Definitions
- the invention relates to a drive device for an occupant restraint system, in particular belt tensioners, with one of several
- the housing usually consists of a main body and a cover plate placed on an open side of this main body.
- a rotor is arranged in the interior of the housing, for example a lamella rotor or
- Rotary lobe rotor In the case of linear drives, a cylinder is held in the housing, in which a piston is slidably received. In both cases, the working chamber is formed between the housing parts joined together. The generally cylindrical receiving space for a pyrotechnic gas generator capsule opens into the working chamber.
- Housing parts are clamped together by a larger number of screws or rivets.
- an extremely high pressure which can reach 400 to 500 bar or more, is briefly generated in the receiving space of the housing.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that shortly after activation of the gas generator, due to the extremely high pressure in the receiving space of the housing, leakage losses occur which result in an uncontrolled overflow of the compressed gases into the working space. Under the high pressure load is formed by expansion of the screws or
- the invention effectively prevents the occurrence of leakage losses in the area of the receiving space and any pre-chamber that may be present.
- a sleeve surrounding the propellant charge is provided, which is inserted between the parts of the housing in a sealing manner in its receiving space.
- the sleeve forms a seal along the inner surface of the receiving space, where it seals in particular at the joint between the housing parts.
- the compressed gases released by the propellant charge are directed to the working chamber along the inner surface of the sleeve.
- Gas generator capsule receiving propellant charge is extended, it can also be used to design a pre-chamber upstream of the working chamber in order to influence the time course of the gas pressure and to adapt it to the requirements of the drive device.
- the materials and wall thicknesses of the sleeve and the gas generator capsule are preferably such that the radial expansion pressure of the gas generator capsule when they are activated, on the one hand, and by supporting the sleeve in the receiving space of the housing, on the other hand, the seal between the gas generator capsule and the sleeve is promoted. At the same time, the sleeve is pressed against the wall of the receptacle in the housing, which also increases the sealing effect there.
- the components of the housing, a main body and a cover plate are preferably produced as molded parts, for example from light metal die-casting, in order to enable efficient series production.
- the receiving space for the propellant charge is formed by two mutually opposite recesses in the main body and the cover plate. In order to facilitate the molding of the molded parts, these cutouts run out at an obtuse angle at the parting plane between the main body and the cover plate.
- the sleeve is preferably formed with two axially parallel ribs which adjoin the parting plane between the main body and the cover plate and improve the sealing effect achieved with the sleeve, especially when using a suitable plastic as the material for the sleeve.

- FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a sleeve with a gas generator capsule inserted therein;
- FIG. 13 shows an assembly provided with a sleeve, a propellant, an igniter and an outlet nozzle.
- the embodiment of a drive device for a belt tensioner shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is a rotary drive with a disk rotor.
- the drive device has a two-part housing, the main body 10 of which has a flat bottom and a peripheral wall projecting therefrom, which surrounds a rotor chamber 12, in which a lamellar rotor 14 is accommodated.
- the open side of the main body 10 is closed by a cover plate 16.
- the cover plate 16 is with the main body 10 by a larger one
- one half of a cylindrical receiving space 20 is recessed; the other half of this receiving space 20 is cut out from the cover plate 16 accordingly.
- This sleeve 24 is extended beyond the axial end of the gas generator capsule 22 and forms there an antechamber 26 which opens via a cross-sectional constriction 28 and a nozzle 30 into a working chamber 32 upstream of the rotor chamber 12.
- the gas generator capsule 22 has a thin-walled cup part, with an annular collar 22a at the outer end for axial fixing in a corresponding extension of the receiving space 20.
- Electrical connector 34 shown for connection to an electrical igniter of the gas generator capsule 22. Mechanical triggering using a detonator is also possible.
- the sleeve 24 can be of sufficient strength to withstand the expansion pressure emanating from the gas generator capsule when it is activated. But it can also consist of a relatively soft material such as aluminum.
- an annular seal 36 is additionally provided, which in an annular groove on
- the outer circumference of the sleeve 24 is inserted and bears on the inner surface of the receiving space.
- the axis of the cylindrical gas generator capsule 22 lies in the parting plane between the main body 10 and the cover plate 16.
- Sleeve 24 is supported on the inner surface of the receiving space 20.
- the wall of the gas generator capsule 22 is pressed against the inside of the sleeve 24 and this against the inside surface of the receiving space 20 by the radial component of the expansion pressure.
- a good seal is achieved between the surfaces lying one on top of the other so that leakage flows and uncontrolled outflow of the compressed gas to the working chamber 32 are prevented.
- the course of the gas pressure over time can be influenced by the design of the prechamber 26 with its cross-sectional constriction 28 and the nozzle 30 in order to achieve optimum drive power.
- the axis of the gas generator capsule 22 is parallel, but at a distance from the parting plane between the main body 10 and the housing cover 16.
- the wall parts 16a, 16b form a detour for any leakage flows, which experience a higher flow resistance.
- the drive device is a linear tensioner with a cylinder 40 and a piston 42 slidably received therein, which acts on a belt buckle 46 via a pull cable 44.
- the cylinder 40 is fixed at one end to a housing which, as in the previously described embodiment, has a main body 10 and a cover plate (not shown).
- a gas generator capsule 22 is received, which is surrounded by a sleeve and sealed by this in the housing. The sealing can be carried out in the same way as in the previously described embodiment, so that the description is not repeated.
- the sleeve 24 is a relatively thin-walled part made of a material of inferior mechanical strength. In the area of the pre-chamber 26, the sleeve 24 is supported on the inner surface of the receiving space 20.
- the sleeve 24 can consist of a plastic or a thin-walled aluminum cup. In such an embodiment, a larger number of bolts or rivets 18 may be required.
- Pre-chamber 26 a sieve 50 is arranged which prevents solid particles of the pyrotechnic charge from being thrown out and in this way ensures their complete combustion.
- the sleeve 24 is provided with a stop at the inner end of the gas generator capsule 22, which is formed by a circumferential annular shoulder 52 and forms an axial support on the peripheral edge of the bottom of the gas generator capsule 22.
- the main body 10 and the cover plate 16 are designed as molded parts, in particular as light metal die-cast molded parts.
- the recording room for the gas generator capsule 22 and the sleeve 14 are formed from two mutually opposite recesses 20a in the main body 10 and 20b in the cover plate 16.
- the cutouts 20a and 20b each run out at an obtuse angle in the parting plane T between the main body 10 and the cover plate 16.
- the cutout 20a has a greater depth than the cutout 20b, there are approximately triangular cross-sectional spaces at the parting plane T for receiving correspondingly shaped, axially parallel sealing ribs 14a, 14b of the sleeve 14 the sleeve 14 is provided with an annular groove 60 into which a sealing ring 62 is inserted.
