Definitions
- This invention relates to a passenger airbag system for use with a motor vehicle. More specifically, two airbags are mounted separately in the instrument panel in such a way as to minimize the risk of injuries caused by airbag inflation to out-of-position occupants while maintaining as effective protection for in-position occupants during serious crashes as a conventional single airbag.
- Front driver and passenger airbags have saved numerous lives and reduced injuries from severe frontal crashes. These airbags have been proven to work effectively on the roads for both belted and unbelted occupants, even though they are supplementary devices to safety belts.
- the airbags are designed to absorb kinetic energy during crashes in such a way that the occupant decelerates smoothly by cushioning from the inflated airbags.
- the airbags In order for the airbags to protect the occupants properly, the airbags should be fully inflated fast enough to be in position in front of the occupants during the crash.
- this fast inflation sometimes causes serious injuries to the occupants, especially to out-of-position occupants.
- the occupant can move forward and get very close to the airbag during emergency braking before the crash, and then can be injured or killed by the fast-inflating airbag. Infants riding in a rear facing child seat (RFCS), children, and small size adults are more vulnerable to the risks.
- RFCS rear facing child seat
- the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a government agency, has proposed a rulemaking that sets a new performance requirement and test procedures for advanced airbag systems.
- the intent of this rulemaking is to minimize risks caused by air bags to out-of-position occupants, especially infants and children, and also to improve occupant protection provided by airbags for belted and unbelted occupants of all sizes.
- the new rule for advanced airbags applies to about 20 percent of 2004 model year vehicles and all applicable vehicles of 2007 model year and afterward.
- the advanced airbag rule in part, requires as an option to conduct low risk deployment (LRD) airbag tests with a 12-month-old infant dummy in a rear facing child seat, and dummies representing 3 and 6 year old children.
- a passenger airbag system for an automotive vehicle having a passenger compartment, a windshield, and an instrument panel disposed between the passenger compartment and windshield.
- the passenger airbag system includes a top-mounted airbag and a mid-mounted airbag. Both airbags are deployable through the instrument panel along a predetermined path for direct contact with an occupant seated in the passenger compartment.
- the predetermined path is substantially horizontal.
- the top-mounted airbag after deployment has a volume substantially larger than the mid-mounted airbag.
- the top-mounted airbag after deployment is presented between a top surface of the instrument panel, the windshield and the mid-mounted airbag for direct contact with the occupant.
- the mid-mounted airbag after deployment is presented below the top-mounted airbag for direct contact with the occupant.
- a passenger airbag system is provided for an automotive vehicle having a passenger compartment, a windshield, and an instrument panel disposed between the passenger compartment and windshield.
- the passenger airbag system includes a top-mounted airbag and a mid-mounted airbag.
- Both of the airbags are deployable through the instrument panel for direct contact with an occupant seated in the passenger compartment.
- the deployment of at least one of the airbags during high speed crashes is controlled in accordance with an algorithm that defines a predetermined lower output level for the deployment of the at least one of the airbags when it is determined that the occupant is restrained by a safety belt in the occupant compartment.

- Fig. 11 is a side view of a deployment mode of the present invention shown with an out- of-position child dummy and an in-position adult male dummy;
- FIG. 1 a conventional single passenger airbag module is shown top- mounted in the instrument panel.
- the airbag cushion 3 deploys toward the head and torso areas of an adult occupant 2.
- the airbag can generate a substantially large component of downward deployment, as indicated by the arrows at 6.
- the component of downward deployment 6 can now push down the head of the out-of- position child 1 and potentially cause a serious injury to the neck.
- the airbag module has a gas generating inflator 4, and a housing 5 that holds the inflator 4 and airbag cushion 3.
- Figure 2 shows another conventional single passenger airbag module that is mid- mounted in the instrument panel.
- the airbag module includes an airbag cushion 7, which deploys toward the head and torso areas of an adult occupant 2. During the airbag deployment, shown as a dotted line, the airbag 7 can generate a substantially large component of upward deployment, as indicated by the arrow 10, and can be trapped under the chin of an out-of- position child 1. The component of upward deployment 10 can now push up the chin and potentially cause a serious injury to the neck.
- the airbag module also includes a gas generating inflator 8, and a housing 9 that holds the inflator 8 and the airbag cushion 7.
