Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of fog light grilles, and more specifically to a fog light grille assembly. Background Technology

[0002] Fog lights generally refer to automotive fog lights. Automotive fog lights are installed at the front and rear of a vehicle to illuminate the road and provide safety warnings when driving in rainy or foggy weather; they improve visibility for the driver and other road users.

[0003] Car fog lights are surrounded by fog light grilles, most of which are clipped onto the car body. Existing fog light grilles are generally injection molded parts, which have insufficient overall structural strength and a short service life.

[0004] For example, an existing patent, 202120013658.1, discloses a novel automotive fog light grille component.

[0005] Meanwhile, the existing fog light grille lacks control over the air intake direction, which can easily cause excessive running resistance and is not conducive to reducing the loss of vehicle power.

[0006] Therefore, in order to solve or improve the above problems, it is necessary to optimize the design of the existing fog light grille. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fog light grille structure with high structural strength.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] A fog light grille assembly includes a fog light grille, the fog light grille including a decorative cover, the decorative cover having a plurality of air intake channels; the decorative cover including an outer air intake panel, the inner side of the outer air intake panel having an inner air intake panel.

[0010] Each of the air intake channels is arranged in parallel at intervals; each of the air intake channels is inclined.

[0011] Each of the air intake channels includes an outer plate channel disposed on the outer air intake plate and an inner plate channel disposed on the inner air intake plate, wherein the outer plate channel and the inner plate channel in each air intake channel are connected.

[0012] The inner and outer air intake panels are coated with different paint coatings; the outer panel channel and the inner panel channel in each air intake channel are partially overlapped.

[0013] A positioning mechanism is provided between the inner intake panel and the outer intake panel. The positioning mechanism includes a plug plate disposed on the outer intake panel and a plug slot disposed on the inner intake panel. The plug plate corresponds to the corresponding plug slot and is inserted into the corresponding plug slot.

[0014] The air intake decorative cover also includes a flow guiding mechanism, which includes a flow guiding plate on the outer air intake plate, with one flow guiding plate corresponding to each air intake channel.

[0015] The inner intake plate is provided with a support guide section, which includes a guide support plate disposed on the inner intake plate; each support guide section corresponds to a guide mechanism, and the guide support plate is arranged below the guide plate.

[0016] Each of the aforementioned flow guide support plates is provided with compression ribs.

[0017] The inner intake panel has a snap-fit ​​rib on the side near the outer intake panel.

[0018] The end of the snap-fit ​​rib is provided with a positioning rib; the positioning rib is adapted to the air intake channel.

[0019] The advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0020] This invention discloses a fog light grille assembly. Through the cooperation of inner and outer panels, this invention greatly ensures the structural strength of the fog light grille. Simultaneously, the fog light grille of this invention has multiple air intake channels, facilitating the guidance of airflow on the front side of the vehicle. By guiding the airflow at the front side during vehicle movement, air resistance is reduced. Furthermore, the inclined design of the air intake channels guides the airflow at the front of the vehicle, weakening the backflow of high-speed airflow after passing through the front compartment, reducing energy dissipation, and further reducing wind resistance. This reduces energy loss and lowers the overall vehicle drag. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the description of the preferred embodiments.

[0032] A fog light grille assembly includes a fog light grille 1-1, wherein the fog light grille 1-1 includes a decorative cover 1, and the decorative cover 1 is provided with a plurality of air intake channels 2; the decorative cover 1 includes an air intake outer plate 11, and an air intake inner plate 12 is provided on the inner side of the air intake outer plate 11; the present invention discloses a fog light grille assembly 101, which can greatly ensure the structural strength of the fog light grille 1-1 through the cooperation of the inner and outer plates; at the same time, the grille assembly is provided with air intake channels 2 in the present invention; the setting of the air intake channels 2 facilitates airflow through the fog light grille 1-1, which can reduce wind resistance at the front of the car and reduce power loss during vehicle operation.

[0033] Furthermore, in this invention, the various air intake channels 2 are arranged in parallel at intervals; in other words, by setting multiple air intake channels 2, the amount of air passing through the fog light grille 1-1 at the front of the car is increased. At the same time, each air intake channel 2 is required to be inclined. The inclined setting here is mainly to guide the gas and facilitate the control of the airflow direction. Specifically, in actual design, the air intake channel 2 is required to be set obliquely downwards, forming an acute angle with the X-axis direction of the car. This setting makes the gas flow through the fog light grille 1-1 essentially blown towards the ground. This airflow provides buoyancy to the car, which can reduce fuel consumption to a certain extent. Of course, this buoyancy will not affect normal operation or normal grip.

