    Cross-reference with related order
    [001] The present application claims the priority of Japanese Patent Application Number 2010-112,960, filed on May 17, 2010. The full description of Japanese Patent Application No. 2010-112960 is hereby incorporated by reference. Foundations Field of the Invention
    [002] The present invention relates, in general, to a vehicle collision protection device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a vehicle collision protection device in order to restrict the movement of an object present in a space in front of a vehicle to a vehicle occupant space during a collision. front. Fundamentals of Technique
    [003] In a typical vehicle, such as a car, truck, van, SUV utility vehicle and so on, certain major components are accommodated in a space under the hood at the front of a vehicle. These main components can include, for example, the engine, the heating and cooling system, the power steering system, the brake power system, the transmission, and so on. During a frontal collision, at least some of these components can move backwards due to the impact force that can also dent the front of the vehicle.
    [004] In order to improve occupant safety, the main components must be prevented from moving backwards into a vehicle occupant space, such as the vehicle's passenger compartment, during a frontal collision. For example, the Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) heater used for heating air in an electric vehicle is typically a high current heater that produces heat through the use of high voltage energy. A PTC coefficient heater typically has a high-strength, high-mass casting body. The PTC coefficient heater also has a high current extraction unit. In this way, the PTC coefficient heater and its related components must be prevented from entering the occupant space during a frontal collision.
    [005] Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-104354 describes a fixing bracket that is configured to prevent a high-mass body, such as that of a PTC coefficient heater from entering space occupants of the vehicle during a collision. In particular, the mounting bracket is configured to break during a collision. A portion of the collision energy is expended by this break, thereby reducing the large kinetic energy of the high-mass body. summary
    [006] However, it was discovered that, even in the technique proposed in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-104354, the amount of backward displacement by the high mass body during a vehicle collision is the sum of the amount of displacement when the high-mass body moves backwards together with the kneading during a collision at the front of the vehicle, and the amount of displacement when the high-mass body moves backwards, so independent, after breaking the fixing bracket, as described above. Therefore, the backward displacement by the high mass body during a collision is not significantly reduced by means of this technique.
    [007] In addition, the increased performance and functionality of vehicles has resulted in less space available in the front to rear direction of the engine compartment in vehicles equipped with an internal combustion engine, or in the engine compartment of a vehicle electric. As such, there is no significant reduction in the backward displacement of a high-mass body during a collision in the configuration proposed in Unexamined Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2005-104354, since there is little initial space available to allow for backward displacement of a high mass body.
    [008] In addition, when the high-mass body is a high-current heater, as described above, the heater must be arranged out of easy reach in the front space of the vehicle. In this way, fewer options are still available to allow a high current heater to move backwards.
    [009] Therefore, the problems described above are difficult to avoid when the backward movement of a high mass body during a collision is allowed. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle collision safety device that allows a high mass body to rotate, for example, in order to deviate to the side of the vehicle during a collision. The high-mass body is thus prevented or made difficult to penetrate the vehicle occupants' space, as well as the passenger compartment.
    [010] Taking into account the state of the art technology, a vehicle crash protection device is proposed that basically comprises a support that includes a deflection force generating component provided at a rear end of the support. The bracket is arranged in a front space of the vehicle of a vehicle and configured so as to extend in a direction from the front to the rear of the vehicle and fix a vehicle component to a body of the vehicle. The deflection force generating component is configured to deflect the rear end of the support towards the width of the vehicle and rotate the support together with the vehicle component towards the width when the deflection force generating component collides against a portion of the vehicle body when the rear end of the carrier moves in a rearward direction of the vehicle due to crushing of the front end of the vehicle during a collision at the front end of the vehicle.

