Vehicle and passenger protection system thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a passenger protection system of a vehicle. The system includes a cushion member configured to be extendable from a stowed initial position at least when a side collision of thevehicle occurs, and to be deployed between a seat of the vehicle and an armrest box of the vehicle to a protection position providing cushion support to an passenger; a supporting part which is arranged in the armrest box, wherein the supporting part is configured to be capable of moving upwards relative to the armrest box from a built-in position to at least partially extend out of the armrest box at least when the vehicle is subjected to side collision, and the supporting part extending out of the armrest box is provided with a first support surface which is in contact with the unfolded buffer part and provides support for the unfolded buffer part. The passenger protection system can improve the safety coefficient of passengers and greatly reduce the strength requirement and design difficulty of the seat, and is simple in overall structure and convenient to install and arrange. The invention further provides the vehicle with the passenger protection system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a vehicle and an occupant protection system thereof. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of vehicle technology, in the current side collision of vehicles, the protection technology for occupants on the impact side (near-end occupants, that is, occupants seated near the side where the side collision occurs) has been relatively mature, but for non-impact side occupants The occupant protection was consistently not taken seriously. Studies have shown that in the event of a side collision, the casualty rate of far-end occupants (that is, occupants seated relatively far away from the side where the side collision occurs) is almost the same as that of near-end occupants; therefore, how to protect the far-end occupants in side collision accidents is an urgent problem to be solved. [0003] For the above-mentioned technical problems, the solution proposed in t...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in actual application, the protection device proposed by the above-mentioned prior art is not only inconvenient to install, but also difficult to form a good support on the seat, and often needs to be connected to the seat through auxiliary connectors such as drawstrings, so that when unfolded Ensure a stable support, which leads to the existing protection device with high requirements for the strength design of the seat
