Description

A leg rest ventilation mechanism, a seat leg rest ventilation device, and a car seat

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent applications filed on July 23, 2024, with application number 2024217545103 entitled "A Leg Support Ventilation Mechanism" and application number 2024217500615 entitled "A Seat Leg Support Ventilation Device and Automobile Seat", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of automotive seat technology, and in particular to a leg rest ventilation mechanism, a seat leg rest ventilation device, and an automotive seat. Background Technology

[0004] With the continuous development of automotive technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the comfort of vehicle seats. Currently, vehicle seats are usually equipped with air conditioning and ventilation devices and leg rest structures. The ventilation function of the air conditioning and ventilation device can effectively improve the air circulation environment of the part of the body in contact with the seat surface, so that even if you sit for a long time, the contact surface between the body and the seat will be dry and comfortable. The leg rest structure provides support for the legs, improving the comfort of passengers.

[0005] In related technologies, vehicle seats are equipped with seat air conditioning and ventilation devices. These devices use an internal fan power module to directly blow or draw air into the seat's ventilation circuit, providing active seat cooling or heating ventilation for a more direct and rapid sense of comfort. However, most seats do not have independent ventilation systems in the leg rests, resulting in poor air exchange in the leg and foot areas. In practice, the entire vehicle's air conditioning system is typically used to cool the cabin and improve ventilation in these areas, but this leads to higher energy consumption and significant energy loss. Furthermore, the contact area between the passenger's legs and the leg rests creates a noticeable heat and sweatiness, negatively impacting passenger comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0064] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this disclosure, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The descriptions in this section are merely illustrative and explanatory, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this disclosure. Specifically, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0065] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it need not be optionally defined and interpreted in subsequent figures. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0066] This embodiment provides a leg rest ventilation device configured in a car seat to achieve ventilation in the main support area of ​​the leg rest and the area in front of the occupant's feet.

[0067] This embodiment provides a car seat, which includes a seat cushion 10, a backrest 11, a leg rest 4, and a leg rest ventilation device. The leg rest ventilation device enables ventilation of the main support area of ​​the leg rest and the area in front of the occupant's feet.

[0068] As shown in Figures 1-9, this embodiment provides a leg support ventilation device, including: a fan 11, a first conveying mechanism 12, and a second conveying mechanism 13;

[0069] The fan 11 provides an air source, and the fan 11 has at least one first air outlet and at least one second air outlet;

[0070] The first conveying mechanism 12 is configured to connect the first air vent and the seat surface of the main seating area; the second conveying mechanism 13 is configured to connect the second air vent and the leg rest surface.

[0071] It is understandable that by fully utilizing the airflow generated by the second vent of a fan 11 and the airflow drawn in by the first vent of the same fan 11, the blown airflow is delivered to the main seat area of ​​the main seat, and the drawn airflow is delivered to the leg rest area of ​​the leg rest surface; or, the blown airflow is delivered to the leg rest area of ​​the leg rest surface, and the drawn airflow is delivered to the main seat area of ​​the main seat. This ensures that both the main seat area and the leg rest area can maintain ventilation simultaneously without the need for additional air sources, making it economical and environmentally friendly. It effectively solves the technical problem of no ventilation in the leg rest area in existing technologies, significantly improving passenger comfort.

[0072] In this embodiment, the leg support ventilation device includes a fan 11.

[0073] The fan 11 provides an air source and has at least one first air outlet and at least one second air outlet.

[0074] In this embodiment, the first air outlet is the air inlet of the fan 11, and the second air outlet is the air outlet of the fan 11.

[0075] The first conveying mechanism 12 is connected to the air inlet of the fan 11 and can provide the main seat with the intake airflow.

[0076] The second conveying mechanism 13 is connected to the air outlet to provide airflow to the leg rest; or the first conveying mechanism 12 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 11 to provide airflow to the main seat; the second conveying mechanism 13 is connected to the air inlet to provide airflow to the leg rest.

[0077] Understandably, the airflow generated by the outlet of a fan 11 and the airflow drawn in by the inlet of the same fan 11 are fully utilized to deliver the blown airflow to the main seat area and the drawn airflow to the leg rest area; or, the blown airflow is delivered to the leg rest area and the drawn airflow is delivered to the main seat area. This ensures that both the main seat area and the leg rest area can maintain ventilation simultaneously without the need for additional air sources, making it economical and environmentally friendly. It effectively solves the technical problem of no ventilation in the leg rest area in existing technologies, significantly improving passenger comfort.

[0078] Optionally, if the first air vent includes at least one, it can be one, two, or the same number; if the second air vent includes at least one, it can be one, two, or the same number.

