Abstract

A method of forming a motor vehicle instrument panel with a flexible tethered air bag deployment door by molding first and second plastics materials is described. Also described is a vehicle passenger compartment console assembly including a console body having an outer shell and an access opening disposed in the console body outer shell, and having at least two storage modules disposed within the shell and sequentially movable supported between one or more concealed positions displaced from the access opening and a displayed position adjacent the access opening. Also described is an automotive headliner assembly which includes a substrate that is configured to mount to a vehicle in a position generally covering a lower surface of a passenger compartment roof. Cavities are integrally formed into the substrate between the upper substrate surface and the lower substrate surface to provide receptacles for electrical wiring, fiber optical cabling, EA foam and the like or to form a duct for directing air flow. Also described is an inflatable restraint assembly comprising a trim panel, an air bag door positioned spanning an air bag depolyment opening in the trim panel, a frangible tear seam defining at least a portion of the air bag door, and a hard plastic collar is attached to the trim panel, wherein the air bag door is integrally formed with the hard plastic collar.

Cover plate assembly 10 have one be positioned at driver's side be used to install the contour part 12 of a combination meter (not shown) and one be positioned at passenger side by an airbag deployment door 14 of tearing seam 16 defined rectangles that is molded on this cover plate assembly.This tears seam 16 can constitute (as shown in FIG.) by a groove that is molded on the panel outer surface, perhaps constitute by a groove that is molded over the panel rear side, stash from the visual field thereby this is torn seam, this is being well-known in the art.This cover plate assembly has covered a gas-bag system 18 that is positioned at this cover plate assembly back, and this gas-bag system 18 is in the dead aft of air bag doors 14, and is installed on the sheet metal part 20 in the automobile framework of passenger accommodation front portion.Gas-bag system 18 is gas-bag systems of a kind of traditional type, it comprises an air bag 22, a gas generator 24 and a controller 26, this controller 26 comprises the igniting binary pair of an automobile impacting sensor and a gas generator again, this igniting binary pair is used for air bag is put on the air, thereby makes it to launch in the passenger space 28 in the passenger seat dead ahead of passenger side.
This cover plate assembly 10 is molded monomer spares, has wall thickness unanimous on the whole, and form by a kind of suitable thermoplastic material (for example phenylethylene-maleic anhydride, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyphenylene oxide and polyurethane) moulding with enough hardness, this panel just can self-supporting like this, thereby maintenance desired shapes, and have enough heat impedances, in order to resist the thermal deformation that causes owing to the heat in the environment inside car at the residing next-door neighbour's windscreen of this panel (not shown) rear portion.This cover plate assembly can form by multiple different orthodox method molding, comprising the Shooting Technique of widely using in the present technique field.Constitute that the groove tear seam 16 should have according to the intensity of the wall thickness of this cover plate assembly and employed plastic material and fixed enough degree of depth, thereby weaken the wall part of tearing seam fully, to such an extent as to this wall part can be torn under the effect that acts on the airbag inflation power on air bag doors rear side or the inboard, and when this wall part and cover plate assembly are separated, form an air bag (this air bag as shown in Figure 4 and will describe in detail hereinafter) and launch required opening 30.
This cover plate assembly 10 can be fixed at the diverse location place outside the air bag doors zone on the various piece of automobile framework 11 (Fig. 2 has represented one of this position), and one of them sheet metallic screw 32 has been fixed on the lower edge below the air bag doors in this panel on the sheet metal part 34 in the automobile framework.Self-evident in addition, can use similar screw or the diverse location place of other traditional fastener outside the air bag doors zone that this cover plate assembly is fixed tightly in the automobile framework securely.
