Technical Field
本发明涉及安全带技术,具体涉及一种用于安全带的卷收器。本发明同时涉及一种使用所述卷收器的安全带总成和用于上述安全带的卷收器的扭力杆、卷轴和端盖。
Background Art
安全带是应用于汽车上的重要被动安全部件。在车辆发生碰撞时,安全带能够保护使用者,使其免受或减轻碰撞时的二次伤害。
最初被设计的应用于汽车座椅上的标准三点式安全带,其仅仅包括锁止机构和用于固定使用者(人体)的织带。在车辆发生碰撞时,锁止机构锁止,织带不再向外拉伸,从而将使用者捆绑在汽车座椅上。然而由于碰撞瞬间速度变化很快,碰撞时速度变化引起的动量变化时间很短,使得织带作用于使用者身上的力很大,例如可达 8-10 kN 。会导致使用者肋骨折断甚至更严重的伤害。
基于上述的原因,标准式安全带被进一步改进,提出了限力式安全带,即在碰撞瞬间,可以通过一定的限力机构限制织带作用于人体上的力,不会导致人体受到织带本身的伤害,以达到最大限度保护使用者的目的。
在文献号为 EP1607288B1 的欧洲专利文献中,公开了一种用于限力式安全带的安全装置。具体的,在所述欧洲专利文献的第二实施例中,公开的安全装置包括一 U 型框架、卷轴和扭力杆。在所述 U 型框架的相对的两侧壁上,设置有带内齿的圆形孔。卷轴包括用于缠绕织带的芯轴和设置于芯轴两端的分离式端盖。在所述端盖上设置有与框架上内齿相匹配的外齿;所述卷轴可旋转浮动设置于所述 U 型框架上,且两端盖分别设置于所述 U 型框架的圆形孔中,在正常状态下,端盖上的外齿与所述圆形孔的内齿并不啮合,卷轴可在所述圆形孔中转动,以缠绕织带或者释放织带。
所述扭力杆呈杆状,沿所述卷轴轴线设置于卷轴之中,并在所述卷轴沿轴线中心位置通过内外齿啮合方式连接;此外,所述扭力杆两端穿过所述两端盖中心,伸出端盖之外并通过外齿与两端盖上的内齿相啮合。
上述的限力式安装装置工作过程如下:在发生碰撞时,传感装置触发包括气体发生器在内的动作机构,使得卷轴的端盖上的外齿与 U 型框架的内齿相啮合,将卷轴由可旋转浮动状态(也可称为自由状态)变为锁止状态。使得缠绕在卷轴上的织带不再向外释放。从而将使用者固定于座椅上。在此过程中,织带承受的来自于使用者由于惯性而产生的向前移动的力会越拉越大,该力总是在试图牵引卷轴的芯轴转动。但是芯轴通过与之啮合的扭力杆、与扭力杆啮合的端盖而被固定于 U 型框架上而无法转动。当织带的牵引力足够大能够使得扭力杆产生扭曲转动时,芯轴就会发生一定角度的转动,从而使得织带会被释放出一段长度,进而使得使用者可以向前产生一定的位移,减轻织带作用于使用者身上的拉力,达到了限制织带作用于使用者身上的力的作用,获得限力效果。
上述专利的重要特征在于,扭力杆两端固定,中段通过内外齿啮合芯轴,使得扭转变形均匀分布在整个扭力杆上,防止局部应力集中而断裂,并且可以充分利用扭力杆的材料,产生稳定一致的限力效果。此外,扭力杆变形过程对称,使卷收器框架受力平衡,框架的扭转变形小。
有关上述专利文献的限力式安装装置的详细内容,可进一步参看上述的欧洲专利文献。
然而,上述的欧洲专利所公开的限力式安全装置也有一定的缺陷,主要问题在于,其用卷轴的端盖上的周向外齿和 U 形框架的框架壁上设置的周向内齿相配合进行锁止,其锁止位置不固定,可能出现在周向的多个位置;这使得该卷收器锁止时产生不确定性,难以准确控制。还有改进的空间。

优选的, 位于该扭力杆中部的周向外齿的两侧杆段在轴向上的有效长度不同 ; 其中,所述有效长度是指扭力杆或杆段去除两端部外齿所在轴段之外的部分的轴向长度。

Advantageous Effects
本发明的卷收器将框架的通孔中设置内齿段,而不是整圈设齿;且内齿段的位置设置于织带向外牵引方向对应的位置;通过所述位置设置内齿段,将卷收器的锁止位置固定在设置内齿段的位置;克服了背景技术中的卷收器锁止位置不固定的问题,有利于提高对卷收器控制的准确性,从而可提高包含用该卷收器的安全带使用的稳定性。
