Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more specifically, to a seat, a seat assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, the passenger compartment of a vehicle is equipped with seats for passengers to sit on. Currently, the function of these seats is relatively simple, making it inconvenient for users to temporarily place items such as neck pillows on them. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a seat that allows a user to temporarily place items, such as neck pillows, on themselves.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this disclosure provides a seat, including a seat body and a headrest connected to the seat body, wherein a magnetic structure is provided inside the headrest, and the magnetic structure is configured to attract external parts of the seat.

[0005] Through the above technical solution, the seat provided in this disclosure incorporates a magnetic structure on the headrest. This allows users to attach external components (i.e., items that can be attracted) to the headrest using the magnetic attraction of this structure. When the item is a neck pillow, the user can attach it to the headrest. This design facilitates the temporary placement of items, such as neck pillows, on the seat. Furthermore, the magnetic structure securely fixes items to the headrest, preventing them from shifting, and allows users to easily remove items from the headrest by overcoming the magnetic force. Moreover, compared to placing the magnetic structure on the outside of the headrest, this disclosure places it inside the headrest, preventing users from touching the magnetic structure when resting their heads on it, thus improving the user experience.

[0006] In some possible implementations, the headrest includes a housing, and the magnetic attraction structure is disposed within the housing and arranged on the inner wall surface of the housing. This ensures the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic attraction structure.

[0007] In some possible implementations, the housing includes a front wall panel and a bottom wall panel connected together, with the magnetic structure attached to the bottom wall panel. This allows the user to easily attach the neck pillow to the headrest and provides convenient neck support.

[0008] In some possible implementations, the headrest includes a mounting base with a slot, and the magnetic structure includes a first magnetic element disposed in the slot. This allows for the installation and fixation of the first magnetic element to the headrest.

[0009] In some possible implementations, the mounting base has a stop plate and a notch on the side of the opening away from the slot, and the side of the first magnetic member away from the opening is exposed in the notch and abuts against the stop plate. Thus, the stop plate prevents the first magnetic member from accidentally detaching from the slot, and the notch facilitates pushing the first magnetic member out of the slot during assembly or maintenance.

[0010] In some possible implementations, support ribs are provided on opposite sides of the card slot, and the support ribs abut against the first magnetic attractor. This allows the first magnetic attractor to be reliably positioned in the card slot.

[0011] In some possible implementations, the number of mounting bases is at least two, and the at least two mounting bases are arranged laterally spaced, with the first magnetic element disposed in each of the slots. This ensures reliable adhesion between the magnetic structure and the neck pillow.

[0012] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a seat assembly is provided, including a neck pillow and a seat as described above. The neck pillow includes a second magnetic member, which is magnetically connected to a first magnetic member of the magnetic structure. Thus, by utilizing the magnetic connection between the first and second magnetic members, the neck pillow can be attached to the headrest, simplifying the installation of the headrest and neck pillow, improving assembly efficiency, and reducing costs and the number of parts. Furthermore, it allows the user to easily attach the neck pillow and headrest together with one hand.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the second magnetic element is disposed on the top of the neck pillow, which is attached to the bottom wall panel of the housing. This facilitates attaching the neck pillow to the bottom of the headrest.

[0014] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle is provided, including a seat as described above or a seat assembly as described above.

[0015] Other features and advantages of this disclosure will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0024] In this disclosure, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are defined based on the direction of gravity of the seat or seat assembly, where "upper" corresponds to "top" and "lower" corresponds to "bottom." Lateral direction can be referred to as the left-right direction of the seat or vehicle; in the front-rear direction, the side with the front of the vehicle is considered "front," and the side with the rear of the vehicle is considered "rear." "Inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself. The terms "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. Furthermore, in the following description, when referring to accompanying drawings, the same reference numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements, which this disclosure will not repeat.

