Review on the Recent Development of Vehicle Seat Patent

Background: Seat is an important product in work and life, the rationality of its design directly affects people's work efficiency and physical and mental health. Especially in modern vehicles, it has become an inevitable trend to use ergonomics to design the seat of modern vehicles. This paper describes the recent research and development of seat patents based on ergonomics and tries to put forward improvement schemes for the disadvantages of existing vehicle seats. Objective: We summarized the technical contributions made by the existing vehicle seat patent achievements and summarize the existing problems or blank areas not reported. Through the comparison and discussion, the future research direction of the vehicle seat is predicted. Methods: Through tracing the patent varieties of different types of representative seats, the analysis and comparison are carried out from various angles. Results: According to the analysis of recent seat patents, the design of modern seats has gradually formed a scientific, systematic, and standardized system. Conclusion: The structural parameters and materials of seats have been closely combined with the safety and comfort of seats. With the development of science and technology and the innovation of theory, the seats of modern vehicles will develop in the direction of functionality and personalization.
