Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of deformation element, a kind ofly be used for when the vehicle collision endergonic method, a kind of method, a kind of control gear, a kind of computer program and a kind of occupant restraint system of deformation characteristic of deformation element that is used to be adjusted in vehicle according to claim 15 according to claim 14 according to claim 13 according to claim 7 according to claim 6 according to claim 1.
Background technique
Rise since introducing the main cabin, vehicle safety is obviously improved.In the past few years, obtaining important progress aspect the active of motor vehicle and the passive safety.A large amount of measures as the improvement of vehicle body structure and constrained system, contributes for the death toll that is reduced in the street traffic.
At this, major part is injured can be owing to being attended by the vehicle-vehicle frontal collision of serious degree of injury until dead consequence.By being introduced in the consumer protection test and the legal requiremnt of head-on crash aspect, can obtain in the substantial improvements that alleviates aspect the damage sequence with 100% and 40% overlapping coefficient.Yet other crash type and problem cause generally attention thus.In these problems one is that the partner protects and collides compatibility in other words.
In the evolution of passive safety, self-protection is subjected to generally paying attention to.Not only in vehicle-vehicle collision and also with other object collisions in oneself occupant of protection, be the characteristic of vehicle.
The partner protects in contrast, and the characteristic of vehicle is the occupant of protection the other side vehicle in vehicle-vehicle collision, just has as far as possible little aggressiveness.
Two specific characters combine in the collision compatibility.This combination is dropped to minimum mode with the overall risk in fleet and is shown very high self-protection degree, and also very low for other the aggressiveness of traffic participant.Have following general conformity: the improvement of compatibility does not allow to become the burden of each vehicle self-protection.
Can demonstrate according to casualty data, present crash tests to contributing in the improvement aspect the self-protection, reduces but partner's protection occurs thereupon slightly.As the result of this development, realize new consumer protection test in the future at anterior load condition, give compatibility higher significance.
In order to obtain higher vehicle compatibility in practice, to intervene vehicle front body structure in the future.More known schemes are according to circumstances adjusted the collision box be installed in the vehicle in these schemes, guaranteeing improved power absorption, and next as prior art these schemes are described.
EP 1 792 786 A2 have described a kind of collision box of traditional type.At this, a kind of collision box that is used to be incorporated between automobile insurance bar crossbeam and the automobile longitudinal girder has been described.Described collision box has the deformable contour of a housing shape as the folding structure of being made by sheetmetal and the flange plate of a stringer sides.At this, flange plate is constructed to the constituent element of folding structure.
At M.Deimel, J.Franke and S.
Exercise question in the 15th " Design for X " seminar October in 2004 has been for having proposed a kind of adaptive front portion structure in the open source literature of " Entwicklung eines Frontendmoduls eines Niedrig-Energie Verbrauch-Fahrzeug ", and two impact tubes that can stretch out connect by a wide crossbeam and are additionally provided with foam element in this front portion structure.The ability to function of described modification mode of execution has calculated by FEM and has checked.
The low-cost modification mode of execution that is used to change collision energy does not have any foam deformation element.At this, can will collide accordingly between the crossbeam and longeron that box is arranged on vehicle.
Under the condition that does not have the foam deformation element, be used for changing the high-end solution of collision energy, can and and be fixed between the impact tube of vehicle body exsertile impact tube is set at crossbeam.
In the field of adaptability front portion structure, existing a plurality of open source literatures from Autoliv (Autoliv) company.At this, core is the rigidity of the box of design collision adaptively.At this, before collision, the collision box is adjusted, make front portion structure can absorb higher energy.This means that for example front portion structure is very soft with pedestrian impact the time, front portion structure is harder perhaps but when vehicle is invaded.
Because the problem of compatibility is introduced in the fact in the consumer protection of European new car safety criticism association (EuroNCAP), is considering under the condition of perspective sensor device, uses the probability raising of adaptability front portion structure/collision box in practice.
In addition, in the process of self-protection, attempt when vehicle frontal collision, absorbing impact energy as much as possible by the vehicle sections before being positioned at operator cabin.At this, this absorption is undertaken by the distortion of some element.Can protect the occupant better thus.When collision, target is that optimal is with operational wrinkle district, just specially for eliminating the structure space that kinetic energy is provided with.Commonly, so-called " collision box " is installed in vehicle is made, these collide boxes and bear this task by deformation characteristic targetedly just.
