protecting it from the steering wheel during the crash.
Front Passenger’s Air Bag
At the moment of the accident, it effectively
protects the head and chest of the front passenger
from hitting the windshield and the dashboard.
Coiled cable
To ensure the turning range of the steering wheel
without damaging the connection harness of the
air bag assembly, coiled harness is used between
the steering wheel and the steering post, that is,
the harness is installed in a coiled spring.
Sensor
Senior is one of the key components in the air bag
system, which is designed to detect and identify
the impact signals when the crash occurred, in
order to decide whether it is necessary to inflate the
cushioning air bag. The sensor is integrated in ECU.
Air Generator
The air bag system requires the air generator to
generate plenty of air to inflate the air bags in short
time (about 30ms). Meanwhile, the generated air
should be free of harm and high temperature, while
the air generator should be reliable and steady.
Air Bag
Made of nylon, the air bag is coated with
polychloroprene, to seal the air inside. When
not in use, the air bag is folded into a small bag
and placed between the upper part of the air
generator and the air bag cover. The air bag
cover is slightly embossed, so that the air bag can
easily break the cover and expand once inflated.
There is an exhaust hole at the back or on the top
of the air bag. When the driver/passenger dumps
at the air bag, the air is exhausted from the hole.
Air bag ECU
The core of the entire system, which analyzes
and compares the information from the
acceleration sensor, then accurately and quickly
decides whether to send the inflation command.
When the vehicle is heavily hit, the acceleration
