[0046] Combine Figures 1 to 17 As shown, according to one aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a front bumper assembly is provided.

[0047] The front bumper assembly includes a front bumper body 3, a front bumper decorative strip 4 and a front bumper mounting plate 5. The front bumper decorative strip 4 is located on a first side of the front bumper body 3 and is connected to the front bumper body 3; the front bumper mounting plate 5 is located on a second side of the front bumper body 3, the front bumper mounting plate 5 is connected to the front bumper body 3 through a first fastener 71, the front bumper mounting plate 5 is connected to the radiator grille assembly 2 through a second fastener 72, and the front bumper body 3 is connected to the vehicle body through the front bumper mounting plate 5; wherein, the first side of the front bumper body 3 and the second side of the front bumper body 3 are arranged opposite to each other along the length direction of the vehicle body, and along the direction from the first side to the second side, the front bumper decorative strip 4 covers the first fastener 71.

[0048] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the first fastener 71 is covered by the front bumper decorative strip 4, which not only improves the aesthetics of the front bumper assembly, but also protects the first fastener 71 from the influence of the external environment, thereby extending the service life. This solves the problem in the prior art that the front bumper decorative part fails to effectively protect the fixing points of the bumper body. The overall appearance of the front bumper assembly is more coordinated, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0049] It should be noted that the front bumper mounting plate 5 can be connected to the vehicle body in various ways such as welding, fastener connection, etc. The front bumper mounting plate 5 can be set to a shape that matches the vehicle body frame. The front bumper body 3 can be manufactured in batches in a standardized manner and connected to different vehicle bodies through the front bumper mounting plate 5.

[0050] The first fastener 71 and the second fastener 72 may be fasteners such as screws and bolts.

[0051] Furthermore, the front bumper mounting plate 5 has a guide groove 51 extending toward the front bumper body 3. At least a portion of the front bumper body 3 extends into the guide groove 51. The sidewalls of the guide groove 51 form an angle α with the front bumper body 3, where 10°≤α≤20°. The specifically angled guide groove 51 allows for precise alignment of the front bumper body 3 and the front bumper mounting plate 5, thereby simplifying the assembly process, improving assembly efficiency, shortening assembly time, and reducing production costs. Preferably, the angle α is 15°.

[0052] Specifically, the front bumper trim strip 4 has a first return buckle 41, which connects the front bumper trim strip 4 to the front bumper body 3 via the first return buckle 41. The first return buckle 41 allows for quick fastening of the front bumper trim strip 4 to the front bumper body 3, making the assembly process simple and quick, without the need for additional tools, and reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0053] Preferably, the first circular buckle 41 extends along the length of the vehicle body. This arrangement avoids the problem of the first circular buckle 41 extending and being exposed along the height of the vehicle body, reduces the space occupied by the front bumper trim strip 4 in the height direction of the vehicle body, and does not cause any additional increase in the height dimension of the front bumper trim strip 4. When connected, the first circular buckle 41 mates with the buckle-fitting structure provided on the front bumper body 3 along the height direction of the vehicle body. After connection, when viewed from front to back along the length of the vehicle body, only the surface of the front bumper trim strip 4 is visible, and the first circular buckle 41 is not visible.

[0054] The front bumper trim strip 4 may be provided with a plurality of first return-shaped buckles 41 , which are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body to enhance the connection stability between the front bumper trim strip 4 and the front bumper body 3 .

[0055] Specifically, the front bumper trim strip 4 has a second return-shaped buckle 42 , and the front bumper trim strip 4 is connected to the radiator grille assembly 2 via the second return-shaped buckle 42 .

[0056] The second loop buckle 42 can realize the rapid connection and fixation of the front bumper decorative strip 4 and the radiator grille assembly 2, making the assembly process simple and fast without the need for additional tools, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembly.

[0057] Preferably, the second circular buckle 42 extends along the length of the vehicle body. This arrangement reduces the space occupied by the second circular buckle 42 in the height direction of the vehicle body, without causing any additional increase in the height dimension of the front bumper trim strip 4. During connection, the second circular buckle 42 mates with the buckle-fitting structure provided on the radiator grille assembly 2 along the height direction of the vehicle body. After connection, the radiator grille assembly 2 and the front bumper trim strip 4 can fit together in the height direction of the vehicle body.

