Vehicle doors and sunroof glass generally have anti-pinch function. If this function is missing, it is easy to cause accidents.
According to reports, on May 1, the Fire Rescue Detachment of Guang’an City, Sichuan received an alarm saying,A young boy stuck his head out of the sunroof while playing in the car and accidentally touched the sunroof close button, causing his neck to get stuck in the seam of the sunroof of the car.The boy was crying, and the situation was urgent.
After the firefighters arrived at the scene, the parents of the little boy were asked to open the sunroof urgently with their hands to prevent them from further squeezing and causing injury to the little boy.
Finally, the rescuers found the force point and used manual hydraulic expansion pliers to expand the sunroof. After about three minutes, the rescuers gradually opened the skylight and slowly removed the little boy’s head, and finally rescued the boy safely.
In this regard, some netizens said,The lack of the glass anti-pinch function of the vehicle should be regarded as a design defect; and the parents are also responsible for the lack of strict supervision.
In addition, the lack of the glass anti-pinch function of the vehicle is a certain safety hazard for many car owners. According to the previous statistics of the vehicle quality network, about 25% of the models sold in my country are not equipped with anti-pinch function.
Previously, the Department of Control Science and Engineering of Jilin University found through experiments that the power windows are driven up and down by the on-board motor.
Under normal circumstances, it takes about 3-4 seconds for the power window to rise from the bottom to the top. Once the window lift switch is accidentally touched, even an adult wants to retract his head in such a short period of time. are children.Therefore, if such a large force is applied to the vital parts of the child, especially the neck, it can be said to be completely fatal.
To this end, the national standard also clearly stipulates in GB7258-2017 “Technical Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Safety”: From January 1, 2018, the control device of passenger cars equipped with electric windows (including electric sunroofs) shall ensure that the vehicle The window glass can be stopped reliably at any position during the movement or automatically lowered (retracted) when encountering obstacles.
