Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of automobile safety airbags, in particular to a folding method of a novel automobile side safety airbag.

Background

Since the vehicle body intrusion amount and the intrusion speed are high in the side pillar collision test, it is required that the vehicle body strength is sufficient firstly, and that the thickness of the side airbag is sufficiently large and the protection region is sufficiently large to cover the shoulder, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. However, during the actual side column crash test, it often occurs that the dummy's arms squeeze the chest, resulting in an excessive chest compression. Therefore, the applicant invents a novel folding method of the side airbag bag of the automobile, so that the side airbag bag can quickly lift the dummy arm when being unfolded when a side column collision occurs, and the situation that the dummy arm extrudes the chest to cause the chest compression amount to exceed the standard is avoided.

Disclosure of Invention

The technical problem to be solved by the invention is as follows: aiming at the defects of the prior art, a novel folding method of an air bag of a side airbag of an automobile is provided.

The technical problem to be solved by the invention can be realized by adopting the following technical scheme:

Detailed Description

In order to make the technical means, the creation characteristics, the achievement purposes and the effects of the invention easy to understand, the invention is further explained below by combining the specific drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, there is shown a side airbag 100 of the present invention, which includes an airbag body 110, a division bar 120, and an air guide bag body 130, the division bar 120 being disposed in the airbag body 110 and dividing an inflation chamber of the airbag body 110 into an upper inflation chamber 110a and a lower inflation chamber 110b, an inflation volume of the upper inflation chamber 110a being greater than an inflation volume of the lower inflation chamber 110b, four vent holes 121 being spaced apart from each other on the division bar 120, the air guide bag body 130 being disposed in the lower inflation chamber 110b of the airbag body 110, two air guide holes 131 being spaced apart from each other on the air guide bag body 130, and an exhaust hole 111 being disposed on the lower inflation chamber 110b of the airbag body 110. It should be noted that: the number of the vent holes 121 on the separation strip 120 and the number of the air guide holes 131 on the air guide bag body 130 are not limited to the number in the embodiment, and the number, the shape and the size of the vent holes can be designed according to the actual situation of the vehicle model, so as to achieve the optimal protection effect. In addition, two bolt positioning holes 112 for mounting the gas generator are provided in the region of the rear surface of the air bag body 110 located in the lower inflating chamber 110 b.

The folding method of the novel automobile side safety airbag air bag comprises the following steps:

in step S10, referring to fig. 2, the sewn side airbag 100 is placed on a plane with the side of the side airbag 100 where the bolt positioning hole 112 is opened facing downward.

Step S20, inserting the protruding portion 101 with the vent hole 111 in the side airbag bag 100 into the side airbag bag 100, i.e., into the direction a, as shown in fig. 3; then, the bulging portion 101 inserted into the interior is pulled back toward B so that the edge of the bulging portion 101 coincides in alignment with the edge of the side airbag bag 100, i.e., assuming that the lines 201, 202 coincide, as shown in fig. 4.

In step S30, referring to fig. 4, the upper right projecting portion 102 of the side airbag bag 100 is folded in the left direction, i.e., the C direction, along the longitudinal folding line 301, as shown in fig. 5.

In step S40, referring to fig. 5, the upper shoulder region part 103 of the side airbag bag 100 is folded down along the lateral fold line 302, as shown in fig. 6.

Step S50, referring to fig. 6, the folded upper half shoulder region part 103 is folded back in the reverse direction upward, i.e., D direction, along the transverse fold line 303, as shown in fig. 7; steps S40 and S50 fold the upper half shoulder region portion 103 of the side airbag bag 100 in a Z-fold manner.

In step S60, referring to fig. 7, the lower pelvis region portion 104 of the side airbag bag 100 is folded upward along the lateral fold line 304, as shown in fig. 8.

Step S70, referring to fig. 8, turning the folded lower pelvic region 104 in the opposite direction, i.e., downward toward direction E, along the transverse fold line 305, completing the preliminary folding, as shown in fig. 9; step S60 and step S70 fold the lower pelvis region 104 of the side airbag bag 100 in a Z-fold manner. Fig. 10 is a simplified view of the side airbag package 100 in the F direction.

In step S80, referring to fig. 11, the preliminarily folded side airbag 100 is inverted and placed on a plane with the side of the side airbag 100 where the bolt positioning hole 112 is opened facing upward.

In step S90, referring to fig. 11, the right side portion of the preliminarily folded side airbag 100 is folded in the left direction, i.e., in the direction of G, along the longitudinal folding line 306, as shown in fig. 12.

In step S100, referring to fig. 12, the right side portion of the side airbag is folded in the left direction, i.e., in the H direction, along the longitudinal folding line 307, and the final folding is completed, as shown in fig. 13. Fig. 14 is a simplified view of the folded side airbag 100 in the direction I.

Referring to fig. 15, when the side airbag 100 is burst to act, a large amount of high-pressure gas generated from the gas generator enters the gas guide pocket 130 and inflates the lower inflation chamber 110b along the two gas guide holes 131, so that the right protrusion 101 (corresponding to a position under the dummy arm) of the lower inflation chamber 110b of the bag body 110 rapidly deploys toward the lower side of the dummy arm, thereby functioning to preferentially and rapidly lift the dummy arm, as shown in fig. 15 and 16; gas continues to fill the upper inflation chamber 110a of the bag body 110 along the four vent holes 121 until the side airbag bag 100 is fully inflated to the open condition. By adopting the folding method, the side airbag 100 can be preferentially unfolded to form the right protruding part 101 of the lower inflation chamber 110b (corresponding to the position of the dummy arm), so that the dummy arm can be quickly lifted, the situation that the chest compression amount exceeds the standard due to the chest compression of the dummy arm is effectively avoided, and the injury is reduced.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, which are described in the specification and illustrated only to illustrate the principle of the present invention, but that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
