Intelligent pre-tightening locking device for safety belt and using method of intelligent pre-tightening locking device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile engineering, and particularly relates to an intelligent pre-tightening locking device for a safety belt and a using method of the intelligent pre-tightening locking device.
Background
The automobile safety belt can restrain a driver and a passenger on the seat when the automobile collides, inclines, swings or other dangerous conditions, and prevents the passenger from being thrown out of the automobile or from colliding with other hard objects in the automobile for a second time, so that the automobile safety belt plays a role in restraining and protecting, and the safety belt is an indispensable restraint device of the automobile.
The general automobile safety belt mechanism can restrain a person when the vehicle is in an emergency collision and generates severe deceleration, but the acting reliability is not high, and the main reasons are as follows: the time of severe dangerous collision of an automobile is extremely short, so that a safety belt is required to restrain a passenger on a seat within 0.1 second, but due to the fact that the structure of a common automobile safety belt is insufficient, a 60-120 mm loosening gap exists between the body of the passenger and the safety belt after the safety belt is worn, the gap is mainly generated between the safety belt and clothes loosened by the passenger, and the gap is also used for ensuring that the body of the passenger can have a certain free movement space after the passenger wears the safety belt, and the comfort is improved. However, this amount of slack in the gap does not reliably ensure the safety restraint action of the seat belt on the occupant upon collision of the vehicle, and the reliability is not high enough. In particular, the safety belts are less reliable for effective restraint of infants, children and other special occupants.
Therefore, the technical standards of automobile safety belts at home and abroad put higher requirements on the safety structure and performance, such as: national GB-14166 + 1993 standard for automotive seat belt performance and test procedures and the united states federal motor vehicle safety standard FMVSS208 regulations, which all place more technical demands on occupant protection and reduction of dangerous accidents caused by belt slack in infants, children and other special occupants, such as: the spring coefficient of a coil spring of a seat belt retractor is increased to reduce the amount of looseness, and a vehicle-sensing locking mechanism and a belt-sensing locking mechanism are added to reduce the amount of looseness between a seat belt and a passenger during a collision. However, these technical requirements still cannot make the seat belt have the functions of determining whether to need pre-tightening, whether to need locking, whether to need to remind passengers, and the like, and the real-time performance and the intelligence are reduced.
The pre-tightening safety belt for automobile is mainly one kind of explosion type pre-tightening safety belt comprising mainly electronic controller and explosion pre-tightening mechanism. When the electronic control unit judges that pre-tightening is needed, the electronic control unit sends an ignition instruction to the explosion type gas generator, the gas generator is ignited within extreme time, a large amount of high-pressure gas is generated in the conduit type cylinder, and the piston drives the transmission mechanism to rewind the safety belt, so that the safety belt is pre-tightened. Once the explosion type pre-tightening safety belt mechanism is rewound once due to a dangerous condition of a vehicle, the whole mechanism cannot be reused, and the whole mechanism needs to be replaced after explosion, so that the cost is high. Meanwhile, the recoiling force in the process of recoiling the safety belt by the explosion-type pre-tightening safety belt is mainly determined by the structure of the gas generator and the gas conduit, and the magnitude of the recoiling force, the recoiling duration and the recoiling stroke are not controlled well. The explosion-type pretensioned seat belt also has no locking mechanism during the rewinding process, and once the rewinding process is finished, the inertia forward momentum of the passenger can still pull the seat belt again to be out of the restraint. Therefore, the explosion-type pre-tightening safety belt still has the defects of low intelligent degree, complex structure, unsatisfactory rewinding and prediction effects, high use and maintenance cost, poor reliability and the like.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the common safety belt and the explosion type safety belt in the background art and provide an intelligent pre-tightening locking device for the safety belt. The device can guarantee that the vehicle can freely stretch out and draw back like ordinary safety belt when not taking place danger, and the passenger can adjust the position and the lax volume of safety belt according to self needs, guarantees to wear the travelling comfort. Once the various sensors are subjected to data fusion calculation, the possibility of danger occurrence or danger occurrence of the vehicle is judged, the control unit of the safety belt mechanism sends a pre-tightening signal, an early warning signal and a locking signal, the safety belt is rewound and tightened in the opposite direction at the moment, the looseness between a passenger and the safety belt is reduced, meanwhile, the drawing function of the safety belt is locked by the electric control locking mechanism, and the phenomenon that the looseness is increased due to the fact that the safety belt is drawn out again due to the fact that the body of the passenger rushes forward and inertia is prevented. When the deceleration of the vehicle is too large, the safety slack quantity and the clearance can prevent the passenger from generating secondary collision with the hard object in the vehicle, or from being thrown out of the safety belt and even being thrown out of the vehicle to generate an extremely dangerous condition, thereby improving the safety protection capability of the passenger.

Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by combining specific examples.
Examples
An intelligent pretensioning locking device for a safety belt is shown in figures 1, 2 and 3. The method comprises the following components: the device comprises a pre-tightening motor 1, a secondary transmission gear 2, a worm with a gear 3, a driving gear 4, a driving gear hub 5, driving claws 6 arranged in a hub groove 13, an electromagnetic coil 7, an input internal gear 8, a winding shaft 9, a winding shaft bearing 10, a shell 11, a safety belt 12, a hub groove 13, a conventional winding locking shaft 14, a return spring 15 and a spring seat 16.
The driving gear of the intelligent seat belt pre-tightening locking device and the seat belt take-up shaft transmission structure thereof are shown in fig. 2. The driving gear 4 and the driving gear hub 5 are of an integrated structure, the driving gear hub 5 is designed into a boss type structure, 4 hub grooves 13 are uniformly distributed in the driving gear hub 5 along the circumference, a spring seat 16 of a locking mechanism is arranged in the hub grooves 13, the boss type driving gear hub 5 and the locking mechanism are combined and then arranged in a safety belt winding shaft input inner gear 8, the safety belt winding shaft input inner gear 8 and a safety belt winding shaft 9 are integrated, a safety belt 12 is wound on the winding shaft 9, a driving claw 6 can drive the gear 8 and the winding shaft 9 to wind back the safety belt when pre-tightening is needed,
the other end of the furling shaft 9 of the intelligent safety belt pre-tightening and locking device is provided with a conventional furling locking shaft 14 which comprises a common safety belt coil spring, a belt sensing locking mechanism and a vehicle sensing locking mechanism (not explicitly shown in the figure), so that the intelligent safety belt pre-tightening and locking device has the basic structure and functions of a common safety belt at the same time.
The driving claw (iron core), the electromagnetic coil and the return spring of the intelligent safety belt pre-tightening locking device are shown in figure 3. The locking mechanism is used to transmit power between the drive gear 4 and the belt retractor shaft input annulus gear 8 in order to pre-tighten the belt at a particular moment. When the safety belt does not need to be pre-tightened, when the electromagnetic coil 7 is not electrified, the driving claw 6 is pulled back to the axis position along the radial direction by the return spring 15, the driving claw 6 is not meshed with the input internal gear 8, and power cannot be transmitted. When the safety belt needs to be pre-tightened, the electromagnetic coil 7 is electrified, the driving claw 6 overcomes the pulling force of the return spring 15, extends outwards along the radial direction for a certain stroke, and then is meshed with the input inner gear 8 to transmit power.
When the intelligent safety belt pre-tightening locking device is used, the intelligent safety belt pre-tightening locking device is used according to the following rules:
1. vehicle hazard situation determination
As shown in fig. 4, the intelligent seatbelt pretensioner and lock apparatus can perform pretensioner and warning control on a seatbelt in different states, that is, pretensioning in which the seatbelt is tightened in advance before a high risk occurs, and the amount of slack between the seatbelt and the body of the occupant is reduced to 0. The early warning is to give an audible prompt to the driver before a moderate danger occurs, or to repeatedly retract the safety belt to flap the body of the driver, so as to warn the driver of a dangerous situation.
The high-risk state is comprehensively judged after multi-sensor information fusion: the vehicle is in a state of being extremely unstable such as a severe deceleration, a severe yaw rate, or a large inclination angle, a state of a collision of the vehicle with a peripheral obstacle or a very close distance from the vehicle, a state of a rapid change in throttle opening degree while a driver operates a rapid steering or a rapid braking, or a state of being highly dangerous as determined by combining various factors.
