Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application pertains to the field of vehicle parts, and more specifically, relates to a table structure, a seat assembly, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] In vehicle interior design, seats, as a key component directly affecting passenger comfort, are receiving increasing attention for their functionality. To meet the needs of rear passengers for reading, working, or storing items, modern vehicles typically feature retractable tables behind the seats. However, due to limitations in interior lighting, especially at night or in low-light conditions, passengers often face insufficient illumination when using these tables, affecting the convenience and comfort of writing, reading, or using electronic devices.

[0003] Currently, most common in-vehicle lighting solutions rely on fixed light sources in the ceiling or door panels. Because these light sources are installed relatively high, their angle and distance of illumination are insufficient to precisely cover the small tray table area behind the seats, resulting in inadequate lighting in that area and failing to meet practical needs. Furthermore, this type of lighting suffers from a wide illumination range and weak directionality, which can easily cause visual interference to the driver and other passengers, affecting the safety and comfort of the overall vehicle environment.

[0004] To improve local lighting, some designs attempt to install independent lighting fixtures on the seats and equip them with dedicated switches. However, this solution still has pain points: users usually only need lighting when the light inside the car is insufficient. In low-light environments, users find it difficult to quickly locate and accurately turn on the lighting switch. They often need to use external tools such as mobile phones or flashlights to find the button before they can turn on the lights, which is cumbersome and affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a table structure, seat assembly, and vehicle, which aims to solve the problem that the existing seat lighting fixtures need to be manually turned on, making it inconvenient for users to accurately locate and turn on the lighting fixtures in dark environments.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a tabletop structure, including: The table body is hinged to the seat. The table body has a folded state that fits against the seat and an operating state that rotates away from the seat and forms a set angle with the seat. A lighting assembly, disposed on the seat or tabletop body, the lighting assembly including a light source and a controller electrically connected to the light source; and The detection component includes an angle detector and a light detector, both of which are electrically or communicatively connected to the controller. When the angle detector and the light detector both reach the threshold, the controller controls the light source to turn on, and the light source projects light onto the table body.

[0007] The beneficial effect of the table structure provided in this application is that, compared with the prior art, when the table body rotates from a storage state that fits the seat to a working state that is away from the seat at a set angle, the angle detector generates a first opening signal when it detects that the table body has rotated to the preset angle; if the light detector simultaneously detects that the ambient illuminance has reached a threshold, it generates a second opening signal. The controller controls the light source to turn on according to the first and second opening signals, eliminating the need for the user to manually search for and operate the switch, and avoiding the energy waste caused by turning on the light source in a high-brightness environment.

[0008] This application addresses the issues of insufficient illumination and inaccurate coverage of the table area by traditional fixed light sources in the ceiling and door panels. It also avoids the operational pain points of individual switches being difficult to locate in dark environments and requiring external tools for activation, making lighting operation smarter and more efficient. Furthermore, the light source is directionally focused on the table's work area, effectively reducing visual interference to the driver and other passengers, thus ensuring overall vehicle safety. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting components with the table or seat requires minimal additional space, balancing structural simplicity and space utilization, and meeting the design requirements of vehicle interior functionality and practicality.

[0009] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the table structure further includes a brightness adjustment switch and a color temperature adjustment switch disposed on the seat. The brightness adjustment switch and the color temperature adjustment switch are electrically or communicatively connected to the controller, respectively. The brightness adjustment switch is used to adjust the illumination brightness of the light source, and the color temperature adjustment switch is used to adjust the color temperature of the light source.

[0010] In the above technical solution, after the tabletop is in operation and the light source is automatically turned on, the user can personalize the brightness and color temperature of the light source using the brightness and color temperature adjustment switches according to the actual usage scenario. This function significantly improves the adaptability of the lighting environment to different usage needs, enabling users to obtain a more comfortable lighting experience. At the same time, this solution combines automatic lighting with manual fine-tuning, further enhancing the product's user-friendly design and improving user comfort while ensuring ease of operation.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the light source is disposed on the seat, and when the tabletop body is in a retracted state, the tabletop body obscures the light source.

