The present disclosure relates generally to a vehicle front bumper assembly and in particular relates to a vehicle front bumper assembly for absorbing slow speed impact and preventing unintended intrusion.
BACKGROUND
[0002] In vehicles, a bumper is provided to reduce or prevent physical damage to the front and rear of the vehicles during slow speed impact. Accordingly, a front bumper assembly is designed, to be rigid, by manufacturers to prevent physical damage to the components such as headlights, during slow speed impact. In addition, manufacturers have to follow certain regulations for protection of pedestrian. Accordingly, the bumper is designed, to be impact absorbing, by manufacturers to prevent physical injury to the pedestrian. This impact absorbing capability is provided to the bumper by introducing flexibility in the front bumper assembly. In conclusion, the front bumper assembly is designed by the manufacturers by maintaining a balance between rigidity and flexibility to comply with the regulations related to safety of the pedestrians and the regulations related to safety of the component in the front of a vehicle.
[0003] Generally, the front bumper assembly primarily comprises a vehicle front frame structure and a bumper horizontal member. The vehicle front frame structure has a first front vertical member and a second front vertical member spaced apart horizontally. The bumper horizontal member has its first end securely attached to the first front vertical member and its second end securely attached to the second front vertical member. Front head lights are provided in the vicinity of the first end and second end of the bumper horizontal member. To prevent physical damage to the front head lights during slow speed impact, a plurality of box shaped

brackets are provided in the front bumper assembly. The box shaped brackets have their bases securely attached to the front vertical members and their tops securely attached to the corresponding ends of the bumper horizontal member. Generally, the box shaped structure is a rigid structure which makes the box-shaped bracket not easily deformable. This provides rigidity to the front bumper assembly. In an event of a slow speed impact, the box shaped bracket has sufficient strength to stop the impactor without being deformed and prevent any unintended intrusions of the impactor over the front headlights. However, in event of slow speed impact with a pedestrian, due to its rigid nature, the front bumper assembly may injure the pedestrian. Thus, the solution fails to comply with regulations related to safety of pedestrians.
[0004] Generally, to prevent physical damage to the pedestrian during slow
speed impact, a plurality of Z-shaped brackets are provided in the front bumper assembly. The Z-shaped brackets have their bases securely attached to the front vertical members and their tops securely attached to the corresponding ends of the bumper horizontal member. Generally, the Z-shaped structure is deformable which makes the Z-shaped bracket flexible. This provides flexibility to the front bumper assembly. In event of a slow speed impact with a pedestrian, the Z-shaped bracket takes on the impact energy and get deformed and prevent any unintended injury to the pedestrian. However, in the event testing of slow speed impact with an impactor, due to its flexible nature, the front bumper assembly deformed and leads to unintended intrusion of the impactor over the front headlights because of its insufficient strength to stop the impactor. This may results in physical damage to the front headlights. Thus, the solution fails to comply with regulations related to safety of components provided in front of the vehicle.
[0005] To comply with both the regulations, a solution is provided to use impact absorbers along with the box-shaped bracket. However, use of impact absorbers increase the number of parts which leads to increase in overall cost and weight of the vehicle front bumper assembly. Further, to accommodate additional impact absorbers more packaging space is required.

[0006] Accordingly, there is a need for a vehicle front bumper assembly for absorbing slow speed impact and prevent unintended intrusion.
