Fig. 2 shows two adjustment and the degree of freedom of headrest 16.The amount of moving 15 after the height 13 of adjustable headrest and headrest 16.
As shown in Figure 3, headrest 16 comprises actuating unit known in the art with translation or rotation headrest 16.Such as, the actuator 18 of such as electrical motor, screw actuator or allied equipment is connected with multiple rack-and-pinion system, lever system, gear, cam, crank, connecting rod etc. the motion providing headrest 16.Actuator 18 is connected with the propulsion source 20 of such as vehicle battery or alternating current generator.Actuator 18 is also connected with the controller 22 (such as microcontroller or integrated circuit or like) controlling actuator 18.Controller 22 can open and close actuator, control the sense of motion that provided by actuator 18 and control the time length that actuator 18 runs, and this time length can be corresponding with the amount of movement of headrest 16.
Such as, configuration headrest 16 to move in multiple directions, such as, moves along the first axle 24, moves and rotate about the 3rd axle 28 along the second axle 26.Certainly, consider the translation about any axle or rotation, and headrest can about any amount of axle motion or the translation comprising single axle or more than three axles.Illustrate that the first axle 24 is vertically-oriented, or align with the longitudinal axis of vehicle seat assemblies 10 or backrest 12.Headrest 16 moves to change headrest 16 relative to vehicle seat assemblies 10 or the height 13 relative to the head of the passenger of seat 10 along this axle 24.Illustrate that the second axle 26 is consistent with the fore-and-aft direction of headrest 16 or vehicle seat assemblies 10, it is usually corresponding with the front/rear direction of the vehicle of mount pad seat assembly 10.Headrest 16 moves to adjust headrest 16 relative to the amount of moving 15 after vehicle seat assemblies 10 along this axle 26.Illustrate that the 3rd axle 28 in the side direction of headrest 16 or vehicle seat assemblies 10 or in a lateral direction.Headrest 16 rotates about this axle 28 or rotates with or tilt headrest folding relative to vehicle seat assemblies 10.As shown in Figure 1, rest the head on and 16 there is angular motion about axle 28 to rotate between design attitude and inclination or folding position.When vehicle seat assemblies 10 is vacant, headrest 16 can be placed in folding position.If vehicle seat 10 is occupied or by occupied, the tilt quantity adjusting headrest 16 is rotated about axle 28 by making headrest 16, such as, by scopes of 30 degree, 60 degree or some other amount forward or tilt forward and back headrest 16 to be applicable to the head position of passenger better.
As shown in the figure, sensor array 34 is supported by headrest 16, or alternately, it can be positioned at other positions on vehicle seat assemblies 10, such as, on backrest 12, car door, handrail, control desk or like.Sensor array 34 is electrically connected with controller 22 and is driven by propulsion source 20.Sensor array 34 comprises multiple capacitive transducers 36 that such as can be aligned to columns and rows.Alternately, sensor array 34 comprises any other position transduser multiple known in the art.
Each capacitive transducer 36 uses the principle of such as adjustable condenser, is operated by capacitance touch induction.In some embodiments, define cond based on printed circuit board (PCB) (PCB) and allow electric field leakage to enter region above cond, this region comprises the outside face of sensor array 34.User acts on this skin.Sensor mat and surrounding ground connection casting area (groundpour) (ground level below) define measurable baseline capacitance.
When the finger of such as user conductor close to or when touching the outside face of the sensor array 34 above open cond 36, electric field is interfered and causes final capacitance variations.The sensitivity adjusting sensor 36 by the detector integrated circuit that connects or controller 22 causes and needs the outside face of touch sensor array 34 with activated sensors 36.Outside face can play insulating barrier and provide the isolation between sensor 36 and user.The capacitance making the capacitance of this structure increase above baseline capacitance or exceed sensor 36 when not touching that is coupled of conductive fingers and capacitive transducer 36.
In some embodiments, the potential interference that the ground plane below sensor 36 helps its shielding to be produced by other electronicies package also contributes to maintaining more constant baseline capacitance.
With reference to figure 3 and 4, headrest 16 can move along in axle 24,26,28 between the first position and the second position relative to supporting construction 12.Primary importance and the second place can be the positions of the ultimate range that headrest 16 moves along each axle, such as maximum height and minimum constructive height, minimum and maximum after degree of moving and design attitude and inclination or folding position.Actuator 18 make headrest 16 along or move about one or more in axle 24,26,28.Sensor array 34 has first area 38 and second area 40.Although consider the region of any size or orientation, region 38,40 is shown in Fig. 4.Region 38,40 causes user to activate at least two sensors 36 in array 34.User usually slides along array 34 and points and activated sensors 36.If user have activated two sensors 36, first sensor 36 of activation will be in first area 38, and second sensor 36 activated will be in second area 40.The path of the sensor 36 activated defines the motion of headrest 16.On sensor array 34, first area 38 and second area 40 can be adjacent one another are or separated from one another.Each region 38,40 comprises one or more capacitive transducer 36 or other position transduser.Such as, user acts on first area 38 by activating the capacitive transducer being positioned at first area, and then slide immediately the sensor pointed or otherwise activate in second area 40 after acting on first area 38.Time limitation can be programmed into controller 22 and cause the signal needing to receive in the schedule time after the signal from the sensor 36 in first area 38 is identified as input from the sensor 36 in second area 40.Controller 22 receive and the signal processed from sensor array 34 and based on input come order actuator move headrest.
