Description

Seat belt retractor and vehicle
Technical Field
The disclosure relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a winder for a safety belt and a vehicle.
Background
The existing safety belt winder has both a pyrotechnic pretensioning mechanism and a mechanical sensing locking mechanism. Under normal conditions, when the acceleration of pulling out the safety belt or the acceleration of the vehicle body is detected to exceed the acceleration set by the mechanical sensor, the mechanical sensing type locking mechanism locks the webbing winding device to prevent the webbing from being pulled out. When the vehicle has an emergency, if a forward collision occurs, the belt winding device is wound in the direction opposite to the pulling direction of the belt by the pyrotechnic pre-tensioning device, so that the looseness of the belt on the user is eliminated. The pyrotechnic pre-tensioning mechanism and the mechanical sensing type locking are relatively independent mechanically, and after the pyrotechnic pre-tensioning device is operated, the mesh belt winding device can be locked through the mechanical sensing type locking device, so that the mesh belt is prevented from being further pulled out after being pre-tensioned. However, the webbing take-up device may be pulled out by the load applied to the webbing by the occupant from the time the pyrotechnic pretensioner completes its operation until the mechanical sensor lock fully locks the webbing take-up device.
In order to solve the above problem, a locking mechanism is added to the retractor for the safety belt, which is called a second locking mechanism, the second locking mechanism is driven by a pre-tensioning mechanism, and after the pre-tensioning mechanism finishes working, the second locking mechanism can lock the locking gear, so that the problem that the safety belt is pulled out after the pre-tensioning mechanism works is solved. Chinese invention patent CN1672989 provides a technology for triggering the second locking mechanism by driving the clutch friction plate. Specifically, the friction plate rotates after being acted by the pyrotechnic pretensioning device, the locking lock is matched with the groove in the friction plate through two protrusions at the bottom to rotate together with the friction plate, the locking lock rotates away from an original locking position, the locking claw rotates from the unlocking position to the locking tooth on the outer side of the locking gear under the pushing of the spring until the locking gear is locked, and the rotation of the belt shaft in the pulling-out direction is locked through the connection of the locking gear and the belt shaft. However, there are two disadvantages in this solution: firstly, in order to realize the positioning of the locking lock in all directions, the volume of the locking lock must be set to be large enough, and the locking lock needs to rotate a certain angle to avoid the rotation of the locking claw, so that a large sector space needs to be set for the mechanism, and the winder for the safety belt is large; secondly, at a certain position, the friction sheet can cut off the convex part of the locking lock, and the cut convex part can fall into the positions of parts such as a winding shaft and the like, so that the normal work of related parts is easily influenced.

Detailed Description
The following detailed description of specific embodiments of the present disclosure is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present disclosure, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, not limitation.
In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the terms of orientation used such as "upper and lower" are defined with reference to the vertical direction shown in fig. 1, "front and rear" are defined with reference to the front and rear direction shown in fig. 2, and "inner and outer" refer to the inner and outer of the relevant component.
As shown in fig. 1 to 20, the present disclosure provides a retractor for a seat belt, which includes a frame 10 for being mounted to a body of a vehicle, a support 40 provided to the frame 10, a pretensioner mechanism provided to the support 40, a winding gear 23 coupled to a spool 21 for rotating the spool 21 to wind the seat belt, a lock gear 22 coupled to the spool 21 and rotating integrally, and a lock mechanism for preventing the spool 21 from rotating in a direction to pull out the seat belt after the pretensioner mechanism is activated. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 1, the winding gear 23 and the lock gear 22 may each be assembled integrally or integrally formed with the spool 21 so as to be capable of rotating integrally. As in the prior art, the winding shaft 24 may be connected to the spool 21 so as to be integrally rotatable, the spool 21 may be rotatably disposed in the spool mounting hole 12 of the frame 10, and the winding gear 23 and the lock gear 22 may be located outside the spool mounting hole 12.
