Definitions
- the invention relates to an airbag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the document DE 101 64 210 A1 describes an interior trim in a vehicle which covers an exit area of an airbag. In one embodiment, it is provided that the exit region is located in a decorative insert of the inner lining.
- the document DE 200 16 493 111 discloses a trim element for the inner lining of a passenger car, which consists of an elongated, rigid support plate, which is concavely arched to the passenger compartment and provided with a decorative cover. A tear seam for providing a passage opening for an airbag extends over the visible surface of the support plate and the decorative cover.
- the car model Fiat 500 (model year 2007/2008) of the car manufacturer Fiat SpA implements a gas bag module with a visible surface, which is formed by two parts with different surfaces, one part is formed centrally and in the case of release by disengagement completely from the surrounding Frame part separates. It is held in the disengaged state by a belt on the module.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a gas bag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system, which allows improved designerische design options.
- the invention further relates to an airbag module for a vehicle occupant restraint system, which comprises an airbag, a gas generator and a gas generator carrier and has a visible surface facing the vehicle interior in the installed state, which is formed by different segments of the airbag module, wherein at least two of the segments visually and / or or haptically have different surfaces. It is envisaged that at least two of the segments are mechanically connected to one another via mechanical interfaces such that the mechanical connection between the segments is at least partially released in the case of activation by opening the interfaces, so that an opening is formed in the visible surface, through which the gas bag can escape the gas bag module. In this case, all segments that contribute to the formation of an opening for the gas bag by opening an interface to the formation, directly attached to the gas generator carrier.
- the solution according to the invention thus provides that at least two of the segments which form the visible surface are connected to one another via detachable mechanical interfaces which open when triggered and thus allow the formation of an opening for the gas bag in the visible surface.
- the mechanical interfaces thus provide defined tear lines and perform a dual function by providing a mechanical connection between the segments and also defining tear lines when triggered.
- the connecting regions of the individual segments thus form the tear lines of the visible surface in the case of the deployment of the gas bag.
- the division of the visible surface therefore corresponds to the opening profiles for the gas bag application. This is particularly effective since no separate structuring of the segments outside the connection area is required.
- the solution according to the invention further provides that the individual segments, which contribute to the formation of an opening for the gas bag in the event of triggering by opening an interface, are fastened directly to the gas generator carrier, thus ensuring that the segments which open remain on the gas generator and can not endanger a passenger to be protected. This is made possible in a simple manner without the need for additional fasteners.
- the solution according to the invention makes it possible to realize optically and / or haptically differing surfaces and thus a different one
- the Visible surface can be divided into different styling segments.
- the individual segments can undergo a surface refinement independently of the other segments, so that a surface refinement of one of the segments does not lead to additional costs for other non-finished segments. It can be chosen arbitrarily, which should be supplied to the different segments that form the visible surface of the airbag module, a surface finishing or a specific styling. This makes it possible, in particular, to provide specifically defined segments, as desired by the customer, with a specific surface.
- Two surfaces differ optically in the sense of the present invention if they have a different color and / or different light reflection properties, for example forming different gloss values or matt values.
- Two surfaces differ haptically in the sense of the present invention, if they consist of different materials and / or have different surface structures.
- An optically and / or haptically different design of a surface is also referred to as surface refinement. The different surface refinement goes hand in hand with a different styling of a considered segment.
- At least two mechanical interfaces open completely in the event of triggering so that at least two of the segments forming the viewing area are completely separated from one another after their exit from the gas generator carrier. This ensures that the segments in question can not hinder the escape of the gas bag from the gas bag module. Alternatively, however, it may also be provided that the interfaces open only partially, so that the corresponding segments remain partially connected.
- the mechanical interfaces of the segments are formed by corresponding interlocking elements, which disengage and disengage from a certain force, as occurs when inflating a gas bag in the event of triggering.
- the interfaces can also be made detachable in other ways, for example by using an adhesive that dissolves from a certain force.
- the visible surface has at least one segment which is connected via a non-detachable mechanical interface with one of the other segments. Such a segment does not participate in the provision of an opening for the gas bag in the event of triggering. By such a further segment, the designerische design freedom can be further increased.
