[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, consumers are paying more and more attention to the characteristics of the front face design of cars. This has resulted in larger illuminated areas on the front face, larger grilles, and smaller bumpers.
[0003] In existing technologies, headlights, lamp covers, and grilles are sequentially installed and fixed onto the bumper frame. When installing the grille last, the gaps between the left and right sides of the grille and the two lamp covers are usually visually estimated to ensure they are uniform before fixing the grille's position. However, there are processing and assembly errors in the production and assembly processes of components such as headlights, lamp covers, grilles, and bumpers. Ultimately, the cumulative manufacturing error of the gap between the grille end and the lamp cover reaches ±3mm. Excessive manufacturing error not only seriously affects the quality and product yield of the grille after assembly, thus affecting the overall vehicle's perceived quality, but also, improper on-site assembly can easily lead to rework of the front bumper, grille, and U-shaped components, resulting in a waste of personnel and assembly resources.
