Belt retractor
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a belt retractor for a safety belt, having: a belt reel ( 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 ) for winding up the safety belt; a locking base ( 120, 220, 320, 420, 520, 620 ) which during normal operation is conjointly rotated with the belt reel and the rotary motion of which upon abrupt belt extraction is locked by means of a locking mechanism; and a belt force limiting installation which upon locking of the locking base permits relative rotation between the belt reel and the locking base. It is provided according to the invention that the belt retractor has a deactivation installation which after a predefined maximum relative rotary angle between the locking base and the belt reel blocks the relative rotation which is permitted between the belt reel and the locking base by the belt force limiting installation and, on account thereof, deactivates the belt force limiting installation.
1. A belt retractor for a safety belt, having:
a belt reel for winding up the safety belt,
a locking base which during normal operation is conjointly rotated with the belt reel and the rotary motion of which upon abrupt belt extraction is locked by means of a locking mechanism, and
a belt force limiting installation which upon locking of the locking base permits relative rotation between the belt reel and the locking base,
wherein the belt retractor has a deactivation installation which after a predefined maximum relative rotary angle between the locking base and the belt reel blocks the relative rotation which is permitted between the belt reel and the locking base by the belt force limiting installation and deactivates the belt force limiting installation;
wherein the belt retractor has a freewheeling gear which operates in a rotary-angle-dependent manner and which deactivates the belt force limiting installation as soon as the freewheeling gear has been rotated about a predefined maximum rotary freewheeling angle;
wherein the free wheeling gear includes at least one rotary element positioned to hold a blocking element in the belt reel, and wherein the rotary element is spring-loaded by a spring and is positioned in the belt reel so that prior to relative rotation between the belt reel and the locking base the blocking element is supported on the rotary element and is separated by the rotary element from the locking base; and
wherein the blocking element is configured to push through a hole in the rotary element by the spring force of the spring as soon as this is possible due to the blocking element and the hole being mutually aligned as a result of the relative rotation between the belt reel and the rotary element.
2. The belt retractor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein locking base includes a depression and wherein the blocking element is pushed through the hole in the rotary element into the depression in the locking base by means of the spring force of the spring as soon as the hole in the rotary element, and the depression are mutually aligned.
3. The belt retractor as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one rotary element includes an upstream rotary element and a downstream rotary element and wherein the blocking element is pushed through a hole in the upstream rotary element onto the downstream rotary element by means of the spring force of the spring as soon as the hole in the upstream rotary element and the blocking element are mutually aligned.
4. The belt retractor as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the blocking element is pushed through a hole in the downstream rotary element into the depression in the locking base by means of the spring force of the spring as soon as the holes in both the upstream and downstream rotary elements are mutually aligned.