[0025] According to some embodiments of this disclosure, a seat is provided, with reference to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the seat includes a seat body 1 and a headrest 2 connected to the seat body 1. The headrest 2 is provided with a magnetic structure 3, which is configured to attract external parts of the seat.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, in the seat provided in this disclosure, by setting a magnetic structure 3 on the headrest 2, the user can use the magnetic function of the magnetic structure 3 to attach external parts of the seat (i.e., items that can be attracted) to the headrest 2. When the item that can be attracted is a neck pillow 4, the user can attach the neck pillow 4 to the headrest 2. Thus, the above arrangement facilitates the user to temporarily place items such as the neck pillow 4 on the seat. In addition, the magnetic structure 3 can fix the item more securely on the headrest 2, preventing the item from shaking, and the user can also overcome the attraction of the magnetic structure 3 to easily remove the item from the headrest 2. Furthermore, compared to arranging the magnetic structure 3 on the outside of the headrest 2, this disclosure arranges the magnetic structure 3 inside the headrest 2, which can prevent the user from touching the magnetic structure 3 when leaning against the headrest 2, thereby improving the user experience.

[0027] It should be noted that the external components of the seat (i.e., the items that can be attracted) can be a neck pillow 4, which may include magnets to attract itself to the headrest 2. Alternatively, the neck pillow 4 may be partially made of iron, cobalt, nickel, etc. This disclosure does not impose any limitations on this. Of course, the external components of the seat can also be fans, massage devices, etc., and this disclosure can be adapted to meet specific needs. In addition, the magnetic attraction structure 3 of this disclosure is designed to provide magnetic attraction for items that need to be installed on the seat, and the specific structure can also be adapted to meet specific needs.

[0028] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the headrest 2 may include a housing 21, and a magnetic structure 3 is disposed within the housing 21 and may be arranged on the inner wall surface 211 of the housing 21. Thus, compared to arranging the magnetic structure 3 near the geometric center of the housing 21, this disclosure arranges the magnetic structure 3 on the inner wall surface 211 of the housing 21. This allows the magnetic structure 3 to be located further away from the geometric center of the housing 21, thus placing it as close as possible to the outside of the housing 21 to ensure the magnetic attraction force of the magnetic structure 3 and avoid placing the magnetic structure 3 too far inward, which would result in insufficient magnetic attraction force. In some embodiments, the headrest 2 may include a flexible pad covering the housing 21 to improve the user experience; this disclosure does not limit this.

[0029] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 4As shown, the housing 21 includes a front wall panel 212 and a bottom wall panel 213 connected to each other, and the magnetic structure 3 can be connected to the bottom wall panel 213. Here, since the front wall panel 212 is suitable for the user to lean against, it is inconvenient to set the magnetic structure 3. The bottom wall panel 213 is arranged at the bottom of the front wall panel 212 and is relatively close to the user's neck. Therefore, arranging the magnetic structure 3 on the bottom wall panel 213 makes it convenient for the user to attach the neck pillow 4 to the headrest 2 and facilitates the neck pillow 4 to support the user's neck. Of course, in other embodiments, side wall panels 214 can be provided on both sides of the housing 21, and the magnetic structure 3 can also be arranged at the bottom of the side wall panel 214. In this way, the neck pillow 4 can be brought close to the side wall panel 214, for example, the neck pillow 4 can partially wrap around the side wall panel 214. Thus, the neck pillow 4 can also be arranged on the headrest 2. This disclosure does not impose too many limitations on this.

[0030] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the headrest 2 may include a mounting base 215, which has a slot 216. The magnetic structure 3 includes a first magnetic member 31, which can be disposed in the slot 216. In this way, by engaging the first magnetic member 31 in the slot 216, the first magnetic member 31 can be installed and fixed to the headrest 2.

[0031] In some embodiments, when the magnetic structure 3 is arranged on the bottom wall plate 213, the mounting base 215 can be connected to the bottom wall plate 213, and the mounting base 215 and the bottom wall plate 213 can form a slot 216.

