Description

Adjustment control method and system of zero-gravity seat and automobile TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of seat design, in particular to an adjustment control method and system of a zero-gravity seat and an automobile. BACKGROUND

[0002] Zero-gravity seats use zero-gravity technology and ergonomic design to simulate weightlessness and reduce discomfort caused by Earth's gravity. This design allows the seat to provide a weightless feeling similar to outer space, making people feel relaxed and comfortable when sitting. Zero-gravity seats are often equipped with super-soft sponge surfaces that provide higher comfort and support, helping to reduce body pressure. Zero-gravity seats often contain more functions such as massage, ventilation and heating, which further enhance the comfort of riding. Due to the high cost, zero-gravity seats are usually only found in high-end vehicles or as optional configurations, and their prices are usually higher than ordinary seats.

[0003] In general, zero-gravity seats provide a more comfortable and relaxing riding experience, especially for users who need to ride for a long time or require additional support.

[0004] Zero-gravity seats often have a one-key start and recovery mode, but in order to coordinate the automatic adjustment function of the zero-gravity seat, other seats that interfere with the zero-gravity seat need to be adjusted in position. For example, when the backrest of the zero-gravity seat is backward, the backrest of the seat in the rear row of the zero-gravity seat also needs to be correspondingly backward, thereby avoiding blocking the travel of the backrest of the zero-gravity seat.

[0005] Therefore, if the existing zero-gravity seat needs to realize the one-key start and recovery mode, the user needs to manually adjust other seats that interfere with the zero-gravity seat according to the position of the zero-gravity seat during the start and / or operation of the zero-gravity seat, which takes a long time for overall adjustment. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0039] The flowchart shown in the drawings is only an example and does not necessarily include all the contents and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily need to be executed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can also be decomposed, combined or partially merged, so the actual execution order can be changed according to the actual situation.

[0040] The adjusting control method of the zero-gravity seat in the embodiments of the present application comprises the following steps:

[0041] When adjusting the adjusting component of the zero-gravity seat from the actual position to the target position, the adjusting direction of the corresponding interference component (the component of the other seat that interferes with the current adjusting component) is determined according to the current adjusting component travel direction. The travel time length required for the current adjusting component to travel to different positions is determined according to the travel speed and distance of the current adjusting component; the travel time length required for the interference component to travel to different positions is determined according to the travel speed and distance of the interference component. The adjusting start time of the interference component is determined according to the travel time length of the current adjusting component and the travel time length of the interference component, with the goal that the interference component does not contact the adjusting component.

[0042] Therefore, the present application can adjust the adjusting component of the zero-gravity seat and the related interference component with the goal that the interference component does not contact the adjusting component. That is, compared with the manual "serial" adjustment of the adjusting component of the zero-gravity seat and the related interference component in the prior art, the present application realizes "parallel" adjustment of the adjusting component of the zero-gravity seat and the related interference component, thereby significantly shortening the overall adjustment time and facilitating people's use.

[0043] Preferably, the method further comprises the following steps: the time length required for adjusting the adjusting component from the actual position to the target position is defined as the adjusting time length of the adjusting component, the adjusting time length of each adjusting component is obtained according to the travel speed of the adjusting component, the adjusting component corresponding to the maximum adjusting time length a is defined as the A component, and the adjusting time length of the remaining adjusting components is b; when adjusting the zero-gravity seat, the A component is adjusted first, the adjusting start time is T1, and the adjusting start time T2 of the remaining adjusting components is T1+a-b.

[0044] Therefore, the A component with the longest adjustment time is taken as a reference to determine the starting time of the remaining adjustment components, so that the remaining adjustment components are all adjusted before the A component, and the overall adjustment time is further shortened.

[0045] Preferably, the area of the interference component occupied when each adjustment component travels to the target position is defined as an interference area, and the interference component is prevented from contacting the adjustment component.

[0046] Therefore, the starting time of the interference component is determined by the time length of the adjustment component reaching the interference area, which can absolutely ensure that the adjustment component will not contact the interference component during the travel process, and the precision of the cooperative adjustment is improved.

[0047] Preferably, referring to FIG. 1, the process of determining the adjustment direction and the adjustment starting time of the current interference component in the method includes:

[0048] Step A, determine whether the actual position of the current interference component is located in the interference area, if yes, go to step B, otherwise go to step D.

