[0026] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0027] In this application, "X", "Y" and "Z" should be understood as the directions of the figure marks. Combined with the actual vehicle, it can be understood that the "X" direction is the front and rear length direction of the vehicle, the "Y" direction is the left and right width direction of the vehicle, and the "Z" direction is the up and down height direction of the vehicle.

[0028] Please also read Figures 1 to 3 Now, the grille mounting plate assembly provided by the utility model is described. The grille mounting plate assembly includes two mounting plate bodies 10, which are mirror-imaged along the central axis in the width direction of the vehicle body; the mounting plate body 10 includes a vertically extending support portion 11, and a first connecting portion 12 and a second connecting portion 13; wherein the first connecting portion 12 extends backward at the top end of the support portion 11 and connects to the front frame 20, and the second connecting portion 13 extends forward at the bottom end of the support portion 11 and connects to the front bumper 30; an accommodating space 40 is formed between the support portion 11 and the front bumper 30 above the second connecting portion 13, and the accommodating space 40 is used to arrange the front center lamp 50.

[0029] It should be noted that the front end frame 20 refers to a bracket located in the engine compartment at the front end of the vehicle for fixing the water tank. The grille mounting plate assembly provided in this embodiment is developed for through-type front headlight models, and is also applicable to models with conventional independent headlights on both sides; for through-type front headlights, they usually include two front side lights 60 separated on the left and right and a front center light 50 connected between the two front side lights 60, thereby forming an integral through-light in the width direction of the front of the vehicle. The front headlight can be connected to the support portion 11, or to the second connection portion 13, or the front headlight can be connected to the support portion 11 and the second connection portion 13 together; it should be explained that the front headlight and the front bumper 30 can be completely fixed based on the grille mounting plate assembly, or the grille mounting plate can provide some mounting points, and the front end frame 20 can provide some mounting points.

[0030] In this embodiment, the two mounting plate bodies 10 can be an integrated structure in addition to the above-mentioned split structure, especially for vehicles with non-through-type front lights. The first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 extend forward and backward at the upper and lower ends of the vertically extending support portion 11, respectively, so that the mounting plate body 10 presents a "Z"-shaped structure, thereby having sufficient Z-direction support strength in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring that it is easier to bend and deform in the X direction, ensuring that when a vehicle collides with a pedestrian, the X-direction impact force transmitted to the mounting plate body 10 can cause the mounting plate body 10 to bend or collapse to buffer energy, thereby improving pedestrian safety protection performance.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the grille mounting plate assembly provided in the present embodiment adopts a mirror-image arrangement of two mounting plate bodies 10, and the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 of the mounting plate body 10 are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the supporting portion 11 thereof and extend in opposite directions, so that a receiving space 40 suitable for accommodating the front center lamp 50 can be formed between the front bumper 30 installed on the second connecting portion 13 and the supporting portion 11, thereby satisfying the installation layout requirements of the through-type front lamp. The mounting body has a vertically extending supporting portion 11; the vertical extension of the supporting portion 11 can not only improve the Z-direction support strength, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the front bumper 30 and the front lamp, and improving the DTS index of the front part of the vehicle, but also because the X-direction support stiffness of the vertically extending supporting portion 11 is small, it can improve the pedestrian safety protection performance and ensure the pedestrian safety protection performance of the vehicle collision.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The support portion 11 and the joint position between the support portion 11 and the second connection portion 13 are provided with a reinforcement structure 110 ; the second connection portion 13 has a weakened area 130 at a middle position along the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0033] The reinforcing structure 110 may be a vertical rib or an attached plate, and the weakened area 130 may be a thinned or grooved structure. Here, by arranging the reinforcing structure 110 on the supporting portion 11, that is, the second connecting portion 13 combined with the supporting portion 11, the Z-direction supporting strength of the mounting plate body 10 can be improved. At the same time, by arranging the weakened area 130 on the second connecting portion 13, the X-direction stiffness of the second supporting portion 11 can be reduced. When a pedestrian collision occurs, the second connecting portion 13 can be subjected to force and collapse to buffer the impact force, thereby improving the pedestrian safety protection performance.

[0034] As a specific form of the above-mentioned reinforcement structure 110, please refer to Figure 2 The reinforcing structure 110 includes a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 1101 and a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 1102, each of the first reinforcing ribs 1101 is spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body on the front wall of the supporting portion 11, and the first reinforcing ribs 1101 extend vertically, each of the second reinforcing ribs 1102 is spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body on the second connecting portion 13, and each of the second reinforcing ribs 1102 is respectively connected to the bottom end of one of the first reinforcing ribs 1101; the weakened area 130 is a weight-reducing groove opened in the second connecting portion 13.

[0035] The connection between the first reinforcing rib 1101 and the second reinforcing rib 1102 can not only improve the structural strength of the support part 11 and enhance the Z-direction supporting capacity, but also the second reinforcing rib 1102 arranged at the joint position of the support part 11 and the second connecting part 13 can improve the connection strength between the second connecting part 13 and the support part 11, and avoid the second connecting part 13 from bending downward under force, thereby avoiding the front bumper 30 connected to the second connecting part 13 from sagging during the bumpy vibration of the vehicle, ensuring that the DTS index of the front part of the vehicle meets the requirements; the weakened area 130 is formed by arranging a weight-reducing groove on the second connecting part 13, which can not only make the second connecting part 13 collapse and deform when subjected to force in the X-direction to buffer energy and enhance the collision pedestrian safety protection performance, but also reduce the weight of the mounting plate body 10, which helps to achieve the lightweight index.