[0032] In other embodiments, when the magnetic structure 3 is arranged on the side wall panel 214, the mounting base 215 can be connected to the side wall panel 214, and the mounting base 215 can form a slot 216 with the side wall panel 214.

[0033] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 215 may be provided with a stop plate 217 and a notch 218 on the side of the opening 2161 away from the slot 216. The side of the first magnetic member 31 away from the opening 2161 is exposed in the notch 218 and abuts against the stop plate 217. In this way, the stop plate 217 can prevent the first magnetic member 31 from accidentally disengaging from the slot 216, thereby ensuring the reliability of the first magnetic member 31. The notch 218 facilitates pushing the first magnetic member 31 out of the slot 216 during assembly or maintenance.

[0034] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, support ribs 219 can be provided on opposite sides of the slot 216, and the support ribs 219 abut against the first magnetic member 31. In this way, the provision of support ribs 219 can increase the friction between the mounting base 215 and the first magnetic member 31, ensuring that the first magnetic member 31 is reliably arranged in the slot 216. In some embodiments, the number of support ribs 219 on each side can be multiple, and this disclosure does not limit this.

[0035] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, there are at least two mounting bases 215, which are arranged laterally at intervals. Each slot 216 may be provided with a first magnetic element 31. Here, the mounting bases 215 are arranged on the bottom wall plate 213. The above arrangement allows at least two first magnetic elements 31 to be arranged laterally at intervals, thereby ensuring reliable adsorption between the magnetic structure 3 and the neck pillow 4.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member 31 can be constructed as a magnet, such as a permanent magnet, so that the first magnetic member 31 can maintain magnetic attraction. Of course, the first magnetic member 31 can be constructed as an electromagnet, so that the first magnetic member 31 can have magnetic attraction when needed. When it is not necessary to install items on the headrest 2, the first magnetic member 31 may not have magnetic attraction, thereby facilitating the flexible use of the magnetic structure 3.

[0037] According to a second aspect of this disclosure, a seat assembly is provided, with reference to Figure 1 As shown, the seat assembly includes a neck pillow 4 and a seat as described above. The neck pillow 4 may include a second magnetic member 5, which is magnetically connected to the first magnetic member 31 of the magnetic structure 3. Thus, by utilizing the magnetic connection between the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 5, the neck pillow 4 can be attached to the headrest 2, simplifying the installation of the headrest 2 and neck pillow 4, improving assembly efficiency, reducing costs, minimizing the number of parts, and allowing the user to easily attach the neck pillow 4 and headrest 2 together with one hand. In some embodiments, both the first magnetic member 31 and the second magnetic member 5 can be constructed as magnets, such as permanent magnets.

[0038] In some embodiments of this disclosure, reference is made to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the second magnetic member 5 can be disposed on the top of the neck pillow 4. The top of the neck pillow 4 is attached to the bottom wall plate 213 of the housing 21. The first magnetic member 31 can be disposed on the bottom wall plate 213. Thus, the above arrangement facilitates the attachment of the neck pillow 4 to the bottom of the headrest 2.

[0039] In some other embodiments of this disclosure, the housing 21 may include a side wall panel 214, on which a first magnetic attractant 31 may be provided, and a second magnetic attractant 5 may be provided on the part of the neck pillow 4 that is in contact with the side wall panel 214, thereby enabling the neck pillow 4 to be attracted to the headrest 2.

[0040] In some embodiments, a second magnetic element 5 may be pre-embedded in the neck pillow 4. For example, a recess may be provided in the neck pillow 4, and the second magnetic element 5 may be arranged in the recess. This disclosure does not limit this.

[0041] According to a third aspect of this disclosure, a vehicle is provided, including the seat or seat assembly described above. The vehicle has all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned seat or seat assembly, which will not be elaborated upon herein.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of this disclosure have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this disclosure is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of this disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure.

[0043] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this disclosure will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0044] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this disclosure can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this disclosure.
