In the traffic accident between the vehicle and the pedestrian, the leg of the pedestrian often collides with the headlamp of the vehicle. Since the traditional headlamp installation is usually arranged with three to four brackets connected to the body panel for reliable installation of the headlamp, many reinforcing ribs are added to the bracket, and the installation stiffness between the headlamp and the vehicle body is large and difficult to deform when a collision occurs, causing great impact injury to the pedestrian. At the same time, when the pedestrian collides with the headlamp of the vehicle, the upper body of the pedestrian moves towards the vehicle and the ground under the influence of the impact of the vehicle, and the head collides with the end cover of the vehicle and is seriously injured.

[0041] Embodiments of the present application are described below in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.

[0042] Reference is made below to Figures 1-8The following describes a headlight bracket assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The headlight bracket assembly 10 of this embodiment is applied in a headlight assembly 100 of a vehicle. The bracket assembly 10 supports and fixes the headlight 20, and at the same time, the bracket assembly 10 is fixed to the vehicle body, thereby fixing the headlight 20 to the vehicle body.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, the headlight bracket assembly 10 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a support frame 1. Specifically, the support frame 1 includes a headlight connecting portion 11, a body connecting portion 12, and a support rod 13. Further, the support rod 13 extends vertically, with its upper end connected to the headlight connecting portion 11 and its lower end connected to the body connecting portion 12. Further, the support rod 13 extends vertically (e.g., in the vertical direction...) Figure 4 The portion shown in the vertical direction forms a collapse zone 132.

[0044] The headlight connector 11 connects to the headlight 20, and the body connector 12 fixes the support frame 1 to the vehicle body. The crumple zone 132 on the support rod 13 refers to the area where, in the event of a collision and the force is transmitted to the support rod 13, the crumple zone 132 can deform to absorb the energy generated by the collision. For example, the crumple zone 132 can be formed by locally thinning the support rod 13, or by providing crumple grooves or oblong holes on the support rod 13.

[0045] In this embodiment, a crumple zone 132 is provided on the support rod 13. The crumple zone 132 weakens the local strength of the support rod 13. When the vehicle collides with a pedestrian, the pedestrian's leg impacts the headlight area, and the force is transmitted to the bracket assembly 10, exerting an x-direction force (e.g., on the bracket assembly 10). Figure 4 The impact force (shown in the front-to-back direction). Since the body connection part 12 supports and fixes the lower end of the support rod 13, and the headlight connection part 11 is located at the upper end of the bracket assembly 10, the headlight connection part 11 is the first to be subjected to the impact force, which will exert an x-direction force on the support rod 13, causing the support rod 13 to break and fail in the crumple zone 132. At this time, the headlight connection part 11 will move in the x and z directions to offset the impact force on the pedestrian in the x and z directions during the collision. In this way, the impact force on the pedestrian in the x and z directions during the vehicle collision is reduced, thus improving the vehicle's ability to protect the pedestrian's legs. At the same time, since the bracket assembly 10 crushes and absorbs energy in the z direction, the range of motion of the pedestrian's upper body towards the vehicle and the ground is reduced when impacted by the vehicle, thereby protecting the head.

[0046] When the vehicle is repaired after a collision, the impact force on the headlamp 20 is reduced due to the energy absorption of the support frame 1 during the collision, and damage to the headlamp is avoided. Thus, only the support assembly 10 needs to be replaced to repair the headlamp assembly 100, the repair cost of the headlamp assembly 100 is reduced, and the vehicle repair cost is reduced.

