Figure 12 A is the section-drawing of the safety air bag 40 of expression the 5th embodiment, and Figure 12 B is the back view of this safety air bag 40 of expression.
Shown in Figure 12 A, 12B, safety air bag 40 constitutes to expand and expands into a bag shape.More particularly, for example, sew up each other, form the bag shape that can be launched into flat spherical (ellipsoid shaped) through outer peripheral edges portion to two circular shapes.
Substantial middle portion at the dorsal part of this safety air bag 40 is formed with safety air bag mounting hole 42ha.In addition, in Figure 12 A, the aperture 42hb that is formed at the outside of safety air bag mounting hole 42ha is the hole that screw retention is used.
The circumference of safety air bag mounting hole 42ha is held on substrate 16 hole 16h periphery surface and dash plate 22,22 ' bearing surface or back side 22b, 22b ' between, safety air bag 40 just is installed in support unit 20.Under this state; Form following structure: the gas ejection part (the table side sections of boost pump) of boost pump 18 is configured in the safety air bag 40; Ejection gas from this boost pump 18 is directed in the safety air bag 40, and safety air bag 40 can expand towards driver's seat from steering hardware and expand into a bag shape.
In addition, in the dorsal part of safety air bag 40, the i.e. part of a side opposite, be formed with through hole 44h (becoming slit in the time of also can being opening) with the roughly the same diameter of through hole 44h with the expansion expansion direction of safety air bag 40.This through hole 44h has the opening shape and the size of the recess 52 of the central authorities that can connect safety air bag cover 50.In this embodiment; The roughly midway location of the outer peripheral edges portion in the backsight of safety air bag mounting hole 42ha and safety air bag 40; Be formed with through hole 44h, and under the state that can relatively move with respect to the base cloth of safety air bag 40, be sewed with the retaining that forms by base cloth identical materials and protect cloth-like body 46a with safety air bag.Protect cloth-like body 46a at this retaining; Have with the hole of the roughly the same diameter of the through hole 44h of safety air bag (or becoming the slit with the roughly the same diameter of said through hole 44h also can be opening the time) 40ah and be set at the position of departing from said through hole 44h; So that be not overlapped in said through hole 44h; Retaining protects hole 40ah and the through hole 44h of cloth-like body 46a, at folding safety air bag 40 and when being contained in the safety air bag cover 50, makes and keeps off the base cloth that protects cloth-like body 46a and safety air bag and relatively move and carry out contraposition; Under this state, keep by the rib of the dorsal part of the recess 52 of the safety air bag cover of stating after being arranged at.
Figure 13 A is the block diagram of safety air bag cover 50.As shown in the figure, safety air bag cover 50 is become roughly bowl-shape by resin-shaped, and the centre part has the recess 52 of the roughly truncated cone that is used for Collecting Center parts 30 as stated therein.
This safety air bag cover 50; Covered by fold linking parts 28,28 ' around the state of safety air bag 40 under; Insert logical bolt 27 at the mounting hole 52h of said recess 52; And be fixed in link parts 28,28 ', and as the back said via this installation sheet 16a by screw retention in substrate 16.
In addition, as shown in Figure 2 under the state of the said recess 52 that central module 30 has been installed on the safety air bag cover, the surface of its operating portion 34a becomes the surperficial substantially flush surface state with safety air bag cover 50.
Figure 13 B is the back view of safety air bag cover.As shown in the figure, be formed with the tear line (tear line) of groove shape at the back side of this safety air bag cover 50, when said tear line launches in the expansion of safety air bag 40, can cut off the recess 52 that (splitting) is bonded the central authorities of parts 28,28 ' fixing residually.Promptly; The back side at safety air bag cover 50; Around the recess 52 of central authorities, be provided with: circular tear line Lc, and by a plurality of for example four a series of tear lines that tear line L1~L4 constitutes from the radial extension of this tear line Lc makes if the expansion pressure that receives safety air bag then can residual central portion and be divided into a plurality of cover sheet 50a.In addition; Safety air bag cover 50 is split into each cover sheet 50a when safety air bag 40 expands; And the installation sheet 50b that is provided with by each cover sheet 50a respectively by screw retention in: erect and to outstanding each the installation sheet 16a that forms of substrate 16 dorsal parts from the plectane portion cutting of metal substrate 16, thereby make each cover sheet 50a can distinguish open independently.
