Description

本発明は、車両用シートなどの乗物用シートに関し、特に、後面衝突時の頸部へ加わる衝撃の低減を図った乗物用シートに関する。   The present invention relates to a vehicle seat such as a vehicle seat, and more particularly to a vehicle seat that reduces the impact applied to the neck during a rear-end collision.

自動車が後部から追突されたり、後退走行時に追突したりするなど、自動車の後面で衝突するいわゆる後面衝突の際には着座している乗員の頭部は慣性によって後傾し、頸部が衝撃を受ける虞がある。   In the case of a so-called rear collision, such as when a car is collided from the rear or a rear-end collision, the head of the seated occupant tilts backward due to inertia and the neck is impacted. There is a risk of receiving it.

そのため、車両用シートなどの乗物用シートには、後面衝突による衝撃から乗員の頭部や頸部を保護し頸部への衝撃を軽減するために、シートバック上方に乗員の頭部を後方から受けるヘッドレストを設けている。そして、後面衝突時の衝撃を効果的に軽減するためには、後面衝突時に乗員の頭部とヘッドレストとの間の隙間を速やかに減少させるのが望ましい。   For this reason, on vehicle seats such as vehicle seats, in order to protect the occupant's head and neck from impact caused by a rear impact and reduce the impact on the neck, A headrest is provided. In order to effectively reduce the impact at the time of the rear collision, it is desirable to quickly reduce the gap between the occupant's head and the headrest at the time of the rear collision.

このため、後面衝突時に乗員の上体を後方へ移動させ、この移動による荷重を受圧部材(可動プレート)によって受けてヘッドレストを前方に動かし、乗員の頭部を支持して頸部への衝撃を軽減するように構成したシートバックが提案されている(特許文献1)。   For this reason, the upper body of the occupant is moved rearward at the time of a rear collision, the load due to this movement is received by the pressure receiving member (movable plate), the headrest is moved forward, the head of the occupant is supported, and the neck is impacted. There has been proposed a seat back configured to reduce (Patent Document 1).

後面衝突時に乗員の頭部とヘッドレストとの間の隙間を速やかに減少させるには、特許文献1のようにヘッドレストを前方に動かすことによる方法もあるが、乗員の上体をシートバックに深く入り込ませることで、乗員の頭部がヘッドレストに近づき、結果として隙間を減少させることでも実現できると考えられる。   To quickly reduce the gap between the occupant's head and the headrest at the time of a rear collision, there is a method by moving the headrest forward as in Patent Document 1, but the upper part of the occupant is deeply inserted into the seat back. It can be realized that the occupant's head approaches the headrest and the gap is reduced as a result.

特開2003−341402号公報JP 2003-341402 A

ところで、前記した特許文献1のようにヘッドレストが動作する構成および動作しない構成のいずれにおいても、後面衝突時に乗員の上体により所定以上の荷重でシートバック内の受圧部材を後方に押して、シートバック内に乗員の上体が入り込むときには、できるだけ深くシートバック内に乗員が入り込むのが望ましい。   By the way, in both the configuration in which the headrest operates and the configuration in which the headrest does not operate as in the above-described Patent Document 1, the pressure-receiving member in the seat back is pushed rearward with a predetermined load or more by the upper body of the occupant at the time of a rear collision. When the occupant's upper body enters, it is desirable that the occupant enter the seat back as deeply as possible.

しかし、従来の乗物用シートにおいては、シートバック内に設けられるシートバッククッションが変形しにくいため、後面衝突時に乗員の上体からシートバックに掛かる荷重が受圧部材に伝わるのに、シートバッククッションが抵抗となるという問題があった。   However, in the conventional vehicle seat, since the seat back cushion provided in the seat back is difficult to deform, the load applied to the seat back from the occupant's upper body at the time of a rear collision is transmitted to the pressure receiving member. There was a problem of resistance.

本発明は、以上のような背景に鑑みてなされたものであり、後面衝突時に乗員の上体からシートバックに掛かる荷重を、受圧部材に効率よく伝えることができる乗物用シートを提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of the background as described above, and provides a vehicle seat that can efficiently transmit a load applied to a seat back from an occupant's upper body to a pressure receiving member at the time of a rear collision. Objective.

前記した課題を解決する本発明の乗物用シートは、左右に離間して配置され上下方向に延在するサイドフレームと、前記サイドフレーム間に配置された受圧部材と、前記受圧部材と前記サイドフレームとを連結する連結部材と、少なくとも前記受圧部材の前方に設けられたシートバッククッションとを備え、当該シートバッククッションに乗員から所定以上の後方への荷重が掛かると前記受圧部材が後方へ移動するように構成された乗物用シートであって、前記シートバッククッションは、前記乗員の上体部を支持する中央部と、前記中央部の左右方向両側に前記中央部と連続して設けられた側部とを有し、前記中央部と前記各側部との境界に対応する部位に沿って、前面および後面の両面に、連続的または断続的な凹みからなる前面凹部および後面凹部が形成され、前記後面凹部は、前記前面凹部の左右方向内側に配置されたことを特徴とする。   The vehicle seat of the present invention that solves the above-described problems includes a side frame that is spaced apart from the left and right and extends in the vertical direction, a pressure receiving member that is disposed between the side frames, the pressure receiving member, and the side frame. And a seat back cushion provided at least in front of the pressure receiving member, and the pressure receiving member moves rearward when a predetermined or greater load is applied to the seat back cushion from the occupant. A seat for a vehicle configured as described above, wherein the seat back cushion includes a central portion that supports an upper body portion of the occupant, and a side that is provided continuously to the central portion on both lateral sides of the central portion. A front concave portion formed of continuous or intermittent dents on both the front surface and the rear surface along a portion corresponding to the boundary between the central portion and each side portion. Beauty rear recess is formed, the rear recess, characterized in that arranged in the lateral direction inside the front recess.

