Description

[0001] Device for vibration-decoupled mounting of a functional component to a structural element, connecting device, support device and vehicle seat

[0002] DESCRIPTION

[0003] The invention relates to a device for vibration-decoupled fastening of a functional component to a structural element, a connecting device, a support device and a vehicle seat with the device.

[0004] According to the prior art, it is known to attach a pump or other functional components to a vehicle seat that emit vibrations or acoustic noise. To avoid or at least reduce the transmission of vibrations or acoustic noise from the pump or other functional components, it is known to use foam pockets or acoustic housings that are installed in the vehicle seats and accommodate the pump or other functional component.

[0005] However, the known options have several disadvantages. For example, an acoustic enclosure requires a great deal of installation space. Precisely because of this large space, components of the seat, such as the seat foam, often come into contact with the acoustic enclosure, thereby reducing the reduction of vibrations or acoustic noise.

[0006] When using a foam bag in which a pump is packed, the position of the pump and the foam bag is not precisely determined, and shifts and displacements of the pump and the foam bag occur.

[0007] DE 10 2009 060 458 A1 discloses a device for the elastically vibration-resistant attachment of a damping mass to a motor vehicle component subjected to vibrations and / or oscillations. The device comprises a coupling pin dimensioned such that it completely passes through both a mounting bore in the motor vehicle component, for example, a steering wheel structure, and a mounting hole in the damping mass, and includes a fastening section arranged at one end of the coupling pin to which the motor vehicle component or the damping mass can be attached, an annular receptacle that is at least partially bounded by the coupling pin, and an elastic ring body that sits in the annular receptacle.

[0008] DE 102015 011 461 A1 relates to a massage device for a seating system of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, with a seat structure, with at least one cushion held on the seat structure and with at least one massage element for massaging an occupant of the seating system, wherein the massage element is designed as a vibration element for generating vibrations to massage the occupant and is vibrationally decoupled from the seat.

[0009] WO 98 / 34045 discloses a shock-absorbing arrangement for connecting a vehicle frame element to a frame through-hole into which a damping body can be inserted.

[0010] German patent DE 102011 117 087 A1 relates to a decoupling element and an arrangement for the vibration-isolated mounting of a functional module to a vehicle component, as well as a method for manufacturing such an arrangement. The arrangement comprises an upper mounting part and a lower mounting part, the upper mounting part being connected to the lower mounting part via an associated decoupling element. The upper mounting part is designed for mounting the functional module.

[0011] US Patent 11,773,939 B2 relates to a vibration absorber. This absorber is designed to absorb or dampen vibrations of a vehicle component. The vehicle component is held in place by clamping between two elastomeric molded parts using a pin to which a mass element is also attached.

[0012] WO 2022 / 069544 A1 relates to a mounting device for attaching a pump to a vehicle, comprising a pump holder and a fastening element for attaching the pump holder to the vehicle, wherein the pump holder has an internal compartment for receiving the pump. The pump holder is made of polyurethane foam.

[0013] DE 202009 011 056 U1 relates to a shock-absorbing element that provides shock absorption for a device relative to a fixed structure. The shock-absorbing element has a flexible attachment, the outer section of which is locked in a recess of the locking element, wherein a through-hole is formed with the flexible attachment and a support projection that is attached to the fixed structure and is inserted into the through-hole of the flexible attachment, wherein the support projection is provided with a shock-absorbing element on its central section at the locking point of the locking element.

[0014] WO 2012 / 084059 A1 concerns a motor and pump assembly for installation in a vehicle seat. The motor-driven pump unit is housed in a casing and vibration-isolated from the casing by means of coil springs.

[0015] DE 102019 109 928 A1 relates to a pump housing, a pump, and a seat. The pump housing serves to accommodate a pump unit and a pump motor, for example, for a lumbar support or massage function, for installation in a vehicle seat, wherein the pump motor and the pump unit are connected to each other along a longitudinal axis. The pump motor can be supported by at least two flexible support elements, e.g., coil springs in the radial direction and a second coil spring in the axial direction.

[0016] The object of the invention is to provide a lightweight and space-saving device for the vibration-isolated mounting of a functional component, in particular a pump, to a structural element, especially a structural element of a vehicle seat. A further object of the invention is to enable simple mounting of the functional component, in particular the pump, to a support structure.

