Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive seat testing technology, specifically to a rotary point conversion mechanism and an H-point measuring device for automotive large-angle seats, which can be applied to both new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of automotive seat design and ergonomic optimization, accurate measurement of the H-point (the imaginary point where the seat contacts the human body after the driver or passenger sits down, usually corresponding to the center of the hip joint) is crucial. It directly determines the driver's field of vision, riding comfort, ease of operation, and driving safety, and is a core element in ensuring that the seat meets ergonomic requirements and guarantees driving safety and experience.
[0003] Currently, the internationally accepted H-point measurement equipment consists of first-generation and second-generation HPM devices, both used to measure the H-point position of a seat. However, these two generations of HPM devices have significant technical limitations, making them difficult to meet practical application requirements: the measurable backrest angle is limited, with a measurement range of only about 26 degrees; and when the backrest is opened at a large angle, a discontinuity occurs between the backrest and the buttocks, such as... Figure 17 , Figure 18 As shown, this affects the accuracy of the measurement data, further limiting its application in measuring the H-point of seats with large angle adjustments. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the technical problems mentioned in the background art above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a rotary point conversion mechanism and an H-point measuring device for automobile large-angle seats.
[0005] To achieve the objectives of this invention, the technical solution provided by this invention is as follows:
[0006] First aspect
[0007] This invention provides a rotation point conversion mechanism, including a fixed bracket mounted on the buttock back plate and a first H-point rotating shaft and a second H-point rotating shaft;
[0008] The fixed bracket is provided with a first arc-shaped hole and a second arc-shaped hole on its left and right sides, respectively. The first arc-shaped hole extends from the lower left to the upper right, and the second arc-shaped hole extends from the top to the bottom.
[0009] The first H-point pivot and the second H-point pivot are installed at the lower end of the linkage structure, and the linkage mechanism is connected to the lumbar back plate, the hip back plate, and the pelvic back plate.
[0010] The lower end of the linkage mechanism is provided with a first H-point rotating shaft and a second H-point rotating shaft passing through the first arc-shaped hole on the left and right sides respectively.
[0011] When the measuring device back is in the 0° position, the first H-point pivot is located at the lower end of the first arc-shaped hole and the second H-point pivot is located at the upper end of the second arc-shaped hole.
[0012] As the measuring device backrest changes from the 0° position to the 26° position, the position of the first H-point rotating shaft in the first arc-shaped hole remains unchanged, while the second H-point rotating shaft moves from the upper end of the second arc-shaped hole to the lower end of the second arc-shaped hole.
[0013] As the measuring device backrest changes from the 0° position to the 26° position, the position of the second H-point rotating shaft in the second arc-shaped hole remains unchanged, while the first H-point rotating shaft moves from the lower end of the first arc-shaped hole to the upper end of the first arc-shaped hole.
[0014] Second aspect
[0015] This invention provides a device for measuring the H-point of a car seat with a large angle, including the aforementioned rotation point conversion mechanism.
[0016] Furthermore, it includes a backrest assembly, a hip assembly, and a leg assembly connected in sequence.
[0017] Furthermore, the backrest assembly includes a lumbar backrest, a hip backrest, and a pelvic backrest, and the hip assembly includes a hip backrest.
[0018] Furthermore, the linkage mechanism includes an intermediate connecting bracket, a main shaft movable bracket, a main shaft movable bracket, a lower connecting bracket, and a main shaft; the first H-point rotating shaft passes through the lower end of the lower connecting bracket, the first through hole at the lower end of the main shaft movable bracket, and the first arc-shaped hole; the second H-point rotating shaft passes through the lower end of the lower connecting bracket, the second through hole at the lower end of the main shaft movable bracket, and the second arc-shaped hole; the upper end of the lower connecting bracket is connected to the intermediate connecting bracket, the intermediate connecting bracket is connected to the main shaft movable bracket, the main shaft movable bracket is connected to the main shaft, and the lower end of the main shaft is connected to the upper end of the main shaft movable bracket.
[0019] Furthermore, the main shaft movable bracket is connected to the chest back plate via the thoracic connecting bracket; the intermediate connecting bracket is connected to the lumbar back plate via the lumbar connecting bracket; the lower connecting bracket is connected to the pelvic back plate via the pelvic connecting bracket; and the hip back plate is connected to the leg assembly via the hip connecting bracket.
[0020] Furthermore, a lower fixing bracket is installed on the buttock back plate, and a buttock configuration block connecting shaft for installing the buttock counterweight is provided on the lower fixing bracket.
[0021] Furthermore, a main shaft connecting bracket is provided on the main shaft, and a first backrest counterweight connecting rod is provided on the main shaft connecting bracket. The first backrest counterweight connecting rod is used to install the backrest counterweight.
[0022] Furthermore, a second backrest counterweight connecting rod is provided on both sides of the intermediate connecting bracket, and the second backrest counterweight connecting rod is used to install the backrest counterweight.
[0023] Furthermore, the hip counterweight and the backrest counterweight are installed symmetrically.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0025] (1) It solves the bottleneck that the existing two generations of HPM devices can only cover a measurement angle of about 26°, supports H-point measurement of seat backs at large angles (such as 90° as shown in the document), greatly expands the applicable scenarios of the device, and meets the testing needs of large-angle adjustable seats.
[0026] (2) Through the coordinated movement of the first H-point pivot, the second H-point pivot and the corresponding arc hole, as well as the linkage design of the linkage mechanism and each back plate, the problem of the gap between the backrest and the buttocks when the backrest is opened at a large angle is completely eliminated, ensuring the consistency of the device with the simulated human sitting posture during the measurement process.
[0027] (3) On the one hand, within the original 0°-26° measurement range, the motion state of the device is consistent with that of the traditional HPM device, ensuring the compatibility and continuity of historical measurement data; on the other hand, the seamless design in large-angle scenarios avoids measurement deviations caused by the fitting gap, improving the accuracy and reliability of H-point measurement in the full angle range.
[0028] (4) By using symmetrically installed buttock counterweights, backrest counterweights, and linkage mechanisms to synchronously control the waist, buttocks, and pelvic backplate, the force state and posture changes of the human body after sitting down can be simulated more accurately, further ensuring the consistency between the H-point measurement results and the actual driving and riding scenarios.
[0029] (5) It innovatively integrates the backrest structure of the second-generation HPM device with the hip and leg structure of the first-generation HPM device, without the need to completely reconstruct the measurement equipment. It achieves functional upgrades on the basis of inheriting the existing technological advantages, reducing the cost of technology implementation and equipment iteration. Attached Figure Description
