摘要:
A seat heater includes first heat-generating elements 11-15 embedded in a seat so as to correspond to first sites of a seat occupant, second heat-generating elements 20, 21 embedded in the seat so as to correspond to second sites of the seat occupant, and a controller 3 for executing a fluctuation control in which a first set temperature of the first heat-generating elements 11-15 and a second set temperature of the second heat-generating elements 20, 21 are increased or decreased in each of a plurality of predetermined time periods. The controller 3 sets the first set temperature to be higher than the second set temperature in one of the time periods and sets the second set temperature to be higher than the first set temperature in another of the time periods.

A vehicle heating apparatus (100A) is a heating apparatus to be mounted on or built in a vehicle seat (11) at a position below a sitting portion (S) of the vehicle seat (11). The vehicle heating apparatus (100A) includes: a housing (10A) having an intake port (2), a blowing port (3), and an internal space (4) serving as a flow path of air from the intake port (2) to the blowing port (3); a fan (6) provided in the internal space (4) of the housing (10A); and a heater (7) provided in the internal space (4) of the housing (10A). In a usage state where the vehicle heating apparatus (100A) is mounted on or built in the vehicle seat (11), the blowing port (3) is located above the intake port (2) and opens downwardly with respect to a horizontal direction. Thereby, the amount of heating required for the heater is further reduced.

According to certain embodiments disclosed in the present application, a climate controlled seating assembly includes a thermal module. The thermal module comprises at least one inlet channel, at least one outlet channel and a thermoelectric device (e.g., Peltier circuit) positioned upstream of the outlet channel. In one embodiment, the seating assembly includes a sensor positioned within an interior of the thermal module and configured to detect the presence of a liquid, such as water, condensation or other fluids, on or near said sensor. In certain arrangements, the sensor is configured to detect the presence of a liquid by measuring an electrical resistance or capacitance across a portion of the sensor. A climate control system can include a separator gasket located within a housing of a fluid module and at least partially between the cold passage and the hot passage. In some embodiments, the separator gasket comprises one or more wicking materials. The separator gasket can be configured to transport liquids from the cold passage to the hot passage.
摘要:
A vehicle seat heater 10, which is to be fitted to a vehicle seat 50 and which includes a base sheet 12 and a heater wire 14 laid in the base sheet 12, has a reinforcing sheet 18 attached in a side portion 10b placed in a seat side portion 50c of the vehicle seat 50. Edges of the reinforcing sheet 18 have portions 18a extending in back-and-forth directions of the side portion 10b and opposing each other at least on a front side of the side portion 10b, where a laying area for the heater wire 14 is provided between the opposing portions 18a. Thus, disconnections of the heater wire 14 can be suppressed in the side portions 10b of the vehicle seat heater 10 placed in the seat side portions 50c of the vehicle seat 50.
摘要:
This invention relates to a heating system for vehicle seats comprising a heating device (2) having an electrically conductive wire (3), a fire-retardant foam (4) incorporating the electrically conductive wire (3) and a fire-retardant fabric (5) positioned around the fire-retardant foam (4). The heating system also comprises a thermo-regulating device (6) for adjusting the temperature of the electrically conductive wire (3), the thermo-regulating device (6) being electrically connectable to an electricity source and to the electrically conductive wire (3), in such a way as to allow the adjustment of the intensity of the current passing through the electrically conductive wire (3) and therefore the adjustment of the temperature of the electrically conductive wire (3).
摘要:
A classification system for determining the occupancy state of a seat of a vehicle. The classification system includes a first sensing electrode located in a back portion of the seat and a second sensing electrode located in a base portion of the seat. The system includes a measurement circuit configured to measure a first property associated with the first sensing electrode and a second property associated with the second electrode. A controller is configured to send an occupancy signal indicative of the occupancy state of the seat based on the measured properties associated with the first and second sensing electrodes. The controller may be configured to send the occupancy signal to a Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) system.
