[0042] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application provide a front bumper middle device and a car to solve the problem in the related art of low structural strength and easy sinking of the bumper caused by using a sheet metal L-shaped bracket or an integral flat injection molded part screwed to the front end module.

[0044] See also Figures 1-11 A front bumper center device comprises: a front bumper center upper bracket 1, a front bumper center lower bracket 3, and a connector 4. The top of the front bumper center upper bracket 1 is connected to the front end module bracket 2. The front bumper center lower bracket 3 has two side surfaces. The side of the front bumper center lower bracket 3 closest to the front end module bracket 2 is connected to the bottom of the front bumper center upper bracket 1. The bottom of the front bumper center lower bracket 3 is provided with a connector 4 extending along the length of the vehicle. The connector 4 is configured to connect to the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. Since the connector 4 extends along the length of the vehicle, it is prevented from moving vertically in the vehicle after being connected to the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. The top of the front bumper center upper bracket 1 is connected to the front end module bracket 2 via flange bolts 18.

[0045] Through the above structural arrangement, since the front bumper middle device is divided into the front bumper middle upper bracket 1 and the front bumper middle lower bracket 3, the top of the front bumper middle upper bracket 1 is used to connect to the front end module bracket 2; the side of the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 close to the front end module bracket 2 is connected to the bottom of the front bumper middle upper bracket 1, and a plug-in component 4 is provided at the bottom, which is used to plug into the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. Thus, the installation point of the above structure connects the front end module bracket 2, the front bumper middle device and the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5 into a whole, forming a stable force transmission structure with high strength, and will not sink during later use, thereby ensuring the appearance quality. This avoids the problem of low structural strength and easy sinking of the bumper caused by the traditional structure of using a sheet metal L-shaped bracket or making a flat injection molded part screwed to the front end module.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, in order to make the front bumper middle device have a spoiler effect, reduce wind resistance, and ensure structural strength, the structure of the front bumper middle device is set as follows, which can be referred to Figure 2 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 , specifically:

[0047] The front bumper middle upper bracket 1 is provided with a first avoidance groove 7, and the number of the first avoidance grooves 7 is two and distributed in the vehicle width direction;

[0048] The front bumper middle lower bracket 3 is provided with a second avoidance groove 8 that communicates with the first avoidance groove 7. There are two second avoidance grooves 8, which are distributed in the vehicle width direction. The top of the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 on the side away from the front end module bracket 2 is higher than the top of the front bumper middle upper bracket 1.

[0049] The front bumper middle device further comprises a front bumper air duct 6, which is provided with a first avoidance groove 7 and a second avoidance groove 8; the cross-sectional area of the front bumper air duct 6 gradually decreases from bottom to top and is arranged at an inclination.

[0050] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the front bumper air duct 6 and to ensure a more stable and stronger overall structural connection between the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 and the front bumper middle upper bracket 1, the following configuration is implemented: The front bumper air duct 6 is provided with bracket connectors 9 on one side close to the front bumper middle upper bracket 1 and on the other side close to the front bumper middle lower bracket 3. The bracket connectors 9 have threaded holes for connection via self-tapping screws, thereby achieving connection between the front and rear mounting points.

[0051] Furthermore, the front bumper skin 10 is connected to the lower bracket 3 in the middle of the front bumper; the front bumper skin 10 has an air inlet groove, and its top is in contact with the bottom of the front bumper air duct 6, and the air inlet groove is connected to the front bumper air duct 6; thereby, the middle device of the front bumper has an air duct design and is used in conjunction with the structure of the front bumper air duct 6, so that the airflow is guided to the rear, which has a spoiler effect, reduces the wind resistance of the entire vehicle, and reduces fuel consumption.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, the front bumper center device further includes an upper decorative plate 11, and the top of the front bumper center lower bracket 3, away from the front end module bracket 2, is connected to the upper decorative plate 11. The upper decorative plate 11 is connected to the front bumper center upper bracket 1 by self-tapping screws.

[0053] In this embodiment, there is a situation where, when the upper decorative panel 11 is installed on the middle device of the front bumper of the automobile body, the installation position of the upper decorative panel cannot be determined during installation, resulting in that the subsequent gap difference with the hood cannot be guaranteed to be uniform, affecting the product effect.

[0054] Therefore, the following corresponding designs were made, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A visual scale line 12 is provided on the top of the front bumper's center lower bracket 3, away from the front module bracket 2. A square hole 13 is provided on the upper decorative panel 11, and its projection on the front bumper's center lower bracket 3 overlaps the visual scale line 12. A scale indicator pin 14 is provided on the inner edge of the square hole 13. The visual scale lines 12 are designed to be spaced 1mm apart. The initial design state is the longest point of the scale line, and the range of adjustment is 3mm. Figure 3 It is a bird's-eye view.

[0055] Therefore, by using the scale indicator needle 14, the visual scale line 12 can be pointed to provide the installation standard of the upper decorative panel 11, and the front and rear positions can be accurately adjusted to ensure that the gap surface difference between the upper decorative panel 11 of the front bumper and the hood is uniform, thereby ensuring uniform appearance gap surface difference.

