[0036] An embodiment of the present application provides a front vehicle body structure. It should be noted that the front vehicle body structure in the present application is an important component of the vehicle body. The front vehicle body structure can protect vehicles and pedestrians from damage during low-speed collisions by using energy-absorbing materials and lightweight materials such as plastics at the front; and can protect the engine and prevent the engine from being eroded by external dust, rainwater, etc.

[0037] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the material of the front body structure is not further limited. For example, the material of the front body structure includes steel, plastic, and silicone, etc., which can meet the processing requirements of different front body structures.

[0038] The front vehicle body structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a front windshield 1 and an A-pillar 2 .

[0039] Specifically, the front body structure 100 is used in a vehicle, and the front windshield 1 provides the driver and passengers with a wide front view, which helps to observe the road conditions and the surrounding environment and ensure driving safety. When driving at high speeds, the front windshield 1 can effectively resist the impact of wind, maintain stable air circulation in the vehicle, and prevent debris, rain and snow from entering the vehicle, ensuring driving comfort and safety. At the same time, the front windshield 1, as part of the front body structure 100, provides additional support and enhances the overall rigidity and stability of the vehicle. The A-pillar 2 is arranged on the left and right sides of the front windshield 1. The A-pillar 2 provides strong support for the front windshield 1, ensuring the stability and safety of the front windshield 1 during driving of the vehicle. The A-pillar 2 is an important pillar connecting the roof and the body. In a collision accident, the A-pillar 2 can absorb and disperse the impact force from the front, reducing damage to the occupants in the cockpit.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a front vehicle body structure 100 , including a front hood end cover 3 .

[0041] In order to better illustrate the front vehicle body structure 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application, the front hood end cover 3 includes a cover body 31 and a first limiting structure 32. The first limiting structure 32 is arranged on the cover body 31, and the cover body 31 is arranged on the lower side of the front windshield 1. At least a portion of the first limiting structure 32 is stuck between the front windshield 1 and the A-pillar 2.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover body 31 is arranged on the lower side of the front windshield 1, which can prevent the front cover end cover 3 from covering the surface of the front windshield 1 and avoid causing a large coverage area for the front windshield 1.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least a portion of the first limiting structure 32 is clamped between the front windshield 1 and the A-pillar 2. The first limiting structure 32 and the left and right side walls of the front windshield 1 form a docking structure. When the vehicle is on a twisting road, friction noise is avoided between the first limiting structure 32 and the front windshield 1, thereby improving the NVH (Noise, Vibration Harshness) effect of the vehicle.

[0044] The front vehicle body structure 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application prevents the front hood end cover 3 from covering the surface of the front windshield 1 by positioning the cover body 31 of the front hood end cover 3 below the front windshield 1, thereby preventing the front hood end cover 3 from covering a large area of ​​the front windshield 1. Furthermore, at least a portion of the first retaining structure 32 of the front hood end cover 3 is positioned between the front windshield 1 and the A-pillar 2, thereby preventing friction noise between the first retaining structure 32 and the front windshield 1 when the vehicle is on a twisting road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's NVH performance.

[0045] The embodiment of the present application also provides a front vehicle body structure 100, in which the first limiting structure 32 is an elastic member, which is interference-fitted with the A-pillar 2 and the front windshield 1, so that there can be a large amount of interference between the first limiting structure 32 and the front windshield 1 and the A-pillar 2, so that the position of the first limiting structure 32 is more accurate and the assembly position of the front hood end cover 3 is more reliable.

[0046] For example, the elastic member can be a flexible member such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), silicone, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), POE (polyolefin elastomer), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer), etc., which has high sealing and durability.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application also provides a front vehicle body structure 100, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The front body structure 100 further includes a front hood and a front hood trim 4. The vehicle includes a front engine compartment. The front hood is located above the front engine compartment and covers the engine. The front hood not only protects the engine from dust, rain, and other external erosion, but also effectively insulates sound and heat. The front hood is typically made of sheet metal and is equipped with accessories such as a locking mechanism and support rods to facilitate opening and closing.

[0048] A front hood trim 4 is disposed below the front windshield 1 and is used to block the gap between the front hood and the front windshield 1, preventing the gap between the front hood and the front windshield 1 from being exposed and enhancing the aesthetics of the front vehicle body structure 100. A front hood end cap 3 is fixedly connected to the front hood trim 4 and further includes a second retaining structure 33. At least a portion of the second retaining structure 33 is positioned below the front windshield 1, further defining the assembly position between the front hood end cap 3 and the front windshield 1 and enhancing the reliability of the position of the front hood end cap 3.