[0017] The problem is solved with respect to the device by the subject matter of claim 1, with respect to the connecting device by the subject matter of claim 13, with respect to the support device by the subject matter of claim 14, and with respect to the vehicle seat by the subject matter of claim 15. Advantageous embodiments are described in the pending claims.

[0018] The device according to the invention for vibration-isolated mounting of a functional component, e.g., a pump, a motor, or a vibration generator, to a structural element, in particular to a structural element of a vehicle seat, wherein the device is designed to receive the functional component, wherein the device comprises: a connecting device and a support device, wherein the support device has a base section and one or more mounting sections which are provided for connection with the structural element, wherein the support device further comprises at least two, in particular at least three, first coupling sections, in particular exactly three first coupling sections, wherein the connecting device further comprises at least two, in particular at least three, second coupling sections, in particular exactly three second coupling sections, wherein at least two,in particular at least three first coupling sections of the support device are elastically connected to each corresponding two, in particular each corresponding three, second coupling sections of the connecting device.

[0019] The coupling sections are arranged such that the relative position between the support device and the connecting device changes only within the area of ​​the elastic connection. Furthermore, the coupling sections are advantageously positioned between the support device and the connecting device.

[0020] The connecting device can in particular be designed as a receiving component which has at least a first circumferential element, wherein the circumferential element is designed to receive the functional component.

[0021] In an embodiment with at least three coupling sections, these at least three coupling sections are not arranged linearly relative to each other. Two first and second coupling sections can be arranged in a first plane, and the remaining first and second coupling sections can be arranged in a spaced-apart plane. The coupling sections can be arranged uniformly distributed circumferentially, or the coupling sections in the same plane can have a smaller circumferential distance between each other than between the remaining coupling sections. The coupling sections can be arranged symmetrically. The first coupling sections serve, in particular, as bearings for the connecting device. The second coupling sections are arranged, in particular, laterally on the connecting device, especially the receiving component.

[0022] In a design with only two first coupling sections and two second coupling sections, it is advantageous to have at least one first and one second coupling section designed to be elongated or curved.

[0023] The assembly sections are arranged, in particular, on one side of the base section. For assembly, the functional component can first be connected to the connecting device, e.g., inserted into the connecting device designed as a receiving component, and then, in a next step, the connecting device with the functional component is inserted into the support device. The insertion direction of the connecting device into the support device is referred to as the z-direction. The support device can thus be attached to a structural element even before the connecting device is inserted. In the support device's fixed state according to the invention, the connecting device is inserted by gravity, e.g., parallel to gravity or slightly tilted relative to it.

[0024] A structural element is understood to be, in particular, an element of a fixed structure that is suitable for attaching one or more devices or equipment. It may, for example, be a frame, scaffold, or housing component that is permanently installed inside or outside a building, or inside or on a vehicle. In particular, it may be part of the frame of a seat, especially a vehicle seat, e.g., in the backrest or beneath a seat cushion.

[0025] The support device is provided, in particular, with a receiving area into which the functional component can be inserted with the connecting device. The receiving area has, in particular, a receiving opening for inserting the functional component with the connecting device. The receiving area is, in particular, at least partially bounded by a wall section. The wall section forms, in particular, an edge of the receiving opening. The wall section can extend as a section-wise cylindrical segment around the receiving opening, in particular around the z-direction. The wall section extends, in particular, to a second side of the support device, which is located on the side facing away from a first side that has the base section and the mounting device. The wall section can be supported and / or connected to the base section by, in particular, two symmetrically arranged struts for stiffening.The support device thus exhibits high stability while maintaining low weight. In one embodiment, the support device is formed in one piece, particularly as a one-piece injection-molded part, especially made of plastic. Such an embodiment is cost-effective to manufacture.

[0026] The base section of the support device has, in particular, one or more support sections designed to brace the support device against a structural element. Support sections and mounting sections can be arranged adjacent to or far apart from one another. Advantageously, the support device has at least two support sections, which are, in particular, spaced apart from one another.

