Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bus rollover collision safety, in particular to a bus rollover collision energy absorption structure with high efficiency and reasonable energy absorption characteristics in a rollover collision. Background Art

[0002] With the construction of expressways and the rapid development of the road transport industry, road traffic accidents have become the main cause of major casualties, serious economic losses and strong social repercussions. Among them, bus rollover collision accidents are recognized as the culprit for major casualties and economic losses. The existing bus frame is composed of 6 large structures (left and right side frame structures, front and rear side frame structures, roof structure and chassis structure), and the six parts are connected by welding. The connection between the left and right side frame and the roof frame is the first position to contact the ground when the bus rolls over. The force on the body structure of the bus during the rollover collision is approximately a lateral horizontal impact load. The torque generated under its action is mainly borne by the torque formed in the closed loop structure of the body structure. The lateral displacement generated is mainly composed of the lateral displacement caused by the bending deformation of the closed loop structure and the axial deformation of the beams and columns that constitute the closed loop structure. Therefore, when a bus rolls over, the energy is mainly absorbed by the bending deformation of the side wall pillars and the roof beams in the closed loop structure. Since this energy absorption method is inefficient, it often causes the side wall frame to deform too much and invade the living space, seriously threatening the safety of the passengers. The bus superstructure strength requirements (GB / T17578) stipulate that when a bus rolls over on a test bench 800mm high, the bus structure must not invade the living space ( Figure 4 ). To meet this requirement, bus companies strengthen the side wall structure to prevent the occupant survival space from being invaded during a rollover collision. However, due to unreasonable structural strength matching, the energy during a rollover collision is not absorbed promptly and effectively by the energy absorption box and is transferred into the occupant survival space, causing occupant injuries. Therefore, the existing bus structure has the following main shortcomings:

[0003] (1) During a rollover collision, the existing bus structure absorbs energy mainly through the bending deformation of the side pillars and roof crossbeams that form a closed loop structure. This inefficient energy absorption method causes the side pillars to deform too much and invade the living space, seriously threatening the safety of passengers.

[0004] (2) In order to meet the requirements of the upper structure strength of buses stipulated by laws and regulations, existing buses have greatly enhanced the strength of the closed loop structure to ensure that the occupant's survival space is not invaded. However, due to the unreasonable matching of structural strength, the acceleration during the collision is too large, causing greater damage to the occupants. In addition, the increase in structural strength will lead to an increase in the weight of the entire vehicle, the center of gravity height and the manufacturing cost. The invention patent with the Chinese patent authorization announcement number: CN105383569A and the authorization announcement date: March 9, 2016 discloses a double-gradient strength bus pillar structure. The structure consists of a longitudinal gradient strength column and a transverse filling gradient density foam material. It can ensure that during the rollover of the bus, the collision force of the key components of the closed loop structure of the bus matches the strength of the corresponding position, so that the various components of the bus side are more evenly stressed, avoiding excessive plastic deformation of the bus side and invading the survival space. However, the collision energy is mainly absorbed by the bending deformation of the closed loop structure, and the energy absorption efficiency of the structure is not improved and the peak acceleration during the collision is not reduced;

[0005] (3) The existing bus structure has an unreasonable energy transfer path and low energy absorption efficiency during rollover collision. During rollover collision, the collision energy is mainly transferred to the side pillars through the roof crossbeam in the closed loop structure, and the energy is absorbed by bending deformation, resulting in excessive deformation of the side pillars and invasion of the living space. To solve this problem, some bus skeleton structures are equipped with closed loop reinforcement structures. For example, the utility model patent with the Chinese patent authorization announcement number: CN202806893U and the authorization announcement date: March 20, 2013 discloses a closed loop reinforcement structure for tourist buses to increase the stiffness of the closed loop structure during rollover and reduce the deformation of the bus structure during rollover. However, these methods still reduce the deformation by increasing the strength, and do not fundamentally reduce the energy transmitted to the living space, and increase the mass of the vehicle.

