[0036] An automobile bumper is mainly used to absorb and relieve external impact forces and is an essential safety device on an automobile. Components such as a mask, a ventilation net, a water grille, a front lamp housing, etc. are provided on the automobile bumper, and the above components are usually connected to the bumper of the vehicle body. In the assembly process of traditional automobile bumpers, the existing connection between the front lamp housing and the bumper is generally through bolt connection. The method of bolt connection requires screwing multiple screws, which is time-consuming and inconvenient for production, reducing production efficiency. Therefore, the present utility model proposes the following embodiments to solve the above problems.

[0037] The present utility model proposes a connection structure between a front lamp housing 1 and a bumper 6.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 - 8 . Among them, the connection structure between the front lamp housing 1 and the bumper 6 includes a front lamp housing 1, and a buckle 2 is provided on the outer side of the front lamp housing 1; a connecting plate 3, a buckle position 4 is provided on the connecting plate 3, and the connecting plate 3 and the front lamp housing 1 are buckled through the combination of the buckle position 4 and the buckle 2; a connecting strip 5, the connecting strip 5 is arranged on one side of the connecting plate 3; a bumper 6, one end of the bumper 6 is fixed on the connecting plate 3 through the connecting strip 5.

[0039] As shown Figures 1 - 4 in the figure, specifically, the connection structure between the front lamp cover 1 and the bumper 6 includes the front lamp cover 1, the connecting plate 3, the connecting strip 5 and the bumper 6. Among them, the front lamp cover 1 is used to protect the headlamp on the front of the vehicle, and a buckle 2 is provided on the outer side of the front lamp cover 1. A buckle position 4 is provided on the connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3 and the front lamp cover 1 are snap-connected through the combination of the buckle position 4 and the buckle 2. Both sides of the connecting strip 5 are respectively connected to one end of the connecting plate 3 and the bumper 6. The connecting strip 5 is used to fix one end of the bumper 6 on the connecting plate 3, and then the connecting plate 3 is assembled on the front lamp cover 1 through the connecting plate 3. Before installing one end of the bumper 6 on the front lamp cover 1, it is necessary to first fix one end of the bumper 6 on one side of the connecting plate 3 through the connecting strip 5, and then snap the buckle position 4 on the connecting plate 3 with the buckle 2 on the outer side of the front lamp cover 1 to realize the assembly of the bumper 6 and the front lamp cover 1. One end of the bumper 6 in the present utility model is fixed on one side of the connecting plate 3 through the connecting strip 5. When the bumper 6 and the front lamp cover 1 are assembled, only the buckle position 4 needs to be aligned with the buckle 2 and pressed to complete the assembly. The bumper 6 is fixed on the front lamp cover 1 through the connecting plate 3. The assembly of the bumper 6 and the front lamp cover 1 is very convenient and improves the production efficiency.

[0040] Further, the front lamp cover 1 includes a light-shielding cover 101 and a light-transmitting cover 102. The light-transmitting cover 102 is arranged on the light-shielding cover 101. The buckle 2 is arranged on the outer side of the light-shielding cover 101. A groove 1021 is provided on the outer side of the light-transmitting cover 102. The connecting plate 3 and the end parts of the bumper 6 are respectively arranged in the groove 1021. Specifically, the light-shielding cover 101 and the light-transmitting cover 102 are connected by a jack and a plug. A triangular groove 1021 is provided on the outer side of the light-transmitting cover 102. The connecting plate 3 and the end parts of the bumper 6 are both embedded in the groove 1021.

[0041] Furthermore, a notch (not shown) is provided in the groove 1021 of the light-transmitting cover 102. A light-shielding part 1011 is provided on the light-shielding cover 101. The light-shielding part 1011 is arranged in the notch (not shown) and is hermetically connected to the side of the notch (not shown). Specifically, by arranging the light-shielding part 1011 in the notch (not shown), a unique light-emitting surface is formed on the light-transmitting cover 102. After the light-shielding part 1011 is hermetically sealed with the side of the notch (not shown), light leakage from the side of the notch (not shown) can be avoided, the upward scattering of light to affect the driver can be avoided, and at the same time, the entry of external water vapor or mosquitoes into the lamp cover can be avoided.

