[0022] The cowl crossbar 100 of the present invention is made by combining polypropylene and glass fiber (GF), includes at least two or more mold frames, and is integrally formed into the cowl crossbar 100 by plastic injection molding. The winding layer 112 surrounding the outside of the inner pipe 111 is made by combining polypropylene (PP) and a single-oriented fiber composite material (glass fiber), is configured to form at least two or more layers, and is configured to be surrounded by the outer pipe 113. Hereinafter, the composite material means the continuous fiber that constitutes the winding layer of the winding layer.
[0023] In FIG. 1, the cowl cross bar 100 includes a first cowl cross beam 110a and a second cowl cross beam 110b that cross both sides of the vehicle body and have both ends connected to the side frame 300, and includes a side fastening portion 150 configured to be coupled to the first cowl cross beam 110a, the second cowl cross beam 110b, and the side frame 300. The first cowl cross beam 110a and the second cowl cross beam 110b include support legs 120 at their central portions that are configured to be supported by the vehicle body. More preferably, the support legs 120 are located on the second cowl cross beam 110b, and the support legs 120 are configured to be fastened to the first cowl cross beam 110a integrally with the second cowl cross beam 110b. The shape of the support legs 120 can be changed according to the shape of the vehicle cockpit.
[0024] In one embodiment of the present invention, as the cowl cross bar 100 applied to a vehicle using a slim cockpit, the support leg 120 located at the center of the cowl cross beam is configured to have a certain curvature and to be fixed to the body of the vehicle. The shape of the support leg 120 including the curvature can be applied to a vehicle including a cockpit applied to the vehicle or a walk-through shape between the driver's seat and the passenger seat. The cowl cross bar 100 of the present invention is configured by integral injection molding of a plastic material, and is manufactured by dividing into a first cowl cross beam 110a and a second cowl cross beam 110b, and the second cowl cross beam 110b is fastened and fixed so as to overlap at least a part of the first cowl cross beam 110a. More preferably, the cowl cross bar 100 is configured by molding a resin in which polypropylene and glass fiber are mixed.
[0025] The first cowl cross beam 110a is composed of an inner pipe 111, a winding layer 112, and an outer pipe 113, and is configured so that a single-oriented fiber composite material forms at least one layer on the upper part of the inner pipe 111. At least a part of the surface of the outer pipe 113 is configured in a flat state, but is configured so that a side fastening part 150 and a steering column fastening part 140, which are fastened to the first cowl cross beam 110a made of polypropylene (PP), can be bolted and fixed.
[0026] The first cowl cross beam 110a includes a side fastening portion 150 to be fastened to the side frame 300 of the vehicle body. The side fastening portion 150 is configured to be fastened to one end of the first cowl cross beam 110a, and is fastened and fixed to an insert cap formed inside the hollow when the first cowl cross beam 110a is extruded. The first cowl cross beam 110a includes a steering column fastening portion 140 fastened to a flat surface of the first cowl cross beam 110a. The steering column fastening portion 140 is fixed to a flat surface located on the upper surface of the first cowl cross beam 110a, and the outermost corner is composed of a steel bracket 141. The second cowl cross beam 110b is configured to have an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the inner pipe 111 of the first cowl cross beam 110a, and is configured so that at least a portion of the second cowl cross beam 110b can be retracted and fixed inside the first cowl cross beam 110a based on the drawing block portion 130.
[0027] More preferably, at least a portion of the support leg 120 located at one end of the second cowl cross beam 110b is configured to be retracted and fixed to the first cowl cross beam 110a simultaneously with the second cowl cross beam 110b.