[0034] In addition, in this invention, by setting up an air intake channel, the airflow passes through the air intake channel. To a certain extent, the airflow velocity through the air intake channel is greater than the airflow velocity in the front compartment of the car. A negative pressure is formed in the air intake channel. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the air in the front compartment will accelerate, thereby speeding up the air circulation in the front compartment and cooling the components in the front compartment to a certain extent.

[0035] Furthermore, in this invention, each air intake channel 2 includes an outer plate channel 21 disposed on the outer air intake plate 11 and an inner plate channel 22 disposed on the inner air intake plate 12. The outer plate channel 21 and the inner plate channel 22 in each air intake channel 2 are connected. Through the above design, this invention facilitates the installation of the air intake channel 2 on the fog light grille 1-1. At the same time, this design facilitates the arrangement and placement of subsequent components such as the air guiding mechanism and the positioning mechanism 3. In actual installation, the dimensions of the outer plate channel and the inner plate channel are selected as needed. Generally, for ease of installation, the outer plate channel dimension can be larger than the inner plate channel dimension. This setting facilitates the snapping of the rib plate in the outer plate channel during subsequent use, reducing interference problems during installation.

[0036] Furthermore, in this invention, the inner intake panel 12 and the outer intake panel 11 are coated with different paint coatings; the outer panel channel 21 and the inner panel channel 22 in each intake channel 2 are partially overlapped; since the fog light grille 1-1 is essentially a decorative component, this invention, by coating the inner intake panel 12 and the outer intake panel 11 with different paint coatings, mainly in the topcoat, creates a contrasting color scheme, which can enhance the color matching of the front bumper assembly. After the bright color is adopted, a bright trim strip will be formed on the front bumper, which greatly improves the aesthetics of the front of the car. At the same time, since the color of the outer air intake panel 11 is generally required to be the same as the color of the front bumper during actual production, in order to highlight the bright color of the inner air intake panel 12, the outer panel channel 21 and the inner panel channel 22 in each of the air intake channels 2 are required to be partially overlapped. This arrangement allows the inner air intake panel 12 to be exposed during actual assembly without affecting the gas flow, so as to decorate the front bumper.

[0037] Meanwhile, the partially overlapping outer plate channel 21 and inner plate channel 22 facilitate the coordinated use of subsequent positioning mechanisms, flow guiding mechanisms, support flow guiding parts, and snap-fit ​​ribs.

[0038] In addition, as a further optimization, the inner air intake panel 12 and the outer air intake panel 11 are required to be detachable in this invention. This design makes it convenient to change the color of the fog light grille 1-1 by modifying the inner air intake panel 12 in subsequent use.

[0039] Furthermore, in this invention, a positioning mechanism 3 is provided between the inner intake panel 12 and the outer intake panel 11. The positioning mechanism 3 includes a plug-in plate 32 disposed on the outer intake panel 11 and a plug-in groove 31 disposed on the inner intake panel 12. The plug-in plate 32 corresponds to the corresponding plug-in groove 31, and the plug-in plate 32 is inserted into the corresponding plug-in groove 31. When this invention is used, the plug-in plate 32 is inserted into the corresponding plug-in groove 31, which plays a good role in positioning and limiting. It can not only realize the installation positioning of the outer intake panel 11 and the inner intake panel 12, but also play a good role in limiting, preventing the inner intake panel 12 from shaking relative to the outer intake panel 11. At the same time, in order to facilitate actual installation, it is required that both the plug-in groove 31 and the plug-in plate 32 are inclined, and the inclination direction is consistent with the inclination direction of the intake channel 2.

[0040] Meanwhile, the air intake decorative cover in this invention also includes a flow guiding mechanism, which includes a flow guiding plate 4 disposed on the outer air intake panel 11, with one flow guiding plate 4 corresponding to each air intake channel 2. The flow guiding plate 4 plays a good guiding role, facilitating the guidance of the air flowing in through the air intake channel 2 and making it easy to control the flow direction of the airflow. At the same time, the flow guiding plate 4 also acts as a connector, requiring the flow guiding plate 4 to pass through the inner panel channel 22 on the inner air intake panel 12 during subsequent installation. This arrangement ensures that the outer air intake panel 11 and the air intake... The inner plate 12 also has a plug-in limiting function. In addition, based on the full text of this invention, it can be seen that the air guiding mechanism and the positioning mechanism 3 disclosed in this invention have a mutual cooperation function. The air guiding mechanism can press against the inner wall of the air intake channel 2, while the plug-in plate 32 in the positioning mechanism 3 presses against the inner wall of the plug-in groove 31. The two mechanisms cooperate with each other to achieve stable placement of the air intake inner plate 12 inside the air intake outer plate 11. Even without adding other fixing parts, the fixed connection between the air intake inner plate 12 and the air intake outer plate 11 can be basically achieved.

