Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of seating, specifically public seating. Background Technology
[0002] Public seating is a convenient facility providing rest areas in public places. It is generally designed as a single unit and arranged in rows. It is practical and easy to clean. Public seating is commonly found in residential areas, commercial areas, tourist areas, bank waiting areas, etc., and mainly includes benches, chairs, and modular seating. Its core functions cover activities such as rest, socializing, and reading, while its design also serves to divide space. Seating types are categorized by scenario, such as public benches, airport chairs, and auditorium chairs. The dimensions are designed based on ergonomics, with a standard single seat length of approximately 40-45 cm and a seat height of 38-40 cm. Historically, public seating was mainly made of wood and stone, but since the 20th century, composite materials such as metal and plastic have been gradually adopted. In recent years, many places in China have promoted facility upgrades: many cities have added solar-powered charging seats, 3D-printed art seats, and age-friendly wooden seats; some cities have also introduced seats with cultural elements, such as lemon-shaped seats and "Bird's Nest" landscape seats, as well as environmentally friendly seats made from recycled materials to reduce carbon emissions.
[0003] Currently, in addition to seats made of wood, stone, metal, plastic, and composite materials, there are also solar-powered seats and art-themed seats. While existing public seating offers various styles and incorporates different cultural elements, it still suffers from at least the following problems:
[0004] 1. In popular tourist attractions and parks with high traffic, there is often a shortage of public seats. One major reason is that the existing seats take up a lot of space. Since the human body has a certain width, the seats cannot be designed to be too narrow, otherwise it will cause two people in adjacent seats to be too crowded.
[0005] 2. Currently, many parks add artistic seats to their public seating areas. However, these seats are often more for show than practicality. Although they look artistic, they take up more space and are not very practical. They fail to achieve a balance between practicality and artistry.
[0006] 3. Once existing seats are produced or installed, their style cannot be flexibly adjusted according to the situation during use. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of existing public seating that does not take into account both aesthetics and practicality, and whose style cannot be adjusted after installation.

[0012] Connecting rods, of which there are at least three, are detachably connected to the seat plate;
[0013] The back plate, of which there are at least two, each of which is detachably connected to the connecting rod on both sides.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, the back panel is movably connected to the connecting rod.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the public seating of the present invention, a charging port is provided below the seat. A battery is also included, which can be installed on the base plate and is electrically connected to the charging port.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, there are three support rods, which are arranged in a straight line.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, there are three support rods, which are arranged in a triangular pattern.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, the seat plate has at least three connecting holes, and the connecting rod is detachably installed in the connecting holes.
[0019] As a preferred embodiment of the public seating of the present invention, a sealing cover is included, which is detachably connected to the connection hole.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, the side of the connecting rod has at least one groove; the two sides of the back panel have fixedly connected sliding rods, which are slidably installed in the grooves.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, among at least three connecting rods, the connecting rod in the middle position has grooves on both sides.
[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the public seat of the present invention, the back panel has an arc-shaped structure; the back panel and the seat panel are at least partially in a vertically non-overlapping position.
