[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile bumpers, and in particular to a bumper assembly. In addition, the utility model also relates to a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Existing passenger cars have a certain amount of storage space in the cockpit or trunk, but outside the vehicle, except for a luggage box on the roof, there is a lack of flexible storage facilities for placing small items.

[0003] For example, the bumpers at the front and rear of the car are only used for decoration, to cover the internal sheet metal of the car body, and to play a buffering and protective role in the event of a minor collision, to protect pedestrians from serious injuries and to prevent serious damage to the sheet metal structure inside the car body. This traditional bumper design is simple in form and function, and cannot meet the modern people's requirements for the diversity of vehicle functions, and naturally cannot meet the above-mentioned people's storage needs for flexible storage of small items outside the vehicle.

[0004] At the same time, since the bumper needs to play a certain protective and buffering role, the bumper will avoid the anti-collision beam. There will be a certain buffer space between the bumper body and the body sheet metal or anti-collision beam. These buffer spaces present an empty cavity structure, resulting in a waste of space and unable to play storage and other functions. Utility Model Content

[0041] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0042] Embodiment 1

[0043] This embodiment relates to a bumper assembly, and provides a structural solution for setting a storage space inside the bumper; an exemplary structure thereof is as follows Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0044] In general, the bumper assembly includes a bumper body 1 with a window 10, a storage box 2 movably disposed inside the bumper body 1, and a locking mechanism 6 disposed between the bumper body 1 and the storage box 2. The storage box 2 has an open state in which it protrudes out of the bumper body 1 through the window 10, and a closed state in which it moves into the bumper body 1 and covers the window 10; and the locking mechanism 6 can be manipulated to lock the storage box 2 in the closed state to the bumper body 1.

[0045] It should be pointed out that, based on the above-mentioned overall design concept, the technical solution of the utility model can adopt a variety of different specific implementation structures, forms or configuration sequences. For example, the above-mentioned bumper can be the front bumper of the vehicle, or it can be the rear bumper of the vehicle. The flip setting of the storage box 2 can be a bottom-opening type or a side-opening type. For the parts required for the implementation of the overall solution but not involved in the above-mentioned overall setting, reasonable and flexible designs can be made with reference to the mature setting means in the field, the actual situation during implementation, etc. The specific implementation scheme described below in this embodiment is only one of the many schemes that can be formed by the above-mentioned various combinations and their changes. In actual implementation, those skilled in the art can make flexible adjustments and improvements in combination with the actual situation. Obviously, the many schemes that can be formed by the combination of the above-mentioned various specific forms and their changes, as well as the specific implementation scheme of this embodiment, are all within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, if Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a connecting frame 11 is provided on the inner side of the bumper body 1, and the connecting frame 11 is located below the window 10. The storage box 2 is hinged on the connecting frame 11; the storage box 2 switches between the open state and the closed state by flipping and moving on the connecting frame 11. At the same time, a locking mechanism 6 is provided on the inner side of the bumper body 1 above the window 10, and is used to lock the top of the storage box 2 on the bumper body 1.

[0047] By arranging the connecting frame 11 below the window 10, it is convenient to arrange the box opening of the storage box 2 upward, so as to facilitate the taking and placing of items. Based on the situation that the hinged part is located at the bottom of the storage box 2, the locking mechanism 6 is arranged above the window 10. The cooperation between the hinged structure and the locking mechanism 6 can firmly fix the storage box 2 on the bumper body 1, and also facilitate the opening and closing operation of the storage box 2. When using the storage box 2, the storage box 2 can be pulled out of the window 10 by tilting or pulling, so that it swings outward; after storing or taking out items, the storage box 2 is pushed back into the window 10, and the storage box 2 is fixed at the window 10 by using the locking mechanism 6, so that the entire storage structure has good structural rationality and convenient use.

[0048] Based on the setting of the connecting frame 11, the bottom of the storage box 2 of this embodiment is correspondingly provided with a connecting arm 220, and the connecting arm 220 is hinged to the connecting frame 11 through the shaft sleeve 3; the lower frame 14 of the window 10 is provided with an opening limiter 140, and when the storage box 2 is fully opened, the connecting arm 220 abuts against the opening limiter 140. Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, during the specific hinged installation, the sleeve 3 can first be passed through the shaft hole 221 on the storage box body 22 and the hinge hole 110 on the connecting frame 11 in sequence, and then the mounting bolt 4 matching the sleeve 3 is screwed onto the sleeve 3, thereby completing the installation of the hinged structure, so that the connecting arm 220 can rotate around the sleeve 3 relative to the connecting frame 11, and the corresponding storage box 2 can also be flipped open or closed.

