The air bag damping mainly provides the seat damping function by the cross arm + air bag + damper + height adjusting valve, controls the hardness of the seat suspension by adjusting the damper, and controls the air bag inflation and deflation by adjusting the height valve, so as to achieve the height adjustment of the seat cushion.

[0004] However, the damping function of the mechanical damping is single, and for drivers of different weights, only one corresponding damping effect can be provided, which cannot meet the damping needs of different working conditions and personalized damping of drivers.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] The seat suspension air bag adjusting method provided in the embodiments of the present application can solve the problem that the air bag damping cannot adapt to different road conditions and various vibration amplitudes.

[0049] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 The seat suspension air bag adjusting method provided in the embodiments of the present application includes the following steps:

[0050] S1, when the vehicle is in a driving state, the vibration amplitude of the seat.

[0051] In this step, the vibration amplitude of the seat can be measured by the sensor 1. Specifically, the sensor 1 can be a displacement sensor, which obtains the relative displacement amount of the seat in the up-down direction relative to the vehicle body floor to obtain the vibration amplitude of the seat. Further, the displacement sensor is arranged on the seat.

[0052] S2, comparing the obtained vibration amplitude of the seat with a plurality of vibration amplitude intervals to obtain the air intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat air bag corresponding to the vibration amplitude interval where the obtained vibration amplitude is located.

[0053] In this step, the vibration amplitude interval is calibrated in advance, and each vibration amplitude interval corresponds to the air intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat air bag calibrated in advance.

[0054] Obviously, the more the number of vibration amplitude intervals, the narrower the range of vibration amplitude interval values, the more accurate the control of the air intake amount of the seat air bag, and the better the effect, but the higher the control difficulty; and the fewer the number of intervals, the wider the range of vibration amplitude interval values, the more rough the control of the air intake amount of the seat air bag, and the worse the control effect, but the lower the control difficulty.

[0055] Therefore, the number of the above vibration amplitude intervals can be determined according to actual needs.

[0056] For example, as an example, taking the design state as 0 point, the vibration amplitude interval includes: [0mm, A1), [A1, A2), [A2, A3), [A3, ±40mm).

[0057] It should be noted that A1, A2 and A3 are all amplitude values, and A1 < A2 < A3, and optionally, the interval of the vibration amplitude interval value can be 10 mm, that is, A1 is ±10 mm, A2 is ±20 mm, and A3 is ±30 mm; of course, the upper and lower limits and the number of the above interval values are only examples, the number of intervals should be expanded to multiple gears for charge and discharge volume control, and the upper limit of the value range is not necessarily 40 mm, and should be different according to the definition of different product development technical characteristics.

[0058] S3, adjusting the intake valve 2 to charge the seat air bag according to the intake amount.

[0059] Since each vibration amplitude interval corresponds to a pre-calibrated intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat air bag, the seat vibration amplitude point value measured under a certain working condition can be corresponded to a certain vibration amplitude interval, so as to obtain the intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat air bag.

[0060] The seat suspension air bag adjusting method provided by the embodiment of the application has the principle that the vehicle amplitude under various working conditions is obtained through the sensor 1, the air outlet amount of the air outlet of the intake valve 2 is controlled, and then the charge and discharge amount of the seat air bag is adjusted, so that the air bag height can be adjusted according to different seat vibration amplitudes under different road conditions.

[0061] The seat vibration amplitude is obtained during vehicle driving, and compared with each vibration amplitude interval, so as to obtain the intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat air bag, and then the intake valve 2 is adjusted to charge the seat air bag according to the corresponding intake amount, the height of the seat air bag is adjusted, and comfortable support force and position are provided for customers, so that the problem that the charge and discharge amount of the air bag in the air bag damping cannot adapt to different road conditions and various vibration amplitudes in the related art can be solved.

[0062] Further, in the above step S2, the embodiment of the application further comprises corresponding to calibrate the working gear of the intake valve 2 according to the obtained seat amplitude interval, and obtaining the intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat air bag corresponding to each working gear of the intake valve 2.

[0063] Specifically, one vibration amplitude interval corresponds to one working gear of the intake valve 2, as shown in Figure 2 According to the seat vibration amplitude obtained by the sensor 1, the controller judges the vibration amplitude interval into which the seat vibration amplitude falls.

[0064] For example, when the vibration amplitude falls into the interval [0mm, ±10mm), the vehicle operating condition is identified as high-speed, national road, and the driving environment is good, and the controller controls the intake valve 2 to be in the first gear; when the vibration amplitude falls into the interval [±10mm, ±20mm), the vehicle operating condition is identified as provincial road and county road, and the driving environment is general, and the controller controls the intake valve 2 to be in the second gear; when the vibration amplitude falls into the interval [±20mm, ±40mm), the vehicle operating condition is identified as construction site and foundation pit, and the driving environment is poor, and the controller controls the intake valve 2 to be in the third gear; specifically, the air charging and discharging amount of the seat airbag by the intake valve 2 is third gear > second gear > first gear.

[0065] In the above step S2, the step of obtaining the air intake amount corresponding to the vibration amplitude interval includes:

[0066] S201. In the vibration amplitude interval, select several vibration amplitude point values, and make the seat vibrate at a vibration amplitude;

[0067] For example, in the vibration amplitude interval [0mm, ±40mm), select three vibration amplitude values [0mm, ±10mm), [±10mm, ±20mm), and [±20mm, ±40mm).

