Description

New energy vehicles are constantly optimized based on test results to improve the quality and performance of the vehicle.

[0003] During the test, the dummy is placed in the driving seat or other seats in the vehicle; the sensors in the dummy will record relevant data when the vehicle collides; the staff will judge the various performance of the vehicle in the collision based on the data; however, in the actual test process; the dummy still has limitations for the test process. For example, for female drivers, when women have long hair, they often choose to use hairpins to fix their hair at the back of the head. Once a collision occurs during driving, the driver's head will move forward due to inertia and collide with the open protective bag, and then rebound, causing the back of the head to hit the back of the seat, and the hairpin behind the head hits the back of the seat, which can easily cause damage to the head; it is difficult for existing dummies to simulate and record relevant data on hairpin-induced head damage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a vehicle test dummy according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a chest 1, a neck 2 is mounted on the top of the chest 1, a head 3 is mounted on the top of the neck 2, a first slot 31 is provided at the rear of the head 3, a pressure sensor 35 is mounted inside the first slot 31, a detection plate 32 is provided at the pressure-bearing end of the pressure sensor 35, a part of the detection plate 32 is embedded in the first slot 31, and the other part is located outside the first slot 31;

[0036] A plurality of plug-in slots 321 are evenly formed on one side of the detection plate 32 outside the first slot body 31. A pair of fixing slots 322 penetrating the plug-in slots 321 are formed on the upper and lower sides of the detection plate 32. A guide plate 33 is inserted into the plug-in slot 321. There is friction between the guide plate 33 and the plug-in slot 321.

[0037] The embodiment of the present invention is provided with structures such as a detection plate 32, a guide plate 33, and a pressure sensor 35; the specific working process is as follows; when performing a collision test, the staff selects a suitable clamping thickness according to the size of the hairpin, that is, selects two guide plates 33 to be inserted into the plug-in slot 321, and a part of the guide plate 33 is located outside the plug-in slot 321, and the hairpin is clamped and fixed by the two guide plates 33. When performing a collision test, the torque generated by the compression between the hairpin and the seat back is transmitted to the pressure sensor 35 through the detection plate 32, and the pressure sensor 35 transmits the data to an external computer. The staff analyzes how much damage the hairpin can cause to the driver based on the data; the actual situation of wearing a hairpin is simulated.

[0038] The upper and lower ends of the guide plate 33 are provided with card slots aligned with the fixing slot 322; the fixing slot 322 is plugged with a fixing frame 34, and the fixing frame 34 passes through the fixing slot 322, the plug-in slot 321 and the card slot; when the guide plate 33 is inserted into the plug-in slot 321, the fixing frame 34 is inserted into the fixing slot 322, the plug-in slot 321 and the card slot, thereby fixing the guide plate 33 on the detection plate 32 to prevent loosening during collision that affects the detection effect.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a pair of fixing blocks 4 are provided through the side of the detection plate 32, and the pair of fixing blocks 4 are symmetrical based on the center of the detection plate 32; one end of the fixing block 4 is located inside the first slot body 31, and the other end is located outside the first slot body 31; an electric telescopic rod 46 is provided at one end of the fixing block 4 located inside the first slot body 31, and the housing part of the electric telescopic rod 46 is installed on the inner wall of the first slot body 31, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 46 is connected to one end of the fixing block 4 located inside the first slot body 31;

[0040] A mounting groove 41 is provided on one side of the fixing block 4 facing the center of the detection plate 32, and a camera 42 is arranged inside the mounting groove 41, and the camera end of the camera 42 is aligned with the detection plate 32 and located at the center of one side outside the first groove body 31; a pair of connecting members 43 are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the camera 42, and a friction plate 44 is arranged on the end of the connecting member 43 away from the camera 42, and the friction plate 44 is pressed against the inner wall of the mounting groove 41;

[0041] During the test, the camera 42 will record the image of the hairpin at the moment of the collision. During the collision, the camera 42 will inevitably vibrate. The vibration of the camera 42 will cause the recorded image to be blurred. Therefore, the camera 42 is set in the installation groove 41. At the moment of the vehicle collision, the camera 42 drives the connecting member 43 and the friction plate 44 to move in the installation groove 41 based on the inertial effect. The friction plate 44 is decelerated by the friction between the inner wall of the installation groove 41. At the same time, the microcomputer controls the electric telescopic rod 46 to start. The electric telescopic rod 46 drives the fixed block 4 to move, and the moving direction is opposite to the moving direction of the camera 42, so that the camera 42 remains relatively still at the moment of the vehicle collision. Based on the above, the lateral inertial force on the camera 42 at the moment of the vehicle collision is gradually released, and the electric telescopic rod 46 is used to make the position of the camera 42 relative to the detection plate 32 unchanged. Therefore, the camera 42 can better maintain stability when recording the hairpin image, and the recorded image is optimized. It should be pointed out that it is difficult to completely eliminate the vibration of the camera 42 during actual testing.

