Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle front face positioning technology, specifically to a vehicle front face positioning structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in vehicle assembly, the front end is usually the most direct perception of quality for users when purchasing a car. The front end area includes components such as the bumper, grille, headlights, and fenders. Existing technologies typically use connecting brackets and bolts to connect these components. However, each component has its own dimensional deviation range. When the deviation range between the initially connected components does not meet the requirements, it not only increases the difficulty of installing subsequent components but may also require disassembly and reinstallation, increasing the workload for operators and reducing their installation efficiency. To address these issues, we propose a front end positioning structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] The present invention aims to provide a front-end positioning structure for vehicles to solve the problem of deviations in component installation that fail to meet requirements.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a front-end positioning structure for a vehicle, including a grille, a bumper, and two sets of front-end accessories. Several first fasteners are provided between the grille and the bumper. The grille is positioned on the upper end of the bumper via these first fasteners. Two sets of front-end accessories are symmetrically positioned on both sides of the grille. The front-end accessories include headlights, fenders, and decorative panels. Several clips are provided at the end of the headlights near the grille and the end near the bumper. The grille and bumper can be engaged with these clips. A positioning component is provided at the rear end of the headlights. The fenders are mounted to the side wall of the headlights via the positioning component. Several second fasteners are provided at the end of the headlights away from the grille. The decorative panels are mounted to the side wall of the headlights via these second fasteners.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: The relative displacement of the headlights and bumper is restricted by several first fasteners, ensuring the gap and surface difference between the grille and bumper. The fender's position on the headlights is restricted by positioning components, ensuring its constant state and thus guaranteeing the gap and surface difference between the headlights and fenders. The headlights are connected to the bumper by several clips, further restricting the gap and surface difference between the headlights and the bumper. The trim panel is connected to the headlight sidewall by second fasteners, ensuring the gap and surface difference between the trim panel and the headlights. By using the first fasteners, clips, positioning components, and second fasteners to ensure the gap and surface difference between each component, disassembly and reassembly due to gaps and surface differences are reduced, improving the operator's work efficiency.
[0006] Preferably, as an improvement, the first fastening member includes a first fastening groove, a first snap-fit block, and a first abutting block. The first fastening groove is opened at one end of the bumper near the grille, the first abutting block is disposed on the inner wall of the first fastening groove, and the first snap-fit block is disposed at one end of the grille near the bumper. The first snap-fit block can pass through the first fastening groove and abut against the first abutting block.
[0007] The beneficial effects are as follows: the first locking groove can prevent the first abutting block from shaking, thereby limiting the gap and surface difference between the grille and the bumper. The first abutting block can abut against the first snap-fit block, increasing the stability of the first snap-fit block and the first locking groove, preventing shaking from causing the first snap-fit block to come out of the first locking groove, thus separating the grille from the bumper and increasing the safety of the vehicle while driving.
[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, the end of the first snap-fit block near the first abutment block is set as a plane, the cross-section of the first abutment block is Z-shaped, and a protrusion is provided at the end near the first snap-fit block, the protrusion can abut against the first snap-fit block, and a right-angled triangular block is provided at the end of the first snap-fit block away from the first abutment block, the right-angled side of the right-angled triangular block can snap into the first buckle groove.
[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: by setting the end of the first snap-fit block near the first abutment block as a plane, it is easier for the first snap-fit block to be inserted into the first snap-fit groove and to slide relative to the first abutment block. By setting the first abutment block as Z-shaped, the downward pressure on the first snap-fit block is increased. In addition, the right-angled triangular block of the first snap-fit block is engaged with the first snap-fit groove, which increases the stability between the first snap-fit block and the first snap-fit groove and further prevents the first snap-fit block from exiting the first snap-fit groove.
[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, the positioning component includes a first positioning block and a second positioning block. The first positioning block is located at the end of the headlight away from the grille, and the second positioning block is located at the end of the headlight away from the bumper. The fender is connected to the first positioning block and the second positioning block by bolts.
[0011] The beneficial effects are: by using the first and second positioning blocks in conjunction with bolts to restrict all degrees of freedom of the fender on the headlight, the gap and surface difference between the headlight and the fender are ensured, which facilitates the subsequent installation by the operator.
[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the second fastener includes a second fastening groove and a second fastening block. The second fastening groove is located at the end of the headlight away from the grille, and the second fastening block is located at the end of the decorative panel close to the headlight.
[0013] The beneficial effects are: by restricting all degrees of freedom of the decorative panel on the outer wall of the headlight through the second fastening groove and the second snap-fit block, the gap and surface difference between the decorative panel and the headlight are limited. At the same time, the second snap-fit can improve the installation efficiency of the decorative panel by the operator.
[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the clip has a V-shaped cross-section, and the ends of the grille and bumper near the headlights are bent, so that the bent edges of the grille and bumper can engage with the clip.
[0015] The beneficial effect is that by bending the grille and bumper, the installation efficiency of the headlights is increased without compromising the overall strength of the grille and bumper.
[0016] Preferably, as an improvement, a plurality of first fastening elements are provided between the bumper and the decorative panel, the first fastening groove is provided at the end of the bumper near the decorative panel, the first abutting block is provided on the inner wall of the first fastening groove, and the first snapping block is provided at the end of the decorative panel near the bumper.
[0017] The beneficial effect is that by setting several first fasteners between the bumper and the trim panel, the strength of the trim panel is increased, preventing the trim panel from falling off. Attached Figure Description
