Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bumper body, specifically a bumper with an integrated active air intake grille. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the automotive industry, active air intake grilles are typically installed on the main body of a car's bumper to reduce wind resistance and accelerate heat dissipation in the engine compartment. The active air intake grille mainly consists of a mounting bracket and blades. The blades are installed by aligning the mounting shafts on the blades with the mounting holes on the mounting bracket. However, in most cars currently on the market, the active air intake grille and the surrounding bumper are separated into two individual parts, not integrated into a single unit. This results in a complex structure and poor overall aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to propose a bumper that integrates an active air intake grille, aiming to solve the technical problem that existing automotive structures separate the active air intake grille and the main body of the bumper into two separate parts, resulting in complex structures and poor overall appearance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a bumper with an integrated active air intake grille, including a bumper body with multiple spaced air intakes.

[0005] The blades are movably disposed at the air intake of the bumper body, and each blade corresponds to one of the air intakes.

[0006] A drive assembly is detachably disposed on the inner side of the bumper body. The drive assembly is connected to the blade and is used to drive the blade to open or close the air intake.

[0007] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a mounting bracket, a driver, a roller, a connector, a connecting rod, and a connector. The mounting bracket is detachably disposed inside the bumper body. The driver is laterally disposed on the mounting bracket, and its output end is connected to the roller. The roller has multiple spaced-apart movable slots, each slot surrounding the outer circumference of the roller. Each slot contains a movably disposed connector, and each connector is connected to a corresponding connecting rod. The connecting rod is vertically and rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket. Each connecting rod has multiple connectors spaced along its length, and each connector is connected to one of the blades, such that:

[0008] When the driver drives the roller to rotate, the plug-in moves along the movable groove, driving the connecting rod and the connecting piece to rotate synchronously, so as to pull the blade to open or close the air inlet.

[0009] Preferably, each of the movable slots has a first bent section, which bends toward or away from the driver. The first bent sections of each movable slot on the roller are at the same height, such that:

[0010] When the driver drives the roller to rotate, each of the plugs simultaneously moves to the first bent section of the movable groove, driving each of the connecting rods and the connecting piece to rotate synchronously, so as to simultaneously pull the blade to open or close the air inlet.

[0011] Preferably, each of the movable slots further comprises a second bending section, which bends toward the side closer to or away from the driver, along the clockwise direction of the roller, and adjacent second bending sections are gradually distributed inclined from one side to the other along the outer surface of the roller, such that:

[0012] When the driver drives the roller to rotate, the adjacent plug-in parts move to the second bent section of the movable groove in sequence, driving the adjacent connecting rod and the connecting part to rotate in sequence, so as to pull the blade to open or close the air inlet in sequence.

[0013] Preferably, the bumper body is provided with a connecting seat at both the upper and lower ends of each blade, and a rotating shaft is provided at both the upper and lower ends of each blade, with each rotating shaft rotatably disposed in the corresponding connecting seat.

[0016] Preferably, one side of the blade and the fixing member is further provided with an extension portion, which is used to fit against the inner side of the bumper body when the blade closes the air inlet.

[0017] Preferably, the connector includes a connecting plate and a plug, one end of the plug is inserted into the movable slot, the other end of the plug is connected to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the connecting rod; the end of the plug inserted into the movable slot is arc-shaped.

[0018] Preferably, the inner side of the bumper body is provided with two drive components spaced apart.

[0019] The bumper with integrated active air intake grille disclosed in this utility model has the following beneficial effects: In this solution, the blades are directly set at the air intake of the bumper body, and the blades of the active air intake grille are integrated into the main grille of the bumper body, eliminating the sense of boundary between the two. When the blades move to the air intake closed state, it is not visible from the outside that the main bumper body and the active air intake grille are two separate parts, which enhances the technological feel of the front of the car and improves the overall integrity; the opening and closing of the blades is realized by the drive component, realizing the heat dissipation and air intake functions of the active air intake grille.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a bumper integrating an active air intake grille includes:

[0034] The bumper body 1 has multiple spaced air intakes 11.

[0035] Blade 2, the blade 2 is movably disposed at the air intake 11 of the bumper body 1, and the blade 2 corresponds one-to-one with the air intake 11;

[0036] The drive assembly 3 is detachably disposed on the inner side of the bumper body 1. The drive assembly 3 is connected to the blade 2 and is used to drive the blade 2 to open or close the air intake 11.

