Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automotive technology, in particular to an automobile architecture for improving small offset crash performance and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] The safety performance of vehicle collision is an important indicator for measuring the ability of a car to effectively protect passengers and pedestrians from injury or reduce the degree of injury in the event of an unexpected collision. With the continuous upgrading of global safety standards and the more stringent safety test standards pushed by the insurance industry for industry interests, the safety evaluation of traditional automobile bodies is facing unprecedented challenges.

[0003] In the safety crash test of an automobile, the front 25% small offset crash is considered one of the most severe challenges to the safety performance of the vehicle. This test simulates the situation that the vehicle may collide with an obstacle at a small offset angle (i.e., only 25% of the width of the front of the vehicle is in contact with the obstacle) during actual road driving. Since the collision energy is mainly concentrated on one side of the vehicle body, the impact load energy of the entire vehicle needs to be loaded on the 25% of the vehicle body structure, which puts extremely high requirements on the strength and rigidity of the vehicle body structure.

[0004] Compared with the 40% offset crash, which is borne by the single side rail, the 25% small offset crash generally cannot be directly borne by the longitudinal beam, resulting in the A-pillar (i.e., the pillar at the front of the vehicle body) being directly impacted by the obstacle. The A-pillar, as an important component of the vehicle body structure, its rigidity and strength are directly related to the performance of the vehicle in a collision. In order to improve this crash performance, the common method is to increase the material layout or optimize the wheel cover structure to improve the rigidity of the A-pillar and avoid deformation of the A-pillar and door frame.

[0005] The document with Chinese patent application number 201420204326.1 discloses a machine cabin longitudinal beam structure based on 25% offset crash design, which discloses a closed section strengthening structure between the side beam and the longitudinal beam to transfer load and reduce damage; the document with Chinese patent application number 202022798279.6 discloses a vehicle body structure based on 25% offset crash design, which discloses directly connecting the side beam and the longitudinal beam through a connecting piece to achieve multi-path energy transfer to the vehicle body and reduce the destructive force of the collision on the vehicle body; the document with Chinese patent application number 202210613403.8 discloses a vehicle body for improving offset crash performance, which focuses on strengthening the A-pillar design, including inducing grooves and inducing reinforcing ribs; the document with Chinese patent application number CN202110208456.7 discloses a 25% small offset crash vehicle body structure of an automobile, which discloses a guide surface, the purpose of which is to generate a Y-direction guide force during the collision process, so that the collision wall can slide out along the guide surface and separate from the vehicle body.

[0006] From the above patent, under the 25% offset collision condition, the longitudinal beam does not overlap with the collision barrier, so that the front longitudinal beam cannot be used as the main path of energy transmission and absorption, and from the perspective of the overall vehicle arrangement, due to the requirement of the turning diameter, the front wheel turning angle will constrain the position of the longitudinal beam, and the diameter of the coil spring is relatively large, in order to avoid the interference between the coil spring and the wheel cover during the tire jumping process, a certain distance is required to be reserved between the side beam and the front longitudinal beam, and the above requirements are the reasons why the front longitudinal beam cannot be used as the main path of energy transmission and absorption under the 25% offset collision condition.

[0034] Examples of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The examples described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] As Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the automobile structure for improving small offset crash performance of the application comprises a front compartment module, a vehicle body, a front suspension and a rear suspension, wherein the front compartment module is connected with the front suspension, one end of the vehicle body is connected with the front compartment module, and the other end is connected with the rear suspension; the front compartment module comprises a front protection cross beam 101, an A-pillar 106 and a front longitudinal beam 103, the front protection cross beam 101 is connected with the front longitudinal beam 103 through a front protection cross beam energy absorption box 102, a shock absorber tower seat 105 is arranged on the front longitudinal beam 103, a side beam 104 is arranged on the shock absorber tower seat 105, the side beam 104 is connected with the A-pillar 106, wherein one end of the A-pillar 106 away from the side beam 104 is connected with an A-pillar upper side beam 109 and a rocker beam 107, and a front baffle cross beam 108 is arranged between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the A-pillar 106. It also comprises a calf protection beam 110, which is connected with the front protection cross beam 101 through a protection beam energy absorption box 111.

