Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a seating system for train coaches designed for enhancing passenger comfort, safety, and convenience during travel by enabling personalized adjustments, improved environmental control, and better accessibility for individuals with varying mobility needs.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Train travel, especially over long distances, requires systems that prioritize passenger comfort, hygiene, privacy, and safety. Present seating and sleeping arrangements often fall short in addressing the specific needs of diverse passengers, including the elderly and differently-abled. Environmental discomforts such as heat, insects, and lack of privacy further reduce the quality of travel. Individuals with varying mobility needs face several challenges while seating in train coaches, including difficulty in accessing seats due to narrow aisles and fixed layouts that do not accommodate wheelchairs or walking aids. The height and rigidity of standard seats make it hard for elderly or differently-abled passengers to sit down or rise without assistance. Lack of supportive handrails or armrests further hampers safe movement. Additionally, upper berths are inaccessible without ladders, posing a risk of injury. Inadequate space for maneuvering, absence of ergonomic seating, and insufficient assistance systems contribute to discomfort, reduced independence, and increased risk during travel.

[0003] Traditionally, train coaches have been equipped with fixed seats and foldable berths that offer limited adaptability to the posture or needs of passengers. Mosquito nets, curtains, or fans are sometimes manually provided, but their use is inconsistent and inconvenient. Safety for personal belongings is usually dependent on vigilance rather than secure systems. Air circulation is generally managed through overhead fans or centralized AC, offering no personalized control. Assistance for elderly or differently-abled individuals is also lacking, with no specialized provisions to aid movement or accessibility. These conventional practices fail to ensure a uniformly comfortable and safe journey for all passengers.

[0004] CN2456985Y discloses a hard-seat carriage is provided with a plurality of seat units, both sides of a longitudinal passageway of each unit are provided with two rows of seats which are arranged relatively and can be inclined to be about 120 DEG, both sides of the longitudinal passageway between each two adjacent units are respectively provided with a straight ladder and a supporting frame which extend upwards, the supporting frame is relatively provided with two rows of seats which can be inclined to be about 120 DEG, and the seat directions of the seats on the supporting frame and the seats which are arranged just under the supporting frame are opposite. The utility model has the advantages that a backrest of each seat can be inclined to be about 120 DEG without changing the outer structure of a carriage body of the carriage. The number of the seats in the carriage is not decreased, and the number is increased slightly under the condition of enhancing the seat comfort.

[0005] US3877746A discloses a reversible seat is provided for trains, buses, vehicles and the like wherein there is provided a rockably base unit and can be rocked or manually moved to cause a back rest to shift to different positions. In addition, as the base unit is rocked or moved, the seat will be shifted to assume different inclined positions corresponding to the locations of the back rest.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems have been developed to improve specific aspects of train travel, however these existing systems mentioned in prior art have limitations pertaining to offering customizable or automated features that adapt to individual requirements, and also inadequate provision for air circulation specific to each seat, effective mosquito/insect protection, or secure storage for belongings. Additionally, the existing systems for the elderly and differently-abled are insufficient, making movement within the coach and access to upper berths difficult and unsafe.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a system that requires to be capable of providing features such as adjustable seating/sleeping arrangements, personalized air circulation, and providing secure storage of belongings beneath seats and accessible support for elderly or differently-abled passengers. Additionally, the developed system also needs to be capable of delivering a more inclusive, comfortable, and secure travel experience by unifying these features into a single user-centric design.

[0023] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0024] The present invention relates to a seating system for train coaches developed for improving passenger experience by providing increased comfort, secure handling of personal belongings, better environmental conditions, and convenient access for those with mobility challenges during travel.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a seating system for train coaches is illustrated, comprising a seating arrangement 101 resembling train coach seats, a microphone 102 integrated with the system, each seat mounted on a vertical slider 103 via hinge joints 104, a motorized roller 105 installed along the outer edge of each seat, equipped with a mosquito net 106 rolled around the roller 105, a curtain deployment arrangement installed along the bottom periphery of each seat, the curtain deployment arrangement includes a horizontal rod 107 mounted with the seat, configured to support a plurality of retractable links 108 connected with spindles holding noise-reducing and light-blocking curtains 109, a pulley assembly 110 comprising vertical and horizontal pulleys positioned at corners of the structural frame.

