Abstract
A manual vehicle seat which allows a user to correctly position the seat is provided. The seat has a first seat portion 12 and a second seat portion 14 which is movably coupled to the first seat portion. A sensing device 20 provides a signal corresponding to at least one position of the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion and a memory device stores at least one value representative of a preferred position of the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion. An alert means alerts a user when the user is adjusting the seat position that the signal value provided by the sensing device corresponds to the stored value. This is thought to provide a cheap and simple way of allowing the positional preferences of a user to be remembered for use with a manual seat.
Description
Improved Manual Vehicle Seat The present invention relates to manual vehicle seats. In particular, but not exclusively, the invention relates to improved manual vehicle seats having means to assist a user to correctly adjust the position of the seat to suit the particular user.
The position of modern vehicle seats can typically be adjusted in many separate ways, including adjustment of the back rest angle, fore/aft position, lumbar position, seat height and so on. For instance, a user can operate a control such as a lever or dial to rotate the back rest portion of the seat about a pivot pin to adjust the angle. Or, the base seat portion can be released from its supporting guide track and linearly moved along the guide track in a fore or aft direction before reengaging with the guide track. The combination of these parameters produces a vast number of possible overall seat positions.
A known problem is that many vehicles are shared by more than one user, each with their own preferred seat position. It is inconvenient for each user to reposition a manual seat every time they enter the vehicle alter a previous user.
Also, due to the number of parameters and possible combinations, a user may have difficulty in finding the preferred seat position and frequent retuning may be required.
It is desirable to provide means which removes at least some of this inconvenience when repositioning a manual seat. It is desirable to provide means which removes the requirement for repeated retuning of the position of a manual seat.
The problem is to a large extent removed by automatic vehicle seats which include actuators, such as a stepper motor, foi automatically moving the seat, a memory for storing at least one preferred seat position, a processor for controlling movement of the seat to the stored position and specialised controls for initiating control of the actuators. Typically the memory stores a displacement'rotation value for each actuator, which corresponds to a particular seat position. A user can operate a specialised control which causes the S processor to operate the actuator to move the seat until the seat position matches the stored position. Following operation of the control, no further action is required by the user.
However, these automatic vehicle seats are significantly more complex, have a greater number of parts, and are therefore considerably more expensive than manual seats. Furthermore, clearly manual seats lack the actuators of automatic seats and so it is not simply a matter of providing a memory that could store a seat position. Rather, each of the actuators, memory, processor and specialised controls are essential components for an automatic seat with memory.
Powered seats include the actuators, processor and controls, but do not include the memory and the user must judge when the seat is in the correct position.
Such seats still require the most complex and expensive components, and clearly they do not solve the problem of assisting the user to find the desired seat position.
Also, typically the actuators of automatic or powered seats are operated slowly and it can take some time to reach the preferred seat position, even in the case that only one actuator is being operated. A user simply wishing to move the seat forward, for example, can achieve this manually in a shorter time. However, automatic and powered seats with actuators typically do not allow free manual adjustment of the seat (and do not include the manual controls for this).
It is desirable to provide a manual seat which provides at least some of the advantages of an automatic seat but which is simpler and therefore less expensive.
I
According to the present invention there is provided a manual vehicle seat comprising: a first seat portion; a second seat portion which is movably coupled to the first seat portion; a sensing device adapted to provide a signal corresponding to at east one position of the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion; memory means for storing at least one value representative of a preferred position of the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion; and alert means for alerting a user when the user is adjusting the seat position that the signal value provided by the sensing device corresponds to the stored value.
The alert means may comprise one or more of audio, visual and tactile means.
The alert means may comprise at least one of a buzzer, an LED, and a lamp which is aclivated when the signal value corresponds to the stored value.
The manual vehicle seat may include a comparator member adapted to compare the signal value with the stored value. The comparator member may comprise a voltage or current comparator. The comparator member may comprise an operational amplifier comparator.
Alternatively, the manual vehicle seat may include a processor adapted to provide the comparator member.
A-
The sensing device may comprise a potentiometer device having a resistance member and a contact member which is movable relative to the resistance member. One of the contact member and the resistance member may be provided at the first seat portion and the other of the contact member and the resistance member at the second seat portion. The potentiometer device may comprise a linear potentiometer or a rotary potentiometer.
The memory means may include at least a first user control and be adapted to store the signal value when the first user control is operated.
The first user control may be adapted to adjust the position of one of the contact member and the resistance member when operated. The first user control may be adapted to physically move the contact member to a particular position when operated.
The first seat portion may comprise a guide track, pivot pin or the like. A linear potentiometer may be provided at the guide track. A rotary potentiometer may be provided at the pivot pin.
Alternatively, the sensing device may comprise a magnetic or optical sensor.
Alternatively, the sensing device may comprise a movable mechanical stop member adapted to limit movement of the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion when the stop member is moved to an engaged position. In this case, the set position or orientation of the stop member provides the memory means and halting of the seat movement alerts the user that the seat is in the correct position.