[0006] (4) The existing bus structure is not designed with a dedicated rollover collision energy absorption structure, resulting in the collision energy being directly transferred to the bus structure, causing the bus structure to undergo large deformation or large collision acceleration, which in turn causes damage to the passengers in the vehicle. To solve this problem, some patents have proposed methods of adding energy absorption structures to the side window pillars of buses. For example, the invention patent with the Chinese patent authorization announcement number: CN105172899A and the authorization announcement date: December 23, 2015 discloses a bus energy absorption window pillar assembly. The structure can absorb a certain amount of energy and reduce the deformation of the window pillar. However, due to the low efficiency and low energy absorption of this energy absorption method, it fails to effectively suppress the energy from being transmitted into the living space. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present invention provides an energy absorbing structure for a bus rollover collision, the structure is located in a connection area between a left side wall and a right side wall and a roof structure, specifically in a closed loop structure in the area, the energy absorbing structure absorbs collision energy through efficient axial plastic deformation rather than inefficient lateral deformation, so that when the bus rolls over, the energy absorbing area between the first column of the bus side wall, the upper end of the second column of the side wall and the roof cross beam first contacts the ground and absorbs most of the energy generated by the collision, thereby reducing the collision acceleration and the bending deformation of the side wall column to the greatest extent, ensuring that the occupant injury during the collision is minimized, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of the existing bus body structure.

[0017] The closed-loop structure is designed based on the concept of energy management, rationally optimizes the collision energy distribution and transfer path, fully considers the stress characteristics of bus rollover collision and the structural characteristics of bus frame structure, uses efficient energy absorption mode, and designs energy absorption structure for bus rollover collision, so that the performance of the whole vehicle is optimized. Specifically, it includes the following aspects:

[0018] 1. The energy absorption structure makes the rollover collision energy distribution more reasonable and effectively ensures the survival space of the passengers. By analyzing the rollover collision process and the energy transfer path, the energy absorption structure is designed at the location where the rollover collision occurs to absorb most of the energy generated by the collision, so that the lateral deformation of the side pillars of the bus is as small as possible to ensure the survival space of the passengers;

[0019] 2. The energy absorption structure can effectively reduce the acceleration during rollover collision. By designing a rollover collision energy absorption structure, the peak value of collision acceleration can be reduced, and the damage to passengers can be reduced while ensuring that the living space is not invaded;

[0020] 3. The rollover collision energy absorption structure has better robustness. Considering the uncertainty of load during rollover collision, the energy absorption box is arranged in a wide angle range, which has better adaptability to the constantly changing load during collision;

[0021] 4. The rollover collision energy absorption structure has better stability.

[0022] 5. The energy absorption method of this structure is more efficient and reasonable.

The present invention absorbs energy by adopting the efficient axial crushing deformation method, ensuring that the collision energy absorption is effectively increased under the premise of a slight increase in the structural mass;

[0023] 6. This structure can effectively compensate for the asymmetry of the vehicle body rigidity and ensure the symmetry of the vehicle structure performance. The asymmetric arrangement of the underframe diagonal braces can effectively compensate for the asymmetry of the rigidity of the bus frame structure caused by the single-sided door opening, ensuring the symmetry of the vehicle structure performance.

According to the requirements of the national standard GB / T17578, when a bus rolls over on a rollover platform with a height of 800mm, the upper structure of the bus cannot invade the living space. Figure 2 The upper space of the bus is the occupant survival space, and point A is the initial grounding point when the bus rolls over.

