COLLISION DETECTING DEVICE FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE FOR DETECTING A COLLISION WITH A PEDESTRIAN

The collision detecting device according to the invention for a motor vehicle for detecting a collision with a pedestrian has a pressure measuring chamber (3), which is formed by a tube (5), and a flexurally stiff structural element (7). The tube is formed to be deformable in the event of a collision, i.e. as a result of a collision of the motor vehicle with the pedestrian, and is correspondinglyarranged. The tube is also supported in a direction, in particular in exactly one direction transverse to a vertical direction of the motor vehicle. In addition, the tube is essentially in particularly flexurally stiffly supported (73) on the structural element in exactly one, i.e. in exclusively one vertical direction of the vehicle. In exactly one vertical direction of the vehicle means that thetube is supported either in an upward direction or in a downward direction; however, it is not supported in both of these directions. 按照本发明的用于机动车的用来检测与行人碰撞的碰撞检测装置具有由软管(5)构成的压力测量室(3)和抗弯的结构元件(7)。软管构成为并且相应地设置能由碰撞引起地、亦即由于机动车与行人碰撞
