[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, this utility model provides a heated seat with a shared power bank 10, comprising at least: a support frame 6, a seat cushion 7, a backrest 8, a heating layer, and a control component; the seat cushion 7 and the backrest 8 are both mounted on the support frame 6, and the heating layer is disposed inside the backrest 8. In some embodiments, the heating layer is also disposed inside the seat cushion 7 to heat different body parts. The control component is electrically connected to the heating layer; the control component is also used for communication with the shared power bank 10. When the shared power bank 10 is recognized by the control component, the shared power bank 10 is electrically connected to the heating layer to supply power to the heating layer, causing the heating layer to heat up. The seat cushion 7 and the backrest 8 can be a separate structure or an integrated connection. A storage bag 9 is provided on the side of the seat cushion 7. The storage bag 9 is used to store the power bank. Inside the storage bag 9, there is also a connecting cable. The connecting cable is used to establish an electrical connection with the shared power bank 10 and to perform the matching and identification function of the shared power bank 10. In actual use, you first need to obtain the reserved power bank from the charging cabinet of the shared power bank 10, including by scanning a code or inserting coins. Then, connect the shared power bank 10 to the connecting cable inside the storage bag 9 and store the power bank in the storage bag 9 on the side. This avoids the power bank having nowhere to be stored and also prevents the power bank from being placed on the seat cushion 7 and affecting the comfort of the seat.

[0027] In some embodiments, the storage bag 9 is fixed to the edge of the seat cushion 7. The storage bag 9 includes a storage portion 91 and a covering portion 92. An interconnected edge is provided between the top edge of the storage portion 91 and the covering portion 92. The covering portion 92 is rotatable around this edge between a first position and a second position. When the covering portion 92 is rotated to the first position, the opening at the top of the storage portion 91 is exposed; when the covering portion 92 is rotated to the second position, the top opening of the storage portion 91 is covered. The storage portion 91 is used to store the shared power bank 10, and the connector connected to the control component is also stored inside the storage portion 91. The connector can be stored in the storage portion 91 regardless of whether the shared power bank 10 is connected. The storage bag 9 can be made of waterproof fabric to provide protection for the power bank stored inside.

[0028] In some embodiments, the shared power bank 10 placed inside the storage bag 9 not only serves as a power source for the chair's heating layer, providing users with a warm and comfortable seating experience, but also simultaneously charges the user's mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.), thus achieving a multi-functional design. To meet the diverse needs of different users, the power bank is equipped with multiple output ports, such as USB-A, USB-C, and Lightning ports, which can be adapted to various common mobile phone models and smart devices on the market, avoiding user experience issues caused by interface incompatibility. Through this multi-port design, users can conveniently charge their own devices while renting a chair, increasing the power bank's usability and applicability, and further enhancing the overall functionality and user satisfaction of the shared seating.

[0029] In this embodiment, the control component specifically comprises a PCB circuit board and components soldered onto it. The control component can also output control signals according to a predetermined program and input control commands. The heating layer uses a method such as resistance wire heating. When the control component is successfully connected and matched with the shared power bank 10, it can use the electrical energy provided by the shared power bank 10 to control the heating layer, providing a warm and comfortable environment for the chair user. To prevent the heating layer from deforming or breaking due to prolonged stress, the heating layer needs to be placed on the inner wall of the seat cushion 7 and / or backrest 8. The seat cushion 7 and / or backrest 8 provide cushioning and protection for the heating layer, preventing excessive wear and damage.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the control components include: a voltage regulating unit 1, used to adjust the original output voltage of the shared power bank to a target voltage; a control unit 2, used to respond to a predetermined input signal and output a control signal accordingly; and an output response unit 3, used to respond to the control signal to control the heating layer to heat up or not heat up.

[0032] In this embodiment, VCC is the voltage terminal provided by the shared power bank, and the voltage regulator chip U3 is specifically a chip with the model number SE8233. The third pin of the voltage regulator chip U3 is the voltage input terminal, and the second pin of the buck chip is used to output a voltage of 3.3V. The 3.3V voltage is used to power other components.