[0058] The front bumper trim strip 4 may be provided with a plurality of second return-shaped buckles 42 , which are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body to enhance the connection stability between the front bumper trim strip 4 and the radiator grille assembly 2 .

[0059] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the front bumper trim strip 4 has an upper edge and a lower edge arranged opposite to each other along the vehicle body height direction, wherein the second return-shaped buckle 42 is arranged at the lower edge and the first return-shaped buckle 41 is arranged at the upper edge.

[0060] Furthermore, the front bumper mounting plate 5 is connected to the front bumper body 3 via a plurality of first fasteners 71, and the front bumper trim strip 4 covers all of the first fasteners 71. The provision of multiple first fasteners 71 improves the connection stability between the front bumper mounting plate 5 and the front bumper trim strip 4 covers all of the first fasteners 71, effectively improving the aesthetics of the front bumper assembly, preventing the first fasteners 71 from being exposed, reducing external environmental erosion, and extending the service life of the first fasteners 71, thereby extending the service life of the front bumper assembly.

[0061] Preferably, the plurality of first fasteners 71 are spaced apart in the vehicle body width direction.

[0062] Preferably, the front bumper mounting plate 5 is integrally formed. This integrally formed arrangement reduces the number of joints and connection points between parts, thereby improving the overall rigidity and strength of the front bumper mounting plate 5. Since there are no additional welds or bolts, the front bumper mounting plate 5 is more reliable in withstanding impacts.

[0063] Optionally, the one-piece molding setting can be achieved by die-casting, thermoforming, etc.

[0064] Specifically, the front bumper body 3 includes a main area 31 and two side areas 32. Along the width direction of the vehicle body, the two side areas 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main area 31. The main area 31 is connected to the front bumper mounting plate 5 and the front bumper decorative strip 4. The front bumper mounting plate 5 blocks at least part of the main area 31.

[0065] By configuring the front bumper body 3 to consist of a main area 31 and side areas 32, the mechanical properties of the front bumper can be optimized, and effective dispersion of different impact forces can be achieved. When the front bumper is hit from the front or side, it can better absorb and disperse energy, thereby protecting the safety of the vehicle and passengers.

[0066] Furthermore, the main body area 31 is an annular structure having a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other along the height direction of the vehicle body, and the front bumper decorative strip 4 and the front bumper mounting plate 5 are both connected to the first end of the annular structure.

[0067] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the height of the first end is higher than that of the second end, that is, the front bumper trim strip 4 and the front bumper mounting plate 5 are both connected to the top of the main body region 31. The annular structure of the main body region 31 can effectively disperse collision energy and enhance the impact resistance of the bumper.

[0068] Preferably, the front bumper body 3 is formed in one piece. This reduces the joints and connection points between parts, which is beneficial to improving the overall rigidity and strength of the front bumper body 3, making the performance of the front bumper body 3 more reliable during collisions.

[0069] It should be understood that, in order to improve the overall structural strength of the front bumper assembly, the front bumper decorative strip 4 may also be integrally formed.

[0070] Furthermore, a mounting plate 33 is provided at the second end of the annular structure for mounting the license plate. This provides a dedicated area for license plate installation, ensuring standardized and regular license plate installation. It also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement, provides a more secure installation, and reduces the risk of damage from improper installation.

[0071] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a vehicle is further provided. The vehicle has a front bumper assembly, and the front bumper assembly is the front bumper assembly in the above embodiment.

[0072] Applying the front bumper assembly in the above embodiment to vehicle design can improve the overall performance of the vehicle, making the front design of the vehicle more coordinated and beautiful, while significantly improving the protective performance and durability of the front bumper.

[0073] According to another aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a method for assembling a front bumper assembly is further provided. The method is used to assemble the front bumper assembly in the above embodiment.

