[0026] In the prior art, the radiator is usually installed on the cabin longitudinal beam through multiple brackets, and the thickness of the bracket is increased or multiple fixed brackets are added to improve the strength of the bracket. However, this will increase the weight of the vehicle or the number of parts, and special tooling is required for assembly, and the assembly efficiency is low. The present technical solution installs the radiator on the car by providing a front-end module and a mounting assembly, without the need to provide multiple brackets, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, the axial direction of the first mounting hole 3010 is the first connection direction, and the axial direction of the second mounting hole 3013 is the second connection direction, and the first connection direction and the second connection direction are perpendicular to each other; in this structure, the axial direction of the first mounting hole 3010 is the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the axial direction of the second mounting hole 3013 is the front-back direction of the vehicle, and the first connection direction and the second connection direction are perpendicular to each other, so that the upper shock absorbing module 301 can have a certain degree of freedom relative to the left-right and front-back directions of the vehicle.

A gap is formed between the two upper vibration damping blocks 3015 and the two lower vibration damping blocks 3014. Anti-collision blocks are respectively arranged in the gap in the longitudinal direction (relative to the up and down direction of the car). The anti-collision blocks can prevent the inner ring skeleton 3011 from directly colliding with the outer ring skeleton 3012 to produce abnormal noise under extreme working conditions.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower vibration damping module 302 includes a first connection portion 3020, a second connection portion 3021 and a connection cavity 3022 that penetrates the first connection portion 3020 and the second connection portion 3021.

For the application of prior art, it will not be described in detail here. The lower vibration damping module 302 and the connecting part 202 are interference fit to prevent the lower vibration damping module 302 from falling during assembly, and at the same time prevent the lower vibration damping module 302 from rotating during use. A plurality of grooves 3023 radially distributed along the connecting cavity 3022 are arranged on the upper surface of the lower vibration damping module 302 in the longitudinal direction (the up and down direction of the car), which can reduce the contact area with the connecting part 202, reduce the stiffness of the lower vibration damping module 302, and improve the vibration isolation effect.