The winding drum 21 is rotatably disposed on the frame 10, the pre-tightening mechanism includes a driving portion 31 and a pre-tightening gear 32 for transmitting power of the driving portion 31, the pre-tightening gear 32 is used for cooperating with the winding gear 23, the locking mechanism includes a stopping piece 51, a driving member 54 and a claw 53, the stopping piece 51 is rotatably disposed on the support 40, the claw 53 is rotatably disposed on the frame 10, and the driving member 54 is used for providing a driving force for engaging the claw 53 with the locking gear 22. Before the pretensioner mechanism is not activated, the stopper piece 51 stops the pawl 53 to restrict its rotation, and after the pretensioner mechanism is activated, the drive section 31 drives the movement of the stopper piece 51 to release the locking of the stopper piece 51 to the pawl 53 while driving the winding gear 23 to rotate.
In the retractor for a seat belt provided by the present disclosure, when the vehicle is in a normal state and the seat belt needs to be retracted, the trigger plate 91 is directly engaged with the winding shaft 24 (both of which use a gear transmission) to drive the winding drum 21 to retract the seat belt. The pretensioning mechanism is not activated and the locking of the vehicle seat belt is locked by a mechanical sensor locking mechanism of the belt retractor itself. When the pretensioning mechanism is started, the driving part 31 of the pretensioning mechanism drives the pretensioning gear 32 to rotate, and the pretensioning gear 32 drives the winding gear 23 along with the pretensioning gear to drive the winding drum 21 to wind up the safety belt. Meanwhile, the stop piece 51 rotates under the action of the pre-tensioning mechanism, and after the stop piece 51 rotates to a certain position, the claw 53 can be unlocked. Under the action of the driving piece 54, the claw 53 rotates towards the winding gear 23, so that the claw 53 is in one-way clamping with the locking gear 22 in time, the safety belt is in one-way locking in time, the safety belt can be prevented from being pulled out after the pretensioning process is finished, and the safety of the retractor is improved.
In this disclosure, the stop piece 51 can be set to a sheet structure, which can effectively reduce the volume of the stop piece 51, and compared with the structure of the stop lock in the prior art, the volume of the stop piece can be reduced by more than one time, so as to play an effect of effectively compressing the space to make the structure compact, and be beneficial to the miniaturization and the light weight of the winder. In addition, a convex connecting structure is omitted on the stop piece 51, so that a shearing block is not generated due to shearing of a convex in the locking process, and the shearing block is prevented from interfering with the normal operation of the winder after being sheared.
The stop plate 51 can be rotated by various structures such as the rack 313, the friction plate 33 and the like in the present disclosure, so that the design diversity and variability are improved, and the specific driving process can be described below.
It is understood that in the present disclosure, the stopper piece 51 may directly contact the stopping jaw 53, or may stop the jaw through other intermediate members. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the locking mechanism further includes a link 52, the link 52 is rotatably disposed on the frame 10 and can drive the pawl 53 to engage with the locking gear 22, before the pre-tensioning mechanism is not activated, the stop piece 51 stops the link 52 to limit the rotation of the pawl 53, and after the pre-tensioning mechanism is activated, the driving portion 31 drives the stop piece 51 to move to release the locking of the stop piece 51 on the link 52. In this way, the pawl 53 can also be used in cooperation with a mechanical sensing type locking mechanism in a normal state of the vehicle, that is, two sets of locking mechanisms can share one pawl, so that the number of parts can be reduced, and the miniaturization and the light weight of the winder for the safety belt are facilitated.
The drive section 31 of the pretensioning mechanism of the present disclosure can be of any suitable construction. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the driving portion 31 may include a cylinder 311, a gas generator 312 communicated with the inside of the cylinder 311, and a rack 313 movably mounted to the cylinder 311 along an axis of the cylinder 311, the rack 313 being configured to engage with the pre-tightening gear 32, the stop piece 51 having a trigger protrusion formed thereon, and after the pre-tightening mechanism is activated, a front end of the rack 313 acts on the trigger protrusion during the movement to move the stop piece 51 in a direction to release the link 52, thereby unlocking the link 52. When the stop piece 51 directly limits the position of the claw 53, the linkage can be unlocked.
