In related technologies, the outer side of the seat cushion is provided with an inner side panel and an outer side panel. The inner side panel is connected to the seat frame, and the outer side panel covers the inner side panel. The junction between the outer side panel and the inner side panel has uneven surfaces, resulting in poor decorative effect. In addition, the uneven surface at the junction can easily scratch the user. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a seat and vehicle to solve the problem that the uneven surface at the junction of the outer side panel and the inner side panel results in poor decorative effect, and the uneven surface at the junction can also easily scratch the user.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] According to a first aspect of this application, this application provides a seat, which includes: a seat frame, a seat cushion, and a backrest, wherein the seat cushion and the backrest are both disposed on the seat frame, and the backrest is erected at one end of the seat cushion; it also includes an outer side panel and an inner side panel, which are disposed on the outside of the seat cushion, the inner side panel is connected to the seat frame, the outer side panel covers the inner side panel, and the end of the inner side panel is abutted to the end of the outer side panel.
[0006] According to the aforementioned technical means, both the seat cushion and backrest are mounted on the seat frame, with the backrest standing upright at one end of the seat cushion. Inner and outer side panels are positioned on the outer side of the seat cushion. The inner side panel is connected to the seat frame, and the outer side panel covers the inner side panel. The ends of the inner and outer side panels align, reducing or eliminating surface unevenness between the outer edges of the inner and outer side panels, thereby improving the seat's aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, reducing or eliminating surface unevenness between the inner and outer side panels also prevents scratches on the user, enhancing the user experience.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the inner side panel includes a panel body, a transition portion, and an end plate. The end plate is connected to the panel body through the transition portion, and the end of the end plate is connected to the outer side panel. The transition portion includes an arc-shaped plate so that there is a preset angle between the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side panel.
[0008] Based on the above technical means, the arc-shaped plate of the transition section makes the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate form a preset angle, which can enable the two plates in different directions or positions to achieve a smooth angle transition, making the overall structure more in line with specific spatial layout and design requirements.
[0009] In one possible implementation, the portion of the plate near the transition section is arc-shaped.
[0010] According to the above technical means, the angle between the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate can be further reduced by using the part of the plate near the transition section and the arc plate.
[0011] In one possible implementation, the plate, transition section, and end plate are an integral structure.
[0012] Based on the above technical means, the plate body, transition section and end plate are integrated into a single structure, reducing connecting parts and gaps, making the plate structure more stable. When subjected to pressure or external force, it can distribute the force more evenly, reducing the risk of deformation, cracking and other risks, thereby improving the safety of use. In addition, some assembly steps can be reduced during processing, improving production efficiency. At the same time, it is more convenient and quick to install, saving installation time and costs.
[0013] In one possible implementation, the end edge of the inner side panel is provided with a first rounded corner, and the end edge of the outer side panel is provided with a second rounded corner.
[0014] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the first and second rounded corners can eliminate the sharp edges and corners at the ends of the side panels. During daily use, this effectively prevents injuries such as scratches and bumps caused by accidental collisions or contact, providing better safety protection, especially for those who frequently handle the product, such as operators or users. The rounded corner design makes the product's lines smoother and softer, more aesthetically pleasing and approachable compared to sharp edges and corners, enhancing the overall visual effect of the product and making it more attractive in appearance, thus increasing its market competitiveness.
[0015] In one possible implementation, the inner side panel and the outer side panel are detachably connected.
[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the detachable connection allows the inner and outer side panels to be flexibly combined and adjusted according to different usage scenarios or functional requirements, resulting in greater flexibility.
[0017] In one possible implementation, a first snap-fit plate is provided at the end of the inner side plate, and a second snap-fit plate is provided on the inner surface of the outer side plate. The first snap-fit plate and the second snap-fit plate are perpendicular to each other. A first snap-fit groove is provided on the second snap-fit plate, and at least a portion of the first snap-fit plate is snapped into the first snap-fit groove.
[0018] According to the above technical means, when the first snap-fit plate is snapped into the first slot of the second snap-fit plate, the relative movement of the inner side plate and the outer side plate is restricted in the direction, making the connection between the two more stable and reliable, and less likely to loosen or fall off.
[0019] In one possible implementation, a second slot is provided on the first card plate, and at least a portion of the second card plate is engaged in the second slot, with the first slot communicating with the second slot.
[0020] According to the above technical means, the second snap-fit plate is snapped into the second snap-fit slot, which can achieve a tight fit between the two, restrict their relative movement, make the connection between the first snap-fit plate and the second snap-fit plate more stable, and prevent them from loosening or falling off when subjected to external forces, thus ensuring the stability of the structure.
