Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to a fog light mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] When a car is driving in adverse weather conditions such as fog, snow, and heavy rain, or in a dusty environment, it must use front fog lights to illuminate the road ahead and ensure driving safety. In recent years, in terms of styling design, fog lights are often mounted on the front bumper via fog light mounting brackets.

[0003] Currently, fog lights are often installed by first fixing the fog light to the fog light mounting bracket, and then fixing the fog light mounting bracket to the bumper. When the car is impacted, the bumper can cushion the impact to some extent, but it often cannot completely cushion the impact. At this time, the fog light and fog light mounting bracket will bear the remaining impact force. After bearing the impact, the fog light mounting bracket cannot get further cushioning, making the fog light and fog light mounting bracket easy to be damaged under impact.

[0004] Existing technologies also include solutions that can cushion fog lights after they are impacted. However, these solutions often involve the fog lights protruding from the fog light mounting bracket, making the fog lights themselves more susceptible to impact than the bracket. Furthermore, the fog lights cannot move into the fog light mounting bracket after being impacted, thus failing to protect them using the bracket. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the problem in the existing technology that fog lights cannot be moved into the fog light mounting bracket after being impacted, and that the fog light mounting bracket cannot be used to protect the fog lights, by providing a fog light mounting bracket.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a fog light mounting bracket, including a bracket body, a mounting frame slidably connected to the bracket body, at least three connecting plates installed on the outer periphery of the mounting frame, a fixing plate corresponding to the position of the connecting plates installed on the bracket body, and a damper connected to the connecting plates installed on the fixing plate.

[0007] In the above technical solution, the fog light body is mounted on the mounting frame. After the fog light body and the mounting frame are impacted by an object, they move to the side where the damper is located, so that the fog light body and the mounting frame can enter the bracket body. Thus, the bracket body can withstand the impact of the object and protect the fog light body and the mounting frame.

[0008] During movement, the mounting frame can drive the piston of the damper to slide inside the cylinder, thereby using the damper to buffer the impact force.

[0009] Preferably, the bracket body has a through hole, and the mounting frame is slidably connected in the through hole.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the perforation allows the mounting frame to slide within it. When the mounting frame is impacted, it can move into the interior of the support body, whereby the support body absorbs the impact, thus protecting the mounting frame.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting frame has an annular cross-section, and the multiple connecting plates are distributed in an annular array.

[0012] In the above technical solution, by setting the connecting plates in a ring array distribution, the installation of the mounting frame on the bracket body can be more stable and balanced.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the mounting frame facing away from the damper protrudes from the fog light body.

[0014] In the above technical solution, by making the end of the mounting frame facing away from the damper protrude relative to the fog light body, the probability of the mounting frame being hit by an impacting object can be increased, and the probability of the impacting object directly hitting the fog light body can be reduced, thereby further protecting the fog light body.

[0015] Preferably, a sealing ring is installed on the inner sidewall of the mounting frame, the sealing ring being used to seal the gap between the fog light body and the mounting frame.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the sealing ring can seal the gap between the fog light body and the mounting frame, thereby preventing impurities and dust from entering the mounting frame from the gap.

[0017] Preferably, the mounting frame has an annular groove on the side away from the damper, and the opening of the annular groove facing the damper is smaller than the opening of the annular groove on the side away from the damper.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the annular groove can reduce the obstruction of the fog light body by the mounting frame, thereby allowing the fog light body to emit sufficient light.

[0019] Preferably, a spring is sleeved on the damper and disposed between the connecting plate and the fixed plate.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the spring is compressed when the piston of the damper moves into the cylinder. After the damper completely buffers the impact force, the spring deformation recovers and can drive the damper to reset.

[0021] Preferably, the bracket body has multiple clips installed on the side facing the damper.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the buckle is used to snap the bracket body onto the bumper, thereby installing the bracket body and the fog light body onto the bumper.

[0023] Preferably, the mounting frame has a threaded hole on the side facing the damper, and the threaded hole is used to mount the fog light body on the mounting frame.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the ear plate can be fixed by bolt thread connection in the threaded hole, thereby enabling the fog light body to be installed on the mounting frame.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When an impacting object knocks the mounting frame into the interior of the bracket body, the bracket body can block the impacting object, thereby preventing the impacting object from continuing to impact the mounting frame and the fog light body, thus achieving protection for the mounting frame and the fog light body.

[0026] 2. When the fog light mounting bracket is subjected to an external impact, the mounting frame can move the fog light body toward the side of the damper. At the same time, the mounting frame causes the damper to slide inside the cylinder. The damper buffers the impact force on the mounting frame. Meanwhile, the connecting plate can drive the spring to compress. The deformation of the spring can buffer part of the impact force.

