[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Nowadays, with the increasing demand for electric and intelligent vehicles and avant-garde styling, car bumpers are equipped with more and more components. These components often include air ducts, continuous lights, combination lights, active air intake grilles, cameras, intelligent driving assistance radars, wiring harnesses, and more. This makes car bumpers increasingly heavy, which can cause them to sag during normal driving. This can result in the bumpers affecting the car's appearance and the normal functioning of multiple automotive components such as radars and cameras.

[0032] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a front crossbeam assembly 100, which can be applied in the field of automotive technology. Please refer to... Figures 1-3 , Figure 1 This is an exploded structural diagram of the front crossbeam assembly 100 and the vehicle body 210 during assembly, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the front crossbeam assembly 100 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part A of the front crossbeam assembly 100.

[0033] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the front crossbeam assembly 100 includes a front bumper 110 and a support member 120. The support member 120 is disposed on the side of the front bumper 110 near the vehicle body 210, and the side of the support member 120 facing the front bumper 110 is provided with at least three support structures for supporting the front bumper 110. The at least three support structures are arranged at intervals and are all connected to the front bumper 110 to achieve the purpose of supporting the front bumper 110. In the length direction of the front bumper 110, at least two support structures are located on different axes.

[0034] It is understood that, in this embodiment of the application, at least three support structures can be provided on the side of the carrier 120 facing the front bumper 110 to support the car bumper, thereby preventing the car bumper from sagging during normal driving, ensuring the appearance of the car, and ensuring the normal use of multiple car components such as radar and cameras, thus improving the driving stability of the vehicle.

[0035] Meanwhile, since at least three support structures are spaced apart, the support points for supporting the front bumper 110 (i.e., the at least three support structures) are distributed to further ensure a more uniform support effect for the front bumper 110, preventing local sagging of the front bumper 110. Furthermore, since at least two support structures are located on different axes, the support points for supporting the front bumper 110 (i.e., the at least three support structures) are not placed on the same horizontal line. This further distributes the support points, achieving a more stable support effect for the front bumper 110, thereby further ensuring the stability and safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0036] It should be noted that the actual number of at least three support structures is not limited in this embodiment, and can be adjusted according to the weight and volume of the front bumper 110; meanwhile, in other embodiments of this application, at least three support structures can be as follows: Figure 3 The first support structure 121, the second support structure 122, and the third support structure 123 are shown.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, along the length of the front bumper 110, the second support structure 122 can be connected to the center of the front bumper 110, thereby providing better support for the center of the front bumper 110; please continue reading... Figure 3 In this embodiment, the first support structure 121 and the third support structure 123 can be located on both sides of the second support structure 122, and both the first support structure 121 and the third support structure 123 are set higher than the second support structure 122. This allows the first support structure 121, the second support structure 122, and the third support structure 123 to form a triangular structure, thereby achieving a more stable support effect for the front bumper 110. This further prevents the car bumper from sagging during normal driving, ensuring the appearance of the car and the normal use of multiple car components such as radar and cameras, thus improving the driving stability of the vehicle.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 and combined Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly structure of the front bumper 110 and the load-bearing component 120 in the front crossbeam assembly 100 provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the front bumper 110 may include a first frame 111 and a second frame 112. The first frame 111 and the second frame 112 are disposed on the side of the front bumper 110 facing the carrier 120, and are respectively disposed corresponding to the first support structure 121 and the third support structure 123.

[0040] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the above embodiments, both the first support structure 121 and the third support structure 123 can be hollow columnar structures. The first support structure 121 has a first mounting port 1211 on the side facing the front bumper 110, and the third support structure 123 has a second mounting port 1231 on the side facing the front bumper 110. The first frame 111 passes through the first mounting port 1211 and is located in the hollow area of ​​the first support structure 121, and the second frame 112 passes through the second mounting port 1231 and is located in the hollow area of ​​the third support structure 123, so as to realize the connection between the carrier 120 and the front bumper 110, and to realize the purpose of supporting the front bumper 110 through the carrier 120.

[0041] Meanwhile, it is understood that since the first frame 111 passes through the first mounting port 1211 and is located in the hollow area of ​​the first support structure 121, and the second frame 112 passes through the second mounting port 1231 and is located in the hollow area of ​​the third support structure 123, the inner wall of the first support structure 121 can limit the first frame 111 in the direction of gravity, and the inner wall of the third support structure 123 can limit the second frame 112 in the direction of gravity, so as to achieve the purpose of providing all-round support for the front bumper 110, thereby avoiding the situation where the front bumper 110 becomes loose or even collapses during the bumpy driving of the car.

