Description

明 細 書 乗員拘束装置用のインフレ一夕バッグ、 その取付構造、 及び乗員腰部拘束装置 技術分野  Description Inflation overnight bag for occupant restraint, its mounting structure, and occupant lumbar restraint
本発明は、 乗員拘束装置用のインフレ一夕バッグに係り、 特に、 シートクッシ ョン内に装備して車両衝突時に乗員の腰部を拘束する乗員腰部拘束装置や、 ィン ストルメントパネルの下部に装備して車両衝突時に乗員の脚部を拘束する乗員脚 部拘束装置に適用するのに好適なインフレ一夕バッグに関する。 また、 そのイン フレータバッグの取付構造及びそのィンフレー夕バッグを用いた乗員腰部拘束装 置に関する。 背景技術  The present invention relates to an inflation overnight bag for an occupant restraint device, and more particularly to an occupant lumbar restraint device installed in a seat cushion to restrain an occupant's lumbar portion in the event of a vehicle collision, and to a lower portion of an instrument panel. The present invention relates to an inflation overnight bag suitable for being applied to an occupant leg restraint device that restrains an occupant's leg during a vehicle collision. The present invention also relates to an inflator bag mounting structure and an occupant lumbar restraint using the inflatable bag. Background art
車両が前方衝突したときには、 慣性により乗員が前方へ移動しょうとする。 乗 員がシートベルトを着用している場合、 シートベルトの肩ベルト及び腰ベルトの 拘束作用により、 乗員の前方への移動はかなりの程度抑えられるが、 必ずしも十 分でない場合があった。  When a vehicle collides forward, the occupants try to move forward due to inertia. When the occupant wears a seat belt, the restraining action of the shoulder belt and the waist belt of the seat belt can restrain the occupant from moving forward to a considerable extent, but this may not always be sufficient.
この乗員の前方への移動を防止するため、 車両が前方衝突等により急減速した 場合に、 瞬時にシートクッションの前端部を上昇させて、 乗員の前方移動を制限 するようにした乗員腰部拘束装置が、 例えば特許文献 1、 特許文献 2、 特許文献 3において知られている。 また、 前方へ移動する乗員の脚部を保護するための乗 員脚部拘束装置が、 例えば特許文献 4、 特許文献 5において知られている。 図 5は乗員腰部拘束装置の従来例を示している。 (a ) は膨張展開前の状態、 (b ) は膨張展開後の状態を示している。 図において、 1はシートフレームであ り、 このシートフレーム 1の前部には、 上から見て凹んだ凹部 1 aが設けられ、 その上面に、 凹部 1 aを覆うようにメタルシート 2が、 溶接や接着等により貼り 付けられている。 この例において、 インフレ一夕バッグ 3は、 メタルシート 2と シートフレーム 1で構成されており、 インフレ一夕 4の発生したガスが、 インフ レー夕バッグ 3の内部空間に充填されるようになっている。 この乗員腰部拘束装置を備えた車両においては、 前方衝突等による車両急減速 時に、 インフレ一夕 4が作動して高圧ガスをィンフレータパッグ 3に送り込む。 そうすると、 インフレ一夕バッグ 3を構成するメタルシート 2が膨張展開し、 シ —トクッション 6の前部座面を上昇させることにより、 シートに着座した乗員 M の前方への移動を防止する。 In order to prevent the occupant from moving forward, when the vehicle suddenly decelerates due to a forward collision or the like, the front end of the seat cushion is immediately raised to limit the occupant's forward movement. However, this is known, for example, in Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3. Further, occupant leg restraint devices for protecting a leg of an occupant moving forward are known, for example, in Patent Documents 4 and 5. FIG. 5 shows a conventional example of an occupant waist restraint device. (A) shows the state before expansion and expansion, and (b) shows the state after expansion and expansion. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a seat frame, and a concave portion 1a which is recessed when viewed from above is provided at a front portion of the seat frame 1, and a metal sheet 2 is provided on an upper surface thereof so as to cover the concave portion 1a. It is attached by welding or bonding. In this example, the inflation overnight bag 3 is composed of the metal sheet 2 and the seat frame 1, and the gas generated by the inflation overnight 4 is filled into the interior space of the inflation overnight bag 3. I have. In a vehicle equipped with this occupant's lumbar region restraint device, when the vehicle suddenly decelerates due to a forward collision or the like, the inflation overnight 4 operates to send high-pressure gas to the inflator bag 3. Then, the metal sheet 2 constituting the inflation overnight bag 3 is inflated and deployed, and the front seating surface of the seat cushion 6 is raised, thereby preventing the occupant M sitting on the seat from moving forward.
