Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle seat control apparatus and a control method thereof. The present invention is based on a structure in which a hall sensor is applied to a seat motor for providing an operation power of a power seat, and a seat caught situation is judged through a sensing operation of the hall sensor and a maximum current is supplied to the seat motor in the present invention. Therefore, the present invention has an advantage of solving the seat caught situation by improving the operation mode of the seat control apparatus to which the soft start mode is applied.
Claims10
An apparatus for controlling a vehicle seat comprising:
- an operation switch to move the seat;
- a seat motor coupled to the operation switch for providing operation power for a seat sliding;
- movement for the seat;
- and
- wherein, during the operation of the operation switch, when the seat does not slide despite power supplied to the seat motor, the seat motor is controlled as a non-operation mode, and when the operation switch operates again, the seat motor is controlled as a maximum operation power mode.
An apparatus for controlling seat for vehicle comprising:
- a seat motor providing operation power for seat sliding movement;
- a hall sensor sensing whether the seat slides or not;
- a control unit controlling the operation of the seat motor by selecting one operation mode according to the sensing signal out of the sensor;
- wherein the operation mode comprising a first operation mode of a soft start mode and a second operation mode driving the seat motor at a maximum current amount.
A method for controlling seat for vehicle comprising;
- operating an operation switch for seat movement;
- determining whether a sensing signal is output from a hall sensor connected with a seat motor when the operation of the operation switch is sensed;
- and controlling the seat motor to different operation modes comprising a soft start mode and a maximum operation power mode according to the sensing signals.