Figure 14 representes other embodiment of safety air bag cover, is the block diagram same with Figure 13 A.This safety air bag 50 also is provided with around the recess 52 of central authorities: circular tear line Lc, and a plurality of for example four tear line L1~L4 of extending radially from this tear line Lc; But only be with the difference of the safety air bag cover 50 shown in Figure 13 A: the part of the tear line Lc of the circle around the recess 52 of central authorities has been pre-formed the 52c of cut-out portion, and other structure is identical.
Through tear line Lc the 52c of cut-out portion is set in this wise, can when safety air bag expands, opens the open sheet 50a of safety air bag cover 50 more smoothly and reliably at safety air bag cover 50.
In addition because should cover by decorative element by the 52c of cut-out portion, so from visual observation less than, thereby can not diminish the outward appearance of air bag device.
In above structure, launch if safety air bag 40 expands, then safety air bag cover 50 because of the tear line L part of this power around central module 30 by pressure break, the recess 52 of the residual bowl-shape central authorities of the cover sheet that splits is also open laterally respectively.Respectively cover this moment sheet 50a can with each other fully separately and respectively the mode of independent open be formed with tear line, and the installation sheet 16a of substrate 16 is made up of plastic deformation material freely, the installation sheet 50a that once has been out of shape does not turn back to former state.
Figure 15 observes the figure that respectively covers sheet 50a of opened state from substrate 16 sides.As shown in the figure, safety air bag cover 50 is constituted as: when safety air bag 40 expands, be divided into and respectively cover sheet 50a, and keep the torsional deflection state through said installation sheet 16a, safety air bag 40 receives from the pressure of boost pump 18 and can successfully expand.
When safety air bag expands; Be formed at safety air bag hole (or also can be slit) 44h or cylindrical portion 46 the recess 52 of part through the central authorities of the residual safety air bag cover of said fracture around; At this moment; Safety air bag 40 by the recess 52 of said central authorities towards the table side in the back side outside and the cumulative truncated cone shape face guiding of diameter is expanded towards foreign side.That is, while safety air bag 40 passes or the recess 52 of the motionless central authorities of the said safety air bag cover of process expands.
In addition, expand in this wise through safety air bag, the resistance of safety air bag expansion forwards during because of said passing makes its speed slow down a little.Therefore, safety air bag is at first along lateral expansion, and the safety air bag 40 of expansion can relax the pressure of direct impact chaufeur.
Then, the assembling sequence for the air bag device of above explanation describes.
When the assembling of safety air bag 40; At first; Suitably fold into safety air bag 40 or safety air bag main part 42 and cylindrical body 46 in the face side zone of substrate 16; And in safety air bag cover 50, under the inserting hole 43h of through hole 44h that makes safety air bag 40 or cylindrical body 46 and state that the recess 52 of said cover is faced mutually, take in safety air bag 40 or safety air bag main part 42 and cylindrical body 46; To link respectively parts 28,28 ' installation foot 28c, 28c ' embedding dash plate 22,22 ' the 22c of concavity portion, the 22c ' at the back side; Under this state, the circumference of safety air bag mounting hole 42ha is held on circumference and the dash plate 22,22 of the hole 16h of substrate 16 ' contact surface 22b, 22b ' between, overlapping substrate 16 and dash plate 22,22 '.Utilize then substrate 16 boost pump 18 mounting hole 16h, from dorsal part nut 25 is twisted to close the hold-down bolts of giving prominence in to safety air bag cover 50 in 27; And assembling horn switch mechanism portion 34 in central body portion 32, screw retention substrate 16, dash plate 22 and boost pump.
At this moment, binding parts 28,28 ' be configured in the safety air bag 40 through safety air bag mounting hole 42ha, or be configured in the cylindrical body 46 through the safety air bag mounting hole 42ha and the front peristome 46a of cylindrical body 46.In addition, the diameter of the front peristome 46a of cylindrical body 46 forms the also little path of maximum gauge than the recess 52 of the central authorities of safety air bag cover 50, or cylindrical body 46 is held, and when safety air bag expands, does not come off from the recess 52 of central authorities.The assembling of air bag device as shown in Figure 2 is thus accomplished.
The expansion action of this air bag device is described.