[0021] In one possible implementation, the outer side panel is also detachably connected to the seat frame.
[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical methods, detachable connections facilitate modular production during seat manufacturing. Furthermore, detachable connections make the production process more flexible. When adjustments or improvements to the seat design are needed, only the corresponding components require modification, without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire production process.
[0023] According to a second aspect of this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including a body-in-white and seats as described above, the body-in-white surrounding a driver's cab and a passenger cabin, the seats being disposed within the driver's cab and / or passenger cabin.
[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the seats are installed in the driver's cab and / or passenger cabin, thus avoiding the problem of cutting hands when users in the driver's cab and / or passenger cabin touch the connection between the inner and outer side panels of the seat, as well as the problem of poor appearance caused by the unsmooth connection between the inner and outer side panels.
[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0026] (1) In this application, the outer side panel is covered by the inner side panel, and the end of the inner side panel is connected to the end of the outer side panel. This avoids the problem that the surface of the junction between the outer side panel and the inner side panel is uneven, which would cause the user to cut their hand when touching the connection between the inner and outer side panels of the seat, as well as the problem that the inner and outer side panels do not fit together smoothly, resulting in poor appearance.
[0027] (2) The end plate of the inner side plate is connected to the plate body through the transition part, and the end of the end plate is connected to the outer side plate; the arc plate of the transition part makes the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate form a preset angle, which can make the two plates in different directions or positions achieve a smooth angle transition, making the overall structure more in line with specific spatial layout and design requirements.
[0028] It should be noted that the technical effects of the second implementation method can be found in the technical effects of the corresponding implementation method in the first aspect, and will not be repeated here.
[0029] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0036] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0037] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.
[0038] This application provides a vehicle. The specific type of vehicle is not specifically limited in this application; for example, the vehicle provided in this application can be an electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, a gasoline vehicle, or a solar-powered vehicle. It is understood that an electric vehicle is powered by an electric motor and also has a battery connected to the motor to supply power; a hybrid vehicle may include a gasoline engine and an electric motor, which can simultaneously or alternately power the vehicle; a gasoline vehicle includes a gasoline engine and a transmission, with the gasoline engine providing power to the vehicle through the transmission; and a solar-powered vehicle utilizes solar energy to generate electricity, which is then used to power the vehicle via an electric motor.
[0039] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment can also be a vehicle of different types. For example, the vehicle provided in this application embodiment can be a sedan, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), or a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), etc.
[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The vehicle in this application includes a body-in-white 10, wheels, and a suspension system. The wheels are connected to the body-in-white 10 via the suspension system. The body-in-white 10 is configured as a driver's cab and a passenger cabin. The driver is located in the driver's cab, and other occupants can be located in the passenger cabin.
[0041] In the above implementation, the vehicle also includes a seat 100, which can be installed in the driver's cab 12 and / or the passenger cabin 11. A reasonable arrangement of the seat 100's position on the body-in-white 10 can ensure optimal comfort.
[0042] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The seat 100 includes a seat frame 101, a seat cushion 102, and a backrest 103. Both the seat cushion 102 and the backrest 103 are mounted on the seat frame 101. For example, the seat cushion 102 and the backrest 103 can be connected to the seat frame 101 by bolts or snap-fit connections to secure them. The seat cushion 102 can be positioned approximately parallel to the horizontal plane, and the backrest 103 is erected at one end of the seat cushion 102. When the driver or passenger sits on the seat cushion 102, their back rests against the backrest 103 to ensure seating comfort.
[0043] In some embodiments, the seat frame 101 may include a seat cushion frame 104 and a backrest frame 105. The seat cushion frame is arranged generally parallel to a horizontal plane. A seat cushion 102 is mounted on the seat cushion frame 104, and the backrest frame 105 is disposed at one end of the seat cushion frame 104. A backrest 103 is mounted on the backrest frame 105. For example, the backrest frame 105 may be connected to the seat cushion frame 104 via a pitch adjustment mechanism, so that the backrest frame 105 can rotate relative to the seat cushion frame 104 to adjust the pitch angle of the backrest.
[0044] It is understood that the embodiments of this application do not limit the pitch adjustment mechanism. In some implementations, the pitch adjustment mechanism may include a mechanical adjustment device or an electric adjustment device. The mechanical adjustment device uses an angle adjuster as the core locking component, which, together with the pull cable, unlocking handle and linkage rod, forms a mechanical transmission chain. The pitch angle of the backrest is adjusted by unlocking. The electric adjustment device uses a motor drive to replace manual operation and achieves precise angle adjustment by controlling the movement of the push arm.
