Description

[0001] The invention relates to a seat trim for a vehicle seat, comprising at least one trim part, for example a trim panel or trim cover, and a vehicle seat with at least one seat part and a seat trim arranged on the seat part. State of the art

[0002] Up to now, it has been common practice in the automotive sector to integrate mechanically operated or touch-operated controls, such as switches or buttons, firmly into hard surfaces like door panels, center consoles, steering wheel spokes, and / or car seat bolsters. In this way, the controls are mechanically anchored within the vehicle structure to prevent unintentional movement.

[0003] Furthermore, control elements with a soft design are known from the prior art, wherein the control elements are integrated, for example, behind and / or into a compliant surface made of fabric or artificial leather. The surface of the control elements can also be compliant or formed by the surface material itself.

[0004] Hard control elements that can protrude through a soft surface material are also known. In this case, the control elements within the cutout of the surface material are concealed by a cover, a panel, or a collar, with the control elements and the cover being anchored to a rigid base structure. Task

[0005] The invention is based on the objective of improving a seat trim of the type mentioned above, in particular providing a soft trim part with a switch arrangement that can be operated blindly, i.e., felt, without impairing the operability of the switch arrangement on the seat trim, while maintaining usual conditions such as manufacturability, modularity and interchangeability, and providing a corresponding vehicle seat. Solution

[0006] This problem is solved according to the invention by a seat trim for a vehicle seat, comprising at least one trim part, for example a trim panel or a trim cover, wherein the trim part is formed at least partially from a textile and is provided with a switch arrangement for adjusting the vehicle seat, wherein the switch arrangement is attached to the trim part, in particular to a textile section, by means of at least one seam.

[0007] By forming at least a portion of the trim panel from a textile and providing it with a switch arrangement for adjusting the vehicle seat, the installation space required in the vicinity of the vehicle seat, for example between a seat cushion and / or a backrest section and a vehicle door, a vehicle pillar, and / or a center console, can be reduced compared to trim panels and switches known from the prior art. Furthermore, weight and costs can be reduced. The invention also allows for the provision of a comparatively soft trim panel, in particular a soft side cover, side protection, or side panel, for a vehicle seat. This not only increases comfort, for example, when a user comes into contact with the trim panel, but also improves the visual and aesthetic appearance.

[0008] By attaching the switch assembly to the cover part by means of at least one seam, acoustics can be improved by eliminating additional fastening elements, such as screws, nuts and / or rivets, and by using a textile cover part instead of a plastic injection-molded part, for example a plastic panel.

[0009] A textile trim panel, or a trim panel made from textile with an integrated switch assembly, can be manufactured with fewer parts, thus reducing assembly effort. The switch assembly is therefore integrated into the trim panel.

[0010] For example, the invention enables the integration of a seat adjustment switch into a flexible, textile, in particular non-woven, trim part.

[0011] Furthermore, a textile cover panel with the switch assembly can be easily attached to a seat structure, for example, a metal seat frame. In addition, noises, such as rattling noises, which can be generated by touching and / or contact between a plastic cover panel and the seat structure, can be avoided.

[0012] Advantageous embodiments, which can be used individually or in combination with each other, are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0013] A textile is understood to be, in particular, a material made of interwoven or woven fibers, especially textile fibers, synthetic fibers, or natural fibers. The covering component can be a die-cut and embossed, flexible, and partially textile-based molded part. The covering component can also be made, at least partially, of a non-woven material.

[0014] For example, the trim panel can be made of a textile, felt-like, or non-woven material. The trim panel can be particularly flexible, for example, by being die-cut, embossed, or molded.

[0015] The covering component can, for example, comprise nonwoven fabric and / or other fibrous structures. In particular, the covering component can be a molded part formed from a textile fabric.

[0016] The fairing component can include different combinations of textile materials.

