[0035] This application provides a car seat with an embedded center headrest to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art: for rear seats of cars, the comfort of the middle passenger cannot be guaranteed without a center headrest; or the center headrest is set to protrude beyond the entire rear seat back, which greatly reduces the space utilization rate. The following description is in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a car seat with an embedded headrest, as described in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a car seat structure with an embedded headrest. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of another part of the structure of a car seat with an embedded headrest.

[0037] This application provides an embodiment of a car seat with an embedded center headrest 120, comprising a seat body, wherein the seat body includes a backrest assembly 100 and side headrests 110 and center headrests 120 disposed on the backrest assembly 100. Specifically, the backrest assembly 100 includes a backrest frame 103, a backrest foam 102, and a backrest cover 101. The backrest foam 102 covers the backrest frame 103, and the backrest cover 101 covers the outside of the backrest foam 102. The side headrests 110 are disposed on the backrest frame 103, and the center headrest 120 is height-adjustable disposed on the backrest frame 103. The center headrest 120 is located on one side of the side headrest 110. A receiving groove 105 adapted to the center headrest 120 is formed on the backrest foam 102. When the center headrest 120 is retracted to the lowest position, the center headrest 120 is embedded in the receiving groove 105, and the outer surface of the center headrest 120 is flush with the outer surface of the backrest foam 102.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the center headrest 120 is height-adjustable and mounted on the backrest frame 103, and a receiving groove 105 adapted to the center headrest 120 is formed on the backrest foam 102. When no one is sitting, the center headrest 120 can be retracted to its lowest position, so that the center headrest 120 is completely embedded in the receiving groove 105, which greatly improves the utilization rate of the rear space of the car. When someone is sitting, the center headrest 120 can be adjusted to a suitable position, ensuring the comfort of the passengers. The overall structure is simple and compact, taking into account both practicality and safety.

[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the seat body also includes an armrest 130, which is rotatably mounted on the backrest frame 103 via hinges or the like. The armrest 130 is located below the center headrest 120. When the armrest 130 is in a fully retracted state, the outer surface of the armrest 130 is flush with the outer surface of the center headrest 120. Thus, the armrest 130 and the center headrest 120 work together to form a smooth and continuous seat back, which helps to ensure the comfort of the rear seats.

[0040] Furthermore, in conjunction with reference Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the headrest and headrest cover provided in an embodiment of this application. In some embodiments, the headrest includes a pillow body 121, a guide rod 122, and a guide sleeve 123. The guide rod 122 is disposed at the bottom of the pillow body 121, and the guide sleeve 123 is disposed on the backrest frame 103. The guide rod 122 is slidably inserted through the guide sleeve 123. The seat body also includes a headrest cover 200, which is disposed on the backrest frame 103 and located below the middle headrest 120. The guide sleeve 123 passes through one side of the headrest cover 200 and is disposed on the backrest frame 103. The guide rod 122 is slidably inserted through the guide sleeve 123. When the middle headrest 120 is retracted to its lowest position, the middle headrest 120 covers the outside of the headrest cover 200.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the pillow body 121 has an arc-shaped plate structure with a predetermined thickness. The extension direction of its arc surface is adapted to the physiological curve of the human neck. The predetermined thickness can be selected and set according to specific design requirements, and the specific thickness of the pillow body 121 is not limited here. Two guide rods 122 can be provided, and the two guide rods 122 are arranged parallel to each other at the bottom of the pillow body 121. Correspondingly, two guide sleeves 123 can be provided, with one guide sleeve 123 corresponding to one guide rod 122. The guide rod 122 is inserted into the corresponding guide sleeve 123. The guide sleeve 123 can be a lockable guide sleeve 123 with locking function commonly used in the automotive seat field or a regular guide sleeve 123 without locking function. For example, of the two guide sleeves 123, one guide sleeve 123 can be a lockable guide sleeve 123, and the other guide sleeve 123 can be a regular guide sleeve 123 without locking function. When the headrest 120 is adjusted to a suitable position, the headrest 120 can be locked in a predetermined position by the lockable guide sleeve 123 to prevent the headrest 120 from shaking during use.

[0042] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side of the pillow body 121 closest to the backrest frame 103 has a concave arc surface, while the outer surface of the headrest cover 200 away from the backrest frame 103 has a convex arc surface. When the headrest 120 is retracted to its lowest position, the bottom of the pillow body 121 fits against the outer surface of the headrest cover 200. This helps to improve the structural strength of the seat back and also prevents the headrest 120 from sinking excessively.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the extension direction of the guide rod 122 intersects the surface of the backrest foam 102 at a predetermined angle. For example, the acute angle between the extension direction of the guide rod 122 and the surface of the backrest foam 102 is 15 degrees or more than 15 degrees and less than 30 degrees, so that the headrest 120 matches the natural leaning angle of the human head, making the headrest 120 ergonomic and ensuring riding comfort.

[0044] Furthermore, in conjunction with reference Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the headrest cover provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 for Figure 5 Side view of the headrest cover. Figure 7 for Figure 5Rear view of the headrest cover. In some embodiments, the headrest cover 200 includes a cover body 210 and a buckle 220. The cover body 210 is a hollow shell with an opening on one side. The cover body 210 is provided with a through hole 211 for the guide sleeve 123 and the guide rod 122 to pass through. The buckle 220 can be a metal elastic buckle. The buckle 220 is disposed inside the cover body 210. The backrest frame 103 includes a connecting plate 104. The connecting plate 104 is provided with a slot 106. The buckle 220 can be detachably inserted into the slot 106 to realize the detachable connection between the headrest cover 200 and the backrest frame 103. The installation is stable and easy to disassemble and maintain.

[0045] Specifically, multiple snap fasteners 220 can be provided and distributed at different positions on the cover 210. For example, the snap fasteners 220 include a first elastic snap 221 located in the middle of the cover 210 and a second elastic snap 222 located on one side of the first elastic snap 221. Similarly, multiple slots 106 can be provided, and the positions of the multiple slots 106 correspond to the positions of the multiple snap fasteners 220. This further improves the installation stability of the headrest cover 200.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate quick and easy installation of the headrest cover 200, the headrest cover 200 may also include a positioning post 230. Specifically, the positioning post 230 is disposed inside the cover body 210, and the connecting plate 104 is provided with a positioning groove 107. During assembly, the positioning post 230 is inserted into the corresponding positioning groove 107, which can quickly position the headrest cover 200 and also improve the stability of the installation.

[0047] In summary, this application provides a car seat with an embedded headrest 120. The headrest 120 is height-adjustable and mounted on the backrest frame 103. A receiving groove 105 adapted to the headrest 120 is formed on the backrest foam 102. When no one is sitting, the headrest 120 can be retracted to its lowest position, fitting snugly against the headrest cover 200. The headrest 120 is fully embedded in the receiving groove 105, maintaining the flatness and aesthetics of the seat back surface, and greatly improving the utilization of rear passenger space.
