[0012] A support block is fixed on the side of the energy absorbing column facing the inside of the vehicle body. A sealing rubber pad is installed on the support block, and the sealing rubber pad is used to seal and block the air outlet on the movable plate in the initial state.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of one end of the guide column extending into the interior of the energy absorbing column and the inner wall of the energy absorbing column fit each other, and the guide column forms an elastic telescopic structure by sleeve-connecting the spring and the energy absorbing column.

[0026] 1. A guide column is provided. When the anti-collision beam is hit, the guide column can move inside the energy-absorbing column after being subjected to force. After the guide column moves, the elastic deformation of the sleeve spring can be used to buffer and absorb energy. At the same time, after the guide column moves under force, it can squeeze the air storage bag, and the deformation of the air storage bag after being compressed can also play a buffering role. When the air storage bag is deformed to a certain extent, it can push the buffer plate to move inside the energy-absorbing column.

[0027] 2. A cutting blade is provided. When the impact force is large, the buffer plate is pushed and can drive the cutting blade to cut off the draw rope. At this time, the guide rod loses the pulling force of the draw rope and resets and reverses under the action of the vortex spring. When the guide rod reverses, it can drive the movable disk to rotate synchronously. When the air outlet on the movable disk and the sealing pad on the supporting baffle are detached during the rotation of the movable disk, the flame-retardant airflow inside the air storage bag enters the movable disk through the delivery pipe and is sprayed toward the inner side of the vehicle body through the air outlet. The sprayed airflow plays a flame-retardant protection role. At the same time, the movable disk sprays air during the rotation process, so when the air is sprayed through the air outlet, it can spray toward different positions to increase the spray range.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0035] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-stage crumple energy-absorbing front cross beam of a car, comprising an anti-collision beam body 1, guide columns 2 are installed at the left and right ends of the anti-collision beam body 1, and one end of the guide column 2 extends into the interior of the energy-absorbing column 3, and the other end of the guide column 2 is fixed on the anti-collision beam body 1, and connecting grooves 4 are evenly distributed on the upper and lower surfaces of the energy-absorbing column 3, and the interior of the energy-absorbing column 3 is connected to each other through a sleeve spring 5 and the end of the guide column 2; an air storage bag 6 is installed between the end of the guide column 2 extending into the interior of the energy-absorbing column 3 and the buffer plate 7, and the buffer plate 7 is connected to the interior of the energy-absorbing column 3 through a booster spring 8, and the outer wall of the end of the guide column 2 extending into the interior of the energy-absorbing column 3 and the inner wall of the energy-absorbing column 3 are in contact with each other, and the guide column 2 forms an elastic telescopic structure through the sleeve spring 5 and the energy-absorbing column 3. The air storage bag 6 is set to be made of elastic rubber material;

[0036] like Figure 1-3As shown, when the anti-collision beam 1 is hit during the driving of the vehicle, the guide column 2 on the side of the anti-collision beam 1 moves inside the energy absorbing column 3 after the force is applied to the anti-collision beam 1. The movement of the guide column 2 can utilize the sleeve spring 5 to achieve a primary elastic energy absorption effect. After the guide column 2 moves, it can squeeze the air bag 6, and achieve a secondary elastic energy absorption effect through the elastic deformation of the air bag 6 itself. At the same time, in the initial state, the air outlet 13 on the side of the movable plate 12 is blocked by the sealing pad 17. At this time, the internal airflow of the air bag 6 will not leak out after being squeezed. After the air bag 6 is deformed to the limit, the guide column 2 can push the buffer plate 7 to move inside the energy absorbing column 3 after moving. After the buffer plate 7 moves, the elastic deformation of the booster spring 8 can achieve a second buffering and energy absorption effect. Therefore, the damage caused by the collision can be reduced through multiple energy absorption and buffering.

