A method of manufacturing an igniter assembly is provided in which the first inclined surface portion and the annular corner portion are deformed so as to decrease the first inclined surface portion and the annular corner portion.

Conventionally, in the manufacture of an igniter assembly, a method of manufacturing a igniter main body part manufactured through a welding process by injection-molding a resin to form a resin part is generally performed.
The manufacturing method of the present invention can eliminate the need for welding the header and the storage cup by associating the shape of the header with the shape of the storage cup.

The header 10 is provided with a conductive pin 5 including a ground pin 5a and a center pin 5b.
The earth pin 5 a is directly connected to the lower surface 12 of the header 10, and the center pin 5 b is fitted in the hole of the header 10 while being surrounded by the insulator 6.
The bridge wire 7 is bridged between the upper surface 11 of the header and the upper end portion of the center pin 5b.
The attachment of the header 10, the conductive pins 5 and the bridge wire 7 is not limited to FIG. 1, but two conductive pins are provided at the center of the header as shown in FIG. 1 of US Pat. No. 6,874,423, for example. As shown in FIG. 2 of US Pat. No. 6,755,670, the two conductive pins may both penetrate through a central hole formed in the header.

A stainless steel cup 20 is attached to the header 10.
The storage cup 20 includes a bottom surface portion 21 and a peripheral wall portion 22.
The thickness of the bottom surface portion 21 is adjusted in the range of 0.2 to 0.35 mm, and the thickness of the peripheral wall portion 22 is adjusted in the range of 0.15 to 0.25 mm.
A circular thin portion having a thickness of about 0.05 to 0.11 mm is formed at the center of the bottom surface portion 21, and this portion becomes a fragile portion.

The peripheral wall portion 22 has a main body portion 23 having a uniform outer diameter, a first inclined surface portion 24 extended so as to decrease the outer diameter from the main body portion 23, and an outer diameter increasing from the first inclined surface portion 24. The second inclined surface portion 25 is extended.
A boundary portion between the first inclined surface portion 24 and the second inclined surface portion 25 is an annular corner portion 26.
An opening 27 is formed in the second inclined surface portion 25.
The length (L1) of the first inclined surface portion 24 and the length (L2) of the second inclined surface portion 25 satisfy L2> L1, and are adjusted to L2 / L1 = 1.5.

The storage cup 20 and the header 10 are fixed without being welded to each other.
An igniting agent filling chamber 30 is formed by a part of the bottom surface portion 21 and the peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage cup and the upper surface 11 of the header, and is filled with an igniting agent (not shown). The ignition powder and the bridge wire 7 are in close contact with each other.
The remaining portion of the peripheral wall portion 22 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 14 a of the header large diameter portion 14.
The annular corner portion 26 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 15 a of the header small diameter portion 15.

The inner diameter (D1) of the main body 23 of the housing cup peripheral wall portion, the inner diameter (D2) of the annular corner portion 26, and the inner diameter (D3) of the housing cup opening satisfy the relationship D2 <D1 <D3.

Since the portion of the igniter main body excluding a part of the conductive pin 5 is covered with the resin portion 35, all the abutting portions of the housing cup 20 and the header 10 are pressed by the resin from the outside and are in close contact with each other. It is in the state that was done.
For this reason, since the ignition agent filling chamber 30 is maintained in an airtight state, the ignition agent is not adversely affected by moisture.
If a container having elasticity is used as the storage cup 20, the annular corner portion 26 works to press the small diameter portion 15 of the header 10 when the storage cup 20 is attached to the header 10. A range extending from the first inclined surface portion 24, the second inclined surface portion 25, and the lower surface 12 of the header 10 is covered with the resin portion 35. For this reason, these are pressed from the outside, and the peripheral wall portion 22 of the housing cup 20 and the peripheral surface 13 of the header 10 are in a pressure-bonded state.
Therefore, the storage cup 20 is firmly fixed to the header 10, and the storage cup 20 is not easily detached from the header 10 even when the igniter assembly 1 is operated.