[0079] In this embodiment, the fan 11 has one first air outlet and one second air outlet. Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the fan 11 may have one first air outlet and at least two second air outlets. The fan 11 may also have at least two first air outlets and at least two second air outlets. The number and combination of the first and second air outlets are not limited to the above embodiments and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0080] In this embodiment, the distance between the leg rest and the main seat is adjustable, allowing the leg rest to move relative to the main seat. Therefore, the leg rest ventilation device, leg rest telescopic mechanism, and / or angle adjustment structure enable the leg rest to move relative to the main seat.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, the leg support ventilation device includes a leg support telescopic mechanism. This mechanism is configured to extend or retract the leg support. As shown in Figure 4, the leg support telescopic mechanism includes a main seat support 14, a leg support bracket 15, an air pump 161, a connecting pipe, a first airbag 162, and an elastic element. The leg support bracket 15 is slidably connected to the main seat support 14 and is provided with a guide rail. The first airbag 162 is disposed between the main seat support 14 and the leg support bracket 15, and the expansion direction of the first airbag 162 is the same as the sliding direction of the leg support.

[0082] Under normal conditions, the first airbag 162 is in a contracted state, and the leg rest is also in a contracted state. The air pump 161 inflates the first airbag 162 through the connecting pipe. The first airbag 162 expands and pushes out the leg rest, which is in an extended state. At the same time, it charges the first elastic element 163.

[0083] When the leg support needs to be retracted, the air pump 161 stops inflating, the first airbag 162 deflates, and the leg support bracket 15 resets under the elastic force of the first elastic element 163. At this time, the leg support is in the retracted state.

[0084] Optionally, the power source for the translational movement of the leg support bracket 15, the first airbag 162 and the elastic element, can be replaced by other driving components, such as electric lead screws, hydraulic levers, etc., or can be manually moved by hand. The design scheme provided in this disclosure improves the air guiding method and route, which can ensure that the surface of the leg support and the surface of the main seat are ventilated at the same time during the translational movement of the leg support, and can be configured into telescopic leg supports driven by various methods.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, the leg rest ventilation device includes an angle adjustment structure, enabling the leg rest to have an angle adjustment function. As shown in Figure 4, the angle adjustment structure includes: a flip support 171, an air pump 161, a second airbag 173, a connecting pipe, and a second elastic element 174; the flip support 171 is hinged to the leg rest bracket 15, and the second airbag 173 is disposed between the flip support 171 and the leg rest bracket 15. Under normal conditions, the flip support 171 is in a horizontal state. The air pump 161 inflates the second airbag 173, causing the flip support 171 to gradually flip upward. The flip angle of the flip support 171 is adjusted by controlling the expansion degree of the airbag. The second elastic body is located away from the rotation axis of the flip support 171. The two ends of the second elastic body are connected to the flip support 171 and the leg support bracket 15, respectively. As the flip angle of the flip support 171 increases, the second elastic body gradually charges. When it is necessary to reduce the flip angle of the leg support, the air pump 161 reduces the inflation of the second airbag 173. The second airbag 173 expands and contracts, and the flip support 171 flips downward under the elastic force of the second elastic element 174.

[0086] In an optional embodiment, the power source second airbag 173 of the tilting support 171 can be replaced by other driving components, such as an electric screw, hydraulic rod, etc. The main body end is rotatably connected to the leg support bracket 15, and the telescopic top end is slidably connected to the tilting support 171; or, a motor is used in conjunction with a transmission to directly drive the rotating shaft of the tilting support 171; or, it is manually moved by manpower. For the structure of the air supply section, please refer to the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0087] In this embodiment, the leg support ventilation device includes a first conveying mechanism 12.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 12 includes a first connecting pipe, a first air guiding mechanism, and a first foam body 122. The first air guiding mechanism can be a first ventilation bag 121, which can be located on the side of the first foam body 122 away from the human body. In this case, the first connecting pipe connects the air inlet of the fan 11 to the first ventilation bag 121. The first ventilation bag 121 has multiple ventilation holes densely arranged on it, and the ventilation holes on the first ventilation bag 121 correspond to the ventilation holes on the first foam body 122. The airflow drawn in from the surface of the main seat is conducted through the ventilation holes on the first foam body 122 and the ventilation holes on the first ventilation bag 121, and then enters the fan 11 through the first connecting pipe. The first ventilation bag 121 can be set on the side of the first foam 122 closest to the human body. At this time, a breathable seat cover is provided on the side of the first ventilation bag 121 closest to the human body. The connecting pipe passes through the first foam 122 to connect the first ventilation bag 121 with the air inlet of the fan 11. The airflow drawn in from the surface of the main seat is conducted through the ventilation holes on the seat cover and the first ventilation bag 121, and then enters the fan 11 through the first connecting pipe.

[0089] In this embodiment, the leg support ventilation device includes a second conveying mechanism 13.

