[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this invention, various structural and implementation methods can be interchanged by those skilled in the art without altering the essential spirit of the invention. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of the invention or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of the invention.

[0027] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. They are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0028] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1-3, the two-wheeled vehicle airbag includes a first air chamber 1 and a second air chamber 2. The first air chamber 1 and the second air chamber 2 are connected, and a front recessed area 3 is formed between the first air chamber 1 and the second air chamber 2. The front recessed area 3 faces the driver 10. After the first air chamber 1 is deployed, it corresponds to the head of the driver 10. After the second air chamber 2 is deployed, it corresponds to the abdomen of the driver 10. The front recessed area 3 corresponds to the arm of the driver 10.

[0029] Specifically, Figure 1 is a side view of the two-wheeled vehicle airbag after deployment. The first air chamber 1 is located above, and the second air chamber 2 is located below the first air chamber 1. A frontal recessed area 3 is formed between the first air chamber 1 and the second air chamber 2 on the side facing the driver 10. The frontal recessed area 3 is recessed in the opposite direction to the driver 10. As shown in Figure 3, the frontal recessed area 3 corresponds exactly to the driver 10's arm. After deployment, the first air chamber 1 corresponds to the driver 10's head and is used for head cushioning protection. After deployment, the second air chamber 2 corresponds to the driver 10's abdomen and is used for abdominal cushioning protection.

[0030] When the vehicle is involved in a collision, the two-wheeled vehicle airbags deploy towards the driver (10). The frontal depression area (3) corresponds to the driver's arm, reducing the impact on the arm and allowing the driver to maintain their grip on the handlebars, thus keeping their posture largely unchanged. This ensures that the first and second air chambers (1 and 2) fit snugly against the driver (10) after deployment, providing better protection and offering good protection against minor offset collisions and side impacts.

[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, the first air chamber 1 is also provided with a head recessed area 11.

[0032] Specifically, the head recessed area 11 is located on the side of the first air chamber 1 facing the driver 10. As shown in Figure 3, when the airbag deploys, the first air chamber 1 contacts the head of the driver 10, and the head recessed area 11 can hold the head of the driver 10 in place, increasing the relative stability between the airbag and the driver 10, and providing better protection for the head.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes an upper pull strap, one end of which is connected to the top of the first air chamber 1 and the other end is connected to the bottom of the second air chamber 2. The connection between the upper pull strap and the first air chamber 1 forms a head recessed area 11.

[0034] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2, the upper pull strap includes a first pull strap 4 and a second pull strap 5. One end of the first pull strap 4 is connected to the top of the first air chamber 1, and the other end of the first pull strap 4 is connected to the bottom of the second air chamber 2. One end of the second pull strap 5 is connected to the top of the first air chamber 1, and the other end is connected to the middle section of the first pull strap 4.

[0035] The first pull strap 4 and the second pull strap 5 are connected to adjacent positions at the top of the first air chamber 1, and pull a local area of ​​the top of the first air chamber 1 downward to form a head recessed area 11. The length of the second pull strap 5 is shorter than the length of the first pull strap 4, which helps to save materials.

[0036] Alternatively, there may be only one pull strap or two or more.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1-2, the second air chamber 2 is also provided with an abdominal recessed area 12.

[0038] Specifically, the abdominal recessed area 12 is located on the side of the second air chamber 2 facing the driver 10. As shown in Figure 3, when the airbag deploys, the second air chamber 2 contacts the abdomen of the driver 10, and the abdominal recessed area 12 can hold the abdomen of the driver 10 in place, increasing the relative stability between the airbag and the driver 10, and providing better protection for the head.

[0039] Furthermore, it also includes a pull-down strap, one end of which is connected to the upper part of the second air chamber 2 and the other end is connected to the bottom of the second air chamber 2. The pull-down strap and the upper part of the second air chamber 2 form an abdominal concave region 12.

[0040] Specifically, as shown in Figures 1-2, the pull strap includes a third pull strap 6 and a fourth pull strap 7. One end of the third pull strap 6 and the fourth pull strap 7 are connected to different positions on the upper part of the second air chamber 2, and the other end is connected to different positions on the bottom of the second air chamber 2.

[0041] One end of the third pull strap 6 and the fourth pull strap 7 are connected to the upper part of the second air chamber 2, and pull the upper part of the second air chamber 2 downward to form the abdominal concave area 12.

[0042] Alternatively, there may be only one dropdown strip or two or more.

[0043] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 1-2 and 4, it also includes a main piece 101 and two side pieces 102, with the two side pieces 102 located on the left and right sides respectively, and the main piece 101 connected between the two side pieces 102.

[0044] Specifically, the two side panels 102 are identical in shape and size, and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main panel 101. The main panel 101 is a long strip of woven fabric, which is located between the two side panels 102 during sewing. One side of the main panel 101 is sewn to the outer edge of one side panel 102, and the other side is sewn to the outer edge of the other side panel 102. Finally, the two short sides of the main panel 101 are joined together and sewn to form a closed airbag.

[0045] As shown in Figure 4, the first pull strap 4, the second pull strap 5, the third pull strap 6, and the fourth pull strap 7 are sewn inside the airbag. All four pull straps are sewn to the main piece 101. The pull straps can be sewn to the main piece 101 first, and then the main piece 101 can be sewn to the side piece 102.

[0046] Preferably, the main body 101 is also provided with an air inlet 101a and an air vent 101b for a gas generator. When the gas generator is triggered, gas enters the airbag through the air inlet 101a, and the air vent 101b is used to release gas during the airbag deployment process to prevent the airbag pressure from becoming too high.

[0047] Furthermore, each of the two side pieces 102 has a recess in the middle, which forms a front recessed area 3 after being connected to the main piece 101.

[0048] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the two-wheeled vehicle includes a vehicle body 20 and a two-wheeled vehicle airbag in any of the above embodiments. The two-wheeled vehicle airbag is installed at the front of the two-wheeled vehicle and deploys from front to back when it is deployed.

[0049] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of airbag application on a motorcycle, and Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of airbag application on an electric bicycle. Before deployment, the airbag is folded up on the front of the two-wheeled vehicle or the vehicle in front. When the two-wheeled vehicle is involved in a collision, the gas generator is ignited, inflating the airbag. The airbag then deploys towards the driver 10, providing support and protection for the driver 10's head and abdomen.

[0050] The above description is merely the principle and preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several other modifications can be made based on the principle of the present invention, and these modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
