Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to an arrangement of a display of a vehicle seat which is freestanding relative to a structural part, in particular relative to an armrest and rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the structural part, wherein the display is rotatably mounted on the structural part.
[0002] German patent application DE 199 24 618 B4 describes the arrangement of a screen in a vehicle, in which the screen can be moved between a storage position and a working position, with a computer base and a swivel arm arranged between this base and the screen. The swivel arm is articulated to both the computer base and the screen by means of a rotatable pivot bearing. Both rotatable pivot bearings are designed with high friction in a known manner, so that the selected rotational and pivoting position of both the swivel arm relative to the computer and the screen relative to the swivel arm remains stable and can only be overcome by applying sufficient pressure.
[0003] A mounting device for a screen in a vehicle interior is known from German patent application DE 102 33 510 B3. The device comprises a mounting arm that is fixed to the vehicle at one end, preferably to a center console and / or an armrest and / or an instrument panel, and is connected to the screen at the other end. The mounting arm is designed to dampen vibrations by incorporating a section made of a rubber material. This rubber section acts as a reversibly deformable mechanical overload protection device. By constructing a section of the support or mounting arm from a rubber material, the screen is mounted to allow for vibration.
[0004] German patent application DE 10 2014 215 787 A1 discloses a functionally variable center console device for a motor vehicle comprising a console base and a sliding device. The console base has a base housing with an upper housing surface and a longitudinal base direction parallel thereto and is designed to be fixed in position in a motor vehicle between a passenger seat and a passenger seat. The sliding device has a surface facing away from the console base and a first interaction device arranged in this surface and is designed to be displaceable above the upper housing surface and in a plane parallel thereto relative to the console base along a sliding path that extends at least partially in this plane in a direction that forms an angle with the longitudinal base direction.The first interaction device is designed to support a set of functions that changes depending on the position of the displacement device along the displacement path.
[0005] The object of the invention is to protect a display that is freestanding relative to a structural part from collisions with other components and from forces acting on the display from the outside.
[0006] The starting point of the invention is an arrangement of a display of a vehicle seat which is freestanding relative to a structural part, in particular relative to an armrest and rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to the structural part, wherein the display is rotatably mounted on the structural part.
[0007] According to the invention, a display rotation mechanism is arranged between the structural part and a display holder associated with the display. This rotation mechanism includes an anti-locking element, which has a first locking element that directly or indirectly supports the display holder, and a second locking element that is directly or indirectly connected to a base support of the structural part. The anti-locking element as a whole, and thus the display and the display holder, can be rotated about the axis of rotation by means of a mechanical positive coupling via a tension element relative to the base support. The tension element is fixedly coupled to the second locking element and to a part of the seat structure of the vehicle seat. The first locking element is movably arranged relative to the second locking element of the anti-locking element.that the first locking element rotates around its axis of rotation relative to the second locking element and the structural component when an external force is applied to the display and / or the display holder, causing the display and display holder to perform an evasive movement independently of the mechanical coupling to the structural component when the force is applied. The advantage of this arrangement is that, due to the design of the display rotation mechanism, the display is rotated out of potential collision areas by the mechanical coupling when the vehicle seat moves, and, due to the design of the display rotation mechanism, the anti-locking element prevents the display from locking in place when an external force is applied, meaning it evades the external force independently of the mechanical coupling. Thus, two functions are realized in a single display rotation mechanism.to protect the freestanding display from collisions with other components and from external forces acting on the display.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the display rotation mechanism is designed such that the display, together with its display holder, is rotatable in only one direction around the axis of rotation within the mechanical positive coupling by means of the pull element, by providing a stop on the second detent element which abuts a position element which is arranged directly or indirectly in a fixed position on the structural part.
[0009] Furthermore, a preferred embodiment provides that the second locking element is rotatably arranged in one direction of rotation against the force of a spring element associated with the second locking element and arranged under preload, in particular a coil spring.
[0010] Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the locking elements are held in their undisplaced initial position by the force of a compression spring arranged and acting in axial longitudinal extension along the axis of rotation, wherein the mutually directed surfaces of the locking elements have contours which, when a force acts on the display and / or the display holder transversely to the longitudinal extension, ensure that the first locking element relative to the second locking element yields against the force of the compression spring in longitudinal extension and about the axis of rotation in a superimposed translational and rotational movement, whereby the display and the display holder perform the yielding movement independently of the mechanical positive coupling to the structural part.
[0011] It is further preferred that a disc spring element is arranged between the mutually directed surfaces of the locking elements, the contour of which is designed such that the disc spring element is arranged flush between the mutually directed surfaces of the locking elements in the undisplaced starting position of the locking elements.