[0074] Figure 18 is a flow chart of a method for assembling a front bumper assembly according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. Figure 18 As shown, the process includes the following steps:

[0075] S1, moving the front bumper mounting plate 5 to a first side of the front bumper body 3;

[0076] S2, connect the front bumper mounting plate 5 to the front bumper body 3 using the first fastener 71, wherein the first fastener 71 is inserted in a direction from the second side of the front bumper body 3 to the first side of the front bumper body 3;

[0077] S3, moving the front bumper decorative strip 4 to the second side of the front bumper body 3;

[0078] S4, connecting the front bumper trim strip 4 to the main area 31 of the front bumper body 3 through the first loop buckle 41 on the front bumper trim strip 4;

[0079] S5, moving the radiator grille assembly 2 to an assembly position along a preset direction, wherein the preset direction is a direction from the first side of the front bumper body 3 to the second side of the front bumper body 3;

[0080] S6, connect the front bumper trim strip 4 to the radiator grille assembly 2 through the second loop buckle 42 on the front bumper trim strip 4, and connect the radiator grille assembly 2 to the front bumper mounting plate 5 through the second fastener 72 to obtain the front bumper assembly.

[0081] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, efficient assembly of the front bumper assembly is achieved through a reasonable assembly sequence and a dedicated connection structure, while ensuring precise fit between the various components, making the assembly process smoother, shortening the assembly time, and reducing production costs.

[0082] The present application also provides a preferred embodiment of a front bumper assembly and an installation method thereof.

[0083] To facilitate the introduction of the technical effects of this embodiment, the following is an introduction to the front bumper assembly in the prior art: With the continuous development of the automobile industry, automobile design is becoming increasingly diversified and personalized. As an important component of the automobile's appearance, the bumper must not only have basic collision protection functions, but also match the overall style of the vehicle in terms of appearance. Among them, there is a front bumper assembly with a wraparound structure, please refer to Figure 1 Because the radiator grille assembly is supplied as a separate unit and needs to be assembled with it in the final assembly shop, the design and structure of the bumper and grille assemblies are fixed due to the shop's assembly methods. These numerous constraints necessitated a structural design that met the styling requirements.

[0084] like Figure 1 As shown, the front bumper assembly mainly includes the front bumper assembly related structure and the radiator grille assembly 2, wherein the bumper assembly related structure includes the front bumper upper body (i.e. the aforementioned front bumper body 3), the front bumper upper decorative strip (i.e. the aforementioned front bumper decorative strip 4), and the front bumper upper mounting plate (i.e. the aforementioned front bumper mounting plate 5, hereinafter also referred to as the front bumper upper mounting plate, or simply the upper mounting plate).

[0085] Please refer to Figure 3-Figure 4As shown: The center area between the front bumper upper mounting plate and the front bumper upper body is fixed to the front bumper upper body with screws from the X-direction to the front. The upper mounting plate is fixed to the front bumper upper body with screws from the X-direction to the rear. The front bumper upper mounting plate is equipped with a primary positioning mechanism and an auxiliary positioning mechanism that allows for release in the Y direction. This allows for controlled Y-direction deviation when the front bumper upper mounting plate is installed on the front bumper upper body. Note: The X-direction represents the vehicle body length. The front-to-rear direction in the X-direction refers to the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. The rear-to-front direction in the X-direction refers to the rear-to-front direction of the vehicle. The Y-direction represents the vehicle body width, and the Z-direction represents the vehicle body height.

[0086] Furthermore, in order to cover the screw mounting points of the front guard upper mounting plate mounted on the front guard upper body, refer to Figure 4-Figure 6 The front guard upper decorative strip is installed on the front guard upper body along the X direction straight ahead through the first return buckle 41, and with reference to Figure 7 As shown, the step L1 between the first return buckle 41 and the parting line needs to be larger than 0.5 mm to avoid the light leakage problem at the front buckle structure position.

[0087] Due to the gap difference between the front bumper assembly 1 and the radiator grille assembly 2, the matching parts are the front bumper upper decorative strip and the radiator grille assembly 2, please refer to Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the front decorative strip 4 needs to be directly matched with the radiator grille assembly 2 to ensure the gap and surface difference.

