本発明は、ハウジング底板が補強されており、作動時において前記ハウジング底板側の変形が抑制されているガス発生器を提供する。 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a gas generator in which a housing bottom plate is reinforced and deformation of the housing bottom plate side is suppressed during operation.
本発明のガス発生器は、ハウジングの底板の上に第2底板部材が配置され、ハウジング底板が二重構造になっている。また本発明のガス発生器は、底板の第1穴部周縁の平板部と第2底板部材の第1貫通孔周縁の平板部が樹脂を介して接続され、底板の第2穴部周縁の平板部と第2底板部材の第2貫通孔周縁の平板部が樹脂を介して接続されている。このように本発明のガス発生器では、ハウジングの底板側が補強されているため、作動時における圧力を受けても底板および第2底板部材が変形し難くなっており、それに起因して点火器に着火電流を供給するために接続されたコネクタが緩んだり、脱落したりすることが防止されている。特にガス発生器ハウジングのコネクタ接続部(コネクタ収容部)を樹脂で形成する実施形態があるが、ハウジング底板、あるいは第2底板部材の変形によってコネクタ接続部も変形したり、損傷したりすることがあり、コネクタが抜けやすくなる場合があり、改善の余地がある。しかし、本発明のガス発生器では底板および第2底板部材の変形自体が抑制されることから改善されている。

The connector connected to supply the ignition current is prevented from being loosened or dropped. In particular, there is an embodiment in which the connector connecting portion (connector housing portion) of the gas generator housing is formed of resin, but the connector connecting portion may be deformed or damaged by deformation of the housing bottom plate or the second bottom plate member. Yes, there are cases where the connector can be easily removed, and there is room for improvement.

The inside of the inner cylinder member 70 is a housing space for the first igniter 42, and when the transfer charge is stored, the remaining space excluding the first igniter 42 is a transfer charge chamber 78. The second end opening 72 is closed by a first closing member 67 made of a seal tape attached to the inner annular portion 73 from the first combustion chamber 40 side, and in operation, the transfer charge chamber 78 and the first combustion chamber. It becomes the 1st communicating hole which connects 40.

The second communication hole 79 may be formed only at the position. The plurality of second communication holes 79 are closed from the first combustion chamber 40 side by a second closing member 77 made of a metal adhesive tape. If the second communication hole 79 is formed only at a position that does not face the second igniter 52 in the axial direction, the second closing member 77 is not directly cleaved by the combustion product of the second igniter 52. It is preferable because the pressure of the second combustion chamber 50 can be increased and the combustibility of the entire second gas generating agent 51 becomes high.

