Another embodiment relates to a vehicle interior and a vehicle door, and relates to a vehicle interior and a vehicle door provided with a heating device and a lighting device.

International Publication No. 2019/064359 discloses interior parts for vehicles having a heater function. Specifically, a planar heater is arranged above the armrest provided on the door trim of the vehicle door and arranged at a position where the seated occupant can easily touch it. This planar heater is arranged on an intermediate contact member arranged above the armrest and outside in the vehicle width direction, and is configured by covering a heat-generating wire that can be energized with a non-woven fabric constituting the surface layer of the intermediate contact member. By energizing the heating wire, the heating wire generates heat, and when the occupant supports the arm or the like on the armrest, the occupant's arm or the like that touches the intermediate member can be heated.

By the way, in order for the seated occupant to grasp the temperature of the planar heater in International Publication No. 2019/064359, the state of the switch for turning on the planar heater is visually confirmed or the planar heater is directly touched. I needed it. In addition, even if the switch of the planar heater is ON, there is a time lag until the heating wire itself heats up, and there is a time lag until the heating wire warms the surface layer of the armrest, so the occupant can actually touch it. I could only get a sense of warmth. Therefore, it has been desired that the temperature of the planar heater can be perceived without the occupant actually touching it. In addition, there has been a demand for a technique that makes the temperature feel higher than the occupant actually touches.

The vehicle interiors of other embodiments described below have been invented, for example, in view of the above problems, the purpose of which is to perceive the state of the heating device without the occupant actually touching the heating device.

Further, in the above configuration, the control device displays the display device in the initial display mode when the heating device is in the reference state, with the case where the heating device is in an arbitrary state as a reference state. When the state of the heating device detected by the detection device is the first state satisfying the first condition, the display device may be displayed in a first display mode different from the initial display mode.
By visualizing the heating device for each state, the occupant can perceive the state of the heating device.

Further, in the above configuration, the control device displays the display device when the state of the heating device detected by the detection device is a second state satisfying a second condition different from the first condition. It is preferable to display in a second display mode different from the first display mode.

As shown in FIG. 10, the vehicle interior product 210 of the other embodiment has a door heater 211 as a heating device, a thermistor 212 as a detection device, and a lighting device 213 as a display device, as hardware configurations. It includes an operation switch 214, which is a device, and an ECU 215, which is a control device. The door heater 211, the thermistor 212, the lighting device 213, the operation switch 214 and the ECU 215 are connected by a harness or a connection cable, and the door heater 211 and the lighting device 213 are controlled by the ECU 215.

The door heater 211 is a heating device that radiates heat into the vehicle interior to warm the occupants, and is composed of a heater base cloth 211b including a heating wire 211a. The door heater 211 is arranged in the central member 204 of the door trim 201 and in the armrest 206 as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. The door heater 211 is arranged in the central member 204 at the same position as the armrest 206 at least in the front-rear direction of the door. As shown in FIG. 9, the base material 226 of the armrest 206 is provided on the car-inside surface of the door trim 1, and the heat-shielding material 221 that shields heat from the door heater 211 is provided on the car-inside surface of the base material 226.

A heater base cloth 211b including a heating wire 211a is provided as a door heater 211 on the car inside surface of the heat shield material 221, and a slab 222 and a skin material 223 are further arranged on the car inside surface of the door heater 211 in this order.

A thermistor 212 for detecting the temperature of the door heater 211 is provided in the vicinity of the door heater 211. The thermistor 212 is connected to the ECU 215 by a harness 212a, and the temperature information detected by the thermistor 212 is transmitted to the ECU 215.

The lighting device 213 is composed of a transparent decorative panel 213a and a light source unit 213b arranged above the decorative panel 213a. Similar to the light source unit 30A shown in FIG. 4, the light source unit 213b includes a light emitting body and an elongated rod-shaped light guide body connected to the light emitting body. The back surface of the decorative panel 213a has a saw-like cross section as shown in FIG. The light emitted from the light guide of the light source unit 213b enters from the upper end of the decorative panel 213a and is refracted by the back surface of the decorative panel 213a so that the surface of the decorative panel 213a shines. ..