[0042] Please continue reading Figure 4 In the above embodiments, the inner wall of the first support structure 121 can be inclined relative to the first frame 111, thereby achieving the purpose of guiding the installation of the first frame 111; and / or the inner wall of the third support structure 123 can be inclined relative to the second frame 112, thereby achieving the purpose of guiding the installation of the second frame 112. Further, as... Figure 4 As shown, the inner wall of the first support structure 121 can also be inclined in a direction away from the first frame 111, thereby preventing the first frame 111 from falling out of the first support structure 121; and / or the inner wall of the third support structure 123 can also be inclined in a direction away from the second frame 112, thereby preventing the second frame 112 from falling out of the third support structure 123.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the front crossbeam assembly 100 may further include a front bumper beam 130 and a hood lock bracket 140. The front bumper beam 130 is located between the load-bearing member 120 and the front bumper 110. One end of the hood lock bracket 140 is connected to the load-bearing member 120, and the other end is connected to the front bumper beam 130. The second support structure 122 is fixedly connected to the side of the hood lock bracket 140 facing the front bumper 110, thereby achieving the connection purpose between the second support structure 122 and the support member.

[0044] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second support structure 122 may include an integrally formed first connecting portion 1221 and a first bending portion 1222. The first connecting portion 1221 is fixedly connected to the hood lock bracket 140, and the first bending portion 1222 extends in a direction away from the hood lock bracket 140 and is connected to the front bumper 110. Thus, the first bending portion 1222 provides support for the center position of the front bumper 110. At the same time, the first bending portion 1222 is also provided with a weight reduction hole 1223. Thus, while ensuring its own rigidity and support effect for the center position of the front bumper 110, the cost of manufacturing the front crossbeam assembly 100 is further reduced, and the overall weight of the front crossbeam assembly 100 is reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the vehicle body 210.

[0045] At the same time, such as Figure 3 As shown, in the above embodiment, the hood lock bracket 140 may include a second connecting portion 141 and two second bending portions 142. The second connecting portion 141 and the two second bending portions 142 are integrally formed and are Y-shaped. The second connecting portion 141 is fixedly connected to the front anti-collision beam 130. The two second bending portions 142 are bent in a direction away from the bearing member 120, and the ends of the two second bending portions 142 away from the second connecting portion 141 are connected to the bearing member 120, thereby achieving the purpose of fixing the hood lock bracket 140.

[0046] Nowadays, pedestrian collision regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, so it is necessary to weaken the frame structure of the front bumper 110 and appropriately weaken the front structure, or reserve sufficient collision avoidance space. Therefore, in this embodiment, the two second bending portions 142 are bent in the direction away from the bearing member 120 to form an avoidance space. By opening weight reduction holes 1223 on the first bending portion 1222, the hood lock bracket 140 and the second support structure 122 are both formed with hollow structures. This makes the hood lock bracket 140 and the second support structure 122 with hollow structures easier to collapse and deform in low-speed collisions, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting pedestrians.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support member 120 has a frame structure and may include a first support frame 124 and two second support frames 125. The first support frame 124 is arranged along the length direction of the front bumper 110, and the two second support frames 125 are arranged at both ends of the first support frame 124 and are fixedly connected to the first support frame 124. Compared with the full frame structure in the prior art, it can further save space and cost. At the same time, the two second support frames 125 overlap with the first headlight 220A and the second headlight 220B located on both sides of the vehicle body 210, thereby further saving the overall space and volume of the car and making the internal structure of the car more compact.

[0048] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the above embodiments, each second support frame 125 may include a first side portion 1251 and a second side portion 1252. The first side portion 1251 and the second side portion 1252 may be arranged adjacent to each other, and both the first side portion 1251 and the second side portion 1252 are provided with clearance grooves (the first side portion 1251 is provided with a first clearance groove 1253, and the second side portion 1252 is provided with a second clearance groove 1254) to form clearance space, thereby providing a collapsible space for the first vehicle light 220A and the second vehicle light 220B to achieve the purpose of protecting pedestrians.

[0049] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, in the above embodiment, the top of the first support frame 124 may be provided with a plurality of hollow support portions 1241. The plurality of support portions 1241 are spaced apart and all protrude from the top of the first support frame 124, so that the support portions 1241 with hollow structure are more likely to collapse and deform during low-speed collision, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting and protecting the pedestrian's head.

[0050] It should be noted that the fixed connection method in the embodiments of this application can be one of a variety of fixed connection methods such as integral molding or welding, and the detachable connection method in the embodiments of this application can be one of a variety of detachable connection methods such as screw connection or magnetic connection.

[0051] This application also provides a motorized device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a vehicle body 210, a first headlight 220A, a second headlight 220B, and a front crossbeam assembly 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The first headlight 220A and the second headlight 220B are respectively disposed on both sides of the vehicle body 210, and the front crossbeam assembly 100 is detachably connected to the vehicle body 210. It is understood that the motorized equipment provided in this embodiment can be a motor vehicle such as a pickup truck or automobile, or a motorized vessel such as a ship or yacht; that is, any device that includes the aforementioned front crossbeam assembly 100 can be included within the scope of protection of this application.
