Definitions

  • the present invention relates to thermal fuses which can be used, for example, in gas generators for motor vehicle safety systems.
  • Gas-generating mixtures used in gas generators for motor vehicle safety systems are generally very thermally stable.
  • thermal fuses are used to the gas-generating mixture at high ambient temperature, eg. B. in the event of a vehicle fire.
  • thermal fuses are used to prevent the gas-generating mixture from spontaneously igniting at extraordinarily high temperatures.
  • the gas-generating mixture would not burn off normally, but would accelerate and react violently due to the increased temperature, reacting explosively in unfavorable cases.
  • the generator housing is not designed for this accelerated, violent reaction and would be destroyed. This would result in a significant risk to vehicle occupants.
  • the thermal fuse ensures that the conversion of the gas-generating mixture is triggered thermally far below this critical temperature. In such a case, it prevents the destruction of the generator housing and the associated dangers through its early implementation and controlled ignition of the gas-generating mixture.
  • nitrocellulose or propellant powder derived therefrom is usually used as a thermal fuse.
  • the decisive disadvantage of nitrocellulose is that it begins to slowly decompose at temperatures which are not yet sufficient to ignite. In extreme cases, the nitrocellulose decomposes completely. It can then no longer fulfill its function as a thermal fuse. An attempt was made to improve the thermal stability
  • the object of the present invention was therefore to provide a thermal fuse which does not have the disadvantages of the thermal fuse based on nitrocellulose.
  • the thermal fuses according to the invention are able to ignite the gas-generating mixtures usually used in gas generators in a thermally controlled manner, well below the critical temperature.
  • thermal fuses Substances or mixtures of substances which have lower deflagration points or decomposition points than the actual gas-generating mixture can be used as thermal fuses according to the invention.
  • the absolute level of the deflagration points or decomposition points of the thermal fuses according to the invention depends on the particular construction and housing stability of the gas generator used. The more stable the generator housing, for example, the higher these values can generally be for the thermal fuse according to the invention.
  • Substances or mixtures of substances whose exothermic thermal decomposition takes place in a narrowly limited temperature range can be used for the thermal fuses according to the invention.
  • the resulting heat must be sufficient to compensate for energy losses in the gas-generating mixture in order to at least achieve or exceed the activation energy required to ignite the gas-generating mixture.
  • Compounds which are selected from the compound classes of oxalates, peroxodisulfates (persulfates), permanganates, nitrides, perborates, bismuthates, formates, nitrates, sulfamates, bromates or peroxides can be used as substances or as mixtures of substances for the thermal fuses according to the invention.
  • oxalates may preferably iron (II) oxalate dihydrate with a sharp decomposition point from 190 C C, ammonium iron (III) oxalate, a double salt of ammonium oxalate and iron oxalate with decomposition temperatures of 160-170 ° C, as peroxodisulfates (persulfates), preferably ammonium Sodium or potassium persulfates, the thermal decomposition of which is suitable to start the reaction, preferably sodium or potassium permanganate as permanganates, ammonium or calcium formate preferably as formates, ammonium nitrate preferably as nitrate, ammonium sulfamate preferably as sulfamate, iron nitride preferably as nitride, preferably sodium bismuthate as bismuthate, preferably potassium bromate as bromate, and zinc peroxide as peroxide.
  • Iron oxide and / or ferrocene can also be used.
  • oxidizable components for example explosives with low deflagration or decomposition points, preferably calcium bistetrazole-amine, 3-nitro-1, 2,4-triazole-5-one (NTO), 5-aminotetrazole nitrate, nitroguanidine (NIGU) ), Guanidine nitrate and bisstrazolamine can be used.
  • the substances can be used alone or in a mixture.
  • a certain thermal decomposition point of the thermal fuse according to the invention can be set by coordinating the mixture.
  • substances which have a lower deflagration point or decomposition point than the gas-generating mixture used and thereby decompose exothermically can be used alone, without the addition of, for example, a fuel, as a thermal fuse according to the invention.
  • the substances which have a lower deflagration point or decomposition point than the gas-generating mixture used, but decompose endothermically, require at least one fuel and, if appropriate, a reducing agent in order to be able to be used according to the invention as a thermal fuse.
  • the known explosives for example, can preferably be used as fuels
  • SPARE BLADE Calcium bistetrazole-amine, 3-nitro-1, 2,4-triazol-5-one (NTO), 5-aminotetrazole nitrate, nitroguanidine (NIGU)), guanidine nitrate and bistrazolamine, as reducing agents, for example metal powder, preferably titanium powder.
  • guanidine nitrate or also oxidizing agents such as potassium nitrate, sodium nitrate, strontium nitrate, potassium perchlorate or mixtures of these oxidizing agents can be added to the deflagration points and in addition to the substances already mentioned above thus influencing the effective range of the thermal fuse according to the invention.
  • the thermal fuses according to the invention can be used in various ways.
  • One application envisages incorporating them homogeneously into the gas-generating mixture.
  • the thermal fuses according to the invention are particularly suitable for this, which do not or only insignificantly impair the actual characteristic of the gas-generating mixture.
  • the homogeneous distribution can be carried out by mixing processes known per se, for example by sieving, tumbling or tumbling the dry mixture or by kneading, extruding or extruding a moistened or solvent-containing mixture.
  • the addition of a binder is also possible.
  • the thermal fuses according to the invention can make up 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight, of the gas-generating mixture.
  • thermal fuses according to the invention are preferably provided at thermally exposed points on the generator housing. That way
  • the supplements according to the invention can be used in the form of tablets, for example. Such tablets are produced by methods known per se.
  • thermal fuses according to the invention are distributed homogeneously in the ignition mixture or are separated therefrom, for example in the form of a tablet.
  • the purity of the substances used determines the time of thermal triggering, the grain size the locally released energy.
  • processing aids known per se for example talc, graphite or boron nitride, can be used.
  • thermal fuses according to the invention can also be used, for example, in pressure or security elements to trigger movements of mechanical elements.
  • the thermal fuses according to the invention are compatible with the gas-generating mixture and its components and, as intended, show a temperature and storage stability which is sufficient for the application and is considerably improved compared to nitrocellulose.
  • the problem of slow decomposition at higher storage temperatures, which can be observed with nitrocellulose, does not show thermal fuses according to the invention. A thermal change in the required storage and functional temperatures could not be determined.
  • the specified mixture components were homogenized in the specified weight ratios in screwable plastic containers in a tumble mixer for 30 minutes. If necessary, tableting and granulation were also carried out by breaking the compacts or, after adding a binder, shaping by kneading and subsequent extrusion.
  • the properties that can be initiated thermally were characterized by determining the deflagration point and the caloric behavior by recording thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis.
  • the deflagration point was determined by heating 100 or 300 mg of a substance (depending on the severity of the reaction) to a maximum of 400 ° C. at a heating rate of 20 ° C. per minute.
  • the deflagration point is the temperature at which a clear reaction takes place with the evolution of gas or flame or even deflagration. Examples 1 to 24:
  • thermal initiation of mixtures which contain several components (e.g. also as binders) or which vary in the choice of oxidizing agents:
