Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a body and door protection fitting for a vehicle, a hood fitting including such a body and door protection fitting, a vehicle including such a hood fitting, and a method for manufacturing such a body and door protection fitting for a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Generally, the hood of a motor vehicle is arranged to protect the engine compartment of the vehicle. However, in the event of a collision, the hood may be folded, pushed, or even intrude into the windshield, which may cause serious damage to surrounding components such as the windshield, front door, and / or A-pillar. Subsequent repair or replacement of the hood and its surrounding components is usually complex, which increases the repair cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, there may be a need to provide an improved body and door protection fitting for a vehicle that restricts the movement or deformation of the hood in the event of a vehicle collision to protect the surrounding components.

[0004] This problem is solved by the subject matter of the independent claims of the present invention, with other embodiments being included in the dependent claims. It should be noted that the aspects of the present disclosure described below apply to the body and door protection fitting for a vehicle, a hood fitting including such a body and door protection fitting, a vehicle including such a hood fitting, and a method for manufacturing a body and door protection fitting for a vehicle.

[0005] According to the present invention, there is provided a body and door protection fitting for a vehicle. The body and door protection fitting includes a first protection member, a second protection member, and a sliding member. The first protection member is attachable to the inner surface of the vehicle hood at the rear edge of the vehicle hood. The second protection member is attachable to the front side portion of the body that faces the rear edge of the vehicle hood when the vehicle hood is in the closed position. The sliding member is at least partially enclosed in the second protection member and is configured to contact the first protection member when the vehicle hood is in the closed position. The sliding member is adjustable in the lateral direction relative to the vehicle hood when the vehicle hood is in the closed position.

[0006] The body and door protection assembly can be configured to protect the vehicle body and vehicle doors in the event of a vehicle collision. The body and door protection assembly can stop the movement of the vehicle hood at the rear edge of the vehicle hood. In particular, in the case of a low-speed vehicle collision, the movement of the vehicle hood in the direction of the windshield can be effectively stopped, so that damage to the windshield, front door, and / or A-pillar can be prevented. In addition, the body and door protection assembly can be easily adjusted to achieve an optimal stopping function after the vehicle hood is closed. Therefore, the body and door protection assembly can save manufacturing time and cost.

[0007] The body and door protection assembly can be substantially divided into a first part and a second part. The first part can include a first protection member, which can be fixedly attached to the inner surface of the vehicle hood facing the motor compartment of the vehicle. Preferably, the first protection member can be arranged at the rear edge of the vehicle hood, where the rear edge of the vehicle hood can face the bottom of the front windshield of the vehicle. Therefore, the rear edge of the vehicle hood can be arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. The term "front" can refer to the forward direction of the vehicle during driving. Preferably, the first protection member can be arranged on the inner surface of the vehicle hood at the lateral side of the rear edge with respect to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

[0008] The second part can include a second protection member and a sliding member. At least a part of the sliding member can be arranged inside the second protection member. The second protection member can be fixedly attached to the front side portion of the vehicle body. The vehicle body can be understood as the main support structure to which all components of the vehicle can be connected, that is, the chassis of the vehicle. For example, the vehicle hood can be pivotally mounted at the front of the vehicle body.

[0009] The front side portion of the vehicle body can refer to the lateral side of the vehicle body at the front of the vehicle body with respect to the forward driving direction of the vehicle. For example, the front door can be installed at the front side portion of the vehicle body. Therefore, if the vehicle hood installed on the vehicle body is closed, the rear edge of the vehicle hood may face the front side portion of the vehicle body. Therefore, when the vehicle hood is in the closed position, the first protection member and the second protection member can face each other.

[0010] When the vehicle hood is in the closed position, the sliding member can be in contact with the first protection member. Generally, in the case of a vehicle collision, especially in the case of a frontal collision, the vehicle hood may receive collision energy. If the collision energy is higher than the assembly tolerance of the vehicle hood at the vehicle body, the vehicle hood may be at least displaced and / or even damaged.

[0011] However, in this case, the sliding member can be adjusted by moving in a lateral direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body. Accordingly, even if the assembly tolerance of the vehicle hood at the vehicle body is exceeded due to a collision, the sliding member can adjust the lateral displacement of the vehicle hood. The assembly tolerance can be understood as the threshold of the assembly equipment, which can be the maximum mechanical stress applied to the assembly equipment without any deformation or displacement of the assembly equipment.

[0012] Therefore, the sliding member can transfer the stress applied to the vehicle hood, for example, due to a collision, to the second protection member. In other words, the stress applied to the vehicle hood and exceeding the assembly tolerance of the vehicle hood can be released to the second protection member via the sliding member. Therefore, the risk of damage to the vehicle hood due to a collision can be reduced.

