Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessories and relates to a force limiting assembly, in particular to a vehicle rear seat belt buckle force limiting assembly. Background Art
[0002] At present, the rear seat belt buckle of automobiles is fixed to the car floor through a mechanical fixing structure, so that the part of the rear seat belt that passes around the abdomen of the occupant is tightly locked. When a traffic accident with emergency braking occurs, the rear occupants will rush forward due to inertia. The seat belt tightly around the abdomen of the rear passengers cannot provide a buffer, which will cause injuries to the abdomen of the rear occupants. In severe cases, it may cause cutting injuries, and the safety of use is not ideal.
[0003] In response to the above problems, people have made various improvements to the connection structure of the rear seat belt buckle of the car, and some have even applied for patents. For example, Chinese patent literature discloses a force limiting device for the rear seat belt buckle of the car [application number: 202222857567.3; authorization announcement number: CN218112572U], which includes a fixed seat for being fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the car, and the opposite two sides of the fixed seat have two connecting parts folded to the same side, a pin is passed through the two connecting parts, a steel wire rope is passed through the fixed seat, one end of the steel wire rope is fixedly connected to the fixed seat, and the other end of the steel wire rope is used to connect the buckle. The steel wire rope also has a winding portion with several turns wound around the pin, and a deformation member supported by the winding portion and capable of providing a buffering torque when the winding portion is tightened is provided between the winding portion and the pin.
[0004] The force limiting device of the rear seat belt buckle of the above-mentioned automobile is provided with a deformable part. When an emergency braking traffic accident occurs, the torque transmitted to the buckle by the seat belt wrapped around the abdomen of the rear occupant exceeds the set torque. At this time, the winding part is tightened, the deformable part provides a buffering torque, and the buckle drives the steel wire rope to extend outward to avoid injuries caused by the seat belt wrapped around the abdomen of the rear occupant, thereby improving the safety of use. However, the deformable part is prone to displacement or separation from the stress area during the force-bearing process. For example, when the deformable part in the above-mentioned patent is a pin shaft, the force on the pin shaft will cause one or both ends of the pin shaft to separate from the fixing seat, resulting in poor buffering torque provided, and there is a probability of causing abdominal injuries to the rear occupants. The safety of use is still not ideal. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear seat belt buckle force limiting assembly of the vehicle includes a steel wire rope 1 and a mounting seat 2 with a mounting cavity inside. The steel wire rope 1 has a connecting end 3 fixedly connected to the mounting seat 2. The mounting seat 2 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 4 for the steel wire rope 1 to be wound around. A deformable member 5 is provided between the steel wire rope 1 and the connecting rod 4. The deformable member 5 has a force-bearing portion 51 for the steel wire rope 1 to bypass. When the steel wire rope 1 is tightened, the force-bearing portion 51 drives the deformable member 5 to deform and provide a buffering torque for the steel wire rope 1 until the steel wire rope 1 cannot be tightened. A limiting structure for limiting the deformable member 5 is provided on the mounting seat 2, and when the force-bearing portion 51 is forced to drive the deformable member 5 to deform, the limiting structure always limits the deformable member 5.
[0023] When the rear seat belt buckle force limiting assembly of the vehicle is in use, the deformable member 5 provides support for the steel wire rope 1, and combined with the rigidity of the steel wire rope 1 itself, when the steel wire rope 1 is not subjected to a torque exceeding the set torque, the steel wire rope 1 will not tighten, and the seat belt buckle connected to the steel wire rope 1 will not move outward, which is a normal working state; when an emergency braking traffic accident occurs, the torque transmitted to the buckle by the seat belt wrapped around the abdomen of the rear occupant exceeds the set torque, at which time the steel wire rope 1 tightens, and the force-bearing portion 51 drives the deformable member 5 to deform to provide a buffering torque, and the buckle drives the steel wire rope 1 to extend outward, preventing the seat belt wrapped around the abdomen of the rear occupant from causing harm to the occupant, until the steel wire rope 1 can no longer tighten, and the seat belt wrapped around the abdomen of the rear occupant plays a restraining role to protect the rear occupant, thereby improving the safety of use.
[0024] During use, the limiting structure limits the deformable member 5 to prevent the deformable member 5 from being separated from the mounting seat 2 due to force. The deformable member 5 fully bears the compression force generated by the wire rope 1 during emergency braking, and deforms to provide a complete buffering torque. The deformable member 5 does not have failure problems. The rear seat belt buckle force limiting assembly of the vehicle has good working stability and good safety in use.
[0025] To further elaborate, in this embodiment, the deformable member 5 is U-shaped, and the middle cross bar of the deformable member 5 is the force-bearing portion 51. The side bars 52 on both sides of the deformable member 5 are arranged toward the connecting rod 4. The limiting structure includes two limiting bars 6 fixedly connected to the mounting seat 2. The two limiting bars 6 are respectively located at the two inner bends of the deformable member 5 and the outer walls of the rod body are provided for the deformable member 5 to abut. The wire rope 1 is wound around the middle of the force-bearing portion 51 and is located between the two limiting bars 6. The two side bars 52 of the deformable member 5 are respectively located between the corresponding limiting bars 6 and the inner wall of the mounting seat 2. After the deformation of the deformable member 5 is completed, the two inner walls of the mounting seat 2 are always provided for the two side bars 52 to abut.
