Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle seat for a vehicle and an arrangement for a vehicle, the arrangement including such a vehicle seat. Background Technology

[0002] Vehicle seats can be adjustable to allow them to adapt to various users and use cases within the vehicle.

[0003] For example, longitudinal adjustment mechanisms are commonly used to adjust the longitudinal position of vehicle seats in a vehicle. For instance, with the aid of a longitudinal adjustment mechanism, the vehicle seat is arranged on two pairs of guide rails, with one pair of guide rails on each lateral side of the vehicle seat, so that it can be displaced relative to the vehicle floor, so that the longitudinal position of the vehicle seat can be adjusted by displacing the upper rail of the pair of guide rails relative to the lower rail of the pair of guide rails.

[0004] As another example, the height adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of the seat's height relative to the vehicle floor.

[0005] Furthermore, the vehicle seats can be adjustable to present an easy-access configuration and / or a fold-flat configuration. In the easy-access configuration, it facilitates entry (and exit) from behind the vehicle seats. In the fold-flat position, the seat backs can be folded down onto the seat portion to provide storage space or a table, etc.

[0006] CN 116039469 A describes a vehicle seat that allows its backrest to be folded down on its seat portion so as to serve as a leg rest for a user of another vehicle seat located behind a foldable vehicle seat.

[0007] However, it has been found that the availability of known vehicle seats is limited. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide an improved vehicle seat.

[0009] This objective is achieved by a vehicle seat having the features described in claim 1.

[0010] Therefore, the vehicle seat includes a base, a seat portion, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the seat portion relative to the base, and includes a link that supports the seat portion on the base and is pivotally mounted on a component of the base or the seat portion about a pivot axis. The vehicle seat further includes a lowering mechanism configured to adjust the position of the link relative to the pivot axis of the component.

[0011] This allows the seat portion to be adjusted relative to the base using the adjustment mechanism, and additionally adjusted by the lowering mechanism. Furthermore, it allows the seat portion to be lowered closer to the base to provide, for example, a folded-flat configuration with a particularly low upper surface that can be comfortably used, for example, as a leg rest for a user of another vehicle seat behind the seat. Moreover, this configuration allows the vehicle seat to be moved below the dashboard, etc. Therefore, by increasing the range of adjustability through the additional lowering mechanism, the usability of the vehicle seat is increased, thus providing an improved vehicle seat. For example, the lowering mechanism is configured to selectively lower at least a section of the seat portion toward the base to a lowered position, or raise said at least a section of the seat portion away from the base to a raised position.

[0012] For example, the component includes a slot. The pivot shaft can be guided by, for example, arranged within, the slot. This arrangement allows for precise and wide adjustability while providing high structural stability and safety.

[0013] The slot can extend in a straight line. This allows for a simple construction of, for example, the drive unit of the lowering mechanism. Furthermore, it prevents components of the lowering mechanism from getting stuck. Alternatively, the slot can have at least one curve.

[0014] According to one example, the slot is oriented such that the pivot axis is adjustable within the slot between its two ends, for example, to selectively lower at least a portion of the seat portion toward the base to the lowered position or to raise at least a portion of the seat portion away from the base to the raised position. This allows for a particularly flat configuration of the vehicle seat.

[0015] The lowering mechanism may include an electric motor for displacing the linkage relative to the pivot axis of the component. This allows for comfortable adjustment. Alternatively or additionally, manual adjustment may be provided.

[0016] According to one example, the lowering mechanism includes a spindle. The spindle can be driven by the electric motor. This drive unit, including both an electric motor and a spindle, allows for robust design and comfortable adjustment.

[0017] A support section can be fixed to the main shaft. The connecting rod and the support section can form the pivot axis. The support section can form an opening into which the anchor of the connecting rod is rotatably inserted, thereby defining the pivot axis.

[0018] For example, the pivot axis is a first pivot axis, and / or the component is part of the base. The linkage can be connected to the seat portion, and the linkage is pivotable about a second pivot axis. This allows for simple and robust adjustment of the seat portion.

[0019] According to one example, the linkage is a rear linkage. The adjustment mechanism may further include a (e.g., pivotable) front linkage that supports the seat portion on the base. The rear linkage may be closer to the backrest of the vehicle seat than the front linkage. Therefore, the rear section of the seat portion can be lowered particularly significantly.

[0020] According to another example, the adjustment mechanism also includes an electric motor. This electric motor can be configured to pivot the front linkage relative to the base to adjust the seat portion between a sitting position and a reclining position (e.g., a relaxed position), the reclining position being more rearward-tilted than the sitting position. This allows for comfortable use of the vehicle seat.

