Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat side cover technology, and in particular to a connecting device for automotive seat side cover with a buffer function. Background Technology
[0002] During vehicle operation, the side panels of the seats may be subjected to side impacts or collisions. Existing automotive seat side panel connection devices typically have relatively simple cushioning structures. When subjected to impact, the force can easily be directly transmitted to the seat frame, which not only reduces riding comfort but may also affect passenger safety. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automotive seat side panel connection device that can effectively cushion impacts. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a car seat side cover connecting device with a buffer function, which aims to solve the problem of poor buffering effect of existing car seat side covers.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a car seat side cover plate connecting device with buffer function, including a side cover plate body, a first buffer device and a second buffer device installed on the inner side of the side cover plate body, the first buffer device including an elastic support member, the elastic support member being connected to the inner surface of the side cover plate body; the second buffer device including a mounting base, the mounting base being fixedly disposed on the inner surface of the side cover plate body, a buffer chamber being opened inside the mounting base, a buffer block being slidably connected to the buffer chamber, an energy-absorbing component being provided between the buffer block and the mounting base, one end of the energy-absorbing component being fixedly connected to the buffer block, and the other end of the energy-absorbing component being fixedly connected to the mounting base.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model: a sliding groove is provided on the top of the mounting base, and the buffer block includes a buffer portion and a limiting portion. The sliding groove is slidably connected to the buffer portion, and the limiting portion is located at the end of the buffer block near the mounting base. The diameter of the limiting portion is larger than the inner diameter of the sliding groove. The sliding groove on the mounting base facilitates the sliding of the buffer block within the groove. The limiting portion at the end of the buffer block near the mounting base, with a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the sliding groove, prevents the buffer block from detaching from the mounting base, thus improving the connection stability between the buffer block and the mounting base.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the buffer part is made of elastic material.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: the energy-absorbing component is a corrugated pipe. By using a corrugated pipe for the energy-absorbing component, a good energy absorption effect is achieved.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the elastic support member is detachably connected to the inner surface of the side cover plate body.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the inner surface of the side cover plate body is provided with a connecting block, the elastic support member is provided with an installation part and an elastic part, the installation part and the elastic part are perpendicular to each other, the installation part is provided with an installation groove, and the installation groove cooperates with the connecting block.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the connecting block includes a connecting part and a snap-fit part. One end of the connecting part is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the side cover plate body, and the other end of the connecting part is connected to the snap-fit part. The length of the connecting part is equal to the depth of the mounting groove. The width of the snap-fit part is greater than the diameter of the mounting groove.
[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the elastic part of the elastic support is made of elastic rubber. Because the elastic part is made of elastic rubber, it has good elastic deformation capability.
[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model: the connecting block has a deformation groove along the axial direction. By having a deformation groove along the axial direction, the smoothness of radial expansion and contraction of the connecting part and the locking part can be improved.
[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: a plurality of left reinforcing blocks are provided at intervals on the left inner wall of the side cover plate body, and left reinforcing ribs are connected between the left reinforcing blocks.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: multiple right reinforcing blocks are spaced apart on the inner right side wall of the side cover plate body, and right reinforcing ribs connect the right reinforcing blocks. By setting left and right reinforcing blocks on the left and right inner walls of the side cover plate body and connecting them with left and right reinforcing ribs, the load can be evenly distributed, improving the overall structural strength of the side cover plate body and enhancing its impact resistance.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model incorporates a first buffer device and a second buffer device. When the side cover plate is impacted, the impact force is transmitted through the side cover plate to the first and second buffer devices. The elastic support of the first buffer device first undergoes elastic deformation to absorb some energy. As the impact force increases, the energy-absorbing component of the second buffer device undergoes plastic deformation to further absorb energy. Through the synergistic effect of the elastic support and the energy-absorbing component, multi-level buffering is achieved, effectively reducing the impact force transmitted to the seat frame and improving safety and comfort.
[0017] 2. The side cover plate body of this utility model can be detachably connected by the connecting block and the mounting groove of the elastic support. No additional tools are required during installation. It can be quickly assembled by inserting the connecting block into the mounting groove. The detachable connection design facilitates later maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance costs.
[0018] 3. This utility model features a snap-fit part, the width of which is greater than the diameter of the mounting slot. This design allows the snap-fit part to elastically lock onto the mounting part of the elastic support member in its natural state, preventing loosening and detachment, ensuring connection stability, and preventing the mounting slot of the elastic support member from easily disengaging from the connecting block. Through the cooperation of the snap-fit part, the connecting part, and the mounting slot, convenient installation and disassembly of the elastic support member are achieved, while simultaneously improving the connection stability between the elastic support member and the side cover plate body.