[0045] In the above implementation, the seat cushion frame 104 is connected to the body-in-white 10 to fix the seat cushion frame 104 to the body-in-white 10. For example, the seat cushion frame 104 can be connected to the body-in-white 10 via a lifting mechanism and a moving mechanism.
[0046] For example, the lifting mechanism includes a screw lifting mechanism or a motor-screw lifting mechanism. The screw lifting mechanism uses a screw and nut meshing transmission, and drives the entire seat to rise or fall by rotating a handle; this is commonly seen in manually adjustable seats. The motor-screw lifting mechanism uses a bidirectional motor to drive the screw to rotate, which in turn drives the lifting arm to achieve stroke control, and integrates an ECU (Electronic Control Unit).
[0047] The electronic control unit (ECU) receives sensor signals to complete precise adjustments. The moving mechanism includes a slide rail mechanism and an electric moving module. The slide rail is connected to the vehicle body, and the slide rail is slidably connected to the slide rail, with the sliding direction along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The electric moving module drives the slide rail to move synchronously through a motor-driven gear set, and supports a one-key memory reset function.
[0048] In some embodiments, the seat 100 further includes an outer side panel 200 and an inner side panel 300, which are disposed on the outer side of the seat cushion 102. It is understood that the inner side panel 300 and the outer side panel 200 are disposed on the outer side of the seat cushion 102, and are located on one side of the seat cushion 102 parallel to the horizontal plane and the width direction of the vehicle (vertical direction of travel). The outer side panel 200 is placed over the inner side panel 300. That is, the inner side panel 300 is located between the seat cushion 102 and the outer side panel 200. The length direction of the outer side panel 200 and the inner side panel 300 can be roughly parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle (driving direction). The outer side panel 200 and the inner side panel 300 are roughly perpendicular to the horizontal plane. That is, the outer side panel 200 and the inner side panel 300 are placed on the outside of the seat cushion. The outer side panel 200 and the inner side panel 300 cover the outside of the junction of the seat cushion 102 and the seat cushion frame 104 to improve the decorative effect of the seat.
[0049] In some embodiments, the inner side panel 300 is connected to the seat frame 101. For example, the inner side panel 300 can be connected to the seat cushion frame 104. For instance, the inner side panel 300 can be bolted or snapped to the seat cushion frame 104. This application does not limit this.
[0050] In the above implementation, the outer side panel 200 covers the inner side panel 300, and the end of the inner side panel 300 is connected to the end of the outer side panel 200.
[0051] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ,in Figure 3 for Figure 2 A cross-sectional view along the AA direction. In some examples, the edge of the inner side panel 300 bends away from the seat cushion 102, and the edge of the outer side panel 200 bends towards the seat cushion 102, so that the outer side panel 200 and the inner side panel 300 form a closed space. The end of the inner side panel 300 abuts the end of the outer side panel 200, which can be understood as the end face of the curved inner side panel 300 being close to or fitting against the end face of the curved outer side panel 200.
[0052] The control devices for adjusting height, movement, and pitch can be located on the outer side panel, for example, near the front edge of the seat, so that passengers or drivers can easily reach the control devices for adjusting height, movement, and pitch when they bend over, thus improving the user experience.
[0053] The seat provided in this embodiment has a seat cushion 102 and a backrest 103 both mounted on a seat frame 101, with the backrest 103 erected at one end of the seat cushion 102. An inner side panel 300 and an outer side panel 200 are located on the outer side of the seat cushion 102. The inner side panel 300 is connected to the seat frame 101, and the outer side panel 200 covers the inner side panel 300. The ends of the inner side panel 300 and the outer side panel 200 are aligned, reducing or eliminating surface unevenness between the outer edges of the inner and outer side panels 300 and 200, thereby improving the seat's decorative effect. Furthermore, reducing or eliminating surface unevenness between the inner and outer side panels 300 and 200 can prevent scratches to the user and improve the user experience.
[0054] In some implementations, the end of the inner side panel 300 and the outer edge of the end of the outer side panel 200 can be roughly flush to further enhance the decorative effect of the seat and also to further prevent scratches to the user.
[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and combined Figure 2 The inner side panel 300 includes a panel 301, a transition portion 302, and an end plate 303. The end plate 303 is connected to the panel 301 through the transition portion 302, and the end of the end plate 303 is connected to the outer side panel 200. The transition portion 302 includes an arc-shaped plate so that there is a preset included angle α between the outer surface of the end plate 303 and the outer surface of the outer side panel 200.