Airbag deployment door 14 in the cover plate assembly 10 is fixed on separately on the automobile framework by the connecting element/hinge flanging 36 of an elongation, this connecting element/hinge flanging 36 is molded into one with the rear inner surface of door, and the horizontal direction generally along whole length is extended, and its position is near upper limb (as Figure 1-3).This flanging 36 has a flat rectangle part 38, this rectangle part 38 is from the door one section concrete distance that extended internally, and end at flat, rectangular-shaped, that knuckle is arranged, a horizontally extending end portion 40, on this end portion 40 is fixed on a sheet metal part 44 in the automobile framework by bolt 42 along its length direction.Flanging 36 also has the thickness that is controlled, and its rectangle part 38 can (this range of temperatures can reach a certain low temperature in certain concrete range of temperatures, as-20 °F) carry out elastic bending significantly, do not rupture simultaneously, therefore a cantilever lever hinge can be used as, thereby bandy opening movement can be carried out for making airbag deployment along tearing to make when seam is separated with this cover plate assembly when door.Before this air bag doors is separated, this flanging 36 is used at the air bag doors place this cover plate assembly is fixed on the automobile framework, provide the bearing force of certain thrust of opposing (Tathagata is from passenger's thrust) simultaneously for air bag doors, otherwise this thrust can inwardly promote door and make an edge tear seam and this cover plate assembly is separated.
Flanging 36 is designed to torn under the effect of airbag inflation power and play hinge effect in air bag doors 14 is outwards done the process of opening movement when tearing seam 16, this air bag doors 14 is remained in the automobile framework, and in this process, when flanging part 38 rotates bending for helping door, can produce very big stress at point of connection 48 places of this flanging part 38 and door.Yet, under very low temperature, for example-20 °F or lower, this conventional plastic material that is suitable for satisfying the main function of this cover plate assembly will become fragile to a certain degree, fracture or disengaging (as shown in Figure 4) may take place and enter in the passenger space 28 in student portion one main portion 46 (this is subjected to the thrust of air bag, and outwardly-bent with the horizontally extending point of connection 48 of flanging 36 along door) at the position of its stress high concentration at this moment.By adopting strategy to add an elastomeric door frenulum layer 50, just can very prevent this situation cost-effectively, this frenulum layer 50 has the certain thickness that is controlled, and its shaping position is in the top of inside face 54 of the door section 46 of the top in a side 52 tops, zone 48 of the connecting element/hinge flanging 36 adjacent with easy fracture zone 48 and easy fracture.The material that is used for moulding door frenulum layer 50 is a kind of foregoing certain thickness elastic plastic material that is controlled that has, its shaping position will describe in detail hereinafter, and in the forming process of self, combine with the material of this cover plate assembly, and needn't re-use other adhesive agent, simultaneously can be in the low temperature of the brittle temperature that is starkly lower than the employed material of cover plate assembly 10 (launching door 14) maintenance elasticity or ductility down comprising integral gasbag.This frenulum layer 50 that can make is being low to moderate examples of material such as polyurethane synthetic rubber, polyester neoprene and the polyolefin neoprene that keeps elasticity or ductility under-60 the low temperature.Self-evident in addition, although this frenulum material can satisfy the operating needs of itself well, can not satisfy the hardness requirement of cover plate assembly.
Elastic frenulum layer 50 on even keel extend generally along the whole length of connecting element/hinge flanging 36, and be glued on the side 52 of flat flanging part 38 at 56 places, a marginal portion of this frenulum layer, this frenulum layer 50 extends to terminal flanging part 40 along the side, therefore thereby maximized the bond area of this side in easy fracture zone 48, and maximized frenulum layer 50 is remained on ability on the flanging 36.Frenulum layer 50 is crossed on easy fracture zone 48, and centre portion 58 places at this frenulum layer 50 are bonded on this zone 48, be glued on the inside face 54 of airbag door section 46 of easy fracture simultaneously at 60 places, a marginal portion, this marginal portion 60 extend to along the side door lower edge near, thereby maximized the bond area of frenulum layer and door section and be maintained at ability on the flanging 36.
