[0002] While current driver-side frontal airbags can provide effective cushioning protection for the driver, the traditional driver's airbag is located inside the steering wheel, which takes up a significant amount of space. Furthermore, with technological advancements, more and more functions will be integrated into the steering wheel, and the electronic components that support these functions will require space to be placed on the steering wheel. Furthermore, with the advancement and development of autonomous driving technology in recent years, the steering wheel will need to be folded or even eliminated in order to create more interior space. Furthermore, with autonomous driving becoming increasingly common, front passenger seats will be required to rotate to face the rear passengers, and seats will rotate at large angles. In this case, the traditional driver and passenger airbags will no longer be able to provide effective protection in the event of an accident.

[0003] In addition, as electric vehicles replace a large number of mechanical watches in the car with electronic screens, the passenger seat trim has also been replaced by entertainment screens, and a large number of cars have begun to add rear-seat entertainment. With the increase of electronic screens, when a car collides, a large amount of glass fragments will fly out and cause irreversible damage to the car occupants. Based on the above-mentioned automobile development trends, the use of seat belt airbags has become a guarantee to provide good protection for car occupants. Utility Model Content