在本发明的优选技术方案中,卷收器的扭力杆的两端设置于卷轴的两端盖处,而未穿出端盖,相对于背景技术中的扭力杆,本扭力杆长度缩短;背景技术伸出在外的部分,在该安全带卷收器中被设置于端盖外侧的伸出轴所代替;发生碰撞时,织带带动所述芯轴旋转,并通过中段的内齿带动扭力杆转动;而两端盖被锁止在框架上,两端盖同时啮合扭力杆的两端部,使得扭力杆的两端部无法转动。故扭力杆中间转动,而两端部不转动,使其承受扭转力,当该扭转力足够大时,该扭力杆会发生扭转形变,从而使得芯轴发生一定角度的转动,释放部分织带,织带作用于安全带使用者身体上的力量得以降低。本发明采用的扭力杆长度较背景技术中的更短,且沿轴向不伸出端盖之外,这使得扭力杆不易发生弯曲变形,且不受来自于两侧端盖之外的其它约束,扭力杆整体受力状况简单化,使用过程更为安全稳定。扭力杆不易发生弯曲变形,能够使芯轴和端盖之间的相对角度得到保持,不会引起芯轴和端盖之间的局部金属摩擦和胶合;此外,由于扭力杆的材质需要满足特殊的扭力要求,其成本高,制造要求高,本发明采用短的扭力杆还能够节约成本。
在本发明的另一优选技术方案中,相对于背景技术,本发明端盖内侧设置凸台插入芯轴对应的止口中的结构,可承受织带牵引力并传递到框架上,可进一步避免扭力杆承受织带牵引力而发生弯曲变形;该安全带卷收器的两侧端盖的凸台和芯轴两端的止口设置,将织带牵引力传递到框架上,保证扭力杆仅仅承受来自于芯轴的扭转力矩和端盖的反作用扭矩,受力状况简单且可控,能够获得更为一致的限力效果,在使用过程中更为安全稳定。
在本发明的另一优选技术方案中,还在卷收器的芯轴和端盖之间设置了限力销,该限力销在芯轴承受的拉力大于一预定值时断裂。断裂前,芯轴通过限力销向端盖传递扭力;限力销断裂后,才由扭力杆向端盖传递扭力。由于限力销发生断裂的限力值更为恒定,使该结构能够获得稳定的限力效果。
在本发明的另一优选技术方案中,卷收器的扭力杆分为同轴的两段;将两个相同直径或者不同直径的扭力杆段组合使用,可组合出多个扭力值,从而可形成具有多个限力值的卷收器中,可满足不同汽车厂商对安全带限力值的不同要求;此外,由于扭力杆是采用特殊材质并通过冷镦工艺加工而成,对于每一直径的扭力杆,都要有单独的模具,其制造设备以及模具的价格都非常昂贵;采用两段式扭力杆,可以实现使用较少的加工模具加工出的扭力杆段,通过组合方式获得多个要求的限力值,从而可减少开模数量,节约制造成本。
在本发明的另一优选实施例中,用于安全带卷收器的扭力杆,其中部周向外齿两侧杆段在轴向上的有效长度不同,该扭力杆应用于安全带后,在芯轴转动时,有效长度较短的杆段由于变形更大而首先断裂失效,这一过程使该扭力杆的限力值出现明显变化;在该断裂失效发生之前,扭力杆以其全部的有效长度抵抗织带拉力,因而限力值相对较高,该阶段实现限力值较高的第一级限力;在所述断裂失效发生之后,芯轴继续在织带拉动下转动,直到有效长度较长的杆段在达到断裂转动圈数而断裂,在上述阶段实现了限力值较低的第二级限力;在该阶段,由于有效长度较短的杆段已经断裂,承担织带拉力的只有尚未断裂的杆段,因此,该阶段的限力值较小。在上述过程中,安全带实现了碰撞过程中的递减限力效果,可更有效的保护安全带使用者。
在本发明的另一优选实施例中,提供的用于安全带的卷收器,其扭力杆一端与第一端盖通过齿轮相啮合,另一端则通过螺纹与第二端盖相旋合,但并不旋紧而是保留一定圈数的螺距;采用该结构可实现递增式限力;具体实现过程如下所述 : 