DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] As described in the background technology, radar plays a vital role in detecting the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Radar needs to meet the requirements of dustproof and waterproof to ensure its own functional stability. In the related technology, the vehicle radar is installed on the frame through a mounting frame, and a protective cover is used to cover the outer periphery of the radar to achieve dustproof and waterproof. There is a problem that the installation structure of the radar is relatively complicated.

[0049] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a front panel, in which a radar mounting platform is formed in a local concave portion of the front panel body, thereby realizing a structure in which the radar mounting position is integrated with the front panel. Compared with the radar mounting structure in the related art in which the radar is installed on the vehicle frame through a bracket, the structure is simpler. The separate design of the mounting part and the avoidance part in the radar mounting platform ensures that after the radar is installed at the mounting part on the front panel, the plate structure of the front panel will not structurally interfere with the radar casing, thereby improving the space utilization of the front panel structure, and utilizing the structure of the radar mounting platform itself to play a structural water-blocking and dust-proof role for the radar installed thereon.

[0050] It can be understood that the vehicle's front panel refers to the partition between the engine compartment and the vehicle body, which can prevent the vehicle's collision, causing the components in the engine compartment to invade the cockpit and affect the safety of the passengers. There are many holes on the front panel for the passage of operating wires, pull rods, pipes and wire harnesses, and it also needs to coordinate the installation positions of multiple mechanisms and functional units.

[0051] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0052] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Reference Figure 1-Figure 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a front panel that can be used to be set at the front end of a vehicle body. The front panel body is partially concave to form a radar mounting platform. The radar mounting platform includes a mounting portion 210 and an avoidance portion. The mounting portion 210 is connected to the avoidance portion, and the mounting portion 210 is used to install the radar; the avoidance portion matches the outer contour of the radar to accommodate part of the structure of the radar.

[0054] In this way, by forming a radar mounting platform in the partial inward concave part of the front panel body, the radar mounting position is integrated into the structure of the front panel. Compared with the radar mounting structure in the related technology that is installed on the vehicle frame through a bracket, the structure is simpler. The separate design of the mounting part 210 and the avoidance part in the radar mounting platform ensures that after the radar is installed on the mounting part 210 on the front panel, the plate structure of the front panel will not structurally interfere with the radar casing, thereby improving the space utilization of the front panel structure and utilizing the structure of the radar mounting platform itself to play a structural water-proof and dust-proof role for the radar installed thereon.

[0055] As a possible implementation mode, the mounting portion 210 is a mounting groove, the avoidance portion is an avoidance groove 220, the mounting groove and the avoidance groove 220 are connected, the inner recess depth of the mounting groove is greater than the inner recess depth of the avoidance groove 220, so that the mounting groove can accommodate the radar mounting bracket 500. In this way, through the design of the mounting groove and the avoidance groove 220 with different inner recess depths, an accommodation space is provided for the radar mounting bracket 500, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the front panel.

[0056] It is understandable that the radar mounting platform can be integrally formed on the front panel body by a plastic forming process, and the radar mounting platform 200 can also be connected to the front panel 100 by mechanical connection or metallurgical connection. For example, the front panel 100 includes a main board 110, a side panel 130 and a bending plate 120. The main board 110 is connected to the side panel 130 through the bending plate 120 to form a concave cavity on one side of the main board 110. For example, the main board 110, the side panel 130 and the bending plate 120 are connected by welding, and the bending plate 120 is provided with an installation port 121. The radar mounting platform 200 is connected to the installation port 121, and the radar mounting platform 200 is used to install the radar 400.

[0057] In a possible embodiment, the mounting groove includes a first bottom wall 211 and two first side walls 212, and the first bottom wall 211 is provided with mounting holes 213 at intervals so that the radar mounting bracket 500 is bolted to the mounting holes 213; along the width direction of the front panel, the two first side walls 212 are relatively connected to the two sides of the bottom wall, and can further support the radar mounting bracket 500 structure along the width direction of the panel.

[0058] In another example, the radar mounting platform 200 is welded to the front panel 100, the radar mounting platform 200 includes a first mounting plate, the mounting port 121 includes a first opening 1211, the first mounting plate is fixed to the first opening 1211 to form a mounting portion 210, the first mounting plate is provided with mounting holes 213 at intervals, and the radar mounting bracket 500 is fixed to the first mounting plate by a threaded connector penetrating the mounting holes 213.

[0059] The mounting bracket 500 has a receiving groove 510, and the receiving groove 510 is used to receive the radar 400. Furthermore, the first mounting plate includes a bottom plate and a side panel to respectively form a first bottom wall 211 and a first side wall 212 of the mounting groove. The bottom plate is provided with a mounting hole 213. Along the extension direction of the length of the bending plate 120, the two side panels are relatively connected to the two sides of the bottom plate to close the first opening 1211. The mounting bracket 500 is fixed to the bottom plate by a threaded connector penetrating the mounting hole 213. In this way, through the design of the bottom plate and the side panel, the mounting bracket 500 can be further provided with structural support along the width direction of the bending plate 120, thereby improving the connection stability between the mounting bracket 500 and the first mounting plate.

[0060] In other possible embodiments, along the width direction of the bending plate 120, both sides of the first opening 1211 extend to the main board 110 and the side board 130 respectively. In this way, compared with the method in which the first opening 1211 is only opened on the bending plate 120, the opening design extending to the main board 110 and the side board 130 improves the connection strength between the first mounting plate and the first opening 1211.

