Abstract
A device for adjusting a seat of a vehicle is capable of implementing functions including adjusting a position of the seat back and forth, a height of the seat up and down, and tilting or the like by using a plurality of actuators having pistons. The functions of adjusting the position of the seat back and forth, the height of the seat up and down, and tilting or the like are carried out by providing connections between a floor panel and a seat cushion frame through a plurality of actuators and a single link, and selectively moving a piston of each actuator back and forth.
Claims8
A device for adjusting a seat of a vehicle, comprising:
- a support link mounted with a first hinge on a floor panel;
- a first actuator connected between the support link and a front lower surface of a seat cushion frame, the first actuator including a first cylinder body, a first piston built in the first cylinder body to be movable back and forth, and a first motor mounted at the first cylinder body to provide a forward and backward driving force to the first piston;
- a second actuator connected between the floor panel and the first actuator;
- a third actuator connected between a rear lower surface of the seat cushion frame and the floor panel;
- and
- a controller selectively controlling driving of at least one of the first to third actuators in order to carry out at least one of a front and rear position adjustment, an up-and-down height adjustment and tilting of the seat,
- wherein the second actuator includes a second cylinder body, a second piston built in the second cylinder body to be movable back and forth, and a second motor mounted at the second cylinder body to provide a forward and backward driving force to the second piston, and
- wherein a lower portion of the second cylinder body is fastened with a second hinge to the floor panel, and the second piston is fastened with a third hinge to the first cylinder body of the first actuator.
