Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a motor vehicle inflatable restraint system, and more particularly to an inflator having a pilot valve to control the flow of pressurized gas from a high pressure vessel into an air bag of the inflatable restraint system.
  • Inflatable restraint systems to protect motor vehicle occupants from injury in the event of a collision have been incorporated into motor vehicles in response to enacted legislation and public demand for safer motor vehicles.
  • Air bags have been widely demonstrated to be highly effective in motor vehicle frontal collisions by reducing the degree of injury to passengers of vehicles equipped with such systems.
  • an airbag inflates upon detection of sudden deceleration indicative of a frontal collision to protect the passengers of the vehicle from forceful contact with hard surfaces in the vehicle interior.
  • the inflatable restraint system is installed in the hub of the steering wheel for driver protection with an additional inflatable restraint system being installed in the dashboard for front seat passenger protection becoming increasing popular as standard equipment.
  • Inflatable restraint systems have also been installed in the doors of motor vehicles to protect against side impact collisions, in the seat backs of the front seats to protect rear seat passengers in the event of a frontal collision, and in the headrest portion of the seats to provide full head protection in any type of collision.
  • the typical inflatable restraint system includes an inflator, an airbag, deceleration or impact sensors and triggering electronics.
  • the air bag is a folded, expansible bag constructed of suitable fabric.
  • the inflator is connected to the interior of the air bag.
  • the most common inflator in use in motor vehicles is of the pyrotechnic type which contains a solid propellant, such as sodium azide.
  • the triggering circuit ignites the sodium azide propellant, which in turn rapidly generates a hot gas discharge filling and inflating the air bag.
  • the air bag inflates, it escapes from its enclosure and expands, for example, in front of the driver, cushioning the driver as the driver is thrown forward by the impact and prevents the driver from striking the hard interior surface of the vehicle.
  • hot gas inflators currently command a 100% market share for motor vehicle inflatable restraint systems
  • the limitations and disadvantages associated with inflating an air bag with the hot gas from sodium azide and other types of pyrotechnic inflators are well known and documented in the art.
  • Sodium azide is a known hazardous toxic chemical.
  • gas at very high temperatures is released that can inflict severe burns to the occupant.
  • Other limitations and disadvantages of the pyrotechnic inflator technologies include explosions, transportation concerns, environmental issues, and chemical degradation. Accordingly, there is a need for an inflatable restraint system that is not dependent upon a pyrotechnically generated hot gas.
  • the cold gas inflator was designed to have proper bag filling characteristics at the low temperature extremes, in a high temperature environment the bag would fill to an unacceptably high pressure level possibly causing tearing at the seams or a burst, resulting in loss of energy absorption of the occupant.
  • the airbag did not burst, the higher pressure would produce an unacceptably very "hard” air bag, possibly causing injury to the occupant of the vehicle when in forceful contact with the air bag. Both of these extreme situations are unacceptable limitations and disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the hybrid inflator uses both a compressed source, which is affected by temperature extremes to the same degree as a stored gas inflator, and a solid propellant to mitigate the effects of ambient temperature, has been developed but has not been commercially accepted.
  • the solid propellant is used to assist in the total gas output which varies less with temperature.
  • the overall temperature dependent pressure variance of the hybrid design is less than the conventional pure stored gas design.
  • the cost of the hybrid inflator is much greater than either the hot gas or the cold gas inflator since it incorporates the inflation mechanism from each. Accordingly, the hot gas inflator has become the commercially accepted prior art device because it was initially demonstrated to reduce these temperature dependent pressure variances to acceptably low levels and offer the greater overall performance and occupant protection.
  • Another limitation associated with the prior art cold gas inflator is that its output flow of gas during the initial vessel opening is, by nature, very violent and aggressive. When the gas is released unregulated into the air bag it can cause high stress induced loading in the bag itself or to the occupant, if the occupant is close to the air bag as it deploys. It is important, therefore, to provide some means of regulating the gas from the compressed gas source into the air bag during the initial vessel opening stage.
