Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle manufacturing technology, and in particular to a front structure of a vehicle and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Related technologies indicate that various pre-assembly techniques are frequently employed in automobile manufacturing and assembly to improve production efficiency and ensure assembly quality. One common technique is the use of rivet bolts (also known as self-tapping screws or expansion bolts) to secure certain components, such as vessel housings (which may refer to fuel tanks, water tanks, or other types of containers) on a vehicle. This practice allows workers to temporarily attach components such as vessel housings to the vehicle body before performing the final tightening operation, thereby simplifying the assembly process and better ensuring the accuracy of the installation position.

[0003] However, in practical applications, due to limitations in vehicle body structure design, it may sometimes be impossible to directly provide mounting points for rivet bolts. For example:

[0004] Space constraints: Some areas may not have enough space to install additional anchor points due to the presence of other important components or for aesthetic reasons.

[0005] Material strength issues: If the material of a certain part of the vehicle body is not suitable for directly bearing the stress brought by the rivet bolts, other solutions need to be found.

[0006] Cost considerations: Adding additional fixing points may involve modifying existing molds or applying new materials, which will increase manufacturing costs.

[0007] When faced with the above situations, the traditional method of pre-hanging the kettle body using rivets becomes impractical. This not only affects the convenience of the assembly process but may also lead to reduced work efficiency. To solve this problem, the industry usually explores alternative solutions, such as using special fixtures for temporary positioning. However, these solutions still suffer from low production efficiency, high production costs, and inconvenience in assembly. Utility Model Content

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-3 A vehicle front structure 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0030] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the vehicle front structure 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a headlight beam 1 and a washer 2.

[0031] Specifically, a first pre-positioned portion is formed on the headlight beam 1, and a second pre-positioned portion is formed on the washer reservoir 2. The first and second pre-positioned portions cooperate to pre-position the washer reservoir 2 on the headlight beam 1. In other words, the headlight beam 1 usually refers to one of the structural components located at the front of the vehicle that supports the headlights. It not only serves to fix and support the headlights, but also strengthens the rigidity of the vehicle body or acts as part of the energy absorption during a collision. The washer reservoir 2 is used to store washer fluid such as windshield washer fluid. The liquid is delivered to the windshield and even the surface of the headlights through a pumping system to help remove dust, dirt and other debris to maintain good visibility.

[0032] It is understandable that a first pre-determined portion is formed on the headlight beam 1, and a second pre-determined portion is formed on the washer 2 to cooperate with the first pre-determined portion. The washer 2 and the headlight beam 1 are pre-connected before assembly through the cooperation of the first pre-determined portion and the second pre-determined portion, which improves the assembly convenience of the front structure 100 of the vehicle.

[0033] According to the vehicle front structure 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting a first predetermined part on the washer 2 and a second predetermined part on the headlight beam 1, the washer 2 and the headlight beam 1 are pre-set, so that only one person is needed to assemble the washer 2, which reduces the assembly difficulty of the washer 2 and the headlight beam 1, improves the assembly convenience, increases production efficiency, and reduces the production cost of the vehicle front structure 100.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the washer fluid reservoir 2 includes a connecting plate 21 and a reservoir body 22. The connecting plate 21 is connected to the headlight beam 1, and a second pre-set portion is formed on the connecting plate 21. This allows the washer fluid reservoir 2 to be securely mounted on the front structure 100 of the vehicle. Specifically, the reservoir body 22 is used to hold cleaning fluid such as windshield washer fluid, and the connecting plate 21 is used to fix the washer fluid reservoir 2 to the vehicle body. The shape of the connecting plate 21 is designed according to the specific structure of the vehicle to ensure that the washer fluid reservoir 2 can be securely connected to the headlight beam 1 or other mounting positions. Furthermore, the first and second pre-set portions ensure that the washer fluid reservoir 2 is accurately placed in the correct position, guaranteeing ease of installation, simplifying the assembly process, reducing installation time and personnel, and enhancing stability by ensuring that the washer fluid reservoir 2 is stably installed and not easily loosened or detached.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3As shown, the first pre-positioned part is formed as a positioning hole 11, which penetrates the upper wall of the headlight beam 1. The second pre-positioned part is formed as a positioning post 213, which is located in the positioning hole 11. It can be understood that the first pre-positioned part is formed as a positioning hole 11, and the second pre-positioned part is formed as a positioning post 213. The positioning hole 11 is suitable for the positioning post 213 to extend into. The cooperation between the positioning post 213 and the positioning hole 11 ensures that the washer fluid reservoir 2 can be accurately pre-positioned in the designated position, avoiding deviations during installation. Furthermore, the pre-positioning of the washer fluid reservoir 2 on the headlight beam 1 reduces the assembly difficulty of the washer fluid reservoir 2 and simplifies the assembly process. The cooperation between the positioning post 213 and the positioning hole 11 restricts the displacement of the washer fluid reservoir 2, improving the overall structural stability.