应用该卷收器的安全装置,在发生碰撞时,织带带动芯轴旋转,扭力杆中部通过中部的周向外齿与芯轴的内齿啮合,使其承受织带的拉力,带动扭力杆转动;而由于在织带拉紧时,芯轴的两端盖会被锁止在框架上,其中与第一端盖啮合的扭力杆端部被固定而无法转动,与第二端盖相旋合的端部与该第二端盖保留一定螺纹圈数而可旋转;也就是说,在织带的拉力达到第一限力值时,与第一端盖啮合的端部固定不动,而与第二端盖相旋合的端部以及整个扭力杆均可发生一定的转动,这使得扭力杆的第一杆段受力而发生扭转变形,进而使得芯轴发生一定角度的转动,释放部分织带,该扭力杆的扭转形变特性能够将织带适当放出,实现第一级限力;随着织带继续对芯轴施加拉力,扭力杆与第二端盖相旋合的端部螺纹被旋紧,该扭力杆端部不再旋转,在织带拉力达到第二限力值时,第二杆段开始受力,此时,第一杆段和第二杆段同时受力,均发生旋转,织带又被释放出一部分,从而实现了第二级限力;由于第一级限力的限力值由第一杆段决定,而第二级限力的限力值由第一杆段和第二杆段同时决定,故第二级限力值大于第一级限力值,即现了递增式限力;应用上述递增式限力的安全装置,对于没有其他安全措施(例如安全气囊)同时保护的情形下,有着特别重要的意义;例如,汽车后排, 或者儿童座椅等一般不安装安全气囊的位置,使用上述递增式限力的安全带会起到更好的保护作用;原因在于,在没有安全气囊的情况下,发生碰撞事故时,不能任由乘客大距离的前倾,需要在较小的一级限力释放部分织带后,增加限力值,使得织带被拉出时需要克服更大的扭力,以限制乘客前倾的距离,避免碰撞前部座椅或汽车其它部位;而较小的一级限力则避免了过大的束缚力对人体的损伤。
本发明还提供的应用上述卷收器的安全带,可以获得上述卷收器所带来的有益效果。

第一实施例
图 1 为本发明的用于安全带的卷收器的第一实施例的结构示意图,图 2 为图 1 中的卷轴的结构示意图;图 3 为图 2 沿卷轴轴向的剖视图;图 4 为卷轴及扭力杆装配的部件分解图。
请参看图 1 ,本实施例中,卷收器包括卷收器框架 1 、卷轴 2 和扭力杆 3 (图 4 中所示)。
其中,所述卷收器框架 1 呈 U 型,其包括两相对的侧壁:第一侧壁 1-1 和第二侧壁 1-2 。还包括连接所述第一侧壁 1-1 和第二侧壁 1-2 的第三壁 1-4 。在所述第一侧壁 1-1 和第二侧壁 1-2 上相对应位置分别设置有圆形第一通孔 1-1a 和第二通孔 1-2a ,在所述两通孔上相同位置均设置有内齿段 1-3 (图 1 中仅仅示出了第二通孔 1-2a 上设置内齿段的情形)。所述内齿段 1-3 用于与卷轴上外齿相配合将卷轴锁止,故所述内齿段 1-3 的设置位置为缠绕于卷轴上的织带的牵引方向所对应的位置。
如所述图 1 中所示的框架中,织带的由所述第三壁 1-4 内侧顶部向外引出,故所述内齿段 1-3 设置于两通孔顶部。通过所述位置设置内齿段,将卷收器的锁止位置固定在设置内齿段的位置。克服了背景技术中的卷收器锁止位置不固定的问题,有利于提高对卷收器控制的准确性,从而可提高包含用该卷收器的安全带使用的稳定性。
此外,为保证卷轴 2 在必要时锁止于框架 1 上,所述卷轴 2 上的外齿为朝向卷轴转动方向的单向齿,所述框架 1 上的内齿段同为单向齿,且齿向与转轴 2 上的单向齿方向相反。
在所述框架 1 上还设置有其它结构,例如两侧壁上的减重孔、连接两侧壁的加强肋的接口等等,这里不再一一赘述。
请参看图 2 、图 3 和图 4 ,所述卷轴 2 包括芯轴 2-1 和可分离设置于所述芯轴 2-1 两端的端盖:左侧端盖 2-2a 和右侧端盖 2-2b 。所述芯轴 2-1 用于缠绕安全带织带,其可以沿其轴线旋转将织带缠绕于其上或将缠绕的织带释放。所述芯轴沿其轴线设置有通孔 2-3 ,通孔 2-3 内壁设置有内齿。
在所述芯轴 2-1 的两端面上均分别设置有两个向外伸出的销柱 2-6 ,称为限力销 2-6 。在所述芯轴 2-1 上还设置有用于穿过并固定织带端部的扁长型固定槽 2-4 以及用于减重的减重槽 2-5 。
所述两端盖的外周均设置有外齿,如图 4 所示,左侧端盖 2-2a 外周设置外齿 2-2a-1 ,在右侧端盖 2-2b 的外周设置外齿圈 2-2b-1 ,且所述两端盖上的齿均为单向齿,朝向织带释放时芯轴 2-1 转动方向,所述两端盖外周的外齿与所述框架 1 上两通孔的内齿段相配合。