Referring to Fig. 4, when fracture takes place owing to plastics cold short in door, the centre portion 58 of the frenulum hinge 50 of leap on frangible region will bend, thereby the line of rupture that allows the door section that breaks 46 to continue relative flanging 36 places outwards upwards curves, so that air bag can be launched continuously, the door section that will break by frenulum layer 50 and flanging 36 remains on the automobile framework safely simultaneously.On the total inner surface of the door section 46 by the frenulum layer being bonded in substantially separation and the sweep 38 of flanging 36, just can maximize obtainable confining force in the frenulum 50 of breakdown zone that strides across door, thereby the door section 46 that will break remains on the flanging 36, and and then remains on the automobile framework.In addition, the thickness that is controlled of frenulum layer 50 is to determine according to the suffered tensile force of its plastic material, thereby the doing of the centre portion 58 that makes this frenulum layer 50 greatest expected power that pushed part divides on being subjected to from the door section 46 of fracture is unlikely to lose efficacy because of crooked tension force the time spent.Yet we will recognize that also the bent intermediate part 58 of frenulum layer 50 can have than adjacent marginal portion 58 and 60 bigger thickness, in order to bearing necessary bigger tension force under special circumstances, thereby effectively utilize material and/or space.
Comprise that integral gasbag launches the cover plate assembly 10 of door 14 and connecting element/hinge flanging 36, use is molded as a monomer spare with a kind of plastic material by disposable, the basic training that this material is suitable for satisfying cover plate assembly as previously mentioned is with requiring, and wherein it must have in order to the enough hardness of self-supporting and enough heat impedances.Cover plate assembly 10 forms by the orthodox method molding that widely uses in a kind of this area, for example it can be by moulding in an injection mould or reaction equation injection mould, the cavity of these moulds has intactly defined the surface of this cover plate assembly, tears the groove of seam 16 comprising being positioned at definition on outside face or the inside face.
Referring to Fig. 5 and 6, these figure have represented to be used for the face side shaping jig 70 of a kind of injection molding forming method of the face side of shaping cover board component 10 or front side, wherein this cover plate assembly is expressed as the foundry goods of moulding in these scheme drawings, and wherein the elastic frenulum layer is just still to be formed.In addition, we will recognize that also the injection molding forming method that is used for shaping cover board component 10 also comprises another kind of shaping jig (not shown), this shaping jig defines the rear side of this panel, and matching with shaping jig 70 has formed mould cavity, and the plastic material that is used for this panel of moulding then is injected into this cavity by a kind of traditional approach under pressure.Then after the cover plate assembly of having cast 10 is left on situ in the molding tool 70 simultaneously the molding tool of rear side is removed, just can use an injection molding tool 72 that the frenulum layer 50 of airbag deployment door is molded on the relevant position, this injection molding tool 72 is landed on a certain zone of inside face of this cover plate assembly, will be in this zone by moulding suspensorium layer 50, and this zone comprises 46 inside face 54 of the door section of side 52 of connecting element/hinge flanging 36 and frangibility.We will recognize that also this cover plate assembly can be supported by a special-purpose supporting tool, this special use supporting tool is far smaller than cover plate assembly molding tool 70, and has a similar stayed surface, this surface is just crossed on a zone in the outside of in type cover plate assembly, and this exterior lateral area will be relative by the position of moulding with the frenulum layer.Injection molding tool 72 its moulding side on by moulding a frenulum layer, this frenulum layer has defined cavity 74,46 inside face 54 of one side 52 of these cavity 74 fixtures/hinge flanging 36 and the door section of frangibility surrounds, and define an osed top mould cavity 76, and this mould cavity 76 defines the whole shape of frenulum layer.
Molding tool 70 and 72 (cover plate assembly 10 at this between the two) is sandwiched in together on the plastic injection-moulded mechanical (not shown) of a traditional type, foregoing then frenulum plastic material by a kind of traditional mode under high pressure with molten state by a passage 78 in the molding tool 72, be injected in the osed top mould cavity 76, thereby form elastic frenulum layer 50.We also will recognize, (wherein the frenulum layer defines a mould cavity to the low pressure molding instrument, as the cavity in the molding tool 72 74) also can be used to the frenulum formable layer on the relevant position of cover plate assembly inside face, but this low pressure molding instrument only is applicable in traditional gravitational casting, reaction injection molding or the resin transfer molding method of this frenulum layer of moulding, wherein has the reacted constituent of this plastic material.Under any circumstance, the plastic material that constitutes the frenulum layer all combines with the inside face of this cover plate assembly under the condition of the adhesive agent that does not use other, thus on the whole interface between the door section 46 of frenulum layer 50 and connecting element/hinge flanging 36 and easy fracture strong connection of formation.
