Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle parts, and in particular to a side air curtain guide bracket. Meanwhile, the utility model also relates to a vehicle using the side air curtain guide bracket. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automobile industry, the requirements for safety performance are getting higher and higher, and the requirements for the development of side airbags are also constantly increasing. Side airbags are air curtains that run from the A-pillar to the C-pillar of the vehicle, also known as curtain airbags. Their main function is to cushion the damage caused to the members by the side collision of the vehicle. After the side airbags are opened, they can cover the entire side window, thereby effectively protecting the safety of the occupants' heads.

[0003] The existing method of fixing the side air curtain to the side panel metal only by buckles lacks constraints. When assembling the ceiling, the side air curtain is easily twisted and deviated from the expected position, which affects the deployment posture and its side protection function. The strong impact force generated by the instantaneous opening of the side air curtain can easily crack or even break the pillar interior, which not only easily causes the air curtain to explode and fail, but also poses a risk of causing harm to the human body. Therefore, some vehicles are equipped with side air curtain guide brackets, so that the side air curtain is not easy to damage the pillar interior during the detonation process and can be deployed smoothly, successfully realizing the side protection of the occupants.

[0004] Existing side air curtain guide brackets are mostly made of metal, which has the advantages of high structural strength and not easy to damage. However, metal side air curtain guide brackets are expensive and have relatively complicated manufacturing and installation processes. Although some vehicle models also use non-metallic side air curtain guide brackets, the existing side air curtain guide brackets have poor structural strength and may be damaged during the side air curtain explosion process.