Under collision situation, absorb the conventional member of kinetic energy, in the material behavior that has regulation aspect rigidity and the elasticity.Therefore, their deformation characteristic and thus their absorptivity be unmodifiable.
In the past few years, obtaining important progress aspect the passive safety of motor vehicle.The improvement of a large amount of measures such as vehicle body structure and constrained system contributes for the dead quantity that is reduced in the road traffic.
In order to protect the occupant,, use the principle in wrinkle district according to standard.At this, be provided with some member at the collision area of vehicle, its task is, reduces energy by their distortion.Usually, the various element that rigidity increases gradually is installed here.Therefore, for example forwardly a plurality of elements that can be provided with of the system in the structure by order with bumper bar, bumper bar crossbeam, deformation element, longeron and crew department form.The reason of this structure type is the interests (parts=hard parts that do not have high rigidity at front part of vehicle) of pedestrian protecting on the one hand; the interests of maintenance expenses (should not be whole front portion structure distortion under the collision situation of 15km/h; and certain part distortion that is easy to change that just has low relatively rigidity); and the requirement of passenger protection (being fully to reduce energy on the one hand) in any case be to avoid the distortion of occupant's inner room on the other hand.
In the evolution of passive safety, except self-protection, partner's protection (compatibility) is subjected to generally paying attention to.Compatibility also has the target of protecting the other side's automotive occupant when vehicle-vehicle collision except high self-protection (the occupant of when collision protection oneself) degree.In both cases, occupant's load all should be as much as possible little.
Especially, during with lighter vehicle collision, realize that this target is the challenge that can not underestimate at heavy vehicle.Lighter vehicle is compared with heavier vehicle and is subjected to limiting greatly on structure space.Correspondingly, also having only less space to be available for endergonic " wrinkle district " uses.Owing to the physics reason, the vehicle that lighter exactly vehicle must be heavier in this collision absorbs more energy.Therefore often the method for using is, heavier vehicle has relatively and along the less wrinkle district of rigidity in this collision, and lighter vehicle has the bigger slightly wrinkle district of rigidity.Therefore, guarantee in light vehicle, to be out of shape and can not extend in the occupant zone always.Yet, therefore under other collision situation, for heavier automobile storage in shortcoming.For example when this vehicle hit hard obstacle, passenger protection was not because softer wrinkle district meets the requirement of the passenger protection that can reach optimum.There is the danger of higher intrusion occupant inner room.Same for lighter vehicle, under this impact events, there is shortcoming.Because the high rigidity in wrinkle district, the deceleration value of structure raises, and by this deceleration value the load value for the occupant is raise.
Another problem when vehicle collision is the different overlapping coefficient of possible.Usually, vehicle front body structure is made of two longerons that extend in parallel, and these two longerons also have a deformation element in front respectively.Design the rigidity of these parts, make under, just, reduce energy fully not being that whole front part of vehicle participates in collision and therefore has only in the longeron deformation element under such situation that a quilt runs into partly overlapping case of collision.If collision is carried out so on the contrary, promptly two elements are all run into, and just with high overlapping coefficient, the global stiffness that produces with the form of each rigidity addition of these elements is unnecessarily high and to cause occupant's load value be not optimum so.
A kind of method that trial remedies above-mentioned shortcoming is for example proposed by Autoliv (Autoliv) company.At this, the rigidity of deformation element and situation are adapted according to load condition.Thus, for example for heavy vehicle, with lighter vehicle collision the time, can in certain limit, keep the rigidity of deformation element very low.In contrast, with the collision of hard obstacle the time, can rigidity be improved by element is placed.Thus, can adapt to collision situation and can realize improved passenger protection thus better.
Other company has also proposed multiple be used to the make rigidity of parts and the method that collision situation adapts.For example, by being installed, hydraulic element realize that the idea of the change of rigidity is (referring to Vetter etc., " Investigation of adaptive Vehicle Body Structure Concepts with Respect to different Crash Worthiness Requirements ", the 6th airbag international symposium in 2002, Karlsruhe 2002).Yet the emphasis of all these open source literatures mainly is the technology realization aspect of various different-stiffness.
The shortcoming of the method that is used for adjustment component rigidity of known non-habitual is that only just profile, material behavior, wall thickness and deformation characteristic are determined by its structure shape for the rigidity of Crumple element.Element since structure and definite mechanical property and their stiffness relation (difference between the rigidity of element 1 and element 2) for example after the stiffness relation between collision box and the longeron, can not change again.Produce thus is not optimum passenger protection, higher weight and often higher maintenance expenses.