[0012] In the above technical solution, when the table is folded up, the light source is completely concealed, keeping the seat's appearance clean and uniform. This avoids visual obtrusion and potential pollution or scratch risks associated with the light source when not in use, thus improving the overall integrity and durability of the interior. When the table is unfolded for operation, the light source automatically appears and illuminates, providing lighting for specific areas.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the tabletop body includes: The support plate has a hinge groove; and The hinge includes a first hinge portion and a second hinge portion distributed at an angle. The first hinge portion is disposed in the hinge groove and hinged to the support plate, and the second hinge portion is hinged to the seat. In the working state, the first hinge portion is hidden in the hinge groove.

[0014] In the above technical solution, during operation, the first hinge is completely hidden within the hinge groove of the support plate, creating a flat, unprotruding working surface on the tabletop. This solution not only improves the visual neatness of the tabletop's usable area but also effectively avoids the risk of clothing snagging or items scratching due to exposed hinges, significantly enhancing safety. Furthermore, the concealed hinge structure optimizes the effective usable area and planar integrity of the tabletop when unfolded.

[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the tabletop body further includes a reinforcing member connected to the hinge, one end of which is connected to the hinge and hinged to the support plate, and the other end is hinged to the seat, the reinforcing member and the hinge forming a "Y" shaped structure.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the load borne by the tabletop is effectively distributed and transferred to the seat through a three-point hinge, significantly improving the structural rigidity and load-bearing capacity of the tabletop during operation. Even when the user is writing, reading, or placing heavy items, the tabletop remains stable without significant shaking or deformation, enhancing reliability and safety. Simultaneously, this solution also ensures the durability of the tabletop during long-term use, preventing problems such as breakage due to stress.

[0017] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a seat assembly, including the aforementioned table structure and a seat hinged to the table body.

[0018] The beneficial effect of the seat assembly provided in this application is that, compared with the prior art, when the table body rotates from a storage state that fits the seat to a working state that is away from the seat at a set angle, when the angle detector detects that the table body has rotated to the preset angle, a first opening signal is generated; if the light detector simultaneously detects that the ambient illuminance has reached a threshold, a second opening signal is generated. The controller controls the light source to turn on according to the first and second opening signals, eliminating the need for the user to manually search for and operate the switch, and avoiding the energy waste caused by turning on the light source in high-brightness environments.

[0019] This application addresses the issues of insufficient illumination and inaccurate coverage of the table area by traditional fixed light sources in the ceiling and door panels. It also avoids the operational pain points of individual switches being difficult to locate in dark environments and requiring external tools for activation, making lighting operation smarter and more efficient. Furthermore, the light source is directionally focused on the table's work area, effectively reducing visual interference to the driver and other passengers, thus ensuring overall vehicle safety. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting components with the table or seat requires minimal additional space, balancing structural simplicity and space utilization, and meeting the design requirements of vehicle interior functionality and practicality.

[0020] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the seat assembly further includes a buckle provided on the seat, and a slot is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the table body. In the folded state, the buckle is inserted into the slot, so that the table body maintains the folded state.

[0021] The above technical solution, on the one hand, avoids the table body from becoming loose, shaking or accidentally unfolding due to bumps during vehicle operation, thus ensuring safety during driving; on the other hand, the slots on the outer periphery of the table body avoid affecting the usable area of ​​the table body's working surface, and there is no need to set an additional locking structure on the outer surface of the table body, ensuring the flatness of the table body in the stored state and preventing the outward protrusion of the locking structure from causing injury to passengers in emergency situations.

[0022] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the seat is further provided with a limiting protrusion, and the table body is provided with a limiting groove adapted to the limiting protrusion. When the table body is in the stored state, the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the limiting protrusion is inserted into the limiting groove, limiting the table body in both the vertical and insertion directions. This prevents the table body from shaking due to vehicle vibration, reducing in-vehicle noise. Simultaneously, the insertion-based limiting method avoids the problem of the table body relying solely on the hinge structure for fixation, which can deform under stress due to the long-term weight of the table body. Furthermore, the limiting protrusion structure is simple, occupies little space, does not affect the table body's fit and appearance, and does not interfere with the rotational switching of the table from its stored state to its working state, thus balancing structural reliability and ease of use.

