Description

Seatbelt retractor and seatbelt device for a motor vehicle
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of motor vehicle safety, and more particularly to a seat belt retractor for a motor vehicle and a seat belt apparatus comprising such a seat belt retractor.
Background
In motor vehicles, a seat belt device is an important component of an occupant restraint system, and particularly in the event of a traffic accident, may provide protection for the occupant from injury or to minimize injury. With the development and progress of motor vehicle technology, the desire and demand for riding comfort of motor vehicles is increasing. In particular, in terms of noise in the interior of a motor vehicle, as high a quietness as possible is desirable when the motor vehicle is running. The seatbelt retractor may have a vehicle-feel device which may include metal parts which may collide with each other due to uneven road surface when the motor vehicle is running, which causes a certain noise. Particularly when the seatbelt retractor is installed in an area close to the human ear in a motor vehicle, noise caused by the vehicle feel device is more disturbing to the occupant, which adversely affects riding comfort.
A plurality of seat belt devices are usually provided in a motor vehicle. However, not all of the seatbelt apparatuses are used at the same time. For an unused seat belt device, measures may be taken to suppress the vehicle feel means of the respective seat belt device in order to reduce or even eliminate the noise caused by the respective vehicle feel means.
Patent document CN1754724B describes a seatbelt retractor having a vehicle-feel device and a suppressing mechanism. In the motor vehicle, the restraining mechanism can restrain the vehicle-feel device when the seat belt device is not in use, so that mutual collision of parts of the vehicle-feel device can be avoided. In such a prior art seatbelt retractor, the suppressing mechanism has many parts which are to be skillfully designed so as to be capable of being assembled and fitted to each other. The seat belt retractor has a large number of parts, is complicated to assemble, and has room for improvement in robustness.

Detailed Description
A seatbelt retractor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 3. In fig. 1, the webbing 12 is schematically indicated by a broken line, and the mandrel 1 is rotatably supported in the holder 4. An end cap 13 for receiving a coil spring that biases the spool 1 in a winding direction so that the webbing 12 is wound on the spool 1 without an external pulling force, in which case the webbing 12 is pulled out from the spool 1 against the spring force of the coil spring, may be fixed to one end face of the bracket 4.
The seatbelt retractor has a locking mechanism 100. The spindle 1 has a recess 1.1 which accommodates a locking claw 3. The carrier 4 has teeth 4.1. The locking claw 3 can co-act with the tooth 4.1. The recess 1.1, the tooth 4.1, the locking pawl 3 and the locking disk 2 to be described are part of the locking mechanism 100. The locking disk 2 has a locking groove 2.1, the locking groove 2.1 having a radially inner end and a radially outer end. The locking claw 3 is inserted with the pin element 3.1 into the locking groove 2.1 and is thus guided by the locking groove 2.1. The locking claw 3 is biased in the direction towards the radially inner end of the locking groove by a spring element, not shown. The locking disc 2 is rotatably sleeved on the axon of the mandrel 1. In the case of an unlatching of the latching disk 2, the latching claw 3 is in a radially inner position and is disengaged from the toothing 4.1, the spindle 1 being able to rotate together with the latching disk 2 via the latching claw 3. In the case of the locking disc 2 being locked, if the spindle 1 is rotated in the unwinding direction, the locking claw 3 is forced to move in the direction towards the radially outer end of the locking groove 2.1 until the locking claw 3 engages with the tooth 4.1, whereupon the locking claw 3 is locked together with the spindle 1. With the locking disk 2 stopped and the locking claw 3 engaged with the tooth 4.1, if the spindle 1 is rotated in the reeling direction, the locking claw 3 is forced to move in the direction towards the radially inner end of the locking groove 2.1, whereupon the locking claw 3 is disengaged from the tooth 4.1 again, so that the rotation of the spindle 1 in the reeling direction is not restricted. The locking disk 2 may have ratchet teeth 2.2 on the circumference, or the locking disk 2 may be designed as a ratchet wheel. The stop element can engage with the ratchet teeth 2.2 and thereby cause a stop of the locking disc 2.
The seatbelt retractor has a vehicle-feel device 6 which is designed to sense a safety-relevant operating state of the motor vehicle, for example, it can be used to sense acceleration, deceleration and inclination of the motor vehicle. For example, when the deceleration of the motor vehicle reaches or exceeds a threshold value, the vehicle-feel device actuates the second stop element such that it engages with the ratchet teeth 2.2 of the locking disk 2, so that the locking function of the locking device is activated. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the vehicle sensing device 6 comprises a base 6.2, a sensing element 6.1 movable in the base and a second stop element 6.3 movably supported in the base. The sensor element 6.1 can take a stationary initial position in the base 6.2 and can be moved in response to the operating state of the motor vehicle. The second stop element 6.3 can take up a stationary initial position and can be lifted by the sensor element 6.1, the second stop element 6.3 being configured for causing activation of the locking mechanism 100 when lifted from its stationary position into a predetermined position. The inductive element 6.1 can be designed as an inductive steel ball, and the base 6.2 can have a recess in which the inductive steel ball can roll in response to the operating state of the motor vehicle. The second stop element 6.3 may be configured as a claw element which is pivotally supported in the base 6.2, which claw element covers the recess and the induction steel ball received in the recess. During the rolling of the induction ball, the second stop element 6.3 can be lifted in relation to the position of the rolling ball in the recess. When the second stop element 6.3 is lifted to a predetermined position, the second stop element 6.3 engages with the ratchet teeth 2.2. The second stop element 6.3 can be regarded here as both a component of the locking mechanism 100 and a component of the vehicle-feel device 6.
