Abstract
A load introduction system of a vehicle for introducing a load counter to the direction of travel of the vehicle includes a left load support on a left side of the vehicle and a right load support on a right side of the vehicle, wherein the left load support is connected in a force-transmitting manner to a left deformation module on the left side of a front portion of the vehicle and the right load support is connected in a force-transmitting manner to a right deformation module on the right side of the front portion. The load introduction system also includes a crossmember which extends transversely with respect to the direction of travel of the vehicle, wherein the crossmember is connected in a force-transmitting manner to the two deformation modules.
Claims10
A load introduction system of a vehicle for introducing a load counter to the direction of travel of the vehicle, the load introduction system comprising:
- a left load support on a left side of the vehicle and a right load support on a right side of the vehicle, wherein the left load support is connected in a force-transmitting manner to a left deformation module on the left side of a front portion of the vehicle and the right load support is connected in a force-transmitting manner to a right deformation module on the right side of the front portion of the vehicle;
- and
- a crossmember which extends in a transverse direction with respect to the direction of travel of the vehicle,
- wherein the crossmember is connected in a force-transmitting manner to the left deformation module by a left weld seam that forms a first axis of rotation along which the crossmember is configured to, during a deformation of the left deformation module, rotate relative to the left deformation module, and
- wherein the crossmember is connected in a force-transmitting manner to the right deformation module by a right weld seam that forms a second axis of rotation along which the crossmember is configured to, during a deformation of the right deformation module, rotate relative to the right deformation module.