[0037] Unlike the existing automotive design where the external active air intake grille (AGS) has a strong boundary with the bumper body 1, this solution integrates the blades 2 of the active air intake grille into the grille of the bumper body 1, eliminating the boundary between the two. This results in a better overall appearance while still meeting the air intake requirements.

[0038] Specifically, the bumper body 1 has multiple air inlets 11, through which air enters the interior. The blades 2 are directly installed at the air inlets 11 of the bumper body 1 and integrated into the bumper body 1. The opening and closing of the blades 2 is achieved by the drive assembly 3. The drive assembly 3 can drive the blades 2 to move (such as lifting or rotating) to close or open the air inlets 11, thereby realizing the heat dissipation and air intake functions of the active air intake grille.

[0039] Further, the drive assembly 3 includes a mounting frame 31, a driver 32, a roller 33, a connector 34, a connecting rod 35, and a connector 36. The mounting frame 31 is detachably mounted on the inner side of the bumper body 1. The driver 32 is laterally mounted on the mounting frame 31, and its output end is connected to the roller 33. The roller 33 has multiple spaced movable slots 37, each slot 37 being distributed around the outer circumference of the roller 33. Each slot 37 contains a movably mounted connector 34, and each connector 34 is connected to a corresponding connecting rod 35. The connecting rod 35 is vertically and rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 31. Each connecting rod 35 has multiple connectors 36 spaced along its length, and each connector 36 is connected to one blade 2, such that:

[0040] When the driver 32 drives the roller 33 to rotate, the plug 34 moves along the movable groove 37, driving the connecting rod 35 and the connecting piece 36 to rotate synchronously, so as to pull the blade 2 to open or close the air inlet 11.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the drive unit 32 (which can actually be a motor) drives the roller 33 to rotate, causing the connector 34 to move along a special movable groove 37. When the connector 34 moves to a specific position in the movable groove 37, it drives the connecting rod 35 and the connecting piece 36 to rotate synchronously. When the connecting piece 36 rotates to one side, it pulls the blade 2 inward, causing the blade 2 to open the air inlet 11. When it is necessary to close the air inlet 11, the motor rotates in the reverse direction, or the motor continues to rotate in the forward direction, causing the connector 34 to continue moving along the movable groove 37 until it passes the aforementioned special position. The overall structure of the drive assembly 3 is simple, with a high degree of automation, and can accurately control the opening and closing of the air inlet 11.

[0042] Furthermore, each of the movable slots 37 is provided with a first bending section 371, which bends toward or away from the driver 32. The first bending section 371 of each movable slot 37 on the roller 33 is at the same height, such that:

[0043] When the driver 32 drives the roller 33 to rotate, each of the plug-in parts 34 simultaneously moves to the first bent section 371 of the movable groove 37, driving each of the connecting rods 35 and the connecting parts 36 to rotate synchronously, so as to simultaneously pull the blade 2 to open or close the air inlet 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 6 As shown, each movable slot 37 is provided with a special first bending section 371. Each first bending section 371 is located at the same horizontal height. That is, when the motor drives the roller 33 to rotate, each connector 34 moves in the same position on the movable slot 37, thereby enabling the simultaneous pulling of all blades 2 and the simultaneous opening and closing of all air inlets 11. In particular, this embodiment can control the rotation angle of the connecting rod 35 and the connecting member 36 by controlling the movable position of the connector 34 in the first bending section 371, thereby controlling the opening degree of the blades 2 and adjusting the intake air volume and cooling performance.

[0045] Furthermore, each of the movable slots 37 is also provided with a second bending section 372, which bends toward the side closer to or away from the driver 32. Along the clockwise direction of the roller 33, adjacent second bending sections 372 are gradually distributed inclined from one side to the other along the outer surface of the roller 33, such that:

[0046] When the driver 32 drives the roller 33 to rotate, the adjacent plug-in 34 moves to the second bent section 372 of the movable groove 37 in turn, driving the adjacent connecting rod 35 and the connecting member 36 to rotate in turn, so as to pull the blade 2 to open or close the air inlet 11 in turn.

