Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air intake grilles, and in particular to a conveniently installed automobile air intake grille. Background Art

[0002] Automotive grilles are increasingly performing functions. For example, active grilles, integrated with the front bumper grille as part of the vehicle's thermal management system, close during a cold start to quickly warm the engine, allowing it to reach operating temperature. If the vehicle's temperature becomes too high, the grilles open to dissipate heat quickly. At highway speeds, the grilles close again, reducing wind resistance and improving fuel economy. In short, active grilles serve two functions: thermal management (warming up and dissipating heat) and wind resistance reduction.

[0003] In the prior art, application number 202323153290.7 discloses an easy-to-install active air intake grille for a car, wherein the inner wall of the frame is rotatably connected to a driving rod, the side of the driving rod is fixedly connected to a sealing page, the side of the frame is fixedly connected to a motor, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a rotating rod, a mechanism groove is provided on the lower surface of the frame, the end of the rotating rod away from the motor is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mechanism groove, and the inner wall of the frame is slidably connected to a movable plate; however, the top plate and side plates of the above-mentioned device are fixed structures, which is not convenient in the process of disassembly. For example, the staff needs to match the positions of the air intake grille mounting holes, fixing holes, etc. with the bolt holes opened in the front of the vehicle frame, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the power cable of the vehicle motor connected to the air intake grille needs to be taken in advance for plugging, and the installation operation is not convenient enough. It is necessary to manually pick up the power cable of the vehicle motor after picking up the air intake grille, which is inconvenient to install. Utility Model Content
