Truck driver has the most physical contact with are Semi Truck Luxury Air Suspension Seats. A good driver seat can even make up for some shortcomings in chassis debugging. However, everyone's body shape and sitting posture are not the same, and the driver seat engineers have worked hard on this - how to seize some common parts among these differences and make a driver suitable for the public is no small task. Today we Let's discuss what functions of driving seats can make the driver's ride comfortable.
■ Headrest
Let's start with the headrest. Most seat head restraints extend forward relative to the backrest. This design is entirely due to crash regulations. The headrest is divided into two types: adjustable headrest and integrated backrest headrest. A good fit between the headrest and the head is surface contact rather than point contact or line contact. Of course, everyone's acceptance is different.
■ backrest
Another factor that determines riding comfort is the backrest design. An excellent backrest needs to fit perfectly from the waist to the butterfly valley of the shoulder. When considering the seat, you can first find the most prominent part of the seat back - the height of this part. It directly determines the contact position between the backrest and the back. Generally, if the height of the most protruding part can fit the waist and eyes of the human body exactly, then the first step of comfort will be achieved. The second part is whether the curves from the highest point to the upper and lower sides are adducted quickly, which means the feeling of fit from the upper and lower ends of the waist - too fast adduction will result in no contact below the waist, and will also cause the fit Feeling inadequate.
There is also the design and processing of the central axis. A design that fits the central axis of the human body will be more comfortable.
In addition to the processing of the central axis, the processing of horizontal curves is also related to the wrapping feeling of the seat. Although the design of the horizontal curves of each seat is not consistent, the wrapping feeling of the side wings is a common focus for everyone. The quality of the side wings is first reflected in the hardness. In order to get better wrapping, some seats are designed with very narrow side wings and then use soft sponge to make up for it. In this way, there is no problem in static riding, but once there is lateral acceleration, the side wings will It is completely unable to support the driver. For thinner drivers, when purchasing a seat, you need to pay attention to if the width of the side wings is too wide. Even if the side wings are hard enough, the body movement will still be obvious in corners, which is not beneficial to comfort.
■ cushion
In terms of seat cushions, the difference in curves is not very obvious. The only thing related to the curve is the departure point and support of the legs. More comfort comes from the surface tension of the leather, the softness and hardness of the sponge, and other hardware. good or bad.
Let's talk about leg support first. If the seat lacks leg support, you won't feel much discomfort when you first sit down. However, when driving long distances, especially when you need to fix the throttle angle for a long time on the highway, the soreness in your thighs will be particularly obvious. On the contrary, if it is over-supported, it will Limiting leg movement and sitting in an overly restrictive posture will quickly aggravate your fatigue. The leg supports of more comfortable seats are generally about a punch's distance from the knee joint, which can not only provide sufficient support but also allow the driver to maintain the freedom of movement of the legs within a certain range.
As for the impact of softness, hardness and surface tension on comfort, you can only feel it after riding on it. My suggestion is not to choose the model with the softest seat cushions that you think. The lack of support caused by too soft cushions will quickly cause fatigue during long distances. On the contrary, if the seat is too hard, the contact area will be very narrow, and the force will be too concentrated and the comfort will not be good. Therefore, you can choose a medium-to-hard seat if you think it fits well enough, so that it can not only adapt to short distances, but also ensure long-distance comfort.
At present, the functions of truck driver seats have become more and more abundant. Some models of freightliner truck seats can have more than 100 adjustable items. Basically, the curves, softness and hardness can be changed at will to suit the needs of different drivers. Choosing a good air suspension truck seats requires you to experience it yourself.
