Problems solved by technology

Conventional rotary motors are often used for seat actuation, and typical operation causes noisy "tooth" movement in the gear track
Additionally, the rotary motor is characterized by a slow motion, thereby introducing delay into the vehicle seat adjustment process

Embodiment Construction

[0014] The following detailed description is merely illustrative in nature and is not intended to limit the subject embodiments or the application and uses of these embodiments. As used herein, the word "exemplary" means "serving as an example, instance, or illustration." Any implementation described herein as exemplary is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description.

[0015] The subject matter presented herein relates to systems and methods for variable seat adjustment using linear electromagnetic actuation techniques (eg, electromagnetic rails or linear motors) that eliminate the use of conventional rotary motors for seat actuation. This reduces motor noise and "tooth" movement when running on the gear track. Furthermore, the actuation strate...

Abstract

A method for adjusting a vehicle seat onboard a vehicle is provided. The method obtains vehicle status data, by a processor communicatively coupled to a plurality of sensors onboard the vehicle; detects a current actuation state of the vehicle seat based on the vehicle status data, by the processor, wherein the current actuation state comprises at least one of a user input actuation state and an emergency actuation state; calculates seat adjustments, by the processor, based on the current actuation state; and actuates the vehicle seat based on the seat adjustments, via an electromagnetic vehicle seat rail device communicatively coupled to the processor.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the subject matter described herein relate generally to automotive seat adjustment. More specifically, embodiments of the present subject matter relate to using electromagnetic track technology to perform car seat adjustments. Background technique [0002] Car seats are typically adjustable in response to user input. Vehicle seat adjustment may be performed by the user as a manual operation, and some vehicle seating systems are provided with battery powered automatic controls for seat adjustment. Conventional rotary motors are commonly used for seat actuation, and typical operation causes noisy "tooth" movement in the gear track. Additionally, rotary motors are characterized by slow motion, thereby introducing delay into the vehicle seat adjustment process. [0003] Accordingly, it is desirable to reduce user discomfort, delay, and noise associated with vehicle seat adjustments. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristi...