[0049] Figure 7 and Figure 8 The schematic diagram shows the position of the storage box 2 flipped between the open position and the closed position. The position shown by the dotted line in the figure is the open position of the storage box 2, and the position shown by the solid line is the closed position of the storage box 2. Fig. 9 As shown, a gasket 5 can be provided between the mounting bolt 4 and the shaft sleeve 3 to prevent the mounting bolt 4 from loosening and falling off.

[0050] It can be seen from the above design that the connecting arm 220 is provided at the bottom of the storage box 2. By providing the connecting arm 220 with a reasonable length and a curved structure, the articulation between the connecting arm 220 and the connecting frame 11 can be flexibly realized; in this way, in the process of the storage box 2 opening and closing and swinging with the shaft sleeve 3 as the axis, it can be ensured that the storage box 2 can be in a suitable position and posture when opened and closed. In addition, by providing an opening limiter 140 on the lower frame 14, which abuts and cooperates with the connecting arm 220 that swings outward to the limit position, the storage box 2 can be limited when it is opened to the limit position, so that the storage box 2 that is opened to the full position can be in a stable position and structural state.

[0051] In addition, in the present embodiment, in the left and right directions of the vehicle, two connecting frames 11 are arranged at intervals on the bumper body 1 below the window 10, and two connecting arms 220 are also arranged on the storage box 2 accordingly; a corresponding connecting frame 11 and a connecting arm 220 form a set of hinged structures. At the same time, corresponding to the two connecting arms 220, two opening limiter portions 140 are arranged on the lower frame 14. A connecting frame 11 and a connecting arm 220 that are hinged together form a set of hinged structures, and two sets of hinged structures are arranged at intervals in the left and right directions of the vehicle (also the width direction of the storage box 2), which can make the connection between the storage box 2 and the bumper body 1 more stable, and make the opening and closing action of the storage box 2 smoother and more stable. In the case where two connecting arms 220 are arranged at intervals, two opening limiter portions 140 are correspondingly arranged on the lower frame 14, which can better form support for the storage box 2 in the open state, and the limiting effect is better and the structure is more stable. Of course, the opening limiter 140 has a variety of design forms, which can be a set position on the lower frame 14, a limiter protrusion integrally formed on the lower frame 14, or a buffer limiter block provided on the lower frame 14. The opening limiter 140 of this embodiment is a limiter protrusion provided on the lower frame 14.

[0052] Still Figure 6 Combined with Figure 7 As shown, the storage box 2 of this embodiment includes a storage box body 22, and a panel 21 disposed on the side of the storage box body 22 facing the outside of the bumper body 1; when the storage box 2 is closed, the panel 21 is left outside the bumper body 1 to cover the window 10. The storage box 2 is designed to be composed of two parts, the storage box body 22 and the panel 21, and the panel 21 is left outside the bumper body 1. The panel 21 can play a limiting effect when the storage box 2 is closed, ensuring that the storage box 2 will not slide into the inside of the bumper body 1 as a whole when the storage box 2 is closed; and by designing the panel 21 to be larger than the window 10, the panel 21 can better and completely cover the window 10, ensuring a good look and feel of the outer surface of the bumper body 1.

[0053] Based on the setting position of the panel 21 and the fact that it is still retained outside the bumper body 1 when the storage box 2 is closed, preferably, as Figure 5 Combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a lock bracket 212 can be provided on the inner side of the top of the panel 21, and a locking groove 213 can be provided on the lock bracket 212. Moreover, since the lock bracket 212 is provided to protrude toward the inner side of the vehicle, the locking groove 213 can move to the inner side of the bumper body 1 as the storage box 2 is flipped to the closed state. Accordingly, the locking mechanism 6 of this embodiment includes a driving portion 61, and a locking block that can be driven by the driving portion 61 to move up and down, and the downwardly moving locking block can be inserted into the locking groove 213, so that the top of the storage box 2 can be locked to the bumper body 1. By providing the lock bracket 212 on the top of the panel 21, the locking groove 213 on the lock bracket 212 is plugged and matched with the locking block of the locking mechanism 6, so that the locking of the storage box 2 can be safely achieved; the structure is simple and effective, and it is easy to process and construct.