Next, the operation of the igniter assembly of FIG. 1 will be described.
In operation, the bridge wire 7 is heated by energization, and the ignition agent is ignited.
The combustion product generated by ignition of the ignition powder destroys the bottom surface portion 21 of the storage cup 20 (the portion including the fragile portion when there is a fragile portion), and releases a combustion product such as a flame. At this time, the bottom surface portion 21 and the main body portion 23 adjacent thereto may be destroyed.
Then, a force in the direction of the central axis X is applied to the bottom surface portion 21 of the storage cup 20. Although the header 10 and the housing cup 20 are not fixed to each other by welding, in the igniter assembly 1 shown in FIG. 1, the housing cup 20 and the header 10 are in close contact with each other, and the relationship of D2 <D1 is satisfied. Since the periphery is covered with the resin portion 35 and the second inclined surface portion 25 is not easily deformed to the outside, the storage cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X.

More specifically, even when the storage cup 20 is about to move in the direction of the central axis X, in addition to the annular corner portion 26 catching on the annular step surface 16, the second inclined surface portion 25 is covered from the outside. The resin portion 35 is not broken or melted, and suppresses the second inclined surface portion from being deformed outward.
Therefore, the storage cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X due to the drop-off preventing effect due to the second inclined surface portion 25 itself being held by the resin portion 35.
If the relationship of L2> L1 is satisfied, the force that suppresses the deformation of the second inclined surface portion 25 by the resin portion 35 becomes larger than the force with which the header 10 comes out of the receiving cup 20, and the second inclined surface portion 25 is increased. This is preferable because the effect of preventing dropout is enhanced.

<Method for Manufacturing Igniter Assembly of FIG. 1>
Next, a method for manufacturing the igniter assembly of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the dosing step, as shown in FIG. 6A, the storage cup 20 is filled with an igniting agent.
The storage cup 20 has a bottom surface portion 21 and a peripheral wall portion 22, and the peripheral wall portion 22 has a main body peripheral wall portion 23 having a uniform outer diameter and inner diameter, and an outer diameter and an inner diameter are enlarged from the main body peripheral wall portion 23. What has the extended 2nd inclined surface part 25 is used.
In this step, a portion corresponding to the first inclined surface portion 24 of the storage cup 20 in FIGS. 1A and 1B is not formed.

In the temporary press-fitting process of the header, as shown in FIGS. 6B and 6C, the header (with a conductive pin and a bridge wire) 10 is press-fitted into the housing cup 20 filled with the ignition agent. The igniter body is manufactured.
At this time, since the second inclined surface portion 25 acts as a guide member, press-fitting becomes easy.
It should be noted that the inner diameter of the main body peripheral wall portion 23 of the receiving cup 20 is adjusted to be slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the large-diameter portion 14 of the header 10 so that it can be press-fitted as described above.

In the molding process, as shown in FIG. 6D, resin is injection-molded with respect to the igniter main body.
At this time, the resin is injected from the bottom surface portion 21 side of the storage cup and obliquely with respect to the central axis X.
At this time, it is preferable to inject the resin from the direction perpendicular to the second inclined surface portion 25.
The injection direction of the resin is preferably 30 to 45 ° from the bottom surface side of the igniter main body and with respect to the central axis.
The injection pressure of the resin is about 10 to 20 MPa, for example, 15 MPa.
Due to the injection pressure at this time, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the main body peripheral wall portion 23 is bent from the contact portion of the annular step surface 16 to form the first inclined surface portion 24.
After the resin is injected and until the resin is cured, the same pressure as the injection pressure is maintained (pressure holding step) as shown in FIG. 6E, and the resin is taken out from the molding die after curing.
In addition, before injecting resin in FIG.6 (d), the process which deform | transforms the main body surrounding wall part 23 with a mechanical means, and forms the 1st inclined surface part 24 or its approximation can also be added.

