[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present utility model, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments in the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] An automotive front grille connection structure includes a front grille body 1 and a front grille frame 2. A lower flange 3 is provided at the bottom of the front grille body 1. Along the length direction of the lower flange 3, a plurality of upwardly extending clamping plates 4 are installed at intervals. A clamping head 5 is installed at the upper end of the clamping plate 4. The clamping head 5 is provided with a first wedge surface 6. A lower flange 7 is provided at the bottom of the front grille frame 2. A plurality of clamping holes 8 that extend upward and into which the clamping plates 4 can be inserted are provided at intervals on the lower flange 7. The clamping holes 8 correspond to the clamping plates 4 one by one. A baffle 9 is installed on the front side of the clamping hole 8, and the upper side of the baffle 9 is inclined backward; A upper flange 10 that cooperates with the front grille body 1 is provided at the top of the front grille frame 2. A retaining edge 11 that extends downward is provided at the front side edge of the upper flange 10. A second wedge surface 12 is provided at the bottom of the retaining edge 11; A plurality of bosses 13 are installed at intervals along the length direction on the front side surface of the front grille frame 2. A plurality of limiting holes 14 into which the bosses 13 can be inserted are provided at intervals along the length direction of the front grille body 1. The limiting holes 14 correspond to the bosses 13 one by one.

[0029] When the clamping plate 4 of the present utility model is inserted into the clamping hole 8, the clamping head 5 on the front side of the clamping plate 4 will cause the baffle 9 to elastically deform forward until the clamping head 5 extends out of the clamping hole 8. The forward-extending baffle 9 will recover its deformation and press the baffle 9 backward, causing the bottom of the clamping head 5 to extend backward out of the clamping hole 8. A plurality of clamping plates 4 on the front grille body 1 are simultaneously inserted into the clamping holes 8 to realize the connection between the front grille body 1 and the front grille frame 2. The lower flange 3 has an arc transition relative to the front grille body 1, and the lower flange 7 has an arc transition relative to the front grille frame 2.

[0030] By inserting the bosses 13 on the front grille frame 2 into the limiting holes 14 of the front grille body 1, the present utility model can realize the up-and-down and left-and-right limiting of the front grille body 1 relative to the front grille frame 2. The bosses 13 of the present utility model can be installed in the grooves on the front side surface of the front grille frame 2 so that the bosses 13 do not protrude from the front side surface of the front grille frame 2. Correspondingly, a protruding portion is provided on the rear side surface of the front grille body 1 to cooperate with the groove on the front side surface of the front grille frame 2 where the bosses 13 are installed. After the front grille body 1 is installed on the front grille frame 2, the protruding portion on the rear side surface of the front grille body 1 will be inserted into the groove of the front grille frame, and the limiting hole 14 is opened on this boss.

[0031] By providing an upper flange 10 on the top of the front grille frame 2 that cooperates with the front grille body 1, the present utility model can realize the up-and-down limiting of the front grille body 1 relative to the front grille frame 2. When installing the front grille body 1 on the front grille frame 2, after the clamping head 5 on the clamping plate 4 is completely inserted into the clamping hole 8, the top of the front grille body 1 will be inserted between the upper flange 10 and the retaining edge 11.

[0032] When the utility model is installed, the front grille body 1 can be first placed on the front side of the front grille skeleton 2, and at the same time, the front grille body 1 and the front grille skeleton 2 are arranged in parallel. At the same time, the bosses 13 on the front grille skeleton 2 and the limit holes 14 on the front grille body 1 are arranged staggeredly. Then, the front grille body 1 is moved upward. As the front grille body 1 moves upward, the clamping heads 5 on the clamping plate 4 gradually insert into the clamping holes 8 on the lower turned edge 3 of the body, and the clamping heads 5 push the baffle 9 on one side of the clamping hole 8 forward to elastically deform. At the same time, the clamping plate 4 will also elastically deform backward to a certain extent. As the front grille body 1 moves upward, the top of the front grille body 1 will first contact the second wedge surface 12 on the lower side of the retaining edge 11, and act on the retaining edge 11 to generate forward elastic deformation, and the top of the front grille body 1 generates backward elastic deformation. Finally, the top of the front grille body 1 is inserted between the upper turned edge 10 of the skeleton and the retaining edge 11 along the second wedge surface 12. When the bosses 13 on the front grille skeleton 2 are completely inserted into the limit holes 14 of the front grille body 1, the clamping heads 5 of the clamping plate 4 will completely extend out of the clamping holes 8, and the baffle 9 that extends forward will recover its deformation and press the baffle 9 backward, so that the bottom of the clamping head 5 extends backward out of the clamping hole 8. The top surface of the front grille body 1 is inserted between the upper turned edge and the retaining edge 11, and the insertion of the top of the front grille body 1 between the turned edge and the retaining edge 11 can well limit the forward and backward movement of the front grille body 1.

[0033] Ten clamping plates 4 are installed at intervals along the length direction of the lower turned edge 3 of the body, and ten clamping holes 8 for inserting the clamping plates 4 are arranged at intervals on the lower turned edge 7 of the skeleton.

[0034] Four bosses 13 are installed at intervals along the length direction of the front side of the front grille skeleton 2, and four limit holes 14 for inserting the bosses 13 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the front grille body 1.

[0035] A plurality of upwardly extending fixing platforms 15 are installed at intervals along the length direction of the lower turned edge 3 of the body. A fixing platform threaded hole 16 is opened on the top surface of the fixing platform 15. A plurality of fixing grooves 17 for inserting the fixing platforms 15 are provided on the lower turned edge 7 of the skeleton. The fixing grooves 17 correspond to the fixing platforms 15 one by one. A skeleton fixing hole 18 is opened at the top of the fixing groove 17. The fixing platform threaded hole 16 and the skeleton fixing hole 18 are connected and fixed by bolts.

[0036] After the front grille body 1 is assembled to the front grille skeleton 2, the utility model finally realizes the further fixation of the front grille body 1 and the front grille skeleton 2 through bolts, making the fixation between the front grille body 1 and the front grille skeleton 2 more firm.

[0037] Four upwardly extending fixing platforms 15 are installed at intervals along the length direction of the lower turned edge 3 of the body. Four fixing grooves 17 for inserting the fixing platforms 15 are provided on the lower turned edge 7 of the skeleton.

[0038] The boss 13 is provided with a central hole 19.
