This air pump device is provided with: an electric pump unit including a pump mechanism and a motor; a case; and a vibration-proof member. The pump mechanism and the motor are arranged side by side in the axial direction of the motor. The pump mechanism has an inlet and an outlet at an end in the axial direction on the opposite side of the motor. The case has a first wall and a second wall which are located on opposite sides in the axial direction of the motor and which face the electric pump unit. The vibration-proof member is provided with: a first axial vibration-proof unit interposed between the electric pump unit and the first wall; and a second axial vibration-proof unit interposed between the electric pump unit and the second wall. The first axial vibration-proof unit covers the inlet.

Air pump device and seat device

This vehicle seat control device is provided with a storage unit, a position detection unit, a control unit, and an operation order setting unit. The space on a seat occupied by a passenger sitting in the seat is a sitting passenger-occupied space, and during the execution of an automatic operation, the operation order setting unit is configured to set the operation order such that position adjustments of seat elements operated in the direction of advancing into the sitting passenger-occupied space are started at the same time as, or are started after, the starting of the position adjustments of the seat elements operated in the direction moving away from the sitting passenger-occupied space.

Vehicle seat control device

A vehicle seat adjustment device includes a first adjustment mechanism, a second adjustment mechanism, and a controller. The first adjustment mechanism is moved in a first direction upon driving of a first motor to adjust a position of a vehicle seat. The second adjustment mechanism is moved in both the first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction upon driving of a second motor to adjust the position of the vehicle seat. The controller controls and drives the first motor and the second motor. A speed at which the second adjustment mechanism is moved in the first direction is lower than or equal to a speed at which the first adjustment mechanism is moved in the first direction. When the second motor needs to be driven, the controller drives the second motor while driving the first motor.

Vehicular seat adjustment device, position adjustment control device, and vehicular seat adjustment method

A seat device includes a holding member that holds an air tube and is located below a seat cushion. The holding member includes a base wall that defines a holding surface for the air tube, a locking portion that locks air tubes routed along the holding surface on the base wall, and a side wall extending in a routing direction of each of the air tubes.

Holding member for seat air tube

A vehicle seat device includes a fixed base, a movable base, a paddle, and an air pack. When a side airbag arranged in the seat is deployed, the expanding side airbag presses and pivots the movable base and allows for a deployment of the side airbag. The paddle is configured to change a seat support form when pressed and pivoted by the air pack. The movable base pivots about a first pivot axis relative to the fixed base. The paddle pivots about a second pivot axis relative to the movable base. The first pivot axis and the second pivot axis are arranged at different locations.

Vehicle seat device

An inlet-outlet valve device includes a main body configured in such a manner that an air tube having an air flow passage is coupled to the main body and a first securing portion and a second securing portion secured to a retaining member located inside a seat. The first securing portion is secured to a first position on the retaining member with a first securing portion fastening member. The second securing portion is secured to a second position on the retaining member via a second securing portion fastening member. The second securing portion includes an insertion hole through which the second securing portion fastening member is inserted. The insertion hole is an elongated hole extending in a direction that connects the first securing portion and the second securing portion to each other.

Intake/exhaust valve device and vehicular seat device

A pneumatic pressure control method for a vehicle seat includes: repeatedly detecting an internal pressure of a bladder provided inside the vehicle seat at intervals; correcting the internal pressure of the bladder based on a differential pressure between a detection value and a target value; and lengthening a detection interval to detect the internal pressure depending on a time elapsing from starting of the vehicle.

Pneumatic pressure control method for vehicle seat and pneumatic pressure control device for vehicle seat

An air pressure control device of a vehicle seat includes: a bulging shape forming unit configured to form a bulging shape on a seat surface by expanding air bags configured to be provided inside a seat; a bulging shape moving unit configured to move a position of the bulging shape formed on the seat surface by each corresponding air bag by sequentially expanding and contracting a plurality of air bags aligned in a direction along the seat surface in an arrangement direction of the air bags; and a pumping capacity adjusting unit configured to increase a pumping capacity of an air pump that pumps air into each air bag as a protrusion amount of the corresponding bulging shape increases when a formation position of the bulging shape is moved.

In a vehicular seat, a side airbag module and a side support bladder are arranged inside a shell frame that constitutes a skeleton of a seat back. A base bracket of a support body is disposed between the side support bladder and the side airbag module. This base bracket is supported by the shell frame. The base bracket supports the side support bladder from outside in a seat width direction at the time of inflation of the side support bladder, and is rotated inward in the seat width direction around a hinge together with the side support bladder due to an inflation pressure of a side airbag at the time of inflation and deployment of the side airbag.

Vehicular seat

Disclosed is a vehicle seat that is capable of changing a property of S springs with a simple configuration and therefore improves a seating property by changing the property of the S spring in response to a physique of a passenger. In regard to a vehicle seatin which S springsare stretched in a seat cushion frame that supports a seat cushion on which the passenger sits, a restriction memberthat is detachably attached to each of the S springsand partially restricts an extensional deformation of the S springsis provided. The restriction memberincludes a pair of wire hook portionsandthat is hooked on a horizontal portionand a back-end horizontal portionof the S spring, and a long wire portionthat connects the pair of wire hook portionsand. When the pair of wire hook portionsandof the restriction memberis hooked, extensional rigidity of the S springmay be raised and therefore bending rigidity of the S springmay be changed by changing the hooking position of the pair of wire hook portionsandof the restriction member
