Patent number: 12246634Abstract: Provided is an automatic pop-up device for a vehicle legrest having the following effects. A seatback reclining mechanism, a tilting mechanism, and a legrest deployment mechanism are formed as a simple integrated mechanism configured to adjust a relaxation position of a passenger, and the integrated mechanism allows the legrest to be automatically deployed when a reclining operation of a seatback and a tilting operation of a seat cushion are performed together, thereby reducing the number of components, costs, and weight. Additionally, provided is a single switch configured to adjust the relaxation position of the passenger, thereby improving the convenience of a switch operation of adjusting the relaxation position of the passenger.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2022Date of Patent: March 11, 2025Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia CorporationInventors: Min Seok Kim, Sang Do Park, Tae Jun Kwon, Du Go Jung, Chan Ho Jung, Hyun Kyu Moon

Patent number: 10926670Abstract: A vehicle and a method controlling the same are provided to detect a seat jamming or a short-circuit of a seat control system. The vehicle includes a motor that rotates forward or backward to fold a seatback of a seat toward a seat cushion or unfold the seatback from the seat cushion. A current sensor sense an output current of the motor and a controller determine a seat jamming or a short-circuit of an output of the motor based on a magnitude of the output current sensed for a predetermined period of time during forward or backward rotation of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2018Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation, Das Co., Ltd.Inventors: Sang-Soo Lee, Hyeong Jun Kim, Incheol Bae, Deok Soo Lim, Younggwan Kwon, Hosuk Jung, Sanghyun Lee, YoungBok Sung, Sang Ho Kim, Tae Jun Kwon, Yohan Kim, Doori Kim, Duck Yeol Kim, Jae Hyun Kim, Sang Young Park