[0012] Finally, it is preferably provided that the contours of the locking elements and the contour of the disc spring element are formed in a wave-like shape corresponding to each other.
[0013] The structural part of the vehicle seat is preferably an armrest.
[0014] The vehicle seat is designed to have an easy-entry mechanism and be configured as an easy-entry vehicle seat, which is moved from its initial position to an easy-entry position. The armrest also has a leveling mechanism by means of which an armrest substructure can be horizontally leveled relative to a seat section of the vehicle seat. Advantageously, the display rotation mechanism arranged between the armrest and the display and the associated display holder rotates the display about its axis of rotation by means of a mechanical positive coupling relative to the armrest base when the easy-entry vehicle seat is moved from its initial position to its easy-entry position.
[0015] The invention is explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings. These show: Fig. 1 a side view of a vehicle seat, in particular an easy-entry vehicle seat in its easy-entry position with an armrest on which a display is arranged; Fig. 2 a top view of the display according to Fig. 1 after a movement of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat from its starting position into the Easy-Entry position to illustrate a collision point of the display on the backrest of a vehicle seat located in front of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat; Fig. 3A An enlarged detail view in a side view of the armrest and the display, which is mounted on a swivel joint, to illustrate the general structural arrangement between the armrest and the display; Fig. 3B A detailed perspective view of the armrest to further illustrate the structural arrangement between the armrest and the display; Fig. 4A An enlarged representation of a locking element replacing the swivel joint, which secures a display holder of the display according to the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 carries; Fig. 4B a top view of a second locking element of the locking protection element according to Fig. 4A; Fig. 5. Enlarged representations of the overrun protection element and an exploded view of the overrun protection element to illustrate the function of the overrun protection element.
[0016] For descriptive purposes, the direction along the longitudinal axis of the vehicle will be designated by "x". "y" designates the direction in the horizontal plane of the vehicle perpendicular to the x-direction, and "z" designates the direction in the vertical plane of the vehicle perpendicular to the x-direction. This designation of spatial directions in Cartesian coordinates corresponds to the coordinate system generally used in the automotive industry. Within all subsequent figures, the same reference symbols are used for identical components, although it may not be necessary to explain all previously introduced components again in each figure using these reference symbols.
[0017] The Fig. Figure 1 shows a side view of a vehicle seat, which in the selected embodiment is an Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100. The Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 is located in Fig. 1 in its easy-entry position. The easy-entry vehicle seat 100 is located in a row of seats in front of which there is another row of seats with separately arranged vehicle seats.
[0018] This row of seats in front is separated by the backrest 101 in Fig. Figure 1 illustrates that the backrest (without reference marking) of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 or its headrest rests against the back of the backrest 101 of the vehicle seat in front, as is usual in the familiar Easy-Entry position of Easy-Entry vehicle seats 100.
[0019] In the page view according to Fig. Figure 1 shows that the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 has an armrest, the armrest cover of which is 102 in Fig. 1 is visible.
[0020] Behind the armrest cover 102, the actual seat structure 105 of the easy-entry vehicle seat 100 is partially visible. Below or behind the armrest cover 102 is an easy-entry mechanism 103 of the easy-entry vehicle seat 100, which is not part of the invention and therefore, since it is known to those skilled in the art, will not be explained further.
[0021] The term "seat structure 105" here refers to the seat cushion and backrest of the easy-entry vehicle seat 100. The armrest is defined as a structural component that is arranged or attached to the seat structure 105. According to the exemplary embodiment, the solution according to the invention can be assigned to the armrest; however, other structural components are also conceivable that can be provided with the arrangement described below.
[0022] Fig. Figure 1 shows a center console 200, which is located between two vehicle seats, the vehicle seats in front of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 and thus in the row of seats in front of it.
[0023] Above the armrest cover 102 an armrest support 408 is shown, which allows an x-adjustment forward and backward in the x-direction according to the arrow P1 of a display D, as will be explained further below.
[0024] The Fig. Figure 1 illustrates that the display D has a rotation axis Z. D rotatably arranged or mounted on the armrest support 408.
[0025] As already mentioned in Fig. As becomes clear in Figure 1, the body of the display D, in the Easy-Entry position of the vehicle seat, extends so far in the x-direction into the row of seats in front that the display D collides at a so-called collision point KP, which is shown in the illustration. Fig. 2 will be further clarified. This collision at the collision point KP always occurs, even when the armrest support 408 is in the x-direction according to the double arrow P1 in Fig. 1 shifted backwards or forwards.