このような構成によれば、シートバッククッションは、中央部と各側部との境界に対応する部位に沿って、前面と後面にそれぞれ連続的または断続的な凹みからなる前面凹部および後面凹部が配置される。そして、後面凹部が前面凹部よりも左右方向内側に配置されることで、中央部と各側部とを接続する接続部(前面凹部から後面凹部にかけての部分)は、水平断面で見ると、左右方向外側から内側へ延び、さらに前方へ延びる形状となる。そのため、後面衝突時には、この接続部が変形することで中央部が相対的に後方へ移動しやすい。すなわち、シートバッククッションが抵抗となりにくく、乗員の上体からシートバックにかかる荷重を受圧部材に効率よく伝えることができる。   According to such a configuration, the seat back cushion has a front recess and a rear recess each including a continuous or intermittent recess on the front surface and the rear surface, along a portion corresponding to the boundary between the center portion and each side portion. Be placed. The rear concave portion is arranged on the inner side in the left-right direction with respect to the front concave portion, so that the connecting portion (the portion from the front concave portion to the rear concave portion) that connects the central portion and each side portion is left and right when viewed in a horizontal section. The shape extends from the outside in the direction to the inside and further forwards. Therefore, at the time of a rear collision, the connecting portion is deformed, so that the central portion is relatively easily moved backward. That is, the seat back cushion is less likely to become a resistance, and the load applied from the upper body of the occupant to the seat back can be efficiently transmitted to the pressure receiving member.

前記した乗物用シートにおいては、前記後面凹部の底部は、前記前面凹部の底部より前方に位置することが望ましい。このように、後面凹部の底部が前面凹部の底部より前方に位置すると、後面凹部と前面凹部との間の接続部がより前後方向に延びるので、シートバッククッションの中央部に後方への荷重が掛かったときに、接続部の向き(形状)が大きく変わることができ、中央部が側部に対して後方により移動し易くなる。   In the vehicle seat described above, it is desirable that the bottom portion of the rear surface recess is located in front of the bottom portion of the front surface recess. In this way, when the bottom of the rear recess is positioned in front of the bottom of the front recess, the connecting portion between the rear recess and the front recess extends in the front-rear direction, so that a load on the rear of the seat back cushion is applied to the center. When hooked, the direction (shape) of the connecting portion can be greatly changed, and the center portion can easily move rearward with respect to the side portion.

前記した乗物用シートにおいては、前記シートバッククッションを覆う表皮部材をさらに備え、前記表皮部材は、前記前面凹部に入れ込まれた入れ込み部を有し、当該入れ込み部は、前記前面凹部の底部に結合され、前記後面凹部の底部は、前記入れ込み部の先端よりも前方に位置するのが望ましい。   The vehicle seat described above further includes a skin member that covers the seat back cushion, the skin member having an insertion portion that is inserted into the front recess, and the insertion portion is provided at a bottom portion of the front recess. It is desirable that the bottom portion of the rear concave portion is coupled to the front of the leading end of the insertion portion.

このように、後面凹部が、表皮部材の入れ込み部の先端より前方に位置する程度に深く形成されることで、接続部は、前後方向にさらに長く延びて存在するので、中央部が側部に対してより後方に移動しやすくなる。   In this way, since the rear concave portion is formed deep enough to be positioned in front of the front end of the skin member insertion portion, the connecting portion extends longer in the front-rear direction, so the central portion is on the side portion. On the other hand, it becomes easier to move backward.

前記した乗物用シートにおいては、前記シートバッククッションは、後面に裏地が設けられ、前記裏地は、前記中央部と前記各側部との境界に対応する部位に切れ目が設けられた構成とすることができる。   In the vehicle seat described above, the seat back cushion is provided with a lining on the rear surface, and the lining is provided with a cut at a portion corresponding to a boundary between the central portion and the side portions. Can do.

このような構成によれば、裏地によりシートバッククッションの補強などをした場合であっても、中央部と各側部を繋ぐ接続部でのシートバッククッションの変形を妨げないので、中央部が側部に対して後方に移動し易い。   According to such a configuration, even when the seat back cushion is reinforced by the lining, the deformation of the seat back cushion at the connecting portion that connects the central portion and each side portion is not hindered. It is easy to move backward with respect to the part.

前記した乗物用シートにおいては、前記連結部材は、前記サイドフレームに回動可能に支持され、前記受圧部材が連結された回動部材と、回動部材を付勢する付勢部材とを有し、前記サイドフレームは、前記回動部材の回動範囲を規制するストッパを左右方向内側に突出して有し、前記サイドフレームは、前記ストッパと前記回動部材の間に前記シートバッククッションが入り込むのを防止するために、前記ストッパに対応して少なくとも一部が左右方向内側に延びた構成とすることができる。   In the above vehicle seat, the connecting member is rotatably supported by the side frame, and includes a rotating member to which the pressure receiving member is connected, and a biasing member that biases the rotating member. The side frame has a stopper projecting inward in the left-right direction that restricts the rotation range of the rotating member, and the side frame has the seat back cushion inserted between the stopper and the rotating member. In order to prevent this, at least a part may extend inward in the left-right direction corresponding to the stopper.