- Figure 3 discloses a preferred embodiment of the present inventive airbag system as utilized on the passenger side of the vehicle.
- the airbag system includes a top-mounted airbag 11, which is mounted behind a generally horizontal top surface of the instrument panel.
- the top-mounted airbag 11 deploys toward the head and upper torso area of an adult occupant 2. Initially, the top-mounted airbag 11 deploys obliquely upward toward and along the windshield. When the top-mounted airbag 11 expands further, its progress toward the head and neck region of the out-of-position child 1 is substantially horizontal, as indicated by arrow 17, and thus does not generate a component of substantial downward deployment, unlike the single, conventional, top-mounted airbag 3 in Figure 1, which reduces the risks of neck injuries.
- the airbag system also includes a mid-mounted airbag 12, which is mounted behind a generally upright, occupant-facing surface of the instrument panel. The mid-mounted airbag 12 deploys toward the lower torso area of the adult occupant 2.
- the mid-mounted airbag 12 deploys generally horizontally, as indicated by the arrow 18, and downwardly, as indicated by the arrow 18a, and thus does not generate a component of substantial upward deployment, unlike the single, conventional, mid-mounted airbag 7 in Figure 2, reducing the risks of neck injuries. Together, the mode of the horizontal deployments of the top-mounted airbag 11 and the mid-mounted airbag 12 can provide the out-of-position child with a safer mode of airbag deployment.
- the sizes of both airbags 11, 12 of the present inventive airbag system are substantially smaller than the size of the conventional single passenger airbag 3 or 7. This helps distribute impact forces to the out-of-position child during airbag inflations.
- the top-mounted airbag cushion 11 is substantially larger than the mid-mounted airbag cushion 12 in volume when fully deployed since the top-mounted airbag is less aggressive than the mid-mounted airbag due to a fact that the top-mounted airbag is located further away from the out-of-position occupant.
- the top-mounted airbag cushion 11 could have a deployed volume ranging between 60 and 120 liters, while the mid-mounted airbag cushion 12 could have a deployed volume ranging between 30 and 70 liters.
- the top-mounted air bag has a volume at least 25 percent greater than the volume of the mid-mounted airbag. In other embodiments, the volume of the top-mounted air bag may be at least 50 percent greater than the volume of the mid-mounted airbag.
- the top-mounted airbag may have a volume that is at least 75 or 100 percent greater than the volume of the mid-mounted airbag.
- the top-mounted 11 and mid-mounted 12 airbags are inflated by separate gas generating inflators 13 and 15, respectively.
- the inflators 13, 15 can be of any suitable type known in the art.
- the inflators 13, 15 are triggered to inflate the airbags 11, 12 independently to each other.
- FIG 3 are now shown with an infant 19 in a rear facing child seat 20 belted conventionally to the vehicle seat.
- the top-mounted airbag cushion 11 deploys toward the head area of the child seat 20, while the mid-mounted airbag cushion 12 deploys toward the thoracic region of the child seat 20.
- the airbags 11, 12 can be inflated to contact the child seat 20 in a slightly sequential manner. To ensure the desired relative timing between the airbags 11, 12 and the child seat 20, it may be necessary to offset the firing of the inflators 13, 15.
- FIG. 5 shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention, wherein each airbag module has a separate inflator 13, 15.
- the parts of the top-mounted airbag module, such as the inflator 13, housing 14, and cushion 11 are smaller than those of top-mounted conventional single airbag, as shown in Figure 1.
- the parts of the mid-mounted airbag module, such as the inflator 15, housing 16, and cushion 12 are smaller than those of the mid-mounted conventional single airbag, as shown in Figure 2.
- the airbag modules can have diffusers 21, 22 to control the output from the inflators 13, 15 into the respective airbag cushions 11, 12. It is preferable that the two airbags 11, 12 are controlled separately in regards to the firing time and the output level of the inflators 13, 15.
- Figure 6 shows a flow chart of an optional airbag deployment algorithm for the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 5.
- the mid-mounted airbag may be deployed at low output or may not be deployed at all for belted occupants during high-speed crashes including a 40 mph flat frontal rigid barrier test since the safety belt can be effective enough to restrain the occupant's torso and pelvis.
- This reduced inflation output to the mid-mounted airbag 12 can help reduce injury values of an infant dummy in a rear facing child seat during the low risk deployment test.