[0026] Figure 1 further illustrates a plurality of motorized fans 111 installed along the bottom periphery of each seat, a pair of pneumatic L-shaped plates 112 installed beneath the lowest seat of the system on both the front and side sections, a fingerprint sensor 113 installed on the seat side, an assisted elevation arrangement mounted on the side periphery of the seating arrangement 101, the assisted elevation arrangement mounted includes a motorized vertical slider 114 attached to the side structure of the seating arrangement 101 via a motorized ball and socket joint 115, a semi-circular slider 116 mounted on the vertical slider 114, configured to support a retractable seat-like unit 117, a set of conduits 118 and nozzles 119 are integrated within seats and connected to an air-inflating unit 120 provided with the seating arrangement 101, a hollow cavity 121 carved within each seat, housing a horizontal panel 122.

[0027] The disclosed system herein comprises of a seating arrangement 101 structurally configured to replicate standard train coach seats, each seat being mechanically mounted on a vertical slider 103 through hinge joints 104, enabling adjustable positioning along the vertical axis. A microphone 102 is integrated within the system to receive user-generated voice inputs, which are processed for the purpose of actuating seat adjustments and other associated functionalities.

[0028] The seating arrangement 101 functions by allowing train passengers to sit or recline comfortably during travel. Each seat is connected to an inbuilt microcontroller that receives input either through manual switch or voice command and subsequently activates the vertical slider 103. Upon actuation, the seat repositions itself vertically or reclines at varying angles based on hinge joint allowances. The microphone 102 operates by capturing voice input from the user, typically placed within audible proximity of the seated passenger.

[0029] Upon activation by the microcontroller, the microphone 102 converts analog sound signals into digital data, which is transmitted to an onboard processor. The processor uses speech recognition protocols to interpret command phrases relevant to seat adjustment, such as “raise seat” or “recline back.” Once the command is authenticated, the processor sends electrical signals to the motorized unit controlling the seating arrangement 101.

[0030] The microphone 102 contains a small diaphragm connected to a moving coil. When sound waves of the user hit the diaphragm, the coil vibrates. This causes the coil to move back and forth in the magnet's field, generating an electrical current. The signal of which are sent to the microcontroller for processing the input voice command of the user regarding control seating adjustments and related functionalities.

[0031] The vertical slider 103 herein is a mechanical guide rail aligned perpendicularly to the seat base, enabling smooth vertical displacement of the seating structure. When a control signal via voice command or manual input is received, a motor engages to move the seat frame along the vertical slider 103. The seat travels upward or downward with the aid of a low-friction track and support bearings to minimize resistance. The vertical slider 103 in conjunction with the hinge joints 104 facilitates smooth elevation-based motion of the seats.

[0032] The hinge joints 104 are pivotally mounted between the seat frame and the vertical slider 103, allowing angular movement of the seat during adjustment. When a signal for recline or incline is received, the hinge joints 104 facilitate rotation of the seat backrest or base around the pivot axis. A controlled actuator modulates the angular displacement of the hinge, allowing a gradual change in seating angle. The microcontroller maintains the desired angle for customizable comfort settings while maintaining safety, especially during motion or emergency braking in train environments.

[0033] A motorized roller 105 installed along the outer edge of each seat, the roller 105 configured to accommodate a mosquito net 106 rolled around the roller 105 to forming a protective barrier against mosquitoes. The roller 105 is integrated with a compact electric motor enabling rotational motion for controlled deployment and retraction of the mosquito net 106. The roller 105 further comprises a user-operable manual control interface including deployment and retraction buttons located on or near the seat frame, thereby facilitating operation of the mosquito net 106 independent of voice recognition, ensuring continued usability in the event of automated control failure.