[0027] In this embodiment, the support device and / or the connecting device, in particular the receiving component, are designed symmetrically to a plane encompassing the insertion direction.

[0028] In one embodiment, the receiving component has two interconnected circumferential elements. In such an embodiment, at least a second coupling section is arranged on each circumferential element, which in particular projects radially outwards.

[0029] Alternatively or additionally, the perimeter element(s) is designed as a ring-shaped wall element. Alternatively, the perimeter element can have one or more edges spaced apart in the circumferential direction, so that the perimeter element forms a regular or irregular polygon in plan view.

[0030] Alternatively or additionally, the circumferential element is designed for the clamping reception of the functional component, in particular the pump, especially a pump motor section.

[0031] In one embodiment, the connecting device, in particular the receiving component, has a base on which the functional component can be supported.

[0032] In one embodiment, the circumferential element(s) are designed to be inserted or have been inserted concentrically through a receiving opening in the receiving area of ​​the support element.

[0033] In one embodiment, the connecting device, particularly the connecting device designed as a receiving component, is formed in one piece, especially as a one-piece injection-molded part, particularly made of plastic. Optionally, the connecting device, particularly the connecting device designed as a receiving component, is hinged between a first state and a different functional state. This allows the connecting device, particularly the connecting device designed as a receiving component, to be manufactured particularly simply and cost-effectively. Furthermore, the connecting device, particularly the connecting device designed as a receiving component, can be stored in a space-saving manner in the first state, i.e., when not in use.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, the connecting device comprises two or more connecting elements, each connecting element including a second coupling section. Optionally, each connecting element is designed to engage with a connecting section of the functional component. Such a connecting section may, for example, be provided with hooks, eyelets, lugs, or clamps. In this case, the connecting element then has a third coupling section suitable for connecting to the connecting section. The third coupling section is directly or indirectly connected to a second coupling section.

[0035] Alternatively, each of the connecting elements can be designed to be attached to the functional component, in particular to a housing of the functional component. For this purpose, the connecting element can, for example, be provided with a mounting surface suitable for detachable or permanent connection to the functional component, e.g., by gluing, ultrasonic welding, screwing, etc.

[0036] In a further embodiment, the connecting device can, in addition to a receiving component, have one or more connecting elements as described above.

[0037] In a further embodiment, the connecting device can have a receiving component and at least one additional connecting element.

[0038] In one embodiment, the functional component is a pump, in particular a pump for inflating air cushions in a vehicle seat, e.g., for a massage function, lumbar support function, or other comfort functions. Such a pump has, in particular, a pump connection at one end, which is located within a pump section in which a pump unit is arranged. The pump also advantageously includes a motor, which is arranged in a pump motor section of the pump opposite the head. Such a pump has, in particular, an elongated shape. The center of gravity of the pump is located, in particular, in the pump motor section.

[0039] A first coupling section and a second coupling section intended for connection to this first coupling section are designed to be complementary. For this purpose, the first coupling section and the second coupling section can each have a coupling element, e.g., in the form of a hook, a pin, an eyelet, or a clamp.

[0040] In one embodiment, the first coupling sections are designed as hooks or pins, or are provided with hooks or pins into which the second coupling sections are hooked. In particular, the pins can extend in the opposite direction, especially antiparallel to, the z-direction defined above. In particular, the coupling sections are secured against unintentional release. In particular, the coupling sections, especially the coupling means, are provided with one or more detent elements so that a coupling between the first and second coupling sections cannot be unintentionally released.

[0041] In a further embodiment, the second coupling sections have elastic sections; in particular, each second coupling section has a section designed as a leaf spring. Furthermore, the second coupling sections can have an eyelet. Such an eyelet, for example, represents a coupling element. In particular, the leaf spring can decouple the respective eyelet from the circumferential element with respect to vibration.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, the second coupling sections can also be designed with pins as coupling means and the first coupling sections with eyelets as coupling means. In such an embodiment, the pins expediently extend in the z-direction.

[0043] The connection device according to the invention of a device for vibration-decoupled fastening of a functional component to a structural element has at least two, in particular at least three, second coupling sections, each of which is designed for connection with a first coupling section of a support device.

