[0029] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a vehicle provided by the present application.

[0030] The vehicle 100 provided by the present application includes a housing 200 and a bumper assembly 300. A part of the structure of the bumper assembly 300 passes through the housing 200 and is connected to the vehicle 100.

[0031] When the vehicle 100 is impacted from the front, the bumper assembly 300 is used to reduce the impact damage suffered by the vehicle 100 and to ensure as much as possible that the appearance of the housing 200 and the vehicle 100 is not damaged.

[0032] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is Figure 1 a schematic structural diagram of the connection between the bumper assembly and the mounting position in the vehicle as shown.

[0033] Specifically, the vehicle 100 further includes a mounting position 110, and the bumper assembly 300 is connected to the vehicle 100 through the mounting position 110.

[0034] The bumper assembly 300 includes a main bar body 310, a main bracket 320, and a sub-bracket 330. The main bracket 320 is connected to the main bar body 310, and the main bracket 320 is also used to connect to the mounting position 110 on the vehicle 100; the sub-bracket 330 passes through the housing 200 of the vehicle 100, and the sub-bracket 330 is used to connect and support the main bracket 320 and the main bar body 310.

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the main bar body 310 is located at the front and bottom of the housing 200; both the main bracket 320 and the mounting position 110 are located inside the housing 200, and the main bracket 320 is connected to the mounting position 110; the sub-bracket 330 passes through the housing 200 and connects the part of the main bar body 310 located at the front of the housing 200 and the main bracket 320, and the part of the main bar body 310 located at the bottom of the housing 200 is connected to the main bracket 320. The connections between the main bracket 320 and the sub-bracket 330, the vehicle 100, and the main bar body 310 can be fixed by welding or screwed, and screwed fixing is adopted in this embodiment.

[0036] Specifically, as Figure 3As shown, the main bar body 310 may include a first bar body 312 and a second bar body 314. The first bar body 312 is located at the front part of the housing 200 and is generally in a "U" shape, and its two ends are bent towards the bottom of the housing 200. The second bar body 314 is located at the bottom of the housing 200. There are two second bar bodies 314 which are columnar, and the second bar bodies 314 extend from the two ends of the first bar body 312.

[0037] Specifically, two first fixing positions 20 are provided on the first bar body 312, and each first fixing position 20 is used to connect to a sub-bracket 330; one second fixing position 313 is provided on each second bar body 314, and the second fixing position 313 is used to connect to the main bracket 320.

[0038] Further, the first bar body 312 includes a connecting rod 3122 and a fixing rod 3124. The fixing rods 3124 are connected to both ends of the connecting rod 3122. The connecting rod 3122 is straight, and the fixing rod 3124 is bent.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two first fixing positions 20 are separately arranged on the fixing rods 3124 and are located at the front part of the housing 200. This design can make the connection between the main bar body 310 and the sub-bracket 330 safer and more reliable. The second fixing position 313 is arranged on the second bar body 314, and the second fixing position 313 faces the inside of the housing 200, which can also make the overall structure of the protection bar assembly 300 more compact and avoid reserving a large amount of space in the housing 200 for installing the protection bar assembly 300.

[0040] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a connecting piece 315 is provided on each second bar body 314, and the connecting piece 315 faces the inside of the housing 200. The connecting piece 315 and the second bar body 314 can be fixed by screwing or welding. The second fixing position 313 is arranged on the connecting piece 315, and the second bar body 314 is connected to the main bracket 320 through the connecting piece 315.

[0041] The connecting piece 315 is a hollow box-shaped structure and can be deformed when being impacted. The setting of the connecting piece 315 reserves space between the main bracket 320 and the second bar body 314, and can provide a buffering effect for the main bracket 320 and the second bar body 314 when being impacted, reducing a part of the impact energy.

[0042] In other embodiments, the first fixing position 20 can be arranged on the connecting rod 3122 or at the connection between the connecting rod 3122 and the fixing rod 3124, and the second fixing position 313 can be directly arranged on the second bar body 314. The above structural designs can be specifically defined according to the actual situation.

