Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application relates to the field of back cushions for automobile seats, and in particular to ventilated back cushions for automobile seats. [Background technology]

[0002] Automobiles are common and widely used vehicles in today's world. With the development of the times and the improvement of people's daily living standards, the demands for driving comfort in automobiles are increasing. Not only are there demands for automobiles with high maneuverability, but also for better comfort.

[0003] However, during the automobile manufacturing process, it is necessary to adjust the vehicle to suit the usage environment of each vehicle model. When the adjustment is made in favor of comfort, the vehicle's maneuverability is partially sacrificed. The same is true in reverse, especially in the adjustment of SUVs and off-road vehicles, where the sacrifice of comfort is relatively large.

[0004] Since the seat of a car is the main aspect that is the source of comfort for the passengers, there are many seat cushions and back cushions for car seats. As for the back cushion, it is often seen in daily life as a breathable back cushion. In hot summer, the driver is easy to sweat in the car, especially on the back, which greatly affects the comfort. This breathable back cushion can increase the breathability to a certain extent and improve the comfort of the driver. For example, the ventilated back cushion for car seats with the Chinese utility model registration number CN203211145U is provided with a back cushion cover, a plug with a speed control, a back cushion body and a back cushion front plate are installed in the back cushion cover, a fan mounting chamber is installed on both sides of the front lower end of the back cushion body, a turbo fan is installed in the fan mounting chamber, an outlet duct is installed around the fan mounting chamber, a back cushion front plate is installed at the front end of the back cushion body, and at the same time, an air outlet is installed at the position corresponding to the outlet duct in the back cushion front plate.

[0005] Regarding the above related technologies, the inventor believes that although the ventilable back cushion can play a role in ventilation, there is still a problem that the ventilation effect is poor when riding for a long time, and the main reason is that the back cushion is subjected to backward pressure while driving, and the back cushion may shift due to the swaying of the vehicle or the occupant adjusting his / her sitting position, or the driver may lean back for a long time, so that the position of the fan is too close to the seat or the back of the driver's body, reducing the amount of airflow or obstructing the airflow, making the fan more likely to break. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] In order to solve the problems in the above-mentioned related art where the fan is positioned too close to the seat or the back of the driver's body due to the driver leaning back for a long time, the amount of airflow is reduced, or the fan is easily damaged due to the obstruction of the airflow, the present application provides a ventilable back cushion for an automobile seat. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The ventilated back cushion for car seats according to the present application adopts the following technical measures.

[0008] A ventilable back cushion for an automobile seat comprises a back cushion body, a plurality of air vents provided in the back cushion body, a fan mounting site provided within the area where the air vents are provided on the rear surface of the back cushion body, the back cushion body having an edge portion, and an upper body portion, a middle body portion and a lower body portion provided in sequence from top to bottom, the upper body portion, the middle body portion and the lower body portion all being located within the area surrounded by the edge portion, at least one support protrusion is provided on the rear surface of the lower body portion, and the fan mounting site is located at the rear of the middle body portion and is adjacent to the lower body portion.

[0009] Optionally, both the upper and lower portions of the main body are inclined toward the middle portion and toward the front of the back cushion body, and the middle portion of the main body is curved from both upper and lower ends toward the middle portion and toward the front of the back cushion body.

[0010] Optionally, the upper, middle and lower body portions each have an arc-shaped transition surface extending from the center to the left and right sides.

[0011] Optionally, the left and right edges of the center of the body are bent forward of the back cushion body to form arcuate support edges.

[0012] Optionally, the front faces of the edge portions are all higher than the front faces of the upper, middle and lower parts of the main body, and transition segments are provided at positions on both the left and right sides of the lower part of the main body of the edge portions, and the front faces of the transition segments are inclined toward the rear of the back cushion body so that the front faces of the transition segments are connected to the front faces of the lower part of the main body.

[0013] Optionally, a plurality of guide grooves are provided vertically on the front surface of the back cushion body, each of which extends from the lower portion and / or the lower portion of the middle portion of the body to the upper portion and / or the upper edge of the middle portion of the body.