在所述两端盖朝向芯轴 2-1 的端面上相应于所述限力销的位置,还设置有销孔,如图 4 中所示的右侧端盖 2-2b 上的销孔 2-2b-2 。在两端盖如图 2 所示的方式设置于所述芯轴 2-1 两端面侧时,限力销插入相应的销孔中。此外,也可以将限力销设置于端盖内侧,而在芯轴 2-1 端面相应位置设置销孔。所述限力销在芯轴两端的设置位置可以不同,借此可用于在端盖与芯轴 2-1 装配时定位,防止左右端盖装配错误。
更重要的方面是,该限力销 2-6 还可以承受芯轴旋转时的剪切力,并在该剪切力达到一阈值时被切断。
在所述两端盖朝向芯轴 2-1 的端面中心还设置有带内齿的中心凹孔(以下简称凹孔),如图 4 中所示的右侧端盖 2-2b 上的凹孔 2-2b-3 。本实施例中,两端盖的凹孔设置于伸出其所在端面侧的凸台上。相应的芯轴端面则设置容纳该凸台的止口。
在所述两端盖的外侧端面(即远离芯轴 2-1 的端面)侧,沿该端面的中心设置有向外伸出的伸出轴。如图 1 中所示的右侧伸出轴 2-2b-5 和如图 4 中所示的左侧伸出轴 2-2a-5 。其中,左侧伸出轴 2-2a-5 与敏感元件相连接,右侧伸出轴 2-2b-5 外周设置有齿,与卷簧相连接。
本实施例中,所述的卷收器还包括如图 4 中所示的扭力杆 3 ,所述扭力杆 3 呈杆状,在其两端和中部沿周向均设置有外齿。
扭力杆 3 与所述卷轴 2 结构如图 2 、 3 和 4 所示,扭力杆 3 插入并穿过所述芯轴 2-1 的通孔 2-3 之中,且其轴向中部的外齿与所述芯轴 2-1 的通孔 2-3 内壁设置的内齿相啮合。左侧端盖 2-2a 和右侧端盖 2-2b 分别从左右两侧覆盖于芯轴 2-1 的两端部,且相应位置的限力销与销孔相对应。所述扭力杆 3 的两端分别插入所述左右端盖的凹孔之中,且其端部外齿与相应凹孔的内齿相啮合。本实施例中,如图 4 所示,在所述两端盖的凸台与芯轴 2-1 的止口之间还设置有减磨环 4b 。该减磨环 4b 一般采用低摩擦塑料制成,可以为端盖 2-2 与芯轴 2-1 的相对端面之间配合的止口位置提供过渡,使止口位置的金属面不会直接接触,避免了金属面相互摩擦造成的胶合作用对扭力杆正常工作的影响。
如图 4 所示,端盖内侧外沿设置有环形凸台(图 4 中示出的右侧端盖上的环形凸台 2-2b-6 ),在所述芯轴 2-1 的端面相应位置设置有与环形凸台相配合的避让止口;通过设置环形凸台和避让止口结构,可减小芯轴 2-1 端面与端盖相对旋转时的摩擦面积,从而降低芯轴与端盖之间的摩擦力,提高限力效果的稳定性。
所述卷轴 2 整体设置于所述框架 1 之中,且卷轴 2 上两端盖分别置于框架 1 侧壁的通孔之中。自由状态时,所述卷轴 2 可旋转浮动设置于所述卷收器框架 1 之中,其端盖上的外齿与卷收器框架 1 上通孔的内齿不接触。卷轴 2 由其端盖两端外侧的伸出轴所支撑,卷轴 2 可以自由转动,实现织带的缠绕和释放。而在锁紧时,所述卷轴 2 两端盖的外齿与所述框架 1 上相应位置内齿相啮合,卷轴 2 无法转动。
此外,本发明的上述实施例中,在所述卷收器框架的通孔上设置内齿段 1-3 ,且内齿段 1-3 的位置为缠绕于卷轴上的织带的牵引方向所对应的位置。相对于通孔整圈均设置内齿的结构,本实施例的结构能可保证在锁止时卷轴被锁止在确定的位置,即设置内齿段 1-3 的位置。
本实施例的卷收器中,其扭力杆 3 的两端设置于卷轴的两端盖处,而未穿出端盖,即扭力杆沿轴向的长度不大于所述卷轴轴向长度。相对于背景技术中的扭力杆,本实施例的扭力杆长度缩短。被缩短的部分被设置于端盖外侧的伸出轴所代替。发生碰撞时,织带带动所述芯轴旋转,进而带动扭力杆转动。而两端盖被锁止在框架上,两端盖同时啮合扭力杆的两端部,使得扭力杆的两端部无法转动。而扭力杆 3 中部通过中部的周向外齿与芯轴 2-1 的内齿啮合,使其承受织带的拉力,而两端部则由于端部外齿与端盖 2-2 内端面的齿轮的啮合关系而被固定;当织带的拉力达到一定的程度时,该扭力杆 3 发生扭转形变,从而使得芯轴 2-1 发生一定角度的转动,释放部分织带,该扭力杆 3 的扭转形变特性能够将织带适当放出,使织带对人体的束缚力控制在一个预订值,避免了过大的束缚力对人体的损伤;同时,织带又不会放出过长的距离而造成对人体束缚的失效。该扭力杆长度缩短;这使得扭力杆不易发生弯曲变形,且不受来自于两侧端盖之外的其它约束,扭力杆整体受力状况得以简化,使用过程更为安全稳定;并且,扭力杆不易发生弯曲变形,能够使芯轴和端盖之间的相对角度得到保持,不会引起芯轴和端盖之间的局部金属摩擦和胶合。
