[0034] In addition, if the terms "first", "second" and the like are used herein, they are merely used to distinguish one entity from another, and do not imply a relative importance.

[0035] It should be noted that the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0036] The gas generator is a gas supply component of the automobile passive safety airbag device, which provides non-harmful gas when the safety airbag device functions, ensures the integrity of the airbag, and provides protection for the driver or passenger. In general, when a cylindrical filter screen is used to build a combustion chamber, the filter screen filters the residues flowing through it, but after the gas generator is started, the top and bottom shells deform, the filter screen shifts, and the upper and lower end faces of the filter screen and the top and bottom of the shell form gaps. Residues directly reach the gas outlet holes provided on the shell from the area outside the filter screen and inside the shell through these gaps, which damages the airbag.

[0037] The anti-leakage device in the related art has the problems of poor anti-leakage effect and reduced effective utilization rate of the filter screen.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The safety airbag provided in the embodiment includes a gas bag and a gas generator 100, and the gas generator is arranged inside the gas bag. The safety airbag can effectively improve the technical problems mentioned above. It can effectively prevent gas and residues from leaking from the gap between the shell and the filter screen 30, improve the anti-leakage effect, and at the same time, will not affect the utilization rate of the filter screen 30, and the use effect is better.

[0039] Specifically, the gas generator 100 includes an igniter 50 and a gas generating agent 60. After the gas generator 100 is started, the igniter 50 ignites the gas generating agent 60 to generate a large amount of gas and residues, the internal pressure of the gas generator 100 increases, and most of the gas enters the gas bag through the gas generator 100 to fill it, so that the gas bag expands.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-5 The gas generator 100 provided in the embodiment includes an upper shell 10, a lower shell 20, a filter screen 30, and a blocking piece 40. The upper shell 10 is provided with an exhaust hole 11. The lower shell 20 is connected with the upper shell 10, and the lower shell 20 and the upper shell 10 form a combustion chamber. The exhaust hole 11 and the combustion chamber are in communication. The filter screen 30 is arranged in the combustion chamber, and the filter screen 30 abuts against the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 at the same time. The filter screen 30 covers the exhaust hole 11. The blocking piece 40 is arranged between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30. The blocking piece 40 is used to block the upper gap 101 formed between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and the lower gap 102 formed between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30 in the case that the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 deform.

[0041] Specifically, in the prior art, after the gas generator is started, the internal pressure of the gas generator increases, causing the upper shell and the lower shell to deform and form gaps at both ends of the filter screen, and the gas with residues leaks from the gaps into the gas bag, thereby damaging the gas bag. To solve this technical problem, the gas generator 100 provided in the embodiment is provided with a blocking piece 40 between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30 when in use. After the gas generator 100 is started, the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 deform, forming an upper gap 101 between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and a lower gap 102 between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30. The blocking piece 40 can block the upper gap 101 and the lower gap 102, preventing the gas in the combustion chamber from leaking from the upper gap 101 and the lower gap 102, effectively reducing the amount of residues flowing out from the side, reducing damage to the gas bag, improving the anti-leakage effect, and at the same time, the blocking piece 40 does not affect the utilization rate of the filter screen 30, and the use effect is better.

[0042] In the embodiment, the exhaust hole 11 is covered with a sealing foil 70.

[0043] Specifically, the top end of the filter screen 30 abuts against the upper shell 10, and the bottom end of the filter screen 30 abuts against the lower shell 20. After the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 deform, the top end of the filter screen 30 and the upper shell 10 form an upper gap 101, and the bottom end of the filter screen 30 and the lower shell 20 form a lower gap 102.

[0044] In the embodiment, the blocking piece 40 has a blocking surface 401 for blocking the upper gap 101 formed between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and the lower gap 102 formed between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30 when the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 deform. The blocking surface 401 can block the gas with residues from passing through the upper gap 101 or the lower gap 102 and apply a reverse force to the gas, causing the gas to flow in the opposite direction.

[0045] It should be noted that the blocking surface 401 is a flat surface and / or an inclined surface and / or an arc surface and / or a zigzag surface.

[0046] Figures 1-2 The structure diagram of the first embodiment of the blocking piece 40 is shown, and the blocking piece 40 of the embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The blocking piece 40 includes an upper blocking piece 41 and a lower blocking piece 42. The upper blocking piece 41 is integrally formed with the upper shell 10, and the lower blocking piece 42 is integrally formed with the lower shell 20.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the upper barrier 41 comprises an upper supporting portion 411 and an upper abutting portion 412, the upper supporting portion 411 and the upper abutting portion 412 are connected, the blocking surface 401 is arranged on the upper abutting portion 412 and is arranged towards the direction away from the lower shell 20, the upper supporting portion 411 can support the shape of the blocking surface 401, the outer surface of the filter screen 30 is provided with a first protrusion, and the upper abutting portion 412 and the first protrusion abut. Specifically, the first protrusion is arranged on the outer side wall of the filter screen 30.

