Abstract

A woven belt tape for a car seat belt system has warp ends (7) which have different lengths per unit of length of the tape. The short warp ends (10) absorb the traction loading acting on the belt without loading the longer warp ends until a first elongation value of the belt has been reached. After this has been reached, the loner warp ends participate in absorbing the traction loading in accordance with the ratio of their length to the length of the short warp ends (10).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein gewebtes Gurtband für ein Fahrzeuginsassenrückhaltesystem.The invention relates to a woven webbing for a vehicle occupant restraint system.

Bei besonders schweren Unfällen können Rückhaltekräfte des Gurtband so groß werden, daß es zu Verletzungen des Fahrzeuginsassens kommt. Aus diesem Grunde werden Fahrzeuginsassenrückhaltesysteme vermehrt mit Kraftbegrenzungsvorrichtungen versehen, bei denen es bei Überschreiten einer konstruktiv vorgegebenen Zugbelastung in dem Gurtband zu einer Längenzunahme der Kraftbegrenzungsvorrichtung unter Energiewandlung kommt, wodurch Belastungsspitzen in dem Rückhaltesystem vermindert werden können.In particularly serious accidents, the restraint forces on the belt can become so great that injuries to the vehicle occupant occur. For this reason, vehicle occupant restraint systems are increasingly being provided with force limiting devices which, when a structurally predetermined tensile load in the belt webbing is exceeded, lead to an increase in the length of the force limiting device with energy conversion, as a result of which load peaks in the restraint system can be reduced.

Solche Kraftbegrenzungsvorrichtungen können beispielsweise durch Dehnungsvorrichtungen gebildet sein, die an einem Endbeschlag des Gurtes oder an dessen Gurtaufroller vorgesehen sein können. Durch die bei Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen Zugbelastung auftretende plastische Verformung, die zu einer Längenzunahme der Dehnungsvorrichtung führt, kann die Gurtkraft auf ein konstruktiv vorgegebenes Maß begrenzt werden. Nachteilig bei solchen Kraftbegrenzungsvorrichtungen ist der für sie notwendige zusätzliche Bauaufwand, zu dem noch die Gefahr einer Fehlmontage hinzukommt.Such force limiting devices can be formed, for example, by stretching devices which can be provided on an end fitting of the belt or on its belt retractor. Due to the plastic deformation occurring when a predetermined tensile load is exceeded, which leads to an increase in the length of the expansion device, the belt force can be limited to a structurally predetermined dimension. The disadvantage of such force limiting devices is that additional construction work necessary for them, in addition to the risk of incorrect assembly.

Eine Kraftbegrenzung kann auch durch Reißelemente erreicht werden, die am Gurtband nach Art einer Gurtschlaufe ausgebildet sind und beim Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen Zugbelastung sukzessive eine zusätzliche Gurtlänge freigeben, wodurch ebenfalls eine Begrenzung der Zugbelastung auf ein vorgegebenes Maß möglich ist. Es ergibt sich aber eine Kraftbegrenzungskennlinie von unbefriedigender Reproduzierbarkeit.A force limitation can also be achieved by tearing elements, which are designed on the belt in the manner of a belt loop and gradually release an additional belt length when a predetermined tensile load is exceeded, which likewise allows the tensile load to be limited to a predetermined amount. However, there is a force limitation characteristic of unsatisfactory reproducibility.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Kraftbegrenzung mit einfachen Mitteln am Gurtband selbst zu verwirklichen, deren Kraftbegrenzungskennlinie konstruktiv beeinflußbar und gut reproduzierbar ist.The object of the invention is to implement a force limitation with simple means on the belt strap itself, the force limitation characteristic of which can be influenced in terms of design and can be reproduced well.

