Description

Pedestrian protection
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of pedestrian protection, be used for reducing damage the pedestrian in collision with vehicle.
Background technology
In traffic accident, the passenger in the vehicle not only, and want protected to prevent fatal damage with the people (for example pedestrian) of vehicle collision.Preferably, pedestrian protection has alleviated owing to collide the damage to the pedestrian that produces with vehicle (for example front engine cover of vehicle), and no matter the pedestrian is adult or child.
When the pedestrian with advance in vehicle collision and when takeofing, the pedestrian will collide (secondary collision) once more with the front engine cover of vehicle.Pedestrian protection is connected on the vehicle so that the front engine cover upwards rises and absorbs and cushion secondary collision, has reduced thus to pedestrian's damage (for example, JP-11-28994A).
Yet the pedestrian protection described in the JP-11-28994A is not considered the different front height of various vehicles and pedestrian's differing heights.When short pedestrian (for example child) and high vehicle for example during the SUV collision happens, the pedestrian can not be directed on the front engine cover and roll, thereby can not protect the pedestrian.
Summary of the invention
Consider the problems referred to above, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of pedestrian protection, be used for by front portion that reduces vehicle and the pedestrian who the pedestrian is guided the vehicle collision of on the front engine cover of vehicle, protecting and advancing.
According to the present invention, pedestrian protection comprises crash sensor, electronic control unit and the height adjusting unit that is arranged on front part of vehicle.Crash sensor collision detection and send detection signal to electronic control unit.According to detection signal, electronic control unit determine this vehicle whether with pedestrian impact.When having determined that vehicle and pedestrian bump, electronic control unit sends the pedestrian impact signal to height adjusting unit.Therefore, height adjusting unit has reduced the front portion of vehicle at least.
Preferably, pedestrian protection also comprises lift unit, is used for making when pedestrian's collision alarm is input to lift unit the front engine cover to rise.The front engine cover is the vehicle part that is used for before passenger accommodation the place ahead of vehicle covers case chamber or machinery space.
Pedestrian protection is provided so as when the collision of pedestrian and front engine cover the pedestrian of protection and vehicle front shock, the front engine cover will be out of shape so that sink near the driving engine in machinery space.In this case, the front engine cover rises (takeofing) by lift unit, the feasible distance that has increased between front engine cover and the driving engine.Therefore, the pedestrian can not bump against the driving engine with very big hardness.And, because the distance between the driving engine of front engine cover and big hardness has increased, so the front engine cover is easily deformable.Therefore, more kinetic energy of falling the pedestrian on the front engine cover can absorb by the front engine cover with moderate finite deformation amount, have cushioned the collision to the pedestrian thus.
When the present engine cover rose, front part of vehicle reduced and advances below the pedestrian.Therefore, the pedestrian is directed dropping on the front engine cover, and the front engine cover is raised the unit and rises so that alleviate injury to pedestrian's secondary collision.Therefore, pedestrian protection can be used for protecting effectively the pedestrian who collides with high vehicle (for example RV vehicle or SUV vehicle).
Preferably, reduce front part of vehicle by bumper along the direction compression vehicle suspension system of the elastic deformation spindle axis (being central axial line) of bumper.Therefore, height adjusting unit can reduce vehicle and can not damage bumper, makes that travelling of after current collision vehicle is unaffected.

Crash sensor 1 is connected to electronic control unit 2, and detection signal is input to this unit 2.According to detection signal, electronic control unit 2 for example by analyzing from the detection signal of crash sensor 1 with from the detection signal of the speed sensor (not shown) of the wheel 300 that is connected in vehicle 100, determines whether vehicle 100 with people (for example pedestrian) collision has taken place.When having determined vehicle 100 with pedestrian impact, electronic control unit 2 output pedestrian impact signals.
Be provided for when pedestrian's collision alarm is input to lift unit 3, rising car bonnet 500 with electronic control unit 2 bonded assembly lift units 3.In this case, (takeofing) risen by lift unit 3 in the end of car bonnet 500 of side that is positioned at the passenger accommodation of vehicle 100.
