Seat load detection device
First Claim
1. A seat load detection apparatus comprising:
- a load detector configured to detect part of a load acting on a vehicle seat which is capable of changing the posture of a seatback from a first stage position as a most upright position of a seatable position to a forwardly inclined position which is a forwardly inclined position on which the passenger cannot be seated;
a load body determination unit configured to determine a load body acting on the vehicle seat on the basis of a detected load detected by the load detector;
a seat posture detector configured to detect only the forwardly inclined position of the seatback; and
a state determination unit configured to determine the state change of the vehicle seat on the basis of the variation of the detected load and, the state determination unit is configured to restrict the determination of the state change of the vehicle seat on the basis of an output from the seat posture detector, when the seatback is restored from the forwardly inclined position to the first stage position.

Abstract
A seat load detection apparatus includes: a load detector detecting part of a load acting on a vehicle seat which is capable of changing the posture of a seatback forward from the first stage position as a most upright position of a seatable position to the forwardly inclined position which is a forwardly inclined position on which the passenger cannot be seated; a load body determination unit determining a load body acting on the vehicle seat on the basis of a detected load detected by the load detector; a seat posture detector detecting the forwardly inclined position of the seatback; and a state determination unit determining the state change of the vehicle seat on the basis of the variation of the detected load and restrict the determination of the state change of the vehicle seat on the basis of an output from the seat posture detector.
