Detailed Description
The following describes the embodiments of the present invention further with reference to the drawings. The description of these embodiments is provided to assist understanding of the present invention, but is not intended to limit the present invention.
Example 1
Fig. 1 shows a vehicle collision sensor of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the vehicle collision sensor comprises a first permanent magnet 1, a second permanent magnet 2 and a conductor bar 3, wherein the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 are fixed on a first part on a vehicle body, the conductor bar 3 is fixed on a second part on the vehicle body, the conductor bar 3 is positioned in a magnetic field formed between the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2, and when the first part and the second part generate relative position change due to the collision of a vehicle, dynamic electromotive force can be generated in the conductor bar 3.
When the automobile collides to enable the relative positions of the first part and the second part to change, the conductor bar 3 generates relative magnetic field movement in the permanent magnetic field formed by the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2, so that the magnetic induction line is cut to generate dynamic electromotive force, namely voltage, a voltage signal can reflect the collision strength, and corresponding response measures can be made through the signal to reduce the collision loss. The vehicle collision sensor adopts a pure physical structure to form a magnetic field, has no influence on electronic components in the vehicle, and does not need to adopt additional power supply.
The first component and the second component on the vehicle body can be any two components on the vehicle body, which can change relative positions during collision, for example, a front bumper skin 5 and a front bumper beam 4, a rear bumper skin and a rear bumper beam, a fender and a fender bracket, and the like. The specific structure of the collision sensor for the own vehicle will be described below with the first member as the front impact beam 4 and the second member as the front bumper skin 5.
Bumpers are safety devices on automobiles or some vehicles that are used to absorb and dampen external impact forces and to protect the front and rear portions of the vehicle body. The automobile anti-collision beam is characterized by comprising an outer plate, a buffering material and a beam, wherein the outer plate is an outer skin, the outer plate and the buffering material are made of plastics, the beam is punched into a U-shaped groove by plates, an anti-collision beam is usually hidden in the bumper at present, the beam is the anti-collision beam, namely, under the action of large impact force, when the elastic material cannot buffer energy, the anti-collision beam really plays a role in protecting passengers in the automobile. The anti-collision beam is a device for absorbing collision energy when a vehicle is collided, and consists of a main beam, an energy absorption box and a mounting plate connected with the vehicle, wherein the main beam and the energy absorption box are fixed at the end part of a longitudinal beam of the vehicle body, can effectively absorb the collision energy when the vehicle collides at a low speed, and reduce the damage of the impact force to the longitudinal beam of the vehicle body as much as possible, thereby playing the role of protecting the vehicle.
In fact, when the first permanent magnet 1, the second permanent magnet 2 and the conductor bars 3 are fixedly installed, the space arrangement between the bumper skin 5 and the top of the front anti-collision beam 4 is different from each other due to different vehicle types, when the vehicle collision sensor is refitted on the existing vehicle, the vehicle sensor can be flexibly arranged according to actual conditions, and when the vehicle type is newly developed, the position for installing the vehicle sensor can be reserved in advance in design.
As shown in fig. 1, the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 are both in a flat plate shape and fixed on the top of the front anti-collision beam 4, and the plate surfaces of the different-name magnetic poles are parallel and opposite to each other to form a magnetic field for placing the conductor bars 3. For convenience of arrangement, the plate surfaces of the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 may be made vertical to the vehicle body. The conductor bars 3 are made of a conductive material, have a rod shape, and are arranged in the lateral direction of the vehicle body.
According to the arrangement structure, the conductor bar 3 is positioned in a uniform magnetic field which is approximately vertical to the magnetic induction line, the bar body is also vertical to the magnetic induction line, and when the bar body moves relatively, E=BLV is based on the principle of dynamic electromotive force, wherein B is magnetic induction intensity, L is effective cutting length, V is the speed of the conductor bar relative to the magnetic field, larger dynamic electromotive force is generated, and the monitoring of subsequent signals is facilitated. In addition, the front anti-collision beam 4 and the front bumper skin 5 mainly bear the front collision impact of the vehicle, so that the deformation of the front bumper skin 5 is mainly along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the conductor bars 3 are transversely arranged, the whole bar body is more and basically the whole bar body is of an effective cutting length, and the using materials and occupied space of the conductor bars 3 are saved. The first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 can be fixedly connected with the front anti-collision beam 4 by arranging a fixing bracket.
