Benefits of technology

[0020]By incorporating a positioning structure, one end of the positioning seat abuts against the mounting base, causing the positioning block to move into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​block is compressed, causing the positioning block to deform inward. The inner wall of the positioning block is designed to be inclined, allowing the positioning block to push the abutment block towards the positioning seat. When the snap-fit ​​block and the mounting base are fixed together through the snap-fit ​​groove, the abutment block will move away from the positioning seat under the elastic force of the compression spring. The limiting effect of the abutment block prevents the positioning block from deforming, thereby preventing the snap-fit ​​block from falling off. When the connecting base shakes, the snap-fit ​​block will move into the inside of the mounting base and further snap against the mounting base, making the connection between the connecting base and the mounting base more secure. The positioning effect of the positioning block facilitates the quick installation of the connecting bolts, thereby improving the ease of installation of this active air intake grille.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to an active air intake grille. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous progress of society, the auto parts industry has developed rapidly. The active grille is part of the vehicle preheating management system. It is located at the front of the vehicle and is integrated with the grille on the front bumper, which acts as a regulator for the vehicle's engine temperature.

[0003] To address this, patent CN115091942A discloses an active air intake grille, comprising: a frame fixedly connected to a vehicle body, the frame having several spaced-apart first grilles, adjacent first grilles forming a first air intake; a guide plate slidably connected to the frame under the action of an adjusting component, the guide plate having several spaced-apart second grilles, adjacent second grilles forming a second air intake; the adjusting component includes a temperature-sensing elastic element, when the ambient temperature is below a first threshold, the temperature-sensing elastic element drives the guide plate to slide to a first position, the second grilles block the first air intake, and the active air intake grille is in a closed state; when the ambient temperature is above a second threshold, the temperature-sensing elastic element drives the guide plate to slide to a second position, the second air intake is opposite to the first air intake, and the active air intake grille is in an open state. Using the active air intake grille of this application, no power drive is required, and the active air intake grille can be opened and closed autonomously.

[0004] The active air intake grille mentioned above is inconvenient to limit the position of the connecting seat during the installation process. Because the connecting seat is relatively large, the workers cannot find the installation reference point, making the assembly process extremely difficult, the work efficiency is relatively low, and the consistency after assembly is poor, especially the gap and surface difference, resulting in a low pass rate and long time. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an active air intake grille to solve the problem that existing active air intake grilles are inconvenient to limit the position of the connecting seat during installation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an active air intake grille, including a grille frame and a connecting seat;

[0007] A connecting seat is installed at one end of the grid frame, and reinforcing ribs are evenly fixed on the outer walls on both sides of the grid frame. A controller is installed in the middle position on the side of the grid frame near the connecting seat, and grid plates are evenly installed on both sides of the controller inside the grid frame.

[0008] The top and bottom outer walls of the connector are uniformly fixed with fixing structures;

[0009] Positioning structures are fixed on the outer walls of both ends of the connecting seat. The positioning structure includes a positioning seat, a limiting bolt, a limiting block, a snap-fit ​​block, a positioning block, a connecting bolt, a compression spring, and a contact block. The positioning seat is fixed on the outer walls of both ends of the connecting seat. A connecting bolt passes through the middle position of the positioning seat at the end away from the connecting seat. A limiting bolt is provided on one side of the connecting bolt inside the positioning seat. Positioning blocks are evenly fixed on the outer wall of the positioning seat outside the limiting bolt. A limiting block is fixed on the outer wall of the positioning seat on one side of the positioning block. A snap-fit ​​block is evenly fixed on the outer wall of the positioning block. A compression spring is provided on the inner side of the positioning block at one end of the limiting bolt. A contact block is provided on the end of the compression spring away from the positioning seat.

[0010] Preferably, a reserved slot is provided on one side of the internal controller of the connecting seat, and an air exchange slot is provided on one side of the internal grid plate of the connecting seat.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing structure includes a fixing seat, connecting holes, and fixing bolts. The fixing seat is evenly fixed on the outer wall of the top and bottom of the connecting seat. A connecting hole is provided at the middle position of the fixing seat at the end away from the connecting seat. A fixing bolt passes through the interior of each connecting hole.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing base is cylindrical in shape, and a fixing groove is formed inside the fixing base near the connecting base.

[0013] Preferably, the positioning seat and the fixed seat have the same shape, and the limiting bolt and the positioning seat are designed to be threaded together.

[0014] Preferably, the limiting blocks are evenly distributed on the outside of the limiting bolt, and one end of the limiting block abuts against the outer wall of the positioning block.

[0015] Preferably, the side view of the snap-fit ​​block is triangular, and the snap-fit ​​blocks are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the positioning block.

[0016] Preferably, the inner wall of the positioning block is inclined, and the end of the positioning block away from the positioning seat is chamfered.

[0017] Preferably, the end of the abutment block near the positioning seat extends to the inside of the compression spring, and the end of the abutment block away from the positioning seat is spherically shaped.

[0018] Preferably, the end of the abutment block away from the positioning seat abuts against the inner sidewall of the positioning block, and the abutment block and the limiting bolt form a telescopic structure through a compression spring.

