[0023] The following description is used to disclose the present utility model so that those skilled in the art can implement the present utility model. The embodiments described below are only examples, and other obvious variations can be conceived by those skilled in the art. The basic principles defined in the following description can be applied to other implementation schemes, variant schemes, improvement schemes, equivalent schemes, and other technical schemes that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The present utility model will be further described in detail below:

[0025] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, it is a front panel structure of an electric vehicle, including a front panel 1 and a bumper bracket 2. The front panel 1 is provided with a through hole 3 penetrating in the front-rear direction, and further includes a front-side connecting bracket 4 provided at the through hole 3. The front end of the front-side connecting bracket 4 is connected to the bumper bracket 2, and the rear end of the front-side connecting bracket 4 is inserted into the inner side of the front panel 1 through the through hole 3, and the rear end is used to be connected to a fixed support 6 on the steering column 5 of the electric vehicle; a first cover 7 is provided at the through hole 3 to cover at least the connection part between the through hole 3, the front-side connecting bracket 4 and the bumper bracket 2. The first cover 7 is a part of the front panel 1. After such a design, the front side of the bumper bracket 2 can be integrated into the front panel 1, and designers can carry out various designs based on this structure. At the same time, the connection of the bumper bracket 2 is ensured, and the structure is relatively compact without generating a large volume.

[0026] Taking the front direction of the electric vehicle as the front side, the rear direction as the rear side, and the left and right sides in the front-rear direction as the left and right directions.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the bumper bracket 2 includes two bumper bars 9, extending from the front end of the front-side connecting bracket 4 to the left and right sides, and the two bumper bars 9 are integrally round tubes.

[0028] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , 2 shown, it further includes a second cover 8 extending along the left and right sides of the bumper bracket 2.

[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 , 2 shown, a first cover 7 is arranged between the starting ends of the two second covers 8 on the left and right sides. The overall assembly composed of the first cover 7 and the two second covers 8 on the left and right sides is a part of the front panel 1. In this way, the bumper bracket 2 can be better hidden or integrated into the styling design of the front panel 1.

[0030] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 ,2 As shown in Fig. 5, the anti-collision frame 2 is provided with two anti-collision bars 9 on the left and right. The front ends of these two anti-collision bars 9 are bent and converge to the front end of the front-side connecting bracket 4 and are fixedly connected with a first fastener 10. In this way, it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing difficulty.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 5 shown, the front ends of the two anti-collision bars 9 are both provided with flat tube parts 11, and the front end of the front-side connecting bracket 4 is provided with a flat plate part 12. The flat tube part 11 and the flat plate part 12 are attached to each other in the up-down direction and are fixedly connected with a first fastener 10. In this way, it has a smaller volume and is beneficial to the connection strength at the same time.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 2 shown, the anti-collision frame 2 is provided with two anti-collision bars 9 on the left and right. The inner side of the second cover 8 is provided with an opening, and the anti-collision bar 9 is sleeved with the inner opening of the corresponding second cover 8 inside and outside. In this way, the anti-collision frame 2 can be better hidden or integrated into the styling design of the front panel 1, and it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing difficulty at the same time.

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 2 shown, it further includes a second fastener 13, and the second fastener 13 fixedly connects the anti-collision bar 9 with the corresponding second cover 8. In this way, it has better connection strength.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 2 、Fig. 6 shown, each side of the left and right of the anti-collision frame 2 is provided with an extension part 14 extending backward. The two extension parts 14 respectively extend to one side of the frame of the electric vehicle, and there is a connecting piece 15 between the extension part 14 and the frame. The extension part 14 and the frame are relatively fixedly connected through the connecting piece 15. As Figure 6 shown, they are fixedly connected through a third fastener 16. In this way, on the one hand, it better supports the anti-collision frame 2, and on the other hand, it is beneficial to reduce the manufacturing difficulty.

[0035] The above are only the illustrative embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the protection scope of the present invention patent are included in the protection scope of the present invention patent.
