[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0020] The components of the embodiments of the present application generally described and illustrated in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in a variety of different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but rather merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Hereinafter, the terms "including", "having" and their cognates, which may be used in various embodiments of the present application, are intended only to indicate specific features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components or combinations of the foregoing items, and should not be understood as first excluding the existence of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components or combinations of the foregoing items or the possibility of adding one or more features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components or combinations of the foregoing items.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are merely used for distinguishing descriptions and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the various embodiments of the present application belong. The terms (such as those defined in generally used dictionaries) will be interpreted as having the same meaning as in the context of the relevant technical field and will not be interpreted as having an idealized meaning or an overly formal meaning unless clearly defined in the various embodiments of the present application.

[0024] The following describes some embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0025] Example 1 A multifunctional adjustment device provided in an embodiment of the present application includes: a controller and a wiring harness structure 3; the controller includes a controller body 1 and a device panel 2, the device panel 2 is arranged on the controller body 1 and is integrated with a function button group, and the controller body 1 is also provided with a control module group; wherein, the control module group is used to control the actuator in the vehicle that matches the function button group; the wiring harness structure 3 is arranged inside the controller body 1, and is electrically connected to the function button group and the control module group respectively.

[0026] Throughout the device, the wiring harness structure 3 is installed inside the controller body 1, allowing for a largely concealed installation and reducing the space occupied by the harness. The function button group and control module group are also integrated into the controller body 1, enabling the entire device to be installed and removed in one piece. This compact, integrated design reduces interior space usage and offers greater flexibility for optimizing interior layouts, making it particularly suitable for small vehicles with limited space.

[0027] When a user operates a function button cluster, the signal is first transmitted via the wiring harness to the main control module. The main control module filters, amplifies, and digitizes the signal before generating a control command based on a pre-set control algorithm. The command is then transmitted via an internal bus to the corresponding functional submodule, which converts it into a PWM, analog voltage, or digital signal to drive the actuator. By integrating multiple seat functions into a single control unit, users no longer need to operate multiple devices separately, significantly simplifying the operation process and significantly improving the user experience.

[0028] In some embodiments, the controller body is provided with mounting slots 11 running through both sides thereof; the shape of the mounting slots 11 matches the shape of the wiring harness structure 3 so that the wiring harness structure 3 can be mounted in the mounting slots 11. Figures 1 to 4 The mounting groove 11 is a through groove that runs through both sides of the controller body 1. The overall shape of the mounting groove 11 is adapted to the shape of the wiring harness structure 3. For example, the overall shape of the wiring harness structure 3 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and the shape of the mounting groove 11 is a rectangular parallelepiped that is slightly larger than the wiring harness structure 3, so that the wiring harness structure 3 can be easily installed into the mounting groove 11 or quickly removed from the mounting groove 11.

[0029] In some embodiments, the wiring harness structure 3 includes: a wiring box 32 and a wiring board 31. The number of wiring boxes 32 matches the number of function buttons in the function button group, and the extension direction of each wiring box 32 is consistent with the penetration direction of the mounting slot 11; the interior of each wiring box 32 is used to arrange wires. There are two wiring boards 31, and the extension direction of each wiring board 31 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the wiring box 32. Two wiring boards 31 are respectively connected to the ends of each wiring box 32; the ends of each wire pass through the wiring board 31 and are electrically connected to the controller body 1 and the function button group.

[0030] In the wiring harness structure 3, each function button corresponds to an independent wiring box, forming a physically isolated wiring channel to avoid cross-entanglement of wires with different functions. For example, the wires for seat heating and ventilation functions are arranged in independent wiring boxes respectively, reducing the risk of signal crosstalk. In addition, the wiring board 31 vertically connects the two ends of the wiring box 32, so that the wires can connect the controller body 1 and the function button group without detours, avoiding wire entanglement. The wiring box 32 and the wiring board 31 can be prefabricated as independent components and quickly connected by snaps or welding during assembly. Each wiring box 32 corresponds to a single function button. When a signal abnormality occurs, the specific wiring box 32 can be quickly located.

[0031] In some embodiments, the device panel 2 is disposed on a side of the controller body 1; and the function button group is disposed on the cable panel 31 of the two cable panels 3, which is closer to the device panel 2. That is, the function button group is generally disposed on both sides of the seat for user convenience.

[0032] In some embodiments, the function button group includes multiple function buttons, each of which is a physical button (physical button) and / or a virtual button (an icon displayed on a display screen). The multiple function buttons include, but are not limited to, a ventilation button 21, a heating button 22, a massage button 23, a recline button 24, and a reset button 25. The control module group includes multiple control modules, each of which includes ventilation modules, heating modules, massage modules, recline modules, and reset modules that match the multiple function buttons. The actuator includes ventilation mechanisms, heating mechanisms, massage mechanisms, recline mechanisms, and reset mechanisms that match the multiple control modules.