[0017] The flexibility of the trim panel allows for easy processing and adaptation to different vehicle seat contours, as well as attachment of the trim panel to a seat structure, for example a seat frame structure, and / or to a cover of the vehicle seat and / or to, for example, a seat bolster or backrest bolster of the vehicle seat.

[0018] It is also possible to attach the trim panel to a vehicle's interior structure. For example, the textile and flexible trim panel can be used as door panels and / or center console covers. The textile and flexible trim panel can be integrated into various surfaces.

[0019] The seam can be a sewn seam, an adhesive seam, and / or a tacked seam. To visually enhance a visible side of the trim panel, i.e., a side seen by users, the seam can have different contours and / or shapes.

[0020] The seam can therefore be applied using a sewing device. The seam material can, for example, consist of fibers. The seam can be a stitched seam formed by a sewing thread. To visually enhance the visible side, different sewing threads, differing, for example, in color and / or diameter, can be used.

[0021] The seam can be applied using an adhesive bonding process and / or another joining method. The seam material used to form the seam can include, for example, an adhesive. The seam itself can be an adhesive bead or a strip of adhesive. The adhesive seam can therefore be a connecting line and designed as a visible seat contour.

[0022] The seam can be created using a chiseling process or with a caulking tool, such as a punch. A caulking seam can be created, for example, by hot caulking and / or ultrasonic caulking. The caulking seam can therefore be a connecting line and designed as a visible seat contour.

[0023] Because the switch assembly is attached to the trim panel by at least one seam, additional fasteners, especially those made of metal, such as screws, are unnecessary. This reduces weight and can also improve acoustics.

[0024] The seam can be positioned around the switch assembly and take the form of a seat contour. For example, the seam can be laid along a predefined contour. This contour could represent a seat cushion and / or a backrest section of a vehicle seat. This visually and aesthetically enhances the visible side of the trim panel.

[0025] The switch assembly can comprise at least one support element, a switch base supporting an electronic unit, and a switch cap connected to and operable by the switch base. The switch base and the switch cap, for example, form an operable or operable switch or push button. Thus, the switch base and the switch cap constitute a control element or an actuating element.

[0026] The support element can be a switch housing. It can be a backing plate, a textile backing, or a film backing. The support element can be made of a flexible and sewable material, such as plastic and / or textile. This allows the textile covering element to be stiffened, at least in the area of ​​the switch assembly.

[0027] The support element can be shaped, for example, like a vehicle seat, and can be stamped or cut to size. The seam can be applied following the shape, for example, an outer contour, of the support element.

[0028] For example, a lighting unit can be provided that can couple light from the switch base into the support element and / or into the seam. The light can then visibly exit outwards at the areas designed as the seat contour.

[0029] The mounting element and the switch base can be attached to an inner side of the trim panel opposite its visible side. The switch cap can be movably mounted on the visible side of the trim panel. The operable, actuated, and / or switchable switch cap can be mounted on or attached to the trim panel without being connected to it. Alternatively, the switch cap can be connected only to the switch base.

[0030] The cover part and the support element can have corresponding openings through which at least one coupling element of the switch base, for example for the detachable coupling of the electronic unit with the switch cap, can pass. The switch cap can be movably held on the visible side of the cover part by means of at least one coupling element of the switch base, in particular of the electronic unit.

[0031] The coupling element can be a control element. The switch cap can be attached to the coupling element on the visible side. The switch cap can cover the opening for the coupling element and represent a visible and tactile part of the switch assembly, for example, a seat adjustment switch. The coupling element serves to transmit a switching movement from the switch cap to the electronic unit, comprising at least one switching element, in the switch base.

[0032] The mounting element and the switch base can be detachably connected to each other via at least one snap-fit ​​connection and / or screw connection. The mounting element and the switch base can have corresponding snap-fit ​​elements and / or bores. The mounting element and the switch base can also be permanently connected to each other, for example by gluing, welding, and / or soldering. The switch base and the switch cap can be detachably connected to each other. The switch assembly can be permanently connected to the flexible cover part and still remain modular, so that the cover part and the switch assembly can be manufactured and tested separately. Both components can also be serviced and replaced separately in case of damage.

