Technical Field
The present invention relates to a folding method of a distal airbag apparatus, and more particularly, to a folding method of a distal airbag apparatus capable of preventing an airbag cushion from interfering with a driver's body when the airbag cushion is deployed.
Background
Generally, a vehicle includes an airbag installed to protect an occupant. Airbags are installed in a variety of locations depending on the body part to be protected by the airbag. The distal airbag is disposed between the driver seat and the passenger seat. When a side collision occurs, the distal airbag deploys upward to prevent a collision between the driver and a passenger sitting beside the driver. The distal airbag has a large size and volume so as to be restrained from bending toward the passenger seat when the passenger seat is empty.
However, the distal side airbag according to the related art includes an air cushion whose bottom is wide enough to restrain the body of the driver. Therefore, when the inside of the distal airbag is folded, the distal airbag may interfere with the arm and body of the driver when deployed.
Further, when the upper portion of the distal airbag is folded once to avoid interference with the arm and the body or to control the deployment direction, the size of the airbag package may increase, making the assembly of the airbag device difficult.
Therefore, a device capable of solving this problem is required.
Disclosure of Invention
Embodiments relate to a folding method of a distal airbag device capable of preventing an airbag cushion from interfering with a driver's body when the airbag cushion is deployed.
In one embodiment, a method of folding a distal airbag device may include: a first folding step of folding the upper portion of the airbag panel inward; a second folding step of folding the two lateral sides of the airbag panel to the outside; a third folding step of folding the upper portion of the airbag sheet inward; and a fourth folding step of roll-folding the airbag sheet.
The second folding step may include forming the second folded portion by turning over the upper folded airbag panel and then folding both sides of the airbag panel.
The second folded portion may be folded to the outside.
In the second folding step, the second folded portion formed at one side of the airbag panel may have a different lateral length from the second folded portion formed at the other side of the airbag panel.
The third folding step may include forming a third folded portion by turning over again the airbag sheet turned over in the second folding step and then folding an upper portion of the airbag sheet.
The third folded portion may be folded inwardly.
The flap can be inverted again by bending and rotating the flap towards the rear of the fixing stud.
The fourth folding step may include roll folding the airbag panel outboard.
The folding method may further include a tether mounting step of passing an upper portion of the tether through the airbag panel and fixing both sides of the tether to the fixing studs before the first folding step.
In the tether mounting step, the tether may pass through the inactive region of the airbag panel and be disposed on the inner side of the airbag panel via the upper portion of the airbag panel.
The inactive area may be formed inside and on the top of the airbag panel such that the tether passes through the inactive area.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the folded portion of the airbag panel is released and expanded to the outside, it is possible to prevent the airbag cushion from interfering with the arm and body of the driver when the airbag cushion is expanded.
Further, since the airbag sheet can be prevented from interfering with the body of the driver when the airbag sheet is deployed, the deployment and protection performance of the airbag cushion can be ensured.