図 6は乗員脚部拘束装置 (ニーエアバッグ装置とも呼ばれている) の従来例を 示している。 (a )は膨張展開前の状態、 (b )は膨張展開後の状態を示している。 図において、 1 1はインストルメントパネル、 1 2はカバーパネル、 1 3はカバ —パネル 1 2の裏側に内蔵されたエアバッグモジュールである。 エアバッグモジ ユール 1 3には、 インフレ一夕バッグ (エアバッグ本体) 1 4と、 インフレ一夕 1 5が装備され、 インフレ一夕 1 5の発生したガスが、 インフレ一夕バッグ 1 4 の内部に充填されるようになっている。  Figure 6 shows a conventional example of an occupant leg restraint system (also called a knee airbag system). (A) shows the state before expansion and expansion, and (b) shows the state after expansion and expansion. In the figure, 11 is an instrument panel, 12 is a cover panel, and 13 is a cover—an airbag module built in the back of the panel 12. The airbag module 13 is equipped with an inflation overnight bag (airbag body) 14 and an inflation overnight 15, and the gas generated by the inflation overnight 15 fills the inside of the inflation overnight bag 14. It is supposed to be.
この乗員脚部拘束装置を備えた車両においては、 前方衝突等による車両急減速 時に、 インフレ一夕 1 5が作動して高圧ガスをインフレ一夕バッグ 1 4に送り込 む。 そうすると、 インフレ一夕バッグ 1 4が膨張展開してカバーパネル 1 2を押 し出し、 それにより、 シートに着座した乗員の脚部 Nを拘束して、 車内装備へ脚 部が衝突する際の衝撃を緩和する。  In the vehicle equipped with the occupant leg restraint device, when the vehicle suddenly decelerates due to a forward collision or the like, the inflation overnight 15 operates to send high-pressure gas into the inflation overnight bag 14. Then, the inflation overnight bag 14 expands and deploys, pushing out the cover panel 12, thereby restraining the leg N of the occupant sitting on the seat, and causing an impact when the leg collides with the in-vehicle equipment. To relax.
ところで、 この種の乗員拘束装置のィンフレ一夕バッグを金属の単品部品とし て構成する場合、 従来では、 図 7に示すように、 2枚のメタルシート 2 1、 2 2 を溶接 (点線 2 3が溶接部を示す) により貼り合わせて構成したり、 図 8に示す ように、 2枚のメタルシート 2 1、 2 2の間に、 膨張量確保のためのベローズ 2 5を挟んで溶接して構成したりしているのが一般的である。 そして、 このように 構成したィンフレータパッグを車両に装備する場合には、 予めィンフレータバッ グに対してインフレ一夕を組み付けてモジュール化し、 その上でこれを車両に装 備している。  By the way, when the inflation overnight bag of this type of occupant restraint is constructed as a single metal part, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, two metal sheets 21 and 22 are welded (dotted line 23). Indicates the welded portion), or as shown in Fig. 8, it is welded by sandwiching a bellows 25 between two metal sheets 21 and 22 to secure the amount of expansion. It is common to configure. When the inflator bag configured as described above is to be mounted on a vehicle, the inflator bag is assembled in advance into the inflator bag to be modularized, and then mounted on the vehicle.

しかし、 図 7に示したインフレ一夕バッグは、 2枚のメタルシート 2 1、 2 2 を重ね合わせた上で周辺溶接することにより構成しているので、 製作が面倒であ り、 高コストになるという問題があった。 また、 図 8に示したインフレ一夕バッ グは、 その上さらに、 2枚のメタルシート 2 1、 2 2の間にべローズ 2 5を挟ん で溶接することにより構成しているので、 さらに製作が面倒であり、 一層高コス トになるという問題があつた。  However, the inflation overnight bag shown in Fig. 7 is constructed by laminating two metal sheets 21 and 22 and then welding around them, making the production cumbersome and costly. There was a problem of becoming. In addition, the inflation overnight bag shown in Fig. 8 was further constructed by welding a bellows 25 between two metal sheets 21 and 22. However, there was a problem that the cost was higher.
