Description

Connecting Device for Electrically Connecting a Removable Seat of a Vehicle to a Power Source The invention relates to a connecting device for electrically connecting a removable seat of a vehicle to a power source of the vehicle.
It is known from the general prior art that modern vehicle seats are usually equipped with comfort systems such as massage elements and/or seat heatings to provide a particularly high seating comfort. The comfort systems are operated electrically so that they must be connected to a power source of the vehicle. It has been shown that it is quite complicated to connect electrically operated comfort systems of removable vehicle seats to respective power sources of the vehicles and realize the possibility to adjust the seats.
EP 1 626 470 A2 shows a power distribution system for supplying a seat of an aircraft with electricity. Moreover, a system for electrically connecting a vehicle seat can be found in WO 2005/047052 Al, the system comprising a contact plate arranged in or on the floor and a fixing element that is arranged on a seat frame part and is detachably connected to the contact plate. Furthermore, US 7 284 989 Bl shows an electrical connector system for a removable vehicle seat including an axle and a locator mounted to the axle.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a connecting device for electrically connecting a removable seat of a vehicle to a power source of the vehicle so that the removable seat can be adjusted and supplied with electricity in a particularly simple way.
This object is solved by a connecting device having the features of patent claim 1.
Advantageous embodiments with expedient and non-trivial developments of the invention Aare indicated in the other patent claims.
In order to provide a connecting device by means of which a removable seat of the vehicle can be supplied with electricity in a very simple way and which allows the seat to be adjusted, according to the present invention, the connecting device comprises at least one seat rail attachable to a body of the vehicle. The seat rail is capable of removably holding and guiding the seat. This means the seat can be removably attached to the seat rail and slid along the seat rail. In other words, in a state in which this seat is removably attached to the seat rail the seat can be slid along the seat rail. Thereby, the seat can be adjusted along the seat rail in a need-based manner by a seat occupant. Thus, a very high seating comfort can be provided.
The connecting device also comprises at least one sliding element connected to the rail.
The sliding element comprises a base part having at least one first contact element being electrically connectable to the power source of the vehicle. Furthermore, the sliding element comprises a connecting part being mounted on the base part. The connecting part has at least one second contact element. Moreover, the connecting part is movable between at least one locking position and at least one release position in relation to the base part. In the locking position the sliding element is locked to the seat rail so that the sliding element cannot be slid along the seat rail. In the release position the sliding element is released so that the sliding element can be slid along and in relation to the seat rail.
Moreover, the second contact element is electrically connected to the first contact element in the release position. Thereby, the second contact element can be supplied with electricity from the power source via the first contact element. In the locking position the second contact element is electrically disconnected from the first contact element so that the second contact element cannot be supplied with electricity via the first contact element.
The connecting part is configured to be connected to the seat and moved from the locking position into the released position by removably connecting the seat to the connecting part when the seat is removably mounted on the seat rail thereby electrically connecting at least one third contact element of the seat to the first contact element via the second element. This means the connecting part is moved in the release position and connected to the seat when the seat is removably connected to the seat rail and the connecting part.
Thereby, the sliding element can be moved together with the seat when the seat is slid along the seat rail. In other words, the sliding element is coupled to the seat via the connecting element so that the sliding element moves along with the seat when the seat is slid along the seat rail. Moreover, the third contact element of the seat is electrically connected to the first contact element via the second contact element which is in turn electrically connected to the first and the third contact element in the release position.
Thus, the seat, in particular at least one electrically operated component of the seat can be supplied with electricity from the power source via the contact elements in every position of the seat along the seat rail.
If the seat is removed from the seat rail and the connecting element, the connecting element can be moved from the release position into the locking position so that the second contact element is disconnected from the first contact element and the power supply.
Further advantages, features, and details of the invention derive from the following description of a preferred embodiment as well as from the drawings. The features and feature combinations previously mentioned in the description as well as the features and feature combinations mentioned in the following description of the figures and/or shown in the figures alone can be employed not only in the respective indicated combination but also in any other combination or taken alone without leaving the scope of the invention.