[0033] During use, a user enters the vehicle and sits on a seat. When there is a need to adjust the seat function, the user touches the corresponding function button on the screen of the device panel 2, such as the ventilation button 21, heating button 22, massage button 23, one-touch recline button 24, or one-touch reset button 25. When the user feels that the temperature inside the vehicle is high and wants to turn on the seat ventilation function, the user presses the ventilation button 21. At this time, the button is triggered and generates a corresponding electrical signal. The electrical signal generated by the button on the device panel 2 is transmitted to the control module 4 through the pre-laid line in the wiring harness structure 3. After receiving the signal from the device panel 2, the microprocessor inside the control module 4 starts to work. The microprocessor identifies the function instruction corresponding to the input signal. If the signal received is the signal from the ventilation button 21, the microprocessor knows that the user wants to turn on the seat ventilation function. Then, the microprocessor transmits the signal to the signal conversion circuit. The signal conversion circuit converts the signal from the microprocessor into a control instruction in a specific format according to the interface requirements of the corresponding seat function module. The processed and converted control instruction is transmitted through the connection line between the control module 4 and the corresponding seat function module. After receiving the control instruction, the corresponding seat function module performs the corresponding operation.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device panel 2 adopts a touch screen or physical button design and supports customized function layout. In addition, the surface of the device panel 2 is made of anti-fingerprint and anti-scratch materials. By adopting a touch screen or physical button design, the operating habits of different users are met.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the control module 4 includes a microprocessor and a signal conversion circuit. The microprocessor receives the input signal of the device panel 2 and converts it into a control instruction through the signal conversion circuit. In addition, the control module 4 supports multiple control modes. The control module 4 with a microprocessor as the core can quickly and accurately receive various input signals from the device panel 2. When the user presses the ventilation button 21, the microprocessor can quickly identify the electrical signal characteristics corresponding to the button, thereby determining that the user's operating intention is to turn on the seat ventilation function.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the wiring harness structure 3 adopts an optimized wiring design to reduce the line length and the number of connection points, and the wiring harness structure 3 supports CAN bus communication. By reducing the line length, the attenuation of the signal during transmission can be directly reduced. When the signal is transmitted in the cable, the signal strength will gradually weaken as the transmission distance increases. A shorter line means that the signal can still maintain a strong strength when it reaches the control module 4 or the seat function module, thereby ensuring that the signal can be accurately identified and processed.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the device panel 2 and the control module 4 adopt an integrated design. The integrated design reduces the number of connecting components and interfaces between the two, reduces the probability of failure due to loose connections, poor contact and other problems, and thus improves the stability and reliability of the entire adjustment device system.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the control command transmission between the control module 4 and the corresponding functional module of the seat adopts wireless transmission or wired transmission. Wireless transmission can get rid of the constraints of cables, making the installation position of the seat functional module more flexible. In the design and layout of the car seat, the functional module can be placed in the appropriate position more freely without being restricted by the length and direction of the cable.

[0039] Example 2 The present embodiment discloses a cab, comprising the above-mentioned multifunctional adjustment device and a seat, wherein the functional adjustment device is provided on one side of the seat, and the preset function of the seat is realized by the functional adjustment device. The wiring harness structure 3 is installed inside the controller body 1, which can realize the hidden installation of most of the wiring harness and reduce the space occupied by the wiring harness. At the same time, the function button group and the control module group are integrated and installed on the controller body, which can realize the integrated installation or disassembly of the entire device. The compact integrated design reduces the space occupied in the vehicle and provides more possibilities for optimizing the interior layout of the vehicle, which is especially suitable for small vehicles with limited space.

[0040] Example 3 This embodiment discloses a vehicle comprising the aforementioned cab and actuators, wherein the control module group controls and adjusts the corresponding actuators based on the function button group. The actuators include, but are not limited to, ventilation, heating, massage, seat reclining, and reset mechanisms.

[0041] In the several embodiments provided in this application, it should be understood that the disclosed devices and methods can also be implemented in other ways. The device embodiments described above are merely schematic. For example, the flowcharts and structure diagrams in the accompanying drawings show the possible architectures, functions and operations of the devices, methods and computer program products according to the multiple embodiments of the present application. In this regard, each box in the flowchart or block diagram can represent a module, a program segment or a part of the code, and the module, program segment or a part of the code contains one or more executable instructions for implementing the specified logical functions. It should also be noted that in an alternative implementation, the functions marked in the box can also occur in an order different from that marked in the accompanying drawings. For example, two consecutive boxes can actually be executed substantially in parallel, and they can sometimes be executed in the opposite order, depending on the functions involved. It should also be noted that each box in the structure diagram and / or flowchart, and the combination of boxes in the structure diagram and / or flowchart, can be implemented using a dedicated hardware-based system that performs the specified function or action, or can be implemented using a combination of dedicated hardware and computer instructions.

[0042] In addition, the functional modules or units in the various embodiments of the present application can be integrated together to form an independent part, or each module can exist independently, or two or more modules can be integrated to form an independent part.

[0043] If the functions are implemented in the form of software function modules and sold or used as independent products, they can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. Based on this understanding, the technical solution of the present application, or the part that contributes to the prior art, or the part of the technical solution, can be embodied in the form of a software product. The computer software product is stored in a storage medium and includes a number of instructions for enabling a computer device (which can be a smart phone, personal computer, server, or network device, etc.) to execute all or part of the steps of the method described in each embodiment of the present application. The aforementioned storage medium includes: various media that can store program codes, such as a USB flash drive, a mobile hard disk, a read-only memory (ROM), a random access memory (RAM), a magnetic disk, or an optical disk.

[0044] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical scope disclosed in this application, which should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
