着せ替えカバー8は、スライドファスナー50を利用して着脱可能であり、好みのデザインのカバーへの変更、当該カバーのクリーニングなどを可能ないしは容易にするものである。本実施形態の着せ替えカバー8は、座2においても、背もたれ3においても、ベースカバー7の主面部71に覆い被せられる。
The dressing cover 8 is detachable by using the slide fastener 50, and makes it possible or easy to change to a cover with a desired design and to clean the cover. The dressing cover 8 according to the present embodiment covers the main surface portion 71 of the base cover 7 in both the seat 2 and the backrest 3.
ヒーター9は、座2および背もたれ3の少なくとも一方、本実施形態では両方に設けられているもので、例えばメインクッション部41とベースカバー7の間に配置されている(図2等参照)。ヒーター9としては、熱線などからなる発熱体をヒーターマットに取り付けた面状ヒーターなどが用いられる。
The heater 9 is provided in at least one of the seat 2 and the backrest 3 in the present embodiment, and is disposed, for example, between the main cushion portion 41 and the base cover 7 (see FIG. 2 and the like). As the heater 9, a planar heater or the like in which a heating element made of hot wire or the like is attached to a heater mat is used.
ヒーターECU10は、ヒーター9を制御して温度調整をする制御装置である。例えば本実施形態のヒーターECU10は座2の下部に配置されており、座2のヒーター9と背もたれ3のヒーター9の両方を制御する(図2参照)。ヒーターECU10とヒーター9はハーネス11で接続されている(図2参照)。また、ヒーターECU10と開閉検出部20は、電源側信号線21およびGND側信号線22で接続されている。
The heater ECU 10 is a control device that controls the heater 9 to adjust the temperature. For example, the heater ECU 10 of the present embodiment is disposed below the seat 2 and controls both the heater 9 of the seat 2 and the heater 9 of the backrest 3 (see FIG. 2). The heater ECU 10 and the heater 9 are connected by a harness 11 (see FIG. 2). The heater ECU 10 and the open / close detection unit 20 are connected by a power supply side signal line 21 and a GND side signal line 22.
開閉検出部20は、スライドファスナー50の開閉を電気的に検出する。開閉検出部20は、導電性エレメント513C,514C、電源側信号線21、GND側信号線22を含む。
The opening / closing detection unit 20 electrically detects the opening / closing of the slide fastener 50. The open / close detection unit 20 includes conductive elements 513C and 514C, a power supply side signal line 21, and a GND side signal line 22.
導電性エレメント513C,514Cは、スライドファスナー50を構成するエレメント513,514のうちの一部を構成するもので、金属などの導電性材料からなり、スライドファスナー50が閉じたときに互いに接触し合って電気的に接続される電極として機能する。これら導電性エレメント513C,514C以外のエレメント513,514は、絶縁材料や樹脂などの非導電性材料からなる(図4、図5参照)。
The conductive elements 513C and 514C constitute a part of the elements 513 and 514 constituting the slide fastener 50, are made of a conductive material such as metal, and contact each other when the slide fastener 50 is closed. And function as an electrode to be electrically connected. The elements 513 and 514 other than the conductive elements 513C and 514C are made of a nonconductive material such as an insulating material or resin (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
ベース側テープ部511に設けられる導電性エレメント513Cと、着せ替えカバー側テープ部512に設けられる導電性エレメント514Cは、ファスニング部51を締結状態としたとき、互いに噛み合って接触し合う位置に配置されている(図1、図2参照)。導電性エレメント513Cと導電性エレメント514Cは、噛み合って接触し合うことにより導電路を形成する。また、導電性エレメント513Cは、隣り合う位置に配置された2個のエレメントからなる(図4参照)。これら2個の導電性エレメント513Cは、いずれもが導電性エレメント514Cと噛み合う(図5参照)。
The conductive element 513C provided on the base side tape portion 511 and the conductive element 514C provided on the dressing cover side tape portion 512 are arranged at positions where they mesh with each other and come into contact when the fastening portion 51 is in a fastening state. (See FIGS. 1 and 2). The conductive element 513C and the conductive element 514C are engaged to come into contact with each other to form a conductive path. In addition, the conductive element 513C includes two elements arranged at adjacent positions (see FIG. 4). Each of these two conductive elements 513C meshes with the conductive element 514C (see FIG. 5).
電源側信号線21とGND側信号線22は、※導電検出回路を構成する信号線である。電源側信号線21はベース側テープ部511側に配置されて一方の導電性エレメント513Cに接続されている。また、GND側信号線22もベース側テープ部511側に配置されてもう一方の導電性エレメント514Cに接続されている(図4、図5等参照)。
The power supply side signal line 21 and the GND side signal line 22 are signal lines constituting a conductivity detection circuit. The power supply side signal line 21 is disposed on the base tape portion 511 side and connected to one conductive element 513C. The GND side signal line 22 is also arranged on the base side tape portion 511 side and connected to the other conductive element 514C (see FIGS. 4 and 5).
以上のように構成された開閉検出部20は、スライドファスナー50のうち、導電性エレメント513C,514Cが配置された部分が閉められているかどうかを電気的に検出することを可能とする。すなわち、スライドファスナー50のファスニング部51を締結状態とすると、導電性エレメント513Cと導電性エレメント514Cとが噛み合い、電源側信号線21とGND側信号線22とがこれら導電性エレメント513C,514Cを介して電気的に接続されて導電(通電)状態となる。
The open / close detection unit 20 configured as described above can electrically detect whether or not the portion of the slide fastener 50 where the conductive elements 513C and 514C are disposed is closed. That is, when the fastening portion 51 of the slide fastener 50 is in the fastening state, the conductive element 513C and the conductive element 514C are engaged with each other, and the power supply side signal line 21 and the GND side signal line 22 are interposed via these conductive elements 513C and 514C. Are electrically connected and become conductive (energized).
これにより、着せ替えカバー8が取り付けられた状態にあることを自動判断したヒーターECU10は、この自動判断結果に基づき適切な温度となるようヒーター9を自動制御する。また、電源側信号線21とGND側信号線22とが導電(通電)状態になければ、着せ替えカバー8が取り付けられていない(あるいは着せ替えカバー8が所定位置の所定の状態で取り付けられていない)と判断し、適切な温度(具体的には、表皮材の薄さに適した、通常よりも低い温度)となるようヒーター9を自動制御する。
Thus, the heater ECU 10 that automatically determines that the dressing cover 8 is attached, automatically controls the heater 9 based on the result of the automatic determination so that the heater 9 has an appropriate temperature. If the power-side signal line 21 and the GND-side signal line 22 are not in a conductive (energized) state, the dressing cover 8 is not attached (or the dressing cover 8 is attached in a predetermined state at a predetermined position). The heater 9 is automatically controlled so as to reach an appropriate temperature (specifically, a temperature lower than usual, suitable for the thinness of the skin material).
また、本実施形態では、電源側信号線21とGND側信号線22(およびこれらに接続される電極)をスライドファスナー50の片方のテープ部(ベース側テープ部511)にのみ設置していることから、例えば着せ替えカバー8をクリーニングしても信号線や電極への影響を避けるための構造として好適である。
In the present embodiment, the power-side signal line 21 and the GND-side signal line 22 (and electrodes connected thereto) are installed only on one tape part (base-side tape part 511) of the slide fastener 50. Therefore, for example, even if the dressing cover 8 is cleaned, it is suitable as a structure for avoiding the influence on the signal lines and the electrodes.
なお、上述の実施形態は本発明の好適な実施の一例ではあるがこれに限定されるものではなく本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲において種々変形実施可能である。例えば、本発明に係るシート1は各種車両などの乗り物用のシート(自動車用シートのほか、航空機用シート、旅客船用シートなど)に適用することができるのはもちろんのこと、乗り物用でないシートにも適用することができる。
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 gist of the present invention. For example, the seat 1 according to the present invention can be applied to seats for vehicles such as various vehicles (in addition to automobile seats, aircraft seats, passenger ship seats, etc.), as well as non-vehicle seats. Can also be applied.
また、特に図示はしていないが、開閉検出部20をスライドファスナー50の複数箇所に配置してもよい。こうした場合には、複数の開閉検出部20それぞれの導通状態に基づいて、スライドファスナー50の開度(どこまで閉じているのか)を検出することができる。あるいは、着せ替えカバー8の種類ごとに、当該着せ替えカバー8の着せ替えカバー側テープ部512に配置する導電性エレメント514Cの配置数(配置パターン)を異ならせておけば、複数の開閉検出部20における検出数(検出パターン)に基づき、シート1に取り付けられた着せ替えカバー8の種類を自動判別することが可能となる(一例として、ベース側テープ部511に5つ配置された導電性エレメント513Cに対し、ある種類の着せ替えカバー8の着せ替えカバー側テープ部512には3つの導電性エレメント514Cを、導通時にY,N,Y,N,Y(ただし、Yは導通、Nは非導通)となるパターンで配置し、該パターンと着せ替えカバー8の種別を紐づけしておく、等)。
Although not specifically shown, the open / close detection units 20 may be arranged at a plurality of locations on the slide fastener 50. In such a case, the opening degree of the slide fastener 50 (how far it is closed) can be detected based on the conduction state of each of the plurality of open / close detection units 20. Alternatively, if the number of conductive elements 514 </ b> C (arrangement patterns) arranged on the dressing cover side tape portion 512 of the dressing cover 8 is different for each type of dressing cover 8, a plurality of opening / closing detection units are provided. 20, it is possible to automatically determine the type of the dressing cover 8 attached to the sheet 1 based on the number of detections (detection pattern) 20 (for example, five conductive elements arranged on the base-side tape portion 511. In contrast to 513C, three conductive elements 514C are connected to the tape cover 512 of the dressing cover 8 of a certain type, Y, N, Y, N, Y (when Y is conductive, N is non-conductive) And the like, and the type of the dressing cover 8 is associated with the pattern, etc.).
