Apparatus for sensing forward collision
View Patent ↗An apparatus for sensing a forward collision may include: a front end module (FEM) upper side member having a first end combined with a FEM upper member and a second end formed to extend toward a fender; a FEM vertical member having a first end combined with a front side member combined along a length direction of a vehicle from a first end portion of the FEM upper member and a second end combined with the FEM upper member; and a front impact sensor (FIS) configured to sense an impact being applied from a front of the vehicle. In particular, the FEM upper side member and the FEM vertical member are combined to overlap the FEM upper member.
1. An apparatus for sensing a forward collision,
comprising:
a front end module (FEM) upper side member extended along a length direction of a vehicle and including: a first end combined with a FEM upper member, and a second end extended toward a fender;
a front side member extended from a first end portion of the FEM upper member along the length direction of the vehicle;
a FEM vertical member including: a first end combined with the front side member, and a second end combined with the FEM upper member; and
a front impact sensor (FIS) configured to sense an impact being applied from a front of the vehicle,
wherein the FEM upper side member and the FEM vertical member are combined to overlap the FEM upper member.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the front impact sensor is mounted on a portion where the FEM upper side member and the FEM vertical member are combined to overlap the FEM upper member.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising: a fender apron upper front member including: a first end combined with the fender, and a second end combined with a FEM,
wherein the first end of the FEM upper side member is combined with the fender apron upper front member.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the fender apron upper front member, the FEM upper side member, and the FEM vertical member form a truss structure.
5. The apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising: a sensor connection member fastened to the front impact sensor and configured to penetrate the portion where the FEM upper side member and the FEM vertical member are combined to overlap each other.
6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the sensor connection member is combined with a FEM fastening member penetrating the FEM upper member.
7. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein a wire connected to the front impact sensor is wired to pass through an interior of the front side member.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 ,
wherein the front impact sensor, the FEM fastening member, and the sensor connection member are coaxially deployed.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein a wire connected to the front impact sensor is wired to pass through an interior of the front side member.