[0014] Optionally, positions corresponding to each guide groove on the rear surface of the back cushion body protrude toward the rear of the back cushion body to form reinforcing ribs, each of which is installed extending from a lower position of the lower part and / or middle part of the body to an upper position of the upper part and / or middle part of the body, and one end of the reinforcing rib located on the upper side of the upper part and / or middle part of the body is not connected to the edge, and a fan mounting portion is installed on the reinforcing rib on the lower side of the middle part of the body.

[0015] Optionally, a groove is provided at a position corresponding to the support protrusion on the front surface of the lower portion of the main body.

[0016] Optionally, an elastic support is connected to the lower end of the back cushion body, the elastic support being installed with an inclination downward toward the rear side, and the elastic support and the lower end of the back cushion body are connected by an arc-shaped transition connector.

[0017] Optionally, the left and right edges of the elastic support are inclined and gradually contract toward the center in the rear direction. Effect of the Invention

[0018] As described above, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects. 1. By installing the support protrusion, a large ventilation space is formed between the back of the back cushion and the chair, and the ventilation space can ensure sufficient ventilation even without installing a fan, and the convection effect of the air passing through the ventilation hole is stronger, especially when the passenger leans back and presses the back cushion. And by installing the fan installation part at a position close to the support protrusion, the position of the fan is not too close to the chair or the back of the passenger's body even when the passenger leans back, so the problems of reduced airflow and obstruction of airflow are greatly improved, and the ventilation effect is stronger, more noticeable and better. 2. The inclined structure and the arc-shaped transition surface at the upper, middle and lower parts of the main body can firmly support the passenger's waist and back during use, and can better improve the volume and airflow. 3. The support edge can improve the riding comfort of the passengers. Whether driving or resting in the car, it can provide a certain support effect to both sides of the passenger's waist. 4. By installing the guide groove, the air can be diffused to the edge after being blocked, effectively improving the ventilation effect, and does not affect the volume of airflow or the air volume. 5. The reinforcing ribs effectively increase the support strength, and prevent the back cushion from being significantly deformed when leaning back for a long time. This largely ensures the normal operation of the fan and prevents the fan from being damaged by pressure to a certain extent. 6. By installing a concave groove at the position corresponding to the support protrusion on the front of the bottom of the body, the air can be better diffused to the edge after being obstructed, and the ventilation effect is effectively improved. 7. By installing the elastic support, the problem of the back cushion displacement caused by adjusting the sitting position during leaning back for a long time can be avoided. The elastic support also helps to reduce the problem of the fan position being compressed by the force of leaning back, greatly improving the reliability of the use of the back cushion.

[Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a rear structure according to an embodiment of the present application. [Diagram 3] FIG. 2 is a local enlarged schematic view of part A in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

[0021] The embodiment of the present application discloses a ventilated back cushion for a car seat. Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. A plurality of vents 1 are provided on the back cushion body, and a fan mounting portion 2 is provided in the area where the vents 1 are located on the back of the back cushion body. The back cushion body includes an edge portion 3 and an upper portion, a middle portion, and a lower portion, which are sequentially provided from top to bottom, and the edge portion 3 is surrounded as an area whose lower side is open, and the upper portion, the middle portion, and the lower portion are all located within the area surrounded by the edge portion 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, the edges 3 located on both the left and right sides of the middle part of the body are bent forward of the back cushion body to form an arc-shaped support edge 4. Please refer to FIG. 3. The front of the edges 3 is higher than the front of the upper, middle and lower parts of the body, so that a stepped structure is formed between the edges 3 and the upper, middle and lower parts of the body, thus improving the ventilation effect and making the air flow smoother. In addition, the transition segments 5 are installed at the positions located on both the left and right sides of the lower part of the body of the edges 3, and the front of the transition segment 5 is installed at an incline toward the rear of the back cushion body so that the front of the transition segment 5 is connected to the front of the lower part of the body. By designing in this way, the left edge 3 of the lower part of the body can avoid pressing the buttocks of the passenger for a long time when driving, and can improve the comfort of the passenger.