[0036] On the basis of the above, a weight-reducing groove may also be provided on the first connection portion 12, so that the mounting plate body 10 presents an "H"-shaped structure in a top view, thereby enabling the first connection portion 12 to more easily collapse and deform when subjected to X-direction force in a collision, thereby improving the collision pedestrian safety protection performance and promoting structural lightweighting.

[0037] For some possible implementations, see Figure 2 and Figure 4The second connecting portion 13 forms a first mounting base 131 and a second mounting base 132 on both sides of the weakened area 130 respectively; wherein the first mounting base 131 is close to the central axis in the width direction of the vehicle body and is at least partially exposed to the front side light 60, and a front bumper fastening hole 1311 is provided on the first mounting base 131, and the front bumper fastening hole 1311 is fastened and connected to the front bumper 30 along the Z direction, and a clamping structure 1321 is provided on the second mounting base 132, and the clamping structure 1321 is clamped to the front bumper 30 along the X direction.

[0038] It should be noted that, for a through-type front headlight vehicle model, due to the large width of the two front side lights 60, part of the connection points of the front bumper 30 will be blocked after installation, resulting in the blocked connection points of the front bumper 30 being unable to be screwed and fixed to the mounting plate body 10. In this embodiment, a front bumper fastening hole 1311 is provided on the first mounting base 131 exposed outside the front side lights 60, and a clamping structure 1321 is provided on the second mounting base 132 blocked by the front side lights 60. During assembly, the two front side lights 60 are first installed, and then the front bumper 30 is clamped to the clamping structures 1321 on the two second mounting bases 132 along the X direction, and is screwed and fixed to the front bumper 30 through the exposed front bumper fastening hole 1311. Finally, the front center light 50 is inserted downward between the two front side lights 60. This can greatly reduce the difficulty of assembling the front components of the through-type front headlight vehicle model.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned snap-in structure 1321 can be a slot 1322 arranged on the second mounting base 132 and extending along the X direction, a convex rib 1323 is arranged on the slot wall of the slot 1322, an insert rib 31 is arranged on the front bumper 30, and a snap-in hole 32 is arranged at the end of the insert rib 31. During installation, the insert rib 31 is aligned with the slot 1322, and the convex rib 1323 is inserted into the snap-in hole 32 during the insertion process, thereby realizing snap-in fixation.

[0040] Specifically, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the first mounting base 131 is exposed at the position of the front side lamp 60 and is provided with a support 1312 protruding upward, and the support 1312 is used to support the front center lamp 50 in the Z direction. It should be understood that the supports 1312 on the two mounting plate bodies 10 are respectively used to support the two ends of the front center lamp 50. By supporting the front center lamp 50, not only can the consistency of the installation gap between the front center lamp 50 and the front bumper 30 be ensured, and the DTS index of the front part of the vehicle is improved, but also the front center lamp 50 can be prevented from sagging when the vehicle is bumped and vibrated, and the connection stability of the front center lamp 50 is improved.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the first connecting portion 12 is provided with frame connecting holes 121 on both sides along the width direction of the vehicle body, and the frame connecting holes 121 are used to connect with the front end frame 20 in the Z direction. The first connecting portion 12 is provided with a pre-installed pin 122 near one of the frame connecting holes 121, and the pre-installed pin 122 is plugged into and matched with the front end frame 20 along the X direction.

[0042] By setting the pre-installed pin 122, during assembly, the pre-installed pin 122 can be first plugged into the front end frame 20 along the X direction for pre-installation positioning, and then screwed and fixed using the frame connection hole 121. This can not only reduce the difficulty of assembly, but also improve the assembly accuracy, thereby ensuring that the DTS indicators of the front bumper 30 and the front headlights connected to the mounting plate body 10 are achieved.

[0043] It should be noted that see Figure 2 In this embodiment, the top ends of the two mounting plate bodies 10 on the side where the supporting parts 11 are close to each other are provided with side lamp fastening holes 111, and the side lamp fastening holes 111 are fastened and connected with the front side lamp 60 along the X direction. The side lamp fastening holes 111 are arranged on the supporting parts 11, and the high Z-direction supporting strength of the supporting parts 11 can be used to improve the connection stability of the front side lamp 60, and prevent the front side lamp 60 from sagging downward.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, the support portion 11 is provided with a positioning pin 112 near the side lamp fastening hole 111, and the positioning pin 112 is plugged and matched with the front side lamp 60 along the X direction. The positioning pin 112 can improve the installation position accuracy of the front side lamp 60, thereby ensuring that the gap and surface difference between the front side lamp 60 and the front center lamp 50 and the front bumper 30 meet the DTS index requirements of the front part of the vehicle, and also help to improve the installation stability of the front side lamp 60.

[0045] For example, see Figure 2 In some embodiments, a hood lock connection seat 113 is provided on the side where the supporting parts 11 of the two mounting plate bodies 10 are close to each other. The hood lock is connected together with the hood lock connection seats 113 of the two mounting plate bodies 10, which not only provides an installation base for the hood lock, but also can connect the two mounting plate bodies 10 into one through the hood lock, thereby improving the overall structural stability.

[0046] Based on the same inventive concept, combined Figures 1 to 6 It is understood that an embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned grille mounting plate assembly.

[0047] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle provided in this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned grille mounting plate assembly, which can not only improve the Z-direction support strength, thereby ensuring the installation stability of the front bumper 30 and the front headlights and improving the DTS index of the front of the vehicle, but also because the X-direction support stiffness of the vertically extending support part 11 is small, it can improve the pedestrian safety protection performance and ensure the vehicle collision pedestrian safety protection performance.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
