Description

The present invention relates to a vehicle seat, and more particularly to a vehicle seat equipped with a rail device that supports a seat main body so as to be movable in the front-rear direction of the seat.

Conventionally, in a vehicle seat equipped with a rail device that supports the seat body so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction of the seat relative to the vehicle floor, a substantially L-shaped connecting bracket is used to connect the seat body and the rail device. It is being
The connection bracket is generally attached to the upper surface of the upper rail of the rail device using bolts, rivets, etc., but a new technique is known in which it is joined by laser welding for the purpose of reducing the number of parts and lightening the seat. (See Patent Documents 1 and 2).

However, in Patent Documents 1 and 2, by irradiating the connecting bracket and the upper rail with a laser beam from directly above the connecting bracket, a part of the connecting bracket is mainly melted and joined to the upper rail. There was a risk that the welding strength would be reduced compared to when the laser beam was directly irradiated to the part where the upper rail and the upper rail were in contact.
In addition, since the connection bracket is generally thicker than the upper rail, laser welding from directly above the connection bracket may reduce the welding strength, and it may be necessary to increase the laser irradiation intensity, which may be affected by heat. There was a risk that it would become easier.
Therefore, there has been a need for a technology that can further improve the joint strength by laser welding and facilitate welding work.

In addition, some of the vehicle seats mentioned above are further equipped with a height link device and a reclining device that support the seat body so that it can be raised and lowered. It was necessary to perform assembly work including

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the joint strength of component parts by welding, and to provide a vehicle with a rail device that can facilitate welding work. The purpose is to provide seats.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle seat with a rail device that can be assembled, including welding, in consideration of the arrangement relationship with component parts such as a height link device. be.

According to the vehicle seat of the present invention, the above-mentioned problem can be solved by: a seat cushion serving as a seating portion; a lower rail attached to the vehicle body floor and extending in a predetermined direction; It includes an upper rail that supports a cushion, and a connection bracket that is attached to the upper rail to connect the upper rail and the seat cushion, and the connection bracket has an abutment that abuts a contact portion provided on the upper rail. a welding mark is formed on at least one of the abutting part and the abutting part, by welding the outer peripheral part of the part where the abutting part and the abutting part come into contact; The welding marks are solved by extending along the outer peripheral portion.

As mentioned above, the outer periphery of the abutted part of the upper rail and the abutted part of the connection bracket are welded together, so the upper rail and the connection bracket are in contact with each other compared to the conventional example. Since the parts can be directly welded, the joint strength by welding can be improved.
Moreover, since the welding marks formed by welding extend along the outer periphery of the mutually abutting parts, welding strength can be further improved.

At this time, the abutting portion abuts the abutted portion in the vertical direction, and the outer peripheral portion of the connecting bracket is laser welded from at least one side in the seat width direction, so that the connecting bracket is attached to the upper rail. It would be good if it was attached to.
As described above, by performing laser welding from the outside or inside in the sheet width direction, welding work can be performed from a position where it is relatively easy to secure space.
Further, by selecting laser welding among various welding methods, welding work can be performed even more easily.

At this time, the welding marks include a first welding part extending along the outer surface in the sheet width direction, and a second welding part extending along the inner surface in the sheet width direction, among the outer peripheral portions; It is good to have the following.
With the above configuration, the joint strength of the connection bracket can be further improved, and in particular, stress applied in the seat width direction can be efficiently received.

At this time, it is preferable that a notch is formed in a part of the outer peripheral portion of the contact portion, and the welding trace extends along the outer peripheral portion including the notch.
By forming the above-mentioned notch, it is possible to extend the weldable outer peripheral portion, so that the welding strength is improved and the degree of freedom of the welding position is increased.

At this time, the connection bracket includes a bottom wall portion that comes into contact with the upper surface of the upper rail, and a side wall portion that continuously extends upward from an inner portion of the bottom wall portion in the seat width direction and to which the seat cushion side is attached. It is preferable that the notch is formed in an outer portion of the bottom wall portion in the sheet width direction.
With the above configuration, when forming a notch in the outer peripheral portion of the bottom wall part, the notch can be provided at a position where laser welding work can be easily performed while avoiding the position of the side wall part.

At this time, the seat cushion and the connection bracket are connected to each other, and the first link and the second link are attached so as to be rotatable with respect to the connection bracket, and the first link is connected to the second link. It is preferable that the link be disposed further forward of the seat and at a different position from the second link in the seat width direction.
Generally, a vehicle seat equipped with a height link device needs to be designed so that the height control lever does not protrude outward in the seat width direction from the seat body as much as possible. A technique is known in which a second link (drive link) in a position is offset inwardly with respect to a first link.
Further, by offsetting the links, the joint strength of the connection brackets is required to be higher than usual, but with the above configuration, it is possible to sufficiently secure the joint strength of the connection brackets.

At this time, it is preferable that a plurality of cutouts be formed between the first link and the second link in the front-rear direction of the seat.
As described above, since the notch is formed at a position that avoids components such as links, it becomes easier to weld toward the notch.