此外,本实施例中,由于扭力杆长度缩短,以及端盖内侧凸台和芯轴的止口设置,其仅仅承受来自于芯轴的作用力和端盖的反作用力,避免扭力杆直接承受织带牵引力,因而其受力状况简单且可控,能够根据需要设计满足限力要求的限力销,且其在使用过程中安全稳定。进一步的,扭力杆中段扭转,更易于产生均匀分布的变形,避免局部应力过高而断裂失效;同时,左右两侧分别承受一半的限力值,可以减小扭力杆所需的直径。由于扭力杆的材质需要满足特殊的扭力要求,其成本高,制造要求高,本实施例中采用短的扭力杆可明显节约成本。
其次,本发明的实施例中,在所述卷轴 2 的芯轴两端设置的限力销 2-6 如上所述,在卷轴 2 锁止状态时,芯轴 2-1 由于收到来自安全带织带的拉力,会相对两侧端盖产生旋转趋势,而所述限力销 2-6 以及扭力杆 3 中部的外齿 3-1 会阻止其旋转。限力销 2-6 受到端盖与芯轴 2-1 的剪切力。在发生碰撞时,织带牵引力存在迅速的由小变大的牵引力加载过程。在此过程中,当牵引力小于限力销 2-6 的承受阈值时,所述芯轴 2-1 所承受的牵引力加载在限力销 2-6 上,所述扭力杆 3 不承担或者不主要承担该牵引力;当该牵引力值增大到超过限力销 2-6 的承受阈值时,限力销 2-6 就会折断,扭力杆 3 开始完全承担通过芯轴 2-1 传来的织带的牵引力,进而才会发生扭力杆 3 的扭曲变形过程。故限力销 2-6 可以调节该安全带的限力阈值。
在本实施例中,所述扭力杆 3 中部的外齿设置有缺齿口,称为避让齿缺;如图 11 和图 5 中所示的避让齿缺 3-1-1 。图 10 为中部外齿具有避让齿缺 3-1-1 的扭力杆插入芯轴 2-1 中其外齿部与芯轴通孔相配合的示意图。由图 10 可以看出,所述避让齿缺 3-1-1 于扭力杆 3 上设置的位置满足该扭力杆 3 插入芯轴 2-1 的通孔后,避让齿缺 3-1-1 对准或大致对准芯轴 2-1 上设置的用于穿过并固定织带 6 的固定槽 2-4 (如图 4 中所示)。该固定槽 2-4 为扁长型通孔,其设置满足织带穿过方向垂直于所述芯轴 2-1 的中心轴,并需要尽可能的接近所述中心轴。所述避让齿缺 3-1-1 为织带 6 穿过固定槽 2-4 提供了让位空间,以避免在该处设置齿牙引起织带 6 与该齿牙干涉,并导致织带 6 在该处远离芯轴 2-1 中心线,而不利于织带 6 在拉紧时芯轴 2-1 的稳定。在本发明的实施例中,所述的扭力杆 3 还设置有防错齿缺。如图 5 所示,扭力杆 3 的其中一侧端部 ( 本实施例中为以右侧设置为例 ) 设置防错齿缺 3-2b-1 ,而另一侧则不必设置该缺齿口。相应的,在该端的卷轴端盖上的凹孔也需要设置相配合的结构。如图 4 中所示的,在端盖 2-2b 的凹孔 2-2b-3 中设置的相对应的防错口 2-2b-4 。设置上述防错齿缺 3-2b-1 的原因在于,由于存在上述避让齿缺 3-1-1 ,所述扭力杆 3 必须以适当的角度插入芯轴的通孔 2-3 ,防错齿缺 3-2b-1 能够确保装配时插入扭力杆 3 的操作一次成功。
图 6 示出的为图 5 所示的扭力杆 3 左侧端部 3-2a 的端部齿形,图 7 示出了扭力杆 3 左侧端部 3-2a 插入左侧端盖 2-2a 的凹孔的配合图;图 8 为图 5 所示的扭力杆 3 右侧端部 3-2b 的端部齿形,可以看到其端部设置的防错缺口 3-2b-1 ,图 9 示出了扭力杆 3 右侧端部 3-2b 插入右侧端盖 2-2b 的凹孔的配合图。
