Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
When a person is riding on a vehicle or an apparatus, various safeguards are provided in order to prevent the person aboard from colliding with the vehicle or other object from leaving the vehicle or apparatus.
Typically, a seat belt is used to stably fix the lower abdomen and the chest of a person aboard the vehicle or mechanism using the seat belt. However, the degree of collision with the vehicle or with other objects increases beyond the reference level, so that the seat belt often fails to function, and in such a case, the safety of a person aboard the vehicle or apparatus is deteriorated.
Accordingly, various techniques have been developed so that the seat belt performs its function even when the degree of collision with the vehicle or with other objects is large. Among them, Retractor is the technology that is currently attracting attention.
The retractor is provided with a pre-tensioner for increasing the function and effect of the seat belt by introducing a webbing of the seat belt when the vehicle collides with a vehicle or another object, and a pretensioner And an ELR actuating part for locking one side of the spool so as not to be drawn out.
The operation of this pretensioner and the ELR actuating part can be confirmed by a graph expressing the collision performance of the vehicle, that is, a graph showing the load change applied to the occupant's body shown in Fig.
That is, the load change graph R expressing the crash performance of the vehicle shown in FIG. 1 is expressed by a load curve acting on the occupant when the pretensioner is in the preceding operation and a load curve acting on the occupant when the ELR operation portion is performing the following operation , Which confirms the operation of the pretensioner and the ELR actuator.
More specifically, the operation of the pretensioner and the ELR operation unit will be described with reference to FIG.
Generally, the pretensioner operates the piston located in the cylinder using the energy generated when the gas explodes, and the structure associated with the piston is activated as the piston is operated to rotate the spool in the reverse direction, thereby limiting the forward movement of the occupant Lt; / RTI > Therefore, the time-related numerical values shown in FIG. 1 are only displayed for example, and the numerical values for the time are also indicated to be the same for 15 to 25 milliseconds in FIG. - the load acting on the occupant gradually increases as the load curve in the vicinity increases.
However, due to the gas remaining in the cylinder after the gas has exploded in the pretensioner, an overshoot phenomenon occurs.
At this time, the overshoot phenomenon is a phenomenon in which the load sharply increases in the vicinity of 30 [ms] compared with the ideal load change graph (I) indicated by a dotted line in Fig. 1. In more detail, This is because the initial operating load of the load limiter is increased due to the pressure of the gas remaining in the cylinder when the load limiter provided to mitigate the load acting on the passenger after the webbing is locked.
Also, since the operation of the ELR operation portion is delayed due to the structural limit of the retractor after the gas explodes in the pretensioner, a locking deep phenomenon occurs.
At this time, the locking dip phenomenon is a phenomenon in which the load sharply decreases in the vicinity of 20 [ms] with respect to the ideal load change graph (I) indicated by a dotted line in Fig. 1. In more detail, There is a delay between the operation of the pretensioner and the operation of the ELR actuating part because the ELR actuating part is provided adjacent to the other end opposite to the one end of the spool with the pretensioner provided adjacent to one end of the spool It is because there is not.
As described above, when the locking depression phenomenon and the overshoot phenomenon occur sequentially in the operation of the pretensioner and the ELR operation unit, unlike the ideal load change graph I indicated by the dotted line in FIG. 1, the load applied to the body of the occupant A load is applied to the occupant, such as a steeply decreasing or increasing load change graph (R).
If such a suddenly changing load is applied to the occupant, the occupant will be exposed to the risk of unexpected injury, and further research and development is under way to solve such a problem.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a pretensioner which is smaller in size and capable of smoothly transmitting an explosive force of a gas by rotational force, thereby improving operational reliability.
Another problem is to provide a pretensioner capable of minimizing a locking deep phenomenon and an overshoot phenomenon.
The problems of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other problems not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a seat belt retractor comprising: a housing having a housing space; a housing provided in the housing space and connected to a rotation shaft of a spool on which a webbing of the seat belt is wound, A gas generator for generating an explosive force in response to an impact from the outside, a conveyance pipe having one side connected to the gas generator and the other side formed with an opening and connected to the accommodating space, And is fixed by the fixed portion in a curved shape so as to form a part of the arc, and is meshed with the pinion gear while being moved by the explosion force of the gas generator, so as to rotate the pinion gear, A formed gear is formed in the accommodating space and guides the moving path of the < RTI ID = 0.0 > It is provided by the pre-tensioner comprising a guide.
A protruding portion formed on one side of an opposing surface of the surface facing the center of curvature of the regulator and being acted upon by the gas generator; a fixed side of a surface of the regulator facing the center of curvature, A first fixing member which is broken by a gear which is moved by a gas generator; a second fixing member which is fixed by the gas generator and is fixed to the other side of the surface facing the center of curvature, A second retaining member for retaining the other end of the surface of the side opposite to the center of curvature at the end of the lever gear to support one end of the lever gear to be rotated toward the pinion gear when pressure is applied to the protrusion by the gas generator, And may further include a support member.
The surface of the lever gear which is in contact with the rotation support member is inclined so as to be inclined toward the center of curvature toward the other end so as to rotate the one end of the lever gear about the center of curvature so that the gear teeth of one end is engaged with the pinion gear, So that the other end of the lever can be pushed out of the center of curvature when the lever gear is moved.
A locker for preventing rotation of the pinion gear when an end of the rack gear is moved between the rack gear and the pinion gear when the rack gear is moved in a direction opposite to the moving direction by the explosion of the gas generator, And a trigger for releasing the locker while being pushed by the rack gear when the rack gear is rotated by the explosive force of the gas generator.
The trigger includes a hinge portion rotatably hinged to the housing at one end thereof, a push portion extending to be pushed by a rack gear moved by the gas generator at the other end, And a stopper which fixes the locker before being pushed by the rack gear and releases the locker when the rack gear is pushed by the rack gear, have.
The rack gear is fixed by the trigger before the rack gear is moved by the gas generator. When the stopper is disengaged from the trigger when the stopper is rotated, the rack gear is protruded by the elasticity of the spring, And the pinion gear.
According to the pre-tensioner equipped with the locker of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained.
First, the rack gear is formed so as to form a part of the arc, and the operation also rotates with the circular arc to rotate the pinion gear, so that the space required for the operation is small and the pretensioner can be made smaller.
Second, since the rack gear can be stably transported along the circular path by the rotation supporting portion, the operational reliability can be greatly improved, and the gear ratio can be further increased as compared with the linear rack gear.
Third, the load drop and the locking deep phenomenon that occur when the rack gear is moved by the recoil can be prevented.