[0026] After the steel wire rope 1 is wound around the force-bearing part 51, the two ends of the force-bearing part 51 near the inner bend will abut against the two limit rods 6. The two limit rods 6 limit the deformation member 5 so that the force-bearing part 51 will not approach the connecting rod 4 without exceeding the set torque. When an emergency braking traffic accident occurs, the steel wire rope 1 is tightened, and the force-bearing part 51 is subjected to a torque exceeding the set torque. The middle part of the force-bearing part 51 is stressed and bends and displaces toward the connecting rod 4, and at the same time, a force is generated to drive the two side rods 52 to expand outward. The inner walls on both sides of the mounting seat 2 are provided for the ends of the two side rods 52 to abut against each other, so that the force-bearing part 51 drives the two side rods 52 to move in the direction away from the connecting rod 4, and under the action of the force, the displaced parts of the two side rods 52 are bent around the limiting rod 6, and then driven by the force-bearing part 51 to be straightened, and this cycle is repeated, thereby providing a buffer torque until the deformation ends. The two limiting rods 6 are always provided for the deformation member 5 to abut against, and the deformation member 5 will not separate from the limiting rod 6, thereby ensuring that the force-bearing part 51 and the two side rods 52 are deformed normally and have good working stability.
[0027] The steel wire rope 1 is located between the two limiting rods 6. Even if the steel wire rope 1 is subjected to uneven force, resulting in a deviation in the position around the middle of the force-bearing portion 51, the two limiting rods 6 play a limiting and blocking role on the steel wire rope 1, and the steel wire rope 1 still acts on the force-bearing portion 51 to deform it. The limiting rod 6 can be fixedly connected to the mounting seat 2 by existing connection methods such as riveting, welding, threaded connection, or tenon connection. In this embodiment, the limiting rod 6 is riveted, which is described in detail below.
[0028] The inner walls on both sides of the mounting seat 2 have a plurality of protruding limiting protrusions 7, each limiting protrusion 7 is respectively provided for the top and / or bottom of the two side rods 52 of the deformation member 5 to abut. This further plays a limiting role, and when the deformation member 5 is subjected to force, the two side rods 52 will not tilt and affect the deformation effect of the force-bearing part 51; in this embodiment, the mounting seat 2 is formed with four limiting protrusions 7 by riveting, and the inner walls on both sides of the mounting seat 2 have two limiting protrusions 7 for the top of the corresponding side rods 52 to abut; in actual manufacturing, the inner walls on both sides of the mounting seat 2 may have two rows of limiting protrusions 7 distributed up and down, and the two side rods 52 are respectively located between the corresponding two rows of limiting protrusions 7, and the limiting protrusions 7 limit the top and bottom of the side rods 52, and the limiting protrusions 7 located below the side rods 52 also play the role of lifting the deformation member 5, which is convenient for the connection of the wire rope 1; of course, in actual manufacturing, the mounting seat 2 may be threaded with screws, and the parts of the screws passing through the inner walls on both sides of the mounting seat 2 are limiting protrusions 7.
[0029] The force-bearing part 51 is sleeved with a curved limiting plate 8, which has a limiting surface for the steel wire rope 1 to bypass and is a concave arc surface. The limiting plate 8 is not only convenient for the connection of the steel wire rope 1, but also allows the limiting plate 8 to concentrate the torque applied by the steel wire rope 1 to the force-bearing part 51 to ensure the use effect. The limiting plate 8 also protects the limiting part to prevent the steel wire rope 1 from scratching the force-bearing part 51 and affecting the deformation effect. In this embodiment, the limiting plate 8 is an iron plate. In actual manufacturing, the limiting plate 8 can be a stainless steel plate, a carbon fiber plate, an aluminum alloy plate, or a high-molecular polyethylene plastic plate.
[0030] A support block 9 supported at the bottom of the deformable member 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 2, and the support block 9 is provided with a clearance groove for the steel wire rope 1 to pass around. This facilitates the positioning of the deformable member 5, and also lifts the force-bearing part 51, which is convenient for the connection of the steel wire rope 1, and also avoids interference, and the deformation process of the force-bearing part 51 is smooth.
[0031] The mounting seat 2 has a front wall 21 connected to both side walls thereof, a stopper 10 is embedded in the middle of the front wall 21, and the mounting seat 2 has a connecting portion 22 located between the connecting rod 4 and the force-bearing portion 51. There are two connecting portions 22, and the two connecting ends 3 of the steel wire rope 1 are respectively connected. The steel wire rope 1 is folded in half and passes through the connecting rod 4 from bottom to top, and then passes through the force-bearing portion 51 from top to bottom, and passes through the stopper 10. In this way, the steel wire rope 1 is conveniently and firmly connected, and the torque applied by the steel wire rope 1 to the connecting rod 4 and the force-bearing portion 51 is concentrated and reasonable. In this embodiment, the two connecting ends 3 of the steel wire rope 1 pass through the connecting portion 22 and are riveted with a steel sleeve to achieve fixed connection. The single steel wire rope 1 is folded in half into two strands, with good connection strength and good working stability.
[0032] There are grooves 23 at the middle of the top of both side walls of the mounting seat 2. The mounting seat 2 is covered with a cover plate 11 that covers the deformable member 5, the wire rope 1, and the connecting rod 4 in the mounting cavity. The cover plate 11 has an embedded groove 23 and a convex block 111 that presses down the limit block 10. The end of the cover plate 11 away from the front wall 21 has a flange 112 folded toward the bottom surface of the mounting seat 2. The mounting seat 2 has a limit hole, and the flange 112 has a limit convex block 1121 embedded in the limit hole. The two limit rods 6 pass through the cover plate 11, the mounting seat 2, and the supporting block 9, and the two ends are riveted to the cover plate 11 and the mounting seat 2 respectively. This has a compact structure, the cover plate 11 and the mounting seat 2 are firmly connected, and the cover plate 11 plays a protective role to avoid damage to parts and ensure that the deformable member 5 works smoothly.