    [027] The selected modalities will be explained below with reference to the drawings. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this document that the descriptions of the modalities below are provided for purposes of illustration only and not for the purpose of limiting the present invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
    [028] Figure 1 is a perspective view taken from above on the left side of a vehicle, showing a portion of the vehicle body front structure of the vehicle that is provided with a collision protection device according to a modality presented. In this example, the vehicle can be an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle, such as a car, truck, van, or SUV utility vehicle, and so on. A front space of the vehicle can be defined by a lower platform panel 1, a left front element 2, a right front element that is on the opposite side and not shown, and a front grid not shown either. In this way, the lower deck panel 1, the left front part element 2, the right front part element and the front grille define an engine compartment 3, as shown.
    [029] A front cross member 4 and a rear cross member 5 couple the left and right front elements to each other and are provided in the lower region of the engine compartment 3. An electric motor, an inverter, a motor controller, a DC-DC current converter, and other main components that are not shown can be attached to the front and rear cross members 4 and 5 and housed in the engine compartment 3.
    [030] As shown in Figure 1 and, in more detail in Figure 2, a PTC coefficient heater or other high current heater 11 (for example, a vehicle component) used for heating air in the electric vehicle can also be housed in the engine compartment 3. The high-current heater 11 produces heat through, for example, the use of high voltage power, and may include a high-strength, high-mass body formed by leakage, as understood in technical. The high current heater 11, in this example, also has a high current extraction unit 11a that extends from the rear end of the high current heater 11, as seen from the front to the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the high current heater 11 in this example is attached to the front and rear cross members 4 and 5 by means of a support 12, such that the high current heater 11 is secured in a position beside the part element left front 2, as shown in Figure 1 and shown below. As shown here, the collision protection apparatus is configured to prevent or at least prevent the high-current heater 11 from entering an occupant space (for example, a vehicle passenger compartment) that it is separated from the engine compartment 3 by a lower deck panel 1 during a frontal collision of the vehicle. Further details on the front and rear transverse elements 4 and 5, the high current heater 11 and the support 12 will be presented below with respect to Figures 2-4.
    [031] As illustrated, pins 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d extend from the top surface of the high current heater 11 and can be used to couple the high current heater 11 to the bracket 12. The bracket 12 includes a plate-shaped main body 12a having a portion that extends to an opening between the left front element 2 and the high current heater 11. As is evident from Figure 5, showing the support 12 alone, the support 12 further includes an angled plate 12b that extends from the upper edge of the main plate-shaped body 12a, so as to hang over the top surface of the high current heater 11. The angled plate 12b defines also the through holes 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d which receive pins 13a, 13b, 13c, 13d, respectively, which extend from the top surface of the high current heater 11.
    [032] The high current heater 11 is mounted with the support 12, in a preliminary form, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, by placing the pins 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d through the corresponding through holes 14a, 14b , 14c and 14d, respectively, of the angled plate 12b. The distal ends of the pins 13a, 13b, 13c and 13d can be retained in the through holes 14a, 14b, 14c and 14d by means of any suitable fastener, such as the nuts that are threaded on the distal ends of the pins 13a, 13b , 13c and 13d, as shown in Figure 5.
    [033] The angled plate 12b of the support 12 further defines elongated open holes 15a, 15b, 15c and 15d that are drilled on both edges of the angled plate 12b in the direction from the front to the rear of the vehicle. In this example, each of the open elongated holes 15c and 15d is longer than each of the open elongated holes 15a and 15b. Pins 4c and 4d for engaging open elongated holes 15c and 15d, respectively, extend from the cross member 4. In addition, pins 5a and 5b for engaging open elongated holes 15a and 15b, respectively, extend from of the cross member 5.
    [034] When the preliminary assembly of the high current heater 11 and the support 12 is done on the front and rear cross members 4 and 5, the pins 5a and 5b on the cross member 5 engage the elongated open holes 15a and 15b, respectively, angular plate 12b. In addition, the pins 4c and 4d on the cross member 4 engage the elongated open holes 15c and 15d, respectively, of the angled plate 12b. The distal ends of the pins 4c and 4d on the cross member 4 can be secured in the elongated open holes 15c and 15d, respectively, by means of any suitable type of fastener, such as nuts that are threaded on the distal ends of the pins 4c and 4d. Similarly, the distal ends of the pins 5a and 5b on the cross member 5 can be fixed to the open elongated holes 15a and 15b, respectively, by means of any suitable fastener, such as nuts that are threaded at the distal ends pins 5a and 5b. Therefore, the support 12 is fixed to a vehicle body element different from the front part element 2. In this case, the support 12 is fixed to the cross members 4 and 5.
