[0038] [Disposition and structure of coil spring]

[0039] First, the arrangement and structure of the coil spring of this embodiment will be described. figure 1 It is a schematic side view of a vehicle seat in which a coil spring according to the present embodiment is disposed in a forward-tilted state. figure 2 yes figure 1 An enlarged view of the interior of circle II. image 3 It is a schematic side view of a vehicle seat in a reclined state equipped with the same coil spring. Figure 4 for image 3 An enlarged view of the interior of circle IV.

[0040] Such as figure 1 , image 3 As shown, the vehicle seat 8 has a seat cushion 80 (indicated by a dot-dash line for convenience of description) and a seat back 81 (indicated by a dot-dash line for convenience of description). The seat cushion 80 has a plate-like cushion frame 800 made of steel. A pair of cushion frames 800 are arranged on the left and right sides. Cushion frame 800 is attached to a vehicle floor (no...

[0056] The coil spring of this embodiment differs from the coil spring of the first embodiment in that a contact inducing member is arranged. Only the differences are described here. Figure 8 It is a side view of the coil spring which concerns on this embodiment in the reclining state. Also, use the same notation as Figure 4 corresponding parts.

[0057] Such as Figure 8 As shown, the contact inducing member 23 is arranged on the inner side of the scroll portion 21 in the radial direction. The contact inducing member 23 has a round rod shape (needle shape) with a short axis. The contact induction member 23 contacts the wrap portion 21 from the radially inner side. The inner reference portion D is arranged at the junction of the contact induction member 23 and the wrap portion 21 .

[0058] The portion of the coil spring 1 of the present embodiment having the same structure as that of the coil spring 1 of the first embodiment has the same effect. In addition, accordin...

Embodiment example

[0068] Next, explain the relative Figure 4 The coil spring 1 of the first embodiment shown has the results of FEM (finite element analysis) analysis performed on a coil spring (Example 1) of the same shape.

[0069]

[0070] Analysis is performed using commercially available software. In the analysis process, it is also necessary to consider the contact between the spring material S and the objects (the inner object 3 and the outer object 4 ) and the contact between the spring materials.

[0071]

[0072] Figure 9 The relationship between the position of the inner contact portion and the stress increase rate in the maximum deformation state in Example 1 is shown. In addition, the so-called stress increase rate is the maximum value of the stress of the coil spring 1 when the stress design value is 100%. When the moment is M, the lateral width (band width) of the spring material S is b, and the plate thickness of the spring material S is h, the design value σ is calcula...

Abstract

The present invention provides a coil spring capable of reducing the maximum value of stress and reducing variation in stress distribution. The coil spring (1) can be elastically deformed from a minimum deformation state to a maximum deformation state. In the state of maximum deformation, it is configured with: a non-contact section, in which section, at least a part of adjacent parts of the spring material S in the radial direction do not contact each other; a contact section C, in which the spring material S Adjacent portions in the radial direction are all in contact with each other. In the state of maximum deformation, a straight line connecting the scroll center O of the scroll portion (21) and the outer contact portion B where the outer end portion (22) contacts the outer object (4) is taken as a reference Line, along the extension direction of the scroll portion (21), the inner reference portion is arranged in the section where the center angle of the scroll portion (21) is greater than 80° and less than 160° and radially inward of the scroll portion (21). a. The contact section C is arranged on the radially outer side of the inner reference portion A. As shown in FIG.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a coil spring applied to, for example, a seat back of a vehicle seat, a reversing mechanism, a seat belt winding mechanism, and the like. Background technique [0002] As shown in Patent Documents 1 and 2, coil springs are used in vehicle seats. That is, the vehicle seat has a seat back. The seat back can be rocked in the front-rear direction. The coil spring applies a force in a forward leaning direction to the seat back in a reclined state. [0003] Along with the rocking of the seat back, the coil spring is elastically deformed. Therefore, the coil spring generates stress. For example, in the maximum deformation state in which the deformation amount in the winding direction is the largest relative to the natural state (unloaded state), compressive stress is generated on the radially inner side of the spring material, and tensile stress is generated on the radially outer side. The strength of the coil spring is s...
