Description

보행자 보호를 위한 카울판넬구조{COWLING PANEL FOR PEDESTRIAN}Cowl panel structure for pedestrian protection {COWLING PANEL FOR PEDESTRIAN}

본 발명은 보행자 보호를 위한 카울판넬 구조에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 보행자와 차량의 전면 충돌 사고시 카울그릴이 변형하며 충격을 흡수하여 보행자의 상해를 줄일 수 있도록 카울그릴의 형상을 변형시킨 것이다.The present invention relates to a cowl panel structure for pedestrian protection, and more particularly, to modify the shape of the cowl grill so that the cowl grill deforms and absorbs the shock in the event of a front collision between the pedestrian and the vehicle to reduce shocks.

일반적으로 차량의 전면에는 도 1에서 도시하고 있는 바와 같이, 차량의 전면에 형성된 엔진룸(10)을 보호하도록 개폐 가능하게 설치된 본네트(11)와 차량을 운행하는 운전자가 주행풍등에 의한 영향을 받지 않으며 운행이 이루어지도록 하는 윈드실드(30)와의 사이에는 카울판넬(40)이 설치되고, 상기 카울판넬(40)의 상부에는 외부에서 카울판넬(40)이 보이지 않도록 하는 카울그릴(43)이 설치되어 있다.In general, as shown in FIG. 1, the front of the vehicle is not affected by the driving wind, such as the bonnet 11 installed to be opened and closed to protect the engine room 10 formed on the front of the vehicle and the driver. The cowl panel 40 is installed between the windshield 30 to operate the cowl, and the cowl grill 43 is installed on the cowl panel 40 so that the cowl panel 40 is not visible from the outside. It is.

즉, 도 2에서와 같이 자동차의 엔진룸(10) 상부로는 본네트(11)가 형성되어 있으며, 상기 본네트(11)의 일측하단부로는 카울판넬(40)이 설치된다.That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the bonnet 11 is formed at an upper portion of the engine room 10 of the vehicle, and a cowl panel 40 is installed at one lower end of the bonnet 11.

또, 상기 카울판넬(40)은 카울업 판넬(42)과 카울다운 판넬(41)등으로 나우어 지며, 상기의 판넬등은 금속부재를 사용한다.In addition, the cowl panel 40 is divided into a cowl up panel 42 and a cowl down panel 41, and the like.

또한, 상기 카울판넬(40)은 엔진룸(10)과 차실내를 분리 시켜주는 대쉬판넬(20)과 고정설치된다.In addition, the cowl panel 40 is fixedly installed with the dash panel 20 that separates the engine room 10 from the interior of the vehicle.

즉, 상기 카울업 판넬(42)과 카울다운 판넬(41)이 대쉬판넬(20)과 고정설치되고, 카울업 판넬(42)은 윈드실드(30)를 지지하는 역할을 한다.That is, the cowl panel 42 and the cowl panel 41 are fixed to the dash panel 20, and the cowl panel 42 serves to support the windshield 30.

그리고, 상기 카울판넬(40)과 본네트(11) 사이로는 합성수지재의 카울그릴(43)이 위치되며, 상기 카울그릴(43)의 일측부로는 웨더 스트립을 장착하여 빗물등의 이물질의 침투를 방지하며, 내부의 카울판넬(40)을 보이지 않도록 한다.A cowl grill 43 of synthetic resin is positioned between the cowl panel 40 and the bonnet 11, and one side of the cowl grill 43 is equipped with a weather strip to prevent infiltration of foreign matter such as rainwater. Do not see the cowl panel 40 inside.

또, 상기 윈드실드(30)의 외측을 지지하여 내측의 카울업 판넬(42)과 같이고정하게 한다.In addition, the outside of the windshield 30 is supported to be fixed as the inner cow up panel 42.

따라서, 차량의 충돌시의 받는 충격에너지를 카울판넬(40)등이 흡수하여 차체의 변형을 감소시킬 수 있게 한 것이다.Therefore, the cowl panel 40 or the like absorbs the impact energy at the time of the collision of the vehicle to reduce the deformation of the vehicle body.

그러나, 종래의 카울판넬은 금속부재를 사용하여 차체의 변형이 쉽게 이루어 지지 않고 차체 단면이 버틸 수 있는 허용응력 이상의 충격에서 변형이 이루어 지게 된다.However, in the conventional cowl panel, the deformation of the vehicle body is not easily achieved by using a metal member, and the deformation is performed at an impact higher than the allowable stress that the vehicle body section can withstand.

따라서, 차량과 성인의 보행자와의 충돌시 본네트 상부로 보행자의 머리가 충돌 하게 되며, 이때 보행자에게 가해지는 충격이 감소되지 않게 되어 보행자에게 심한 충격을 주게 된다.Therefore, when the vehicle collides with the pedestrian of the adult, the head of the pedestrian collides with the upper part of the bonnet. At this time, the impact on the pedestrian is not reduced.

본 발명의 목적은, 카울판넬 중 카울다운 판넬을 제거하고 상기 위치에 일체화된 카울그릴을 형성 시킴으로써, 충격에 쉽게 변형되도록 한 보행자 보호를 위한 카울판넬 구조에 관한 것이다.An object of the present invention relates to a cowl panel structure for pedestrian protection that is easily deformed by impact by removing the cowl down panel of the cowl panel and forming a cowl grill integrated at the location.

