[0038] Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described. The temperature adjustment device of this embodiment is figure 1 In the vehicle interior of the vehicle 1 shown, the warmth feeling of the occupant 3 seated in the driver's seat 2 is adjusted. The thermal adjustment device includes an air conditioning unit 5 arranged inside the damper 4 , a waist heater 6 , a thigh heater 7 , a calf heater 8 , and a thermal imager 9 mounted on the driver's seat 2 . Hereinafter, up, down, left, and right refer to up, down, left, and right in a vehicle.

[0039] The air conditioning unit 5 blows air whose temperature has been adjusted into the vehicle interior from defroster outlets 41 , face outlets 42 , and foot outlets 43 attached to the surface of the apron 4 .

[0040] The lumbar heater 6 is an electric heater provided on the front surface side of the seat back below the vertical center portion of the seat back of the driver's seat 2 . The waist heater 6 mainly heats the waist 3...

no. 2 approach

[0107] Next, a second embodiment will be described. Such as Figure 11 As shown, in this embodiment, a display device 60 and a touch panel 61 are added to the structure of the first embodiment.

[0108] The display device 60 is a device that allows an occupant of the vehicle to see an image. The display device 60 may be mounted on the instrument panel or fender of the vehicle, or may be mounted on the steering wheel. Alternatively, the display device 60 may also be a head-up display that utilizes the reflection of light in the windshield of the vehicle to make the occupant see an image as a virtual image in front of the windshield.

[0109] Alternatively, the display device 60 may be a terminal carried by an occupant of the vehicle. In this case, the air conditioner ECU 40 controls the display content of the display device 60 by performing wireless communication with the display device 60 .

[0110] The touch panel 61 is an operation device for the occupant to operate acco...

[0195] Next, a third embodiment will be described. Compared with the second embodiment, the air conditioner ECU 40 of this embodiment executes Figure 23 shown in the processing instead of Figure 17 processing. Others are the same as the second embodiment.

[0196] exist Figure 17 processing and Figure 23 In the processing, the same step number is attached to the step with the same processing content. Figure 23 processing in Figure 17 Step S210 is added to the processing of . Hereinafter, the difference from the second embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the same parts as the second embodiment will be omitted.

[0197] exist Figure 23 In the processing of , the air conditioner ECU 40 executes step S210 following step S205, and executes step S215 following step S210. In step S210 , the air conditioner ECU 40 calculates the required time to reach the target for the body part targeted for each body part control. The time required to reach t...

Abstract

This heat sensation adjustment device comprises: heat stimulation units (5, 6, 7, 8) configured to be able to change the distribution of heat stimulation for body parts by imparting heat stimulation to a plurality of body parts of an occupant; a selection unit (S110) for selecting one mode from two or more modes among a mode for quieting the mind, a mode for energizing the mind, a mode for quieting the body and a mode for energizing the body; and a stimulation control unit (S170) that controls the heat stimulation units on the basis of a target heat sensation distribution corresponding to the selected mode. Each target heat sensation distribution is data representing a plurality of heat sensation target values corresponding respectively to the plurality of body parts. The heat sensation target value corresponding to a particular body part, among the plurality of body parts, differs for each of the target heat sensation distributions. The stimulation control unit controls the heat stimulation units such that the heat stimulation imparted to a particular body part when one of the modes is selected differs from the heat stimulation imparted to the particular body part when another mode is selected by the selection unit.

Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application is based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-091518 filed on May 14, 2019 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-175660 filed on September 26, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The invention relates to a thermal sensation adjustment device. Background technique [0004] Patent Document 1 describes a control device that controls the operation of a warming sensation imparting device that independently imparts warming sensation to a plurality of body parts of a vehicle occupant. The control device judges, for each of the plurality of sites, whether the site is insufficient in thermal sensation or the site with sufficient thermal sensation is sufficient. Then, in the case of insufficient warming sensation, the control device controls the operation of the warming sensation imparting device so that the warming sensation is given priority to the ...
