Description

Seat and control method thereof, seat control device, and vehicle

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of mechanical and electronic technology, and in particular to a seat and a control method thereof, a seat control device, a vehicle, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product.

Background technique

With the development of automobile assembly technology, cars have become an indispensable tool for people's daily travel. However, the seat belts in cars are designed according to adult standards. If children sit directly on the car seat, the seat belt will get stuck on the child's neck or strangle the child's abdomen, which is less safe. In order to improve the safety of children in the car, relevant laws and regulations stipulate that children should be equipped with child seats.

At present, the child seats suitable for children sold on the market need to be fixed on the seats of the car. However, the child seats are not only inconvenient to carry, but also occupy the space inside the car. When the child seats are idle and placed in the trunk of the car, they occupy the space of the trunk of the car.

Summary of the invention

Embodiments of the present application provide a seat and a control method thereof, a seat control device, a vehicle, a computer-readable storage medium, and a computer program product, which are used to integrate a child seat on the seat without the need to install an additional child seat, thereby reducing the space occupied by the vehicle.

To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

In a first aspect, a seat is provided, comprising: a seat body, a first inflatable assembly and a foldable first air bag. The seat body comprises a cushion body and a backrest body, and a first groove is provided on the top surface of the cushion body. The first inflatable assembly is disposed in the cushion body. The first air bag is connected to the first inflatable assembly. The first inflatable assembly is used to inflate the first air bag or to release the gas in the first air bag; when the first air bag is not inflated, the first air bag is located in the first groove, and when the first air bag is inflated, the first air bag protrudes from the first groove.

The seat provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first inflatable component in the seat cushion body, and a first groove is provided on the top surface of the seat cushion body, and a foldable first air bag connected to the first inflatable component is provided in the first groove. Not only can the first inflatable component be used to inflate the first air bag so that the first air bag can protrude from the first groove, so that the child can sit on the second sitting surface formed by the upper surface of the first air bag, but the first inflatable component can also be used to release the gas in the first air bag so that the first air bag can be folded and placed in the first groove, so that the adult can sit on the first sitting surface formed by the upper surface of the first air bag and the top surface of the seat cushion body. That is to say, the embodiment of the present application integrates the child seat into the above-mentioned seat by providing the first groove, the first inflatable component, and the first air bag, so that the seat has both the function of a child seat and the function of an adult seat, so that there is no need to install a child seat additionally, not only there is no need to carry the child seat, but also when the child is not sitting on the seat, the first air bag can be retracted into the first groove, reducing the space occupied and facilitating a good space experience.

Moreover, the first air bag itself is relatively soft, which can improve the comfort of adults or children when sitting in the seat.

In addition, the second seating surface is higher than the top surface of the seat cushion body, that is, after the first airbag is inflated, the child's seating height is raised. This can expand the child's seating field and provide better visual comfort for the child. Moreover, after the child's seating height is raised, the child can also use the seat belt originally equipped with the seat (that is, the seat belt equipped with the shared seat itself for adults) to avoid strangling the child's neck and abdomen, thereby improving the child's safety. Furthermore, it can also avoid the need for a five-point seat belt, thereby avoiding increased costs.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first inflatable component includes: a first controller, a first air pump, a first wiring harness and a first air pipe. One end of the first wiring harness is connected to the first controller, and the other end of the first wiring harness is connected to the first air pump. One end of the first air pipe is connected to the first air pump, and the other end of the first air pipe is connected to the first air bag. The first controller is used to control the first air pump to inflate the first air bag, or to control the first air pump to release the gas in the first air bag. The embodiment of the present application can control the state of the first air bag by setting the first controller, the first air pump, the first wiring harness and the first air pipe, and then can realize the switching of the child seat function and the adult seat function of the seat. Moreover, the structure of the first inflatable component is simple, which can avoid increasing costs.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the seat also includes a first pressure sensor located on the seat cushion body, and the first pressure sensor is coupled to the first controller. The first pressure sensor is used to detect a first pressure value borne by the seat cushion body. The first controller is also used to receive the first pressure value and adjust the inflation amount of the first air bag according to the first pressure value. By setting a first pressure sensor, the embodiment of the present application can cooperate with the first controller, etc. to adjust the inflation amount of the first air bag according to the weight of different passengers, and then adjust the internal pressure of the first air bag, thereby improving the uniformity of the degree of sinking of the first air bag caused by different passengers and improving the comfort of different passengers sitting in the seat.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the backrest body is provided with a second groove. The seat further includes: a second inflatable assembly arranged in the backrest body, and a second air bag connected to the second inflatable assembly. The second inflatable assembly is used to inflate the second air bag, or to release the gas in the second air bag; when the second air bag is not inflated, the second air bag is located in the second groove, and when the second air bag is inflated, the second air bag protrudes from the second groove. The number of the second air bags is, for example, two, and the two second air bags are arranged oppositely. When the child seat function is activated, the child's head can be placed in the space between the two second air bags, and the two second air bags can fit on opposite sides of the child's head, and support and stabilize the child's head, which is conducive to increasing the protection effect surface for the child and improving the protection effect on the child's head. The second air bag itself is relatively soft, and can also improve the comfort of the child's head, and provide a better buffering protection for the child's head when the child's head shakes (for example, caused by the shaking of the car or the child's sleep, etc.).