- these mutually corresponding attachment surfaces can form. These may additionally include positioning elements e.g. in the form of projections and corresponding recesses, which allow a pre-positioning of the respective attachment surfaces.
- the different segments of the airbag module which form the visible surface, are formed in a variant by a cap which opens at least partially in the case of triggering and / or ruptures, and / or formed by visible areas of a module housing of the airbag module.
- the visible surface is formed by different segments of a modular cap of the gas bag module.
- the visible surface is formed by at least three segments of the cap, namely an upper cap segment, a lower cap segment and a central cap segment.
- a first, non-detachable interface is provided for connecting the central cap segment to the upper or lower cap segment and a second detachable interface for connecting the upper cap segment to the lower cap segment.
- the upper and lower cap segments are connected at their end remote from the central cap segment to the gas generator carrier. It can further be provided that the central cap segment is connected via a decorative ring as another cap segment with the upper or the lower cap segment.
- the surface of a segment is formed by a plastic film.
- different film designs can be applied without the support material would have to be changed.
- a predecorated film is injection-molded with an injection-moldable plastic. hereby
- smooth, high-gloss surfaces can be produced on soft airbag substrates.
- other methods such as gluing, hot stamping, Dip Printen etc. for application of a finishing surface possible.
- Injection of a surface material can be done instead of on the basis of a plastic film with other carriers or laminates.
- a fabric or a leather blank can be back-injected.
- the back-injection of a surface material has the advantage that the flexibility of the back-injected area is maintained. This is particularly advantageous if the segment provided with a surface refinement is located in the area of the exit surface of the gas bag of the gas bag module.
- the plastic film represents the vehicle occupant facing surface of the considered segment. It may be provided to use special, high scratch resistance having film types as a styling surface. This is particularly advantageous for high-gloss and smooth surfaces.
- the individual segments are connected to each other after attaching a surface finish on at least one of the segments. This has the advantage that the transition between the different segments due to the connection of the individual segments is clearly separated from each other only after applying a surface finish. The individual segments are thus clearly and clearly demarcated.
- a surface refinement in the form of a film or the like can furthermore have the advantage that the surface finishing conceals the mechanical interfaces or the mechanical connection provided between them by two segments.
- the optically and / or haptically different surfaces of the segments which form the visible surface of the gas bag module can be provided with further components, for example with emblems or ornamental elements. These are glued, for example, on a provided with a surface finish segment. The connection can be through, for example thermal welding, gluing, locking, etc. take place.
- emblems or decorative elements By attaching such emblems or decorative elements on conventionally formed visible surfaces, however, no optically and / or haptically different surfaces are provided in the sense of the present invention, since such emblems and decorative elements do not directly form the surface of a considered segment and on the other hand only partial areas of the visible surface cover a segment.

- the cap 100 has in the illustrated embodiment, a plurality of segments for which a color and / or surface selection can be made independently.
- the modular cap 100 has an upper segment 110 (also referred to as a "cap segment 12 o'clock"), a lower cap segment 120 (also referred to as a “6 o'clock cap segment”), a central cap segment 130 (also referred to as a "central disc”). and an optional trim ring 140.
- an emblem 150 is provided that is centrally applied to the central segment 130, such as by welding, gluing, or latching.
- the cap segments 1 10, 120, 130, 140 are produced separately, optionally provided with different colors, gloss values and / or surface materials and then interconnected via connection interfaces.
- FIG. 2 shows the inside of the central segment 130 facing away from the visible surface.
- a central, plane region 131 can be seen, which serves to receive the emblem 150.
- the central segment 130 is circular in shape and, in a likewise circular arrangement adjacent to its circumference, has a plurality of connecting elements 132 which protrude from the central disc 110 and are designed, for example, as welding domes.
- FIG. 3 shows the inner side of the upper segment 1 10 facing away from the viewing area.
- the upper segment 110 forms both an interface 11a for connecting the upper segment 110 to the central segment 130 and also an interface 110b for connecting the upper segment 1 10 with the lower segment 120 off.
- the interface 1 10a for connection to the central segment 130 is formed by an annular, planar formed region 11 having a plurality of recesses 12 which are connected to the welding domes 132 of the central segment 130 correspond.
