[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 The present invention provides a car bumper with a buffer function, including a bumper shell 2.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown, an energy-absorbing block 1 is installed at one end of the bumper shell 2. Positioning holes 3 are evenly distributed on the energy-absorbing block 1. The positioning holes 3 are arranged at equal intervals on the energy-absorbing block 1. A bumper reinforcing beam 5 is installed at one end of the energy-absorbing block 1. Pressure sensors 4 are installed on both sides of the bumper reinforcing beam 5 near the end of the energy-absorbing block 1. Energy-absorbing boxes 7 are installed on both sides of the bumper reinforcing beam 5 away from the energy-absorbing block 1. The energy-absorbing box 7 is a hollow structure. An auxiliary structure 8 is set inside the energy-absorbing box 7. The auxiliary structure 8 includes a limiting groove 84 opened on the inner wall of the end of the bumper reinforcing beam 5 away from the energy-absorbing block 1, an airbag 81 installed inside the energy-absorbing box 7, a connecting air pipe 83 connecting the two airbags 81, and a first air pipe 82 installed on the airbag 81. The first air pipe 82 is connected to an air pump. The connecting air pipe 83 is set inside the limiting groove 84.

[0032] Through the function of the energy-absorbing block 1, the car bumper has a certain buffering performance. When the car collides, the pressure sensor 4 detects the pressure. When the pressure value is greater than the set value, the information is transmitted to the microcontroller. The microcontroller processes the information and transmits it to the air pump. The air pump starts and inflates the airbag 81. The airbag 81 expands and becomes more elastic. In conjunction with the energy-absorbing box 7, it can effectively reduce the impact force generated during the car collision and enhance the buffering performance of the car bumper.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a buffer structure 6 is evenly arranged between the bumper reinforcing beam 5 and the bumper shell 2. The buffer structure 6 includes a first energy-absorbing pad 61, an energy-absorbing rod 62, a second energy-absorbing pad 63, and a buffer spring 64. The second energy-absorbing pads 63 are evenly installed at the end of the bumper reinforcing beam 5 near the energy-absorbing block 1. An energy-absorbing rod 62 is installed at one end of each second energy-absorbing pad 63. A buffer spring 64 is sleeved on each energy-absorbing rod 62. The first energy-absorbing pad 61 is installed at one end of each energy-absorbing rod 62. One end of the buffer spring 64 is connected to the first energy-absorbing pad 61. The buffer spring 64 and the first energy-absorbing pad 61 form a telescopic structure. A groove is opened on the inner wall of the end of the bumper shell 2 near the energy-absorbing block 1 to cooperate with the first energy-absorbing pad 61 for limiting and fixing the first energy-absorbing pad 61.

[0034] By combining the first energy-absorbing pad 61, the energy-absorbing rod 62, the second energy-absorbing pad 63, and the buffer spring 64, a certain buffering effect can be achieved, further reducing the impact force generated during a car collision and improving the safety protection performance of the car.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the outer surface of the bumper shell 2 is provided with a protective structure 9, which includes a heat insulation layer 91 and a wear-resistant layer 92. The heat insulation layer 91 is a high-temperature resistant reflective heat insulation coating, which is installed on the outer surface of the bumper shell 2. The wear-resistant layer 92 is installed on the outside of the heat insulation layer 91. The wear-resistant layer 92 is a nano wear-resistant coating.

[0036] The heat insulation layer 91 and the wear-resistant layer 92 can enhance the heat insulation, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the bumper shell 2 to a certain extent, improve the efficiency of the bumper shell 2 and extend its service life.