Use the shortcoming of the known method of adaptability structure to be, the rigidity of Crumple element can be had a mind to the scope of free burial ground for the destitute change and is subjected to the restriction of the mechanical load ability of adjacent component.Promptly collide box and longeron if for example study two elements, the rigidity of colliding box so is only to bring up to the degree more smaller than the rigidity of longeron.If surpass the rigidity that this degree still continues to improve the collision box, be exactly the element that longeron rigidity is little and correspondingly collapsing can being pressed before the collision box under the load so obviously improves and littler for occupant's protective action total the result is a failure costs.

Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows the section model of the side view of the deformation element that collides the box-like formula according to a kind of embodiment of the present invention.Described deformation element has container 101.Container 101 is made of head member 103, base element 105 and a plurality of flexible wall 107.Flexible wall 107 is arranged between head member 103 and the base element 105.According to this embodiment, flexible wall 107 has five telescopic elements, and these telescopic elements can one move in another.Head member 103 can be constructed to plate.Arrow 110 illustrates the action direction of power, and this power affacts on the deformation element when vehicle collision.By this power, container 101 can be pulled to together towards the direction of base element 105.Inside at container 101 can be provided with medium 112.If container is pulled to together, medium 112 can go out by at least one orifice flow of container so.Described at least one hole can be arranged in the base element 105 of container.According to this embodiment, base element is constructed to orifice plate 105, and this orifice plate has a plurality of holes 114.Hole 114 can be a plurality of fluid passages or a plurality of hole.Film 106 can be arranged on the outside of orifice plate 105, with the hole 114 of sealing orifice plate 105.In addition, deformation element can have the discharge route 116 that has rotatable collection blister spare 118.Film 106 can be arranged between orifice plate 105 and the discharge route.Film 106 can be designed as be used for when container 101 distortion, becoming for medium 112 be can penetrate or can tear, thereby medium 112 can flow to the discharge route 116 by hole 114 from the inner chamber of container 101.
Fig. 2 shows the end elevation of deformation element shown in Figure 1.What illustrate is flexible cylinder 107 and orifice plate 105.Orifice plate 105 is configured for the terminal of flexible cylinder 107.A plurality of holes 114 are arranged in the orifice plate 105.Orifice plate 105 and hole 114 have circular cross section respectively.Medium is not shown.
Fig. 3 shows the plan view of the orifice plate 105 of deformation element shown in Figure 1.A plurality of coils of switching on 320 are set in orifice plate 105.Can give in the described coil 320 of each hole 114 distribution, thereby the magnetic field that is produced by coil 320 can influence the medium that is arranged in hole 114 at least.According to this embodiment, each hole 114 by a coil 320 around.Coil 320 can be touched by means of electric lead 322.Through the electric current of electric lead 322 can control coil 320 magnetic field.Electric lead 322 can be energized by control gear again.According to this embodiment, coil 320 is connected.
Fig. 4 illustrates the sectional view of orifice plate shown in Figure 3 105.The hole of orifice plate 105 has been full of medium 112 and a side is sealed by film 106.The winding of coil 320 can be arranged on the inside of orifice plate 105 and extend along the hole.
Fig. 1 to Fig. 4 shows the mode of execution according to the deformation element based on the drum type implementation of the present invention.The box 101 that is made of a plurality of cylinders 107 that can move into another is filled with magneto-rheological fluid 112.Fluid 112 fills up box 101 and also is arranged in the fluid passage 114 of base plate 105.For fluid 112 also can not flowed out from the collision box under the "on" position, the film 106 of " can damage " is fixed on orifice plate 105 back.Orifice plate 105 also allows other shapes different with the hole shape that illustrates.Equally, the quantity in hole 114 and diameter can be designed to difference.Equally, the shape of box 101 can be made of other not necessarily columnar parts.It for example can be triangle.In addition, discharge route 116 also can drive by pump, thus a kind of aspirator trapping medium 112 and in a container, provide medium.
Realized colliding the setting of box rigidity according to device of the present invention.Especially, can modulate by means of the deformation characteristic of 112 pairs of collisions of magneto-rheological fluid box.Variability realizes by Pheological fluid 112 according to the embodiment who describes.Can use other medium equally.The structure of collision box allows adjustable structure, thereby each parts 107 of this collision box can one move into another.