Therefore, in response to a vertical impact applied to the cowl crossbar 100 and the support leg 120, the lower end fastening groove breaks first, and then the upper end fastening groove breaks, releasing the fastening between the upper end and the lower end. In this way, the support leg 120 is configured to absorb the impact applied in the vertical direction of the cowl crossbar 100.
[0030] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the support leg 120, the steering column fastening part 140, and the side fastening part 150, which can be formed by insert injection molding, can be formed on the outer pipe 113. Also, the support leg 120, the steering column fastening part 140, and the side fastening part 150 can include a steel bracket as a reinforcing member, which is configured to perform the functions of absorbing impact and preventing breakage. That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the outer pipe 113 is configured so that at least a portion of the lower structure of the cowl crossbar can be molded by insert injection molding.
[0031] Fig. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a first cowl cross beam 110a as an embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 3 shows a manufacturing method of the first cowl cross beam 110a, which is constructed by a winding layer made of three composite materials forming a winding layer 112. The first cowl cross beam 110a is constructed by sequentially stacking an inner pipe 111, a winding layer 112, and an outer pipe 113 to be hollow. That is, the inner pipe 111 is constructed to have a hollow circular cross section, and includes at least one winding layer 112 made of a single-oriented fiber composite material wound around the outer side of the inner pipe 111. More preferably, the single-oriented fiber composite material of the present invention is made of a thermoplastic composite material (Continuous fiber thermoplastic, CFT).

The first winding layer 112a is made of two layers of single-oriented fibers. After this, the second winding layer 112b is configured to be positioned at a 90 degree angle with the first winding layer wound first, and the second winding layer 112b is made of two layers of single-oriented fibers. The third winding layer 112c is wound on the top surface of the second winding layer 112b at the same angle as the first winding layer 112a. The composite materials are configured to have a thickness of 0.25T each. In another embodiment of the present invention, the winding layer 112 can be configured to include six composite material layers.
[0033] After each composite material is wound, a heat flattening operation is performed on the wound winding layer 112, and more preferably, after at least two composite materials are wound, the heat flattening operation is performed.

[0035] 4 shows a cross section of the second cowl cross beam 110b as an embodiment of the present invention, which includes four winding layers on the upper surface of the inner pipe 111, and is formed by injection molding the outer pipe 113 on the upper surface of the winding layer 112. Furthermore, when the outer cover material is injected by the extrusion die 610 to form the outer pipe 113, the shape of the outer pipe 113 is determined by the extrusion die 610. In one embodiment of the present invention, the outer pipe 113 is extruded to form a gear structure including a plurality of protrusions on the outer side of the second cowl cross beam 110b, which is extruded on the inner peripheral surface of the inner pipe 111 of the first cowl cross beam 110a so as to be drawn into and fixed inside the first cowl cross beam 110a.

[0036] 5, the first cowl cross beam 110a and the second cowl cross beam 110b are configured to be at least partially overlapped. More preferably, the gear structure 114 located at the outermost corner of the second cowl cross beam 110b is configured integrally with the support leg 120, and the second cowl cross beam 110b including the gear structure 114 and a portion of the support leg 120 are configured to be inserted and fixed inside the first cowl cross beam 110a.
[0037] More preferably, the outer pipe of the second cowl cross beam 110b is configured to have a sawtooth shape, and the inner peripheral surface of the first cowl cross beam 110a is configured to include a shape corresponding to the sawtooth shape, but the outer pipe of the second cowl cross beam 110b is configured to be inserted and fixed onto the inner peripheral surface of the first cowl cross beam 110a. Furthermore, the outer pipe of the cowl cross beam is configured to have a sawtooth shape, but the structure fastened to the outer surface of the outer pipe by insert injection molding is located in the sawtooth shape. Therefore, the structure fastened to the cowl cross beam by insert injection molding can be prevented from rotating due to impact.
[0038] The pull-out block unit 130 is configured to surround the outer pipe 113 of the first cowl cross beam 110a in an area where the first cowl cross beam 110a and the second cowl cross beam 110b overlap. The pull-out block unit 130 is configured to surround the first cowl cross beam 110a and the second cowl cross beam 110b, and is configured to simultaneously surround at least a portion of the support leg 120 located on the second cowl cross beam 110b.