At this time, the side wall portion is formed to be bent in a direction away from the bottom wall portion in the seat width direction from a portion where the first link is attached to a portion where the second link is attached, and the side wall portion is bent in a direction away from the bottom wall portion in the seat width direction. The bracket may include a reinforcing wall portion that connects the bottom wall portion and a portion of the side wall portion to which the second link is attached, and extends upward from the bottom wall portion toward the side wall portion. .
With the above configuration, even if the second link is offset inward with respect to the first link in consideration of the arrangement of the height link device, the rigidity around the second link can be increased by providing the reinforcing wall part. .
In addition, when the second link is offset as described above, if you try to laser weld the outer peripheral part where the upper rail and the connecting bracket are in contact from the inside in the seat width direction, the part of the connecting bracket that protrudes toward the second link will get in the way. This makes it difficult to properly aim the laser at the outer periphery. However, with the above configuration of the present invention, since the reinforcing wall extends upward from the bottom wall toward the side wall, it is possible to avoid a position that would interfere with laser irradiation.
To be more specific, generally when a laser is irradiated onto a target area, some of it will bounce back as reflected laser, so it is necessary to avoid placing components in the area where the reflected laser passes. With the configuration of the connecting bracket, laser welding work can be performed conveniently.

At this time, the reinforcing wall part is inclined upward from the bottom wall part toward the side wall part, and the reinforcing wall part has a part that protrudes upward and extends from a part continuous with the bottom wall part to the side wall part. It is preferable that a reinforcing convex portion extending to a continuous portion is formed.
As described above, since the reinforcing wall part is inclined upward from the bottom wall part to the side wall part, laser welding can be carried out more favorably by considering the reflection angle of the laser, for example.
Furthermore, since the reinforcing convex portion is formed, the rigidity around the second link can be further increased.

According to the invention of claim 1, compared to the conventional example, since the portion where the upper rail and the connection bracket are in contact can be directly welded, the joint strength by welding can be improved. Furthermore, since the welding marks extend along the outer periphery of the mutually abutted portions, welding strength can be further improved.
According to the second aspect of the invention, by performing laser welding from the outside or the inside in the sheet width direction, the welding work can be easily performed from a position where it is relatively easy to secure a space.
According to the third aspect of the present invention, the joint strength of the connection bracket can be further improved, and in particular, stress applied in the sheet width direction can be efficiently received.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the weldable outer peripheral portion can be extended by the notch, so that the welding strength is improved and the degree of freedom of the welding position is increased.
According to the invention of claim 5, the notch is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the bottom wall portion at a position where laser welding work can be easily performed while avoiding the position of the side wall portion.
According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the joint strength of the connection brackets is generally required to be stronger than usual by offsetting the links, but the joint strength of the connection brackets can be sufficiently ensured.

According to the invention of claim 7, the work of welding toward the notch becomes easy.
According to the invention of claim 8, even when the second link is offset with respect to the first link in consideration of the arrangement of the height link devices, the rigidity around the second link can be increased. Further, even when the second link is offset as described above, laser welding can be performed suitably.
According to the ninth aspect of the invention, the laser welding operation can be carried out more favorably by taking into account the reflection angle of the laser, for example. Furthermore, the rigidity around the second link can be further increased.

It is mainly composed of a side wall part 52 that extends upwardly from the front end of the bottom wall part 51 and a front wall part 53 that is also connected to the front end of the side wall part 52.
Note that the bottom wall portion 51 corresponds to a contact portion that contacts the upper surface (abutted portion) of the upper rail 42 in the claims.

The bottom wall portion 51 extends along the upper rail 42, and has cutouts 51a provided on the outer surface in the seat width direction at predetermined intervals and cut toward the inner side in the seat width direction. are formed.
The cutout 51a is a substantially rectangular cutout portion that extends inward in the seat width direction within a range that does not reach the center of the upper rail 42 in the seat width direction. Further, it is arranged between the first link 31 and the second link 32 in the seat front-rear direction.
The bottom wall portion 51 is joined to the upper rail 42 by laser welding the outer peripheral portion of the portion where the bottom surface and the upper surface of the upper rail 42 contact.
Specifically, by laser welding the outer peripheral portion from the outside and inside in the seat width direction, welding marks 60 are formed on both the bottom wall portion 51 and the upper surface of the upper rail 42 .

The side wall portion 52 extends in the front-rear direction along the bottom wall portion 51, and moves away from the bottom wall portion 51 in the seat width direction from the portion where the first link 31 is attached to the portion where the second link 32 is attached. It is bent in the direction.
Further, between the first link 31 and the second link 32 of the side wall portion 52, there is an upper end flange 52a extending in the seat front and rear direction, and a harness for passing the rail device 40 or a known device around the rail device 40. A harness passage hole 52b is formed.
The upper end flange 52a and the harness passage hole 52b are formed at a position facing the notch 51a in the seat front-rear direction.