Such as, if the primary importance of headrest and the second place are separated along the longitudinal axis of vehicle seat assemblies or vertical axes, then the firstth district of sensor array and the secondth district directed similarly on sensor 34.When user activate to activate second area 40 behind first area 38 time (on Fig. 4 motion 42) from bottom to top, headrest 16 moves or translation along the longitudinal axis 24 away from supporting construction 12.Based on the amplitude of sliding, the length etc. of the quantity of the sensor 36 namely activated and/or the sensor array 34 of activation, headrest 16 can according to any position of the whole distance between the incremental translational between the first and second positions to the first and second positions.Similarly, headrest 16 moved from the second place by activating first area 38 (on Fig. 4 motion 42) from the top to the bottom after the second area 40 of activated sensors array 34 or moves to primary importance.
If primary importance and the second place of headrest 16 are separated along the front/rear axle 26 of vehicle seat assemblies 10, then the first and second regions 38,40 of sensor array are directed similarly on sensor array 34.When user activate to activate second area 40 behind first area 38 time (on Fig. 4 motion 44) from left to right, headrest 16 moves or translation backward along front/rear axle 26.Based on the amplitude of sliding, the length etc. of the quantity of the sensor 36 namely activated and/or the sensor array 34 of activation, headrest 16 can according to any position of the whole distance between the incremental translational between the first and second positions to the first and second positions.Similarly, first area 38 (on Fig. 4 motion 44) from right to left is then activated by headrest 16 from second place motion or move to primary importance by the second area 40 of activated sensors array 34.
If primary importance and the second place are separated about the transverse axis 28 of vehicle seat assemblies 10, to make it be in different angle position about axle 28, then the first and second regions 38,40 of sensor array are directed similarly on sensor array 34.When activating second area 40 after user activates first area 38 (clockwise movement 46 on Fig. 4), headrest 16 moves towards design attitude about transverse axis 28.Because it tilts by rotating about transverse axis 28, so headrest 16 will move along bow-shaped route.Consider the leaning forward and hypsokinesis in various degree of headrest 16, include but not limited to 30 degree, 60 degree, to front folding position or any other amount.If headrest 16 can lean forward or hypsokinesis to 30 degree, then resting the head on 16 can be placed in any position limited by this 30 angle value, that is, 10 degree, 15 degree backward, forward 20 degree etc. forward.Based on the amplitude of sliding, the length etc. of the quantity of the sensor 36 namely activated, the sensor array 34 of activation, headrest 16 can move to any position of the whole distance between these two positions according to the increment between the first and second positions.Similarly, by activated sensors array 34 second area 40 after activate first area 38 (counterclockwise movement 46 on Fig. 4) by headrest 16 from the second place motion or move to primary importance.
Headrest 16 can comprise the substrate (not shown) covered with foam spacer or other packing materials, and foam spacer or other packing materials are covered by guard shield 32 (such as fabric, leather or other similar materials) again conversely.In some embodiments, sensor array 34 is connected with substrate, and guard shield 32 is placed on sensor array 34 with covering sensor array 34.Guard shield 32 can have border (such as tape edge, different materials or analogue) to indicate the position of sensor array 34 to user.In other embodiments, sensor array 34 is incorporated in guard shield 32, and the guard shield 32 comprising sensor array 34 is attached on the substrate of headrest 16.Sensor 34 can make to have by flexible material the character being similar to guard shield 32.
For the headrest 16 with conventional control system (such as mechanical button or lever), this system is subject to the restriction of design constraint, namely, even if the relatively little surf zone being desirably in headrest 16 has the more than one position for User's Interface, also only there are a button or lever positions.Utilize the embodiment of present disclosure, because the size of array 34 is restricted unlike mechanical device, so, sensor array 34 can cover for user close to adjust these optimum positions more than one of headrest 16, or more than one array 34 can be used in more than one position, that is, by means of the use of controller 22, the array 34 on headrest 16 and the array 34 on supporting construction 12 or backrest are all possible.
In some embodiment shown in Fig. 3-4, vehicle seat assemblies 10 has the headrest 16 supported by supporting construction 12, and wherein resting the head on 16 can relative to supporting construction motion with along the first axle 24 translation, rotates along the second axle 26 translation with about the 3rd axle 28.Therefore, headrest 16 has 6 degree of freedom, but, consider and to be such as less than or more than 6 any amount of degree of freedom.
Actuator 18 is connected to headrest 16 to move headrest 16.Actuator 18 can comprise more than one motor and/or more than one mechanical system to provide the motion of required headrest 16.Such as, can provide 3 motors, each motion of translation uses one, and one for rest the head on 16 rotary motion.In addition, independent rack-and-pinion, lever, gear or other mechanical mechanisms can be provided for often kind of motion.
Sensor array 34 can comprise multiple capacitive transducer 36 or other position transduser and be electrically connected with controller 22.Capacitive transducer 36 is activated by user, and the pattern of the sensor activated during input or path determine the corresponding sports of headrest 16.Illustrate in Fig. 4 and the translation along the first axle 24, the translation along the second axle 26 and about the sample path of moving corresponding of the headrest 16 of the rotation of the 3rd axle 28 or pattern.The input of sensor array 36 is comprised to the activation of at least two adjacent sensors 36, and be input to allow controller 22 determine, may need to activate adjacent sensor in predetermined time restriction, make, between the activation of sensor 36, there is maximum time delay.When the sensor 36 that at least two on activated sensors array 34 on the direction corresponding with in axle 24,26,28 are adjacent, controller 22 order actuator 18 moves headrest 16 along this axle.When the quantity of the adjacent sensors 36 of the activation for inputting increases, headrest 16 can move corresponding longer distance along this axle.
Alternately, in primary importance or the second place of headrest 16, need at least one input from user, such as, use two fingers to activate headrest 16 about axle translation or rotation.This by least two sensors 36 of activated sensors array 34 in first area 38 or second area 40, and can prevent the unintended activation of headrest 16.
