[0029] The present invention provides a buffer assembly, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The buffer assembly includes a support member 1 and a buffer block 2; a support boss 3 extends from the support member 1; the buffer block 2 is installed on the support boss 3 for fitting with the part to be protected.

[0030] As an example, the buffer assembly is used to provide buffer protection for the part to be protected and can be applied in many fields, such as in the front bumper assembly, to provide buffer protection for the anti-collision beam 5. The buffer assembly specifically includes a support member 1 and a buffer block 2; during installation, the support member 1 is used as an installation reference and is arranged relative to the part to be protected; a support boss 3 is extended from the support member 1, and the protruding direction of the support boss 3 is toward the part to be protected, so as to form a space for installing the buffer block 2; the buffer block 2 is installed on the support boss 3 to fit with the part to be protected; this arrangement utilizes the buffering and energy-absorbing performance of the buffer block 2 to provide effective buffer protection for the part to be protected; the support boss 3 is a part of the support member 1, and the support boss 3 provides support for the buffer block 2. There is no need to add a separate part to support the buffer block 2, so that the buffer block 2 can fit with the part to be protected, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing costs while ensuring the buffering performance.

[0031] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 The supporting boss 3 includes a main body plate 31 and two supporting arms 32 extending from opposite side edges of the main body plate 31 in the same direction; the two supporting arms 32 are connected to the supporting member 1; and the buffer block 2 is arranged on the main body plate 31.

[0032] As an example, the support boss 3 includes a main plate 31 and two support arms 32, and the two support arms 32 extend from the opposite side edges of the main plate 31 in the same direction. During installation, the two support arms 32 are connected to the support member 1, so that the support member 1, the two support arms 32 and the main plate 31 cooperate to form two relatively distributed collapse holes. When the support member 1 is squeezed, the collapse holes can be used to bend and deform the support boss 3, effectively absorbing the collision energy and improving the buffering energy absorption effect of the buffer assembly. The buffer block 2 is set on the main plate 31, connecting the part to be protected with the support member 1. The buffering energy absorption performance of the buffer block 2 can provide effective buffering protection for the part to be protected. The support boss 3 provides support for the buffer block 2. There is no need to add a separate part to support the buffer block 2, so that the buffer block 2 can fit the part to be protected. While ensuring the buffering performance, the structure is simplified and the cost is reduced.

[0033] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the width of the support arm 32 gradually increases along the extension direction.

[0034] As an example, the width of the support arm 32 gradually increases along the extension direction, that is, gradually increases along the extension direction from the main plate 31 to the support member 1, so that the strength of the end of the support arm 32 close to the support member 1 is greater than the strength of the end of the support arm 32 close to the part to be protected. When the support member 1 is collided, the end of the support arm 32 close to the part to be protected will deform first, which can effectively absorb the collision energy and improve the buffering energy absorption effect.

[0035] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fitting surface of the buffer block 2 is 29-31 mm long and 29-31 mm wide.

[0036] As an example, the fitting surface of the buffer block 2 is 29-31 mm long and 29-31 mm wide. In this way, the fitting area between the buffer block 2 and the part to be protected can be adjusted according to actual needs. On the premise of meeting the buffering and energy absorption effect, the size of the buffer block 2 can be reduced to reduce costs.

[0037] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The number of supporting bosses 3 is multiple, and the center distance between two adjacent supporting bosses 3 is 190-200 mm.

[0038] As an example, according to actual needs, the number of support bosses 3 can be set to multiple, and the center distance between two adjacent support bosses 3 is 190-200mm. This can make the connection points between the support member 1 and the protected member more evenly distributed, which is beneficial to improving the buffering and energy absorption effect of the buffer assembly.

[0039] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 A wiring harness mounting point 4 is also provided on the supporting boss 3.

[0040] As an example, a wire harness installation point 4 is also provided on the support boss 3 to facilitate the installation of the wire harness and make the wire harness arrangement more neat and safe.

[0041] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the supporting member 1 is the lower grille, and the member to be protected is the anti-collision beam 5.

[0042] As an example, the support member 1 is the lower grille, and the part to be protected is the anti-collision beam 5. Specifically, a support boss 3 is designed on the lower grille, and a small buffer block 2 is designed on the support boss 3 to fit with the anti-collision beam 5. This arrangement utilizes the buffering and energy-absorbing performance of the buffer block 2 to provide effective buffering protection for the anti-collision beam 5; the support boss 3 is a part of the lower grille, and the support boss 3 provides support for the buffer block 2. The support boss 3 can be processed and formed at one time when the lower grille is processed, and there is no need to add a separate part to support the buffer block 2, so that the buffer block 2 can fit with the anti-collision beam 5, thereby simplifying the structure and reducing costs while ensuring the buffering performance.

[0043] The present invention provides a front bumper assembly, referring to Figure 1-4, including an anti-collision beam 5 and a buffer assembly; the anti-collision beam 5 is the part to be protected, and the anti-collision beam 5 is fitted with the buffer block 2.

[0044] As an example, the front bumper assembly includes an anti-collision beam 5 and a buffer component; the support member 1 of the buffer component is the lower grille; the anti-collision beam 5 is the part to be protected, and the anti-collision beam 5 is fitted with the buffer block 2; specifically, a support boss 3 is designed on the lower grille, and a small buffer block 2 is designed on the support boss 3 to fit with the anti-collision beam 5. This arrangement utilizes the buffering and energy-absorbing performance of the buffer block 2 to provide effective buffering protection for the anti-collision beam 5; the support boss 3 is part of the lower grille, and the support boss 3 provides support for the buffer block 2. There is no need to add a separate part to support the buffer block 2, so that the buffer block 2 can fit with the anti-collision beam 5, simplifying the structure while ensuring the buffering performance and reducing costs. In addition, collapse holes are formed on both sides of the support boss 3, which can not only make the mold simple and convenient to process, but also ensure that the support boss 3 can bend and deform when the front bumper assembly is squeezed with a certain force, thereby achieving a buffering and energy-absorbing effect and reducing costs.

[0045] An embodiment of the utility model provides a car, comprising a front bumper assembly.

[0046] As an example, a car includes a front bumper assembly, which includes an anti-collision beam 5 and a buffer component; the support member 1 of the buffer component is the lower grille; the anti-collision beam 5 is the part to be protected; specifically, a support boss 3 is designed on the lower grille, and a small buffer block 2 is designed on the support boss 3 to fit with the anti-collision beam 5. This arrangement utilizes the buffering and energy-absorbing performance of the buffer block 2 to provide effective buffering protection for the anti-collision beam 5; the support boss 3 is part of the lower grille, and the support boss 3 provides support for the buffer block 2. There is no need to add a separate part to support the buffer block 2, so that the buffer block 2 can fit with the anti-collision beam 5, simplifying the structure while ensuring the buffering performance and reducing costs. In addition, collapse holes are formed on both sides of the support boss 3, which can not only make the mold simple and convenient to process, but also ensure that the support boss 3 can bend and deform when the front bumper assembly is squeezed with a certain force, thereby achieving a buffering and energy-absorbing effect and reducing costs.