[0027] 3. This fog light mounting bracket, by protruding the mounting frame relative to the fog light body, can reduce the probability of the fog light body being hit by objects and increase the probability of the mounting frame withstanding impacts, thereby further protecting the fog light body.

[0035] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 The fog light mounting bracket in this embodiment includes a bracket body 1, a mounting frame 2 slidably connected to the bracket body 1, at least three connecting plates 3 installed on the outer periphery of the mounting frame 2, a fixing plate 4 corresponding to the position of the connecting plate 3 installed on the bracket body 1, and a damper 5 connected to the connecting plate 3 installed on the fixing plate 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fog light body 9 is mounted on the mounting frame 2. After the fog light body 9 and the mounting frame 2 are impacted by an object, they move to the side where the damper 5 is located, so that the fog light body 9 and the mounting frame 2 can enter the bracket body 1. Thus, the bracket body 1 can withstand the impact of the object and protect the fog light body 9 and the mounting frame 2.

[0038] During the movement of the mounting frame 2, the piston of the damper 5 can slide inside the cylinder, thereby using the damper 5 to buffer the impact force.

[0039] In this embodiment, the bracket body 1 has a through hole 7, and the mounting frame 2 is slidably connected in the through hole 7. The cross-section of the mounting frame 2 is annular, and multiple connecting plates 3 are distributed in an annular array. The end of the mounting frame 2 facing away from the damper 5 protrudes from the fog lamp body 9. A sealing ring 8 is installed on the inner side wall of the mounting frame 2. The sealing ring 8 is used to seal the gap between the fog lamp body 9 and the mounting frame 2. An annular groove 10 is provided on the side of the mounting frame 2 away from the damper 5. The opening of the annular groove 10 facing the damper 5 is smaller than the opening of the annular groove 10 facing away from the damper 5.

[0040] In this embodiment, the perforation 7 allows the mounting frame 2 to slide within it. When the mounting frame 2 is impacted, it can move into the interior of the bracket body 1, allowing the bracket body 1 to absorb the impact, thus protecting the mounting frame 2. By arranging the connecting plates 3 in a circular array, the mounting frame 2 can be more stably and balanced on the bracket body 1. By protruding the end of the mounting frame 2 away from the damper 5 relative to the fog lamp body 9, the probability of the mounting frame 2 being impacted by an impactor can be increased, while the probability of the impactor directly impacting the fog lamp body 9 can be reduced, further protecting the fog lamp body 9. The sealing ring 8 can seal the gap between the fog lamp body 9 and the mounting frame 2, thereby preventing impurities and dust from entering the mounting frame 2 through the gap.

[0041] It should be noted that the annular groove 10 can reduce the obstruction of light emitted by the fog light body 9 by the mounting frame 2, thereby allowing the fog light body 9 to emit sufficient light.

[0042] In this embodiment, a spring 6 is sleeved on the damper 5 and disposed between the connecting plate 3 and the fixing plate 4. Multiple buckles 11 are installed on the side of the bracket body 1 facing the damper 5. A threaded hole 12 is opened on the side of the mounting frame 2 facing the damper 5. The threaded hole 12 is used to install the fog lamp body 9 on the mounting frame 2. Multiple ear plates 13 are installed on the peripheral wall of the fog lamp body 9. Bolts 14 threaded into the threaded hole 12 pass through the ear plates 13.

[0043] In this embodiment, the spring 6 is compressed when the piston of the damper 5 moves into the cylinder. After the damper 5 completely buffers the impact force, the spring 6 returns to its original shape and drives the damper 5 to reset. The buckle 11 is used to snap the bracket body 1 onto the bumper 15, thereby installing the bracket body 1 and the fog light body 9 on the bumper 15. The ear plate 13 can be fixed by the bolt 14 threaded connection in the threaded hole 12, thereby installing the fog light body 9 on the mounting frame 2.

[0044] Operating principle: When the fog light mounting bracket and fog light body 9 are impacted, the mounting frame 2 can withstand the impact as much as possible, thereby reducing the possibility of the impacting object directly hitting the fog light body 9. After the impacting object reaches the mounting frame 2, the mounting frame 2 moves the fog light body 9 to the side where the damper 5 is located. The mounting frame 2 drives the connecting plate 3 to push the piston of the damper 5. When the piston slides in the cylinder, it buffers the impact force. At the same time, the connecting plate 3 drives the spring 6 to compress. The spring 6 can also buffer part of the impact force, thereby reducing the impact force on the mounting frame 2 and fog light body 9, and realizing the protection of the fog light body 9. When the mounting frame 2 moves completely into the bracket body 1, the bracket body 1 can withstand the impact from the impacting object, thereby further protecting the fog light body 9. After the impact force disappears, the mounting frame 2, damper 5 and fog light body 9 are reset under the deformation recovery of the spring 6.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
