Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle seat device. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses a vehicle seat equipped with a footrest device and an ottoman device. An ottoman device is provided in front of the seat cushion of the rear row seat described in Patent Document 1. A footrest device separate from the ottoman device is provided in a forward position away from the seat cushion.

[0003] The footrest device includes a footrest body that supports the legs of a passenger seated in the rear seat, and an actuator. The footrest body is attached to the rear surface of the seat back of the front seat so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. The actuator is provided between the footrest body and the rear surface of the seat back of the front seat.

[0004] The actuator is controlled by a control means, which drives the actuator to move the footrest body among the stored position, the lower position, and the use position. The stored position is a position where the tip of the footrest body is raised and aligned along the rear surface of the seat back of the front row seat. The lower position is a position where the tip of the footrest body is lowered and aligned along the rear surface of the lower end of the seat back. The use position is a position between the stored position and the lower position where the footrest body is approximately horizontal.

[0005] The front row seats are provided with an actuator that slides the seat cushion in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and an actuator that tilts the seat back forward and backward. The rear seat is provided with an actuator that slides the seat cushion in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and an actuator that tilts the seat back forward and backward.

[0006] Patent Document 1 discloses a state in which the seat back of the rear seat is tilted farther rearward than the upright position, and the seat cushion is slid rearward (hereinafter, referred to as the relax mode). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] JP 2005-289133 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0008] However, for example, in a rear row seat in the relax mode, when the seat back is tilted forward and the seat cushion is slid forward, if the footrest body is in the use position, the following inconvenience may occur: If the seat back of the rear row seat is tilted forward and the seat cushion is slid forward while the legs of the rear passenger are supported by the footrest body, the abdomen of the rear passenger may be compressed or the legs of the rear passenger may hit the seat back of the front row seat. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] A vehicle seat device that solves the above problem includes a seat having a seat cushion slidably connected to a vehicle floor in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle, a seat back tiltably connected to a rear end of the seat cushion, and a slide drive unit that slides the seat cushion, a footrest having a footrest body rotatably connected to a wall surface located in front of the seat and a footrest drive unit that rotates the footrest body, a detection unit that detects the rotation position of the footrest body, and a control device that controls the operation of the slide drive unit and the footrest drive unit, wherein the footrest body is configured to be rotatable between a stored position along the wall surface and an deployed position deployed against the wall surface, and when the seat cushion is slid forward, if the rotation position of the footrest body is in the deployed position, the control device rotates the footrest body to the stored position using the footrest drive unit, and then slides the seat cushion forward using the slide drive unit.

[0010] According to this configuration, when the seat cushion is slid forward, if the footrest body is in the deployed position, the footrest body is first rotated to the stored position. Then, the seat cushion is slid forward. This makes it difficult for the legs of the occupant seated in the seat to collide with the wall. This makes it possible to prevent the comfort of the occupant from being impaired. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent the comfort of rear passengers from being impaired. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0046] The neutral state includes a state in which the seat cushion 41 of the rear row seat 40 is in the center position of the range in which it can slide in the front-rear direction. <Control device 60> The vehicle is provided with a control device 60 including a first ECU 61 that controls the operation of the front row seat 20 and a second ECU 62 that controls the operation of the rear row seat 40.

[0047] The first ECU 61 and the second ECU 62 are electrically connected to each other via an in-vehicle network. <First ECU 61> As shown in FIG. 2, the first ECU 61 is electrically connected to the slide driver 25, the seat back driver 26, and the head rest driver 27.

[0048] The first ECU 61 is electrically connected to a slide position sensor 25S, a seat back position sensor 26S, and a head rest position sensor 27S. The first ECU 61 is electrically connected to the slide operation switch 32, the seat back operation switch 33, the head rest operation switch 34, and the front row return switch 82.

[0049] The first ECU 61 controls the operation of the slide drive unit 25 based on a command signal from the slide operation switch 32. When the slide operation switch 32 is pressed forward, the first ECU 61 operates the slide drive unit 25 to slide the seat cushion 21 forward. When the slide operation switch 32 is pressed rearward, the first ECU 61 operates the slide drive unit 25 to slide the seat cushion 21 rearward.

[0050] The first ECU 61 controls the operation of the seat back drive unit 26 based on a command signal from the seat back operation switch 33. When the seat back operation switch 33 is pushed forward, the first ECU 61 operates the seat back drive unit 26 to tilt the seat back 22 forward. When the seat back operation switch 33 is pushed backward, the first ECU 61 operates the seat back drive unit 26 to tilt the seat back 22 backward.