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the second inflatable component includes: a second controller, a second air pump, a second wiring harness and a second air pipe. One end of the second wiring harness is connected to the second controller, and the other end of the second wiring harness is connected to the second air pump. One end of the second air pipe is connected to the second air pump, and the other end of the second air pipe is connected to the second air bag. The second controller is used to control the second air pump to inflate the second air bag, or to control the second air pump to release the gas in the second air bag. The embodiment of the present application can control the state of the second air bag by setting the second controller, the second air pump, the second wiring harness and the second air pipe, and then can realize the switching of the child seat function and the adult seat function of the seat. Moreover, the structure of the second inflatable component is simple, which can avoid increasing costs.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the seat also includes a second pressure sensor located on the backrest body, and the second pressure sensor is coupled to the second controller. The second pressure sensor is used to detect a second pressure value borne by the backrest body. The second controller is also used to receive the second pressure value and adjust the inflation amount of the second air bag according to the second pressure value. By setting a second pressure sensor, the embodiment of the present application can cooperate with a second controller, a second air pump, etc., and adjust the inflation amount of the second air bag according to the pressure applied to the backrest body by different children, thereby adjusting the internal pressure of the second air bag and the support force provided for the child, so as to provide appropriate support force for the heads of different children when the vehicle is shaking, and prevent the child's head from shaking significantly with the shaking of the vehicle.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the seat further includes a detachable backrest cover. The detachable backrest cover is used to cover or expose the second groove. When an adult sits on the seat, the detachable backrest cover covers the second groove and the second air bag, which is conducive to improving the comfort of the adult sitting on the seat. When a child sits on the seat, the detachable backrest cover can be removed from the second groove and the second air bag to facilitate the inflated second air bag to protrude from the second groove. By providing a detachable backrest cover, the flexibility of the seat can be improved.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first air bag includes an inflatable base and inflatable armrests located on both sides of the inflatable base, and the inflatable base and the inflatable armrests are connected. The first air bag is in an embracing style after being inflated. When a child sits on the seat, the child can sit in the space defined by the inflatable base and the inflatable armrests, which is conducive to increasing the protection effect surface for the child and improving the protection effect for the child. In this way, the seat provided in the embodiment of the present application can be suitable for both older children and younger children.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the first airbag further includes a raised portion located on a side of the inflatable base away from the backrest body, and the raised portion is located between the two inflatable armrests. The raised portion is in communication with the inflatable base. By providing the raised portion, the movement space of the child sitting on the seat can be limited, preventing the child from moving away from the backrest body and slipping off the seat, thereby further improving the protection effect on the child.

In a possible implementation of the first aspect, the seat further includes a detachable seat cushion cover. The detachable seat cushion cover is used to cover or expose the first groove. When an adult sits on the seat, the detachable seat cushion cover covers the first groove and the first air bag, which is conducive to improving the comfort of the adult sitting on the seat. When a child sits on the seat, the detachable seat cushion cover can be removed from the first groove and the first air bag to facilitate the inflated first air bag to protrude from the first groove.

The embodiment of the present application provides a means of transportation, which may be a road-type means of transportation such as a sedan, SUV (sport/suburban utility vehicle), MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), bus, coach, etc., or a rail-type means of transportation such as a train, motor vehicle, high-speed rail, light rail, subway, etc., or a water-type means of transportation such as a cruise ship, passenger ship, sailboat, etc., or an aviation-type means of transportation such as an airplane, passenger plane, helicopter, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not impose any special restrictions on the specific forms of the above-mentioned means of transportation.

The above-mentioned vehicles include a vehicle body. Among them, when the vehicle is a road vehicle such as a car, bus, or coach, or a rail vehicle such as a train, a motor vehicle, a high-speed rail, a light rail, or a subway, the vehicle body, for example, refers to a whole consisting of a front, a body, and a rear. When the vehicle is a water vehicle such as a cruise ship, a passenger ship, or a sailboat, the vehicle body, for example, refers to a whole consisting of a bow, a hull, and a stern. When the vehicle is an aviation vehicle such as an airplane, a passenger plane, or a helicopter, the vehicle body, for example, refers to a whole consisting of a nose, a fuselage, and a tail.

For the convenience of explanation, the following embodiments are all illustrated by taking a car as an example of a vehicle, which cannot be regarded as a specific limitation on the structural form of the vehicle. Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a vehicle (ie, a car) in some embodiments of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 1 , a vehicle 1000 mainly includes an engine 200 , electrical equipment 300 , a chassis 400 , and a vehicle body 500 .

The engine 200 is a power device of the vehicle 1000. The engine 200 includes an engine body, a crankshaft connecting rod mechanism, a valve mechanism, a cooling system, a lubrication system, a fuel system, and an ignition system (a diesel engine does not have an ignition system).

The electrical equipment 300 includes a battery, a generator, a regulator, a starter, an instrument, a lighting device, an audio device, a wiper, and the like.

The chassis 400 is used to support and install components such as the engine 200 and the electrical equipment 300 to form the overall structure of the vehicle 1000, and receives the power of the engine 200 to make the vehicle 1000 move and ensure normal driving. The chassis 400 includes a transmission system, a running system, a steering system, and a braking system.

The body 500 is mounted on the frame of the chassis 400 for the driver, passengers or cargo. The body of a car is generally an integral structure. The main function of the car body is to protect the driver and form a good aerodynamic environment.

Among them, a seat 100 is arranged in the vehicle body 500. The seat 100 mainly includes a seat cushion and a backrest. The seat cushion and the backrest both have a certain elasticity. Exemplarily, the seat 100 also includes a headrest. Optionally, the seat 100 also includes a pneumatic lumbar support, which has a massage function, for example.

In some examples, the seat 100 further includes an adjustment mechanism that can move the seat 100 forward and backward, up and down, or change the angle between the seat cushion and the backrest.

The seat 100 includes a front row seat and a rear row seat. The rear row seat is located at a side of the front row seat close to the back of the seat body, that is, the rear row seat is located behind the front row seat. The front row seat is generally arranged as a main driver's seat and a co-driver's seat.

In some examples, each seat 100 is equipped with a seat belt to improve the safety of passengers sitting on the seat 100 .

It is understandable that, currently, the above-mentioned safety belts are designed according to adult standards. If a child directly sits on a seat (such as a back seat), the safety is low. In order to improve the safety of children riding in vehicles, there is a child seat suitable for children to ride and can be directly installed and fixed on the seat, so that children can ride safely in vehicles through the child seat.

If the above-mentioned car is a private car, the child's parents or other guardians can always install and fix the child seat on the seat inside the car, or put the child seat in the trunk when the child seat is idle, thereby causing the child seat to occupy space inside the car or the trunk.

If you travel with children, you usually take a taxi (or other types of transportation), but most taxis are not equipped with child seats, so you need to bring your own child seat. However, child seats are relatively large and difficult to carry.