[0049] Step B: determine that the adjustment direction of the current interference component is the same as that of the adjustment component, and determine whether the current interference component will contact the current adjustment component when the current interference component and the current adjustment component are started at the same time (i.e., the adjustment starting time is the same), if yes, go to step C, otherwise go to step D.

[0050] Step C: prevent the interference component in the interference area from contacting the adjustment component, and determine the earliest starting time of the current interference component (which must be later than the adjustment starting time of the adjustment component) as the adjustment starting time according to the time length required for the current adjustment component to travel from the actual position to the interference area, and the current position and travel speed of the current interference component.

[0051] Step D: determine that the current interference component does not need to be adjusted, or if the current interference component is not in the specified position (which can be a memory position or a design position), adjust the current interference component to the specified position after the adjustment component leaves the interference area.

[0052] Preferably, referring to FIG. 2, the adjustment components include left and right slide rails 300 of the zero-gravity seat, front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat, a leg rest 400 of the zero-gravity seat, and a backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat. When there is no seat in front of and behind the zero-gravity seat, none of the adjustment components interferes with each other. When there is a seat in front of the zero-gravity seat (for example, the zero-gravity seat is behind the front passenger seat), the interfering component of the leg rest 400 of the zero-gravity seat is the backrest 200 of the seat in front, and the interfering component of the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat is the front and rear slide rails 100 of the seat in front, and the distance between the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat and the front and rear slide rails 100 of the seat in front is defined as within a specified distance, that is, the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat are in contact with the front and rear slide rails 100 of the seat in front (because it is necessary to ensure that there is a leg stretching space in front of the zero-gravity seat after it is unfolded). When there is a seat behind the zero-gravity seat (for example, the zero-gravity seat is in the second row of a total of three rows of seats), the interfering component of the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat is the backrest 800 of the seat behind.

[0053] The adjustment control system of the zero-gravity seat in the embodiment of the present application includes a seat adjustment module (which can be a PCB in practice), which is electrically connected to the motors of all the adjustment components and interfering components, and is used to implement the method mentioned above.

[0054] The module is specifically configured to: determine the travel time required for the adjustment components to travel to different positions according to the travel speed and distance of the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat; determine the travel time required for the interfering components to travel to different positions according to the travel speed and distance of the interfering components corresponding to the adjustment components; and determine the adjustment start time of the interfering components according to the travel times of the adjustment components and the interfering components, with the goal that the interfering components will not contact the adjustment components.

[0055] The adjustment control system of the zero-gravity seat in the embodiment of the present application includes a seat adjustment module (which can be a PCB in practice), which is electrically connected to the motors of all the adjustment components and interfering components, and is used to implement the method mentioned above.

[0056] The process of determining the adjustment start time of the interfering components according to the travel times of the adjustment components and the interfering components, with the goal that the interfering components will not contact the adjustment components, includes: determining the adjustment start time of the interfering components according to the time required for the adjustment components to travel from the actual position to the interfering region of the interfering components and the time required for the interfering components to travel from the actual position to the interfering region, with the goal that the interfering components will not contact the adjustment components when the adjustment components travel to the target position.

[0057] The adjustment start time of the interfering components is the earliest time that meets the goal.

[0058] The adjusting components include left and right slide rails of the zero-gravity seat, front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat, a leg rest of the zero-gravity seat, and a backrest of the zero-gravity seat; when there is a seat in front of the zero-gravity seat, the interfering component of the leg rest of the zero-gravity seat is determined as the backrest of the seat in front; the interfering component of the front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat is determined as the front and rear slide rails of the seat in front; the distance between the front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat and the front and rear slide rails of the seat in front is defined as within a specified distance, and the front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat are in contact with the front and rear slide rails of the seat in front; when there is a seat behind the zero-gravity seat, the interfering component of the backrest of the zero-gravity seat is determined as the backrest of the seat behind.

[0059] The zero-gravity seat in the embodiment of the present application includes the adjusting control system mentioned above.

[0060] Preferably, referring to FIG. 2, the zero-gravity seat further includes a seat cushion inclination adjusting component 500 configured to adjust the seat cushion upward when the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat travels backward and to travel the seat cushion to a specified position (a memory position or a design position) when the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat travels forward.

