Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of safety systems, and in particular to a vehicle seat belt device and a car. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing number of cars, vehicle safety performance is receiving increasing attention. Seatbelts play a crucial role in passive vehicle safety, and current regulations have mandated the use of seatbelts. Seatbelts work by instantly contracting in the event of a collision or emergency braking, tightening any slack in the belt and locking the occupant securely in the seat to prevent a secondary collision.

[0003] Correct seat belt wear is crucial to its effectiveness. Due to varying heights, occupants must manually adjust the height adjuster to ensure the belt fits correctly, passing between their shoulders. Currently, seat belts in common vehicles require manual adjustment, which is cumbersome. Consequently, many occupants often fail to adjust the height adjuster correctly for convenience, leading to safety issues. For example, shorter occupants may have the belt positioned too close to their necks, potentially causing strangulation and injury in a collision. For taller occupants, the belt may be positioned outside their shoulders, potentially causing it to become dislodged and ineffective in a collision. For drivers, by the time they detect the belt is strangling their neck, the car may have already been in motion for some time. If the vehicle is on a highway or elevated highway, it may be inconvenient to stop and adjust the belt height. Adjusting the seat belt while driving is dangerous and undesirable. In related technologies, the car's seat belt recognition function is only used to identify whether the driver is wearing a seat belt, but it is difficult to identify whether the seat belt is adjusted to an appropriate height, which causes the driver to misjudge when wearing the seat belt and only realize that the seat belt height is inappropriate while driving. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In the related art, the seat belt recognition function of the car is only used to identify whether the driver is wearing a seat belt, but it is difficult to identify whether the seat belt is adjusted to an appropriate height, resulting in misjudgment when the driver adjusts the seat belt.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0022] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application, the following briefly introduces the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present application. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without any creative work.

[0024] In the figure: 1. Seat belt assembly; 11. Seat belt reel; 12. Seat belt; 2. Height recognition assembly; 21. Contact sensor; 22. Annunciator. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] In the related art, the seat belt recognition function of the car is only used to identify whether the driver is wearing a seat belt, but it is difficult to identify whether the seat belt is adjusted to an appropriate height, resulting in misjudgment when the driver adjusts the seat belt.

[0027] In a first aspect, the present application provides a vehicle seat belt device, which includes: a seat belt assembly 1, a reminder assembly and a seat belt height identification assembly 2; wherein,

[0028] A reminder component, which is used to be installed on a vehicle; a seat belt height identification component 2, which is installed on the seat belt component 1, the seat belt height identification component 2 is connected to the reminder component signal, the seat belt height identification component 2 forms a weak current circuit on the seat belt component 1, the seat belt height identification component 2 is used to identify the short circuit phenomenon of the weak current circuit and send a start signal to the reminder component to trigger the reminder component.

[0029] It is understandable that the applicant has found that for the driver, when he recognizes that the seat belt is tightening around his neck, the car has already been driving for a while. If the vehicle is on a highway or an elevated road, it is inconvenient to stop to adjust the seat belt height. Adjusting the seat belt height while driving is even more dangerous and is not advisable. Therefore, it is necessary to remind the driver and passengers in time when they first put on the seat belt. This application sets a weak current circuit on the seat belt. When the seat belt comes into contact with the driver's neck due to an inappropriate seat belt height, the weak current circuit will short-circuit. At this time, the seat belt height recognition component will send a signal to the reminder component, triggering the reminder function to remind the driver and passengers to adjust the seat belt height.

[0030] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the seat belt height recognition component 2 includes: a contact sensor 21 and a signaler 22; wherein,

[0031] A contact sensor 21 is installed on the seat belt assembly 1, and the contact sensor 21 is used to short-circuit after coming into contact with human skin; an annunciator 22 is installed on the seat belt assembly 1 and is connected to the reminder assembly signal. The annunciator 22 is electrically connected to the contact sensor 21, and is used to identify the short-circuit condition of the contact sensor 21.

[0032] It is worth noting that when the driver's seat belt assembly 1 touches his neck, a weak current forms a short circuit, and the annunciator 22 captures this information and sends it to the reminder component, prompting the driver to adjust the seat belt height.