The drawings show in: Fig. 1 a schematic top view of a seating system of a vehicle, the seating system comprising a removable seat and a connecting device for electrically connecting the removable seat to a power source of the vehicle; Fig. 2 a schematic perspective view of a sliding element and a roller element which are components of the connecting device; Fig. 3 part of a schematic perspective view of a seat rail of the connecting device; Fig. 4 a schematic sectional view of the connecting device.
Fig. 1 shows a seating system 10 for a vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle. The seating system 10 comprises two seat rails 12 which are mounted on a floor 14 of the vehicle. The seating system 10 also comprises at least one removable seat 16. According to Fig. 1, the removable seat 16 is removably mounted on the seat rails 12 so that the seat 16 can be slid along the seat rails 12. This is illustrated by a directional arrow 18. By sliding the seat 16 forwards and backwards in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, an occupant of the seat 16 can adjust the seat 16 in a need-based manner. Thereby, the occupant can adjust the seat 16 in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle with respect to the height of the occupant. Thus, a particularly high seating comfort can be realized.
The seat 16 comprises at least one comfort device. The comfort device is, for example, a seat heater comprising at least one heating mat 20 illustrated in Fig. 4. By means of the heating mat 20 a seating surface 22 (Fig. 1) can be heated. The seat heater also comprises a control unit 24 (Fig. 4) by means of which the temperature of the heat mat 20 and the seating surface 22 can be controlled. Moreover, the heating mat 20 is supplied with electricity via the control unit 24. This means the seat heater is an electrically operated comfort device which needs to be connected to a power source of the vehicle so that the seat heater can be supplied with electricity from the power soulce.
As can be seen in Figs. 1 and 3, the respective seat rail 12 has a guiding channel 26 in which at least one connecting element of the seat 16 can be arranged to removably mount the seat 16 on the respective seat rail 12.
In order to realize the possibility of sliding the seat 16 along the respective seat rail 12 and supply the seat heater in every position of the seat 16 along the respective seat rail 12 with electricity, the seating system 10 comprises a connecting device 28 for connecting the removable seat 16 to the power source of the vehicle. The connecting device 28 comprises at least one of the seat rails 12 attached to the body of the vehicle via the floor 14. The seat rail 12 is capable of removably holding and guiding the seat 16.
The connecting device 28 also comprises at least one sliding element 30 shown in Figs. 2 and 4. As can be seen in Fig. 4, the sliding element 30 is arranged in the guiding channel 26 at least partly and connected to the seat rail 12. The sliding element 30 comprises a based part 32 having at least one first contact element being electrically connectable to the power source. The first contact element cannot be seen in the Figs. For example, the base part 32 has a housing 34 made of a plastic material. The first contact element is mounted on the housing 34, the first contact element being made of a metallic material.
As can be seen in Fig. 2, the connecting device 28 has at least one wire 36 via which the first contact element is connected to the power source of the vehicle.
The sliding element 30 further comprises a connecting part 38. The connecting part 38 is mounted on the base pad 32 and has two second contact elements 40. The connecting part 38 is movable between at least one locking position and at least one release position in relation to the base part 32, the locking position being shown in Figs. 2 and 4. Thus, by moving the connecting part 38 the second contact elements 40 are moved in relation to the base part 32 as well.
In the locking position the sliding element 30 is locked to the seat rail 12 so that the sliding element 30 cannot be slid along the seat rail 12. For locking the sliding element 30 the connecting part 38 has lateral receptacles 42 and lateral protrusions 44. In the locking position the protrusions 44 engage corresponding receptacles 46 (Fig. 3) of the seat rail 12. Moreover, protrusions 48 of the seat rail 12 engaged the corresponding receptacles 42 in the locking position. Thus, a form-fit between the seat rail 12 and the connecting part 38 is realized in the locking position so that the sliding element 30 is locked to the seat rail 12 via the connecting part 38.
In order to move the connecting part 38 from the locking position into the release position the connecting part 38 is to be pushed towards the base part 32 until the form-fit between the connecting part 38 and the seat rail 12 is annulled. Then the sliding element 30 can be slid in relation to the seat rail 12.