- Figure 7 shows another embodiment of the present invention, wherein one inflator 23 generates gas to inflate both the top-mounted 11 and mid-mounted airbags 12.
- the inflator 23 is disposed within a single conduit 24 that is in fluid communication with both airbags 11, 12.
- the conduit 24 includes an upper portion coupled to the top-mounted airbag 11 and a lower portion coupled to the mid-mounted airbag 12.
- the inflator 23 is positioned between the upper 25 and the lower 26 portions of the conduit 24. It should be appreciated that the inflator 23 can also be positioned at either end of the conduit 24, while remaining in fluid communication with both airbags 11, 12. Further, diffusers 21, 22 or different opening sizes of passages can be utilized between the inflator 23 and the airbags 11, 12 at any suitable point along the conduit 24 to control the amount and rate at which gas is supplied to each airbag 11, 12.
- Figure 8 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention.
- the passenger airbag system 30 includes a gas generating inflator 32, a diffuser 34 that controls the flow of the generated gas, an airbag cushion 36, and a housing 38 that contains the airbag cushion.
- the housing 38 extends from a top portion 42 of the instrument panel 40 to a mid or front portion 44 of the instrument panel as a single unit.
- the airbag cushion 36 may be covered by an instrument panel skin 46.
- the length of the housing 38 of the present invention measured in the vehicle's longitudinal direction is substantially larger than the conventional airbag housing. It is large enough to cover a substantial amount of both the top and the mid portions of the instrument panel.
- the length may be at least twice as large as that of conventional airbag housings in order to cover the location of a conventional top-mounted airbag and the location of a conventional mid-mounded airbag.
- the top of the instrument panel means the portion of the instrument panel with a surface that is generally more horizontal than vertical and generally faces the windshield.
- the mid or front portion of the instrument panel is the portion with a surface that is generally more vertical than horizontal and generally faces the occupant.
- the width of the airbag housing 38 of this embodiment of the present invention is preferred to remain about the same as for a conventional airbag housing, it can be enlarged from the conventional size in order to further distribute the airbag cushion over the instrument panel.
- the airbag cushion when fully deployed, preferably has about the same shape and volume as the conventional top-mounted airbag cushion.
- the inflator 32 can be located anywhere within the airbag module, though the center is a preferred location, as shown in Fig. 8. Because of the long housing, the gas generated from the inflator may build up higher pressure near the inflator and lower pressure away from the inflator, which can generate undesirable cushion deployment.
- the diffuser 34 for this embodiment of the present invention can have varying sizes of opening areas to control the way the airbag cushion is deployed.
- the amount of opening area can be varied along the longitudinal direction as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, as an example, in order to induce uniform and radial cushion deployment in a controlled way.
- the opening area is made gradually larger as it goes farther away from the inflator.
- the opening area can be varied either by changing the hole size, as shown in Fig. 9, or by changing the hole density (the number of holes per unit area), if the hole size is kept the same, as shown in Fig. 10, or by the combination of both approaches.
- the size and pattern of the opening holes can be further varied in order to fine-tune the cushion deployment.
- the top portion of the airbag cushion may be desirable to deploy faster than the bottom portion while maintaining the radial deployment because the top portion has farther to travel before it reaches the final shape of the cushion deployment.
- This effect can also distribute the airbag aggressiveness more evenly between the top portion and the bottom portion of the cushion deployment.
- the top portion of the cushion is generally safer than the bottom portion (mid or front portion of the instrument panel) due to the fact that it is located farther away from the out-of-position occupants.
- the opening area can be further enlarged toward the top end of the airbag cushion in addition to the varying sizes and/or densities away from the inflator as shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10.
- the deployment mode is radial from the side view, approximately following the contour of the instrument panel. This radial deployment can reduce the risk of neck injuries significantly.
- the deployment of conventional airbags has a substantial amount of risky downward or upward components near the neck area, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
- an airbag system may be constructed with more than the two airbag modules described herein.
- a system with tliree airbag modules could be provided, each intended to follow along a generally common path to make direct contact with the occupant without substantial undesired upward or downward components of deployment.
- the airbag modules are shown as providing an upper or top-mounted airbag and a lower or mid-mounted airbag, two or more individual airbags may also be provided side-by-side in a transverse manner along the instrument panel, or at other angles therealong.
- the present disclosure should be interpreted broadly. We claim:
