Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle engineering technology, specifically to an installation structure for a seat belt reminder device and a car seat. Background Technology
[0002] The Safety Belt Reminder (SBR) is a device that reminds the driver and front passenger when they are not wearing seat belts. In existing technology, seat belt reminder devices are typically attached to the seat upholstery and seat foam (i.e., side A of the seat foam) using adhesive or tape. However, this adhesive method is prone to adhesive aging and peeling, affecting the lifespan of the device, and the increased amount of adhesive used results in a stronger adhesive odor in the interior. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides an installation structure for a seatbelt reminder device and a car seat to solve at least one problem existing in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0005] A mounting structure for a seatbelt reminder device is provided for a car seat, the car seat comprising a seat cushion foam layer, a ventilation layer, and a sponge layer; the mounting structure includes:
[0006] A snap-fit connector is disposed on the housing of the seatbelt reminder device;
[0007] A through-hole, the through-hole penetrating the ventilation layer and the sponge layer;
[0008] The slot is formed on the foam layer of the cushion, and the snap-fit component passes through the through hole and is snapped and fixed in the slot.
[0009] During installation, the seatbelt reminder device's claws pass through the holes in the ventilation layer and the foam layer, and then snap into the pre-drilled slots in the seat cushion foam layer. Through the claw structures at both ends of the seatbelt reminder device, it passes through the foam layer and the ventilation layer to achieve snap-fit fixation with the slots in the seat cushion foam layer. This ensures reliable fixation of the seatbelt reminder device and alleviates the odor problem caused by using glue or tape for bonding.
[0010] In some embodiments, the snap-fit connector includes:
[0011] A snap-fit arm, one end of which is mounted on the housing, and the snap-fit arm passes through the through hole;
[0012] The claw is installed at the other end of the clamping arm and is clamped and fixed in the clamping slot.
[0013] In some embodiments, the slot includes a stop, and the claw engages with the lower side of the stop.
[0014] In some embodiments, the jaws are double-sided jaws.
[0015] In some embodiments, the via is a pre-drilled hole in the ventilation layer and the sponge layer.
[0016] This utility model also provides a car seat, including a seat cushion foam layer, a ventilation layer and a sponge layer, and an installation structure for a seat belt reminder device disposed on the seat cushion foam layer, the ventilation layer and the sponge layer, wherein the installation structure is the installation structure described above.

[0021] Explanation of reference numerals in the attached figures:
[0022] 1. Seatbelt reminder device; 2. Sponge layer; 3. Ventilation layer; 4. Seat cushion foam layer. Detailed Implementation
[0023] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0024] In one specific implementation, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the installation structure of the seat belt reminder device 1 provided by this utility model is used for a car seat. The car seat includes a seat cushion foam layer 4, a ventilation layer 3, and a sponge layer 2. The installation structure includes a snap-fit component, a through hole, and a slot. The snap-fit component is disposed on the outer shell of the seat belt reminder device 1. The through hole passes through the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2. The slot is formed on the seat cushion foam layer 4. The snap-fit component passes through the through hole and is snapped and fixed in the slot.
[0025] During installation, the claws of the seat belt reminder device 1 pass through the holes opened in the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2, and then snap into the grooves reserved in the seat cushion foam layer 4. Through the claw structure at both ends of the seat belt reminder device 1, it passes through the sponge layer 2 and the ventilation layer 3 to achieve snap-fit fixation with the grooves on the seat cushion foam layer 4. This achieves reliable fixation of the seat belt reminder device 1 and alleviates the odor problem caused by using glue and tape for bonding.
[0026] The snap-fit component includes a snap-fit arm and a snap-fit claw. One end of the snap-fit arm is mounted on the housing and passes through the through hole. The snap-fit claw is mounted on the other end of the snap-fit arm and is snapped into the slot. As an intermediate component connecting the housing and the snap-fit claw, the snap-fit arm increases the overall length and stability of the snap-fit component, allowing the snap-fit claw to more accurately engage with the slot, improving the reliability of the installation structure, and reducing installation failures or insecure fixation due to component movement or positional deviations. The snap-fit arm design allows for a certain installation error; even with slight deviations in the position of the snap-fit claw and the slot, the elasticity or adjustability of the snap-fit arm allows the snap-fit claw to smoothly enter the slot and achieve a snap-fit fixation, reducing the requirements for installation precision, increasing the error tolerance of the installation, and further simplifying the installation process.
[0027] Theoretically, designing the locking arm and claw as an integrated structure, with a locking component with claws extending directly from the outer shell, reduces the number of parts and lowers production costs.
[0028] In some embodiments, the slot includes a stop, and the claw is engaged with the lower side of the stop, thereby enhancing the fixing firmness between the claw and the slot, effectively preventing the claw from sliding or loosening in the slot, and further improving the installation stability of the seat belt reminder device 1.
[0029] Furthermore, the claw can be a double-sided claw; the double-sided claw provides two independent locking points, which significantly improves the fixing strength compared to the single-sided claw, and can better withstand the tension and pressure from different directions, ensuring that the seat belt reminder device 1 can remain stable and fixed under various complex working conditions, effectively preventing the device from loosening or falling off due to external forces.
[0030] The aforementioned through holes are pre-drilled holes on the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2. By using pre-drilled through holes, additional processing or cutting operations on the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2 are avoided, thus maintaining the structural integrity of the ventilation layer 3 and the sponge layer 2. This will not damage the ventilation performance and comfort of the seat, and will ensure that the normal use function of the seat is not affected.
[0031] In addition to the above-mentioned mounting structure, this utility model also provides a car seat including the mounting structure. For the structure of other parts of the car seat, please refer to the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.
[0032] The above specific embodiments further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made on the basis of the technical solution of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
