Shared Vehicle Air Supply for Seat and Suspension Packaging
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vehicle seat and suspension systems are complex and occupy significant internal space, with air intakes exposed to external environments that can damage the systems and compromise air quality.
Innovation Solution
An integrated adjusting system that shares a single air supply device for both seat and suspension functions, with air intake from the vehicle compartment to ensure clean air and reduce system volume.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If separate air supply devices are used for seat adjusting system and air suspension, then each system can be independently controlled, but the total volume of the system increases and occupies more internal space
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines two separate air supply devices into a single shared air supply device that serves both the seat adjusting system and the air suspension system. This merging reduces the total system volume and occupies less internal space while maintaining the functional requirements of both systems through centralized air supply management.
Solution Approach 2:
The shared air supply device is designed to perform multiple functions by supplying air to both the seat adjusting system and the air suspension system. This multi-functional design eliminates the need for separate air supply devices while ensuring both systems receive adequate air supply for their respective operations.
2Quantity of substance
If air intakes are arranged outside the vehicle compartment, then the system can draw sufficient air, but the air quality is affected by external environment and may cause damage to the system
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces the vehicle compartment as an intermediary environment between the external environment and the air intake system. By drawing air from inside the vehicle compartment rather than directly from outside, the system benefits from the protective barrier of the vehicle body that filters out many external contaminants while still providing sufficient air supply for system operation.