[0024] In conjunction with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the seat has a storage groove adapted to the table body. In the stored state, the table body is embedded in the storage groove, and the outer surface of the table body is flush with the seat.

[0025] In the aforementioned technical solution, when the tabletop is in its retracted state, its entire structure is completely embedded within the seat's storage slot, ensuring that the outer surface of the tabletop remains flush with the seat's contours. This design significantly enhances the overall integrity of the interior, avoiding the problem of the tabletop protruding and disrupting the smooth shape of the seat surface. Simultaneously, the embedded structure provides comprehensive restraint and protection for the tabletop when closed, effectively preventing damage from accidental bumps and further enhancing the stability and quietness of the tabletop system during vehicle operation.

[0026] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including the aforementioned seat assembly.

[0027] The beneficial effect of the vehicle provided in this application is that, compared with the prior art, it adopts the above-mentioned seat assembly. When the table body rotates from the storage state that fits the seat to the working state that is away from the seat to a set angle, the angle detector generates a first opening signal when it detects that the table body has rotated to the preset angle. If the light detector simultaneously detects that the ambient illuminance has reached the threshold, it generates a second opening signal. The controller controls the light source to turn on according to the first and second opening signals, eliminating the need for the user to manually search for and operate the switch, and avoiding the energy waste caused by turning on the light source in high-brightness environments.

[0028] This application addresses the issues of insufficient illumination and inaccurate coverage of the table area by traditional fixed light sources in the ceiling and door panels. It also avoids the operational pain points of individual switches being difficult to locate in dark environments and requiring external tools for activation, making lighting operation smarter and more efficient. Furthermore, the light source is directionally focused on the table's work area, effectively reducing visual interference to the driver and other passengers, thus ensuring overall vehicle safety. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting components with the table or seat requires minimal additional space, balancing structural simplicity and space utilization, and meeting the design requirements of vehicle interior functionality and practicality.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The table structure, seat assembly, and vehicle provided in this application are described below. The table structure includes a table body 1, a lighting assembly, and a detection assembly. The table body 1 is hinged to the seat 8 and has a stowed state that conforms to the seat 8, and an operating state that rotates away from the seat 8 and forms a set angle with the seat 8. The lighting assembly is located on the seat 8 or the table body 1 and includes a light source 2 and a controller electrically connected to the light source 2. The detection assembly includes an angle detector and a light detector 6, both of which are electrically or communicatively connected to the controller. When the angle detector and the light detector 6 simultaneously reach a threshold, the controller controls the light source 2 to turn on, and the light source 2 projects light onto the table body 1.

[0038] Compared with the prior art, the table structure provided in this application allows the table body 1 to rotate from a stowed state that fits against the seat 8 to a working state that is away from the seat 8 at a set angle. When the angle detector detects that the table body 1 has rotated to the preset angle, a first opening signal is generated. If the light detector 6 simultaneously detects that the ambient illuminance has reached a threshold, a second opening signal is generated. The controller controls the light source 2 to turn on according to the first and second opening signals, eliminating the need for the user to manually search for and operate the switch, and avoiding the energy waste caused by turning on the light source 2 in high-brightness environments.

[0039] This application addresses the problems of insufficient illumination and inaccurate coverage of the table area by traditional fixed light sources in the ceiling and door panels. It also avoids the operational pain points of individual switches being difficult to locate in dark environments and requiring external tools for activation, making lighting operation more intelligent and efficient. Furthermore, the light source 2 is directionally focused on the table work area, effectively reducing visual interference to the driver and other passengers and ensuring overall vehicle safety. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting components with the table body 1 or seat 8 requires minimal additional space, balancing structural simplicity and space utilization, and meeting the design requirements of vehicle interior functionality and practicality.