[0026] Furthermore, the display D, whose rotation around the axis Z D It will be discussed later that, in the depicted collision situation with the backrest 101, it is arranged in an unrotated position with the vehicle seat in front of it, as shown in Fig. 2 is made clear.
[0027] The Fig. Figure 2 shows a top view of display D according to Fig. 1, during the movement of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat from its starting position to its Easy-Entry position according to Fig. 1, where the collision point CP occurs during the course of the movement.
[0028] From the presentation in Fig. 2 is part of the backrest 101, which the display D comes into contact with in the collision situation.
[0029] Furthermore, the center console 200 is recognizable, which is arranged between the vehicle seats of the row of seats in front or their seat sections.
[0030] The top view of Fig. 2 shows the Z axis of rotation D , around which the display D, together with its display holder DH, is rotatably mounted.
[0031] To avoid the collision at collision point KP, when the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 moves from its starting position to the Easy-Entry position, the expert might consider permanently arranging the display in an already swiveled position, so that the described collision situation does not occur when moving into the Easy-Entry position.
[0032] However, this approach would have the disadvantage that the display D would be placed in a so-called free area FB. y standing inside, regardless of the position in which the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 is located.
[0033] The plan is that the designated free-space area FB y , which should be at least 150 mm, is always kept clear, and especially when the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 is in its starting position.
[0034] This clear area FB y This is intended to ensure that a person, if necessary, from the row of seats containing the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100, can pass through the clear area FB. y from the rear to the front row of seats or from the front - from the front row of seats - to the row behind, so that this solution, the display D in the free space FB yTo order this is an undesirable solution, as it would hinder the transfer between the rows of seats and / or cause the display to be damaged sooner or later.
[0035] For this reason, the display D, together with its display holder DH, is rotated in one direction according to Fig. 3B, which will be discussed later, is rotatably arranged so that the display D can move from its starting position, in which it is aligned with the armrest structure or the longitudinal axis of the armrest, into an easy-entry position D', which will be explained in more detail below.
[0036] However, this Easy-Entry position D' of the display D is only assumed when the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 comes into its Easy-Entry position, thus advantageously avoiding the collision at the collision point.
[0037] The following request is made: Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B to be considered in a comprehensive overview, whereby the components in Fig. 3A in an enlarged detail view in a side view of the armrest and the Fig. Figure 3B shows a detailed view of the armrest in a perspective view.
[0038] In the Fig. 3A and Fig. In Figure 3B, the display holder DH and the display D are visible. The display holder DH is arranged on a swivel joint 402.
[0039] A tension element holder 401 is arranged on the display holder DH. The swivel joint 402 is located in the previously presented armrest support 408, which, together with the display holder DH, allows the x-adjustment of the display D relative to a base support, in the exemplary embodiment an armrest base support 405.
[0040] The armrest support 408 is penetrated by a pivot point stabilizing element 406, which causes z-guidance of the armrest support 408.
[0041] In the Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B also includes a pull element 404, which can be designed as a cable or a Bowden cable. The pull element 404 is connected on one side to a counter bearing 407 and on the other side (if a joint 402 is arranged, unlike with the anti-slip element 200) to the pull element holder 410, which is arranged on the display holder DH.
[0042] At the lower end of the display D is a receiving element 403, which ensures that the display D can be received by the display holder DH.
[0043] The swivel joint 402 is enclosed by a torsion spring SF, with a first spring element stop F11 and a second spring element stop F12 arranged in a barely visible manner, which will be discussed later.
[0044] The representations in Fig. 3A and Fig. Figure 3B further illustrates the armrest substructure 104 and the counter bearing 407, which provides y-guidance for the armrest structure 104 of the armrest. Such a counter bearing (is located on the non-visible rear side (according to Figure 3B)) Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B) of the armrest substructure 104, wherein the counter bearing 407 is fixedly arranged on the seat part of the seat structure 105, so that the armrest, which is designed as an armrest movable relative to the seat structure, is arranged movable relative to the counter bearing 407 and is guided by the counter bearing 407.
[0045] When the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 is moved from its initial position to its Easy-Entry position, the armrest structure 104 is moved, i.e., leveled, by means of an electric drive (not shown) and an associated leveling mechanism, so that the armrest base 405, on which the armrest support 408 is mounted, is always in a horizontal position. In other words, while the backrest and seat section of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat move into a tilted position, the armrest remains in a straight position at all times due to the aforementioned leveling tilt adjustment mechanism.
