Multi-hardness cushion for automobile and multi-hardness cushion having ventilation structure
Disclosed herein is a multi-hardness cushion having a ventilation structure. This includes a support cushion having an insert recess, and stepped portions formed on both sides of the insert recess; a friction cushion detachably provided in the insert recess and having locking parts locked to the stepped portions; a first ventilation unit having a first air flow channel provided in the insert recess, a plurality of first side flow channels provided in the stepped portions, and an air inlet opening provided in the first air flow channel; and a second ventilation unit having a second air flow channel formed in the friction cushion to face the first air flow channel, a plurality of second air flow holes formed along the second air flow channel to penetrate the friction cushion, and a plurality of second side flow holes formed in the locking parts.
1. A seat cushion, comprising:
a support cushion having an insert recess with stepped portions, wherein the stepped portions include regions that are elevated relative to other portions of the insert recess, and are formed on laterally opposing sides of the insert recess;
a friction cushion configured to be detachably inserted into the insert recess, and having a locking part configured to be locked to each of the stepped portions in an assembled state;
a first ventilation unit having a first air flow channel provided in the insert recess, a plurality of first side flow channels provided in each of the stepped portions, and an air inlet opening provided in the first air flow channel; and
a second ventilation unit having a second air flow channel formed in the friction cushion and facing the first air flow channel in the assembled state, a plurality of second air flow holes leading out of the second air flow channel, and a plurality of second side flow holes formed in each of the locking parts and aligned with the first side flow channels in the assembled state,
wherein in the assembled state, the support cushion and the friction cushion comprise the first and second ventilation units and make up the seat cushion, air is enabled to flow from the air inlet opening into the first and second air flow channels, the first side flow channels, and the second side flow holes, and air is enabled to flow from the second air flow channel into the second air flow holes.
2. The seat cushion according to claim 1 , wherein
the first air flow channel is formed in the insert recess on a front of the support cushion,
the second air flow channel is formed on a rear of the friction cushion, and
in the assembled state, the first and second air flow channels define an air flow path through which air introduced into the air inlet opening is enabled to flow.
3. The seat cushion according to claim 1 , further comprising an elastic air pipe installed in the first air flow channel, and configured to inhibit a gap between the first and second air flow channels from narrowing in response to a compressive force being applied to the friction cushion.
4. The seat cushion according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second air flow channels are formed using mold block coating.
5. The seat cushion according to claim 1 , further comprising a seating detection sensor provided between the support cushion and the friction cushion, and configured to detect whether a passenger is seated on the friction cushion.