A reinforcing wall portion 54 extending upward from the bottom wall portion 51 toward the side wall portion 52 is formed at a portion where the bottom wall portion 51 and the portion of the side wall portion 52 to which the second link 32 is attached are connected.
The reinforcing wall portion 54 is inclined upward from the bottom wall portion 51 toward the side wall portion 52, and specifically, at an angle of about 15 to 45 degrees, preferably about 30 degrees, with respect to the bottom wall portion. Sloping upwards.
Further, the reinforcing wall portion 54 is formed with a reinforcing convex portion 54a that is raised upward. The reinforcing convex portions 54a extend from the portion of the reinforcing wall portion 54 connected to the bottom wall portion 51 to the portion connected to the side wall portion 52, and are formed in plurality at predetermined intervals in the seat front-rear direction.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 6, the welding marks 60 are formed by laser welding a part of the outer periphery of the portion where the bottom wall portion 51 and the upper surface of the upper rail 42 abut.
The welding marks 60 include a first welded portion 61 extending along the outer surface in the sheet width direction and a second welded portion 62 extending along the inner surface in the sheet width direction in the outer peripheral portion. We are prepared.
The first welded portion 61 extends along the outer surface of the outer peripheral portion of the bottom wall portion 51 that includes the notch 51a, and more specifically, it extends discontinuously at the position of the notch 51a. .
The second welded portion 62 extends continuously along the inner surface of the outer peripheral portion of the bottom wall portion 51 .

In the above configuration, the first welded portion 61 and the second welded portion 62 are formed by laser welding from the outside and inside in the sheet width direction, respectively.
Therefore, welding work can be performed from a position where it is relatively easy to secure space.

Further, in the above configuration, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second link 32 is arranged at a different position (offset arrangement) to the inner side in the seat width direction than the first link 31.
Generally, in a seat equipped with a height link device 30, the height control lever 35 is connected to the height control lever 35 via the brake unit 34 so that the height control lever 35 does not protrude outward from the seat body in the seat width direction as much as possible. Two links 32 (driving links) are arranged offset to the inside in the seat width direction.
By arranging the links offset from each other in this way, the joint strength of the connection bracket 50 is required to be higher than usual, but with this configuration using laser welding as described above, the joint strength of the connection bracket 50 can be sufficiently ensured. can do.

Further, in the above configuration, the connecting bracket 50 is formed with a reinforcing wall portion 54 having an inclined shape as a chamfered portion corresponding to the offset arrangement of the second link 32.
Generally, when laser welding is attempted from the inside in the sheet width direction, the portion of the connection bracket 50 that protrudes toward the second link 32 gets in the way, making it difficult to perform laser irradiation appropriately. However, with the configuration of the present invention, the reinforcing wall portion 54 can avoid a portion that would get in the way of laser irradiation.
Specifically, when a laser beam is irradiated onto a target area, a portion of it becomes reflected laser and bounces back, so it is necessary to avoid placing components in the area where the reflected laser passes. With the configuration of the connection bracket 50, laser welding work can be performed suitably.

<Other embodiments>
In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the vehicle seat S is configured to include a height link device 30, but it is not necessarily necessary, and the cushion frame 10 (side frame 11) and the connection bracket 50 are provided. They may be directly connected.
Moreover, instead of the connection bracket 50, a connection part may be provided integrally with the lower end portion of the side frame 11, and the connection part and the upper rail 42 may be connected.

In the embodiment described above, the connection bracket 50 is attached to the upper rail by laser welding, but it is not limited to laser welding, and various welding methods such as arc welding and spot welding may be used. Also good.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting bracket 50 is joined to the upper rail 42 by laser welding the outer peripheral portion of the portion that contacts the upper rail 42 from both sides in the seat width direction. The direction and location of laser welding are not particularly limited and can be changed.
For example, the outer peripheral portion may be laser welded only from the outside in the sheet width direction, or may be laser welded only from the front side of the sheet.
If the outer peripheral portion is laser welded only from the outside in the sheet width direction, only the first welded portion 61 will be formed as the welding mark 60.
At this time, the welding location of the first welding part 61 is also arbitrary, and for example, when the notch 51a is not formed, the first welding part 61 continuously extends along the outer surface of the outer peripheral part. They may be continuous, or they may extend discontinuously at intervals. For example, even when the notch 51a is formed, the first welded portion 61 may extend continuously along the outer surface including the entire circumference of the notch 51a.

In the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, welding marks 60 are formed on both the connecting bracket 50 and the upper rail 42 by laser welding the outer peripheral portion of the portion where the connecting bracket 50 and the upper rail 42 abut. However, the welding marks 60 do not necessarily have to be formed on both sides.
Generally, the connecting bracket 50 is thicker than the upper rail 42, so by laser welding the parts where they abut against each other at a position slightly closer to the connecting bracket 50, the upper rail 42 can be made less susceptible to heat. can. At this time, large welding marks 60 are formed on the connection bracket 50.

In the above embodiment, a vehicle seat used in a car was described as a specific example, but the invention is not limited to this, and can also be used as a seat for vehicles such as trains and buses, as well as seats for vehicles such as airplanes and ships. can do.

In this embodiment, the vehicle seat according to the present invention has been mainly described.
However, the embodiments described above are merely examples for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes equivalents thereof.