- the attachment takes place by means of ultrasonic welding, so that there is a mechanically irreversible connection that can not disengage.
- the upper segment 1 10 further has as second interface 1 10b for connection to the lower segment 120 along a semicircle 1 1 1a of the annular portion 1 11 a plurality of form-locking elements in the form of
- the projections 1 13 and locking elements 1 14 extend in addition to two edge portions 1 15, 1 16 of the upper segment
- the interface 110b for connection to the lower segment 120 is detachably designed in the sense that the mechanical connection provided by the interface 11a can be released by the action of a force the snapping the mechanical connection forming positive locking elements.
- the interface 1 10a thus forms together with the corresponding interface of the lower segment 120 a tear line, along which the cap can tear in the event of triggering.
- the upper cap segment 1 10 further has two attachment surfaces 1 18, 1 19, which serve to connect to a generator carrier of the gas bag module, as will be explained with reference to FIG 7.
- the cap 100 and its individual segments 1 10-140 can be arched and have areas extending away from the vehicle occupant.
- the upper segment 110 and the lower segment 120 extend away from the vehicle occupant starting from a region facing the vehicle occupant, which adjoins the central segment 130.
- FIG. 4 shows the upper segment 110, the lower segment 120 and the central segment
- a connection of upper segment 110, lower segment 120 and central segment 130 after attachment of a surface refinement to one or more or all of the segments 1 10-130 can take place via the two interfaces 11a, 110b.
- FIG. 5 shows an enlarged view of the two interfaces 1 10a, 1 10b of the upper segment 1 10 and an interface 120a of the lower segment 120. It can be seen that the locking elements 14 protrude an edge 121 of the lower segment 120 latching and together with the projections 113 projecting into recesses 122 of the lower segment 120 provide a positive connection.
- the edge 121 and the recesses 122 of the lower segment 120 form the mechanical interface 120a of the lower segment 120, which together with the interface 1 10b of the upper segment 1 10 forms a releasable, namely disengageable mechanical connection between the two segments 1 10, 120 ,
- the interfaces 1 10b, 120a and the mechanical connection formed by these are designed such that an opening of the mechanical connection occurs at forces acting on the cap 100 during the deployment of an airbag.
- FIG. 6 shows the lower segment 120 without further segment parts.
- the semicircular edge 121 and the recesses 122 and the mechanical interface 120a formed by them can be seen.
- an additional, conventional tear-open edge 123 may be provided in the lower segment 120.
- the lower segment 120 further has two attachment surfaces 126, 127, which serve to connect to a generator carrier of the gas bag module, as will be explained with reference to FIG.
- a modular cap 100 is provided, which comprises a plurality of segments 1 10, 120, 130, 140, which can be prepared separately and provided with a surface refinement separately.
- the surface finishing can be done for example by means of a plastic film.
- the connection of the plastic film to a segment takes place before the segment is connected to other segments.
- the connection can be made, for example, by gluing, hot stamping, etc.
- the plastic film is back-injected to form a common unit of plastic film and segment with an injection-moldable plastic, which then forms the main body of the segment.
- the segment has a smooth, high-gloss surface due to the plastic film.
- the film has a high scratch resistance.
- the segment in question forms a styling area of the visible surface due to the surface finishing.
- a plastic film as a surface finish can additionally cover the mechanical interfaces or the connection area between the individual segments. An aesthetically disadvantageous optical recognizability of the connection region is thereby prevented.
- surface refinement examples include lacquering, a particular coloration, the provision of different materials such as plastic, fabric and leather and / or the provision of different matting or gloss values.
- a surface material for example a plastic film, a fabric or a leather blank is back-injected with a plastic.
- the provided interfaces for connecting the individual segments of the cap 100 can be used variably.
- the interface formed on the upper segment 110 instead of for connection to the central segment 130 is used for fastening the decorative ring 140 shown in FIG.
- the trim ring 140 is thereby connected by means of appropriate welding dome with the upper segment 1 10, according to the above description.
- the central segment 130 is now connected to the trim ring 140 in this case, for example glued to this.
- the central segment 130 has a smaller diameter than the embodiment in that no decorative ring 140 is provided.