[0033] The object of the invention is further achieved by a vehicle seat comprising at least one seat section and a seat cover arranged on the seat section, wherein the seat cover is attached section by section to a covering material of the seat section. The cover section is made of a textile and is provided with a switch arrangement for adjusting the vehicle seat, wherein the switch arrangement is attached to the cover section by means of at least one seam. Further features or combined features of the cover section and the switch arrangement can be found in the preceding description.

[0034] For reasons of optimized installation space, weight reduction, and cost savings, as well as improved acoustics compared to conventional plastic covers, a textile-based cover panel is used. This cover panel can, for example, be a stamped and embossed molded part made of a textile, felt-like, non-woven material. A seam connection between the switch assembly and the cover panel allows the textile cover panel to retain its flexibility. For instance, a flexible cover panel with an integrated switch assembly can also meet additional safety requirements.

[0035] In summary, and in other words, the invention enables the integration of a seat adjustment switch into a soft trim panel, with the switch assembly being sewn to the trim panel. The seam can be designed to be visible as the seat contour. The internal support element has features, for example, connecting elements, in particular locking elements, such as domes, that allow the switch base with its electrical and haptic functions to be screwed or clipped on from the inside, that is, from the inner side of the trim panel opposite the visible side.

[0036] The electronic unit comprises, for example, electrical and haptic functional components that can be controlled by at least one coupling element or by several coupling elements, in particular control elements. The at least one coupling element protrudes through corresponding openings in the cover part and the support element. The switch cap is attached from the outside, i.e., from the visible side of the cover part. Depending on the embodiment, several coupling elements and several switch caps can be provided.

[0037] A good feel and rigidity are achieved through a solid connection between the switch assembly, particularly the switch itself (consisting of the switch base, switch cap, and mounting element), and the trim panel. Further rigidity can be achieved by designing the mounting element, also called the switch receptacle, for example, with extensions and / or stiffening elements in the directions of actuation of the switch cap, without these components, such as rigid ones, being visible from the outside. The back of the switch assembly can be designed so that, even during strong deflection or vibration of the vehicle seat while driving, it only comes into contact with the seat structure via specially integrated soft components. This largely prevents noticeable haptic or noise-related issues, such as audible or tactile disturbances. Figures and embodiments of the invention

[0038] The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to advantageous embodiments illustrated in the figures. However, the invention is not limited to these embodiments. The figures show: Fig. 1: schematic representation of a vehicle seat with a longitudinal adjustment device according to the state of the art, Fig. 2: Schematic perspective view of a vehicle seat according to the invention with a seat cover for covering, in particular covering, an area of ​​the vehicle seat and / or the longitudinal adjustment device according to a first embodiment, Fig. 3: schematically an enlarged area of ​​a seat cover according to the invention with a switch arrangement according to a second embodiment, Fig. 4: schematically, a fastening step for attaching a support element of the seat trim to a trim part of the seat trim according to Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, Fig. 5: schematically, a further fastening step for attaching a switch base to the according to Fig. 4 support element of the seat trim attached to the fairing part, Fig. 6: Schematic representation of the trim panel with pre-assembled support element and pre-assembled switch base after the switch base has been attached to the support element according to Fig. 5, Fig. 7: schematically, a visible side of the trim panel with the pre-assembled support element and the pre-assembled switch base according to Fig. 6 and Fig. 8: Schematically, the visible side of the cover part after application of a switch cap and coupling of the switch cap with the switch base according to Fig. 7.

[0039] Corresponding parts are marked with the same reference symbols in all figures.

