AI Technical Summary
Existing large full-size SUVs or sedans often have insufficient rigidity in their windshield crossbeams without a drainage channel design, resulting in poor NVH performance. At the same time, a high rigidity design can increase head injuries to pedestrians during collisions, making it difficult to balance pedestrian safety and NVH performance.
Design a front windshield crossbeam, including a crossbeam buffer plate and a crossbeam support plate. The buffer plate and the support plate form a gradient design. The buffer plate acts as the first buffer layer to absorb collision energy, and the support plate acts as the second support layer to improve stiffness and modal characteristics. Combined with structures such as firewalls and shock absorber towers, the overall stiffness and NVH performance are enhanced.
It achieves the goal of meeting NVH performance requirements while taking into account pedestrian safety, reducing pedestrian head injuries and improving the overall rigidity and modal performance of the vehicle.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments.

[0055] Example 1
[0056] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown, the front windshield crossbeam of the present invention includes a crossbeam buffer plate 1 and a crossbeam support plate 2 connected to each other. The crossbeam buffer plate 1 has a first stiffness, and the crossbeam support plate 2 has a second stiffness. The first stiffness is less than the second stiffness, and the crossbeam buffer plate 1 is located above the crossbeam support plate 2.
[0057] The front windshield cross beam of the present application can not only reduce head injury to the maximum extent and meet the requirements of pedestrian collision regulations, but also meet the requirements of NVH on the stiffness and mode of the cross beam, so as to balance the pedestrian safety performance and the NVH performance. Specifically, the front windshield cross beam of the present application comprises two parts of a cross beam buffer plate 1 and a cross beam support plate 2, and the cross beam buffer plate 1 is connected with the cross beam support plate 2, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the cross beam buffer plate 1 is connected with the left side of the cross beam support plate 2, and preferably, the cross beam buffer plate 1 is spot-welded with the left side of the cross beam support plate 2. Further, the stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1 is different from that of the cross beam support plate 2. Since the cross beam buffer plate 1 is located at the top of the vehicle head, that is, the cross beam buffer plate 1 is the structure that collides with the pedestrian, the stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1 is smaller than that of the cross beam support plate 2. Since the stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1 is smaller than that of the cross beam support plate 2, and the cross beam buffer plate 1 is located above the cross beam support plate 2, the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the cross beam support plate 2 form a two-layer gradient design structure of a buffer layer and a support layer. The cross beam buffer plate 1 as the first layer buffer layer can absorb the collision energy and deform to the maximum extent to reduce the head injury of the pedestrian, meet the requirements of pedestrian collision regulations; the cross beam support plate 2 as the second layer support layer improves the dynamic stiffness and mode of the front windshield cross beam, and can meet the stiffness and mode requirements of NVH on the front windshield cross beam. Therefore, the front windshield cross beam of the present application can not only reduce head injury to the maximum extent and meet the requirements of pedestrian collision regulations, but also meet the requirements of NVH on the stiffness and mode of the cross beam, so as to balance the pedestrian safety performance and the NVH performance. In addition, the stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1 is a first stiffness, the stiffness of the cross beam support plate 2 is a second stiffness, the difference between the first stiffness and the second stiffness is a preset difference, and the preset difference is determined according to actual test or experience value, so as to balance the pedestrian safety performance and the NVH performance.

[0059] As shown in Figure 1 , the front windshield cross beam of the present application comprises three plate-shaped connecting pieces. Specifically, the cross beam support plate 2 comprises a first support plate 3 and a second support plate 4, so the front windshield cross beam comprises three plate-shaped connecting pieces of the cross beam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4. Further, the first support plate 3 is located between the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the second support plate 4, and the cross beam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 are connected in sequence, as shown inFigure 6 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, the left side of the cross beam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 are spot-welded, and the right side of the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the first support plate 3 forms a first cavity 5. When the cross beam buffer plate 1 absorbs the collision energy, the cross beam buffer plate 1 deforms and collapses towards the first cavity 5 to minimize the head injury of the pedestrian, meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations, and the first cavity 5 can improve the support stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the first support plate 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the right side of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 forms a second cavity 6, which improves the stiffness of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, which is beneficial to improve the torsional stiffness of the vehicle body, and further improve the vehicle NVH performance. The cross beam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 form a front windshield cross beam, which absorbs the collision energy by the cross beam buffer plate 1 to deform and collapse to minimize the head injury of the pedestrian, meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations; the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 improve the dynamic stiffness and modal of the front windshield cross beam, which can meet the stiffness and modal requirements of the front windshield cross beam for NVH, so that the front windshield cross beam of the application can not only minimize the head injury and meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations, but also meet the requirements of the cross beam stiffness and modal for NVH, so as to balance the pedestrian safety performance and the NVH performance. Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 2, the right side of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 forms a second cavity 6, which improves the stiffness of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, which is beneficial to improve the torsional stiffness of the vehicle body, and further improve the vehicle NVH performance. The cross beam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 form a front windshield cross beam, which absorbs the collision energy by the cross beam buffer plate 1 to deform and collapse to minimize the head injury of the pedestrian, meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations; the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 improve the dynamic stiffness and modal of the front windshield cross beam, which can meet the stiffness and modal requirements of the front windshield cross beam for NVH, so that the front windshield cross beam of the application can not only minimize the head injury and meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations, but also meet the requirements of the cross beam stiffness and modal for NVH, so as to balance the pedestrian safety performance and the NVH performance.

