As illustrated in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the height adjuster of a seat belt according to various embodiments of the present invention includes a rail bracket 10 configured to be fixedly mounted on a vehicle body so that the rail grooves 11 are formed to be continuously connected and the rail grooves 11 are vertically disposed, a slider 20 configured to be coupled with the rail bracket 10 so as to move along a length direction of the rail bracket 10 and have left and right surfaces provided with guide grooves 22 a so as to be fitted in edge portions of the rail bracket 10 which are provided with the rail grooves 11, and a locking mechanism 30 configured to be coupled with the slider 20 so as to elastically slidably move and restrict a movement of the slider 20 at the time of contacting the rail groove 11 and release the restriction of the movement of the slider 20 at the time of being separated from the rail groove 11.
According to various embodiments of the present invention, the rail bracket 10 has a structure in which the rail grooves 11 are formed to be vertically connected continuously, and therefore the slider 20 may continuously move downward at the time of an unlocking state of the locking mechanism 30 and the slider 20 may continuously move upward even at the time of a locking state of the locking mechanism 30, such that a vertical height of a seat belt 1 (e.g. seat belt 1 of FIG. 1) may be more stably controlled.
The slider 20 is coupled to a middle anchor 6 (e.g. middle anchor 6 illustrated in FIG. 1) and the middle anchor 6 has a structure to make the seat belt 1 penetrate therethrough. Therefore, when the slider 20 moves along the rail bracket 10, the height of the seat belt 1 may be adjusted to meet a body type of a seated passenger.
Further, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the slider 20 is provided with a guide groove 22 a and in rail bracket 10, the edge portions provided with the rail grooves 11 are fitted in the guide grooves 22 a. Therefore, according to various embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to smooth an operation and minimize operation noise by minimizing a connection occurrence between the rail bracket 10 corresponding to a fixing body and the slider 20 corresponding to a mobile body.
Meanwhile, the rail bracket 10 includes a bottom portion 12 configured to be fixedly mounted on the vehicle body (center pillar, e.g. pillar part 7 of FIG. 1) and a pair of flange parts 13 of both sides formed to be bent in a C-letter shape from the bottom portion 12, in which the pair of flange parts 13 are fitted in the guide grooves 22 a of the slider 20 while surfaces facing each other of the flange parts 13 being spaced apart from each other and the rail grooves 11 are vertically connected continuously along edges facing each other of the flange parts 13.
Further, the rail groove 11 has a structure in which a vertical extending part 11 a, a horizontal locking part 11 b, and an inclined part 11 c are formed to be continuously connected from a lower end of the flange part 13 to an upper end and when the horizontal locking part 11 b contacts a locking fin 31 to be described below, a downward movement of the slider 20 is restricted.
The slider 20 includes a base part 21 and an upper part 22 overlappingly coupled with a front surface of the base part 21, the guide grooves 22 a are formed on both sides of the upper part 22, and the locking mechanism 30 is disposed in a space between the base part 21 and the upper part 22.
When the base bracket 10 is coupled with the slider 20, the base part 21 is disposed in an inner space of the base bracket 10 so as not to be exposed to the outside and the upper part 22 is disposed outside the base bracket 10 to be exposed to the outside.
Here, the base part 21 is penetrately provided with a pair of base slots 21 a which are spaced apart from each other and is provided with a base protrusion 21 b with which the middle anchor 6 fitted with the seat belt 1 is coupled.
Further, the upper part 22 is penetrately provided with a pair of upper slots 22 b which are spaced apart from each other in a horizontal direction, a position in one direction based on the upper slot 22 b is provided with a protrusion coupling hole 22 c in which the base protrusion 21 b is fitted, a position in the other direction based on the upper slot 22 b is provided with a lever operating hole 22 d, and a spring mounting hole 22 e is formed to be disposed between the pair of upper slots 22 b while being formed between the upper slot 22 b and the protrusion coupling hole 22 c.