[0061] The design principle of the seat cushion inclination adjusting component 500 is that when a passenger needs to rest on the front seat or the second seat when the vehicle is parked, the passenger usually turns the seat backrest backward and flat, expands the leg rest, and then lies on the seat to rest. Although the lying posture has better comfort than the sitting posture, the pressure on the hips is still large, and the whole body has a tendency to “slide forward”, and the body cannot be completely relaxed. The seat cushion inclination adjusting component 500 adjusts the seat cushion upward when the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat travels backward, which forms an effect of “supporting” the hips of the body and avoids the body from “sliding forward”.

[0062] The automobile in the embodiment of the present application includes the zero-gravity seat mentioned above, and referring to FIG. 2, a seat is arranged in front of or behind the zero-gravity seat.

[0063] Preferably, referring to FIG. 2, seats are arranged in front of and behind the zero-gravity seat.

[0064] The adjusting components include left and right slide rails of the zero-gravity seat, front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat, a leg rest of the zero-gravity seat, and a backrest of the zero-gravity seat; when there is a seat in front of the zero-gravity seat, the interfering component of the leg rest of the zero-gravity seat is determined as the backrest of the seat in front; the interfering component of the front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat is determined as the front and rear slide rails of the seat in front; the distance between the front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat and the front and rear slide rails of the seat in front is defined as within a specified distance, and the front and rear slide rails of the zero-gravity seat are in contact with the front and rear slide rails of the seat in front; when there is a seat behind the zero-gravity seat, the interfering component of the backrest of the zero-gravity seat is determined as the backrest of the seat behind.

[0065] The automobile of the present application is described below through four embodiments.

[0066] Embodiment one, the car only includes zero-gravity seats, see Figure 3, the steps of embodiment one are:

[0067] S101: Determine the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat, see Figure 2 for details, the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat include the left and right slide rails 300 of the zero-gravity seat, the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat, the leg rest 400 of the zero-gravity seat, the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat and the seat cushion inclination adjustment component 500, all adjustment components do not have interference components.

[0068] S102: Obtain the adjustment time of each adjustment component according to the travel speed of each adjustment component, and determine the adjustment start time according to the adjustment time of each adjustment component. Specifically: the adjustment component corresponding to the maximum adjustment time (13s) is the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat; the adjustment start time of each adjustment component is calculated according to the adjustment time of the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat, and the formula is determined as: T2≤T1+a-b, wherein T1 represents the adjustment start time of the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat, T2 represents the adjustment start time of the currently calculated adjustment component, a represents the adjustment time of the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat, and b represents the adjustment start time of the currently calculated adjustment component (the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat).

[0069] S103: When the adjustment start time of each adjustment component is reached, adjust the corresponding adjustment component.

[0070] It can be seen that through the above-mentioned cooperative adjustment of each adjustment component, the overall adjustment time can be shortened to the adjustment time of a single adjustment component.

[0071] Embodiment two, the car includes a zero-gravity seat, and a front seat is arranged in front of the zero-gravity seat. See Figure 4, the steps of embodiment two are:

[0072] S201: Determine the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat, and the interference components of the front seat. See Figure 2 for details, the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat include the left and right slide rails 300 of the zero-gravity seat, the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat, the leg rest 400 of the zero-gravity seat, the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat and the seat cushion inclination adjustment component 500; the interference components of the front seat are the front seat backrest 200 interfering with the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat, and the front and rear slide rails 100 interfering with the leg rest 400 of the zero-gravity seat.

[0073] S202: obtaining the adjustment time of each component according to the running speed of each component under the condition that the interference component does not interfere with the adjustment component, and determining the adjustment start time according to the adjustment time of each component. Specifically, the seat adjustment module is electrically connected with all adjustment components and motor interference components. Taking the time axis as the main line, the adjustment time required for the entire stroke of each motor is calibrated, then the order of starting some adjustment motors is determined through the interference situation of the co-driver seat and the zero-gravity seat at different positions and the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat itself, and the start time of each component is determined according to the actual position of each component. Specifically:

[0074] (1) The zero-gravity seat is located on the right side of the car, and the zero-gravity seat left and right slide rail 300 starts to execute left adjustment from 0 seconds.