In the release position the second contact elements 40 are electrically connected to the first contact element. Hence, the second contact elements 40 can be supplied with electricity via the first contact element and the wire 36. In the release position the second contact elements 40 are disconnected from the first contact element so that the second contact elements 40 cannot be supplied with electricity anymore.
As can be seen from Fig. 4, the seat 16 has a bracket 50 which is made of, for example, a plastic material. Moreover, the seat 16 has a third contact element 52 which is attached to the bracket 50. For example, the second contact elements 40 and the third contact element 52 are made of a metallic material.
The connecting element 38 has a receptacle 54 for receiving the third contact element 52 at least partly. When the seat the seat 16 is removably mounted on the seat rail 12, the seat 16 is removably connected to the sliding element 30 via the connecting part 38 in such a way that the third contact element 52 is inserted into the corresponding receptacle 54. By mounting the seat lBon the seat rail 12 and the sliding element 30, a force is exerted by the seat 16 on the connecting part 38 in the vertical direction of the vehicle towards the floor 14. This force is illustrated by a directional arrow 56 in Fig. 4.
Thereby, the connecting part 38 is pushed towards the base part 32 into the release position. Moreover, the third contact element 52 is electrically connected to the second contact elements 40. Thus, the seat is electrically connected to the power source of the vehicle via the third contact element 52, the second contact elements 40, the first contact element and the wire 36. Moreover, the sliding element 30 can be moved together with the seat 16 along the seat rail 12 when the seat 16 is slid along the seat rail 12 since the seat 16 and the sliding element 30 are removably connected to one another by means of the receptacle 54 and the third contact element 52.
As can be seen in Fig. 4, the control unit 24 is electrically connected to the third contact element 52 by means of at least one wire 58. Thus, the control unit 24 and the heat mat 20 can be supplied with electricity from the power source via the wire 58. Since the sliding element 30 is moved together with the seat 16 when the seat 16 is slid along the seat rail 12, the heat mat 20 can be supplied with electricity in every position of the seat 16 along the seat rail 12. Moreover, the seat 16 can be mounted on and removed from the seat rail 12 in a particularly easy way.
The sliding element 30 comprises two springs 60 which are supported on the connecting part 38 and the base part 32. When the connecting part 38 is pushed towards the base part 32, the springs 60 are loaded. This means the springs 60 are loaded in the release position. Since the springs 60 are loaded in the release position a force is exerted by the springs 60 on the connecting part 36 in the vertical direction towards the top. However, the connecting part 38 is held in its release position by the seat 16.
If the seat 16 is removed from the seat rail 12 and the sliding element 30 the springs 60 can expand at least partly. Thereby, the connecting part 38 is pushed away from the base part 32 by means of the springs 60. By moving the connecting part 38 from its release position into its locking position the sliding element 30 is not only locked to the seat rail 12 but the second contact elements 40 are also electrically disconnected from the first contact element.
As can be seen in Fig. 2, the connecting device 28 also comprises at least one roller element 62. The roller element 62 is attached to the seat rail 12 via a roller housing 64 and a holding bracket 66 being attached to the seat rail 12. The roller element 62 is pivotably mounted on the housing 64 about a rotation axis. The roller element 62 serves for winding and unwinding the wire 36. In other words, if the seat 16 and, thus, the sliding element 30 are slid along the seat rail 12 away from the roller element 62 the wire 36 is unwound from the roller element 62. If the seat 16 and, thus, the sliding element 30 are slid along the seat rail 12 towards the roller element 62 the wire 36 is wound around the roller element 62.
Preferably, the connecting device 28 comprises at least one spring element for driving the roller element 62 to wind the wire 36 onto the roller element 62 when the seat 16 and, thus, the sliding element 30 are slid along the seat rail 12 towards the roller element 62.
The sliding element 30, the wire 36 and the roller element 62 together with the housing 64 and the holding bracket 66 are assembled together and mounted on the seat rail 12 to avoid external packaging.
The connecting device 28 can also be used to supply other electrically components and/or more than just one electrically operated component of a seat with electricity from the power source. By means of the connecting device 28 a very long travel of the seat 16 along the seat rail 12 can be realized as well as the removability of the seat 16 and the supply of electrically operated components with electricity in every position of the seat 16.
