Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In general, a vehicle is provided with various safety devices for the safety of the passenger, and one of them includes an airbag that inflate between the vehicle structure and the passenger during a car collision to protect the passenger.
These airbags are deployed during a car crash to protect passengers, but there is no problem for adults, but infants are likely to act as a life-threatening hazard.
Therefore, in each country, there are regulations for the actual safety evaluation of passengers in the rear seats according to the deployment of airbags.In order to satisfy these regulations, passengers are installed in the rear seats to classify passengers seated in the seats as infants or adults. Thus, the deployment and deployment conditions of the airbag are different.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a passenger classification apparatus capable of distinguishing a plurality of passengers.
The passenger classification apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problems, the second electrode to form a first electric field between the first electrode and the first object to which the first object occupying the sheet between the first electrode. The first electrode by using an electrode, a third electrode forming a second electric field to which the second object occupying the sheet is exposed between the first electrode, and a value output according to the change of the first electric field; And a control device for classifying objects and classifying the second objects using values output according to the change of the second electric field.
Passenger separator according to the present invention, electrically connecting the first electrode, the second electrode and the third electrode with one control device, occupies the sheet in the first electric field formed between the first electrode and the second electrode. The first object to be exposed is exposed, and the second object occupying the sheet is exposed to a second electric field formed between the first electrode and the third electrode, so that a value outputted according to the change of the first electric field is determined. The control device distinguishes the first object by using the control device, and the control device distinguishes the second object by using a value output according to the change of the second electric field, so that a plurality of passengers can sit on the seat ( For example, when the passenger classification apparatus according to the present invention is applied to a rear seat of a passenger car, there is an effect of distinguishing a plurality of passengers.

Meanwhile, the first current value varies according to the change in the first electric field, and the second current value varies in accordance with the change in the second electric field. That is, the first current value has different values according to the permittivity of the first object exposed to the first electric field, and the second current according to the permittivity of the second object exposed to the second electric field. Current values have different values.
Typically, the dielectric constant of air is about 1, the dielectric constant of water is 80, the dielectric constant of moisture (gas) is 1, the dielectric constant of ice is 100, and the dielectric constant of plastics is 2 to 3, each having a different value. Therefore, as can be seen in