このような構成によれば、後面衝突時にシートバッククッションが相対的に後方に移動したときに、サイドフレームの左右方向内側に延びた部分によって、シートバッククッションの一部がストッパと回動部材の間に入り込むことが抑制される。そのため、回動部材の作動を確実にして、中央部を側部に対して十分に後方に移動させることができる。   According to such a configuration, when the seat back cushion moves relatively rearward at the time of a rear collision, a part of the seat back cushion is formed between the stopper and the rotating member by the portion extending inward in the left-right direction of the side frame. Intrusion is suppressed. Therefore, the operation of the rotating member can be ensured, and the central part can be moved sufficiently backward with respect to the side part.

請求項1に記載の構成によれば、シートバッククッションが中央部と各側部との接続部で変形し易いため、シートバッククッションが抵抗となりにくく、乗員の上体からシートバックにかかる荷重を受圧部材に効率よく伝えることができる。   According to the configuration of the first aspect, since the seat back cushion is easily deformed at the connection portion between the central portion and each side portion, the seat back cushion is less likely to become a resistance, and a load applied from the upper body of the occupant to the seat back is reduced. It can be efficiently transmitted to the pressure receiving member.

請求項2に記載の構成によれば、中央部と各側部との接続部が前後方向に延びるので、シートバッククッションの中央部に後方への荷重が掛かったときに、接続部の向き(形状)が大きく変わることができ、中央部が側部に対して後方により移動し易くなる。   According to the configuration of the second aspect, since the connecting portion between the central portion and each side portion extends in the front-rear direction, when a load is applied to the central portion of the seat back cushion, the direction of the connecting portion ( (Shape) can be greatly changed, and the central part can be easily moved rearward with respect to the side part.

請求項3に記載の構成によれば、中央部と各側部との接続部は、前後方向にさらに長く延びて存在するので、中央部が側部に対してより後方に移動しやすくなる。   According to the structure of Claim 3, since the connection part of a center part and each side part is extended further in the front-back direction, a center part becomes easier to move back with respect to a side part.

請求項4に記載の構成によれば、裏地によりシートバッククッションの補強などをした場合であっても、接続部でのシートバッククッションの変形を妨げないので、中央部が側部に対して後方に移動し易い。   According to the configuration of the fourth aspect, even when the seat back cushion is reinforced by the lining, the deformation of the seat back cushion at the connection portion is not hindered, so that the central portion is rearward with respect to the side portion. Easy to move to.

請求項5に記載の構成によれば、回動部材の作動を確実にして、中央部を側部に対して十分に後方に移動させることができる。   According to the structure of Claim 5, the action | operation of a rotation member is ensured and a center part can be fully moved back with respect to a side part.

And an upper wire 47 (see FIG. 2). The connecting member 4 is provided symmetrically on the left and right sides of the pressure receiving member 20.

下部ワイヤ46および上部ワイヤ47は、受圧部材20に形成された図示しない爪部にそれぞれ係止されている。上部ワイヤ47は、サイドフレーム10に設けられた係止孔49(図2参照)に係合されている。   The lower wire 46 and the upper wire 47 are respectively engaged with claw portions (not shown) formed on the pressure receiving member 20. The upper wire 47 is engaged with a locking hole 49 (see FIG. 2) provided in the side frame 10.

図4に示すように、回動部材40は板金をプレス加工してなり、上下に延びる本体部41と、本体部41の後端部を内側にL字状に折り曲げてなる後縁部42とを有している。このように後端部側を折り曲げることで、前方の空間、つまり、乗員がシートバックS1内に入り込む空間を残しつつ適度な剛性を確保している。本体部41の中央のやや上よりには軸孔43が形成されている。そして、軸孔43から下方に離れた本体部41の下端部には係止孔44が形成され、係止孔44には下部ワイヤ46が係合されている。軸孔43には、ボルト61の軸部61Aが挿通され回動部材40が軸支される。詳しくは、ボルト61は、サイドフレーム10の外側から支持孔14に挿通されサイドフレーム10に接着または溶接により取り付けられている。そして、サイドフレーム10の内側に突出した軸部61Aに回動部材40の軸孔43が挿通され、回動部材40が軸部61A周りに回動可能な状態でナット65が締め付けられる。   As shown in FIG. 4, the rotating member 40 is formed by pressing a sheet metal, and a main body portion 41 extending vertically, and a rear edge portion 42 formed by bending the rear end portion of the main body portion 41 inward in an L shape. have. By bending the rear end side in this way, moderate rigidity is ensured while leaving a front space, that is, a space for the occupant to enter the seat back S1. A shaft hole 43 is formed slightly above the center of the main body 41. A locking hole 44 is formed at the lower end of the main body 41 that is spaced downward from the shaft hole 43, and a lower wire 46 is engaged with the locking hole 44. The shaft portion 61A of the bolt 61 is inserted into the shaft hole 43, and the rotating member 40 is pivotally supported. Specifically, the bolt 61 is inserted into the support hole 14 from the outside of the side frame 10 and attached to the side frame 10 by adhesion or welding. Then, the shaft hole 43 of the rotating member 40 is inserted into the shaft portion 61A protruding inside the side frame 10, and the nut 65 is tightened in a state where the rotating member 40 can rotate around the shaft portion 61A.

回動部材40の係止孔44のやや上にはコイルバネ48の下端が係止されるバネ係止部45が突出して設けられている。コイルバネ48は、前記したサイドフレーム10のバネ係止部16に上端が係止され、引っ張られた状態で下端がコイルバネ48のバネ係止部45に係止される。回動部材40のバネ係止部45は、側面視においてサイドフレーム10のバネ係止部16と支持孔14を結んだ線よりも前方に位置しているので、回動部材40は、常時、コイルバネ48によって図4における時計回りに回転力が与えられている。   A spring locking portion 45 that locks the lower end of the coil spring 48 is provided slightly above the locking hole 44 of the rotating member 40. The upper end of the coil spring 48 is locked to the spring locking portion 16 of the side frame 10 described above, and the lower end is locked to the spring locking portion 45 of the coil spring 48 in the pulled state. Since the spring locking portion 45 of the rotating member 40 is located in front of the line connecting the spring locking portion 16 of the side frame 10 and the support hole 14 in a side view, the rotating member 40 is always A rotational force is applied clockwise by the coil spring 48 in FIG.

