Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive exterior modules, and in particular to a vehicle radar probe bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] As various electronic components are gradually added to the exterior of automobiles, the distribution space of these components becomes very limited. In order to meet the requirements of styling, layout and sensory quality, when the front bumper and sensor bracket cannot be reliably fastened, the traditional solution is to add screws to improve stability. However, adding fasteners also increases the assembly process, manufacturing costs and maintenance costs.

[0003] Chinese patent (publication number CN210191414U) discloses an installation structure for an automotive radar bracket. The radar bracket is fixed to the grille body through three snap-fit ​​points, which limits the radar bracket in the X, Y, and Z axes, eliminating the need for additional fasteners and reducing the problem of detachment. However, it needs to be installed from the inside of the grille body, which is inconvenient to operate when disassembling or repairing after initial assembly. Furthermore, the method of installation from the inside makes it easy to detach when subjected to external impact. The radar sensor in the lower air intake grille is installed in the recessed part of the mesh structure, with a raised structure on one side. When the radar bracket is installed on the outside front, although it can improve the stability in the event of a collision, the buckle of the radar bracket is inconvenient to snap into place near the raised structure, and it is also inconvenient to remove it after it is snapped in. When the radar sensor is installed from the inside to the outside onto the radar bracket, there is still a problem that the radar bracket can be pushed outwards, causing it to fall off the grille. In addition, its locking points are distributed at the top and bottom, but there is no dedicated limiting structure on the side, which leads to horizontal loosening. In the long term of vehicle use, the radar bracket may fall off or fail. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a vehicle radar sensor bracket and automobile. It utilizes limiting plates, elastic clamps, and buckles to establish a connection with the lower air intake grille. The bracket is positioned and limited from the four sides of the base plate. The limiting plates abut against the insertion holes under the protruding structures on one side of the lower air intake grille's mesh structure, replacing the protruding structure's snap-fit ​​action with an oblique rotating motion. The elastic clamps engage with the external lower air intake grille to form a locking and fixing mechanism, improving the stability of the vehicle radar sensor bracket. Furthermore, it allows for connection from the outside of the lower air intake grille, facilitating replacement and maintenance.

[0005] The first objective of this invention is to provide a vehicle radar probe bracket, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The device includes a base plate and fasteners. The base plate has a probe carrier. The fasteners include a limiting piece, a first buckle, an elastic plate, and a second buckle that are spaced apart around the base plate. The limiting piece protrudes from the surface of the base plate and forms a recess for rotating and abutting against an external insertion hole. The elastic plate is located at one end of the base plate away from the limiting piece and has a hook for hooking the external lower air intake grille. The first buckle and the second buckle are opposite each other and located between the elastic plate and the limiting piece. The first buckle and the second buckle each have a snap-fit ​​part for hooking the external lower air intake grille.

[0007] Furthermore, in the direction of the substrate near the outer lower air intake grille, one end of the elastic plate is connected to the substrate, and the other end extends away from the surface of the substrate; the hook is located on the side of the elastic plate facing the limiting piece and protrudes from the surface of the elastic plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the hook is located between the two ends of the elastic plate, with the end of the elastic plate away from the base plate being the free end, which is used to receive external force to drive the hook to move relative to the lower air intake grille.

[0009] Furthermore, the portion of the limiting piece protruding from the substrate surface is bent and extends outside the substrate to form a limiting portion, and a recess is formed between the limiting piece and the substrate surface, the recess being able to abut against the edge of the external insertion hole.

[0010] Furthermore, in the direction of the substrate near the outer lower air intake grille, one end of the first buckle and the second buckle are respectively connected to the substrate, and the other end extends away from the substrate surface. The latching part is located on the side of the first buckle and the second buckle away from the substrate, and the latching part protrudes from the surface of the corresponding first buckle or second buckle.

[0011] Furthermore, in the direction of the substrate near the outer lower air intake grille, the width of the first and second latches gradually decreases, so that the sides of the first and second latches form inclined surfaces as guide structures.

[0012] Furthermore, the side of the first and second latches opposite to the latching portion is a pressing surface, used to receive the elastic pressure of the pressure tongue on the external lower air intake grille.

[0013] Furthermore, the probe carrier is located between the limiting plate and the elastic plate, and between the first buckle and the second buckle.

[0014] A second object of the present invention is to provide an automobile that utilizes the vehicle radar probe bracket as described in the first object.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a lower air intake grille, which has an insertion hole, a snap-fit ​​hole and a hook hole. A limiting piece passes through the insertion hole and the recess abuts against the edge of the insertion hole. The first buckle and the second buckle pass through the corresponding snap-fit ​​hole and the snap-fit ​​part abuts against the edge of the snap-fit ​​hole. The elastic plate passes through the hook hole and the hook part abuts against the edge of the hook hole.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this invention are:

[0017] (1) In view of the current problems of poor stability and inconvenience of maintenance of radar bracket, limit plates, elastic plates and buckles are used to establish the connection with the lower air intake grille. The limit plates are respectively matched from the four sides of the base plate to improve the stability of the vehicle radar probe bracket and can establish the connection from the outside of the lower air intake grille, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance operations.

