[0036] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thickness of the layers and regions may be enlarged, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, a water tank guard plate assembly is provided.

[0038] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the water tank guard assembly includes: a connecting bracket assembly 10, one end of which is used to connect to the frame; an underbody guard assembly 20, which is located at the bottom of the frame, and the other end of the connecting bracket assembly 10 is connected to the underbody guard assembly 20, and the connecting bracket assembly 10 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the underbody guard assembly 20, and a protective space for the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40 is formed between the underbody guard assembly 20 and the frame.

[0039] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting bracket assembly 10 is connected to the frame, and the other end of the connecting bracket assembly 10 is connected to the bottom guard plate assembly 20, so that the stability of the guard plate assembly is ensured, and the connecting bracket assembly 10 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom guard plate assembly 20, not only the structural strength of the bottom guard plate assembly 20 is enhanced, but also the impact resistance of the bottom guard plate assembly 20 under various road conditions is ensured. This design forms a protective space for the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40 between the bottom guard plate assembly 20 and the frame, thereby achieving effective protection for the water tank and the engine oil pan 40. By setting up physical protection, direct impact of foreign objects such as mud and rocks is effectively blocked, thereby protecting key components of the vehicle cooling system and lubrication system, reducing the risk of damage to the front end of the frame, and achieving higher adaptability of the vehicle in harsh environments and long-term reliability of key components.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom guard plate assembly 20 includes: a side plate 21, one end of which is disposed toward the frame and gradually away from the frame; a bottom plate 22, the bottom plate 22 is located at the bottom of the frame, the bottom plate 22 is connected to the other end of the side plate 21, one end of the side plate 21 is connected to the front cross beam assembly 50 of the frame through a part of the connecting bracket assembly 10, and the bottom plate 22 is connected to the longitudinal beam assembly 60 of the frame through another part of the connecting bracket assembly 10, and a protective space is formed between the side plate 21, the bottom plate 22 and the frame.

[0041] Specifically, one end of the side plate 21 is disposed toward the front cross beam assembly 50 and gradually away from the front cross beam assembly 50. This design can better resist the impact and foreign body intrusion from the front, especially when the vehicle is traveling on muddy or rocky roads, it can effectively prevent the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40 from being directly damaged. The bottom plate 22 is located at the bottom of the frame, further expanding the protection range and ensuring the safety of the key components at the bottom of the vehicle. One end of the side plate 21 is connected to the front cross beam assembly 50 of the frame through a part of the connecting bracket assembly 10, and the bottom plate 22 is connected to the longitudinal beam assembly 60 of the frame through another part of the connecting bracket assembly 10. This double connection structure not only ensures the stable installation of the bottom guard plate assembly 20 on the frame, but also improves the structural strength and durability of the entire guard plate assembly, so that it can remain stable when subjected to external impact and is not easy to deform or fall off. The combination of the side plate 21 and the bottom plate 22, and their connection with the frame, together form a protective space between the frame and the guard plate. This space not only provides a physical barrier for the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40, but also takes into account the daily inspection and maintenance of vehicle components, ensuring efficient protection without affecting the normal operation and maintenance convenience of the vehicle.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting bracket assembly 10 includes: at least two first connecting brackets 11, at least two first connecting brackets 11 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the side plate 21, one end of the first connecting bracket 11 is connected to the side plate 21, and the other end of the first connecting bracket 11 is connected to the front cross beam assembly 50.

[0043] Specifically, by providing at least two first connecting brackets 11 in the length direction of the side panel 21, the lateral stability between the side panel 21 and the vehicle frame can be significantly increased. This distribution method can evenly disperse the external force on the side panel 21 and reduce deformation or damage caused by excessive force on a single point. In particular, when the vehicle encounters a lateral impact, the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40 can be better protected from being affected. The connection between the first connecting bracket 11, the side panel 21 and the front crossbeam assembly 50 constructs a stable triangular support structure. The triangle is considered to be one of the most stable structures in engineering. Therefore, this design greatly enhances the structural strength of the entire water tank guard plate assembly, allowing it to remain stable when subjected to impact forces in various directions, reducing the relative displacement between components and the deformation of the guard plate.