Specifically, when an emergency occurs, the gas generator 312 is ignited, generates a large amount of gas and is sealed in the cylinder 311, so as to form a large pressure, and the rack 313 is pushed to move forward along the axial direction of the cylinder 311, so as to drive the pre-tightening gear 32 to rotate, and further drive the winding gear 23 to rotate, so as to realize the winding of the safety belt. Meanwhile, when the front end of the rack 313 moves, the trigger protrusion drives the stop piece 51 to rotate, so that the link 52 is unlocked, and the claw 53 can rotate to a position which is unidirectionally locked with the locking gear 22 in time, and the reel 21 is prevented from rotating towards the direction in which the safety belt is pulled out.
In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the specific structure and shape of the stopper piece 51 are not limited. As shown in fig. 2 and 8, the stopper piece 51 may include a stopper piece main body 511 and an L-shaped strip 512 connected to the stopper piece main body 511, the L-shaped strip 512 includes a first section 513 and a second section 514 connected to each other, both ends of the first section 513 are respectively connected to the second section 514 and the stopper piece main body 511, when the stopper piece 51 is located at the initial position, the stopper piece main body 511 is located on the upper surface of the support 40 and limits the linkage piece 52, the opening of the L-shaped strip 512 is upward (i.e., in a direction away from the upper surface of the support 40), i.e., the second section 514 of the L-shaped strip 512 is arranged in an up-down direction, and the second section 514 is a trigger protrusion. Thus, during the forward movement of the rack 313, it can contact the second section 514 (trigger protrusion) arranged upward and bring the stop piece 51 to move on the support 40.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the periphery of the stopper sheet main body 511 has a first side 515, a second side 516, a third side 517, and a fourth side 518 connected in this order, the first side 515 is opposite to the third side 517, the second side 516 is opposite to the fourth side 518, and the first segment 513 is provided at a joint portion of the second side 516 and the third side 517 and extends in a direction away from the first side 515. An annular bulge surrounding the pre-tightening gear mounting hole 41 is formed in the middle of the support 40, a first sliding groove 42 and a second sliding groove 43 which extend along the circumferential direction of the annular bulge and are communicated with each other are formed in the upper surface of the support 40, and the first sliding groove 42 is provided with a first radial limiting surface 421 and a second radial limiting surface 422 which are opposite to each other. When the stop piece 51 is in the initial position, the stop piece main body 511 is located in the first sliding groove 42, the L-shaped strip 512 is at least partially located in the second sliding groove 43, the first side 515 is limited on the first radial limiting surface 421, the second side 516 is limited on the outer wall of the annular protrusion, and the fourth side 518 stops the link piece 52. In addition, the stop piece 51 has a second position in which the second radial stop surface 422 stops the third side 517 to hold the stop piece 51 in a specific position on the support 40. In this way, in the initial position, the stop tab 51 is clamped between the annular projection of the support 40 and the linkage 52 and can remain fixed to achieve a reliable stop of the linkage 52.
When the rack 313 moves forward, the L-shaped strip 512 is driven to move in the second sliding groove 43, the second sliding groove 43 plays a guiding role, and the stopper main body 511 rotates in the first sliding groove 42 towards the second radial limiting surface 422, so that the linkage 52 can be unlocked after the stopper main body 511 rotates to a certain angle. The first and second slide grooves 42 and 43 are provided to guide a path along which the stopper piece 51 moves, so that the stopper piece 51 moves smoothly. The stopper piece 51 provided by the embodiment has a simple structure, and can reliably lock the link 52 at the initial position and easily unlock the link 52 under the action of the rack 313 by matching with the first sliding groove 42 and the second sliding groove 43 on the support 40.
In order to avoid the second section 514 of the stopper piece 51 from being greatly deformed by the impact of the rack bar 313 when contacting the front end of the rack bar 313 and not being separated or not being separated from the initial position in time. In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 2, when the stop piece 51 is in the initial position, the bottom wall of the distal end of the L-shaped strip 512 abuts on the second chute bottom wall 431. Thus, when the rack 313 strikes the upper end of the second segment 514, the L-shaped bar 512 can move along the second runner 43 due to the supporting action of the second runner bottom wall 431, and thus the second segment 514 is less likely to be deformed. Until the stopping sheet 51 is located at the second position, the third side 517 of the stopping sheet main body 511 stops on the second radial limiting surface 422, at this time, the stopping sheet 51 cannot rotate any more, the second section 514 continues to be impacted by the rack 313, and at this time, the second section 514 is bent under the action of the rack 313.
It should be noted that the term "distal end of the L-shaped strip" as used herein refers to an end of the L-shaped strip 512 away from the stopper piece body 511.
Further, as shown in fig. 2, 6 and 7, a first avoiding groove 44 is formed in a bottom wall of the second sliding groove 43 to avoid the second section 514 when the rack 313 bends the second section 514. Thus, after the stop piece 51 is moved to the second position, when the rack 313 continues to act on the second section 514, the second section 514 can be bent and pressed into the first avoiding groove 44 to facilitate the continued travel of the rack 313.
In a second embodiment of the present disclosure, the power portion may include a cylinder 311, a gas generator 312 communicated with the inside of the cylinder 311, a rack 313 movably mounted on the cylinder 311 along an axis of the cylinder 311, the rack 313 being configured to engage with the pre-tightening gear 32, the driving portion 31 further includes a friction plate 33, the friction plate 33 is connected to the pre-tightening gear 32, optionally, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the friction plate 33 may be clamped on an outer circumferential wall of the pre-tightening gear 32 by a clamping portion 332, a triggering protrusion is formed on the stopper plate 51, and the friction plate 33 acts on the triggering protrusion during rotation to move the stopper plate 51 toward a direction of releasing the link 52, so as to unlock the link 52.
Specifically, when an emergency occurs, the gas generator 312 detonates to generate a large amount of gas and is sealed in the cylinder 311, so as to form a large pressure, and the rack 313 is pushed to move forward along the axial direction of the cylinder 311, so as to drive the pre-tightening gear 32 to rotate, and further drive the winding gear 23 to rotate to realize the winding of the safety belt. At the same time, the pre-tightening gear 32 drives the friction plate 33 to rotate and drives the stop piece 51 to rotate through the trigger protrusion, so that the linkage piece 52 is unlocked, and the claw 53 can rotate to a position which is locked with the locking gear 22 in a one-way mode in time.
As shown in fig. 9 and 10, a slit 331 extending in the radial direction is formed on the outer edge of the friction plate 33, and when the stopper plate 51 is located at the initial position, the trigger protrusion is inserted into the slit 331. Thus, when the friction plate 33 rotates, the trigger protrusion is driven to rotate, and the structure is simple and the transmission is reliable. In other embodiments, the upper surface of the friction plate 33 may be formed with a convex pillar extending upward, and the convex pillar drives the trigger protrusion to rotate.
Further, as shown in fig. 10, the notches 331 may be a plurality of friction plates 33 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, so that the friction plates 33 can act on the stopper piece 51 by rotating a small angle, and the stopper piece 51 can be released from unlocking the link member 52, so that the claw 53 can be engaged with the lock gear 22 in time.
