As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, an outer panel 110 of a front side member 10 is provided, which includes a first body 111 disposed adjacent to a front impact beam 30, and a second body 112 disposed away from the front impact beam 30. The first body 111 is connected to the second body 112, and the thickness of the first body 111 is smaller than that of the second body 112.
In the outer panel 110 of the front side member 10 of the above embodiment, when a collision occurs, the collision force passes through the front impact beam and is transmitted to the first body 111 and the second body 112 in this order, and then the collision force is transmitted to the footrest (not shown), the torsion box (not shown), and the a-pillar inner panel 30, and finally the collision force is transmitted to the rocker 40, which is excellent in the transmission effect of the collision force. Meanwhile, since the thickness of the first body 111 is smaller than that of the second body 112, when the impact of the collision force is received, the outer plate 110 is progressively crushed along the length direction, so that the collision energy can be better absorbed, and the safety of the passenger can be further protected.
It should be noted that the first body 111 and the second body 112 may be configured in a plate shape or a strip shape. The connection mode of the first body 111 and the second body 112 can be realized by riveting, welding or screwing and the like, and only the requirement that the first body 111 and the second body 112 can be connected and the collision force can be transmitted and the first body and the second body can absorb the collision energy is ensured.
In one embodiment, the first body 111 is welded to the second body 112. Thus, the first body 111 and the second body 112 are stably and reliably connected by welding, so that the collision force can be reliably and smoothly transmitted to the second body 112 through the first body 111, and the transmission effect on the collision force is good; meanwhile, the deformation of the first body 111 and the second body 112 under the impact force is not affected, so that the impact energy is absorbed. The laser tailor-welding mode is preferred, the welding speed is high, and the deformation is small.
In one embodiment, the thickness of the first body 111 increases in a direction away from the front impact beam 30 (as shown in direction a of fig. 1). So, when receiving the collision for first body 111 is the formula of stepping on crushing deformation, and is more even to the absorption of collision energy, and it is effectual to absorb. The first body 111 may be made of high strength steel plate, aluminum alloy, or the like. Preferably, the thickness of the first body 111 increases linearly along the direction away from the front impact beam 30, so that the progressive crushing deformation effect is better.
In one embodiment, the thickness of the second body 112 increases in a direction away from the front impact beam 30 (as shown in direction a of fig. 1). Thus, when the vehicle is collided, the second body 112 is deformed in a progressive crushing manner, so that the collision energy is absorbed more uniformly, and the absorption effect is good. The second body 112 may be made of high-strength steel plate, aluminum alloy, or the like. Preferably, the thickness of the second body 112 increases linearly in a direction away from the front impact beam 30, so that the progressive crushing deformation effect is better.
In one embodiment, the thickness of the first body 111 is gradually increased along the direction away from the front impact beam 30, and the thickness of the second body 112 is gradually increased along the direction away from the front impact beam 30, so that the thickness of the entire outer panel 110 is gradually increased along the direction away from the front impact beam 30, and the outer panel 110 is gradually crushed and deformed when being impacted, and the impact energy is absorbed effectively.
It should be noted that the thickness of the first body 111 and the thickness of the second body 112 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual use requirements, and only basic strength requirements, rigidity requirements and support performance need to be met. The first body 111 and the second body 112 may be made of high strength steel plate, aluminum alloy, or the like.
As shown in fig. 3, in addition to any of the above embodiments, the first body 111 is provided with a crush rib 1111. This is advantageous in that the first body 111 can be sufficiently crushed when receiving a collision force, and can absorb more energy. The crush ribs 1111 may be formed by being recessed or protruding from the surface of the first body 111, and only need to be able to promote the first body 111 to be crushed. The crush ribs 1111 are preferably provided in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outer panel 110.
As shown in fig. 3, in addition to any of the above embodiments, the second body 112 is provided with a crush rib 1123. Thus, when the second body 112 receives the collision force, the second body 112 can be bent at the position where the crush rib 1123 is disposed, which is beneficial to controlling the collision posture of the vehicle body and can better absorb and buffer the collision energy. The crush ribs 1123 may be formed by being recessed or protruding from the surface of the second body 112, and only need to promote the bending of the second body 112. The direction in which the crush ribs 1123 are provided is preferably perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the outer panel 110.
As shown in fig. 3, it is needless to say that the crush ribs 1111 may be provided on the first body 111 and the crush ribs 1123 may be provided on the second body 112. Thus, the outer panel 110 can absorb the collision energy sufficiently and is also advantageous for controlling the collision posture of the vehicle body.
As shown in fig. 3, on the basis of any of the above embodiments, the second body 112 includes a first connecting section 1121 and a second connecting section 1122. One end of the first connection segment 1121 is connected to the first body 111 by welding, riveting or screwing, and the other end of the first connection segment 1121 is connected to the second connection segment 1122. In this way, the collision force can be transmitted to the first body 111, the first connecting section 1121, and the second connecting section 1122 in this order, and finally transmitted to the vehicle body structure such as the rocker 40. The width of the second connection section 1122 is greater than the width of the first connection section 1121. In this way, the collision force transmitted from the first connection segment 1121 to the second connection segment 1122 can be transmitted more dispersedly, the transmission area of the collision force is increased, and the transmission effect of the collision force is improved. The first connecting section 1121 and the second connecting section 1122 can be formed by integral molding.
As shown in fig. 3, in particular, the second connecting segment 1122 includes a first side surface 1124 and a second side surface 1125, and the distance between the first side surface 1124 and the second side surface 1125 increases in a direction away from the front impact beam 30 (as shown in a direction of fig. 3). In this manner, the first side 1124 and the second side 1125 are flared (as shown in FIG. 3, L)2Is greater than L1Length of the first connection segment 1121) so that the collision force transmitted in the longitudinal direction of the first connection segment 1121 can be transmitted toward the upper side or the lower side, that is, the collision force can be dispersed, and the transmission effect of the collision force is better.
Similarly, the thickness of the second connecting section 1122 is greater than that of the first connecting section 1121, so that the first connecting section 1121 and the second connecting section 1122 can also be progressively crushed, and the impact energy absorption effect is good. The thickness of the first connecting section 1121 is set to increase progressively in a direction away from the front impact beam 30; increase progressively along keeping away from preceding crashproof roof beam 30 direction with the thickness setting of second linkage 1122 for the thickness of second body 112 increases progressively along keeping away from preceding crashproof roof beam 30 direction, and when receiving the collision, second body 112 is the progressive crushing deformation, and is effectual to the absorption of collision energy.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, there is also provided a front side member 10, including an inner panel 120 and the outer panel 110 of any of the above embodiments; the inner plate 120 includes a third body 121 close to the front impact beam 30 and a fourth body 122 far away from the front impact beam 30, the third body 121 is connected with the fourth body 122, the thickness of the third body 121 is smaller than that of the fourth body 122, and the first body 111, the second body 112, the third body 121 and the fourth body 122 can cooperate to form a buffer structure for absorbing impact energy.
In the front side member 10 of the above embodiment, when a collision occurs, the collision force is transmitted to the buffer structure through the front impact beam, and the collision force can be transmitted by the buffer structure and the collision energy can be absorbed by the deformation of the buffer structure, so that the safety of the driver and the passenger can be ensured. Wherein, the collision force passes through the first body 111 and the second body 112 on the outer plate 110 in sequence, then passes through the rocker plate, the torsion box and the A-pillar inner plate 30 and finally is transmitted to the doorsill 40; the collision force is transmitted to the dash cross member 50 and finally to the center tunnel 60 through a portion of the third body 121 and the fourth body 122 on the inner panel in sequence, and the other portion is transmitted to the rocker 40 through the rocker panel, the torsion box, and the a-pillar inner panel 30, thereby enhancing the transmission effect of the collision force. Meanwhile, since the thickness of the first body 111 is smaller than that of the second body 112, and the thickness of the third body 121 is smaller than that of the fourth body 122, when the impact of the collision force is received, the buffer structure is progressively crushed along the length direction, so that the collision energy can be better absorbed, and the safety of the passenger can be protected.
The first body 111 may be connected to the third body 121 by welding, and the second body may be connected to the fourth body 122 by welding, so that the outer plate 110 and the inner plate 120 are connected to each other.
In order to ensure that the front side member 10 can transmit the collision force more effectively and absorb the collision energy more effectively, the structures of the inner panel 120 and the outer panel 110 may be the same or approximately the same.
