Definitions
- the present invention relates to beams for use as a vehicle bumper.
- Bumpers are used on vehicles to protect the front and rear of the vehicles from the effect of minor impacts and to transfer loads into the vehicle structure during major impacts.
- the bumpers project from the vehicle and provide the initial point of contact of the vehicle with other structures.
- Bumpers have evolved from a simple beam secured to the chassis of a vehicle into an integral part of a sophisticated impact absorption system.
- the impact absorption system transfers loads into energy absorbing structures of the vehicle, which function to mitigate the effect of an impact on the occupants of the vehicle as well as minimizing the damage during low speed impacts as can occur during vehicle parking manoeuvres and there like.
- Specific test criteria have been mandated which the bumpers implemented on modern vehicles must meet. At the same time, commercial realities require the cost of construction and the weight of the bumper to be minimized.
- U.S. Patent No. 6,217,089 to Goto shows a bumper that is roll formed into a tubular structure with a central web running from the front to the rear of the structure. Similar structures are shown in U.S. application 2008/0284184 and U.S. application 2008/0093867, which have a pair of webs extending from the vehicle toward the outwardly directed face of the bumper beam.
- U.S. Patent No. 6, 726,261 to Goto shows a localized reinforcement in which an additional component is secured to the tubular beam to project forward of the beam in the central region of the vehicle.
- Such a construction requires additional processing steps in the manufacture and therefore adds to the inherent cost of such a structure.
- a beam for a vehicle bumper comprising an elongate, closed tubular body formed from a continuous web of metal.
- the body has a first pair of walls spaced from one another and a second pair of walls spaced from one another and extending between the first pair of walls.
- a support extends between the second pair of walls intermediate first pair of walls and a reinforcement extends between the support and one of the first pair of walls.
- the reinforcement is located adjacent to but spaced from one of the second pair of walls.
- a double walled structure is thereby provided over at least a portion of said one of said second pair of walls.

- Figure 9 is a view similar to Figure 3 of an alternative embodiment of beam.
- Figure 10 is an end view of the beam of Figure 9, and,
- Figure 11 is an end view of a further embodiment of a beam.
- a vehicle V has a bumper assembly 10 integrated into the front and rear structures of the vehicle V.
- the bumper assembly 10 includes a bumper beam 12 that extends laterally across the vehicle V and is secured to the load supporting structure of the vehicle through pedestals 14, as shown in figure 2.
- the bumper beam 12 is typically integrated into the outer envelope of the vehicle V by covering panels P. It will also be noted from figure 2 that the beam 12 is curved along its longitudinal axis so as to conform to the required envelope of the vehicle V.
- the structure of the beam 12 can best be seen in figures 3 and 4.
- the beam 12 is formed from a single web 16 of metal having lateral free edges 18, 20.
- the web 16 is rolled into the form of the beam 12 by passing through a series of roll forming stations that progressively form the required structure of the beam.
- the beam so produced is of indeterminate length that can be cut to the desired length and formed to the finished curvature using conventional post forming techniques.
- the beam 12 has a top wall 22 and a bottom wall 24 spaced apart on a vertical axis. It will be appreciated that the reference to top, bottom, inner and outer, as used herein, refer to the orientation of the beam when installed on the vehicle V.
- the top wall 22 and bottom wall 24 are interconnected by an outer wall 26 and inner wall 28.
- a support 30 extends from the outer wall 26 to the inner wall 28 approximately midway between the top and bottom walls 22 and 24.
- a reinforcement 32 extends from the support 30 adjacent to its intersection with the outer wall 26 to the bottom wall 24. The distal end of the reinforcement is folded laterally to provide a flange 34 that overlies the bottom wall 24.
- top wall 22, bottom wall 24, outer wall 26, inner wall 28, support 30 and reinforcement 32 are all folded from the web 16 and are connected to one another at their junctures by radiussed fold lines.
- a lower portion 28a of inner wall 28 is formed by a marginal portion of the web 16 extending from free edge 18.
- An upper portion 28b of the inner wall 28 is defined by an intermediate portion of the web 16 and the free edge 18 is welded to the upper portion 28b adjacent to the support 30 to provide an integral inner wall 28.
- a lower portion 36 of outer wall 26 is corrugated to provide a pair of troughs 38, 40.
- Each of the troughs has a base 42 (figure 4) that extends parallel to the plane of the outer wall 26.
- the reinforcement 32 is similarly corrugated to provide a channel 44 and a offset 46 separated from the channel 44 by a land 48.
- the offset 46 terminates in the flange 34 that overlies the bottom wall 24.