Frenulum layer 50 also can be molded over the corresponding position of the inside face of this cover plate assembly as shown in Figure 7 by the method that sprays this frenulum moulding plastics material.Be recommended in this forming method use one have a controlled thickness cover part 80, this cover part 80 in the mode of handing-over by on 46 the inside face 54 by the door section of the inside face 52 that is placed on connecting element/hinge flanging 36 and frangibility, and have an opening 82 that defines the boundary line of frenulum layer 50.The thickness of covering part 80 equal the ideal thickness of frenulum layer or compare big slightly, and can adopt rubber-like metal or plastics, thus easily with concealed surface is consistent or is had required handing-over shape by moulding.Covering part 80 is maintained on the relevant position by suitable manner, (for example by being fixed on the flange 84 on the manipulator), and this is covered on the outside face 86 of part and scribbles one deck release reagent (as silicone resin), in order to prevent that frenulum moulding plastics material is bonded in this and covers on the part 80.
To cover after part 80 remains on the relevant position of inside face of this cover plate assembly, just frenulum moulding plastics material can be sprayed on this panel on the not concealed zone by covering part opening 82, thereby use a kind of coating of plastics system 88 of traditional type that this plastic material is molded into frenulum layer 50, this coating of plastics system 88 comprises a mixing head 90 that has a spraying bar 92.This coating of plastics system 88 moves in a kind of traditional mode, thereby help to spray according to operational order, and wherein each reacted constituent of this plastic material by separately independently pipeline 94 and 96 be transported to mixing head 90, these reacted constituents be about to use spraying bar 92 just to mix in this mixing head before spraying.Mixing head 90 can be handled by an effector or robot, and the plastic material that has mixed in the mixing head is dispensed on by this spraying bar on 46 the inside face 54 of door section of the inside face 52 of connecting element/hinge flanging 36 and frangibility, as shown in Figure 7, thus make the frenulum layer reach desirable thickness.In the process of setting of the plastic material that has been sprayed, take away then and cover part, make the frenulum layer be retained in original position, and link together with cover plate assembly need not to use under the situation of adhesive agent.
Below the example of the plastic material that can use in the casting process of above-mentioned moulding frenulum layer is summarized: the gravitational casting material can be the thermoset material of polyurethane for example, the resin transfer cast material can be the thermoset material of polyester for example, the reaction injection molding(RIM) cast material can be the thermoset material of polyurethane for example, the spray mo(u)lding material can be the thermoset material of polyurethane for example, and the injection mo(u)lding material can be for example polyolefinic thermoplastic material.
As Fig. 8-10,11-14 and 15 respectively shown in, second, third of cover plate assembly 10 and the 4th embodiment 10a-c comprise an instrument carrier panel by the overall sign of 100a-c institute respectively.Each embodiment 100a-c of this instrument carrier panel comprises a kind of first plastic material, and its structure is fit to be installed in the passenger accommodation of automobile.Air bag doors panel shown in the 14a-c also all comprises this first plastic material, and is molded into whole monomer panel 14a-c, a 100a-c with instrument carrier panel 100a-c.Door face board 14a-c is surrounded by instrument carrier panel 100a-c at least in part.
In second to the 4th embodiment, all there is a hinge panel 50a-c to be connected on the inside face 102a-c of monomer panel 14a-c, 100a-c with laminar texture.This inside face 102a-c is relative with outside face or " category-A " surperficial 104a-c of monomer panel 14a-c, 100a-c.Hinge panel 50a-c comprises a kind of second plastic material with stronger ductility and lower fragility of comparing with first plastic material at low temperatures.Hinge panel 50a-c is embedded in the inside face that is molded over one of instrument carrier panel 100a-c and door face board 14a-c at least.Shown in the 50b ' among Figure 14, in other embodiments, hinge panel 50 can comprise sheet metal or comprise sheet metal and plastics simultaneously.Use metal as with antemarginal a kind of composition of tearing the hinge panel that seam aligns be particularly advantageous, this is because can increase hardness like this, and the thrust that the increase of hardness helps to open door is along tearing the seam rectangular distribution, thus help to make tear seam tear and subsequently unlatching more consistent.