[0019] The active air intake grille provided by this invention has the following advantages:

[0020] By incorporating a positioning structure, one end of the positioning seat abuts against the mounting base, causing the positioning block to move into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​block is compressed, causing the positioning block to deform inward. The inner wall of the positioning block is designed to be inclined, allowing the positioning block to push the abutment block towards the positioning seat. When the snap-fit ​​block and the mounting base are fixed together through the snap-fit ​​groove, the abutment block will move away from the positioning seat under the elastic force of the compression spring. The limiting effect of the abutment block prevents the positioning block from deforming, thereby preventing the snap-fit ​​block from falling off. When the connecting base shakes, the snap-fit ​​block will move into the inside of the mounting base and further snap against the mounting base, making the connection between the connecting base and the mounting base more secure. The positioning effect of the positioning block facilitates the quick installation of the connecting bolts, thereby improving the ease of installation of this active air intake grille.

[0021] With a fixed structure, the connecting seat is fixedly connected to the mounting seat via the positioning seat. The fixing bolt is then passed through the connecting hole, and the fixing bolt is connected to the mounting seat via threads, thereby fixing the seat to the mounting seat and further enhancing the stability of the active air intake grille during use.

A controller 6 is installed in the middle position of the side of the grid frame 1 near the connecting seat 2. Grid plates 5 are evenly installed on both sides of the controller 6 inside the grid frame 1. A reserved groove is provided on one side of the controller 6 inside the connecting seat 2. An air exchange groove is provided on one side of the grid plate 5 inside the connecting seat 2. Fixing structures 3 are evenly fixed on the outer walls of the top and bottom of the connecting seat 2. The fixing structure 3 includes a fixing seat 301, a connecting hole 302, and a fixing bolt 303. The fixing seat 301 is evenly fixed on the outer walls of the top and bottom of the connecting seat 2. A connecting hole 302 is provided in the middle position of the fixing seat 301 away from the connecting seat 2. A fixing bolt 303 passes through the interior of the connecting hole 302. The fixing seat 301 is cylindrical in design. A fixing groove is opened in the interior of the fixing seat 301 near the connecting seat 2.

[0034] After the connecting seat 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat via the positioning seat 401, the fixing bolt 303 is passed through the connecting hole 302, so that the fixing bolt 303 is connected to the mounting seat via threads, thereby fixing the fixing seat 301 to the mounting seat, which further enhances the stability of the active air intake grille during use.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, positioning structures 4 are fixed on the outer walls of both ends of the connecting seat 2. The positioning structure 4 includes a positioning seat 401, a limiting bolt 402, a limiting block 403, a snap-fit ​​block 404, a positioning block 405, a connecting bolt 406, a compression spring 407, and an abutment block 408. The positioning seat 401 is fixed to the outer walls of both ends of the connecting seat 2. A connecting bolt 406 passes through the middle position of the positioning seat 401 at the end away from the connecting seat 2. A limiting bolt 402 is provided on one side of the connecting bolt 406 inside the positioning seat 401. Positioning blocks 405 are evenly fixed on the outer wall of the positioning seat 401 outside the limiting bolt 402. A limiting block 403 is fixed on one side of the outer wall of the positioning seat 401 on the positioning block 405. A snap-fit ​​block 404 is evenly fixed on the outer wall of the positioning block 405. A compression spring 407 is provided on the inner side of the positioning block 405 at one end of the limiting bolt 402. The compression spring 407 is located away from the positioning seat 401. Each end of the positioning block 401 is provided with an abutment block 408. The positioning seat 401 and the fixing seat 301 have the same shape. The limiting bolt 402 and the positioning seat 401 are threadedly connected. The limiting blocks 403 are evenly distributed on the outside of the limiting bolt 402. One end of the limiting block 403 abuts against the outer wall of the positioning block 405. The side view of the snap-fit ​​block 404 is triangular. The snap-fit ​​blocks 404 are evenly distributed on the outer wall of the positioning block 405. The inner wall of 5 is inclined. The end of the positioning block 405 away from the positioning seat 401 is chamfered. The end of the abutment block 408 near the positioning seat 401 extends to the inner side of the compression spring 407. The end of the abutment block 408 away from the positioning seat 401 is spherical. The end of the abutment block 408 away from the positioning seat 401 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning block 405. The abutment block 408 and the limiting bolt 402 form a telescopic structure through the compression spring 407.

[0036] When one end of the positioning seat 401 abuts against the mounting seat, the positioning block 405 moves into the inside of the snap-fit ​​groove. The snap-fit ​​block 404 is squeezed, causing the positioning block 405 to deform inward. The inner sidewall of the positioning block 405 is designed to be inclined, so that the positioning block 405 pushes the abutment block 408 towards the positioning seat 401. When the snap-fit ​​block 404 and the mounting seat are fixed to each other through the snap-fit ​​groove, the abutment block 408 will move away from the positioning seat 401 under the elastic force of the compression spring 407. Under the limiting effect of the abutment block 408, the positioning block 405 is prevented from deforming, thereby preventing the snap-fit ​​block 404 from falling off. When the connecting seat 2 shakes, the snap-fit ​​block 404 will move into the inside of the mounting seat and further snap with the mounting seat, making the connection between the connecting seat 2 and the mounting seat more secure. Under the positioning effect of the positioning block 405, the connecting bolt 406 can be quickly installed.
