Abstract

Install the knee bolster supporting bracket(10) provided at the knee bolster(4) on the tie bar(2) spanning the hinge pillars installed on both sides of the front panel. With this structure, the contact area of the knee bolster supporting bracket(10) with the knee bolster(4) is widened. As the knee bolster supporting bracket(10) is in contact with the total length of the knee bolster(4) longitudinally, at the time of bumping on the side or from other directions, a deformation of the knee bolster(4) is minimized and the possibility of the lower body of the rider being sucked below the instrument panel(5) at the time of the puncture of the air bag is also minimized.

본 발명은 차량의 니볼스터(Knee Bolster)의 지지브라켓에 관한 것으로, 특히 차량충돌시 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자의 하체가 인스트루먼트 판넬의 밑으로 밀려들어가는 현상을 방지하는 니볼스터의 변형편차를 최소화시킬 수 있도록 한 차량의 니볼스터(Knee Bolster) 지지브라켓에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a support bracket of a knee bolster of a vehicle, and in particular, to minimize the deformation of the knee bolster which prevents the driver's and passenger's lower body from being pushed under the instrument panel during a vehicle crash. It relates to the knee bolster support bracket of a vehicle.

일반적으로 자동차는 차체와 섀시로 나누어지는데, 차체는 사람이 타는 부분으로서, 외부 및 내부 구성부분과 내장부분으로 이루어져 있는 것으로, 외부 구성부분은 승차석 등의 차실, 도어, 엔진실, 트렁크실, 펜더 등으로 구성되어 있고, 내부 구성부분은 외부 구성부분을 지지하여 차체 전체의 강도를 확보하고 있는 부분이며 프런트 판넬(대쉬판넬), 플로워판넬, 리어판넬(백판넬) 등으로 구성되어 있으며, 내장부분은 인스트루먼트 판넬, 콘솔박스 등과 같은 내장품, 바닥에 까는 카펫트, 시트 등으로 구성되어 있어 운전자 및 탑승자에 필요한 안정성, 공간, 쾌적함 등의 요소를 갖추고 있다.In general, a car is divided into a car body and a chassis. The car body is a human part, and is composed of external and internal components and internal parts. The external components include a passenger compartment such as a passenger seat, a door, an engine compartment, a trunk compartment, It is composed of fenders, etc. The internal components support the external components to secure the strength of the entire body, and consist of a front panel (dash panel), a floor panel and a rear panel (back panel). The part consists of interior panels such as instrument panels, console boxes, floor carpets, seats, etc., which provide elements such as stability, space, and comfort required for drivers and passengers.

상기한 프런트 판넬에 계기판이나 오디오장치 등을 설치하기 위한 인스트루먼트 판넬이 설치되는데, 제1도와 제2도에 도시한 바와 같이 상기 프런트 판넬 좌우양측에 사이드 힌지필라(side hinge pillar)(1)가 부착되고, 양측 사이드 힌지필라(1)에 파이프형상의 타이바(Tie bar)(2)가 횡으로 설치되어 상기 인스트루먼트 판넬(5)이 설치된다.An instrument panel for installing an instrument panel or an audio device is installed on the front panel, and side hinge pillars 1 are attached to left and right sides of the front panel as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Then, pipe-shaped tie bars 2 are laterally installed on both side hinge pillars 1 so that the instrument panel 5 is installed.

이렇게 설치된 타이바(2)에는 차량충돌시 운전석과 조수석의 탑승자의 손상을 방지하면서도 하체가 인스트루먼트 판넬(5) 밑으로 밀려 들어가는 것을 방지하는 니볼스터(4)를 지지하기 위해 니볼스터 지지브라켓(3)이 설치된다.The tie bar (2) thus installed has a nibolster support bracket (3) to support the knee bolster (4) which prevents the lower body from being pushed under the instrument panel (5) while preventing damage to the occupants of the driver's seat and the passenger seat during a vehicle crash. ) Is installed.

그런데, 이 니볼스터 지지브라켓(3)이 차량의 정면충돌시를 가정하여 제2도의 측단면도에 도시한 바와 같이, 니볼스터(4)의 상부에 설치되도록 설계되어 있기 때문에 니볼스터(4)의 상부에서만 강성을 발휘하게 된다.However, since the nibolster support bracket 3 is designed to be installed on the upper portion of the nibolster 4 as shown in the side sectional view of FIG. It only exerts rigidity at the top.

따라서, 차량충돌이 정면이 아닌 측면충돌이거나 여러 다른 각도에서의 충돌일 경우에는 니볼스터 지지브라켓(3)의 강성변화가 심해 법규(FMVSS 208)에 규정된 10KN을 초과하게 되면, 니볼스터(4)에 부딪히는 하체의 위치에 따른 니볼스터(4)의 변형편차가 심해 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자에 가해지는 충격이 증가하는 문제점이 있었다.Therefore, when the vehicle collision is not a frontal collision or a collision from different angles, when the stiffness change of the nibolster support bracket 3 exceeds 10 KN specified in the law (FMVSS 208), the nibolster 4 Deformation deviation of the nibolster (4) according to the position of the lower body hitting a) was severe, there was a problem that the impact on the driver and the passenger seat occupant increased.