Alternatively, the manual vehicle seat may include adjustable biasing means operable to bias the second seat portion towards a particular position of the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion. In this case, the adjusted setting of the biasing means provides the memory means and halting of the seat movement alerts the user that the seat is in the correct position. The biasing means may comprise a spring having an adjustable spring preload.
The memory means may be adapted to store a plurality of values, each representative of a preferred position.
The term "manual vehicle seat" is to be interpreted as a vehicle seat which allows a user to manuafly adjust the position of the seat.
The manual vehicle seat may include an actuator for moving the second seat portion relative to the first seat portion, and the manual vehicle seat may be operable in an automatic mode in which the actuator moves the second seat portion and a manual mode in which the user freely moves the second seat portion.
Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of a manual vehicle seat; Figure 2 is a perspective view of a first seat portion of the vehicle seat of Figure 1 with housing and padding portions removed for clarity; Figure 3 is a detailed perspective view of the indicated portion of the first seat portion of Figure 2; and Figure 4 is a perspective view of memory means of the vehicle seat of Figure 1.
Figure 1 shows a manual vehicle seat 10 which comprises a first seat portion in the form of a fixed supporting guide track 12 and a second or base seat portion 14. The base seat portion 14 is linearly movable along the guide track 12 in either direction for adjusting the fore/aft position of the seat 10.
In another embodiment, the second seat portion is the back rest portion 16 which is pivotable relative to the base seat portion 14, and the base seat portion 14 is the first seat portion in this embodiment.
S
As shown in Figures 2 and 3, a sensing device in the form of a linear potentiometer 20 is provided at the interface of the guide track 12 and base seat portion 14. A potentiometer is a variable resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. Potentiometers are simple and inexpensive components, commonly used to control electrical devices such as volume controls (rotary dials and linear faders) on audio equipment.
The potentiometer 20 comprises a body 22 and contact 24 fixed to the base seat portion 14 and a resistance strip 26 fixed to the guide track 12. Therefore, the contact 24 moves relative to the resistance strip 26 when the base seat portion 14 is moved relative to the guide track 12. The contact 24 and resistance strip 26 form part of an electronic control circuit. The resistance of this part of the circuit, and therefore an output voltage of the circuit, varies proportionally depending on the posftion of the contact 24 along the resistance strip 26. This output voltage of the circuit is used as a signal and the value of the signal depends on the position of the base seat portion 14 relative to the guide track 12.
The seat 10 also includes memory means for storing an output voltage value.
The memory means includes a number of user controls 30 as shown in Figure 4.
In use, a user can adjust the fore/aft seat position and, when a preferred position is found, the user can press and hold one 32 of the user controls 30. This causes the value of the output voltage for that position to be stored at a memory location corresponding to the user control 32 which has been utilised.
In this embodiment, five user controls 30 are provided which represents five different preferred positions of the base seat portion 14 relative to the guide track 12.
The control circuit also includes a comparator in the form of an op amp. The comparator has two inputs: the output voltage and a stored voltage value.
However, the input of the stored voltage value can be changed to another stored voltage value by the user momentarily pressing the associated user control 32.
The comparator is configured to compare the output voltage with the selected stored voltage value. When the two values are the same, the comparator outputs a signal representative of this.
An alert means, such as a simple buzzer, is provided in the circuit and configured to be activated when the comparator outputs the representative signal.
Therefore, the user is audibly alerted during adjusting of the seat position when the preferred (stored) seat position is reached.
The present invention assists the user to find a preferred seat position, in this case a preferred fore/aft position. It can be seen that the invention does this using simple, inexpensive and readily available components. As for known systems, many of the components have to be replicated for each type of seat positioning (back rest angle, lumbar position, seat height and so on). However, unlike known systems, the cost of the components is very low and so replicating components does not significantly add to the cost of the overall seat 10.
In other embodiments, different forms of simple sensors can be used. For instance, the sensing device could be a magnetic sensor. In one embodiment using such a sensor, the resistance strip 26 can be replaced by a conductive strip and the contact 24 can be configured to be movable along the guide track 12 independently of the movement of the base seat portion 14. When the magnetic sensor aligns with the contact 24, a circuit is made which includes the magnetic sensor, contact 24 and conductive strip.
In this embodiment, the memory means can adjust the position of the contact 24 along the conductive strip. This may even be performed using mechanical linkages and the like such that electronic memory may be omitted.
It should be noted that in this embodiment an output signal is only output when the circuit is made at a particular position of the seat 10, rather than a continuous but variable output signal. The comparator can be omitted and the output signal used to directly drive the alert.
Therefore, the arrangement of this embodiment is even simpler since electronic memory and comparator components can be omitted.
Whilst specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, ft will be appreciated that departures from the described embodiments may still fall within the scope of the present invention.
