Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of an airbag device for a saddle-ride type vehicle.

  2. Description of the Related Art An airbag device for a saddle type vehicle that is provided in front of an occupant seat and inflates and deploys when the vehicle receives a predetermined impact is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (FIG. 4)). .

  In FIG. 4 of Patent Document 1, inflator 22 and 22 (symbols are diverted from the same publication, the same applies hereinafter) that generate gas for inflating the airbag are arranged in the holding box 16 side by side. The two inflators 22 and 22 are the same size and generate the same amount of gas. Since the airbag device is provided with two inflators, it is possible to easily secure an amount of gas necessary for deploying the airbag.

  By the way, when considering the productivity and product lineup, the inflator is, for example, a model with a gas generation rate of 80% as a small model and a model with a rate of 120% as a large model when the gas generation rate of the standard model is 100%. Inflator is manufactured in steps. A lineup of products from small models to large models.

When a request to increase the amount of gas generated is made, the two standard models are changed to two large models. This increases the gas generation amount by a factor of 1.2. That is, since the two inflators are exchanged at the same time, the amount of gas generated varies greatly.
When there is a demand for increasing the gas generation amount by 0.9 times or 1.1 times, it is necessary to newly manufacture 90% models or 110% models, which increases costs. It is preferable if detailed settings can be made with existing models.

That is, a lid stay 161 for attaching the link mechanisms 151 and 152 to the lid 141 is integrally provided on the left and right. Since the lid 141 is integrally provided with the left and right lid stays (left and right vertical arms 171 and 172), the impact received from the link mechanisms 151 and 152 when the lid 141 is released can be received evenly by the lid 141. it can.

Next, the operation of the airbag device for the saddle riding type vehicle described above will be described.
In FIG. 7A, the holding box 121 is covered with a lid 141. A link mechanism 151 serving as a lid regulating means is provided between the lid 141 and the holding box 121. The link mechanism provided on the opposite side operates in the same manner as the link mechanism 151, and will not be described.

  FIG. 7B shows a state in which the lid 141 is opened as the airbag 150 is deployed, and the first link 166 and the second link 168 constituting the link mechanism 151 extend in a straight line.

  If the link mechanism 151 as the lid regulating means is not provided between the holding box 121 and the lid 141 and the opening angle of the lid 141 is not regulated, it is difficult for the airbag 150 to be regulated upward.

  In this regard, the present invention includes link mechanisms 151 and 152 as lid regulating means. By restricting the opening angle of the lid 141 to θ1, when the airbag 150 is inflated, it is possible to restrict the airbag 150 from being expanded upward and to be deployed forward of the occupant. The airbag 150 is deployed at a preferred position by being deployed forward while restricting the upward deployment of the airbag 150.

  In the figure, θ1 is an opening angle of the lid 141 with respect to the bottom plate 122 when the hinge portion 158 is used as an axis. In the present embodiment, θ1 is set to 70 °. This θ1 is also the opening angle of the lid 141 in the airbag module 82. The value of θ1 is a value that can be changed without being limited to 70 °.

  Since the link mechanism 151 is provided as the lid regulating means, the link 166 extends linearly when the lid 141 is opened. The link 166 extends linearly, and the airbag 150 is guided by the linearly extending link 166, and the airbag 150 is difficult to expand outside the link 166. Therefore, the deployment direction of the airbag 150 is directed to a necessary region. be able to.

  Furthermore, the lid stay 161 that is easily applied with force is made of metal, and the lid 141 that covers the upper side of the holding box 121 is made of resin, thereby reducing the weight of the apparatus while ensuring the strength required for the airbag module 82. be able to. Furthermore, if the lid 141 is made of resin, it is possible to easily provide a weakened portion (FIG. 4, reference numeral 147, reference numeral 148, FIG. 5, reference numeral 157) formed at the boundary portion between the lid 141 and the holding box 121. .

  In FIG. 8, the deployment angle of the lid 141 with respect to the road surface G is set so as not to exceed θ2 (= 90 °) in a state where the airbag module 82 is mounted on the motorcycle 10 which is a saddle-ride type vehicle. Has been. θ2 is an opening angle of the lid 141 in the vehicle, and the regulation direction of the airbag 150 when the occupant D gets on the vehicle is determined by the values of θ1 and θ2.

If the value of θ2, which is the lid deployment angle, is 90 ° or more, the airbag is deployed also behind the holding box.
In this regard, in the present invention, since the deployment angle of the lid 141 is set so as not to exceed 90 ° with respect to the road surface, the airbag 150 can be deployed from the front to the top of the holding box. With such an angle setting, the airbag 150 can be deployed forward and upward, particularly when the occupant moves forward.

  Returning to FIG. 4, the airbag control unit 87 is disposed between the head pipe 11 and the airbag module 82 in a vehicle side view. The airbag control unit 87 is provided with delay means (FIG. 9, reference numeral 189) for controlling the ignition timings of the left and right inflators 111 and 112 to be different from each other.

The left and right inflators 111 and 112 have different gas generation amounts.
Conventionally, in consideration of productivity and product lineup, an inflator has a gas generation rate of 100% as a standard model, for example, a model with a gas generation rate of 80% as a small model and a model with 120% as a large model Inflator is manufactured in steps. A lineup of products from small models to large models.