Shown in Fig. 8-15, hinge panel 50a-c comprises the hinge panel lagging dege 110a-c that an opening direction with respect in the airbag inflation process and the rear portion of tearing seam 16a align.Tear the rear portion of seam 16a and the lagging dege part 110a-c of hinge panel and align, help the process of tearing along tearing seam 108 channeling conducts.

Referring to Figure 29 and 30, these two figure have represented a molded Automobile instrument 410 that is installed in the automobile framework (shown in 411 summarize).This Automobile instrument 410 has opening 412 Automobile instruments 410 and the airbag deployment door 414 with ideal form (being rectangle herein) that is positioned at passenger side that are used to install the driver's side of a combination meter (not shown), and the part of this airbag deployment door 414 or whole border are defined by a seam 416 of tearing that is molded over the frangibility on this instrument carrier panel.This tears seam 416 can constitute (as shown in FIG.) by a groove that is molded on the panel outer surface, perhaps constitute by a similar groove that is molded over the panel rear side, thereby this is torn seam stashes from the visual field, this is being well-known in the art, perhaps also can adopt in the present technique field other in order to single-piece of moulding but the method for tearing seam of frangibility.In the time of in being installed in automobile framework 411, this instrument carrier panel has covered a gas-bag system 418 that is positioned at this instrument panel assembly back, this gas-bag system 418 is in the dead aft of air bag doors 414, and is installed on the sheet metal part 420 in the automobile framework of passenger accommodation front portion.Gas-bag system 418 is gas-bag systems of a kind of traditional type, it comprises an air bag 422, an aerator 424 and an impact microphone 426, this impact microphone 426 triggers the ignition device on the aerator when automobile is subjected to clashing into, thereby air bag is put on the air, make it in the passenger space 428 in the passenger seat dead ahead of passenger side, to launch.
This instrument carrier panel 410 is molded monomer spares, has wall thickness unanimous on the whole, and form by a kind of first plastic material moulding, but recommend to adopt a kind of suitable thermoplastic material (for example polypropylene, polycarbonate and phenylethylene-maleic anhydride) with sufficient supplies amount and enough hardness, this panel just can self-supporting like this, thereby maintenance desired shapes, and have enough heat impedances, in order to resist the thermal deformation that causes owing to the heat in the environment inside car at the residing next-door neighbour's windscreen of this panel (not shown) rear portion.Constitute that the groove tear seam 416 should have according to the intensity of the wall thickness of this instrument carrier panel and employed plastic material and fixed enough degree of depth, thereby weaken the wall part of tearing seam fully, to such an extent as to this wall part can be torn under the effect that acts on the airbag inflation power on air bag doors rear side or the inboard, and when this wall part and instrument carrier panel are separated, form an air bag (this air bag as shown in figure 33 and will describe in detail hereinafter) and launch required opening 430.
This instrument carrier panel 410 can be fixed at the diverse location place outside the air bag doors zone on the various piece of automobile framework 411 (Figure 30 has represented one of this position), and one of them sheet metallic screw 432 has been fixed on the lower edge below the air bag doors in this panel on the sheet metal part 434 in the automobile framework.Self-evident in addition, can use similar screw or the diverse location place of other traditional fastener outside the air bag doors zone that this instrument carrier panel is fixed tightly in the automobile framework securely.
