AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing front-end passive safety protection structures in vehicles are unable to effectively absorb and transfer collision energy during a collision, resulting in serious injuries to occupants, especially failing to meet the requirements of the new vehicle evaluation procedure under MPDB conditions.

Method used

Design a ring-shaped front-end passive safety protection structure, including an upper anti-collision beam, a lower anti-collision beam, and plate-shaped components, forming a ring structure to absorb and transfer collision energy, and further absorb energy through an energy-absorbing box, optimizing the load transfer path and improving energy absorption efficiency.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces occupant injury during a collision, optimizes load transfer path, improves energy absorption efficiency, reduces intrusion into barriers, and meets the requirements of the new vehicle evaluation procedure.

Abstract

The front end passive safety protection structure forms a ring structure to absorb and transmit collision energy in a state of collision with an obstacle, and the ring structure comprises: an upper anti-collision cross beam having a first upper end portion and a second upper end portion oppositely arranged along an upper main extension direction thereof; a lower anti-collision cross beam having a first lower end portion and a second lower end portion oppositely arranged along a lower main extension direction thereof; a first plate-shaped member connecting the first upper end portion to the first lower end portion; and a second plate-shaped member connecting the second upper end portion to the second lower end portion. The front end passive safety protection structure optimizes a load transmission path, improves energy absorption efficiency, and minimizes the harm to passengers in the vehicle and passengers in the opposite vehicle in the collision of the vehicle with the obstacle.
