[0031] Terms including ordinal numbers such as “first” and “second” may be used to describe various elements, but these elements are not limited to these terms. The above terms are only used to distinguish one element from other elements.

[0032] Singular expressions may include plural expressions unless they are clearly different in context.

[0033] As used herein, the expressions “include,” “comprise,” or “have” are intended to specify the presence of the recited features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof, and should be construed as not precluding the possible presence or addition of one or more other features, numbers, steps, operations, elements, components, or combinations thereof.

[0034] In the following description, the terms “module” and “unit” for elements are provided or used interchangeably only for the ease of writing the specification, and do not have different meanings or functions in themselves.

[0035] In the case where an element is referred to as being “connected” or “coupled” to any other element, it should be understood that another element may be provided therebetween, and the element may be directly connected or coupled to the other element. In contrast, in the case where an element is referred to as being “directly connected” or “directly coupled” to any other element, it should be understood that there is no other element therebetween.

[0036] The controller may include: a communication device configured to communicate with a sensor or another control unit; a storage configured to store an operating system, logical commands, or input / output information; and at least one processor configured to perform determinations, calculations, decisions, etc. required for function control.

[0037] Figure 1 is a view exemplarily showing a vehicle passenger protection system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 2 is a view exemplarily showing a vehicle passenger protection system in which a bracket is partially omitted.

[0038] The seat disposed in the interior space of the vehicle can move freely back and forth, left and right in the interior space of the vehicle. With the development of autonomous driving technology, the interior of the vehicle can be changed into various spaces. Therefore, by changing the positions of various seats, it can help to change the vehicle into various spaces.

[0039] Meanwhile, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mobile crash pad 100 of the present disclosure is disposed in the interior space of the vehicle and can move towards the seat 300. The first airbag module 130 is disposed inside the mobile crash pad 100. When a vehicle accident occurs, the first airbag pad 133 included in the first airbag module 130 is deployed to protect the passengers from the accident.

[0040] The mobile crash pad 100 is configured to protect the passengers by moving in response to the movement of the seat 300 (i.e., the movement of the passengers sitting on the seat 300 of the vehicle).

[0041] The airbag device fixed at a certain point in the interior space of the vehicle is difficult to cope with the change in the position of the passengers caused by the movement of the seat. Therefore, in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a mobile crash pad 100 having a first airbag pad 133 constructed therein is disposed in the interior space of the vehicle so as to optimally respond to a vehicle accident regardless of the position of the passengers.

[0042] The first airbag module 130 can be disposed inside the mobile crash pad 100, and the first airbag module 130 can include a folded first airbag pad 133 and a first inflator configured to supply gas so that the first airbag pad 133 can be deployed.

[0043] The controller 500 is configured to predict a vehicle accident. The accident prediction system provided in the controller 500 can monitor the driving conditions of the vehicle and detect in advance the possibility of collision with another vehicle or an external object.

[0044] Devices such as radio detection and ranging devices (radar, RADAR) and LiDAR (light detection and ranging) are disposed outside the vehicle to detect in real time the distance between the vehicle and other vehicles and the distance between the external object and the vehicle, and devices such as cameras are arranged to maintain the lane, identify traffic signals and detect the presence of other vehicles in real time.

[0045] The controller 500 can be configured to predict a vehicle accident in advance via the accident prediction system and prevent the vehicle accident by operating the emergency braking system installed in the vehicle. However, when it is predicted that an accident is about to occur due to the sudden intervention of another vehicle or the appearance of an obstacle, although the emergency braking system is in operation, it is still necessary to protect the passengers in the vehicle.

[0046] In the case where an accident is predicted to occur, the controller 500 can protect the passengers by moving the mobile crash pad 100 towards the seat 300 where the passengers are seated and deploying the first airbag pad 133 provided in the mobile crash pad 100.

[0047] Here, the deployed first airbag pad 133 can protect the passengers from being injured by flying objects. In the interior space of the vehicle, there may be devices provided for the convenience of the passengers or objects arbitrarily placed by the passengers, and the vehicle may be provided with windows that are easily damaged due to external impacts. In addition, with the development of autonomous driving technology, small displays have gradually become larger, and multiple displays are provided inside the vehicle, so passengers may be injured by the fragments generated when the displays are damaged.

[0048] There is the first airbag pad 133 to protect the passengers from flying objects.

