    摘要: A padding component for intelligent distribution of airflow in a vehicle seat, optimizing the sensation of airflow for the occupant. This includes a top layer, a bottom layer, and a fibrous layer interposed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The fibrous layer defines airflow channels having a first filament density and non-channel regions having a second filament density. Characteristically, the second filament density is greater than the first filament density such that air preferentially flow through the airflow channels.

    摘要: A method of controlling a seat cooling cycle in a vehicle seat includes determining whether a vehicle cooling system is operating. If the vehicle cooling system is operating, then executing a seat cooling cycle such that portions of an occupant-facing surface of the vehicle seat are urged outwardly to create high contact zones between the occupant and the portions of the vehicle seat that have been urged outwardly, and such that areas of reduced occupant contact are defined between adjacent ones of the portions of the occupant-facing surface that are urged outwardly, wherein the areas of reduced occupant contact define low pressure zones that facilitate the flow of air between the vehicle seat and the occupant within the low pressure zones.

    摘要: A seat includes a seat bottom portion and a seat back portion that is supported relative to the seat bottom portion. A first temperature control structure is provided in a first region of the seat bottom portion or the seat back portion and adapted to provide a first heating, cooling, and/or ventilating effect therein. A second temperature control structure provided in a second region of the seat bottom portion or the seat back portion and adapted to provide a second heating, cooling, and/or ventilating effect therein. An input device is provided that generates an input signal. A controller is configured to operate the first temperature control structure and the second temperature control structure independently of one another in response to the input signal.

    摘要: A seating system includes a seat, individually selectable and controllable thermal units individually positioned at respective locations within the seat corresponding to anatomical locations of a person sitting in the seat, and a controller. The thermal units to generate heat when activated. The controller to individually activate a subset of the thermal units to deliver heat to the anatomical locations of the person sitting in the seat corresponding to the respective locations within the seat of the activated thermal units.

    摘要: A ventilated seat including a seatback; a seat ventilation system engaging the seatback and including a blower and a duct to direct airflow from the blower; a pair of vertically extending headrest support posts, with at least one of the headrest support posts being hollow, having a first end located within the seatback and operatively engaging the duct to receive the airflow from the blower, and a vent hole extending from the hollow interior to a front surface, the vent hole located in the vertically extending portion of the headrest support post and directing the airflow forward onto a neck or head of a seat occupant; and a headrest mounted on and supported by the pair of headrest support posts, with the headrest adjustable up and down relative to the seatback. The seat ventilation system may include arm, calf or face ventilation openings.
