel uncomfortable during the ride. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a car seat with airbags, which can not only achieve the stable installation of the remote airbag and the proximal airbag, but also avoid interference with the center console, and at the same time not affect the passenger's riding experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a car seat with airbags, including a distal airbag near the center console and a proximal airbag near the door, as well as a backrest frame, a backrest foam, and a backrest cover. The backrest foam covers the backrest frame, and an L-shaped bracket plate is welded outward on each end plate of the backrest frame. The distal and proximal airbags are fixed to the corresponding bracket plates and are enclosed within the backrest foam. An L-shaped plastic plate is also fixed outward on the bracket plate corresponding to the distal airbag. The plastic plate is fitted and covers the side of the distal airbag near the center console, and the thickness of the plastic plate is 1-2 mm. A window is provided at the position of the plastic plate corresponding to the backrest foam, through which the side of the plastic plate near the center console is exposed. The backrest cover covers the backrest foam and encloses the plastic plate.

[0006] In the above solution: the surface of the plastic panel is flush with the surface of the foamed backrest around the window. From the perspective of the seat appearance, the plastic panel is flush with the foamed backrest surface, without any obvious protrusions or depressions, making the seat surface look flat and smooth, with smooth and natural lines, perfectly integrated with the overall design style of the seat, enhancing the aesthetics and refinement of the seat.

[0007] In the above solution: the support plate includes a horizontal section and a vertical section, and the vertical section is welded to the corresponding side plate of the backrest frame. The structure is simple and easy to process.

[0008] In the above scheme: there are three welding points between the vertical section of the support plate and the corresponding side plate of the backrest frame. The three welding points are distributed in a triangular shape, which helps to ensure the installation stability of the support plate.

[0009] In the above scheme, both the distal airbag and the proximal airbag are fixed to the top surface of the horizontal section of the corresponding side support plate by two screws arranged at intervals, so that the airbag can be smoothly deployed from the front side of the support plate in the event of an accident.

[0010] In the above solution: the bottom surface of the plastic plate is fixed to the corresponding side bracket plate with screws, and it shares two screws with the distal airbag for fixation. The structure is simple and easy to install.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. In traditional designs, the backrest foam completely covers the distal airbag. Due to the limited space between the car's center console and the distal airbag, interference between the two is very likely, affecting the normal installation of the center console. This invention, by opening a window at the corresponding position of the backrest foam, reduces the space occupied by the backrest foam on the center console installation while ensuring the normal installation and function of the distal airbag. This effectively avoids interference between the distal airbag and the center console, eliminating the need to reduce the size of the center console or backrest, thus ensuring the integrity of the center console's function and maintaining seat comfort. 2. The window is located on the side of the backrest foam, which does not reduce the backrest's support and wrapping effect on the passenger's body, or has only a negligible impact. 3. The side of the distal airbag closest to the center console is covered by a plastic panel. This design makes the seat appearance smoother and more aesthetically pleasing. The plastic panel provides good support and protection, preventing the backrest cover from directly covering the distal airbag, which could easily cause dents or deformation at the corresponding position, thus improving the seat's aesthetics and quality. 4. Both the distal and proximal airbags are fixed to the backrest frame with the help of a bracket plate, which makes the structure simple and easy to install. Attached Figure Description

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 4, a car seat with an airbag mainly consists of a distal airbag 1 near the center console and a proximal airbag 2 near the door, as well as a backrest frame 3, a backrest foam 4, and a backrest cover 7.

[0017] The backrest foam 4 covers the backrest frame 3. An L-shaped support plate 5 is welded outward on each of the two end side plates of the backrest frame 3. The distal airbag 1 and the proximal airbag 2 are fixed on the support plate 5 on the corresponding side, and the distal airbag 1 and the proximal airbag 2 are both wrapped inside the backrest foam 4.

[0018] An L-shaped plastic plate 8 is fixed outward on the bracket plate 5 corresponding to the remote airbag 1. The plastic plate 8 is fitted and covers the side of the remote airbag 1 near the central control box, and the thickness of the plastic plate 8 is 1-2mm. A window 6 is opened at the position of the backrest foam 4 corresponding to the position of the plastic plate 8. The side of the plastic plate 8 near the central control box is exposed through the window 6. The backrest cover 7 covers the backrest foam 4 and covers the plastic plate 8.

[0019] Ideally, the surface of the plastic panel 8 should be flush with the surface of the backrest foam 4 around the window 6. From the perspective of the seat appearance, the plastic panel 8 and the backrest foam 4 are flush, without any obvious bulges or depressions, making the seat surface look flat and smooth with smooth and natural lines, perfectly blending with the overall design style of the seat and enhancing its aesthetics and sophistication.

[0020] Ideally, the support plate 5 includes a horizontal section and a vertical section, with the vertical section being welded to the corresponding side plate of the backrest frame 3, resulting in a simple structure and convenient processing.

[0021] Ideally, there should be three welding points between the vertical section of the support plate 5 and the corresponding side plate of the backrest frame 3, with the three welding points arranged in a triangular pattern, which helps to ensure the installation stability of the support plate 5.

[0022] Ideally, both the distal airbag 1 and the proximal airbag 2 are fixed to the top surface of the horizontal section of the corresponding side support plate 5 by two screws arranged at intervals, so that the airbags can be smoothly deployed from the front side of the support plate 5 in the event of an accident.

[0023] Ideally, the bottom of the plastic plate 8 is fixed to the bracket plate 5 on the corresponding side with screws, and it shares two screws with the distal airbag 1 for fixation. The structure is simple and easy to install.