Based on this, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG2 , a groove is provided in the seat cushion of the seat, and a seat cushion lifting mechanism 600 is provided in the groove. When the seat cushion lifting mechanism 600 falls into the groove, an adult can sit on the seat; after the seat cushion lifting mechanism rises from the groove, as shown in FIG2 , a child can sit on the seat. In other words, the present embodiment integrates a child seat into the above-mentioned seat, so that the seat can realize both the function of an adult seat and the function of a child seat. In this way, the installation of a fixed child seat can be avoided, which not only reduces the space occupied by the child seat, but also avoids the need to carry the child seat.

The above-mentioned cushion lifting mechanism generally includes a rigid support structure and a foam covering the rigid support structure. Since the foam is thinner and harder, and the rigid support structure has poor elasticity, the comfort of a child or an adult sitting on the seat will be reduced.

Based on this, some embodiments of the present application also provide a seat. The seat can be applied to the above-mentioned vehicles as a seat in the vehicle. Figures 3 to 7 respectively illustrate the structure of a seat. Among them, Figures 3 and 6 show the state of the seat when an adult sits on the seat, and Figures 4, 5 and 7 show the state of the seat when a child sits on the seat.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the seat 100 includes a seat body 1 , a first inflatable component 2 and a first air bag 3 .

Exemplarily, the seat body 1 includes a cushion body 11 and a backrest body 12. There is an angle between the cushion body 11 and the backrest body 12, for example, an obtuse angle is formed between the two. The cushion body 11 and the backrest body 12 both have a certain elasticity. The cushion body 11 is used for passengers to sit on, and the backrest body 12 is used for passengers to lean on. Optionally, the backrest body 12 is located on the top surface D of the cushion body 11 and is connected to one end of the top surface D of the cushion body 11. Alternatively, the backrest body 12 is connected to the side of the cushion body 11. The above-mentioned passengers include adults and children, for example.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the embodiment of the present application takes the case where the backrest body 12 is located on the top surface D of the cushion body 11 as an example.

Exemplarily, the top surface D of the cushion body 11 is provided with a first groove A1. The orthographic projection area of the first groove A1 on the plane where the top surface D is located is smaller than the area of the top surface D. There is a certain distance between the first groove A1 and the backrest body 12, that is, the backrest body 12 does not cover the first groove A1, and there is no mutual interference between the backrest body 12 and the first groove A1.

Exemplarily, the first airbag 3 is a foldable airbag. The bag body of the first airbag 3 is soft and elastic. The shape of the first airbag 3 is, for example, an irregular shape. As shown in FIG3 , when the first airbag 3 is not inflated, the first airbag 3 can be placed in the first groove A1 after being folded, and basically does not occupy the space of other positions. The upper surface of the first airbag 3 is flush with the top surface D of the cushion body 11, or the upper surface of the first airbag 3 is slightly higher than the top surface D of the cushion body 11. As shown in FIG4 , when the first airbag 3 is inflated, the first airbag 3 can swell and protrude from the first groove A1, the upper surface of the first airbag 3 is higher than the top surface D of the cushion body 11, and there is a certain distance between the upper surface of the first airbag 3 and the top surface D of the cushion body 11.

Exemplarily, the first inflatable component 2 is disposed in the seat cushion body 11, and the first inflatable component 2 is connected to the first airbag 3. Optionally, a cavity is disposed in the seat cushion body 11, and the first inflatable component 2 can be placed in the cavity; or, the seat cushion body 11 encloses a certain space, and the first inflatable component 2 can be placed in the space. In this way, the space occupied by the first inflatable component 2 in the interior of the car can be reduced.

The bottom of the first groove A1 is provided with a through hole, for example, through which the first inflatable component 2 can extend into the first groove A1 and be connected to the first airbag 3. The first inflatable component 2 is used to inflate the first airbag 3 so that the first airbag 3 expands and bulges, thereby allowing the first airbag 3 to protrude from the first groove A1; or the first inflatable component 2 is used to release the gas in the first airbag 3 so that the first airbag 3 can be placed in the first groove A1 after being folded.

The seat 100 has an adult seat function (also referred to as a first seat function), that is, when the first inflatable component 2 does not inflate the first airbag 3, or the first inflatable component 2 releases the gas in the first airbag 3, the first airbag 3 can be in a foldable state and placed in the first groove A1. At this time, the upper surface of the first airbag 3 and the top surface D of the cushion body 11 together constitute a first seating surface for adults to sit on, and the seat 100 can be used by adults to sit on. The seat 100 also has a child seat function (also referred to as a second seat function), that is, when the first inflatable component 2 inflates the first airbag 3, the first airbag 3 can be protruded from the first groove A1. At this time, the upper surface of the first airbag 3 constitutes a second seating surface for children to sit on, and the seat 100 can be used by children to sit on. In this case, the seat 100 can be called an air cushion child seat.

That is to say, the embodiment of the present application integrates the child seat on the above-mentioned seat 100 by providing the first groove A1, the first inflatable component 2, and the first air bag 3, so that the seat 100 has both the function of a child seat and the function of an adult seat. In this way, there is no need to install a child seat additionally. Not only does it not need to carry the child seat, but the first air bag 3 can also be retracted into the first groove A1 when the child is not sitting in the seat 100, thereby reducing space occupancy and facilitating a good spatial experience.

Moreover, the first airbag 3 itself is relatively soft, which can improve the comfort of adults or children when sitting on the seat 100.

In addition, the second seating surface is higher than the top surface D of the cushion body 11, that is, after the first airbag 3 is inflated, the child's seating height is raised. This can expand the child's seating field and provide better visual comfort for the child. Moreover, after the child's seating height is raised, the child can also use the safety belt originally equipped with the seat 100 (that is, the safety belt for adults equipped with the shared seat 100 itself) to avoid strangling the child's neck and abdomen, thereby improving the child's safety. Furthermore, it is also possible to avoid equipping a five-point safety belt, thereby avoiding increased costs.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the first inflation assembly 2 includes: a first controller 21, a first air pump 22, a first wiring harness 23, and a first air pipe 24. One end of the first wiring harness 23 is connected to the first controller 21, and the other end of the first wiring harness 23 is connected to the first air pump 22. One end of the first air pipe 24 is in communication with the first air pump 22, and the other end of the first air pipe 24 is in communication with the first air bag 3. The first controller 21 is used to control the first air pump 22 to inflate the first air bag 3, or to control the first air pump 22 to release the gas in the first air bag 3.

