AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Deploying the safety canopy when a crash or rollover is not imminent reduces passenger satisfaction
In addition, occupant satisfaction is further reduced if occupants have to replace a non-resettable restraint system in the absence of a crash or rollover
Existing methods of deploying occupant restraint systems do not effectively use and reset resettable restraint systems such as overhead vehicle occupant restraints

Embodiment Construction

[0025] Although the following specific implementation methods refer to exemplary embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that there will be many substitutions, modifications and changes. Therefore, it is necessary to take a broader view of the subject to be protected by the claims.

[0026] Reference attachment Figure 1-8 , Where similar reference numerals denote the same or corresponding parts in all of these drawings, in which exemplary overhead vehicle passenger restraint systems 10, 410, and 540 are shown. The systems 10, 410, and 540 can be used in various types of vehicles, including small / large vehicles, coupes, cars, convertibles, trucks, vans, small vans, or sport utility vehicles. In some embodiments, vehicles with sunroofs include a roof vehicle passenger restraint system (or OVORS). Another recognized name for OVORS can be the top passenger protection system (or OOPS). The OVORS helps reduce passengers being thrown through the sunroof during a rollo...

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an overhead vehicle occupant restraint system. Exemplary overhead vehicle occupant restraint systems include a panel (420) configured to deploy and retract with respect to a vehicle roof (40), an electric motor (430) configured to deploy and / or retract the panel and a control circuit configured to control deployment of the panel according to a first predetermined condition and to control retraction the panel according to a second predetermined condition.

Description

[0001] The present invention is a partial continuation application of U.S. Patent 11 / 907298 entitled "Vehicle Rollover Prediction with Activated Passenger Restraint System", which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a restraint system for vehicle occupants, and more particularly to restraint systems used in vehicle rollover collisions. Background technique [0003] People have regarded vehicle rollover accidents as the primary task of research and regulation. During a rollover collision, it is necessary to avoid throwing passengers wearing seat belts through side windows (called glass windows in some processes). The same thing to avoid is that passengers are thrown from the sunroof of the vehicle. [0004] Various roll detection methods have been developed to activate passenger restraint devices, such as airbags, side air curtains, safety tops, seat belt pretensioners, and pop-up roll stabilizers. Most methods include moni...