Also, in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, the specific structure and shape of the stopper piece 51 are not limited. As shown in fig. 9 and 12, the stopper piece 51 includes a stopper piece main body 511 and an L-shaped strip 512 'connected to the stopper piece main body 511, the L-shaped strip 512' includes a first section 513 'and a second section 514' connected to each other, and both ends of the first section 513 'are connected to the second section 514' and the stopper piece main body 511, respectively. When the stopper piece 51 is in the initial position, the stopper piece main body 511 is located on the upper surface of the holder 40 and restrains the link piece 52, the L-shaped strip 512 'opens toward the friction plate 33, i.e., toward the rotational axis of the friction plate 33, and the second section 514' is a trigger projection. Thus, when the friction plate 33 rotates in the circumferential direction, the retaining plate 51 is moved on the support 40 by the notch 331 engaging with the second segment 514' (trigger protrusion) arranged along the radial direction of the friction plate 33.
Specifically, in the second embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 12, the periphery of the stopper plate main body 511 has a first side 515, a second side 516, a third side 517, and a fourth side 518 connected in sequence, the first side 515 is opposite to the third side 517, the second side 516 is opposite to the fourth side 518, a first segment 513' is disposed at a joint portion of the second side 516 and the third side 517 and extends in a direction away from the first side 515, an annular protrusion surrounding the preload wheel mounting hole is formed at a middle portion of the support 40, a first sliding groove 42 and a second sliding groove 43 extending in a circumferential direction along a side wall of the annular protrusion and communicating with each other are disposed on an upper surface of the support 40, and the first sliding groove 42 has a first radial limiting surface 421 and a second radial limiting surface 422 which are opposite to each other. When the stopping sheet 51 is in the initial position, the stopping sheet main body 511 is located in the first sliding groove 42, the L-shaped strip 512' is at least partially located in the second sliding groove 43, the first side surface 515 is limited on the first radial limiting surface 421, the second side surface 516 is limited on the outer wall of the annular protrusion, and the fourth side surface 518 stops the link member 52. When the friction plate 33 rotates, the L-shaped bar 512' is driven to move in the second sliding slot 43, and the stopper plate main body 511 rotates toward the second radial direction limiting surface 422. In addition, the stop piece 51 has a second position in which the second radial stop surface 422 stops the third side 517 to hold the stop piece 51 in a specific position on the support 40. In this way, in the initial position, the stop tab 51 is clamped between the annular projection of the support 40 and the linkage 52 and can remain fixed to achieve a reliable stop of the linkage 52.
When the friction plate 33 rotates, the L-shaped strip 512' is driven to move in the second sliding slot 43, and the stopper plate main body 511 rotates in the first sliding slot 42 toward the second radial limiting surface 422, so that the linkage member 52 can be unlocked after the stopper plate main body 511 rotates to a certain angle. The first and second slide grooves 42 and 43 are provided to guide a path along which the stopper piece 51 moves, so that the stopper piece 51 moves smoothly. The stop plate 51 provided by the embodiment has a simple structure, and can reliably lock the linkage member 52 at the initial position and easily unlock the linkage member 52 under the action of the friction plate 33 by matching with the first sliding groove 42 and the second sliding groove 43 on the support 40.
In order to prevent the second segment 514' of the stopper piece 51 from being greatly deformed by the friction plate 33 when contacting the notch 331 of the friction plate 33, and thus cannot be separated or cannot be separated from the initial position in time. In the second embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 9, when the stopper piece 51 is located at the initial position, the bottom wall of the distal end of the L-shaped strip 512 '(i.e., the bottom wall 5131' of the first segment shown in fig. 12) abuts against the second chute side wall 432. Thus, when the friction plate 33 impacts the second step 514 ', the second step 514 ' is not easily deformed due to the supporting function of the second chute side wall 432 and the movement of the L-shaped strip 512 ' along the second chute 43. Until the stopping sheet 51 is located at the second position, the third side 517 of the stopping sheet main body 511 stops on the second radial limiting surface 422, at this time, the stopping sheet 51 cannot rotate any more, and the second segment 514 'continues to be impacted by the friction plate 33, at this time, the second segment 514' will be bent under the action of the friction plate 33.
