The protective beam body is not easily deformed under external forces, and its protective performance is increased. Moreover, when the front end face of the protective beam body deforms and collapses backward, due to the structure of the arc plate of the support and reinforcement assembly, the middle ends of the two arc plates are bent and close to each other along their shapes, so that the two fixing blocks approach each other, squeezing the first buffer spring, so as to slowly release the external impact force. When the external impact force is transmitted to the energy absorption box body, when the energy absorption box body collapses backward, it drives the step-by-step buffer assembly to work, and buffers the external impact force again. Finally, when the external impact force is transmitted to the frame body, the external impact force is slowly released and absorbed multiple times, so that its impact resistance in the front-end collision is better and the protective performance is more excellent.

[0018] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, the automobile water tank frame includes a frame main body 1. Mounting brackets 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame main body 1. An energy absorption box body 3 is arranged on the front end face of the mounting bracket 2. A protective beam body 4 connected to the two energy absorption box bodies 3 is arranged on the front end faces of the two energy absorption box bodies 3. The protective beam body 4 is located at the front end of the frame main body 1 and intercepts and resists external impacts first. By the deformation resistance of the protective beam body 4 and the energy absorption box body 3, the external impact force is released and then transmitted to the frame main body 1. A plurality of support and strengthening components are uniformly arranged along the length direction inside the protective beam body 4. The support and strengthening components are located between the front and rear end faces inside the protective beam body 4 and form a support, increasing the structural strength and rigidity of the protective beam body 4. When the front end face of the protective beam body 4 collapses backward, the support and strengthening components form a support for it, reducing its backward deformation degree, increasing its anti-deformation ability and protective performance.

[0020] The support and strengthening components include arc plates 501 symmetrically arranged inside the protective beam body 3, and support feet 502 arranged at both ends of the arc plates 501. The open ends of the two arc plates 501 face both sides of the protective beam body 4, and the two arc plates 501 are arranged at intervals. The two support feet 502 are respectively connected to the front end face and the rear end face inside the protective beam body 4. Fixed blocks 503 are symmetrically arranged between the two arc plates 501. A first buffer spring 504 is sleeved between the two fixed blocks 503. A spacing that is wide at both ends and narrow in the middle is formed between the two arc plates 501. When the protective beam body 4 deforms, the arc plates 501 will bend due to their arc-shaped structure to resist and release the impact force, and the two arc plates 501 will approach each other due to the bending, driving the fixed blocks 503 to approach and squeezing the first buffer spring 504 to cause it to undergo elastic deformation, so as to further release the external impact force and perform multiple resistance and buffering, making its protective performance better.

[0021] The energy absorbing box body 3 is provided with a collapse hole for the energy absorbing box body 3 to deform in a predetermined direction and release the impact force slowly. A step-by-step buffering assembly is arranged inside the energy absorbing box body 3. The free end of the step-by-step buffering assembly is connected to the rear end face of the protective beam body 4. The step-by-step buffering assembly comprises a collision head 601, a guide cylinder 602, an axle rod 603, a pressure block 604, a second buffer spring 605 and a third buffer spring 606. The guide cylinder 602 is arranged on the rear end face inside the energy absorbing box body 3. The collision head 601 is arranged inside the energy absorbing box body 3 and is located on the rear end face of the protective beam body 4. The collision head 601 and the guide cylinder 602 are on the same central axis. One end of the axle rod 603 is connected to the rear end face of the collision head 601, and the other end extends to the inside of the guide cylinder 602. The pressure block 604 is arranged on the axle rod 603 inside the guide cylinder 602 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide cylinder 602. The second buffer spring 605 is arranged on the pressure block 604. Between the block 604 and the inner wall of the guide cylinder 602, the third buffer spring 606 is sleeved on the shaft rod 603 outside the guide cylinder 602, one end of the third buffer spring 606 is connected to the rear end surface of the impacted head 601, and the other end is connected to the front end surface of the guide cylinder 602. The protective beam body 4 collapses backward, driving the energy absorbing box body 3 to deform, driving the impacted head 601 to move toward one end of the guide cylinder 602, driving the shaft rod 603 to slide inside the guide cylinder 602, squeezing the third buffer spring 606, causing it to deform to relieve the external impact force, and the pressure block 604 moves inside the guide cylinder 602 with the shaft rod 603, squeezing the second buffer spring 605 to further relieve the external impact force, and finally transmitting it to the frame body 1. The mutual cooperation between them allows the external impact force to be absorbed through multiple releases, so that the impact resistance and protection performance in the front-end collision are better.

[0022] Preferably, a through hole 101 is provided on the frame body 1 behind the protection beam body 4 .

[0023] Preferably, an upper interception plate 7 is spaced apart above the protective beam body 4, and mounting blocks 701 fixedly connected to the front end face of the frame body 1 are arranged on both sides of the rear end face of the upper interception plate 7. The upper interception plate 7 and the protective beam body 4 are parallel to each other. The upper interception plate 7 cooperates with the protective beam body 4 to increase the protection area and prevent external impact from directly passing through the through hole 101 and directly acting on the components at the rear.

[0024] Preferably, a plurality of interconnected rectangular reinforcing ribs 8 are arranged along the length direction of the front end face of the upper intercepting plate 7. An X-shaped reinforcing rib 9 arranged in a cross shape is provided inside the rectangular reinforcing rib 8. Two ends of the X-shaped reinforcing rib 9 are respectively connected to four corners of the rectangular reinforcing rib 8. The X-shaped reinforcing rib 9 forms four triangular stable structures inside the rectangular reinforcing rib 8. They cooperate with each other to increase the wall thickness of the upper intercepting plate 7 under the same projected area, increase its structural strength and rigidity, and make its impact resistance and protection performance better. The protection beam body 4 and the upper intercepting plate 7 are in the same plane, and there is a spaced space between the rear end faces of the protection beam body 4 and the upper intercepting plate 8 and the frame main body. The spaced space provides space for the deformation of the upper intercepting plate 7 and the protection beam body 4 to prevent them from directly acting on the frame main body 1 due to collapse.

[0025] Preferably, a vertically arranged connecting plate 10 is provided at the center of the bottom end of the upper intercepting plate 7. The protection beam body 4, the upper intercepting plate 8, and the connecting plate 10 are located directly in front of the through hole 101. The connecting plate 10 makes the integrity between the upper intercepting plate 7 and the protection beam body 4 better, and can transfer the force to multiple places to disperse the resistance when stressed, preventing damage due to excessive stress at a certain place.

Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
