Because temporal sequence and the very fast motion process with described rotation direction counter-rotating, what may occur is, the band of power restriction is extracted out and is disturbed by strained movements in the early time at least in short-term, thereby the power limit levels short time that moves forward that is used for the crack force restriction is higher than the power limit levels designed to force limiting device.This for example may or snap in drive wheel and cause by piston wedging, and thus, it is disturbed that the band of power restriction is drawn back the gyroscopic movement of the required drive wheel of motion and tape spool.
In addition, the strained movements of drive wheel also is stuck because of following: piston is out snapping in the drive wheel in managing afterwards, and hinders the further rotation of drive wheel.The strained movements of drive wheel is blocked suddenly in the case, and tensioning power has unnecessarily reduced thus.
The target of the present invention thus belt tightener of the feature by having claim 1 realizes.The embodiment of present invention further optimization provides by dependent claims and accompanying drawing and description thereof.
According to basic conception of the present invention, propose: holding element is set, this holding element stretches into the part that is arranged in the drive wheel upstream on the sense of motion of piston in the described pipe, and the size of this holding element is provided so that: actuating device can be unhinderedly by being blocked with piston.The holding element that passes through to propose, piston initiatively stopped, and stop piston to move further into drive wheel and be stuck in wherein in this.Therefore the present invention utilizes following situation: piston has substantially different tasks with actuating device, and therefore has different size.The task that piston has is, the pressure chamber in the sealed tube and the overall diameter that therefore has approximate internal diameter corresponding to pipe.Described actuating device only is against on the piston, and the shape of this actuating device be designed to so that: this actuating device is passed to drive wheel by engaging into drive wheel with strained movements.The shape of actuating device therefore and drive wheel be complementary, wherein for minimum frictional losses, the size of actuating device specially is designed to, so that by being bearing on the described inwall, and the as far as possible little friction of generation.Therefore actuating device has the outside dimension that substantially is different from piston.Because the different size of piston and actuating device, the size of holding element can be designed as, actuating device unhinderedly passes through, and piston is booked.
To explain in detail the present invention according to a plurality of embodiment subsequently.Wherein:.
Fig. 1 illustrates the belt tightener of the holding element of the form with ring;
Fig. 2 illustrates the belt tightener of the holding element of latch (Blockierzahn) form that has in the outlet of stretching into pipe;
Fig. 3 illustrates the belt tightener of the holding element of the elastic element form that has in the outlet of stretching into pipe.
Fig. 1 illustrates belt tightener constructed according to the invention, and this belt tightener comprises piston-pipe unit, and this piston-pipe unit has pipe 1 and piston 2, and this piston can be interior driven at described pipe 1 by pyrotechnic.This piston 2 is to be close to hermetically on pipe 1 the inwall and the pressure chamber in the closure tube, and this pressure chamber can be by the pyrotechnic generator (not shown) and the impact that is under pressure.In addition, the drive wheel 3 with internal tooth section 5 is shown also among the figure, this drive wheel can be connected to the tape spool that is not illustrated of Webbing retractor antitorquely, and seat belt winding is on described tape spool.Finally be delivered on the safety strap for the strained movements with piston 2 is delivered on the drive wheel 3 or reaches on the tape spool, be provided with actuating device 6, this actuating device has the form of a string mass body against each other that unclamps, described mass body is directed in pipe 1, and in order to transmit strained movements, described mass body after leaving described pipe 1 can with the overall diameter that is arranged on drive wheel 3 on 4 engagements of domed recess.For minimum surface pressure, so described domed recess 4 adapts to the shape of mass body.In the embodiment of giving, mass body is that sphere and recess 4 correspondingly are the essentially identical spherical crown with shape of part ball of radius.Just in this point, belt tightener is corresponding to belt tightener known among the DE19512660A1, and therefore this known belt tightener is added in the application's the disclosure clearly.
