Abstract
Recently, researches about automobile seat having function to support the comfort to driver and passenger during the driving are conducted in various fields including automobile seat having massage function. The effect of massage depends on the pattern of massage such as time, magnitude, and shape. In this paper, linear motor actuator, which is used as driving method in the automobile massage seat, and electromagnetic analysis method, which is used to improve the magnetic efficiency in the design of autuator, is proposed. Electromagnetic analysis using finite element method is conducted in the design of linear motor actuator. Input voltage shape for massage pattern is calculated by simulation using mathematical model of actuator. Performance test for massage pattern generation is conducted with automobile massage seat having developed actuator and controller. It is verified that developed actuator system is applicable in the automobile massage seat.