The first support plate 3 acts as a support seat, and the support frame 7 supports the cross beam buffer plate 1 to improve the stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1, preventing the glass gluing surface 24 on the cross beam buffer plate 1 from being too soft to cause the installation surface to sink after the front windshield glass is installed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the support frame 7 is connected between the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the first support plate 3, and the support frame 7 is connected to the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the first support plate 3 through a plurality of support rods 9, which can improve the stiffness of the cross beam buffer plate 1 and the first support plate 3. Figure 1 Figure 15 As shown in FIG. 2, the right side of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 forms a second cavity 6, which improves the stiffness of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, which is beneficial to improve the torsional stiffness of the vehicle body, and further improve the vehicle NVH performance. The cross beam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 form a front windshield cross beam, which absorbs the collision energy by the cross beam buffer plate 1 to deform and collapse to minimize the head injury of the pedestrian, meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations; the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 improve the dynamic stiffness and modal of the front windshield cross beam, which can meet the stiffness and modal requirements of the front windshield cross beam for NVH, so that the front windshield cross beam of the application can not only minimize the head injury and meet the requirements of the pedestrian collision regulations, but also meet the requirements of the cross beam stiffness and modal for NVH, so as to balance the pedestrian safety performance and the NVH performance. Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a support cavity 8 is formed between the support frame 7, the crossbeam buffer plate 1, and the first support plate 3. The support cavity 8 is part of the first cavity 5. When the crossbeam buffer plate 1 absorbs collision energy and deforms and collapses towards the support cavity 8, it can minimize head injuries to pedestrians, meeting pedestrian collision regulations. Furthermore, the support cavity 8 can improve the support stiffness of the crossbeam buffer plate 1 and the first support plate 3, further improving the support stiffness of the lower crossbeam of the windshield. Further, as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The diagram shows the connection between the support frame 7 and the crossbeam buffer plate 1, the first support plate 3, and the second support plate 4. The cross-section of the crossbeam buffer plate 1 is a stepped shape, the cross-section of the first support plate 3 is Z-shaped, and the cross-section of the second support plate 4 is an inverted C-shape. Figure 26 As shown, the cross-section of the support frame 7 is C-shaped; by Figure 5 and Figure 7 It is evident that the support cavity 8, partially formed after the support frame 7 is connected to the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4, can improve the support rigidity of the front windshield crossbeam. For example... Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the support frame 7 includes a first welding platform 25, a second welding platform 26, and a waist connecting part 27.

The windshield crossbeam includes a crossbeam buffer plate 1 and a crossbeam support plate 2 connected to each other. The crossbeam buffer plate 1 has a first stiffness, and the crossbeam support plate 2 has a second stiffness. The first stiffness is less than the second stiffness. The crossbeam buffer plate 1 is located above the crossbeam support plate 2. The first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 are both connected to the firewall 9. A reinforcing cavity 10 is formed between the first support plate 3, the second support plate 4 and the firewall 9.
[0080] The crossbeam buffer plate 1 and crossbeam support plate 2 of the front windshield crossbeam of this application form a two-layer gradient design structure of buffer layer and support layer. The crossbeam buffer plate 1, as the first buffer layer, can absorb collision energy and deform and collapse to minimize the head injury of pedestrians and meet the requirements of pedestrian collision regulations. The crossbeam support plate 2, as the second support layer, improves the dynamic stiffness and modal characteristics of the front windshield crossbeam and can meet the stiffness and modal characteristics requirements of NVH for the front windshield crossbeam. Therefore, the front windshield crossbeam of this application can not only minimize head injury and meet the requirements of pedestrian collision regulations, but also meet the requirements of NVH for crossbeam stiffness and modal characteristics, so as to take into account both pedestrian safety performance and NVH performance, and further improve pedestrian safety performance and vehicle NVH performance. The first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 of the front end assembly of the vehicle body form a reinforced cavity 10 between the right side of the first support plate 3 and the second support plate 4 and the firewall 9, which improves the stiffness of the front windshield crossbeam, further improves the torsional stiffness of the vehicle body, the dynamic stiffness of the front windshield crossbeam assembly and the stiffness and modal stiffness of the firewall 9, thereby improving the NVH performance of the vehicle.