[0054] Based on the above arrangement, the upper frame 16 of the window 10 of this embodiment is further provided with a guide groove 12, and at the same time, the locking mechanism 6 is provided above the upper frame 16, and the downwardly moving locking block is inserted into the locking groove 213 through the guide groove 12. By providing the guide groove 12 on the upper frame 16 of the window 10, a good guide for the upward and downward movement of the locking block can be formed, so that the locking block can be inserted into the locking groove 213 more accurately and smoothly, thereby improving the action reliability of the locking mechanism 6.

[0055] There are of course many options for the specific installation and setting method of the locking mechanism 6 and its structural form. Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a mounting hole 13 is provided on the bumper body 1, and the driving part 61 includes a driving disk 611 rotatably mounted in the mounting hole 13. The locking block can be directly arranged on the driving disk 611, or connected to the driving disk 611 through a connecting rod transmission. When the driving disk 611 is controlled to rotate, the transmission structure is designed to be able to drive the locking block to move up and down, so that the above-mentioned locking purpose can be achieved.

[0056] The driving portion 61 is in the form of a driving disk 611, which can conveniently realize the transmission of the ground locking block by driving the driving disk 611 to rotate. As for the driving method of the driving disk 611 and the transmission method between the locking block and the driving disk 611, there are many design schemes as mentioned above and pointed out; for example, the rotation of the driving disk 611 can be driven by a motor, and the rotation of the motor can be controlled by remote control, or a groove can be set at the end of the part of the driving disk 611 that is inserted into the mounting hole 13, and the driving disk 611 can be driven to rotate by common tools such as a flat-blade screwdriver 7 with the help of the groove. Of course, the difficulty and authority of the driving disk 611 to rotate and unlock can also be appropriately adjusted according to security requirements. For example, a lock core can be set in the driving disk 611, and a matching key can be inserted to realize rotational unlocking; or Fig.10As shown, a common tool such as a flat-blade screwdriver 7 is inserted into the groove on the driving disk 611 to realize the rotation operation of the driving disk 611.

[0057] As for the locking block, it can be directly set on the side of the driving disk 611. When the driving disk 611 rotates, the locking block can move along the arc and change its position in the up and down direction to achieve the purpose of inserting and disengaging from the locking groove 213. At the same time, the locking block can also be driven to move up and down by a connecting rod mechanism. In this embodiment, the following structural scheme is specifically adopted.

[0058] A mounting hole 13 for mounting the drive disk 611 is provided in the middle of the bumper body 1 above the window 10, and a fixed shaft 17 is fixedly provided on the left and right sides of the mounting hole 13. A first left connecting rod 64 and a second left connecting rod 65 are hingedly provided on the left side of the drive disk 611 in sequence, wherein one end of the first left connecting rod 64 is hingedly connected to the drive disk 611 through a first rod pin 612 fixedly provided on the drive disk 611, and the other end of the first left connecting rod 64 is hingedly connected to the second left connecting rod 65 through a left connecting rod pin 651, and a left connecting rod shaft hole 652 is provided in the middle of the second left connecting rod 65, and the second left connecting rod 65 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 17 located on the left side of the mounting hole 13 through the left connecting rod shaft hole 652, and one end of the second left connecting rod 65 is hingedly connected to the first left connecting rod 64, and the other end of the second left connecting rod 65 is provided with a left locking block 653.

[0059] Similarly, the right side of the driving disk 611 is hingedly connected with a first right connecting rod 62 and a second right connecting rod 63 in sequence, wherein one end of the first right connecting rod 62 is hinged to the driving disk 611 through a second rod pin 613 fixed on the driving disk 611, and the other end of the first right connecting rod 62 is hinged to the second right connecting rod 63 through a right connecting rod pin 631, and a right connecting rod shaft hole 632 is opened in the middle of the second right connecting rod 63, and the second right connecting rod 63 is rotatably mounted on the fixed shaft 17 located on the right side of the mounting hole 13 through the right connecting rod shaft hole 632, relative to one end of the second right connecting rod 63 hinged to the first right connecting rod 62, and the other end of the second right connecting rod 63 is provided with a right locking block 633. At the same time, a main locking block 614 is provided on the side of the driving disk 611, and three locking grooves 213 are respectively opened on the lock bracket 212 corresponding to the main locking block 614, the right locking block 633 and the left locking block 653; the three locking blocks are simultaneously inserted into the corresponding locking grooves 213, which can more securely lock the storage box 2.

