Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer seat device capable of adjusting a seat position by a simple operation, and more specifically, it is used as a chair for furniture, ROM, RAM or the like. The present invention relates to a computer seat apparatus including a microcomputer having a memory of 1., and a drive means for seat position adjustment controlled by the microcomputer. (Prior Art) In recent years, a computer seat device has been proposed in which the seat position is adjusted by the power of a computer. This device stores various seat position data in a memory after power-on, and then The seat position data that gives the necessary position is read using the playback key, and the seat position is adjusted to the selected position. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the computer seat devices proposed so far, the seat position data is not input immediately after the power is turned on, so that the seat position
Until the data storage operation was performed, the position could not be changed using the playback key, and operability was poor. Further, it is not possible to easily make subtle changes and adjustments to the seat position data, and the operability in this respect was not always good. The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to realize a computer seat apparatus having a simple configuration and good operability. (Means for Solving Problems) FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing the principle of the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 is an operation panel, in which a manual key 11 for manually instructing adjustment of the position of each portion of the seat (seat back, seat cushion, etc.), and a memory key for instructing storage of seat position data in a memory 1
2. It has a reproduction key 13 for instructing the reading of the seat position data stored in the memory. 2 is a first memory (ROM) for storing seat position data prepared in advance, 3 is a random access memory (RAM),
4 is a data transfer means for transferring the seat position data stored in the first memory to the RAM 3 when the power is turned on,
Reference numeral 5 is a manual operation means for actuating the drive means 6 at the seat portion in response to a signal from the manual key 11, and 7 is a memory key.
Receive the signal from 12 and get the current seat position data
The data storage means 8 to be stored in the RAM 3 is a reproduction operation means for receiving a signal from the reproduction key 13 and moving the seat portion via the drive means 6 based on the seat position data stored in the RAM 3. (Function) When the power is turned on, the RAM3 is transferred by the data transfer means.
The sheet position data stored in advance in the first memory is transferred to and the sheet portion is adjusted based on the sheet position data in the RAM 3 by operating the reproduction key 13. The seat portion is adjusted by operating the manual key 11, and the adjusted and changed seat position data is stored in the RAM 3 by operating the memory key 12. (Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a configuration block diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same parts as those in FIG. 1 are designated by the same reference numerals. In the figure, ST is a seat used in, for example, a massage machine, and M1, M2, and M3 are each part of the seat ST, that is, a seat head (headrest part), a backrest part (reclining part), and a foot part (ottoman part) are moved. The motors DR1, DR2, DR3 are drivers for the respective motors, and these constitute the driving means 6 in FIG. PM1, PM2, PM
Reference numeral 3 is a position detecting means for obtaining position data of each part, and for example, a potentiometer is used. AD1, AD2, AD3 are position detection means PM1, PM
2, A / D converter that converts the signals from PM3 to digital signals, MC is a microcomputer, operation panel 1, first
Memory 2, RAM3, drivers DR1 to DR3, A / D converter AD1
~ Each is bound to AD3. This microcomputer MC functions as the data transfer means 4, the minor operation means 5, the data storage means 7 and the reproduction operation means 8 in FIG. FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of the operation panel 1. A manual key 11 is arranged at each corresponding position in the diagram showing the side surface of the seat, and when the manual key 11 is pressed, the corresponding position is
It can be moved in the direction of the arrow. Three reproduction keys 13 are provided here, and three types of seat position data of ,,, can be selected and used. Here, the memory key 12 presses a predetermined one of the memory key 12 and the reproduction key 13 at the same time to instruct to store the sheet position data of the number designated by the reproduction key 13. 15 is a stop key for stopping the reproduction operation. The operation of the apparatus thus configured will be described below with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flow chart showing an example of the operation performed by the microcomputer MC. When the operation power is turned on, first the initialization (initial setting) is performed, and then the first memory (ROM)
RA the seat position data stored in advance in 2
Transfer to M3 (steps 1 and 2). Here, when the switch on the operation panel 1 is operated, it is determined whether any one of the manual key 11, the memory key 12, and the reproduction key 13 is operated (step 3 to step 6). Then, if the manual key 11 is operated, the routine proceeds to step 41, where the manual operating means 5 follows the operation of the manual key 11 to drive the drivers DR1 to DR3 and the motors M1 to.
The position of the corresponding portion of the sheet is moved by the driving means 6 composed of 3. When both the memory key 12 and the reproduction key 13 are operated, the process proceeds to step 51, and the data storage means 7 applies the respective position detection means PM applied via the A / D converters AD1 to AD3.
The current seat position data from 1 to PM3 are read and stored in the corresponding areas of RAM3. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram of seat position data stored in the first memory (ROM) 2 and seat position data stored in the RAM 3. Here, N sets of DA1 to DAN are used as the seat position data (in this embodiment, N sets).
= 3) is stored in the first memory 2 and the RAM3. Arrow A shows the flow of seat position data when the power is turned on, and arrow B shows the flow of seat position data when the memory key 12 is operated. By operating the memory key 12 and the play key 13, the seat position data in the predetermined area of RAM 3 is
It is replaced with the current seat position data. When only the reproduction key 13 is operated, the process proceeds to step 61, where the reproduction operation means 8 reads the sheet position data DAi of the number (group) designated by the reproduction key 13 from the RAM 3, and the drivers DR1 to DR1 ... 3, motor M1-3
The seat position is read according to the seat position data DAi read out. Since the data stored in the first memory (ROM) 2 is not erased even when the power is turned off, the correct seat position data is transferred to the RAM 3 when the power is turned on. Therefore, the predetermined seat position can be selected by operating the reproduction key immediately after the power is turned on. As described above, according to the above configuration, the seat position prepared in advance can be adjusted by using the playback key 13, the delicate adjustment can be made by operating the manual key 11, and the seat position data after the change can be newly updated. The seat position data can be stored as new seat position data, and the seat position can be easily adjusted based on this new data. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, the seat can be adjusted at each of three positions by the driving means. However, if a large number of driving means are provided, the seat position can be finely adjusted. . (Effects of the Invention) As described in detail above, according to the present invention, a predetermined seat position can be selected even if the playback key is operated immediately after the power is turned on. A seat device can be realized.