At first, the impulse detection of carrying out when colliding etc. through vehicle, boost pump 18 igniting generate gases at this boost pump 18, and this gas is directed in the safety air bag 40.If safety air bag 40 begins to expand, then safety air bag cover 50 receives this power, be the recess 52 of residual central authorities and splitting along tear line L1~L4 and LC, thereby each safety air bag cover sheet 50a expands out radially.
In the safety air bag of first embodiment, shown in figure 16 in the initial stage that safety air bag 40 begins to expand after safety air bag cover 50 splits, safety air bag 40 is to expand a little in the center with boost pump 18 on every side.
And then then shown in figure 14 if gas is directed in the safety air bag 40 of first embodiment, said recess 52 breaks away from through hole 44h, and safety air bag 40 expands.
Likewise, in the safety air bag of second embodiment, if gas imports in the safety air bag 40, then shown in figure 15, said recess 52 invades in the cylindrical body 46, and safety air bag 40 expands simultaneously.
After safety air bag has expanded to a certain degree; In the safety air bag 40 of first embodiment; Mainly be that the part that is the below of said recess 52 partially is partly to continue to expand in the table side sections and the below of safety air bag 40; Open from the top with the part that has formed through hole 44h the safety air bag 40 thruster of supporting or opposing, shown in figure 17, safety air bag 40 expands, and to be launched into the nature expanded shape be flat spherical.In addition, under the situation of the safety air bag 40 of second embodiment, expansion shown in figure 18 is launched into flat spherical.
In addition; In the safety air bag 40 of first embodiment, because after safety air bag 40 has expanded to a certain degree, through hole 44h is positioned at the rear side of safety air bag 40; So gas can excessively not revealed from this through hole 44h, and can prevent that the gas of revealing from spraying to chaufeur.If the expansion of safety air bag 40 finishes, then the gas in the safety air bag 40 is discharged through the through hole 44h of its dorsal part.
In addition, in the safety air bag 40 of second embodiment, because the front end opening 46a of cylindrical body 46 stops passing of said recess 52, safety air bag 40 can not expand into more than the length of cylindrical body 46.
In addition; In the safety air bag 40 of the 3rd embodiment; After safety air bag cover 50 splits,, shown in figure 19 in the initial stage that safety air bag main part 44 begins to expand; Safety air bag main part 44 is to be center swell around the boost pump 18, and cylindrical portion 46 is extended on the table side of central module 30 prolongs in safety air bag main part 44.
After safety air bag main part 44 has expanded to a certain degree; Mainly be to be partially in the safety air bag main part 44 that the part of the below of central module 30 is the part continuation expansion of cylindrical portion 46 belows in the safety air bag main part 44; Shown in figure 20; Safety air bag main part 44 expands, and to be launched into the nature expanded shape be flat spherical, thus with the formation of safety air bag main part 44 part of inserting hole 44h push open to the top.
According to above such air bag device that constitutes; Because in deployed condition; Inserting hole 44h at the peripheral part of safety air bag main part 44, promptly do not point to the passenger's of driver's seat position opening, so, be difficult for being sprayed onto the passenger even hypothesis gas is revealed from inserting hole 44h yet.In addition, in this embodiment, though inserting hole 44h points upwards, also can point to side or below, oblique side.Generally speaking, as long as inserting hole 44h is formed at the position of not pointing to the driver's seat passenger under deployed condition.
In addition; All the time; Expand into the annular solid shape for safety air bag is expanded, sew up more cloth and make with the expansion curve form ground that becomes expectation, but in the safety airbag apparatus; Because just can sewn airbags 40, so can make safety air bag 40 more simply through sewing up two base cloths.
In addition, because when the deployed condition of safety air bag 40, the leading section of cylindrical portion 46 is limited to said recess 52 with the anticreep shape, so, need the leading section of cylindrical portion 46 be mounted on said recess 52 sides in the assembling stage of safety air bag 40.Therefore, can be with more easy structure and easily carry out the assembling operation of safety air bag 40.
And; The taper side face of hole enlargement successively because said recess 52 has towards the expansion direction of safety air bag 40; So when the expansion of safety air bag 40; The front peristome 46a of cylindrical portion 46 opens along the taper side face of said recess 52 successively, and moves to the expansion direction of safety air bag 40, and anticreep is limited to the major diameter part of said recess 52.Thereby following advantage is arranged: the front peristome 46a of cylindrical portion 46 is stable, anticreep is limited to anticreep fastener 30a reliably.