[0056] In some preferred embodiments, in order to achieve the connection strength and installation accuracy of the above front bumper middle device, the following settings are provided:

[0057] The front bumper middle upper bracket 1 is connected to the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 by screws 15. The front bumper middle upper bracket 1 and the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 are also connected by multiple pre-installed clips 16. The use of pre-installed clips 16 ensures stable placement of the parts and limits their position in the vehicle width and height directions, eliminating the need for manual support and facilitating screw installation.

[0058] The structure of the pre-installed clip 16 is described in detail. Figure 7 and Figure 8 :

[0059] The front bumper middle upper bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of slots 17 along the width direction of the vehicle; the pre-installed clip 16 is fixedly connected to the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 and is provided corresponding to the slots 17;

[0060] The pre-installed clamping member 16 includes a pre-installed clamping foot 1600 and a limiting guide plate 1602; the pre-installed clamping foot 1600 is provided with a slotted connecting protrusion 1601;

[0061] There are two pre-installed pins 1600, which are spaced apart in the upper and lower directions. The outer surface of the pre-installed pins 1600 contacts the inner edge of the card slot 17 in the vehicle height direction; the limiting guide plate 1602 contacts the inner edge of the card slot 17 in the vehicle width direction.

[0062] In this structure, the pre-installed clamping foot 1600 limits the position in the vehicle height direction and acts as a hook through the slotted connection protrusion 1601; the limiting guide plate 1602 limits the position in the vehicle width direction.

[0063] Of course, the number of pre-installed clips 16 can be two, and they are located at both ends of the vehicle width direction of the lower bracket 3 in the middle of the front bumper, wherein the number of the limiting guide plate 1602 of the pre-installed clip 16 can be one, and the structure is as follows: Figure 8 As shown. The cross-section of the limiting guide plate 1602 is π-shaped. Of course, the number of pre-installed clips 16 can be three. That is, based on the above, a pre-installed clip 16 is added to the middle of the lower bracket 3 in the vehicle width direction of the front bumper. The number of limiting guide plates 1602 can be two.

[0064] Thus, the pre-clamping function of the pre-installed clamping foot 1600 and the positioning function of the limiting guide plate 1602 make the parts stable, without manual support, and convenient for workers to operate and screw. The above pre-installed clamping foot 1600 and the limiting guide plate 1602 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right.

[0065] In some preferred embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the connector 4 is a protrusion on the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 extending toward the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5 , and the cross-sectional area of the protrusion gradually decreases from the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 toward the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5 .

[0066] This application also discloses an automobile, comprising a front bumper center assembly comprising a front bumper center upper bracket 1, a front bumper center lower bracket 3, and a connector 4. The top of the front bumper center upper bracket 1 is connected to the front end module bracket 2. The front bumper center lower bracket 3 has two side surfaces, with the side of the front bumper center lower bracket 3 proximal to the front end module bracket 2 being connected to the bottom of the front bumper center upper bracket 1. Furthermore, the bottom of the front bumper center lower bracket 3 is provided with a connector 4 extending along the length of the vehicle. The connector 4 is configured to connect to a body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. Since the connector 4 extends along the length of the vehicle, it prevents vertical movement of the vehicle when connected to the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. The top of the front bumper center upper bracket 1 is connected to the front end module bracket 2 via flange bolts 18.

[0067] The front bumper middle device described above has the advantages that the bumper of a car equipped with the front bumper middle device is not easy to sink, has an air duct design, has a spoiler effect, reduces wind resistance and reduces fuel consumption.

[0068] In summary, this application has the following effects:

[0069] 1. The upper decorative plate 11 of the middle device of the front bumper has the function of accurate adjustment during the adjustment process, making the gap and surface difference of the front bumper of the automobile easy to control.

[0070] 2. The top of the front bumper middle upper bracket 1 is used to connect to the front end module bracket 2; the side of the front bumper middle lower bracket 3 close to the front end module bracket 2 is connected to the bottom of the front bumper middle upper bracket 1, and a connector 4 is provided at the bottom. The connector 4 is used to connect with the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. Therefore, the installation points of the above structure form a stable force transmission structure with high strength for the front end module bracket 2, the front bumper middle device and the body sheet metal bracket assembly 5. It has high strength and will not sink during later use, thereby ensuring the appearance quality.

[0071] 3. A first avoidance groove 7 is provided on the upper bracket 1 in the middle of the front bumper, and a second avoidance groove 8 connected to the first avoidance groove 7 is provided on the lower bracket 3 in the middle of the front bumper; the front bumper air duct 6 passes through the first avoidance groove 7 and the second avoidance groove 8; the cross-sectional area of the front bumper air duct 6 gradually decreases from bottom to top and is arranged at an angle, thereby forming an air duct structure, which guides the airflow to the rear, has a spoiler effect, reduces the wind resistance of the vehicle, and reduces fuel consumption.