[0044] Furthermore, the connecting bracket assembly 10 includes: at least two second connecting brackets 12, at least two second connecting brackets 12 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the base plate 22, the second connecting bracket 12 is located at one end of the base plate 22 away from the side plate 21, one end of the second connecting bracket 12 is connected to the base plate 22, and the other end of the second connecting bracket 12 is connected to the longitudinal beam assembly 60.

[0045] Specifically, the second connecting bracket 12 further strengthens the structural connection between the bottom guard plate assembly 20 and the vehicle frame. This stable connection not only improves the protection performance, but also ensures that the guard plate can maintain a close fit with the vehicle frame when encountering complex road conditions, reducing the additional risks caused by loose guard plates.

[0046] Furthermore, the connecting bracket assembly 10 also includes: at least two third connecting brackets 13, at least two third connecting brackets 13 are arranged opposite to each other along the width direction of the bottom plate 22, each third connecting bracket 13 is located between each first connecting bracket 11 and the second connecting bracket 12, the third connecting bracket 13 is arranged close to the first connecting bracket 11, one end of the third connecting bracket 13 is connected to the bottom plate 22, and the other end of the third connecting bracket 13 is connected to the longitudinal beam assembly 60.

[0047] Specifically, the third connecting bracket 13 is arranged close to the first connecting bracket 11 and forms a stable connection with the bottom plate 22 and the longitudinal beam assembly 60. This layout further enhances the structural rigidity of the bottom guard plate assembly 20. By increasing the connection points, the bottom guard plate of the vehicle can better disperse and absorb the force when subjected to external impact, reduce local stress concentration, and reduce the risk of overall deformation of the guard plate.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting bracket 11 includes: a first connecting plate 111, the first connecting plate 111 is arranged along the width direction of the side plate 21, and the first connecting plate 111 is connected to the side plate 21; a second connecting plate 112, the second connecting plate 112 is arranged along the height direction of the frame, one end of the second connecting plate 112 is connected to one end of the first connecting plate 111; a third connecting plate 113, one end of the third connecting plate 113 is connected to the other end of the second connecting plate 112, and the third connecting plate 113 is connected to the bottom of the front cross beam assembly 50.

[0049] Specifically, the first connecting plate 111, the second connecting plate 112, and the third connecting plate 113 form a triangular stable structure, which enhances the connection stability between the side plate 21 and the front crossbeam assembly 50, so that the first connecting bracket 11 can withstand greater external pressure without being easily deformed or broken. This design improves the durability of the water tank guard plate assembly, and even under harsh conditions of use, it can maintain its protective function and extend the service life of the guard plate system.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first connecting plate 111 , the second connecting plate 112 , and the third connecting plate 113 may be integrally formed, the second connecting plate 112 is disposed at a preset angle with the first connecting plate 111 , and the third connecting plate 113 is disposed at a preset angle with the second connecting plate 112 .

[0051] The preset angle is α, 85°≤α≤95°, and in one embodiment, α is 90°.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first connecting plate 111 and the side plate 21 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. In another embodiment, the first connecting plate 111 and the side plate 21 can be arranged to be welded, bonded, etc.

[0053] In one embodiment, the third connecting plate 113 and the bottom of the front cross beam assembly 50 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. In another embodiment, the third connecting plate 113 and the bottom of the front cross beam assembly 50 can be configured to be welded, bonded, etc.

[0054] Furthermore, the second connecting bracket 12 includes: a fourth connecting plate 121, the fourth connecting plate 121 is located on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 22, and the fourth connecting plate 121 is connected to the bottom plate 22; a fifth connecting plate 122, the fifth connecting plate 122 is arranged along the height direction of the frame, and one end of the fifth connecting plate 122 is connected to one end of the fourth connecting plate 121; a sixth connecting plate 123, one end of the sixth connecting plate 123 is connected to the other end of the fifth connecting plate 122, and the other end of the sixth connecting plate 123 is arranged away from the fifth connecting plate 122; a seventh connecting plate 124, one end of the seventh connecting plate 124 is connected to the other end of the sixth connecting plate 123, the seventh connecting plate 124 is arranged along the height direction of the frame, and the seventh connecting plate 124 is connected to the side wall of the longitudinal beam assembly 60.