Working principle according to device of the present invention is that collision box direction 110 along power when collision is pulled to together.Thus, magneto-rheological fluid 112 is extruded the passage 114 that passes orifice plate 105.Being installed in coil 320 in the orifice plate 105 can switch on and produce gageable magnetic field according to electric current [strength.
By energising with form magnetic field, fluid 112 becomes more viscous according to energising situation and the magnetic field that causes thus, thereby fluid 112 is extruded and passes orifice plate passage 114 and become difficult.Can change the rigidity of whole collision box thus.
Can have or comprise in the vehicle that collides box at all according to the solution of the present invention and use.
Fig. 5 shows the explanatory view of a plurality of deformation elements, and these deformation elements can participate in energy when collision reduces.These deformation elements can be arranged on the front part of vehicle of vehicle and be divided into a plurality of zones.
What illustrate is the plan view of vehicle, and wherein, each braces comprises the zone of a deformation element respectively.First deformation element 1101 for example can comprise a crossbeam and have first stiffness K 1.Second deformation element 1102 for example can comprise one or two opposed collision boxes and have second stiffness K 2.The 3rd deformation element 1103 for example can comprise one or two opposed longerons and have the 3rd stiffness K 3.The 4th deformation element 1104 for example can comprise a bulkhead and have the 4th stiffness K 4.Other deformation element 1105 can be set.
Each deformation element has different rigidity, and wherein, towards tailstock direction, just the direction towards the main cabin increases the rigidity size from front part of vehicle.Therefore, the rigidity of deformation element 1101,1102,1103,1104,1105 satisfies:
K1<K2<K3<K4<K
Other
This stiffness relation or more particularly increasing for the mechanically correct deformation process of all deformation elements during collision process of grading type towards the rigidity of tailstock direction be an important prerequisite.
Fig. 6 shows the explanatory view of the exemplary distribution of parts rigidity in the wrinkle district.Be the direction of distortion on the abscissa and be the rigidity of deformation element on y coordinate, first element 1101 has first stiffness K 1, second element 1102 has that second stiffness K, 2, the three element 1103 have the 3rd stiffness K 3 and quaternary part 1104 has the 4th stiffness K 4.
This means when head-on crash at first crossbeam 1101 distortion, afterwards by collision box 1102 folding absorb part energy and at last the folding process by longeron 1103 reduce energy remaining.
If for example the stiffness K 3 of longeron 1103 than the stiffness K of collision boxes 1,102 2 little (K3<K2), so during collision process collision box 1102 do not take place folding but alternatively longeron 1103 take place folding.Perhaps, this longeron can bend owing to less rigidity.Thus, the energy that is absorbed by deformation element can much less.This can cause invading in the cabin more again and cause more serious occupant's damage thus.Can expect bigger vehicle damage and the maintenance expenses of Geng Gao equally.
It is the explanatory view of the range in stiffness 1320 of second element, 1102 distribution that Fig. 7 shows by simple Adaptive Control.Be again the direction of distortion on the abscissa and be the rigidity of deformation element on y coordinate.Range in stiffness 1320 stiffness K 1 and stiffness K 2 ' between.The maximum rigidity K2 ' of second element 1102 can not be greater than the stiffness K 3 of three element 1103.Therefore the range in stiffness 1320 of second element 1102 upwards is very limited.
Fig. 8 shows the explanatory view that can pass through according to the range in stiffness of adapt distribution of the present invention according to a kind of embodiment of the present invention.Be again the direction of distortion on the abscissa and be the rigidity of deformation element on y coordinate.Especially, show at the range in stiffness 1420 of second element 1102 with at the range in stiffness 1422 of three element 1103.Because the stiffness K 3 of three element 1103 is regulated, so the maximum rigidity K2 ' of second element 1102 has much bigger range in stiffness now for using according to K2 ' and K3 '.
According to the present invention, described adjusting can be set suitable rigidity and can be adjusted in stiffness relation between the deformation element on the other hand on the one hand for each of each deformation element 1101,1102,1103,1104.Thus, obviously bigger for the range in stiffness 1420 that adapts to the accident conditions use.
The beginning of collision can trigger electronic equipment by airbag and discern.By spendable data there, trigger electronic equipment and can determine crash type by means of the algorithm (for example by means of classification or by means of the AIDA algorithm) that is fit to.This can for example be about relating to the information that overlapping collision fully also relates to the less collision of overlapping coefficient.Can also transmit information equally here about collision the other side's hardness.Can also pass on information about striking speed.Here can import equally, as information from the inter-vehicular communication device from the information of collision-prevention system (RADAR, LIDAR).Significant especially for example is to pass on collision the other side's quality.