When a request to increase the amount of gas generated is made, the two standard models are changed to two large models. This increases the gas generation amount by a factor of 1.2. That is, since the two inflators are exchanged at the same time, the amount of gas generated varies greatly.
When there is a demand for increasing the gas generation amount by 0.9 times or 1.1 times, it is necessary to newly manufacture 90% models or 110% models, which increases costs. It is preferable if detailed settings can be made with existing models.

  In this regard, in the present invention, since the left and right inflators 111 and 112 having different gas generation amounts are used in combination, the gas generation amount can be set finely. Since the amount of gas generated can be set finely, a preferred amount of gas can be generated by combining inflators of different sizes in accordance with the vehicle type, the distance between the passenger and the airbag device, and the like. That is, the output can be set according to various types of straddle-type vehicles having different required characteristics.

  In the present embodiment, the left inflator 111 has a capacity (gas generation amount) approximately twice that of the right inflator 112. In this way, it is possible to meet various needs by combining two inflators having different amounts of gas generation in the product lineup.

  Conventionally, it is necessary to use an inflator with a large ignition output in order to inflate and deploy a saddle type vehicle airbag having a large capacity compared to an airbag for a four-wheel vehicle. In this case, a large output inflator requires a large space.

  In this regard, in the present invention, the left and right inflators 111 and 112 having different gas generation amounts are provided in the airbag device 86, so that the inflators 111 and 112 are arranged in a compact manner while ensuring the required ignition output. It becomes possible to do.

Next, a main configuration of the airbag device will be described.
In FIG. 9, the airbag device 86 includes a first sensor 77 provided on the upper portion of the front fork 52, a second sensor 78 provided on the lower portion of the front fork 52, and an airbag having a delay means 189 provided on the vehicle body frame 12. A control unit 87 and an airbag module 82 to which inflators 111 and 112 for deploying the airbag 150 are attached are provided.

Hereinafter, the operation of the airbag apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In the flowchart shown in FIG. 10, in ST01 (STXX indicates a step number; the same applies hereinafter), the impact received by the vehicle is detected by the first sensor 77 and the second sensor 78, and the vehicle receives The impact is calculated by the airbag control unit 87 provided on the vehicle body frame (FIG. 1, reference numeral 12) (ST02). In addition, whether or not the impact received by the vehicle is an impact that satisfies the condition that the airbag 150 should be deployed. (ST03).
If the impact satisfies the predetermined condition, the process proceeds to ST04. If the predetermined condition is not satisfied, the determination as to whether or not the impact received by the vehicle satisfies the condition that the airbag 150 should deploy is continued. .

Next, an operation instruction is given to the right inflator 112 (1st inflator 112) having the smaller gas generation amount (ST04), and the process waits for T1 seconds (ST05). In this embodiment, T1 = 10 milliseconds is set.
After instructing the first inflator 112 to operate, T1 seconds later, the left inflator 111 (2nd inflator 111) is instructed to operate (ST06), and a series of movements is completed.

Since the delay means 189 shifts the ignition timing difference (T1) between the left and right inflators 111 and 112 to be 10 milliseconds or more than 10 milliseconds, the air bag 150 is gradually expanded and deployed. Can be done. In addition, the deployment time of the airbag 150 can be extended.
The value of T1 can be set to an arbitrary value depending on the vehicle type, the position of the airbag module, and other factors.

The airbag control device 86 includes delay means 189 that controls the left and right inflators 111 and 112 so that they do not coincide with each other and have different ignition timings.
By using the airbag control device 86 having the delay means 189 in combination with the two left and right inflators 111 and 112 that are stored in the holding box 121 and set to have different ignition timings, various characteristics that are required are different. The deployment characteristics of the airbag 150 can be set in accordance with various types of saddle riding type vehicles.
In this embodiment, the number of inflators is two on the left and right, but may be three, four, etc. For example, the number of inflators can be arbitrarily set as long as it is a plurality of inflators.

As described above, in the present invention, of the left and right inflators 111 and 112, the right inflator 112 with the smaller gas generation amount is ignited first.
Since the right inflator 112 having the smaller gas generation amount is ignited first, when the airbag 150 is inflated and deployed, it is possible to reduce the impact at the portion that first contacts the occupant.
In addition to combining inflators of various sizes with the sizes of the left and right inflators 111 and 112, various inflation and deployment characteristics can be obtained by the airbag 150 by varying the ignition timing between the left and right inflators 111 and 112. Will be. Therefore, it is possible to obtain an airbag device 86 having inflatable deployment characteristics that meet various requirements.
For example, in a vehicle in which an air bag and an occupant are arranged apart from each other, when the left inflator 111 having the larger gas generation amount is fired first among the left and right inflators 111 and 112, The deployment speed of the airbag can be increased early in the deployment, and the airbag can be deployed quickly.

  Although the present invention is applied to a motorcycle in the embodiment, it can also be applied to a tricycle and can be applied to a general straddle-type vehicle.

  The present invention is suitable for a motorcycle equipped with an airbag device.
