Dual-stage sensor displacement detection helps a mobile robot sense gentle and strong collisions and escape trapped positions in tight spaces.
A pretensioned spring-guided bumper lets robot cleaners absorb impacts from multiple directions without separate guiding parts.
An elastic rubber expander press-fits a hollow member into another part, enabling strong long-member joining without welding heat or complex equipment.
Separated outer and inner chambers guide crash folding and energy transfer, reducing joint failure at the bumper cross member.
A cavity-backed support structure mounts sensors or lighting behind vehicle cladding, protecting them while reducing panel weight and complexity.
A speed-controlled retractable bumper uses a rod, spring, and actuator to absorb pedestrian leg impact energy while preserving ground clearance.
Oblong-recess reinforcement inside a vehicle crossbeam helps stop pole-impact tearing and limits obstacle penetration into the cabin.
An inflatable metallic crush can uses pyrotechnic inflation and elongation to adapt bumper stiffness and absorb frontal impact energy.
Controlled over-bending and springback form a one-piece bumper reinforcement bar with fewer steps, lower cost, and preserved rigidity.
Overbending and elastic springback shape a one-piece bumper reinforcement bar with fewer bending and welding steps while preserving rigidity.
Mechanical coupling channels replace welded crash box joints, cutting assembly cost while improving load transfer and crash deformation behavior.
A folded end plate with weld beads moved off the front edge cuts impact stress and preserves component rotation in vehicle absorbers.
Stamped apertures and tabs in a metal bumper hold the sensor directly, cutting retainer parts, assembly steps, and cost.
Offset dividing walls and a thicker rear flange shift the neutral axis to reduce tensile stress and prevent crossbeam tearing in pole crashes.
An inner closing member with a restricting portion prevents early wall tilting and cross-sectional collapse, improving crash load resistance.
A corrugated core joined to a plastic structure absorbs impact energy with lower weight and bulk while protecting vehicle elements from deformation.
