[0054] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are mainly used to distinguish the same or similar features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features.

[0055] There are two embodiments in this application. Embodiment 1 is an airbag system for a special-shaped steering wheel with two spokes, and embodiment 2 is an airbag system for a special-shaped steering wheel with three spokes. The front and rear directions in this application are defined as the direction relative to the front windshield of the vehicle. The direction toward the front windshield is the front, and the direction away from the front windshield of the vehicle is the rear. The front and rear directions can be referred to Fig.11 understand.

[0056] Embodiment 1

[0057] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the structure of the airbag system in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The airbag 2 is in a triggered and expanded state; Figure 3 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure from another perspective, which is a perspective viewed from bottom to top; Figure 4 for Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of the steering wheel 1.

[0058] Depend on Figure 1 , 2It can be seen that the airbag system in this embodiment includes a steering wheel 1 and an airbag 2. Specifically, the steering wheel 1 in this embodiment is a two-spoke special-shaped steering wheel, and the steering wheel 1 is provided with two spokes 13. The steering wheel 1 includes an outer rim 11, a central wheel disc 12 and spokes 13. The outer rim 11 has a notch 11a, that is, the outer rim 11 is not a complete circle. When the steering wheel 1 does not rotate (that is, when the steering wheel 1 is returned to the center), the notch 11a is located above the top of the outer rim 11. One end of the spoke 13 is connected to the outer rim 11, and the other end is connected to the central wheel disc 12. In the first embodiment, the two spokes 13 are both arranged on the upper part of the outer rim 11, and one is distributed on the left side and the other is distributed on the right side. In this way, the steering wheel 1 will not easily block the instrument surface in the car, and the visual field space occupied is small. Correspondingly, for this steering wheel 1, the airbag 2 equipped therewith is also improved accordingly in this embodiment.

[0059] The airbag 2 includes a main airbag 21 and a support airbag 22, both of which have a folded state and an inflated state after expansion. When there is no risk of collision, the main airbag 21 and the support airbag 22 are folded in the steering wheel 1, which is convenient for storage and saves space; when there is a risk of collision, the gas generator 4 equipped with the airbag 2 will explode, so that the main airbag 21 and the support airbag 22 are inflated. In the inflated state, the main airbag 21 expands to form a large cavity, which is supported on the rear side of the steering wheel 1 and is used to contact the passengers, and plays a role of protecting and buffering the drivers and other passengers, and preventing the heads of the passengers from directly colliding with hard objects; the support airbag 22 expands to form a small cavity, which is supported on the front side of the steering wheel 1, and plays a role of supporting the entire airbag 2. The airbag 2 does not rely on the instrument surface to achieve positioning and support, and can better protect the driver.

[0060] like Figures 2 to 10 As shown, it is not difficult to see that for the steering wheel 1 in the first embodiment of the present application, the distribution position of the spokes 13 will not affect the expansion of the support airbag 22. The spokes 13 in this embodiment are only arranged on the left and right sides of the steering wheel 1 near the top, and the support airbag 22 is located below the spokes 13. The support airbag 22 can be set as a complete structure without avoiding the spokes 13. When the support airbag 22 is inflated and expands through the steering wheel 1 to reach the front side of the steering wheel 1, a complete inverted T-shaped cavity structure can be formed. At the same time, the inverted T-shaped cavity formed by the expansion of the support airbag 22 can press the outer rim 11 of the steering wheel 1, and press against the outer rim 11 from front to back, which makes up for the problem of uneven support force caused by the missing top of the steering wheel 1, which is conducive to the expected deployment of the airbag and improves the stability of the inflated airbag 2.

[0061] Look again Figures 5 to 10 Understand, please Figure 5 for Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the sewing of the middle airbag 2; Figure 6 for Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of the middle airbag 2 viewed from the rear side to the front side of the steering wheel 1; Figure 7 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the shape of the middle and lower main air bag fabric sheet 212; Figure 8 for Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the shape of the middle upper supporting air bag fabric piece 223; Fig. 9 for Figure 2 A cross-sectional view of the airbag 2 in an inflated state; Fig.10 for Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the airbag 2 in the folded state.