前記したストッパ17,18は、回動部材40の軸孔43よりも下方においてそれぞれ回動部材40の前後に位置しており、回動部材40の前後への移動を所定位置までに規制している。   The stoppers 17 and 18 described above are positioned in front of and behind the rotating member 40 below the shaft hole 43 of the rotating member 40, respectively, and restrict the movement of the rotating member 40 back and forth to a predetermined position. Yes.

このようにして、通常時において、回動部材40は下部が前方へ回転するように付勢され、ストッパ17によりその位置が規制されている。受圧部材20は、回動部材40の係止孔44を介して、コイルバネ48の付勢力により前方に付勢されており、この付勢力により乗員の上体がシートバックS1にもたれかかる力を受け止めている。コイルバネ48は、通常の運転環境において受圧部材20を介して引っ張られる力よりも初期の引っ張り荷重が大きく設定されている。そして、後面衝突時に掛かる引っ張り荷重よりは小さな初期荷重とされていることで、後述するように、乗員の上体の体重を受圧部材20が受けて、この受けた力が下部ワイヤ46を介して回動部材40を後方(図4における半時計回り)に回動させるようになっている。   In this way, in the normal state, the rotating member 40 is urged so that the lower part rotates forward, and the position thereof is regulated by the stopper 17. The pressure receiving member 20 is urged forward by the urging force of the coil spring 48 through the locking hole 44 of the rotating member 40. The urging force causes the upper body of the occupant to lean against the seat back S1. ing. The initial tension load of the coil spring 48 is set larger than the force pulled through the pressure receiving member 20 in a normal operating environment. Since the initial load is smaller than the tensile load applied at the time of the rear collision, the pressure receiving member 20 receives the weight of the upper body of the occupant and the received force is transmitted via the lower wire 46 as will be described later. The rotating member 40 is rotated backward (counterclockwise in FIG. 4).

図5に示すように、シートバックフレーム1の外側には、受圧部材20およびサイドフレーム10の前方およびサイドフレーム10の側方および後方を覆うシートバッククッション50が設けられている。シートバッククッション50の外側には、布地や皮革からなる表皮部材70が設けられている。   As shown in FIG. 5, a seatback cushion 50 is provided outside the seatback frame 1 to cover the front side of the pressure receiving member 20 and the side frame 10 and the side and rear of the side frame 10. A skin member 70 made of fabric or leather is provided on the outside of the seat back cushion 50.

シートバッククッション50は、乗員の上体部を支持する中央部51と、中央部51の左右方向両側(図7も参照)に中央部51と連続して設けられた側部52とを有している。側部52は、通常、中央部51よりやや前方に張り出して、乗員の体側を支持するように構成されることが多いが、このような形態に限らず、中央部51とほぼ同一面に形成されることもある。この場合、乗員が着座すべき位置を、表皮の縫い目やデザインなどにより示して、乗員が受圧部材20の前方に上体を合わせて着座できるようにしておくとよい。   The seat back cushion 50 has a central part 51 that supports the upper body part of the occupant, and side parts 52 that are provided continuously to the central part 51 on both sides in the left-right direction of the central part 51 (see also FIG. 7). ing. In many cases, the side portion 52 protrudes slightly forward from the central portion 51 to support the occupant's body side. However, the side portion 52 is not limited to such a configuration, and is formed on substantially the same plane as the central portion 51. Sometimes it is done. In this case, the position where the occupant should be seated may be indicated by the stitches or design of the skin, so that the occupant can sit with the upper body in front of the pressure receiving member 20.

シートバッククッション50の前面には、中央部51と、左右両方の側部52との境界に沿って、前面凹部の一例として、上下方向に連続的に設けられた凹みからなる前面溝53が形成されている。シートバッククッション50の後面には、中央部51と、左右両方の側部52との境界に沿って、上下に連続して延びる後面凹部の一例としての後面溝54が形成されている。後面溝54は、前面溝53の左右方向内側に配置されている。このため、中央部51と側部52の接続部59(濃いハッチングで示した部分)は、図5に示した接続部中心線L1のように、側部52から左右方向内側に延びた後、前方に向けて延びている。そして、後面溝54があることにより、シートバッククッション50は、後面溝54の底部54Aとシートバッククッション50の前面との間の厚みが薄くなっている。これにより、接続部59が変形しやすく、中央部51が側部52に対し後方へ移動するのが容易となっている。   The front surface of the seat back cushion 50 is formed with a front groove 53 formed of a recess continuously provided in the vertical direction as an example of a front concave portion along the boundary between the central portion 51 and the left and right side portions 52. Has been. A rear surface groove 54 is formed on the rear surface of the seat back cushion 50 as an example of a rear surface concave portion extending continuously up and down along the boundary between the central portion 51 and the left and right side portions 52. The rear groove 54 is disposed inside the front groove 53 in the left-right direction. For this reason, after the connection part 59 (part shown by dark hatching) of the center part 51 and the side part 52 extends inward in the left-right direction from the side part 52 as shown in the connection part center line L1 shown in FIG. Extends forward. Further, due to the presence of the rear groove 54, the seat back cushion 50 has a small thickness between the bottom 54 </ b> A of the rear groove 54 and the front surface of the seat back cushion 50. Thereby, the connection part 59 is easy to deform | transform and it becomes easy for the center part 51 to move back with respect to the side part 52. FIG.