[0049] The second airbag pad 333 directly protects the passengers from external impacts, which will be described later.

[0050] On the other hand, the mobile crash pad 100 may include a housing 110 that forms a closed cross-sectional shape and defines the appearance of the mobile crash pad 100, and the floor of the vehicle may be provided with a bracket 400 in which a moving track 410 is provided to serve as the moving path of the housing 110.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 , the seat 300 may be provided on the floor of the vehicle inside the bracket 400. The seat 300 may be provided to be movable back and forth, left and right inside the bracket 400.

[0052] As Figure 1 shown, the housing 110 that defines the appearance of the mobile crash pad 100 may be manufactured to form a closed cross-sectional shape, for example, it may be an oval shape. It may also be polygonal and square.

[0053] That is, the housing 110 may extend in the height direction of the vehicle to form a closed cross-sectional shape, in which case the first airbag module 130 is accommodated inside the housing 110. The first airbag module 130 is accommodated at the top of the housing 110.

[0054] This is to minimize the resistance caused by the external force applied to the first airbag pad 133, so that the first airbag pad 133 can be deployed quickly, and when the first airbag module 130 is accommodated at the top of the housing, the deployment direction of the first airbag pad 133 is the same as the direction of the gravitational force, enabling the first airbag pad 133 to be deployed quickly.

[0055] The first airbag cushion 133 can be deployed along the closed cross-section formed by the housing 110. That is, a guide rail 250 configured as the deployment path of the first airbag cushion 133 is provided on the outside of the housing 110 to guide the deployment direction of the first airbag cushion 133.

[0056] In this case, known technologies such as curtain airbags can be applied to the first airbag cushion 133 and the guide rail 250. For example, at multiple points of the first airbag cushion 133, especially on the left and right sides of the first airbag cushion 133, guide rings can be provided, and the guide rings are arranged to pass through the first airbag cushion 133 to be connected to the first airbag cushion 133. In addition, the guide rail 250 can be arranged along the extending direction of the housing 110, and a sliding member that slides on the guide rail 250 and is connected to the guide ring can be provided on the guide rail 250.

[0057] Alternatively, a rod-shaped guide rod can be provided in the housing instead of in the guide rail 250, and the rod-shaped guide rod is arranged to pass through the guide ring to guide the deployment direction of the first airbag cushion 133.

[0058] Meanwhile, referring to Figure 2 , a moving track 410 serving as the moving path of the housing 110 can be provided in a bracket 400, and the bracket is provided on the vehicle floor. Two ends of the housing 110 are connected to the bracket 400, and more specifically, to the moving track 410. A motor can be provided inside the bracket 400 or inside the housing 110 to move the housing 110 on the moving track 410.

[0059] To move the housing 110 on the moving track 410, the moving track 410 and the housing 110 can be coupled to each other in a ball screw type or a rack and pinion type known in the art. When current is applied to the motor to operate the motor, the housing 110 can move on the moving track 410 toward or away from the seat 300.

[0060] Meanwhile, the bracket 400 can include a first part 470 extending in the length or width direction of the vehicle and a second part 490 extending in the height direction of the vehicle and connected to the first part 470. The moving track 410 can be provided on the first part 470, and in the first part 470, an operating device configured to adjust the distance of the moving bumper 100 and adjust the volume of the speaker 290 provided on the moving bumper 100 can be provided.

[0061] The second part 490 extends in the vehicle height direction from one end of the first part 470. A space is defined inside the second part 490 such that a passenger can rest while seated on the seat 300, and even in the event of a vehicle accident, the passenger can be protected from objects flying from the rear side of the seat 300.

[0062] Meanwhile, the movable bumper 100 is provided with a sensor 270 configured to determine whether a passenger is seated on the seat 300. When a passenger is seated on the seat and an accident is predicted, the controller 500 can move the movable bumper 100 towards the seat 300 and deploy the first airbag pad 133 inside the movable bumper 100.

[0063] The sensor 270 can be a camera or a vision sensor, and the sensor 270 is provided on the upper side of the movable bumper 100 to determine whether there is a passenger seated on the seat.

[0064] When there is no seated passenger, moving the movable bumper 100 towards the seat 300 or deploying the first airbag pad 133 is meaningless even in the event of an accident. Therefore, the presence of a passenger needs to be identified by the sensor 270.

