[0039] The automobile bumper mounting seat is a bracket-type part installed on the vehicle body and fastened to the vehicle body by fastening bolts. The bumper skin is installed to the vehicle body by being tapped into the clip structure at the edge of the bumper mounting seat. In the traditional scheme, since there is a mounting hole for fixing to the vehicle body near the clip structure located at the edge of the bumper mounting seat, there is a large area of ​​cavity near the mounting hole. In the process of installing the bumper skin to the bumper mounting seat, since the mounting hole is located near the clip structure, when tapping and installing the bumper skin, the bumper skin near the mounting hole is easily subjected to more and greater forces, so the bumper skin installed at the mounting hole is more likely to undergo plastic deformation.

[0040] The present invention provides a bumper mounting seat 100 .

[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3In one embodiment of the present invention, the bumper mounting seat 100 includes: a base 1 and a support rib structure 3, wherein the base 1 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the first side of the base 1 has a mounting groove 11, the bottom of the mounting groove 11 is penetrated through the second side thereof to be provided with a mounting hole 12, the mounting hole 12 is used for installation of a vehicle body arranged on the second side of the base 1, and the first side of the mounting seat is used for setting the bumper skin 2; the support rib structure 3 is located in the mounting groove 11 and is arranged on the periphery of the mounting hole 12, and the support rib structure 3 is used to abut against the bumper skin 2.

[0042] According to the technical solution of the present invention, when the bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100, since a support rib structure 3 is added near the mounting hole 12 of the bumper mounting seat 100, during the process of tapping and installing the bumper skin 2, the support rib structure 3 can abut against the bumper skin 2, thereby dispersing the force during installation, thereby preventing the bumper skin 2 from plastic deformation at this location, thereby improving the problem that the bumper skin 2 is prone to plastic deformation in the larger cavity area at the mounting hole 12 when the bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100.

[0043] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific installation method of the bumper skin 2 on the bumper mounting seat 100. Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, a clamping structure 13 is provided on the edge of the base 1, and a snap-fit ​​structure corresponding to the clamping structure 13 is provided on the edge of the bumper skin 2. During installation, the installation of the bumper skin 2 can be completed by aligning the clamping structure 13 with the snap-fit ​​structure, and then tapping the bumper skin 2 to engage.

[0044] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the number of the support rib structures 3. That is to say, one or more support rib structures 3 of the present invention can be set near the mounting hole 12. It is only necessary to ensure that the bumper skin 2 can fully disperse the force during the flapping installation so as not to cause plastic deformation. The specific number is not limited. In an embodiment of the present invention, one support rib structure 3 is set near the mounting hole 12 to ensure that during the installation of the bumper skin 2, the support rib structure 3 can disperse the force during the installation by abutting against the bumper skin 2, and the bumper skin 2 will not undergo plastic deformation near the mounting hole 12 due to the flapping installation.

[0045] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific number of the mounting holes 12, that is, the number of the mounting holes 12 in the bumper mounting seat 100 can be specifically set according to the matching conditions with the corresponding vehicle body. In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the mounting holes 12 is three.

[0046] Since the common bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100, in order to closely fit the notch design of the mounting groove 11, in order for the support rib structure 3 to abut against the bumper skin 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, one end of the support rib structure 3 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end is flush with the notch of the mounting groove 11. Such a setting is in line with the design of the common bumper skin 2, so that the bumper mounting seat 100 of the present invention can be compatible with most bumper skins 2 on the market.

[0047] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the height of the support rib structure 3, and can be designed as a notch lower than the mounting groove 11, or a notch higher than the mounting groove 11, as long as the support rib structure 3 can abut against the bumper skin 2 when the bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100. Specifically, in another embodiment of the present invention, the support rib structure 3 protrudes from the notch of the mounting groove 11, and correspondingly, the bumper skin 2 has a shape that matches the support rib. When the bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100, the support rib structure 3 just abuts against the bumper structure, which can also achieve the effect of dispersing the force during installation, thereby also improving the problem that the bumper skin 2 is prone to plastic deformation in the cavity area of ​​the mounting groove 11 when the bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100.

[0048] In order to facilitate the production of the bumper mounting seat 100, in the embodiment of the present invention, the support rib structure 3 is integrally provided with the base 1. That is, when the bumper mounting seat 100 is manufactured by using a mold drafting method, there is no structure that can block the drafting on the notch side of the mounting groove 11, so the mold can be smoothly demolded by drafting along the second side of the base 1 toward the first side.

