[0025] Next, in combination with the embodiments of the present utility model, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] As shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 A wrapped driver airbag assembly includes an icon cover 1, an airbag cover 3 and an installation frame 4. The airbag cover 3 and the installation frame 4 are detachably connected. An airbag leather 2 is sleeved on the surface of the airbag cover 3. A sewing thread 21 for edge sealing is formed at the edge of the airbag leather 2. A seam groove 33 corresponding to the position of the sewing thread 21 is opened on the surface of the airbag cover 3. The seam groove 33 is used to hide the sewing thread 21. A tear line structure 34 is formed on the back of the airbag cover 3.

[0027] In this solution, the airbag leather 2 is wrapped on the surface of the airbag cover 3, which can effectively cover the defects on the surface of the airbag cover 3 and optimize the touch feel. At the same time, the airbag cover 3 is designed with a tear line structure 34, and the structural strength of the airbag leather 2 is weakened along the trend direction of the tear line structure 34, improving the stability of the airbag ignition and ensuring that the airbag will not splash leather or fail to deploy when ignited.

[0028] As an example, the airbag cover 3 is injection molded from TPO TT1081BZ material. After the surface of the airbag cover 3 is treated by a fluorination process, the airbag leather 2 is bonded to the airbag cover 3 with glue.

[0029] As an example, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 An installation groove 32 is opened on the surface of the airbag cover 3. The size of the installation groove 32 matches the size of the icon cover 1. After the airbag leather 2 is wrapped on the surface of the airbag cover 3, the back of the icon cover 1 is heated and melted, and the icon cover 1 is pressed at the position corresponding to the installation groove 32 until the back of the icon cover 1 passes through the airbag leather 2 and is embedded in the installation groove 32. At this time, the icon cover 1 and the installation groove 32 are hot melt welded together.

[0030] As an example, in this solution, the material of the airbag leather 2 is PU + PA6. Combining PU and PA6 means that the airbag leather 2 has both the elegant appearance and good touch of PU, as well as the strength and durability of PA6.

[0031] Further refining the above solution, as Figure 1 shown, a sealed cavity is formed between the airbag cover 3 and the mounting frame 4. An airbag body 41 and a gas generator 42 are arranged in the sealed cavity. Among them, the gas generator 42 is wrapped in the middle position of the airbag body 41. The airbag system is usually connected to the collision sensor of the vehicle. Once a collision signal is received, the gas generated by the gas generator 42 quickly fills the airbag body 41, causing it to expand rapidly. As the airbag body 41 expands, it will quickly deploy, filling the surrounding space to form a buffer zone. The tear line structure 34 ensures that at the moment when the airbag body 41 expands, the airbag cover 3 can be effectively torn, and the airbag body 41 can be completely exposed. After the airbag body 41 is fully inflated, it will form a soft surface that contacts the occupant's body, reducing the risk of the occupant being injured by dispersing and absorbing the impact force generated by the collision.

[0032] As an example, as Figure 5 shown, the tear line structure 34 is in an "H" shape. The "H"-shaped tear line structure 34 can guide the tearing of the airbag cover 3 when the airbag body 41 deploys, ensuring that the airbag body 41 can be quickly and completely released. Moreover, by controlling the tearing direction, the tear line structure 34 can avoid problems such as accidental tearing and incomplete deployment of part of the airbag.

[0033] Further refining the above solution, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 shown, a buckle 31 is integrally formed on the back of the airbag cover 3, and the buckle 31 is fixedly connected to the card slot on the surface of the mounting frame 4.

[0034] As an example, as Figure 5 shown, reinforcing ribs are provided on the back of the airbag cover 3. The reinforcing ribs are used to cover the A side of the airbag assembly to avoid appearance defects.

[0035] As an example, as Figure 3 shown, a horn logo is formed on the surface of the airbag leather 2 through a hot stamping process.

[0036] As an example, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6As shown, the structural strength of the airbag leather 2 is weakened according to the trend direction of the tear line structure 34. That is, the structural strength at different positions of the airbag leather 2 is different. The local strength is lower closer to the tear line structure 34 and higher farther away from the tear line structure 34, which is beneficial to improving the stability when the airbag is detonated.