In other part, particularly determining aspect the rigidity of each deformation element, can be with various form implementation basis system of the present invention.

In the mode of execution shown in foundation Fig. 9, in step 1503, electronic circuit can by database 1502 determine with collision information 1501 have a mind to the stiffness K 1 that the free burial ground for the destitute adapts ', K2 ', K3 '.When as crash type being bumps against the great obstacle of quality for example on truck or the tram car time with half overlapping coefficient, so can be for example meaningfully, first, second and three element are adjusted to technical possible maximum rigidity K1 ', K2 ', K3 '.At this, predesignate the value of K1 ', K2 ' and K3 ' regularly.But the rigidity of element also can be set to any other combination K1 ', the K2 ' and the K3 ' that predesignate regularly, and this will be according to the Stiffness Distribution of the distribution of load condition and expectation and the requirement of K1 '<K2 '<K3 '<K4.Owing to can in big rigidity codomain, set, obviously present according to the advantage of method of the present invention with respect to traditional method of only regulating unique parts to first, second vehicle structure with three-element rigidity and therefore whole participation collision.
Figure 10 shows the fundamental diagram of foundation system of the present invention according to second kind of embodiment of the present invention.At this, carry out the internal calculation of the rigidity of the second and the 3rd deformation element.
In first method step 1501, provide again or definite collision information, this collision information can for example comprise the information about crash type or striking speed.Collision information is offered database 1502.In third party's method step 1603, based on collision information and from the information of database 1502 predesignate target stiffness K 1 '.With first components set to stiffness K 1 ' step 1504, with second components set to stiffness K 2 ' step 1505 and three element is set to stiffness K 3 ' step 1506 before, be used for determining stiffness K 2 ' and method step of K3 ' according to what this embodiment also will carry out other.
In step 1611, stiffness K 1 ' and K1 between compare.If K1 ' is not more than K1, the rigidity of first element is remained unchanged.If K1 '>K1 in step 1504, arrives value K1 ' with first components set so on the contrary.
In step 1613, stiffness K 1 ' and K2 between compare.If K1 ' is not more than K2, the rigidity of second element is remained unchanged.If K1 '>K2 on the contrary, in step 1615, calculate so stiffness K 2 ', make K2 '>K1 '.In step 1505, second components set is arrived value K2 ' at last.
In step 1616, stiffness K 2 ' and K3 between compare.If K2 ' is not more than K3, three-element rigidity is remained unchanged.If K2 '>K3 on the contrary, in step 1618, calculate so stiffness K 3 ', make K4>K3 '>K2 '.At last in step 1506, with the three element value of being set to K3 '.
In the mode of execution shown in foundation Figure 16, can only predesignate value K1 ' by database at the first element rigidity.The stiffness K 2 of other elements ', K3 ' can draw by K1 ' according to the computation rule that illustrates.
The advantage of this method be in application consumption seldom.Needn't predesignate the concrete combination of first, second and three-element rigidity, and only need predesignate the value of first element.Second and three-element rigidity automatically determine by the value of first element and can correspondingly control second and three element by algorithm.
Figure 11 shows the fundamental diagram of foundation system of the present invention according to the third embodiment of the present invention.At this, carry out the internal dynamic of the rigidity of the second and the 3rd deformation element and calculate.
The embodiment who describes with foundation Figure 10 correspondingly in first method step 1501, provides or definite collision information, and this collision information for example can comprise the information about crash type or striking speed.Collision information is offered database 1502.Dynamic additional information 1701 is provided in addition.Dynamic additional information 1701 for example can comprise the information about collision process, acceleration or speed reduction amount.In third party's method step 1603, based on collision information, from the information of database 1502 and dynamically additional information 1701 predesignate target stiffness K 1 '.With first components set to stiffness K 1 ' step 1604, with second components set to stiffness K 2 ' step 1605 and three element is set to stiffness K 3 ' step 1606 before, carry out the usefulness of describing according to Figure 16 and determine stiffness K 2 ' and additive method step 1611,1612,1613,1614,1615,1616,1617,1618 of K3 '.
The method step 1603,1604,1605,1606,1611,1612,1613,1614,1615,1616,1617,1618,1701 of joining together in step 1750 is carried out one time in each computation cycles according to this embodiment.Each computation cycles can responsively be implemented with the predetermined time lag or to predetermined incident continuously.