[0049] Specifically, the first protrusion is arranged at the position close to the top end of the filter screen 30, the first protrusion and the upper abutting portion 412 abut, in the case that the upper shell 10 is deformed to deform upwards (F in the figure is the force of the upper shell 10 deformed upwards), the first protrusion abuts against the upper abutting portion 412 downwards, so that the upper abutting portion 412 and the first protrusion always abut together, thereby forming a block between the upper gap 101 and the exhaust hole 11, avoiding the gas with residues from the upper gap 101 leaking into the exhaust hole 11.

[0050] More, the upper abutting portion 412 can also limit the displacement of the filter screen 30, ensuring that the top end of the filter screen 30 can still abut against the upper shell 10 after the gas generator 100 is started, and the upper gap 101 is not formed.

[0051] It also needs to be explained that the upper supporting portion 411 and the upper abutting portion 412 are arranged at an angle, and the connection between the upper supporting portion 411 and the upper abutting portion 412 abuts against the first protrusion.

[0052] Similarly, the lower barrier 42 comprises a lower supporting portion 421 and a lower abutting portion 422, the lower supporting portion 421 and the lower abutting portion 422 are connected and arranged at an angle, the blocking surface 401 is arranged on the lower abutting portion 422 and is arranged towards the direction away from the upper shell 10, the lower supporting portion 421 can support the shape of the blocking surface 401, the filter screen 30 is provided with a second protrusion at the position close to the bottom end, and the second protrusion and the lower abutting portion 422 abut. Specifically, the second protrusion is arranged on the outer side wall of the filter screen 30.

[0053] In the case that the lower shell 20 is deformed to deform downwards (F in the figure is the force of the lower shell 20 deformed downwards), the second protrusion abuts against the lower abutting portion 422 upwards, so that the lower abutting portion 422 and the second protrusion always abut together, thereby forming a block between the lower gap 102 and the exhaust hole 11, avoiding the gas with residues from the lower gap 102 leaking into the exhaust hole 11.

[0054] After the gas generator 100 is started, the igniter 50 ignites the gas generating agent 60 to generate a large amount of gas and residues, the pressure in the gas generator 100 increases, most of the gas is filtered through the filter screen 30 and then enters the airbag through the exhaust hole 11, at this time, the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are deformed under the action of the pressure, so that the two ends of the filter screen 30 form an upper gap 101 and a lower gap 102 between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 respectively, the upper abutting portion 412 and the lower abutting portion 422 of the blocking piece 40 abut with the filter screen 30 respectively, forming a block on the side of the gas generator 100 while avoiding the displacement of the filter screen 30 in the axial direction, so that the filter screen 30 always abuts with the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20, forcing the gas flowing to the side to directly impact the blocking surface 401, and the gas is intercepted by the blocking surface 401 and then diverted, thereby guiding the gas to the filter screen 30 for filtration and finally entering the exhaust hole 11. The gas generator 100 can maximize the effective utilization rate of the filter screen 30, while intercepting the gas flowing to the upper gap 101 and the lower gap 102, effectively reducing the amount of residues flowing from the side, reducing the damage to the airbag, and improving the anti-leakage effect.

[0055] Figures 3-4 The structural schematic diagram of the second embodiment of the blocking piece 40 is shown, and the blocking piece 40 of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the blocking piece 40 includes an upper cover 43 and a lower blocking piece 42, the upper cover 43 is arranged in the combustion chamber, and the upper cover 43 is connected with the top end of the filter screen 30, the upper cover 43 is used to block the gap formed between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 in the case of deformation of the upper shell 10, and the lower blocking piece 42 is integrally formed with the filter screen 30, and the lower blocking piece 42 is used to block the gap formed between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30 in the case of deformation of the lower shell 20.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lower blocking piece 42 includes a lower supporting portion 421 and a lower abutting portion 422, the lower supporting portion 421 and the lower abutting portion 422 are arranged at intervals, the blocking surface 401 is arranged on the lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 respectively, and the blocking surface 401 is arranged in a direction away from the upper shell 10, and the end of the lower supporting portion 421 and the end of the lower abutting portion 422 both abut with the lower shell 20.

[0058] Specifically, the lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 are both arranged on the outer side wall of the filter screen 30.

