Bag body of srs air bag with two gas layers

Abstract

To address the problems, that is, shocks at the time of binding are great because the pressure of a bag body of an expanded air bag is high when a collision accident causes the air bag to operate, and a danger of brain contusion when an occupant taking a medicine or a supplement containing a component for expediting blood circulation is hit on the head during expansion or by the bag body of the expanded air bag.SOLUTION: A second air bag 2 is provided on the side of a bag body of a conventional air bag with which an occupant comes into contact with, and one or more ventilation ports 3 are provided on the surface of a bag body 1 so as to be connected to the second bag body 2. Thus, even when the first bag body 1 expands maximum, a gas flowing from the first bag body 1 through the ventilation port 3 into the second bag body 2 receives resistance from the ventilation port 3 to delay the increase of pressure. Thus, soft cushioning performance can be provided at the time of binding.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an SRS airbag bag that restrains and protects an occupant when the bag, filled with gas, contracts during a vehicle collision, and relates to an airbag bag that reduces pressure on the occupant. [Background technology]

[0003] Summary of the Invention Problem to be solved by the invention

[0004] Conventionally, SRS airbags are a common device that ensures the safety of occupants by controlling air pressure during a vehicle collision. However, in the case of a collision at high speed, the high pressure of the airbag during the inflation process can restrain the occupant, causing excessive adverse effects.

[0005] A known method to solve this problem is to restrain the occupant with a seat belt equipped with a pretensioner, and then leave the restraint of the occupant to the air bag when the air bag deployment reaches the contraction stage, but due to cost reasons, not all vehicles are equipped with this method.

[0006] There have also been accidents in the past where the airbag module was partially damaged, causing injury to the occupants when they were restrained.

[0007] In addition, passengers who take medications or supplements that contain blood-thinning ingredients may be at risk of suffering a cerebral contusion if subjected to strong pressure on the head.

[0008] In the present invention, the bag of the conventional SRS airbag is referred to as the first bag 1 and the internal gas layer as the first gas layer 12, while the bag newly provided on the side of the conventional SRS airbag bag that restrains the occupant is referred to as the second bag 2 and the internal gas layer as the second gas layer 22.

[0009] The first bag 1 and the second bag 2 share a part, and constitute a first gas layer 12 and a second gas layer 22. The shared part of the first bag 1 and the second bag 2 is provided with one or a plurality of vent holes 3 that communicate from the first gas layer 12 to the second gas layer 22.

[0010] In constructing the present invention, a conventional method may be used in which a partition 11 with one or more vent holes 3 is provided inside the bag of an SRS airbag, or a structure may be used in which a second bag 2 is sewn to the outside of the bag of an SRS airbag and one or more vent holes 3 are provided in a partition 11 separating the first bag 1 and the second bag 2. Effects of the Invention

[0011] In the present invention, the SRS airbag maintains conventional performance, and when gas passes through one or more vents 3 provided in the partition 11 between the first bag body 1 and the second bag body 2, resistance is encountered and the amount of gas flowing in is restricted, thereby maintaining a low pressure in the second bag body 2 on the side restraining the occupant. Therefore, it is possible to restrain the occupant at a low pressure without compromising conventional performance, and improve cushioning performance.

[0012] When restrained, the occupant is restrained by the low-pressure second bag 2 and cushioned by the first bag 1, which functions similarly to the bag of a normal SRS airbag. In this case, the gas that has flowed into the second bag 2 flows back through the ventilation hole 3, making it possible to restrain the occupant at a low pressure.

[0013] In addition, it is possible to increase the speed of the entire process of deployment, from inflation to contraction of the bag, thereby improving performance.

[0014] Problems that arise from increasing the deployment speed include accidents due to partial breakage of the airbag module, which has been the subject of accidents in the past, but this risk is reduced by blocking it with the partition 11 that separates the two air layers.

[0015] The present invention is also applicable to side airbags that do not have seat belt support. [Brief description of the drawings]