[0034] The motorized roller 105 functions through an integrated low-voltage electric motor that rotates a central spindle upon receiving activation input via manual control buttons. When the deployment button is pressed, the motor rotates the spindle in a direction that unrolls the mosquito net 106 from the roller’s housing along a guided track, forming a vertical barrier. The motorized roller 105 comprises a disc coupled with a motor via a shaft integrated within a hub, wherein upon receiving the command from the manual control buttons by the motor, the motor starts to rotate in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction in order to provide movement to the disc via the shaft. The roller 105 thus rotates the mosquito net 106, forming a vertical barrier.

[0035] A curtain deployment arrangement configured along the bottom periphery of each seat, functions by enclosing the passenger seat using curtains 109. The curtain deployment arrangement comprises of a horizontal rod 107 rigidly mounted above the structural frame of the seat, a pulley assembly 110 comprising vertical and horizontal pulleys positioned at corners of the structural frame, and a plurality of motorized fans 111 installed along the bottom periphery of each seat. The rod 107 operates as a foundational support for the curtain deployment arrangement. The rod 107 facilitates stable anchoring of a plurality of retractable links 108 associated with spindles holding noise-reducing and light-blocking curtains 109.

[0036] During deployment, the rod 107 maintains fixed alignment, allowing the retractable links 108 to extend or retract the spindles. The rod 107 ensures mechanical integrity and even distribution of weight during curtain movement. Upon activation from the microcontroller, the pulley assembly 110 drives the links 108 to extend linearly or rotationally, thereby rotating the spindles and unrolling the curtains 109 downward and along the frame.

[0037] Additionally, a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensor is electrically connected to the microcontroller and continuously monitors ambient light intensity in the vicinity of the seat. When light levels drop below a predefined threshold such as during nighttime or in dark conditions the resistance of the LDR changes, prompting the microcontroller to trigger an actuation signal to the pulley assembly 110. This signal initiates automatic deployment of the curtain arrangement.

[0038] Upon receiving activation signals from a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) sensor detecting low-light conditions or manual input by the user, the microcontroller initiates the pulley assembly 110 to unroll noise-reducing, light-blocking curtains 109 around the seat. The pulley assembly 110 comprises vertical and horizontal pulleys at the corners of the structural frame. The pulleys are mechanically linked to cords attached to the retractable links 108 and spindles.

[0039] Upon receiving electrical control signals from the microcontroller, the pulley motors actuate to rotate the pulleys in a specified direction. This results in tensioning or slackening of the cords, causing the connected retractable links 108 to either deploy or retract the curtains 109. The horizontal pulleys control lateral movement, while vertical pulleys manage downward extension. Together, they enable synchronized deployment or withdrawal of the curtain arrangement across all sides.

[0040] Post successful deployment of seat curtains 109, the microcontroller actuates the plurality of motorized fans 111 mounted along the bottom periphery of each seat, configured to deliver localized and directed airflow to enhance ventilation in the vicinity of the passenger seating area., Further, each fan comprises a controllable drive unit that facilitates variable-speed operation, with speed being regulated either via passenger-issued voice commands or automatically adjusted in response to real-time ambient temperature readings as acquired by an integrated temperature sensor.

[0041] The temperature sensor is integrated within the seating system, continuously monitors ambient temperature in the seating vicinity. The sensor transmits real-time data to the microcontroller through an analog or digital signal. The microcontroller interprets this data to determine if current temperature exceeds predefined comfort thresholds. If so, the microcontroller initiates fan activation and dynamically adjusts fan speed in proportion to temperature fluctuations.