在扭力杆 3 右端设置所述的防错缺口 3-2b-1 导致左右两端的齿数不同,进而会导致在扭杆杆 3 扭曲时两端承受的扭力不再相同。为此,本发明中通过如下的方式解决该问题。
设置扭力杆 3 位于中部的外齿 3-1 向右侧端部 3-2b (即设置防错缺口的端部)倾斜,使扭力杆 3 中部的周向外齿齿面向设置防错齿缺 3-1-1 一端整体偏移。 图 11 和图 12 分别示出了扭力杆 3 的立体图和剖面图,由图 11 和图 12 可以看出齿 3-1-2 倾斜的情形。通过设置外齿 3-1 向右侧倾斜,有利于平衡芯轴 2-1 施加于该扭力杆 3 上的力,使其整体受力平衡。
需要说明的是,上述的实施例一中,是以扭力杆沿轴向不伸出芯轴两侧端盖为例进行说明的。但是本领域技术人员应当明白,本申请背景技术中所记载的卷收器中的扭力杆也可以应用于此,相应的端盖中心设置通孔。这里不再展开论述。
第二实施例
本实施例中的卷收器与上述第一实施例所不同的是,其中的扭力杆为分开的两段式结构,如图 13 示出的卷轴部件与扭力杆装配的部件分解图。
本实施例中,扭力杆包括同轴设置的两段:第一段 3a 和第二段 3b 。所述的两段轴向长度相同,在每一段的端部沿轴向均设置外齿。组为一体时,两段扭力杆其中两端对接在一起,端面相抵接,且相对端的外齿齿牙相对应,不错齿。相对接的两端的外齿整体相当于第一实施例中扭力杆的中部的周向外齿。其作用以及与芯轴的连接方式与上述第一实施例相同。两段扭力杆的另外两端分别插入卷轴的端盖的凹孔中,连接方式同上述第一实施例中所记载的相同,这里不再赘述。此外,在所述两段扭力杆相对接端部的外齿上均设置避让齿缺,且两避让齿缺位置相同并共同对应于芯轴上穿过并固定织带端部的固定槽。该避让齿缺与所述第一实施例中扭力杆中部外齿的避让齿缺作用相同,这里不再赘述。本实施例中除扭力杆之外的其它部分与上述的第一实施例相同。
将扭力杆设置为分立的两段具有如下效果:将两个相同直径或者不同直径的扭力杆段组合使用,可组合出多个限力值,从而可采用较少的扭力杆形成具有多个限力值的卷收器,满足不同汽车厂商对安全带限力值的不同要求。如图 14 和 15 分别示出了相同直径扭力杆段和不同直径扭力杆段组为扭力杆的示意图。另外,也可以使用相同材质或者不同材质的扭力杆组合使用,同样可以获得不同的限力效果。
此外,由于扭力杆是采用特殊材质并通过冷镦工艺加工而成,对于每一直径的扭力杆,都要有单独的模具,其制造设备以及模具昂贵。采用本实施例的两段式扭力杆,可以实现有限的加工模具加工出的扭力杆段组合出具有多个限力值的扭力杆,从而可减少开模数量,节约制造成本。并且,较短尺寸的扭力杆更便于加工,加工合格率更高,每个模具的成本也相对更低。
此外,改变扭力杆段的材质和改变直径可同时使用,以组合出更多变化。这里不再赘述。
第三实施例
本实施例的卷收器中,扭力杆同样为分开的两段,图 16 为本实施例的扭力杆的其中一杆段的结构示意图;图 17 为本实施例中两段式扭力杆与卷轴其它部件装配为一体时的剖面示意图;
请参考图 16 和图 17 ,本实施例中,扭力杆为杆状,且所述扭力杆在轴向同样为分开为两段。在每一段的两端均设置有周向外齿,请参考图 16 ,该扭力杆段 3a 两端部设置有外齿 3a-1 和外齿 3a-2 。所述两段扭力杆组为一体时,两段扭力杆其中两端对接在一起,端面相抵接,且相对端的外齿齿牙相对准,不错齿,构成整体的扭力杆。
与上述第二实施例所不同的是,本实施例中所述两段扭力杆沿轴向的有效长度不相同。所述有效长度是指扭力杆或杆段去除两端部外齿所在轴段之外的部分的轴向长度。如图 17 中所示,扭力杆的第一杆段 3a 较长,第二杆段 3b 较短,二者长度不相同。该不同的有效长度是在扭力杆设计中特意设计的,并非制造公差所致。本实施例的卷收器的其它结构可以与上述的第二实施例相同,这里不再展开论述。
