본 고안은 차량용 에어백에 관한 것으로, 운전자의 가슴과 머리뿐만 아니라, 무릎 및 다리까지 보호해 주는 운전자 전신 보호용 에어백 시스템(air bag system for protecting the whole body of driver)에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a vehicle airbag, and relates to an air bag system for protecting the whole body of driver that protects not only the driver's chest and head, but also the knees and legs.
차량용 에어 백 시스템(air bag system)은 차량의 충돌시 운전자와 스티어링 휠 사이, 또는 조수석의 승객과 대시 보드(dash board) 사이에 장착시켜 충돌 순간 40/1000초 이내에 에어 백을 팽창하게 하여, 탑승자의 부상을 최소한으로 멈추게 하는 장치이다. 이러한 장치는 운전자가 시트 벨트를 장착하고 있지 않다고 생각하여 대형 에어 백을 사용하는 시스템과, 3점식 벨트를 장착했을 경우를 고려하여 제작한 약간 소형이면서 안면 보호를 목적으로 한 에어 백 시스템의 2 종류가 있다.A vehicle air bag system is mounted between the driver and the steering wheel in the event of a vehicle crash, or between the passenger and the dash board of the passenger seat to inflate the airbag within 40/1000 seconds of the crash, It is the device to stop the injury to the minimum. These devices are two types of systems that use a large air bag because the driver does not have a seat belt, and a slightly smaller, face-protected air bag system designed for the case of wearing a three-point belt. There is.
그리고, 상기한 에어 백을 팽창하게 하는 방식에는 차량 충돌시의 충격을 센서에 의하여 전기로 감지하고, 인플레이터(inflater)에 통전(通電) 착화하는 전기식과, 감지 장치가 충돌을 감지하고 격침(擊針)에 점화제를 변화시키는 기계식이 있다.In addition, the air bag is inflated in such a manner that electric shock is sensed by a sensor in a vehicle collision, and an electric ignition is applied to an inflater, and a sensing device detects a collision and sinks (擊).針) There is a mechanical type to change the ignition agent.
본 고안은 상기한 에어 백이 운전석의 스티어링 휠이나 조수석에 장착된 어떠한 차량에도 적용이 되며, 이러한 차량에 있어서 정면 충돌시에는 스티어링 휠에 장착된 에어 백은 순각적으로 전개되어 운전자의 머리와 가슴의 상해치를 최대한 경감시킨다.The present invention is applied to any vehicle mounted on the steering wheel or the passenger seat of the driver's seat, in the case of a frontal collision in such a vehicle, the airbag mounted on the steering wheel is inflated to the driver's head and chest. Reduce injuries as much as possible.
그러나, 운전자의 다리와 무릎의 보호 장치는 따로 제공되지 않아 무릎이나 다리는 대시 보드 하부나 기타 주변의 부품과 충돌되어 예상치 못한 부상이 가중되는 경우가 종종 발생된다.However, the driver's leg and knee protection devices are not provided separately, so that the knee or leg collides with the underside of the dashboard or other surrounding components, which often results in unexpected injuries.
따라서, 본 고안은 상기와 같이 종래 기술에 내재되었던 문제점을 해결하고자 창안된 것으로, 본 고안의 목적은 대시 보드 하단 페달 전방부의 패널에 무릎 보호용 에어 백을 추가로 내장시키므로써, 차량 충돌시 운전자의 전신을 보호해 주는 운전자 전신 보호용 에어 백 시스템을 제공하는데 있다.Accordingly, the present invention was devised to solve the problems inherent in the prior art as described above, and an object of the present invention is to additionally incorporate a knee protection air bag in the panel of the pedal front of the lower panel of the dashboard, thereby preventing the driver's collision. The present invention provides an airbag system for protecting the whole body of the driver.
본 고안에 따른 에어 백 시스템으로 상기 목적은 쉽게 달성되며, 본 고안에 따른 운전자 전신 보호용 에어 백 시스템은, 스티어링 휠에 장착되는 가슴 보호용 에어 백과 ; 대시 보드 하단 페달 전방부의 패널에 내장되는 무릎 보호용 에어 백과 ; 상기 가슴 보호용 에어 백과 상기 무릎 보호용 에어 백을 동시에 작동시키도록 연결된 ECU(Electronic control unite) ; 및 상기 ECU에 연결되고, 차량의 펌퍼에 장착된 감지 센서로 이루어지는 것을 특징으로 한다.The above object is easily achieved by the airbag system according to the present invention, and the driver's whole body protection airbag system according to the present invention includes a chest protection airbag mounted to a steering wheel; A knee-protecting air bag built into the panel at the front of the pedal lower pedal; An electronic control unit (ECU) connected to simultaneously operate the chest protection air bag and the knee protection air bag; And a sensing sensor connected to the ECU and mounted to a pump of the vehicle.