[0075] (2) The seat cushion angle adjustment component 500 can only be started after the zero-gravity seat left and right slide rail 300 is adjusted to a certain position.

[0076] (3) The adjustment start time of the zero-gravity seat front and rear slide rail 600 changes according to the position of the slide rail. If the slide rail is at the frontmost position or within 80mm of the frontmost position, it needs to be started from 0 seconds. If the slide rail is at the design position, it can be started after 7.5 seconds.

[0077] (4) The adjustment start time of the zero-gravity seat backrest 700 changes according to the position of the backrest. If the backrest is at the frontmost position, it starts from the 4th second. If it is at the design position, it starts at the 9th second to ensure that the final completion time is at the 15.25th second.

[0078] (5) The zero-gravity seat leg rest 400 starts to execute the lifting adjustment from 0 seconds.

[0079] (6) The front seat backrest 200 and the front seat front and rear slide rail 100 of the co-driver seat start to execute the forward movement from 0 seconds.

[0080] S203: When the adjustment start time of each adjustment component is reached, the corresponding adjustment component is adjusted.

[0081] It can be seen that in example two, the adjustment of the interference components of the co-driver seat is completed at the same time as the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat, and the overall adjustment time is not increased because the co-driver seat needs to be adjusted.

[0082] Example three, the car includes a zero-gravity seat, and a normal seat is arranged behind the zero-gravity seat. Referring to FIG. 5, the steps of example three are as follows:

[0083] S301: Determine the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat and the interference components of the rear seat. Referring to FIG. 2, the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat include the left and right slide rails 300 of the zero-gravity seat, the front and rear slide rails 600 of the zero-gravity seat, the leg rest 400 of the zero-gravity seat, the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat, and the seat cushion inclination adjustment component 500; the interference components of the third row of ordinary seats located behind the zero-gravity seat are the rear seat backrest 800 interfering with the backrest 700 of the zero-gravity seat.

[0084] S302: Obtain the adjustment time of each component according to the travel speed of each component under the condition that the interference components do not interfere with the adjustment components, and determine the adjustment start time according to the adjustment time of each component. Specifically, the seat adjustment module is electrically connected with all the adjustment components and the motors of the interference components, and the adjustment time required for the entire stroke of each motor is calibrated with the time axis as the main line, then the order of starting some adjustment motors is determined according to whether the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat itself exists interference in different positions of the co-pilot seat and the rear seat, and the time when each component needs to be started is determined according to the actual position of the motor, wherein the start time of the adjustment components of the zero-gravity seat is the same as that of embodiment two, and the rear seat backrest 800 starts to perform the action of moving backward from 0 seconds, and if the rear seat backrest 800 is already at the designed position, the action does not need to be performed.

[0085] S303: When the adjustment start time of each adjustment component is reached, the corresponding adjustment component is adjusted.

[0086] It can be seen that in embodiment three, the adjustment of the interference components of the rear seat is completed at the same time as the adjustment of the zero-gravity seat, and the overall adjustment time will not be increased because of the need to adjust the co-pilot seat.

Referring to FIG. 6, the steps of embodiment four are as follows:

[0092] Based on Table 1, using the time axis as the main line, the adjustment time required for the entire stroke of each motor is marked. Then, by checking for interference between the front passenger seat, zero-gravity seat, and third-row seats in different positions and by examining the zero-gravity seat itself, the order in which some adjustment motors are activated is determined. Finally, the activation time of each component is determined based on the actual position of the motors, specifically:

[0094] (2) The seat cushion tilt adjustment component 500 can only be activated after the left and right slide rails 300 of the zero gravity seat are adjusted to a certain position.

[0095] (3) The adjustment start time of the zero gravity seat front and rear slide rail 600 varies depending on the position of the slide rail. If the slide rail is in the foremost position or within 80mm of the foremost position, it needs to be started from 0 seconds. If the slide rail is in the designed position, it can be started after 7.5 seconds.

[0097] (5) Zero gravity seat leg rest 400 starts lifting adjustment from 0 seconds.

[0098] (6) The front seat backrest 200 and the front seat front and rear slide rails 100 of the passenger seat both start to move forward from 0 seconds.

[0099] (7) The backrest 800 of the third row of seats starts to move backward from 0 seconds. If the backrest 800 of the third row of seats is already in the designed position, the action does not need to be performed.