[0055] Specifically, the fourth connecting plate 121 is used to connect with the bottom plate 22, the fourth connecting plate 121 and the fifth connecting plate 122 are arranged at a preset angle, the fifth connecting plate 122 plays a supporting role, the fifth connecting plate 122 and the sixth connecting plate 123 are arranged at a preset angle, the seventh connecting plate 124 and the sixth connecting plate 123 are arranged at a preset angle, the sixth connecting plate 123 is used to contact with the bottom of the longitudinal beam assembly 60, the seventh connecting plate 124 is connected to the side wall of the longitudinal beam assembly 60, and the sixth connecting plate 123 and the seventh connecting plate 124 form an angle structure that is in contact with the longitudinal beam assembly.

[0056] Specifically, the connection between the fourth connecting plate 121 and the bottom plate 22 ensures the stability of the guard plate and the vehicle body, and the angle structure formed by the fifth connecting plate 122, the sixth connecting plate 123 and the seventh connecting plate 124 not only enhances the rigidity of the bracket itself, but also enhances the connection stability and impact resistance between the bottom plate 22 and the longitudinal beam assembly 60. This multi-plate angle design can effectively resist forces from different directions and provide more comprehensive and stable protection for the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40.

[0057] In one embodiment, the fourth connecting plate 121 , the fifth connecting plate 122 , the sixth connecting plate 123 , and the seventh connecting plate 124 may be integrally formed.

[0058] The preset angle is β, 85°≤β≤95°, and in one embodiment, β is 90°.

[0059] In one embodiment, the fourth connecting plate 121 and the bottom plate 22 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. In another embodiment, the fourth connecting plate 121 and the bottom plate 22 may be welded, bonded, or the like.

[0060] In one embodiment, the seventh connecting plate 124 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam assembly 60 are fixedly connected by bolts and nuts. In another embodiment, the seventh connecting plate 124 and the side wall of the longitudinal beam assembly 60 may be configured to be welded, bonded, etc.

[0061] Furthermore, the third connecting bracket 13 includes: at least two support plates 131, one of which is connected to the bottom plate 22, a support column 132, one end of which is connected to one of the support plates 131, the support column 132 is arranged along the height direction of the frame, the other end of the support column 132 is connected to another support plate 131, and the other support plate 131 is connected to the bottom of the longitudinal beam assembly 60, and at least two support plates 131 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0062] Further, the height of the second connecting bracket 12 along the height direction of the frame is greater than the height of the third connecting bracket 13 along the height direction of the frame.

[0063] Specifically, the second connecting bracket 12 is designed to be higher, so that it can cover a larger longitudinal range and provide more comprehensive protection for the bottom of the vehicle. In particular, when the vehicle encounters a protruding obstacle (such as a rock, a tree root, etc.) at the bottom during driving, the elevated second connecting bracket 12 can serve as the first line of defense, effectively resisting the impact force from below, reducing direct damage to the bottom plate 22 and the longitudinal beam assembly 60, and protecting key components such as the water tank and the oil pan from damage.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the side panel 21 includes a side panel body 211 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 212. One end of the side panel body 211 is disposed toward the frame and gradually away from the frame. The side panel body 211 is connected to the front cross beam assembly 50 through a portion of the connecting bracket assembly 10. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 212 are disposed on a side of the side panel body 211 away from the frame. The plurality of reinforcing ribs 212 are extended along the width direction of the side panel body 211 and are spaced apart along the length direction of the side panel body 211.

[0065] Specifically, the addition of multiple reinforcing ribs 212 significantly enhances the structural rigidity of the side panel 21, allowing it to maintain its shape without deformation when subjected to lateral impact. The distribution design of the reinforcing ribs provides additional support points, reduces the bending and vibration of the side panel body 211 when under pressure, and thus improves the stability and durability of the entire water tank guard assembly. The reinforcing ribs 212 extend along the width direction of the side panel body 211 and are arranged at intervals along its length. This layout can more effectively disperse the lateral impact force to the entire side panel structure, reducing the concentrated impact of the impact force on a single point or area. The combination of the reinforcing ribs 212 and the side panel body 211 ensures the uniform transmission of force and improves the overall impact resistance of the guard.

