Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle bumper system for improved bending strength, impact resistance, and pedestrian safety, and more particularly relates to a structural beam having a multi-concavity-defining cross section or an S-shaped cross section across a substantial length of the beam.
- the beam is particularly useful for primary beams in low weight vehicles and/or as a compliment to the vehicle's primary beam in a pedestrian impact application.
- the present beam is not believed to be limited to only vehicle front bumpers, nor to only pedestrian safety, but is believed relevant to any structural impact beam where the beam's shape, bending strength, and impact energy absorption during impact/bending is important.
- a beam's impact strength to weight ratio is important in order to provide optimal beam strength yet minimum vehicle weight.
- efficiency of the energy absorption is important, where the beam quickly reaches a predetermined value upon being impacted, and then maintains that resistance level for a period of time, yet where peaks and valleys of loading are avoided, and where energy absorption is made predictable and consistent.
- a bumper system for providing impact resistance on a vehicle frame comprising a structural beam with end-positioned mounts configured for attachment to the vehicle frame, the cross beam having an S-shaped cross section and having a length that extends about equal to a width of a vehicle.
- a bumper apparatus in another aspect of the present invention, includes a primary reinforcement beam designed for major impact collisions against a relatively heavy or stationary object, and a secondary beam designed for pedestrian impact and positioned below the primary reinforcement beam in a position to act as a 'leg catcher' for improved pedestrian safety.
- the bumper apparatus includes at least one of the primary and secondary beams having an S-shaped cross section and a cross-car width generally matching a vehicle width.
- a beam apparatus for improved safety comprises a plastic beam having a cross section defining at least two oppositely-facing concavities, and a pair of separate crush cans supporting ends of the beam and adapted for mounting to a vehicle frame in a position for improved impact safety.
- a vehicle has a vehicle frame and a bumper system for impact against an object.
- An improvement includes the bumper system having a structural plastic cross beam having a center portion with a length that extends about equal to a width of the vehicle frame and having end portions with attachment structure for securing the cross beam to the vehicle frame, at least one of the end portions and center portion including sets of stiffening ribs, with at least one of the sets defining a triangular shape in a concavity of the beam for distributing stress.
- a vehicle in another aspect of the present invention, includes a vehicle frame and a bumper system for impact against an object.
- the bumper system includes an improvement comprising a structural plastic cross beam having a center portion with a length that extends about equal to a width of the vehicle frame and having end portions with attachment structure for securing the cross beam to the vehicle frame, the attachment structure including at least one quick-attach connector for connecting to the vehicle frame without requiring a separate fastener or tools for assembly.

- Fig. 19 is a perspective view of the beam in Fig. 18 including attachment structure.
- Fig. 20 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of an end of the beam in Fig. 19, showing its attachment structure.
- the illustrated beams are structural plastic cross beams for use in a vehicle bumper system.
- the structural plastic beams have an S-shaped cross section that define forward and rearward facing concavities, but the various beams include different types of transverse stiffening ribs in the concavities formed by the S-shaped cross section.
- Some beams include an integrally-formed crush can for attachment to the vehicle frame and for supporting the cross beam thereon.
- Other beams attach to a vehicle frame using separate metal crush cans with ends of the beams configured to attach to the crush cans for mounting on the vehicle frame.
- the beams are generally longitudinally curved (i.e. , "swept") to match an aerodynamic curved shape of a front of a modern passenger vehicle.
- a scope of the present inventive concept includes any beam that is a structural cross beam with forwardly-facing (outwardly-facing from the vehicle) concavity (primary beam or secondary beam), or a beam having an S-shaped cross section, or a beam that is adapted for positioning below a primary bumper reinforcement beam on a vehicle for use as a "leg catcher" on the vehicle for improved pedestrian safety.
- Some beams include an integrally-formed attachment portion that can attach directly to the vehicle frame and for supporting the cross beam.
- Other beams attach to a vehicle frame using a crush can, either metal or plastic, in the design.
- a rib structure that can take on several design forms. These ribs allow for the distribution of forces from the cross beam to the attachments or crush cans. The ribs stiffen their respective beams, by providing additional structure and stiffness to the horizontal walls, but also by preventing premature opening of the concavity during an impact.
- ribs increases the amount of force that the cross beam can absorb during an impact. This can be important for a cross beam when used as the primary reinforcement beam in a vehicle bumper system.
- our testing shows that the ribs are not as important when the beam is used as a secondary beam intended to meet criteria for pedestrian impact for reduced pedestrian injury.