[0062] A first opening 21a is provided below the main airbag 21, and correspondingly, a second opening 22a is provided above the support airbag 22. The first opening 21a and the second opening 22a correspond to each other and can both be set as square openings. The main airbag 21 and the support airbag 22 are sewn together as a whole through the first opening 21a and the second opening 22a. In this way, a short cavity can be formed at the connection, and at the same time, it can be ensured that only one gas generator 4 is provided, and the airflow enters the main airbag 21 to inflate the main airbag 21, and then enters the support airbag 22 to inflate the support airbag 22.

[0063] Combination Figure 2 and Fig.10 It can be seen that the support airbag 22 in the first embodiment of the present application should be arranged on the side of the steering wheel 1 away from the notch 11a. Specifically, in the folded state, the main airbag 21 and the support airbag 22 are both arranged in the steering wheel 1. At this time, the main airbag 21 is folded and compressed, and the support airbag 22 is arranged on the side of the main airbag 21 away from the notch 11a instead of the center of the main airbag 21. In this way, the support airbag 22 can expand and extend from the lower side of the steering wheel 1 after expansion, and one side of the support airbag 22 is supported on the lower left side of the outer rim 11, and the other side is supported on the lower right side of the outer rim 11. In this way, it will not be stuck by the spokes 13, and will not be unable to achieve support due to the notch 11a after expansion. The left and right directions in the present application can be defined based on the driver and other passengers. When the passengers face the windshield, the left and right of the passengers are the left and right described in this embodiment. It can be seen Figure 2 The middle is a perspective of the steering wheel 1 viewed from the front side of the vehicle, Figure 2 The left and right directions are exactly opposite to the left and right directions of the passengers, but the left and right directions in both perspectives are the width directions of the vehicle.

[0064] In this embodiment, the main air bag 21 includes an upper main air bag fabric sheet 211 and a lower main air bag fabric sheet 212 (shown in FIG. Figure 5), wherein the first opening 21a is provided on the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212, and the main airbag 21 forms a large cavity structure when inflated. Specifically, the large cavity formed by the expansion of the main airbag is located between the steering wheel 1 and the passenger. The main airbag 21 is provided as an upper main airbag fabric sheet 211 and a lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 sewn together, and the size of the fabric sheet during cutting will be correspondingly reduced, and space arrangement is convenient.

[0065] Accordingly, the support airbag 22 includes an upper support airbag fabric piece 223 and a lower support airbag fabric piece 224 sewn together, wherein the second opening 22a is provided on the upper support airbag fabric piece 223 so as to be sewn with the lower main airbag fabric piece 212. Similarly, by configuring the support airbag 22 as an upper support airbag fabric piece 223 and a lower support airbag fabric piece 224 sewn together, the size of the fabric piece during cutting can be reduced, and it is also easy to arrange in space.

[0066] like Fig.10 As shown, the connecting and sewing parts of the main airbag 21 and the support airbag 22 form a connecting channel 3. In the inflated state, the connecting channel 3 will expand into a small cavity, which is conducive to the support airbag 22 passing through the space between the spoke 13 and the outer rim 11 and extending to the front side of the steering wheel 1. The gas generator 4 is arranged in the steering wheel 1 and connected to the airbag 2. In this way, when a collision occurs, after the gas generator 4 is detonated, the airflow enters the airbag 2. The setting of the connecting channel 3 is conducive to the airflow to enter the main airbag 21 of the airbag 2 first, and slow down the speed of the airflow entering the support airbag 22. The main airbag 21 is filled as soon as possible to establish a protective barrier as soon as possible, so as to achieve better protection for the passengers; the opening speed of the support airbag 22 is slightly slower than that of the main airbag 21. After the main airbag 21 is filled, the airflow is more likely to flow to the support airbag 22, so that the support airbag 22 is fully inflated and expanded to play a supporting role.