Exemplarily, when a child needs to sit in the seat 100, that is, when the child seat function of the seat 100 needs to be activated, the first controller 21 can generate a first control signal, and the first control signal is used to control the first air pump 22 to inflate the first air bag 3. The first control signal can be transmitted to the first air pump 22 via the first wiring harness 23. After receiving the first control signal, the first air pump 22 can inflate the first air bag 3 through the first air pipe 24, so that the first air bag 3 expands and bulges, and protrudes from the first groove A1, which is convenient for the child to sit.

Exemplarily, when an adult needs to sit in the seat 100, that is, when the adult seat function of the seat 100 needs to be activated, the first controller 21 can generate a second control signal, and the second control signal is used to control the first air pump 22 to release the gas in the first air bag 3. The second control signal can be transmitted to the first air pump 22 via the first wiring harness 23. After receiving the second control signal, the first air pump 22 can release the gas in the first air bag 3 through the first air pipe 24, so that the first air bag 3 is folded and placed in the first groove A1 for the adult to sit.

The embodiment of the present application can control the state of the first air bag 3 by providing the first controller 21, the first air pump 22, the first wiring harness 23 and the first air pipe 24, thereby realizing the switching between the child seat function and the adult seat function of the seat 100. Moreover, the structure of the first inflatable component 2 is simple, which can avoid increasing costs.

Optionally, the first controller 21 is also connected to a function switching button. The function switching button is, for example, arranged on the side of the seat 100 or on the door panel of the vehicle body 500. By pressing the function switching button, the first controller 21 can generate a first control signal, thereby causing the first air pump 22 to inflate the first air bag 3, that is, switching the function of the seat 100 from an adult seat function to a child seat function; or, by pressing the function switching button, the first controller 21 can generate a second control signal, thereby causing the first air pump 22 to release the gas in the first air bag 3, that is, switching the function of the seat 100 from a child seat function to an adult seat function.

By providing a function switching button, it is helpful to improve the convenience for passengers to switch the functions of the seat 100.

It is understandable that different passengers (including but not limited to children) have different weights. Accordingly, different passengers sitting on the seat 100 apply different pressures to the seat cushion body 11, and different passengers cause the first airbag 3 to sink to different degrees.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the seat 100 further includes a first pressure sensor 4 disposed on the seat cushion body 11. The first pressure sensor 4 is used to detect a first pressure value borne by the seat cushion body 11. The first pressure value is given by a passenger sitting on the seat 100. The first pressure sensor 4 is coupled to the first controller 21. The first pressure sensor 4 can send the first pressure value detected by it to the first controller 21. The first controller 21 is also used to receive the first pressure value and adjust the inflation amount of the first airbag 3 according to the first pressure value.

Optionally, the first pressure sensor 4 and the first controller 21 may be connected in communication without direct contact; the first pressure value detected by the first pressure sensor 4 is directly sent to the first controller 21. Alternatively, the first pressure sensor 4 and the first controller 21 may also be physically connected through a corresponding wiring harness; the first pressure value detected by the first pressure sensor 4 is transmitted to the first controller 21 via the corresponding wiring harness.

Exemplarily, the first controller 21 stores a correspondence between the first pressure value and the inflation amount. In the embodiment of the present application, the inflation amount of the first air bag 3 can be adjusted by the first air pump 22. After receiving the first pressure value, the first controller 21 can search for the corresponding inflation amount in the above correspondence according to the first pressure value, and generate a corresponding electrical signal to send to the first air pump 22, so that the first air pump 22 fills the first air bag 3 with a corresponding volume of gas.

Exemplarily, the first pressure value and the inflation amount are generally positively correlated. That is, the larger the first pressure value, the larger the inflation amount of the first air pump 22 to the first air bag 3. Optionally, according to the weight of different passengers, multiple first pressure value intervals can be divided, and the inflation amount corresponding to the same first pressure value interval is the same, and the inflation amount corresponding to different first pressure value intervals is different.

Different inflation amounts result in different pressures inside the first airbag 3. That is, the embodiment of the present application can cooperate with the first controller 21, etc. by setting the first pressure sensor 4, and adjust the inflation amount of the first airbag 3 according to the weight of different passengers, and then adjust the internal pressure of the first airbag 3, thereby improving the uniformity of the degree of sinking of the first airbag 3 by different passengers and improving the comfort of different passengers sitting on the seat 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG5 , the first air bag 3 includes an inflatable base 31 and inflatable handrails 32 located on both sides of the inflatable base 31. The inflatable base 31 and the inflatable handrails 32 are connected, and when the first inflatable component 2 inflates the first air bag 3, the inflatable base 31 and the inflatable handrails 32 can be inflated synchronously, and the inflatable base 31 and the inflatable handrails 32 can expand and swell synchronously.

The number of the above-mentioned inflatable armrests 32 is two. The shape of each inflatable armrest 32 is, for example, planar, and the side of the inflatable armrest 32 is connected to the side of the inflatable base 31. The bottom end of the inflatable armrest 32 is, for example, flush with the top surface D of the cushion body 11, the top end of the inflatable armrest 32 is, for example, higher than the upper surface of the inflatable base 31, and the end of the inflatable armrest 32 away from the backrest body 12 is, for example, protruding from the side surface of the inflatable base 31 away from the backrest body 12. Here, the size of the inflatable base 31, the size of the inflatable armrest 32, etc., can be selectively set according to the height or age of the child, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. Exemplarily, the upper surface of the inflatable base 31 constitutes a second seating surface for children to sit on.

By providing the inflatable base 31 and the inflatable armrest 32, the first air bag 3 can be in an embracing style after being inflated. When a child sits on the seat 100, the child can sit in the space defined by the inflatable base 31 and the inflatable armrest 32, so that the inflatable base 31 and the inflatable armrest 32 are both in close contact with the child's body, which is conducive to increasing the protection effect surface for the child and improving the protection effect for the child. In this way, the seat 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be suitable for both older children and younger children.

