It is easily understood that at this, describe, in general terms can with multiple different structure arrangement and design with the parts of the embodiment illustrated in the accompanying drawings.Thus, the more detailed description hereafter for multiple embodiments as shown in the figure is not intended to limit the scope of protection of present invention, and is only the representative of multiple embodiment.Although illustrate the many aspects of embodiment in figure, but unless otherwise specified, accompanying drawing is not necessarily drawn in proportion.
Term " connection ", " connection " and " connection " refer to the interaction of arbitrary form between two or more entity, comprise machinery, electricity, magnetic, electromagnetism, fluid with the interaction of heating power.Two parts can connect each other, even if they are not in direct contact with one another.Term " adjoins " parts referring to be in direct physical contact with each other, although these parts can link together.
Inflatable bladders system is widely used for the damage being reduced in occupant in crash scenario to greatest extent.Air bag module has been installed in the multiple positions in vehicle, include but not limited to bearing circle, instrument carrier panel, in side door or side chair, the purline of adjacent vehicle, in the position of above-head or the position at knee or leg.In hereafter open, " air bag " can refer to inflatable curtain air bag, head airbag, front-seat air bag or other airbag types arbitrarily.
In the bearing circle that front-seat air bag is arranged on vehicle usually and instrument carrier panel.In installation process, air bag is rolled-up, folded, or not only rolled-up but also folded, and keep rolling after cover/folding state.In collision accident, vehicle sensors triggers the startup of gas filled device, and gas filled device fills air bag with charge air conditioning rapidly.Thus, air bag rapidly from roll/folding changing of design is the structure launched.
Fig. 1-2 shows airbag apparatus 100 with block diagram.Airbag apparatus 100 can comprise inflatable cushion film 110, housing 170, gas filled device (not shown), active exhaust port 190, active exhaust port frenulum 120, tethers releasing mechanism 150 and the mounting bracket (not shown) for tethers releasing mechanism.In addition, device 100 can comprise one or more sensor, and sensor passes on the characteristic of vehicle, accident and/or occupant to gas filled device and/or tethers releasing mechanism.Device 100 is provided so that inflatable cushion can carry out dynamic compensation to the less occupant of stature or out of position occupant.In addition, device 100 can be suitable for is the buffering that the occupant of safety strap provides optimization.By the amount using active exhaust port and exhausr port tethers system to change the charge air conditioning remained in expansion process in pad, these characteristic sum characteristics are at least partly realized.
Embodiment according to Fig. 1-2, pad 110 has top 111, bottom 112, front 113, side, the back side 114, first 115 and the second side 116.Multiple faces of pad film 110 define inner inflatable space 118, and inflatable space 118 is communicated with gas filled device fluid.Pad 110 multiple can use the seam that comprises suture and be connected to each other.
When pad is in deployed condition, the top 111 of pad 110 is pad parts closest to vehicle roof (headliner).When pad 110 is in deployed condition, bottom 112 under top 111, and closest to the floor of vehicle.Term " bottom " must not be restricted to the part of pad 110 under the mid-plane of its level, but can comprise few half, mostly or the just in time half of the bottom of pad.Similarly, term " top " need not be restricted to the part of pad 110 on the mid-plane of its level, but can comprise few half, mostly or the just in time half at the top of pad.
As is understood by persons skilled in the art, under the prerequisite without prejudice to scope of the present invention and essence, the air bag cushion film of polytype and structure can be used.Such as, padding the size of film, shape and ratio can change according to the use in its diverse location in different vehicle or vehicle, makes pad can comprise inflatable curtain pad, rear row's side gas-bag for passenger, driver air-bag and/or front passenger air bag.In addition, pad film and can comprise one or more pieces any materials well known in the art, the nylon fabrics such as woven.In addition, air bag cushion can use multiple technologies manufacture, such as single-piece braiding, " cutting and stitching ", or the combination of these two kinds of technology.In addition, pad film the mode of sealing joints or non-tight seam can be used to manufacture, wherein seam by sewing, adhesives, tie up, radio-frequency welding, heat-sealing, or arbitrarily other be suitable for technology or technology combination and formed.
Those skilled in the art are further appreciated that the maintenance of charge air conditioning in pad can be regulated by the existence of one or more exhausr port that is fixing or that be separated, and exhausr port is set to allow charge air conditioning to leave the inside of pad.In addition, for the shape making air bag cushion film inflate completely adopts predetermined shape, can use inside and outside tethers, wherein tethers limits the expansion of air bag and is constrained to concrete shape.Tethers connects with one or more surfaces of pad film usually, and extends to another surface of pad, airbag housing or vehicle structure.
Tethers 120 can comprise the frenulum that fabric (nylon such as woven) is made.Tethers 120 can comprise first end 121, elongated middle part 122 and the second end 123, and wherein first end and one or more active exhaust port 190 connect, and middle part extends towards releasing arrangement 150, and the second end and releasing arrangement connect.In the description of Fig. 1, first end 121 and one or more active exhaust port 190 of one or more tethers 120 connect.Middle part 122 extends toward each other and is bound up, and makes two tethers form the second single end 123 connect with releasing arrangement 150.Second end 123 can be set to the circle of being captured by releasing arrangement 150.In an alternative embodiment, two tethers can not be bound up, but can connect with releasing arrangement independently, and can be or be not discharged by releasing arrangement independently.
Housing 170 can comprise can, and can is permanently connected with pad 110 via the throat of pad.Housing 170 to be set to be arranged in vehicle and for specifically being located by airbag apparatus 100, makes pad can with predetermined characteristic spread.In state that is wrapped, non-deployed, pad 110 is included in housing 170.Housing 170 is set to allow the fluid between the space 118 of pad 110 and gas filled device (not shown) to be communicated with.