In order to further increase the generated dynamic electromotive force voltage signal, the width of the conductor bar 3 in the transverse direction of the vehicle body is equal to the width of the front bumper beam 4, the effective cutting length L is increased, and a larger dynamic electromotive force is generated.
As shown in fig. 2, a plurality of support rods 51 are arranged on the inner side wall of the front bumper skin 5 at intervals along the transverse direction of the vehicle body, one end of each support rod 51 is fixedly connected with the front bumper skin 5, and the other end of each support rod is fixedly connected with the conductor bar 3, so that a plurality of fixed connection points with the support rods 51 are formed on the conductor bar 3 at intervals along the transverse direction of the vehicle body.
Because the length of conductor bar 3 is longer, through a plurality of bracing pieces 51 with conductor bar 3 fixed stay in the magnetic field that forms between first permanent magnet 1 and second permanent magnet 2, support firmly, bracing piece 51 is along the horizontal interval arrangement of automobile body moreover, and the optional position deformation of front bumper skin 5 like this gives conductor bar 3 with more abundant transmission for the voltage signal that produces is more obvious, the monitoring of being convenient for. In addition, five fixed connection points with the support rod 51 may be formed on the conductor bar 3 at even intervals in the lateral direction of the vehicle body.
When the conductor bar 3 generates relative movement in the permanent magnetic field generated by the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 to cut the magnetic induction line during use, the conductor bar 3 generates dynamic electromotive force, namely voltage; when the automobile is in front or rear collision, the intensity signal of the collision is detected, and the signal is input into an airbag computer. The air bag computer judges whether to detonate the inflatable element to inflate the air bag according to the signals of the collision sensor, so that a buffer cushion is formed between a driver and a steering wheel and between a front seat passenger and an instrument board, and the injury caused by hard collision is avoided.
In addition, when the first member is a rear bumper beam and the second member is a rear bumper skin, the first permanent magnet 1, the second permanent magnet 2, and the conductor bar 3 are similar to the above-described structure and mounting structure.
Example 2
According to the collision response method based on the vehicle collision sensor, when the front bumper skin 5 deforms, the conductor bar 3 moves along with the deformation, so that the magnetic induction line is cut to generate voltage. The larger the deformation of the front bumper skin 5, the more the conductor bar 3 moves, the faster the deformation of the front bumper skin 5, the faster the conductor bar 3 moves, and the final reaction has two indexes on the voltage signal, namely the duration of the generated voltage and the maximum value of the generated voltage. Therefore, the following three cases are included in the process of generating the primary electromotive force in the conductor bar 3.
① When the electromotive force starts to be generated in the conductor bar 3, the vehicle is controlled to perform safety early warning, and a prompt is sent to a vehicle driver and the surrounding environment. When an electromotive force is generated initially, the collision is indicated to be happened, and though the collision is in low-level danger, safety early warning is required to be sent immediately, and prompt is given to a vehicle driver and the surrounding environment in time.
The safety early warning modes include a mode of controlling and opening double flashing of the vehicle, controlling and sounding a whistle of the vehicle, controlling and sounding an alarm by controlling and controlling the central control of the vehicle, and the like.
② When the electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3 reaches a set voltage value or the duration reaches a set time value, the vehicle is controlled to pretension the seat belt.
When the generated kinetic electromotive force reaches a set value and the duration reaches a set value, the collision is indicated to be carried out to a certain extent, the safety belt pre-tightening is continued on the basis of the safety pre-warning, and the possible collision is prepared to be dealt with for protecting passengers. The set voltage value and the set time value are obtained and given by calibrating a vehicle collision sensor more specifically.
③ When the electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3 reaches an over-set voltage value and the duration reaches an over-set time value, the vehicle is controlled to activate the airbag at the set position.
When the generated dynamic electromotive force reaches a set value and the duration reaches a set value, the dynamic electromotive force reaches a set voltage value, the duration is not smaller than the set time value, the duration reaches the set time value, the dynamic electromotive force reaches the set voltage value at a certain moment in the duration, the fact that the collision strength is detected to be large is indicated to be in high danger, and corresponding air bags are ejected to protect passengers on the basis of safety early warning and safety belt pre-tightening.