後面溝54は、その底部54Aが前面溝53の底部53Aよりも前方に位置している。このため、接続部59は図5の接続部中心線L1に示すように、特に、内側部分で前方に向けて延びる形状、つまり前方に向けて長い形状となり、中央部51が側部52に対して後方に移動しやすくなっている。   The rear groove 54 has a bottom 54 </ b> A located in front of the bottom 53 </ b> A of the front groove 53. For this reason, the connection portion 59 has a shape extending forward in the inner portion, that is, a shape elongated toward the front, as shown by the connection portion center line L1 in FIG. Makes it easier to move backwards.

前面溝53の底部53Aには、後述する表皮部材70を留める係止リング56が複数上下に並んで(1つのみ図示)に設けられている。   On the bottom 53A of the front groove 53, a plurality of locking rings 56 that fasten a skin member 70 to be described later are provided side by side (only one is shown).

表皮部材70は、シートバッククッション50の中央部51の前面を覆う中央表皮部71と、側部52を覆うショルダー表皮部72と、シートバックS1の後面を覆う裏側表皮部73を有している。中央表皮部71とショルダー表皮部72との接続部分は、前面溝53に入れ込まれる入れ込み部74となっており、入れ込み部74は、縫合部78により縫合されて広がるのが防止されている。そして、入れ込み部74の先端74A(図5の後端)には、フック75が設けられている。フック75は、係止リング56に対応して設けられ、それぞれが係止リング56に係合している。   The skin member 70 has a central skin portion 71 that covers the front surface of the central portion 51 of the seat back cushion 50, a shoulder skin portion 72 that covers the side portion 52, and a back side skin portion 73 that covers the rear surface of the seat back S1. . A connecting portion between the central skin portion 71 and the shoulder skin portion 72 serves as an insertion portion 74 that is inserted into the front groove 53, and the insertion portion 74 is prevented from being spread by being sewn by the stitching portion 78. A hook 75 is provided at the tip 74A of the insertion portion 74 (the rear end in FIG. 5). The hooks 75 are provided corresponding to the locking rings 56, and each hook is engaged with the locking ring 56.

後面溝54の深さは深いほど接続部59の変形による中央部51の後方への移動を容易にするので、後面溝54の底部54Aの位置は、図5に仮想線L2で示した後面溝の形状のように、入れ込み部74の先端74Aよりも前方に位置しているのが望ましい。   The deeper the rear groove 54, the easier it is to move the central portion 51 rearward due to the deformation of the connecting portion 59. Therefore, the position of the bottom 54A of the rear groove 54 is the rear groove indicated by the phantom line L2 in FIG. It is desirable that it is located ahead of the tip 74A of the insertion portion 74 as in the shape of.

シートバッククッション50の後面には、シートバッククッション50を補強するための裏地55が設けられている。この裏地55は、織布や、不織布、プラスチックシートなどが用いられる。裏地55は、接続部59の後面に対応する部位(境界に対応する部位)に上下に連続的に切れ目55Aが形成されている。この切れ目55Aは、図5のように、中央部51に対応する裏地55Bと側部52に対応する裏地55Cとが左右方向に所定距離離れるように、いわばスリットのように形成されていてもよいし、図示はしないが、裏地55をカッターなどで切り込んで裏地55Bと裏地55Cとが左右方向にほとんど離れないように形成されていてもよい。このような切れ目55Aにより、裏地55によりシートバッククッション50が補強される場合であっても、接続部59の変形が容易となる。   A lining 55 for reinforcing the seat back cushion 50 is provided on the rear surface of the seat back cushion 50. The lining 55 is made of woven fabric, non-woven fabric, plastic sheet or the like. In the lining 55, a cut 55 </ b> A is continuously formed in a vertical direction at a portion corresponding to the rear surface of the connecting portion 59 (a portion corresponding to the boundary). As shown in FIG. 5, the cut 55 </ b> A may be formed like a slit so that the lining 55 </ b> B corresponding to the central portion 51 and the lining 55 </ b> C corresponding to the side portion 52 are separated by a predetermined distance in the left-right direction. Although not shown, the lining 55 may be cut with a cutter or the like so that the lining 55B and the lining 55C are hardly separated in the left-right direction. Even if the seat back cushion 50 is reinforced by the lining 55, the connection portion 59 can be easily deformed by such a cut 55A.

以上のように構成された本実施形態に係るシートバックフレーム1の作用について説明する。
図6(a)に示すように、通常時において、回動部材40は、バネ係止部45においてコイルバネ48に引き上げられて下部が前方に付勢され、ストッパ17に当接することで位置決めされている。このとき、乗員Pの上体がシートバックS1(図示省略)に寄りかかる力は、クッション(図示省略)を介して受圧部材20に掛かるが、コイルバネ48の初期加重は、通常の運転環境において受圧部材20を介して引かれる荷重よりも大きく設定されているため、受圧部材20は動作することなく乗員Pの上体から掛かる荷重を受け止めることができる。
The operation of the seat back frame 1 according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described.
As shown in FIG. 6A, in a normal state, the rotating member 40 is pulled up by the coil spring 48 at the spring locking portion 45 and the lower portion is urged forward, and is positioned by contacting the stopper 17. Yes. At this time, the force that the upper body of the passenger P leans against the seat back S1 (not shown) is applied to the pressure receiving member 20 via a cushion (not shown), but the initial load of the coil spring 48 is the pressure receiving member in a normal driving environment. Since it is set larger than the load pulled through 20, the pressure receiving member 20 can receive the load applied from the upper body of the occupant P without operating.

