Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, especially to a universal automobile front apron for left and right steering. BACKGROUND

[0002] The front apron is a partition plate between the engine compartment and the car cabin of the automobile, which can be fixedly connected with the floor of the frame and the front upright column (A column). The front apron is a large stamping part, and its development will take a long time and increase the development cost. At present, most automobiles are developed asynchronously for left and right steering models, and the installation of other components is not considered comprehensively, so there is a lack of left and right steering universal design for components. Therefore, there is room for improvement. The patent document with the application number CN202321362823.X discloses a universal automobile front apron for left and right steering and an automobile, which includes a front apron lower plate and a front apron upper plate connected to the top of the front apron lower plate. The front apron upper plate includes a left side mounting area, a right side mounting area, and a middle mounting area. The middle mounting area is located between the left side mounting area and the right side mounting area. A component mounting structure is provided on one of the left side mounting area and the right side mounting area, and a mounting space for the component mounting structure is reserved on the other of the left side mounting area and the right side mounting area. This device optimizes the structure layout to ensure that the related mounting brackets meet the translation or symmetry conditions, reduces the development and manufacturing costs of right steering model specific parts, and improves the part universalization rate. However, the translation and symmetry installation design requires that the corresponding fixed structures be provided for the parts that change position on the left and right sides of the front apron. If a symmetrical structure is designed and installed with a modularization, the installation difference between left and right steering can be avoided, and the part universalization rate can be further improved.

[0003] To solve the above problems, we propose a universal automobile front apron for left and right steering. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] The utility model aims at solving the shortcomings in the prior art and provides a universal automobile front apron for left and right steering.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] A universal automobile front apron for left and right steering includes a front apron main body, which is designed in a hollow manner. Two universal installation openings for left and right steering are symmetrically arranged on the front apron main body. A plurality of module fixing trusses are provided on the front apron main body corresponding to the universal installation openings for left and right steering. The two ends of the module fixing trusses are slidably connected to the front apron main body through slide rail pieces. Two fixed slots are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the module fixing trusses. A plurality of fixed holes are arranged in the two fixed slots.

[0007] Preferably, the module fixing truss is fixedly provided with a moving plate member with matching sliding rail members at both ends, and two limiting holes are symmetrically arranged on the moving plate member.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing holes and the limiting holes are all in the form of waist holes.

[0009] Preferably, each automobile accessory in the front wall main body is fixed on a fixing frame, and a plurality of through holes with matching fixing holes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing frame.

[0010] Preferably, the front wall main body, the reinforcing rib, the module fixing truss and the fixing frame are all made of aluminum alloy material.

[0011] Preferably, a reinforcing rib is fixedly arranged in the middle of the front wall main body.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the front wall has the advantages that: the front wall has a symmetrical structure, is provided with two openings for installation and fixation, a plurality of module fixing trusses are slidably arranged in the two openings, each functional component is fixed on a fixing frame, the fixing frame is conveniently fixed on the two module fixing trusses, the whole is modularly installed and fixed, installation differences of the left and right rudders are avoided, the rate of part generalization is further improved, the waist hole design facilitates installation and fixation operation, the overall strength is guaranteed, and the front wall is convenient to use.