[0068] S202. Charge the seat airbag.

[0069] S203. Adjust the air intake amount of the intake valve 2 into the seat airbag, and measure the seat vibration amplitude after the seat airbag is damped, and find the air intake amount when the seat vibration amplitude after damping is the smallest.

[0070] Specifically, keep the vibration amplitude unchanged, measure the damping effect of the seat airbag at different air intake amounts of the intake valve 2 into the seat airbag, and change different vibration amplitude point values, perform multiple experiments, and determine the air charging amount of the seat airbag when the damping effect is the best at the vibration amplitude.

[0071] S204. Similarly, find the air intake amount of the seat airbag when the seat vibration amplitude after damping is the smallest at each vibration amplitude point value.

[0072] S205. Based on the air intake amount when the seat vibration amplitude after damping is the lowest at each vibration amplitude point value, obtain the air intake amount of the seat airbag corresponding to the vibration amplitude interval.

[0073] Alternatively, a common optimization method can be used to process the air charging amount of the seat airbag by the intake valve 2 when the damping effect is the best at each vibration amplitude point value, to obtain the air charging amount of the seat airbag by the intake valve 2 corresponding to each vibration amplitude interval.

[0074] For example, the average value of the inflation volume of the air intake valve 2 on the seat airbag when the vibration reduction effect is best can be calculated at each vibration amplitude point value in a certain vibration amplitude range. This average inflation volume can be used as the inflation volume of the air intake valve 2 on the seat airbag corresponding to that vibration amplitude range.

[0075] Similarly, the inflation volume of the seat airbag corresponding to the intake valve 2 in other vibration amplitude ranges can be obtained.

[0076] Of course, other commonly used optimization methods can also be used, such as curve fitting, simulation, etc.

[0077] Because road conditions often change during vehicle operation, the vibration amplitude of the seat constantly changes, such as when driving from a flat road to a construction site, or vice versa. When a vehicle is traveling from a relatively flat road to a bumpy construction site, the seat vibration amplitude is smaller on the flat road, and the airbag intake is lower. However, upon entering a construction site, the seat vibration amplitude increases, and the airbag needs a higher intake to achieve better vibration damping. Therefore, to solve this problem, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 As shown, this application also provides a strategy for adaptively controlling the air intake valve to inflate the seat airbag. Specifically, after inflating the seat airbag, the method further includes the following steps:

[0078] S401, periodically acquire the vibration amplitude of the seat.

[0079] Specifically, the period size can be set according to actual needs, such as acquiring the vibration amplitude of the seat once every 2 minutes or once every 5 minutes.

[0080] S402. Compare the vibration amplitude obtained in the current cycle with several vibration amplitude intervals to obtain the vibration amplitude interval in which the vibration amplitude obtained in the current cycle is located.

[0081] S403. Determine whether the vibration amplitude range obtained in the current cycle is the same as the vibration amplitude range obtained in the previous cycle.

[0082] S404. If the same, do not adjust the amount of air intake valve 2 that fills the seat airbag.

[0083] S405. If they are not the same, adjust the air intake valve 2 to fill the seat airbag with air so that the air intake is the air intake corresponding to the vibration amplitude range in which the vibration amplitude obtained in the current cycle is located.

[0084] The strategy of adaptively controlling the air intake amount of the seat air bag by the air intake valve can better adaptively adjust the air intake amount of the seat air bag by the air intake valve 2 according to the current driving road condition of the vehicle when the vibration amplitude information of the seat is acquired in time, adapt different vibration amplitudes of the seat under different operating conditions, and provide comfortable support force and position for the passenger and comfortable driving experience for the customer.

[0085] Based on the seat suspension adjustment method, as shown in Figures 5 to 7 The embodiment of the present application also provides a seat suspension adjustment system, which comprises a sensor 1 and a controller, wherein the sensor is used to acquire the vibration amplitude of the seat; the controller is used to compare the acquired vibration amplitude with a plurality of vibration amplitude intervals, obtain the air intake amount of the seat air bag corresponding to the vibration amplitude interval where the acquired vibration amplitude is located through the air intake valve 2, and adjust the air intake valve 2 to charge the seat air bag according to the air intake amount.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, the sensor 1 is arranged on the seat to acquire the vibration amplitude of the seat; as shown in Figure 5 The air intake valve 2 comprises an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22, the air inlet 21 is connected in communication with the air source, and the air outlet 22 is connected in communication with the seat air bag.

[0087] It should be noted that the air inlet 21 of the air intake valve 2 is connected in communication with the air source, the air amount of the air source entering the air inlet 21 is constant, and the controller controls the air amount of the air outlet 22 of the air intake valve 2 to control the air intake amount of the seat air bag by the air intake valve 2. Optionally, the air source is a gas cylinder mounted on the vehicle body.

[0088] Optionally, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 The air intake valve 2 comprises a moving valve body 3 and a static valve body 4, the moving valve body 3 is movably arranged in the static valve body 4, the axis of the moving valve body 3 is parallel to the axis of the static valve body 4, the air inlet 21 is arranged on the static valve body 4, and an air inlet passage is arranged between the moving valve body 3 and the static valve body 4.