[0018] (2) The limiting piece, the first buckle, the elastic plate and the second buckle protrude from the surface of the base plate and cooperate with the corresponding hole structure on the lower air intake grille. At the same time, the recess of the limiting piece can rotate to abut against the external insertion hole, so that the vehicle radar probe bracket can be rotated from the front to the lower air intake grille of the front bumper, effectively preventing the problem of insufficient clamping force of the back-mounted radar probe bracket, thereby reducing the failure of the vehicle radar probe bracket to fall off during use.

[0019] (3) The limiting piece abuts against the insertion hole under the protruding structure on one side of the lower air intake grille mesh structure by insertion. The oblique and rotating action replaces the insertion action of the protruding structure. The elastic plate is used to lock the external lower air intake grille to form a locking and fixing. When the radar probe is pushed from the inside to the outside for installation, the direction of the radar probe's thrust on the radar bracket is inconsistent with the direction of the limiting piece releasing the limit. Therefore, the position of the limiting piece can maintain the state of locking the protruding structure of the lower air intake grille, thereby maintaining the position of the radar bracket in the lower air intake grille and preventing it from falling off after being subjected to internal force.

[0020] (4) The radar bracket is installed on the lower air intake grille from the outside, which can resist collisions from the outside. The locking and pressing direction of the buckle and the elastic plate is consistent with the collision direction from the outside, so that the radar bracket can be stably connected to the lower air intake grille when subjected to external collisions. The limiting piece and the insertion hole are used to rotate and lock the limiting position, so that the radar bracket can still be stably installed on the lower air intake grille when installing the radar probe, thus improving the stability of the radar bracket.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Example 1

[0030] In a typical embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a vehicle radar probe bracket is proposed.

[0031] Traditional radar brackets suffer from poor stability after installation, making them prone to detachment and failure during later use. Furthermore, retrofitted radar brackets are inconvenient to replace and repair. Therefore, this embodiment provides a vehicle radar probe bracket with limiting pieces 1, elastic clamping plates 6, and buckles distributed circumferentially along the base plate 18. It is installed using a front-mounted method, engaging the lower air intake grille 15 from all four sides, improving the convenience of installation, replacement, and repair, and enhancing post-installation stability while reducing shaking.

[0032] In automotive radar systems, the stability of the radar probe bracket is crucial for ensuring the accurate operation of the radar probe. At the same time, considering the ease of vehicle maintenance and repair, the bracket's disassembly and installation processes also need to be simple and easy. Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the vehicle radar probe bracket provided in this embodiment includes a base plate 18 and fasteners. The fasteners are connected to the base plate 18. The base plate 18 serves as a basic support structure and a connecting structure. A probe carrier 11 is also provided on the base plate 18 for mounting the radar probe. The base plate 18 is mounted to the outer lower air intake grille 15 through the fasteners, thereby mounting the radar probe that mates with the probe carrier 11 to the outer lower air intake grille 15, achieving stable installation of the radar probe.

[0033] Specifically, in order to connect the base plate 18 and the lower air intake grille 15, the fastener is connected to the external lower air intake grille 15 at multiple positions. The fastener includes a limiting piece 1, a first buckle 2, an elastic buckle 6 and a second buckle 4 that are spaced apart around the base plate 18 in a circumferential direction, which work together to achieve a stable connection with the lower air intake grille 15.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the portion of the limiting piece 1 that protrudes from the surface of the substrate 18 is bent and extends outside the substrate 18 to form a limiting portion. A recess is formed between the limiting piece 1 and the surface of the substrate 18, and the recess can abut against the edge 10 of the external insertion hole 7.

[0035] The limiting piece 1 protrudes from the surface of the substrate 18 and forms a recess for rotating and abutting the external insertion hole 7. After the limiting piece 1 is inserted into the external insertion hole 7, the limiting part passes through the external insertion hole 7. At this time, the recess can abut against the edge 10 of the insertion hole 7, so that the entire substrate 18 can rotate around this abutting position under the action of external force, changing the position of the substrate 18 and its first buckle 2, second buckle 4, and elastic plate 6 relative to the external lower air intake grille 15, providing positioning and limiting functions.