[0047] According to the support assembly 10 of the headlamp of the present application, the support frame 1 can be crushed in the z direction to absorb energy by providing a crush zone 132 on the support rod 13 extending upward and downward. On the one hand, the protection capability of the vehicle for the legs of pedestrians is improved, and on the other hand, the movement amplitude of the upper body of the pedestrian towards the vehicle and the ground is reduced when the pedestrian is impacted by the vehicle, thereby protecting the head. At the same time, the impact force on the headlamp 20 during the collision is reduced, and damage to the headlamp 20 is avoided. Thus, only the support assembly 10 needs to be replaced to repair the headlamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the repair cost of the headlamp assembly 100 and the vehicle repair cost.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, with reference to Figure 4 , the support rod 13 can be bent in the upward and downward direction to form the crush zone 132. The support rod 13 is bent in the upward and downward direction, and a larger stress point is formed at the bending position, so that the support rod 13 is more likely to be broken under stress, thereby improving the crush capability of the support rod 13. For example, a portion of the support rod 13 is protruded forward in the front and back direction.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , the support rod 13 can include at least two rod segments 131 connected in sequence, each rod segment 131 extends along a straight line, and the included angle between at least one rod segment 131 and the horizontal plane is different from the included angle between the remaining rod segments 131 and the horizontal plane. The connection position of the adjacent two rod segments 131 forms the crush zone 132, and a larger stress point is formed at the bending position, so that the support rod 13 is more likely to be broken under stress, thereby improving the crush capability of the support rod 13. For example, the support rod 13 can be provided with two, three, four, five or more rod segments 131.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 , the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the vehicle body connecting portion 12 both extend horizontally. Thus, the connection stability of the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the vehicle body connecting portion 12 at the connection position of the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body is increased, the headlamp 20 is more firmly connected and fixed on the vehicle body, and the headlamp 20 can be prevented from sinking by the headlamp connecting portion 11 supporting and fixing the headlamp 20 in the z direction. For example, the headlamp connecting portion 11 can be a horizontal plate, and the vehicle body connecting portion 12 can be a horizontally placed rectangular frame. Further, the bottom surface of the rectangular frame can be a closed plane.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown inFigure 4 As shown, the support frame 1 can further comprise a support leg 14 connected between the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the vehicle body connecting portion 12, the support leg 14 being arranged in the front-rear direction (for example, the front-rear direction shown) apart from the support rod 13, the support leg 14 being used to support and fix the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the vehicle body connecting portion 12, the support leg 14 being arranged in the front-rear direction apart from the support rod 13, on the one hand, to increase the support strength, and on the other hand, to facilitate failure and fracture of the support frame 1 in the front-rear direction when the support frame 1 is subjected to a collision in the front-rear direction, and to further better absorb the collision impact energy. For example, the support leg 14 and the support rod 13 are arranged apart in the front-rear direction, wherein the support leg 14 comprises two support legs arranged in parallel and apart in the left-right direction, and the support rod 13 also comprises two support rods arranged in parallel and apart in the left-right direction. Figure 4 As shown, the support frame 1 can further comprise a support leg 14 connected between the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the vehicle body connecting portion 12, the support leg 14 being arranged in the front-rear direction (for example, the front-rear direction shown) apart from the support rod 13, the support leg 14 being used to support and fix the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the vehicle body connecting portion 12, the support leg 14 being arranged in the front-rear direction apart from the support rod 13, on the one hand, to increase the support strength, and on the other hand, to facilitate failure and fracture of the support frame 1 in the front-rear direction when the support frame 1 is subjected to a collision in the front-rear direction, and to further better absorb the collision impact energy. For example, the support leg 14 and the support rod 13 are arranged apart in the front-rear direction, wherein the support leg 14 comprises two support legs arranged in parallel and apart in the left-right direction, and the support rod 13 also comprises two support rods arranged in parallel and apart in the left-right direction.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The support frame assembly 10 can further comprise a first support 2 arranged on the upper side of the support frame 1 and connected between the headlamp connecting portion 11 and the headlamp 20, used to fix the headlamp 20 to the support frame 1, facilitating installation and fixation.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 The first support 2 can comprise a base 21 arranged on the upper side of the headlamp connecting portion 11 and connected to the headlamp connecting portion 11 in a clamping manner. In this way, by clamping the base 21 to the headlamp connecting portion 11, not only can the first support 2 be connected and fixed to the support frame 1, facilitating installation, but also when the headlamp 20 is subjected to an impact force, the clamping connection makes it easier for the base 21 to be disengaged from the headlamp connecting portion 11 and to be displaced rearward, providing a certain buffer space for the headlamp 20, thereby protecting the headlamp 20.

