Smart surfaces are interior surfaces that combine decorative and functional properties. In the future, every surface in the car can be a smart surface, including door trims, instrument panels, steering wheels, sunroof modules, lighting systems, etc. These surfaces have now evolved from decorative functions to mechatronic user interfaces. Smart surface technology is now in the market introduction and growth stage, with huge development potential. How to make smart surface technology better requires the joint efforts of OEMs, solution designers, parts suppliers, material companies, etc. Now Aibang has Automobile intelligent surface WeChat group, Geely, BYD, Great Wall, Changan, Dongfeng, Yanfeng, Yilan Auto Parts, Ningbo Huade, Wenzhou Jincheng, Covestro, Kurz, SCHOTT and other companies have joined. Welcome upstream and downstream of the industry chain friends join the group to discuss and seek common progress.
With the continuous enrichment of smart cockpit scenarios, passengers spend more and more time in the cockpit, putting forward higher and higher requirements for riding experience and comfort experience. When the journey is no longer a short period of time, how to optimize and improve seat comfort? Sex has become an important issue at the moment, and smart car seats have emerged.
As a device that directly contacts the driver and passengers, seats play an important role in user experience and are also one of the factors that distinguish the level of automobile manufacturers. Today's high-end seats incorporate a wide range of applications for seat adjustment or seat movement, seat comfort (dynamic cushions, lumbar support, massage, heating, cooling and/or ventilation, seating assistance and personalized adjustment memory function), seat safety function, seat occupant perception (multiple built-in sensors can provide feedback information to the system).
Due to the additional functions, modern seat modules have become as complex as body control modules and face similar challenges in terms of power supply, communication, sensing, activation and control, and quiescent current. In order to minimize the space requirements, power consumption and quiescent current of the management seat control module, functional integration becomes one of the important design factors.
Therefore, smart car seats contain numerous motor drives and control units, and fabric selection and ergonomic design also need to be considered. The technical threshold is comparable to that of robots.
In order to strengthen industry chain exchanges, jointly promote industry development, and learn about the latest product trends, Abant has established an automotive smart seat industry chain exchange group for everyone. Everyone is welcome to join the group for exchanges and discussions.
