Abstract

The invention provides a radar bracket with self-adaptiveness to a curved surface. The radar bracket comprises: a bracket body provided with a radar mounting part; and, a bracket flanging configured to be fixed to a skin and being arranged at a periphery of the bracket body. The bracket flanging is provided with a plurality of weakened structures for providing its self-adaptiveness to a curved surface. When the radar bracket is to be bonded or welded to a skin, thanks to the bracket flanging's ability of easily deform to adapt to different curved surfaces, the same radar bracket can be attached to different positions of the skin with different curvatures. According to the invention, it is provided a radar bracket with self-adaptiveness to a curved surface that can be used universally all over an assembled automobile, hence the production costs, the mounting costs, and the probability of erroneous mounting are greatly reduced.

Abstract

A flexible radar support for absorbing vibration deviation comprises a support base and a support top cover that are engaged with each other in an interlocking manner. A housing space for arranging a radar is formed between the support base and the support top cover. The support base includes: a centrally arranged base center, and a base edge circumferentially arranged around the base center. The base edge and the base center are connected through four flexible structures that form U-shaped cantilever beams protruding towards the support top cover. With the flexible radar support provided, and with the design of U-shaped flexible structures, where an automobile body vibrates at a large amplitude, the flexible radar support can still absorb swaying in the up and down, and left and right directions during the course of driving, thereby reducing the impact of the automobile body's vibrations on the detection precision of a radar.

Abstract

An assembly is provided. The assembly comprises a towing hook orifice covering plate (10) and a skin (20), wherein the towing hook orifice covering plate comprises a covering plate modeling surface (10a) facing the outside of a bumper and a covering plate structural surface (10b) facing the inside of the bumper. The covering plate structural surface has oppositely arranged rotary lugs (13a, 13b) that are perpendicular to the covering plate structural surface and extend therefrom, and the rotary lugs have arc surfaces (131a, 131b) away from the covering plate structural surface. The skin (2) has grooves (21a, 21b) for accommodating the rotary lugs, and the grooves comprise first arc sections (211a, 211b), linear sections (212a, 212b) and second arc sections (213a, 213b), wherein the linear sections are located between the first arc sections and the second arc sections. The assembly has a rotating axis defined by the rotary lugs and solves the interference problem in the prior art by changing the position of the rotating axis. The assembly maintains the vehicle outlook by not changing the appearance of the covering plate modeling surface, and can satisfy the requirements for the opening of the towing hook orifice covering plate and for the gap between the towing hook orifice covering plate and the skin.

Abstract

Example embodiments relate to a vehicle energy absorbing device that includes a primary energy absorbing box and a secondary energy absorbing box, the primary energy absorbing box having a U-shaped cross section with a bottom and a wall extending therefrom, the secondary energy absorbing box being nested inside the primary energy absorbing box. In the event of a collision between a car and a pedestrian, the secondary energy absorbing box of the vehicle energy absorbing device is configured to provide continuous stiffness when the primary energy absorbing box is almost collapsed, so as to protect lower legs of pedestrians and reduce harm thereto. The vehicle energy absorbing device can not only decrease harm to lower legs of pedestrians, but also reduce damage to automobiles as a result of a low-speed collision.