[0054] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 One of the base 21 and the headlamp connecting portion 11 can be provided with a positioning protrusion 111 and the other can be provided with a positioning groove 211, the positioning protrusion 111 being fitted into the positioning groove 211 to fix the base 21 to the headlamp connecting portion 11. The base 21 and the headlamp connecting portion 11 are connected in a limiting manner by the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 111 and the positioning groove 211, which has the advantages of simple structure, good limiting and fixing effect, and easy assembly. For example, the positioning groove 211 can be arranged on the lower surface of the base 21, and the positioning protrusion 111 can be arranged on the upper surface of the headlamp connecting portion 11, or vice versa.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4As shown in the figure, the positioning protrusion 111 can be formed on the upper side surface of the headlamp connecting part 11, and the front side surface of the positioning protrusion 111 is formed as a guide slope 1111, which extends upwardly in the front-to-back direction. By arranging the guide slope 1111, the base 21 is more likely to slide backward along the guide slope 1111 and disengage from the headlamp connecting part 11 when the headlamp 20 is impacted, so that the headlamp 20 is more likely to slide backward after being impacted.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present application, the positioning protrusion 111 is formed on the lower side surface of the base 21, and the rear side surface of the positioning protrusion 111 is formed as a guide slope 1111, which extends upwardly in the front-to-back direction. Thus, the base 21 is more likely to slide backward along the guide slope 1111 and disengage from the headlamp connecting part 11 when the headlamp 20 is impacted, so that the headlamp 20 is more likely to slide backward after being impacted.

[0057] In some examples of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The support frame 1 can further include a pressing rod 15, which is a U-shaped rod protruding upwardly, and the two ends of the pressing rod 15 are connected to the vehicle body connecting part 12, the rear end of the base 21 passes through the pressing rod 15 from front to back, and the upper and lower side surfaces of the base 21 abut against the headlamp connecting part 11 and the pressing rod 15, respectively. By abutting the pressing rod 15 against the base 21, the stability of the clamping fixation of the base 21 and the support rod 13 can be increased.

[0058] For example, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The pressing rod 15 can include a first rod, a second rod and a third rod, the first rod and the second rod extend vertically and are arranged at intervals in the left-right direction, and the third rod is arranged horizontally and perpendicularly to the first rod and the second rod. Further, the first rod and the second rod can be thinned in part, so that when the first support frame 2 moves backward under the action of an impact force, the first support frame 2 generates a backward acting force on the pressing rod 15, and at this time, the pressing rod 15 fails and breaks at the thinned position of the first rod and the second rod, thereby better absorbing impact energy and buffering the impact force on the headlamp 20 during a collision, avoiding damage to the headlamp, so that only the support frame assembly 10 needs to be replaced to realize maintenance of the headlamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the headlamp assembly 100 and the vehicle maintenance cost.

[0059] In one example of the present application, as shown in the figure, Figure 4 The pressing rod 15 can be provided with a pressing sheet 151 protruding downwardly, and the lower end of the pressing sheet 151 abuts against the upper surface of the base 21 to press and fix the base 21. For example, the pressing sheet 151 can be an arc-shaped elastic sheet protruding downwardly.

[0060] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 The first support 2 can include a connecting plate 22 connected to and above the base 21, and the connecting plate 22 is provided with a first headlamp connecting hole 221, and the connecting plate 22 is connected to the headlamp 20 through the first headlamp connecting hole 221 by a first fastener. In this way, the first support 2 can be connected and fixed to the headlamp 20, and it is convenient to disassemble, assemble and replace.

