Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle side wing anti-collision system, including a telescopic assembly fixed on a vehicle frame; and a collision panel located in a groove of a vehicle side body and provided correspondingly to the telescopic assembly. The groove is provided with a connection hole and the telescopic assembly is extended out of the connection hole towards two sides in a transverse direction of the vehicle to drive the collision panel to extend out of the groove till protruding from the vehicle side body when the collision panel is subjected to a collision. Through the telescopic assembly and the collision panel, protection layers are formed on two sides of the vehicle, and thus the anti-collision ability of the vehicle side wing is enhanced.

Claims

1. A vehicle side wing anti-collision system, comprising:

a telescopic assembly fixed on a vehicle frame; and

a collision panel located in a groove of a vehicle side body and provided correspondingly to the telescopic assembly;

wherein the groove is provided with a connection hole, and the telescopic assembly is extended out of the connection hole towards two sides in a transverse direction of the vehicle to drive the collision panel to extend out of the groove till protruding from the vehicle side body when the collision panel is subjected to a collision;

and wherein the telescopic assembly comprises a first telescopic mechanism, and the collision panel comprises a front aux wing correspondingly which is located on a front fender of the vehicle;

and wherein the telescopic assembly further comprises a second telescopic mechanism and the collision panel comprises a rear aux wing correspondingly which is located on a rear fender of the vehicle;

and wherein the telescopic assembly further comprises a third telescopic mechanism, and the collision panel further comprises a main wing correspondingly which is located on a door outer panel of the vehicle; and

wherein an end of the main wing is connected to an end of the door outer panel by a third elastic member, and the other end is connected to the other end of the door outer panel by a fourth elastic member;

wherein the door outer panel comprises a front door outer panel and a rear door outer panel and the main wing comprises a front main wing and a rear main wing;

and wherein the third telescopic mechanism is fixed on a vehicle frame bottom plate to which center pillars on two sides of the vehicle correspond;

and wherein an end of the front main wing is connected to an end of the front door outer panel by a fifth elastic member, the other end is connected to the other end of the front door outer panel by a sixth elastic member; and

an end of the rear main wing is connected to an end of the rear door outer panel by a seventh elastic member, the other end is connected to the other end of the rear door outer panel by an eighth elastic member.

2. The system according to claim 1, wherein the collision panel protruding from the vehicle side body is arranged to shape as an arc.

3. The system according to claim 1, wherein the telescopic assembly comprises a telescopic pole and an operating box connected to the vehicle frame in a fixed manner;

and the telescopic pole is located in the operating box, which is trended to extend out of the operating box along its axial direction;

or, the telescopic assembly comprises a telescopic pole and a bearing frame connected to the vehicle frame in a fixed manner; and

the telescopic pole is located in the bearing frame, which can be able to extend out of the bearing frame along its axial direction.

4. The system according to claim 3, wherein the operating box comprises:

a box body,

a pneumatic cylinder disposed in the box body; and

a pneumatic transmission pole disposed in the box body, an end which is connected to the pneumatic cylinder and the other end is connected to the telescopic pole; and

wherein the pneumatic cylinder is able to drive the telescopic pole to extend out of the box body in an axial direction of the telescopic pole by means of the pneumatic transmission pole.

5. The system according to claim 3, wherein the bearing frame comprises a frame body connected to the vehicle frame in a fixed manner, in which a division plate, a motor, a connecting rod having a rammer secured thereon in a fixed manner, a spring and an electric trigger are provided;

the division plate and the motor being respectively connected to the frame body in a fixed manner;

the motor being able to drive the connecting rod to approach the division plate;

an end of the spring being fixed on the division plate and the other end being connected to the connecting rod by means of the electric trigger;

an elastic member corresponding to the telescopic pole being disposed in the groove;

the elastic member farther from one end of the frame body being connected to the collision panel in a fixed manner, allowing that the collision panel can be always trended to retract into the groove;

a pole spring being sleeved outside the telescopic pole, allowing that the telescopic pole can be always trended to retract into the frame body;

the electric trigger driving the connecting rod away from the division plate by means of the spring when the collision panel is subjected to a collision so that the rammer contacts the telescopic pole and drives the telescopic pole out of the frame body and consequently the collision panel extends out of the groove till protruding from the vehicle side body;

a bearing and reinforcing body being disposed in the frame body which is disposed on a side of the rammer farther from the telescopic pole;

wherein the rammer is able to move with the connecting rod along the bearing and reinforcing body.

6. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 3, wherein the telescopic assembly further comprises a controller for controlling the telescopic pole to extend out of or retract into the operating box or the bearing frame.

7. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 6, further comprising a sensor assembly which is electrically connected to the controller, and used to generate an electrical signal and send it to the controller when the vehicle is subjected to a collision.

8. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 1, wherein a first reinforcing beam is connected between support frames of the front fenders on the two sides of the vehicle;

and wherein an end of the front aux wing nearer the vehicle head is articulated to the first reinforcing beam, and an end of the front aux wing farther from the vehicle head is connected to the front fender by the first elastic member.

9. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 1, wherein a second reinforcing beam is connected between support frames of the rear fenders on the two sides of the vehicle;

and wherein an end of the rear aux wing nearer the vehicle tail is articulated to the second reinforcing beam, and an end farther from the vehicle tail is connected to the rear fender by the second elastic member;

and wherein the front fender of the vehicle includes a groove receiving the front aux wing, the rear fender of the vehicle includes a groove receiving the rear aux wing, and the door outer panel includes a groove receiving the main wing.

10. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 1, wherein after the front aux wing, the main wing and the rear aux wing are arranged into a seamlessly and smoothly connected integral arc-shaped protective body after they protrude from the vehicle side body.

11. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 1, wherein the telescopic assembly further comprises a controller which is electrically connected to the first telescopic mechanism, the second telescopic mechanism and the third telescopic mechanism respectively so as to drive the front aux wing, the rear aux wing and the main wing to independently extend out of the vehicle side body.

12. The vehicle side wing anti-collision system according to claim 1, wherein the area of the collision panel is no less than 20% of the area of the corresponding vehicle side body.