[0040] It's important to clarify that electrical connections refer to the physical conduction of circuits, used for transmitting electrical energy or basic electrical signals; examples include direct wire connections and connector mating, which require a physical circuit path. Communication connections, on the other hand, are essentially data-level information exchanges, used to transmit complex information such as commands and detection data. Examples include wired connections (CAN bus, LIN bus) and wireless connections (Bluetooth, WiFi), which do not require a direct power supply path and focus on signal protocol transmission.

[0041] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the table body 1 is hinged to the seat 8. The seat 8 is an environmental component, or it can be other structures that can provide support for the table body 1, such as the floor or ceiling of the vehicle. When the table body 1 is connected to the ceiling, the table body 1 is attached to the ceiling in the folded state. Therefore, the seat 8 is not a feature that limits the scope of protection of this embodiment.

[0042] Optionally, the angle detector is located at the connection between the table body 1 and the seat 8, and the light detector 6 is located at the seat 8 or the table body 1.

[0043] Optionally, the light detector 6 is a photosensitive sensor.

[0044] It should be noted that when the lighting component is installed on the table body 1, the lighting component is located on the working surface of the table body 1, that is, the side of the table body 1 that is in contact with the seat 8 when it is in the storage state.

[0045] Please see Figure 1In some embodiments, the table structure also includes a brightness adjustment switch 4 and a color temperature adjustment switch 3 disposed on the seat 8. The brightness adjustment switch 4 and the color temperature adjustment switch 3 are electrically or communicatively connected to the controller, respectively. The brightness adjustment switch 4 is used to adjust the illumination brightness of the light source 2, and the color temperature adjustment switch 3 is used to adjust the color temperature of the light source 2.

[0046] When the tabletop body 1 is in operation and the light source 2 is automatically turned on, the user can adjust the brightness and color temperature of the light source 2 according to their own needs by adjusting the brightness adjustment switch 4 and the color temperature adjustment switch 3, so that the lighting effect can better meet the needs of different usage scenarios.

[0047] This embodiment retains the intelligent convenience of automatically turning on the light source 2 under preset conditions, while also overcoming the limitation that a single lighting parameter cannot adapt to diverse needs through manual adjustment, thus balancing automation and personalization. Furthermore, the adjustment switch is integrated into the seat 8, with a fixed position and easy operation, avoiding the space occupation problem caused by adding complex structures, and further enhancing the functionality and practicality of the table structure.

[0048] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the light source 2 is disposed on the seat 8, and when the table body 1 is in the retracted state, the table body 1 blocks the light source 2.

[0049] When the table is in its stowed state, the table body 1 conceals the light source 2, keeping the seat 8 clean and preventing damage caused by the exposed light source 2 when not in use, thus improving the overall integrity and reliability of the interior design. When the table is unfolded to the working state and the lighting conditions are met, the concealed light source 2 becomes visible and automatically illuminates, ensuring that the light source 2 is visible in a specific area when needed. This allows for targeted lighting in specific environments, enhancing the directionality of the illumination and effectively preventing light interference with other occupants inside the vehicle.

[0050] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the table body 1 includes a support plate 104 and a hinge 103. The support plate 104 has a hinge groove 102. The hinge 103 includes a first hinge portion 1031 and a second hinge portion 1032 distributed at an angle. The first hinge portion 1031 is disposed in the hinge groove 102 and hinged to the support plate 104. The second hinge portion 1032 is hinged to the seat 8. In the working state, the first hinge portion 1031 is hidden in the hinge groove 102.

[0051] When the tabletop body 1 rotates from its stowed state, which is flush with the seat 8, to its working state via the hinge 103, the first hinge portion 1031 and the second hinge portion 1032, which are angled together, move smoothly together. The first hinge portion 1031 is completely hidden within the hinge groove 102 of the support plate 104, ensuring that there are no protruding parts on the working surface of the tabletop. This not only improves visual neatness but also avoids the risk of users' clothing or items being hooked by the exposed hinge portion 103 during use, thus enhancing safety. At the same time, the hidden design optimizes the effective usable area and planar integrity of the tabletop when it is unfolded, providing users with a flatter and more ample space for writing, placing electronic products, and other operations on the tabletop. In the stowed state, the first hinge portion 1031 rotates to the side flush with the seat 8 and is hidden within the hinge groove 102.