The igniter assembly 1 manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention is covered with the housing cup 20 covering the header 10 being pressed from the outside by the resin portion 35. For this reason, the receiving cup 20 is in close contact with the header 10.
In the igniter assembly 1 manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention, the header 10 and the storage cup 20 are firmly coupled by the combination of the header 10, the storage cup 20 and the resin portion 35.
Since the ignition charge filling chamber 30 is also pressed in the central axis X direction, the pressure contact state between the ignition charge 31 and the bridge wire 7 is also maintained.
Further, since welding is unnecessary, erroneous ignition of the igniting agent due to welding heat is prevented.

(2) Igniter assembly of FIG. 2 The igniter assembly 100 of FIG. 2 is the same as the igniter assembly 1 of FIG. 1 except for the shape of the header. The same thing is used.

The header 110 has a substantially disk shape including an upper surface 111, a lower surface 112 and a peripheral surface 113.
A large-diameter portion 114 having a uniform outer diameter on the upper surface 111 side, and an inclined surface portion 115 extended from the large-diameter portion 114 so that the outer diameter decreases toward the lower surface 112.

The storage cup 20 and the header 110 are fixed without being welded to each other.
An igniting agent filling chamber 30 is formed by the bottom surface portion 21 and part of the peripheral wall portion 22 (main body portion 23) of the storage cup and the header upper surface 111, and the inside is filled with an igniting agent (not shown). The ignition powder and the bridge wire 7 are in close contact with each other.
The remaining portion of the main body portion 23 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 114 a of the large diameter portion 114.
The first inclined surface portion 24 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 115 a of the inclined surface portion 115.
The second inclined surface portion 25 of the storage cup is not in contact with the header 110.
The inner diameter (D1) of the main body 23 of the housing cup peripheral wall portion, the inner diameter (D2) of the annular corner portion 26, and the inner diameter (D3) of the housing cup opening satisfy the relationship D2 <D1 <D3.
The length (L1) of the first inclined surface portion 24 and the length (L2) of the second inclined surface portion 25 satisfy L2> L1, and L2 / L1 = about 1.5.

Since the igniter main body portion is covered with the resin portion 35 except for a part of the conductive pin 5, the contact portion between the housing cup 20 and the header 110 is pressed from the outside and brought into close contact. It has become.
For this reason, since the ignition agent filling chamber 30 is maintained in an airtight state, the ignition agent is not adversely affected by moisture.

In operation, the bridge wire 7 is heated by energization, and the ignition agent is ignited.
The combustion product generated by ignition of the igniting agent destroys the bottom surface portion 21 of the housing cup member 20 (the portion including the fragile portion when there is a fragile portion), and releases a combustion product such as a flame. At this time, the bottom surface portion 21 and the main body portion 23 adjacent thereto may be destroyed.
A force in the direction of the central axis X is applied to the bottom surface portion 21 of the storage cup portion 20. Although the header 110 and the storage cup 20 are not fixed to each other by welding, in the igniter assembly 100 of FIG. 2, the storage cup 20 and the header 110 are in close contact with each other and satisfy the relationship of D2 <D1. Since the periphery is covered with the resin portion 35 and the second inclined surface portion 25 is not easily deformed to the outside, the storage cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X.

More specifically, even when the storage cup 20 is about to move in the direction of the central axis X, the remaining portion of the main body 23 is brought into contact with the peripheral surface 114a of the large diameter portion, and the first inclined surface portion 24 is inclined. In addition to being in contact with the peripheral surface 115a of the surface portion, the resin portion 35 that covers the second inclined surface portion 25 from the outside is not destroyed, and the second inclined surface portion is prevented from being deformed outward. .
Therefore, the storage cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X due to the drop-off preventing effect due to the second inclined surface portion 25 itself being held by the resin portion 35.
And it is preferable if the relationship of L2> L1 is satisfied, since the drop-off preventing effect by the second inclined surface portion 25 is further enhanced.

  The igniter assembly 100 shown in FIG. 2 can be manufactured through the dosing process, the header temporary press-fitting process, and the molding process shown in FIGS. .

