Abstract
A motor vehicle seat has a headrest which is supported by a backrest. At a front side of the headrest, which faces toward the seat occupant, the air nozzle opens out of an air supply device for supplying the head, shoulder, and neck region of the seat occupant with an air flow. The air nozzle is provided with guide elements for directing the emerging airflow. Each component of the air nozzle is arranged so as to be recessed with respect to the front side of the headrest by a comfort dimension.
Description
- This invention relates to a motor vehicle seat having an air nozzle integrated into its headrest.
- German document DE 101 63 051 B4 discloses a vehicle seat of this type having a backrest that supports a headrest into which is integrated an air supply device for supplying the head, shoulder and neck region of the seat occupant with a preferably warm airflow. Here, the air supply device comprises an air nozzle which opens out at the front of the headrest that faces toward the seat occupant. The warm airflow emerges via the air nozzle from the air supply device and flows in the direction of the seat occupant. Here, the air nozzle comprises horizontally-running guide elements, that is to say guide elements which run in the vehicle transverse direction, at the front side of the headrest, by means of which guide elements the airflow emerging from the air supply device can be individually set.
- It is an object of the present invention to design the air nozzle of the air supply device, and integrate it within the headrest of the vehicle seat, in such a way as to provide an improved level of comfort for the seat occupant.
- This object is achieved according to the invention by way of a motor vehicle seat having the features claimed. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are further claimed.
- In the motor vehicle seat according to the invention, the air nozzle is arranged so as to be recessed with respect to the front side of the headrest by a so-called comfort dimension. The air nozzle accordingly does not open out approximately flat in a plane formed by the front side of the headrest, but is rather arranged so as to be set back by this comfort dimension. In other words, the air nozzle is arranged within a depression of the headrest in order to thereby improve the seating comfort for the seat occupant. If, for example, the seat occupant leans back with his head against the preferably upholstered front side of the headrest, then his positive impression of comfort is not adversely affected by the air nozzle arranged on the front side of the headrest. Here, the air nozzle is arranged such that the comfort spacing, which is preferably in the range from 5 mm to 30 mm, remains between the front side of the headrest and the furthest-forward-projecting component of the air nozzle.
- As one component of the air nozzle, an encircling nozzle border is preferably arranged so as to be recessed with respect to the front side of the headrest. This nozzle border delimits the air outlet opening of the air nozzle at the peripheral side and forms the transition region to the adjoining upholstery of the front side of the headrest.
- As further components of the air nozzle, horizontally and/or vertically arranged air guide elements, which are in particular surrounded by the encircling nozzle border, are preferably also arranged so as to be recessed with respect to the front side of the headrest. This ensures that no component which could adversely affect the seating comfort of the seat occupant is arranged even in the central region of the air nozzle. Here, the comfort dimension between the front side of the headrest and the foremost point of the air guide elements is maintained regardless of the selected setting of the air guide elements.
- Further advantages, features and details of the invention can be gathered from the following description of a preferred exemplary embodiment and on the basis of the drawings.
-
FIGS. 1 a and 1 b show a schematic perspective front view and a schematic side view of the motor vehicle seat with the integrated air supply device, with an air nozzle that opens out in the region of the front side of the headrest; -
FIG. 2 shows a schematic detail view of the headrest of the motor vehicle seat ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 shows a schematic section illustration through the headrest along the line III-III inFIG. 2 . -
FIGS. 1 a and 1 b illustrate a schematic perspective front view and a schematic side view of thebackrest 10 of a motor vehicle seat. In thebackrest 10 shown inFIG. 1 a, it is possible to see substantially a rear-side lining part 12, aheadrest 14, and aback cushion 15. The motor vehicle seat is embodied here as an integral seat, with theheadrest 14 being arranged in front of thebackrest 10 so as to overlap the latter. Here, theheadrest 14 can be adjusted in height relative to thebackrest 10 by guide means (not shown). Arranged within thebackrest 10 is anair supply device 16 which comprises, as its main components, a schematically indicatedfan 18 at the lower end of theair supply device 16, and anair duct 20 arranged above thefan 18. Provided within theair duct 20, and at a distance above and at the pressure side of thefan 18, is a heating element 22 (indicated by dashed lines inFIG. 1 a), by means of which the airflow generated by thefan 18 can be heated. At the upper end, the vertically-runningduct 20 is angled forward in an L-shape, and ends at anair nozzle 24, which will be explained in more detail below, at thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14. Via theair nozzle 24, the preferably warm airflow generated by theair supply device 16 emerges in the direction of the head, shoulder and neck region of the seat occupant. It is hereby possible, for example when traveling in an open-top motor vehicle, to compensate the naturally occurring backflow or turbulence, which is disturbing to the seat occupant, of the air surrounding said vehicle. In order to be able—depending on the size and seating position of the seat occupant—to direct the warm airflow emerging from theair nozzle 24, theair nozzle 24 comprisesguide elements 32 which will be explained in more detail below. - Furthermore, in
