Abstract

The present invention provides an ISOFIX interface structure of a vehicle seat. The ISOFIX interface structure of the vehicle seat comprises a shroud mounting base and two ISOFIX shrouds. Two mounting holes are formed in the shroud mounting base, and the mounting holes are penetrated from front to rear. The two ISOFIX shrouds can correspondingly be inserted into the corresponding mounting holes and can be detachably mounted on the shroud mounting base. According to the ISOFIX interface structure of the vehicle seat, the structure is novel, neat, attractive, and easy to realize. The problem is that conventional ISOFIX interfaces collapse surrounding seat foam when being installed. Here, consistency of the two ISOFIX interfaces on the same vehicle seat is guaranteed, the subsequent installation of a child safety seat is convenient, and the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the child safety seat can be effectively improved.

Claims (21)

1. A vehicle seat ISOFIX interface structure, comprising: a mounting seat and two mounting covers, said mounting seat defining two longitudinal through-mounting holes and comprising a support connecting portion, said two mounting covers adapted to be inserted into the two through-mounting holes and detachably mounted on the mounting seat, wherein said mounting seat has two forwardly projecting portions corresponding to and surrounding said two through-mounting holes.

2. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein said two forwardly projecting portions are located at end portions of said support connecting portion.

3. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a front portion and rearwardly extending insert portion, the rearwardly extending insert portion adapted to engage the corresponding through-mounting hole.

4. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 3 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has a connector to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

5. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 4 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an elastic plate structure to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

6. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 4 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an outwardly extending engagement boss to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

7. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging portion disposed around its periphery.

8. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging structure disposed therein.

9. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 1 , further comprising a seat frame coupled to a back of the support connecting portion, wherein each of said two through-mounting holes provide access to the seat frame.

10. The ISOFIX interface structure according to claim 2 , wherein said support connecting portion is configured to be covered with seat foam.

11. A vehicle seat, comprising:

a vehicle seat ISOFIX interface structure, comprising: a mounting seat and two mounting covers, said mounting seat defining two longitudinal through-mounting holes and comprising a support connecting portion, said two mounting covers adapted to be inserted into the two through-mounting holes and detachably mounted on the mounting seat, wherein said mounting seat has two forwardly projecting portions corresponding to and surrounding said two through-mounting holes.

12. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein said two forwardly projecting portions are located at end portions of said support connecting portion.

13. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a front portion and rearwardly extending insert portion, the rearwardly extending insert portion adapted to engage the corresponding through-mounting hole.

14. The vehicle seat according to claim 13 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has a connector to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

15. The vehicle seat according to claim 14 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an elastic plate structure to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

16. The vehicle seat according to claim 14 , wherein each rearwardly extending insert portion has an outwardly extending engagement boss to engage the mounting seat within the corresponding through-mounting hole.

17. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging portion disposed around its periphery.

18. The vehicle seat according to claim 11 , wherein each of said mounting covers has a cap engaging structure disposed therein.

19. The vehicle seat according to claim 12 , further comprising a seat frame coupled to a back of the support connecting portion of said ISOFIX interface structure, wherein each of said two through-mounting holes provide access to the seat frame.

20. The vehicle seat according to claim 12 , wherein said support connecting portion is configured to be covered with seat foam.