    [035] In addition, notches 16a and 16b are formed on the angled plate 12b, creating fragile parts on the angled plate 12b in order to reduce the force with which the high current heater 11 is attached to the support 12. For example, the notches 16a function as a fragile force reducing part for fixing the high current heater 11 by coupling pins 5a and 5b to the open elongated holes 15a and 15b. Likewise, the notch 16b acts as a fragile force reducing part for fixing the high current heater 11 by coupling pins 4c and 4d to the elongated open holes 15c and 15d. The resistance of each notch 16a and 16b is adjusted so that the notches 16a and 16b can be broken by an inertia force of the high current heater 11 or by an impact force that is generated together with the kneading of the front end of the vehicle during a collision with the front of the vehicle, such as the engine compartment 3. Therefore, breaking the notches 16a and 16b allows the high-current heater 11 to fall off the support 12 during a collision, as will be shown in more detail to follow.
    [036] The plate-shaped main body 12a of the support 12 further includes a curved part 17 which curves in the direction of the removal of the left front element 2 in order to enclose or at least partially enclose the high current extraction unit 11 a of the high current heater 11. The curved part 17 can thus function, at least in part, as a deflection force generating part that can deflect the rear end (for example, the curved part 17) of the support 12 inwards in the direction of the vehicle width and rotate the support 12 together with the high current heater 11 in the corresponding direction around the vehicle body fastening part when the rear end (the curved part 17) of the support 12 moves backwards together with denting during a collision at the front of the vehicle (eg the engine compartment3).
    [037] In addition, a high current heater receiving element 18 acts as a high mass body receiving element to house the high current heater 11 which falls from the support 12 as a result of the breakage of the notches 16a and 16b angular plate 12b during a collision. As shown in more detail below, the high current heater receiving element 18 can prevent the high current heater 11 from falling on the floor surface below the vehicle. The high current heater receiving element 18 (the high mass receiving element) can have the general shape of a channel, as shown, for example, in Figure 6. Thus, when having a shape of channel, the high current heater receiving element 18 may continue to hold the high current heater 11 and prevent the high current heater 11 from falling.
    [038] Therefore, the high current heater receiving element 18 is attached to the support 12 (the main body in the form of a plate 12a), as shown, for example, in Figure 2. In specific terms, the bottom edge of the main plate-shaped body 12 (including the curved part 17) defines through holes 19a, 19b and 19c in the same that are arranged in the direction from the front to the rear of the vehicle. In addition, the high current heater receiving element 18 defines through holes 21a, 21b and 21c which can be arranged in alignment with through holes 19a, 19b and 19c, respectively. When the high current heater receiving element 18 is attached to the support 12 (the plate-shaped main body 12a), the through holes 19a, 19b and 19c on the lower edge of the plate-shaped main body 12a are aligned with the through holes 21a, 21b and 21c of the high current heater receiving element 18. Any suitable fastening element, such as screws 22a, 22b and 22c, is fixed through the aligned through holes as shown. Therefore, screws 22a, 22b and 22c secure the high current heater receiving element 18 to the support 12 (the main plate-like body 12a).
    [039] In addition, a notch 23 is formed in the high current heater receiving element 18. The notch 23 allows the high current heater receiving element 18 to easily deform according to the deformation of the bracket 12. A channel shape of the high current heater receiving element 18 thus prevents the high current heater 11 from falling, and preferably also deforms in accordance with the support 12, so as not to prevent deformation of the support 12 during a collision.