[0065] At this time, the presence of a passenger can be identified by the sensor 270 provided on the upper side of the movable bumper 100, but the presence of a passenger can also be double-identified by a load sensor built into the seat 300.

[0066] Meanwhile, when an accident is predicted, the controller 500 moves the movable bumper 100 towards the seat 300 to a point at a predetermined distance from the passenger seated on the seat 300.

[0067] Here, when the first airbag pad 133 is deployed, the controller 500 must move the movable bumper 100 to a point at a predetermined distance from the passenger to prevent the passenger from being injured due to the deployment force of the first airbag pad 133.

[0068] In addition, since the first airbag pad 133 must be deployed to protect the passenger when an accident occurs, it is desirable to move the movable bumper 100 to a point where the movable bumper is configured to reach the passenger within 0.1 seconds from the occurrence of the accident.

[0069] The moving point of the movable bumper 100 can be determined based on the operating speed of the motor detected by the sensor 270, the size and position of the passenger's body, etc.

[0070] If an accident is predicted but does not occur, the controller 500 can move the movable bumper 100 back to its previous position.

[0071] Meanwhile, a second airbag module 330 may be provided in the seat 300. The second airbag module 330 provided in the seat 300 may be an embracing airbag module, and known techniques related to the embracing airbag may be applied to the second airbag module 330. When an accident occurs, the controller 500 may deploy the second airbag cushion 333 to cover a part of the passenger's body.

[0072] As described above, when an accident is predicted, the controller 500 may move the mobile anti-collision cushion 100 to a point at a predetermined distance from the passenger seated on the seat, and when the accident occurs, the controller 500 may deploy the first airbag cushion 133 and the second airbag cushion 333.

[0073] The second airbag cushion 333 is configured to directly protect the passenger from the impact of a collision by expanding to surround the passenger. However, the protective effect of the second airbag cushion 333 may vary depending on the body size of the passenger sitting on the seat 300. When the body size of the passenger is small, there is a gap between the second airbag cushion 333 and the passenger, which may make it difficult to fully protect the passenger from the vibrations generated by a vehicle accident.

[0074] Therefore, the gap between the passenger and the second airbag cushion 333 can be minimized by pressing the second airbag cushion 333 to a certain level or higher through the contact between the first airbag cushion 133 and the second airbag cushion 333, and the passenger can be protected from flying objects by the first airbag cushion 133.

[0075] In this way, the vehicle passenger protection system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to protect the passenger from a vehicle accident through the interaction between the first airbag cushion 133 provided on the mobile anti-collision cushion 100 and the second airbag cushion 333 provided on the seat.

[0076] The second airbag cushion 333 directly protects the passenger from the impact of a collision, while the first airbag cushion 133 protects the passenger from flying objects due to the collision. In addition, since the second airbag cushion 333 is pressed to a certain level or higher by the first airbag cushion 133, problems that may arise due to the body size of the passenger and the size of the second airbag cushion 333 can be solved.

[0077] Meanwhile, the sensor 270 provided on the mobile anti-collision pad 100 may be configured to determine the condition of the passengers when an accident occurs. The sensor 270 may determine whether the current passengers are seriously injured by detecting the condition of the passengers' eyes, the posture of the passengers, etc., and when it is determined that the passengers are injured, the sensor may send vehicle information, accident information, and information related to the condition of the passengers and the location of the vehicle to the service center of the vehicle manufacturer, the fire department adjacent to the vehicle accident location, etc. via a communication device.

[0078] In addition, even if the passengers are not injured, follow-up measures for the vehicle accident can be implemented by transmitting vehicle information, accident information, and information about the condition of the passengers and the location of the vehicle to the service center of the vehicle manufacturer.

[0079] Meanwhile, the mobile anti-collision pad 100 may be provided with a speaker 290 for transmitting sound. During normal driving of the vehicle, the mobile anti-collision pad 100 may transmit music or the sound of the video being played on the display in the vehicle. However, when an accident occurs, the controller 500 may protect the passengers' hearing by transmitting white noise via the speaker 290.

[0080] In addition, terms related to control devices such as "controller", "control device", "control unit", "control device", "control module", "control loop", or "server" refer to hardware devices including a memory and a processor configured to execute one or more steps interpreted as an algorithmic structure.