[0052] It should be noted that the first hinge portion 1031 is hidden inside the hinge groove 102 in both the storage state and the working state. However, in the storage state, the first surface of the first hinge portion 1031 is attached to the bottom of the hinge groove 102, and in the working state, the second surface of the first hinge portion 1031 is attached to the bottom of the hinge groove 102. The first surface and the second surface are two opposing surfaces of the first hinge portion 1031.

[0053] Optionally, multiple hinge members 103 are provided, and the multiple hinge members 103 are distributed at intervals along the vertical direction.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the table body 1 also includes a reinforcing member 105 connected to the hinge member 103. One end of the reinforcing member 105 is connected to the hinge member 103 and hinged to the support plate 104, and the other end is hinged to the seat 8. The reinforcing member 105 and the hinge member 103 form a "Y" shaped structure.

[0055] When the table body 1 rotates from the storage state to the working state, the reinforcement part 105 connected to the hinge 103 moves in sync. One end rotates with the support plate 104, and the other end remains hinged to the seat 8, ultimately forming a "Y"-shaped structure with triangular stable support, providing stable mechanical support for the support plate 104.

[0056] This solution addresses the limitations of traditional tabletops that rely solely on a single hinge structure for support, resulting in limited load-bearing capacity. Even when the support plate 104 bears heavy loads, it remains stable and does not wobble. Furthermore, the "Y"-shaped structure allows the tabletop body 1 to be stowed away, simultaneously fitting snugly against the seat 8 with the hinge 103, without taking up additional space. The linkage with the hinge 103 ensures a smooth transition between the stowed and working states. Simultaneously, the addition of the reinforcement 105, with its concealed layout that does not disrupt the hinge structure, balances structural strength with aesthetic neatness, further enhancing the reliability of the tabletop structure and improving user safety and comfort.

[0057] Optionally, the seat 8 has a slider that slides vertically, and the reinforcement 105 is hinged to the slider. When the table body 1 switches from the working state to the storage state, the reinforcement 105 rotates and simultaneously slides to the side away from the second hinge 1032.

[0058] Optionally, the first hinge portion 1031 has a slider that slides along its own extension path, and one end of the reinforcement 105 is connected to the slider. When the table body 1 switches from the working state to the storage state, the reinforcement 105 rotates and simultaneously slides towards the side closer to the hinge point between the first hinge portion 103 and the table body 1.

[0059] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a seat assembly. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vehicle includes the aforementioned table structure.

[0060] The vehicle provided by this utility model adopts the above-mentioned table structure. When the table body 1 rotates from the storage state that is close to the seat 8 to the working state that is away from the seat 8 to a set angle, when the angle detector detects that the table body 1 has rotated to the preset angle, a first opening signal is generated. If the light detector 6 simultaneously detects that the ambient illuminance has reached the threshold, a second opening signal is generated. The controller controls the light source 2 to turn on according to the first opening signal and the second opening signal, so that the user does not need to manually search for and operate the switch, and at the same time avoids the energy waste problem caused by turning on the light source 2 in a high-brightness environment.

[0061] This application addresses the problems of insufficient illumination and inaccurate coverage of the table area by traditional fixed light sources in the ceiling and door panels. It also avoids the operational pain points of individual switches being difficult to locate in dark environments and requiring external tools for activation, making lighting operation more intelligent and efficient. Furthermore, the light source 2 is directionally focused on the table work area, effectively reducing visual interference to the driver and other passengers and ensuring overall vehicle safety. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting components with the table body 1 or seat 8 requires minimal additional space, balancing structural simplicity and space utilization, and meeting the design requirements of vehicle interior functionality and practicality.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the seat assembly also includes a buckle 5 provided on the seat 8, and a slot 101 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the table body 1. In the storage state, the buckle 5 is inserted into the slot 101 to keep the table body 1 in the storage state.