The upper slot 22 b is disposed above the base slot 21 a when the base part 21 is coupled to the upper part 22, that is, the base slot 21 a and the upper slot 22 b are formed to be disposed on the same axis.
The locking mechanism 30 includes a pair of locking fins 31 configured to have both ends fitted in the base slot 21 a and the upper slot 22 b and an outer circumference contacting the rail groove 11 while moving along a length direction of the slots 21 a and 22 b, a locking fin spring 32 mounted to be supported to the locking fin 31 while being fixed to the upper part 22 and configured to apply an elastic force to the locking fin 31 to contact the rail groove 11 at all times, a locking lever 33 mounted to contact the locking fin 31 while penetrating through the lever operating hole 22 d and configured to apply an external force to the locking fin 31 so that an interval between the pair of locking fins 31 is narrow when the locking lever 33 moves in a direction in which the locking lever 33 approaches the locking fin 31 along the lever operating hole 22 d; and a lever spring 34 configured to have one end supported to the upper part 22 and the other end supported to the locking lever 33 and apply an elastic force to the locking lever 33 so that the locking lever 33 moves in a direction in which the locking lever 33 is far away from the locking fin 31 at all times.
In this configuration, the locking fin spring 32 includes a middle portion 32 a configured to be fitted in the spring mounting hole 22 e and support parts 32 b of both ends configured to elastically support an inner circumference of the locking fin 31 so that the interval between the locking fins 31 is widened while being formed to be widened to both sides based on the middle portion 32 a.
Both ends of the support part 32 b are formed to be widened in a V-letter shape based on the middle portion 32 a while being integrally formed with the middle portion 32 a and the support part 32 b has elasticity to be widened to the outside at all times and therefore the pair of locking fins 31 receives the elastic force of the support part 32 b to widen the interval therebetween.
Further, the locking lever 33 includes a lever part 33 a configured to be movably mounted in a direction in which the lever part 33 a approaches the locking fin 31 along the lever operating hole 22 d while penetrating through the lever operating hole 22 d or in a direction opposite thereto and a pair of lever rod parts 33 b mounted to contact an outer circumference of the locking fin 31 while being formed to be widened to both sides based on the lever part 33 a and apply an external force to the locking fin 31 so that the interval between the pair of locking fins 31 is narrow when the lever part 33 a moves in a direction in which the lever part 33 a approaches the locking fin 31.
The lever rod part 33 b is formed to be widened in a V-letter shape based on the lever part 33 a while being integrally formed with the lever part 33 a.
The locking fin 31 includes a small diameter part 31 a of one side configured to move along the slot 21 a while being inserted into the base slot 21 a and a large diameter part 31 b configured to have a larger diameter than the small diameter part 31 a while being integrally formed with the small diameter part 31 a.
In the large diameter part 31 b, the surface of one end connected to the small diameter part 31 a is laid on the surface of the base part 21 so as not to be fitted in the base slot 21 a and in the large diameter part 31 b, the other end which is not connected to the small diameter part 31 a moves along the slot 22 b while being inserted into the upper slot 22 b.
Further, the small diameter part 31 a and the large diameter part 31 b have the same axis center so that the locking fin 31 may smoothly move along the slots 21 a and 22 b when the elastic force of the locking fin spring 32 is applied or the locking lever 33 applies an external force.
Hereinafter, the operation of various embodiments of the present invention will be described.
A state illustrated in FIG. 7 is a state in which the pair of locking fins 31 is maximally widened to the outside by the elastic force of the locking fin spring 32 to be locked to the horizontal locking groove 11 b of the rail groove 11 and is a state (that is, a state in which the locking lever 33 is disposed at a top end of the lever operating hole 22 b) in which the locking lever 33 is spaced apart from the locking fin 31 as far as possible by the elastic force of the lever spring 34. In this case, the slider 20 is in a locking state in which the slider 20 does not move in a downward direction of the base bracket 10 along the rail groove 11 as long as the external force is not applied to the locking lever 33.
