Description
The present invention relates to a passenger seat airbag device, and more particularly, to a passenger seat airbag device in which the gas discharge amount of the airbag cushion is adjusted according to the size of the airbag cushion is inflated.
BACKGROUND ART In general, an automobile is provided with an airbag device, which is a safety device that protects a passenger by inflating an airbag cushion by receiving gas from an inflator during an automobile accident.
Such an airbag device is installed in each part of the vehicle as needed, and the driver's seat airbag device mounted on the steering wheel to protect the driver sitting in the driver's seat, and the glove box mounted above the glove box to protect the passenger sitting in the passenger's seat. A passenger airbag device and a curtain airbag device mounted along the roof rail to protect the side of the occupant have been proposed.
Among them, the passenger seat airbag device is configured to include an inflator for generating gas and an airbag cushion connected to the inflator to protect the passenger sitting in the passenger seat by expanding and expanding when gas is introduced.
The airbag cushion is provided with a vent hole through which gas is discharged so that the gas is discharged through the vent hole when the airbag cushion is initially inflated. That is, when the passenger is sitting in the passenger seat in front of the passenger seat without sitting in the normal position, or when the passenger seat is pulled forward (called OOP; Out Of Position in the art), the distance between the airbag cushion and the passenger is excessive. And because the passenger is likely to be injured by the deployment pressure of the airbag cushion when the airbag cushion is deployed, causing the passenger sitting in the passenger seat to excessively deploy the airbag cushion by causing gas to be discharged through the vent hole. It is to prevent injuries by.
However, such a passenger seat airbag device may lower the initial deployment pressure of the airbag cushion by discharging the initial gas through the vent hole, but because too much gas is discharged, when the passenger sits in the passenger seat in the normal position, the airbag cushion There is a problem that does not develop at the proper pressure at this intended time.
Therefore, the gas is discharged at the initial stage of deployment of the airbag cushion to lower the initial deployment pressure, and after the airbag cushion is inflated to a certain size, the gas is blocked so that the airbag cushion protects passengers who are seated in the passenger seat. There is a need for a passenger seat airbag device that can be deployed at an appropriate pressure to achieve this.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to discharge the gas at the initial stage when the airbag cushion is deployed to suppress the deployment pressure, and after the airbag cushion is inflated to a certain size to stop the gas discharge to be deployed at the proper pressure It is to provide an airbag device.
The problems of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
In order to achieve the above object, the passenger seat airbag device according to an embodiment of the present invention, the airbag cushion is formed when the gas is inflated and the vented gas is discharged is discharged, coupled to the airbag cushion and the vent hole and A guide panel having a first communication hole communicating therewith, a shielding panel disposed between the airbag cushion and the guide panel and having a second communication hole communicating with the vent hole and the first communication hole, and the airbag cushion and the shielding panel. And a tether which is coupled to rotate the shielding panel as the airbag cushion is inflated so that the second communication hole does not communicate with the vent hole and the first communication hole.
Specific details of other embodiments are included in the detailed description and drawings.
In the passenger seat airbag apparatus according to the present invention, since the vent hole of the airbag cushion is in communication with the first communication hole of the shielding panel at the initial stage when the airbag cushion is deployed, the gas is discharged through the vent hole to initialize the airbag cushion. Deployment force can be suppressed, and as the airbag cushion is inflated, the shielding panel is rotated by a tether so that the vent hole and the first communication hole do not communicate with each other, so that the gas discharged through the vent hole is blocked so that the air bag is blocked. There is an effect that the cushion can be deployed at an appropriate pressure.
The effects of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned effects, and other effects that are not mentioned will be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the description of the claims.