[0033] Furthermore, the signal device 22 includes: a weak current signal device 22, the weak current signal device 22 is used to identify the short circuit condition of the contact sensor 21 and send a start signal to the reminder component; wherein,

[0034] When the weak current signal device 22 identifies that the contact sensor 21 is in the short circuit state for a time period exceeding a preset threshold, the weak current signal device 22 sends a start signal to the reminder component.

[0035] It is worth noting that in order to eliminate the false signal caused by the short circuit of the weak current circuit due to the temporary touch of the hand on the seat belt assembly 1, the weak current signal device 22 will only send out a warning signal when it recognizes that the short circuit phenomenon lasts for more than a preset time threshold.

[0036] Preferably, the preset time threshold is 10 seconds. That is, only when the short circuit phenomenon lasts for more than 10 seconds, the weak current signal device 22 will send a start signal to the reminder component.

[0037] The present application provides a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the contact sensor 21 includes a metal wire, which is embedded in the seat belt assembly 1.

[0038] It can be understood that the metal wire is wrapped around the seat belt webbing to form a complete weak current circuit.

[0039] In some preferred embodiments, the metal wire is made of titanium alloy TC4 material.

[0040] It's worth noting that the seatbelt assembly 1 and its metal wire often come into contact with human skin, posing durability issues and the potential for harm. The metal wire is made of titanium alloy TC4, which is highly flexible, non-toxic, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for contact with the human body. Other materials that are harmless to the human body and meet durability standards can also be used to make the metal wire.

[0043] It is worth noting that a signaler 22 is provided in the seat belt reel 11 , one end of the signaler 22 is connected to the vehicle signal cable; the other end is connected to the metal wire on the edge of the seat belt reel 11 through the seat belt reel 11 to release a 5V low-voltage current.

[0044] In some preferred embodiments, the reminder component includes: a reminder signal light, which is used to be installed on the vehicle dashboard. Further, the reminder component also includes: a ringing reminder unit, which is used to be installed in the vehicle.

[0045] It is understandable that the dual visual and auditory reminders of the warning signal light and the bell reminder unit remind the driver and passengers that the seat belt height needs to be adjusted, so that the driver and passengers can adjust the seat belt height in time before driving.

[0046] It should be noted that the operating principle of the vehicle seat belt device of the present application includes: when the seat belt 12 worn by the driver and passenger comes into contact with the neck, the weak current in the contact sensor 21 in the webbing of the seat belt 12 forms a short circuit. When the short circuit time lasts for more than 10 seconds (mainly excluding the error signal generated by the hand temporarily touching the webbing), the signaler 22 quickly identifies it and transmits the information to the reminder component. The reminder component displays information on the dashboard display screen, and the display screen prompts the driver to adjust the seat belt height.

The annunciator 22 is electrically connected to the contact sensor 21, and is used to identify the short-circuit condition of the contact sensor 21.

[0049] It is worth noting that when the driver's seat belt assembly 1 touches his neck, a weak current forms a short circuit, and the annunciator 22 captures this information and sends it to the reminder component, prompting the driver to adjust the seat belt height.

[0050] Furthermore, the signal device 22 includes: a weak current signal device 22, the weak current signal device 22 is used to identify the short circuit condition of the contact sensor 21 and send a start signal to the reminder component; wherein,

[0051] When the weak current signal device 22 identifies that the contact sensor 21 is in the short circuit state for a time period exceeding a preset threshold, the weak current signal device 22 sends a start signal to the reminder component.

[0052] It is worth noting that in order to eliminate the false signal caused by the short circuit of the weak current circuit due to the temporary touch of the hand on the seat belt assembly 1, the weak current signal device 22 will only send out a warning signal when it recognizes that the short circuit phenomenon lasts for more than a preset time threshold.

[0053] Preferably, the preset time threshold is 10 seconds. That is, only when the short circuit phenomenon lasts for more than 10 seconds, the weak current signal device 22 will send a start signal to the reminder component.

[0062] It is understandable that the dual visual and auditory reminders of the warning signal light and the bell reminder unit remind the driver and passengers that the seat belt height needs to be adjusted, so that the driver and passengers can adjust the seat belt height in time before driving.