[0042] The connecting member 43 is specifically an air spring; for different test vehicle speeds, the inertial force generated by the camera 42 is different. Therefore, by adjusting the air pressure in the air spring, the extrusion pressure of the friction plate 44 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 41 can be synchronously regulated, thereby adjusting the friction between the friction plate 44 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 41. The greater the specific test vehicle speed, the greater the friction between the friction plate 44 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 41, so that the acceleration to which the camera 42 is subjected at the moment of impact can effectively decelerate the camera 42 in the mounting groove 41.

[0043] A transparent baffle 45 is provided at the notch of the mounting groove 41; during the test, the hairpin may break and splash when it hits the back, and the transparent baffle 45 can block the splashing hairpin fragments, thereby preventing the camera 42 from being hit by the splashing hairpin fragments and protecting the camera 42.

[0044] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a plurality of positioning grooves 5 are provided at the top of the head 3, a magnetic block 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, a magnetic rod 52 is inserted into the notch of the positioning groove 5, and the magnetic rod 52 and the magnetic block 51 attract each other; during the test, the magnetic rod 52 is first taken out of the positioning groove 5, and then the inner lining net of the wig is sleeved on the top of the head 3, and then the magnetic rod 52 is placed above the inner lining net and inserted into the positioning groove 5, so that the inner lining net is partially embedded in the positioning groove 5, and the magnetic rod 52 is restricted in the positioning groove 5 by the magnetic force with the magnetic block 51, so that the wig is restricted to the head 3, and then the tail of the wig is fixed and bound to one side of the detection plate 32 by a hairpin, so as to meet the test needs; the wig is matched with the hairpin to make the simulation effect of the test more realistic, which is conducive to improving the test accuracy.

[0045] A second slot body 6 is provided behind the head 3 and above the first slot body 31. A driving roller 61 is rotatably provided inside the second slot body 6. A motor 62 is provided at the end of the driving roller 61. The housing of the motor 62 is partially mounted on the inner wall of the second slot body 6. The output end of the motor 62 is fixedly connected to the end of the driving roller 61. In the test, there is a situation where the head 3 needs to be painted. Specifically, by painting the head 3, the paint of the head 3 will draw a track on the protective bag when it hits, which is convenient for the staff to analyze the force situation of the head 3. The wig cannot be worn any more; therefore, a second slot 6 is provided at the rear of the head 3, and a driving roller 61 is provided inside the second slot 6. The staff puts the top of the wig into the second slot 6 and locates it between the bottom wall of the second slot 6 and the driving roller 61, and then starts the motor 62. The motor 62 drives the driving roller 61 to rotate, and the roller surface of the driving roller 61 drives the wig to move into the second slot 6 and stops when the tail of the wig reaches a suitable position. At this time, the driving roller 61 fixes the wig by friction, which is convenient for subsequent testing.

[0046] A groove is provided on the inner bottom wall of the second trough body 6 and directly below the driving roller 61, and a docking roller 63 is rotatably arranged inside the groove; when the wig enters the second trough body 6, it passes between the driving roller 61 and the docking roller 63. As the driving roller 61 drives the wig to move, the wig moves on the docking roller 63, and the docking roller 63 can rotate synchronously, thereby avoiding damage caused by friction between the wig and the inner wall of the second trough body 6.

[0047] A plurality of inflation grooves are evenly arranged on the side of the driving roller 61; an airbag 64 is arranged inside the inflation groove; after the wig is confined inside the second groove body 6, the airbag 64 in the inflation groove is inflated, and the airbag 64 expands to the outside of the inflation groove, and when the airbag 64 expands, it squeezes the wig inside the second groove body 6, thereby improving the stability of the wig confined in the second groove body 6; it should be pointed out that if the squeezing force of the driving roller 61 on the wig is too large, it will cause damage to the wig, and if the squeezing force is too small, it will be difficult to confine the wig, so the airbag 64 assists in squeezing the wig to avoid damage to the wig, and can ensure the stability of the wig in the second groove body 6.

[0048] A partition 65 is provided between the driving roller 61 and the deepest inner wall of the second trough body 6, and the bottom end of the partition 65 is at the same height as the bottom of the driving roller 61; when the wig enters the second trough body 6 and is driven by the driving roller 61, the end of the partition 65 is located on the side of the driving roller 61, and the wig will enter the bottom end of the partition 65 when moving; the bottom end of the partition 65 restricts the wig to prevent the wig from being entangled on the surface of the driving roller 61, thereby ensuring the normal use of the driving roller 61 and protecting the wig.

[0049] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