Further, the lighting device 213 is provided in the vehicle interior and is controlled by the ECU 215, and its light emitting mode (display mode) can be changed. The lighting device 213 can change the color to be emitted by individually adjusting the R value indicating red, the G value indicating green, and the B value indicating blue among the RGB values indicating color information. More specifically, the color of the surface of the decorative panel 213a is changed by changing the emission color of the light emitting body included in the light source unit 213b of the lighting device 213.

The ECU 215 is a control device, and includes a processor 215a (control unit), a memory 215b (storage unit), and an input interface 215c. The processor 41 executes various arithmetic processes based on programs and data stored in the memory 42 and signals received from each device connected via the input interface 215c, and controls the lighting device 213 and the door heater 211. It is a central processing unit. The memory 42 is, for example, a semiconductor memory, which stores various programs and data, and also functions as a work memory of the processor 41. In another embodiment, the light emitting mode, conditions, set temperature, etc. to be displayed on the lighting device 213, which will be described later, are stored. The input interface 215c is connected to the door heater 211, the thermistor 212, the lighting device 213, and the operation switch 214, and communicates with each device.

In the vehicle interior product 210 of another embodiment, the thermistor 212 detects the temperature of the door heater 211, and the thermistor 212 transmits the detected temperature information to the ECU 215. The ECU 215 changes the display of the lighting device 213 based on the received temperature information, in other words, the state of the door heater 211. For example, when the temperature of the door heater 211 rises, the ECU 215 changes the emission color of the lighting device 213 from yellow to orange and from orange to red to display it.

More specifically, the emission color change process performed by the ECU 215 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.
Three modes (initial light emitting mode, first light emitting mode, and second light emitting mode) in which the lighting device 213 emits light are set. The initial light emitting mode, the first light emitting mode, and the second light emitting mode are set so that their light emitting modes are different. Specifically, how to make the lighting device 213 emit light is set in each mode. For example, it is set to emit yellow light in the initial light emitting mode, orange light in the first light emitting mode, and red light in the second light emitting mode. The initial light emitting mode, the first light emitting mode, and the second light emitting mode are examples of the initial display mode, the first display mode, and the second display mode of the present invention, and in addition to changing the emission color, the lighting device 213 The brightness may be changed or the temperature state may be displayed numerically.

In addition, the first temperature, which is the threshold value of the condition (first condition) for changing from the initial light emission mode to the first light emission mode, is set. In addition, a second temperature, which is a threshold value of the condition (second condition) for changing to the second light emission mode, is set. The first temperature and the second temperature, which are threshold values, are stored in advance in the memory of the ECU 215. Further, the first temperature and the second temperature may be changed by the occupant using the operation switch 214 or the like.

The occupant turns on the power of the door heater 211 by using the operation switch 214 (S101). The thermistor 212 detects the temperature of the door heater 211 (S102). Immediately after the power is turned on, the heating wire 211a of the door heater 211 is not yet warmed (reference state). It takes time for the heating wire 211a to warm up sufficiently (there is a time lag). The thermistor 212 detects the temperature in a state where it has not been warmed up yet, and transmits the temperature information to the ECU 215 (S102). The ECU 215 determines whether the temperature (temperature information) of the door heater 211 is equal to or higher than the first temperature (S103). When the ECU 215 determines that the temperature of the door heater 211 is not equal to or higher than the first temperature (No in S103), the ECU 215 displays the lighting device 213 in the initial display mode, for example, emits light in yellow. The thermistor continues to detect the temperature of the door heater, and the ECU 215 determines the temperature of the door heater 211. When the ECU 215 determines that the temperature of the door heater 211 is equal to or higher than the first temperature (Yes in S103), the ECU 215 displays the lighting device 213 in the first display mode, for example, emits light in orange.