Specifically, the thickness of the third body 121 increases in a direction away from the front impact beam 30; the thickness of the fourth body 122 is set to increase in a direction away from the front impact beam 30. Therefore, the thickness of the whole buffer structure is increased progressively along the direction away from the front anti-collision beam 30, and the buffer structure is deformed in progressive crushing when being collided, so that the impact energy absorption effect is good.
The third body 121 and the fourth body 122 may be made of high strength steel plate, aluminum alloy, or the like. Preferably, the thickness of the third body 121 and the thickness of the fourth body 122 are linearly increased along the direction away from the front impact beam 30, so that the progressive crushing deformation effect is better, and the impact energy absorption effect is better. The connection mode of the third body 121 and the fourth body 122 can be realized by riveting, welding or screwing, and the like, and only the requirements that the third body 121 and the fourth body 122 can be connected, the collision force can be transmitted, and the deformation of the third body 121 and the fourth body 122 can be ensured to absorb the collision energy are met; preferably, a laser tailor-welding mode is adopted, the welding speed is high, and the deformation is small.
Of course, the crush ribs 1111 may be provided on the third body 121 and the crush ribs 1123 may be provided on the fourth body 122. Thus, the inner plate 120 can better fully absorb the collision energy and is also beneficial to controlling the collision posture of the vehicle body; the crush ribs 1111 are arranged on the first body 111 and the crush ribs 1123 are arranged on the second body 112, so that the whole front longitudinal beam 10 can better absorb the collision energy, and the control of the collision posture of the vehicle body is facilitated.
The structure of the fourth body 122 may also be similar to that of the second body 112, and in particular, it may be that the fourth body 122 includes a third connecting section (not labeled) and a fourth connecting section (not labeled). One end of the third connecting section is connected with the third body 121 by welding, riveting or screwing, and the other end of the third connecting section is connected with the fourth connecting section. In this manner, the collision force can be transmitted on the third body 121, the third connecting segment, and the fourth connecting segment and finally transmitted to the center tunnel 60. The width of the fourth connecting section is larger than that of the third connecting section. Therefore, the collision force transmitted to the fourth connecting section by the third connecting section can be transmitted more dispersedly, the transmission area of the collision force is increased, and the transmission effect of the collision force is better.
More specifically, the fourth connecting section includes a third side (not labeled) and a fourth side (not labeled), and the distance between the third side and the fourth side increases in a direction away from the front impact beam 30. Therefore, the contour formed by the third side face and the fourth side face is in a horn mouth shape, so that the collision force transmitted along the length direction of the third connecting section can be transmitted towards the upper side or the lower side, namely the collision force is dispersed, and the transmission effect of the collision force is better.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, a vehicle body is further provided, and includes the front side member 10 of any one of the above embodiments.
When the vehicle body of the embodiment is impacted by the collision force, the collision force passes through the front anti-collision beam and then is sequentially transmitted to the buffer structure of the front longitudinal beam, the collision force can be transmitted by using the buffer structure, and the collision energy is absorbed by using the deformation of the buffer structure, so that the safety of a driver and passengers can be ensured. Wherein, the collision force passes through the first body 111 and the second body 112 on the outer plate 110 of the buffer structure in sequence, then passes through the stop plate, the torsion box and the A-pillar inner plate 30 and finally is transmitted to the doorsill 40; after the collision force sequentially passes through the third body 121 and the fourth body 122 on the inner panel 120 of the cushion structure, a portion of the collision force is transmitted to the cowl cross member 50 and finally to the center tunnel 60, and another portion of the collision force is transmitted to the rocker 40 through the rocker panel, the torsion box, and the a-pillar inner panel 30, thereby enhancing the effect of transmitting the collision force. Meanwhile, since the thickness of the first body 111 is smaller than that of the second body 112, and the thickness of the third body 121 is smaller than that of the fourth body 122, when the impact of the collision force is received, the buffer structure is progressively crushed along the length direction, so that the collision energy can be better absorbed, and the safety of the passenger can be protected.
In one embodiment, a vehicle is also provided, including the body of the above-described embodiments.
The vehicle of the embodiment has good effects of transmitting the collision force and absorbing the collision energy, and can ensure the safety of passengers and drivers.
The technical features of the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined, and for the sake of brevity, all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are not described, but should be considered as the scope of the present specification as long as there is no contradiction between the combinations of the technical features.
The above examples only represent some embodiments of the present invention, and the description thereof is more specific and detailed, but not to be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, several variations and modifications can be made, which are within the scope of the present invention.