FIG. 1 b, in a side view, the profile of theback cushion 15 in the centralsymmetrical region 30 of thebackrest 10 is indicated by dashed lines. It can also be seen here that theair supply device 16 or itsair duct 20 and itsfan 18 are arranged entirely within thebackrest 10, and only theair nozzle 24 can be seen from the outside. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic perspective view of a detail of theheadrest 14 of thebackrest 10 as shown inFIGS. 1 a and 1 b. At thefront side 26, which faces toward the seat occupant, theair nozzle 24 of theair supply device 16 opens out in a lower region of theheadrest 14. Here, thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 is provided with upholstery and is lined with anupholstered cover 28. - When viewed together with
FIG. 3 , which shows a schematic section view through theheadrest 14 along the line III-III inFIG. 2 , it is possible to see the recessed arrangement of theair nozzle 24 with respect to thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14. Here, theair nozzle 24 is arranged so as to be set back from thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 by a so-called comfort dimension K which is preferably between 5 mm and 30 mm. Here, theair duct 20 ends in the region of anencircling nozzle border 34 which is embodied here as an oval opening which is elongate in the vehicle transverse direction. Some other geometric design of theencircling nozzle border 34 would of course also be conceivable. In the exemplary embodiment shown, theencircling nozzle border 34 is arranged with itsend side 36, which faces toward the seat occupant, so as to be recessed with respect to thefront side 26 of the headrest by the comfort dimension K. A plurality of vertically-runningguide elements 32 are mounted within thenozzle border 34 or theair duct 20 so as to be pivotable about a respective pivot axis SV. By means of theseguide elements 32, the airflow emerging from theair supply device 16 via theair nozzle 24 can be individually directed. In the present exemplary embodiment, fivevertical guide elements 32 are provided, which guide elements are pivotably coupled to one another for example by means of a connectingbar 40 or similar device.FIG. 3 illustrates the representatively illustratedguide element 32 in a pivoting position perpendicular to the plane E spanned by theencircling nozzle border 34, that is to say in a position in which the airflow emerging from theair supply device 16 flows straight through theguide elements 32 without deflection. In the illustrated pivoting position, perpendicular to the plane E, of theguide element 32, the foremost end of the latter is of course at the shortest distance from thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14. The spacing between thefront end 40 and thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 would accordingly be greater in an inclined pivoting position of theguide element 32. But even in the case of the shortest possible spacing between thefront end 40 of theguide element 32, the latter is dimensioned and arranged in such a way that it—as part of theair nozzle 24—is arranged so as to be recessed with respect to thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 at least by the comfort dimension K. In the present exemplary embodiment, thefront end 40 of eachguide element 32 additionally comes to rest in any case, regardless of its pivoting position, at the level of or else behind the plane E spanned by theencircling nozzle border 34 of theair nozzle 24. In other words, every component of theair nozzle 24—that is to say both theencircling nozzle border 34 and also each of theguide elements 32—is arranged so as to be set back from thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 by the comfort dimension K. - In the opening-out region at the front side of the
nozzle border 34, the air outflow opening widens in cross section. The corresponding configuration of the upholstery of thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 or of theupholstered cover 28 is made clear bycorresponding lines 42. - In a further embodiment of the invention, in addition to the
guide elements 32 running in the vehicle vertical direction or vertically-runningguide elements 32, at least onefurther guide element 44 is provided which extends at least approximately horizontally or in the vehicle transverse direction. Here, thehorizontal guide element 44 is mounted within theencircling nozzle border 34 so as to be pivotable about a pivot axis SH. The airflow emerging from the air supply device can be individually adjusted in height by means of said at least oneguide element 44. Theguide element 44 is also correspondingly designed and mounted within thenozzle border 34 such that itsfront end 46 comes to rest in each case so as to be set back from thefront side 26 of theheadrest 14 at least by the comfort dimension K regardless of the set pivoting position. Thefront end 46 of thehorizontal guide element 44 preferably comes to rest—as illustrated in FIG. 3—at the level of or behind the plane E spanned by theencircling nozzle border 34.