As described above, the present invention includes a plurality of impact absorbing structures and configurations to absorb an impact applied to a position where the first cowl cross beam 110a and the second cowl cross beam 110b face each other.
[0040] 6 shows a schematic diagram of a manufacturing apparatus for forming a lightweight cowl crossbar 100 as one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the apparatus includes an inner pipe extrusion die 410 for injection molding an initial inner pipe 111. A resin in which polypropylene and 50% glass fiber are mixed as the physical properties constituting the inner pipe 111 is injected into one end of the inner pipe extrusion die 410. The extruded inner pipe 111 undergoes a step of cooling by a cooling die 420, and then moves to a take-up machine 510 so that the glass fiber is wound around the inner pipe 111.
[0041] In the take-off machine 510, the first winding layer 112a is wound on the inner pipe 111 so as to have a 45 degree inclination (first direction) with respect to the initial inner pipe 111. The first winding layer 112a is made of two layers of single-oriented fibers. After this, the second winding layer 112b is configured to be positioned so as to form a 90 degree angle (second direction) with the first wound first winding layer 112a, and the second winding layer 112b is made of two layers of single-oriented fibers. The third winding layer 112c is wound on the top surface of the second winding layer 112b so as to have the same angle as the first winding layer 112a. Additionally, the fourth winding layer 112d is wound so as to have the same angle as the second winding layer 112a.
[0042] As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the winding layer 112 is formed by stacking four layers of composite material using the puller 510, and after each winding layer (a layer in which each composite material is stacked), the puller 520 is configured to flatten the uneven sections of the winding layer 112 and increase the adhesive strength. More preferably, at least one puller 510 is configured so that the composite material is stacked in a direction (first direction or second direction) corresponding to each layer. In this way, the present invention makes it possible to set the angle at which each winding layer is formed depending on the position and angle of the puller 510.
[0043] After the winding layer 112 is laminated on the upper surface of the inner pipe 111, it is moved to an extrusion die 610 for the outer pipe 113 so that the outer pipe 113 is extruded onto the upper surface of the winding layer 112, and then moved to a cooling die 620 for the outer pipe 113 to cool the extruded outer pipe 113.
[0044] In this way, the first cowl cross beam 110a and the second cowl cross beam 110b of the present invention are composed of the inner pipe 111, the winding layer 112 and the outer pipe 113, and are configured so that the outer peripheral surface of the extruded outer pipe 113 can be changed by varying the shape of the extrusion die 610 for the outer pipe 113. More preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the outer peripheral surface of the second cowl cross beam 110b is configured so that the outer pipe 113 is extruded to have a gear structure 114.

The inner pipe 111 thus extruded is cooled by the cooling die 420 (S200). To form the winding layer 112 on the cooled inner pipe 111, glass fiber is wound as a composite material by the take-up machine 510 (S300). In one embodiment of the present invention, four winding layers are formed, and the formed winding layer 112 includes first to fourth winding layers.
[0046] Furthermore, after each winding layer is laminated, the surface of the layer is flattened by the drawing machine 520 (S400). After the winding layer 112 is laminated, the outer pipe 113 is configured to surround the upper surface of the winding layer 112 by the extrusion die 610 of the outer pipe 113 (S500).

More preferably, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first direction is configured at an angle of 45 degrees based on the width direction of the cowl crossbar 100. After the first winding layer is wound, the first winding layer is flattened by a drawing machine 520, and a winding layer is laminated on the flattened first winding layer in a second direction. More preferably, the second direction can be set at an angle of -90 degrees based on the first direction (S320).
[0049] After the second winding layer is laminated, the upper surface of the second winding layer is flattened by the drawing machine 520, and the third winding layer is laminated on the upper surface of the second winding layer in the same direction as the first direction (S330). After the third winding layer is laminated, a drawing operation is performed, and the fourth winding layer is laminated on the upper surface of the third winding layer (S340).
[0050] In another embodiment of the present invention, the directions of the composite materials forming the first winding layer to the fourth winding layer may all be different, and in yet another embodiment of the present invention, at least two winding layers may be wound in the same direction.