[0046] The structure of the armrest is connected to the structure of the seat section, so that the leveling tilt adjustment of the armrest compensates for movement of the seat section during the comfort height adjustment of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 and during the movement of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 from the starting position to the Easy-Entry position.
[0047] It is explained in advance that the pull element 404 is non-functional in the comfort height adjustment of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100.
[0048] Only during an Easy-Entry run of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 from the starting position to the Easy-Entry position does an adjustment field arise in which the pull element 404 is pulled, as will be further clarified by the following description.
[0049] During the Easy-Entry operation of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100, when moving from the starting position to the Easy-Entry position, the display D performs an automatic rotation from position D to position D' encompassing the axis of rotation Z. D , as in Fig. 3B is shown according to the arrow. This automatic rotation occurs clockwise, as shown, due to a mechanical positive coupling, which will be explained below.
[0050] This mechanical forced coupling ensures that the display D is positioned in position D' and is thus swivelled out of the collision area KP in the Easy-Entry position of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 and is thus at least temporarily positioned in the area between the backrests of the row of seats in front.
[0051] Furthermore, a problem arises in that the display rotation mechanism of display D in its unswiped starting position or in its swiveled Easy-Entry position D' when a user passes through within the row of seats in which the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 is located, according to Fig. 2 from left to right or vice versa, or when a user passes through from front to back or back to front to reach the display D. D', which is particularly noticeable when the display D is against a 202A stop (compare Fig. 4B and Fig. 5) presses, which secures the display D counterclockwise, may be destroyed or lose its function due to the force involved.
[0052] To avoid this case, the already explained swivel joint 402 is not designed as a swivel joint per se, but according to the invention as an overrun protection element 200, which will be explained below.
[0053] The following statements therefore apply to a 200 mm overrun protection element, which, according to the Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B the previously explained and in the Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B shows the “simple” swivel joint 402 replaced.
[0054] It should be noted that the tension element holder 401 is not as described in the Fig. 3A is shown with the display holder DH, but is connected with a second locking element 202.
[0055] In Fig. Figure 4A shows an enlarged representation of a bump protection element 200, which now (instead of the swivel joint) carries the display holder DH of the display D.
[0056] The overrun protection element 200 is designed in such a way that it has a simple rotational function, analogous to the rotary joint 402, about the axis of rotation Z. D This ensures and thereby provides overrun protection or fulfills an overrun function, which will be explained later.
[0057] The Fig. Figure 4B shows in a top view the second locking element 202 of the locking protection element 200 according to Fig. 4A. The second locking element 202 has the stop 202A.
[0058] This attack 202A is in Fig. 4B visible in the top view, wherein a positioning element 203 is further arranged, which is fixedly arranged on the armrest support 408.
[0059] The positioning element 203 ensures that the second locking element 202 engages together with the first locking element 201 (compare Fig. 4A) by the mechanical forced coupling of the display rotation mechanism, only in the direction of arrow P2 according to Fig. 4B clockwise and also according to the Fig. 3B can only move clockwise.
[0060] The Fig. Figure 4B also illustrates the arrangement of the leg spring F2 on the second locking element 202, wherein the first spring element stop F11 is arranged on the armrest support 408 and the second spring element stop F12 is arranged or hooked onto the second locking element 202 display holder DH.
[0061] How Fig. Figure 4B further shows that the torsion spring SF has a first spring element end E11 and a second spring element end E12. The second spring element end E12 is hooked onto the second spring element stop F12 and the first spring element E11 is hooked onto the first spring element stop F11.
[0062] The two locking elements 201 and 202 are connected via a compression spring DF, which is in Fig. 5 is shown, connected to each other, wherein a disc spring TF is arranged between the two locking elements 201, 202, with reference to the compression spring DF and the disc spring TF in connection with Fig. 5 will be discussed further.
[0063] When the movement (Easy-Entry run) of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 from the starting position to the Easy-Entry position takes place, the pulling element 404, in particular the cable or the Bowden cable, is pulled.
[0064] The tension element 404 is connected in the configuration with the overrun protection element 200 on the one hand to the counter bearing 407 and on the other hand to the second locking element 202.
[0065] The counter bearing 407 is connected as a y-guide (transverse to the direction of movement of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 in the x-direction) of the armrest substructure 104 to the seat structure 105, in particular to the structure of the seat part of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 (not to the backrest structure of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100), so that during the Easy-Entry movement, tension is exerted on the tension element 404, causing the second locking element 202 of the anti-locking element 200 to be pulled and thereby rotated about the axis of rotation Z. Drotates. During the Easy-Entry cycle, the second locking element 202 comes into position in the Easy-Entry position of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat, whereby the correspondingly predetermined length of the pull element 404 causes the second locking element 202 to be actuated.
