일반적으로 차체 프레임의 전면과 후면에는 차량을 운행 시 차량 대 차량, 혹은 차량 대 보행자가 충돌하는 충돌사고가 발생하는 경우에도, 상기 충돌 시 발생되는 충돌에너지를 효과적으로 흡수 및 완화시켜, 차실에 탑승한 승원 및 보행자가 보호되도록 하는 범퍼가 고정되게 설치되어 있다. In general, even when a vehicle-to-vehicle or a vehicle-to-pedestrian collision occurs while driving a vehicle, the front and rear surfaces of the body frame effectively absorb and mitigate the collision energy generated during the collision, Fixed bumpers to protect crew and pedestrians.

여기에서 종래 자동차용 범퍼는 도 1에 도시하고 있는 바와 같이, 범퍼 스테이를 매개로 차체의 사이드멤버(Side Member)에 고정 설치되는 범퍼빔(130)과, 상기 범퍼빔(130)의 전면에 고정되게 설치되는 에너지업소버(120)와, 상기 에너지업소버(120)의 전방에 설치되는 외장재의 범퍼커버(110)로 구성되어 있다.As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional bumper for automobiles is fixed to a front surface of the bumper beam 130 and a bumper beam 130 fixed to a side member of a vehicle body via a bumper stay. It consists of an energy absorber 120, and a bumper cover 110 of the exterior material is installed in front of the energy absorber 120.

이러한 종래 자동차용 범퍼는 차량을 운행 중 충돌사고가 발생하여 보행자의 신체가 접촉하는 경우, 범퍼커버(110)에 가해진 충격량만큼 에너지업소버(120)가 변형되면서 충격에너지를 효과적으로 흡수 및 완화시켜 부상당하는 것이 억제되도록 하고 있다.Such a conventional bumper for automobiles is injured by effectively absorbing and mitigating impact energy while deforming the energy absorber 120 by the amount of impact applied to the bumper cover 110 when a collision accident occurs while driving a vehicle. Is suppressed.

그러나 이러한 종래 자동차용 범퍼는 보행자와 충돌사고가 발생 시 충돌에너지를 흡수하는 에너지업소버(120)의 단면적을 작게 형성하는 경우에는, 보행자 다리와 에너지업소버(120)의 접촉면적이 축소되는 것에 의해 경미한 충돌 시에도 보행자의 무릎 골절부위를 보호할 수 없게 되는 문제점이 있었다. However, such a conventional bumper for automobiles has a slight cross-sectional area of the energy absorber 120 that absorbs collision energy when a collision occurs with a pedestrian. Even in a collision, there was a problem that the knee fracture of the pedestrian could not be protected.

또한, 상기와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 에너지업소버(120)의 단면적을 증대시켜 범퍼커버(110)와 범퍼빔(130) 사이에 설치시에는 범퍼(100)의 돌출량이 증대되어 둔한 느낌을 주게 됨으로써, 차량의 외관미가 저하되어 차량의 상품성이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, in order to solve the above problems by increasing the cross-sectional area of the energy absorber 120 when installed between the bumper cover 110 and the bumper beam 130, the amount of protrusion of the bumper 100 is increased to give a dull feeling There is a problem in that the appearance of the vehicle is lowered and the merchandise of the vehicle is lowered.

본 발명의 목적은 범퍼의 돌출량을 최소화하여 범퍼의 외관성을 향상시킬 수 있도록 함과 동시에 차량을 운행 중 보행자의 신체와 접촉하는 충돌 및 추돌 사고가 발생하는 경우에도, 보행자 다리의 무릅 골절부가 효과적으로 보호될 수 있도록 하는 자동차용 범퍼를 제공하는 데 있다. An object of the present invention is to minimize the protrusion of the bumper to improve the appearance of the bumper and at the same time the knee fracture portion of the pedestrian leg, even in the event of a collision and collision accident in contact with the body of the pedestrian while driving the vehicle The present invention provides a bumper for a vehicle that can be effectively protected.

