Abstract

The central flange is asymmetrically wider in the middle than at the mounting sections and the waist on the narrowest side of the central flange contains holes connected to the bumper mounting surfaces in order to assist bumper deformation. The bumper has a hat profile comprising a central flange, two waists and side flanges. The bumper is secured with the central flange facing outwards and has lateral mounting sections where the side flanges form mounting surfaces for securing to the vehicle.

Description

528 553 2 hattbalkens kulle. Centralflänsen har en långsträckt förstyvning i form av en rilla 16. Den kan sträcka sig över hela stötfångarbalkens längd som visas eller över endast en del av balken. Denna rilla kan vara djupare än visat och kan i ett extremfall vara så djup att skenan får en dubbelhattprofil. Man kan också alternativt ha två smalare rillor i bredd. 528 553 2 hat beams hill. The central flange has an elongate stiffness in the form of a groove 16. It can extend over the entire length of the bumper beam shown or over only a part of the beam. This groove can be deeper than shown and can in an extreme case be so deep that the rail has a double hat profile. You can also alternatively have two narrower grooves in width.

Liven har en svag bock 17,18 som fungerar som deformationstrigger.The waist has a weak buck 17,18 which acts as a deformation trigger.

Balken har två infästningspartier 20,21, där sidoflänsarna har plana delar 30-33 och ligger i ett och samma plan och har hål 22,23,24 i sina plana delar för att kunna fästas med skruv mot plana fästplattor på fordonet. Liven 12,13 är som högst i anslutning till infästningspartierna såsom och som lägst på mitten såsom framgår av tvärsektionerna enligt figurerna 5 och 6. Balkens profilhöjd på mitten är i det visade exemplet ungefär 40% av högsta profilhöjden. Profilhöjden på mitten kan lämpligen vara högst 2/3 av högsta profilhöjden och företrädesvis högst hälften därav för att minska balkens vikt. l vissa fall vill man emellertid ha stor profilhöjd även på mitten.The beam has two fastening portions 20,21, where the side flanges have flat parts 30-33 and lie in one and the same plane and have holes 22,23,24 in their flat parts to be able to be fastened with a screw against flat fastening plates on the vehicle. The waist 12,13 is at most adjacent to the fastening portions as and at the lowest in the middle as shown in the cross sections according to Figures 5 and 6. The beam height of the beam in the middle is in the example shown approximately 40% of the maximum beam height. The profile height in the middle can suitably be at most 2/3 of the highest profile height and preferably at most half thereof to reduce the weight of the beam. In some cases, however, you want a large profile height even in the middle.

Sidoflänsarna 14,15 har uppvikta kanter 26,27 hela vägen mellan infästningspartierna 20,21, medan sidoflänsarna i övrigt saknar uppvik. De uppvikta kanterna förstyvar balken och ger bättre deformationsegenskaper. Balkens profil framgår av sektionerna 5 och 6, som är visade i en enhetlig skala och är självförklarande. Livet 12 är utbuktande så att balken får osymmetriskt tvärsektion eftersom fordonets infästningsytor för stötfångarbalken är för högt för att balken ska kunna göras symmetrisk. Ett antal hål och urtagningar beror också på aktuella fordonets design och beskrivs inte närmare. De kan exempelvis vara avpassade för genomgång av dragögla eller vara avpassade för positionering vid montering.The side flanges 14,15 have folded edges 26,27 all the way between the fastening portions 20,21, while the side flanges otherwise have no folds. The folded edges stiffen the beam and provide better deformation properties. The profile of the beam is shown in sections 5 and 6, which are shown on a uniform scale and are self-explanatory. The web 12 is bulging so that the beam has an asymmetrical cross section because the vehicle's attachment surfaces for the bumper beam are too high for the beam to be made symmetrical. A number of holes and recesses also depend on the design of the vehicle in question and are not described in more detail. They can, for example, be adapted for the passage of the towing eye or be adapted for positioning during assembly.

Vid central krockbelastning i synnerhet får stötfångarbalken ett vridmoment på grund av att den är osymmetrisk genom att livet 12 buktar ut så att centralflänsen blir bredare åt det hållet. Det andra livet 13 buktar inte ut och centralflänsen är smalare åt det hållet.In the case of a central impact load in particular, the bumper beam is given a torque due to the fact that it is asymmetrical in that the web 12 bulges out so that the central flange becomes wider in that direction. The second web 13 does not bulge out and the central flange is narrower in that direction.