[0066] If only the armrest is adjusted relative to the structure of the seat part of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100, the armrest substructure 104 and thus the armrest moves relative to the seat part and the counter bearing 407, without the pulling element 404 being pulled.
[0067] The first detent element 201 is thereby rotated accordingly around the axis of rotation Z. D Rotating, the display D is carried along so that ultimately the display holder DH swings out of the collision point KP.
[0068] As explained, the pull element 404 is also inactive during the comfort height adjustment of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100. According to the invention, it only fulfills its function during the Easy-Entry movement of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 from the starting position to the Easy-Entry position. The adjustment range of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 created during the Easy-Entry movement, in which the pull element 404 is pulled, thus differs from the adjustment range of the comfort height adjustment of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100.
[0069] In other words, the pull length by which the pull element 404 is pulled during the Easy-Entry operation is longer by a predefinable amount than the pull length of the pull element 404 that is pulled when the armrest is leveled horizontally relative to the seat part of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 during the tilt adjustment.
[0070] The display D, arranged on the anti-rollback element 200 by means of the display holder DH, thus performs an automatic rotation from position D to position D' encompassing the axis of rotation Z during the Easy-Entry operation of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100, when moving from the starting position to the Easy-Entry position. D , as in Fig. 3B is shown according to the arrow. This automatic rotation occurs clockwise, as shown, due to a mechanical forced coupling.
[0071] This mechanical forced coupling ensures that the display D is positioned in position D' and is thus swivelled out of the collision area KP in the Easy-Entry position of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 and is therefore at least temporarily located in the area between the backrests of the row of seats in front.
[0072] The display holder DH and the display D move in the direction of arrow P2 according to Fig. 4B against the force of the leg spring SF arranged as explained above.
[0073] Since the display holder DH is connected to the first locking element 201 and via the first locking element to the second locking element 202, the movement, that is, the pull of the pull element 401, is completely transferred to the over-locking protection element 200.
[0074] The stop 202A thus moves away from the position element 203 according to Fig. 4B moves away during the Easy-Entry run and only reaches the position element again with the support of the leg spring SF when the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100 has returned from its Easy-Entry position to the starting position.
[0075] As explained, the overrun protection element 200 has the special feature that, in the event of a relatively large force acting laterally from the y-direction on the display D, it ensures that the first locking element 201 can shift relative to the second locking element 202.
[0076] This function of the anti-rollback element 200 is available regardless of the position of the Easy-Entry vehicle seat 100.
[0077] In contrast to the displacement of the entire locking element 200 in the forced coupling, the locking element 200 is designed such that the first locking element 201 can be displaced in both directions relative to the second locking element 202, as shown in Fig. 5 is illustrated by the arrow P3.
[0078] The two locking elements 201 and 202 are positioned as follows: Fig. 4A and Fig. 5 in a summary view, together on a receiving bolt 204, wherein a disc spring TF is arranged between the two locking elements 201 and 202, which has a disc spring contour that is modeled on the first contour K1 of the first locking element 201 and the second contour K2 of the second locking element 202, in their undisplaced initial state relative to each other.
[0079] In addition, the compression spring DF is arranged on the receiving bolt 204, which ensures that the detent elements 201 and 202 are always held together in the unshifted starting position by the predefinable spring force until the spring force is overcome, so that the first contour K1 and the second contour K2 of the unshifted starting position lie on top of each other.
[0080] Through the Fig. Figure 5 shows that the locking elements 201 and 202 have a wave-shaped contour K1 and K2 that correspond to each other and thus allow a rotational movement in one of the directions of rotation according to arrow P3 in Fig. 5 only makes possible if a force acts on the display D and / or the display holder DH which is so great that the first detent element 201 shifts relative to the second detent element 202 against the force of the compression spring DF.
[0081] After the first detent element 201 has been displaced relative to the second detent element 202, the disc spring TF ensures that the detent element 201 returns to its original, undisplaced position relative to the detent element 202, or the contour K1 relative to the contour K2, once the acting force has been removed.
[0082] According to Fig.In section 5, the compression spring DF is arranged on the receiving bolt 204 and sits in a recess of the first detent element 201. The receiving bolt 204 is supported with one edge in a recess of the second detent element 202. The receiving bolt 204 is screwed to both sides of the detent elements 201, 202 (not shown) in such a way that relative movement of the detent elements 201, 202 to each other is still possible as soon as the spring force of the compression spring DF, which acts in the axial longitudinal direction of the receiving bolt 204, is overcome.