본 발명의 다른 목적은, 종래의 카울다운 판넬을 제거하여 부품 및 공정수를 감소하여 편의성 향상 및 원가 절감의 효과를 증대시키도록 한 보행자 보호를 위한 카울판넬 구조에 관한 것이다.Another object of the present invention relates to a cowl panel structure for pedestrian protection by removing the conventional cowl down panel to reduce the number of parts and processes to increase the convenience and cost reduction effect.

이러한 본 발명의 목적은, 윈드실드(30)가 상부면에 놓여지는 카울업판넬(42)에 엔진룸(10)과 차실내를 분리시켜주는 대쉬판넬(20)의 일측단부가 결합되고, 상기 카울업판넬(42)에 놓여진 윈드실드(30)의 전면하부에는 카울그릴(43)의 일측단부가 결합되는 것에 있어서, 상기 카울그릴(43)의 타측단부가 절곡연장형성되어 대쉬판넬(20)의 타측단부에 접합되는 것에 의해 달성된다.An object of the present invention, the windshield 30 is coupled to one side end of the dash panel 20 separating the engine room 10 and the vehicle interior to the cowl panel 42 is placed on the upper surface, One side end of the cowl grill 43 is coupled to the front lower portion of the windshield 30 placed on the cowl panel 42, and the other end of the cowl grill 43 is bent to extend the dash panel 20. It is achieved by joining to the other end of the.

따라서, 차량을 운행중 보행자와의 충돌사고가 발생하여 보행자의 머리가 본네트에 충돌시 카울그릴(43)의 절곡 여장부가 변형 및 파손되면서 충격을 흡수하게 된다.이하, 첨부된 도면에 의거하여 본 고안의 바람직한 실시 예를 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다.Therefore, the collision accident with the pedestrian occurs while the vehicle is in operation, and the bending guiding part of the cowl grill 43 is deformed and damaged when the head of the pedestrian collides with the bonnet, thereby absorbing the impact. Hereinafter, the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

도 3은 본 발명인 카울그릴의 형상을 도시한 카울구조를 나타낸 것이다.Figure 3 shows a cowl structure showing the shape of the cowl grill of the present invention.

즉, 차량이 보행자와의 충돌시에 보행자의 머리부는 차량의 본네트(11)상부지점과 충돌하며 충격을 받게 된다.That is, when the vehicle collides with the pedestrian, the head of the pedestrian collides with the upper portion of the bonnet 11 of the vehicle and is shocked.

따라서, 상기 충돌에 따른 본네트(11)의 상부 지점의 저부로는 일측은 대쉬판넬(20)과 고정되며, 다른 일측은 윈드실드(30)와 고정되어지는 카울그릴(43)이 설치된다.Therefore, as the bottom of the upper point of the bonnet 11 according to the collision, one side is fixed to the dash panel 20, the other side is provided with a cowl grill 43 is fixed to the windshield 30.

또, 보행자가 충돌에 의해 쓰러지며 본네트(11)에 가해지는 충격은 직각이 아닌 대각선의 방향을 띠게 되며, 이에따라 카울그릴(43)의 저부형상도 각도를 가지며, 대쉬판넬(20)과 고정설치된다.In addition, the pedestrian is collapsing by impact and the impact on the bonnet 11 has a diagonal direction rather than a right angle, and accordingly has a bottom shape angle of the cowl grill 43, and fixed installation with the dash panel 20 do.

이때, 상기 카울그릴(43)의 절곡연장구간은 충격에 의한 변형이 이루어지는 구간까지만 형성되며, 이에 따라 대쉬판널(20)의 길이를 연장하여 상기 카울그릴(43)과 고정시키도록 한다.At this time, the bending extension section of the cowl grill 43 is formed only up to a section in which deformation due to impact is made, thereby extending the length of the dash panel 20 to fix the cowl grill 43.

그리고, 카울그릴(43)은 합성수지재로 형성되며, 부분 절곡 되어 차량 외부의 이물질 침투등을 방지하는 역할도 한다.The cowl grill 43 is formed of a synthetic resin material, and is partially bent to serve to prevent foreign substances from penetrating the outside of the vehicle.

즉, 카울그릴(43)은 일단부와 타측단부가 각각, 대쉬판넬(20)과 윈드실드(30)에 고정설치되는 것이다.That is, the cowl grill 43 is one end and the other end is fixed to the dash panel 20 and the wind shield 30, respectively.

따라서, 차량과 보행자의 충돌시 충격에너지가 카울그릴(43)이 변형 및 파손되는 것에 흡수 됨으로써, 보행자가 받는 충격이 감소되는 것이다.Therefore, the impact energy is absorbed when the cowl grill 43 deforms and breaks when the vehicle collides with the pedestrian, thereby reducing the impact the pedestrian receives.

상기와 같은 본 발명의 구성에 의하면, 합성수지재의 카울그릴을 사용하여 차량과 보행자의 충돌시 카울그릴이 변형되며 충격에너지를 흡수하므로, 보행자의 안전에 대한 성능이 향상되고 보행자의 상해치가 감소된다.According to the configuration of the present invention as described above, the cow grill is deformed when the vehicle and the pedestrian collides using the cowl grill of synthetic resin material and absorbs the impact energy, thereby improving the performance of pedestrian safety and reducing the injury value of the pedestrian.

또, 카울다운 판넬의 부품 및 조립공정을 폐지함으로써 원가감소 및 생산성향상등을 얻을 수 있는 매우 유용한 발명인 것이다.In addition, it is a very useful invention that can reduce the cost and productivity by abolishing the parts and assembly process of the cowl down panel.
