A system for stabilizing a child seat in a vehicle

Abstract

A system 100 suitable for stabilising a child seat 101 in a vehicle. The system 100 has a seat-supporting platform 105 that can be adjusted in at least one plane by actuators 106, such as brushless motors. Sensors (111a, 111b, Fig. 1), such as an accelerometer and capacitance and proximity sensors, provide data indicative of real-time motion of the vehicle to a control unit (107, Fig. 1), which uses this data to operate the actuators 106 to stabilise the position of the seat-supporting platform 105. Also disclosed is a method of operating the system 100. A calibrating unit (112, Fig. 1) can be used to determine a centre of gravity of the seat 101 based on the weight and size of the occupant, and the control unit (107, Fig. 1) subsequently uses the determined centre of gravity, in combination with the real-time data, to stabilise the child seat 101.

TECHNICAL FIELD 5 Present invention relates in general to a field of automobiles. Particularly, although not exclusively, the present invention relates to a child seat in a vehicle. Further embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a system for stabilizing the child seat in the vehicle. 10 BACKGROUND Generally, vehicles are equipped with seats on which occupants will be seated during travel and, seat belts to keep the occupants 15 intact, during collision. Such seats and seat belts are usually designed to suit adult occupants. However, when a baby or a child is accompanied in the vehicle, extra attention and care has to be vested towards the baby or child, since the configuration (i.e., shape and size of the seats and seat belts) are not suitable 20 for the baby or child. Further, using such seats and seat belts to the babies or children would be unsafe and dangerous. Also, babies or children on-board demand for a caregiver to accompanied with, to pay attention to the baby / child during the travel. 25 Considering the above with respect to the difficulties faced by babies or children during travel, baby seats have been developed. The baby seats are designed to accommodate the baby or a child in a comfortable position, thus easing burden on the caregiver. However, babies [infants in particular] tend to be uncomfortable 30 during travel, because of various operational conditions of the vehicle such as terrain, turnings, sudden braking, jerky motion of the vehicle, and the like. Such parameters may have drastic influence on the baby seated in the child seat, causing discomfort and motion sickness to the baby during travel. 30 05 23 Hence, there is a need for a system to stabilize the child seat in desired position, with no influence of the operating conditions of the vehicle, to cater comfort to the baby during travel. 5 The present disclosure has been devised in the light of the above considerations . 10 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION One or more shortcomings of the conventional systems and methods are overcome, and additional advantages are provided through the provision of the system and method as claimed in the present 15 disclosure.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present disclosure 5 will be described referring to the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram of a system (100) for stabilizing a child seat (101) in a vehicle. The system (100) may broadly include a stabilizing mechanism (104) and a control unit 10   (107), which may be communicatively coupled to the stabilizing mechanism (104) . As seen in FIG. 2, the stabilizing mechanism (104) may include a platform (105) positioned in a cabin of a vehicle. In an embodiment, the platform (105) may be movably coupled to a portion of the cabin of the vehicle. The platform 15   (101) may be plate defining a width and length corresponding to a base portion of the child seat (101). The platform (101) may be defined a plane surface, which may be configured to support the child seat (101) . In an embodiment, the child seat (101) may be removably supported by the platform (105) such that, the child 20 seat (105) may be positioned inside the vehicle only upon requirement. As apparent from FIGS. 2 and 3, the child seat (101) may include a back rest portion (102) and a seating portion (103) , and the platform (105) may support the seating portion (103), thus supporting the child seat (101). The child seat (101) may be 25 configured to facilitate seating of a child, typically an infant during travel of the vehicle. In some embodiments, the backrest portion (102) is pivotally coupled to the seating portion (103) . Further, the stabilizing mechanism (104) may include a plurality 30 of actuators (106), which may be coupled to the platform (105) . As an example, each of the plurality of actuators (106) may be a motor such as but not limiting to a brushless motor. Each of the plurality of actuators (106) may include an output shaft [not shown], which may be coupled to the platform (105) by suitable 30 05 23 coupling means . In an embodiment, the coupling means may be a ball joint or a revolute joint structured to couple the platform (105) with each of the plurality of actuators (106) . The coupling means may be connected to the platform (105) via one of a thermal joining 5 process such as welding or brazing and a mechanical joining process by using as fasteners, rivets, and the like. In an embodiment, each of the plurality of actuators (106) may be configured to stabilize position of the platform (105) (thus, the child seat (101) ) in at least one of X, Y and Z planes, depending 10 on motion of the vehicle. Referring again to FIG. 1, the system (100) may include a calibrating unit (112) , which may be associated with the platform (105) . The calibrating unit (112) may be configured to determine 15 a center of gravity of the child seat (101) , based on weight and size of an occupant residing in the child seat (101) . In an embodiment, the child seat (101) may be equipped with a plurality of weight sensors (Illa, 111b), which may be configured to determine weight of the occupant and based on signal from the 20 plurality of weight sensors, the calibrating unit (112) may determine the center of gravity of the child seat (101). The center of gravity may be considered as a reference point, to which the child seat (101) is stabilized. Further, the system (100) may include a control unit (107), which may be coupled to the 25 stabilizing mechanism (104) (thus, each of the plurality of actuators (106) ) and the calibrating unit (112) . The control unit (107) may be configured to operate one or more actuators of the plurality of actuators (106) based on real-time motion of the vehicle to maintain the determined center of gravity, thus 30 stabilizing the child seat (101) . In an embodiment, the control unit (107) may include a receiving module (108), which may be configured to receive signals 30 05 23 corresponding to the real-time motion of the vehicle through one or more sensors (Illa, 111b) associated with the vehicle. As an example, the one or more sensors (Illa, 111b) may be including but not limiting to an accelerometer, capacitance sensor, 5 proximity sensor and the like, which may be configured to determine various real-time motions of the vehicle . The real-time motion of the vehicle may include at least one or combination of acceleration, deceleration, braking, turnings, vibrations, curve motion, straight motion, and the like. Further, the control 10 unit (107) may include a processing module (109), which may be configured to analyze the real-time motion conditions of the vehicle, which is received by the receiving module (108). In other words, the receiving module (108) may provide an input signal [ i . e ., which may correspond to a real-time motion of the vehicle] , 15 to the processing module (109). The processing module (109) may analyse the real-time motion of the vehicle and generate an input signal, which may correspond to which actuator or actuators to be operated among the plurality of actuators (106), to maintain the determined center of gravity for stabilizing movement of the 20 platform (105) [thus, the child seat (101)]. Furthermore, the control unit (107) may include an actuating module (110), which may be configured to receive the input signal from the processing module (109). The actuating module (110), based on the input signal from the processing module (109) may operate the cor- 25 responding one or more actuators of the plurality of actuators (106), to stabilize the position of the platform (105) [thus, the child seat (101)] in at least one of X, Y and Z planes. In an embodiment, each of the plurality of actuators (106) are interfaced with a power source of the vehicle, and the control unit 30   (107) is configured to control the supply of power to each of the plurality of actuators (106) for regulating the operation. 30 05 23 As an example, the control unit (107) may actuate the actuator couple along Y and X planes of the platform (105) to stabilize the position of the platform (105) when the vehicle is turnings. Further, the control unit (107) may actuate the actuator couple 5 along Y and Z planes of the platform (105) to stabilize the position of the platform (105) when the vehicle is accelerating. Likewise, the control unit (107) may actuate the actuator couple along X and Z planes of the platform (105) to stabilize the position of the platform (105) when the vehicle is decelerating. 10 In an embodiment, the system (100) may include a user interface (113), which may be communicatively coupled to the control unit (107). The user interface (113) may be activated by an operator inside the vehicle, such that the control unit (107) [thus, 15 actuating module (110) of the control unit (107) ] maybe triggered to operate the one or more actuators (106), to change position of the child seat (101) as per requirement or stabilize the child seat (101). As an example, if the occupant is inclined towards left side of the child seat (101), the operator may operate the 20 user interface (113) such that, the actuator at a right side of the child seat (101) may be operated such that, the position of the child seat (101) may be changed to keep the occupant in comfortable position. Further, in another example, if the operator anticipates a steep, the operator may activate the user 25 interface (113) such that, the actuator at the rear side of the child seat (101) may be actuated to stabilize the seat, to keep the occupant in the comfortable position, without influence of the real-time motion condition of the vehicle. 30 Turning now to FIG. 4 which illustrates a flowchart depicting operational sequence of the system (100) for stabilizing the child seat (101). 30 05 23 As illustrated in flowchart of FIG. 4, the one or more blocks illustrates a sequence of operation of the system (100).

