Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of radar bracket installation, in particular to a front parking radar bracket installation structure. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of automobile manufacturing technology and OEMs' demands for bumper shapes, OEMs, in pursuit of aesthetic shapes, have left less and less space on the bumper for the installation of parking radars and parking radar brackets, resulting in increasingly limited assembly methods for parking radar brackets on bumpers. In addition, OEMs have become increasingly strict in controlling bumper manufacturing costs, resulting in increasingly higher restrictions on the assembly costs of radar brackets. The existing technology generally adheres or welds the radar bracket to the bumper. The disadvantage of this installation method is that bonding will increase the cost of the bonding tape, and it is necessary to invest in radar bracket bonding tooling equipment, thereby increasing the equipment cost, and it is necessary to consider shielding the bonding area when painting the bumper to ensure the bonding performance (tape bonding on a bumper with paint mist will reduce the bonding performance and increase the risk of the radar bracket falling off), and the bumper shielding spraying will inevitably increase the manufacturing cost; and welding also requires investment in welding tooling and welding equipment, thereby increasing the manufacturing cost, and welding will also increase the risk of welding mark defects on the bumper appearance surface; in addition, both bonding and welding require a large bonding / welding area to meet the OEM's requirements for the pull-out force of the radar bracket, thereby putting forward assembly space requirements for the shape.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a front parking radar bracket installation structure to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a front parking radar bracket installation structure.

[0005] The utility model provides a front guard parking radar bracket installation structure, the radar bracket is installed on the side wall of the front guard grille, and a front guard skin is clamped and fixed below the front guard grille. The radar bracket includes a grille profiling matching part that contacts and cooperates with the front guard grille and a connecting part arranged on the grille profiling matching part, the connecting part is provided with a card slot, and a matching sleeve for radar installation is installed at the center of the grille profiling matching part, and a first card plate and a second card plate are respectively provided on the front guard grille and the front guard skin, and the first card plate and the second card plate are matched with the corresponding card slots.

[0006] Preferably, the grille contour fitting portion is provided with a first reinforcing rib.

[0007] Preferably, the grille contour fitting portion, the connecting portion and the sleeve are in an integrated structure.

[0008] Preferably, a second reinforcing rib is provided at the connection between the grille contour matching portion and the connecting portion.

[0009] Preferably, the corners of the grille contour matching portion are provided with rounded corners.

[0010] Compared with the related art, the utility model provides the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The integrated structure design of the radar bracket is cleverly connected to the front grille and the front fender skin by snap-on connection. This advanced design concept not only greatly reduces the manufacturing and investment costs, saving a lot of money for the development of the bumper assembly, but more importantly, it completely abandons the traditional welding process, thus completely eliminating the appearance defects that may be generated during the welding process, such as welding marks. This is undoubtedly a huge advantage for automakers who pursue high-quality appearance. In addition, the design fundamentally solves the risk of falling off caused by aging or failure of the tape over time, greatly enhancing the durability and reliability of the product. In general, this innovative design not only improves product quality, but also significantly optimizes manufacturing costs and user experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and implementation modes.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 A front guard parking radar bracket installation structure, the radar bracket 1 is cleverly installed on the side wall of the front guard grille 2. The front guard surface 3 is firmly fixed below the front guard grille 2 by a clamping method.

[0021] In detail, this radar bracket 1 is mainly composed of two parts: a grille-shaped matching part 11 that fits tightly with the front grille 2, and a connecting part 12 extending from the matching part. On the connecting part 12, we carefully designed a card slot 13, which not only enhances the stability of the structure, but also provides convenience for subsequent installation.

[0022] It is worth mentioning that a sleeve 14 that perfectly matches the radar is installed at the center of the grille profiling matching part 11. This design not only ensures the accurate installation of the radar, but also greatly improves the overall aesthetics and practicality.

[0023] In order to further enhance the stability of the entire structure, we respectively install a first card plate 21 and a second card plate 31 on the front guard grille 2 and the front guard skin 3. The two card plates perfectly fit with the card slots 13 on the connecting part 12 to form a solid whole.

[0024] The radar bracket 1 adopts an integrated structural design, and is connected to the front grille 2 and the front bumper skin 3 by snapping. This design not only significantly reduces the manufacturing and investment costs, thereby saving a lot of money for the development of the bumper assembly, but also completely avoids appearance defects that may occur during the welding process, such as welding marks, etc., thereby meeting the strict requirements of automobile manufacturers for high-quality appearance. In addition, this design also completely solves the problem of falling off caused by aging or failure of the tape.

[0025] We have also made full considerations in terms of details. A first reinforcing rib 15 is added to the grille profiling fitting part 11, which greatly improves its structural strength. At the same time, the grille profiling fitting part 11, the connecting part 12 and the sleeve 14 are designed to be integrated, further enhancing the overall stability of the radar bracket 1. At the junction of the grille profiling fitting part 11 and the connecting part 12, we have also specially added a second reinforcing rib 16 to provide additional support for the structure. Finally, in order to prevent workers from being scratched during operation, the corners of the grille profiling fitting part 11 are chamfered 17.

[0026] In general, this front parking radar bracket mounting structure, with its unique design and ingenious conception, not only meets the geometric size requirements of the car body, but also meets the strict standards of automobile manufacturers for the pull-out force of the radar bracket.

[0027] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
