CRASH BOX CAPABLE OF OPTIMIZING THE ABSORPTION RATE OF COLLISION ENERGY AND MINIMIZING DAMAGES TO PARTS ON COLLISION WITH A VEHICLE

摘要

PURPOSE: A crash box is provided to increase safety by minimizing strain of a side member by reducing bending on collision with a vehicle.;CONSTITUTION: A crash box(100) connects the side member of a vehicle to a bumper back-beam. The cross section of the crash box is formed in an octagonal shape. A barrier(110) is formed on the middle of the crash box, so strength against load generating on collision is ensured. The crash box consists of a first panel(101) and a second panel(102). Both ends of the first and second panels are coupled in an overlapped state.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2012