- FIG. 7 shows an airbag module in an exploded view.
- cap 100 which comprises the central cap segment 130, the ornamental ring 140, the upper cap segment 110 and the lower cap segment 120, a diffuser 200, a generator carrier 300 and a gas generator 400 are further illustrated.
- the generator carrier 300 serves for fastening and mechanical connection of the parts of the gas bag module. He is firmly connected to the vehicle structure.
- the diffuser 200 has on the underside of a circumferential, lower flange 21 1 elongated projections 215 which project through openings 315 in the generator support 300 in the assembled state, which further penetrate openings 415 in a flange 41 1 of the gas generator 400 and screwed by means of nuts 410 are. As a result, the diffuser 200, the generator carrier 300 and the gas generator 400 are firmly connected to each other.
- the diffuser 200 starting from the circumferential, lower flange 211, is substantially pot-shaped with a lid region 212 and lateral struts 213 with intermediate spaces 214 therebetween.
- the generator carrier 300 has lateral receiving surfaces 326, 327 which serve to connect to the attachment surfaces 126, 127 of the lower capping segment 120 (see also FIG. Likewise, receiving surfaces 318, 319 on the generator carrier
- Cape segments 1 10 serve (see also Figure 3).
- the attachment takes place for example via corresponding positive locking elements and / or riveting or screwing.
- rivets 210 are shown by way of example in FIG. Both the upper cap segment 1 10 and the lower cap segment 120 are thus fastened fixedly and not detachably directly to the generator carrier 300 on their region facing away from the central cap segment 130.
- the detachably configured connection between the upper segment 110 and the lower segment 120, which passes through the interfaces 110b, 120a is formed, separated.
- the interfaces 1 10b, 120a provide predetermined breaking points or tear lines of the cap 100, which open when the cap 100 is opened when triggered, so that the deploying gas bag can exit the module.
- the two caps 1 10, 120 are thereby either partially or completely separated. In the latter case, the two cap segments 1 10, 120 are completely separated from each other. But they are still connected to the generator support 300 so that they pose no danger to the person to be protected and not on separate means, such as tethers, must be kept on the generator support 300.
- the opening of the cap 100 is thus achieved by the partial or complete disengagement of the interfaces 1 10 b, 120 a of the upper segment 1 10 and the lower segment 120.
- the central cap segment remains 130 in any case in one embodiment on the upper cap segment 1 10, since the mechanical connection between these segments is not solvable. This in turn prevents that the central segment 1 10 can endanger a vehicle occupant to be protected.
- the decorative ring 140 which is also inseparably connected together with the central cap segment 130 with the upper cap segment 1 10.
- FIG. 8 shows the gas bag module in a partially cutaway view. The section runs in the region of the upper cap segment 1 10.
- FIG. 8 shows in the sectional view of FIG. 8, the central cap segment 130, the decorative ring 140 and its connection to the annular region 11 of the upper cap segment 1 10 are shown via the connecting elements 132. Furthermore, the diffuser 200, the generator carrier 300 and the gas generator 400 can be seen.
- the gas bag is located in the region between the diffuser 200 and the cap 100, wherein the gas bag is typically clamped between the flange 21 1 of the diffuser 200 and the generator carrier 300.
- FIG. 9 shows in the upper row a steering wheel with a steering wheel rim 160, steering wheel spokes 170 and a steering wheel hub, in the region of which the gas bag module is arranged and which is covered by the modular cap 100 which forms the visible surface of the module.
- a central segment 130 is surface-finished.
- both a central segment 130 'are surface-finished and a decorative ring 140 is provided. This can be seen in the lower row of Figure 9 in the right perspective sectional view.
- the central segment 130 'in this case has a smaller diameter than in the implementation without trim ring 140, which is shown in the lower row of Figure 9 on the left.
- cap 100 Assemble shapes and sizes of cap 100 and / or a module housing area.
- the visible surface may be formed by otherwise shaped segments or the connection of the individual segments in other ways than described.
- the present invention has been explained with reference to a driver's gas bag module, but the invention can also be implemented in other gas bag modules with a visible surface, in particular a passenger gas bag module or a knee gas bag module.