[0049] See also Figure 2In an embodiment of the present invention, the support rib structure 3 includes a first convex rib 31 and a second convex rib 32, wherein the first convex rib 31 extends along the circumference of the mounting hole 12; the second convex rib 32 extends along the radial direction of the mounting hole 12, one end of which is connected to the first convex rib 31, and the other end of which extends away from the mounting hole 12. The first convex rib 31 is arranged in such a way as to avoid the mounting hole 12, that is, when the bumper mounting seat 100 is installed on the vehicle body, the first convex rib 31 extends along the circumference of the mounting hole 12, leaving enough space for the operation of the reserved tool, and avoiding the secondary quality hidden danger caused by the excessive size of the cavity around the mounting hole 12 due to the convenience of installation. On the other hand, the second convex rib 32 extends along the radial direction of the mounting hole 12, one end of which is connected to the first convex rib 31, and the other end of which extends away from the mounting hole 12. The strength of the convex rib is enhanced by the connection between the first convex rib 31 and the second convex rib 32, and at the same time, the other end of the convex rib extends away from the mounting hole 12 to expand the distribution range of the support rib structure 3.

[0050] It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the fixed connection method between the mounting hole 12 and the vehicle body. In an embodiment of the present invention, the bumper mounting seat 100 and the vehicle body are connected by fastening bolts 4, and the circumferential distribution of the first rib 31 reserves space for the operation of the bolt sleeve.

[0051] In order to make the distribution range of the second convex rib 32 larger and more reasonable, in another embodiment of the present invention, the second convex rib 32 is provided in plurality, and the plurality of second convex ribs 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting hole 12. Such arrangement ensures that the distribution range of the second convex rib 32 is larger and more reasonable, and the originally larger cavity area in the mounting groove 11 is divided into smaller cavity areas, which effectively disperses the force when installing the bumper skin 2, and improves the problem that the bumper skin 2 is easily plastically deformed in the cavity area of ​​the mounting groove 11 when the bumper skin 2 is installed on the bumper mounting seat 100.

[0052] In order to further increase the strength of the support rib structure 3, in an embodiment of the present invention, the mounting groove 11 is arranged in an annular shape, and a reinforcing rib 5 is further arranged in the mounting groove 11 to connect the two side walls 14 of the mounting groove 11; the other end of the second convex rib 32 is connected to the side wall 14 of the mounting groove 11 or to the reinforcing rib 5. By adding the reinforcing rib 5 to connect the two side walls 14 of the mounting groove 11, and the other end of the second convex rib 32 is connected to the reinforcing rib 5, it is equivalent to adding more interconnections of the support structure in the original cavity area, and the distribution of the support rib structure 3 is also more compact, which greatly enhances the strength of the support rib structure 3. At the same time, in this embodiment, the second convex rib 32 is arranged in plurality, and the plurality of second convex ribs 32 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mounting hole 12; the other ends of some of the second convex ribs 32 are connected to the side walls 14 of the mounting groove 11, and the other ends of the other parts of the second convex ribs 32 are connected to the reinforcing rib 5. By adopting the scheme in the above embodiment in this embodiment, the cavity area in the installation groove 11 is divided into smaller areas in the above embodiment, and at the same time, the connection of the support rib structure 3 is more numerous and tighter, which greatly enhances the effect of the support rib structure 3 in dispersing the force when installing the bumper skin 2, and improves the problem that the bumper skin 2 is prone to plastic deformation in the cavity area of ​​the installation groove 11 when the bumper skin 2 is installed to the bumper mounting seat 100.

[0053] The present invention further provides a bumper assembly, which includes a bumper and a bumper mounting seat 100. The bumper is mounted on the bumper mounting seat 100 through a bumper skin 2. The specific structure of the bumper mounting seat 100 refers to the above embodiment. Since the bumper assembly adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.

[0054] The bumper mounting seat 100 includes: a base 1 and a support rib structure 3, wherein the base 1 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the first side of the base 1 has a mounting groove 11, the bottom of the mounting groove 11 is penetrated through the second side thereof to provide a mounting hole 12, the mounting hole 12 is used for installation on a vehicle body arranged on the second side of the base 1, and the first side of the mounting seat is used to set the bumper skin 2; the support rib structure 3 is located in the mounting groove 11 and is arranged on the periphery of the mounting hole 12, and the support rib structure 3 is used to abut against the bumper skin 2.

[0055] The present invention further provides an automobile, which includes a bumper assembly. The specific structure of the bumper assembly refers to the above embodiments. Since the automobile adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.