Stötfångarbalken tenderar att vrida sig nedåt-inåt när den belastas. Livet 13 har två hål 35,36 såväl i anslutning till sidoflänsens 14 infästningsyta 30 som vid dess infästningsyta 32, dvs vid infästningspartierna 20,21. Dessa hål ger en försvagning och fungerar som extra deformationstrigger och initierar deformation vid krockbelastning. Lämpligen skär hålen av den svaga bocken 17. Balkens vridning undviks genom att livet 13 deformeras 528 353 3 lättare i anslutning till infästningsytorna än vad livet 12 gör. Genom att ha två hål (eller flera) som är skilda åt med ett smalt band 37 bibehåller man god tolerans vid formningen.The bumper beam tends to turn downward-inward when loaded. The web 13 has two holes 35,36 both in connection with the attachment surface 30 of the side end 14 and at its attachment surface 32, i.e. at the attachment portions 20,21. These holes provide a weakening and act as extra deformation triggers and initiate deformation during impact loading. Suitably, the holes are cut by the weak bend 17. The rotation of the beam is avoided by deforming the web 13 more easily in connection with the fastening surfaces than the web 12 does. By having two holes (or fls) that are separated by a narrow band 37, good tolerance is maintained during molding.

Ett stort hål i stället för flera små fungerar, men skulle kunna försämra formningstoleransen. Man kan alternativt initiera deformation på annat sätt än med hål, exempelvis med veckbildning, men hål föredras.A large hole instead of several small ones works, but could impair the mold tolerance. Alternatively, deformation can be initiated in other ways than with holes, for example with creasing, but holes are preferred.

Som bäst framgår av figur 4 har sidoflänsarna 14,15 i alla fyra Övergångarna mellan deras plana delar 30-33 vid infästningspartierna och deras mittre delar med uppvikta kanter 26,27 givits en tvärgående buckla 29. Dessa buckior 29 i anslutningen till uppvikta kanternas början râtas lätt ut när balken böjs vid en kollision och minskar därigenom lokala dragpåkänningen i dessa känsliga områden av sidoflänsarna och minskar risken för sprickbildning.As best seen in Figure 4, the side flanges 14,15 in all four transitions between their flat portions 30-33 at the attachment portions and their central portions with folded edges 26,27 have been given a transverse dent 29. These dents 29 in connection with the beginning of the folded edges are straightened. easily out when the beam bends in a collision, thereby reducing the local tensile stress in these sensitive areas of the side flanges and reducing the risk of cracking.

Buckling av stötfångarbalken ger större skada ju närmare mitten den är eftersom momentarrnen mot infästningen blir som störst där. Om profilen är stark och inte böjer sig kommer en smal stolpe att kunna buckla profilen så att man får snabb kollaps. Om profilen är mer eftergivlig genom att ha en profilhöjd som minskar mot mitten kommer bucklingen att minska eller fördröjas och skenans rörelse mot fordonet kommer att reduceras. Rillan 16 ger en förstärkning mot lokal buckling av profilen i mittpartiet, men hindrar inte eftergivligheten.Buckling of the bumper beam causes greater damage the closer to the center it is because the torque angle towards the attachment is greatest there. If the profile is strong and does not bend, a narrow post will be able to dent the profile so that you get a quick collapse. If the profile is more resilient by having a profile height that decreases towards the center, the buckling will be reduced or delayed and the movement of the rail towards the vehicle will be reduced. The groove 16 provides a reinforcement against local buckling of the profile in the middle part, but does not prevent the resilience.

Den ovan beskrivna balken är tillverkad i varmformad och härdad stålplåt, lämpligen borlegerat manganstål. Alternativt kan den tillverkas genom kallformning av höghållfast kallformningsstål. Den behöver inte vara en funktionellt helt öppen profil såsom den visas utan den kan ha element som sammanbinder dess sidoflänsar. Den kan också vara tillverkad i annan metall än stålplåt exv, aluminium.The beam described above is made of hot-formed and hardened steel sheet, preferably boron-alloyed manganese steel. Alternatively, it can be manufactured by cold forming high-strength cold forming steel. It does not have to be a functionally completely open profile as it is shown, but it can have elements that connect its side edges. It can also be made of metal other than sheet steel, eg aluminum.
