Abstract
An invention relating to a pedestrian protection airbag is disclosed. A pedestrian protection airbag according to the present invention comprises: an inflator for generating gas in the event of a vehicle collision; A cow protecting portion deployed with gas supplied from the inflator to protect the cowl; And a front filler protector extending upward from the cowl protector and developed by a gas generated from the inflator and passing through the cowl protector to protect the front filler, Wherein at least one or more inactive zones are provided in the up-and-down direction so as to separate the gas in the left-right direction and form a plurality of inner spaces of the front-pillar protecting portion.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pedestrian-protecting airbag, and more particularly, to a pedestrian-protecting airbag that protects a head portion of a pedestrian from a hard part such as a front pillar (A-pillar) and a cowl The present invention relates to a pedestrian protection air bag.
Recently, a pedestrian-protecting airbag is installed in which, when a pedestrian collides with a vehicle, the head portion of the pedestrian is released to the outside of the vehicle to protect it from a hard part such as a front pillar or a cowl of the vehicle.
Pedestrian protection In order to improve the protection performance of the pedestrian, the airbag should have a thicker cushion to ensure the distance between the head of the vehicle and the pedestrian. However, in order to increase the thickness of the pedestrian protection airbag cushion, the gas pressure inside the cushion and the number of confiscations must be increased. The inflator that supplies gas to the cushion of the pedestrian protection airbag has the problem that the higher the pressure and the confiscation, the higher the price and the larger the size becomes. In addition, in the pedestrian protection airbag of the related art, the front portion of the front pillar can be covered with a cushion to protect the pedestrian, but the side direction of the front pillar can not be covered by the cushion, so that when the pedestrian falls to the side of the front pillar, There is a problem that the performance is deteriorated. Therefore, there is a need for improvement.
Background Art [0002] The background art of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2008-0008109 (published on Jan. 23, 2008, entitled Cushion of Curtain Airbag Device).
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a pedestrian protection device which can realize a thick cushion depth while being supplied with a small amount of gas while protecting the front and rear surfaces of the front filler protecting part, Thereby providing an air bag.
A pedestrian protection airbag according to the present invention comprises: an inflator for generating gas in the event of a vehicle collision; A cowl protecting portion deployed with gas supplied from the inflator to protect the cowl; And a front filler protector extending upward from the cowl protector and developed by a gas generated from the inflator and passing through the cowl protector to protect the front filler, An inactive zone for separating the gas delivered from the protection unit in the left and right direction and forming a plurality of internal spaces of the front filler protection unit is provided in at least one or more rows in the vertical direction.
In the present invention, the front pillar protector is formed on at least one side of both sides of the cowl protector.
In the present invention, the inactive zone is formed up to the upper end of the front pillar protecting portion.
In the present invention, the inactive zone is formed by being sewn or adhered to the inside of the front pillar protecting portion.
The front pillar protecting portion may include a strap connecting the outermost both ends of the front pillar protecting portion. The outermost both ends of the front pillar protecting portion are fixed by the strap while the front pillar protecting portion is expanded. The central portion of the portion protrudes upward from both sides.
The front filler protector may further include a strap connecting the lower end of the outermost one of the front filler protector and the lower center of the front filler protector, wherein the outermost one end and the central portion of the front filler protector are fixed by the strap , The inactive zone (35) between the outermost one end and the center of the front filler protector protrudes upward.
In the present invention, at least one or more straps are formed in the lower portion of the front pillar protecting portion in the transverse direction.
In the present invention, at least one or more straps are formed in the lower portion of the front pillar protecting portion in an oblique direction.
In the present invention, the front filler protector includes: a first front filler protector positioned at a central portion; A second front filler protector formed on one side of the first front filler protector; And a third front filler protector formed on the other side of the first front filler protector.
In the pedestrian protection airbag according to the present invention, the front pillar protecting portion is divided into a plurality of front pillar protecting portions by the inactive zone, so that a projecting height capable of protecting the front pillar can be formed even if a small amount of gas is supplied.
According to the present invention, the front filler protecting part is formed in consideration of the traveling direction of the vehicle (for example, right passage) and the like, thereby protecting the high-risk front filler and reducing the production cost of the product.
According to the present invention, the front and the side surfaces of the front filler can be protected while the front filler protector separated by the strap is bent.