[0061] In more embodiments, the avoidance groove 220 includes an arcuate wall 221, which extends along the width direction of the front panel to match the arcuate outer contour of the radar. The avoidance groove 220 can be formed by welding a plate body at the opening of the front panel. Exemplarily, the mounting opening 121 also includes an avoidance opening 1212, which is arranged along the length extension direction of the bending plate 120 and is connected to the first opening 1211; the avoidance opening 1212 is constructed to avoid part of the structure of the radar 400 after the radar 400 is installed on the mounting bracket 500. In this way, after the radar 400 is installed on the mounting bracket 500, the space utilization rate between the radar 400 and the bending plate 120 is improved, and the obstruction of the outer wall of the radar 400 by the part of the structure of the bending plate 120 is avoided.

[0062] In some embodiments, the radar mounting platform 200 also includes a curved cover plate 240, which is connected to the avoidance opening 1212 to form a curved wall 221. The curved cover plate 240 can block part of the structure of the radar 400, thereby providing structural support for the outer wall of the radar 400 facing the avoidance opening 1212 and providing waterproof and dustproof protection.

[0063] In another example, the radar mounting platform also includes a wiring portion, which has a wire hole 231, and the wire hole 231 is connected to the mounting portion 210. In this way, the arrangement of the wiring portion facilitates the lead-out of the radar wiring. Further, the wiring portion is a wiring groove 230, and one end of the wiring groove 230 in the extension direction is the wire hole 231, and the other end of the wiring groove 230 in the extension direction has a through hole 232. In this way, the wiring groove 230 can provide an accommodation position for the radar terminal, thereby improving the space utilization of the front panel and facilitating the introduction of the radar wiring from the outside of the front panel into the vehicle.

[0064] Furthermore, the threading holes 231 are connected to the mounting portion 210 and the avoidance portion. In this way, after the radar is installed on the mounting portion 210, the radar wiring can be led out to the threading holes 231 through the mounting portion 210, or extended to the avoidance portion and then led out to the threading holes 231, making the routing of the radar wiring more flexible.

[0065] On the basis of the above embodiment, it can be improved that the hole wall of the threading hole 231 is provided with a sealing structure, and the sealing structure is a sealing glue layer and / or a sealing ring, so as to improve the sealing performance between the radar wiring and the line slot 230.

[0066] In another example, the wire positioning groove 230 is formed by welding the wire cover 250 to the side panel. Specifically, the side panel is provided with a wire positioning opening 131, and the wire cover 250 is welded to the wire positioning opening 131. Along the extension direction of the width of the side panel 130, the wire cover 250 has relative openings to form the wire threading hole 231 and the through hole 232 respectively.

[0067] In the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a front panel assembly, including a mounting bracket 500, a support frame, and a front panel of any embodiment of the first aspect, wherein the mounting bracket 500 is connected to the mounting portion 210, and the mounting bracket 500 has a receiving groove 510 to accommodate a radar; the support frame is connected to a side of the front panel facing away from the radar, and the support frame abuts against the radar mounting platform.

[0068] In addition to the beneficial effects of the front panel provided by the first aspect, the radar is installed on the mounting portion 210 of the front panel by means of the mounting bracket 500, thereby improving the installation stability of the radar. The radar is accommodated in the accommodating groove 510 of the mounting bracket 500, and the waterproof and dustproof performance of the radar along its own circumference is improved. Moreover, the setting of the support frame offset from the radar mounting platform further improves the installation stability of the radar.

[0069] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 500 is an arc-shaped frame plate, which has an arc-shaped mounting groove 221. The groove wall of the arc-shaped mounting groove 221 fits part of the outer wall structure of the radar 400, which not only provides good structural protection for the radar 400, but also plays a role in dust and water prevention for the radar 400.

[0070] In some examples, the two side panels 130 are connected to both sides of the main board 110 along the length direction thereof to form a cavity between the side panels 130 and the main board 110 , and the support frame 300 is disposed on one side of the cavity.

[0071] The support frame 300 includes a cross beam 310, a reinforcing plate 320 and a reinforcing tube 330. The cross beam 310 and the reinforcing plate 320 are each provided in plurality. The cross beam 310 is fixedly connected to the bending plate 120, and along the length direction of the main board 110, two cross beams 310 are provided on both sides of the radar installation platform 200; the reinforcing tube 330 is connected to the cross beam 310 through the reinforcing plate 320, and the side wall of the reinforcing tube 330 abuts against the radar installation platform 200.

[0072] Such a structural design strengthens the structural stability of the radar mounting platform 200 on the front panel 100. Furthermore, the cross beam 310 includes a first cross beam 310, a bent beam and a second cross beam 310, which are welded in sequence, and the cross beam 310 is threadedly connected to one side of the concave cavity of the front panel 100, so that the first cross beam 310, the bent beam and the second cross beam 310 are respectively arranged at the positions of the main board 110, the bent plate 120 and the side plate 130, thereby fully providing structural support for the front panel 100.

[0073] In another example, the support frame 300 further includes a reinforcing pad 340 , which is connected between the first bottom wall 211 of the radar installation platform 200 and the reinforcing tube 330 to provide further structural support.

[0074] On the basis of the above embodiment, it can be improved that two reinforcing plates 320 are respectively welded to the two ends of the reinforcing tube 330 , and the reinforcing plates 320 are welded to the side walls of the bent beam to further strengthen the support of the reinforcing tube 330 for the radar installation platform 200 .