[0063] When the table body 1 rotates from the working state to the storage state that fits the seat 8, the buckle 5 provided on the seat 8 is inserted into the slot 101 on the outer periphery of the table body 1, locking the table body 1 in the storage state and keeping the table body 1 in the storage state.

[0064] This embodiment, on the one hand, prevents the table body 1 from becoming loose, shaking, or accidentally unfolding due to bumps during vehicle operation, thus ensuring safety during driving; on the other hand, by opening a slot 101 on the outer periphery of the table body 1, the usable area of ​​the working surface of the table body 1 is not affected, and there is no need to set an additional locking structure on the outer surface of the table body 1, ensuring the flatness of the table body 1 in the stored state and preventing the outward protrusion of the locking structure from causing injury to passengers in emergency situations.

[0065] Please see Figures 1 to 2 ,and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the seat 8 is also provided with a limiting protrusion 7. When the table body 1 is in the storage state, the table body 1 has a limiting groove 106 adapted to the limiting protrusion 7, and the limiting protrusion 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 106.

[0066] In the stowed state, the limiting protrusion 7 is inserted into the limiting groove 106, limiting the table body 1 in both the vertical and insertion directions, preventing the table body 1 from shaking due to vehicle vibration and reducing interior noise. Simultaneously, the insertion-based limiting method avoids the problem of the table body 1 relying solely on the hinge structure for fixation, which would deform under stress due to the long-term weight of the table body 1. Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 7 has a simple structure, occupies little space, does not affect the stowed fit and appearance of the table body 1, and does not interfere with the rotational switching of the table from the stowed state to the working state, thus balancing structural reliability and ease of use.

[0067] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the seat 8 has a storage groove 801 adapted to the table body 1. In the storage state, the table body 1 is embedded in the storage groove 801, and the outer surface of the table body 1 is flush with the seat 8.

[0068] This embodiment avoids the problem of the table body 1 protruding from the surface of the seat 8 after being stored, preventing interference with passengers getting on and off the vehicle and their leg movements. It also avoids the risk of exposed structures being easily damaged by bumps and knocks, ensuring the normal use of the space around the seat 8. On the other hand, the embedded storage allows for a higher degree of fit between the table and the seat 8, effectively reducing shaking and abnormal noises during vehicle operation. At the same time, the flush outer surface makes the interior of the seat 8 more concise and unified, and the fitting design of the storage slot 801 does not affect the smoothness of the rotation and switching of the table body 1, taking into account the appearance, safety, and ease of operation.

[0069] It should be noted that the outer surface of the table body 1 refers to the side of the table body 1 that is away from the seat 8.

[0070] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes the aforementioned seat assembly.

[0071] The vehicle provided by this utility model adopts the aforementioned seat assembly. When the table body 1 rotates from a storage state that fits against the seat 8 to a working state that is away from the seat 8 at a set angle, a first opening signal is generated when the angle detector detects that the table body 1 has rotated to the preset angle. If the light detector 6 simultaneously detects that the ambient illuminance has reached a threshold, a second opening signal is generated. The controller controls the light source 2 to turn on according to the first and second opening signals, eliminating the need for the user to manually search for and operate the switch, and avoiding the energy waste caused by turning on the light source 2 in high-brightness environments.

[0072] This application addresses the problems of insufficient illumination and inaccurate coverage of the table area by traditional fixed light sources in the ceiling and door panels. It also avoids the operational pain points of individual switches being difficult to locate in dark environments and requiring external tools for activation, making lighting operation more intelligent and efficient. Furthermore, the light source 2 is directionally focused on the table work area, effectively reducing visual interference to the driver and other passengers and ensuring overall vehicle safety. In addition, the integrated design of the lighting components with the table body 1 or seat 8 requires minimal additional space, balancing structural simplicity and space utilization, and meeting the design requirements of vehicle interior functionality and practicality.
