Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to a horizontal dual-hardness seat foam structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most existing dual-hardness foams for seats employ a horizontal dual-hardness design, where the core uses one hardness and the side wings use another. This dual-hardness foaming method separates the hard and soft materials through a skin-tightening groove between the foam core and side wings, or by adding process separation grooves to the mold. However, this process is prone to problems during manufacturing, such as the hard foam in the side wings mixing with the soft foam in the core, or vice versa. This intermingling of hard and soft foams leads to low product yield, complex process adjustments, and high production costs. Therefore, this paper proposes a horizontal dual-hardness seat foam structure to address these issues. Utility Model Content