[0042] The plurality of motorized fans 111 mentioned herein receives operational signals from a microcontroller that continuously monitors curtain status and temperature inputs. When curtains 109 are deployed, the microcontroller actuates the fans 111 to begin airflow for ventilation. Fan motors operate through an internal drive circuit that supports variable-speed control. Based on temperature values from the sensor or user-issued voice commands, the microcontroller adjusts the speed of each fan accordingly using pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. The fans 111 circulate air around the seating area to reduce heat buildup, ensuring thermal comfort.

[0043] A hollow cavity 121 carved within each seat, housing a horizontal panel 122 configured to slide outward dimensioned to receive and retain the horizontal panel 122 in a retracted position. Upon extension, the panel 122 engages with a corresponding cavity 121 and panel 122 in an adjacent seat, thereby forming a continuous, stable, bed-like support platform. The mechanical integration of the horizontal panel 122 within the cavity 121 ensures secure deployment and retraction, facilitating seamless conversion between individual seating and a shared resting configuration suitable for accommodating multiple passengers traveling collectively.

[0044] The hollow cavity 121 includes a linear guide along which the panel 122 is able to slide. The cavity 121 provides structural alignment and mechanical support to the horizontal panel 122 during both storage and deployment. Upon initiation of deployment, the cavity 121 directs the panel 122 outward to interlock with the adjacent seat cavity 121, thus enabling the transformation of the seating structure into a flat surface. When fully extended and joined, the panels 122 collectively create a bed-like frame that spans multiple seat spaces. The horizontal panel 122 thereby facilitates quick conversion between a seat and a bed-like frame for passenger comfort.

[0045] A pair of pneumatic L-shaped plates 112 is configured beneath the lowest seat of the seating system, with one plate positioned on the front section and the other on the side section of the seat. Each plate is structurally configured to extend and retract via an integrated pneumatic actuator, and is fabricated from a rigid, durable material to ensure stability and endurance under dynamic loads. The plates 112 are designed to offer mechanical reinforcement to the seating arrangement 101 and concurrently act as retractable covers for the underlying luggage area, thereby optimizing both structural integrity and utility functionality during transit.

[0046] The pneumatic L-shaped plates 112 operate through a compressed air unit linked to pneumatic actuators embedded within each plate. Upon activation by the microcontroller, air pressure is delivered to the actuators, causing the plates 112 to extend outward from their retracted position beneath the lowest seat. When fully extended, the plates 112 assume an L-shaped configuration, forming vertical and horizontal surfaces that both support the seat structure above and conceal the luggage compartment below.

[0047] Furthermore, a fingerprint sensor 113 is securely installed on the side periphery of the seating arrangement 101, to authenticate the identity of the user through biometric fingerprint recognition. Upon successful authentication, the microcontroller triggers the deactivation of the pneumatic luggage securing plates 112 integrated within the luggage compartment area, thereby enabling authorized retrieval of the user’s luggage. The microcontroller ensures that only the individual whose biometric credentials are registered within the system is granted access, thereby maintaining a secure and controlled luggage management environment within the train coach.

[0048] The fingerprint sensor 113 herein captures the unique ridge patterns of a user’s fingertip through capacitive scanning upon contact. The scanned data is converted into a digital image and transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller compares the captured fingerprint against pre-stored biometric templates in its database. If a match is detected, an authentication signal is generated and sent to the actuator, which disengages the pneumatic pressure applied to the securing plates 112. This deactivation releases the luggage from its locked position.

[0049] An assisted elevation arrangement installed on the side periphery of the seating arrangement 101 is provided to facilitate access to upper berths by elderly or differently-abled passengers. The assisted elevation arrangement comprises a motorized vertical slider 114 affixed to the side structure of the seating arrangement 101 through a motorized ball and socket joint 115, and a semi-circular slider 116 operatively mounted on the motorized vertical slider 114. The assisted elevation arrangement operates by activating the motorized vertical slider 114 which vertically displaces the semi-circular slider 116 and the attached a retractable seat-like unit 117.