- the reinforcement 32 is secured to the outer wall 26 by a weld 50 on the base of the trough 38, adjacent to the intersection of the support 30 with the reinforcement 32.
- the flange 34 is similarly welded, as indicated at 52, to the bottom wall 24 to provide a unitary structure for the beam 12. If required, a weld may also be provided at the abutment of the reinforcement with the trough 40, although in most situations this will not be required.
- the welds 50, 52 may be provided as periodic welds such as spot or plug welding or as a continuous seam weld as by laser welding or similar techniques or other bonding techniques may be used to provide an integral structure.
- the web 16 is thus formed into a closed tubular beam and the reinforcement 32 provides a double wall structure along the entire length of the outer wall 26, which enables it to withstand point impacts applied at the center of the beam 12 as required by the applicable vehicle standards.
- the essentially planar web 16 may be formed into the configuration of beams shown in figures 3 and 4 through a suitable technique operating on either a discrete blank or on a continuous strip of material.
- the techniques available include sequential folding operations using a brake press, or a continuous roll forming operation using a series of rolling stations illustrated in figure 5. It will be appreciated that the stations shown in figure 5 represent the major steps in the formation and the transition between stations may in fact be performed by passage through several intermediary rolling stations.
- the planar web 16 with free edges 18 and 20 is introduced into the initial rolling stations from a roll or similar stock of sheet material.
- the portion of the web 16 adjacent the free edge 20 is displaced from the plane of the web 16 to initialize formation of the reinforcement 32 and formation of the troughs 38, 40 is initiated at the middle portion of the web 16.
- the corrugations defining troughs 38, 40, channel 44 and offset 46 have developed to their full depth in the central portion of the web and on the reinforcement 32.
- the folding stations then fold the web, as shown in steps (e) and (f), to define the fold line between the top wall 22 and the inner wall 28. Similarly the web is folded at the opposite free edge to define the fold line between the bottom wall 24 and the inner wall 28.
- step (f) The folding continues until the reinforcement 32 abuts the lower portion 36 of the outer wall 26. This is shown at step (f). Welds 50, 52 are placed at the base of the troughs 38, 40 to connect the lower portion 36 to the reinforcement 32. Upon completion of the welds, the bottom wall 24 is folded to bring it into contact with the flange 34 and the lower portion 28(a) of the inner wall 28 in contact with the upper portion 28(b). Welds then performed to connect the flange 34 to the bottom wall 24 and the two portions of the inner wall 28.
- the beam 12 may be shaped to conform to the overall configuration required for the vehicle using conventional post forming techniques, and then secured to the pedestals 14.
- the provision of the reinforcement 32 provides a significant increase in the performance of the beam 12 in test situations and permits the beam to be formed from thinner and therefore lighter material.
- the thickness of the web 16 was in the order of 1.0 - 1.5 millimetres using a 1200 - 1500 Mega Pascal grade of steel.
- the enhanced performance of the beam 12 can be assessed from the consideration of figure 6(A) and 6(B) and 7(A) and 7(B). These depict the results of a bumper beam subjected to a standard barrier test in which the beam is subjected to a centralized point impact at the midpoint of the beam. As can be seen in figure 6, which shows a prior art bumper formed without a reinforcement, the impact causes folding of the beam at its midpoint and significant vertical displacement of the central portion of the beam. By contrast, the beam shown in figure 7(A) and 7(B), that utilizes a reinforcement as shown above, under the same test conditions, shows a smaller permanent deformation without folding, and insignificant vertical displacement of the beam.
- FIG. 9 An alternative embodiment is shown in figures 9 and 10 where like reference numerals will be used for like components with a prefix ⁇ ' for clarity.
- the beam 112 is formed with a reinforcement 132 juxtaposed with the lower portion 136 of the outer wall 126.
- the flange 134 is formed on the distal edge of the lower portion 136 and overlies the bottom wall 124 on the exterior of the body. The flange 134 is welded to the bottom wall 124 in a manner similar to the welding of the free edge 118 to the inner wall 128.
- the stages of rolling of the beam 112 from a web 116 would of course be modified to suit the amended configuration.
- the support 230 is provided by a pair of convergent walls 230(a), 230(b) that extend from the inner wall 228.
- the walls 230(a), 230(b) are interconnected of a bight 230(c) from which the reinforcement 232 extends to the bottom wall 224.
- the free edge 218 is positioned to overlie the bight 230(c) and a weld secures the free edge 218, the reinforcement 232 and the bight 230(c).
- the beam 212 is formed from a single web of material and is folded to provide a reinforcement adjacent to and extending along the lower portion 236 of the outer wall 226.
