Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of automobile seats and intelligent cockpits, and in particular to the field of seats capable of recognizing the body shape of passengers. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, more and more car models have seat massage functions. However, if you want to start the system comfort adaptive adjustment to achieve better comfort and intelligent customer experience, you need to identify the height and body shape of the occupants. There are two existing technical routes, namely, the occupant body shape recognition solution based on pressure sensors / pressure distribution pads and the member body shape recognition solution based on cameras.
[0003] Chinese patent CN111907458A provides a pneumatic identification device for the body weight of a seat occupant and a pneumatic identification seat, wherein the pneumatic identification device includes a control unit and a sensor device; the sensor device includes a pneumatic sensor device and an auxiliary sensor device; the pneumatic sensor device includes at least one soft elastic hollow structure and a sensor unit; the soft elastic hollow structure is connected to a first air pressure sensor, and the first air pressure sensor is used to detect a first air pressure value Pa in the soft elastic hollow structure; the control unit is configured to compare the first air pressure value Pa with a standard set value and output the human weight type accordingly; the auxiliary sensor device includes a pressure-bearing top plate and a towing bottom plate respectively installed on the two end surfaces of the soft elastic hollow structure.

A method for identifying occupant body shape based on a multi-point massage system, It is characterized in that The steps include: S1) performing no-load calibration on a designated area where the massage airbag is located, and recording no-load calibration data of the designated area, wherein the designated area includes: a back area, a waist area, a flank area, and a buttocks area; S2) inflating the massage airbags in the back area, determining the human back departure line according to the relationship between the inflation flow and pressure of the massage airbags and time, and starting a corresponding massage program; S3) inflating the massage airbags in the buttocks area, and estimating the load according to the relationship between the inflation flow rate and pressure of the massage airbags and time; S4) acquiring seat adjustment data of a seat memory controller; S5) estimating occupant weight information according to the seat adjustment data and the borne load; S6) adaptively adjusting the massage airbags in the designated area according to the human back departure line and the occupant weight information; Wherein, the back region includes: a first back region and a second back region, and the first back region is arranged above the second back region; Determining the back departure line of the human body from the seat body and starting the corresponding massage program further includes: S21) inflating the massage airbags in the first back region, and obtaining the inflation flow and pressure of the massage airbags in the first back region versus time; S22) comparing the inflation flow and pressure of the massage airbags in the first back area with the calibration data, if they are less than the calibration data, the back departure line is at or above the first back area, and the first massage program is run, the first massage program is to run the massage airbags in the back area, otherwise, proceed to the next step; S23) inflating the massage airbags in the second back area, and obtaining the inflation flow rate and pressure of the massage airbags in the second back area versus time; S24) Compare the inflation flow and pressure of the massage airbags in the second back area with the calibration data; if they are less than the calibration data, the back departure line is between the first back area and the second back area, and a second massage program is run, and the second massage program is to run the massage airbags in the waist area and the back area; otherwise, the back departure line is below the second back area, and a third massage program is run, and the third massage program is to run the massage airbags in the waist area.
4. The method for recognizing the body shape of an occupant based on a multi-point massage system according to claim 3, It is characterized in that The step S1 of no-load calibration further comprises: S11) obtaining an occupancy detection signal and an engine ignition signal; S12) if there is no occupancy detection signal and engine ignition signal, execute the next step, otherwise execute the previous step; S13) performing an inflation and deflation cycle on the designated area.
5. The method for recognizing the body shape of an occupant based on a multi-point massage system according to claim 3, It is characterized in that The adaptive adjustment further comprises: Adjusting the ejection amount of the massage airbags in the wing area; The ejection amount of the massage airbags in the waist area is adjusted.
6. The method for recognizing the body shape of an occupant based on a multi-point massage system according to claim 5, It is characterized in that The step of adjusting the ejection amount of the massage airbags in the wing area further comprises: Assessing the body shape of the occupant based on the relationship between the back departure line of the human body and the weight information, and adjusting the massage airbags in the wing area; The massage air bags in the wing areas are inflated and deflated until a comfortable theoretical air pressure is reached.
7. The method for recognizing the body shape of an occupant based on a multi-point massage system according to claim 5, It is characterized in that The step of adjusting the ejection amount of the massage airbags in the waist area further comprises: estimating the waist height of a human body based on the human back departure line and the seat adjustment data; The massage air bag in the waist area is inflated and deflated until a comfortable theoretical air pressure is reached.