따라서 본 발명은 상기한 문제점을 고려하여 차량충돌시 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자의 하체가 인스트루먼트 판넬 밑으로 밀려들어가는 것, 즉 서브마린(Sub Marine) 현상을 최대한 방지하면서 니볼스터의 변형편차를 최소화하여 에어백의 효과를 극대화시키므로써 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자의 신체에 가해지는 상해를 최소화시킬 수 있도록 한 차량의 니볼스터 지지브라켓을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention minimizes deformation of the Nibolster while minimizing deformation of the Nibolster while preventing the submarine from being pushed under the instrument panel when the vehicle crashes into the driver and passenger seat occupants. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a nibolster support bracket for a vehicle that can minimize the injuries to the body of the driver and passenger seat by maximizing.

상기한 본 발명의 목적은 프런트 판넬 좌우양측의 사이드 힌지필라(side hinge pillar)(1)에 횡으로 설치된 타이바(Tie bar)에 니볼스터의 종길이와 일치접면되는 니볼스터 지지브라켓을 설치하여 구성하므로써 달성되는 것이다.The object of the present invention described above is to install a nibolster support bracket that is in contact with the longitudinal length of the nibolster in a tie bar horizontally installed on side hinge pillars 1 on both sides of the front panel. This is achieved by constructing.

이하, 본 발명의 기술구성과 그 작용효과를 첨부한 일실시예의 도면에 의거하여 상세하게 기술하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the technical configuration of the present invention and its working effects will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings of an embodiment.

즉, 제3도의 니볼스터 지지브라켓을 나타낸 사시도와 제4도의 니볼스터 지지브라켓의 설치상태도에 도시한 바와 같이, 프런트 판넬 좌우양측의 사이드 힌지필라(side hinge pillar)(1)에 횡으로 설치된 타이바(Tie bar)(2)에 니볼스터(4)의 종(세로)길이와 일치접면되는 니볼스터 지지브라켓(10)을 설치하여 구성한 것이다.That is, as shown in the perspective view showing the nibolster support bracket of FIG. 3 and the installation state of the nibolster support bracket of FIG. The bar (Tie bar) 2 is configured by installing a nibolster support bracket (10) in contact with the longitudinal (length) length of the nibolster (4).

즉, 타이바(2)에 한쌍의 지지대(11)에 상하가 부착된 니볼스터(Knee Bolster) 지지브라켓(10)을 설치하여 구성한 것이다.That is, it is configured by installing a knee bolster support bracket (10) attached to the top and bottom on the pair of support (11) on the tie bar (2).

상기와 같이 구성하므로써 니볼스터 지지브라켓(10)이 니볼스터(4)에 접촉되는 면적이 넓어지는 것이다.By configuring as described above, the area in which the nibolster support bracket 10 is in contact with the nibolster 4 is widened.

이와 같이 구성한 타이바(2)의 니볼스터 지지브라켓(10)은 제3도에 도시한 바와 같이, 니볼스터(4)의 종길이 전체와 접면되어 설치되기 때문에 측면 및 여러 다른 각도에서의 차량충돌시에 니볼스터(4)의 변형편차가 줄어들어 에어백이 터질 때, 하체가 인스트루먼트 판넬(5) 밑으로 밀려들어가는 것을 최소화하여 에어백의 효과를 극대화할 수 있게 되는 것이다.As shown in FIG. 3, the nibolster support bracket 10 of the tie bar 2 constructed as described above is installed in contact with the entire longitudinal length of the nibolster 4, so that the vehicle collides from the side and various angles. When the deformation deviation of the nibolster (4) is reduced at the time when the airbag bursts, it is possible to maximize the effect of the airbag by minimizing the lower body is pushed under the instrument panel (5).

즉, 에어백은 차량이 충돌하여 그 충격에 의해 작동되는 것으로, 차량충돌시, 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자의 머리 및 상체가 에어백에 부딪혀 상해를 최소화해야 하는데, 만약 하체가 인스트루먼트 판넬(5) 밑으로 밀려들어가면, 머리 및 상체의 보호효과가 저하되게 되는 것이다.That is, the airbag is operated by the impact of the vehicle collision, and when the vehicle crashes, the head and upper body of the driver and the passenger occupant should hit the airbag to minimize the injury, if the lower body is pushed under the instrument panel (5) The protective effect of the head and upper body will be reduced.

따라서 상기과 같이 니볼스터 지지브라켓(10)의 니볼스터(4) 접촉면적을 넓혀 구성하므로써 차량충돌시에 니볼스터(4)의 변형편차가 최소화되어 에어백의 효과가 극대됨으로써 운전석 및 조수석 탑승자의 안전도가 향상되는 것이다.Therefore, as described above, by widening the contact area of the nibolster 4 of the nibolster support bracket 10, the deformation deviation of the nibolster 4 is minimized at the time of the vehicle collision, thereby maximizing the effect of the airbag, so that the safety of the driver and passenger seat occupants To improve.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명은 차량충돌시 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자의 무릎이 부딪히게 되는 인스트루먼트 판넬내의 니볼스터를 지지하고 있는 타이바의 니볼스터 지지브라켓의 니볼스터 접촉면적을 넓혀, 즉 니볼스터의 종길이에 일치되게 니볼스터 지지브라켓을 구성하여 운전자 및 조수석 탑승자의 신체에 가해지는 상해를 최소화시킬 수 있도록 한 것이다.As described above, the present invention extends the nibolster contact area of the nibolster support bracket of the tie bar supporting the nibolster in the instrument panel where the knees of the driver and the passenger seat collide with each other when the vehicle crashes. The Nibolster support bracket is constructed to match the length so that the injury to the driver and passenger occupant's body can be minimized.
