Lenkrad mit herausfahrbarem Auffang-Polster und Mantel-Airbag, in VerbindungSteering wheel with extendable cushion and jacket airbag, in conjunction

a) mit Meß-Wertungs und Auslösungssensorik-Systemena) with measurement, evaluation and triggering sensor systems

b) mit einem Kniepolster-Schutz-Systemb) with a knee pad protection system

Anwendung der ErfindungApplication of the invention

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf das Gebiet der Kraftfahrzeuge zum Schutz für den Fahrer des Fahrzeuges.The invention relates to the field of motor vehicles for the protection of the driver of the vehicle.

Charakteristik der bekannten technischen LösungenCharacteristics of known technical solutions

a) Auffang-Polster mit Füllmaterial und Ring-Airbag, ohne herausfahrendes Auffang-PoIstera) Impact cushion with filling material and ring airbag, without extending impact cushion

Ziel der ErfindungAim of the invention

Es ist das Ziel der Erfindung, die Gefahren für den Fahrer des Fahrzeuges bei Chrash über die bekannten Sicherheitslösungen hinaus, zu verringern.The aim of the invention is to reduce the risks for the driver of the vehicle in the event of a crash beyond the known safety solutions.

Wesen der ErfindungEssence of the invention

Ausgehend vom Ziel der Erfindung besteht die Aufgabe darin, ein Lenkrad-Sicherheits-System zu finden, das maximale Sicherheit für Fahrer und Beifahrer (bei Chrash) ermöglicht.Based on the aim of the invention, the task is to find a steering wheel safety system that enables maximum safety for the driver and passenger (in the event of a crash).

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst, indem ein absenkbares Lenkrad mit einem Auffang-Polster (herausfahrbar, Richtung Fahrer) von einem Mantel-Airbag umhüllt wird, wenn dieser bei starkem Chrash zum Schutz des Fahrers erforderlich wird (Fig.1 - 2)According to the invention, the problem is solved by a lowerable steering wheel with a cushion (extendable, towards the driver) being covered by a jacket airbag if this is required to protect the driver in the event of a severe crash (Fig. 1 - 2)

Fiq.1 -2-3Fig.1-2-3

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe gelöst, indem Sicherheits-Meß-Auswerte und Auslösesensorik-Systeme (SMS) das Ergebnis, z. B. den Mantel-Airbag füllen oder das herausfahren des Auffang-Polsters einleiten.According to the invention, the problem is solved by safety measurement evaluation and triggering sensor systems (SMS) that generate the result, e.g. filling the jacket airbag or initiating the extension of the impact cushion.

Zur Erfüllung der Sicherheitsprogramme werden durch S.M-S. folgende Aufgaben gelöst.To fulfill the security programs, S.M.-S. solves the following tasks.

1) bei Chrash, das Auslösen der Lenkrad-Absenkmechanismen, die elektronisch oder mechanischer Art sein können, z. B., Federn einzeln wie mehrere1) in the event of a crash, the activation of the steering wheel lowering mechanisms, which can be electronic or mechanical, e.g. springs individually or several

2) messen der Sitz und Lehnenposition des Kraftfahrers und nach Auswertung das herausfahren des Auffang-Polsters einleiten und die Airbag-Auffüllung, wenn erforderlich, auslösen2) measure the driver's seat and backrest position and, after evaluation, initiate the extension of the impact cushion and trigger the airbag inflation, if necessary

3) Kniepolsterschutz zur Verringerung der Beckenvorverlagerung3) Knee pad protection to reduce pelvic forward displacement

Das Kniepolster soll herausfahrbar sein und wird von vorhandenen Energiespeichern oder Federn bei Chrash in seine Sicherheitsschutz-Position befördertThe knee pad should be extendable and is moved into its safety protection position by existing energy storage devices or springs in the event of a crash

Die Kombination von Mantel-Airbag und Auffang-Polster kann z. B. wie folgt ausgeführt werden. Gemeinsame Halteplatte, Auffang-Polster, Airbag und Energiespeicher.The combination of jacket airbag and impact cushion can be implemented as follows: Common retaining plate, impact cushion, airbag and energy storage.

Die Kontaktzone des Auffang-Polsters wird vom Airbag einlagig überzogen. Der Airbag kann in diesem Bereich gummiert werden. Die gummierte Fläche wird mit Fangbänder gehalten. Durch die seitliche Faltung des Mantel-Airbags um das Auffang-Polster herum, einschließlich Fangbänder für die Kontaktfläche, kann die Gefahr des Anschießens des Kopfes oder anderer Körperteile im Vergleich zu herkömmlichen Airbags wesentlich verringert werden.The contact zone of the impact cushion is covered by a single layer of airbag. The airbag can be rubberized in this area. The rubberized surface is held in place with safety straps. By folding the airbag sideways around the impact cushion, including safety straps for the contact surface, the risk of hitting the head or other body parts can be significantly reduced compared to conventional airbags.