Airbag deployment door 414 in the instrument carrier panel 410 has been fixed on separately on the automobile framework by the connecting element/hinge flanging 36 of an elongation, this connecting element/hinge flanging 436 is molded into one with the rear inner surface of door, and the horizontal direction generally along whole length is extended, and its position is near upper limb (shown in Figure 29-31).This flanging 436 has a flat rectangle part 438, this rectangle part 438 from the inside horizontal expansion of door one section concrete distance, and end at flat, that knuckle is arranged, a horizontally extending end portion 440, on this end portion 440 is fixed on a sheet metal part 444 in the automobile framework by bolt 442 along its length direction.Flanging 436 also has the thickness that is controlled, and can be used as a cantilever lever hinge, thereby makes the door opening movement that can outwards curve for making airbag deployment when seam is separated with this instrument carrier panel along tearing when door.Before this air bag doors is separated, this flanging 436 is used at the air bag doors place this instrument carrier panel is fixed on the automobile framework, provide the bearing force of certain thrust of opposing (Tathagata is from passenger's thrust) simultaneously for air bag doors, otherwise this thrust can inwardly promote door and make an edge tear seam and this instrument carrier panel is separated.
Flanging 436 is designed to when the thrust of tearing the air bag that seam 416 is inflated tears that air bag doors 414 is made outside opening movement simultaneously, air bag doors 414 is hinged and remain in the automobile framework, like this, this flanging 436 just is used as and makes door 414 and automobile framework 411 keep bonded assembly principal series bands.In this process, when a part 438 of flanging 436 rotates bending for helping door, can produce very big stress with point of connection 446 places that the rear side of door is connected at this flanging 436.The material of panel 410 and flanging 436 can keep elasticity in a limited range of temperatures, this range of temperatures has comprised the operating ambient temperature (for example more than 0 or 0) of most of automobiles.Yet, as-20 or lower low temperature under, this conventional plastic material that is suitable for satisfying the main function of this instrument carrier panel will become fragile to a certain degree, fracture or disengaging (as shown in figure 33) may take place and enter in the passenger space in the main portion 448 of student portion (this is subjected to the thrust of air bag, and outwardly-bent with the horizontally extending point of connection 446 of flanging part 438 along door) at the position of its stress high concentration at this moment.By adopting strategy to add the elasticity addition line door assembly with hinge and glass in right hand and left 450 of an elongation, just can very prevent this situation cost-effectively, this frenulum hinge 450 is formed by a kind of strong elasticity forming materials of sheet, this material more economically, compare with the plastic material of panel 410 simultaneously, can under the low temperature of the brittle temperature of the material that is starkly lower than panel 410, keep better elasticity or ductility, thus since panel material cold short door is hitched when making the big zone 446 of stress take place to rupture.This examples of material that is used for moulding hinge 450 has: thermoplastic material (as polyvinylchloride, coating nylon and Kevlar), thermoset material (as polyurethane and polyester), metallic screen and a kind of braided material (this material is formed by the braiding of natural fibers such as the fiber that uses this type of plastic material to be molded into or cotton, fiber crops).
According to the embodiment shown in Figure 29-33, elastic frenulum hinge 450 on even keels extend generally along the whole length of connecting element/hinge flanging 436 (as shown in figure 31), and use rivet 454 etc. to tighten up mechanism to be glued to along a horizontal edge 452 of hinge 450 in a side of dangerous join domain 446 on the position away from the easy fracture zone on the flat part 438 of connecting element/hinge flanging 436.Frenulum hinge 450 is glued to along another horizontal edge 456 that parallels with edge 452 at the opposite side of dangerous join domain 446 on the inside face of airbag door section 448 of easy fracture by using in the mechanism that tightens up that can't see on the outside face of door.For example, the back one tighten up mechanism can be shown in Figure 30,31 and 33 pass through methods such as inblock cast or friction welding be molded over the door inside face on Heat forming boss 458, can also be suitable adhesive agent 460 shown in figure 32.The example of this suitable adhesive agent is polyurethane and polyolefin.Respectively it is fixed when selecting above-mentioned braided material as the frenulum hinge simultaneously for use at two edges 452 of frenulum hinge and 456 places when using rivet or boss, recommend two edges 452 and 456 places to have one or more folds, thereby increase itself and the Joint strenght of pointing out that is connected of the door section 448 of connecting element/hinge flanging 436 and easy fracture.When the frenulum hinges fixing of using adhesive agent with braided material fixes on when last, recommend that only 452 places are provided with one or more folds at the edge, in order to increase its with connecting element/hinge flanging 436 between the fastener bonded assembly Joint strenght that rivet 454 is connected or other is suitable.