[0067] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 6 It can be seen that the upper main airbag cloth piece 211 and the lower main airbag cloth piece 212 are both circular cloth pieces. In this way, the upper main airbag cloth piece 211 and the lower main airbag cloth piece 212 are sewn together to form a complete main airbag 21. The large cavity formed after the main airbag 21 is inflated is spherical, which will fit the head better and be more comfortable when cushioning.

[0068] Combination Figure 6 and Figure 8 It can be seen that the upper supporting airbag cloth piece 223 and the lower supporting airbag cloth piece 224 are both square cloth pieces. In this way, the upper supporting airbag cloth piece 223 and the lower supporting airbag cloth piece 224 are sewn together to form a complete supporting airbag 22. The small cavity formed after the supporting airbag 22 is inflated is a cylindrical structure, which is convenient for realizing the supporting function.

[0069] refer to Fig.10 The main airbag 21 is folded into a layered structure in the folded state, and the supporting airbag 22 is folded under the main airbag 21, and the left side is folded first and then the right side, or the right side is folded first and then the left side. In this way, the space utilization rate can be improved and the space can be saved. At the same time, such a structure also facilitates the expansion of the safety airbag 2 and facilitates the passage of airflow.

[0070] The specific sewing method and folding method of the airbag 2 of this embodiment are as follows:

[0071] S1, first align the first opening 21a of the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 and the second opening 22a of the upper support airbag fabric sheet 223, and sew the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 and the upper support airbag fabric sheet 223 together along the opening;

[0072] S2, aligning the upper main airbag fabric sheet 211 and the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212, and sewing them along the circular edge line;

[0073] S3, align the lower supporting airbag fabric piece 224 and the upper supporting airbag fabric piece 223, and sew them along the square edge line, and the airbag 1 is sewn;

[0074] S4, fold the main airbag 21 into a layered structure, and fold the support airbag 22 left to right (as shown in FIG. Fig.10 ), and finally seal it on the steering wheel 1.

[0075] Please refer to Fig.11 , Fig.11 It is a side view of the airbag system in the first embodiment of the present application.

[0076] Thus, when danger occurs, the gas generator 4 explodes (shown in FIG. Fig.11 ), the airflow mainly enters the main airbag 21 to inflate the main airbag 21, and part of the airflow enters the support airbag 22. After the support airbag 22 is inflated, it hooks the right and left sides of the steering wheel 1 to support the main airbag 21, thereby protecting the passengers.

[0077] Embodiment 2

[0078] Please refer to Figure 12 to Figure 14 , Fig.12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the airbag system in the second embodiment of the present application; Fig.13 for Fig.11 A schematic diagram of the structure from another perspective, which is a perspective viewed from bottom to top; Fig.14 for Fig.11 A schematic structural diagram of the steering wheel 1.

[0079] The principles of the second embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment, and the similarities are not repeated here. The difference is that the steering wheel 1 in this embodiment is specifically a three-spoke special-shaped steering wheel, and is provided with three spokes 13. In this embodiment, two spokes 13 are provided at the upper part of the outer rim 11, and one is distributed on the left side and the other is distributed on the right side, which corresponds to the first embodiment, and the remaining other spoke 13 is provided below the notch 11a, which is the lower spoke 131.

[0080] Accordingly, if Fig.12 As shown, because the distribution position of the lower spoke 131 will affect the expansion of the support airbag 22, the support airbag 22 cannot be set as a complete structure, and needs to be set away from the lower spoke 131. In this case, two independent support airbags 22 can be set, namely the first support airbag 221 and the second support airbag 222. When the two support airbags 22 are inflated and pass through the steering wheel 1 to the front side of the steering wheel 1, two L-shaped cavity structures can be formed, such as Fig.19 At the same time, the L-shaped cavity formed by the expansion of the support airbag 22 can press the outer rim 11 of the steering wheel 1 to make up for the uneven support force caused by the missing top of the steering wheel 1, which is conducive to the airbag as expected and improves the stability of the inflated airbag 2.

