[0029] The present application provides an airbag installation structure and a vehicle. The airbag installation structure and the vehicle are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the features of the following embodiments and implementations may be combined with each other.

[0030] An embodiment of the present application provides an airbag mounting structure, which is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle may be a car, truck, van, sport utility vehicle, or any other type of vehicle with a battery. In one embodiment, the vehicle is a high-voltage traction battery-powered electric vehicle (e.g., a battery electric vehicle (BEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), etc.). In another embodiment, the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle that controls the maneuvering functions of the vehicle without direct input from a human driver.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an airbag installation structure shown in an embodiment; Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a roof and side panels shown in an embodiment; Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an airbag shown in an embodiment; Figure 41 is a schematic diagram of an airbag installation structure shown in another perspective in an embodiment. The airbag installation structure includes a side panel 20, a ceiling 30 and an airbag 10. The side panel 20 is connected to the ceiling 30. The side panel 20 is preset with a first installation point 211 for installing the airbag 10. The ceiling 30 is preset with a second installation point 311 for installing the airbag 10. The airbag 10 is installed on the side panel 20 through the first installation point 211 and installed on the ceiling 30 through the second installation point 311.

[0032] By setting the first mounting point 211 on the side wall 20, the number of mounting points on the roof 30 is reduced while ensuring the stability and strength of the installation of the airbag 10. When the roof 30 of the vehicle cannot provide more mounting points, the airbag 10 can still be stably installed on the top of the interior of the vehicle to protect the safety of the passengers. In summary, the embodiment of the present application cleverly utilizes the space of the side wall 20 of the vehicle to meet the installation requirements of the airbag 10, has a simple structure, and is easy to apply and implement in the industry.

[0033] In one embodiment, the side panel 20 includes a first boss 21 protruding toward the airbag 10, and the first mounting point 211 is disposed on the first boss 21; the roof 30 includes a second boss 31 protruding toward the airbag 10, and the second mounting point 311 is disposed on the second boss 31, and the airbag 10 abuts against the first boss 21 and the second boss 31, respectively. When the airbag 10 is mounted on the side panel 20 and the roof 30, the first boss 21 and the second boss 31 can provide a fixed mounting position and support for the airbag 10, so that the first boss 21 and the second boss 31 can make the installation process of the airbag 10 simpler and more convenient.

[0034] In a further embodiment, the first boss 21 includes a first connection surface that abuts against the airbag 10, the second boss 31 includes a second connection surface that abuts against the airbag 10, the first mounting point 211 is located on the first connection surface, and the second mounting point 311 is located on the second mounting surface; wherein the area of ​​the first connection surface is greater than the area of ​​the second connection surface. It is easy to understand that the strength of the side enclosure 20 at the position of the airbag 10 is lower than the strength of the roof 30, so setting the area of ​​the first connection surface to be greater than the area of ​​the second connection surface can improve the connection strength between the airbag 10 and the side enclosure 20, making the connection between the airbag 10 and the side enclosure 20 more reliable.

[0035] In addition, in one embodiment, the plane where the first connection surface is located is parallel to the plane where the second connection surface is located. In other words, the first connection surface is a plane, the second connection surface is also a plane, and the first connection surface and the second connection surface are parallel to each other. In this way, when the airbag 10 is installed on the side wall 20 and the roof 30, the airbag 10 will not tilt as a whole, which is conducive to the normal deployment of the airbag 10 when the vehicle collides or violently bumps.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the first boss 21 may be a rectangular boss, and the second boss 31 may be a circular boss. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments, the first boss 21 may be a circular boss, a quadrilateral boss, an asymmetric boss, etc., and the second boss 31 may be a rectangular boss, a parallelogram boss, an asymmetric boss, etc.

[0037] In one embodiment, the airbag 10 is detachably connected to the first mounting point 211 of the side panel 20, and the airbag 10 is detachably connected to the second mounting point 311 of the roof 30. In this way, the maintenance and replacement of the airbag 10 are facilitated.

[0041] In one embodiment, the shell 11 further includes a third flange 16, the airbag mounting structure further includes a third connector 43, and the side enclosure 20 is also preset with a third mounting point 221 for mounting the airbag 10, and the side enclosure 20 is provided with a third threaded hole at the third mounting point 221; wherein the third flange 16 and the first flange 14 overlap at their respective edges to form a first overlapping flange 146, the first overlapping flange 146 is provided with a third mounting hole, and the third connector 43 is penetrated through the third mounting hole and the third threaded hole to connect the side enclosure 20 and the airbag 10. The first flange 14 and the third flange 16 overlap, which can improve the structural strength of the shell 11 and the anti-bending ability of the shell 11 on the one hand, and on the other hand, by setting the third mounting hole at the first overlapping flange 146, the reliability of the connection between the shell 11 and the side enclosure 20 can be improved.

[0042] The third flange 16 and the first flange 14 may be welded at their respective overlapping positions to form the first overlapping flange 146, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first overlapping flange 146 may also be formed by riveting, screwing, or the like.

The fourth flange 17 and the second flange 15 can form the second overlapping flange 175 by welding at their respective overlapping parts, but is not limited thereto. For example, the second overlapping flange 175 can also be formed by riveting, screwing, etc.

[0044] In some embodiments, the side panel 20 may include a third boss 22, a third mounting point 221 (third threaded hole) is located on the third boss 22, and the roof 30 may include a fourth boss 32, a fourth mounting point 321 (fourth threaded hole) is located on the fourth boss 32. The third boss 22 may include a third connection surface abutting against the airbag 10, and the fourth boss 32 may include a fourth connection surface abutting against the airbag 10, and the area of ​​the third connection surface may be greater than the area of ​​the fourth connection surface. The specific structure of the third boss 22 may refer to the first boss 21, and the specific structure of the fourth boss 32 may refer to the third boss 22.
