Abstract

A seat control device for a vehicle seat of a vehicle is disclosed. The seat control device comprises a first control element which controls an electric adjustment motor for electrically adjusting the vehicle seat and/or an electric heating device for electrically heating the vehicle seat, a fluid valve which controls a fluid flow for the pneumatic adjustment of the vehicle seat, a second control element which controls an operating state of the fluid valve, and a fluid pump which is fluidically connected to the fluid valve, wherein the first control element, the second control element, the fluid valve and the fluid pump are arranged on a common circuit board.

Claims (25)

1. A seat control device for a vehicle seat of a vehicle, comprising:

a first control element which controls at least one of an electric adjustment motor configured to electrically adjust the vehicle seat and an electric heating device configured to electrically heat the vehicle seat,

a fluid valve which controls a fluid flow in the pneumatic adjustment of the vehicle seat,

a second control element which controls an operating state of the fluid valve, and

a fluid pump which is fluidically connected to the fluid valve, wherein the first control element, the second control element, the fluid valve and the fluid pump are arranged on a common circuit board.

2. The seat control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat control device further comprises a third control element which controls an operating state of the fluid pump and, together with the first control element, the second control element, the fluid valve and the fluid pump, is arranged on the common circuit board.

3. The seat control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat control device further comprises a pneumatic connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is fluidically connected to the fluid valve and is configured to connect a fluid bladder to the fluid valve.

4. The seat control device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the seat control device further comprises an electrical connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is electrically connected to the first control element and the second control element, and is configured to be connected to an operating module of the vehicle.

5. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 1 .

6. The seat control device as claimed in claim 4 wherein the electrical connection section is electrically connected to the third control element.

7. The seat control device as claimed in claim 2 wherein the seat control device further comprises a pneumatic connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is fluidically connected to the fluid valve and is configured to connect a fluid bladder to the fluid valve, and

wherein the seat control device further comprises an electrical connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is electrically connected to the first control element, the second control element and the third control element, and is configured to be connected to an operating module of the vehicle.

8. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 7 .

9. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 2 .

10. The seat control device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the seat control device further comprises a pneumatic connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is fluidically connected to the fluid valve and is configured to connect a fluid bladder to the fluid valve.

11. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 10 .

12. The seat control device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the seat control device further comprises an electrical connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is electrically connected to the first control element and the second control element, and is configured to be connected to an operating module of the vehicle.

13. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 12 .

14. The seat control device as claimed in claim 12 wherein the electrical connection section is electrically connected to the third control element.

15. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 14 .

16. The seat control device as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the seat control device further comprises an electrical connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is electrically connected to the first control element and the second control element, and is configured to be connected to an operating module of the vehicle.

17. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 16 .

18. The seat control device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the seat control device further comprises an electrical connection section which is arranged on the common circuit board, is electrically connected to the first control element and the second control element, and is configured to be connected to an operating module of the vehicle.

19. The vehicle seat having the seat control device as claimed in claim 18 .

20. The seat control device as claimed in claim 19 wherein the electrical connection section is electrically connected to the third control element.
