AIRBAG DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DEPLOYMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18081250 titled 'AIRBAG DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING DEPLOYMENT
Simplified Explanation
The patent application proposes an airbag device and a method for controlling deployment of the airbag cushion towards the rear space of a seatback in the event of a vehicle collision.
- Airbag device designed to protect a passenger by deploying an airbag cushion towards the rear space of the seatback.
- Sensor part detects seating status and posture of the passenger.
- Controller changes and controls deploying status and inflation amount of the airbag cushion based on passenger's seating status and posture in a collision event.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various vehicles such as cars, buses, and airplanes to enhance passenger safety during collisions.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of providing effective protection to passengers in the rear space of a seatback during vehicle collisions.
Benefits
- Improved passenger safety during collisions - Customized deployment of airbag cushion based on passenger's seating status and posture
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized by automotive manufacturers, transportation companies, and safety equipment suppliers to enhance the safety features of their products.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in the field of automotive safety systems may include existing airbag deployment methods and systems designed to protect passengers in vehicles during collisions.
Unanswered Questions
How does the sensor part detect the seating status and posture of the passenger?
The sensor part likely utilizes various sensors such as weight sensors, pressure sensors, and motion sensors to detect the seating status and posture of the passenger.
What are the specific criteria used by the controller to determine the deploying status and inflation amount of the airbag cushion based on the passenger's seating status and posture?
The controller likely considers factors such as the passenger's weight, position, and proximity to the airbag cushion to determine the deploying status and inflation amount in response to the seating status and posture.
Original Abstract Submitted
An airbag device and a method for controlling deployment of the same are proposed. The airbag device is configured to protect a passenger by controlling an airbag cushion deployed toward the rear space of a seatback in an event of a vehicle collision, and the airbag device includes an airbag cushion deploying toward the rear space of the seatback, a sensor part detecting a seating status and a seating posture of a passenger with respect to each seat, and a controller, in an event of a collision, configured to change and control a deploying status of the airbag cushion and an inflation amount of the airbag cushion in response to the seating status and the seating posture of the passenger.