For example, the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 are fixed on the front bumper beam 4, the conductor bar 3 is fixed on the front bumper skin 5, and the corresponding collision is a frontal collision, so that the triggered airbags mainly relate to airbag systems in front of the vehicle, and the airbags rapidly inflate and pop up to protect the head and upper body of the driver and the passenger, such as the driver and the passenger airbags, knee airbags, and the like, when the vehicle is in a frontal collision.
In addition, after the end of the set time of the primary electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3, the vehicle is controlled to close the safety precaution. The method is executed each time when the electromotive force is generated in the conductor bar 3, namely, the method is executed in a plurality of times, when the electromotive force generated in the time is finished, the vehicle response is required to be restored after a set time, such as 1min, and the restoration safety early warning is mainly needed, because the early warning is finished at the moment, and the continuous operation is not needed.

The acquisition unit may monitor the voltage across the conductor bar 3 by means of a wire connection. The control unit performs the corresponding actions in the following three cases, respectively, in the process of generating primary electromotive force in the conductor bar 3.
① When the electromotive force starts to be generated in the conductor bar 3, the vehicle is controlled to perform safety early warning, and a prompt is sent to a vehicle driver and the surrounding environment. When an electromotive force is generated initially, the collision is indicated to be happened, and though the collision is in low-level danger, safety early warning is required to be sent immediately, and prompt is given to a vehicle driver and the surrounding environment in time.
The safety early warning modes include a mode of controlling and opening double flashing of the vehicle, controlling and sounding a whistle of the vehicle, controlling and sounding an alarm by controlling and controlling the central control of the vehicle, and the like.
② When the electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3 reaches a set voltage value or the duration reaches a set time value, the vehicle is controlled to pretension the seat belt.
When the generated kinetic electromotive force reaches a set value and the duration reaches a set value, the collision is indicated to be carried out to a certain extent, the safety belt pre-tightening is continued on the basis of the safety pre-warning, and the possible collision is prepared to be dealt with for protecting passengers. The set voltage value and the set time value are obtained and given by calibrating a vehicle collision sensor more specifically.
③ When the electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3 reaches an over-set voltage value and the duration reaches an over-set time value, the vehicle is controlled to activate the airbag at the set position.
When the generated dynamic electromotive force reaches a set value and the duration reaches a set value, the dynamic electromotive force reaches a set voltage value, the duration is not smaller than the set time value, the duration reaches the set time value, the dynamic electromotive force reaches the set voltage value at a certain moment in the duration, the collision strength is high, the safety warning is carried out, and the corresponding air bag is ejected on the basis of pre-tightening of a safety belt to protect passengers.
For example, the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 are fixed on the front bumper beam 4, the conductor bar 3 is fixed on the front bumper skin 5, and the corresponding collision is a frontal collision, so that the triggered airbags mainly relate to airbag systems in front of the vehicle, and the airbags rapidly inflate and pop up to protect the head and upper body of the driver and the passenger, such as the driver and the passenger airbags, knee airbags, and the like, when the vehicle is in a frontal collision.
In addition, after the end of the set time of the primary electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3, the vehicle is controlled to close the safety precaution. The method is executed each time when the electromotive force is generated in the conductor bar 3, namely, the method is executed in a plurality of times, when the electromotive force generated in the time is finished, the vehicle response is required to be restored after a set time, such as 1min, and the restoration safety early warning is mainly needed, because the early warning is finished at the moment, and the continuous operation is not needed.
When the conductor bar 3 generates relative movement in a permanent magnetic field generated by the first permanent magnet 1 and the second permanent magnet 2 and cuts a magnetic induction line during use, the acquisition unit monitors that an electromotive force is generated in the conductor bar 3, the control unit immediately controls the vehicle to perform safety precaution, reminds a vehicle driver and surrounding environment, such as opening double flashes and whistles, continuously monitors the generated electromotive force, immediately controls the vehicle to perform belt pretension when the electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3 reaches a set voltage value or a set time duration, and controls the vehicle to activate an airbag of a set position when the electromotive force generated in the conductor bar 3 reaches the set voltage value and the time duration reaches the set time duration.