Air bag 4 is installed on one of front pillar 600 of vehicle 100.Front pillar 600 is arranged in the left and right side of the Windshield 700 of the front portion that is positioned vehicle 100, in the lower surface of car bonnet 500, front pillar 600 and Windshield 700; open at least one in the lower surface of front pillar 600 and Windshield 700 of air bag 4, so that the pedestrian of pedestrian's collision alarm from electronic control unit 2 is input to air bag 4 time protection car bonnet 500.
A plurality of height adjusting units 5 are connected on the vehicle suspension system 6, and this suspension system 6 comprises front and rear (anterior vehicle suspension system 6 and rear portion vehicle suspension system 6), so that support the forward and backward wheel 300 of vehicle 100 respectively.
Fig. 2 has represented that height adjusting unit 5 is installed in the left side of the anterior vehicle suspension system 6 of supporting front left wheel 300.Height adjusting unit 5 compressions and stretching bumper 63 (as described later) are so that regulate the height of the left front portion of vehicle.Similarly, the height adjusting unit 5 on the right side by being installed in anterior vehicle suspension system 6 is regulated the height of vehicle right front portion, and the left side shown in this and Fig. 2 is symmetrical.Therefore, regulated the height of front part of vehicle.Left and right directions shown in Fig. 2 is corresponding to the Width of vehicle 100.
As shown in Figure 2, the left side of anterior vehicle suspension system 6 is provided with bumper 63, coil spring 64, the bottom cantilever 62 that supporting the near front wheel 300 and the top cantilever 61 coaxial with bumper 63.Steering swivel 65 is provided for connecting top cantilever 61 and bottom cantilever 62, and this bottom cantilever 62 is connected on the vehicle chassis by beam 101.The top of bumper 63 and bottom are connected respectively on vehicle chassis and the bottom cantilever 62.
Each height adjusting unit 5 comprises and is roughly parallel to the hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 that bumper 63 is arranged along its central axis direction; The both has the roughly upper arm 51 and the underarm 52 of crank shape.Piston 53 stretches out so that be arranged on the bottom of hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 from the tube portion of hydraulic actuating cylinder 50.
One end of upper arm 51 is connected to the top of bumper 63, and the other end of upper arm 51 is connected on the top end part of the piston 53 that stretches out from tube portion.Coil spring 64 is arranged to locate at an upper portion thereof with bumper 63 coaxial, makes the top of coil spring 64 contact an end of upper arm 51.One end of underarm 52 is connected to the bottom of bumper 63, and the other end of underarm 52 is connected to the top of hydraulic actuating cylinder 50.
Height adjusting unit 5 is connected in electronic control unit 2.When the pedestrian impact signal when electronic control unit 2 is input to height adjusting unit 5, hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 is actuated to piston 53 is released downwards.Therefore, the upper arm 51 that is connected in piston 53 descends with the top and the coil spring 64 of compression shock absorption device 63, and coil spring 64 is with the bottom of downward transmission of pressure to bumper 63.As a result, the top of bumper 63 moves down, and bumper 63 is compressed thus.Therefore, the height of front part of vehicle descends.
On the contrary, when piston 53 when the tube portion of hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 regains, when promptly hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 shortens, bumper 63 will be stretched, make the height of front part of vehicle revert to collide before the same.Therefore, if hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 is arranged such that in advance piston 53 is projected into length predetermined outside the portion, then the height of vehicle can be easy to change, and can not damage bumper 63.
Next, describe the operation of pedestrian protection with reference to Fig. 3, wherein step S1-S5 is corresponding to shown in Figure 1.
At step S1, when the front portion of vehicle 100 and specific obstacle collision, the crash sensor 1 of vehicle bumper 200 that is arranged in the front surface of machinery space 400 detects collision and sends detection signal to electronic control unit 2.
At step S2, electronic control unit 2 for example by analyzing from the detection signal of crash sensor 1 with from the detection signal of the speed sensor (not shown) that is connected in wheel 300, determines whether vehicle 100 with people (for example pedestrian) collision has taken place.When having determined vehicle 100 with pedestrian impact, electronic control unit 2 output pedestrian impact signals.
