  • Publication number: 20250121752
    Abstract: In a vehicle seat, a side frame of a seat back frame has a front wall that is formed so as to be bent inward continuously from a front edge of a plate-shaped portion and forms a curved region extending vertically from around the rotating shaft and reaching an upper frame, and a rear wall that is formed so as to be bent inward continuously from a rear edge of the plate-shaped portion and forms a curved region extending vertically from around the rotating shaft and reaching the upper frame, and an inner edge of the front wall has a projecting piece that spreads to the inside from a virtual outline corresponding to a shape of the upper frame and is superimposed on the front wall of the upper frame from the rear. This provides a vehicle seat that can contribute to improvement of the work efficiency when assembling a seat back frame.

  • Patent number: 11642937
    Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a position identifying unit, a route information acquiring unit, a control information determining unit, and a control unit. The position identifying unit is configured to identify an expected boarding position where an occupant is to get in a vehicle. The route information acquiring unit is configured to acquire route information of the occupant to the expected boarding position. The control information determining unit is configured to determine, on the basis of the route information, a set temperature, a control start timing, or both as control information to be used for pre-air conditioning control for a vehicle compartment space of the vehicle. The control unit is configured to perform at least the pre-air conditioning control on the basis of the control information.