メタルシートでインフレ一夕バッグを構成した場合には、 膨張前の状態におい て折り畳み難く、 収容性が悪いという問題がある。 一方、 ファブリック (布) で インフレ一夕バッグを構成した場合には、 収容性に優れるものの、 高温なガスに 耐えうる耐熱性に問題がある。  When an inflation overnight bag is made of metal sheets, it has a problem that it is difficult to fold before inflation and the storage capacity is poor. On the other hand, when an inflation overnight bag is made of a fabric, it has good heat resistance to withstand high-temperature gas, although it has excellent storage capacity.
本発明は、 上記事情を考慮し、 収容性を損なうことなく、 耐熱性に乗員拘束装 置用インフレ一夕バッグ、 その取付構造、 及び、 そのインフレ一夕バッグを使用 した乗員腰部拘束装置を提供することを目的とする。 発明の開示  In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides an inflation overnight bag for an occupant restraint device, a mounting structure thereof, and an occupant lumbar restraint using the inflation overnight bag, without impairing the accommodation capacity and heat resistance.

請求項 1に係る乗員拘束装置用のインフレ一タバッグは、 ガスの充填により膨 張展開することにより、 車両内の乗員を拘束する乗員拘束装置用のィンフレ一タ バッグにおいて、 前記ガスが接する内面に形成されたメタル層と、 前記メタル層 の外側に積層された柔軟性に優れた補強布層とを含む本体シートを備え、 前記本 体シートを袋状に成形している。  The inflator bag for an occupant restraint device according to claim 1 is an inflator bag for an occupant restraint device that restrains an occupant in a vehicle by being inflated and deployed by filling with gas. A main body sheet including the formed metal layer and a flexible cloth layer having excellent flexibility laminated outside the metal layer is provided, and the main body sheet is formed into a bag shape.
この場合、 メタル薄膜シ一トとしてはアルミシ一ト等の可撓性を有する薄膜シ —トが利用可能である。 また、 補強布としては縫製布が利用可能である。 また、 樹脂の例としては、 ポリエチレン、 ポリプロピレン、 ポリエステル、 ポリアミド 等が利用可能である。 また、 袋体として成形する際の本体シートの貼り合わせ方 法としては、 接着ゃ熱融着などの方法を採用することができる。 In this case, a flexible thin film sheet such as an aluminum sheet can be used as the metal thin film sheet. A sewing cloth can be used as the reinforcing cloth. Examples of resin include polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide Etc. are available. In addition, as a method of bonding the main body sheet when forming the bag, a method such as adhesion and heat fusion can be adopted.
単に樹脂だけのシートで袋状に成形したものと比べて、 本発明のインフレ一夕 バッグは、 メタル薄膜シートを内面に張り、 且つ、 補強布を層状に積層すること で構成した本体シートで成形したものであるので、 ガス充填時の高圧 ·高温にも 十分に耐えることができ、 インフレ一夕バッグとしての信頼性を高めることがで きる。 また、 可撓性を有する袋体として成形されたものであるから、 平たく押し 潰した形でコンパクトに車両に据え付けることができる。  The inflation overnight bag of the present invention is formed of a main body sheet formed by laminating a metal thin film sheet on the inner surface and laminating a reinforcing cloth in a layered form, compared to a bag formed simply of a resin-only sheet. As a result, it can withstand high pressure and high temperature during gas filling sufficiently, and the reliability as an inflation overnight bag can be improved. Further, since it is molded as a flexible bag, it can be compactly mounted on a vehicle in a flat crushed form.
