The trigger mechanism detects the abnormal state of the vehicle 40 to trigger the gas generator 20 to work, so that the airbag 10 is inflated and expanded to form a flexible protective layer, and the airbag 10 set on the vehicle component plays a protective role.

[0034] In order to ensure that the airbag 10 is inflated quickly, the airbag 10 is designed in the case, specifically, as an embodiment one Figures 3-4 As shown, the airbag 10 includes a bottom cloth 11 and a first shaped cloth 12, the first shaped cloth 12 is connected (sewn and sealed) on the bottom cloth 11 and forms an annular air channel 13 and at least two support air channels 14, the outer circle of the annular air channel 13 is preferably matched with the shape of the bottom cloth 11, and the shape of the bottom cloth 11 is preferably matched with the shape of the vehicle component it protects. The support air channel 14 is located at the inner circle of the annular air channel 13, the support air channel 14 is arranged in cross, and the support air channels 14 intersected with each other are communicated at the intersection point, and at the same time, the two ends of the support air channel 14 are communicated with the annular air channel 13, thereby forming a pipeline-shaped communication network, that is, the annular air channel 13 and the support air channel 14 cooperate to separate a plurality of grids. In the case, two support air channels 14 are provided, and the number of separated grids is four, and the size and shape of the four grids can be different, which can be adjusted according to the bottom surface condition of the vehicle component.
