SEAT AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM, SEAT AIR CONDITIONER, AND CONNECTION SETTING METHOD
20210138941 · 2021-05-13 ·

A seat air conditioning system includes a seat air conditioner provided for each seat of a vehicle, and a portable terminal configured to control the seat air conditioner. The seat air conditioner controls rotation of a fan with intensity in response to a start signal when starting communication with the portable terminal. The seat air conditioner starts a connection setting process when receiving a response signal in response to the start signal. The portable terminal determines a digital signal by binarizing an intensity of sound detected by a microphone. When the digital signal is the start signal, the portable terminal transmits a response signal to start the connection setting process.

A seat assembly includes an external structure, at least one seating support surface, a valve, and at least one air distribution passageway. The external structure has a cavity therein. The at least one seating support surface is configured for contact with an occupant. The valve is disposed within the cavity and is in fluid communication with an external air supply. The at least one air distribution passageway is in fluid communication with the valve and is interposed between the valve and the at least one seating support surface. Air from the external air supply is directed to the seating support surface via the valve and the at least one passageway.

VEHICLE CABIN AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

A vehicle cabin air conditioning system has an individual air conditioner for conditioning air in a target space in a cabin. The individual air conditioner has a blower, a suction port, a heat generator, and a supply port. The heat generator concurrently generates cold heat and warm heat inside the housing. At least one of the cold air cooled with the cold heat and the warm air heated with the warm heat is supplied from the supply port to the target space. The vehicle cabin air conditioning system has a thermal load reducing unit and a supply flow path. The thermal load reducing unit adjusts the temperature of air sucked from the suction port in order to reduce the thermal load in the heat generator. The supply flow path guides the air controlled in temperature by the thermal load reducing unit to the suction port.

SEAT ASSEMBLY WITH VENTILATION SYSTEM UTILIZING VENTURI EFFECT TO MULTIPLY AIR FLOW