[0043] The main bar body 310 is further provided with a front plate 316. The front plate 316 is an arc-shaped plate and fits to the front side of the transition area between the front part and the bottom of the housing 200, and is configured to further protect the housing 200 when being impacted. The front plate 316 is also provided with symmetric through holes 317 on the left and right, which can avoid the excessive weight of the front plate 316 from affecting the overall performance of the vehicle 100 and also beautify the appearance of the bumper assembly 300.

[0044] In this embodiment, the two ends of the front plate 316 are respectively connected to the two fixing rods 3124 of the first bar body 312, so that the connection between the front plate 316 and the main bar body 310 is firm and will not fall off due to a slight impact.

[0045] In other embodiments, one end of the front plate 316 can be connected to the first bar body 312, and the other end can be connected to the connecting member 315, or the front plate 316 can be only connected to the first bar body 312.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 which is Figure 2 a schematic structural view of the main bracket in the bumper assembly shown in the figure.

[0047] Specifically, the main bracket 320 has a first connection position 10, a second connection position 12, and a third connection position 14. The second connection position 12 is located between the first connection position 10 and the third connection position 14. The first connection position 10 is used to connect to the second fixing position 313, the second connection position 12 is used to connect to the installation position 110, and the third connection position 14 is used to connect to the sub-bracket 330. This is equivalent to that the main bar body 310 is directly or indirectly connected to both ends of the main bracket 320, and the vehicle 100 is connected to the middle of the main bracket 320. In this way, the force on the main bar body 310 is evenly distributed and it can be installed on the vehicle 100 more stably.

[0048] In this embodiment, the main bracket 320 includes a first support portion 322 and a second support portion 324 which are bent and connected. The first support portion 322 is parallel to the second bar body 314. The first bar body 312 is connected to the first support portion 322 through the main bracket 320, and the second bar body 314 is connected to the second support portion 324. In this way, the connection between the sub-bracket 330, the second bar body 314 and the vehicle 100 and the main bracket 320 does not interfere with each other, and the relative positions of the first support portion 322 and the second support portion 324 can be adjusted according to the actual installation situation. In this embodiment, the first support portion 322 and the second support portion 324 are perpendicularly connected. In other embodiments, the first support portion 322 and the second support portion 324 can be connected at other angles, such as 45°, 60° or 120°. The present application does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0049] Optionally, the first support portion 322 and the second support portion 324 can be plate bodies or rod bodies. In this embodiment, the first support portion 322 and the second support portion 324 are plate bodies.

[0050] Further, the first connection position 10 is located on the first support portion 322, and the second connection position 12 and the third connection position 14 are located on the second support portion 324. Specifically, the first connection position 10 is arranged at a position on the first support portion 322 away from the second support portion 324, the second connection position 12 is arranged at a position on the second support portion 324 close to the first support portion 322, and the third connection position 14 is arranged at a position on the second support portion 324 away from the first support portion 322. In the installed state, the first connection position 10 and the first fixing position 20 are on the same horizontal line. This enables the auxiliary bracket 330 to be connected to both the main bracket 320 and the main rod body 310 vertically. Thus, when the main rod body 310 is impacted, the auxiliary bracket 330 will not be easily bent due to torque, making the connection between the main rod body 310 and the vehicle 100 more secure.

[0051] In other embodiments, the first connection position 10 can also be located at a position on the first support portion 322 close to the second support portion 324, and the second connection position 12 can also be arranged at the place where the second support portion 324 is connected to the first support portion 322.

[0052] The second fixing position 313 has at least two fixing holes 402, the first connection position 10 has at least two first connection holes 102 corresponding to the fixing holes 402, and the second fixing position 313 and the first connection position 10 are connected by a fixing member 50 passing through the fixing holes 402 and the corresponding first connection holes 102; the installation position 110 has at least two installation holes 112, the second connection position 12 has at least two second connection holes 122 corresponding to the installation holes 112, and the installation position 110 and the second connection position 12 are connected by a fixing member 50 passing through the installation holes 112 and the corresponding second connection holes 122. The above two fixing members 50 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, the fixing holes 402, the first connection holes 102, the installation holes 112, and the second connection holes 122 are all two. In other embodiments, the fixing holes 402, the first connection holes 102, the installation holes 112, and the second connection holes 122 can be three or four.

