Description
The present invention relates to an apparatus for testing a deployment force of a curtain airbag for a vehicle,
More specifically, at least one load cell is fixedly disposed on an outer side surface of a vehicle using a mount capable of adjusting and fixing the position, and the inflating force of the curtain airbag deployed inside the vehicle due to a vehicle collision is applied And the load is transmitted to the load cell along a connection rod disposed through the vehicle body portion, thereby testing the deployment force of the curtain airbag for a vehicle using the load cell.
BACKGROUND ART [0002] Generally, an air bag applied to a vehicle is a technique applied to secure the driver's safety in the event of a vehicle collision, including a sensor recognizing the collision and an air bag module expanding in the event of a collision. The airbag module is configured such that when a collision is detected by the sensor, the working gas device is exploded and the bag of the airbag module is instantaneously expanded (short time of about 50/1000 seconds) do.
On the other hand, in recent years, in order to further improve the stability of the vehicle, the application range of the airbag is gradually widening. In the past, a curtain airbag applied to the side portion was applied in order to protect the occupant from a side impact, and thus, a wider range of passenger protection was provided.
However, there has been a side effect that the airbag of the vehicle may cause injury to the occupant due to excessive deployment, or depending on the position of the occupant who is the object of protection of the airbag, in the event of rapid deployment.
This side effect is seen in the front airbags, but more particularly in curtain airbags deployed on the side of the occupant. That is, the curtain airbag is disposed closer to the occupant than the front airbag, and the curtain airbag deploying force must be adjusted more precisely to prevent a secondary injury that may be caused thereby.
Further, since the curtain airbag needs to cover the entire side surface of the occupant when a side collision occurs, the curtain airbag should be installed so as to cover a wider area than the front airbag. When the area covered by the airbag is widened, ≪ / RTI > or required).
Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a precise test process is performed before the airbag is mounted on the vehicle.
1 shows an apparatus of an embodiment for performing a conventional airbag deployment test.
As shown, the conventional airbag deployment test tested airbag deployment by testing collisions with dummies caused by deployment of the airbag during deployment of the airbag using a dummy and a high-speed camera. However, as described above, the method of testing the development using the dummy has a disadvantage in that a lot of testing costs are incurred because the dummy that generates a large cost is used and the dummy is maintained at every test.
As another conventional technique for testing the airbag deploying force, a method of testing the deploying force at the deployment of the airbag by virtue of computer simulation has been used, but this method has limitations in considering all factors that can be applied in actual situations And it was not possible to predict an unexpected situation occurring in a real situation, and it was a problem in terms of accuracy.
Accordingly, there has been a demand for developing an airbag deployment force test means capable of solving the problems of the prior art described above.
The present invention has been made to solve the above problems,
The present invention aims at solving the problem of the conventional technology of testing a deployment force of a curtain airbag for a vehicle by using a dummy, that is, solving the problem of high cost and low efficiency and low reliability.

Here, the outer mount may include an upper mount coupled to the load cell; And a side mount coupled to the upper mount and fixing the upper mount to an outer surface of the vehicle body.
The upper mount may be a flat plate having both ends folded downward. The side mount may be a pair of component elements having a flat plate shape in which one end of the upper mount is bent upward, And the other end of the side mount is fixedly coupled to the vehicle body to fix the upper mount to the vehicle body.
One of the upper mount and the side mount includes at least one slot hole arranged in the vertical direction, and the other of the upper mount and the lower mount is connected to the fastening means And the upper mount is moved up and down to be adjustable in position.
In another embodiment, the width of the slot-like slot is larger than the diameter of the fastening means, so that the upper mount is configured to be laterally moved and adjustable in position.
The load transfer unit may include: a mount hole to which the load applying unit is coupled at one end; And
And a connecting rod which is arranged to penetrate the vehicle body, one end of which is coupled to the mount hole and the other end of which is coupled to the load cell.
In addition, the mount hole has a detachable structure for detachably attaching the load applying portion to one end thereof.
Further, the connection rod and the mount hole are integrally formed.
Meanwhile, the load cell has a coupling hole formed in a central portion thereof in a vertical direction, and the other end of the coupling rod is inserted and coupled into the coupling hole.
A thread is formed on an inner surface of the coupling hole of the load cell and a thread corresponding to a thread of the coupling hole is formed on the outer surface of the other end of the coupling rod. do.
At this time, the connection rod is disposed perpendicularly to the body surface of the vehicle body.
Finally, the load cell separately detects and outputs the loads in the x, y and z axial directions.
The present invention provides the following characteristic advantages through the above-described configuration.
1) The load cell is disposed on the outer surface of the vehicle body, and the load due to the airbag deployment force is transmitted through the connecting rod to measure the load, so that the load due to the collision can be separately measured at the desired position in the curtain airbag deployed in the vehicle interior. Therefore, it is possible to accurately measure the load due to the deployment of the curtain airbag, thereby providing an advantage that reliability verification of the vehicle configuration can be facilitated.
2) Due to the structure in which the load cell is disposed outside the vehicle, the curtain airbag of the vehicle is not affected by the deployment force generated by the deployment of the curtain airbag into the vehicle interior. In other words, , Which provides the advantage of increasing the accuracy of the measurement results when the load cell is moved.
3) The top mount and the side mount can be moved up and down, and furthermore, configured to be movable laterally, thereby providing a merit of increasing the convenience of mounting by enabling fine positioning during mounting.
