Explanation of terms of co-pilot airbag
The co-pilot airbag is installed in front of the co-pilot seat of the car, generally above the glove box of the instrument panel, which belongs to passive safety configuration.
When a frontal collision occurs, the front of the vehicle will be greatly deformed, and the occupants in the vehicle will dive forward under the violent inertia, which will lead to a collision with the internal parts of the vehicle. The airbag in the co-pilot position can protect the safety of the co-pilot passenger, isolate the direct collision between the head and trunk and the panel, cushion the inertia of head displacement caused by the collision, and avoid fatal injury.
Working principle of co-pilot airbag
When the sensor detects a vehicle collision, the gas generator will ignite and explode to generate nitrogen or release compressed nitrogen to fill the airbag. When the passenger touches the airbag, the collision energy will be absorbed through buffering, thus protecting the passenger.
As a passive safety device, the protective function of airbag has been widely recognized. The first patent on airbags began in 1958. 1970, some manufacturers began to develop airbags that can reduce the degree of occupant injury in collision accidents; In 1980s, automobile manufacturers began to install airbags step by step. In 1990s, the number of airbags increased sharply. After entering the new century, cars are generally equipped with airbags. Many people's lives have been saved since the appearance of airbags. The research shows that when a car with airbag device collides head-on, the driver's death rate of large cars is reduced by 30%, that of medium-sized cars by 1 1%, and that of small cars by 20%.