[0047] In this embodiment, as Figures 5 to 6As shown, each movable slot 37 is also provided with a special second bending section 372. Unlike each first bending section 371 which is located at the same height, the setting height of the second bending section 372 is different. Along the clockwise direction of the roller 33, the adjacent second bending sections 372 are gradually inclined from one side to the other along the outer surface of the roller 33. That is, when the motor drives the roller 33 to rotate, the plug 34 that is close to or away from the motor end will move to the second bending section 372 first. At this time, the other plugs 34 are still located in the straight section of the movable slot 37. Only this plug 34 will drive the connecting rod 35 and the connecting piece 36 to move, thereby pulling all the blades 2 in this vertical column. After that, when the motor drives the roller 33 to continue to rotate, the adjacent plugs 34 will move to the corresponding second bending section 372. At this time, the blades 2 will open the air inlet 11 of this vertical column. In this way, the air inlet 11 can be opened one column at a time.

[0048] Furthermore, the bumper body 1 is provided with connecting seats 12 at both the upper and lower ends of each blade 2, and each blade 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 21 at both the upper and lower ends, with each rotating shaft 21 rotatably disposed within the corresponding connecting seat 12. Since both the upper and lower ends of each blade 2 are rotatably connected to the bumper body 1 via the rotating shaft 21, the stability is improved, and the movement of the blade 2 is not affected when the connecting piece 36 pulls it.

[0049] Furthermore, one end of the connector 36 is sleeved on the connecting rod 35, and either side of the inner side of the blade 2 is connected to the fixing member 22. The fixing member 22 is provided with a connecting post 23, and the end of the connector 36 away from the connecting rod 35 is provided with a mounting groove 361, and the connecting post 23 is inserted into the mounting groove 361.

[0050] Both ends of the connecting rod 35 are rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket 31. The top end of the connecting rod 35 is connected to the plug-in component 34. Multiple connecting components 36 are sleeved on the connecting rod 35. The connecting components 36 are connected to the fixing component 22 through the connecting post 23. The connecting post 23 is directly inserted into the mounting groove 361 of the connecting component 36. The structure is simple and facilitates the installation and disassembly of the connecting components 36, connecting rod 35 and other structures.

[0051] Furthermore, one side of one of the connecting seats 12 is provided with an opening 111 for the rotating shaft 21 to enter and exit. To facilitate the installation and removal of the blade 2, an opening 111 is provided on one side of the connecting seat 12 on the bumper body 1, allowing the rotating shaft 21 of the blade 2 to be engaged into the connecting seat 12 through this opening 111 to complete its rotation. Typically, the opening 111 is provided on the connecting seat 12 at the upper end of the blade 2, forming a hook structure. The rotating shaft 21 at the lower end of the blade 2 is first inserted into the lower connecting seat 12, and after adjustment, the rotating shaft 21 at the upper end of the blade 2 is engaged into the upper connecting seat 12 through the opening 111.

[0052] Furthermore, one side of the blade 2 and the fixing member 22 is also provided with an extension portion 24. The extension portion 24 is used to fit against the inner side of the bumper body 1 when the blade 2 closes the air inlet 11. Since the blade 2 is rotatably located at the air inlet 11, in order to ensure that the blade 2 remains stable when closing the air inlet 11, this embodiment also provides an extension portion 24 on one side of the blade 2. When the blade 2 closes the air inlet 11, the extension portion 24 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the bumper body 1, making it difficult for the blade 2 to rotate freely.

[0053] Furthermore, the connector 34 includes a connecting plate 341 and a connector 342. One end of the connector 342 is inserted into the movable groove 37, and the other end of the connector 342 is connected to the connecting plate 341. The connecting plate 341 is connected to the connecting rod 35. The end of the connector 342 inserted into the movable groove 37 is arc-shaped.

[0054] The connector 342 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 35 via the connecting plate 341. The top of the connector 342 is arc-shaped to facilitate its movement within the movable slot 37.

[0055] Furthermore, two drive components 3 are spaced apart on the inner side of the bumper body 1. Since multiple air inlets 11 are provided on the left and right sides of the bumper body 1, in order to better realize the opening and closing of the air inlets 11 on the left and right sides, this embodiment provides two drive components 3 on the left and right sides of the bumper body 1. The movement trends of the drive components 3 on the left and right sides are kept synchronized, driving the multiple blades 2 on the left and right sides to move simultaneously.

[0056] Of course, under certain special circumstances, the motion trends of the drivers 32 in the two drive components 3 may not be kept synchronized, and adjustments may be made adaptively under different circumstances.

[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