(3) Igniter assembly of FIG. 3 The igniter assembly 200 of FIG. 3 is the same as the igniter assembly 1 of FIG. 1 except for the shape of the header. The same thing is used.

The header 210 is a disk-shaped member having an upper surface 211, a lower surface 212, and a peripheral surface 213.
The header 210 is approximately half as thin as the header 10 of FIG. 1 and the header 110 of FIG.

The storage cup 20 and the header 210 are fixed without being welded to each other.
An igniting agent filling chamber 30 is formed by a part of the bottom surface portion 21 and the peripheral wall portion 22 (main body portion 23) of the storage cup and the header upper surface 211, and the inside is filled with an igniting agent (not shown). The ignition powder and the bridge wire 7 are in close contact with each other.
The remaining part of the main body 23 of the receiving cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 213 of the header 210.
The first inclined surface portion 24 and the second inclined surface portion 25 of the storage cup are not in contact with the header 210.
The inner diameter (D1) of the main body 23 of the housing cup peripheral wall portion, the inner diameter (D2) of the annular corner portion 26, and the inner diameter (D3) of the housing cup opening satisfy the relationship D2 <D1 <D3.
The length (L1) of the first inclined surface portion 24 and the length (L2) of the second inclined surface portion 25 satisfy L2> L1, and L2 / L1 = about 1.5.

Since the igniter main body portion is covered with the resin portion 35 except for a part of the conductive pin 5 (the entire storage cup 20 and the lower surface 212 of the header 210), the contact between the storage cup 20 and the header 210 The contact portion is pressed by the resin portion 35 from the outside and is in close contact.
For this reason, since the ignition agent filling chamber 30 is maintained in an airtight state, the ignition agent is not adversely affected by moisture.
That is, the inner diameter of the annular corner portion 26 of the receiving cup is smaller than the outer diameter of the header 210 and the inner diameter of the main body 23 of the receiving cup 20, and further protrudes from the header lower surface 212.
In this state, the resin portion 35 is covered except for the conductive pins 5 including the first inclined surface portion 24, the second inclined surface portion 25, and the header lower surface 21.
Therefore, the boundary portion between the main body portion 23 and the first inclined surface portion 24 comes into strong contact with the peripheral edge of the header lower surface 212, and the airtightness of the ignition charge filling chamber 30 is maintained. In addition, the storage cup 20 is strongly fixed to the header 210.

In operation, the bridge wire 7 is heated by energization, and the ignition agent is ignited.
The combustion product generated by ignition of the igniting agent destroys the bottom surface portion 21 of the housing cup member 20 (the portion including the fragile portion when there is a fragile portion), and releases a combustion product such as a flame. At this time, the bottom surface portion 21 and the main body portion 23 adjacent thereto may be destroyed.
A force in the direction of the central axis X is applied to the storage cup portion 20. The header 210 and the housing cup 20 are not fixed to each other by welding. However, in the igniter assembly 200 of FIG. 3, the housing cup 20 and the header 210 are in close contact with each other and satisfy the relationship of D2 <D1. The housing cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X by the same mechanism.

More specifically, even when the storage cup 20 is about to move in the direction of the central axis X, the resin portion that covers the second inclined surface portion 25 from the outside in addition to the annular corner portion 26 being caught by the lower surface 212. 35 is not destroyed, and the second inclined surface portion 25 is prevented from being deformed outward. Therefore, the storage cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X due to the drop-off preventing effect due to the second inclined surface portion 25 itself being held by the resin portion 35.
If the relationship of L2> L1 is satisfied, the force that suppresses the deformation of the second inclined surface portion 25 by the resin portion 35 becomes larger than the force with which the header 10 comes out of the receiving cup 20, and the second inclined surface portion 25 is increased. This is preferable because the effect of preventing dropout is enhanced.

  The igniter assembly 200 shown in FIG. 3 can be manufactured through the dosing process, the header temporary press-fitting process, and the molding process shown in FIGS. .

