Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for reducing the risk of injury to the foot and leg area of a person sitting on a seat arranged in the interior of a vehicle in the event of an accident-related deformation of the footwell.
  • Passive restraint systems which have become known and in which airbags are used are particularly aimed at protecting the body of a vehicle occupant from the head to the thorax from immediately life-threatening injuries. Earlier systems are limited to the deployment of a driver and possibly a passenger airbag in the event of a frontal impact of the vehicle. Today's further developed systems also have side airbags in practice, which try to protect the head area of the vehicle occupant in particular.
  • the device has an airbag module assigned to the footwell with at least one gas bag, into which at least one gas generator assigned to this in response to a trigger signal suddenly introduces gas, whereupon it briefly fills the relevant footwell to a predetermined extent, in order to form a cushioning cushion for the foot area before the bulkhead intrudes into the vehicle interior.
  • the bulkhead is understood to be that wall of the body which separates the interior of the vehicle from the engine compartment.
  • the intrusion of the bulkhead into the vehicle interior occurs when the engine block is displaced in the direction of the vehicle interior in the event of a frontal impact of the vehicle, thereby deforming the bulkhead.
  • the footwell is briefly filled with a foot airbag.
  • This filling process should be triggered, for example, 10 to 15 msec after the impact in order to offer optimal damping protection.
  • the airbag in the footwell With the help of the airbag in the footwell, one is able to significantly minimize the otherwise high contact acceleration between the foot and the intruding bulkhead. This is especially true for the driver's right foot when it is on the brake pedal. With the help of the airbag in the footwell, however, it is also possible to reduce the risk of the foot collapsing, which is understood to mean a reduced angle between the foot and shin due to overstraining, by suitable placement of the airbag in the footwell. This reduction is primarily achieved by supporting the foot in the heel area on the airbag. For this reason, the contact forces on the heel can be effectively reduced.
  • the device also has an airbag module assigned to the knee area with at least one gas bag, into which at least one gas generator assigned to this in turn suddenly initiates gas upon a trigger signal, whereupon this is applied to the knees and optionally has a dampening effect on the lower leg area and forms a resistance to a further inertia-related movement in the direction of travel.
  • an airbag module assigned to the knee area with at least one gas bag, into which at least one gas generator assigned to this in turn suddenly initiates gas upon a trigger signal, whereupon this is applied to the knees and optionally has a dampening effect on the lower leg area and forms a resistance to a further inertia-related movement in the direction of travel.
  • the airbag module in the knee area should be located approximately at knee height, for example in the dashboard.
  • the combination of the foot airbag with the knee airbag allows further improvements in injury protection to be achieved.
  • the knee airbag is to be designed in such a way that in addition to the actual knee protection (i.e. the reduction in knee forces, knee accelerations, etc.), it also pushes back the lower leg. This further relieves the foot area.
  • the foot airbag lifts the foot by a certain distance so that when the lower leg area is moved back against the direction of travel, there is no longer any contact with the floor panel. Otherwise, this would cause an increase in the foot load due to the friction on the floor.
  • the aforementioned foot airbag and the knee airbag can be filled with gas from only one gas generator at the same time. This ensures that the at least two gas bags are inflated to their full size practically at the same time, so that they can develop a good protective effect.
  • the device has, in addition to the foot airbag, an airbag module associated with the thigh area with at least one gas bag, into which, in turn, an associated gas generator initiates gas in response to the trigger signal mentioned, this airbag module in the area of the the front seat edge is arranged in the vehicle seat such that the gas-filled gas bag lifts the thigh region of the vehicle occupant from the seat surface by a predeterminable distance.
  • This also makes one Collapse of the foot area is prevented, as well as counteracting further loads on the foot area.
  • the heel area of the foot will no longer rest on the floor plate, so that - as in the aforementioned embodiment - no increase in stress in the foot is caused by the friction on the floor plate.