Similarly, the "distal end of the L-shaped strip" refers to the end of the L-shaped strip 512' that is distal from the stopper piece body 511.
Further, as shown in fig. 10 and 11, a second avoiding groove 45 is formed on a side wall of the second sliding groove 43 to avoid the L-shaped long strip 512 when the friction plate 33 bends the second section 514'. Thus, when the friction plate 33 continues to rotate to act on the second segment 514 'after the stop piece 51 moves to the second position, the second segment 514' can be bent and pressed into the second avoiding groove 45 to facilitate the continuous rotation of the friction plate 33, so that the rotation of the winding gear 23 is not affected.
The material of the stop sheet 51 is not limited in the present disclosure, and in one embodiment, the stop sheet 51 may be a metal elastic sheet to be deformable while having a certain strength, so that the second section 514 of the stop sheet 51 can be deformed under the extrusion of the rack 313 or the friction plate 33 to avoid affecting the continuous movement of the rack 313 and the friction plate 33. In other embodiments, it may be a deformable rubber member or the like.
As shown in fig. 1, the retractor for a seat belt further includes a pre-tightening cover plate 60, the stopper piece 51 may be disposed between the support 40 and the pre-tightening cover plate 60, a positioning protrusion 519 is disposed on an upper surface of the stopper piece 51, a positioning groove (not shown in the figure) adapted to the positioning protrusion 519 is disposed at a position corresponding to the pre-tightening cover plate 60, and the pre-tightening cover plate 60 is configured to prevent the stopper piece 51 from moving in the vertical direction. Specifically, the stop tab 51 may be configured as a transition or slight interference fit between the seat 40 and the pre-tensioned cover plate 60. Because the upper surface of the support 40 of the stopping sheet 51 is provided with the annular bulge, the first radial limiting surface 421, the second radial limiting surface 422 and the limiting of the linkage piece 52, the stopping sheet 51 realizes basic positioning and fastening in the up-down direction and the horizontal direction, and cannot shake, so that abnormal sound cannot be generated.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 9, the link 52 and the pawl 53 may be disposed on the frame 10 through the same rotation shaft, the driving member 54 may be an elastic member, two ends of the elastic member are respectively connected to the frame 10 and the link 52 to provide an elastic force for driving the link 52 to rotate toward the locking gear 22, the link 52 is located above the pawl 53, the link 52 has a protrusion 522 extending downward, and the link 52 drives the pawl 53 to approach the locking gear 22 through the protrusion 522. In this way, when the stopper piece 51 releases the locking of the link 52, both the link 52 and the pawl 53 rotate around the rotation shaft in the direction toward the lock gear 22 by the elastic member, so that the pawl 53 engages with the lock gear 22 to realize unidirectional locking. Alternatively, the linkage 52 can be covered above the jaws 53, so as to save the arrangement space on the surface of the support 40, and the linkage 52 and the jaws 53 are arranged to rotate coaxially, so that the rotation synchronism of the linkage 52 and the jaws 53 is facilitated, and the jaws 53 can rotate to the one-way locking position under the action of the linkage 52.
Wherein, as shown in fig. 13, the rotating shaft may be a pin 57 to rotatably dispose the link 52 and the jaw 53 on the frame 10. Further, the locking mechanism may further include a connecting member 55 and a holder 56, the connecting member 55 is connected to the claw 53, the connecting member 55, the claw 53 and the link 52 are all mounted on the upper surface 11 of the frame through the holder 56, and the connecting member 55 is configured to cooperate with a mechanical locking mechanism of the vehicle to drive the claw 53 to be engaged with the locking gear 22.
As shown in fig. 13, the protrusion 522 and the driver connecting point 523 of the link 52 are respectively located on both sides of the pin 57, and form a lever structure with the pin 57 as a fulcrum, and the link 52 has a stopper piece engagement surface 51.
Here, the elastic member may be a spring plate or a spring. When the stop tab 51 is in the initial position, the spring or spring is in a compressed state. In addition, the driving member 54 may be an air bag which is compressed when the stopper piece 51 is at the initial position to provide a rotational force to the link member 52.
In the present disclosure, the webbing retractor further includes a clutch mechanism for connecting power transmission between the preload gear 32 and the take-up gear 23. When the vehicle is in a normal state, in order not to affect the normal withdrawal and retraction of the seat belt in such a state, the clutch mechanism is in a disengaged state, and no power transmission is transmitted between the pretensioner gear 32 and the winding gear 23, that is, the power transmission between the pretensioner gear 32 and the winding gear 23 is disconnected before the pretensioner mechanism is not activated. When the vehicle is in an emergency, the clutch mechanism is engaged, and after the retractor receives a signal for starting the pre-tensioning mechanism, the gas generator 312 is ignited, so that the rack 313 is pushed to move, the rack 313 then drives the pre-tensioning gear 32 to rotate, and the pre-tensioning gear 32 drives the winding gear 23 to rotate through the clutch mechanism, so that the winding drum 21 is driven to wind the safety belt.
In the present disclosure, the clutch mechanism may have any suitable structure as long as it can achieve communication or disconnection of power transmission between the winding gear 23 and the preload gear 32. Optionally, since the clutch mechanism in the present disclosure is mainly used for the retraction process of the safety belt, the clutch mechanism may be a one-way clutch mechanism.
The clutch mechanism may be a friction ring used to transmit power between the pre-tightening gear 32 and the winding gear 23 in the prior art. In one embodiment. As shown in fig. 14, 16 and 17, the clutch mechanism may include a pre-tightening gear 32, a winding gear 23, a roller 70 and the support 40, the pre-tightening gear 32 is used for transmitting the power of the driving portion 31, the winding gear 23 is used for driving the winding drum 21 to rotate to wind the seat belt, the winding gear 23 is disposed on the support 40, the pre-tightening gear 32 is disposed through the support 40 and coaxially disposed inside the winding gear 23, and the roller 70 is movably supported on the support 40 and located between the winding gear 23 and the pre-tightening gear 32. Before the pretensioning mechanism is not activated, the roller 70 does not transmit power between the pretensioning gear 32 and the winding gear 23. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 16, the roller 70 is now spaced from both the pretensioning gear 32 and the winding gear 23. After the pretensioning mechanism is started, the pretensioning gear 32 rotates to drive the roller 70 to rotate around the axis of the pretensioning gear 32 and close to the winding gear 23, so that the roller 70 is in power connection with the pretensioning gear 32 and the winding gear 23, thereby driving the winding gear 23 to rotate, and completing the transmission of motion and load in the direction of retracting the safety belt.
Compared with the scheme of adopting friction ring transmission in the prior art, the roller 70 is not easy to deform and slip, the stability and reliability of power transmission are higher, and the working reliability of the clutch mechanism is high.
Alternatively, the number of rollers 70 may be plural and plural rollers may be arranged at intervals around the axis of the pre-tightening gear 32 to improve the smoothness and reliability of the transmission by increasing the number of rollers 70.
In order to further improve the reliability of the roller 70 in power transmission, as shown in fig. 18 and 19, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, an outer gear 71 is formed on the surface of the roller 70, and correspondingly, an inner gear 231 adapted to the outer gear 71 is formed on the inner circumferential wall of the winding gear 23. Thus, the friction coefficient between the roller 70 and the winding gear 23 can be increased, the friction connection effect can be improved, and the transmission reliability is greatly improved.
The shape of the outer teeth 71 of the roller 70 is not limited in the present disclosure, and optionally, as shown in fig. 19, the roller 70 may be knurled to have the outer teeth 71 of a circular knurled teeth.
