Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of seat belt retractor, in particular to a seat belt retractor pre-tightening structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The retractor is the core component of the seat belt, accounting for 60%-95% of the cost of the seat belt. The seat belt retractor of the automobile seat is characterized in that the component sensing the acceleration of the belt is composed of a circular belt reel and at least one ratchet wheel fixedly installed at the end of the reel. The circular belt reel is movably penetrated into the oval-shaped shaft hole of the main plate on both sides of the belt reel chamber, and the inner ratchet tooth is arranged obliquely above the oval-shaped shaft hole on the inner side of the main plate, which forms a locking component with the ratchet wheel.

[0003] A pre-tightening type automobile seat belt retractor disclosed in CN201205903Y comprises a belt, a belt reel, a cover, a gas generator and a conduit. The belt is wound around the belt reel, the end of which is sleeved with a circular disc, and a plurality of spherical cavities are arranged on the outer edge of the circular disc. The cover is sleeved at the end of the circular disc of the belt reel, and a ball collector is arranged in the cover. The end of the conduit is provided with the gas generator, and the other end is connected with the cover. A plurality of abacus bead-shaped balls are arranged in the conduit, and the outer circumferential surface of each ball is in close contact with the wall of the conduit and cooperates with each spherical cavity. Through the above structure, the impact of the gas generator on the ball at the moment of collision can drive the circular disc to rotate, thereby effectively pre-tightening the seat belt and restraining the passenger on the back of the seat. Most of the current pre-tightening structures are controlled by the principle of the gas generator, which has certain risks and may fail. Pure mechanical pre-tightening is safer and has lower cost.

[0004] The current pre-tightening device of the seat belt retractor starts as follows: when a collision occurs, the sensor detects that the front collision is higher than the specified value, and the electric signal is transmitted to the electronic igniter of the power device to complete the start of the pre-tightening type seat belt. Specifically, the probe collects the collision information first, and then emits an electric pulse, which is transmitted to the gas generator to detonate the gas. The gas produced by the explosion rapidly expands in the pipeline and presses the so-called ball chain, causing the ball to move forward in the pipeline, driving the pawl disc to rotate. The pawl disc is integrated with the shaft, and the seat belt is wound around the shaft. The ball is driven to rotate by the gas pressure, thereby realizing the pre-tightening function. This explosive type has certain risks, and the probe may fail, thereby failing to complete the pre-tightening. When the retractor fails, the restraining force of the seat belt is reduced, which may cause danger. How to pre-tighten before the retractor to increase safety protection, the inventor has invented a seat belt retractor pre-tightening structure to solve the problem of pre-tightening of the seat belt retractor.