[0041] In this invention, the positioning mechanism and the flow guiding mechanism have a cooperative limiting effect. In actual arrangement, the flow guiding plate, the plug plate and the plug groove are all inclined, so that the plug plate and the plug groove form a hook structure. This arrangement increases the difficulty of the inner intake plate detaching from the outer intake plate, thereby greatly ensuring the stability of the connection between the outer intake plate and the inner intake plate.

[0042] Furthermore, the air intake inner plate 12 in this invention is provided with a supporting guide portion. By setting the supporting guide portion, the air guide plate 4 can be longitudinally supported, which better ensures the position limitation of the air guide plate 4. Specifically, the supporting guide portion in this invention includes an air guide support plate 5 set on the air intake inner plate 12; each supporting guide portion corresponds to an air guide mechanism, and the air guide support plate 5 is arranged below the air guide plate 4; the basic function of the air guide support plate 5 is to provide support, which facilitates the support and limitation below the air guide plate 4, and another function is to provide calibration, which facilitates the position limitation of the air guide plate 4 and prevents the air guide plate 4 from bending.

[0043] Furthermore, in this invention, each of the flow guide support plates 5 is provided with extrusion ribs 6; the extrusion ribs 6 play a longitudinal support role, mainly to ensure the connection stability between the flow guide plate 4 and the flow guide support plate 5. In this invention, multiple extrusion ribs 6 are arranged at intervals on the flow guide support plate 5 to achieve local support between the flow guide support plate 5 and the flow guide plate 4, and to ensure that the two have greater extrusion stability.

[0044] In addition, in the actual design, each air guide support plate is equipped with three compression ribs. Two of the three compression ribs are located at the ends of the air guide support plate, and one is located in the middle of the air guide support plate. This arrangement makes the air guide support plate and the air guide plate equivalent to having three-point support. Because the compression ribs have a certain thickness, during actual assembly, the air guide support plate compresses the air guide plate through the compression ribs, causing the air guide plate to have an upward tendency. Meanwhile, the insertion plate and insertion slot of the positioning mechanism are inclined downward. The two interact with each other and play a good binding and fixing role, which can greatly ensure the connection stability between the outer air intake plate and the inner air intake plate.

[0045] Furthermore, in this invention, the inner intake plate 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​rib 7 on the side near the outer intake plate 11; the snap-fit ​​rib 7 is protruding on the inner intake plate 12, and can be directly snapped into the outer plate channel 21 of the outer intake plate 11 during subsequent use, so as to achieve the re-fixing and limiting of the inner intake plate 12 and the outer intake plate 11.

[0046] Meanwhile, in this invention, the end of the snap-fit ​​rib 7 is provided with a positioning rib 8; the positioning rib 8 is adapted to the air intake channel 2; the width of the positioning rib 8 is the same as the width of the air intake channel 2, and mainly the same as the width of the outer panel channel 21. During subsequent installation and use, the positioning rib 8 is required to be inserted into the outer panel channel 21, and the positioning rib 8 fills the outer panel channel 21, thereby realizing the installation positioning between the air intake outer panel 11 and the air intake inner panel 12; and avoiding the air intake inner panel 12 from deflecting during installation.

[0047] Meanwhile, in this invention, it is required that the exposed edges of both the inner and outer air intake panels be rounded. This design can reduce the air intake resistance of the fog light grille 1-1.

[0048] Furthermore, in this invention, the fog light grille assembly 101 includes two fog light grilles 1-1, which are symmetrically distributed. In this invention, the size of each fog light grille 1-1 near the front of the vehicle is smaller than the original size at the front end. Additionally, the fog light grilles 1-1 are tilted (primarily installed at the front bumper; this tilt is referenced to the vehicle's X-axis direction; specifically, they can be installed using existing fog light grilles 1-1). In actual design, the outer and inner air intake panels have a certain curvature. Based on the above design, not only can the normal air intake of the fog light grilles 1-1 be guaranteed, but it also plays a good guiding role, reducing the overall vehicle's wind resistance.

[0049] Obviously, the specific implementation of this invention is not limited to the above-described methods. Any non-substantial improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of this invention are within the protection scope of this invention.
