AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, car steering wheels vibrate significantly when driving on bumpy roads, and airbag modules are unable to effectively dampen the vibrations, resulting in large steering wheel vibration amplitudes.
Design a steering wheel airbag module in which the gas generator is connected to the housing via clips and pins, allowing the gas generator to be suspended outside the housing. Vibration is eliminated by using resonance, and dampers and shock absorbers are included to reduce the vibration amplitude.
By combining the resonance cancellation between the gas generator and the steering wheel with the damper, the vibration amplitude of the steering wheel is effectively reduced, improving driving comfort.

The first columnar portion 701 is at least partially in contact with the housing 1, and the second columnar portion 702 is at least partially in contact with the shock absorber and / or flange 9. By providing the rubber sleeve 7, the first columnar portion of the rubber sleeve 7... The pan head portion 402 of the pin 4 is covered by 701, which can prevent the pan head portion 402 of the pin 4 from directly contacting the housing 1. The first columnar portion 701 is in contact with the housing 1, which can play a role in sealing the gas. At the same time, the first columnar portion 701 has a certain elasticity, which can play a role in shock absorption. The second columnar portion 702 is in contact with the shock absorber and the flange 9, which can prevent the pin 4 from directly contacting the shock absorber and the flange 9. At the same time, when the gas generator 2 vibrates, the second columnar portion 702 can play a role in shock absorption.
[0062] It should be noted that the thickness of the rubber sleeve 7 is approximately 0.5mm, which, while ensuring the coverage of the pin 4, also provides a certain degree of shock absorption.
[0063] like Figures 1-2 As shown, in some embodiments, the first columnar portion 701 extends to form a plurality of elastic columns 703 at one edge near the second columnar portion 702. The plurality of elastic columns 703 are evenly distributed in a ring on the second columnar portion 702. The plurality of elastic columns 703 are in contact with the housing 1. By providing a plurality of elastic columns 703 on one side of the first columnar portion 701 near the housing 1, and by having the plurality of elastic columns 703 in contact with the housing 1, when the gas generator 2 drives the pin 4 to vibrate, the elastic columns 703 can play a buffering role, thereby adjusting the vibration frequency of the gas generator 2.
[0064] like Figures 1-2As shown, in some embodiments, the first columnar portion 701 extends to form a transition portion 704 at the center of the side near the second columnar portion 702. The transition portion 704 has several recessed portions 705 on its outer periphery, allowing it to deform as a whole. The transition portion 704 has several slots 706 on the side near the damping block. The damping block has inserts that mate with the slots 706 on the side near the transition portion 704. The first columnar portion 701 is located near the damping block... A transition portion 704 is formed on one side of the block. The transition portion 704 passes through the housing 1 and contacts the shock absorber block. Several recessed portions 705 are formed on the outer periphery of the transition portion 704. The several recessed portions 705 are evenly distributed so that the transition portion 704 can deform when it is squeezed. At the same time, several slots 706 are opened on the side of the transition portion 704 near the shock absorber block. The top of the shock absorber block is provided with plugs that cooperate with the several slots 706. The plugs are at least partially inserted into the slots 706 to ensure the connection effect between the transition portion 704 and the shock absorber block.
[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the airbag module further includes a sealing rubber 8, which is disposed between the gas generator 2 and the housing 1. The gas generator 2 and the sealing rubber 8 are interlocked. Since the gas generator 2 is suspended, there will be a certain gap between the gas generator 2 and the housing 1. By providing the sealing rubber 8 between the gas generator 2 and the housing 1, the sealing rubber 8 is in a state of compression and interference with the outer wall of the gas generator 2. When the gas generator 2 vibrates, the sealing rubber 8 can always be tightly attached to the outer wall of the gas generator 2 to avoid air leakage.

In particular, the method embodiments described later are relatively simple in description since they correspond to the system, and relevant parts can be referred to the descriptions in the system embodiments.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
