5 Test Methods
5.1 Frontal collision test
b) 95% male real person simulates the process of entering and leaving the car seat;
collecting a total of 5-position pressure distribution, such as 90°, 45°, 0°, 45°, 90°
(angles are separately into the seat side; intersection angle between 95% male
real person longitudinal center plane and the vehicle driving direction);
c) Use the robot to simulate the process of entering and leaving the seat in the same
position; the collected pressure distribution is similar to the real pressure
distribution; record the coordinates of the five positions; form an entry and exit
trajectory;
d) Remove the pressure distribution pad and start the test.
Method II: according to the trajectory of simulating the human body entering and
leaving the seat; compile the running program of the robot:
a) Simulate the human body and the seat to form an angle of 30° in longitudinal
direction, so that the horizontally press the side of the seat to enter into the seat;
the depression amount between seat side and backrest side shall be
20mm~30mm.
b) When the Point-H of simulated human body moves to above 20mm from the
edge of the seat, the simulated human body entirely rotates in the vertical
direction (the vertical line passing the Point-H serving as the rotating shaft);
gradually approaches the longitudinal center plane of the seat; during this
process, the fake hip of the simulated human body shall be gradually adjusted
to an angle of 15°~20° with the ground; simulate that the human backrest is
always in contact with the side of the backrest, and there are obvious indentation.
Finally moves to the position that the distance between the Point-H and
longitudinal center plane of seat about 15mm; simulate that the human body
longitudinal center plan forms an angle of 15° with the seat longitudinal center
plane.
c) Continue to rotate the simulated human body till it coincides with the longitudinal
center plane of the seat. The Point-H is basically coincident with the design
position; simulate that the human body’s back part is in normal contact with the
backrest of the seat, and there is obvious compression.
d) At this time, simulate the human body completely enters the seat; straighten,
simulate the human body to press till the load is 575N.
e) Simulate the human body to start moving out of the seat. Simulate the entire
human body to rotate in the vertical direction (the vertical line passing the Point-
H serving as the rotation axis); move it as a whole to the outside (move towards
the left/right front of the Point-H); rotate about 15°, at this time, Point-H moves
horizontally and longitudinally by 10mm~15mm. During this process, simulate
the human back to contact with the seat cushion and backrest; the indentation is
5.8 Seat forward tilting and height adjustment function test
Apply 60kg load downward at the Point-H of the seat cushion (use the fake hip module
specified in GB/T 29120, the weight of which is 10kg; apply 5kg of load on each side
of the thigh; the remaining 40kg is evenly loaded at the Point-H of fake hip); at the
position of 20mm backward from the end of the height adjustment handle, measure
the upward and downward operating force of the height adjustment handle in the
vertical direction with a dynamometer or the same force value counting device; for
handwheel height adjustment and cushion forward tilting adjustment mechanisms,
under the same loading condition, use a torque wrench or an equivalent torque
measuring device to measure the handwheel torque.
5.9 Seat forward tilting and height adjustment fatigue test
Fix the seat or the seat frame with the counterweight on the test platform according to
the vehicle installation position; apply 60kg of additional load on the Point-H (use the
fake hip module specified in GB/T 29120, weighing 10kg, load 5kg on each side of the
thigh; the remaining 40kg is evenly loaded at the fake hip Point-H). Test cycle:
a) Forward tilting and height adjustment are from bottom to the top, then return to
the bottom, which is one cycle. Test shall be carried out at various temperature;
the test interval shall be 4h.
b) 3000 times at 23°C;
1000 times at 60°C;
1000 times at -20°C.
5.10 Backrest frame assembly clearance test
Fix the front seat frame on the test bench and adjust to the design position. Apply a
test force to the center of the upper endo of the beam on the backrest (for pipe structure,
it is center of upper horizontal pipe), the direction is the longitudinal from back and
forth, size is of 147N; the sum of the measured values of the forward and rearward
loading is the clearance, see Figure 3.

inspection.
6.2.2.3 Judgment of type inspection results
The seats for the type inspection shall be taken from the same batch of the seat
assembly that have passed the exit-factory inspection. For the inspection items, if one
of the inspection items (from Item 8 to Item 18) with safety requirements does not be
qualified, then such batch of projects shall be judged unqualified; no re-inspection is
allowed. If any one of the remaining inspections items are unqualified, it is allowed to
double the number of unqualified samples for re-inspection of the unqualified items; if
there is still one unqualified item in the reinspection, then such batch of products shall
be judged unqualified.
7 Marking, Package, Transportation and Storage
7.1 Each part shall be attached with part number and manufacture’s logo.
7.2 The seat assembly shall be stored in the packing box or dedicated working station
apparatus.
7.3 The outside of the packing box shall indicate:
a) Product name, product model, standard code and exit-factory date;
b) Manufacturer’s name, registered trademark, factory address, etc.;
c) Quantity, quality and dimension of the packing;
d) Receipt and delivery sign, packaging and transportation graphic marks, etc.
7.4 The marks on the outside of the dedicated working station apparatus shall meet
the following basic requirements:
a) Product name, product model, etc.;
b) Size of the working station apparatus (L×W×H).
7.5 The products shall be stored in a ventilated and dry warehouse, and shall not be
