Detailed Description

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle interior structure according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the components of the vehicle interior structure of fig. 1. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the vehicle interior structure of FIG. 1 taken along line I-I. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a vehicle interior structure 100 of the present embodiment includes a pillar 110, a pillar garnish 120, and an airbag 130. The pillar garnish 120 is disposed on the inner side of the pillar 110 in the vehicle width direction D1. The airbag 130 is disposed between the pillar 110 and the pillar garnish 120 in a folded state. In the present embodiment, the pillar 110 is, for example, a pillar located between the windshield and the front door, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the airbag and the protector of fig. 3. Referring to fig. 3 and 4, the vehicle interior structure 100 further includes a protection member 140. The protector 140 includes an upper wall portion 142, a lower wall portion 144, and a side wall portion 146, the upper wall portion 142 covering an upper portion of the airbag 130, the lower wall portion 144 covering a lower portion of the airbag 130, and the side wall portion 146 covering an inner side of the airbag 130 in the vehicle width direction D1. Further, the protective member 140 has a plurality of cam ribs 1401 projecting downward and inward in the vehicle width direction D1 from portions of the protective member 140 that straddle the lower wall portion 144 and the side wall portions 146, and a pivot portion 1402 located on the side wall portions 146.

As described above, the protector 140 is additionally provided between the pillar garnish 120 and the airbag 130 of the present embodiment. The protective member 140 may be partially rotated about the pivot portion 1402 as the airbag 130 is deployed to push away a partial structure of the pillar garnish 120 by means of the cam rib 1401, thereby providing a space required for the deployment of the airbag 130 and preventing the airbag 130 from directly striking the pillar garnish 120. Thus, the vehicle interior structure 100 of the present embodiment can prevent the pillar garnish 120 from being damaged when the airbag 130 is deployed.

Fig. 5A and 5B illustrate the mode of action of the protector of fig. 4. Specifically, when the airbag 130 deploys, the portion of the protection member 140 below the pivot portion 1402 is pushed by the airbag 130 to rotate about the pivot portion 1402 as shown in fig. 4 to 5A and 5A to 5B, thereby pushing the pillar garnish 120 open. In the present embodiment, the pivot portion 1402 is, for example, a concave structure provided adjacent to the upper end portion of the cam rib 1401, which extends in the longitudinal direction D2 of the pillar garnish 120 to constitute a portion of the protective member 140 where the structural strength is relatively low. Thus, the portion below the pivot portion 1402 of the protection member 140 (i.e., the portion including the cam rib 1401) can be rotated about the pivot portion 1402 by the urging of the airbag 130 as described above, and the portion above the pivot portion 1402 can be made to rotate as little as possible by the mutual abutment with the internal structure of the pillar garnish 120 or other suitable fixing means.

Further, in the present embodiment, the end E1 of the protector 140 on the outer side in the width direction D1 of the vehicle abuts against the end E2 of the pillar trim 120, and the protector 140 has a gap G between the outer side in the width direction D1 of the vehicle and the pillar trim 120, the gap G being, for example, approximately triangular as shown in fig. 3. The gap G can alleviate the impact force generated when the airbag 130 is deployed, and prevent the protector 140 and the pillar garnish 120 from being damaged.

The cam rib 1401 of the present embodiment is, for example, an arc-shaped structure that extends downward from the pivot portion 1402 and outward in the width direction D1 of the vehicle. That is, the cam rib 1401 extends from the pivot portion 1402 toward the lower wall portion 144, and extends from the lower wall portion 144 in the direction toward the end E1, and is formed into an arc-shaped structure spanning the side wall portion 146 and the lower wall portion 144, so as to favorably push the pillar garnish 120 as shown in fig. 5A and 5B.

Fig. 6 is a partial perspective view of the pillar trim of fig. 1. Referring to fig. 6, in the present embodiment, the inner surface 120a of the pillar garnish 120 faces the protector 140, and the pillar garnish 120 has a plurality of reinforcing ribs 122 on the inner surface 120a thereof, and the reinforcing ribs 122 extend along the width direction D3 of the pillar garnish 120 to improve the structural strength of the pillar garnish 120. Each cam rib 1401 shown in fig. 4 is located between adjacent two of the reinforcing ribs 122. Accordingly, the cam rib 1401 can push the pillar garnish 120 well, and the pillar garnish 120 having the structural strength improved by the reinforcing rib 122 is not easily damaged by the pushing of the cam rib 1401.

In summary, in the vehicle interior structure of the present invention, the protection member is added between the pillar garnish and the airbag. The protection member may partially rotate around the pivot portion in accordance with the deployment of the airbag, so as to push away a partial structure of the pillar trim by the cam rib, thereby providing a space required for the deployment of the airbag and preventing the airbag from directly striking the pillar trim. Thus, the utility model discloses a vehicle inner structure can avoid causing the pillar decoration to damage when air bag expandes.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and not to limit it; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that: the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments may still be modified, or some or all of the technical features may be equivalently replaced; such modifications or substitutions do not depart from the scope of the embodiments of the present invention, and the essence of the corresponding technical solutions is not disclosed.