[0033] In some embodiments, the control unit 2 includes: a control chip U1, a seventh resistor R7, and a control switch S1; the first pin of the control chip U1 is electrically connected to a 3.3V voltage terminal; the third pin of the control chip U1 is electrically connected to the output response unit 3; the fourth pin of the control chip U1 is grounded after passing through the seventh resistor R7 and the control switch S1 in sequence; and the eighth pin of the control chip U1 is grounded.

[0034] In this embodiment, the control chip is an MCU chip with model number NY8A051F. The control switch S1 is used to provide control signals to the control chip U1, including gear shifting, switching and other controls.

When MOSFET U2 is turned on, its source and drain are connected, and the heating layer is grounded, forming a circuit, allowing the heating layer to start working. When MOSFET U2 is turned off, the heating layer does not work. The gate of MOSFET U2 is connected to the control chip U1 via a first resistor, so that the turn-on or turn-off of MOSFET U2 can be controlled according to the output level of the control chip U1.

[0037] In some embodiments, the control component further includes: a sensing unit 4, which specifically includes: a sensing chip U4, an eighth resistor R8, a ninth resistor R9, a third capacitor C3, and a fourth capacitor C4; the first pin of the sensing chip U4 is electrically connected to the control unit 2 through the eighth resistor R8; the second pin of the sensing chip U4 is grounded; the third pin of the sensing chip U4 is grounded through the third capacitor C3; the third pin of the sensing chip U4 is also electrically connected to the touch signal input terminal through the ninth resistor R9; the fourth pin of the sensing chip U4 is connected to the regulated 3.3V voltage terminal; the fourth pin of the sensing chip U4 is also grounded through the fourth capacitor C4; and the fifth pin of the sensing chip U4 is electrically connected to the fourth pin of the sensing chip U4.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to save the power of the shared power bank and extend the usage time of the seat, a sensing unit 4 is also provided. The sensing unit 4 includes a sensing chip U4, which is model JL523W. The first pin of the sensing chip U4 is electrically connected to the second pin of the control chip U1 through the eighth resistor R8, and is used to output a sensing detection signal. The third pin of the sensing chip U4 is used to receive the detection signal. When people sit on the chair, the detection sensing device set on the chair can provide a detection signal to the sensing chip U4, so that the sensing chip U4 outputs the corresponding detection signal at the first pin. When the control chip U1 receives the detection signal, it can start to control the heating layer to heat up.

[0039] In some embodiments, the control component further includes an indicator light unit 5, the first end of which is connected to a 3.3V voltage terminal; the second end of the indicator light unit 5 is electrically connected to the control unit 2. The indicator light unit 5 includes at least: a first light-emitting diode D1, a second light-emitting diode D2, a third light-emitting diode D3, a fourth light-emitting diode D4, a third resistor R3, a fourth resistor R4, a fifth resistor R5, and a sixth resistor R6; the first light-emitting diode D1 is electrically connected to the 3.3V voltage terminal through the third resistor R3; the second light-emitting diode D2 is electrically connected to the 3.3V voltage terminal through the fourth resistor R4; the third light-emitting diode D3 is electrically connected to the 3.3V voltage terminal through the fifth resistor R5; the fourth light-emitting diode D4 is electrically connected to the 3.3V voltage terminal through the sixth resistor R6; the cathodes of the first light-emitting diode D1, the second light-emitting diode D2, the third light-emitting diode D3, and the fourth light-emitting diode D4 are all electrically connected to the control unit 2.

[0040] In this embodiment, the cathodes of the first LED D1 and the second LED D2 are connected to pin 7 of the control chip. The first LED is used to illuminate the brand logo, and the second LED D2 is used for the first heating level display. Connecting the cathodes of the first and second LEDs to pin 7 of the control chip improves pin reuse and reduces circuit design complexity. The cathode of the third LED D3 is connected to pin 6 of the control chip U1, corresponding to the second heating level display. The cathode of the fourth LED D4 is connected to pin 5 of the control chip U1, corresponding to the third heating level display. As the heating layer is controlled at different heating levels, the heating power and heating temperature of the heating layer gradually increase.

[0041] This invention utilizes a shared power bank as a power source, combined with a voltage regulation unit, MCU control unit, MOS transistor output unit, sensing unit, and indicator light unit to form a complete control and power supply system, realizing intelligent heating of shared seats in public environments.
