Abstract

There is provided a conveyance seat that allows the slide movement and the rotational movement of a seat body to be started at appropriate timings. A conveyance seat includes a seat body in which an occupant is seated; a slide mechanism that moves the seat body in a sliding manner; a rotation mechanism that rotationally moves the seat body with an up to down direction as a rotation axis; a control unit that controls an operation of the slide mechanism and the rotation mechanism; and an operation unit that instructs the control unit to start control. When the control unit receives an instruction from the operation unit, the control unit sets a transition start time of each of the slide mechanism and the rotation mechanism.

Abstract

A vehicle interior device 1 that is provided inside a vehicle includes a humidity power generation element that generates electric power via changes in humidity. In prior-art power generation schemes, it has been easy to cause restrictions on the installation location and versatility has been low, but the humidity power generation element does not have any restrictions on the installation location as long as there are humidity changes, and has high versatility. In addition, changes in humidity occur spontaneously and have no other uses, and energy can therefore be saved by effectively utilizing unnecessary energy. Humidity increases and decreases as passengers enter and exit the vehicle; therefore, the humidity power generation element can efficiently generate power in particular.

Abstract

In a seat-rotating device that enables a seat to be rotated on a base member, a rattle-suppressing member operating in association with a lock member, which switches between the locked state in which rotation of an annular rotating member supporting a seat frame is prevented and release of the locked state, is in close contact with both a support member and the annular rotating member when the lock member is at the locked position, and a gap is created between the support member and the annular rotating member when the lock member attains the lock release position. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the seat from rattling when it is in a stationary state and to facilitate rotation by releasing the rattle-preventing state when the seat is rotating.

Abstract

In an arrangement which includes: a seat support body slidably supported on a fixed rail fixed to a floor; a power supply device supplying power to an electrical component on a seat side; and a drive device driving the seat support body in a front-and-rear direction and having a motor and a transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through an interior of the fixed rail, the power supply device includes: a housing housing an electric wire for power supply; and a slider linked to the seat support body and slidable within the fixed rail. The electric wire is drawn out from the housing, retained by the slider and slidable within the fixed rail. The slider has an interference-avoiding portion for avoiding interference with the transmission member disposed so as to pass longitudinally through the interior of the fixed rail. Accordingly, the transmission member of the drive device and the slider for retaining the electric wire, which slides within the fixed rail, can be arranged in proximity to each other within the fixed rail while avoiding interference therebetween, thus enabling simplification and a reduction in the size of a rail structure.

The skin material includes linear locking members at end portions of the skin material, and the linear locking members are attached at positions that are not visible from a design surface side of the base material. Since the linear locking members are provided at the end portions of the skin material, the skin material is linearly pulled, so that slack wrinkles of the skin material can be suppressed when the base material is covered with the skin material. In addition, since the linear locking member is attached at a position that is not visible from the design surface side, the skin material can be fixed without using an adhesive agent.

The interlocking mechanism includes an attaching member, a first rotational member connected to the second movable part, a second rotational member connected to the lock member, and a swingable member provided swingably on the second rotational member. The engagement of the swingable member and the first rotational member causes the first rotational member and the second rotational member to rotate together, whereby the lock member moves from a lock position to an unlock position. The swingable member disengaging from the first rotational member permits the first rotational member and the second rotational member to rotate independently, whereby the lock member moves from the unlock position to the lock position.

The control unit (50) has a vehicle state detection unit (51), a seat state assessment unit (52), a roof airbag deployment part (53), and a cushion airbag deployment part (54). When a vehicle collision is detected and it is assessed that a seat back (11) is tilted rearward beyond a prescribed angle, the control unit (50) operates a first inflator via the roof airbag deployment part (53) after or at the same time as operating a second inflator via the cushion airbag deployment part (54).

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a vehicular seat control device that suppresses unintended driving operations during travel in an automatic driving mode, and can ensure seating space for a passenger sitting in a rear seat. This vehicular seat device (1) is installed in a vehicle (V) having an automatic driving mode, and comprises a FR seat (S1) that can be displaced to the rear, a RR seat (S2) that is positioned to the rear of the FR seat (S1) and can be displaced so as to move away from the FR seat (S1), and an ECU (30) for controlling the FR seat (S1) and the RR seat (S2). In the automatic driving mode the ECU (30) acquires a passenger detection signal, which is output by an imaging camera (20) that detects a passenger sitting in the RR seat (S2), and carries out a control on the basis of the passenger detection signal such that the FR seat (S1) and the RR seat (S2) are displaced.