[0039] See also Figure 5 — Figure 7, the side roll collision energy absorption structure 04 includes a diagonal brace beam 041, a bent beam 042, a first energy absorption box 043, a second energy absorption box 044, a third energy absorption box 045, and a fourth energy absorption box 046. Both ends of the diagonal brace beam 041 are welded to both ends of the bent beam 042; both ends of the first energy absorption box 043, the second energy absorption box 044, the third energy absorption box 045, and the fourth energy absorption box 046 are respectively welded to both ends of the diagonal brace beam 041 and the bent beam 042; the diagonal brace beam 041 is a "day"-shaped hollow steel pipe with a cross-sectional dimension of 80 - 100 mm in height, 40 - 50 mm in width, and 1.5 - 2 mm in thickness. The beneficial effect of this design is that the energy absorption box structure can efficiently absorb collision energy during the collision process; the bent beam 042 is a "day"-shaped hollow steel pipe with a cross-sectional dimension of 40 - 50 mm in height, 40 - 50 mm in width, and 1 - 1.5 mm in thickness; the first energy absorption box 043, the second energy absorption box 044, the third energy absorption box 045, and the fourth energy absorption box 046 are all composed of rectangular cross-section thin-walled trapezoidal steel pipes.

The beneficial effect of this design is that it can enable the energy absorption box to adapt to different collision loads, thereby effectively increasing the stability of the structure. In this embodiment, the diagonal brace beam 041 is a "day"-shaped hollow steel pipe made of a square steel pipe with a cross-sectional dimension of 40 mm in height, 80 mm in width, and 2 mm in thickness, and the bent beam 042 is a "day"-shaped hollow steel pipe with a cross-sectional dimension of 40 mm in height, 40 mm in width, and 1 mm in thickness. The first energy absorption box 043, the fourth energy absorption box 046, and the diagonal brace beam 041 form a triangle △mni, where point n is directly above point A, which is the ground contact point of the vehicle body at the moment of collision on the inner side of the bent beam 042, and the included angle ∠mni between the first energy absorption box 043 and the fourth energy absorption box 046 is 41°; the third energy absorption box 045 is perpendicular to the diagonal brace beam 041 and forms a right triangle △lnk with the fourth energy absorption box 046; the second energy absorption box 044 and the third energy absorption box 045 intersect at point k, and the second energy absorption box 044 is perpendicular to the bent beam 042.

[0040] Refer to Figure 8—10. In order to accurately control its energy absorption mode and the maximum bearing capacity during axial compression, a trapezoidal induction groove is provided on the tube wall; the angle between the bottom line 0442 of the trapezoidal induction groove and the central axis 0441 of the energy absorption box on the first energy absorption box 043, the second energy absorption box 044, the third energy absorption box 045 and the fourth energy absorption box 046 is 0-26°. The induction groove is only arranged in two wider planes of the energy absorption box that are symmetrical about the central axis, and the other two planes are not provided with induction grooves. The first energy absorption box 043, the second energy absorption box 044, the third energy absorption box 045 and the fourth energy absorption box 046 are plane symmetrical structures; the depth of the trapezoidal induction groove is 5-15mm, which is formed separately by a stamping process and then spliced ​​by welding. The energy absorption box in this embodiment has a large end size of 40mm wide, 80mm high and 1.5mm thick, and a small end cross-sectional size of 40mm wide, 40mm high and 1.5mm thick.

The induction groove is only arranged in two wider planes of the energy absorption box that are symmetrical about the central axis, and the other two planes are not provided with the induction groove. The average depth of the induction groove is 10mm and the width is 15mm. The beneficial effect of such a design is that while ensuring the energy absorption efficiency of the energy absorption box, the collision acceleration is effectively reduced, and the collision stability of the energy absorption box is ensured at the same time.

[0041] Although the energy absorption device occupies a certain amount of luggage rack space, it will not affect the storage of passengers' belongings. In addition, during a rollover collision, the top of the side frame of the entire vehicle body first contacts the ground, and the collision load is mainly borne and transmitted through the side column and the roof crossbeam of the bus. Therefore, the energy absorption structure located in the closed loop structure can absorb the rollover collision energy to the greatest extent, reduce the deformation of the entire vehicle body structure and the collision acceleration, and thus effectively protect the safety of the passengers.