이러한 본 발명의 목적은, 범퍼 스테이를 매개로 차체의 사이드멤버(Side Member)에 고정 설치되는 범퍼빔(130)과, 상기 범퍼빔(130)의 전면에 고정 설치되는 보강구조물(140)과, 상기 보강구조물(140)의 전면에 고정 설치되는 에너지업소버(120)와, 상기 에너지업소버(120)의 전방에 설치되는 범퍼커버(110)로 구성되는 것에 의해 달성된다.The object of the present invention, the bumper beam 130 is fixed to the side member (Side Member) of the vehicle body via the bumper stay, and the reinforcement structure 140 is fixed to the front surface of the bumper beam 130, The energy absorber 120 is fixed to the front of the reinforcing structure 140, and the bumper cover 110 is provided by the front of the energy absorber 120 is achieved.

한편, 상기 보강구조물(140)은 상부와 하부에 전면 방향으로 소정각도 경사지게 형성된 변형부(141)가 형성됨을 밝혀 둔다. On the other hand, the reinforcing structure 140 turns out that the deformation portion 141 is formed to be inclined at a predetermined angle in the front direction on the top and bottom.

따라서 본 발명인 자동차용 범퍼는 차량을 운행중 충돌 및 추돌 사고가 발생하여 보행자의 신체와 범퍼커버(110)가 접촉 하게되면, 상기 범퍼커버(110)에 가해진 충격에너지만큼 보강구조물(140)의 변형부(141)가 상하로 각각 벌어지면서 상기 범퍼커버(110)가 상하로 확장되는 것에 의해 보행자의 다리와의 접촉면적이 증대된다.Therefore, when the bumper for a vehicle of the present invention causes a collision and a collision accident while driving a vehicle to come into contact with the body of the pedestrian and the bumper cover 110, the deformable portion of the reinforcing structure 140 is as much as the impact energy applied to the bumper cover 110. As the bumper cover 110 extends up and down as 141 is opened up and down, the contact area with the pedestrian's leg is increased.

그러므로 차량을 운행중 보행자의 신체와 접하는 접촉 및 충돌사고가 발생하는 경우, 범퍼커버(110)가 상하로 펼쳐지면서 보행자 다리의 무릅 골절부를 효과적으로 보호하게 됨은 물론, 범퍼(100)의 돌출량이 최소화되어 차양의 외관성이 향상되는 것이다.Therefore, when a contact and a collision accident in contact with the body of the pedestrian while driving the vehicle, the bumper cover 110 is extended up and down to effectively protect the knee fracture of the pedestrian legs, as well as the amount of protrusion of the bumper 100 is minimized The appearance is improved.

이하, 첨부된 도면에 의하여 본 발명의 그 기술적 구성을 상세히 설명하면 다음과 같다. Hereinafter, the technical configuration of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in detail as follows.

도 2는 본 발명인 자동차용 범퍼의 구성을 보인 개략적으로 보인 단면도 이고, 도 3은 본 발명인 자동차용 범퍼를 보인 일부절개 사시도 이다.Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the bumper for a vehicle of the present invention, Figure 3 is a partially cutaway perspective view showing a bumper for a vehicle of the present invention.

본 발명의 자동차용 범퍼는 도 2와 도 3에 도시하고 있는 바와 같이,As the bumper for automobiles of the present invention is shown in Figs. 2 and 3,

차체의 사이드멤버에는 범퍼빔(130)이 범퍼스테이를 매개로 하요 고정되어 있고, 상기 범퍼빔(130)의 전면에는 상하부에 각각의 변형부(141)가 전면으로 소정각도 경사지게 형성된 보강구조물(140)이 고정 설치되어 있으며, 상기 보강구조물(140)의 전면에는 에너지업소버(120)가 설치되어 있다.The bumper beam 130 is fixed to the side member of the vehicle body via the bumper stay, and the front and rear surfaces of the bumper beam 130 have respective deformable portions 141 inclined at a predetermined angle to the front and lower portions 140. ) Is fixedly installed, the energy absorber 120 is installed on the front of the reinforcing structure 140.

한편, 상기 에너지업소버(120)의 전방에는 외장재로서의 범퍼커버(110)가 설치되어 있다.On the other hand, the front of the energy absorber 120 is provided with a bumper cover 110 as an exterior material.