[0050] When the passenger initiates the system either through manual or automated control, the motor lifts the vertical slider 114 to the required height. Simultaneously, the semi-circular slider 116 ensures lateral and angular movement aligned with the passenger’s ergonomic posture. The combined movement allows smooth and secure transition of the passenger from the lower berth level to the upper berth position. The motorized vertical slider 114 herein functions through an integrated electric motor that powers a linear actuation system to produce vertical displacement.

[0051] Upon receiving a command signal, the motor drives a lead screw that incrementally raises or lowers the slider 114 along a fixed track installed on the side structure of the seating arrangement 101. The vertical motion facilitates lifting of the semi-circular slider 116 and the passenger support unit. The movement is precise, stable, and controlled to ensure user safety and consistent positioning during operation, especially in the dynamic environment of a moving train.

[0052] The motorized ball and socket joint 115 herein enables controlled angular adjustment of the vertical slider 114 relative to the seat frame. When actuated, a micro-motor housed within the joint 115 applies torque to rotate the socket component around the ball, thus permitting tilt and rotational motion in multiple directions. This feature allows the vertical slider 114 to realign itself to maintain ergonomic orientation during vertical ascent or descent. The joint 115 compensates for body posture changes and spatial constraints within the coach, ensuring a smooth and customized adjustment that enhances user comfort and system flexibility during operation.

[0053] The semi-circular slider 116 operates as a curved guiding track that holds and stabilizes the retractable seat-like unit 117. When elevation begins, the semi-circular slider 116 moves in coordination with the vertical slider 114, maintaining consistent arc motion to support the passenger. The semi-circular slider 116 allows horizontal and rotational alignment of the seat to aid safe boarding and disembarking. The geometry of the semi-circular track ensures that the seat remains balanced throughout its path, mitigating risk of abrupt movement and enabling smoother transitions between different levels within the coach interior.

[0054] The microcontroller configured to serve as the central processing unit for the seating system, the microcontroller being operatively connected to and programmed for managing, controlling, and synchronizing the actuation, operation, and functional coordination of one or more electrically driven components integrated within the seating system. The microcontroller receives electronic signals, processes the signals based on user-defined inputs, and transmits corresponding control signals to execute required mechanical or electronic functions to ensure synchronized, reliable, and responsive operation of the system components.

[0055] The microcontroller continuously receives data signals from the system’s integrated sensors. Based on predefined firmware logic, it processes these inputs in real time and generates appropriate control outputs to activate corresponding actuators, such as motors for seat adjustment, curtain deployment arrangement, or mosquito net 106 rollers 105. The microcontroller ensures proper sequence and timing of operations by managing signal flow and preventing command conflicts. The microcontroller also performs error-checking, stores relevant operational data, and facilitates communication to maintain seamless and coordinated operation of the seating system.

[0056] An environmental sensor is integrated with each seat, configured to continuously monitor the ambient temperature conditions surrounding the respective seat. Upon detection of a temperature value exceeding a pre-defined threshold, particularly when the curtain deployment arrangement is activated, the sensor communicates the detected data to the microcontroller. The microcontroller generates an actuation signal to automatically trigger the fans 111 to operate at a pre-set cooling intensity to maintain thermal comfort for the occupant.

[0057] The environmental sensor continuously monitors the ambient temperature in the vicinity of the seat and transmits real-time data to the microcontroller. When the sensor detects that the temperature exceeds a threshold value especially under enclosed conditions due to deployed curtains 109 it sends an electrical signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller interprets the data and accordingly activates the fans 111 to operate at a cooling intensity sufficient to regulate the thermal environment.

[0058] A proximity sensor is installed along the bottom periphery of the seat to detect the presence of luggage positioned beneath the seat. Upon detection of an object within a predefined proximity threshold, the sensor transmits an electronic signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller actuates pneumatic plates 112 configured to extend downward or laterally, thereby enclosing and securing the luggage compartment. This actuation ensures the safety, containment, and protection of user belongings during travel, preventing displacement, unauthorized handling, or accidental damage of stored items.

