Description

BACKGROUND

Technical Field

The invention relates to a seat, and in particular, to a light-emitting seat for creating atmosphere.

Description of Related Art

With the vigorous development of the e-sports industry, various peripheral products related to e-sports emerge in large quantities. To pursue great game experience, professional e-sports players and most game players particularly demand the atmosphere and visual effects of entire games. With such demand, e-sports chairs came into being.

In addition to the pursuit of ultimate performance, those various e-sports related products launched on the market have a certain pursuit of cool and dazzling appearance. The disclosed patent with publication number CN108652308A discloses a seat with side strip lights, including a seat body and a side strip light module. The side strip lights are disposed along the outer edge curve of the cushion portion of the seat body or the outer edge curve of the seat body, and the visual effect of the gaming chair is enhanced through the light emission of the side strip light module, thereby satisfying the pursuit of cool and dazzling effects of the users. However, direct light emission through the side strip lights may fail to produce soft light, cause less visual comfort due to chronic exposure, and have poor visual effects, so the overall gaming chair appears not to be high-end. In addition, currently the light-emitting seats all require the installation of side strip lights on the finished chairs, which consumes a lot of manpower to install the side strip lights on each light-emitting seat and causes low production efficiency.

Preferably, the light-transmitting material is selected from one or more of mesh cloth, silica gel, and transparent plastic.

Preferably, the light-emitting seat further includes a control panel capable of receiving a signal to control a color and a sequence of light emitted by the strip light.

Preferably, the strip light can emit at least two colors of light, so that the entire light-emitting seat can be more colorful to meet the needs of the different users.

Preferably, the light guide material layer has various colors and may have combinations of color light when combined with the strip light to meet the needs of different users.

In the invention, the strip light is covered by the light guide material layer, so light is refracted in the light guide material layer, the light-emitting seat has soft light, great visual comfort, good visual effects, and the seat appears to be high-end. Compared to the strip light module disposed on the chair frame, the strip light module disposed on the bandages contributes to an effect that the strip light module can be disposed on the bandages at will, leading to more design freedom, and as the bandages are flexible, the user experience can be enhanced because the light alternately dims and brightens when a human being sits in the front of the back of the seat.
