[0031] Specifically, the two shock-absorbing towers 1 are respectively a left shock-absorbing tower located at the left part of the front engine room area and a right shock-absorbing tower located at the right part of the front engine room area, and an extension mounting seat 11 is provided on the right side of the left shock-absorbing tower, and an extension mounting seat 11 is provided on the left side of the right shock-absorbing tower. The length direction of the top bar reinforcement beam 2 is along the left-right direction, and the left and right ends of the top bar reinforcement beam 2 extend into the two first grooves 111 respectively, and the left end of the top bar reinforcement beam 2 is fixedly connected to the extension mounting seat 11 of the left shock-absorbing tower, and the right end of the top bar reinforcement beam 2 is fixedly connected to the extension mounting seat 11 of the right shock-absorbing tower.

[0032] When the body of the automobile is deformed by roll, the external force can be transmitted to the top bar reinforcement beam 2 between the two shock towers 1, and the top bar reinforcement beam 2 will generate a reaction force in the lateral direction to support the front cabin of the vehicle, so that the front cabin area has strong strength and rigidity, offsetting part of the influence of roll on steering accuracy, and improving the stability of the vehicle during driving. At the same time, the two ends of the top bar reinforcement beam 2 are placed in the first groove 111. On the one hand, the first groove 111 can be pressed against multiple outer surfaces of the end of the top bar reinforcement beam 2, with high support strength, which can improve the force transmission performance of the top bar reinforcement beam 2 and improve the connection strength between the top bar reinforcement beam 2 and the shock tower 1. On the other hand, the first groove 111 has a pre-positioning function during assembly, which can improve assembly efficiency.

[0033] In this embodiment, the lower part of the two extension mounting seats 11 is provided with a second groove 112; the first groove 111 is concave downward, and the second groove 112 is concave upward, so that the cross section of the extension mounting seat 11 is "H" shaped.
