[0002] Airbags are a type of passive safety device used in cars and other vehicles, designed to protect passengers from serious injuries in the event of a collision. Airbags are usually located on the steering wheel, dashboard, seat edge, etc. of the vehicle. When a vehicle collides and the airbag system is triggered, the airbag will quickly inflate and pop out to form a protective barrier, helping to mitigate the impact force of the passengers in the collision and reduce the possibility of head and chest injuries. Airbags play an important role in vehicle collision accidents, effectively reducing the degree of injury and protecting the lives and health of passengers. In order to facilitate the storage and transportation of airbags, airbag folding devices are often used to fold the airbags from the deployed state to a smaller size.

In addition, there is a risk of human error in the traditional manual folding process, which can easily lead to inaccurate folding of the airbag. In order to solve the above problems, the present application proposes a folding mechanism for an airbag. Utility Model Content