[0036] Furthermore, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting plate 21 includes a first plate 211 and a second plate 212. The first plate 211 extends along the X direction (typically the lateral direction of the vehicle), and the second plate 212 extends along the Z direction (typically the vertical direction of the vehicle, from the ground to the roof). One end of the second plate 212 is connected to the washer body 22, and the other end of the second plate 212 is connected to the first plate 211. A positioning post 213 is formed on the first plate 211. For example, as shown in the figure, the connecting plate 21 is L-shaped. The positioning post 213 is formed on the first plate 211. The positioning post 213 extends into the positioning hole 11 of the headlight beam 1, realizing precise pre-positioning between the washer bottle 2 and the headlight beam 1. The connection between the second plate 212 and the first plate 211 helps to increase the rigidity of the connecting plate 21 and can better distribute the weight from the washer bottle 2, preventing deformation or damage caused by gravity or other external forces, and ensuring the structural integrity of the washer bottle 2.

[0037] Furthermore, the clearance fit between the positioning post 213 and the positioning hole 11 allows for a certain degree of freedom between the washer fluid reservoir 2 and the headlight beam 1, enabling relative movement while ensuring precise pre-positioning and proper fastening. It also ensures a certain buffer space when the washer fluid reservoir 2 and the headlight beam 1 are fixed, avoiding installation errors caused by deviations in hole or post dimensions, and allowing for self-adjustment within a certain range. This reduces the assembly difficulty of the vehicle front structure 100 and improves the assembly efficiency of the vehicle front structure 100.

[0038] Preferably, the positioning hole 11 is formed as an oblong hole with a size of 7mm*12mm, and the length of the positioning post 213 is 2mm-4mm. For example, the length of the positioning post 213 can be: 2mm, 2.1mm, 2.2mm, 2.3mm, 2.4mm, 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.7mm, 2.8mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, 3.1mm, 3.2mm, 3.3mm, 3.4mm, 3.5mm, 3.6mm, 3.7mm, 3.8mm, 3.9mm, 4mm, etc., and the preferred length of the positioning post 213 is 3mm.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, fixing holes are formed on the second plate 212. The washer fluid reservoir 2 is connected to the headlight beam 1 through the fixing holes by fasteners. Multiple fixing holes are arranged at intervals. Therefore, the fixing holes ensure stable assembly of the washer fluid reservoir 2 and the headlight beam 1, improving the safety of the vehicle's front structure 100. Furthermore, the arrangement of multiple fixing holes further enhances the connection strength and stability between the washer fluid reservoir 2 and the headlight beam 1. By distributing the force through multiple fixing holes, stress concentration is reduced, effectively preventing rotation or movement of the washer fluid reservoir 2 due to a single fastening point, further improving the reliability of the vehicle's front structure 100.

[0040] Furthermore, a reinforcing rib is formed on the second plate 212. The cross-sectional area of ​​the reinforcing rib gradually decreases in the direction away from the body 22 of the pot. In this way, while enhancing the rigidity and strength of the connecting plate 21, the weight is reduced and the material utilization efficiency is improved. The bending and torsional resistance of the connecting plate 21 is significantly improved, the rigidity of the entire connection structure is enhanced, local stress concentration is reduced, and the service life is extended.

[0041] The following will refer to Figures 1-3 The assembly steps of a vehicle front structure 100 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention are described.

[0042] First, place the wash bottle 2 on the headlight beam 1. Insert the positioning pin 213 into the positioning hole 11 to achieve the pre-positioning of the wash bottle 2 and the headlight beam 1. Then, assemble the headlight beam 1 and the wash bottle 2 together onto the vehicle body. Align the fixing hole and insert the fastener into the fixing hole. Once it is confirmed that the fastener is not loose, the assembly is complete.

[0043] The vehicle according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle front structure 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention described above.

[0044] According to the vehicle of the present utility model embodiment, by providing the vehicle front structure 100 of the first aspect embodiment described above, the assembly difficulty of the vehicle is reduced, the assembly efficiency of the vehicle is improved, and the production cost is reduced.
