摘要:
A pedestrian protecting device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a right air bag device 20R, a left air bag device 20L, G sensors 30a-30d (collision position detector), a vehicle speed sensor 32 (vehicle speed detector), a steering angle sensor 34 (steering angle detector), and an ECU 40 (controller) configured to control operations of the air bags. The air bags 22R and 22L include respective tip end portions 26 which vertically overlap each other at a middle portion of the vehicle 1 when the air bags 22R and 22L are deployed. The ECU 40 estimates a movement direction of a pedestrian who has collided with the vehicle 1. Based on a result of this estimation, the ECU 40 determines an operation target from the air bag devices 20R and 20L and an operation timing of the operation target. Based on a result of this determination, the ECU 40 controls operations of the air bag devices 20R and 20L.
摘要:
An airbag device for installing in a bonnet of a vehicle to manage energy transferred during an impact with a pedestrian. In one aspect, the airbag device comprises a housing containing an airbag and a deployable cover panel, wherein the cover panel includes an outer member coupled to a carrier member, wherein the carrier member is coupled to the airbag housing and configured to separate from the airbag housing upon inflation of the airbag. In another aspect, the airbag device comprises an airbag housing and a cover panel, the cover panel being separable from and tethered to the housing so as to limit displacement of the cover from the housing.

A vehicle pop-up hood device (20) includes a hinge base (24), a first arm (26) that is coupled to the hinge base (24) via a first pin (HP1), a second arm (28) that is coupled to the first arm (26) via a second pin (HP2), and an actuator (30) that is coupled to the first arm (26) via a first coupling shaft (B3) and coupled to the second arm (28) via a second coupling shaft (B4). The first coupling shaft (B3), the second coupling shaft (B4), and the second pin (HP2) are disposed at a vehicle front side and a vehicle width direction inner side with respect to the first pin (HP1). The actuator (50) is inclined toward the vehicle width direction inner side on progression toward the vehicle front side in vehicle plan view, and respective axial lines of the first coupling shaft (B3), the second coupling shaft (B4), and the second pin (HP2) are orthogonal to the actuator (30) in vehicle plan view.

The present disclosure relates to a hinge arrangement (11) adapted to be located at an end portion (15, 17) of a bonnet (5) of a vehicle (3) and being transitable between a normal state and a deployed state. The hinge arrangement comprises a hinge portion (19), a bracket portion (21) and a deployment guiding element (23). The hinge portion comprises a first member (25), a second member (27) and a hinge pivot axis (A1) providing a hinged connection between the first member and second member. The bracket portion is arranged to be in a fixed position relative to the first member during movement in the hinged connection. Further, the bracket portion is arranged to be translationally displaced as a whole at least in a vertical direction in relation to the first member of the hinge portion during the transition of the hinge arrangement between the normal state and the deployed state, the deployment guiding element being adapted to control the transition, the hinged connection being inactive during the transition. The hinge arrangement further comprises a lift limiter (37, 51) adapted to provide a displacement stop for the deployment guiding element when the hinge arrangement has reached the deployed state.
