Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly relates to a vehicle collision safety device and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Safety attributes are one of the most important concerns of the majority of automobile users and are also one of the assessment indicators that must be met by regulations. How to optimize the product structure attributes to ensure that the vehicle meets the relevant collision safety requirements is an important issue that must be faced.

[0003] In the front section of the longitudinal beam of the traditional non-load-bearing frame, a front anti-collision beam is provided. However, when the collision energy is large, the anti-collision beam and the front part of the longitudinal beam of the frame cannot collapse well to absorb the collision energy, resulting in serious deformation of the frame and the cockpit, and reducing the safety of the vehicle.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the existing vehicle technology continuously optimizes the automobile frame and designs the structures of the front anti-collision beam and the energy absorption box to efficiently absorb and decompose the force. For example, the patent application document with the publication number CN116252863A discloses a front engine compartment skeleton and a vehicle. During the collision process, the collision force can be absorbed by the front anti-collision beam and the energy absorption box to relieve the energy in the initial stage of the collision, and then the front section of the longitudinal beam absorbs the energy in the middle stage. After the rear section of the longitudinal beam plays a supporting role, it can also absorb a part of the energy. The strengthening bracket located on the rear section of the longitudinal beam can prevent the folding and collapse at the turning, playing a strengthening role. At the same time, the crossbeam assembly arranged between the two front longitudinal beams can not only prevent the rear section of the longitudinal beam from spreading outwards during the collision, but also the frame structure formed by the crossbeam assembly and the two front longitudinal beams can play a role in side collision and oblique collision, achieving the purpose of shock absorption and energy absorption.

[0005] Another example is the patent with the publication number CN109987140B, which discloses an automobile frame. On the basis of setting a front anti-collision beam at the front end of the longitudinal beam, a front transition section strengthening plate is arranged in the front transition section of the longitudinal beam. Through the flanges and strengthening rib grooves arranged on the strengthening plate body, the strengthening plate can have a relatively high structural stiffness, thereby improving the bending resistance of the front transition section of the longitudinal beam. At the same time, by arranging energy absorption grooves at intervals at the flanges on both sides of the strengthening plate, it is also possible to realize the orderly deformation of the strengthening plate and the longitudinal beam by using the guidance of the energy absorption grooves during the collision, so as to utilize the deformation of the strengthening plate to achieve collision energy absorption, and improve the collision performance of the front part of the frame.

[0006] However, the development of molds for such collision safety structures combining the front anti-collision beam and the energy absorption box / energy absorption groove requires a large investment and the assembly is complex. Utility Model Content

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] The present utility model provides a vehicle collision safety device, which includes two longitudinal beams 1, a circular tube beam 2 and a box beam 3. The two longitudinal beams 1 are symmetrically arranged at intervals in the vehicle width direction. The longitudinal beam 1 is provided with a front section and a rear section along the vehicle length direction.