In an alternative embodiment, two separate parts may also be provided, one of which is a stop element belonging to the locking mechanism 100 and the other is a lifting element belonging to the vehicle feel device 6, which lifting element is capable of actuating the stop element.
The seatbelt retractor may include a side cover 5 which may be regarded as a housing member of the seatbelt retractor, and part of the parts of the seatbelt retractor may be covered and protected by the side cover 5. The side cover 5 may be fixed to the bracket 4. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the vehicle-sensing device 6, the locking device 100 and the restraint mechanism 200 can be covered by the side cover 5, wherein the vehicle-sensing device 6 is mounted in a section 5.5 in the side cover 5.
The seatbelt retractor has a suppressing mechanism 200 which can suppress the vehicle feel function of the vehicle feel device when necessary, achieve noise reduction, and can release the vehicle feel function of the vehicle feel device when necessary, achieve sensing of a safety-related operating state of the motor vehicle, and activate the locking function of the locking device when necessary.
The suppression mechanism 200 may include a reduction mechanism having an input element 7 and an output element 8. The reduction gear can be designed as a wobble gear, wherein the input element 7 can be designed as an eccentric and is connected to the spindle 1 in a rotationally fixed manner, the output element 8 can be designed as a wobble gear and has an integrated fan-shaped flange 8.1, the outer circumferential surface of which forms the working surface, and a stationary ring gear 5.1 can be provided in the side cover 5. The wobble gear is mounted eccentrically to the axis of rotation of the spindle 1 by means of the eccentric, and is meshed with the ring gear 5.1.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the damping mechanism 200 has a trigger disc 9 with a recess 9.1, which is rotatably supported. The output element 8 has a drive projection 8.2 which protrudes into the recess 9.1 and can be moved freely between the two ends 9.3, 9.4 of the recess 9.1. The trigger plate 9 has a working surface. The active surface of the trigger disc 9 has a recess 9.2.
The dampening mechanism 200 comprises a follower 10, a dampening member 11.1 being in moving coupling with the follower 10, and a return spring 11, the return spring 11 biasing the follower 10 in a direction to move the dampening member 11.1 away from the second stop element 6.3. The follower 10 may be configured as a pivotably mounted follower. The suppressing member may be constituted as a cantilever portion of the return spring 11. The cantilever portion is movable with the follower 10. The follower 10 has a support arm 10.1 and a first stop element 10.2, which can be embodied as a pawl. When the driven part 10 rests with the support arm 10.1 on the running surface of the output element 8, the restraining means 11.1 presses the second stop element 6.3 of the vehicle sensing device 6, so that the second stop element 6.3 and the sensor element 6.1 cannot move relative to the base 6.2, whereby noise of the vehicle sensing device due to component collisions can be reduced or even eliminated. When the support arm 10.1 is disengaged from the running surface of the output element 8, the restraining means 11.1 is moved away from the second stop element 6.3 by the follower 10 under the action of the return spring 11 and thereby releases the vehicle feel function of the vehicle feel device. The support arms 10.1 of the follower 10 can rest on the running surface of the output element 8 and on the running surface of the trigger disk 9, which rest can be offset in time from one another, or can be carried out successively and continuously, or can be carried out partially overlapping.
The section 5.5 of the side cover 5 is omitted in fig. 2 and 3. As can be seen from fig. 2 and 3, the side cover 5 has a bottom surface 5.4 and a projection extending from the bottom surface. The input element 7 has a flange surface 7.2, and the output element 8 is supported in the axial direction on the flange surface 7.2 of the input element 7. The input element 7 has a first catch element 7.1 and is rotatably supported on the projection. The projection has a first shaft section 5.2 spaced from the bottom surface 5.4 and a second shaft section 5.3 adjoining the bottom surface 5.4 and a second catch element 5.2.1 provided on the end of the projection. Due to the reduced diameter of the first shaft section relative to the second shaft section, a flange surface 5.2.2 is formed on the projection. The first snap element 7.1 and the second snap element 5.2.1 form a snap connection such that the input element 7 and the projection are fixed to each other in the axial direction. The first snap element 7.1 surrounds the first shaft section 5.2. By means of the flange surface 7.2 of the input element 7 and the snap connection, the output element 8 presses the trigger disc 9 against the bottom surface 5.4, so that the trigger disc 9 can be rotated relative to the bottom surface 5.4 against friction.
The operation of the restraint mechanism 200 of the seatbelt retractor according to the present invention will be described below with reference to fig. 4 to 9.
In the operating state shown in fig. 4, the spindle 1 is in a predetermined rest position. In the installed state of the seat belt device with seat belt retractor and webbing 12 in the motor vehicle, the webbing 12 is maximally retracted onto the spindle 1 under the spring force of the coil spring of the seat belt retractor when the seat belt device is not being worn, the spindle 1 being in a predetermined rest position.