[0037] The air storage bag 6 is connected to the guide rod 10 through the delivery pipe 9, and the outer side of the guide rod 10 is sleeved with a vortex spring 11, which provides the guide rod 10 with a reset rotation elastic force through the vortex spring 11; the movable disk 12 is fixed to the end of the guide rod 10 extending out of the energy absorption column 3, and the movable disk 12 is provided with an air outlet 13; the pull rope 14 is used to connect the guide rod 10 and the inner wall of the energy absorption column 3, and the side of the pull rope 14 is installed with a cutting blade 15, and the cutting blade 15 is fixed on the buffer plate 7; the support block 16 is fixed to the side of the energy absorption column 3 facing the inside of the vehicle body, and the support block 16 is installed with a sealing pad 17, which is used to seal and block the air outlet 13 on the movable disk 12 in the initial state. The air storage bag 6 is filled with flame-retardant inert gas. The buffer plate 7 and the cutting blade 15 are vertically distributed, and the outer wall of the buffer plate 7 and the inner wall of the energy absorbing column 3 fit each other, and the buffer plate 7 and the energy absorbing column 3 are slidably connected. The end joint of the conveying pipe 9 is connected to the middle of the guide rod 10 by a bearing, and the guide rod 10 can rotate on the energy absorbing column 3. The interior of the guide rod 10 and the movable disk 12 are both set as hollow structures, and the interiors of the guide rod 10 and the movable disk 12 are connected to each other. The air outlet 13 is eccentrically arranged on the side of the movable disk 12, and the air outlet 13 on the movable disk 12 is tightly fitted with the sealing pad 17 in the initial state.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, when the impact force is too great, the buffer plate 7 can drive the cutting blade 15 on the side to move synchronously after it moves, and the movement of the cutting blade 15 can cut off the pull rope 14 inside the energy absorbing column 3. At this time, after the guide rod 10 loses the pulling force of the pull rope 14, the guide rod 10 resets and reverses under the action of the vortex spring 11, and can drive the movable disk 12 to rotate synchronously when the guide rod 10 reverses. When the movable disk 12 rotates, the air outlet 13 on its side and the sealing rubber pad 17 on the support block 16 are separated from each other, and the flame-retardant gas inside the air storage bag 6 is discharged outwardly through the delivery pipe 9, the guide rod 10 and the air outlet 13 on the side of the movable disk 12. The flame-retardant gas sprayed toward the inner side of the vehicle body through the air outlet 13 can reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion of the vehicle after the collision, and the movable disk 12 sprays outward when rotating, so that the air outlet 13 on the movable disk 12 can spray toward different positions, thereby increasing the outward spray range of the air outlet 13.

[0039] Working principle: When using the multi-stage crumple energy absorbing front cross beam of the car, firstly according to Figure 1-5 As shown, after the anti-collision beam body 1 is subjected to force, the guide column 2 on its side moves inside the energy absorbing column 3. The movement of the guide column 2 can utilize the sleeve spring 5 to achieve a primary elastic energy absorption effect, and the elastic deformation of the air storage bag 6 itself can achieve a secondary elastic energy absorption effect. After the air storage bag 6 is deformed to the limit, the guide column 2 can move to push the buffer plate 7 to move inside the energy absorbing column 3. After the buffer plate 7 moves, the elastic deformation of the booster spring 8 can achieve a second buffering and energy absorption effect. Therefore, multiple energy absorption and buffering can reduce the damage caused by the collision. The movement of the cutting blade 15 can cut off the pull rope 14 inside the energy absorbing column 3. When the air outlet 13 on the side of the movable disk 12 is separated from the sealing pad 17 on the supporting block 16 during the rotation of the movable disk 12, the flame-retardant gas inside the air storage bag 6 is discharged outwardly through the air outlet 13. The flame-retardant gas sprayed toward the inner side of the vehicle body through the air outlet 13 can reduce the risk of spontaneous combustion after the vehicle impact. The movable disk 12 sprays outward when rotating, so that the air outlet 13 on the movable disk 12 can spray toward different positions, thereby increasing the outward spray range of the air outlet 13.
