Abstract:
1. A door hinge structure for passenger airbags, comprising: an airbag module installed inside a crash pad at a location spaced apart from the crash pad; and an airbag door having a hinge unit provided on an inner surface of the crash pad at a location facing the airbag module; wherein the airbag door is provided with a reinforcing bracket, the reinforcing bracket being embedded in the airbag door at an area around the hinge unit, on which a stress is concentrated when an airbag cushion deploys from the airbag module, thus increasing a strength of the airbag door; wherein the reinforcing bracket includes: wherein the side connection parts are exposed outside of the hinge part in a direction towards the airbag module in a way such that the stress generated when the airbag cushion deploys directly acts on the side connection parts; and wherein the side connection parts protrude more towards the airbag module than the at least one center connection part from the hinge part such that, when the airbag cushion deploys, the stress can act on the side connection parts before the stress acts on the at least one center connection part.