- our testing trials and experimentation show that the addition of the ribs to a "pedestrian" beam having an S-shaped cross section (i.e. a beam designed for pedestrian impact) has less effect on meeting the target criteria for typical low-injury pedestrian impact.
- Figs. 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, and 12-13 are front and rear perspective views of different beams 20, 2OA, 2OB, 2OC, and 2OD.
- Beam 20 includes ends 21 with an apertured flat rear surface adapted for attachment to crush cans 22 (Fig. 1) which are in turn attached directly to a vehicle frame 23, and includes a cross beam portion 24 between the ends 21.
- the cross beam portion 24 has an S-shaped cross section (see Fig IA) which includes walls 30-32 connected by radiused portions 33-34.
- Vertical spaced- apart ribs 35-36 extend across the concavities formed by the S-shaped cross section.
- the ribs can be straight ribs (see Figs. 1-4) or angled ribs (Figs. 7-8, 12-13).
- the ribs can be tailored to meet particular beam requirements, such as including angled ribs for increased lateral support if the expected impact is at an angle to a longitudinal length of the vehicle.
- Beams 2OA and 2OD include similar end structure to beam 20. (I.e., they attach to crush cans).
- Beams 2OB and 2OC incorporate a structure 22B and 22C into their ends 2 IB and 21C that eliminates the need for the separate crush cans 22.
- Beams 20, 2OA and 2OD (Figs. 1-4 and 12-13) include separate metal crush cans
- the beams 2OB and 2OC include integrally formed crush can structures 22B and 22C.
- the crush can selection is influenced by a strength of impact resistance required of the beam (such as for vehicle impact resistance or for pedestrian first-level impact resistance), as well as the expected direction of impact (i.e. , the need for lateral stability and resistance to sidewardly shifting of the beam during an impact).
- the metal crush cans 22, 22A, and 22D are believed to be particularly useful where support to a primary beam is necessary, since the technology for metal crush cans is relatively well-developed, and since metal crush cans provide considerable structural stability and strength (in longitudinal and lateral directions).
- the illustrated metal crush cans 22, 22A and 22D include a larger tubular end, smaller tubular end, and an intermediate joining region designed to cause the tubular ends to telescope into each other with rolling material deforming in a predictable and consistent manner for maximum energy absorption and efficiency.
- the integral crush can structures 22B and 22C are integrally formed and hence lower cost, both for manufacturing and less assembly.
- the illustrated crush can structures 22B and 22C include longitudinally-extending "column" ribs as well as transverse ribs placed and arranged in a honeycomb-like arrangement for stability, structure, and beam strength.
- Fig. 9 is a perspective view of a rigid pole impact test, where a pole in impacted by a vehicle frame carrying the beam 20 (or beams 20A-20D). (Alternatively, the pole may be mounted on a swinging pendulum to cause a similar impact on a stationary vehicle.)
- Fig. 10 discloses a comparison of weights, where beams having a similar basic cross- sectional size and longitudinal shape are compared. Four of the beams tested had an S-shaped cross-sectional beam shape but with different rib arrangements and two additional beams had a U-shaped section and an I-shaped section, respectively. The impact results for the four beams having an S-shaped cross section are shown in Fig. 11. Additional testing was also done, including FEA review (finite element analysis).
- Fig. 10 illustrates generally how the addition of ribs and/or modification of ends of the beam and/or modification of its cross-sectional shape can affect its weight.
- specific weights will vary depending on rib density, rib angle and orientation, rib thickness and extent, and related factors.
- Fig. 11 shows a comparison of force versus deflection for the S-shaped beams.
- the rib structure greatly affects an initial beam strength, and then also affects both individual load peaks and also overall energy absorption.
- the beam 2OD (Figs. 12-13) is not unlike the beam 20 (Figs. 1-2), but beam 2OD includes a plurality of angled ribs along its center region, with all ribs 35D-36D on one (right hand) side extending from a front and center of the beam rearwardly at an outward angle toward the adjacent side of the vehicle, and with all ribs 35D-36D on the other (left hand) side extending from a front and center of the beam at an outward angle rearwardly in an opposite direction (toward the adjacent side of the vehicle).
- the ribs 37D on the ends 2 ID extend generally parallel a longitudinal direction for optimal energy transfer and strength over the crush cans 22D.
- the illustrated ends 2 ID transition from an S-shaped cross section (in a center of the beam 20D) to an I-shaped section (i.e., front and rear parallel walls 38D-39D with a longitudinal wall 4OD extending between the front and rear parallel walls to form an I beam shape) and with the ribs 37D in the ends 21 being oriented and positioned to stabilize the walls 38D-40D of the I beam shape.
