[0095] In the embodiment of the utility model, the second trough body 12 can be indirectly connected to other components by connecting the connecting plate 4 with other components, that is, the connecting plate 4 can play a transfer role for the second trough body 12, thereby improving the reliability and convenience of the installation of the water trough assembly 100.

[0096] Specifically, the water trough assembly 100 may further include a third trough body, namely, a rear mounting plate of the water trough. The third trough body may be connected and fixed to the connecting plate 4 , thereby realizing an indirect connection between the third trough body and the second trough body 12 .

[0099] Optionally, a first mounting hole 4211 may be provided on the connecting plate 4, and the first mounting hole 4211 is used to connect the support rod supporting the front hood. In this way, a special bracket separately provided for installing the support rod can be eliminated.

The second plate body 42 can be used to set the first mounting hole 4211 for installing and connecting the support rod, thereby playing a role in supporting the front hood. Since the support rod mainly bears the force in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the first plate body 41 can be parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the stiffness of the connecting plate 4 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle.

[0104] Specifically, the first mounting hole 4211 can be provided in the second plate body 42, and the first mounting hole 4211 can penetrate the second plate body 42 along the extension direction of the second groove body 12.

[0107] Specifically, the connecting plate 4 may also be connected to the vehicle body by welding. A waterproof sealant may be applied to the overlapping edge at the connection between the connecting plate 4 and the vehicle body to prevent rainwater from entering the engine compartment.

[0108] Specifically, the water trough assembly 100 further includes a third trough body. The third trough body may be a retrofit part of the vehicle water trough. The connecting plate 4 may also be provided with a third mounting hole 413. A welding nut may be welded below the third mounting hole 413. The third mounting hole 413 may be used for installing with the third trough body. A sealing foam may be pasted at the connection between the connecting plate 4 and the third trough body to prevent rainwater leakage.

[0109] Specifically, the second plate body 42 may also be provided with a fourth mounting hole for installing parts such as decorative plates and wire harnesses.

[0110] Specifically, the support rod may be a gas strut or an ordinary long rod structure.

[0111] Optionally, the second plate body 42 is provided with a first rib 421 for strengthening the structural strength; the first mounting hole 4211 may be opened on the first rib 421. The first rib 421 may have a strong load-bearing capacity. In this way, the structural strength at the first mounting hole 4211 can be improved, and further the support strength for the support rod can be improved.

[0112] Specifically, the first rib 421 may protrude along the extending direction of the second trough body 12, that is, the first rib 421 may protrude along the left-right direction of the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the normal stiffness of the support rod installation point, so that the first rib 421 can bear the acting force in the left-right direction. The rib height of the first rib 421 can be adjusted according to the force value of the support rod.

[0113] Specifically, the specific position and size of the first rib 421 can be adaptively adjusted in combination with the overlapping relationship of surrounding parts.

[0114] Optionally, the size of the first trough 11 in the third direction is greater than or equal to 80 mm; the first trough 11 has a first connection part and a second connection part, the first connection part is connected to the second trough 12, and the second connection part is used for connecting to the front windshield; the distance between the first connection part and the second connection part in the second direction is greater than or equal to 40 mm; wherein, both the first trough 11 and the second trough 12 extend along the first direction, the first trough 11 and the second trough 12 face each other in the second direction, and the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located intersects with the third direction.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the size of the first trough 11 in the third direction is greater than or equal to 80 mm, which can increase the size of the first trough 11 in the vehicle's front-back direction, making the cantilever of the first trough 11 longer and more likely to deform, thus avoiding becoming a hard point that hinders pedestrian impact; the distance between the first connection part and the second connection part in the second direction is greater than or equal to 40 mm, so that the first connection part between the first trough 11 and the second trough 12 is far from the front windshield, which can increase the crushing space when a pedestrian hits, and the combination of these two aspects can reduce the injury value to pedestrians.

[0116] For example, the size of the first trough 11 in the third direction can be 321 mm, and the distance between the first connection part and the second connection part in the second direction can be 132 mm, or the size of the first trough 11 in the third direction can be 487 mm, and the distance between the first connection part and the second connection part in the second direction can be 105 mm.

[0117] In other cases, the size of the first trough 11 in the third direction can also be 80 mm, 160 mm, 270 mm, 550 mm or 600 mm, etc.; the distance between the first connection part and the second connection part in the second direction can also be 40 mm, 70 mm, 110 mm, 140 mm or 200 mm, etc.

[0118] The water trough assembly described in the embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following advantages:

[0119] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the bracket is arranged between the first trough and the second trough, which can play a role in supporting and strengthening, and can improve the structural strength of the water trough assembly. Since the bracket is in a "U" shape structure and encloses a "square" shaped cavity with the second trough, the bracket has good crushing characteristics, and the bracket is prone to large deformation when receiving impact, which can fully absorb energy, thereby reducing the injury value to pedestrians to protect the hit parts such as the pedestrian's head or body.

[0120] In the third aspect, the embodiment of the present utility model also discloses a front cabin structure, which may include the above-mentioned water trough assembly 100.

[0121] Optionally, the front cabin structure may include a support rod, a front cabin cover, and a hinge 200 for hinging the front cabin cover to the vehicle body; the hinge 200 is adapted to be connected to the support rod.

[0122] In the embodiment of the present invention, both the support rod and the hinge 200 are movably connected, which can hinge the front cabin cover to the vehicle body and can be connected to the support rod. In this way, a dedicated bracket for installing the support rod can be eliminated. On the one hand, the number of parts used can be reduced, making the connection relationship between vehicle parts simpler and improving the convenience of vehicle production and manufacturing. On the other hand, with the reduction of the number of parts, the weight of the vehicle can also be reduced, the manufacturing cost of the vehicle can be lowered, and the cruising range of the vehicle can be increased.

[0123] Optionally, as Figure 8 shown, the hinge 200 may be provided with a second mounting hole 2011, and the support rod is rotatably connected to the second mounting hole 2011, which can improve the reliability and convenience of installing the support rod.

[0124] Optionally, the hinge 200 is provided with a second rib 201 for strengthening the structural strength; the second mounting hole 2011 is opened in the second rib 201. In this way, the structural strength at the second mounting hole 2011 can be improved, and further the support strength for the support rod can be improved.

[0125] Specifically, the shapes and sizes of the second mounting hole 2011 and the second rib 201 may be set with reference to the first mounting hole 4211 and the first rib 421. The connection manner between the support rod and the hinge 200 may specifically refer to the connection manner between the support rod and the connecting plate 4, which will not be elaborated in the embodiment of the present invention.

[0126] The front cabin structure described in the embodiment of the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0127] In the embodiment of the present invention, the bracket is disposed between the first groove body and the second groove body, which can play a role in support and strengthening and improve the structural strength of the water chute assembly. Since the bracket is in a "C" - shaped structure and encloses a "square" - shaped cavity with the second groove body, the bracket has good crushing characteristics. The bracket is prone to large deformation when receiving an impact, can absorb energy sufficiently, thereby reducing the injury value to pedestrians and protecting the impacted parts such as the head or body of pedestrians.

[0128] Fourthly, the embodiment of the present invention also discloses a vehicle, which may include the above - mentioned water chute assembly or the above - mentioned front cabin structure.

[0129] The vehicle described in the embodiment of the present invention may be an automobile, a truck, etc.

[0130] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the vehicle can achieve the beneficial effects that the above-mentioned water trough assembly and the above-mentioned front cabin structure can achieve, and the embodiments of the present utility model will not elaborate on this again.
