    摘要: A front end assembly for a motor vehicle has improved load absorption for forces acting on the front of the front end assembly. The front end assembly has at least one impact-absorbing crossbeam; at least one support beam which can be arranged vertically on the motor vehicle and towards the rear of the impact absorbing crossbeam, can be secured to a motor longitudinal support of the motor vehicle, and has at least one upper end portion that can be arranged at least partly above the motor longitudinal support. At least one support strut extends rearwards and downwards from the impact-absorbing crossbeam and via which the forces acting on the front of the impact-absorbing crossbeam can be partly transmitted to a front axle support of the motor vehicle. At least one deformation element can be arranged at least partly geodetically higher than the impact-absorbing crossbeam and in front of the upper end portion of the support beam at least partly on the front side, and is supported at least partly rearwards against the upper end portion of the support beam at least while deforming.

    摘要: A method is provided for monitoring a pedestrian detecting device for a vehicle, wherein an absorber is provided on a bumper of the vehicle. The absorber can deform in the event of a collision with a pedestrian. The deformation is transferred to a connecting element, and the connecting element actuates a sensor that generates a sensor signal. The functionality of the pedestrian detecting device can be monitored by saving the current sensor signal as a target value every time the vehicle is parked, and saving the current sensor signal as an actual value every time the vehicle is restarted. The actual value is compared to the target value, and a deviation of the target value from the actual value is detected and/or displayed.

    摘要: A pedestrian protection device for a motor vehicle, in particular for a front part of the motor vehicle, includes a bumper crossbeam and a deformation element arranged in front of the bumper crossbeam. The deformation element has a bending section, the end of which is in contact with a surface or which comes into contact with the surface in the event of a collision, in particular a front collision of the motor vehicle. The end of the bending section is designed such that it can move along the surface as a result of the collision, wherein the surface has an engaging device with which the end of the bending section can be, in particular, engaged.

    摘要: A pedestrian protection device for a motor vehicle includes a bumper crossmember and a deformation element which is arranged on the bumper crossmember and which has a first element and a second element which are displaceable relative to each other in the event of a collision of the motor vehicle, and a mechanical locking mechanism. The locking mechanism has a movable locking element which is pretensionable or is pretensioned with a spring device and which is arranged on the first element or on the second element, and with a depression or step to which the other of the first element and the second element can be latched in a form-fitting manner. In the event of a high displacement speed which is greater than or equal to a predetermined second displacement speed, the locking mechanism prevents displacement of the first element relative to the second element by means of self-locking of the locking element. In the event of an average displacement speed which is lower than the predetermined second displacement speed and greater than a predetermined first displacement speed, the locking mechanism permits displacement of the first element and of the second element relative to each other.

    摘要: A motor vehicle deformation device has two elements moveable together in a collision event and optionally locked. A locking device has a first centrifugal lever pivotably mounted about a first pivot axis located on the first element, a first torsion spring operatively connected to the first lever, a first rolling surface and a first contact surface arranged distally to same, as well as an identically designed second centrifugal lever neighboring the first lever. In a low-speed collision, the two levers each swivel such that the two rolling surfaces are in contact with one another and the two contact surfaces each rest against a corresponding receiving surface on the second element. In a pedestrian accident situation, the two levers each swivel such that the two rolling surfaces are in contact with one another, while the first and second contact surfaces are at a distance from the second element.

    摘要: A deformation structure, which is an energy absorption structure, has a series of deformation elements arranged one behind the other in a deformation direction, i.e. the direction in which a load acts. Each two adjacent deformation elements are coupled together by a coupling mechanism, such that in a first load case, in particular a first collision load case, two adjacent deformation elements enter into a latching engagement with one another or are positioned in a latching engagement, such that a relative displacement of the adjacent deformation elements with respect to one another in the deformation direction is prevented, or at least made more difficult, and a deforming of the deformation structure occurs at a high level of force, and in a second load case, in particular a second collision load case, two adjacent deformation elements do not enter into the latching engagement or leave a latching engagement, such that a relative displacement of the adjacent deformation elements in the deformation direction is enabled, or at least made easier, and a deforming of the deformation structure occurs at a low level of force.