[0060] The above-mentioned panel 21 can of course be an integral structure, or integrally formed on the storage box body 22. However, in this embodiment, the panel 21 includes an inner lining plate 211 integrally formed on the storage box body 22, and an outer trim plate 210 covering the outer side of the inner lining plate 211. The panel 21 is designed to be an outer trim plate 210 and an inner lining plate 211. The inner lining plate 211 and the storage box body 22 are integrally formed by injection molding, which can form a box structure well, and the inner cavity of the box body forms a space for placing objects; and the outer trim plate 210 can be made of other materials with better decorative effects, thereby improving the overall appearance of the bumper body 1.

[0061] In addition, if Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, in this embodiment, the edge parts of both sides of the inner lining plate 211 are respectively provided with closing limit parts 214. When the storage box 2 is closed, the closing limit parts 214 abut against the side frame 15 of the window 10 on the corresponding side. The closing limit parts 214 are provided at the left and right edge parts of the inner lining plate 211. Through the abutment and cooperation between the closing limit parts 214 and the side frame 15 of the window 10, the storage box 2 can be well closed and limited, so that the structure of the closed storage box 2 is more stable, and the storage box 2 is prevented from shaking relative to the bumper body 1. Of course, the closing limit part 214 can adopt a variety of structural forms, which can be a plate body integrally formed on the inner lining plate 211, or a convex block; preferably, a plate body structure can be adopted; at the same time, it is preferred to set a buffer pad at the abutment and cooperation part of the closing limit part 214 or the side frame 15 to prevent the closing limit part 214 from hard contact with the side frame 15, eliminate abnormal noise and increase the buffer effect.

[0062] It should also be noted that the frames around the window 10 (including the upper frame 16, the lower frame 14, and the side frames 15 on the left and right sides) can be flush with other areas of the bumper body 1, or can be set downwardly relative to the outer surface of the bumper body 1 and facing the inner side of the vehicle. The frame of this embodiment is a downwardly set structure, and the size of the panel 21 is consistent with the size of the sinking groove formed by the frame; after the storage box 2 is closed, the panel 21 can be partially stored in the sunken groove formed by the frame of the window 10.

[0063] In summary, the bumper assembly of the present embodiment has a window 10 formed on the bumper body 1 and a storage box 2 disposed on the inner side of the bumper body 1. The storage box 2 can be moved to the outside of the bumper body 1 through the window 10, so that people can store items in the storage box 2. After the items are placed, the storage box 2 can be closed and the window 10 can be covered with the storage box 2. This allows people to flexibly store some small-sized items outside the vehicle by opening the storage box 2, thereby providing a structural solution for setting a storage space on the inner side of the bumper. In addition, by disposing a locking mechanism 6 between the bumper body 1 and the storage box 2, the storage box 2 in a closed state can be reliably locked on the bumper body 1, preventing others from arbitrarily opening the storage box 2 to take away items, and also ensuring the firmness of the connection between the storage box 2 in a closed state and the bumper body 1, preventing the storage box 2 from opening automatically under the vibration of the vehicle.

[0064] Embodiment 2

[0065] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, on which the bumper assembly provided in the first embodiment is provided.

[0066] The bumper of the vehicle adopts the bumper assembly structure of the utility model, so that the bumper can have a storage function. And as mentioned above, the above structure can be set on the rear bumper or the front bumper; taking the rear bumper as an example, a window 10 can be set at the license plate position of the rear bumper, and the license plate can be installed on the outer trim 210 of the storage box 2, or directly installed on the inner lining plate 211 instead of the outer trim 210.

[0067] In this way, a good storage space is formed inside the rear bumper, where users can place items as needed without occupying the space inside the vehicle; after the locking mechanism 6 is installed, the storage space is self-locking and difficult to open without tools, ensuring the safety of the storage space and preventing items from falling during driving, thereby providing customers with a good user experience.

[0068] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The detailed explanation of the configuration, the examples of the specific structural setting, or the description of the assembly connection method, etc., are all for the purpose of full disclosure so that those skilled in the art can better implement the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