請求項 2の発明の乗員拘束装置用のインフレ一夕バッグは、請求項 1において、 前記袋体が、 平面視矩形で一方の対向 2辺で互いに接合された表裏 2枚の広幅部 シートと、 該広幅部シートの他方の対向 2辺で表裏 2枚の広幅部シートの縁部と 接合された膨張高さ確保用の左右 2枚の襠部シ一トとにより構成されており、 該 両襠部シートが中央幅広の略菱形状に形成されることで、 前記広幅部シートが、 前記両襠部シートの中央幅広部分を頂点とする略円筒曲面状に膨張可能とされて いることを特徴とする。  The inflation overnight bag for an occupant restraint device according to the invention of claim 2 is the inflation overnight bag according to claim 1, wherein the bag body has a rectangular shape in a plan view and two wide-sided sheets joined to each other at one of two opposite sides, The other two opposing sides of the wide portion sheet are composed of two left and right gore portion sheets for securing the expansion height joined to the edges of the front and back two wide portion sheets. The wide sheet is formed so as to be inflatable into a substantially cylindrical curved surface having a vertex at the center wide portion of each of the gore portion sheets by forming the central sheet in a generally rhombic shape having a wide center.

ィンフレータバッグ 5 0のバッグ本体 5 0 Aは、 高圧ガスの充填により膨張展 開可能で、 膨張展開することによって乗員を拘束する乗員拘束装置用のものであ る。 図 3に示すように、 メタルシート 1 0 0を内面に張り且つ補強布 1 0 2 , 1 0 4 , 1 0 6を層状に積層することで構成した本体シートを貼り合わせることに より、 可撓性を有する気密な袋体として成形されている。 この場合、 メタルシ一 ト 1 0 0としては、 アルミシ一ト等の可撓性を有する薄膜シートを利用すること ができる。  The bag body 50A of the inflator bag 50 is capable of being inflated and expanded by filling with high-pressure gas, and is for an occupant restraining device that restrains an occupant by inflating and deploying. As shown in FIG. 3, the metal sheet 100 is stretched on the inner surface, and the main body sheet formed by laminating the reinforcing cloths 102, 104, and 106 in a layer form is bonded to each other to provide a flexible structure. It is formed as a hermetic bag having water resistance. In this case, as the metal sheet 100, a flexible thin film sheet such as an aluminum sheet can be used.
メタルシート 1 0 0の材質としては、 アルミニウムの他に、 アルミ合金、 銅、 銅合金、 ステンレスなどを使用することができる。 また、 これらの素材は、 イン フレー夕バッグの内面の特に温度の上がる部分にのみ局所的に又は部分的に用い てもよい。 アルミニウムを使用した場合のメタルシート 1 0 0の厚みとしては、 1 / 1 0 0 0 mm〜: L Z 1 0 mmとすることができる。 好ましくは、 1 1 0 0 0 mm〜: L / 1 0 0 mmとする。  As the material of the metal sheet 100, aluminum alloy, copper, copper alloy, stainless steel, etc. can be used in addition to aluminum. In addition, these materials may be used locally or partially only in a portion of the inner surface of the inflatable bag where the temperature is particularly high. When aluminum is used, the thickness of the metal sheet 100 can be 1/100 mm or more: LZ 100 mm. Preferably, it should be 110 mm or more: L / 100 mm.
補強布層のうち、 メタルシート 1 0 0に接する層 1 0 2及び最も外側の層 1 0 6としては、 例えば、 ポリエステルシートを使用することができる。 2つのポリ エステルシ一ト 1 0 2 , 1 0 6の間には、 補強用の紙層 1 0 4を介在させること ができる。 なお、 層 1 0 4としては縫製布を利用することができる。 また、 層 1 0 2, 1 0 4を構成する樹脂の例としては、ポリエステルの他に、ポリエチレン、 ポリプロピレン、 ポリアミド等の種々のものを利用することができる。 As the layer 102 in contact with the metal sheet 100 and the outermost layer 106 in the reinforcing cloth layer, for example, a polyester sheet can be used. Two poly A paper layer 104 for reinforcement can be interposed between the ester sheets 102 and 106. In addition, a sewing cloth can be used as the layer 104. In addition, examples of the resin constituting the layers 102 and 104 include not only polyester but also various resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyamide.
図 3に示す本体シートを構成する層の数及び材質は、 実施例のものに限らず、 必要とされる耐圧等に応じて適宜変更可能である。  The number and materials of the layers constituting the main body sheet shown in FIG. 3 are not limited to those of the embodiment, and can be appropriately changed according to the required pressure resistance and the like.