[0021] The front link can be longer than the rear link. The distance between the pivot points of the front links can be greater than the distance between the pivot points of the rear links. Thus, the pivoting movement of the links can tilt the vehicle seat backward, for example, to a relaxed position using a simple and robust mechanism.

[0022] The front linkage can be connected to the base, for example, pivotable about a third pivot axis, and / or connected to the seat portion, for example, via a height adjustment linkage. Thus, the adjustment mechanism allows the seat portion and backrest to pivot to a relaxed position, and also allows for seat height adjustment in an upright sitting position.

[0023] According to one example, the front link is connected to a height adjustment link, and the front link is pivotable about a fourth pivot axis, and / or the height adjustment link is connected to the seat portion, and the height adjustment link is pivotable about a (fifth) pivot axis. This provides robust and comfortable adjustability.

[0024] The vehicle seat may further include a leg rest. The leg rest may be mounted on the seat portion in a movable manner, such as a pivotable manner. This allows users to place their legs on the leg rest, for example, when the vehicle seat is in a relaxed configuration. This further enhances comfort.

[0025] According to one example, the leg rest includes a first portion and a second portion, which together form a support surface for supporting the user's legs. The second portion may be foldable relative to the first portion. In this way, the leg rest can be folded up when not in use to avoid impact with the vehicle's dashboard and floor. Therefore, despite having a leg rest, the vehicle seat can be adjusted to present a particularly low (and forward) position.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism may be a first adjustment mechanism, wherein the vehicle seat further includes a second adjustment mechanism. The second adjustment mechanism may include a floor track and a seat track, the floor track being mountable (and for example, mounted) to the vehicle floor, and the seat track slidably engaging with the floor track. The base may be fixed to the seat track or may be part of the seat track. This allows for further increases in adjustability.

[0027] The vehicle seat may further include a backrest, which is mounted, for example, on the seat portion. The backrest may be pivotable relative to the seat portion about a backrest pivot axis between a use position and a folded position, in which a user can sit on the seat portion and lean against the backrest, and in the folded position, the backrest is folded forward and laid flat on the seat portion. This allows the vehicle seat (if unoccupied) to be used as a leg rest for a user sitting on another vehicle seat behind it.

[0028] According to one aspect, an arrangement is provided comprising a vehicle seat according to any aspect or embodiment described herein, and, for example, another vehicle seat arranged behind said vehicle seat. The vehicle seat can be adjusted to a leg rest configuration using the lowering mechanism to provide leg rest for a user occupying the other vehicle seat.

[0029] According to one aspect, a vehicle is provided that includes a vehicle seat according to any aspect or embodiment described herein. Regarding the advantages of this vehicle seat, refer to the further description above. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0031] Figure 1A and Figure 1B The vehicle seat 1 is shown. Vehicle seat 1 can be a front passenger seat, a driver's seat (particularly in autonomous vehicles), or a seat in the second row or other rows of seats in a vehicle. Vehicle seat 1 includes a seat portion 11 and a backrest 16. A person can sit on the seat portion 11 and rest his or her back against the backrest 16. Figure 1A and Figure 1B The diagram shows the structural components of the seat portion 11 and the backrest 16. In use, cushions or similar items are installed on the seat portion 11 and the backrest 16, such as... Figure 1B As shown by the dashed line in the image.

[0032] A backrest 16 is mounted on a seat portion 11. The backrest 16 is pivotable relative to the seat portion 11 about a backrest pivot axis B. For this purpose, the backrest 16 is connected to the seat portion 11 via an adjuster arrangement, which in this example includes two adjusters 17 operable to pivot the backrest 16 relative to the seat portion 11 about the backrest pivot axis B. The backrest 16 further includes a mounting surface for a seatbelt. In the installed state, the seatbelt is mounted on the backrest 16.

[0033] The vehicle seat 1 also includes a base 10. In this example, the base includes two components 100 in the form of a mounting bracket, one component being located on the left side of the vehicle seat 1 and the other component being located on the right side of the vehicle seat 1.

[0034] Furthermore, the vehicle seat 1 includes a first adjustment mechanism 12 that supports the seat portion 11 (and backrest 16) on the base 10, and includes a rear link 120, a front link 121, and a height adjustment link 122 on each of the left and right sides of the vehicle seat 1. In the following description, one side is described for ease of reference, and the description also applies to the other side. The left and right sides of the first adjustment mechanism 12 are mirror-symmetrical, but may also be identical. The adjustment mechanism 12 is configured to adjust the position of the seat portion 11 relative to the base 10.

[0035] The rear link 120 supports the seat portion 11 on the base 10 and is pivotally mounted on a corresponding component 100 of the base 10 about a first pivot axis P1. The rear link 120 is further pivotally mounted on the seat portion 11 about a second pivot axis P2.

[0036] The seat portion 11 has a front side facing away from the backrest 16 and a rear side facing the backrest 16. A front link 120 is arranged closer to the front side of the seat portion 11 than to the rear side. A rear link 120 is arranged closer to the rear side of the seat portion 11 than to the front side. The front link 121 is mounted on the base 10 (more specifically, on a corresponding component 100 of the base 10) in a manner pivotable about a third pivot axis P3. The front link 121 is connected to the seat portion 11 via a corresponding height adjustment link 122. The front link 121 is pivotally connected to the corresponding height adjustment link 122 via a fourth pivot axis P4. The height adjustment link 122 is pivotally connected to the seat portion 11 via a fifth pivot axis P5.

[0037] The first adjustment mechanism 12 can be used as a height adjustment mechanism. For this purpose, the front link 121 can be locked relative to the base 10, and the angular position of the height adjustment link 122 is adjusted. As a result, the rear link 120 and the height adjustment link 122 rotate upward or downward, and the height of the seat portion 11 relative to the base along the vertical axis Z is adjusted. The vertical axis Z is perpendicular to the backrest pivot axis B.

[0038] The vehicle seat 1 further includes a lowering mechanism 13 configured to adjust the position of the rear links 120 (each rear link 120) relative to the corresponding component 100 of the pivot axis P1 of the base 10. The lowering mechanism 13 is configured to lower and raise the rear side of the seat portion 11 (including the backrest 16) toward (and away from) the base 10.

[0039] The corresponding component 100 of the base 10 includes a slot 101, and a pivot axis P1 is guided in and along the slot 101. The slot 101 (on each side) is elongated. It defines a straight line between two opposite ends. The slot 101 is oriented relative to the vertical axis Z at an angle greater than 0° and less than 90° (e.g., between 30° and 60°, or between 40° and 50°, or 45°). The slot 101 is oriented rearward and upward from its lower end to its upper end. In this example, the slot 101 is oriented towards the backrest pivot axis B.

[0040] Specifically, the slot 101 is oriented such that the first pivot axis P1 can be adjusted between the two ends of the slot 101 to selectively lower the rear section of the seat portion 11 toward the base 10 to a lowered position, or raise the rear section of the seat portion 11 away from the base 10 to a raised position. Figure 1A and Figure 1B The lifting position is shown.

[0041] As an example, the vehicle seat 1 further includes a second adjustment mechanism 14. The second adjustment mechanism 14 is a longitudinal adjustment mechanism. The second adjustment mechanism 14 allows the base 10 to move along the longitudinal axis X together with the seat portion 11 and the backrest 16. The second adjustment mechanism 14 connects the base 10 to the vehicle floor.

[0042] When installed in a vehicle, the longitudinal axis X corresponds to the longitudinal vehicle axis in the vehicle coordinate system. The second adjustment mechanism 14 includes two pairs of guide rails. The pairs of guide rails are arranged parallel to each other and parallel to the longitudinal axis X. The pairs of guide rails are displaced relative to each other along the transverse axis Y. The transverse axis Y is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X and perpendicular to the vertical axis Z. The longitudinal axis and the transverse axis form a plane (XY plane), which is horizontal when installed in a vehicle arranged on a horizontal plane. The vertical axis Z is perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis X and the transverse axis Y. Each pair of guide rails includes a floor rail 140 and a seat rail 141, the floor rail 140 being mountable on the vehicle floor. The base 10 is fixed to the seat rail 141.

[0043] In this example, the vehicle seat 1 also includes a leg rest 15. The leg rest 15 is foldable and can be unfolded. The user of the vehicle seat 1 can place their legs on the unfolded leg rest 15. The leg rest 15 is mounted on the front side of the seat portion 11.

[0044] Figure 1A and Figure 1B The vehicle seat 1 is shown in a normal upright sitting position (or a seatable position), while... Figure 2A and Figure 2BThe vehicle seat 1 is shown in a reclining, relaxed position. In this position, the user can relax or sleep in the vehicle seat 1. With the aid of a first adjustment mechanism 12, the seat portion 11 and the backrest 16 are tilted backward compared to a normal sitting position. Furthermore, the leg rest 15 is extended.

[0045] In a relaxed position, the torso angle and / or the angle of the longitudinal axis of the backrest relative to the vertical axis Z is greater than 25° (especially greater than 30°, greater than 40°, or even greater than 50°). In a normal upright sitting position, the torso angle and / or the angle of the longitudinal axis of the backrest may be less than 25°. For example, torso angles are measured using the standardized H-point measuring machine SAE J826 H-POINTMANIKIN, according to E / ECE / 324 and / or E / ECE / TRANS / 505 (e.g., Regulation 14, REV.1 / ADD.13 / REF.1, Annex 4).