[0040] One in the Fig. A vehicle seat 100, schematically depicted in relation to the prior art, is described below using three mutually perpendicular spatial directions. A longitudinal direction x of a vehicle seat 100 installed in a vehicle runs largely horizontally and preferably parallel to a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, which corresponds to the vehicle's usual direction of travel. A transverse direction y, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction x, is also horizontally oriented in the vehicle and runs parallel to a transverse direction of the vehicle. A vertical direction z runs perpendicular to the longitudinal direction x and perpendicular to the transverse direction y. In a vehicle seat 100 installed in a vehicle, the vertical direction z preferably runs parallel to a vertical axis of the vehicle.

[0041] The position and direction designations used, such as front, rear, top, and bottom, refer to the viewing direction of an occupant seated in vehicle seat 100 in a normal seating position, whereby the vehicle seat 100 is installed in the vehicle, in a suitable position for passenger transport with the backrest 104 upright, and oriented in the direction of travel as usual. However, the vehicle seat 100 can also be installed or moved in a different orientation, for example, transversely to the direction of travel. Unless otherwise described, the vehicle seat 100 is mirror-symmetrical about a plane perpendicular to the transverse direction y.

[0042] The backrest 104 can be pivotally mounted on a seat section 102 of the vehicle seat 100. For this purpose, the vehicle seat 100 can optionally include a fitting 106, in particular an adjustment fitting, swivel fitting, locking fitting or wobble fitting.

[0043] The position and direction specifications used, such as radial, axial, and circumferential, refer to a rotation axis 108 of the fitting 106. Radial means perpendicular to the rotation axis 108. Axial means in the direction of or parallel to the rotation axis 108.

[0044] The vehicle seat 100 can optionally include a longitudinal adjustment device 110. The longitudinal adjustment device 110 comprises, for example, a rail arrangement 112 with a first rail element 114 and a second rail element 116. The first rail element 114 is adjustable in the longitudinal direction x relative to the second rail element 116. The first rail element 114 is attached to the seat part 102. The second rail element 116 is attached to a structural element of a vehicle, for example, a vehicle floor.

[0045] For clarity, the first rail element 114 will be referred to as the upper rail 114 in the following description. This upper rail 114 (also called running rail or carriage) is assigned to and designed to support the vehicle seat 100. The second rail element 116 will be referred to as the lower rail 116. The lower rail 116 is fixed and, for example, connected to the floor of a vehicle.

[0046] To cover and conceal at least one side area of ​​the vehicle seat 100 and / or the longitudinal adjustment device 110 and / or the fitting 106, a [material / component] can be used. Fig. 2 seat coverings according to the invention shown 200 can be used.

[0047] Fig. Figure 2 schematically shows a perspective view of a vehicle seat 100 with a seat cover 200 according to the invention for covering, in particular covering, a side area of ​​the vehicle seat 100 according to a first embodiment.

[0048] The seat trim 200 comprises a trim part 202, for example a trim panel or a trim cover, wherein the trim part 202 is formed from a textile 204 or fabric. The textile 204 can, for example, comprise textile raw materials such as natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers, and / or non-textile raw materials that are processed by various methods into linear, planar, and / or three-dimensional structures. The textile 204 can comprise a felt fabric and / or a nonwoven fabric.

[0049] For example, the fairing part 202 can be made of a flexible, for example stretchable or elastic, textile 204.

[0050] The seat trim 200 further comprises a switch arrangement 210 for adjusting the vehicle seat 100, in particular for adjusting the seat section 102 and / or the backrest 104, for example at least in the longitudinal direction x and / or vertical direction z.

[0051] The switch assembly 210 is attached to the trim part 202 by means of at least one seam 212.

[0052] In the illustrated embodiment, the seam 212 can be a concealed seam 212. The seam 212 can be concealed on a visible side 206 of the cladding part 202, for example, by another cladding element. The other cladding element can also be made of a textile material and connected to the cladding part 202.

[0053] In the Fig. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the seam 212 is visible on the visible side 206 of the trim part 202. A shape and / or contour of the seam 212 can be designed to be visible as a seat contour 214.

