[0014] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: The directional terms used in the detailed description paragraphs are only for the convenience of those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions described in this application based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setting," "installation," "connection," etc., should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an airbag frame includes a base plate 1 and an airbag frame 2 fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Side fixing points 201 are fixedly connected to the short sides of both sides of the airbag frame 2, securing the airbag to the vehicle body. Multiple hook holes 202 and 203 are respectively provided on the long sides of both sides of the airbag frame 2. A guide slope 204 is provided on the airbag frame 2 above the hook holes 203. The guide slope 204 facilitates airbag installation and helps determine the airbag's installation direction. Multiple stiffening plates 205 are fixedly connected to the long sides of both sides of the airbag frame 2. One end of each stiffening plate 205 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1, reinforcing the base plate 1 and the airbag frame 2.

[0016] A through hole is provided in the middle of the base plate 1. A first cover plate 107 and a second cover plate 111 are hinged to the long side of the through hole. The first cover plate 107 and the second cover plate 111 are flexibly hinged to the base plate 1. When the airbag is deployed, the first cover plate 107 and the second cover plate 111 can be connected to the base plate 1 to prevent the first cover plate 107 and the second cover plate 111 from breaking and being thrown out, causing secondary injury to the passenger. A connecting block 108 is fixedly connected to the short side of the first cover plate 107 and is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. A connecting block 110 is fixedly connected to the short side of the second cover plate 111 and is fixedly connected to the base plate 1. Two connecting blocks 109 are fixedly connected to the long side of the first cover plate 107 near the second cover plate 111 and are fixedly connected to the second cover plate 111. There are six connecting blocks in total: 108 (connecting block 1), 109 (connecting block 2), and 110 (connecting block 3), which connect the first cover plate 107 and the second cover plate 111 respectively, and also connect the first cover plate 107 and the second cover plate 111 to the base plate 1. In this utility model, the thickness of the first cover plate 107 and the second cover plate 111 is 3.5mm to ensure that the airbag will not tear due to insufficient strength when it bursts; the thickness of the airbag frame 2 is 4mm to ensure that the airbag has sufficient strength when it rebounds after bursting.

[0017] A positioning point 102 is provided in the middle of the long side of one side of the base plate 1. Grooves 101 and 103 are respectively provided on the base plate 1 on both sides of positioning point 102. Grooves 4 105 and 106 are provided on the long side of the other side of the base plate 1. Positioning points 2 104 are provided on both short sides of the base plate 1. The presence of one positioning point 102 and two positioning points 2 104 on the base plate 1 primarily restricts the longitudinal and lateral movement of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 and the airbag frame 2 are welded using vibration friction welding.

[0018] The base plate 1, the first cover plate 107, and the second cover plate 111 are fixedly connected to the surface of the airbag frame 2 with multiple welded ribs facing away from each other. The height of the welded ribs is 2mm, the welding depth is 1mm, the spacing between the welded ribs is 6mm, and the width of the welded ribs is 3mm to ensure the strength of the weld. The number of hook holes 1 202 and hook holes 203 are different. The advantage of this design is that it can prevent the airbag from being installed backwards.

[0019] Finally, although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