[0013] In one example, the sliding member includes a sliding body and a handle. The sliding body is connected to one end of the handle and can be adjusted by the handle. The handle can include a first end and a second end. The first end of the handle can be connected to the first lateral surface of the sliding body, and the second end of the handle can be adjacent to the outer lateral surface of the first protection member, and the first protection member can be arranged on the opposite side of the sliding body with respect to the handle. In addition, the second end of the handle can penetrate the outer lateral surface of the first protection member, and it can be connected to the front side portion of the vehicle body.

[0014] The sliding body can include a first lateral surface and a second lateral surface. The first lateral surface of the sliding body can be connected to the first end of the handle, and the second lateral surface of the sliding body can contact the first protection member when the vehicle hood is in the closed position. The sliding body can move its position outward in the lateral direction of the vehicle hood along the handle to adjust the position of the vehicle hood in the lateral direction in the case of a vehicle collision.

[0015] In one example, the sliding member further includes a nut disposed through the handle. The nut is configured to hold the sliding body in a position along the handle. The nut can be a locking nut and / or a movable nut. In other words, the nut can be fixedly positioned on the handle such that the nut can limit the movement of the sliding body along the handle in the case of the lateral movement (preferably outward movement) of the sliding body. Alternatively, the nut can be movably arranged along the longitudinal axis of the handle such that the sliding body can relieve the stress transferred from the first protection member. Therefore, the nut can allow the sliding body to be held in a position along the longitudinal axis of the handle.

[0016] In one example, the sliding member includes a lateral support portion. The lateral support portion is disposed on the opposite side of the handle relative to the sliding body and is configured to block the movement of the first protective member in the lateral direction of the vehicle hood. The lateral support portion may be integrally manufactured with the sliding body. Alternatively, the lateral support portion may be independently formed from the sliding body.

[0017] The lateral support portion may be disposed on the opposite side of the handle relative to the sliding body, and it is also connected to the sliding body. The lateral support portion may be arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle. The term "substantially perpendicular" may be understood as an angle that can be in the range of 45 to 135 degrees.

[0018] When the hood is in the closed position, the lateral support portion may directly contact the first protective member. Thus, the lateral support portion may be configured to effectively capture or support the movement of the first protective member, particularly the movement in the lateral direction of the vehicle hood in the case of displacement of the vehicle hood due to a collision.

[0019] In one example, the sliding member further includes a longitudinal support portion. The longitudinal support portion is arranged substantially perpendicular to the lateral support portion and is configured to block the movement of the first protective member in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body.

[0020] The longitudinal support portion may be integrally manufactured with the lateral support portion and / or the sliding body. Alternatively, the longitudinal support portion may be formed independently of the lateral support portion and / or the sliding body. The longitudinal support portion may also be disposed on the opposite side of the handle relative to the sliding body. The longitudinal support portion may be arranged substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the handle and / or the trailing edge of the vehicle hood.

[0021] When the vehicle hood is in the closed position, the longitudinal support portion may directly contact the first protective member. Thus, the longitudinal support portion may be configured to effectively capture or block the movement of the first protective member, particularly the movement in the longitudinal direction of the body in the case of displacement of the vehicle hood due to a collision. Thus, the vehicle hood can be prevented from being intruded in the direction of the vehicle's windshield, A-pillar, and / or front door.

[0022] In one example, the first protective member includes at least one clamping element for fixedly attaching the first protective member to the inner surface of the vehicle hood. To fixedly hold the first protective member at the vehicle hood, the first protective member may include one or more clamping elements that may be directly connected to the inner surface of the vehicle hood. The clamping element may include a clip member or a locking member. Thus, the first protective member can be fixed to the inner surface of the vehicle hood without any guide pins and / or other fasteners. Alternatively, the first protective member may be fixedly attached to the inner surface of the vehicle hood by adhesion, form fit, press fit, brazing, welding, etc.

[0023] In one example, the second protective member includes a base portion and a cover portion. The base portion and the cover portion are connected to each other by fastening members. The base portion of the second protective member may be fixedly attached to the front side portion of the vehicle body to which the front door of the vehicle may be mounted. The cover portion may be attached to the base portion by a fastener or a clip member. Alternatively, the cover portion may be mounted on the base portion by a hinge member. The second protective member may at least partially surround the sliding body and the handle of the sliding member between the base portion and the cover portion.

[0024] In one example, the base portion of the second protective member includes a guide member on which the sliding member may move. The guide member may be formed as stepless such that the sliding member (preferably the sliding body) may slide smoothly on the guide member. When the sliding body is moved, friction is generated on the surface of the guide member that contacts the sliding body. Thus, the collision energy can be dissipated to overcome the friction between the guide member and the sliding body, and the guide member can allow a controlled path of the vehicle hood.

