A Structure of Hood Hinge in Car

본 발명은 자동차의 후드힌지 구조에 관한 것으로서, 그 목적은 주행중인 자동차와 보행자의 충돌사고 발생시 보행자의 두부(頭部)에 치명적 상해가 가해질수 있는 후드힌지부가 충격발생시 하방으로 밀려나게 함으로써, 충격흡수공간을 늘려 HIC(head injury criteria)를 최소화하는데 있다. The present invention relates to a hood hinge structure of an automobile, and an object thereof is that the hood hinge portion, which can cause fatal injury to the head of a pedestrian when an accident occurs between a driving vehicle and a pedestrian, is pushed downward when an impact occurs. Increasing the absorption space to minimize head injury criteria (HIC). 본 발명은, 후드패널 일측끝단의 저부에 힌지암이 부착되고 상기 힌지암이 회전되도록 하는 자동차의 후드힌지 구조에 있어서, 상기 힌지암의 일측은 완충수단의 일측과 힌지핀을 매개로 연결되고 이 완충수단은 플랜지를 관통하여 슬라이딩되며 상기 완충수단은 플랜지에서 이탈되지 않도록 걸림수단을 갖고 상기 플랜지는 차체에 결합되는 것을 특징으로 하는 자동차의 후드힌지 구조이다. The present invention, in the hood hinge structure of the vehicle to the hinge arm is attached to the bottom end of the hood panel one end, the hinge arm is rotated, one side of the hinge arm is connected via one side of the buffer means and the hinge pin The shock absorbing means slides through the flange, and the shock absorbing means has a locking means so as not to be separated from the flange, and the flange is a hood hinge structure of the vehicle, characterized in that coupled to the vehicle body. 이상의 구성에 의하여 본 발명은 자동차와 보행자가 충돌하는 사고가 발생되어 사람의 머리부위가 후드패널에 형성된 후드힌지와 2차충돌된다 하더라도 후드힌지 자체가 충격력에 의해 하방으로 밀려남으로써, 후드힌지에는 상대적인 충격흡수 공간이 형성된다. 이에 의하여, 상기 후드힌지와 충돌된 보행자의 머리부위 상해치가 크게 감소된다는 특유의 효과가 있다. According to the above configuration, even if the head of the person collides with the hood hinge formed on the hood panel due to an accident in which the car and the pedestrian collide, the hood hinge itself is pushed downward by the impact force, so that the hood hinge is relative to the hood hinge. A shock absorbing space is formed. Thereby, there is a unique effect that the head injury value of the pedestrian collided with the hood hinge is greatly reduced.