そして、後面衝突時には、図6(b)に示すように、乗員Pの上体は、シートバックS1に対し後方に移動して、シートバックS1に押し付けられて弓なりに曲がり、受圧部材20に荷重F1が掛かる。受圧部材20は、下部ワイヤ46を介して回動部材40の下部に対し後方へ回動させる力を掛ける。この力がコイルバネ48により回動部材40を前方へ付勢する荷重を超えると、回動部材40は後方へ回動して、図6(b)に位置する向きになる。これにより、乗員Pの上体はシートバックS1内に深く入り込んで、入り込まない場合に比較すると相対的に頭がヘッドレストS3に近づいて、頸部への衝撃が緩和される。なお、本明細書において、乗員をシートバック内に深く入り込ませるとは、乗員の体でシートバッククッション50を押して、シートバッククッション50があった位置に乗員の体を移動させることを意味する。   When the rear collision occurs, as shown in FIG. 6B, the upper body of the occupant P moves rearward with respect to the seat back S1, is pressed against the seat back S1, bends in a bow, and is loaded on the pressure receiving member 20. F1 is applied. The pressure receiving member 20 applies a force to rotate backward with respect to the lower portion of the rotating member 40 via the lower wire 46. When this force exceeds the load that urges the rotating member 40 forward by the coil spring 48, the rotating member 40 rotates rearward and is in the direction as shown in FIG. As a result, the upper body of the occupant P enters the seat back S1 deeply, and the head approaches the headrest S3 relatively as compared with the case where it does not enter, and the impact on the neck is alleviated. In the present specification, to make the occupant enter the seat back deeply means that the occupant's body pushes the seat back cushion 50 and moves the occupant's body to the position where the seat back cushion 50 was.

コイルバネ48は、回動部材40の後方への回動により延びて引っ張り荷重は高くなるが、バネ係止部45の後方への移動量に対する下方(コイルバネ48が延びる方向)への移動量の割合は徐々に小さくなるので、回動部材40は、後面衝突時に乗員Pの荷重がコイルバネ48の初期荷重による支持力を一度超えれば、途中で止まることなく図6(b)の向きまで一気に回動する。すなわち、コイルバネ48による回動部材40の回動力は、回動部材40の回動範囲内において、初期位置が最大となるように回動部材40の初期位置および作動後の位置の姿勢や、コイルバネ48の係止位置が設定されている。   The coil spring 48 is extended by the rearward rotation of the rotating member 40 and the tensile load becomes higher, but the ratio of the downward movement amount (direction in which the coil spring 48 extends) to the rearward movement amount of the spring locking portion 45. Therefore, once the load of the occupant P exceeds the supporting force due to the initial load of the coil spring 48 at the time of a rear collision, the rotating member 40 does not stop halfway and rotates at a stretch to the direction of FIG. To do. That is, the rotational force of the rotating member 40 by the coil spring 48 is such that the initial position of the rotating member 40 and the post-operation position of the rotating member 40 are maximized within the rotation range of the rotating member 40, and the coil spring. 48 locking positions are set.

この後面衝突時のシートバッククッション50の変形について図7を参照して説明する。図7(a)のように、通常時は、接続部中心線L1の内側端部はほぼ前方へ向いている。後面衝突が発生すると、図7(b)のように、乗員Pの荷重F1により中央部51が側部52に対し相対的に後方へ押され、接続部59が後方へ変形して接続部中心線L1の内側端部は、図7(a)よりも側方(内側)へ向く。このように、接続部59が、アームのように向きを変えながら変形することで、中央部51が側部52に対し後方に大きく移動しやすい。つまり、後面衝突時に乗員Pが後方へ動くのに際し、シートバッククッション50が抵抗となりにくく、乗員Pの上体からシートバックS1(シートバッククッション50の中央部51)に掛かる荷重を効率よく受圧部材20に伝えることができる。   The deformation of the seat back cushion 50 at the time of the rear collision will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 7A, at the normal time, the inner end portion of the connection portion center line L1 is substantially directed forward. When a rear collision occurs, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the center portion 51 is pushed rearward relative to the side portion 52 by the load F1 of the occupant P, and the connection portion 59 is deformed rearward to center the connection portion. The inner end portion of the line L1 is directed to the side (inner side) from FIG. As described above, the connecting portion 59 is deformed while changing its direction like an arm, so that the central portion 51 is easily moved rearward with respect to the side portion 52. That is, when the occupant P moves rearward at the time of a rear collision, the seat back cushion 50 is less likely to become resistance, and the load applied to the seat back S1 (the central portion 51 of the seat back cushion 50) from the upper body of the occupant P is efficiently received by the pressure receiving member. 20 can tell.

そして、本実施形態の車両用シートSによれば、後面溝54の底部54Aは、前面溝53の底部53Aや、表皮部材70の入れ込み部74の先端74Aよりも前方に位置しているので、接続部59が特に変形しやすく、中央部51が側部52に対して相対的に後方に移動しやすい。   And according to the vehicle seat S of the present embodiment, the bottom portion 54A of the rear groove 54 is located in front of the bottom portion 53A of the front groove 53 and the tip 74A of the insertion portion 74 of the skin member 70. The connecting portion 59 is particularly easily deformed, and the central portion 51 is likely to move backward relative to the side portion 52.

