Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobiles, and particularly relates to an automobile front-end module and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Lightweight, modular and integrated are important trends in the development of automobiles. The existing automobile front-end module is welded by more than 10 steel stamping parts, and then other parts such as a radiator, an engine hood lock, headlights, a wind deflector, etc. are installed on the frame. It has disadvantages such as large weight and long cycle, and cannot achieve modular production and assembly. The required assembly site is large, and due to the large number of parts and long welding and assembly processes, it is easy to cause dimensional errors of the entire front-end module. At the same time, it also increases the weight and manufacturing cost of the whole vehicle, and does not meet the development goals of the lightweight design and energy-saving fuel consumption of the whole vehicle. Therefore, the current front-end modules are mostly integrally injection-molded parts, but mostly multi-layer composite structures with double-layer plates or steel plates inlaid, etc., with relatively high production costs and do not meet the goal of the lightweight design of the whole vehicle.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an automobile front-end module and an automobile. Compared with the existing multi-layer composite structure with double-layer plates or steel plates inlaid, the front-end module can meet the strength requirements for use without setting a composite structure, and at the same time can further achieve the lightweight of the whole vehicle, which is beneficial to controlling the development cost of the whole vehicle and controlling fuel consumption, and further improving the user experience.