[0044] The connecting device, optionally designed as a receiving component, of a device for vibration-isolated attachment of a functional component to a structural element comprises at least a first circumferential element, wherein the circumferential element is designed to receive the functional component, and wherein the receiving component further comprises at least two, in particular at least three, second coupling sections, each of which is designed to connect to a first coupling section of a support device. The receiving component can be designed as described above.

[0045] The support device according to the invention for a device for vibration-isolated mounting of a functional component to a structural element comprises a base section and one or more mounting sections, which are provided for connection with the structural element, wherein the support device further comprises at least two, in particular at least three, first coupling sections, each of which is designed for connection with a second coupling section of a connecting device. The support device can be configured as described above.

[0046] The vehicle seat according to the invention is designed with a device for vibration-isolated mounting of a functional component as described above. The vehicle seat includes the structural element to which the device is attached. The vehicle seat can be provided with air bubbles or air cushions that are filled via a functional component designed as a pump.

[0059] Figs. 1 and 2 show a device 10 for vibration-decoupled mounting of a functional component 100, here a pump 110, to a structural element 200 (not shown), with the pump 110 inserted, in different views.

[0060] The illustrated pump 110 has a pump connection 111 on one end, which is arranged on a pump section 112. On the side opposite the pump connection 111, the pump 110 has a pump motor section 113.

[0061] The device 10 comprises a connecting device 12, which is configured as a receiving component 13, and a support device 14. The support device 14 has several mounting sections 16 on a base section 15. The base section 15 can, in particular, be designed to bear at least partially against the structural element 200 in a supporting manner. The mounting sections 16 are designed to be attached to a structural element 200, for example, a vehicle seat 210. In the present case, a first mounting section 16A is designed as a snap-fit ​​device, and a second mounting section 16B is designed for fastening by means of a screw or a clip. However, mounting by riveting is also possible, for example. Furthermore, it is also possible, for example, to provide two second mounting sections 16B symmetrically. The mounting sections 16 are, in particular, on a first side 34, see Fig.9, the support device 14, which is designed to be positioned opposite the structural element 200. The support device 14 further comprises a receiving area 38 into which the receiving component 13 can be inserted, as shown in particular in Fig. 9. The receiving area 38 is at least partially bounded by a wall section 40, which in this case is designed as a ring section. The wall section 40 extends to a second side 36 of the support device 14. At least one first coupling section 18 is arranged on the wall section 40. In the embodiment shown, as also shown in more detail in Fig. 9, two first coupling sections 18 are radially spaced apart in the circumferential direction on the wall section 40. The first coupling sections 18 are designed with pins 30 as coupling means and have locking elements 32 at their upper, first end, which is arranged distal to the wall section 40.To improve the stability of the support device 14, the wall element 40 is connected to a base section 15 via struts 42. Furthermore, the base section 15 can comprise one or more support sections 44, which are designed to brace the support device 14 against a structural element 200.

[0062] The support device 14 further comprises a second first coupling section 18, 18C, which is not arranged on the wall element 40 but on the base element 15, see also Fig. 3-5. The second first coupling section 18C extends into a receiving area 38 on a rear side of the base element 15 facing away from the mounting sections 16 and the support sections 44. This second first coupling section 18C is also designed with a pin 30 with a locking element 32 as a coupling means. The pins 30 extend parallel to each other, with one direction from the distal end of the pins 30 to the proximal end corresponding to an insertion direction z for the receiving component. The pins 30 are also aligned parallel to a central axis of the wall element 40.

[0063] The receiving component 13 has a first circumferential element 20, which is designed to receive a functional component 100, in particular a pump 110, within the circumferential element 20. In particular, the circumferential element 20 encloses a circumferential wall of the pump 110, especially in the area of ​​the pump motor section 113, see Fig. 2. In this case, the circumferential element 20 is designed as a cylindrical ring. As can be seen more clearly in Figure 7, the receiving component 13 can have a further circumferential element 21, which is arranged at a distance from the first circumferential element 20.

