The front panel has a first installation area and a second installation area. The air intake device is located between the first installation area and the second installation area. The first installation area is reserved with a first braking mechanism, the second installation area is reserved with a second braking mechanism, and the first braking mechanism and the second braking mechanism are symmetrically arranged on the first installation area and the second installation area. The vehicle includes a vehicle body and the above-mentioned front firewall structure. The front firewall structure is located at the front side of the vehicle body, and the front firewall structure is connected to the vehicle body. In this way, the present application can set up a front firewall structure and a vehicle, and by placing the air intake device in the middle position of the vehicle, the installation features are reserved for the first installation area and the second installation area, so that the first installation area and the second installation area are symmetrically arranged to achieve a universal design, save a lot of costs, and improve the overall performance of the vehicle.

[0054] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0055] The embodiment of the present application provides a front firewall structure and a vehicle, by placing an air intake device in the middle of the vehicle, thereby reserving installation features for the first installation area and the second installation area, so that the first installation area and the second installation area are symmetrically arranged to achieve a universal design, save a lot of costs, and improve the overall performance of the vehicle. The specific structure of the front firewall structure and the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application is introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0056] refer to Figure 1In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a front firewall structure 100, which may include a front panel 200 and an air intake device 500. In a possible implementation, the front panel 200 may be in a rectangular shape, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the front panel 200, so that the front panel 200 can be adapted to the vehicle. In an embodiment of the present application, the front panel 200 may have a first installation area 300 and a second installation area 400. In a possible implementation, the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 may be symmetrically arranged. The air intake device 500 may be located between the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400, so that the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 are symmetrically arranged with the air intake device 500 as the center. It is understandable that the first installation area 300 may be reserved with a first brake mechanism 310, and correspondingly, the second installation area 400 may also be reserved with a second brake mechanism 410, and the first brake mechanism 310 and the second brake mechanism 410 are symmetrically arranged on the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400. In this way, a universal design of the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 can be achieved, thereby saving the cost of one of the installation areas and improving economic benefits.

[0057] refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 In the specific embodiment of the present application, the first brake mechanism 310 may further include: a first brake base 311, a first brake 312 and a first column 313.

It can be understood that the size of the first through hole 314 may be greater than or equal to the size of the first brake base 311, so that the first brake base 311 can be inserted into the first through hole 314 and then connected to the front panel 200.

[0058] Continue to refer Figure 1On the basis of the above embodiment, a first wire-passing hole 320 may be reserved on the first installation area 300. In one possible implementation, the first wire-passing hole 320 may be located on one side of the first brake mechanism 310, and the number of the first wire-passing holes 320 may be one or more. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the position and number of the first wire-passing holes 320. In the embodiment of the present application, the first wire-passing hole 320 can be used to pass the wire harness in the first installation area 300, thereby facilitating the installation of the first installation area 300.

[0059] Continue to refer Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 On the basis of the above embodiment, further, the second brake mechanism 410 may include: a second brake base 411, a second brake 412 and a second column 413. The second column 413 may be located on the second brake base 411, and the second column 413 and the second brake base 411 may be located on one side of the front wall 200. Correspondingly, the second brake 412 may be located on the other side of the front wall 200. In the embodiment of the present application, the first column 313 and the first brake base 311 and the second column 413 and the second brake base 411 may be located on the same side of the front wall 200, and the first brake 312 and the second brake 412 may be located on the other side of the front wall 200.

It is understandable that the size of the second through hole 414 may be greater than or equal to the size of the second brake base 411, so that the second brake base 411 can be inserted into the second through hole 414 and then connected to the dash panel 200.

[0060] Continue to refer Figure 1 On the basis of the above embodiment, a second wire-passing hole 420 may be reserved on the second installation area 400. In one possible implementation, the second wire-passing hole 420 may be located on one side of the second brake mechanism 410, and the number of the second wire-passing holes 420 may be one or more. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the position and number of the second wire-passing holes 420. In the embodiment of the present application, the second wire-passing hole 420 can be used to pass the wire harness in the second installation area 400, thereby facilitating the installation of the second installation area 400.

