[0030] Safety belt switch, safety belt sensor and safety belt controller are arranged on each seat, each safety belt controller is connected to the safety belt CAN box, and the symbol of corresponding seat is lighted by combination instrument receiving the abnormal signal of safety belt CAN box. The safety belt CAN box has the same number of interfaces as the number of seats, and the interfaces correspond to the seats one by one. The combination instrument has a pre-set seat distribution diagram of the whole vehicle, when a seat is occupied but the safety belt is not buckled, the safety belt controller shows an abnormal state and sends it to the CAN box interface corresponding to the seat, the CAN box generates a message to the combination instrument, and when the combination instrument receives the abnormal information from the CAN box, the seat symbol corresponding to the interface is lighted, that is, the symbol corresponding to the seat is lighted in the seat distribution diagram of the whole vehicle.

[0031] As Figure 2 shown in a seat belt unfastening alarm device wiring diagram.

[0032] The seat is provided with a person sensor, a safety belt switch and a safety belt controller, and the safety belt switch and the person sensor are connected to the safety belt controller. The safety belt controller detects the person sensor and the safety belt switch, and gives an alarm when a seat is occupied but the safety belt is not buckled. All safety belt controllers are connected to the safety belt CAN box to receive signals from the safety belt controller. The safety belt CAN box is connected to the combination instrument through CANH and CANL for communication. The safety belt CAN box and the safety belt controller are powered by the vehicle body control module. To facilitate temporary cancellation of the safety belt alarm function, a rocker switch is connected to the power supply line from the vehicle body control module to the safety belt controller and the safety belt CAN box, so as to facilitate power supply and temporarily cancel the alarm function.

[0033] Specifically, in the embodiment, the person sensor is a safety belt SBR.

[0034] The safety belt SBR (seat belt reminder) is a membrane switch, and when a seat is not occupied, the resistance is greater than 10KΩ, and when a seat is occupied (>5KG), the resistance is less than 150Ω. The safety belt switch is a conventional contact switch, and is in an on state when the safety belt is not buckled, and is in an off state when the safety belt is buckled.

[0035] Case 1: a person buckles the safety belt, at this time the safety belt SBR resistance is less than 150Ω, but the safety belt switch is in an off state, there is no current in the loop, and the safety belt controller does not alarm.

[0036] Case 2: The passenger is seated but not wearing the seat belt. At this time, the seat belt SBR resistance < 150Ω, the seat belt switch is in the closed state, there is a large current in the loop, and the seat belt controller alarms.

[0037] Case 3: No passenger is seated. At this time, the seat belt SBR resistance > 10KΩ. If the seat belt is worn, the seat belt switch is closed, but because the resistance of the seat belt SBR is very large, the current in the loop is very small and can be ignored, and the seat belt controller does not alarm. If the seat belt is not worn, the seat belt switch is open, and there is no current in the loop, and the seat belt controller does not alarm. That is, when there is no passenger seated on the seat, whether the seat belt is worn or not, the seat belt controller does not alarm.

[0042] Step three, detect the state of the seat belt buckle through the seat belt switch. Determine whether the seat belt of the passenger seated is worn by the state of the seat belt buckle. If the seat belt is worn, end the process. If the seat belt is not worn, the indicator light flashes yellow, the buzzer prompts the passenger to "please wear the seat belt", and the CAN network reports an abnormal state, prompting the instrument to light up the seat belt symbol.

[0043] Step four, the combination instrument lights up the seat belt not worn alarm symbol in the passenger area according to the seat belt not worn alarm information sent by the seat belt CAN box on the CAN network.

[0044] Take Figure 4 as an example to explain steps two, three, and four in detail.

[0045] Assume that the left 81 and right 32 seats are occupied but not wearing seat belts, the rear 1 and rear 5 seats are not occupied, and the other seats are occupied and wearing seat belts.

[0046] Step two, first, by seat belt SBR detection seat has no one sitting. Detecting that the seat is not 1 and 5, since the seat is not sitting, whether or not to wear a seat belt will not exist danger, that is, for the seat 1 and 5, even if not wearing a seat belt will not report an exception, so when the seat is not sitting, directly end the process; for the seat 1 and 5, that is, the seat of the person continues to step three, to determine whether the seat belt is fastened.

[0047] Step three, by seat belt switch to detect the state of the seat belt buckle. The seat belt switch will detect the state of the seat left 81 and right 32 seat belt buckle is not wearing a seat belt, at this time the indicator light flashes yellow, the buzzer voice prompt passengers "please fasten your seat belt", while the seat left 81 and right 32 seat belt controller reads the respective seat of the abnormal state information and upload to the seat belt CAN box, the seat belt CAN box through CANH and CANL remind instrument light corresponding to the seat symbol. For the seat of the person and fasten the seat belt (that is, in addition to left 81 and right 32 seat of the person), the state is safe, no exception state, directly end the process.

[0048] Step four, the seat belt CAN box through the CAN network (that is, CANH and CANL) to send the seat belt not wearing alarm information to the combination instrument, prompting the combination instrument to light the corresponding seat symbol, such as Figure 3 , the abnormal state of the seat is red. Through the combination instrument, the seat belt state of the passenger area can be visualized, which can accurately locate the abnormal seat and remind the driver of the abnormal state.