[0059] The proximity sensor continuously emits electromagnetic waves toward the area beneath the seat. When a physical object, such as luggage, enters the designated detection zone, the emitted signals are reflected back to the sensor receiver. Upon receiving the reflected signals, the sensor generates a detection signal that is relayed to the microcontroller. The microcontroller interprets the signal and sends actuation commands to the pneumatic plates 112 to extend for securing the luggage. The sensor remains active throughout the journey, ensuring real-time monitoring and responsive action.

[0060] A set of conduits 118 and nozzles 119 is integrated within the seating arrangement 101, each in fluid communication with an air-inflating unit 120 connected to the seat arrangement 101. The conduits 118 are routed internally through the seat body and terminate in nozzles 119 strategically positioned beneath cushioning materials, particularly in the headrest region. The air- inflating unit 120 is configured to receive a voice command from the user, upon which it activates to deliver controlled air pressure through the conduits 118. The delivered air is expelled via the nozzles 119 to inflate the cushioning fabric, thereby providing adjustable, personalized head comfort to the user.

[0061] The set of conduits 118 functions as internal air pathways embedded within the seat frame, designed to route pressurized air from the air- inflating unit 120 to specific zones of the seat cushioning. The nozzles 119, affixed at the terminal points of these conduits 118, regulate the release of air into the cushioning compartments. Upon activation of the inflating unit 120, air travels through the conduits 118 and is discharged via the nozzles 119, causing expansion of the cushioning material, particularly at the headrest. The conduits 118 maintain pressure integrity while the nozzles 119 ensure uniform distribution of air, thereby enabling localized inflation for user-specific ergonomic support.

[0062] A user-interface is inbuilt within a computing unit that is configured to be accessed by a passenger onboard a transportation vehicle. The user-interface is adapted to receive input from the passenger regarding personal information, including, but not limited to, name, intended stoppage points, and the number of individuals traveling in the group. The user interface is accessed by the passenger that includes but is not limited to a smartphone and laptop for enabling the passenger to input commands regarding intended stoppage points, and total group size.

[0063] The computing unit is linked with the microcontroller via an integrated communication module that includes but is not limited to a GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module, a Wi-Fi module, or a Bluetooth module which is capable of establishing a wireless network between the microcontroller and the computing unit. The computing unit used herein is capable of computing operations according to the user’s desire with the help of the user interface.

[0064] Moreover, a battery is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes known as a cathode and an anode. A voltage is generated between the anode and cathode via oxidation/reduction and thus produces the electrical energy to provide to the system.

[0065] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the system as disclosed above is installed within the train coach and configured to enhance safety, comfort, and accessibility for all passengers. The seating arrangement 101 includes the train coach seats mounted on the vertical slider 103 via the hinge joints 104, enabling smooth positional adjustment. Each seat is equipped with the motorized roller 105 along its outer edge, configured with the mosquito net 106 rolled around it and deployable either through the manual control buttons or via commands processed by the microcontroller. The curtain deployment arrangement is mounted along the bottom periphery of the seat and includes the horizontal rod 107 supporting the retractable links 108 and spindles for noise-reducing and light-blocking curtains 109, actuated by the pulley assembly 110 upon receiving signals from the LDR sensor or the user. The microcontroller further operates the motorized fans 111 installed at the bottom periphery, which are automatically activated upon curtain deployment or high temperature detected by the environmental sensor. The hollow cavity 121 within each seat contains the horizontal panel 122 that slides outward to interconnect with adjacent seats to form a bed-like structure. The pneumatic L-shaped plates 112 are deployed upon luggage detection via the proximity sensor, while the fingerprint sensor 113 ensures secure luggage retrieval. The assisted elevation arrangement, air- inflating unit 120, and user-interface are all managed by the microcontroller for synchronized, automated passenger assistance.

[0066] Although the field of the invention has been described herein with limited reference to specific embodiments, this description is not meant to be construed in a limiting sense.
