How about the anti-collision beam of this Ideal ONE? Today we will disassemble it and talk to you in detail.
Front anti-collision beam? Aluminum alloy
Remove the front bumper and see a very thick aluminum alloy anti-collision beam with a thickness of 4.63 mm, which is indeed thick. Not inferior to those luxury cars such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW. However, the width of the anti-collision beam is narrow and can only cover 63.83 of the front of the car.
There is no pedestrian protection foam for buffering between the front bumper and the anti-collision beam. If a low-speed collision occurs, pedestrians will not be protected enough and may easily injure themselves.
The upper part of the anti-collision beam is equipped with an active air intake grille, but only half of it. The lower part of the supercharged intercooler does not have an active air intake grille. In addition, the distance between the anti-collision beam and the water tank is relatively close. If a low-speed collision occurs and there is no foam buffer, the active air intake grille is more likely to be damaged, and it may even affect the rear water tank.
The ACC millimeter-wave radar below protrudes outside the front anti-collision beam and is fixed on a solid metal bracket. This design results in a higher chance of expensive radar collision damage. From our experience, most of the vehicles installed in this position are modified from gasoline vehicles based on old platforms, and are not native designs.
For the natively developed NIO ES6 and Tesla Model 3, the ACC radar is located far back and is hidden behind the anti-collision beam, so it can receive certain protection in the event of a collision.
We found an unusual resonance block on the water tank frame of this car. It is mainly used to suppress the vibration of the water tank frame. Generally speaking, you can only see it in the exhaust part of the chassis. This is the first time I have seen it installed on the water tank frame. We estimate that after discovering the vibration, in order to speed up the progress, we used this method to quickly solve it without fundamentally redesigning it.
The water tank frame of this car is fixed to the front impact box. If a low-speed collision occurs, the water tank frame and the impact box may collapse and deform together. This design will lead to increased collision losses, so few models are used. However, it is quite similar to the Toyota Highlander that was dismantled before.
The crash box structure and longitudinal beam style are also very similar to the Toyota Highlander. However, in order to cope with the 25-degree deflection crash test, the Highlander installed an "aluminum ingot" on the side of the driver's seat. Guide the vehicle to deflect during a collision to improve collision performance. I hope Ideal can learn from this aspect as well.
Rear anti-collision beam? Aluminum alloy
The rear anti-collision beam is the same as the front anti-collision beam. It is also made of aluminum alloy. The thickness is 2.89 mm, which is not too thin and can cover the car. The range ends at 62.43.
There is a protrusion between the rear anti-collision beam and the car body, which is used as a so-called "energy-absorbing box". Since it is welded to the car body and cannot be disassembled, if a collision deforms, it actually still needs to be Destroy the vehicle structure.
The rear tailgate protrudes from the anti-collision beam. If a rear-end collision occurs, the probability of damage to the rear tailgate is relatively high.
Summary? The anti-collision beam material is good and the design is average? Judging from the material of the anti-collision beam of this Ideal ONE, it is indeed very good. The front and rear are made of quite thick aluminum alloy material, which is basically the same as The standard of luxury cars is comparable. In addition to being light in weight and more suitable for new energy vehicles, aluminum alloy anti-collision beams also have better energy absorption than steel. They can absorb more energy in a collision, thereby better protecting the car body. ?However, there is no pedestrian protection foam between the anti-collision beam and the front bumper, so the buffering effect cannot be achieved. This is really inappropriate for a newly designed model. Secondly, the installation location of the ACC radar obviously did not fully consider the maintenance costs of low-speed collisions. ?In the past, it was found that this Ideal One is quite similar to the Toyota Highlander in terms of the crash box and water tank frame. Is this car related to the Highlander? Please continue to pay attention to the subsequent car teardown content.
