CHILD SAFETY SEAT WITH ROTATING MECHANISM

According to a child safety seat with the rotating mechanism provided by the present invention, the seat body is driven to rotate 360 degrees through the toothed ring and the screw rod. The screw rod is more labor-saving and has a simpler structure. The turntable is fixed relative to the seat body. The locking member is arranged at a bottom of the seat body, and the positioning slot is arranged on the toothed ring, to fix the turntable and the toothed ring. By the arrangement of the plurality of positioning slots on the toothed ring and the arrangement of an unlocking switch configured to unlock the locking member and the positioning slots, the seat body can be manually rotated through the turntable, which is faster. By the arrangement of the sensor to sense whether the seat body is locked, the safety of use is improved.

SEAT CONTROL APPARATUS AND METHOD

A seat control apparatus includes a first driving part, a second driving part and a controller. The apparatus is configured to receive a user input on a walk-in mode through an input part, and based on the received user input, the apparatus controls a slide location of a seat to a walk-in location area corresponding to the walk-in mode by using the first driving part, and controls a reclining angle of the seat to a walk-in angle area corresponding to the walk-in mode by using the second driving part. In particular, when the user input is received again through the input part, the apparatus restores the reclining angle of the seat from the walk-in angle area to an un-walk-in angle area by using the second driving part.

Automated vehicle seats

Systems, methods, tangible non-transitory computer-readable media, and devices associated with the operation of a vehicle are provided. For example a vehicle computing system can receive occupancy data that includes information associated with occupancy of a vehicle that includes seats. One or more states of the vehicle can be determined. The states of the vehicle can include a disposition of any object that is within the vehicle. Further, a configuration of the seats in the vehicle can be determined based on the occupancy data and the states of the vehicle. The configuration can include a disposition of the seats inside the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one of the seats can be adjusted based on the configuration that was determined.

METHOD FOR DYNAMIC ADAPTATION OF LATERAL SUPPORT TO VEHICLE STATES IN MOTOR VEHICLE SEATS WITH A SEAT SURFACE AND WITH A BACKREST AND CORRESPONDING SEAT

A method for adjusting a motor vehicle seat includes receiving pressure signals from pressure sensors disposed in a grid network on outside surfaces of edge bladders of the seat. The method further includes raising or lowering a fluid pressure within the edge bladders using the pressure signals, including lowering of the bladder pressure on the door side on recognizing an entry or exit situation only if a load-related pressure rise in bladders on the door side has occurred.

A moving body control device controls a moving body that moves by a rotation of a motor. The moving body control device includes: a pinching detecting unit that detects pinching of an object based on a change in a physical quantity indicating a rotation state of the motor. The pinching detecting unit is configured to: determine that the pinching has occurred in a case in which a first difference of the physical quantity in a first period is equal to or greater than a first threshold value and a tendency of a change in the physical quantity in the first period is a monotonous increase or a monotonous decrease; and lower a value of the first threshold value in a case in which the tendency of the monotonous increase or the monotonous decrease of the physical quantity continues for a period longer than the first period.

Vehicle seat configured to improve access

The present invention includes a vehicle seat having a seat portion and a seatback. The vehicle seat further includes a plurality of air bladders disposed in the seat portion and a plurality of air bladders disposed in the seatback. The air bladders are configurable between fully inflated condition, fully deflated condition, and plurality of semi-inflated conditions. A controller is configured to control air bladder inflation, wherein the air bladders deflate to the fully deflated condition in response to an access signal received by the controller. The controller is further configured to control the seat position with regards to vertical and horizontal positions to provide greater access to the vehicle interior when entering or exiting the vehicle.