When the user operates the locking lever 33 in the locking state as illustrated in FIG. 7 to make the locking lever 33 move in the downward direction of the lever operating hole 22 b as illustrated in FIG. 8, that is, the locking lever 32 moves toward the locking fin 31, the lever rod part 33 b presses an outer circumference of the locking fin 31, such that the pair of locking fins 31 moves to the inside so as to approach each other along the base slot 21 a and the upper slot 22 b. In this case, the locking fin 31 is separated from the horizontal locking groove 11 b and at the same time, the support part 32 b of the locking fin spring 32 is narrow to the inside.
As described above, when the locking fin 31 is separated from the horizontal locking groove 11 b, the slider 20 may move in the downward direction of the base bracket 10 along the rail groove 11. As a result, the seated passenger adjusts the height of the seat belt 1 down (downward direction) to suit a body type by the movement in a downward direction of the slider 20 and then disposes the seat belt 1 at the position of the horizontal locking groove 11 b of the desired position and releases the operation of the locking lever 33 to keep the locking state as illustrated in FIG. 7 so as to keep the state in which the height adjustment of the seat belt 1 in the downward direction is completed.
Further, when the user pushes only the slider 20 upward without operating the locking lever 33 in the locking state as illustrated in FIG. 7, the locking fin 31 disposed at the horizontal locking groove 11 b interlocks with the upward movement of the slider 20 to move along the inclined part 11 c of the rail groove 11. In this case, the support part 32 b of the locking fin spring 32 is narrow to the inside.
The locking fin 31 disposed at the inclined part 11 c by the continuously upward movement of the slider 20 moves along the vertical extending part 11 a and then is disposed at the horizontal locking groove 11 b disposed at the upper portion. In this case, the locking fin 31 is widened to the outside by a recovery of the locking fin spring 32 and thus is locked to the horizontal locking groove 11 b. As a result, the slider 20 moving upward keeps the locking state as illustrated in FIG. 7 to keep the state in which the height adjustment of the seat belt 1 in the upward direction is completed.
As described above, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the user operates the locking lever 33 at the time of the height adjustment of the seat belt 1 in the downward direction, and to the contrary, only the slider 20 moves upward without operating the locking lever 33 at the time of the upward adjustment, thereby making the operation convenient and simple.
Further, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the configuration of the slider 20 and the locking mechanism 30 are relatively simple and therefore the user may easily perform the operation with the simple operation without the large operation force, the number of parts and the weight may be reduced, and the costs may be saved.
Further, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the slider 20 is provided with the guide groove 22 a and the edge portions of the rail bracket 10 provided with the rail grooves 11 are fitted in the guide grooves 22 a. Therefore, it is possible to smooth the operation and minimize the operation noise by minimizing the connection occurrence between the rail bracket 10 corresponding to the fixing body and the slider 20 corresponding to a mobile body.
Further, according to various embodiments of the present invention, the rail bracket 10 has a structure in which the rail grooves 11 are formed to be continuously connected along a vertical direction, and therefore the slider 20 may continuously move downward at the time of the unlocking state of the locking mechanism 30 and the slider 20 may continuously move upward even at the time of a locking state of the locking mechanism 30, such that the vertical height of the seat belt 1 may be more stably controlled.
According to various embodiments of the present invention, it is possible to make the operation of the height adjuster convenient and simple by allowing the user to operate the locking lever only when the height of the seat belt is adjusted downward and to move only the slider upward without operating the locking lever when the height of the seat belt is adjusted upward, facilitate and simplify the operation and reduce the number of parts and the weight and save the costs by making the configuration of the slider and the locking mechanism relatively simple, and smooth the operation and minimize the operation noise by minimizing the connection occurrence between the rail bracket corresponding to the fixing body and the slider corresponding to the mobile body.