In a plurality of height adjusting units 5, the pedestrian impact signal is input to the height adjusting unit 5 that is installed on the anterior vehicle suspension system 6 at least, so that reduce front part of vehicle in step S5.When the pedestrian impact signal was imported, the piston 53 of hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 stretched out along its one.That is, hydraulic actuating cylinder 50 is elongated.Therefore, upper arm 51 moves down so that pressure is applied on the top of bumper 63.Therefore, bumper 63 is compressed, and makes the height of front part of vehicle reduce.As a result, pedestrian's the lower part of the body (for example foot) is collided to roll on the car bonnet 500 of vehicle 100 by front part of vehicle.
And, be sent to lift unit 3 from the pedestrian impact signal of electronic control unit 2.When the pedestrian rolls on car bonnet 500 with car bonnet 500 collisions (secondary collision) time, car bonnet 500 distortion are so that sink near the driving engine (not shown) in machinery space 400.In this case, in step S3, the lift unit 3 that receives the pedestrian impact signal upwards promotes car bonnet 500, makes that the distance between car bonnet 500 and the driving engine increases.Therefore, the pedestrian who falls on the car bonnet 500 can not bump against the driving engine with very big hardness.And, because the distance between the driving engine of car bonnet 500 and big hardness has increased, so car bonnet 500 is easier to owing to secondary collision is out of shape.Therefore, fall the more kinetic energy of the pedestrian on the car bonnet 500 can be by car bonnet 500 since its moderate finite deformation amount be absorbed.Thus, can reduce the impulsive contact force that in the secondary collision pedestrian applied.
So that when the direction of approximate vertical is takeoff, the front part of vehicle that has reduced will advance to pedestrian's below when pedestrian and vehicle front shock.Therefore, the pedestrian drops on the car bonnet 500 that is risen by lift unit 3.As mentioned above, car bonnet 500 distortion in case buffering to pedestrian's collision.
And, be sent to air bag 4 from the pedestrian impact signal of electronic control unit 2.Therefore, in step S4, open at least one in the lower surface of front pillar 600 and Windshield 700 of air bag 4, it also can be opened on car bonnet 500.Because air bag 4 launches on front part of vehicle, so can cushion secondary collision between pedestrian head and Windshield 700, front pillar 600 or the car bonnet 500.
In this embodiment, pedestrian detection device has reduced front part of vehicle so that will be directed on the car bonnet 500 with the pedestrian of vehicle 100 collisions.Simultaneously, car bonnet 500 rises so that reduce to be applied to impulsive contact force on the pedestrian.And air bag 4 launches so that further protect the pedestrian on car bonnet 500.Therefore, the pedestrian detection device pedestrian with vehicle 100 collision that can adequately protect.
In this embodiment, the height of vehicle rear does not change, and front part of vehicle has reduced.Therefore, whole vehicle 100 turns forward, and makes the car bonnet 500 of side of passenger accommodation 800 rise.Therefore, pedestrian head contacted so that have less kinetic energy with car bonnet 500 in the short time (short distance).Therefore, can alleviate injury to the pedestrian.
(other embodiment)
In above preferred embodiment, pedestrian protection is generally used in the este wagon.Yet the present invention is not limited to this.Pedestrian protection of the present invention also can be used for having other vehicles of engine case.
And, when front part of vehicle reduces, also can reduce the height of vehicle rear by the height adjusting unit 5 that is connected in rear portion vehicle suspension system 6.Therefore, the center of gravity of whole vehicle 100 is lowered, so that after collision, improves the stability of vehicle 100 immediately.
In a preferred embodiment, reduce the height of vehicle 100 by the bumper 63 of compression vehicle suspension system 6.Yet, also can reduce vehicle 100 by reducing pressure from vehicle suspension system separation damper (not shown) or by the tire pressure that makes wheel 300.
And in a preferred embodiment, coil spring 64 is pressed, so that compression shock absorption device 63.Have at vehicle under the situation of airsuspension system, the air in the airsuspension system can be drawn out of so that the compression shock absorption device.
And; if crash sensor 1 is configured to unique detection and pedestrian's collision; then electronic control unit 5 can be configured or be programmed for like this, is considering that other parameters for example determine whether activate different fender guard 3,4 and 5 under the situation of car speed.
