[0020] In order to enable persons skilled in the art to more clearly understand the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application, the solutions of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0021] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the description are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0022] More and more people pay attention to the comfort of vehicle seats, and the filling material of the seat is an important factor affecting the comfort of the seat. A commonly used filling material structure is a hierarchical structure of "high-density sponge + slow-rebound soft foam", and another is a hierarchical structure of "high-density sponge + shock-absorbing layer + slow-rebound sponge". The two kinds of filling material structures are connected between different layers by adhesive process, which is not conducive to the control of odor and VOC, and has high cost and complex process. The filling materials of the two structures have the disadvantage of sudden change of softness in the vertical direction of the seat, causing some uncomfortable riding experience such as soft surface layer but hard deep layer support.

[0023] In view of this, as Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a filling material structure, which comprises a surface soft foam layer 1, a transition foaming layer 2 and a body foaming layer 3 connected in sequence, the hardness of the surface soft foam layer 1 is less than that of the body foaming layer 3, the hardness of the transition foaming layer 2 increases from the surface soft foam layer 1 to the body foaming layer 3 along its thickness, and the hardness of the side of the transition foaming layer 2 connected with the surface soft foam layer 1 is less than that of the side connected with the body foaming layer 3, and the transition foaming layer 2 is a fusion layer of the surface soft foam layer 1 and the body foaming layer 3.

[0024] The filling material structure provided by the embodiments of the present application is mainly used in a seat, for example, a seat part of the seat is provided with the filling material structure. When a human body contacts the seat, the human body first contacts the surface soft foam layer 1. The relatively soft surface soft foam layer 1 provides a soft and comfortable feeling to the human body. With the continuous extrusion of the human body on the surface soft foam layer 1, the surface soft foam layer 1 extrudes the transition foam layer 2. The hardness of the transition foam layer 2 gradually increases, so that the human body feels that the supporting hardness gradually increases, until the pressure is finally transmitted to the body foam layer 3. The hardness of the body foam layer 3 is higher than that of the surface soft foam layer 1. The body foam layer 3 provides supporting force for the surface soft foam layer 1 and the transition foam layer 2, and is also used for supporting the human body. When the human body sits on the seat provided with the filling material structure, the human body does not feel uncomfortable due to the sudden change of the hardness and the hard feeling, and the comfort is improved.

[0025] In some embodiments, the surface soft foam layer 1, the transition foam layer 2 and the body foam layer 3 are in an integrated structure. Compared with the prior art in which different layers are bonded by glue, the control of odor and VOC is facilitated. In specific implementation, the body foam is produced according to the existing foaming process in the foaming mold. The surface soft foam can be placed in the lower model cavity of the foaming mold. The surface soft foam is fixed by using five iron powder sheets and corresponding strong magnetic points on the mold. The surface soft foam layer 1 and the body foam layer 3 are integrated and matured, and are completely fused. At the same time, the hardness of the surface layer to the body layer is smoothly transitioned from soft to hard in the thickness direction. In this production process, a transition foam layer, that is, the transition foam layer 2, is naturally formed between the surface soft foam layer 1 and the body foam layer 3. The transition foam layer 2 is formed by the thickness of the surface soft foam layer 1 being occupied during the raw material rising process of the body foam layer 3.

[0026] In some embodiments, the surface soft foam layer 1, the transition foam layer 2 and the body foam layer 3 are all polyurethane foam layers. The polyurethane foam layer has good heat insulation effect, excellent waterproof performance, strong corrosion resistance and stable chemical properties.

[0027] In some embodiments, the density of the surface soft foam layer 1 made of polyurethane is 50kg / m 3 -55kg / m 3 The surface soft foam layer 1 with the density is soft and comfortable.

[0028] In some embodiments, the resilience rate of the surface soft foam layer 1 is 25%-35%. The human body experiences strong comfort after contacting the surface soft foam layer 1.

[0029] In some embodiments, the density of the body foam layer 3 made of polyurethane is 60kg / m 3 -70kg / m 3 The body foam layer 3 can provide support and will not affect the experience of the human body.

[0030] In some embodiments, the resilience of the bulk foamed layer 3 is not less than 60%, and the comfort is strong.

[0031] In some embodiments, considering the foaming forming process and cost, and the transition foamed layer 2 is formed by the raw material of the bulk foamed layer 3 invading the thickness of the surface soft foamed layer 1 during the foaming process, the thicknesses of the surface soft foamed layer 1, the transition foamed layer 2 and the bulk foamed layer 3 satisfy the following relationships: the overall thicknesses of the surface soft foamed layer 1, the transition foamed layer 2 and the bulk foamed layer 3 are D, D≥60mm; the thickness of the surface soft foamed layer 1 is D1, 20mm≤D1+D2≤40mm, for example, D1+D2 is 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm and 40mm, and 30%≤(D1+D2) / D≤50%, the surface soft foamed layer 1 cannot be too thick to cause the overall filling material structure to be too soft, and cannot be too thin to cause the comfort to decrease after the human body contacts; the thickness of the transition foamed layer is D2, and 25%≤D2 / (D1+D2)≤40%, the hardness of the transition foamed layer gradually increases from the side close to the surface soft foamed layer 1 to the side close to the bulk foamed layer 3, and the transition foamed layer has a transition effect, the transition foamed layer is too thin to have a weak transition effect, and is too thick to invade the thickness of the surface soft foamed layer 1, and then to decrease the softness of the surface of the seat.

[0032] Another embodiment of the present application provides a seat, which comprises the filling material structure described above. The backrest part or the seat part of the seat can be provided with the filling material layer described above.

[0033] Still another embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, which comprises the seat described above.
