The specific embodiment:
In the automobile construction theory, the appropriate design of body structure is the very important link of vehicle safety design-calculated, and one of main safety method of frontal crash of vehicles is exactly to utilize the conquassation distortion of automotive front to absorb energy, alleviates crash acceleration.Body drawing in the past, in the time of guaranteeing that automobile bumps, front structure is wanted absorption Impact energy as much as possible, makes in the scope that the power that acts on the occupant and acceleration/accel drop to regulation; On the other hand, prevent rigid elements intrusion operator'ies compartment such as bearing circle, driving engine, change speed gear box again.These two aspects are mutual contradiction under certain vehicle commander's restriction, the latter is limited in the body forward structure deformation distance in the limited scope again, according to formula W=FS, when deformation distance S one timing, the energy W that absorbs is big more, then impact force F is big more, just can not reach the requirement of automotive safety rules.For solving above-mentioned contradiction, the present invention is provided with a crash energy absorption equipment in the auto body anterior locations, make the moment increase buffering energy-absorbing of automobile before collision apart from S, be out of shape to absorb bigger collision energy W by the conquassation of automotive front energy absorption device, with minimizing impact force F, thereby reduce the extent of damage of automobile and the impact that the occupant is subjected to.
The present invention has designed a crash energy absorption equipment according to said method, Fig. 1, Fig. 2 have showed Application Example of the present invention, as shown in the figure, it is installing one an energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7 on auto body or longeron 9, suit one thin-walled beam power absorbing tube 6 in this energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, energy-absorbing tube 6 and energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7 cross sectional shapes can be designed to cylindrical shape, square tube shape or other polygon tubular, and this structure has intensity and energy-absorbing effect preferably.Energy-absorbing tube 6 one ends are connected with bumper/spoiler 5, bottom and thrust unit 8 join, this thrust unit 8 places in the energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, between energy-absorbing tube 6 bottoms and energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7 bottoms, can energy-absorbing tube 6 be released outside the car in the moment that auto against takes place, bumper/spoiler 5 is stretched out forward, the distance between auto body front end and the bumper/spoiler 5 is increased, to increase the conquassation deformation distance of automotive front.Thrust unit 8 can be spring, or is gas generating unit (the thrust unit embodiment shown in the figure of the present invention is a spring), and the moment before auto against ignites, and the gas of generation promotes energy-absorbing tube 6 and moves.In energy-absorbing tube 6 rear ends, offer an aperture, can with the corresponding aperture fit of offering on the energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, latch 4 places in this hole, can be by outside side placed on it and the electromagnet that links to each other with the electric-control system 3 dial-out holes.On energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, also be provided with one or more position-limited levers 1, this position-limited lever 1 is connected with a spring 2, and these spring 2 normal conditions are pressured state, place energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7 front portions.As shown in Figure 1, under the automobile normal running state, energy-absorbing tube 6 is loaded in the energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, in the hole that latch 4 insertion energy-absorbing cylinder shells 7 and energy-absorbing tube 6 are offered, energy-absorbing tube 6 is placed in the energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, can not move.As shown in Figure 2, before automobile bumps, general chaufeur can be taked the emergency braking measure, produce very big acceleration/accel, electric-control system just can detect precarious position in real time, electromagnet 3 energisings, attract latch 4 to move up, make it break away from energy-absorbing tube 6 and energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7, at this moment, because thrust unit 8 effects, energy-absorbing tube 6 reaches the front of energy-absorbing cylinder shell 7 very soon under it promotes, simultaneously, the spring 2 that is in pressured state promotes position-limited lever 1 and moves, its end is extend into after the end of energy-absorbing tube 6, can not move backward to guarantee energy-absorbing tube 6.Like this, the protruding end portion of energy-absorbing tube 6 just can provide bigger energy-absorbing space, and during collision, the distortion of energy-absorbing tube 6 external part generation folds absorbs automobile kinetic energy, and automobile and occupant are protected.Adopt structure of the present invention, bigger energy-absorbing space can be provided, reduce crash acceleration, increase the distortion energy-absorbing, can guarantee occupant's living space again.