[0042] In this embodiment, the bumper 6 and the connecting strip 5 are detachably connected to facilitate the later replacement or repair of the bumper 6.

[0043] Further, the connecting strip 5 includes an adhesive strip or a welding strip. The bumper 6 can be adhered to the connecting plate 3 through the adhesive strip or welded to the connecting plate 3 through the welding strip.

[0044] Furthermore, the bumper 6 and the connecting plate 3 are integrally formed, thus saving the connecting strip 5 and reducing the production cost.

[0045] As Figures 5 - 8 shown, in this embodiment, the buckle 2 includes a first elastic clamping plate 201 and a second elastic clamping plate 202. One end of the first elastic clamping plate 201 is connected to one end of the second elastic clamping plate 202 to form a closed end 203. The closed end 203 is arranged on the outer side of the light-shielding cover 101. The other end of the first elastic clamping plate 201 is oppositely arranged to the other end of the second elastic clamping plate 202 to form an open end 204. A first limiting protrusion 205 is arranged on the inner side of the first elastic clamping plate 201, and a second limiting protrusion 206 is arranged on the inner side of the second elastic clamping plate 202. The first limiting protrusion 205 and the second limiting protrusion 206 are oppositely arranged and there is a gap between them. The front end of the buckling position 4 passes through the open end 204 and the gap and abuts against the inner side of the closed end 203. The tail end of the buckling position 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 3. A limiting groove 401 is arranged on the buckling position 4. The first limiting protrusion 205 and the second limiting protrusion 206 are respectively arranged in the limiting groove 401 and respectively abut against one end of the limiting groove 401 close to the closed end 203. Specifically, when the front end of the buckling position 4 extends between the first limiting protrusion 205 and the second limiting protrusion 206, and the buckling position 4 is continuously pushed towards the closed end 203, the front end of the buckling position 4 squeezes the gap, so that the first elastic clamping plate 201 and the second elastic clamping plate 202 are briefly opened outwards. When the front end of the buckling position 4 abuts against the inner side of the closed end 203 and the first limiting protrusion 205 and the second limiting protrusion 206 fall into the limiting groove 401, the first elastic clamping plate 201 and the second elastic clamping plate 202 recover their deformation. And at this time, by the first limiting protrusion 205 and the second limiting protrusion 206 simultaneously abutting against the limiting groove 401, it can be avoided that the connecting plate 3 falls off from the light-shielding cover 101.

[0046] Further, inclined surfaces 402 are respectively arranged on both sides of the end surface of the front end of the buckling position 4 to form a tip. Specifically, the inclined surfaces 402 can facilitate the front end of the buckling position 4 to continue to be pushed towards the closed end 203 when it extends into the gap between the first limiting protrusion 205 and the second limiting protrusion 206, facilitating the quick buckling of the buckle 2 and the buckling position 4 and improving the production efficiency.

[0047] Furthermore, the tail end of the buckling position 4 and the connecting plate 3 are integrally formed.

[0048] In this embodiment, a plurality of the buckles 2 are provided on the outer side of the front lamp cover 1, and a plurality of the buckling positions 4 are provided on the connecting plate 3. Each of the buckles 2 is respectively buckled with each of the buckling positions 4 in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, four buckles 2 are provided on the outer side of the front lamp cover 1, and corresponding four buckling positions 4 are provided on the connecting plate 3. Each of the buckling positions 4 is respectively in a one-to-one correspondence with each of the buckles 2 and is buckled, further strengthening the structural stability between the connecting plate 3 and the front lamp cover 1.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformation made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or any direct / indirect application in other related technical fields shall be included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