[0090] In this embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 13 includes a second connecting pipe, a second air guide 11, and a second foam body 132. The structure and function of the second air guide 11 and the second foam body 132 are the same as those of the first conveying mechanism 12 described above. It should be noted that the second conveying mechanism 13 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 11, and delivers a uniformly blown airflow to the leg rest surface. As follows: the second air guide 11 can be a second ventilation bag 131, which can be set on the side of the second foam body 132 away from the human body. At this time, the second connecting pipe connects the air outlet of the fan 11 to the second ventilation bag 131. The second ventilation bag 131 has multiple ventilation holes densely arranged on it, and the ventilation holes on the second ventilation bag 131 correspond to the ventilation holes on the second foam body 132. The air outlet of the fan 11 is blown out by the second connecting pipe, and the airflow is conducted through the ventilation holes on the second ventilation bag 131 and the second foam body 132, delivering a uniformly blown airflow to the leg rest surface.

[0091] In addition, the second connecting pipe of the second conveying mechanism 13 has excess length, or the second connecting pipe is provided with a first telescopic section, configured to at least satisfy the requirement that the air passage between the second guide fan 11 and the fan 11 remains connected during the adjustment of the leg support.

[0092] In an optional embodiment, the first ventilation bag 121 and the second foam body 132 of the first conveying mechanism 12, and the second ventilation bag 131 and the second foam body 132 of the second conveying mechanism 13, can be replaced by other air guiding devices that can uniformly guide airflow to the seat surface. For example, grooves can be opened in the foam, or a three-dimensional knitted mesh can be placed in the groove. In addition, different types of air guiding devices can be used for the leg rest and the main seat.

[0093] As shown in Figures 5-7, during the extension and retraction of the leg support, the second conveying mechanism 13 needs to maintain unobstructed airflow between the fan 11 and the leg support. Therefore, this disclosure configures the second connecting pipe to have a spare length or to have a first extension section, so as to at least ensure that the airflow between the second guide fan 11 and the fan 11 remains connected during the adjustment of the leg support.

[0094] In an alternative embodiment, the second connecting pipe between the fan 11 and the leg support has excess length.

[0095] In an optional embodiment, as shown in Figures 2-3, the second connecting pipe between the fan 11 and the leg support has a first telescopic section. The first telescopic section includes a corrugated structure 133. When the leg support extends, the corrugated structure 133 is stretched to protect the connecting pipe from being broken; when the leg support retracts, the corrugated structure 133 contracts to prevent the connecting pipe from accumulating and knotting, ensuring unobstructed airflow in the connecting pipe. The corrugated structure 133 is a ventilation duct with corrugated pleats in its wall, possessing both telescopic and ventilation properties; specifically, a corrugated pipe can be used.

[0096] Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting pipe may be a different ventilation pipe having a first telescopic section.

[0097] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-7, the second connecting pipe between the fan 11 and the leg support has a first telescopic section. The first telescopic section of the second connecting pipe includes a first sleeve 134 and a second sleeve 135. The first sleeve 134 and the second sleeve 135 are sleeved together and can slide relative to each other in their length direction. To ensure the sealing between the sleeves, a sealing ring 136 is also provided, which is located between the gaps in the walls of the first sleeve 134 and the second sleeve 135. The sealing ring 136 is fixedly and tightly connected to the first sleeve 134 and abuts against the second sleeve 135. The overlapping length of the sleeved section of the first sleeve 134 and the second sleeve 135 is greater than the maximum translational distance of the leg support. During installation, adjust the relative sliding direction of the two sleeves (the length direction of the sleeve area) to keep them parallel to the translation direction of the leg support. The first sleeve 134 is fixedly connected to the fan 11 and is relatively fixed relative to the main support bracket 14. The second sleeve 135 is fixedly connected to the second ventilation bag 131 and is relatively fixed relative to the leg support bracket 15. During the extension and retraction of the leg support, the first sleeve 134 and the second sleeve 135 are pulled to slide relative to each other. During the sliding process, the first sleeve 134 and the second sleeve are always kept in contact, that is, the air path is kept unobstructed.

[0098] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, in an optional embodiment, when the second air guide fan 11 and the leg support are spaced apart (with a supporting buffer between them), the second connecting pipe includes a first connecting pipe 137 and a second connecting pipe 138 detachably connected thereto. The first connecting pipe 137 and the second connecting pipe 138 can communicate with each other when connected. The first connecting pipe 137 is connected to the fan 11. The second connecting pipe 138 is located at the leg support, communicates with the second ventilation bag 131, and remains relatively fixed to the leg support bracket 15.

[0099] Optionally, the leg support bracket 15 has a through groove or through hole for receiving the first connecting tube 137. The first connecting tube 137 passes through the through groove or through hole and connects to the second connecting tube 138. Of course, the leg support bracket 15 can also have a sealed through hole, with the first connecting tube 137 communicating with the lower opening of the sealed through hole, and the second connecting tube 138 communicating with the upper opening of the sealed through hole. The end of the second connecting tube 138 away from the first connecting tube 137 is connected to the ventilation bag.