[0064] The two circumferential elements 20, 21 are connected to each other via a web element 28. The circumferential element 20 has at least one second coupling section 22 on its outer surface. In this case, two second coupling sections 22 are arranged along a circumferential direction on the outer surface of the circumferential element 20. The second coupling sections 22 are elastically designed. In this case, each second coupling section has an eyelet 24 as a coupling means and a leaf spring 26. The eyelets 24 are arranged such that they can engage with the corresponding pins 30 of the first coupling sections 18. Figures 3 and 4 show how the pin 30 of each first coupling element 18, 18A, 18B, 18C and the eyelet 24 of the corresponding second coupling element 22, 22A, 22B, 22C engage. Furthermore, the circumferential element 20 can include a nose 23 projecting perpendicular to the circumferential direction.This nose 23 can be designed, in particular, as an assembly aid. In the embodiment shown, the nose 23 is arranged above the web element 28 between the two second coupling sections 22.

[0065] Furthermore, the additional circumferential element 21 has a further second coupling section 22, which can engage with the further first coupling section 18 C. The receiving component 13 can, for example, be manufactured as an injection-molded part made of plastic. To simplify the production of the injection-molded part, the receiving component 13 can be manufactured in a first state, as shown in Fig. 6, in which the circumferential elements 20, 21 are arranged in the same plane. The web element 28 can have tapers at the transitions to the circumferential elements 20, 21, so that the receiving component 13 can be moved from the first state into a functional state by means of flaps at the tapers, which serve as film hinges.

[0066] Fig. 8 shows a further embodiment of the receiving component 13, which, in addition to the first circumferential element 20 and the further circumferential element 21, has a base section 29 connected to the further circumferential element 21, which is designed to support the functional component 100, in particular against gravity. The nose 23 is arranged here in the circumferential direction opposite the web element 28.

[0067] As shown in Figures 3-5, to assemble the receiving component 13 and the support device 14, the eyelets 24 of the second coupling sections 22 are placed onto the pins 30 of the first coupling sections 18. The locking elements 32 are arranged on the pins 30 such that they make it difficult or impossible to detach the second coupling sections 22 from the first coupling sections 18. Figure 10 shows a vehicle seat 210 with the device 10. A structural element 200 is arranged in the backrest of the vehicle seat. The device 10 is arranged on and fixed to the structural element 200 of the vehicle seat 210, particularly in its backrest. A functional component 100 is received in the device 10. This functional component 100 can be configured as a pump 110 for filling air cushions 220 arranged in the vehicle seat.

[0068] Fig. 11 shows an exploded view of another embodiment of the device 10. The device 10 comprises a functional component 100, which has connecting sections 102. In this case, the connecting sections 102 are provided with pins aligned in the z-direction; however, other configurations within the scope of the invention are also conceivable. In this case, the device 10 has a connecting device 12, which has connecting elements 50. Such a connecting element 50, shown in plan view by way of example in Fig. 11a, has a second coupling section 22 and a third coupling section 52. The second coupling section 22 is provided here with a leaf spring 26 and an eyelet 24. The third coupling section 52 is designed for connection with the connecting section 102 of the functional component 100 and is configured accordingly as a complementary connection.In particular, the third coupling section 52 can be designed such that the connection between the functional component 100 and the third coupling section 52 can be latched or locked to prevent unintentional disconnection. The support device 14 has a base section 15 and first coupling sections 18, which are designed to couple with the respective second coupling sections 22. Two of the first coupling sections are arranged on a wall section 40 that surrounds a receiving area 38, and another first coupling section 18 is arranged on the base section 15.

[0069] Fig. 12 shows a modification of the device in Fig. 11. In this embodiment, the connecting elements 50 are directly connected to a housing 101 of the functional component 100. For this purpose, the connecting element 50, as shown in the top view in Fig. 12a, has, for example, a mounting surface 54. In a further deviation, only two first coupling sections 18 are provided on the support device, which are coupled to the connecting device 12 via the second coupling sections 22 of the connecting elements 50. The first and second coupling sections 18, 22 have a geometry that differs from the previous illustrations in order to ensure protection against tilting. In particular, the coupling means of the first coupling section is designed as a cylindrical wall section-shaped projection, which may have a locking element 32 (not shown) at its end furthest from the support device 14.Furthermore, the second coupling section 22 has, for example, an eyelet 24 that is elongated in cross-section as shown in Fig. 12a.