    [040] An example of the operation of the collision protection device as described above will now be presented in relation to the diagrams shown in Figures 7A to 10C. Before a collision, the components shown above are in a state as shown in Figures 7A, 7B and 10A. When a frontal vehicle collision occurs, the energy from the collision can be applied to the front of the vehicle in the direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 10B. That is, the energy of the collision can be applied to the front of the vehicle in a direction towards the rear of the vehicle. As a result, the front of the vehicle is dented by the collision energy, as shown in Figure 10B. When this happens, the front part element 2 is raised so as to project in the direction that the vehicle intersects in the direction from front to back, such as inward in the direction of the width of the vehicle, at a predetermined warping point 2a. The bracket 12 on the front and rear cross members 4 and 5 and the high current heater 11 which is attached to the bracket 12 are also moved backwards in the direction of the front to rear of the vehicle together with the denting of the front of the vehicle.
    [041] When the front part of the vehicle is subsequently kneaded to a more significant degree, the warping part 2a of the front part element 2 pushes up substantially in a crank shape, as shown in Figure 10C. Consequently, the warping portion 2a projects further inward in the direction of the vehicle width. As a result, the bracket 12 and the high current heater 11, at the same time, move further backward, as shown in Figures 8A, 8B, and 10C.
    [042] The greater projection of the warping part 2a inwardly in the direction of the vehicle width and the greater rearward displacement of the support 12 and the high current heater 11 cause the curved part 17 at the rear end of the support 12 (the main plate-like body 12a) will collide with the crank-shaped warping part 2a, as shown in Figure 8A and indicated by a region a in Figure 10C. At this point, the curved part 17 communicates a deflection force towards the rear end of the support 12 inwardly towards the width of the vehicle by means of a cam operation created by the impact against the crank-shaped warping part 2a. This deflection force thus deflects and rotates the support 12 together with the high current heater 11 in a corresponding direction.
    [043] Therefore, when the rear end of the support 12 collides with the crank-shaped warping part 2 of the vehicle body portion, as a result of displacement towards the rear, the deflection force generating part provided at the rear end of the support 12 deflects the rear end of the support 12 in the direction of the vehicle width and rotates the support 12 together with the high-current heater 11 (the high-mass vehicle component) in the corresponding direction. Since the support 12 rotates together with the high current heater 11 in this way, a portion of the collision energy is expended. Although the displacement of the support 12 and the high current heater 11 during the collision is initially a backward displacement, the displacement then changes to a rotational displacement. In this way, the support 12 and the high-current heater 11 are prevented from entering the vehicle's occupant space.
    [044] At the same time, or substantially at the same time, that the rear end of the support 12 is deflected towards the width of the vehicle and the support 12 together with the high current heater 11 rotates, the fragile notches 16a and 16b on the plate angle 12b of the support 12 are broken by the impact force or as a function of the inertia force. Consequently, the high current heater 11 falls from the support 12, as shown in Figure 8B. When the high current heater 11 falls from the holder 12, the high current heater 11 is housed in the high current heater receiving element 18, as shown in Figure 9B. The cooperation of the high current heater receiving element 18 with the support 12, for example, in this way, allows the high current heater receiving element 18 to continue to hold and prevent the high current heater 11 from falling outward. of the vehicle on the floor surface.
    [045] When a larger dent in the front of the vehicle causes the support 12 to move further back, the support 12 is continuously subjected to an inward deflection force in the direction of the vehicle width from the part warping 2a in a fixed position, as shown, for example, in Figure 9A. The support 12 will be able to rotate even more in the corresponding direction, and, ultimately, it will be able to turn on its side. However, during this displacement of the support 12, the high current heater 11 will remain attached depending on the cooperation between the high current heater receiving element 18 and the support.