[0051] The first ECU 61 controls the operation of the headrest drive unit 27 based on a command signal from the headrest operation switch 34. When the headrest operation switch 34 is pushed forward, the first ECU 61 operates the headrest drive unit 27 to tilt the headrest 23 toward the front position. When the headrest operation switch 34 is pushed backward, the first ECU 61 operates the headrest drive unit 27 to tilt the headrest 23 toward the upper position.

[0052] The first ECU 61 includes a memory 61M that stores the retracted state and the occupied state of the front row seat 20. <2nd ECU62> 2, the second ECU 62 is electrically connected to the slide driving unit 45, the seat back driving unit 46, and the head rest driving unit 47. In addition, the second ECU 62 is electrically connected to the foot rest driving unit 28.

[0053] The second ECU 62 is electrically connected to a slide position sensor 45S, a seat back position sensor 46S, and a head rest position sensor 47S. The second ECU 62 is also electrically connected to a foot rest position sensor 28S.

[0054] The second ECU 62 is electrically connected to the slide operation switch 52, the seat back operation switch 53, and the head rest operation switch 54. In addition, the second ECU 62 is electrically connected to the foot rest operation switch 55, the relax mode switch 81, and the rear row return switch 83.

[0055] The second ECU 62 controls the operation of the slide drive unit 45 based on a command signal from the slide operation switch 52 . The second ECU 62 controls the operation of the seat back drive unit 46 based on a command signal from the seat back operation switch 53 .

[0056] The second ECU 62 controls the operation of the headrest drive unit 47 based on a command signal from the headrest operation switch 54 . The second ECU 62 controls the operation of the footrest drive unit 28 based on a command signal from the footrest operation switch 55. When the footrest operation switch 55 is pressed upward, the second ECU 62 operates the footrest drive unit 28 to rotate the footrest body 24a toward the storage position. When the footrest operation switch 55 is pressed downward, the second ECU 62 operates the footrest drive unit 28 to rotate the tip of the footrest body 24a downward.

[0057] The second ECU 62 includes a memory 62M that stores the neutral state and the relaxed state of the rear row seat 40. When the relax mode switch 81 is operated, the first ECU 61 executes control to change the state of the front row seat 20 to the retracted state. At this time, the slide drive unit 25 slides the seat cushion 21 to the front end position, and the seat back drive unit 26 tilts the seat back 22 to the forward tilt position. At this time, the second ECU 62 executes control to change the state of the rear row seat 40 to the relax state. At this time, the slide drive unit 45 slides the seat cushion 41 to the rear end position, and the seat back drive unit 46 tilts the seat back 42 rearward from the upright position.

[0058] On the other hand, when the front row return switch 82 is operated, the first ECU 61 executes control to change the state of the front row seat 20 from the retracted state to the occupied state. When the rear row seat 40 is in the relaxed state, if the rear row return switch 83 is operated, the second ECU 62 executes control for changing the state of the rear row seat 40 from the relaxed state to the neutral state (hereinafter, rear row return control).

[0059] At this time, the second ECU 62 judges whether the rotation position of the footrest body 24a is in the deployed position based on the detection result from the footrest position sensor 28S. If the rotation position of the footrest body 24a is in the deployed position, the second ECU 62 rotates the footrest body 24a to the stored position by the footrest drive unit 28. After that, the second ECU 62 tilts the seat back 42 forward by the seat back drive unit 46 until it is in a neutral state, and slides the seat cushion 41 forward by the slide drive unit 45 until it is in a neutral state.

[0060] <Back row return control> Next, a processing procedure of the rear row return control will be described with reference to the flowchart of Fig. 4. The rear row return control is executed through the second ECU 62 when the rear row return switch 83 is operated.

[0061] As shown in FIG. 4, in this series of processing, first, the second ECU 62 obtains information on the rotation position of the footrest body 24a, and determines whether the rotation position of the footrest body 24a is the deployed position (step S1).

[0062] Here, when the second ECU 62 determines that the rotation position of the footrest body 24a is not the deployed position (step S1: "NO"), it next operates the slide driving unit 45 to slide the seat cushion 41 of the rear row seat 40 forward until it is in a neutral state. In addition, the second ECU 62 operates the seat back driving unit 46 to tilt the seat back 42 forward until it is in a neutral state (step S3). Then, this series of processes ends.