The thermistor 212 continues to detect the temperature of the door heater 211 and transmits the detected temperature information to the ECU 215 (S106). The ECU 215 determines whether the temperature (temperature information) of the door heater 211 is equal to or higher than the second temperature (S107). When the ECU 215 determines that the temperature of the door heater 211 is not equal to or higher than the second set temperature (No in S107), the ECU 215 displays the lighting device 213 in the first display mode. The thermistor 212 continues to detect the temperature of the door heater 211, and the ECU 215 determines the temperature of the door heater 211. When the ECU 215 determines that the temperature of the door heater 211 is equal to or higher than the second set temperature (Yes in S107), the ECU 215 displays the lighting device 213 in the second display mode, for example, emits light in red.

As shown in FIG. 12, when a sufficient time has passed since the power of the door heater 211 was turned on and the temperature reaches the second temperature or higher, the temperature does not rise more than a certain level.
After that, when the power of the door heater 211 is turned off (S109), the lighting device 213 may be turned off.

In the above example, the initial light emission mode is set to yellow, the first light emission mode is set to orange, and the second light emission mode is set to red, but this is an example and is not limited to this combination. When the light source unit of the illuminating device can individually adjust the R value, G value, and B value of the RGB values, the ECU 215 has an RGB adjusting unit that changes the light emitting mode of the illuminating device 213, whereby The R value indicating red is set high. Specifically, the R value of the second light emitting mode is set higher than the R value of the first light emitting mode, and the R value of the third light emitting mode is set higher than the R value of the second light emitting mode.

If the ambient temperature is high, such as in the interior space of a car parked in the summer, the temperature of the door heater 211 detected by the thermistor 212 may be high even if the door heater 211 is not used. In such a case, a cool feeling may be produced by setting the emission color of the lighting device 213 to a cool color. More specifically, when the temperature detected by the thermistor 212 exceeds a predetermined fourth temperature when the door heater is OFF, the B value indicating blue among the emission colors emitted by the light source unit is the R value. And set to be higher than the G value.

The above processing will be described with reference to FIG. First, it is confirmed whether or not the power of the door heater 211 is turned on (S201). When the door heater 211 is ON (Yes in S201), the process S100 for changing the emission color of the lighting device 213 shown in FIG. 11 is performed. When the door heater 211 is not ON (No in S201), the ECU 215 confirms whether or not the door heater 211 has been driven until just before (S202). If the door heater 211 has been driven until just before (Yes in S202), the confirmation of whether or not the power of the door heater 211 is turned on is continued. When the door heater 211 is not driven (No in S202), the temperature of the door heater 211 is detected (S203), and it is confirmed whether or not the detected temperature is equal to or higher than the preset fourth temperature. If the temperature is not higher than the fourth temperature (No in S204), it is confirmed whether or not the power of the door heater 211 is continuously turned on. When the temperature is higher than the fourth temperature (Yes in S204), the door heater 211 is not used, but the temperature is higher due to the indoor environment temperature. Therefore, the light emitting color of the lighting device 213 is set to be cold. Specifically, the emission color is set so that the B value is higher than the R value and the G value (S205), and the lighting device 213 is made to emit light (S206). Next, it is detected whether or not the display OFF is selected (S207). When the display OFF is not selected (No in S207), the lighting device 213 continues to emit light, and emits light until the display of the lighting device 213 is turned off by the occupant. When OFF is selected by the occupant (Yes in S207), the lighting device 213 is turned off and the process ends.

Also, even when the power of the door heater 211 is turned off, the temperature of the heating wire 211a does not drop suddenly. Therefore, when the lighting device 213 is used to notify that the temperature has dropped after the power of the door heater 211 is turned off, the occupant can recognize that the temperature of the door heater 211 has dropped. Therefore, when a certain period of time has passed since the power was turned off, the emission color of the lighting device may be a cold color. More specifically, after the door heater 211 is turned off, the elapsed time is measured, and after a certain time has elapsed, the light source unit is made to emit light in the third light emitting mode. At this time, among the emission colors emitted by the light source unit, the B value indicating blue is set to be higher than the R value and the G value.

