Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive radiator grilles, specifically to a metal mesh automotive radiator grille. Background Technology

[0002] Besides fulfilling its normal functions of air intake and heat dissipation, the car radiator grille also serves an aesthetic purpose, playing a crucial role in the overall appearance of the vehicle's front end. As people's living standards improve, the role of cars in daily life has evolved from mere transportation to enhancing the driving and riding experience. The trend in automobiles is towards a youthful and sporty appearance, with a subjective sense of quality. This invention satisfies the demand for a sporty front grille with a metallic finish, while also providing more effective protection for the engine compartment.

[0003] Currently, the market primarily employs two approaches to achieve a youthful, sporty look and a high-quality perceived appearance:

[0004] The first option, such as Figure 7 ,

[0005] By increasing the external size of the grille and enlarging the internal mesh while maintaining strength, a youthful and sporty design is achieved. However, this approach lacks a metallic feel, and the overly large mesh cannot effectively prevent debris from flying into the engine compartment during driving. There is a potential risk that flying debris could impact engine compartment components and cause certain functions to malfunction.

[0006] The second option, such as Figure 8 ,

[0007] The sporty styling requirements were achieved by increasing the external dimensions of the grille and shaping the plastic mesh itself. However, because the mesh is made of plastic, it cannot provide a high-quality look. Plastic mesh also suffers from weaknesses such as weak strength, issues with incomplete coating during surface treatment, and difficulties in creating a leather-like texture. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a metal mesh automotive radiator grille is provided.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0010] A metal mesh automotive radiator grille includes a grille body and a metal mesh mounting plate, the metal mesh mounting plate being detachably connected to the grille body; and a metal mesh, the metal mesh being fixedly connected to the metal mesh mounting plate, the metal mesh being located between the grille body and the metal mesh mounting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the mesh of the metal mesh is a 14mm*14mm cube.

[0012] Preferably, the boundary between the metal mesh and the metal mesh mounting plate is 2mm apart.

[0014] Preferably, the first and second metal wires are selected from metal wires with a diameter of 1.2 ± 0.1 (mm).

[0015] Preferably, the first and second metal wires are made of stainless steel.

[0016] Preferably, the bracket is a frame with multiple outwardly extending protrusions along the perimeter of the frame; multiple horizontal beams are arranged horizontally and parallel inside the bracket; multiple vertical beams are arranged vertically and parallel inside the bracket; and multiple bolt holes are provided on the protrusions and vertical beams.

[0017] Preferably, multiple integrated pallet claws are provided, each having a mutually perpendicular surface. The multiple integrated pallet claws are respectively located at both ends of the metal mesh mounting pallet, with at least two integrated pallet claws at each end. The vertical openings of the two integrated pallet claws correspond to each other and are axially symmetrical.

[0039] The following description is intended to disclose the invention and enable those skilled in the art to implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0040] To address the technical problem of preventing flying debris from impacting the engine compartment through the air intake of the grid body 1 during operation and causing damage to internal components, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0041] A metal mesh automotive radiator grille includes a grille body 1, a metal mesh mounting plate 3, the metal mesh mounting plate 3 being detachably connected to the grille body 1, and a metal mesh 2, the metal mesh 2 being fixedly connected to the metal mesh mounting plate 3, the metal mesh 2 being located between the grille body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3.

[0042] Specifically, the metal mesh 2 is positioned between the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3. The shape of the metal mesh 2 corresponds to the shape of the metal mesh mounting plate 3, and the shape of the metal mesh mounting plate 3 corresponds to the shape of the grid body 1. This ensures that the metal mesh 2 can be clamped between the metal mesh mounting plate 3 and the grid body 1 without any gaps. The metal mesh mounting plate 3 is detachably connected to the grid body 1 by self-tapping screws 3e. A decorative outer frame 4 is installed on the side of the grid body 1 away from the metal mesh mounting plate 3, and a decorative bright strip 4a is also provided on the decorative outer frame 4.

[0043] To address the technical challenge of how to better prevent flying debris from vehicles while ensuring ventilation, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0044] The mesh of metal mesh 2 consists of 14mm*14mm cubes.

[0045] Specifically, a mesh that is too large cannot effectively prevent gravel from flying into the engine compartment during driving. A 14mm*14mm cube mesh can effectively block gravel flying in during vehicle movement, preventing gravel from getting into engine compartment parts and causing potential malfunctions of certain vehicle functions.

[0046] To solve the technical problem that the metal mesh 2 can cover all the air inlets of the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0047] The boundary between the metal mesh 2 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3 is 2mm.

[0048] Specifically, the metal mesh 2 is positioned between the metal mesh mounting plate 3 and the grid body 1. If the metal mesh 2 is too large, gaps may appear when the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3 are connected. If the metal mesh 2 is too small, some air intake holes in the grid body 1 or the metal mesh mounting plate 3 may not be covered by the metal mesh 2, potentially allowing gravel to enter the engine compartment through these air intake holes and damage the vehicle. A 2mm difference in the boundary between the metal mesh 2 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3 ensures that when the metal mesh 2 is positioned between the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3, it covers all the air intake holes in both the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3, thus protecting the components inside the engine compartment.

