Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile structures, in particular to an automobile front end structure. Background Art

[0002] The front end of a car is used in a car to improve safety. In addition, in the event of an accident at low speed, the damage to the car body structure can be kept to a low level by using the front end of the car. For this purpose, the front end of the car is designed as a deformable body and is installed on the car in such a way that when the car hits an obstacle, it can absorb the impact energy generated at least partially through its deformation. The front end of the car thus reduces the impact energy transmitted to the body structure and reduces or prevents its damage. New energy vehicles are booming, and the proportion of production and sales continues to increase; in 2023, my country's automobile production and sales will reach 30.161 million and 30.094 million respectively, an increase of 11.6% and 12% year-on-year, and the production and sales volume have ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years. Among them, the production and sales of new energy vehicles will reach 9.587 million and 9.495 million respectively, an increase of 35.8% and 37.9% year-on-year, and the market share will reach 31.6%. With the rapid popularization of new energy vehicles, their NVH comfort issues such as noise and vibration are becoming increasingly prominent. Electric vehicles have no engine vibration noise, low background noise, and the NVH vibration phenomenon is particularly prominent, affecting the driving experience and comfort.

[0003] In the car cooling system, the cooling fan is one of the most important parts. Its main function is to reduce the temperature of the engine coolant so that the powertrain can always work within the appropriate temperature range. The car starts at idle speed, the air conditioner is turned on, and the cooling fan is working. The driver often hears a "buzzing" sound that is sometimes loud and sometimes soft, and can also feel a rhythmic vibration on the steering wheel. This phenomenon is called "beat vibration" in professional terms. The beat vibration phenomenon in the idle AC ON condition of the whole vehicle seriously affects the driver's subjective feelings during the use of the vehicle. In addition, the driver will feel physically uncomfortable if he is in this low-frequency beat sound environment for a long time, especially in the hot season in the south. The driver will also experience symptoms such as dizziness, which affects driving safety. Summary of the invention

The front-end structure connects the upper end with the side end through a new bracket, and the side stiffness is reinforced by adding a side triangular support. The overall average of the radiator installation point stiffness is increased by 60%, which greatly improves the vibration isolation rate of the position. The overall stiffness of the front-end structure is strengthened by adding a connecting bracket and a triangular support on the side, which greatly improves the front-end structural modality while improving the radiator installation point stiffness, effectively reducing the risk of the cooling fan vibration being transmitted to the vehicle body, thereby improving the NVH performance.