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. At least one support protrusion 6 is installed on the back of the lower part of the body, forming a large ventilation space between the back of the back cushion and the chair, which can ensure sufficient ventilation without installing a fan, and the convection effect of air through the vent hole is stronger, especially when the passenger leans back and presses the back cushion. A groove 7 is installed on the front of the lower part of the body and at a position corresponding to the support protrusion 6. In this embodiment, two support protrusions 6 are installed at intervals, and a groove 7 is provided on the front of the lower part of the body and at a position corresponding to the support protrusion 6, so that the air can be better diffused to the edge 3 after being obstructed, and the ventilation effect is effectively improved. And the groove 7 can improve the ventilation effect, while at the same time reducing the manufacturing cost to a certain extent, and the manufacturing material can be more saved.

[0024] The fan mounting portion 2 is located at the rear of the middle part of the main body and is close to the lower part of the main body. In this embodiment, the fan mounting portion 2 is located above the support protrusion 6, so that the fan can be brought close to the support protrusion 6 after being mounted in this way, and by providing the fan mounting portion 2 at a position close to the support protrusion 6, the fan is not too close to the chair or the back of the occupant's body even when the occupant is leaning back in this way, and the problems of reduced airflow and obstruction of airflow are greatly improved. After the fan is mounted at the fan mounting portion, the ventilation effect is stronger, more noticeable and better.

[0025] In order to improve the riding comfort, the upper and lower parts of the body are inclined toward the middle part and toward the front of the back cushion body, and the middle part is curved from both upper and lower ends toward the middle part and toward the front of the back cushion body. At the same time, the upper, middle and lower parts of the body are provided with arc-shaped transition surfaces from the center to both the left and right sides. This design allows the seat to fit snugly against the passenger's waist and back during boarding, and plays a good role in firmly supporting the waist and back.

[0026] Please refer to Fig. 1. A plurality of guide grooves 8 are provided in the vertical direction on the front surface of the back cushion body, and each of the guide grooves 8 extends from a lower position of the lower part of the body and / or a lower position of the middle part of the body to an upper edge 3 of the upper part of the middle part of the body. In this embodiment, the guide grooves 8 extend from a lower position of the middle part of the body to an upper edge 3 of the upper part of the body and the middle part of the body. The guide grooves 8 extend to the edge 3 and are connected to the edge 3.

[0027] At the same time, please refer to FIG. 2. The positions corresponding to the guide grooves 8 on the rear surface of the back cushion body protrude toward the rear of the back cushion body to form reinforcing ribs 9, and each reinforcing rib 9 is installed extending from the lower part or / and the lower part of the middle part of the body to the upper part or / and the upper part of the middle part of the body. In this embodiment, each reinforcing rib 9 is installed extending from the lower part of the middle part of the body to the upper part of the middle part of the body. And, one end of the reinforcing rib 9 located at the upper part of the upper part of the middle part of the body is not connected to the edge part 3. The fan mounting portion 2 is installed on the reinforcing rib 9 on the lower part of the middle part of the body, and in this embodiment, two positioning posts are installed at an interval between two adjacent reinforcing ribs 9 located in the center, and the fan is mounted and fixed by the positioning posts on the two reinforcing ribs 9.

[0028] In order to ensure that the back cushion is not easily displaced due to adjustment of the sitting posture, an elastic support 10 is connected to the lower end of the back cushion body, which is installed with an inclination downward toward the rear side, and the elastic support 10 and the lower end of the back cushion body are connected through an arc-shaped transition connector 11. In this embodiment, the left and right edges of the elastic support 10 are installed with an inclination that gradually shrinks toward the center toward the rear side. In this way, not only can the elastic support be inserted well into the gap of the car seat, but also the elastic support performance of the transition connector 11 and the area of ​​the elastic support 10 located near the transition connector 11 is not changed, and material waste is effectively reduced and costs are saved.

[0029] The above is the best embodiment of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby, so that all equivalent modifications made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