  • a limitation in general that extends to all inflatable restraint systems is that the inflator is designed to pressurize the airbag independent of the ambient environment or other variables, conditions and parameters which exist during a collision.
  • An example of possible crash variables, conditions and parameters are as follows:
  • the presently available inflators will deploy the airbag to the same magnitude in every crash with no dependence on any of the previously mentioned variances which occur in all crashes. Therefore, an occupant whose size and weight is considerably different from this median range will experience less than ideal decelerating characteristics from the airbag. The smaller and lighter occupant will have a tendency to rebound off the airbag, where injury and even death from this rebound is typical. Deaths caused to infants and small children from the deployment of airbags are the current focus of media inquiry. The larger and heavier occupant can deflate the entire bag, and with the remaining energy impact the steering wheel or dashboard causing injury which the ideal size and weight occupant would not otherwise suffer.
  • Another example of a recent attempt to address the above identified limitations and disadvantages of the prior art inflators is to provide a dual stage in conjunction with weight sensors to detect the weight of the occupant proximate the airbag. If the weight sensor detects the occupant weight below a threshold weight, only one stage will deploy, thereby reducing inflation pressure yet providing sufficient energy absorbing protection to the small occupant.
  • the dual stage inflator effectively doubles the cost of the inflator since two separate sources of solid propellant or cold gas are required along with dual triggering electronics.
  • Yet another example of a recent attempt to address the above identified limitations and disadvantages of the prior art inflators is to provide a mechanical valve at the output of the inflator in conjunction with various sensors which detect one or more of the variables, conditions or parameters described above.
  • a logic circuit or processor may then detect the sensor conditions and command an actuator or motor to adjust the valve element thereby controlling the flow rate at the output of the inflator and the inflation rate and pressure of the deployed airbag.
  • Such a system could adjust for any of the variables, conditions or parameters in real time from before and after the onset of the collision.
  • the reliability and operability of such a system in real world crashes has not been demonstrated.
  • the collision may destroy the logic or processor electronics or the mechanical valve may become physically deformed by the collision forces, in either event causing a failure of the inflatable restraint system.
  • an inflatable restraint system that overcomes on or more limitations and disadvantages of the prior art discussed hereinabove. Specifically there is a need for a cold gas inflator which is temperature compensating. Additionally there is a need for a cold gas inflator which regulates the output pressure and inflation rate of the airbag. Furthermore, there is a need for a cold gas inflator which provides a valve without any need for external circuits or actuators to achieve variable inflation rates.
  • an inflator comprises a vessel to store an immediately releasable pressurized gas and a valve including a housing and a moveable member.
  • the housing has an internal chamber, an inlet orifice and an outlet orifice. Each of the inlet orifice and the outlet orifice are in fluid communication with the chamber to define a flow path from the inlet orifice to the outlet orifice through the chamber.
  • the inlet orifice is adapted to receive the gas from said vessel upon release of the gas.
  • the moveable member is disposed within the chamber and is normally biased in an initial position.
  • the moveable member has a first end, a second end, an outer portion disposed in slideable engagement with the housing and an open portion disposed in the flow path.
  • the moveable member defines a first volume in the chamber between the housing and the first end and a second volume in said chamber between the housing and the second end wherein a selected one of the first volume and the second volume is in fluid communication with the flow path.
  • the outer portion is disposed in a partially restrictive arrangement with a portion of at least one of the inlet orifice and the outlet orifice to determine an initial cross sectional area of said flow path.
  • the moveable member is controllably displaced in response to pressurized gas being present in the flow path and communicated at a preselected rate into a selected one of the first volume and the second volume to develop a pressure differential between the first volume and the second volume.
  • the moveable member is displaced from the initial position in response to the pressure differential.
  • the portion of the at least one of the inlet orifice and the outlet orifice in the restrictive arrangement with the outer portion is varied upon displacement of the moveable member thereby varying the cross sectional area of the flow path.