In some examples, as shown in FIG5 , the first air bag 3 further includes a protrusion 33. The protrusion 33 is located on a side of the inflatable base 31 away from the backrest body 12 and between the two inflatable armrests 32. For example, the protrusion 33 is connected to the inflatable base 31. In this way, when the first inflatable component 2 inflates the first air bag 3, the inflatable base 31 and the protrusion 33 can be inflated synchronously, and the inflatable base 31 and the protrusion 33 can expand and swell synchronously.

Exemplarily, the protrusion 33 is located at a top end of a surface of the inflatable base 31 which is away from the backrest body 12 .

By providing the raised portion 33, the moving space of a child sitting on the seat 100 can be limited, thereby preventing the child from moving away from the backrest body 12 and slipping off the seat 100, thereby further improving the protection effect on the child.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 , the backrest body 12 is provided with a second groove A2, and the second groove A2 is, for example, located on the side C of the backrest body 12. The side C refers to the side of the backrest body 12 for the passenger to lean on. The number of the second grooves A2 is, for example, two, and the two second grooves A2 are spaced apart in a direction parallel to the top surface D of the cushion body 11. The second grooves A2 are in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the extension direction of the long side of each second groove A2 is perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the two second grooves A2.

There is a certain distance between the second groove A2 and the first groove A1. When the first airbag 3 is inflated, there is a certain distance between the second groove A2 and the second seating surface. The distance here can be selectively set according to the height or age of the child, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 , the seat 100 further includes a second inflatable component 5 and a second air bag 6 .

The number of the second airbags 6 is, for example, two, and the two second airbags 6 are arranged one-to-one with the above-mentioned two second grooves A2. The second airbag 6 is a foldable airbag. The bag body of the second airbag 6 is soft and elastic. When the second airbag 6 is not inflated, the second airbag 6 can be placed in the corresponding second groove A2 after being folded, and the side of the second airbag 6 is flush with the side C of the backrest body 12, or the side of the second airbag 6 slightly protrudes from the side C of the backrest body 12, and the second airbag 6 basically does not occupy the space of other positions. When the second airbag 6 is inflated, the second airbag 6 can bulge and protrude from the second groove A2, and there is a certain distance between the side of the second airbag 6 and the side C of the backrest body 12, and a space is defined between the two second airbags 6. The shape of the second airbag 6 is, for example, a relatively regular shape. When the second airbag 6 is inflated, the second airbag 6 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped. The size of the second airbag 6 and the distance between the two second airbags 6 can be selectively set according to the height or age of the child, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

The second inflatable component 5 is arranged in the backrest body 12, and the second inflatable component 5 is connected to the second airbag 6. For example, the second inflatable component 5 is connected to both of the second airbags 6. Optionally, a cavity is arranged in the backrest body 12, and the second inflatable component 5 can be placed in the cavity; or, the backrest body 12 encloses a certain space, and the second inflatable component 5 can be placed in the space. In this way, the second inflatable component 5 can reduce the space occupied by the interior of the car.

The bottom of the second groove A2 is provided with a through hole, for example, through which the second inflatable component 5 can extend into the second groove A2 and be connected to the corresponding second airbag 6. The second inflatable component 5 is used to inflate the second airbag 6 so that the second airbag 6 expands and bulges, thereby allowing the second airbag 6 to protrude from the second groove A2; or the second inflatable component 5 is used to release the gas in the second airbag 6 so that the second airbag 6 can be placed in the second groove A2 after being folded.

When the adult seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the second inflatable component 5 does not inflate the second airbag 6, or the second inflatable component 5 releases the gas in the second airbag 6, and the second airbag 6 is in a foldable state and is placed in the second groove A2. At this time, the side of the second airbag 6 and the side C of the backrest body 12 together constitute a leaning surface for an adult to lean on. When the child seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the second inflatable component 5 inflates the second airbag 6, and the second airbag 6 protrudes from the second groove A2. At this time, the child's head can be placed in the space between the two second airbags 6, and the two second airbags 6 can fit on the opposite sides of the child's head, and support and stabilize the child's head, which is conducive to increasing the protection effect surface for the child and improving the protection effect on the child's head. In this way, the seat 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be suitable for both older children and younger children.

It is understandable that the second airbag 6 is relatively soft. When the second airbag 6 is not inflated and placed in the second groove A2, it can avoid affecting the comfort of an adult leaning on the seat 100. When the second airbag 6 is inflated and protrudes from the second groove A2, it can improve the comfort of the child's head and provide better cushioning protection for the child's head when the child's head shakes (for example, caused by the shaking of the car or the child sleeping, etc.).

The arrangement of the second airbag 6 is not limited thereto. Optionally, the number of the second airbag 6 can also be one, in which case the second airbag 6 can be U-shaped when inflated to form a space for the child's head and protect the child's head.

In some examples, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 , the second inflatable assembly 5 includes: a second controller 51, a second air pump 52, a second wiring harness 53, and a second air pipe 54. One end of the second wiring harness 53 is connected to the second controller 51, and the other end of the second wiring harness 53 is connected to the second air pump 52. One end of the second air pipe 54 is in communication with the second air pump 52, and the other end of the second air pipe 54 is in communication with the second air bag 6, for example, the other end of the second air pipe 54 is in communication with both second air bags 6. The second controller 51 is used to control the second air pump 52 to inflate the second air bag 6, or to control the second air pump 52 to release the gas in the second air bag 6.

Exemplarily, when a child needs to sit in the seat 100, that is, when the child seat function of the seat 100 needs to be activated, the second controller 51 can generate a third control signal, and the third control signal is used to control the second air pump 52 to inflate the second air bag 6. The third control signal can be transmitted to the second air pump 52 via the second wiring harness 53. After receiving the third control signal, the second air pump 52 can inflate the second air bag 6 through the second air pipe 54, so that the second air bag 6 expands and bulges, and protrudes from the second groove A2, so as to protect the child's head with two second air bags 6.

Exemplarily, when an adult needs to sit in the seat 100, that is, when the adult seat function of the seat 100 needs to be activated, the second controller 51 can generate a fourth control signal, which is used to control the second air pump 52 to release the gas in the second air bag 6. The fourth control signal can be transmitted to the second air pump 52 via the second wiring harness 53. After receiving the fourth control signal, the second air pump 52 can release the gas in the second air bag 6 through the second air pipe 54, so as to fold the second air bag 6 and place it in the second groove A2 for the adult to lean on.

