Definitions
- the invention relates to a relay for actuating a belt tensioner or pretensioner on motor vehicle safety belts when colliding with an obstacle with a protective tube or reed contact arrangement which is switched by a magnetic system and according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Such a relay is already known from FR-A 2 366 683, where in a protective tube arrangement a ring magnet is guided in a spring-loaded manner, which triggers the switching operation of the relay contacts in the event of an impact on an obstacle or in another vehicle moving from behind.
- a relay for actuating a belt tensioner in the manner of a collision sensor is also known, a spring-loaded mass in a housing coming into contact with a plurality of contact elements in the event of an impact against the vehicle with a fixed contact.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of developing a relay for actuating a belt tensioner or pretensioner of the type mentioned in such a way that the required switching operation is triggered in a structurally simple design with only a single relay in the event of impacts on the motor vehicle.
- the switching operation required and to be carried out immediately is to be triggered by a single relay when another motor vehicle drives up from behind.
- the relay should also be designed so that the shocks that do not occur, or occur approximately in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, are detected in a single relay with a simple contact arrangement for triggering the switching process, that is to say, for example, when the motor vehicle is thrown against a lateral obstacle or the shocks caused by another vehicle moving sideways.
- such a relay is characterized as a solution in that the protective tube or reed contact arrangement is arranged in a housing with its longitudinal axis oriented perpendicular to the direction of travel of the vehicle and vertically to the horizontal plane of the vehicle, and that the annular magnet system encompassing the contact arrangement is arranged perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the protective tube enclosing the contact arrangement is held essentially horizontally movable via springs equidistant from the contact arrangement in its rest position.
- the ring-shaped magnet system is guided in a radially enlarged recess of the relay housing and is supported radially around the circumference by springs against the wall of the recess of the housing or on the inside of the ring via springs radially against the protective tube of the contact arrangement and is held equidistant from the contact arrangement in its rest position.
- the relay housing has a cylindrical recess which runs coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the contact arrangement, and that the annular magnet system is anchored horizontally movably on both end faces of the cylindrical recess under spring tension via spring pairs which are aligned essentially axially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the contact arrangement and is held equidistant from the contact arrangement in its rest position.
- a further embodiment provides that the ring-shaped magnet system is arranged at the upper edge of a bearing bowl which tapers conically downwards in the outside diameter and crowned at the tapered end and which rests on the end face of the cylindrical recess, in the plane of the ring-shaped magnet system around the circumference is supported by springs against the wall of the recess of the housing or on the inside of the ring by means of springs radially against the protective tube of the contact arrangement and is held in its rest position equidistant from the contact arrangement.
- the annular magnet system is arranged on the large diameter of a conical spring which is aligned coaxially with the contact arrangement, with its small diameter encompassing a protective tube end of the contact arrangement or a corresponding bearing journal, on an end face of the recess in the housing supports, for the low-friction guidance of the ring-shaped magnet system in a spring transverse to the longitudinal axis of the spring along the other end face of the receptacle of the housing and the magnet system is designed to be equidistant from the contact arrangement in its rest position.
- the ring-shaped magnet system consisting of a ring magnet consisting of permanent magnetic material or of several, preferably four, iron bars forming an equidistant arrangement between two magnet yokes rings arranged permanent magnets.
- the ring-shaped magnet system can also consist of a ring made of plastic, individual permanent magnets can be molded into this ring, or the ring consists of a plastic material that is enriched with powdered permanent magnetic material.
- the bearing bowl used in one embodiment for supporting the annular magnet system can also be formed from a plastic enriched with pulverized permanent magnetic material, or have a corresponding number of permanent magnets molded in the same spacing on the upper edge as an annular magnet system.
- the bearing bowl can, for example, be supported directly on one end face of the recess in the relay housing or by means of a centrally guiding element and can execute the corresponding wobbling movement.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows a relay according to the invention, which consists of a housing 2 with a protective tube or reed contact 1 fixed therein and an annular magnet system 4.
- the magnet system 4 consisting of a permanent magnetic ring, has a substantially larger inner diameter than the diameter of the protective tube or reed contact 1 and is mounted and guided horizontally movably in a horizontal recess 6.
- the magnetic ring of the magnet system 4 is supported radially by springs 5 on the wall of the recess 6.
- the springs 5 are arranged evenly distributed around the circumference of the magnetic ring, as can be seen from FIG. 2.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of an embodiment similar to FIG. 1 with an annular magnet system 4 supported on the inside of the ring by springs 5 on the protective tube of the contact arrangement 1, which is also guided in a horizontal recess 6 of the relay housing 2.
- FIG. 4 shows an embodiment which shows the magnet system 4 in a cylindrical recess 6 in the housing 2 which runs coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the contact arrangement 1, the annular magnet system 4 moving horizontally via spring pairs 5 which are aligned essentially axially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the contact arrangement 1 two end faces 7 of the cylindrical recess 6 is anchored under spring tension.
- FIG. 5 shows in section a further embodiment with an annular magnet system 4 arranged on the upper edge of a bearing bowl 8.
- the bearing bowl 8 is likewise arranged in a cylindrical recess 6 of the housing 2 which runs coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the contact arrangement.
- the bearing bowl 8 tapers conically downward from the annular magnet system 4, which forms the largest outer diameter, and is spherical at the tapered end.
- the tapered end can rest directly on the end face 7 of the cylindrical recess or be guided in the tumbling movement by a centering element.
- the bearing bowl 8 is supported by springs 5 and the outer wall of the housing 6.
- the bearing bowl 8 can also be supported on the inside of the ring via springs 5 on the protective tube of the contact system 1.
- FIG. 6 shows a top view of an annular magnet system 4, which can consist, for example, of a ring made of plastic, in which individual permanent magnets 11, preferably four, are molded.
- Such a ring for the magnet system 4 can also consist of two iron rings 12, to which individual permanent magnets 11 are interposed spaced around the circumference, as can be seen, for example, from FIG.
- FIGS. 6 and 7 The embodiments of the ring-shaped magnet system 4 shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 and described for this can of course be used for all embodiments of the relay, including those with a storage bowl 8 (FIG. 7).
- FIG. 8 shows a further embodiment in which the ring-shaped magnet system 4 is arranged on the large diameter of a conical spring 9 which is aligned coaxially with the contact arrangement 1, with its small diameter encompassing a protective tube end of the contact arrangement 1 or a corresponding bearing pin 10, is supported on an end face 7 of the recess 6 of the housing 2, here the Recess 6 also runs coaxially with the longitudinal axis of the contact arrangement 1.
- the housing 2 of the relay according to the invention preferably consists of a plastic material which has smooth surfaces, so that when the magnet system 4 is guided or attached to the housing, in some embodiments the magnet system 4 can be moved freely to make contact.
- the connections 3 of the contact system 1 are led out of the housing 2 in a suitable manner and provided with corresponding connection lugs (not shown).