[0061] Continue to refer Figure 2On the basis of the above embodiment, the front firewall structure 100 may further include: a third brake 600. In one possible implementation, the third brake 600 may be located at the bottom of the front panel 200. It is understood that the third brake 600 can be used to provide backup braking for the first brake mechanism 310 and the second brake mechanism 410. In one possible implementation, the third brake 600 may be a backup brake, and the third brake 600 may be located at the position where the vehicle longitudinal beam overlaps the front firewall structure 100, so as to ensure that the third brake 600 can be in a common position between the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400. In this way, using any one of the first brake mechanism 310 and the second brake mechanism 410 can meet the use of the third brake 600.

[0062] Continue to refer Figure 1 On the basis of the above embodiment, the front firewall structure 100 may further include: a first brake pedal 330 and a second brake pedal 430. The first brake pedal 330 may be located in the first installation area 300, and the first brake pedal 330 may be connected to the first brake mechanism 310. Accordingly, the second brake pedal 430 may be located in the second installation area 400, and the second brake pedal 430 may be connected to the second brake mechanism 410. In a possible implementation, the first brake pedal 330 may be located below the first brake mechanism 310, and accordingly, the second brake pedal 430 may also be located below the second brake mechanism 410. The first brake pedal 330 and the second brake pedal 430 may also be symmetrically arranged.

[0063] refer to Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 Based on the above embodiment, an interface 210 may be provided on the front panel 200. Figure 1From the perspective of the embodiment, the interface 210 can be provided for the air intake device 500 to pass through, so that the air intake device 500 can be installed on the front panel 200 through the interface 210. In a possible implementation, the interface 210 can be located in the middle of the front panel 200, so that the air intake device 500 can be located in the middle of the front panel 200 through the interface 210. It can be understood that the size of the interface 210 can be greater than or equal to the size of the air intake device 500, so that the air intake device 500 can be inserted into the interface 210 to achieve the installation of the air intake device 500. In a possible implementation, the air intake device 500 can be an air conditioner, and the air intake device 500 is arranged in the middle of the front panel 200. The air conditioner in the related art is usually of offset design and may be installed in the first installation area 300 or the second installation area 400, which will result in that the interface 210 opened for the air intake device 500 in one of the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 cannot be reserved, limiting the versatility of the front firewall structure 100.

[0064] Continue to refer Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 On the basis of the above embodiment, an inner circulation air outlet 220 may be provided on the front panel 200. The inner circulation air outlet 220 may be located on one side of the interface 210, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the position of the inner circulation air outlet 220. It is understood that the inner circulation air outlet 220 can be used to form air circulation inside the vehicle.

[0065] Based on the above embodiment, it can be understood that there are generally two processes in the stamping process for making the front panel 200. Among them, the first process is a forming die, and the second process is a punching die. In the embodiment of the present application, the first forming die of the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 can be of a universal design, while the second punching die is different. In this way, costs can be further saved.

[0066] The second aspect of the present application provides a vehicle (not shown in the figure), including a vehicle body (not shown in the figure) and the above-mentioned front firewall structure 100. The front firewall structure 100 can be located at one end of the vehicle body, and the front firewall structure 100 can be connected to the vehicle body. In a possible implementation, the front firewall structure 100 can be located at the front side of the vehicle body, so that the front firewall structure 100 and the vehicle body together form a complete vehicle.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present application, by placing the air intake device 500 in the middle of the vehicle, installation features are reserved for the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400, so that the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 are symmetrically arranged to achieve a universal design, save a lot of costs, and improve the overall performance of the vehicle. It can be understood that since the first installation area 300 and the second installation area 400 are symmetrically arranged, the installation configuration of the brake mechanism can be performed according to the usage requirements of different regions.