The embodiment of the present application can control the state of the second air bag 6 by providing the second controller 51, the second air pump 52, the second wiring harness 53 and the second air pipe 54, thereby realizing the switching between the child seat function and the adult seat function of the seat 100. Moreover, the second inflatable component 5 has a simple structure, which can avoid increasing costs.

Optionally, the function switching button is also connected to the second controller 51. When the function switching button is pressed, the working states of the first inflatable component 2 and the second inflatable component 5 can be controlled simultaneously, that is, the first airbag 3 and the second airbag 6 can be inflated synchronously, or the gas in the first airbag 3 and the second airbag 6 can be released synchronously. In this way, the switching efficiency of the functions of the seat 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the seat 100 further includes a second pressure sensor 10 disposed on the backrest body 12. The second pressure sensor 10 is used to detect a second pressure value borne by the backrest body 12. The second pressure value is, for example, given by a child leaning on the backrest body 12. The second pressure sensor 10 is coupled to the second controller 51. The second pressure sensor 10 can send the second pressure value detected by it to the second controller 51. The second controller 51 is also used to receive the second pressure value and adjust the inflation amount of the second air bag 6 according to the second pressure value.

Optionally, the second pressure sensor 10 and the second controller 51 may be connected in communication without direct contact; the second pressure value detected by the second pressure sensor 10 is directly sent to the second controller 51. Alternatively, the second pressure sensor 10 and the second controller 51 may also be physically connected through a corresponding wiring harness; the second pressure value detected by the second pressure sensor 10 is transmitted to the second controller 51 via the corresponding wiring harness.

Exemplarily, the corresponding relationship between the second pressure value and the inflation amount is stored in the second controller 51. In the embodiment of the present application, the inflation amount of the second air bag 6 can be adjusted by the second air pump 52. After receiving the second pressure value, the second controller 51 can search for the corresponding inflation amount in the above corresponding relationship according to the second pressure value, and generate a corresponding electrical signal to send to the second air pump 52, so that the second air pump 52 fills the second air bag 6 with a corresponding volume of gas.

Exemplarily, the second pressure value and the inflation amount are generally positively correlated. That is, the larger the second pressure value, the larger the inflation amount of the second air pump 52 to the second air bag 6. Optionally, according to the weight of different children, multiple second pressure value intervals can be divided, and the inflation amount corresponding to the same second pressure value interval is the same, and the inflation amount corresponding to different second pressure value intervals is different.

Different inflation amounts result in different pressures inside the second airbag 6, and accordingly, the second airbag 6 can provide different support forces for children. That is to say, the embodiment of the present application can cooperate with the second controller 51, the second air pump 52, etc. by setting the second pressure sensor 10, and adjust the inflation amount of the second air pump 52 to the second airbag 6 according to the pressure applied to the backrest body 12 by different children, thereby adjusting the internal pressure of the second airbag 6 and the support force provided for the child, so as to provide appropriate support forces for the heads of different children when the vehicle shakes, and prevent the children's heads from shaking greatly with the shaking of the vehicle.

It is understandable that the first controller 21 and the second controller 51 may be the same controller or different controllers. In addition, either the first controller 21 or the second controller 51 may be a vehicle domain controller or a cockpit domain controller or other controllers.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 and FIG7, the seat 100 further includes a detachable cushion cover 7, which is used to cover or expose the first groove A1. FIG8 (a) is an enlarged view of area B in FIG6. As shown in FIG8 (a), the detachable cushion cover 7 includes, for example, a first cover 71 and a first foam 72 adhered to the first cover 71. This is conducive to improving the softness of the detachable cushion cover 7.

When the adult seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the detachable seat cushion cover 7 can be set on the first groove A1 and cover the first air bag 3 located in the first groove A1. The first cover 71 in the detachable seat cushion cover 7 is located on the side of the first foam 72 away from the first air bag 3. At this time, when an adult sits on the seat 100, he can sit on the first air bag 3 through the detachable seat cushion cover 7, which is conducive to improving the flatness of the first seating surface and improving the comfort of the adult sitting on the seat 100.

When the child seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the detachable seat cushion cover 7 can be removed from the first air bag 3 to expose the first groove A1 and the first air bag 3 located in the first groove A1. This facilitates the inflated first air bag 3 to protrude from the first groove A1. Optionally, the detachable seat cushion cover 7 is connected to the cover of the seat 100, and after the detachable seat cushion cover 7 is removed from the first air bag 3, the detachable seat cushion cover 7 can be placed on the front side of the seat cushion body 11.

By providing a detachable seat cushion cover 7, the flexibility of the seat 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG6 and FIG7 , the seat 100 further includes a detachable backrest cover 8, which is used to cover or expose the second groove A2. FIG8 (b) is an enlarged view of the area E in FIG6 . As shown in FIG8 (b), the detachable backrest cover 8 includes, for example, a second cover 81 and a second foam 82 adhered to the second cover 81. This is conducive to improving the softness of the detachable backrest cover 8.

When the adult seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the detachable backrest cover 8 can be set on the second groove A2 and cover the second air bag 6 located in the second groove A2. The second surface cover 81 in the detachable backrest cover 8 is located on the side of the second foam 82 away from the second air bag 6. At this time, when an adult sits on the seat 100, he can lean on the second air bag 6 through the detachable backrest cover 8, which is conducive to improving the flatness of the leaning surface and improving the comfort of the adult sitting on the seat 100.

When the child seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the detachable backrest cover 8 can be removed from the second air bag 6 to expose the second groove A2 and the second air bag 6 located in the second groove A2. This facilitates the inflated second air bag 6 to protrude from the second groove A2. Optionally, the detachable backrest cover 8 is connected to the front cover of the seat 100, and after the detachable backrest cover 8 is removed from the second air bag 6, the detachable backrest cover 8 can be placed on the headrest.

By providing a detachable backrest cover 8 , the flexibility of the seat 100 can be improved.

In some embodiments, as shown in (a) and (b) of FIG8 , a first bottom foaming layer 91 is disposed in the first groove A1, and the first air bag 3 is located on the first bottom foaming layer 91. A second bottom foaming layer 92 is disposed in the second groove A2, and the second air bag 6 is located on the second bottom foaming layer 92.