(4) Igniter assembly of FIG. 4 The igniter assembly 300 of FIG. 4 is the same as the igniter assembly 1 of FIG. 1 except that the shape of the header is different and the shape of the receiving cup is also different. Is. However, the same thing as the accommodation cup 20 of FIG. 1 can be used.

The header 310 has a substantially disk shape including an upper surface 311, a lower surface 312 and a peripheral surface 313.
The peripheral surface 313 includes a large-diameter inclined surface portion 314 whose outer diameter increases from the upper surface 311 side toward the lower surface 312 side, and a small-diameter portion 315 having a uniform diameter formed on the lower surface 312 side.
And it has the annular level | step difference surface 316 formed by the outer diameter difference of the large diameter inclined surface part 314 and the small diameter part 315. FIG.

The storage cup 20 and the header 310 are fixed without being welded to each other.
The bottom portion 21 and part of the peripheral wall portion 22 (main body portion 23) of the storage cup and the header top surface 311 form an igniting agent filling chamber 30, and the inside is filled with an igniting agent (not shown). The ignition powder and the bridge wire 7 are in close contact with each other.
The remaining portion of the main body portion 23 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 314a of the large-diameter inclined surface portion 314.
The annular corner portion 26 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 315 a of the small diameter portion 315.
The first inclined surface portion 24 and the second inclined surface portion 25 of the storage cup are not in contact with the header 310.
The inner diameter (D1) of the main body 23 of the housing cup peripheral wall portion, the inner diameter (D2) of the annular corner portion 26, and the inner diameter (D3) of the housing cup opening satisfy the relationship D2 <D1 <D3.
The length (L1) of the first inclined surface portion 24 and the length (L2) of the second inclined surface portion 25 satisfy L2> L1, and L2 / L1 = about 1.5.

In operation, the bridge wire 7 is heated by energization, and the ignition agent is ignited.
The combustion product generated by ignition of the ignition powder destroys the bottom surface portion 21 of the storage cup 20 (the portion including the fragile portion when there is a fragile portion), and releases a combustion product such as a flame. At this time, the bottom surface portion 21 and the main body portion 23 adjacent thereto may be destroyed.
Then, a force in the direction of the central axis X is applied to the bottom surface portion 21 of the storage cup 20.
Although the header 310 and the housing cup 20 are not fixed to each other by welding, in the igniter assembly 300 of FIG. 4, the housing cup 20 and the header 210 are in close contact with each other, and the relationship of D2 <D1 is satisfied. Since the periphery is covered with the resin portion 35 and the second inclined surface portion 25 is not easily deformed to the outside, the housing cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X.

More specifically, even when the storage cup 20 is about to move in the central axis X direction, the annular corner portion 26 is caught by the annular step surface 316 and the second inclined surface portion 25 is covered from the outside. The resin portion 35 is not broken or melted, and suppresses the second inclined surface portion from being deformed outward.
Therefore, the storage cup 20 is prevented from falling off in the direction of the central axis X due to the drop-off preventing effect due to the second inclined surface portion 25 itself being held by the resin portion 35.
If the relationship of L2> L1 is satisfied, the force that suppresses the deformation of the second inclined surface portion 25 by the resin portion 35 becomes larger than the force with which the header 10 comes out of the receiving cup 20, and the second inclined surface portion 25 is increased. This is preferable because the effect of preventing dropout is enhanced.

  The igniter assembly 300 shown in FIG. 4 can be manufactured through the dosing process, the header temporary press-fitting process, and the molding process shown in FIGS. .

(5) Igniter assembly of FIG. 5 The igniter assembly 400 of FIG. 5 is the same as the igniter assembly 1 of FIG. 1 except that the shape of the receiving cup is different. The same thing is used.

A stainless steel accommodation cup 420 is attached to the header 10.
The storage cup 420 includes a bottom surface portion 421 and a peripheral wall portion 422.
The thickness of the bottom surface portion 421 is adjusted in the range of 0.2 to 0.35 mm, and the thickness of the peripheral wall portion 422 is adjusted in the range of 0.15 to 0.25 mm.
A circular thin portion having a thickness of about 0.05 to 0.11 mm is formed at the center of the bottom surface portion 421 as a weak portion.