    [046] As can be seen from the above, the modality described is capable of offering safety in the event of a vehicle collision. For example, although the support 12 moves backwards together with the crushing during a collision of the front part of the vehicle, the curved part 17 in the rear ex-tremor of the support 12 collides against the crank-shaped warping part 2a of the front part element 2 that occurs during the collision. In addition, the rear end of the support 12 deflects inwardly towards the width of the vehicle, and the support 12 rotates together with the high current heater 11 in the corresponding direction. A portion of the collision energy may therefore be expended by directional conversion from the backward displacement to the rotational displacement of the support 12 and the high current heater 11. Thus, the support 12 and the high current heater 11 are prevented, or at least limited to penetrate the occupant space backwards, and safety standards in the event of a collision can therefore be met.
    [047] Furthermore, since the curved part 17 is configured to surround or at least partially surround the high current extraction unit 11a of the high current heater 11, the curved part 17 may prevent the extraction unit high current heater 11a of the high current heater 11 will touch the vehicle body portion during the operations described above. Therefore, vehicle safety is improved. In addition, during directional conversion from the rearward displacement to the rotational displacement of the support 12 and the high current heater 11, the impact force or the inertia force at this time causes the high current heater 11 to break the notches fragile 16a and 16b of the angled plate 12b of the support 12. As a result, the high current heater 11 falls from the support 12. A portion of the energy can therefore be spent due to this break, thus offering greater security in the event collision.
    [048] It should also be noted that when the high current heater 11 is prevented from falling from the support 12 in any proportion, the support 12, which includes the angled plate 12b has a sufficiently resistant structure so that the support 12 do not rotate easily, as described above. However, in the configuration described above, the high current heater 11 breaks the fragile notches 16a and 16b and falls off the support 12. As a result, the support 12 deforms easily, the rotation described above occurs promptly, and the operational effects described above can be obtained reliably. In addition, the fragile structure of the support 12 can reduce the manufacturing cost and weight of the support 12.
    [049] As can be seen from the above, a portion of the collision energy is spent as a function of the rotational displacement of the support 12 and the high current heater 11. Thus, the support 12 and the high current heater 11 are prevented, or at least restricted, from entering the occupant's space. In addition, in the front space of the vehicle, like the engine compartment 3, there is more excess space in the transverse direction than in the front to back direction. In this way, the support 12 and the high current heater 11 can move into this excess space during a frontal collision, and are prevented or, at least, restricted from entering the occupant space in order to provide reliable security in the collision, as described above.
    [050] In addition, as shown above, after the high current heater 11 breaks the fragile notches 16a and 16b and falls off the support 12, the high current heater 11 is housed in the receiving element 18. The receiving element high current heater 18 subsequently continues to hold the high current heater 11 due to cooperation with the support 12 so that the high current heater 11 does not fall out of the vehicle or, for example, onto the surface of floor. In addition, the notch 23 in the high current heater receiving element 18 allows the high current heater receiving element 18 to deform easily in accordance with the deformation of the bracket 12. Thus, the bracket 12 can easily deform, even with the presence of the high current heater receiving element 18.
    [051] In addition, as described above, the curved part 17 at the rear end of the support 12, which moves backwards during a collision, is configured to collide with the warping part 2a of the front part element 2 during the collision. Thus, the support 12 (the main plate-like body 12a) has a portion (curved part 17) which is arranged in front of the warping part 2a of the front part element 2, and can suffer collision by the curved part 17 in the to restrict backward movement. This advantage is obtained regardless of whether the curved part 17 is configured as a structural component of the vehicle body or a separate component.
    [052] Alternatively, the curved part 17 does not necessarily have to collide with the warping part 2a of the front part element 2, which happens during a collision. Instead, the curved part 17 can be configured to collide with a different vehicle body portion or a component added at the time of a collision. In this type of configuration, the support 12 (the main plate-like body 12a) does not need to have a portion (for example, the curved portion 17) that is arranged next to the front element 2 or in front of the warping part 2a. This increases the degree of freedom with regard to the placement of the support 12 or the placement of the high current heater 11.
    [053] It is also evident from the above that the components, such as the bracket 12, the high current heater receiving element 18, and so on, can be configured to prevent or at least prevent others components into the occupant space during a collision. Therefore, the components can be configured so that no component is allowed to penetrate the occupant space during a collision.
