Abstract:

The top tether strap is one of the anti-reversal devices of ISOFIX type child safety seat (CSS), and its misuse will reduce the protective performance of CSS. According to the requirements of the dynamic test with anti-reversal device does not function provisioned in GB27887—2011, the use of carbon fiber reinforced plastics(CFRP)for CSS is proposed to strengthen the protection of children in the condition of the misuse of top tether strap in frontal crash.Both computer simulation and sled collision test are conducted on the Q-series dummy for 3-years-old child (Q3) to compare the injury of child dummy on the CSS of CFRP and the CSS of common plastics in the condition of the misuse of top tether strap. The results of test show that in the condition of the misuse of top tether strap,compared with the CSS of common plastics,the maximum forward displacement of Q3 dummy’s headwith the CSS of CFRP reduces by 18.49% and the chest acceleration of Q3 dummy lowers by 2.71%, strengthening the protection of children.
