Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-172349

  However, the conventional bucket seat has a large skeleton and cannot be said to be sufficiently lightened.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicular seat that is a bucket-type seat and has a structure that can easily realize slimming and weight reduction of a skeleton.

In order to solve such a problem, the present invention provides a bucket type vehicle seat,
The skeleton part that forms the skeleton of the vehicle seat is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the front or the rear of the vehicle.

  When a load acts on the vehicle seat (for example, when a load on the vehicle rear acts on the vehicle seat due to an impact at the time of rear-end collision), the configuration of the vehicle seat causes the upper part of the skeleton part to It is a normal phenomenon that the input load gradually increases from the floor fastening point (for example, the fastening point to the slide rail on the vehicle floor), and the magnitude of the load is shown in the figure as a substantially triangular bending moment line. It becomes a figure (BMD) (see FIG. 1). The vehicle seat according to the present invention pays attention to this property, and is formed in a substantially triangular shape so that bending moments of the same magnitude act on each part, so that the skeleton forming the skeleton of the conventional vehicle seat Compared to the part (when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle, the silhouette is substantially square. See FIGS. 12 and 13), it is possible to achieve slimming and light weight.

  The skeleton has a shape that becomes narrower toward the top.

  Moreover, the flange part may be formed in the both sides of the said frame | skeleton part. When a tensile load is applied to the flange portion as the skeleton portion is deformed, the deformation amount of the skeleton portion can be suppressed.

  The flange portion may have a shape protruding toward the front or upward of the vehicle.

  Further, the flange portion may be formed to be bent as viewed from the front or the rear of the vehicle. When both sides of the triangle are imaginary lines, the rigidity of the skeleton part can be adjusted by the amount of curvature on both sides of the skeleton part protruding outside or inside the imaginary line.

  Further, the protruding amount of the flange portion may gradually decrease toward the upper side of the vehicle seat.

  The backrest of the vehicle seat may be fixed to the upper part of the skeleton part.

  The backrest of the vehicle seat may be supported to be tiltable by the skeleton.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicular seat that is a bucket type seat and has a structure that can easily realize slimming and weight reduction of a skeleton.

  Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings (see FIG. 1 and the like). In FIG. 1 and the like, the present invention will be described with reference to an example in which the present invention is applied to a bucket type automobile seat with improved occupant holdability.

  The vehicle seat 1 is a so-called bucket seat that includes a skeleton 5, a seat 2 and a backrest 3 supported by the skeleton 5, a headrest 4, and the like. The bucket seat includes a full bucket seat in which the backrest 3 is fixed, and a semi-bucket seat in which the backrest 3 is movable and can perform a reclining operation. The vehicle seat 1 according to the present invention includes any bucket seat. It can also be applied to sheets.

  The skeleton 5 is a member that forms the skeleton of the vehicle seat 1 and is disposed on the floor panel of the vehicle and supports the seat 2 and the backrest 3 (see FIG. 1 and the like). For example, in this embodiment, the skeleton 5 is attached to the slide rail 9 on the floor panel so as to be slidable back and forth (see FIG. 3 and the like). The skeleton 5 of the present embodiment is made of a high-rigidity member formed of, for example, a high-tensile steel plate or FRP (fiber reinforced resin), and supports a backrest 3 from a seat 52 that supports the seat 2. It is integrally formed so as to continue to the squeezed portion 53 (see FIG. 2 and the like).

  Further, in the vehicle seat 1 of the present embodiment, the skeleton 5 is formed in a substantially triangular shape when viewed from the front or the rear of the vehicle, and has a shape that becomes narrower toward the top (FIG. 2, (See FIG. 5).

  Flange portions 51 are formed on both side portions 5s of the skeleton portion 5 so as to be bent and protrude toward the front of the vehicle. When a so-called rear collision occurs in which the other vehicle collides with the rear portion of the vehicle, a force acts on the skeleton portion 5 so as to warp backward due to an impact at the time of the collision. At this time, as a result of the tensile load acting on the flange 51 along with the deformation of the skeleton 5, the amount of deformation of the skeleton 5 is suppressed.

  The flange portion 51 is formed so that the amount of protrusion toward the front of the vehicle gradually decreases toward the top of the vehicle seat 1 (see FIGS. 6 to 9). At the time of a rear collision, a backward bending moment acts on the skeleton part 5 due to the action of an inertial force or the like, and this bending moment may act more in the lower part of the skeleton part 5. In this regard, in the present embodiment, the lower part of the skeleton part 5 is formed such that the protruding amount of the flange part 51 is increased so that the tensile stress acting on the flange part 51 of the skeleton part 5 is equalized (see FIG. 6 etc.).