The order in which the operation is described is not intended to 10 be construed as a limitation, and any number of the described method blocks may be combined in any order to implement the method. Additionally, individual blocks may be deleted from the methods without departing from the scope of the subject matter described herein. Furthermore, the method can be implemented in 15 any suitable hardware, software, firmware, or combination thereof . As shown in block 201, when the occupant resides on the child seat (101), the calibrating unit (112) associated with the platform 20   (105) may calibrate the center of gravity of the child seat (101) , based on weight and size of the occupant. An output signal corresponding to determined center of gravity may be generated by the calibrating unit (112), which may be an input to the receiving module (108) of the control unit (107). Further, the 25 receiving module (108) may receive signals from the one or more sensors (Illa, 111b), corresponding to real-time motion of the vehicle [as seen in block 202[. At block 203, the processing module (109) may analyse the 30 real-time motion of the vehicle and the center of gravity of the child seat (101), which are received by the receiving module (108), and may generate an input signal, which may correspond to which actuator or actuators (106) of the plurality of actuators (106) to be operated. Based on the input signal received from the 30 05 23 processing module (109), the actuating module (110) may operate the corresponding actuator or actuators of the plurality of actuators (106) to cause movement of the platform (105) (thus, the child seat (101) ) in one of X, Y and Z axis, to stabilize the 5 child seat (101) , in relation to the determined center of gravity [as shown in block 204]. In an embodiment, the method as illustrated in the foregoing paragraphs may be continuously performed to stabilize the child 10 seat (101), corresponding to change in real-time motions of the vehicle .