As shown in fig. 14 and 15, an arc-shaped tooth groove 323 is formed between two adjacent external teeth of the pre-tightening gear 32, and the roller 70 is partially located in the arc-shaped tooth groove 323, that is, the profile surface of the tooth groove of the pre-tightening gear 32 is an arc-shaped surface, so as to facilitate the movement of the driving roller 70. As shown in fig. 14, when the pre-tightening gear 32 rotates clockwise in the drawing of fig. 14, the roller 70 is easily rotated together, and the roller 70 is pressed to be close to the winding gear 23 located at the outer side, thereby rotating the winding gear 23. The provision of the arcuate gullets 323 facilitates the movement of the drive roller 70 in both radial and circumferential directions thereof.
In order to ensure that no power transmission takes place between the pretensioning gear 32 and the winding gear 23 before the pretensioning mechanism of the winder is not activated in the present disclosure, in one embodiment of the present disclosure the pretensioning gear 32 and/or the roller 70 may be connected to the support 40 by a web, the pretensioning gear 32 and/or the roller 70 shearing off the web when the pretensioning mechanism is activated. In this way, the web ensures that the pretensioning gear 32 and the roller 70 do not rotate before the pretensioning mechanism of the winder is not activated, so that the power transmission between the pretensioning gear 32 and the winding gear 23 is not communicated, and the normal winding and unwinding of the mounting tape in the normal state of the vehicle is not affected.
The pre-tightening gear 32 and the roller 70 may be fixed to the support 40 by connecting pieces, such as the first connecting piece 81 and the second connecting piece 82 shown in fig. 18, or one of the two may be fixed to the support 40 by connecting pieces, which is not limited by the present disclosure. In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 18, the pretensioning gear 32 and the roller 70 can be fixed to the support 40 by a first connecting tab 81 and a second connecting tab 82, respectively, to ensure that neither the pretensioning gear 32 nor the roller 70 rotate before the pretensioning mechanism is activated.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 17, the pre-tightening gear 32 is fixed to the support 40 by a first connecting piece 81, and no connecting piece is provided between the roller 70 and the support 40. In other embodiments, the roller 70 may be fixed to the support 40 only by the second connecting piece 82, and no connecting piece is provided between the pre-tightening gear 32 and the support 40.
As shown in fig. 1 and 14, an end of the winding gear 23 away from the support 40 is closed, and a receiving cavity for receiving the cutting block of the connecting pieces (the first connecting piece 81 and the second connecting piece 82) is defined among the support 40, the winding gear 23 and the pre-tightening gear 32. So that the cut pieces of the first connecting piece 81 and the second connecting piece 82 are confined in the accommodating cavities without affecting other parts.
The first connecting piece 81 and the second connecting piece 82 are not limited in material, and can be made of plastic connecting pieces, so that the cost is saved, or metal sheets and the like can be selected. In one embodiment, plastic tabs may be used to save cost.

And due to the special design of the pre-tightening gear 32, namely, the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 are respectively designed to be matched with the rack 313 and the winding gear 23, the first gear 321 and the second gear 322 can be designed with adaptive structures according to the matched objects. For example, in order to facilitate the second gear 322 to drive the roller 70 to move in the radial and circumferential directions, as shown in fig. 17, an arc-shaped tooth groove 323 is formed between two adjacent external teeth of the second gear 322, and the roller 70 is partially located in the arc-shaped tooth groove 323.
As shown in fig. 18, the second gear 322 is connected to the support 40 via the first connecting piece 81, and the second gear 322 shears the first connecting piece 81 when rotating.
As shown in fig. 18 and 19, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, a hollow annular flange is formed on a side wall of the lock gear 22, and an inner wall of the hollow annular flange has an inner gear hob 231 to configure a winding gear 23. That is, in the present disclosure, the lock gear 22 and the winding gear 23 are both provided at an end portion of the drum 21 and rotate integrally with the drum 21, and the lock gear 22 and the winding gear 23 are integrally connected, and a hollow annular flange on the lock gear 22 is the winding gear 23. The design can save the arrangement space and is beneficial to reducing the volume of the whole winder for the safety belt.