[0054] The textile trim panel 202 with the sewn-on switch assembly 210 can be manufactured with a reduced number of parts, thus reducing assembly effort. The switch assembly 210 is integrated into the trim panel 202. For example, a seat adjustment switch can be integrated into a flexible, textile, particularly non-woven, trim panel 202.

[0055] The flexible seat cover 200 can be attached at the top to a covering material 120, for example made of fabric and / or leather, and at the bottom to a seat structure (not shown), for example a seat frame. The flexible seat cover 200 can move with the movements of an occupant seated in the vehicle seat 100 without generating any audible noise, such as rattling.

[0056] The switch arrangement 210 can include a first switch 216. The first switch 216 can be assigned to the seat section 102. The first switch 216 can be operated, for example by pushing or pulling, to adjust the seat section 102. The switch arrangement 210 can include a second switch 218. The second switch 218 can be assigned to the backrest 104. The second switch 218 can be operated, for example by pushing or pulling, to adjust the backrest 104.

[0057] In a further embodiment not shown in detail, the switch arrangement 210 can include further switches, for example for adjusting a headrest 118 and / or for adjusting the tilt and / or longitudinal and / or lateral position of the vehicle seat 100.

[0058] Fig. Figure 3 schematically shows an enlarged area of ​​a seat covering 200 according to the invention with a switch arrangement 210 according to a second embodiment.

[0059] The seam 212 can be a sewn seam 212A, an adhesive seam 212B, and / or a crimped seam 212C. To visually enhance the visible side 206 of the cover part 202, the seam 212 forms a seat contour 214 in the illustrated embodiment. The seam 212 is applied to the cover part 202 such that it surrounds or circumferentially surrounds the switches 216 and 218.

[0060] For example, two seams 212 can be applied, one of the seams 212 representing a seat contour 214 of the switch 216 associated with the seat part 102 and the other seam 212 representing a seat contour 214 of the switch 218 associated with the backrest 104.

[0061] Fig. Figure 4 schematically shows a fastening step for attaching a support element 220 of the seat cover 200 to the cover part 202 of the seat cover 200.

[0062] The support element 220 is, for example, a switch housing. The support element 220 can be made of a textile 222 or fabric. The textile 222 can, for example, comprise textile raw materials such as natural fibers and / or synthetic fibers, and / or non-textile raw materials that are processed into linear, planar, and / or three-dimensional structures using various methods. The textile 222 can comprise a felt fabric and / or a nonwoven fabric.

[0063] One form of the support element 220 can correspond to a form of the cover part 202. The support element 220 comprises a first support area 224 and a second support area 226. The first support area 224 is, for example, associated with the first switch 216. The second support area 226 is, for example, associated with the second switch 218. The support element 220 can, for example, be substantially L-shaped. Alternatively, two separate support elements 220 can be attached to the cover part 202, each support element 220 forming a support area 224, 226.

[0064] The carrier element 220 has a number of connecting elements, in particular snap-fit ​​elements 228. The snap-fit ​​elements 228 are, for example, plug-in elements, clamping elements, and / or clip elements projecting from a surface of the carrier element 220. Optionally, an insert 230 can also be attached to the carrier element 220, the insert 230 being provided with the snap-fit ​​elements 228. This stiffens the carrier element 220 and thus the cover part 202 in the area of ​​the switch assembly 210. The insert 230 can, for example, be sewn to the carrier element 220. Alternatively, or optionally, the insert 230 can be attached to the carrier element 220 by gluing or caulking.

[0065] In Fig. Figure 4 shows only one fastening of the switch 218 associated with the backrest 104. It is understood that the fastening of the switch 216 associated with the seat part 102 can be designed in the same way, in particular with associated locking elements 228 and a switch base 240 described later.

[0066] A switch base 240, as shown in [reference], can be attached via the locking elements 228. Fig. 5 shown, to which the support element 220 is attached.