[0059] In the present embodiment, the lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 can intercept the gas flowing to the lower gap 102 multiple times, and in the case that the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are deformed upward and downward respectively (F in the figure is the force acting on the upper shell 10 to deform upward and the force acting on the lower shell 20 to deform downward respectively), the upper cover 43 forms a blockage at the upper gap 101 to intercept the gas flowing to the upper gap 101. The lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 form multiple levels of blockage to intercept the gas flowing to the lower gap 102.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 4 The number of the lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 is multiple, and the multiple lower abutting portions 422 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and the multiple lower supporting portions 421 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction.

[0061] The lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 form a drainage channel 103, so that the gas with residues is diverted after impacting the blocking surface 401 of the lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421, thereby guiding the gas to the filter screen 30 for filtration.

[0062] After the gas generator 100 is started, the igniter 50 ignites the gas generating agent 60 to generate a large amount of gas and residues, the internal pressure of the gas generator 100 increases, most of the gas is filtered through the filter screen 30, and then enters the gas bag through the exhaust hole 11. At this time, the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are deformed under the action of pressure, so that the two ends of the filter screen 30 form an upper gap 101 and a lower gap 102 between the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 respectively, and the upper cover 43 is sleeved on the top end of the filter screen 30 to block the risk of gas leakage from the upper gap 101. When the gas flows to the lower gap 102, the lower abutting portion 422 and the lower supporting portion 421 abut against the inner side wall of the lower shell 20, forming a blockage on the side of the gas generator 100 while avoiding the displacement of the filter screen 30 in the axial direction, so that the filter screen 30 always abuts against the lower shell 20, forcing the gas flowing to the side to directly impact the blocking surface 401 of the lower supporting portion 421 to achieve the first level of flow resistance. After being intercepted by the blocking surface 401, the gas is diverted to impact the blocking surface 401 of the lower abutting portion 422 again through the drainage channel 103 to achieve the second level of flow resistance, forcing the gas to be diverted again and finally guided to the filter screen 30 for filtration, and then entering the exhaust hole 11.

[0063] Figure 5 The structure diagram of the third embodiment of the blocking piece 40 is shown, and the blocking piece 40 of the embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 5The blocking piece 40 comprises a blocking ring 44 sleeved outside the filter screen 30, and the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are both abutted with the blocking ring 44, which is used to block the upper gap 101 between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and the lower gap 102 between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30 in the case that the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are deformed.

[0065] In the embodiment, the outer surface of the blocking ring 44 is outwardly convexly provided with a flow blocking part 45, and the blocking surface 401 is arranged on the flow blocking part 45. The flow blocking part 45 is abutted with the inner side wall of the lower shell 20 or the upper shell 10, thereby intercepting the gas.

[0066] Furthermore, the top end and the bottom end of the blocking ring 44 are both provided with clamping grooves connected with the top end and the bottom end of the filter screen 30 respectively.

[0067] After the gas generator 100 is started, the igniter 50 ignites the gas generating agent 60 to generate a large amount of gas and residues, the internal pressure of the gas generator 100 is increased, most of the gas is filtered through the filter screen 30 and then enters the gas bag through the exhaust hole 11. At this time, the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 are deformed under the action of the pressure, so that the two ends of the filter screen 30 form the upper gap 101 and the lower gap 102 with the upper shell 10 and the lower shell 20 respectively. The two ends of the filter screen 30 are clamped with the blocking ring 44. The flow blocking part 45 of the blocking ring 44 arranged at the top end of the filter screen 30 is abutted with the inner side wall of the upper shell 10, and the flow blocking part 45 of the blocking ring 44 arranged at the bottom end of the filter screen 30 is abutted with the inner side wall of the lower shell 20. The two blocking rings 44 block the risk of gas leakage from the upper gap 101 and the lower gap 102 respectively. When the gas flows to the upper gap 101 and the lower gap 102, the flow blocking part 45 forms a block on the side of the gas generator 100 while avoiding the displacement of the filter screen 30 in the axial direction, so that the filter screen 30 is always abutted with the lower shell 20 and the lower shell 20. The gas flowing to the side is forced to directly impact the blocking surface 401 to achieve flow blocking, the gas is forced to change direction and is drained to the filter screen 30 for filtering, and finally enters the exhaust hole 11.

[0068] The gas generator 100 and the safety airbag provided in the embodiment have at least the following advantages:

[0069] The blocking piece 40 of the gas generator 100 can intercept the gas in the upper gap 101 between the upper shell 10 and the filter screen 30 and the lower gap 102 between the lower shell 20 and the filter screen 30, avoid the gas flowing into the exhaust hole 11 from the side, effectively reduce the amount of residues flowing out from the side, reduce the damage to the airbag, and make the gas generator 100 have better product adaptability.