図1に示すガス発生器1における第1点火器42と第2点火器52の樹脂による固定方法を説明する。
A method of fixing the first igniter 42 and the second igniter 52 with the resin in the gas generator 1 shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
金型内において底板20を有するクロージャシェル16と第2底板部材30を図2に示すように組み合わせて配置し、さらに第1点火器42と第2点火器52を配置する。その後、樹脂部90を形成する溶融状態の熱可塑性樹脂を射出成形することで、クロージャシェル16の底板20の第1固定部22に第1点火器42が樹脂部90で固定され、第2底板部材30の第2固定部32に第2点火器52が樹脂部90で固定され、さらにクロージャシェル16と第2底板部材30が樹脂部90で固定されたものが得られる。
In the mold, the closure shell 16 having the bottom plate 20 and the second bottom plate member 30 are arranged in combination as shown in FIG. 2, and further, the first igniter 42 and the second igniter 52 are arranged. Thereafter, the molten thermoplastic resin forming the resin part 90 is injection-molded, whereby the first igniter 42 is fixed to the first fixing part 22 of the bottom plate 20 of the closure shell 16 by the resin part 90, and the second bottom plate The second igniter 52 is fixed to the second fixing portion 32 of the member 30 by the resin portion 90, and the closure shell 16 and the second bottom plate member 30 are fixed by the resin portion 90.
図1のガス発生器1をエアバッグ装置に取り付けたときの動作を説明する。本発明のガス発生器1は、第1点火器42が先に作動して、第2点火器52が遅れて作動する形態だけでなく、第1点火器42と第2点火器52が同時に作動する場合や第1点火器42のみが作動する場合においても効果があるものである。以下においては、第1点火器42が先に作動する形態により説明する。
The operation when the gas generator 1 of FIG. 1 is attached to the airbag device will be described. In the gas generator 1 of the present invention, the first igniter 42 and the second igniter 52 are operated simultaneously as well as the first igniter 42 is operated first and the second igniter 52 is operated with a delay. This is effective even when the first igniter 42 is operated. In the following, the first igniter 42 will be described based on the first operation.
第1点火器42が先に作動したとき、第1点火器42から生じた火炎などにより伝火薬室78内の伝火薬が着火燃焼して、燃焼生成物を生じさせる。伝火薬室78内に発生した燃焼生成物は、内筒部材70の内側環状部73の作用により集束されて直進して、第1閉塞部材67を破り、第2端開口部72と天板12の間にある第1ガス発生剤41を着火燃焼させたあと、天板12に衝突する。第1ガス発生剤41の燃焼により発生した燃焼ガスは、筒状フィルタ80を通過したあと、シールテープを破ってガス排出口14から排出されてエアバッグを膨張させる。第2点火器52が作動すると第2ガス発生剤51が着火燃焼され、燃焼ガスが発生する。発生した燃焼ガスは、第2閉塞部材77を破って第2連通孔79から第1燃焼室40内に流入し、筒状フィルタ80を通過してガス排出口14から排出され、さらにエアバッグを膨張させる。
When the first igniter 42 is actuated first, the transfer charge in the transfer charge chamber 78 is ignited and burned by a flame generated from the first igniter 42, and a combustion product is generated. The combustion products generated in the charge transfer chamber 78 are converged by the action of the inner annular portion 73 of the inner cylinder member 70 and go straight, break the first closing member 67, and the second end opening 72 and the top plate 12. After the first gas generating agent 41 between the two is ignited and burned, it collides with the top plate 12. The combustion gas generated by the combustion of the first gas generating agent 41 passes through the cylindrical filter 80, then breaks the seal tape and is discharged from the gas discharge port 14 to inflate the airbag. When the second igniter 52 is operated, the second gas generating agent 51 is ignited and combusted to generate combustion gas. The generated combustion gas breaks through the second closing member 77 and flows into the first combustion chamber 40 from the second communication hole 79, passes through the cylindrical filter 80, and is discharged from the gas discharge port 14, and further passes through the air bag. Inflate.
このような動作過程において、第1ガス発生剤41の燃焼時に、ハウジング10内部の圧力が上昇したとき、天板12側と伝火薬室78を経由して底板20側に大きな圧力が加えられ、天板12と底板20はそれぞれが軸X方向の外側に変形する。しかし、ガス発生器1は、底板20の上にさらに第2底板部材30が当接配置されて補強されていること、底板20と第2底板部材30のそれぞれが樹脂部90と強く結合されていることから、底板20は軸X方向外側への変形が抑制されている。このため、第1点火器42が作動したときの圧力上昇によって、第2点火器52に接続されたコネクタが緩んだり、脱落したりすることが防止されている。
In such an operation process, when the pressure inside the housing 10 is increased during the combustion of the first gas generating agent 41, a large pressure is applied to the bottom plate 20 side via the top plate 12 side and the charge transfer chamber 78, Each of the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 20 is deformed outward in the axis X direction. However, in the gas generator 1, the second bottom plate member 30 is further disposed on the bottom plate 20 to be reinforced, and each of the bottom plate 20 and the second bottom plate member 30 is strongly coupled to the resin portion 90. Therefore, the bottom plate 20 is prevented from being deformed outward in the X direction. For this reason, it is prevented that the connector connected to the second igniter 52 is loosened or dropped due to the pressure increase when the first igniter 42 is operated.
なお本発明技術をデュアルタイプのガス発生器に応用した例として、図1のように隔壁60で燃焼室が上下に分けられたガス発生器を示したが、本発明では燃焼室の配置等について限定するものではない。例えば隔壁60や筒状フィルタ80の形状と配置を変更し、第1燃焼室が底板20側に形成されているもの、およびUS 6,032,979で示されるような第1燃焼室が第2燃焼室を取り囲んでいるような構造においても、本発明技術を適用することが出来る。

It is not limited. For example, the shape and arrangement of the partition wall 60 and the cylindrical filter 80 are changed so that the first combustion chamber is formed on the bottom plate 20 side and the first combustion chamber as shown in US Pat. No. 6,032,979 surrounds the second combustion chamber. Even in such a structure, the technology of the present invention can be applied.
