Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Gurtstraffer für ein Sicherheitsgurtsystem, mit einem in einem Gehäuse gelagerten Antriebselement, das einen Flügelansatz aufweist und auf einer Kreisbahn zwischen einer Anfangsposition und einer Endposition bewegbar ist, und einer im Gehäuse ausgebildeten Führung für ein Kraftübertragungselement, das am Flügelansatz angreift.The The invention relates to a belt tensioner for a safety belt system, with one in a housing mounted drive element having a wing approach and on a circular path between an initial position and an end position is movable, and one in the housing trained leadership for a Power transmission element, which attacks the wing approach.
Ein
derartiger Gurtstraffer ist aus der
Demgegenüber schafft die Erfindung einen Gurtstraffer, der sich durch eine variable Krafteinleitung und somit durch ein veränderliches Drehmoment auszeichnet.In contrast creates the invention a belt tensioner, which is characterized by a variable force and thus by a changeable one Torque is distinguished.
Dies wird erfindungsgemäß bei einem Gurtstraffer der eingangs genannten Art dadurch erreicht, daß der radiale Abstand der Führung vom Mittelpunkt der Kreisbahn in der Anfangsposition und der Endposition des Antriebselements unterschiedlich ist. Da der Verlauf der Führung die Bewegungsbahn des Kraftübertragungselements und damit insbesondere auch dessen Angriffspunkt am Flügelansatz bestimmt, ergibt sich durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung ein Gurtstraffer, bei dem die auf das Antriebselement bzw. auf dessen Flügelansatz wirkende Antriebskraft ihren Angriffspunkt im Verlauf der Straffbewegung ändert. Bei einem drehbar gelagerten Antriebselement bedeutet dies insbesondere, daß sich der Hebelarm der Antriebskraft ändert, wodurch ein sich änderndes Drehmoment und somit eine variable Getriebeübersetzung erzielt wird.This is inventively in a Belt tensioner of the type mentioned achieved in that the radial Distance of the guide from the center of the circular path in the initial position and the end position of the drive element is different. Since the course of the leadership the Trajectory of the power transmission element and thus in particular its point of attack on the wing approach determines, results from the inventive design a belt tensioner, in which the on the drive element or on its wing approach acting driving force changes its point of attack in the course of the tensioning movement. at a rotatably mounted drive element, this means in particular that the Lever arm of driving force changes, causing a changing Torque and thus a variable transmission ratio is achieved.
Gemäß der bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, daß sich der Abstand der Führung vom Mittelpunkt der Kreisbahn von der Anfangsposition zur Endposition des Antriebselements verringert, insbesondere kontinuierlich verringert. Auf diese Weise erzeugt der Gurtstraffer zu Beginn der Straffung, also beim Beschleunigen der Gurtwelle, ein vergleichsweise großes Drehmoment, das sich während des Straffvorgangs verringert. Dadurch wird eine schnelle Anbindung des Insassen zu Beginn des Straffvorganges sowie ein großer Gurtbandeinzug gegen Ende des Straffvorganges erreicht.According to the preferred Embodiment is provided that the distance of the guide from Center of the circular path from the start position to the end position reduces the drive element, in particular continuously reduced. In this way, the belt tensioner generates at the beginning of tightening, So when accelerating the belt shaft, a comparatively large torque, that is during the Tightening procedure reduced. This will provide a fast connection the occupant at the beginning of the tightening process and a large webbing against Reached the end of the tightening process.
Um eine kontinuierliche Veränderung des Abstands zum Mittelpunkt der Kreisbahn zu erreichen, kann die Führung annähernd spiralförmig verlaufen. Ebenso wäre es möglich, daß die Führung kreisbogenförmig verläuft, wobei in diesem Fall allerdings der Mittelpunkt des Kreisbogens nicht mit dem Mittelpunkt der Kreisbahn, auf der sich das Antriebselement bewegt, zusammenfällt.Around a continuous change the distance to reach the center of the circular path, the guide nearly spirally run. Likewise would be it is possible that the Guide circular arc runs, where in this case, however, the center of the arc is not with the center of the circular path on which the drive element moves, coincides.
Um ein rasches Ansprechen des Gurtstraffers sicherzustellen, ist vorteilhaft ein pyrotechnischer Antrieb für das Antriebselement vorgesehen. Alternativ könnte jedoch auch ein mechanischer oder elektrischer Antrieb zum Einsatz kommen.Around To ensure a rapid response of the belt tensioner is advantageous a pyrotechnic drive for provided the drive element. Alternatively, however, could also be a mechanical or electric drive are used.
Insbesondere bei Verwendung eines pyrotechnischen Antriebs sollte die Führung zumindest abschnittsweise als Druckkammer ausgebildet sein. Wird als Kraftübertragungselement ausschließlich Druckgas verwendet, das den Flügelansatz direkt beaufschlagt, so sollte die Führung über ihre gesamte Länge als Druckkammer ausgebildet sein.Especially when using a pyrotechnic drive, the guide should at least partially be designed as a pressure chamber. Is used as a power transmission element exclusively compressed gas used that the wing approach directly applied, so should the guide over its entire length as Be formed pressure chamber.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung handelt es sich bei dem Kraftübertragungselement um mehrere Kugeln. In bekannter Weise sind die Kugeln in einer Reihe angeordnet, wobei die erste Kugel direkt oder über ein Zwischenglied am Flügelansatz angreift. Die letzte Kugel in der Reihe wird durch den Antrieb beaufschlagt. Alternativ könnte es sich bei dem Kraftübertragungselement auch um länglichen Kolben handeln, der jedoch aufgrund der Ausgestaltung der Führung biegsam ausgebildet sein müßte. Ebenso ist es, wie bereits erwähnt, möglich, Druckgas als Kraftübertragungselement direkt auf den Flügelansatz wirken zu lassen.According to one preferred embodiment of Invention is in the force transmission element to several Balls. In a known manner, the balls are arranged in a row, wherein the first ball directly or over a pontic on the wing lug attacks. The last ball in the row is acted upon by the drive. Alternatively could it is also in the power transmission element elongated Act piston, but flexible due to the design of the guide should be trained. As well it is, as already mentioned, possible, Compressed gas as a power transmission element directly on the wing approach to let act.
Vorzugsweise ist das Antriebselement mit einem Ritzel gekoppelt oder koppelbar, dessen Drehachse gegenüber dem Mittelpunkt der Kreisbahn versetzt ist. Dadurch läßt sich auch bei einem vergleichsweise großen Kreisbahnradius ein direkter Eingriff des Antriebselements mit dem Ritzel realisieren, wodurch auf weitere Zahnräder zur Kräfteübertragung verzichtet werden kann. Alternativ ist jedoch ebenso ein Planetengetriebe denkbar.Preferably is the drive element coupled or coupleable to a pinion, its axis of rotation opposite the center of the circular path is offset. This can be done Even with a comparatively large orbit radius a direct intervention realize the drive element with the pinion, creating more gears for transmitting forces can be waived. Alternatively, however, is also a planetary gear conceivable.