[0056] With the above configuration, the arc-shaped plate of the transition section 302 forms a preset angle α between the outer surface of the end plate 303 and the outer surface of the outer side plate 200, so that the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate 200 can be smoothly transitioned, thereby further improving the decorative effect.
[0057] It is understandable that by reasonably setting the curvature and size of the curved plate, the preset included angle can be reduced. This application embodiment does not limit the preset included angle; for example, the preset included angle α can be 0° to 15° (e.g., 0°, 10°, 15°, etc.). This setting can further reduce the included angle between the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate 200, improving the decorative effect.
[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and combined Figure 2 The portion of plate 301 near transition section 302 is arc-shaped. This configuration, along with the arc-shaped plate, further reduces the angle between the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate 200.
[0059] It is understood that the arc-shaped plate and the part of the plate 301 near the transition part 302 can correspond to a circular arc or to an arc with gradually changing curvature. This application embodiment does not limit this, so as to ensure that there is a small included angle between the outer surface of the end plate and the outer surface of the outer side plate 200.
[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The plate 301, the transition part 302 and the end plate 303 are an integral structure.
[0061] In the above implementation, the plate 301, the transition part 302, and the end plate 303 are formed into an integral structure by injection molding or stamping, which reduces connecting parts and gaps, making the structure of the plate 301 more stable. When subjected to pressure or external force, it can distribute the force more evenly, reducing the risk of deformation and cracking, thereby improving the safety of use. In addition, some assembly steps can be reduced during processing, improving production efficiency. At the same time, it is more convenient and quick to install, saving installation time and costs.
[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and combined Figure 2 The inner side panel 300 has a first rounded corner b1 at its end edge, and the outer side panel 200 has a second rounded corner b2 at its end edge.
[0063] In the above implementation, the first rounded corner b1 and the second rounded corner b2 can eliminate the sharp edges and corners at the ends of the inner side panel 300 and the outer side panel 200. During daily use, it can effectively avoid injuries such as scratches and bumps caused by accidental collisions or contact, and can provide better safety protection, especially for people who frequently come into contact with the product, such as operators or users.
[0064] At the same time, rounded corners make the product's lines smoother and softer, which is more aesthetically pleasing and approachable than sharp corners, enhancing the overall visual effect of the product and making it more attractive in appearance.
[0065] For example, in practical applications, the fillet parameters can be adjusted according to specific working conditions.
[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The inner side panel 300 and the outer side panel 200 are detachably connected.
[0067] In the above implementation, the inner side panel 300 of the seat is first installed on the seat frame 101. The inner side panel 300 is designed with a locking hole for engaging with the outer side panel 200. The locking rib of the outer side panel 200 is engaged in the locking hole of the inner side panel 300. The outer side panel 200 is also simultaneously installed and fixed to the seat frame 101. The outer side panel 200 covers the inner side panel 300. The inner side panel 300 and the outer side panel 200 are detachably connected. The end of the inner side panel 300 is connected to the end of the outer side panel 200. The detachable connection allows the inner side panel and the outer side panel to be flexibly combined and adjusted according to different usage scenarios or functional requirements, resulting in greater flexibility.
[0068] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and combined Figure 2 The inner side plate 300 has a first snap-fit plate 311 at its end and the outer side plate 200 has a second snap-fit plate 211 on its inner surface. The first snap-fit plate 311 and the second snap-fit plate 211 are perpendicular to each other. The second snap-fit plate 211 has a first slot 21. At least part of the first snap-fit plate 311 is snapped into the first slot 21.
[0069] In the above implementation, when the first snap-fit plate 311 snaps into the first snap-fit slot 21 of the second snap-fit plate 211, the relative movement of the inner side plate 300 and the outer side plate 200 is restricted in the direction, making the connection between the two more stable and reliable, and able to effectively withstand various external forces that may occur during use, and not easily loosening or falling off.
[0070] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The first card plate 211 is provided with a second card slot 31, and at least part of the second card plate 211 is locked in the second card slot 31. The first card slot 21 and the second card slot 31 are connected.
[0071] In the above implementation, the second snap-fit plate 211 is snapped into the second snap-fit slot 31, which enables a tight fit between the two and restricts their relative movement, making the connection between the first snap-fit plate 311 and the second snap-fit plate 211 more stable. It is not easy to loosen or fall off when subjected to external force, thus ensuring the stability of the structure.
[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The outer side panel 200 is also detachably connected to the seat frame 101.
[0073] In the above implementation, the detachable connection method facilitates modular production during the seat manufacturing process. Simultaneously, the detachable connection makes the production process more flexible. When adjustments or improvements to the seat design are needed, only the corresponding components require modification, without requiring large-scale adjustments to the entire production process.
[0074] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