The peripheral wall part 422 has an outer peripheral wall part 423 having a uniform inner diameter, an inner peripheral wall part 424 whose inner side is bent inward, and has a folded part 425.
In FIG. 5, a gap is formed between the outer peripheral wall portion 423 and the inner peripheral wall portion 424, but a part or all of the outer peripheral wall portion 423 and the inner peripheral wall portion 424 may be in contact with each other. Moreover, the inner diameter of the inner peripheral wall portion 424 is smaller than the inner diameter of the outer peripheral wall portion 423.

The storage cup 420 and the header 10 are fixed without being welded to each other.
An igniting agent filling chamber 30 is formed by the bottom surface portion 421 and a part of the outer peripheral wall portion 423 of the storage cup and the header upper surface 11, and is filled with an igniting agent (not shown). The ignition powder and the bridge wire 7 are in close contact with each other.
The remaining portion of the outer peripheral wall portion 423 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 14 a of the header large-diameter portion 14.
The inner peripheral wall portion 424 of the storage cup is in contact with the peripheral surface 15 a of the header small diameter portion 15.
Further, the tip peripheral edge 424 a of the inner peripheral wall 424 of the storage cup is in contact with the annular step surface 16. The storage cup 420 is restricted by an elastic metal.
Therefore, when the accommodation cup 420 is attached to the header 10, the peripheral wall portion 422 includes the inner peripheral wall portion 424 and tightens the peripheral surface 13 of the header 10 from the outside.

Furthermore, since the igniter main body portion is covered with the resin portion 35 except for a part of the conductive pin 5, the contact portion between the accommodation cup 420 and the header 10 is pressed from the outside and brought into close contact with the igniter main body portion. It has become.
For this reason, since the ignition agent filling chamber 30 is maintained in an airtight state, the ignition agent is not adversely affected by moisture.

Next, the operation of the igniter assembly of FIG. 5 will be described.
In operation, the bridge wire 7 is heated by energization, and the ignition agent is ignited.
The combustion product generated by ignition of the igniting agent destroys the bottom surface portion 21 of the storage cup 420 (the portion including the fragile portion when there is a fragile portion), and releases a combustion product such as a flame. At this time, the bottom surface portion 421 and the outer peripheral wall portion 423 adjacent thereto may be destroyed.
A force in the central axis X direction is applied to the bottom portion 421 of the storage cup 420. Although the header 10 and the receiving cup 420 are not fixed to each other by welding, in the igniter assembly 400 of FIG. 5, even when the receiving cup 420 is about to move in the central axis X direction, the distal end peripheral portion 424a is annular. Due to the drop-off preventing effect due to the contact with the stepped surface 16, the receiving cup 420 is prevented from dropping in the direction of the central axis X.

(6) Igniter assembly of FIG. 7 The igniter assembly of FIGS. 7 (a) to 7 (c) has different igniter specifications, for example, different amounts and types of igniting agents, different parts, and different dimensions. Etc. can be recognized visually or by touch.
A description will be given using the igniter assembly of FIG.
The igniter assembly 1 in FIG. 7A is obtained by removing the resin portion 35 covering the accommodation cup bottom surface portion 21 so that one circle is formed.
FIG. 7B shows the resin portion 35 covering the receiving cup bottom surface portion 21 removed so that three circles are formed.
FIG.7 (c) removes the resin part 35 which has covered the accommodation cup bottom face part 21 so that one square may be formed.
In addition, by removing the resin portion 35 covering the receiving cup bottom surface portion 21 to a desired shape and the desired number such as a triangle, a rhombus, an oval, etc., the difference in the specifications of the igniter can be easily and reliably confirmed visually or by touch. Become able to recognize.
Instead of removing the resin, a method of partially thinning the resin may be used.