[0063] On the other hand, when the second ECU 62 determines that the rotation position of the footrest body 24a is the deployed position (step S1: "YES"), it then operates the footrest drive unit 28 to rotate the footrest body 24a to the stored position (step S2).

[0064] Next, the second ECU 62 executes the above-mentioned step S3, and ends this series of processes. Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5(a), when changing the state of the rear row seat 40 from a relaxed state to a neutral state, if the footrest body 24a is in the deployed position, the footrest body 24a is first rotated to the stored position, as shown in FIG. 5(b).

[0065] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5(c), the seat cushion 41 is slid forward until it is in a neutral state, and the seat back 42 is tilted forward until it is in a neutral state. This prevents the abdomen of the occupant sitting in the rear row seat 40 (hereinafter, rear occupant) from being compressed and the legs from colliding with the rear surface of the seat back 22 of the front row seat 20 when the seat cushion 41 is slid forward and the seat back 42 is tilted forward.

[0066] Next, the effects of this embodiment will be described. Due to the above-mentioned effect, it is possible to prevent the comfort of rear passengers from being impaired. <Modification> This embodiment can be modified as follows: This embodiment and the following modifications can be combined with each other to the extent that there is no technical contradiction.

[0067] The positions of the rear row return switch 83, the front row return switch 82, and the relax mode switch 81 can be changed as appropriate. Also, the positions of the slide operation switch 32, the seatback operation switch 33, the headrest operation switch 34, the slide operation switch 52, the seatback operation switch 53, the headrest operation switch 54, and the footrest operation switch 55 can be changed as appropriate. Also, these switches are not limited to being mounted on the vehicle, and may be provided on a remote control key or may be set on a tablet terminal capable of communicating with the vehicle.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the first ECU 61 and the second ECU 62 are provided separately, but the operation of both the front row seat 20 and the rear row seat 40 may be controlled by a single control device.

[0069] The rear row seat 40 may be provided with a tilt mechanism that tilts the front part of the seat surface of the seat cushion 41 relative to the rear part. The rear row seat 40 may also be provided with a lift mechanism that raises and lowers the entire seat surface of the seat cushion 41.

[0070] For example, when the rear row seat 40 includes a tilt drive unit that drives the tilt mechanism and a lift drive unit that drives the lift mechanism, the relaxed state of the rear row seat 40 may include a state in which the front part of the seat surface of the seat cushion 41 is in a position tilted upward relative to the rear part compared to the neutral state. The relaxed state may also include a state in which the entire seat surface of the seat cushion 41 is in a position lifted upward compared to the neutral state.

[0071] The headrest drive unit 27 of the front seat 20 may be omitted. Also, the headrest drive unit 47 of the rear seat 40 may be omitted. The relaxed state of the rear row seat 40 may include a state in which the seat back 42 is tilted rearward from the upright position, but may not include a state in which the seat cushion 41 is at the rear end position in the front-to-rear direction. Even in this case, when changing the state of the rear row seat 40 from the relaxed state to the neutral state, the footrest body 24a is rotated to the storage position and then the seat back 42 is tilted forward, thereby achieving the same effect as the above.

[0072] The relaxed state of the rear row seat 40 may include a state in which the seat cushion 41 is at the rear end position in the front-rear direction, but may not include a state in which the seat back 42 is tilted rearward from the upright position. Even in this case, when changing the state of the rear row seat 40 from the relaxed state to the neutral state, the footrest body 24a is rotated to the stored position and then the seat cushion 41 is slid forward, thereby achieving the same effect as the above.

[0073] In the above embodiment, when the relaxation mode switch 81 is operated, the first ECU 61 executes control to change the state of the front row seat 20 from the occupied state to the retracted state. However, it is also possible not to execute this control.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the seat according to the present invention is embodied as the rear seat 40, i.e., a seat disposed behind the passenger seat, but it may also be embodied as a seat disposed behind the driver's seat. In this case, for example, in a parked vehicle or an autonomously driven vehicle, the rear seat 40 can be in a relaxed state and the front seat 20 can be in a retracted state.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the seat according to the present invention is embodied as the rear row seat 40, but the seat according to the present invention can also be embodied as, for example, a third row seat in a vehicle with three rows of seats. In this case, the front row seat 20 in the above embodiment can be replaced with a second row seat, and the rear row seat 40 can be replaced with a third row seat. [Explanation of symbols]