[0049] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The front cover end cover 3 is provided with a buckle 34, and the front cover decorative part 4 is provided with a card seat. The front cover end cover 3 and the front cover decorative part 4 are snap-connected. The connection between the front cover end cover 3 and the front cover decorative part 4 is relatively simple and quick.

[0050] Furthermore, the second limiting structure 33 is an elastic member that is interference fit with the front windshield 1, so that there can be a larger interference between the second limiting structure 33 and the front windshield 1, so that the position of the second limiting structure 33 is more accurate and the assembly position of the front cover end cover 3 is more reliable.

[0051] For example, the flexible plastic parts may be PVC (polyvinyl chloride), silicone, EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), POE (polyolefin elastomer), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) and other flexible parts, which have high sealing and durability.

[0052] Furthermore, the cover body 31 can be made of hard plastic, which increases the hardness and strength of the cover body 31, thereby increasing the hardness and strength of the front cover 3. The cover body 31, the first retaining structure 32, and the second retaining structure 33 are integrally formed, which increases the processing efficiency of the cover body 31, the first retaining structure 32, and the second retaining structure 33, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the front cover 3.

[0053] The embodiment of the present application also provides a front vehicle body structure 100, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The front hood end cover 3 also includes a fender 5, which can play a decorative role and can also protect the engine and front suspension system from external impact and damage during the driving of the vehicle. The fender 5 is usually made of metal plates and is connected to other parts of the vehicle body by welding or other methods. The fender 5 is arranged below the front windshield 1 and the A-pillar 2. At least part of the first limiting structure 32 is stuck between the front windshield 1 and the fender 5. The first limiting structure 32 of the flexible plastic part can have a large interference with the front windshield 1 and the fender 5, so that the position of the first limiting structure 32 is more accurate and the assembly position of the front hood end cover 3 is more reliable.

[0054] The embodiment of the present application also provides a front vehicle body structure 100, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The front hood end cap 3 also includes a front panel 6, which is positioned below and behind the front windshield 1. Located in front of the passenger compartment, the front panel 6 separates the engine compartment from the passenger compartment. It primarily provides sound insulation, heat insulation, and space separation, ensuring passenger comfort and safety. The front panel 6 is typically made of sheet metal and sound and heat insulation materials and is connected to the rest of the vehicle body by welding or other methods.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5The lower end of the front cover 3 is provided with a limit block 35, which extends backward and abuts against the front wall plate 6. When the front cover 3 is assembled, the buckle 34 on the front cover 3 is snapped into the socket of the front cover decoration 4, and the first limit structure 32 and the second limit structure 33 are snapped into the lower side and left and right sides of the front windshield 1. The limit block 35 abuts against the front wall plate 6, so that the second limit structure 33 goes deep under the front windshield 1. The first limit structure 32 can have a large interference with the front windshield 1 and the fender 5. There can be a large interference between the second limit structure 33 and the front cover 3 and the front windshield 1, so that the position of the front cover 3 is more reliable.

[0056] Further, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 There are multiple limit blocks 35, and there are more positions where the limit blocks 35 abut against the front wall plate 6, which increases the reliability of the assembly position of the limit blocks 35 and the front wall plate 6.

[0057] Furthermore, the outer surface of the limit block 35 is coated with elastic material, which can buffer the connection process between the front cover end cover 3 and the front wall plate 6, and avoid damage to the front cover end cover 3 and the front wall plate 6 when the front cover end cover 3 and the front wall plate 6 collide.

[0058] For example, the elastic material can be rubber, TPE (thermoplastic elastomer), foam plastic, foam cotton, silicone and other elastomers, which can have a good buffering effect.

[0059] The embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle. It should be noted that the vehicle in this application can refer to a large vehicle, a small vehicle, a special-purpose vehicle, etc. For example, based on the vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other vehicle types. A vehicle generally has wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate, thereby driving the vehicle.

[0060] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, the type of vehicle power source is not limited. For example, for a fuel-powered vehicle, the power source may refer to a gasoline engine, a diesel engine, or other fuel-powered engine; for an electric vehicle, the power source may refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source may refer to an engine or an electric motor; and for a vehicle powered by other means, the power source may refer to a device that generates power.

[0061] An embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned front vehicle body structure 100 .

[0062] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application utilizes the aforementioned front vehicle body structure 100 and positions the cover body 31 of the front hood end cover 3 below the front windshield 1, thereby preventing the front hood end cover 3 from covering the surface of the front windshield 1 and thereby preventing a large coverage area of ​​the front windshield 1. Furthermore, at least a portion of the first retaining structure 32 of the front hood end cover 3 is positioned between the front windshield 1 and the A-pillar 2, thereby preventing friction noise between the first retaining structure 32 and the front windshield 1 when the vehicle is on a twisting road surface, thereby improving the vehicle's NVH performance.