Diese Aufgabe wird mittels eines gewebten Gurtbandes gelöst, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß die Kettfäden mit je Längeneinheit des Gurtbandes verschiedenen Längen ausgebildet sind, nämlich als kurze Kettfäden, die bis zu einem ersten Dehnungswert des Gurtbandes die in diesem wirkende Zugbelastung ohne Belastung der längeren Kettfäden aufnehmen, und als längere Kettfäden, die ab diesem Dehnungswert des Gurtbandes in Abhängigkeit von dem Verhältnis ihrer Länge zu der Länge der kurzen Kettfäden an der Aufnahme der in dem Gurtband wirkenden Zugbelastung beteiligt sind. Ein solches Gurtband vermeidet jeglichen zusätzlichen Bauaufwand für eine Kraftbegrenzungsvorrichtung, da beim Überschreiten einer vorgegebenen Zugbelastung eine kontrollierte Längenzunahme des Gurtbandes durch Dehnung der kürzeren Kettfäden erzielbar ist, wodurch die in dem Gurtband wirkende Zugbelastung auf ein konstruktiv vorgegebenes Maß begrenzt werden kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil des erfindungsgemäßen Gurtbandes besteht darin, daß durch geeignete Auswahl der Längenverhältnisse der Kettfäden und deren Bemessung die Kennlinie von Zugbelastung über Dehnung des Gurtbandes in einem weiten Bereich frei einstellbar ist.This object is achieved by means of a woven webbing, which is characterized in that the warp threads are formed with different lengths depending on the length unit of the webbing, namely as short warp threads which, up to a first elongation value of the webbing, the tensile load acting in this without stressing the longer warp threads record, and as longer warp threads, which are involved in absorbing the tensile load acting in the belt band from this elongation value of the belt depending on the ratio of their length to the length of the short warp threads. Such a webbing avoids any additional construction effort for a force limiting device, since when a predetermined tensile load is exceeded, a controlled increase in the length of the webbing can be achieved by stretching the shorter warp threads, as a result of which the tensile load acting in the webbing can be limited to a design dimension. Another advantage of the webbing according to the invention is that the characteristic curve of tensile load over stretching of the webbing can be freely adjusted in a wide range by suitable selection of the length ratios of the warp threads and their dimensioning.

Bei der bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die längeren Kettfäden durch lange Kettfäden mit einheitlicher Länge gebildet sind, die ab dem dem Längenunterschied zwischen den kurzen und den langen Kettfäden entsprechenden ersten Dehnungswert des Gurtbandes an der Aufnahme der in diesem wirkenden Zugbelastung beteiligt sind. Durch das Verwenden von Kettfäden mit nur zwei unterschiedlichen Längen ergibt sich ein vorteilhafter Kompromiß zwischen günstiger Herstellung einerseits und ausreichender Variationsmöglichkeit der Kennlinie von Zugbelastung über Dehnung des Gurtbandes andererseits.In the preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the longer warp threads are formed by long warp threads of uniform length, which are involved in absorbing the tensile load acting on the belt strap from the first elongation value of the webbing corresponding to the difference in length between the short and long warp threads. The use of warp threads with only two different lengths results in an advantageous compromise between inexpensive manufacture on the one hand and sufficient variation of the characteristic curve from tensile load to elongation of the webbing on the other hand.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims.

Die bevorzugte Ausführung der Erfindung wird nachfolgend unter Bezugnahme auf die beigefügte Zeichnung beschrieben. In dieser zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische Teilansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Gurtbandes;
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische Ansicht der Kettfäden des Gurtbandes von Fig. 1 zusammen mit zwei Schußfäden; und
  • Fig. 3 einen möglichen Verlauf der Kurve von Zugbelastung F über Dehnung δ des Gurtbandes von Fig. 1.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this show:
  • Figure 1 is a schematic partial view of a webbing according to the invention.
  • Fig. 2 is a schematic view of the warp threads of the webbing of Fig. 1 together with two weft threads; and
  • 3 shows a possible course of the curve of tensile load F over expansion δ of the belt strap from FIG. 1.