At this, said recess 52 not necessarily must form the truncated cone shape with taper side face, also can form the part of giving prominence to flange shapely, ends the front peristome 46a of cylindrical portion 46 at this flange shape part anticreep card.
And then; Cylindrical portion 46 has than the big length dimension of distance that links inserting hole 44h and said recess 52, thus under safety air bag main part 44 expands the state that has launched naturally; When the expansion of safety air bag 40 launches; Can not apply the bigger power that produces because of expansion, not need firm reinforcement so grade, thereby can make air bag device more at low cost at the installation portion of cylindrical portion 46 and said recess 52 to cylindrical portion 46.
In addition; In the safety air bag of the 5th embodiment; When safety air bag expands, be formed at around the recess 52 of part of the through hole 42ha of safety air bag and the hole 40ah that said retaining protects cloth-like body 46a, at this moment through the central authorities of the residual safety air bag cover of said fracture; Safety air bag 40 by the recess 52 of said central authorities towards the table side in the back side outside and the cumulative truncated cone shape face guiding of diameter is expanded to foreign side.That is, while safety air bag 40 pass said safety air bag cover motionless central authorities recess 52 around, expand.Through hole 42ha and said retaining protect the hole 40ah of cloth-like body 46a, if pass recess 52 respectively, then turn back to the state that original position relation promptly departs from each other simultaneously, and the through hole 42ha of safety air bag 40 by cloth sheet complete closed, prevents gas leakage respectively thus.
In addition, expand in this wise through safety air bag, the resistance of safety air bag expansion forwards during because of said passing makes its speed slow down a little.Therefore, safety air bag is at first along lateral expansion, and the safety air bag 40 of expansion can relax direct impact driver's pressure.
The expansion action of this air bag device is described.
At first, the impulse detection of carrying out when colliding etc. through vehicle, boost pump 18 igniting generate gases at this boost pump 18, and this gas is directed in the safety air bag 40.If safety air bag 40 begins to expand, then safety air bag cover 50 receives this power, is the recess 52 of residual central authorities and splitting along tear line L1~L4 and LC, thereby each safety air bag cover sheet 50a is open radially or expand and open.This moment as stated; Because the through hole 44h of safety air bag 40 is protected cloth-like body 46a sealing by retaining; So retaining protects cloth-like body 46a and receives gaseous tension and be close to the safety air bag base cloth in safety air bag, seals mutual opening each other, thereby can interdict gas leakage additionally.
After safety air bag cover 50 split, shown in figure 21 in the initial stage that safety air bag 40 begins to expand, safety air bag 40 was to expand a little in the center with boost pump 18 on every side.
If gas further imports in the safety air bag 40, then said recess 52 breaks away from through hole 44h and hole 40ah, and safety air bag 40 expands.
After safety air bag has expanded to a certain degree; Mainly in safety air bag 40, be partially below the said recess 52 part, be safety air bag 40 the table side sections and below part continue to expand; Open from the top with the part that has formed through hole 44h the safety air bag 40 thruster of supporting or opposing; Shown in figure 22, the expand expanded shape that is launched into nature of safety air bag 40 is flat spherical.
According to the air bag device of above formation, because the central module 30 that can not fly out can be installed in the expansion of safety air bag 40 time launches so safety air bag 40 is expanded.
And; In this embodiment; Because the recess 52 of the central authorities of safety air bag cover 50 is via linking parts 28,28 ' the be mounted on substrate 16 that is used to install boost pump, this link parts 28,28 ' substrate 16 and dash plate 22,22 ' binding the time can install simultaneously with safety air bag 40, so the fixed mechanism through the said recess 52 of simplification; And realize the sharing of the part of installation usefulness, can make designs simplification thus.And,, can prevent the gas leakage when safety air bag expands through easy structure.
Below, the variation of the safety air bag that in this embodiment, uses is described.
Figure 23 A is the birds-eye view of the safety air bag of expression first variation, and Figure 23 B and Figure 23 C are respectively the section-drawings of the main portion of this safety air bag of expression.
In this safety air bag 40C, be formed with the through hole portion 44Ch same with the said through hole 44Bh of portion.In addition, it must be the joint-cutting shape of lines that the 44Ch of through hole portion there is no need, and also can be circular hole.In addition, the outer peripheral face at safety air bag mounting hole 42ha is formed with a plurality of (is two at this) bent hole 43h.
