[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] Reference Figure 1-8, an energy absorption device for a car bumper, comprising an anti-collision beam 1, a hydraulic cylinder body 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the anti-collision beam 1, a buffer airbag 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the hydraulic cylinder body 2, an inlet and outlet oil pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the hydraulic cylinder body 2, a liquid storage bag 5 is fixedly connected to the side end of the inlet and outlet oil pipe 4, the hydraulic cylinder body 2 is connected to the liquid storage bag 5 through the inlet and outlet oil pipe 4, and the hydraulic oil can flow between the hydraulic cylinder body 2 and the liquid storage bag 5, the bottom of the liquid storage bag 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the anti-collision beam 1, a U-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the anti-collision beam 1, an inflatable box 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the U-shaped plate 6, an inner wall of the inflatable box 7 is provided with an air pushing block 8, and strip grooves 9 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the air pushing block 8. The upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the box 7 are fixedly connected with limit blocks 10, the surface of the limit blocks 10 contacts the inner wall of the strip groove 9, the length of the strip groove 9 is the same as the length of the limit blocks 10, and the limit blocks 10 cooperate with the strip groove 9 to make the air pushing block 8 unable to be separated from the inflation box 7. An observation hole 11 is provided on the front of the inflation box 7, and a transparent scale 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the observation hole 11. Through the transparent scale 12, the user can intuitively judge the distance moved by the air pushing block 8. The side of the inflation box 7, the side of the buffer airbag 3 and the upper surface of the hydraulic cylinder body 2 are fixedly connected with three ventilation pipes 13, the upper surface of the buffer airbag 3 is fixedly connected with an outer plate 14, and the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder body 2 is fitted with a piston block 21.

[0028] The three-way air pipe 13 includes a three-way valve 131, one end of the three-way valve 131 and the side of the inflation box 7 are fixedly connected with a first transverse pipe 132, one end of the three-way valve 131 and the side of the cushioning airbag 3 are fixedly connected with a second transverse pipe 133, one end of the three-way valve 131 and the upper surface of the hydraulic cylinder body 2 are fixedly connected with a vertical pipe 134, and the connection or disconnection among the first transverse pipe 132, the second transverse pipe 133 and the vertical pipe 134 is controlled by the three-way valve 131.

[0029] Embodiment 2:

[0030] Reference Figure 1-9A threaded hole 15 is provided inside the anti-collision beam 1, and a threaded cylinder 16 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 15, and a baffle 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded cylinder 16, and a cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer plate 14. The upper surface of the anti-collision beam 1 and the bottom of the outer plate 14 are both fitted with a spring 19, and the centers of the threaded cylinder 16, the cylinder 18 and the spring 19 are all on the same vertical line, and a rotating block 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the threaded cylinder 16. When the thrust of the spring 19 on the outer plate 14 decreases due to aging, the distance between the baffle 17 and the outer plate 14 can be reduced by rotating the threaded cylinder 16 under the cooperation of the threaded cylinder 16 and the threaded hole 15, and the thrust of the spring 19 on the outer plate 14 can be restored to an appropriate size, so that the maintenance personnel do not need to replace the aged spring 19, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the energy absorption device. At the same time, the rotating block 20 makes it more convenient for the user to rotate the threaded cylinder 16.

[0031] In the utility model, when the user uses the energy absorption device, the anti-collision beam 1 is first fixed to the frame, and then the second transverse tube 133 is connected to the vertical tube 134 through the three-way valve 131, and the first transverse tube 132 is disconnected. When the outer plate 14 is impacted, the cushioning airbag 3 is deformed by the impact force, and the impact force is absorbed and buffered by the deformed cushioning airbag 3. At the same time, the air in the cushioning airbag 3 can be pushed into the hydraulic cylinder body 2 through the second transverse tube 133 and the vertical tube 134 through the deformed cushioning airbag 3, and the piston block 21 is moved by air pressure. At this time, the hydraulic solution in the hydraulic cylinder body 2 is pushed by the moving piston block 21, and the impact force is absorbed and buffered by the hydraulic solution. When the outer panel 14 is not subjected to external force, the thrust of the spring 19 on the outer panel 14 causes the distance between the outer panel 14 and the anti-collision beam 1 to return to the initial value. When the maintenance personnel inspect the energy absorption device, they first connect the first cross tube 132 with the second cross tube 133 by turning the three-way valve 131, and disconnect the vertical tube 134. At this time, the cushion airbag 3 is connected with the inflation box 7 through the first cross tube 132 and the second cross tube 133, and then the air in the inflation box 7 is pushed into the cushion airbag 3 by pushing the air pushing block 8. When the distance moved by the air pushing block 8 reaches the threshold and cannot be moved, it means that the cushion airbag 3 is not damaged. When the moving distance of the air pushing block 8 is greater than the threshold, it means that the cushion airbag 3 is damaged.

Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention according to the technical scheme and the utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
