The clutch torque plate 304 contacts the clutch base 304 through the friction protrusion 3044. 5 or the clutch stator 303 generate friction; the friction protrusion 3044 is an integral structure stamped or cast on the inner friction plate 3041.

In addition, the transmission wheel 301 and the spindle assembly 500 can also be fixed to the spindle assembly 500 by a key connection or the like; an annular protrusion 3031 is provided on the end surface of the clutch fixing plate 303 facing away from the main gear 900, and a plurality of inner friction plates 3041 are inserted into the annular protrusion 3031. In the inner ring of 31, the friction protrusion 3044 abuts against the inner ring of the annular protrusion 3031; a plurality of external fixing grooves 3051 are opened on the side of the clutch base 305 close to the clutch torque plate 304, and the number of the external fixing grooves 3051 is the same as the number of the external fixing plates 3042. The external fixing plates 3042 of the clutch torque plate 304 are correspondingly plugged and fixed in the external fixing grooves 3051 of the clutch base 305; an arc-shaped protrusion plate is provided on the inner side of the arc surface between each two adjacent external fixing grooves 3051, and an internal fixing groove is formed between each two adjacent arc-shaped protrusion plates. 3052, the inner friction plate 3041 of the clutch torque plate 304 is correspondingly inserted into the inner fixed groove 3052.

The plurality of wedge-shaped clamping blocks 904 jointly limit the clutch fixing plate 303 to one side of the main gear 900. When clamped, the clutch fixing plate 303 can rotate relative to the main gear 900. The working principle of this solution is that the main gear 900 rotates relative to the clutch fixing plate 303 under the drive of the motor 600, and the locking mechanism is locked at the main gear 900. Under the action, it contacts and engages with the transmission wheel 301, and the clutch fixing plate 303 and the clutch torque plate 304 are interference fit and friction is generated between the two. The clutch torque plate 304 is fixed on the clutch base 305, thereby providing friction formed by torque to the clutch fixing plate 303. This friction force causes the clutch fixing plate 303 and the main gear 900 to rotate relative to each other. When the locking is completed, the main gear 900 pushes the clutch fixing plate 303 to break through the friction provided by the clutch torque plate 304, thereby realizing that the main gear 900 drives the clutch fixing plate 303 to rotate continuously.

In another possible form, a plurality of external fixing grooves 3051 are provided on the end surface of the clutch fixing plate 303 facing away from the main gear 900.

A plurality of inner friction plates 3041 are plugged into the inner ring of the annular protrusion 3031, and the friction protrusion 3044 abuts against the inner ring of the annular protrusion 3031. On the above; the operating principle of this embodiment is that the main gear 900 rotates relative to the clutch fixing plate 303 under the drive of the motor 600, and the locking mechanism contacts and engages with the transmission wheel 301 under the action of the main gear 900. The clutch fixing plate 303 and the clutch base 305 have an interference fit and friction is generated between the two. The clutch torque plate 304 is fixed on the clutch fixing plate 303, thereby providing friction formed by torque to the clutch fixing plate 303. The friction force causes the clutch fixing plate 303 and the main gear 900 to rotate relative to each other. When the locking is completed, the main gear 900 pushes the clutch fixing plate 303 to break through the friction provided by the clutch torque plate 304, thereby realizing that the main gear 900 drives the clutch fixing plate 303 to rotate continuously.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, a friction plate clutch assembly or a spring clutch assembly of the seat belt retractor is selectively used, and the locking mechanisms of the two have the following two different schemes.
[0065] In some optional embodiments, a locking mechanism of the first scheme includes a main gear 900, a transmission wheel 301, a locking block 302, a return spring 307 and a clutch fixing plate 303; a guide chamber is provided on one end face of the main gear 900, one end of the clutch fixing plate 303 is embedded in the guide chamber, and the inner ring of the main gear 900 is provided with at least one locking trigger protrusion 907, and each locking trigger protrusion 907 is correspondingly provided with a locking block 302; one end of the locking block 302 is rotatably connected to the clutch fixing plate 303, and the other end of the locking block 302 abuts against one end of the return spring 307, and the other end of the return spring 307 abuts against The clutch fixing plate 303 is provided with a combination of the main gear 900 and the clutch fixing plate 303 on the outer peripheral side of the transmission wheel 301; when the main gear 900 rotates forward relative to the clutch fixing plate 303, the locking trigger protrusion 907 pushes the locking block 302 to rotate until it is in contact with the transmission wheel 301; when the main gear 900 rotates reversely relative to the clutch fixing plate 303, the locking block 302 rotates to a state of disengagement from the transmission wheel 301 under the action of the return spring 307; the locking trigger protrusion 907 is a cubic protrusion formed by the inner ring of the main gear 900 protruding toward the center of its circle. There are two locking blocks 302, and the corresponding locking trigger protrusions There are also two gears 907, and two locking blocks 302 are symmetrically arranged on the outer peripheral side of the transmission wheel 301. The outer peripheral side of the main gear 900 is provided with an outer ring gear 903. During use, the output shaft of the motor 600 is engaged with the outer ring gear 903 on the main gear 900 through the reduction mechanism assembly 200. Preferably, the return spring 307 is a torsion spring, and the installation of the torsion spring takes up little space. The outer ring gear 903 of the main gear 900 has an involute tooth profile. A spline groove 3011 is provided on the inner side of the transmission wheel 301, and the spline groove 3011 is used to achieve a fixed connection between the transmission wheel 301 and the core shaft assembly 500. The core shaft assembly 500 is used to achieve the retraction of the seat belt; The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows: the main gear 900 rotates relative to the clutch fixing plate 303 under the drive of the motor 600, and the locking block 302 is pushed by the locking trigger protrusion 907 to contact and engage with the transmission wheel 301.

When the one-way clutch spring 306 rotates in one direction, the inner ring gradually shrinks and generates friction with the clutch base 305.Both of the above methods can provide frictional force generated by torque to the clutch fixing plate 303. This frictional force causes the clutch fixing plate 303 and the main gear 900 to rotate relative to each other. When the locking transmission between the locking block 302 and the transmission wheel 301 is completed, the main gear 900 pushes the clutch fixing plate 303 to break through the frictional force provided by the clutch torque plate or the one-way clutch spring 306, thereby achieving continuous rotation of the clutch fixing plate 303 driven by the main gear 900. The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the locking block 302 provided in this embodiment rotates under the push of the locking trigger protrusion 907, so that the locking block 302 gradually stabilizes and engages with the transmission wheel 301 during use as the main gear 900 rotates relative to the clutch fixing plate 303.

Between the clutch support 309 and the clutch fixing plate 303, preferably, the first limiting hole 3091 and the second limiting hole 3092 are both circular holes. By setting the clutch support 309, a limiting effect is played on the locking block 302, the return spring 307 and the locking fixing plate 308, thereby avoiding axial movement of the three in the axial direction of the transmission wheel 301; when there are multiple locking blocks 302, the multiple locking blocks 302 are arranged in a circular array with equal intervals around the axis of the transmission wheel 301.