Frenulum hinge 450 has the centre portion 462 of a leap on easy fracture zone 446 between two edge 452 and 456, when fracture takes place owing to plastics cold short in door, this centre portion 462 will bend, thereby the door section 448 that allows to break continues outwards to curve, so that air bag can be launched continuously, the door section that will break remains on the automobile framework safely simultaneously.Recommend the centre portion 462 of elastic frenulum hinge 450 under its mounting condition, to have an outside folded part 463 (as shown in figure 30), this folded part 463 trails (as shown in figure 33) when rupturing from connecting element/hinge flanging 436 at door section 448, thereby reduce frenulum hinge required amount of tension between its bindiny mechanism 454 and 458 or 460, thereby the door section that will break when making airbag deployment remains on the automobile framework.
(shown in Figure 34-37) according to another embodiment of the invention, addition line door assembly with hinge and glass in right hand and left 450 ' is Unitarily molded on panel 410 by a kind of second plastic material different with the material of panel 410, or the coverlet type of alone becoming forms.Panel 410, automobile supporting frame 411 and gas-bag system 418 can with first embodiment shown in above-mentioned Figure 29-33 in identical, therefore still use identical reference number to indicate for these assemblies.
The material that is used for moulding addition line door assembly with hinge and glass in right hand and left 450 ' is a kind ofly can keep relatively large elasticity or ductility under the low temperature of the brittle temperature that is starkly lower than panel 410 employed materials.The example that is suitable for the plastic material of this addition line door assembly with hinge and glass in right hand and left 450 ' of moulding comprises polyolefin neoprene, polyurethane synthetic rubber, polyester neoprene and silicon or the rotten plastics of rubber; Yet, the mechanism that this hinge 450 ' is connected on the panel is different with foregoing first embodiment with method.
As illustrate shown in Figure 37, panel 410 and frenulum hinge 450 ' are by moulding independently of each other (for example being formed by the foregoing first and second plastic material moldings respectively), and in welding sequence subsequently, be joined together, by this welding fabrication, panel 410 and frenulum hinge 450 ' are by permanently molten for one.
As shown in figure 34, hinge 450 ' is a sheet shaped piece that has a marginal portion 452 ' (this marginal portion is pressed near the flanging 436 of door 414 in the panel 410), and the size and dimension of its preferred structure is consistent with flanging 436 substantially.Hinge 450 ' can be formed by the flaky material moulding; Can form by injection mo(u)lding; Perhaps can form by other forming method that widely uses such as moulding such as pressure die-casting, vacuum pressing and casting.Hinge 450 ' also has a single-piece door section 456 ', this door section 456 ' is crossed on the inside face of door 414, its extended distance on this inside face is greater than the extended distance (as shown in figure 30) of hinge 450, recommend this door section 456 ' leap on the overwhelming majority of the inside face of door 414, thereby has identical substantially size and dimension with door 414, as shown in figure 34, so that make door 414 have uniform sweep.After the door section 456 ' of hinge 450 ' is installed, have substantially identical extending range with door 414 and extend through and cover on the air bag 422, do not tear seam 416 places but extend to, as shown in figure 34, this is to tear the easily broken fragility of seam 416 maintenance design-calculateds in order to make.Identical with the hinge 450 among first embodiment, frenulum hinge 450 ' also has a centre portion 462 ' that is positioned between hinge flanging part 452 ' and the door section 456 ', this centre portion 462 ' is crossed on the stressed serious join domain 446 between flanging on the panel 410 436 and the door 414, and its function is same as the previously described embodiments.Present embodiment does not need the folded part 463 among the embodiment shown in Figure 30, this be because the elasticity of frenulum in the present embodiment greater than the frenulum among first embodiment.
