Said spool 2 is wholy set among the said framework 1, and two end cap places respectively among the through hole of framework 1 sidewall on the spool 2.During free state, said spool 2 rotatable floating are arranged among the said taking-up device framework 1, and the internal tooth of through hole does not contact on the external tooth on its end cap and the taking-up device framework 1.Spool 2 is supported by the projecting shaft in its outside, end cap two ends, and spool 2 can freely rotate, and realizes the winding and the release of ribbon.And in when locking, the relevant position internal tooth is meshed on the external tooth of said spool 2 two end cap and the said framework 1, and spool 2 can't rotate.
In the taking-up device of present embodiment, the two ends of its torsion bar 3 are arranged at the two end cap place of spool, and do not pass end cap, with respect to the torsion bar in the background technology, and the torsion bar contraction in length of present embodiment.The projecting shaft that the part that is shortened is set at the end cap outside replaces.When bumping, ribbon drives said mandrel rotation, and then drives the torsion bar rotation.And two end cap is locked on the framework, and two end cap meshes the both ends of torsion bar simultaneously, makes the both ends of torsion bar to rotate.And torsion bar 3 middle parts make its pulling force that bears ribbon through the circumferential external tooth at middle part and the internal gearing of mandrel 2-1, and both ends are then owing to the gear meshing relation of end external tooth and end cap 2-2 inner end surface is fixed; When the pulling force of ribbon reaches certain degree; The deformation that twists of this torsion bar 3; Thereby make mandrel 2-1 that the rotation of certain angle take place, the release portion ribbon, the torsional deformation characteristic of this torsion bar 3 can suitably be emitted ribbon; Make ribbon be controlled at a reservation value, avoided the damage of excessive binding force human body to the binding force of human body; Simultaneously, ribbon can not be emitted long distance again and caused the inefficacy to the human body constraint.
In the present embodiment; Because the torsion bar contraction in length, and the seam setting of inboard boss of end cap and mandrel, it only bears the application force that comes from mandrel and the antagonistic force of end cap; Avoid torsion bar directly to bear the ribbon tractive force; Thereby its force-bearing situation is simple and controlled, can design as required and satisfy the force limit pin that limit power requires, and its safety and stability in use.In addition, the torsion bar stage casing is reversed, and is easier to produce well-distributed distortion, avoids the too high and fracture failure of local stress; Simultaneously, the left and right sides is born half the limit power value respectively, can reduce the required diameter of torsion bar.Because the material of torsion bar need satisfy special torsion requirement, its cost is high, makes and requires height, adopts short torsion bar can obviously practice thrift cost in the present embodiment.
In addition, in the above embodiment of the present invention, internal tooth section 1-3 is set on the through hole of said taking-up device framework, and the position of internal tooth section 1-3 is the pairing position of lead that is wound in the ribbon on the spool.Put in order the structure that circle all is provided with internal tooth with respect to through hole, the structure of present embodiment can guarantee that spool is locked in definite position when locking, and the position of internal tooth section 1-3 promptly is set.
Secondly; In the embodiments of the invention; The force limit pin 2-6 that is provided with at the mandrel two ends of said spool 2 as stated, when spool 2 lockup states, mandrel 2-1 is owing to receive the pulling force from belt-strap; Can produce rotation trend by relative both sides end cap, and the external tooth 3-1 at said force limit pin 2-6 and torsion bar 3 middle parts can stop its rotation.Force limit pin 2-6 receives the shearing force of end cap and mandrel 2-1.When bumping, there is the tractive force loading procedure that changes from small to big rapidly in the ribbon tractive force.In this process, when tractive force less than force limit pin 2-6 bear threshold value the time, the tractive force that said mandrel 2-1 is born is carried on the force limit pin 2-6, this tractive force is not born or mainly do not born to said torsion bar 3; When this value of thrust increase to above force limit pin 2-6 bear threshold value the time, force limit pin 2-6 will fracture, the tractive force of the ribbon that transmits through mandrel 2-1 is born in torsion bar 3 beginning fully, and then the torsional deflection process of torsion bar 3 just can take place.So limit power threshold value that force limit pin 2-6 can regulate this safety strap.
In the present embodiment, the external tooth at said torsion bar 3 middle parts is provided with the hypodontia mouth, is called to dodge tooth and lack; The tooth of dodging on first section 3a right side as shown in Figure 5 lacks 3a-2-1.Figure 10 dodges the scarce 3a-2-1 of tooth for the middle part external tooth has torsion bar inserts the scheme drawing that its outer toothed portion matches with the mandrel through hole among the mandrel 2-1.Can find out by Figure 10; The said tooth of dodging lacks 3a-2-1 after the position that is provided with on the torsion bar 3 is satisfied this torsion bar 3 and inserted the through hole of mandrel 2-1, dodges that tooth lacks that 3-1-1 aims at or rough alignment mandrel 2-1 goes up that being used to of being provided with passes and the fixing hold down groove 2-4 of ribbon 6.This hold down groove 2-4 is a prolate type through hole, and it is provided with and satisfies ribbon and pass the center shaft of direction perpendicular to said mandrel 2-1, and needs as much as possible near said center shaft.Saidly dodge tooth to lack 3-1-1 be that ribbon 6 passes hold down groove 2-4 and provides and let bit space; Cause ribbon 6 and this interference of tooth to avoid teeth being set at this place; And cause ribbon 6 at this place away from mandrel 2-1 line of centers, and be unfavorable for ribbon 6 when tension mandrel 2-1 stable.
Shown in Fig. 6 is the end profile of tooth of first section 3a left end of torsion bar 3a-1 shown in Figure 5, and Fig. 7 shows the cooperation figure that torsion bar 3 left end 3a-1 insert the shrinkage pool of left side end cap 2-2a; Fig. 8 is the end profile of tooth of first section 3a right-hand end of torsion bar 3a-2 shown in Figure 5, can see that the tooth of dodging that its end is provided with lacks 3a-2-1, and Fig. 9 shows the cooperation figure that torsion bar 3 right-hand end 3a-2 insert the shrinkage pool of mandrel 2-1.
In the present embodiment; Torsion bar is set to discrete two sections and has following effect: can the torsion bar section combination of two same diameter or different-diameter be used; Capable of being combinedly go out a plurality of limit power values; Thereby can adopt less torsion bar to form taking-up device, satisfy the demands of different of different automobile vendors safety strap limit power value with a plurality of limit power values.Show the scheme drawing of different-diameter torsion bar Duan Zuwei torsion bar like Figure 11.In addition, also can use the torsion bar combination of identical material or unlike material to use, can obtain different limit power effects equally.
In addition, because torsion bar is to adopt special substance and process through cold heading technique, for the torsion bar of each diameter, all independent mould will be arranged, its manufacturing equipment and mould are expensive.Adopt the two sectional type torsion bar of present embodiment, can realize that the torsion bar section that limited processing mold processes is combined into the torsion bar with a plurality of limit power values, thereby can reduce die sinking quantity, practice thrift manufacturing cost.And the torsion bar of shorter size is more convenient for processing, and passing rate of processing is higher, and the cost of each mould is also lower relatively.