また、車両用シートSは、シートバッククッション50の後面に裏地55を有するが、裏地55は、接続部59に対応して上下に延びる切れ目55Aを有するので、後面衝突時に裏地55が接続部59の変形を阻害しにくく、中央部51が側部52に対して相対的に後方に移動しやすい。   Further, the vehicle seat S has a lining 55 on the rear surface of the seat back cushion 50, but the lining 55 has a cut 55 </ b> A extending vertically corresponding to the connection portion 59, so that the lining 55 is connected to the connection portion 59 at the time of rear collision. Therefore, the central portion 51 is likely to move backward relative to the side portion 52.

また、ストッパ17,18の付近は、それぞれ、サイドフレーム10の縁を折り曲げてなる前縁部12および後縁部13によりほぼ覆われているので、ストッパ17,18と回動部材40との間にストッパ17,18の前後からクッションやハーネスなどの他の部材が挟まることを抑制でき、回動部材40の十分なストロークを確保することができる。これによっても乗員PをシートバックS1内に深く入り込ませる確実性を高めることができる。   Further, the vicinity of the stoppers 17 and 18 is almost covered by the front edge portion 12 and the rear edge portion 13 formed by bending the edge of the side frame 10, respectively. In addition, it is possible to prevent other members such as cushions and harnesses from being sandwiched from before and after the stoppers 17 and 18, and a sufficient stroke of the rotating member 40 can be ensured. This also increases the certainty that the occupant P enters the seat back S1 deeply.

以上に本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明は、以下の他の形態に示すように、適宜変形して実施することが可能である。なお、前記実施形態および以下の変形例において、シートバックフレーム1内には、シートバッククッション50やハーネスなどの部材が詰まるように配されるため、シートバックS1内のスペースを少しでも確保して、乗員PがシートバックS1内に入り込みやすいようにすることが有効である。   Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention can be implemented with appropriate modifications as shown in other embodiments below. In the above-described embodiment and the following modified examples, the seat back frame 1 is arranged such that members such as the seat back cushion 50 and the harness are jammed, so that a little space in the seat back S1 is secured. It is effective for the passenger P to easily enter the seat back S1.

前記実施形態においては、前面凹部の例として、上下に連続的に延びる前面溝53を例示したが、前面凹部は、上下に断続的に並んで配置された凹部であってもよい。もっとも、前面凹部は、前記実施形態のように、連続して形成された凹部からなる溝形状の方が、接続部59の変形を容易にすることができる。同様に、前記実施形態においては、後面凹部の例として、上下に連続的に延びる後面溝54を例示したが、後面凹部は、上下に断続的に並んで配置された凹部であってもよい。もっとも、後面凹部は、前記実施形態のように、連続して形成された凹部からなる溝形状の方が、接続部59の変形を容易にすることができる   In the above-described embodiment, the front groove 53 continuously extending in the vertical direction is illustrated as an example of the front concave portion. However, the front concave portion may be a concave portion arranged intermittently in the vertical direction. However, as for the front concave portion, the groove portion formed by the concave portions formed continuously as in the above-described embodiment can facilitate the deformation of the connecting portion 59. Similarly, in the embodiment, as an example of the rear surface recess, the rear groove 54 that extends continuously up and down is illustrated, but the rear surface recess may be a recess that is arranged intermittently in the vertical direction. However, the groove on the rear surface having a continuously formed recess can facilitate the deformation of the connecting portion 59 as in the above embodiment.

前記実施形態においては、回動部材40が、ヘッドレストS3から独立して回動する形態について説明したが、特許文献1のように、受圧部材の動作に伴いヘッドレストS3が前方へ移動する乗物用シートに本発明を適用することもできる。   In the above-described embodiment, the rotating member 40 has been described as rotating independently of the headrest S3. However, as in Patent Document 1, the vehicle seat in which the headrest S3 moves forward in accordance with the operation of the pressure receiving member. The present invention can also be applied to.

前記実施形態においては、裏地55の切れ目の例として、上下方向に連続的に延びるものを示したが、本発明にいう切れ目は、上下方向に断続的に延びる、いわばミシン目状の切れ目であってもよい。   In the above-described embodiment, as an example of the cut of the lining 55, the continuous cut in the vertical direction is shown. However, the cut in the present invention is a so-called perforated cut extending in the vertical direction. May be.

前記実施形態においては、前面凹部および後面凹部がそれぞれ1つのみの形態を示したが、図8に示すように、前面凹部153および後面凹部154を繰り返し設けてシートバッククッション150の接続部159をアコーデオン状に形成してもよい。このような形態によれば、接続部159の変形がより容易になるので、中央部151を側部152に対してより後方へ移動させやすくなる。   In the above-described embodiment, only one front concave portion and one rear concave portion are shown. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the front concave portion 153 and the rear concave portion 154 are repeatedly provided to connect the connecting portion 159 of the seat back cushion 150. You may form in an accordion form. According to such a form, since the deformation of the connecting portion 159 becomes easier, the central portion 151 can be easily moved rearward with respect to the side portion 152.

