Novel hinge structure and automotive using same

Abstract

The invention provides a novel hinge structure and an automobile using the same. Injury to the head of a pedestrian can be relieved effectively, particularly under the circumstance of small crumple space. The novel hinge structure comprises a seat, a connector and a swing arm, wherein the seat comprises an upper seat body and a lower seat body; the upper seat body is detachably connected with a mounting block; a through hole is formed in the mounting block; an escape hole is formed in the upper seat body; a dividing structure is arranged on the inner wall of the through hole, and divides the through hole into a first hole and a second hole; a spring is arranged in the second hole; the connector penetrates through the first hole and the escape hole; and when the force which is applied to the dividing structure by the connector exceeds a preset value, the dividing structure is damaged and fails, thus, the connector crumples along the second hole and extrudes the spring, and the spring isextruded by the connector to generate opposite acting force.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hinges, in particular to a novel hinge structure and an automobile adopting the novel hinge structure. Background technique [0002] Along with popularizing of automobile, the problem of collision between pedestrian and automobile easily occurs in the driving process of automobile, thereby can cause pedestrian and hood (claiming engine cover again) to collide. In the prior art, the engine hood is fixed on the vehicle body through hinges, and the opening and closing of the engine hood is realized through the hinges to ensure that the engine hood moves within a reasonable opening angle. The support positioning is convenient for viewing and maintenance of parts in the engine room. However, the structural form of the hood hinge will have a greater impact on the size of the collision damage, so the need for pedestrian protection collision needs to be considered in the design of the hinge. [0003] In the r...

However, the structural form of the hood hinge will have a great impact on the size of the collision damage, so the need to protect pedestrians from collisions should be taken into account when designing the hinges

[0003] In the related art, a collapse structure is usually integrated on the hinge. When the pedestrian collides with the car, the collapse structure is destroyed to buffer the collision force, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting the pedestrian. However, when the collapse structure is destroyed, it is necessary to Re-replacing the hinges will result in an increase in repair costs