According to second embodiment, the method for optimizing that addition line door assembly with hinge and glass in right hand and left 450 ' is fixed on the relevant position of panel 410 is welding.In welding, panel 410 and frenulum hinge 450 ' fully are heated to fusing on its surperficial select location, thereby two layers are fused into one at weld nugget 470 places, as Figure 34 and 36 schematically shown in.TECHNOLOGY OF WELDING PLASTICS those of skill in the art should be understood that, any all can being used in the existing welding technique links together these two kinds of plastic layers, comprising, for example, ultrasonic welding, vibrations welding, induction soldering, heat dish guiding welding, electromagnetic radiation welding, microwave radiation welding and radio-frequency welding etc.The selection of welding method partly depends on the moulding comformability of existing installation situation, economy and material.No matter select any method for use, selected method all must make material have sufficient fusion intensity, thereby can withstand the load that is added on this frenulum hinge 450 ' when air bag 422 launches, so that make it keep being connected with flanging 436 with door 414.
Figure 35 has schematically shown the overall device that can be used to frenulum hinge 450 ' is welded on the panel 410 and has arranged.As shown in the figure, frenulum hinge layer 450 ' is adjacent to panel layer 410 and places and clamped by a suitable gripping apparatus 472.The characteristics of this equipment 472 are as follows: have a frenulum hinge 450 ' the movably upper platen 476 of fixing lower platen 474 on it and that can recline, this upper platen 476 can move lower platen 474 by green phase, and enter or disengage, thereby respectively door 414 on the panel 410 and frenulum hinge layer 450 ' are clamped or release with panel layer 410.Certainly, the concrete structure of gripping apparatus 472 will depend on the contour shape that determined by panel 410 and near distance limit, and according to the welding method that uses and different.Gripping apparatus 472 can also provide an inlet for welding fabrication instrument (being schematically shown as 478 among Figure 35), this welding fabrication instrument can enter or disengage by opening on the lower platen 474 of gripping apparatus 472 and frenulum hinge layer 450 ', thereby molds weld nugget 470.We think, TECHNOLOGY OF WELDING PLASTICS those of skill in the art should be understood that, gripping apparatus disclosed herein and welding fabrication instrument only are used to schematically show can adopted entire arrangement scheme, and the concrete structure of these instruments and arrangement will partly be decided according to the structure of panel 410 and the welding process of employing.
The concrete form of weld nugget 470 will be according to concrete operating needs and is different.For example Figure 34 has represented to adopt the scheme of several weld nuggets 470 discrete, the space, these weld nuggets 470 have been connected to the flanging part 452 ' of hinge 450 on the flanging 436 in the panel 410, simultaneously door section 456 ' have been connected on the door 414 in the panel 410.Can more as required or less use welding in addition.For example, when needed, can weld whole or its main portion of contact interface.Under any circumstance, the use of welding should not influence the outward appearance of the exposed surface (promptly so-called " category-A " surface) of the panel that can be seen by the occupant.In other words, the moulding of weld nugget 470 should be controlled, thus make its by after the moulding can not " category-A " surface on by visual detection to (for example do not have on the category-A surface by melt, pressurize or other because of the defective due to welding).
By making frenulum hinge 450 ' and panel 410 respectively by independent molded, just can before being connected, the two carry out independent performance testing respectively to the two, and in the forming process of further having simplified under the special situation on the back side that frenulum hinge material 450 ' is molded into panel 410, in this extraordinary circumstances, panel 410 has complicated profile (comprising some recessed areas in this profile), like this, frenulum hinge 450 ' being molded into will be very difficult on the relevant position of panel 410.
Figure 38 and 39 has represented a cover plate assembly that is used for the gas-filled protective assembly 510 that is installed on the Automobile instrument 511.This assembly 510 comprises an air bag doors and the rectangular frame shape chimb of being summarized the duroplasts of expression by 514 in Figure 38 and 39 by 512 summary expressions.Air bag doors 512 has been integrally formed on the chimb 514, thereby has formed a monomer integral panels 516.Assembly 510 also comprises the retaining part 518 of an instrument carrier panel 511.Monomer panel 516 is fixed on the position of an opening 520 on the retaining part 518 of crossing over instrument carrier panel 511, shown in Figure 38 and 39.A froth bed shown in 519 among Figure 39 has covered holding element 518 and monomer panel 516.A skin covering of the surface shown in 556 among Figure 38 is placed in again on the froth bed 519.