이와 같이 구성되는 본 발명의 자동차용 범퍼는 사이드멤버(미도시)에 범퍼빔(130)을 고정하고, 상기 범퍼빔(130)의 전면에 변형부(141)가 상하부에 각각 형성되어 있는 보강구조물(140)을 고정하며, 상기 보강구조물(140)의 전면에는 에너지업소버(120)를 고정한 후, 에너지업소버(120)의 전방으로 범퍼커버(110)를 설치하는 것에 의해 차체에 설치된다.The bumper for automobiles of the present invention configured as described above fixes the bumper beam 130 to a side member (not shown), and the reinforcing structure in which the deformation parts 141 are formed on the front and bottom of the bumper beam 130, respectively. The fixing unit 140 is fixed to the front side of the reinforcing structure 140, and then fixed to the energy absorber 120, and is installed in the vehicle body by installing the bumper cover 110 in front of the energy absorber 120.

이에 따라, 차량을 운행하는 보행자와 충돌 및 추돌 사고가 발생하여 범퍼커버(110)에 충격하중이 가해지면, 1차적으로 범퍼커버(110)를 통해 전달되는 충격에너지에 의해 에너지업소버(120)가 변형되면서 충격에너지를 흡수하며 보행자의 신체가 부상당하는 것을 억제하고, 상기 에너지업소버(120)가 충격을 흡수하고 남은 충격에너지는 보강구조물(140)의 상하부에 형성된 변형부(141)가 범퍼커버(110)의 내측면과 접하면서 차량의 후부로 변형되도록 펼쳐지면서 충격에너지가 흡수된다.Accordingly, when an impact load is applied to the bumper cover 110 due to a collision and a collision accident with a pedestrian running the vehicle, the energy absorber 120 is primarily driven by the impact energy transmitted through the bumper cover 110. Absorbs the impact energy while suppressing the injury of the pedestrian body, the energy absorber 120 absorbs the impact and the remaining impact energy is the deformable portion 141 formed on the upper and lower portions of the reinforcing structure 140 bumper cover ( Shock energy is absorbed while being deployed to be deformed to the rear of the vehicle while being in contact with the inner surface of the 110.

이때, 상기 범퍼커버(110)는 상하부가 변형부(141)에 의해 안내되면서 상하로 동시에 펼쳐지면서 보행자의 다리부와의 접촉면적이 증대되는 것에 의해 상기 보행자 다리부의 무릎 골절부위가 꺾이지 않게 된다.In this case, the bumper cover 110 is guided by the deformable portion 141 and is simultaneously extended up and down, thereby increasing the contact area with the leg portion of the pedestrian so that the knee fracture portion of the pedestrian leg portion is not bent.

또한, 상기 변형부(141)가 상하부에 각각 형성된 보강구조물(140)은 도 3에 도시하고 있는 바와 같이, 세로방향으로 소정의 간격을 두고 복수개 형성된 연결대(142)로 연결되어 있어, 상기 보강구조물을 차체의 전방에 설치하는 경우에도 차체의 중량이 과도하게 증가하지 않게 됨을 밝혀 둔다.In addition, the reinforcing structure 140 formed at the upper and lower portions of the deformable portion 141 is connected to a plurality of connecting rods 142 formed at a predetermined interval in the vertical direction, as shown in FIG. It is noted that even when the front of the vehicle body is installed, the weight of the vehicle body does not increase excessively.

따라서 이러한 본 발명은 차량을 운행중 충돌 및 추돌 사고가 발생하여 보행자의 다리부가 범퍼커버(110)에 접촉하는 경우에도, 상기가 보강구조물(140)의 변형부(141)에 의해 안내되면서 보행자 다리부와의 접촉면적이 확장되도록 상하로 펼쳐지는 것에 의해, 상기 보행자의 다리부의 무릎 골절부위에 꺾임 현상이 발생하지 않게 됨은 물론, 범퍼(100)의 돌출량이 최소화되어 차량의 상품성이 향상되도록 하는 효과가 있는 매우 유용한 발명이다.Therefore, in the present invention, even when a collision and a collision accident occurs while driving a vehicle, the pedestrian leg part is guided by the deformation part 141 of the reinforcing structure 140 even when the leg part of the pedestrian contacts the bumper cover 110. By spreading up and down to expand the contact area of the pedestrian, the bending phenomenon does not occur at the knee fracture portion of the leg part of the pedestrian, and the protrusion amount of the bumper 100 is minimized to improve the product quality of the vehicle. That is a very useful invention.