The moderate dangerous state is comprehensively judged after multi-sensor information fusion: the vehicle is in an unstable state such as a large deceleration, a large yaw rate or a large inclination angle, a state in which the vehicle is likely to collide with a peripheral obstacle or the vehicle at a short distance, a state in which the driver operates to cause a large change in the throttle opening while steering or braking, or a state in which the driver determines moderate risk by combining various factors.
The state without danger refers to comprehensive judgment after multi-sensor information fusion: the vehicle is in a normal state without any dangerous state.
2. High-risk safety belt pre-tightening mode
When the vehicle is comprehensively judged to be in a high-risk condition after multi-sensor information fusion, in order to pre-tighten the slack of the safety belt to 0mm before dangerous conditions such as vehicle collision, side turning, side rolling or severe tail flicking occur, and restrains the passenger on the seat, the pre-tightening motor and the locking mechanism control unit immediately sends control instructions to the pre-tightening motor 1 and the electromagnetic coil 7, after the pre-tightening motor 1 receives the control instructions, the pre-tightening motor drives the secondary transmission gear 2, the worm with gear 3, the driving gear 4 and the driving gear hub 5 to drive the locking mechanism arranged in the hub groove 13 to rotate, after the control unit powers on the electromagnetic coil 7, after the driving dogs 6 have been extended radially outwards by a certain distance against the tension of the return spring 15, due to the design of the inclined angle of the top of the driving claw 6, the driving claw 6 can be smoothly meshed with the input internal gear 8 to transmit power. The belt take-up shaft input inner gear 8 starts to drive the belt shaft 9 to start to rewind, drives the safety belt 12 to rewind, tightens the slack and tightens the passenger in the seat, and prevents the passenger from loosening from the safety belt to generate more dangerous secondary collision when the dangerous condition of the vehicle occurs.
3. Reverse lock control of occupant forward force when pre-tightening seat belt
At the time of danger occurrence, the vehicle is subjected to rapid deceleration, and because the pretensioning motor already tightens the slack between the safety belt and the body of the passenger, the body of the passenger tilts forward due to the inertia force and drives the retractor shaft 9 to reversely transmit the inertia force. When the deceleration of the vehicle is larger, the forward-tilting inertia force can reach 2000N at most, in order to protect the gear transmission mechanism from being damaged by the overlarge forward-tilting force, the spiral lift angle of the worm 3 is structurally designed to be smaller than the equivalent friction angle between the gear 4 and the worm 3, so that self-locking between the gear 4 and the worm occurs, the gear 4 can not transmit the forward-tilting force of a passenger to the secondary gear transmission 2 and the pre-tightening motor 1, and the gear transmission mechanism and the pre-tightening motor are protected from being damaged by the overlarge forward-tilting force.
4. Safety belt early warning mode for moderate dangerous condition
When the vehicle is comprehensively judged to be in a moderate dangerous state after information fusion of multiple sensors, in order to remind a driver, the pre-tightening motor and locking mechanism control unit sends a pulse control signal to the pre-tightening motor 1, and the loosening amount between the safety belt and the body of the driver is intermittently tightened under the action of the pre-tightening motor and the safety belt coil spring, at the moment, the safety belt is used for beating the body of the driver, meanwhile, a sound or flashing warning signal is sent out through an instrument panel to remind the driver to pay attention to driving safety, and once the dangerous state is further developed, the pre-tightening mode is immediately converted into a high-dangerous state pre-tightening mode.
5. Hazardous condition elimination
When the vehicle is comprehensively judged to have no danger after multi-sensor information fusion, or the dangerous state is relieved without early warning or pre-tightening, the control unit cuts off the power of the pre-tightening motor 1 and the electromagnetic coil 7, the intelligent pre-tightening safety belt is restored to the standby state at the moment, the functions of the common safety belt are converted under the action of the safety belt winding and locking mechanism 14, and meanwhile warning and judgment of safety belt early warning and pre-tightening are carried out constantly.
Therefore, the intelligent pre-tightening and locking device for the safety belt has a pre-tightening mode, an early warning mode and a common mode. The three modes can be used for intelligently judging the dangerous state according to the sensor fusion information, can be instantly switched with each other in the three modes, have the functions of a common safety belt in the three modes, and have the functions of belt-sensing locking and vehicle-sensing locking.
