Seat belt retractor and seat belt device
View Patent ↗To provide a seatbelt retractor and a seatbelt device that can suppress the occurrence of abnormal noise. A seatbelt retractor 1 includes a spool 2 that retracts webbing configured to restrain an occupant, a base frame 3 that houses the spool 2 rotatably, and a lock mechanism 4 that restricts rotation of the spool 2 . The lock mechanism 4 includes a locking base 41 , a pawl 42 , a pawl spring 43 , and a lock gear 44 . The pawl 42 includes a first restraint portion 42 a that restrains movement of the pawl 42 in one rotating direction of the spool 2 while being located inside an outer periphery of the locking base 41 , and a second restraint portion 42 b that restrains the movement of the pawl 42 in an opposite rotating direction of the spool 2 while the movement is retrained by the first restraint portion 42 a.
1. A seatbelt retractor comprising: a spool that retracts webbing configured to restrain an occupant; a base frame that houses the spool rotatably; and a lock mechanism that restricts rotation of the spool,
wherein the lock mechanism includes a locking base disposed in an end portion of the spool, a pawl disposed to protrude outward from an outer periphery of the locking base a pawl spring that biases the pawl inward relative to the locking base, and a lock gear disposed coaxially with the locking base to rotate relative to the locking base,
wherein the pawl includes a first restraint portion that restrains movement of the pawl in one rotating direction of the spool while being located inside the outer periphery of the locking base, and a second restraint portion that restrains the movement of the pawl in an opposite rotating direction of the spool while the movement of the pawl is retrained by the first restraint portion, and
wherein the pawl is received in a recess provided in the spool or the locking base, and the first restraint portion is a portion in contact with a component having the recess, the second restraint portion is a portion in contact with the lock gear, and the first restraint portion and the second restraint portion form a wedge shape with respect to the component having the recess and the lock gear.
2. A seatbelt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant, a seatbelt retractor that retracts the webbing, a guide anchor provided on a vehicle body to guide the webbing, a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to the vehicle body, a buckle disposed on a side surface of a seat on which the occupant sits, and a tongue disposed on the webbing,
wherein the seatbelt retractor is the seatbelt retractor according to claim 1 .
3. The seatbelt retractor according to claim 1 , wherein the lock gear includes a cam hole and a guide wall that guide movement of the pawl, the second restraint portion is formed of the cam hole and the guide wall.
4. The seatbelt retractor according to claim 3 , wherein the cam hole and the guide wall include a first guide portion provided in the substantially circumferential direction and a second guide portion provided in the substantially radial direction, wherein the second restraint portion is formed by a surface far from the first restraint portion of the second guide portion.
5. The seatbelt retractor according to claim 4 , wherein the lock gear includes an engaging portion engageable with the component having the recess in the state in which the movement of the pawl is restrained by the first restraint portion, wherein the engaging portion is configured such that the pawl does not contact with a surface closer to the first restraint portion of a second guide portion.
6. A seatbelt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant, a seatbelt retractor that retracts the webbing, a guide anchor provided on a vehicle body to guide the webbing, a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to the vehicle body, a buckle disposed on a side surface of a seat on which the occupant sits, and a tongue disposed on the webbing,
wherein the seatbelt retractor is the seatbelt retractor according to claim 5 .
7. A seat belt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant, a seatbelt retractor that retracts the webbing, a guide anchor provided on a vehicle body to guide the webbing, a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to the vehicle body, a buckle disposed on a side surface of a seat on which the occupant sits, and a tongue disposed on the webbing,
wherein the seatbelt retractor is the seatbelt retractor according to claim 4 .
8. A seat belt device comprising: webbing that restrains an occupant, a seatbelt retractor that retracts the webbing, a guide anchor provided on a vehicle body to guide the webbing, a belt anchor that fixes the webbing to the vehicle body, a buckle disposed on a side surface of a seat on which the occupant sits, and a tongue disposed on the webbing,
wherein the seatbelt retractor is the seatbelt retractor according to claim 3 .
