Embodiment Construction

[0050] According to the figures, the front module according to the invention consists of a bumper beam 1 which is connected on both sides at the front side to the front end of the longitudinal part 3 by means of a separate deformation element 2, and which is arranged between the longitudinal parts 3 and / or the deformation element 2, It consists of a radiator frame 4 carrying a cooling unit 5 .

[0051] The radiator frame 4 can be configured to be curved in the direction of the front of the vehicle, since the convex part of the convex surface can be pushed in, the radiator frame 4 provides an additional element for absorbing crash energy.

[0052] A lower frame part 6 configured as a cross member is provided in the lower region of the front module.

[0053] To hold the radiator frame 4 pivot levers 7 and 8 are provided which are hinged on both sides of the front module on the one hand to a holding element 9 fixedly connected to the respective longitudinal part 3 and on the othe...

Abstract

Forward structure of a motor vehicle includes two endwise parts disposed on both sides, a bumper beam disposed forward of and connected to the frame structure by a distortion part, and a radiator frame disposed forward of the frame structure and behind the bumper beam. First and second swing arms are connected to the radiator frame at respective first and second forward pivot axes and are connected to the frame structure at respective first and second rear pivot axes. The four pivot axes are substantially parallel to one another and substantially transverse to the vehicle, such that a frontal impact urging the bumper beam rearward against the radiator frame causes the radiator frame to pivot about the swing arms. Forward-most portions of the frame structure, immediately adjacent to the bumper beam, may take the form of deformation elements or crush cans that are designed to yield in a manner to absorb crash energy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a front module for a motor vehicle, comprising two longitudinal parts arranged on both sides, a bumper beam located in front of the two longitudinal parts and connected at the front side to the front end of the longitudinal parts by inserting a separate deformation element, and A radiator frame carrying a cooling unit is arranged between the longitudinal parts and / or between the deforming elements. Background technique [0002] It is known to design the front modules of motor vehicles so that they absorb energy in a targeted manner in the event of a crash. This applies to the protection of occupants in the event of a rear-end collision and / or frontal collision as well as the protection of pedestrians in contact with the vehicle, especially at relatively low vehicle speeds. [0003] In addition to the protection of persons, an important objective in the motor vehicle industry is to ensure that functional components such as the ...