  • the device provides an airbag module assigned to the knee area with at least one gas bag into which at least one gas generator assigned to it suddenly initiates gas upon a trigger signal, whereupon this has a damping effect on the knees and, if appropriate, on the lower leg area and a resistance forms against an inertia-related movement in the direction of travel and has an airbag module associated with the thigh area with at least one gas bag, into which at least one gas generator associated with this suddenly initiates gas in response to the trigger signal, which gas is arranged in the area of the front seat edge in the seat, such that that the gas-filled gas bag lifts the thigh area from the seat surface by a predeterminable distance.
  • the device according to the second proposed solution has the combination of the knee airbag and the thigh airbag from the first proposed solution.
  • the heel is lifted off the floor plate by lifting the thighs in a targeted manner.
  • the knee airbag moves the occupant's feet and legs away from the intruding bulkhead, reducing the stress.
  • the knee area in particular is to be protected, since knee contact with the dashboard could otherwise take place by lifting the thighs.
  • the knee airbag is provided to dampen this contact.
  • the device has all the elements, that is to say the foot airbag, the knee airbag and that Airbag associated with thigh area.
  • the interaction of all three elements enables all imaginable time sequences of the airbag filling and thus practically all conceivable protective effects.
  • the foot airbag has a special shape on the driver's seat side. It is proposed that the airbag module assigned to the footwell has an airbag which is divided into an area for the left foot and an area for the right foot. The area for the left foot protrudes further into the vehicle interior than the area for the right foot. This is characterized in such a way that the gas bag, viewed in projection from above, has two mutually offset regions, the region for the left foot extending further into the vehicle interior than the region for the right foot. This training takes into account the normal foot control of a driver. This increases the "accuracy" of the feet through the areas of the gas bag in the event of an impact and deployment of the airbag.

  • Fig. 3 corresponding views with the device according to the second proposed solution.
  • the reference numerals 10 denote the vehicle seat, 11 the person sitting on the seat 10, 12 the foot area, 13 and 14 - as already mentioned - the bulkhead or the engine block, 15 the knee area of the person 11, 17 the floor wall and 18 the Foot rest in all drawing figures.
  • the airbag module 1 illustrates the first proposed solution, in which only one airbag module 1 is arranged in the footwell 12.
  • the airbag module 1 is arranged in a corner in the area between the floor panel 17 and the footrest 18, so that the heel area of the foot of the motor vehicle occupant 11 is supported on part of the airbag module of the airbag module, which is initially folded up.
  • the gas bag is suddenly filled with gas, so that the heel area is lifted off the floor plate 17, as is the rest of the foot from the footrest 18. Only then can the filled gas bag perform its damping function.
  • an airbag module 2 assigned to the knee area 15 is provided, which is shown schematically here as installed in the lower area of the dashboard. If the gas bag of the airbag module 2 is filled after an impact of the vehicle, the gas bag lies against the knee and possibly the lower leg area of the vehicle occupant 11 and presses it against the driving direction into a position in which, above all, the folding of the foot is avoided. In the present case, the heel area and the rest of the foot are lifted off the base plate 17 and the footrest 18.
  • the airbag of the airbag module 2 is preferably filled at the same time and forms a resistance to further advancement of the leg area (in the original direction of travel, that is to the right in FIG. 2).
  • 3 shows the second proposed solution according to the invention, in which no airbag module is arranged in the footwell 12. Instead, the combination of the aforementioned airbag module 2, which is assigned to the knee area 15 of the vehicle occupant 11, is shown here with a further airbag module 3, which is arranged in the area of the front seat edge 10 'of the seat.
  • the airbag module 3 is intended, after generation of the trigger signal, to fill the gas bag in question with gas, so that the thigh region 16 of the motor vehicle occupant 11 is lifted upward, to a predetermined extent by the filling characteristics of the gas bag.
  • the direct consequence of the lifting of the thigh area 16 is the lifting of the heel area from the base plate 17.
  • the filling of the airbag of the knee airbag module 2 results in the lifting of the remaining foot area from the footrest 18, so that in the event of intrusion of the bulkhead 13 due to the displacement of the engine block 14 There is hardly any direct contact between the foot and the vehicle parts inside the vehicle.
  • the invention is suitable for reducing the risk of injury in the foot and leg area of a vehicle occupant, which economically achieves cost savings and the personal well-being of a person involved in an accident can be increased due to the inadvertent nature of the foot and leg area.