[0049] To address the technical challenge of achieving greater structural stability for the metal mesh itself, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0050] The metal mesh 2 includes multiple first metal wires 2a, which are parallel to each other and spaced 14 mm apart, with an angle of 45° between them and the horizontal plane; and multiple second metal wires 2b, which are parallel to each other and spaced 14 mm apart, and which intersect the first metal wires 2a with each other through partial electric welding or by interlacing them perpendicularly to form a mesh.

[0051] Specifically, the first metal wire 2a has an angle of 45° with the horizontal plane. Multiple parallel first metal wires 2a and multiple parallel second metal wires 2b intersect perpendicularly to form a 14*14mm cube grid. In order to make the connection between the first metal wires 2a and the second metal wires 2b more stable, they are assembled by local electric welding or interlocking.

[0052] To address the technical issue of making the metal mesh 2 more rationally sized, it can be placed within the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0053] The first metal wire 2a and the second metal wire 2b are selected to be metal wires with a diameter of 1.2 ± 0.1 mm.

[0054] Specifically, the diameters of the first metal wire 2a and the second metal wire 2b are preferably 1.2 ± 0.1 mm. If the diameters of the first metal wire 2a and the second metal wire 2b are too small, their strength will be too low, and they will be at risk of breaking after being hit by gravel. If the diameters of the first metal wire 2a and the second metal wire 2b are too large, the metal mesh 2 will look too bulky, making its metallic texture lose its original characteristics, and also increasing the space requirement between the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3, thus increasing space costs.

[0055] To address the technical challenge of achieving performance requirements for metal mesh 2 without requiring surface treatment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0056] The first metal wire 2a and the second metal wire 2b are made of stainless steel.

[0057] Specifically, the first metal wire 2a and the second metal wire 2b are made of stainless steel, which provides a metallic texture and allows users to subjectively perceive high quality. Moreover, stainless steel generally does not require surface treatment to meet performance requirements, so there are no issues such as difficulties in surface treatment or low surface treatment quality.

[0058] To address the technical challenge of better installation between the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0059] The metal mesh mounting plate 3 includes a bracket 3c, which is a frame with multiple outwardly extending protrusions 3c1 along the perimeter of the frame; a crossbeam 3a, with multiple crossbeams 3a arranged horizontally and parallel within the bracket 3c; and a vertical beam 3b, with multiple vertical beams 3b arranged vertically and parallel within the bracket 3c. Multiple bolt holes 3b1 are provided on the protrusions 3c1 and the vertical beams 3b.

[0060] Specifically, bracket 3c is a frame whose shape corresponds to the edge of the grid body 1. Inside bracket 3c, there are multiple parallel horizontal beams 3a and multiple parallel vertical beams 3b. The air inlet formed by the horizontal beams 3a and vertical beams 3b is in the same position as the air inlet on the grid body 1. This ensures that after the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3 are connected, the size and position of their air inlets are the same, ensuring smooth airflow between the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3. Bolt holes 3b1 are provided on the protrusion 3c1 and the vertical beams 3b, allowing self-tapping screws 3e to detachably connect the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3 through the bolt holes 3b1. Installing multiple bolt holes 3b1 makes the connection between the grid body 1 and the metal mesh mounting plate 3 more stable.

[0061] To solve the technical problem of how to fix the metal mesh 2 to the metal mesh mounting plate 3, such as Figure 4-6 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0062] The metal mesh mounting tray 3 also includes multiple integrated tray claws 3d, each of which has a mutually perpendicular surface. The multiple integrated tray claws 3d are respectively arranged at both ends of the metal mesh mounting tray 3, with at least two integrated tray claws 3d at each end. The vertical surface openings of the two integrated tray claws 3d correspond to each other and are axially symmetrical. The metal mesh 2 is mounted on the metal mesh mounting tray 3 through the integrated tray claws.

[0063] Specifically, the integrated claw 3d of the pallet is set at both ends of the middle crossbeam 3a. Each end of the crossbeam 3a is provided with two integrated claw 3ds of the pallet. The integrated claw 3d of the pallet has a mutually perpendicular surface. The openings of the two perpendicular surfaces of the two integrated claws of the pallet are corresponding to each other and axially symmetrical, so that a clamping space is formed between the two perpendicular surfaces of the two integrated claws of the pallet 3d for clamping one metal wire of the metal mesh 2. The symmetrical integrated claw 3d of the pallet is set at both ends, so that two different metal wires are clamped at each end, so that the metal mesh 2 can be stably clamped on the metal mesh mounting pallet 3.

[0064] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed invention. The scope of protection claimed by the appended claims and their equivalents is defined.