[0081] Look again Figures 15 to 20 , Fig.15 for Fig.12 A schematic diagram of the sewing of the middle airbag 2; Fig.16 for Fig.15 A schematic diagram of the shape of the middle and lower main air bag fabric sheet 212; Fig.17 for Fig.15 A schematic diagram of the shape of the upper supporting air bag fabric piece 223 of the first supporting air bag 221; Fig.18 for Fig.15 A schematic diagram of the shape of the upper supporting air bag fabric piece 223 of the second supporting air bag 222; Fig.19 for Fig.12 A cross-sectional view of the airbag 2 in an inflated state; Fig. 20 for Fig.12 Schematic diagram of the airbag 2 in the folded state.

[0082] In this embodiment, the lower part of the main airbag 21, i.e., the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212, is provided with a third opening 21b and a fourth opening 21c. The upper part of the first support airbag 221, i.e., the upper support airbag fabric sheet 223 on the left, is provided with a fifth opening 221a. The third opening 21b and the fifth opening 221a correspond to each other and can both be set as square openings. The upper part of the second support airbag 222, i.e., the upper support airbag fabric sheet 223 on the right, is provided with a sixth opening 222a. The fourth opening 21c and the sixth opening 222a correspond to each other and can both be set as square openings. The main airbag 21 and the first support airbag 221 are sewn together as a whole through the third opening 21b and the fifth opening 221a. The main airbag 21 and the second support airbag 222 are sewn together as a whole through the fourth opening 21c and the sixth opening 222a.

[0083] refer to Fig. 20 The main airbag 21 is folded into a layered structure in the folded state, and the two support airbags 22 (the first support airbag 221 and the second support airbag 222) are folded under the main airbag 21, and there is a gap between the two support airbags 22, which can be used to avoid the lower spoke 131 in the inflated state.

[0084] The specific sewing method and folding method of the airbag 2 of this embodiment are as follows:

[0085] S1, align the third opening 21b of the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 with the fifth opening 221a of the upper support airbag fabric sheet 223 of the first support airbag 221, and sew the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 and the upper support airbag fabric sheet 223 of the first support airbag 221 together along the opening;

[0086] S2, aligning the lower supporting airbag fabric piece 224 of the first supporting airbag 221 with the upper supporting airbag fabric piece 223 of the first supporting airbag 221, and sewing them together along their edge lines;

[0087] S3, align the fourth opening 21c of the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 with the sixth opening 222a of the upper supporting airbag fabric sheet 223 of the second supporting airbag 222, and sew the lower main airbag fabric sheet 212 and the upper supporting airbag fabric sheet 223 of the second supporting airbag 222 together along the opening;

[0088] S4, aligning the lower supporting air bag fabric piece 224 of the second supporting air bag 222 and the upper supporting air bag fabric piece 223 of the second supporting air bag 222, and sewing them together along their edge lines;

[0089] S5, aligning the upper main airbag fabric piece 211 and the lower main airbag fabric piece 212, and sewing them along the circular edge line;

[0090] S6, fold the main airbag 21 into a layered structure, and fold the first support airbag 221 and the second support airbag 222 left and right (as shown in FIG. Fig. 20 ), and finally seal it on the steering wheel 1.

[0091] In this way, when the vehicle is in danger of collision, the gas generator 4 explodes, and the airflow first enters the main airbag 21 to inflate the main airbag 21, and then enters the first support airbag 221 and the second support airbag 222, so that the first support airbag 221 inflates and hooks the left side of the steering wheel 1, and the second support airbag 222 inflates and hooks the right side of the steering wheel 1, so as to stabilize the entire airbag 2 to protect the occupants.

[0092] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, which includes the airbag system described in any one of the above items and has the same technical effects as the above airbag system, which will not be repeated here.

[0093] The above are only preferred implementations of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