The first cushioning device 2 includes an elastic support member 4, which is connected to the inner surface of the side cover body 1. The second cushioning device 3 includes a mounting base 5, which is fixedly disposed on the inner surface of the side cover body 1. A cushioning chamber 6 is opened inside the mounting base 5.

One end of the energy-absorbing component 8 is fixedly connected to the cushioning block 7, and the other end of the energy-absorbing component 8 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 5.
[0030] With the first buffer device 2 and the second buffer device 3 in place, when the side cover body 1 is impacted, the impact force is transmitted through the side cover body 1 to the first buffer device 2 and the second buffer device 3. The elastic support member 4 of the first buffer device 2 first undergoes elastic deformation to absorb some energy; as the impact force increases, the energy-absorbing component 8 of the second buffer device 3 undergoes plastic deformation to further absorb energy. Through the synergistic effect of the elastic support member 4 and the energy-absorbing component 8, multi-level buffering is achieved, effectively reducing the impact force transmitted to the seat frame and improving safety and comfort.
[0031] In some embodiments, the top of the mounting base 5 is provided with a sliding groove, the buffer block 7 includes a buffer part 13 and a limiting part 14, the sliding groove is slidably connected to the buffer part 13, the limiting part 14 is located at one end of the buffer block 7 near the mounting base 5, and the diameter of the limiting part 14 is larger than the inner diameter of the sliding groove.

This prevents the buffer block 7 from detaching from the mounting base 5 and improves the connection stability between the buffer block 7 and the mounting base 5.
[0033] In some embodiments, the buffer portion 13 is made of an elastic material.
[0034] In some embodiments, the energy-absorbing component 8 is a bellows.
[0035] The energy-absorbing component 8 uses a corrugated pipe, which has a good energy absorption effect.

[0038] The side cover body 1 is detachably connected by the connecting block 15 and the mounting slot of the elastic support 4. No additional tools are required during installation. The connecting block 15 can be quickly assembled by snapping it into the mounting slot. The detachable connection design facilitates later maintenance and replacement, reducing maintenance costs. At the same time, the detachable connection design can be adapted to elastic support components of different specifications, improving product compatibility.

The length of the connecting portion 18 is equal to the depth of the mounting groove. The width of the snap-fit portion 19 is greater than the diameter of the mounting groove.
[0040] During installation, inserting the connecting block 15 into the mounting slot completes the installation of the elastic support 4 and the side cover plate body 1, significantly improving installation efficiency. The design of the locking part 19 having a width greater than the mounting slot diameter allows the locking part 19 to elastically lock the mounting part 16 of the elastic support 4 in a natural state, preventing loosening and falling off, ensuring connection stability, and the mounting slot of the elastic support 4 cannot be easily removed from the connecting block 15.
[0041] By engaging the snap-fit part 19, the connecting part 18, and the mounting groove, the elastic support 4 can be easily installed and disassembled, while improving the connection stability between the elastic support 4 and the side cover plate body 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, a plurality of left reinforcing blocks 9 are spaced apart on the left inner wall of the side cover plate body 1, and left reinforcing ribs 10 are connected between the left reinforcing blocks 9.
[0046] In some embodiments, a plurality of right reinforcing blocks 11 are spaced apart on the inner right side wall of the side cover plate body 1, and right reinforcing ribs 12 are connected between the right reinforcing blocks 11.
[0047] By setting left reinforcing blocks 9 and right reinforcing blocks 11 on the left and right inner walls of the side cover plate body 1, and connecting them with left reinforcing ribs 10 and right reinforcing ribs 12, the load can be evenly distributed, improving the overall structural strength of the side cover plate body 1, enhancing its impact resistance, preventing the side cover plate from deforming due to impact, ensuring the normal operation of the first buffer device 2 and the second buffer device 3, and extending its service life.

When the side cover plate is impacted, the impact force is transmitted through the side cover plate to the first and second buffer devices. The elastic support of the first buffer device first undergoes elastic deformation, absorbing some energy. As the impact force increases, the energy-absorbing component of the second buffer device undergoes plastic deformation, further absorbing energy. Through the synergistic effect of the elastic support and the energy-absorbing component, multi-level buffering is achieved, effectively reducing the impact force transmitted to the seat frame and improving safety and comfort.
