Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field related to ignition tools, and in particular to an ignition tool with enhanced anti-static ESD performance and an assembly process thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a passive safety protection system, airbags work together with seat belts to form a car safety system, which can provide limited anti-collision protection for drivers and passengers, and reduce the injury rate of passengers when a car accident occurs. The igniter is a very important component of the airbag.

[0003] The Chinese patent number is CN102092356A, and the authorization announcement date is June 15, 2011. It discloses an electric ignition device for automobile safety airbags, which includes: an annular electrode; insulating glass, arranged between the annular electrodes; a single electrode, divided into a first single electrode and a second single electrode, one end of the first single electrode is connected to the annular electrode; the second single electrode is inserted into the insulating glass; a bridge wire, through which the annular electrode and the second single electrode are connected together; a tube shell, connected to the annular electrode, the tube shell and the annular electrode and the insulating glass form a space; ignition powder, arranged in the space; a plastic sleeve, arranged on the outside of the tube shell; a plastic injection molded body, arranged on the outside of the plastic sleeve and the annular electrode; it is characterized in that a medicine tube is provided in the space, and the medicine tube is connected to the side of the annular electrode away from the axis.

[0004] It can be known from the above patents that in the prior art, after the general electric ignition tools are subjected to electrostatic discharge and ESD tests, the bridge wire and the metal electrode plug (i.e., the annular electrode in the above cited patent) are micro-welded, and the bridge wire length carried on the glass electrode (i.e., the second single electrode in the above cited patent) is short, and the bridge wire resistance is greatly attenuated (attenuation rate>20%), and the bridge wire resistance is even lower than 1.7 ohms. The bridge wire resistance is a key factor in ensuring the normal detonation of the ignition tool. According to Q=I²Rt, Q is the minimum heat required for the ignition tool explosive to detonate; I-detonation current, generally 1.2A constant current; R-bridge wire resistance; t-time required for the ignition tool to detonate. When the bridge wire resistance decays, the time required for the ignition tool to detonate will increase, resulting in the ignition tool not being able to detonate in time within the specified time, resulting in failure. Usually in the industry, the ignition powder is dried and then pressed directly onto the bridge wire. The bridge wire is flattened and contacts the metal surface of the electrode plug. When the ESD is energized, the bridge wire becomes soft and the contact with the metal surface of the electrode plug is enhanced. At the same time, after the bridge wire is energized, a resistance welding loop is formed between the bridge wire and the electrode plug. Micro-welding causes the bridge wire and the metal surface of the electrode plug to be combined into one, and the effective length of the bridge wire is reduced, resulting in resistance attenuation. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present invention aims to overcome the drawback of bridge wire resistance attenuation in the prior art and provides an ignition tool with enhanced anti-static ESD performance which will not cause bridge wire resistance attenuation.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: An ignition device with enhanced anti-static ESD performance comprises an electrode plug and a medicine cup, wherein a single electrode 1 and a single electrode 2 which do not contact each other are fixed on the electrode plug respectively, one end of the single electrode 1 is fixedly connected to one side of the electrode plug, one end of the single electrode 2 passes through from one side of the electrode plug to the other side corresponding to the electrode plug and is electrically isolated from the electrode plug, a bridge wire is provided on the other side corresponding to the electrode plug, one end of the bridge wire is fixedly connected to the surface of the electrode plug, and the other end of the bridge wire is fixedly connected to the end of the single electrode 2, the electrode plug is located in the medicine cup and fixedly connected to the medicine cup, liquid detonating powder is filled between the other side corresponding to the electrode plug and the bottom of the medicine cup, and the other end of the single electrode 1 and the other end of the single electrode 2 both pass through the open end of the medicine cup and are suspended outside the medicine cup.