[0046] In the relaxed position, the vehicle seat 1 is moved backward using the second longitudinal adjustment mechanism 14 to provide sufficient space for the user's legs.

[0047] The leg rest 15 is movably mounted on the seat portion 11. The leg rest 15 includes a first portion 150 and a second portion 151, wherein the second portion 151 is pivotally connected to the first portion 150. The first portion 150 and the second portion 151 together form a support surface 152 for supporting the user's legs.

[0048] To deploy the leg rest 15, the leg rest 15 includes a scissor mechanism 153. The scissor mechanism 153 connects the first portion 150 of the leg rest 15 to the seat portion 11. Using the scissor mechanism 153, the first portion 150 and the second portion 151 can retract to the front of the seat portion 11, or as... Figure 2A and Figure 2B It extends out as shown. Furthermore, the second part 151 is unfolded in the extended state and folded below the first part 150 in the folded state.

[0049] Figure 2A and Figure 2B It is also shown that the first adjustment mechanism 12 includes a main shaft 125 and an electric motor 124 for driving the adjustment of the first adjustment mechanism 12. In this example, the electric motor 124 drives a main shaft nut along the main shaft 125, which is pivotally mounted on the base 10. Here, the vehicle seat includes the electric motor 124 and the main shaft 125 on both sides.

[0050] Figure 3A and Figure 3BThe vehicle seat 1 is shown in its first folded, flat position. The backrest 16 is folded forward onto the seat portion 11. The leg rest 15 is retracted and folded up. The leg rest 15 is partially positioned between floor rails 140.

[0051] The angle of the seat portion 11 relative to the base 10 can be adjusted by means of the first adjustment mechanism 12.

[0052] according to Figure 3A and Figure 3B The first pivot axis P1 is arranged at the upper end of the slot 101.

[0053] Figure 4A and Figure 4B The vehicle seat 1 is shown in its second lowered, folded-flat position. According to... Figure 4A and Figure 4B The first pivot P1 is positioned at the lower end of the slot 101. This lowers the rear side of the seat portion 11 (and the adjacent lower end of the backrest 16). The leg rest 15 is in a retracted, folded state. Therefore, the vehicle seat 1 does not interfere with the vehicle floor or dashboard, etc.

[0054] Figure 5 and Figure 6 The inside of component 100 is shown, making another part of vehicle seat 1 visible.

[0055] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the lowering mechanism 13 includes an electric motor 130 for displacing the rear link 120 relative to a pivot axis P1 of a corresponding component 100 of the base 10. The electric motor 130 drives a gearbox 134, which includes a spindle nut that meshes with a spindle 131. The electric motor 130 and gearbox 134 are mounted on the component 100 of the base, in this example, in a pivotable manner. Actuation of the electric motor 130 displaces the spindle 131 relative to the electric motor 130 and relative to the component 100. The spindle 131 extends along a slot 101.

[0056] Support section 132 is fixed to main shaft 131 (here: integrally formed with main shaft 131). Support section 132 forms a ring with opening 133. Anchor pin 123 is rotatably mounted in opening 133. Here, anchor pin 123 extends through slot 101, wherein main shaft 131 is arranged on one side of component 100 and rear link 120 is arranged on the opposite side. Anchor pin 123 of rear link 120 and support section 132 are guided by slot 101 and together with slot 101 form first pivot P1.

[0057] Figure 5 The first folded, flat position is shown. Figure 6 The second lowered folded flat position is shown, in which the rear end of the seat portion 11 is closer to the guide rail.

[0058] Figure 7 The arrangement of the vehicle seat 1 in a second lowered, folded-flat position and mounted on the vehicle floor 2 is shown. The leg rest 15 is retracted and folded so as not to interfere with the dashboard located in front of and above the vehicle seat 1, and it does not interfere with the vehicle floor 2, although it is arranged directly adjacent to the vehicle floor 2.

[0059] Another vehicle seat 3 is positioned behind vehicle seat 1, on the rear side of vehicle seat 1. User 4 sits in the other vehicle seat 3. User 4 can comfortably rest his legs on the backrest 16 of vehicle seat 1 because vehicle seat 1 is lowered by lowering mechanism 13.

[0060] In other words, vehicle seat 1 can be adjusted to a leg rest configuration using the lowering mechanism 13 to provide leg rest for user 4 occupying another vehicle seat 3.