[0025] Thus, even if the base portion of the second protective member may be arranged along the curved contour of the front side portion of the vehicle body, the sliding body can be gradually pushed along the handle to avoid damaging the surrounding components of the vehicle hood. In other words, although the vehicle hood is displaced due to a collision, the position of the sliding body within the second protective member can be adjusted without any rebound.

[0026] In one example, the second protective member includes at least one fixing element that may be mounted on the front side portion of the vehicle body to fixedly attach the second protective member to the vehicle body. The second protective member (preferably, the base portion) may be fixed to the front side portion of the vehicle body by one or more fixing elements to which the front door of the vehicle may be arranged.

[0027] The front side portion of the vehicle body may include a bracket, which may be made of a metallic material such as steel. The bracket may be integrally arranged on the front side portion of the vehicle body and includes one or more bolts that may be welded to the bracket. The base portion may be fixed to the bracket by corresponding nuts. Alternatively, the base portion of the second protection member may be fixedly attached to the front side portion of the vehicle body by adhesion, form-fitting, press-fitting, brazing, welding, etc.

[0028] In one example, the body and door protection fitting further includes a sealing protection member, which may be arranged on the front side portion of the vehicle body and at least partially surround the first protection member, the second protection member, and / or the sliding member. The sealing protection member may be configured to additionally protect the surrounding components of the vehicle hood, such as the front door, the A-pillar, the windshield, etc. Therefore, the sealing protection member may be arranged between the front side portion of the vehicle body and the second protection member and at least partially, preferably completely, extend over the first protection member, the second protection member, and / or the sliding member when the vehicle hood is in the closed position.

[0029] In one example, the first protection member, the second protection member, and / or the sliding member may be replaceable individually in case of damage. After the vehicle hood is displaced due to a collision, the first protection member, the second protection member, and / or the sliding member may also be displaced or damaged. In this case, since the first protection member, the second protection member, and the sliding member may be separately manufactured and individually arranged on the inner surface of the vehicle hood and at the front side portion of the vehicle body, the body and door protection fitting may facilitate the repair of the body and door protection fitting. After the repair, the new first protection member, the new second protection member, and / or the new sliding member may be easily adapted to each other.

[0030] In one example, the first protection member, the second protection member, the sliding member, and / or the sealing protection member may include a plastic material, such as a two-component material including a thermoplastic elastomer material, which may be stretched to a moderate elongation and return to near its original shape.

[0031] According to the present invention, a hood fitting is provided. The hood fitting includes the vehicle hood and the body and door protection fitting as described above. By arranging the body and door protection fitting, the splicing, repair, and / or maintenance work of the hood fitting may be facilitated, and the body and door protection fitting may be separately manufactured and individually arranged on the inner surface of the vehicle hood and at the front side portion of the vehicle body.

[0032] According to the present disclosure, a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes the hood fitting as described above. In one example, a body and door protection fitting is disposed on a joint portion of the vehicle body where the A-pillar, the front door, and / or the rear edge of the vehicle hood are joined. The vehicle hood may be an outer-packaged hood that may be disposed directly adjacent to the A-pillar and the front door of the vehicle.

[0033] In one example, each front side portion of the vehicle body where each of the driver side and front passenger side front doors may be mounted may include a body and door protection fitting. The body and door protection fitting may stop or limit the movement of the vehicle hood and / or divert collision energy to effectively protect surrounding components. A controlled path of the vehicle hood during a collision may be ensured by adjusting a sliding member in the second protection member, which has friction to dissipate the collision energy.

[0034] According to the present disclosure, a manufacturing method for a body and door protection fitting in a vehicle is provided. The manufacturing method includes:

[0035] - Attaching a first protection member to the inner surface of the vehicle hood at the rear edge of the vehicle hood,

[0036] - Attaching a second protection member in the front side portion of the vehicle body that faces the rear edge of the vehicle hood, and

[0037] - Establishing contact between the first protection member and the second protection member through a sliding member when the vehicle hood is in the closed position.

[0038] The sliding member may be adjusted in the lateral direction relative to the vehicle hood.

[0039] It should be noted that the above embodiments may be combined with each other regardless of the aspects involved. Therefore, the method may be combined with structural features, and likewise, the system may be combined with the features of the method described above.

[0040] These and other aspects of the present embodiment will become apparent and be elucidated with reference to the embodiment in which the vehicle hood is in the closed position described below. Description of the Drawings

The vehicle body and door protection fitting 2 is arranged on a joint portion 9 of the vehicle body 7 (see Figure 2 and Figure 3 ), where the A-pillar 5, the front door 4 and / or the rear edge 8 of the vehicle hood 3 are joined. Thus, the vehicle 1 preferably includes two protection fittings 2 at each joint portion 9 of the vehicle body 7.

[0048] The vehicle body and door protection fitting 2 includes a first protective member 10, a second protective member 20 and a sliding member 30. The first protective member 10, the second protective member 20 and / or the sliding member 30 can be separately manufactured and are arranged individually in the vehicle 1. Thus, if repair is needed, each of the first protective member 10, the second protective member 20 and / or the sliding member 30 is separately replaceable.