[0037] The vehicle body in the embodiment is roughly the same as the traditional vehicle body structure, and the front compartment module is different, as shown in the drawings. Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the front protection cross beam 101 in the embodiment is arranged in an arc shape, which can maximize the coverage of the front protection cross beam 101 without affecting other configurations of the vehicle; the front protection cross beam energy absorption box 102 arranged can absorb energy from the front protection cross beam 101 and transfer the energy to the side beam 104.

[0038] The shock absorber tower seat 105 mounted on the side beam 104 in the embodiment is used to provide a mounting point for the chassis shock absorbing support assembly, and the shock absorber tower seat 105 is connected with the side beam 104, Figure 3 One end of the side beam 104 is connected with the front longitudinal beam 103 through a support, and the other end passes through the top of the shock absorber tower seat 105 and is connected with the A-pillar 106; in the embodiment, the area of the connection between the middle part of the A-pillar 106 and the side beam 104 is maximized to reduce the impact of the collision force conducted on the unit area of the connection.

[0039] The A-pillar upper side beam 109 connected with the top of the A-pillar 106 and the rocker beam 107 connected with the bottom of the A-pillar 106 in the embodiment are used to enhance the strength of the vehicle body structure and effectively disperse the impact force during the collision; the front baffle cross beam 108 arranged between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the A-pillar 106 is used for force transmission; compared with the traditional force transmission path, the newly added force transmission path can reduce the sharing of the traditional force transmission path, the newly added force transmission path is the front longitudinal beam 103 and the front baffle cross beam 108, which can share the collision energy of the traditional force transmission path through the side beam 104, the A-pillar 106, the rocker beam 107 and the A-pillar upper side beam 104, and through the two force transmission paths, the damage to the A-pillar 106 can be effectively reduced to ensure the safety of the passenger compartment, and at the same time, the problem of increasing multiple reinforcing members in the traditional solution is avoided, and the lightweight of the vehicle body is realized.

[0040] The calf protection beam 110 and the protection beam energy absorption box 111 in the embodiment can protect the calf of the pedestrian from serious injury when the vehicle collides with the pedestrian. When the vehicle collides with the pedestrian, the calf protection beam 110 can contact the leg of the pedestrian at a lower front contact point, guide the pedestrian upward and backward by changing the direction of the human body, reduce the risk of the pedestrian being rolled into the vehicle bottom, and reduce the direct impact damage to the leg of the pedestrian. The protection beam energy absorption box 111 can absorb the collision energy.

[0041] When the vehicle body width is D mm, the distance between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the vehicle body center axis is ≥D / 4 mm, and the distance between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the vehicle body edge is ≤D / 4 mm. As shown in Figure 4 The Y-direction size of the vehicle body is shown in the schematic view, the vehicle width is defined as D mm, the distance between the outer edge of the front longitudinal beam 103 and the vehicle body center axis is at least greater than D / 4 mm, and the distance between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the vehicle body edge is at least less than D / 4 mm. This ensures that the 25% small offset collision wall can cover the front longitudinal beam 103, so that the energy generated during the collision can be directly transmitted to the front longitudinal beam 103 through the front beam 101 and the front beam energy absorption box 102.

[0042] The preferred distance between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the side beam 104 in the embodiment is 162 mm. The distance between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the side beam 104 in the traditional architecture is generally 222 mm, while the preferred distance between the front longitudinal beam 103 and the side beam 104 in the present application is 162 mm, which reduces the distance and enables the 25% small offset collision wall to cover the front longitudinal beam 103. Due to the reduced distance, the suspension coil spring space is squeezed, and the vehicle turning diameter is also affected. Therefore, the front suspension and the rear suspension shown in Figure 5 The front suspension and the rear suspension are both plate spring type double wishbone structures, which ensure that the front and rear tires can rotate at a large angle, and eliminate the space occupation of the traditional coil spring to the shock absorber seat structure, but are not limited thereto.