[0061] In one example of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 The first headlamp connecting hole 221 can include a plurality of first headlamp connecting holes 221 arranged at intervals, so that the first support 2 can be more firmly connected and fixed to the headlamp 20. For example, two first headlamp connecting holes 221 can be provided on the connecting plate 22.

[0062] In some examples of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The support assembly 10 can further include a second support 3 connected between the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body, and the second support 3 has a vertically extending first weakened portion 31, and the first weakened portion 31 is formed with a first weakened hole 32. In this embodiment, the second support 3 is provided for fixing the headlamp 20, which can improve the stability of the installation and fixation of the support assembly 10 to the headlamp 20. At the same time, by providing the first weakened hole 32 on the vertically extending first weakened portion 31, when the headlamp 20 is impacted, the second support 3 connected to the headlamp 20 will fail and break in the z direction. Not only can the impact energy be absorbed, but also the headlamp 20 can more easily move in the x and z directions as a whole when subjected to impact force, thereby protecting the headlamp 20 from being damaged. In this way, only the support assembly 10 needs to be replaced to achieve maintenance of the headlamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the headlamp assembly 100 and the vehicle maintenance cost.

[0063] In one example of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The first weakened hole 32 can include a plurality of first weakened holes 32, which can further reduce the strength of the first weakened portion 31, so that the second support 3 can quickly break when the headlamp assembly 100 is impacted, thereby absorbing impact energy and more effectively protecting the headlamp 20 from being damaged. In this way, only the support assembly 10 needs to be replaced to achieve maintenance of the headlamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the headlamp assembly 100 and the vehicle maintenance cost. For example, the first weakened hole 32 can include two, three, four, five or more first weakened holes 32.

[0064] In some examples of the present application, the second support 3 can be connected to the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body by fasteners. By connecting the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body by fasteners, the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body can be more firmly connected, and it is convenient to disassemble, assemble and replace the second support 3.

[0065] Further, the second support 3 can be provided with a first vehicle body connecting hole 33, and the second support 3 is connected with the vehicle body through the fastener passing through the first vehicle body connecting hole 33, thereby simple structure and convenient installation.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The support assembly 10 can further include a third support 4 connected between the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body, the third support 4 has a vertically extending second weakened portion 41, and the second weakened portion 41 is formed with a second weakened hole 42. In this embodiment, the third support 4 is provided for fixing the headlamp 20, which can improve the mounting and fixing stability of the support assembly 10 to the headlamp 20. Meanwhile, the second weakened hole 42 is provided on the vertically extending second weakened portion 41, so that when the headlamp 20 is impacted, the third support 4 connected with the headlamp 20 fails and breaks in the z direction, which not only can absorb the impact energy, but also can make the headlamp 20 more easily move in the x and z directions as a whole when impacted by the impact force, thereby protecting the headlamp 20 from being damaged. In this way, only the support assembly 10 needs to be replaced, which can realize the maintenance of the headlamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the headlamp assembly 100 and the vehicle maintenance cost.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 8 The second weakened hole 42 can include a plurality of second weakened holes, thereby further reducing the strength of the second weakened portion 41, so that the third support 4 can quickly break when the headlamp assembly 100 is impacted, which can not only absorb the impact energy, but also more effectively protect the headlamp 20 from being damaged. In this way, only the support assembly 10 needs to be replaced, which can realize the maintenance of the headlamp assembly 100, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the headlamp assembly 100 and the vehicle maintenance cost. For example, the second weakened hole 42 can include two, three, four, five or more second weakened holes.

[0068] In some examples of the present application, the third support 4 can be connected with the headlamp 20 and the vehicle body through the fastener, respectively. The headlamp 20 and the vehicle body can be connected more firmly through the fastener, which is convenient for the mounting, dismounting and replacement of the third support 4.

[0069] In some examples of the present application, the third support 4 can be provided with a second vehicle body connecting hole 43, and the third support 4 is connected with the vehicle body through the fastener passing through the second vehicle body connecting hole 43, thereby simple structure and convenient installation.
