Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Fahrzeugsitz, insbesondere einen Kraftfahrzeugsitz.The The invention relates to a vehicle seat, in particular a motor vehicle seat.
Bei einem bekannten Fahrzeugsitz wird beim Vorklappen der Lehnenstruktur das Sitzrahmenseitenteil mittels des Viergelenks in einer definierten Bewegung zwangsläufig zur Basis hin abgesenkt, was zu einer flachen Bodenstellung führt. Um eine Anpassung an möglichst viele Situationen zu gewährleisten, werden Übergänge in weitere ausgezeichnete Stellungen angestrebt, wobei zusätzliche Bewegungsmöglichkeiten erforderlich sind, deren Freiheitsgrade aber so reduziert werden müssen, dass man definierte, zwangsläufige Bewegungen erhält.at a known vehicle seat is when folding the backrest structure the seat frame side part by means of the four-bar linkage in a defined Movement inevitably lowered to the base, resulting in a flat bottom position. Around an adaptation to possible to ensure many situations will transitions into more aspired to excellent positions, with additional movement possibilities are required, but their degrees of freedom are so reduced have to, that one defined, inevitable Movements receives.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, einen Fahrzeugsitz der eingangs genannten Art zu verbessern. Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch einen Fahrzeugsitz mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Of the Invention is based on the object, a vehicle seat of the beginning to improve the type mentioned. This object is achieved by a vehicle seat with the features of claim 1 solved. advantageous Embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.
Dadurch, dass die Basis an einem strukturfest anbringbaren hinteren Fuß angelenkt und zwischen dem hinteren Fuß und der Lehnenstruktur eine Koppel vorgesehen ist, wodurch ein zweites Viergelenk definiert ist, ergibt sich eine weitere, definierte Bewegungsmöglichkeit, so dass insgesamt zwei ausgezeichnete Stellungen erreicht werden können. Gemeinsame Bauteile ermöglichen gemeinsame Fixierungen der Viergelenke. So ist die Lehnenstruktur vorzugsweise mittels wenigstens eines Beschlags an der Basis angelenkt, wobei der verriegelte Beschlag beide Viergelenke fixiert. Um beim Entriegeln des Beschlags nicht zugleich Bewegungen beider Viergelenke auszulösen, können in jedem Viergelenk weitere Mittel zum Fixieren, beispielsweise Verriegelungen oder dergleichen, vorgesehen sein.Thereby, that hinged the base to a structurally attachable rear foot and between the back foot and the backrest structure is provided a coupling, whereby a second Four-joint is defined, there is a further, defined movement possibility, so that a total of two excellent positions can be achieved can. Enable common components joint fixations of the four joints. So the backrest structure is preferably hinged by at least one fitting on the base, wherein the locked fitting fixed both four joints. To unlock of the fitting not at the same time trigger movements of both four joints, in each four-joint further means for fixing, for example, locks or the like, be provided.
Bei einem Schwenken der Lehnenstruktur relativ zur Basis legt das erste Viergelenk das Sitzrahmenseitenteil an die Basis an, um den Raumbedarf des zusammengeklappten Fahrzeugsitzes zu verringern. Dies kann beim Übergang in eine aufrecht zusammengeklappte, die Laderaumlänge vergrößernde Packagestellung erfolgen.at a pivoting of the backrest structure relative to the base lays the first Quad joint the seat frame side panel to the base to accommodate the space needed reduce the folded vehicle seat. This can be during the transition in a folded upright, the load compartment length magnifying packagestellung respectively.
Es kann aber auch beim Übergang in eine flach zusammengeklappte, die Laderaumhöhe vergrößernde Bodenstellung erfolgen, bei welcher die Koppel vorzugsweise längenveränderlich ist, um das zweite Viergelenk funktionslos zu setzen.It but also in the transition take place in a flat folded, the loading space height magnifying Bodenstellung, in which the coupling is preferably variable in length to the second Four-joint functionless.
Die Packagestellung wird erreicht, indem die Basis mittels eines vorderen Fußes lösbar strukturfest ist, sich beim Übergang von der Gebrauchsstellung in die Packagestellung löst und mit ihrem vorderen Ende nach oben schwenkt. Diese Schwenkbewegung der Basis wird vorzugsweise vom zweiten Viergelenk angetrieben und gesteuert, welches auch den ansonsten vorhandenen Freiheitsgrad der freien Schwenkbewegung beschränkt. Die Koppel bleibt dabei vorzugsweise längenunverändert, um die Schwenkbewegung definiert zu halten. Die Fixierung der beiden Viergelenke, d.h. insbesondere der vorzugsweise verwendete Beschlag, sichert den Fahrzeugsitz in der Packagestellung, so dass der Fahrzeugsitz sich während der Fahrt nicht bewegt.The Packagestellung is accomplished by the base by means of a front foot solvable is structurally solid, at the transition from the use position in the package order triggers and with pivots its front end upwards. This pivoting movement of Base is preferably driven and controlled by the second four-bar linkage which also the otherwise existing degree of freedom of the free pivoting movement limited. The coupling remains preferably unchanged in length to the pivoting movement to keep defined. The fixation of the two quadrilateral, i. in particular the preferably used fitting, secures the vehicle seat in the package order, so that the vehicle seat during the Ride is not moving.
Vorzugsweise ist der Fahrzeugsitz von der Packagestellung in eine Einstiegsstellung überführbar, um den Zugang zur hinteren Sitzreihe zu erleichtern. Hierfür ist der beispielsweise lösbar strukturfest angebrachte hintere Fuß durch Verschieben mittels einer Schienenanordnung und/oder durch eine Versatzbewegung mittels schwenkbarer Schwingen in eine andere Position in Sitzlängsrichtung überführbar.Preferably is the vehicle seat from the package order in an entry position transferred to to facilitate access to the rear row of seats. For this is the for example, detachable structurally attached rear foot by moving by means of a Rail arrangement and / or by an offset movement by means of swiveling Swing into another position in the seat longitudinal direction convertible.