And then, at the exterior side of safety air bag 40,, retaining is installed protects cloth-like body 46C promptly in the zone that covers the said through hole 44Ch of portion, protect cloth-like body 46C at this retaining, be formed with second 46Ch of through hole portion with the different position of the said through hole 44Ch of portion.
Specifically, retaining protects cloth-like body 46C, forms the general square shape cloth shape that each top has fillet, and its circumference is configured to surround the 44Ch of through hole portion, and is sewn on the safety air bag 40C.In addition, this retaining protects the inner face side that cloth-like body 46C also can be sewn on safety air bag 40C.And,, form said second 46Ch of through hole portion through protect the joint-cutting that forms wire on the cloth-like body 46C at retaining.Second 46Ch of through hole portion is formed on the position of intersecting with the said through hole 44Ch of portion approximate vertical.
In addition, the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Ch of through hole portion there is no need and must approximate vertical intersect, and it is crossing also can to tilt, and, as explaining in the next variation, need not intersect yet.Generally speaking, the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Ch of through hole portion are when the expansion of safety air bag 40C, as long as be in: the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Ch of the through hole portion mutual dislocation and the position that disposes relation.
In addition, through the expansion expansion of safety air bag 40C, after said recess 52 broke away from the through hole 44Ch of portion and second 46Ch of through hole portion, the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Ch of through hole portion turned back to wire, inaccessible its opening.And under this state, the periphery cloth portion of the periphery cloth portion of the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Ch of through hole portion replenishes the inaccessible mutual opening in ground each other, therefore, prevents that more reliably gas from passing through the 44Ch of through hole portion and leaking.
After the safety air bag 40D expansion, mainly discharge gas from bent hole 43h.
Thereby, in this safety air bag 40C, can limit gas discharge from the 44Ch of through hole portion.
Figure 24 A is the back view of the safety air bag of expression second variation, and Figure 25 B is the section-drawing of the main portion of this safety air bag of expression.
This second variation is the example that second 46Ch of through hole portion in said first variation is disposed at not the safety air bag 40D of the position of intersecting with the 44Ch of through hole portion; That is, the second through hole 46Dh with wire is formed at: retaining protects among the cloth-like body 46D position of leaving predetermined distance with the 44Ch of through hole portion almost parallel and from the 44Ch of through hole portion.About other structure, identical with the safety air bag 40C of second variation.
If the expansion through safety air bag 40D launches, said recess 52 breaks away from the through hole 44Ch of portion and second 46Dh of through hole portion, and then the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Dh of through hole portion turn back to wire, inaccessible its opening.Under this state, the periphery cloth portion of the periphery cloth portion of the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Dh of through hole portion replenishes the inaccessible mutual opening in ground each other, therefore, prevents the gas leakage from safety air bag 40D more reliably.In addition, the 44Ch of through hole portion and second 46Dh of through hole portion are not configured in the position of mutual repetition, so compare with said first variation, can prevent reliably further that gas from passing through the 44Ch of through hole portion and leaking.
Thereby, in this safety air bag 40D, can limit gas discharge from the 44Ch of through hole portion.
All after said recess 52 had broken away from the 44Bh of through hole portion, 44Ch, restriction was from the gas discharge of these each 44Bh of through hole portion, 44Ch for said first variation, second variation.Thus, for example, can adjust the moment and the spillage etc. of gas leakage, thereby can easily adjust the characteristic (colliding absorption characteristic etc.) of safety air bag by the setting (hole size, shape, position) of the bent hole 43h that is provided with separately.And,, also can not need the bent hole that is provided with separately through suitable adjustment discharge.
Consider from other viewpoint; Even set the opening of the 44Bh of through hole portion, 44Ch etc. significantly, also can prevent excessive gas leakage, so; Through increasing this opening shape, the blocking of the recess 52 the when expansion that can Min. ground suppresses safety air bag launches.
Air bag device of the present invention according to above formation; Because the central module 30 that can not fly out in the time of can being installed in the expansion of safety air bag 40 launches so safety air bag 40 is expanded.
In addition; Because the recess 52 of the central authorities of safety air bag cover 50 is via linking parts 28,28 ' the be mounted on substrate 16 that is used to install boost pump; This link parts 28,28 ' substrate 16 and dash plate 22,22 ' binding the time can install simultaneously with safety air bag 40, so, through simplifying the fixed mechanism of said recess 52; And realize the sharing of the part of installation usefulness, can make designs simplification thus.
