Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for the guide plate of side air bag, and more specifically relate to the guide plate that is used for the side air bag that prevents that the side air bag from upwards launching, make to allow the side air bag easily launch, and guarantee when the side airbag deployment expansion of side airsac tube in succession in downward direction.
Background technology
As known usually in the art, the impulsive force during the air bag that is used for automobile provides sensor running at high speed with sensing when bumping or stop suddenly.Therefore, when depending on the bump grade to human body to be applied when sensor transmits signal, supply gas in the airsac tube and its inflation is preserved from protection chaufeur or passenger.
Though air bag may once not move in the whole life-span of vehicle, it must correctly move and must not move when not requiring its operation when having an accident.Therefore, air bag is a safety apparatus, and it has required the serviceability of height.
Air bag is installed in the bearing circle at the seat that is used for chaufeur usually and is used in passenger's each of instrument carrier panel at seat.When bumping, make air bag operation by shock transducer and electronic control unit (ECU), and air bag is cooperated with safety strap and is protected the occupant to preserve from.
If bump, then shock transducer depends on that to ECU transmission signal and ECU the grade of bump determines whether to move air bag.When needs operation air bag, actuate aerator and make the airsac tube inflation.
Aerator is connected to the airsac tube that remains on folded state.When ECU actuated the firing unit of aerator, fire lighter was lighted and the gas maker burns to generate gas.As a result of, a large amount of gas of instantaneous generation is introduced in the airsac tube, and airsac tube is promptly inflated.
Simultaneously, if side collision takes place, purline part gross distortion and extending into significantly in the passenger space reducing the size of passenger space, so occupant's head injuries evil rate increases.Therefore, provide countermeasure to protect the occupant to prevent side collision recently.
The air bag module that is provided on the vehicular sideview usually is called side air bag or curtain airbag, and installs along the headliner of vehicle.
The side air bag extends to rear pillar from front pillar by center pillar along the back timber of the roof that has constituted vehicle.The side air bag moves as follows according to the principle identical with preceding air bag, that is, make the side airsac tube can depend on the bump grade expansion when side impact is applied to vehicle.
The side air bag component comprises the air bag, the center pillar gadget that is installed in the purline below that are installed in the purline, be installed as towards inner space with the head lining of bending when the side airbag deployment with the pilot unit of the expansion of the side air bag that is used to lead.
Hereinafter the structure of side air bag will be described particularly with reference to figure 1.
With reference to figure 1, conventional side air bag comprises the side air bag 12, the center pillar gadget 13 that is installed in purline 10 belows that are installed in the purline 10, be installed as towards inner space with the head lining 14 of bending when 12 expansion of side air bag with the pilot unit 15 of the expansion of the side air bag 12 that is used to lead.
In the side air bag of routine, because make inner orientation structural distortion by external impact, the deployable property degradation of side air bag.Also because be not provided for retraining the device that separates that the side air bag does not upwards launch, power is expanded and is difficult to crooked head lining to launch the side air bag.Further, because do not form the reinforcement part, be difficult to one after the other launch the side air bag at the either side of side air bag.
And when the side air bag was directed to the inner space improperly and is the passenger space of vehicle, then the side air bag may launch in the center pillar gadget.In addition, when the side airbag deployment, because it may interfere with the center pillar gadget, so be not easy one after the other to launch the side air bag.
As a result of, can not successfully implement, can not guarantee the operation correctly of side air bag because be used to launch the process of side air bag, as its as a result the serviceability of side air bag worsen.

When airsac tube 36 launches, when door 32b is opened by airsac tube 36, because three sides of door 32b are freely from housing 32, so door 32b rotation (when when Fig. 3 observes, being clickwise), and with the last end in contact of center pillar gadget 22, as its result between center pillar gadget 22 and inner panel 26 space sealing and the expansion of air bag 30 correctly led.
In this way, the airsac tube 36 in preventing to launch is incorporated in the space between center pillar gadget 22 and the inner panel 26.
In more detail, when airsac tube 36 launched, separated from housing 32 upper end of door 32b, and the lower wall of housing 32 is pushed down with clickwise.Subsequently, guide plate 34 and the inner panel 26 of orientating the lower wall of contiguous housing 32 as contacts and limits the lower wall of housing 32 and the rotation amount of door 32b.Therefore, a door 32b can stably remain on the upper end of center pillar gadget 22, and the space between center pillar gadget 22 and the inner panel 26 is closed, and makes to prevent that airsac tube 36 is incorporated in the space between center pillar gadget 22 and the inner panel 26.
Therefore, when airsac tube 36 launched, as being shown in phantom line in Fig. 3, the space between center pillar gadget 22 and inner panel 22 was directed to the door 32b sealing of plate 34 and housing 32.Therefore, the air bag 30 in the expansion is not introduced in the space between center pillar gadget 22 and the inner panel 26, and normally is deployed in the passenger space of vehicle, therefore can protect occupant's side part, particularly head effectively.
When door 32b opens as described above, the end of head lining 24 separate from the upper end of center pillar gadget 22 and as Fig. 3 with bending shown in the imaginary line, therefore define opening, can launch by this opening airsac tube 36.
Yet, in this type of side air bag,, guide plate 34 considers its intensity deficiently because being formed by plate simply, when airsac tube 36 launched, guide plate 34 may be rotated with the lower wall of housing 32, and contacted with inner panel 26 because of gaseous tension damages.
Therefore, when airsac tube 36 is introduced into and is deployed in the space between center pillar gadget 22 and the inner panel 26, caused being difficult to correctly protect occupant's problem.If being damaged, guide plate 34 also will cause serious problem to be impossible replace guide plate 34.
