For example, the order of operations described herein is merely illustrative and is not limited to the order set forth herein; changes that will be apparent after understanding the disclosure of this application are possible, except for operations that must occur in a specific order. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0023] The features described herein may be implemented in different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples described herein. Rather, the examples described herein have been provided merely to illustrate some of the many feasible ways of implementing the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein that will be apparent upon understanding the disclosure of this application.

[0024] Throughout the specification, when an element (such as a layer, region, or substrate) is described as being "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "bonded to" another element, "on" another element, or "covering" another element, it may be directly "on" another element, "connected to" another element, "bonded to" another element, "on" another element, or "covering" another element, or there may be one or more other elements in between. In contrast, when an element is described as being "directly on" another element, "directly connected to" another element, "directly bonded to" another element, "directly on" another element, or "directly covering" another element, there may be no other elements in between.

[0031] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a car seat 1 is provided, which has a seat cushion 10 and a backrest 11. Further, the seat cushion 10 is provided with ventilation holes, sensor components, and a multi-functional module. These components enable not only the conventional ventilation function of the car seat 1, but also the purification and detection of odors. The specific structure of the car seat 1 according to the present invention and the positional relationships of its components will be described in detail below.

[0032] It should be noted that existing car seats 1 all have a backrest 11 and a seat cushion 10, and the ventilation function achieved by setting multiple ventilation holes on the surface of the seat cushion 10 is also existing technology. Therefore, the specific structure and principle of the ventilation holes will not be described in detail. Furthermore, in order to ensure the effective operation of the ventilation performance and odor detection and analysis function of this seat, the multiple ventilation holes should be evenly distributed on the surface of the seat cushion 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a cavity 12 is formed at the top of the seat cushion 10. Each of the aforementioned ventilation holes communicates with this cavity 12, and the sensor assembly is disposed within this cavity 12, i.e., below the ventilation hole, thereby enabling real-time detection of the gas content (i.e., gas concentration) on the surface of the seat cushion 10. Specifically, the sensor assembly includes multiple gas sensors 20 (existing components capable of detecting the concentration of various gases). Each gas sensor 20 is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 12 by means of screwing or welding to detect the gas content on the surface of the seat cushion 10.

[0034] It should be noted that the cavity 12 provides stable support for the gas sensor 20, which is beneficial to the air collection effect of the ventilation device 31 described below. However, there are no specific limitations on the specific specifications of the cavity 12, such as its depth, length, and width, as long as the aforementioned technical effect can be achieved. Furthermore, there are no specific limitations on the number, type (the type of gas sensor 20 can be determined according to the type of gas to be detected; one gas sensor 20 can also detect multiple gases simultaneously, all of which are existing technologies), arrangement, and connection method with the cavity 12 of the gas sensors 20, as long as the aforementioned technical effect of real-time detection of the gas content on the surface of the cushion portion 10 can be achieved. Preferably, multiple gas sensors 20 are evenly arranged to better achieve this technical effect.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the seat cushion 10 has a multi-functional module inside. Specifically, the multi-functional module includes a connecting pipe 30, a gas analysis device 32, a ventilation device 31, and a purification device 33. The gas analysis device 32, the ventilation device 31, and the purification device 33 are all connected to the cavity 12 through the connecting pipe 30, and thus can communicate with the ventilation holes. More specifically, the connecting pipe 30 includes a vertical section and a horizontal section connected in sequence. The vertical section communicates with the cavity 12, so that the horizontal section is located at the bottom of the seat cushion 10, thereby ensuring the comfort of the seat cushion 10.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the ventilation device 31 is located at the top of the vertical section near the cavity 12. The ventilation device 31 includes a drive motor (not shown) and a ventilation fan adapted to the connecting pipe 30. The drive motor is connected to the ventilation fan to drive the ventilation fan to rotate. It should be noted that this ventilation fan is the same fan used in existing car seats 1 to achieve seat ventilation, and it can be fixed to the connecting pipe 30 by screwing or welding. Furthermore, the ventilation fan in this embodiment can be configured to be driven to rotate forward or backward (existing technology), thus enabling the fan to have both suction and blowing functions, enriching the functionality of the seat and increasing its flexibility. The drive motor is communicatively connected and / or electrically connected to the gas sensor 20, meaning that the gas sensor 20 can control the ventilation device 31 to turn on.

[0037] Furthermore, the purification device 33 is located at the end of the horizontal section away from the vertical section. This purification device 33 includes a mounting mesh that is adapted to and fixed to the connecting pipe 30, and the mesh is filled with activated carbon capable of absorbing odors. Further, a gas analysis device 32 is connected to the connecting pipe 30. Along the extension direction of the connecting pipe 30, the gas analysis device 32 is located between the ventilation device 31 and the purification device 33. This gas analysis device 32 is also an existing component, capable of communicating or electrically connecting to the vehicle's infotainment system to output health reports for corresponding passengers.

[0038] Thus, when passengers expel odor and the gas sensor 20 detects that the gas content exceeds the standard, it can adjust the drive motor to turn on, thereby driving the ventilation fan to rotate and transmit the odor through the connecting pipe 30 to the gas analysis device 32 and the purification device 33 (the gas analysis device 32 has its inlet end connected to the ventilation device 31 and its outlet end connected to the purification device 33).

[0039] It should be noted that the specifications of the connecting pipe 30 and the connection method between the ventilation device 31 and other components and the connecting pipe 30 are not fixed, as long as the above-mentioned technical effects can be achieved. In addition, although not shown in the figure, in order to ensure the stable intake of odorous gas, a pump that is communicatively connected to the gas sensor 20 can be installed at the end of the purification device 33 away from the gas analysis device 32.

[0040] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multi-functional module also includes three buffer valves 34 (the number of which is not fixed and can be four or five, etc.), which can effectively reduce the noise of gas flow.

[0041] After the above-mentioned components are stably assembled with the car seat 1, the interior of the seat cushion 10 is filled by processes such as foaming.

[0042] According to the car seat 1 described above, a sensor assembly and a multi-functional module are provided inside the seat cushion portion 10 of the car seat 1. The sensor assembly can detect the gas content on the surface of the seat cushion portion 10. The multi-functional module is connected to the ventilation holes on the surface of the seat cushion portion 10 and specifically includes a gas analysis device 32, a ventilation device 31, and a purification device 33. The ventilation device 31 is communicatively and / or electrically connected to the sensor assembly. Thus, the sensor assembly can detect the gas content on the surface of the seat cushion portion 10 of the car seat 1 in real time. When the gas content reaches a set value (i.e., when the passenger exhales odor), the ventilation device 31 is triggered, which then transmits the gas to the gas analysis device 32 for analysis, and then transmits the gas to the purification device 33 for purification.

[0043] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including the car seat 1 as described above.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application. Such modifications, changes, or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and should all be covered within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