In den Figuren 1 und 2 ist schematisch die bevorzugte Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Gurtbandes 1 dargestellt. Es besteht aus miteinander verwobenen Schußfäden 5 und in der Längsrichtung des Gurtbandes verlaufenden Kettfäden 7. Wie insbesondere in Figur 2 zu sehen ist, weist die Hälfte der Kettfäden 7 eine größere Länge auf als die verbleibenden Kettfäden. Somit umfassen die Kettfäden 7 kurze Kettfäden 10 und lange Kettfäden 20. Wie ebenfalls insbesondere in Fig. 2 zu sehen ist, sind die kurzen und die langen Kettfäden 10, 20 abwechselnd angeordnet. Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich erwiesen, wenn die langen Kettfäden 20 um ungefähr 20 % je Längeneinheit des Gurtbandes 1 länger sind als die kurzen Kettfäden 10. Die Kraftbegrenzung des erfindungsgemäßen Gurtbandes 1 erfolgt im Falle eines Fahrzeugunfalles in der folgenden Weise (siehe auch Fig. 3): In einem normalen Verwendungsfall des Gurtbandes 1 wird die in diesem wirkende Zugbelastung ausschließlich von den kurzen Kettfäden 10 aufgenommen. Hierbei tritt im wesentlichen keine Dehnung des Gurtbandes 1 auf. Erst ab dem Erreichen einer ersten Grenzkraft, die im Falle der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Kurve ungefähr 3 kN beträgt, kommt es zu einer merklichen Dehnung des Gurtbandes 1. Da die Schußfäden 5 und die Kettfäden 7 aus Polyethylen bestehen, erfolgt bei dem Erreichen dieser ersten Grenzkraft eine erhebliche Dehnung der Gurtbandes 1 bis zu einem ersten Dehnungswert von ungefähr 20%, wobei diese Dehnung des Gurtbandes 1 bei im wesentlichen konstanter Zugbelastung des Gurtbandes 1 erfolgt. Bis zum Erreichen dieses ersten Dehnungswertes wird die in dem Gurtband 1 wirkende Zugbelastung weiterhin ausschließlich von den kurzen Kettfäden 10 aufgenommen.FIGS. 1 and 2 schematically show the preferred embodiment of a webbing 1 according to the invention. It consists of interwoven weft threads 5 and warp threads 7 running in the longitudinal direction of the webbing. As can be seen in particular in FIG. 2, half of the warp threads 7 have a greater length than the remaining warp threads. The warp threads 7 thus comprise short warp threads 10 and long warp threads 20. As can also be seen in particular in FIG. 2, the short and the long ones Warp threads 10, 20 arranged alternately. It has proven to be particularly advantageous if the long warp threads 20 are longer by approximately 20% per unit length of the webbing 1 than the short warp threads 10. The belt webbing 1 according to the invention is limited in the following manner in the event of a vehicle accident (see also FIG. 3 ): In a normal use of the webbing 1, the tensile load acting on it is absorbed exclusively by the short warp threads 10. There is essentially no stretching of the webbing 1. Only when a first limit force is reached, which in the case of the curve shown in FIG. 3 is approximately 3 kN, does the belt webbing 1 stretch noticeably. Since the weft threads 5 and the warp threads 7 are made of polyethylene, this occurs when they are reached first limit force a considerable elongation of the webbing 1 up to a first elongation value of approximately 20%, this elongation of the webbing 1 taking place with an essentially constant tensile load on the webbing 1. Until this first elongation value is reached, the tensile load acting in the webbing 1 continues to be absorbed exclusively by the short warp threads 10.

Ab dieser ersten Dehnung des Gurtbandes 1, die dem Längenunterschied zwischen den kurzen Kettfäden 10 und den langen Kettfäden 20 entspricht, sind auch die langen Kettfäden 20 an der Aufnahme der in dem Gurtband 1 wirkenden Zugbelastung F beteiligt, was zu einer Begrenzung der Dehnung der kurzen Kettfäden 10 führt. Dadurch wird die Kurve von Zugbelastung F über Dehnung δ derart verändert, daß mit einer Zunahme der Dehnung δ auch eine Zunahme der Zugbelastung F verbunden ist. Somit ist gewährleistet, daß das Gurtband 1 auch nach Erreichen des ersten Dehnungswertes noch eine ausreichende Festigkeit aufweist, falls es eine noch höhere Zugbelastung aufnehmen muß. Für den Einsatz des erfindungsgemäßen Gurtbandes 1 als Kraftbegrenzungsvorrichtung in einem Fahrzeuginsassenrückhaltesystem sind die konstruktiven Parameter des Gurtbandes 1 derart gewählt, daß die erste Grenzkraft, bei welcher die Dehnung des Gurtbandes 1 bis zu dem ersten Dehnungswert erfolgt, der Kraft entspricht, ab deren Überschreiten eine Verletzung des Fahrzeuginsassens befürchtet werden muß und ab der die Kraftbegrenzungsfunktion einsetzen soll.From this first stretch of the webbing 1, which corresponds to the difference in length between the short warp threads 10 and the long warp threads 20, the long warp threads 20 are also involved in absorbing the tensile load F acting in the webbing 1, which limits the stretching of the short ones Warp threads 10 leads. As a result, the curve of tensile load F over elongation δ is changed such that an increase in elongation δ is also associated with an increase in tensile load F. This ensures that the webbing 1 still has sufficient strength even after the first elongation value has been reached if it has to absorb an even higher tensile load. For the use of the webbing 1 according to the invention as a force limiting device in a vehicle occupant restraint system, the design parameters of the webbing 1 are selected such that the first limit force at which the webbing 1 stretches up to the first elongation value takes place, corresponds to the force above which an injury to the vehicle occupant must be feared and from which the force limiting function is to start.