前記実施形態においては、裏地55をシートバッククッション50の後面に設けたが、裏地55と同様の力布をシートバッククッション50の少なくとも前面における中央部51と側部52とに跨って設けてもよい。この場合、中央部51と側部52の境界に対応する部位で接続部59の変形が容易になるように、当該部分に破断部、つまり裏地55の切れ目55Aと同様、上下に連続して切れている部分や、ミシン目のように断続的に切れている部分、もしくは薄肉となって弱くなっている部分を設けるとよい。例えば、シートバッククッション50の前面に張り付けた力布のうち、前面凹部(前面溝53)に張り付いた部分で、上下に延びるミシン目を設けるとよい。このようにすることで、後面衝突時に力布に掛かる荷重が破断部に集中して、力布が破断したり、場合によっては接続部59が破断するので中央部51が後方に移動しやすくなる。   In the above-described embodiment, the lining 55 is provided on the rear surface of the seat back cushion 50, but the same cloth as the lining 55 may be provided across at least the center portion 51 and the side portion 52 on the front surface of the seat back cushion 50. Good. In this case, in order to facilitate the deformation of the connecting portion 59 at the portion corresponding to the boundary between the central portion 51 and the side portion 52, the portion is continuously cut up and down like the break portion 55, that is, the cut 55A of the lining 55. It is good to provide the part which is cut | disconnected, the part cut | disconnected intermittently like a perforation, or the part which becomes thin and weak. For example, it is good to provide the perforation which extends up and down by the part stuck to the front-surface recessed part (front-surface groove | channel 53) among the power cloths stuck to the front surface of the seat back cushion 50. By doing in this way, the load applied to the bundling at the time of rear collision concentrates on the broken part, and the bundling breaks or the connecting part 59 breaks in some cases, so that the central part 51 can easily move backward. .

また、このような力布を、シートバッククッション50に張り付けるのではなく、表皮部材70の裏に、張り付けまたは縫い付けなどにより設けてもよい。この場合、力布における中央部51と側部52の境界に対応する部分、例えば入れ込み部74に対応する部位に上下に延びる破断部を設けておくとよい。これによっても、表皮部材70は、後面衝突時に力布の破断部に対応する部分で荷重が集中するので当該破断部で力布および表皮部材70が破断し易く、シートバッククッション50の中央部51が後方へ移動しやすくなる。   Further, such a blanket may be provided not on the seat back cushion 50 but on the back of the skin member 70 by pasting or sewing. In this case, it is preferable to provide a breaking portion that extends in the vertical direction at a portion corresponding to the boundary between the central portion 51 and the side portion 52 in the bundling, for example, at a portion corresponding to the insertion portion 74. Also in this case, the load on the skin member 70 is concentrated at the portion corresponding to the rupture portion of the bundling at the time of rear collision, so that the burping and the skin member 70 are easily broken at the rupture portion, and the central portion 51 of the seat back cushion 50 is obtained. Becomes easier to move backwards.

さらに、表皮部材70自体が、シートバッククッション50の中央部51および側部52の境界に対応する部分に破断部が設けられていてもよい。このようにすることで、後面衝突時に表皮部材70が破断部において破断して、中央部51が後方へ移動しやすくなる。   Further, the skin member 70 itself may be provided with a break portion at a portion corresponding to the boundary between the central portion 51 and the side portion 52 of the seat back cushion 50. By doing in this way, at the time of a rear surface collision, the skin member 70 breaks | ruptures in a fracture | rupture part, and the center part 51 becomes easy to move back.

また、受圧部材20を変形しやすくすることで、後面衝突時に乗員Pを後方へ移動しやすくすることもできる。
例えば図9(a),(b)に示すように、第1の変形例に係る受圧部材120は、左右方向中央に、上下全体に延びる薄肉部121が形成される。薄肉部121は、受圧部材120の前面に凹部122を、後面に凹部123を設けることにより形成されている。そして、下部ワイヤ46および上部ワイヤ47は、薄肉部121における受圧部材120の屈曲を阻害しないように、適度に変形容易な材質および直径で構成される。このような薄肉部121を設けることで、後面衝突時に受圧部材120が薄肉部121において屈曲しやすくなり、乗員Pを後方へ移動させやすくなる。なお、薄肉部121は、受圧部材120の上下方向の一部にのみ延びるように設けられていてもよい。
In addition, by making the pressure receiving member 20 easier to deform, it is possible to make it easier for the occupant P to move rearward in the event of a rear collision.
For example, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the pressure receiving member 120 according to the first modification has a thin portion 121 extending in the entire vertical direction at the center in the left-right direction. The thin portion 121 is formed by providing a recess 122 on the front surface of the pressure receiving member 120 and a recess 123 on the rear surface. And the lower wire 46 and the upper wire 47 are comprised with the material and diameter which are moderately easily deformable so that the bending of the pressure receiving member 120 in the thin part 121 may not be inhibited. By providing such a thin portion 121, the pressure receiving member 120 is easily bent at the thin portion 121 at the time of a rear collision, and the occupant P is easily moved backward. Note that the thin portion 121 may be provided so as to extend only in a part of the pressure receiving member 120 in the vertical direction.

また、図10(a),(b)に示すように、第2の変形例に係る受圧部材220は、左右方向中央に、上下全体に延びる薄肉部221が形成され、薄肉部221上に、断続的な孔225が並んで形成される。薄肉部221は、受圧部材220の前面に凹部222を、後面に凹部223を設けることにより形成されている。このような薄肉部221および孔225を設けることで、後面衝突時に受圧部材220が薄肉部221において破断し易くなり、乗員Pを後方へ移動させやすくなる。   Further, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the pressure receiving member 220 according to the second modified example is formed with a thin portion 221 extending in the entire vertical direction at the center in the left-right direction, and on the thin portion 221, Intermittent holes 225 are formed side by side. The thin portion 221 is formed by providing a recess 222 on the front surface of the pressure receiving member 220 and a recess 223 on the rear surface. By providing such a thin portion 221 and the hole 225, the pressure receiving member 220 is easily broken at the thin portion 221 at the time of a rear collision, and the occupant P is easily moved rearward.

また、前記実施形態においては、乗物用シートの適用例として車両用シートSを示したが、本発明の乗物用シートは、その他の乗物用シート、例えば、船舶用や航空機用のシートに適用することもできる。   Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the vehicle seat S was shown as an example of application of a vehicle seat, the vehicle seat of this invention is applied to the sheet | seat for other vehicles, for example, a ship, and an aircraft.
