(Prior Art) Conventionally, a collision of a vehicle is detected by an impact detection sensor, and gas is generated or compressed gas is supplied according to the output of the sensor to inflate an airbag provided on the front of the occupant. An airbag device designed to protect an occupant by doing so is known. In such an airbag device, the impact detection sensor has a structure (roller-mite method) as shown in FIG. 3, for example.

That is, the impact detection sensor is composed of an underframe 1, a roller 2, a plate spring 3,
The underframe 1 has stoppers 102 to 104 for restricting the movement of the roller 2. The roller 2 is arranged so that the traveling direction a of the vehicle on which the impact detection sensor is mounted and the axis thereof are It has a mass that is arranged orthogonally and exhibits the required inertial force. The plate-shaped spring 3 has one end fixed to the frame 1 at a part 101 of the frame 1, the other end fixed to the roller 2, wound around the roller 2, and
Has a through-hole portion 301 in the central portion thereof in contact with. The contact switch 4 is attached to the underframe 1 so as to face the through hole 301 of the plate spring 3 and has a portion protruding from the through hole 301 toward the roller 2. When the impact sensor detects a collision of the vehicle, the roller 2 moves in the direction of arrow a while rotating in the direction of arrow b due to the inertia force and the action of the plate spring 3 wound around the roller 2 to move the contact switch 4. The projection is pressed so that the contact switch 4 is closed.

In the shock detection sensor, the response time from when the inertia force is applied to the roller 2 due to the collision of the vehicle until the contact switch 4 is actually closed depends on the traveling speed immediately before the collision of the vehicle. In other words, there is a correlation that the response time generally decreases as the traveling speed immediately before the collision of the vehicle increases. For example, when the traveling speed immediately before the collision of the vehicle is 10 km / h, the response time is 10 msec, whereas when the traveling speed is 100 km / h, the response time is 1 msec.

Due to this correlation, the airbag inflates after a relatively long time has elapsed from the time of the collision, while the occupant moves forward due to the collision when the vehicle is traveling at a relatively low speed, while the occupant moves forward due to the collision. When the vehicle is traveling at a relatively high speed, the airbag is inflated a short time later, so that the occupant is protected by the airbag when the airbag reaches a substantially proper inflated state.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the impact detection sensor shown in the above-mentioned prior art, the characteristics of the plate-like spring constituting the sensor are changed according to the traveling speed immediately before the collision of the vehicle, and in a wide range. It has been relatively difficult to set such that the ideal and appropriate operation of the airbag can be performed according to the speed.

The above problem is caused not only by the roller-mite-type impact detection sensor described above as an example, but also by a mass body that moves by an inertial force against a force such as a spring force or a magnetic force, thereby closing the switch. All of these problems occur in the airbag device using the type of impact detection sensor.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an overall configuration of an operation control device for an occupant protection device according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 11 denotes a G sensor (not shown) provided in a front engine room of a vehicle equipped with the device. Impact detection means). The G sensor is composed of a mass for exerting a required inertial force and a piezoelectric element generating an electromotive force according to the pressure of the mass, and the magnitude of the applied impact (impact force or acceleration) is reduced. It outputs a corresponding continuous voltage value. The output terminal of the G sensor 11 is connected to one input terminal of a comparator 13 via a waveform shaping circuit 12, and the output terminal of the comparator 13 is connected to a drive circuit 14. Another input terminal of the comparator 13 is connected to an output terminal of a vehicle speed sensor (speed detecting means) 15 for detecting a traveling speed of the vehicle via a threshold setting circuit 16. The output terminal of the drive circuit 14 is connected to the gate of a field effect transistor (FET) 141. The drain of the FET 141 is grounded, and the source is connected to an electric ignition heater for deploying an airbag, that is, an electric detonator 17.

The impact detection sensor 18 is provided to prevent a malfunction in which the FET 141 conducts and inflates the airbag when not needed. Further, the time during which the impact due to the collision of the vehicle reaches the interior of the vehicle is longer than the time when the impact reaches the front engine room provided with the G sensor 11, and the impact force transmitted to the interior of the vehicle is reduced by the impact of the body of the vehicle during the collision. Shock detection sensor 18 used in the vehicle cabin because it is alleviated by deformation etc.
Is set relatively high as described later. That is, the sensitivity of the sensor 18 depends on the action of the G sensor 11, the waveform shaping circuit 12, the comparator 13, the drive circuit 14, the vehicle speed sensor 15, and the threshold setting circuit 16 when the FET 141 is turned on, as described later. 11
The sensor 18 operates with an impact force (for example, 2.3 G) lower than the impact force (for example, 12.3 G or more) at the position in the vehicle compartment provided with the timing when the FET 141 is energized by the circuits 11 to 16 ( The sensor 18 is set to close at a time that is not later than any of the following (which becomes faster as the vehicle speed immediately before the collision increases as will be described later).

The magnitude (impact or acceleration) of the impact at the position of the front engine room is detected by the G sensor 11, and the detected voltage value is supplied to the comparator 13 after removing the noise and the like by the waveform shaping circuit 12 [second. G in FIG. On the other hand, the traveling speed v of the vehicle is detected by the vehicle speed sensor 15 (FIG. 2A), and the detected value is input to the threshold setting circuit 16. Threshold setting circuit 16
Inverts the change direction of the amplitude of the input signal (that is, decreases when the amplitude of the input signal increases) and delays the output voltage (threshold) V TH by a predetermined time (for example, 5 to 10 msec) to the comparator 13 [V in Fig. 2 (b)
TH ]. The comparator 13 compares the two input voltages G and VTH , and outputs a high-level output only when G exceeds VTH.
4 [FIG. 2 (c)]. That is, the threshold setting circuit 16 in the threshold V TH, but the vehicle speed decreases abruptly at the time of collision of the vehicle
Since the output timing from the vehicle is delayed by a predetermined time from the input timing of the vehicle speed v to the circuit 16, a threshold value set based on the vehicle speed v a predetermined time before the time of the collision of the vehicle (to). V TH is compared with the rapidly increasing impact force G, and the threshold V TH decreases as the vehicle speed v increases, so that the higher the vehicle speed v immediately before the vehicle collision, the higher the threshold V
The high level output [FIG. 2 (c)] is generated early when the TH is low, while the threshold VTH is high when the vehicle speed v is low, and thus the high level output is generated late.

When a high level output is supplied from the comparator 13, the drive circuit 14 conducts the FET 141. As described above, regardless of the vehicle speed immediately before the collision, the sensitivity of the impact detection sensor 18 provided in the vehicle cabin is set so that the sensor 18 is conductive until the FET 141 is conductive regardless of the vehicle speed. At the same time, current flows through the electric detonator 17 and the airbag is inflated.
The impact detection sensor 18 is for preventing a current from flowing to the electric detonator 17 when the circuits 11 to 16 malfunction and the FET 141 is turned on as described above.
