Description

Locomotive protection system and method

The invention relates to a locomotive protection system and method, in particular to a method which is not only simple and convenient to use, but also provides an excellent safety protection for the knight when needed by using automatic detection, so that the knight can ride the locomotive. An innovative designer of locomotive protection systems and methods that have better driving safety and are more practical and functional in their overall implementation.

According to the locomotive, the locomotive can greatly shorten the time spent by people and various items between the two places, and can improve the convenience of people in daily life and the transportation of various goods. It can be said that it is one of the necessary items in the daily life of every household, and Locomotives have various advantages such as lower price, small size and less space, making locomotives a more popular product, and the number is far more than that of automobiles. With the popularization of locomotives, various locomotive traffic accidents are also emerging. Although the law states that riding locomotives need to wear helmets, the helmets can only protect the knight's head. The protection effect is still very limited and cannot be obtained by the knight. Comprehensive protection of the whole body.

Therefore, the manufacturer has developed the "Motorcycle Cavity Airbag" No. 386362, which was announced on April 1, 1989, which includes: a garment with an airbag bag inside; the airbag bag has a surface running through it. The inner plug hole is for fitting a tube member whose tail end is exposed on the surface of the airbag bag; the tube member is internally provided with a striker and a compression spring, the tail end is provided with a perforation, and the head end is provided with a screw hole for locking a compressed gas. The side surface of the bottle is provided with an air hole penetrating through the inner portion; the striker pin is pivoted at the center of the compression spring, and the compression spring is compressed so that the tail end of the striker protrudes from the perforation of the tail end of the pipe member, and is inserted into the tail end by a pin The preset pin hole is formed and fixed; 俾 is designed according to the above structure, when the pin is pulled away, the pin end of the needle pierces the sealing film of the compressed gas bottle immediately, so that the compressed air bursts and flows through the air hole of the pipe surface to the air bag. Internally, the inside of the airbag bag is inflated and inflated instantaneously, and thus has an effect of cushioning an external force.

In addition, please refer to the "Knight Bodyguard Airbag" No. 450032 published on August 11, 1990, which is mainly attached to a group of airbags that are dressed or separately formed for the rider to wear, and a joint is provided at a suitable position. The joint is provided with a venting valve, and the venting valve is provided with a striker. One end of the venting valve is screwed with a compressed gas cylinder, and the other end is provided with a solenoid valve or other striking mechanism for pushing the striker, and an electronic excitation is provided. The device utilizes the principle of electronic virtual cable to generate a voltage touch striking mechanism by means of TX (transmitting) and RX (receiving). Once the knight has a crash, the electronic exciting device can be used to activate the electromagnetic valve to cause the striker to puncture the striking The sealing of the compressed gas cylinder causes the air in the compressed gas cylinder to rapidly enter the airbag, and the airbag is inflated instantaneously to form an air cushion to protect the body of the knight.

In addition, please refer to Announcement No. 483334 of April 11, 1991, "Inflatable and Separating Device for Cavalier Body Airbag", which is connected by a joint to the inside of the airbag, which is connected to the inflator, and the inflator is screwed at one end. The compressed gas cylinder is internally provided with a striker facing the compressed gas cylinder, and the other end is provided with a striker for pushing the striker and having a handle, and more than one hole is provided at the joint with the pull handle, and the pull is further The end of the handle is connected with a separating device, and is characterized in that: one end of the inflating device is connected with a venting plate with two or more vent holes, and the sealing between the sealing of the compressed gas bottle and the venting plate is preset. There is a deflated space, and the striker has several grooves on the side of the tip end, and a stagnation ring is arranged at the end, so that the gas in the compressed gas cylinder can be punctured by the striker at the first stroke of the seal, and the striker is from the first time. The second time when the seal is returned, the airbag is inflated at the same time; another plurality of corresponding holes are formed on the handle of the striker, and the bumps corresponding to each other are embedded, which are used for segmentation insurance and pulling Adjustment of those pounds.

However, the above-mentioned "Motorcycle Cavity Airbag", "Knight's Body Airbag" or "Knight's Body Airbag Inflator and Separation Device" can achieve the expected effect of protecting the body of the locomotive knight, but it is also practical. It has been found that the device is worn by the knight on the body, so that each ride of the locomotive needs to be worn and removed, and the device has a certain weight, which is inconvenient, uncomfortable and different in use. The knights of the body shape need to prepare corresponding devices that conform to their body shape, which also causes an increase in the cost of use, so that there is still room for improvement in the overall structural design.

The reason is that the inventor has been rich in design and development and practical production experience of the relevant industry for many years, and has researched and improved the existing structure to provide a locomotive protection system and method for the purpose of achieving better practical value.

The main object of the present invention is to provide a locomotive protection system and method, which are mainly not only simple and convenient to use, but also utilize automatic detection to provide excellent safety protection for the knight when needed, so that the knight can ride the locomotive.