[0036] The limiting piece 1 is a rotating abutment structure, while the external insertion hole 7 is located on one side of the protruding structure 19 of the lower air intake grille 15, such as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, during installation, the limiting piece 1 is inserted into the external socket 7 in an oblique manner, thereby avoiding interference with the protruding structure 19, and utilizing the stability of the protruding structure 19 to improve the strength of the connection between the limiting piece 1 and the external socket 7.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle radar probe bracket is installed in the following manner. The limiting piece 1 is located at one end of the base plate 18, and the elastic plate 6 is located at the end of the base plate 18 away from the limiting piece 1. The limiting piece 1 and the elastic plate 6 are distributed at intervals in the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the elastic plate 6 is provided with a hook for hooking the external lower air intake grille 15.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in the direction of the substrate 18 near the outer lower air intake grille 15, one end of the elastic plate 6 is connected to the substrate 18, and the other end extends away from the surface of the substrate 18. The connection position between the elastic plate 6 and the substrate 18 can produce elastic deformation. During installation, the hook is formed after passing over the lower air intake grille 15. During disassembly, the hook is released after passing over the lower air intake grille 15.

[0039] The hook is located on the side of the elastic plate 6 facing the limiting piece 1 and protrudes from the surface of the elastic plate 6. The hook is located between the two ends of the elastic plate 6 and can form a hooking action. The end of the elastic plate 6 away from the base plate 18 is a free end, which is used to receive external force to drive the hook to move relative to the lower air intake grille 15.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the hook is an approximately triangular protrusion, with two hooks spaced apart on the elastic plate 6, namely the first hook 16 and the second hook 17. The hook is located in the middle position between the two ends of the elastic plate 6, ensuring its stability when in the hooked state. During the process of establishing the hooked state, the inclined surface of the approximately triangular protrusion can provide a guiding effect. The free end of the elastic plate 6 can accept external force, causing the hook to move towards the hooking position of the lower air intake grille 15, thereby facilitating installation and removal.

[0041] In the direction of the substrate 18 near the outer lower air intake grille 15, one end of the first latch 2 and the second latch 4 are respectively connected to the substrate 18, and the other end extends away from the surface of the substrate 18. The latching part 13 is located on the side of the first latch 2 and the second latch 4 away from the substrate 18, and the latching part 13 protrudes from the surface of the corresponding first latch 2 or second latch 4.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the first latch 2 and the second latch 4 are distributed vertically at intervals. Traditional methods of limiting movement only in one or a few directions may be insufficient to ensure the stability of the bracket, making it prone to displacement when subjected to external forces in a specific direction. In this embodiment, [the following is a more detailed description of the method]... Figure 2 , Figure 3 Taking the posture shown as an example, the vehicle radar probe bracket is positioned and limited from the top, bottom, left, and right sides of the base plate 18, achieving a stable fixation in all directions and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the vehicle radar probe bracket.

[0043] Furthermore, in the direction of the base plate 18 near the outer lower air intake grille 15, the width of the first latch 2 and the second latch 4 gradually decreases, so that the sides of the first latch 2 and the second latch 4 form an inclined surface as a guide structure 12, which is wedge-shaped, to accommodate the operation of the elastic plate 6 to allow the limiting plate 1 to rotate around its abutment position, thus meeting the requirements for rotation and disassembly; when rotating around the abutment position of the recess and the edge 10, this inclined surface can be used to abut against one side of the hole wall of the mating hole of the first latch 2 and the second latch 4, and push the base plate 18 in the horizontal direction to press the limiting piece 1 and the outer insertion hole 7 to fit, thereby improving the tightness of the fit.

[0044] Meanwhile, the lower outer air intake grille 15 is also provided with a pressure tongue corresponding to the first buckle 2 and the second buckle 4. The side of the first buckle 2 and the second buckle 4 opposite to the snap-fit ​​part 13 is a pressing surface, which is used to receive the elastic pressure of the pressure tongue on the lower outer air intake grille 15, thereby further fixing the vehicle radar probe bracket.

[0045] During disassembly, the hook can be released from the outer lower air intake grille 15 by the free end of the elastic plate 6. Then, rotate it in the opposite direction around the abutment position of the recess and the edge 10 to release the engagement of the second buckle 4, the first buckle 2's locking part 13 with the outer lower air intake grille 15, until the limiting piece 1 can be pulled out from the insertion hole 7, thus releasing the connection between the vehicle radar probe bracket and the outer lower air intake grille 15.

[0046] It is understandable that the radar probe bracket, which holds the radar probe in place, including the probe carrier 11, hook, and snap-fit ​​part 13, needs to avoid interference during the rotational assembly process.

