  • Patent number: 11124141
    Abstract: A vehicle occupant protection device includes: a seat belt device having a selectable force limiter that is configured to switch a force limiter load from a high load to a low load; an airbag device that deploys an airbag in front of the occupant; a movement direction detector that detects a direction in which a head region of the occupant will move relative to the vehicle at the time of frontal collision; an initial position detector that detects a position of the head region prior to the movement; and a control unit that makes a determination whether or not the head region will move outside of an area of protection by the airbag based on detection results of the movement direction detector and the initial position detector and, in a case in which the determination is affirmative, maintains the high load of the force limiter load.

  • Patent number: 10967831
    Abstract: A seatbelt retractor device includes a pre-tensioner section, and a force limiter section that can change a magnitude of a load at which to start reducing tension of the retracted seatbelt. A seatbelt control ECU activates the pre-tensioner section when a deceleration G detected by a floor sensor exceeds a first threshold, and acquires a collision velocity from a radar device and sets a second threshold value to a lower value the greater the collision velocity. The seatbelt control ECU controls the starting load for tension reduction by the force limiter section to be a high load when the deceleration G has exceeded the second threshold within a determination time period after activation of the pre-tensioner section, and controls the starting load for tension reduction to be a low load when which the deceleration G has not exceeded the second threshold within the determination time period.

  • Publication number: 20200276956
    Abstract: A force limiter control system includes: a variable force limiter unit configured to change a force limiter load; a relative speed detection unit that detects a relative speed between a host vehicle and a preceding vehicle; a force limiter load changing unit that sets a lower load as the force limiter load in a case in which the relative speed is lower than a predetermined threshold value, than in a case in which the relative speed is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold value; and a low load invalidation unit that invalidates a change to the force limiter load by the force limiter load changing unit in a case in which a collision with a collision object other than the preceding vehicle has been predicted in an undetectable region in which an inter-vehicular distance L to the preceding vehicle is smaller than a predetermined distance.

  • Patent number: 10668895
    Abstract: A variable force limiter control system for a vehicle includes a variable force limiter mechanism, a relative speed sensor, an acceleration sensor and an electronic control unit. The variable force limiter mechanism is configured to change a force limiter load. The relative speed sensor is configured to detect a relative speed of the vehicle with respect to a collision object before a collision. The acceleration sensor is configured to detect an acceleration of the vehicle. The electronic control unit is configured to predict a severity of a collision on the basis of at least the relative speed. The electronic control unit is configured to control the force limiter load on the basis of both the predicted severity and the acceleration in an initial stage of the collision of the vehicle.
