Definitions

  • the present invention relates to pre-ignition powder for thermal fuses currentless ignition of the gas set of an airbag gas generator of motor vehicles
  • the gas sets used in automotive airbag gas generators are typically very stable thermally.
  • To the gas set at high ambient temperature e.g. in case of a Igniting vehicle fires in a controlled manner are so-called thermal fuses used.
  • the thermal fuse ensures that the finished gas generator before and after installation, e.g. in the motor vehicle not only at an uncontrollably high level Temperature is ignited and it may then lead to a leak or even to Fragmentation of the gas generator housing - especially with an aluminum housing - come Accordingly, the thermal fuse ensures that the implementation of the gas-generating mixture thermally triggered far below this critical temperature becomes. In such a case, they are prevented by their early implementation and controlled ignition of the gas set, the destruction of the gas generator housing and avoids the associated dangers
  • a possible embodiment for a thermal fuse includes a container, that with a pre-ignition powder, for example in granular form (pyrotechnic mixture) is filled (0.1 to 0.5 g), which is preferably between 150 ° C. and 200 ° C ignites itself and releases so much heat that the ignition of the actual lighter and / or the gas set is guaranteed.
  • a pre-ignition powder for example in granular form (pyrotechnic mixture) is filled (0.1 to 0.5 g), which is preferably between 150 ° C. and 200 ° C ignites itself and releases so much heat that the ignition of the actual lighter and / or the gas set is guaranteed.
  • Pyrotechnic airbag gas generators are usually used in the event of a vehicle crash ignited by a current pulse by means of a sensor Ignition charge intensified, which with the hot gas and solid particles generated actual gas set - often in tablet form - burns almost synchronously.
  • the burning one Gas set supplies the filling gas of the protective cushion.
  • the autoignition temperature currently Common gas sets are around 400 ° C for the azide-containing ones and for the azide-free ones Gas rates still at around 300 ° C.
  • nitrocellulose powders have been used as pre-ignition powder used for thermal fuses. These have a self-ignition temperature (Decomposition point) from 150-200 ° C.
  • the nitrocellulose powders are not enough Stability requirements that have recently been required by the automotive industry Thereafter, thermal fuses of hot storage must be kept at 107 ° C for 400 hours (224 ° Fahrenheit; U.S. Patent 5,460,671, column 3) with a weight loss ⁇ 3% and below Withstand full functionality.
  • nitrocellulose tends to become decomposes slowly even at low temperatures and therefore does not guarantee that Functionality as pre-ignition powder over a longer period of time, like this at Motor vehicles, however, is required
  • thermal fuses which are said to be able to the gas-generating mixtures commonly used in gas generators are widely used ignite thermally controlled below the critical temperature, and not the Disadvantages of nitrocellulose have as substances or as mixtures of these Thermal fuses can use connections that are selected from the compound classes of oxalates, peroxodisulfates (persulfates), permanganates, nitrides, Perborates, bismuthates, formates, nitrates, sulfamates, bromates or peroxides.
  • oxalates peroxodisulfates (persulfates), permanganates, nitrides, Perborates, bismuthates, formates, nitrates, sulfamates, bromates or peroxides.
  • oxidizable components such as explosives with low deflagration or decomposition points, preferably calcium bistetrazolamine, 3-nitro-1,2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), 5-aminotetrazole nitrate, nitroguanidine (NIGU), Guanidine nitrate or bistrazolamine can be used.
  • the substances although one lower deflagration point or decomposition point than the gas generator used Having a mixture, but decomposing endothermically, require at least one Fuel and possibly a reducing agent to be used as a thermal fuse to be able to. Examples of fuels are those given above called oxidizable components.
  • Metal powder for example, can be used as the reducing agent. titanium powder are preferably used.
  • To influence the deflagration points can include oxidizing agents such as potassium nitrate or potassium perchlorate or Mixtures of these oxidizing agents are added.
  • US Pat. No. 5,460,671 describes ignition powder which consists of a mixture of a fuel and an oxidizing agent.
  • the oxidizing agents are selected from the group consisting of alkali metal or alkaline earth metal chlorates or mixtures thereof. especially potassium or sodium chlorate are examples of the fuels Carbohydrates such as D-glucose, D-galactose, D-ribose, etc.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide pre-ignition powder, the do not have the disadvantages of nitrocellulose described above and the Stability requirements mentioned above (i.e. weight loss ⁇ 3% at warm storage at 107 ° C for 400 hours) and overheating of the gas generator (at temperatures above 240 ° C) with a small amount (0.1 to 0.5g) Early ignition powder (in the early ignition unit) can ignite the airbag gas set.
  • the fuel (A) is in the early ignition powders according to the invention for thermal Fuses in an amount of 20 to 40 parts by weight, preferably 25-35 parts by weight and especially 28-32 parts by weight before
  • the oxidizing agents (B) preferably Potassium chlorate and potassium nitrate, potassium chlorate and potassium perchlorate as well as mixtures of these three oxidizing agents are preferably in an amount of 40-80 parts by weight 50-75 parts by weight and in particular 60-75 parts by weight.
  • the stabilizers (C) is hydroxyethyl cellulose (Natrosol 250 HR from Aqualon) and Cellulose acetobutyrate is particularly preferred.
  • the polyamides are stabilizers (C) in addition to conventional polyamides according to the invention amide derivatives such as dicyandiamide (Cyanoguanidine) to count
  • the stabilizers are in a proportion of 0.5-20 Parts by weight, preferably 0.5-10 parts by weight and in particular 0.5-5 parts by weight
  • the pre-ignition powders according to the invention can optionally Processing aids (D) in an amount of 0.5-5 parts by weight, preferably 0.5 to 3 Parts by weight included.
  • auxiliary fuels (E) can optionally be added in one Amount of 0.5-20 parts by weight, preferably 0.5-10 parts by weight and in particular 0.5-5 Parts by weight are available.
  • fillers (F) can optionally be combined in one Proportion of 0.5-12 parts by weight, preferably 0.5-10 parts by weight and in particular 0.5-5 Parts by weight are available.
  • the pre-ignition powder for thermal fuses according to the invention are not only for that Airbag area limited, but can also trigger mechanical Movements and in pressure and security elements are used,
  • the toxicities of those used for the thermal fuses according to the invention correspond to the Swiss poison class 3, 4 and 5 Reaction products of these mixtures is due to the previous raw material balance and low use does not endanger or harm humans / vehicle occupants fear.
  • the unused mixes are good too with conventional means dispose of or recycle.
  • the thermal fuses according to the invention are with others gas generating mixtures or pyrotechnic phrases, e.g. Boron / potassium nitrate good compatible and can be added as granules or tablets or in preferably made of aluminum (or steel) container.
  • the Purity and the grain size of these raw materials as well as the various used Mixtures of the oxidizing agents and fuels influence the Decomposition temperature and type.