[0047] It should be noted that the limiting piece 1 abuts against the insertion hole 7 under the protruding structure 19 on one side of the mesh structure of the lower air intake grille 15 by insertion, and replaces the snapping action of the protruding structure 19 with the oblique and rotating action. Combined with the elastic plate 6, it snaps against the outer lower air intake grille 15 to form a snap-fit ​​fixation. When the radar probe is pushed from the inside to the outside for installation, the direction of the thrust of the radar probe on the radar bracket is not consistent with the direction of the limiting piece 1 releasing the limit. Therefore, the position of the limiting piece 1 can maintain the state of snapping against the protruding structure 19 of the lower air intake grille 15, thereby maintaining the position of the radar bracket in the lower air intake grille 15 and preventing it from falling off after being subjected to internal force.

[0048] The vehicle radar probe bracket in this embodiment maintains a stable connection during installation and use. The limiting piece 1 and the insertion hole 7 are used for rotational locking and limiting, ensuring the radar bracket remains stably installed on the lower air intake grille 15 even when the radar probe is installed, thus improving the stability of the radar bracket. Installing the radar bracket on the lower air intake grille 15 from the outside resists external impacts. The locking and pressing direction of the buckle and elastic plate 6 is consistent with the direction of external impacts encountered during use, thereby maintaining the radar bracket's stable connection to the lower air intake grille 15 even in the event of an external collision.

[0049] Furthermore, traditional connection methods require complex operations inside the vehicle to disassemble or install the radar probe bracket, which is inconvenient for maintenance and repair. In this embodiment, the fastener on the base plate 18 is located on the side facing the outer grille, allowing direct connection from the outside of the lower air intake grille 15. This structure greatly simplifies the replacement and repair process, improves maintenance efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0050] The vehicle radar probe bracket in this embodiment uses a single-layer material thickness, which makes it easy to snap on and has a simple mold structure, resulting in a low overall cost. The limiting piece 1 has a limiting length of about 1.5 times the material thickness in the X direction, which can ensure that the limiting structure can be smoothly snapped into the insertion hole 7 during rotation assembly, and can also ensure that it plays a limiting role in the X direction after assembly.

[0051] The hook is located on the elastic plate 6, positioned at the middle half of the plate 6. This allows the hook to smoothly engage after elastic deformation with the plate 6, and the high elasticity at this location reduces the likelihood of disengagement. The lower air intake grille 15 internally provides a locking mechanism. After the hook engages, the two hooks on the elastic plate 6 abut against the locking mechanism of the lower air intake grille 15 in the Y-direction, ensuring a reliable engagement and preventing disengagement during use.

[0052] After the first buckle 2 and the second buckle 4 are engaged with the corresponding holes, they achieve the limiting function in the Z direction.

[0053] The probe carrier 11 is located between the limiting piece 1 and the elastic plate 6, and between the first buckle 2 and the second buckle 4. Through the cooperation of the limiting piece 1, the elastic plate 6 and the buckles, a stable connection with the lower air intake grille 15 is achieved, which improves the stability of the radar probe bracket. This can prevent the radar probe from falling off during assembly and during use.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] In another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a car is proposed.

[0056] A vehicle radar sensor bracket, as shown in Embodiment 1, is installed on the lower air intake grille 15 of the car. The lower air intake grille 15 has an insertion hole 7, a snap-fit ​​hole, and a hook hole 14. The limiting piece 1 passes through the insertion hole 7 and the recess abuts against the edge 10 of the insertion hole 7. The first buckle 2 and the second buckle 4 pass through the corresponding snap-fit ​​holes and the snap-fit ​​part 13 abuts against the edge 10 of the snap-fit ​​hole. The first buckle 2 is provided with a first pressure tongue 3 below the first snap-fit ​​hole 9. The first pressure tongue 3 abuts against the first buckle 2 to make the first buckle 2 stably snap into the corresponding first snap-fit ​​hole 9. The second buckle 4 is provided with a second pressure tongue 5 above the second snap-fit ​​hole 8. The second pressure tongue 5 abuts against the second buckle 4 to make the second buckle 4 stably snap into the corresponding second snap-fit ​​hole 8. The elastic plate 6 passes through the hook hole 14 and the hook part abuts against the edge 10 of the hook hole 14.

[0057] Regarding the process of fitting and disfitting the vehicle radar probe bracket with the holes on the external grille, referring to the relevant description in Embodiment 1, the limiting piece 1, the first buckle 2, the elastic buckle 6, and the second buckle 4 protrude from the surface of the base plate 18 and respectively fit with the corresponding hole structures on the lower air intake grille 15. At the same time, the recess of the limiting piece 1 can rotate to abut against the external insertion hole 7, so that the vehicle radar probe bracket can be rotated from the front to the lower air intake grille 15 of the front bumper, effectively preventing the problem of insufficient clamping force in the back-mounted radar bracket, thereby reducing the failure of the vehicle radar probe bracket to fall off during use.

[0058] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