- Figs. 14-16 illustrate a beam 2OE similar to beam 20 (Figs. 1-2) but with a different cross-sectional shape more adapted for pedestrian safety.
- the beam 2OE includes integral mounting structure 22E that transitions from the S-shaped cross section of a center portion of the beam 2OE to a mounting structure with stiffening perimeter rib, triangular center rib, holes for receiving mounting screws, and a snap-attachment structure to facilitate mounting to a vehicle.
- the beam 2OE is designed for improved pedestrian impact, where the beam 2OE is made from PC/PBT or glass reinforced PP such as DLFT polymeric material, and has an S-shaped cross section along a majority of its length, but where end sections 2 IE are shaped to form mounting/attachment structure 22E for attaching the beam 2OE to a bracket 23E extending from the vehicle's frame or rail tip.
- the S-shaped cross section includes fore- aft walls 30E, 3 IE, 32E, and top curved connecting wall 33E and bottom curved connecting wall 34E.
- Vertical ribs 35E and 36E provide additional rigidity to the beam 2OE, and assist in keeping the walls 30E-34E from opening up during an impact.
- the bottom wall 32E has an undulation 4OE that positions a rear portion of the wall 32E lower than a front portion of the wall 32E, with the front and rear portions being relatively planar and with a length of the beam being slightly longitunidally curved (but relatively straight).
- Fig. 17 shows a relation of the S-shaped cross section of beam 2OE to a vehicle's
- the beam 2OE is shaped in such a way that a stiffest portion of the S section lies in a most car-forward position and at a lowest position relative to a rest of the vehicle.
- the bumper system also includes the vehicle's primary beam 20 (the primary beam's face being above and equal to or rearward of a front face of the beam 20E).
- the primary beam 20 is like that beam shown in Fig. 1-2, but it is contemplated that a variety of different beam cross sections can be used in place of the illustrated beam.
- the relative fore-aft placement of the primary and secondary beam cause the beam 2OE to engage a pedestrian leg strategically sooner and at a lower location on the pedestrian's leg than the primary beam, which is turn results in improved pedestrian safety due to how the pedestrian's leg(s) and body takes the impact (i.e. , "pedestrian impact criteria").
- the timing and placement of the bumper's impact against a pedestrian's leg greatly affects the injury resulting, including the degree to which the person's leg(s) are forcibly bent and also how the person "falls" during the impact.
- the primary beam 20 and secondary beam 2OE in Fig. 17 can be made of different material and have different cross-sectional shapes.
- the illustrated beam 20 is made from glass filled nylon, while the lower beam 2OE is made from PC/PBT or glass filled PP such as DLFT material.
- Another reason for different cross-sectional sizes of the two beams 20 and 2OE is due to functional and aesthetic reasons, such as the package space allowed by the vehicle's designer.
- Fig. 14 illustrates the ends 21E of beam 2OE including the mounting/attachment structure 22E for attaching the beam 2OE to a vehicle frame rail 23E.
- the ends 21E include a transitioning portion that includes an end wall 5OE closing an end of the S- shaped portion of the beam 2OE, and further include a C channel section with flat mounting plate 5 IE and a perimeter flange 52E that extends around the plate 5 IE and that connect to the top and bottom walls 30E and 32E.
- An enlarged triangular-shaped rib 53E extends longitudinally from the center wall 3 IE to an outer end of the plate 5 IE.
- the rib 53E is triangularly shaped, with a large end connecting to the center section of the beam 2OE and a smaller end on an outboard side. Further, the center section of the beam 2OE is forwardly curved (i.e., "swept") to match an aerodynamic curved shape of a front of a vehicle. However, it is contemplated that the beam can be linear and not longitudinally curved.
- the rib 53E acts in combination with the perimeter flange 52E to provide a "triangulated" load path from the S -shaped center section of the beam 2OE into its attachment structure 22E, where the "triangulated" load path handles distribution of stress from the center section to the ends and to the attachment structure in an optimal.
- the attachment structure 22E on the beam 2OE includes the mounting plate 5 IE
- the illustrated attachment structure 22E has a top hole 54E (see Fig. 20) that receives a bolt 55E threaded into a nut 56E on the vehicle frame bracket 23E, and further includes snap-attach fastener prongs 57E configured to snap-fit into a hole 58E in the bracket 23E.
- a top hole 54E see Fig. 20
- snap-attach fastener prongs 57E configured to snap-fit into a hole 58E in the bracket 23E.
- the bracket 23E extends vertically downwardly from the vehicle frame, at top of the bracket 23E being attached to the frame and a bottom of the bracket 23E being secured to the beam 2OE.
