Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and relates to an integrated rear center headrest, seat and automobile. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive seat design, especially for economy cars and emerging markets, balancing component cost control and technological innovation has become crucial.

[0003] Reference patent CN212709060U discloses a widened passenger seat for a micro-truck, which aims to solve the problem of space utilization in a widened vehicle body. Although it successfully reduces the distance between the driver and passenger seats and improves aesthetics, the design of the headrest does not involve the integrated concept of an integral rear and middle headrest, and does not mention specific cost control strategies.

[0004] In addition, a headrest cup holder integrated armrest was proposed with reference to patent CN110065423A. It realizes the dual functions of cup holder and headrest through the design of "n"-shaped headrest rod and headrest metal tube, thereby reducing the cost of seat configuration. However, its design is mainly aimed at the front seats and has shortcomings in the consideration of the comfort and safety of rear passengers.

[0005] Most rear center headrests on the market are currently detachable, connected to the seat back via a plastic guide sleeve. While the headrest is adjustable vertically, raising it can obstruct the field of vision. This invention discloses an integrated rear center headrest formed from the upper part of the seat back, eliminating the need for a headrest guide sleeve and bracket for connecting the headrest to the seat back. The headrest height is not adjustable, simplifying the headrest structure, shortening the headrest rod length, reducing costs, and improving the field of vision. It also eliminates potential issues related to noise, connection strength, and operational effort during the connection between the headrest and seat back. Summary of the Invention