本实施例中,扭力杆中部周向外齿两侧杆段在轴向上的有效长度不同,该扭力杆应用于安全带后,在芯轴转动时,有效长度较短的杆段由于变形更大而首先断裂失效,这一过程使该扭力杆的限力值出现明显变化。在该断裂失效发生之前,扭力杆以其全部的有效长度抵抗织带拉力,因而限力值相对较高,该阶段实现如图 21 所示的限力值较高的第一级限力;在所述断裂失效发生之后,芯轴继续在织带拉动下转动,直到有效长度较长的杆段在达到断裂转动圈数而断裂,在上述阶段实现了图 21 所示的限力值较低的第二级限力;在该阶段,由于有效长度较短的杆段已经断裂,承担织带拉力的只有尚未断裂的杆段,因此,该阶段的限力值较小。在上述过程中,安全带实现了碰撞过程中的递减限力效果,可更有效的保护安全带使用者。而上述的第一实施例和第二实施例中的限力式安全装置为恒力限力式,也称为一级限力式或单级限力式,其限力值与时间的特性曲线如图 19 所示。
此外,改变扭力杆段的有效长度、材质和改变直径可同时使用,以组合出更多变化。这里不再赘述。图 17 中扭力杆两杆段不但有效长度不同,其直径也不相同。
本实施例的其它部分可以与上述的第二实施例相同,这里不再赘述。
第四实施例
本实施例中卷轴的扭力杆,位于该扭力杆中部的周向外齿的两侧杆段在轴向上的有效长度不同。本实施例的扭力杆为如图 18 中所示的一体式,而非如第三实施例中的分段式。本实施例的卷轴的其它方面与上述的第三实施例相同,这里不再展开论述。
第五实施例
本实施例中,用于安全带的卷收器同样包括框架、卷轴和扭力杆;其中,框架与上述实施例 1 中可以相同。卷轴如图 22 、 23 和 24 中所示。其中图 22 为卷轴及扭力杆装配的部件分解图;图 23 为卷轴沿其轴向的剖视图;图 24 为图 23 中的局部放大图。
请参考图 22 、 23 和 24 ,本实施例中,所述卷轴 2 包括芯轴 2-1 和可分离设置于所述芯轴 2-1 两端的端盖:第一端盖 2-2a 和第二端盖 2-2b 。所述第一端盖 2-2a 的结构以及与芯轴 2-1 的装配关系与上述第一实施例和第二实施例相同。所述第二端盖 2-2b 朝向所述芯轴 2-1 的端面侧中央设置有具有内螺纹的螺纹孔 2-2b-3 ,且所述螺纹孔 2-2b-3 为盲孔。特别的,在本实施例中,如图 22 中所示,所述螺纹孔 2-2b-3 设置于伸出其所在端面侧的凸台 2-2b-4 上。与此相应的,在芯轴 2-1 的相应端面侧需设置有容纳该凸台 2-2b-4 的止口。
本实施例中,卷收器所述扭力杆 3 在轴向分开为两段,称为第一杆段 3a 和第二杆段 3b 。在每一杆段的两端均设置有外齿。在所述两段扭力杆组为一体时,两段扭力杆其中两端对接在一起,端面相抵接,且相对端的外齿齿牙相对准,不错齿,构成整体的扭力杆。位于扭力杆的两端对接端部的外齿与所述芯轴 2-1 的通孔内设置的内齿相配合,如图 22 中所示。
位于扭力杆的其中一外端部的外齿与本实施例的卷收器的上的第一端盖 2-2a 上的凹孔内齿相配合。而位于扭力杆另一外端部的外齿与如图 22 中所示的环形齿圈 8 的内孔 8-1 内齿相配合。本实施例中,所述扭力杆 3 沿轴向的长度不大于卷收器卷轴的轴向长度。需要说明的是,在本说明书的描述中,若涉及扭力杆,除非明确说明是某一段扭力杆,均是指由上述两段组合而成的整体。
本实施例中,所述环形齿圈 8 的内孔设置有整圈的内齿,该内齿如上所述,与扭力杆的一外端部相配合。外周沿周向设置有外螺纹,该外螺纹与所述第二端盖 2-2b 上的螺纹孔 2-2b-3 的内螺纹相配合。
装配时,扭力杆 3 插入并穿过所述芯轴 2-1 的通孔 2-3 之中,且其轴向中部的外齿与所述芯轴 2-1 的通孔 2-3 内壁设置的内齿相啮合。第一端盖 2-2a 和第二端盖 2-2b 分别从左右两端覆盖于芯轴 2-1 的两端部,相应位置的限力销与销孔相对应。所述扭力杆 3 的其中一端插入所述第一端盖 2-2a 的凹孔之中,其端部外齿与相应凹孔的内齿相啮合;另一端插入所述环形齿圈 8 的内孔中,并与其内孔的内齿相啮合。所述环形齿圈 8 通过其外周螺纹旋入所述第二端盖 2-2b 的螺纹孔 2-2b-3 中,构成所述第二端盖 2-2b 的一部分,且螺纹并未旋紧,留有一定圈数(如一至两圈)的螺距。也就是说,所述扭力杆 3 一端与所述第一端盖 2-2a 通过内外齿相啮合,另一端通过环形齿圈 8 与所述第二端盖 2-2b 相旋合。