[0067] The support element 220 has two openings 232A, 232B, in particular through-openings. Coupling elements 242, described later, are passed through these openings 232A, 232B.

[0068] The support element 220 and the switch base 240 are attached to an inner side 208 of the trim part 202 opposite the visible side 206 of the trim part 202.

[0069] The cladding part 202 and the support element 220 have corresponding openings 232A, 232B through which the coupling elements 242 are passed.

[0070] Fig. Figure 5 schematically shows a further fastening step for attaching a switch base 240 to the according to Fig. 4. Support element 220 of the seat cover 200, attached to the fairing part 202.

[0071] The switch base 240 of the switch assembly 210 can, for example, be a switch housing. The switch base 240 includes an electronic unit 250. The electronic unit 250 can be coupled to a control unit (not shown) located on the seat side. Alternatively, one housing half of the switch base 240 can be formed from the support element 220. The support element 220 can also be divided into two parts. This allows the support element 220 to be manufactured cost-effectively, with the first part being a flat frame or film that is easy to sew and is then inserted into a second part.

[0072] The switch base 240 comprises (not shown) locking elements that can engage with the locking elements 228 of the carrier element 220 to form a latching connection, for example, a releasable or permanent latching connection. The locking elements can be designed as corresponding plug-in elements, clamping elements, and / or clip elements. The switch base 240 forms, for example, a rear side of the switch 218.

[0073] The support element 220 is attached to the trim part 202 by means of the seam 212.

[0074] Fig. Figure 6 schematically shows the cladding part 202 with pre-assembled support element 220 and pre-assembled switch base 240 after the switch base 240 has been attached to the support element 220 according to Fig. 5. The support element 220 and the switch base 240 are attached to the inner side 208, which is not visible when the seat cover 200 is installed. The openings 232A, 232B on the inner side 208 of the cover part 202 are covered by the switch base 240.

[0075] Fig. Figure 7 schematically shows the visible side 206 of the cladding part 202 with the pre-assembled support element 220 and the pre-assembled switch base 240 according to Fig. 6.

[0076] A connection can be made via the coupling elements 242 of the switch base 240, in particular the electronic unit 250, which are led through the openings 232A, 232B to the visible side 206. Fig. The switch cap 260 shown in Figure 8 is movably mounted on the visible side 206 of the trim panel 202. The switch cap 260 forms an operable top surface of the switch 218. The first switch 216, assigned to the seat part 102, can comprise a corresponding switch base 240 and a switch cap 260. The second switch 218, assigned to the backrest 104, can also comprise a corresponding switch base 240 and a switch cap 260.

[0077] The coupling elements 242 can be control elements. For example, the coupling elements 242 can be identical. In the illustrated embodiment, one of the coupling elements 242 comprises a bearing element 242A, for example, a bearing opening for connecting a ball joint arranged on the switch cap 260, and the other coupling element 242 comprises a ball joint 242B, for example, for connecting to a bearing element 242A arranged on the switch cap 260. The switch cap 260 can include, corresponding to the coupling elements 242 of the switch base 240, negative feedback elements (not shown in detail).

[0078] The coupling elements 242 serve to transmit a switching movement exerted on the associated switch 216, 218 to the electronic unit 250 to initiate an adjustment movement of the vehicle seat 100.

[0079] Fig. Figure 8 schematically shows the visible side 206 of the cover part 202 after the switch cap 260 has been applied and the switch cap 260 has been coupled to the switch base 240 arranged on the inside according to Fig. 7.

[0080] The switch cap 260 can be attached to the coupling elements 242 on the visible side 206. The switch cap 260 can cover the openings 232A, 232B in which the coupling elements 242 are arranged. The switch cap 260 forms a visible, tactile, and actuable part of the switch assembly 210. The switch cap 260 is movably held on the visible side 206 by the coupling elements 242.