[0066] Furthermore, the bottom plate 22 includes a bottom plate body 221 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs. The bottom plate body 221 is located at the bottom of the frame. The bottom plate body 221 is connected to the longitudinal beam assembly 60 through another part of the connecting bracket assembly 10. A plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the side of the bottom plate body 221 away from the frame. The plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged along the length direction of the bottom plate body 221, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the bottom plate body 221.

[0067] Specifically, the bottom plate body 221 is directly located at the bottom of the frame and is connected to the longitudinal beam assembly 60 through the connecting bracket assembly 10, forming a solid barrier between the frame and the ground. This design can effectively prevent ground obstacles (such as stones, branches, etc.) from directly hitting the bottom of the frame and key components, such as the water tank and the oil pan, thereby protecting the bottom structure of the vehicle from damage and improving the safety and reliability of the vehicle in complex road conditions. Multiple reinforcing ribs are arranged along the length direction of the bottom plate body 221 and are arranged at intervals along the width direction. This structure significantly enhances the rigidity of the bottom plate and reduces deformation and damage when it is impacted or loaded with heavy objects. The addition of reinforcing ribs creates a more stable bottom protection system, and the bottom plate can maintain its structural integrity and protective effect even in harsh usage environments.

[0068] Furthermore, a liquid leakage port 222 is provided on a side of the bottom plate 22 .

[0069] Specifically, the leakage port 222 is arranged near the second connecting bracket 12, and the leakage port 222 is designed to take into account the safety requirements during the operation of the vehicle. In an emergency situation where the water tank or cooling system is damaged, such as being penetrated by foreign objects or a vehicle collision causing coolant leakage, the leakage port 222 can quickly release the coolant to avoid the coolant accumulating at the bottom of the vehicle to cause additional burden or safety hazards, and prevent the high-temperature coolant from causing damage to other vehicle components or personnel. The position design of the leakage port 222 facilitates technicians to quickly locate the leakage point of the water tank or cooling system during inspection. During maintenance, technicians can inspect and make preliminary repairs through the leakage port 222 without completely disassembling the bottom plate 22, saving time and cost and improving maintenance efficiency. The leakage port 222 is an emergency outlet of the water tank cooling system. Under normal circumstances, the leakage port 222 will be sealed to prevent the loss of coolant. However, when the cooling system pressure is too high or the coolant leaks, the leakage port 222 can be opened in time to release excess coolant, protect the water tank from further damage, and ensure the stable operation of the vehicle cooling system.

[0070] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle includes a radiator guard assembly, and the radiator guard assembly is the radiator guard assembly of the above embodiment. The radiator guard assembly includes: a connecting bracket assembly 10, one end of which is used to connect to the vehicle frame; an underbody guard assembly 20, the underbody guard assembly 20 is located at the bottom of the vehicle frame, the other end of the connecting bracket assembly 10 is connected to the underbody guard assembly 20, the connecting bracket assembly 10 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the underbody guard assembly 20, and a protective space for a water tank 30 and an engine oil pan 40 is formed between the underbody guard assembly 20 and the vehicle frame.

[0071] In this embodiment, one end of the connecting bracket assembly 10 is connected to the frame, and the other end of the connecting bracket assembly 10 is connected to the bottom guard plate assembly 20, so that the stability of the guard plate assembly is ensured, and the connecting bracket assembly 10 is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bottom guard plate assembly 20, not only the structural strength of the bottom guard plate assembly 20 is enhanced, but also the impact resistance of the bottom guard plate assembly 20 under various road conditions is ensured. This design forms a protective space for the water tank 30 and the engine oil pan 40 between the bottom guard plate assembly 20 and the frame, thereby achieving effective protection for the water tank and the engine oil pan 40. By setting up physical protection, direct impact of foreign objects such as mud and rocks is effectively blocked, thereby protecting key components of the vehicle cooling system and lubrication system, reducing the risk of damage to the front end of the frame, and achieving higher adaptability of the vehicle in harsh environments and long-term reliability of key components.

[0072] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures".