[0100] In an optional embodiment, the leg support bracket 15 and the main seat bracket 14 are respectively provided with grooves to accommodate the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe. When the position is adjusted, sufficient space is provided for the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe, and the movement path of the first connecting pipe and the second connecting pipe can be limited, which can optionally improve the stability of the pipe.

[0101] In an optional embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 13 includes a second connecting pipe 138 that connects the second ventilation bag 131 to the fan 11, wherein the second ventilation bag 131 is fixedly disposed relative to the flipping support 171.

[0102] Optionally, the second connecting pipe 138 passes at least through the pivot 172 where the leg support angle changes, ensuring that the airflow of the second conveying mechanism 13 remains connected when the leg support angle is adjusted. The extension path of the second connecting pipe 138 passes through the pivot 172. In this case, the second connecting pipe 138 can be integrally connected to the second ventilation bag 131; the second connecting pipe 138 can be a flexible hose.

[0103] Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting pipe 138 may also have a second telescopic section, such as a corrugated structure 133, to ensure that the air path of the second conveying mechanism 13 remains connected when the leg support is adjusted at an angle.

[0104] Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting pipe 138 may also have excess length to ensure that the air passage of the second conveying mechanism 13 remains connected when the leg support is adjusted at the angle.

[0105] Optionally, a support structure 139 is provided inside the second connecting pipe 138. The support structure 139 extends along the diameter of the second connecting pipe 138, ensuring that the pipe path of the second connecting pipe 138 remains unobstructed and preventing the ventilation airflow from being interrupted when the second connecting pipe 138 is compressed by passengers. Optionally, the support structure 139 can be a guide chain, universal joint, corrugated pipe, or other auxiliary support structure 139.

[0106] In an optional embodiment, the fan 11 has at least two second air outlets, and a second connecting pipe is correspondingly arranged with the second air outlets, configured to divide the airflow drawn in or blown out by the fan 11 into multiple parts, which are then delivered to multiple positions of the leg rests. Optionally, but not limited to, the leg rests are of a left-right split type, and the second conveying mechanism 13 has a branch air passage, which divides the airflow drawn in or blown out by the fan 11 into two parts, which are then delivered to the left and right leg rests respectively. The fan 11 has only one air inlet and one air outlet, and the second connecting pipe has a branch air passage at its interface with the fan 11, which divides the airflow exiting the fan 11 into two parts, which are then delivered to the left and right leg rests respectively. When the fan 11 itself has two air outlets / inlets, two identical connecting pipes are used to ventilate the left and right leg rests.

[0107] In an optional embodiment, the leg support ventilation device further includes a cooler; the cooler is disposed at the air outlet of the fan 11; or, the cooler is disposed at a first conveying mechanism 12 or a second conveying mechanism 13 connected to the air outlet of the fan 11.

[0108] It's understandable that when the seat ventilation is first turned on, the high-temperature air drawn in can be detrimental if blown to another area. We can connect a thermoelectric cooler to the air outlet or its connected piping to cool the air using semiconductors, thus directing the cooler air to the legs or buttocks. However, installing the cooler in the air inlet duct or at the fan 11 will result in temperature loss as the air passes through the fan 11, reducing cooling efficiency. Once the temperature drops or after running for a period of time, the thermoelectric cooler can be shut off to reduce energy consumption.

[0109] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the leg support ventilation device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0110] Existing ventilated seats only ventilate the main seat area. However, the fan 11 inevitably has an air inlet and an air outlet. The technical solution provided in this disclosure makes full use of the air inlet and outlet of the fan 11, transmitting one air inlet to the main seat area and the other to the leg rest area. After the fan 11 starts working, it ventilates both the main seat area and the leg rest area simultaneously, improving the comfort of the user.

[0111] In summary, the leg rest ventilation device provided in this embodiment fully utilizes the airflow generated by the second air outlet of a fan 11 and the airflow drawn in by the first air outlet of the fan 11. The blown airflow is delivered to the main seat area, and the drawn airflow is delivered to the leg rest area; or, the blown airflow is delivered to the leg rest area, and the drawn airflow is delivered to the main seat area. This ensures that both the main seat area and the leg rest area can maintain ventilation simultaneously without requiring additional air sources. It is economical and environmentally friendly, effectively solving the technical problem of no ventilation in the leg rest area in the prior art, and significantly improving passenger comfort.

[0112] As shown in Figures 10-18, this embodiment also provides a seat leg rest ventilation device, which is configured in a car seat to achieve ventilation of the main support area of ​​the leg rest 4 and the area of ​​the occupant's feet in front of the leg rest 4.
