Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The front wheel arches of a car's front body structure are used to fix the front shock absorbers. During vehicle operation, in order to improve the ride smoothness, the front shock absorbers are installed in parallel with the elastic elements in the suspension to suppress the oscillations when the springs absorb shocks and the impacts from the road surface, thereby improving driving comfort.

[0003] Generally, front shock absorbers are fixed to the front wheel arch with fasteners. During installation, the fasteners are usually secured to the front wheel arch using installation tools. When the water channel assembly is designed above the front shock absorber, the installation space is limited. On the one hand, the installation path is blocked by the headlight beam, requiring the headlight beam to be removed before the operator can access the installation position. Therefore, the headlight beam can only be screwed to the front wall panel side plate of the front body structure. However, the screwing precision is not high, which increases the difficulty of adjusting the headlight beam with the headlight, fender, and hood, resulting in a cumbersome installation process and low installation efficiency. On the other hand, due to the small installation space, conventional installation tools cannot meet the installation requirements, and special tools need to be developed, increasing the tool usage cost.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a front body structure and vehicle to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a vehicle including a front body structure 100 and a front shock absorber 200. The front body structure 100 includes a front wheel arch 10, and the front shock absorber 200 is fixed to the front wheel arch 10 by fasteners. During installation, the fasteners are usually fixed to the front wheel arch 10 using installation tools. When the water channel assembly 50 is designed above the front shock absorber 200, due to the limitation of installation space, on the one hand, the installation path is blocked by the headlight beam. The headlight beam needs to be removed before the operator can access the installation position. Therefore, the headlight beam can only be screwed to the front wall side panel 40 of the front body structure 100. However, the screwing accuracy is not high, which increases the difficulty of adjusting the headlight beam with the headlight, fender, and engine hood, resulting in a cumbersome installation process and low installation efficiency. On the other hand, due to the small installation space, conventional installation tools cannot meet the installation requirements, and special tools need to be developed, increasing the tool usage cost.

[0051] To solve the above problems, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front vehicle body structure 100 provided in this embodiment includes a front wheel cover 10 and a front upper corner plate 20. The front wheel cover 10 has a mounting hole 11, and the front shock absorber 200 is installed in the mounting hole 11. The front upper corner plate 20 is connected to the front wheel cover 10. The front upper corner plate 20 has a mounting through hole 211, which is directly opposite to the mounting hole 11, so that the installation tool passes through the mounting through hole 211 to install the front shock absorber 200 in the mounting hole 11.

[0052] By creating a mounting through hole 211 on the front side panel 20 that corresponds to the mounting hole 11, the installation tool can directly pass through the mounting through hole 211 to install the front shock absorber 200 onto the mounting hole 11 of the front wheel arch 10 without disassembling the headlight beam. Therefore, the headlight beam can be fixedly connected to the front side panel 40, improving the connection accuracy between the headlight beam and the front side panel 40, simplifying the installation process of the front shock absorber 200, increasing installation efficiency, and reducing production costs. It should be noted that the installation tool in this embodiment is a bent-end gun.

[0053] In this embodiment, there are three mounting holes 11, which are evenly spaced and arranged around the periphery of the front shock absorber 200. Correspondingly, there are three mounting through holes 211, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the mounting holes 11, facilitating the installation of the front shock absorber 200 into the corresponding mounting holes 11. In other embodiments, the number of mounting through holes 211 may be two, four, or more, which can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual installation position on the front shock absorber 200.

[0054] Optionally, the front body structure 100 also includes a front baffle 30 and a front wall panel side panel 40. The upper corner panel 20 of the front wall panel includes a first main body 21, a first flange 22, and a second flange 23. Both the first flange 22 and the second flange 23 are connected to the first main body 21. The first flange 22 is fitted to the front wall panel side panel 40, and the second flange 23 is fitted to the front baffle 30. By setting the first flange 22 and the second flange 23 on the first main body 21, the strength of the upper corner panel 20 of the front wall panel is improved. The first flange 22 is fitted to the front wall panel side panel 40, which facilitates the connection between the first flange 22 and the front wall panel side panel 40. The second flange 23 is fitted to the front baffle 30, which facilitates the connection between the second flange 23 and the front baffle 30.

[0055] Optionally, the first flange 22 is welded to the front wall panel side plate 40, and / or the front baffle 30 is welded to the second flange 23. This helps to improve the connection strength between the first flange 22 and the front wall panel side plate 40, as well as between the second flange 23 and the front baffle 30. The welding connection is fast and can greatly improve work efficiency.

[0056] Optionally, the front body structure 100 also includes a front water channel assembly 50, which includes a third flange 51. The front baffle 30, the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall panel, and the side plate 40 of the front wall panel are all fitted with the third flange 51. By setting the third flange 51, the structural strength of the front water channel assembly 50 can be improved. The fact that the front baffle 30, the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall panel, and the side plate 40 of the front wall panel are all fitted with the third flange 51 facilitates the connection between the front baffle 30, the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall panel, the side plate 40 of the front wall panel, and the third flange 51.

[0057] Optionally, the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall is formed by sheet metal stamping, which has high processing precision and efficiency, and can ensure the integrity of the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall.

[0058] Optionally, the front vehicle structure 100 also includes a first wiring harness bracket 61 and / or a second wiring harness bracket 62. The first wiring harness bracket 61 is mounted on the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall panel, and the second wiring harness bracket 62 is mounted on the front wheel arch 10. The first wiring harness bracket 61 and the second wiring harness bracket 62 can fix and protect the wiring harness, preventing the wiring harness from running around and causing safety hazards.

[0059] Optionally, a wire harness through hole 212 is also provided on the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall. The wire harness passes through the wire harness through hole 212. The wire harness through hole 212 enables the upper corner plate 20 of the front wall to avoid the wire harness, which facilitates the laying of the wire harness.

[0060] Optionally, the front body structure 100 also includes a footrest 70, which is detachably connected to the front wheel arch 10, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of the footrest 70 and the front wheel arch 10, and helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the footrest 70 and the front wheel arch 10.

[0061] Specifically, the footrest 70 is fixed to the front of the front wheel arch 10 by snap-fit ​​or screw-fit, thereby providing a resting area for the driver's left foot.

[0062] Optionally, the footrest pedal 70 includes a second body 71, a reinforcing part 72 and / or an anti-slip part. Both the reinforcing part 72 and the anti-slip part are provided on the second body 71. The reinforcing part 72 helps to improve the overall strength of the footrest pedal 70, and the anti-slip part helps to improve the friction between the footrest pedal 70 and the driver's left foot, thus achieving the anti-slip function.

[0063] Note that in the description of this specification, references to terms such as "some embodiments," "other embodiments," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.