Here, the thickness of the first face cover 71, the thickness of the first foam 72, the thickness of the second face cover 81, the thickness of the second foam 82, the thickness of the first bottom foam 91, the thickness of the second bottom foam 92, etc. can be selected and set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

Some embodiments of the present application also provide a seat. The seat can be applied to the above-mentioned vehicles as a seat in the vehicle. Figures 9 and 10 respectively show the structure of a seat. Figure 9 shows the state of the seat when an adult sits on the seat, and Figure 10 shows the state of the seat when a child sits on the seat.

As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the seat 100 includes a seat body 1 , a first inflatable component 2 and a first air bag 3 .

Exemplarily, the seat body 1 includes a cushion body 11, a backrest body 12 and an armrest 13. The cushion body 11 and the backrest body 12 have an angle, for example, an obtuse angle between the two. The cushion body 11 and the backrest body 12 both have a certain elasticity. There are two armrests 13, and the two armrests 13 are half located on both sides of the cushion body 11, and each armrest 13 is connected to the cushion body 11 and the backrest body 12. The cushion body 11 is used for passengers to sit, the backrest body 12 is used for passengers to lean on, and the armrests 13 are used to keep the passenger's body balance.

The cushion body 11 includes a base 111 and a cushion cover 112 located on the base 111. The cushion cover covers the base 111. Optionally, as shown in FIG11 , the cushion cover 112 includes a third cover 1121 and a third foam 1122 adhered to the third cover 1121, and the third cover 1121 is located on a side of the third foam 1122 away from the base 111. This is conducive to improving the softness of the cushion cover 112.

Exemplarily, the first airbag 3 is located between the base 111 and the seat cushion cover 112. For example, the first airbag 3 is detachably disposed between the base 111 and the seat cushion cover 112. Optionally, the shape of the first airbag 3 is a relatively regular shape, such as a rectangular parallelepiped. When the first airbag 3 is not inflated, the first airbag 3 is placed in a plane between the base 111 and the seat cushion cover 112, and basically does not occupy space at other positions. When the first airbag 3 is inflated, the first airbag 3 can swell and lift up the seat cushion cover 112, thereby raising the height of the seat cushion cover 112.

Exemplarily, the first inflatable component 2 is disposed in the seat cushion body 11, and the first inflatable component 2 is connected to the first air bag 3. In order to more clearly illustrate the first inflatable component 2, FIG9 and FIG10 draw the first inflatable component 2 outside the seat cushion body 11, but do not limit the setting position of the first inflatable component 2. The first inflatable component 2 is used to inflate the first air bag 3, so that the first air bag 3 expands and bulges, thereby raising the height of the seat cushion cover 112; or, the first inflatable component 2 is used to release the gas in the first air bag 3 to lower the height of the seat cushion cover 112.

The seat 100 has an adult seat function, that is, as shown in FIG9 , the first inflatable component 2 does not inflate the first air bag 3, or the first inflatable component 2 releases the gas in the first air bag 3. At this time, the height of the seat cushion cover 112 is relatively low, and the seat 100 can be used by adults. The seat 100 also has a child seat function, that is, as shown in FIG10 , the first inflatable component 2 inflates the first air bag 3, and the first air bag 3 bulges. At this time, the height of the seat cushion cover 112 is relatively high, and the seat 100 can be used by children. In this case, the seat 100 can be called an air cushion child seat.

That is to say, the embodiment of the present application improves the cushion body 11 in the seat body 1 with the armrest 13, and sets the first inflatable component 2 and the first air bag 3, and sets the first air bag 3 between the base 111 of the cushion body 11 and the cushion surface cover 112, so as to integrate the child seat into the above-mentioned seat 100, so that the seat 100 has both the function of a child seat and the function of an adult seat, so that there is no need to install a child seat additionally, not only there is no need to carry the child seat, but also when the child is not sitting in the seat 100, the space occupied can be reduced, so as to facilitate a good space experience.

In addition, after the first airbag 3 is inflated, the height of the seat cushion cover 112 is increased, and the child's riding height is also raised. This can expand the child's riding field and provide better visual comfort for the child. Moreover, after the child's riding height is raised, the child can also use the safety belt originally equipped with the seat 100 (that is, the safety belt for adults equipped with the shared seat 100 itself) to avoid strangling the child's neck and abdomen, thereby improving the child's safety. Furthermore, it can also avoid equipping a five-point safety belt, thereby avoiding increasing costs.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG9 and FIG10, the first inflation assembly 2 includes: a first controller 21, a first air pump 22, a first wiring harness 23 and a first air pipe 24. One end of the first wiring harness 23 is connected to the first controller 21, and the other end of the first wiring harness 23 is connected to the first air pump 22. One end of the first air pipe 24 is connected to the first air pump 22, and the other end of the first air pipe 24 is connected to the first air bag 3. The first controller 21 is used to control the first air pump 22 to inflate the first air bag 3, or to control the first air pump 22 to release the gas in the first air bag 3.

Exemplarily, when a child needs to sit in the seat 100, that is, when the child seat function of the seat 100 needs to be activated, the first controller 21 can generate a first control signal, and the first control signal is used to control the first air pump 22 to inflate the first air bag 3. The first control signal can be transmitted to the first air pump 22 via the first wiring harness 23. After receiving the first control signal, the first air pump 22 can inflate the first air bag 3 through the first air pipe 24, so that the first air bag 3 expands and bulges, and the height of the seat cushion cover 112 is raised to facilitate the child to sit.

Exemplarily, when an adult needs to sit in the seat 100, that is, when the adult seat function of the seat 100 needs to be activated, the first controller 21 can generate a second control signal, and the second control signal is used to control the first air pump 22 to release the gas in the first air bag 3. The second control signal can be transmitted to the first air pump 22 via the first wiring harness 23. After receiving the second control signal, the first air pump 22 can release the gas in the first air bag 3 through the first air pipe 24, lower the height of the seat cushion cover 112, and facilitate the adult to sit.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 , the seat 100 further includes a first pressure sensor 4 disposed on the seat cushion body 11. The first pressure sensor 4 is used to detect a first pressure value borne by the seat cushion body 11. The first pressure value is given by a passenger sitting on the seat 100. The first pressure sensor 4 is coupled to the first controller 21. The first pressure sensor 4 can send the first pressure value detected by it to the first controller 21. The first controller 21 is also used to receive the first pressure value and adjust the inflation amount of the first airbag 3 according to the first pressure value.