所述卷轴整体设置于所述框架之中,设置方式如上述的第一实施例中卷轴设置。
本实施例的卷收器工作过程如下:在发生碰撞时,织带带动所述芯轴 2-1 旋转,扭力杆 3 中部通过中部的周向外齿与芯轴 2-1 的内齿啮合,使其承受织带的拉力,带动扭力杆 3 转动。而由于在织带拉紧时,芯轴 2-1 的两端盖会被锁止在框架上,其中第一端盖 2-2a 与扭力杆 3 的其中一端盖相啮合,使得扭力杆该端部被固定而无法转动,另一端部通过与之啮合的环形齿圈与第二端盖相旋合,并保留一定圈数的螺距而可旋转。也就是说,在织带的拉力达到第一限力值时,与第一端盖 2-2a 啮合的端部固定不动,而与第二端盖 2-2b 相旋合的端部以及整个扭力杆均可发生一定的转动,这使得扭力杆 3 的第一杆段 3a 受力而发生扭转变形,进而使得芯轴 2-1 发生一定角度的转动,释放部分织带,该扭力杆 3 的扭转形变特性能够将织带适当放出,实现第一级限力。随着织带继续对芯轴施加拉力,扭力杆 3 与第二端盖 2-2b 相旋合的端部螺纹被旋紧,该扭力杆 3 端部不再旋转,在织带拉力达到第二限力值时,第二杆段 3b 开始受力,此时,第一杆段 3a 和第二杆段 3 b 同时受力,均发生旋转,织带又被释放出一部分,从而实现了第二级限力。由于第一级限力的限力值由第一杆段 3a 决定,而第二级限力的限力值由第一杆段 3a 和第二杆段 3b 同时决定,故第二级限力值大于第一级限力值,即本实施例的卷轴实现了递增式限力,图 20 示出了递增限力式安全装置限力值与时间的特性曲线。递增式限力的安全装置对于没有其他安全措施(例如安全气囊)同时保护的情形下,有着特别重要的意义。例如汽车后排乘客,或者儿童座椅等一般不安装安全气囊的位置,使用上述递增式限力的安全带会起到更好的保护作用。原因在于:在后排没有安全气囊的情形下,发生碰撞事故时,不能任由乘客大距离的前倾,需要在较小的一级限力释放部分织带的后,增加限力值,使得织带被拉出时需要克服更大的扭力,以限制乘客前倾的距离,避免碰撞前部座椅或汽车其它部位,而较小的一级限力则避免可过大的束缚力对人体的损伤。
此外,本实施例中,扭力杆 3 为分段式,其两段的有效长度可不同。所述两段扭力杆的直径和材质也可以不同。分段的扭力杆可降低制造难度,减少制造成本。此外,也便于组合出不同扭力等级的限力效果。
在上述的实施例中,所述扭力杆 3 端部通过与之啮合环形齿圈 8 与第二端盖 2-2b 旋合相连接。在本发明的另外实施例中,还可以将所述环形齿圈 8 与所述第二端盖 2-2b 设置为一体成型,或者不设置该环形齿圈 8 ,而直接在扭力杆 3 该端部设置与螺纹孔 2-2b-3 相配的外螺纹。当然,这在一定程度上会增加扭力杆 3 的制造难度。
此外在本发明的另外实施例中,所述扭力杆 3 也可不必为分段式,其也可以是一体式,这里不再赘述。
此外, 需要说明的是,上述的实施例中,是以扭力杆沿轴向不伸出芯轴两侧端盖为例进行说明的。但是本领域技术人员应当明白,本申请背景技术中所记载的卷收器中的扭力杆也可以应用于此,此时,所述扭力杆沿轴向的长度大于所述卷轴在轴向的长度。相应的端盖中央需设置为带内螺纹孔通孔(对第二端盖而言)或带内齿通孔(对第一端盖而言)。这里不再展开论述。
本发明还保护一种安全带总成,该安全带总成使用了上述实施例所述卷收器,并能够获得上述实施例的卷收器所带来的有益效果。卷收器与织带以及其它相关零配件的装配可以参看现有的技术,这里不再展开论述。
以上所述仅是本发明的优选实施方式,应当指出,对于本技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明原理的前提下,还可以做出若干改进和润饰,这些改进和润饰也应视为本发明的保护范围。