The above processing will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 and 14. First, it is confirmed whether or not the power of the door heater 211 is turned on (S301). When the door heater 211 is ON (Yes in S301), the process S100 for changing the emission color of the lighting device 213 shown in FIG. 11 is performed. When the door heater 211 is not ON (No in S301), the ECU 215 confirms whether or not the door heater 211 has been driven until immediately before (S302). If the door heater has not been driven until just before (No in S302), the process returns to S301 and continues to check whether the power of the door heater 211 is turned on.

When the door heater 211 is driving (Yes in S302), the elapsed time from the time when the door heater 211 is turned off (the time when the time becomes t3 in FIG. 12) is measured, and whether or not the predetermined time has elapsed. Is determined (S303). If the predetermined time has not elapsed (No in S303), the process returns to S301. When a predetermined time has elapsed (Yes in S303), for example, when the time shown in FIG. 12 is t4, the ECU 215 sets the display content of the light source unit 213b to the third light emitting mode, and causes the lighting device 213 to emit light. Specifically, the emission color of the lighting device 213 is set so that the B value is higher than the R value and the G value (S304), and the lighting device 213 is made to emit light (S305). After that, it is detected whether or not the display OFF is selected (S306). When the display OFF is not selected (No in S306), the lighting device 213 continues to emit light, and emits light until the display of the lighting device 213 is turned off by the occupant. When OFF is selected by the occupant (Yes in S306), the lighting device 213 is turned off, that is, the display is terminated.

By controlling the lighting device 213 in this way and adjusting so that the blue color of the RGB values becomes darker when a predetermined time elapses after the power supply to the door heater 211 is turned off, the door heater 211 cools down. It is possible to make it easier to see.

Further, in the vehicle door D2, the lighting device 213 is arranged in the vicinity of the door heater 211, more specifically, between the upper end portion 201a of the door trim 201 and the upper end portion 206a of the armrest 216 provided with the door heater 211. .. By arranging the lighting device 213 in the vicinity of the door heater 211, it is easy for the occupant to associate the display of the lighting device 213 with the temperature of the door heater 211.

Further, in the vehicle door D2, the lighting device 213 is arranged between the upper end portion 201a of the door trim 201 and the upper end portion 206a of the upper end portion 206a of the armrest 206. Since it is arranged at a position above the armrest 206 on which the arm is supposed to be placed and lower than the window member 202, the lighting device 213 can be visually recognized at a position that is not easily affected by the outside brightness.

Further, in the vehicle door D2, the door heater 211 is arranged at the same position as the armrest 206 in the central member 204 at least in the front-rear direction. Further, the lighting device 213 is arranged above the door heater 211.
Since the lighting device 213 is arranged above the armrest 206, which is assumed to be arranged with the occupant's arm in contact with the door heater 211, the occupant is in a position with high visibility even when the arm is placed on the door heater 211. Can recognize the warmth of the lighting device 213.

The vehicle door D2 including the vehicle interior product 210 and the vehicle interior product 210, which are other embodiments, has been described above with reference to FIGS. 8 to 14. In the vehicle interior product 210, a lighting device 213 that emits light by using a light source unit 213b using a light guide is used as a display device, but the display device is not limited to this, and a plurality of LEDs are used as the light source unit. The lighting device may be arranged in a straight line, and the display device may be a liquid crystal panel.
Further, in the vehicle interior product 210, the temperature of the door heater 211 was detected as a thermal state, but this is an example, and when the position where the door heater 211 is heated can be individually controlled, the temperature is warmed. Depending on the situation, a display device may be used to display the location.

Further, in order to display by the lighting device 213 day and night, a POWER LED capable of emitting more powerful light with a stronger output may be used. In that case, it is necessary to suppress the temperature rise of the light emitter of the lighting device 213 by using a heat sink or a blower. In this case, a heat sink may be used instead of the door heater 211 which is a heating device. When a blower is used for cooling, the warm air that has passed through the blower may be used as a heating device instead of the door heater 211. Not only can the number of parts be reduced, but the light emitting energy of the light emitting body can be effectively used while suppressing the temperature rise of the light emitting body.