[0049] The vehicle body and door protection fitting 2 is configured to protect the vehicle body 7 and its surrounding components, such as the front door 4, the A-pillar 5 and the front fender 6. In the event of a collision, especially if the collision energy exceeds the predetermined assembly tolerance of the vehicle hood 3, the vehicle hood 3 can be pushed in various directions. The vehicle body and door protection fitting 2 stops the movement of the vehicle hood 3 in the direction of the windshield of the vehicle 1 to avoid windshield damage and protect the front door 4 and / or the A-pillar 5. In addition, the vehicle body and door protection fitting 2 can mitigate the collision energy in the lateral direction X of the vehicle hood 3 via the sliding member 30.

[0050] The first protective member 10 is attachable to the inner surface 33 of the vehicle hood 3 at the rear edge 8 of the vehicle hood 3 (see Figure 1 ). As Figure 7 shown, the first protective member 10 includes three clamping elements 11 to fixedly attach the first protective member 10 to the inner surface 33 of the vehicle hood 3.

[0051] The second protective member 20 includes a base portion 21 and a cover portion 22 (see Figure 4 and Figure 5 ). The base portion 21 and the cover portion 22 are interconnected by fastening members 28. The fastening members include two clips 28a for fixing the base portion 21 and the cover portion 22 in the longitudinal direction Y of the vehicle body 7 and two pins 28b for fixing the base portion 21 and the cover portion 22 in the lateral direction X relative to the vehicle hood 3. The base portion 21 of the second protective member 20 includes a guide 27 on which a sliding member 30 is movable.

[0052] The second protective member 20 can be attached at the front side portion 71 of the vehicle body 7 which faces the rear edge 8 of the vehicle hood 3 when the vehicle hood 3 is in the closed position. As Figure 2 shown, the second protective member 20 includes two fixing elements 23 which can be arranged at the front side portion 71 of the body 7 to fixedly attach the second protective member 20 to the vehicle body 7.

[0053] The front side portion 71 of the vehicle body 7 includes a bracket 25 which can be made of a metallic material such as steel. The bracket 25 is integrally arranged at the front side portion 71 of the vehicle body 7 and includes one or more bolts 26 which can be welded to the bracket 25. The base portion 21 of the second protective member 20 is fixed to the bracket by corresponding nuts 26.

[0054] As Figure 5 shown, the sliding member 30 is at least partially enclosed within the second protective member 20. The sliding member 30 is configured to contact the first protective member 10 when the vehicle hood 3 is in the closed position (see Figure 4 and Figure 8 ). The sliding member 30 is adjustable in the lateral direction X relative to the vehicle hood 3 along the guide 27 of the base portion 21 of the second protective member 20.

[0055] Figure 6 The sliding member 30 including a sliding body 31 and a handle portion 32 is shown. The sliding body 31 is connected to one end 37 of the handle portion 32 and is adjustable by the handle portion 32. The sliding member 30 further includes a nut 34 arranged through the handle portion 32. The nut 34 is configured to hold the sliding body 31 in position along the handle portion 32.

[0056] As Figure 2As shown, the sliding member 30 includes a lateral support portion 35 and a longitudinal support portion 36. The lateral support portion 35 is substantially perpendicular to the handle portion 32 and is configured to block the movement of the first protection member 10 in the lateral direction X of the vehicle hood 3. The longitudinal support portion 36 is substantially perpendicular to the lateral support portion 35 and is configured to block the movement of the first protection member 10 in the longitudinal direction Y of the vehicle body 7 when the vehicle hood 3 is displaced.

[0057] Figure 7 The first protection member 10 including a lateral contact portion 12 and a longitudinal contact portion 13 is shown. In the case where the vehicle hood 3 moves in the lateral direction X of the vehicle hood 3, the lateral contact portion 12 can push the lateral support portion 35 of the sliding member 30 to lead out the collision energy via the sliding body. In the case where the vehicle hood 3 moves in the longitudinal direction Y of the vehicle hood 3, the longitudinal contact portion 13 contacts the longitudinal support portion 36 of the sliding member 30 to stop the movement of the vehicle hood 3 in the longitudinal direction Y (see also Figure 8 ).

[0058] The body and door protection fitting 2 further includes a sealing protection member 24 which can be mounted at the front side portion 71 of the vehicle body 7 and / or at the joint portion 9 of the vehicle body. The sealing protection member 24 at least partially surrounds the first protection member 10, the second protection member 20, and / or the sliding member 30 to additionally protect them when the vehicle hood 3 is displaced.

[0059] The front fender 6 further includes at least one mounting member 61 which is configured to additionally fasten the body and door protection fitting 2 at the front fender 6 to isolate the front fender 6.