[0053] In this embodiment, a screwing method is adopted for installation and fixation. Therefore, the fixing member 50 is a screw and a nut. The screws respectively pass through the two fixing holes 402 and the corresponding first connection holes 102, and the nut is sleeved on the screw and locked to closely adhere to the second fixing position 313 and the first connection position 10, tightly connecting the second lever body 314 and the main bracket 320; the screws respectively pass through the two mounting holes 112 and the corresponding second connection holes 122, and the nut is sleeved on the screw and locked to closely adhere to the second connection position 12 and the mounting position 110, tightly connecting the main bracket 320 and the vehicle 100.

[0054] In other embodiments, the second fixing position 313 may also have only one fixing hole 402, the first connection position 10 has at least one first connection hole 102 corresponding to the fixing hole 402, the mounting position 110 may also have only one mounting hole 112, the second connection position 12 has at least one second connection hole 122 corresponding to the mounting hole 112, and the fixing member 50 may also be a wire, a pin or a pressing plate, etc.

[0055] Continue to refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 which is Figure 2 a schematic structural view of the auxiliary bracket in the bumper assembly shown.

[0056] One end of the auxiliary bracket 330 is connected to the main bracket 320, and the other end is connected to the first lever body 312, for supporting the main bracket 320 and the first lever body 312.

[0057] In this embodiment, the auxiliary bracket 330 is a plate body. Specifically, the auxiliary bracket may include a connecting plate 30, and a first fitting plate 32 and a second fitting plate 34 connected to both ends of the connecting plate 30. The first fitting plate 32 is used to connect the main bracket 320, and the second fitting plate 34 is used to connect the main lever body 310. The first fitting plate 32 is arranged in a fitting manner with the second supporting portion 324, the second fitting plate 34 is arranged in a fitting manner with the main lever body 310, and the installation directions of the first fitting plate 32 and the second supporting portion 324 and the installation direction of the second fitting plate 34 and the first lever body 312 are perpendicular to each other.

[0058] Optionally, the auxiliary bracket 330 may be a plate body or a lever body.

[0059] In this embodiment, the auxiliary bracket 330 further has a first mating position 321 and a second mating position 341. The first mating position 321 is located on the first mating plate 32, and the second mating position 341 is located on the second mating plate 34. The first mating position 321 corresponds to and is connected to the third connection position 14, and the second mating position 341 corresponds to and is connected to the first fixing position 20. Connecting the first mating position 321 and the third connection position 14 with screws can fix and install the main bar body 310 and the auxiliary bracket 330, and connecting the second mating position 341 and the first fixing position 20 with screws can fix and install the auxiliary bracket 330 and the main bracket 320. In this way, the installation area between parts can be increased, making the installation more firm.

[0060] In other embodiments, the first mating position 321 and the second mating position 341 can be directly arranged on the connecting plate 30 and connected to the third connection position 14 and the first fixing position 20.

[0061] By providing a main bar body, a main bracket and an auxiliary bracket in the bumper assembly, the main bracket connects the main bar body and the installation position on the vehicle, and the auxiliary bracket passes through the vehicle's shell to connect the main bracket and the main bar body. Therefore, the main bar body can be connected to the vehicle through the main bracket and the auxiliary bracket, which can simplify the installation method of the bumper assembly and the vehicle, and also reduce the connection positions between the bumper assembly and the vehicle or the shell, so that the main bar body does not need to rely on multiple installation points to be connected to the vehicle, enabling the bumper assembly to be successfully installed and fixed on multiple different vehicle models. At the same time, the main bar body is connected to the main bracket and the auxiliary bracket simultaneously, which can also make the installation more firm and safer, and ultimately enable the bumper assembly to be safely and firmly adapted to more vehicle models.

[0062] The above are only the embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Moreover, the features in the above embodiments can be combined with each other.