  Further, the flange portion 51 may have a cross-sectional shape (see FIG. 7) in which the front edge of the vehicle is bent inward (see FIGS. 7 to 9), or a middle portion thereof is bent in a crank shape. By setting it as such a shape, the rigidity with which the skeleton part 5 is equipped can be adjusted, and the difficulty of deformation | transformation of the skeleton part 5 at the time of a rear collision etc. can be changed. Since the lower part of the skeleton part 5 of this embodiment has a bifurcated shape (see FIG. 2), the cross section of the skeleton part 5 is on both sides in FIG. Only appears, not in the center (see FIG. 7).

  Although not particularly shown in the figure, the thickness of the flange 51 may be changed instead of or in combination with the amount of protrusion of the flange 51 depending on the height as described above. For example, the tensile stress acting on the flange portion 51 of the skeleton portion 5 can be made uniform by forming the flange portion 51 so as to be thinner toward the upper side of the vehicle seat 1.

  Further, the skeleton part 5 is formed such that the flange parts 51 formed on both side parts 5s thereof are curved when viewed from the front or rear of the vehicle (see FIGS. 2 and 5). For example, in the vehicle seat 1 of the present embodiment, when both sides of an isosceles triangle that controls the general shape of the skeleton part 5 are imaginary lines, of the flange parts 51 formed on both side parts 5s of the skeleton part 5, The upper part bulges outward from the imaginary line (projects outward), while the lower part is curved to dent inward from the imaginary line (see FIG. 2 and the like). When a force that totally warps backward is applied to (see FIG. 4), the curved flange portion 51 is pulled in the vertical direction, and when it becomes a straight line, it is stretched to apply tensile stress, and the skeleton portion 5 The warping is suppressed as described above (see FIG. 5 and the like). In other words, the rigidity of the skeleton part 5 can be adjusted by the amount of bending of the flange portions 51 of the both side parts 5s of the skeleton part 5 protruding outside or inside the imaginary line. In addition to the bending amount of the flange portion 51, the thickness of the flange portion 51, the forward protrusion amount, the rigidity of the flange portion 51 itself, and the like influence the rigidity of the skeleton portion 5.

  The seat 2 is disposed below the skeleton part 5 and supported by the skeleton part 5.

  The backrest 3 is disposed in front of the backrest 53 of the skeleton 5 (see FIG. 3 and the like). The specific support structure is not particularly limited. For example, if the backrest 3 is fixed to the upper part of the skeleton 5, the load input from the backrest 3 is transmitted to the entire skeleton 5, and the flange portion 51 is transmitted as a tensile load.

  In the present embodiment, the backrest 3 is supported by the skeleton 5 so as to be tiltable, and the angle of the backrest 3 can be adjusted by the angle adjusting device 7. The angle adjustment device 7 includes, for example, a connecting link 71 that is disposed between the backrest 3 and the skeleton 5 and is pin-coupled to each of the backrest 3 and the skeleton 5 with a certain amount of frictional force (see FIGS. 10 and 10). 11 etc.). The connecting link 71 regulates the movement of the backrest 3 when tilting and its movable region, and the backrest 3 is in a predetermined range between the forward tilt position (see FIG. 10) and the back tilt position (see FIG. 11). It functions to allow the backrest 3 to be tilted and to maintain the angle of the backrest 3 using a frictional force.

  Further, a seat surface position adjusting device for adjusting the position of the seat surface of the seat 2 may be provided between the seat 2 and the skeleton 5. The seat surface position adjusting device may be interlocked with the tilting motion of the backrest 3. Although not shown in detail in detail, the seat surface position adjusting device includes, for example, a support pin that supports the seat 2 so as to be tiltable in the skeleton 5, and a link that transmits the tilting motion of the backrest 3 to the seat 2. be able to.

  In the vehicle seat 1 of the present embodiment, paying attention to the fact that the input load acting on the skeleton part is represented as a substantially triangular bending moment diagram (BMD), the skeleton part 5 is formed in a substantially triangular shape, A bending moment of the same magnitude is applied to each part of the skeleton part 5. For this reason, according to this embodiment, compared with the conventional vehicle seat in which the silhouette of the skeleton when viewed from the front or the rear of the vehicle is substantially square, the skeleton 5 is slimmed and the weight is reduced. be able to.

  The above-described embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, in the embodiment described above, an example in which the present invention is applied to an automobile seat has been described. However, the present invention can also be applied to an aircraft seat, a passenger ship seat, a railway vehicle seat, and the like.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the skeleton part 5, the seat part 52 and the backrest part 53 are integrally configured (see FIG. 3), and the backrest 3 is placed on the backrest part 53 of the skeleton part 5. Although it demonstrated while showing what was supported so that inclination was possible (refer FIG. 10, FIG. 11), these are only a suitable example. In addition, the present invention can also be applied to the vehicle seat 1 having the skeleton portion 5 in which the backrest portion 53 is connected to the seat portion 52 so as to be tiltable.

  The present invention is suitably applied to a vehicle seat used for an automobile or the like.