[0088] Since the molding process of the radiator grille assembly 2 is a two-color injection molding process, such as Figure 8 As shown, the radiator grille assembly 2 includes a transparent white sheet 6 and a radiator black sheet 8. Due to the molding process limitations of the radiator grille assembly 2, the transparent white sheet 6 needs to leave a 1.0 mm (i.e. Figure 8 If the step between the second return buckle 42 of the front upper decorative strip and the parting line is ensured to be 0.5 mm, the radiator grille assembly 2 and the front upper decorative strip will interfere with each other during assembly.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 8 In this embodiment, the thickness of the mounting structure wall of the front bumper upper decorative strip (ie Figure 8 The L4 shown in FIG is thinned to 1.5 mm, ensuring that the second return buckle 42 of the front upper decorative strip is within 1 mm (i.e. Figure 8 L2 shown in the figure), and at the same time, the strength of the second return buckle 42 is improved by adding reinforcing ribs to prevent problems such as breakage during installation and extend the service life.

[0090] like Figure 9-10As shown, due to the workshop assembly process and sequence, the radiator grille assembly 2 can only be assembled from back to front (referring to the length of the vehicle, from the rear to the front). Furthermore, due to limited space for installation tools in the workshop subassembly area, the radiator grille assembly 2 and the upper portion of the front bumper assembly 1 cannot be fixed with horizontal screws in the X direction, and can only be installed diagonally in the X direction. Furthermore, the front bumper upper body is ejected from the mold in the X direction, preventing the mounting structure from forming. The front bumper upper mounting plate is ejected from the mold in the Z direction, so the mounting structure is formed on the front bumper mounting plate. Finally, the radiator grille assembly 2 is fixed to the front bumper assembly 1 with screws.

[0091] The front bumper assembly in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0092] 1) The upper mounting plate is installed from back to front. This installation direction makes full use of the internal space configuration of the front bumper, effectively solving the installation problem caused by the limited width of the upper edge of the front bumper body. During the installation process, the screws are screwed in from the rear in the positive direction of the X-axis, combined with the design of the guide groove 51 with a 15° inclination angle, to solve the tool interference problem caused by the limited Z-direction space in the traditional process. The screw specification is ST4.8 fine-thread screw with a friction coefficient of μ≥0.4, ensuring that a stable tightening force can be maintained in a vibration environment. This tightening direction design can generate a tightening force in a specific direction, enhance the installation stability of the upper mounting plate, and enable it to withstand dynamic loads such as vibration and collision during vehicle driving;

[0093] 2) The front bumper upper decorative piece (i.e., the front bumper upper decorative strip) is installed front to back along the X-axis. Its primary function is to conceal the upper mounting plate's fixing points. By properly designing the front bumper upper decorative piece's mounting structure, not only can the upper mounting plate fixing points be concealed, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the front bumper, but it also forms a protective barrier for the fixing points, effectively preventing them from being corroded by external factors such as dust and moisture, thereby extending the service life of the upper mounting plate's fixing structure.

[0094] 3) In this embodiment, a multi-level collaborative installation system is used to combine the reverse assembly topology logic of the upper mounting plate with the triple-composite clip-on mechanism of the front bumper upper decorative part to form a complete assembly system, ensuring close fit and stability between the various components. The back-to-front installation of the upper mounting plate and the screw fastening structure in a specific direction provide a stable foundation for the installation of the front bumper upper decorative part, ensuring the reliability of the internal structure of the front bumper; while the front-to-back installation of the front bumper upper decorative part achieves effective shielding and protection of the upper mounting plate fixing points. Together, the two constitute an innovative installation structure suitable for wraparound front bumper styling and capable of resolving the problem of insufficient upper edge width.

[0095] The front bumper assembly and its installation method in this embodiment meet the styling requirements while improving the connection stability between the sub-components, reducing the assembly difficulty and enhancing the overall aesthetics by optimizing the overlap structure design of the various sub-components of the bumper. This improves assembly efficiency and structural stability while meeting the styling requirements of modern automobiles.