In some embodiments, the seat cushion cover 112 may be provided in a variety of ways, and the setting may be selected according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

Optionally, the seat cushion cover 112 is connected to the base 111. The seat cushion cover 112 has a certain elasticity, and when the child seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the seat cushion cover 112 can be elastically deformed as the first air bag 3 is inflated.

Optionally, the seat cushion cover 112 and the base 111 are independently arranged, and the seat cushion cover 112 is arranged on the upper surface of the first air bag 3. When the child seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the seat cushion cover 112 can move upward relative to the backrest body 12 as the first air bag 3 swells; when the adult seat function of the seat 100 is activated, the seat cushion cover 112 can move downward relative to the backrest body 12 as the gas in the first air bag 3 decreases.

Optionally, as shown in FIG11 , a third bottom foam 93 is provided between the base 111 and the first air bag 3. In the case where the seat cushion cover 112 includes the third foam 1122, the first air bag 3 is located between the two foams. When the adult seat function of the seat 100 is activated, it can be considered that the adult is sitting on the seat cushion composed of the third cover 1121, the third foam 1122 and the third bottom foam 93.

In some embodiments, the first inflatable component 2 is located in the base 111. Optionally, a cavity is provided in the base 111, and the first inflatable component 2 can be placed in the cavity; or, the base 111 encloses a certain space, and the first inflatable component 2 can be placed in the space. In this way, the space occupied by the first inflatable component 2 in the interior of the car can be reduced.

The embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for the above-mentioned seat, so that the user can conveniently use the above-mentioned seat to meet the user's usage needs. The control method for the seat can be executed by the control end of the vehicle, or by the control end in the seat (such as the first controller in Figure 3). The following example is taken as an example in which the control method for the seat is executed by the control end of the vehicle.

As shown in FIG. 12 , an embodiment of the present application provides a seat control method, which is applied to a control end of a vehicle. The method includes the following steps:

S101: Receive a start instruction for a second seat function (ie, a child seat function).

Before the user is ready to put the target passenger (including but not limited to children, and for example, adults with similar height and weight to children) on the seat in the vehicle, the user can start the second seat function by instructing the vehicle to switch the seat in the vehicle from the first seat to the second seat. In this way, the user can place the target passenger on the seat to ensure the safety of the target passenger during the driving of the vehicle.

In some embodiments, the user can issue a start command for the second seat function by voice. For example, the user can say "start the child seat" in the vehicle, and the control end of the vehicle can receive the start command for the second seat function issued by the user by voice recognition.

In some embodiments, a button or knob corresponding to the second seat function may be configured in the vehicle. Thus, after the user operates the button or knob corresponding to the second seat function, the control end of the vehicle may receive a start instruction of the second seat function issued by the user.

In some embodiments, the control end of the vehicle can establish a communication connection with the user's mobile terminal. After the user issues an activation instruction for the second seat function through an APP for controlling the vehicle on the mobile terminal, the control end of the vehicle can obtain the activation instruction for the second seat function from the mobile terminal.

S102 . In response to a start instruction of the second seat function, control the first inflatable assembly to inflate air into the first air bag, so that the seat switches from the first seat form to the second seat form.

In some embodiments, when the seat has the structure shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , controlling the seat to switch from the first seat form to the second seat form can be specifically implemented by controlling the first inflatable component 2 to inflate the first air bag 3 so that the first air bag 3 protrudes from the first groove A1. At this time, the upper surface of the first air bag 3 constitutes a second seating surface for children to sit on, and the seat 100 can be used for children to sit on. In this case, the seat 100 is switched to the form of an air cushion child seat.

Optionally, as shown in FIG. 13 , step S102 may be implemented as steps S1021 to S1022 .

S1021. In response to a start instruction of the second seat function, detect whether there is a passenger on the seat.

In some embodiments, the first pressure sensor may be used to detect whether there is a passenger on the seat. For example, a first pressure value detected by the first pressure sensor is obtained; it is determined whether the first pressure value is greater than a preset threshold; if the first pressure value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, it is determined that there is a passenger on the seat; if the first pressure value is less than the preset threshold, it is determined that there is no passenger on the seat.

Optionally, the preset threshold value may be determined according to the load-bearing capacity of the first airbag.

S1022: In response to detecting that there is no passenger in the seat, control the seat to switch from a first seat configuration to a second seat configuration.

In some embodiments, in response to detecting that there is no passenger on the seat, the first pressure sensor detects a second pressure value applied to the seat by the target passenger; the weight of the target passenger is determined according to the second pressure value; and the second inflation component adjusts the amount of gas filled into the first airbag according to the weight of the target passenger. In this way, the amount of gas filled into the first airbag is adaptively adjusted based on the weight of the target passenger, so that the shape and softness of the first airbag can better meet the needs of the target passenger, thereby improving the target passenger's experience of using the seat.

It should be understood that when there is a passenger on the seat, switching the seat's shape may cause damage to the seat. For example, the passenger may crush the first airbag that is being inflated. Therefore, by detecting whether there is a passenger on the seat and switching the seat's shape when there is no passenger on the seat, damage to the seat can be avoided and the service life of the seat can be increased.

Optionally, in the case where the seat includes a second air bag and a second pressure sensor, while obtaining the second pressure value detected by the first pressure sensor as being applied to the seat by the target passenger, the third pressure value detected by the second pressure sensor as being applied to the backrest body by the target passenger can also be obtained, and based on the third pressure value, the second inflation component adjusts the amount of gas to be filled into the second air bag.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 13 , the method further includes step S1023 .

S1023: In response to detecting that there is a passenger on the seat, issuing a prompt message for prompting that the second seat function has not been successfully started.

Optionally, the prompt information can be implemented in the form of voice, text, or light, without limitation.

In this way, the passenger on the seat can be reminded to stand up through the prompt information, so that after the passenger on the seat stands up, the seat can be smoothly switched from the first seat shape to the second seat shape.
