[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a kind of car, including front end frame assembly, the front end frame assembly of the present application includes frame body 3, energy-absorbing box 2, front anti-collision beam, connecting assembly 4 and the mounting bracket 1 of connecting frame body 3 and energy-absorbing box 2.

[0032] In an example, the number of energy-absorbing boxes 2 is two, and the two energy-absorbing boxes 2 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the front anti-collision beam on the same side by welding, fastening, or the like. The number of mounting brackets 1 is the same as the number of energy-absorbing boxes 2, and the two ends of the frame body 3 are fixedly connected to the two energy-absorbing boxes 2 through the two mounting brackets 1 respectively.

[0033] Optionally, the frame body 3 and the energy-absorbing box 2 are detachably connected through the connecting assembly 4 and the mounting bracket 1. Understandably, at least one of the frame body 3 and the energy-absorbing box 2 can also be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1 by welding or riveting, or the like.

[0034] Please refer toFigure 3 And Figure 4 In an example, the mounting bracket 1 is substantially in the shape of a "U", and is arranged across the energy-absorbing box 2. Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 comprises a support plate 11, a first connecting plate 12 and a second connecting plate 13, and the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 are respectively connected to opposite ends of the support plate 11. In an example, the support plate 11 is bent to extend from opposite ends thereof to form the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13, wherein the support plate 11 is used to support the frame body 3, and the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 are respectively used to be fixedly connected to opposite sides of the energy-absorbing box 2.

[0035] The support plate 11, the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 enclose a mounting space, and part of the energy-absorbing box 2 is embedded in the mounting space and has a spacing from the support plate 11. By arranging the support plate 11 to be spaced from the energy-absorbing box 2, when the vehicle is in a collision, the energy-absorbing box 2 is not affected by the support plate 11, and can normally collapse to absorb the energy generated by the collision, thereby improving safety.

[0036] The frame body 3 is provided with a mounting portion 31 at one end close to the mounting bracket 1, and the mounting portion 31 comprises a first mounting plate 311 and a second mounting plate 312. Specifically, the first mounting plate 311 is arranged at the bottom of the frame body 3, and the first mounting plate 311 is bent to extend from an edge thereof to form the second mounting plate 312.

[0037] In an example, the energy-absorbing box 2 is in a box-shaped structure, comprising a top plate and a bottom plate arranged opposite to each other, and a side plate connected between the top plate and the bottom plate, the support plate 11 is substantially parallel to the top plate of the energy-absorbing box 2 and abuts against the first mounting plate 311 of the mounting portion 31, the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the two side plates of the energy-absorbing box 2, and the support plate 11 is arranged to be spaced from the top plate of the energy-absorbing box 2, so that the support plate 11 has a spacing from the top plate.

[0038] In an example, the second mounting plate 312 of the mounting portion 31 is fixedly connected to the element such as the headlamp by means of fasteners, clamping or the like, and optionally, the second mounting plate 312 is provided with through holes for the fasteners to pass through, and the headlamp is fixed to the second mounting plate 312 by the fasteners. Specifically, the first mounting plate 311 of the mounting portion 31 is in the shape of a "V" along a direction perpendicular to itself, and specifically, the first mounting plate 311 is provided with a groove for avoiding the headlamp. In this example, the support plate 11 is also in the shape of a "V" which is substantially the same as that of the first mounting plate 311, and it can be understood that the support plate 11 can also be in the shape of a rectangle, a polygon or the like according to different vehicle models or installation positions.

[0039] As Figure 3 And 5As shown, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with an avoiding groove 114 and an avoiding cavity 115, the support plate 11 is recessed from the part close to the avoiding groove 114 to form the avoiding cavity 115. Among them, the avoiding cavity 115 is used to avoid the fastener and provide installation space for the fastener, and the avoiding groove 114 is used to adapt the support plate 11 of the mounting bracket 1 to the first mounting plate 311 of the frame body 3, and to avoid elements such as front headlamp.

[0040] Please continue to see Figure 3 The first and second connecting plates 12 and 13 are respectively provided with first and second flanges 122 and 132 at the ends away from the support plate 11. During assembly, the first and second flanges 122 and 132 can guide the movement direction of the mounting bracket 1 relative to the energy absorption box 2, facilitating installation. In addition, the first and second flanges 122 and 132 are conducive to the part of the first and second connecting plates 12 and 13 close to the first and second connecting holes 121 and 131 abutting the energy absorption box 2, thereby improving the firmness of the connection.

[0041] Please see Figure 4 Optionally, the mounting bracket 1 is also provided with a third flange 117, specifically, the support plate 11 is bent and extended from its edge in the direction close to the installation space to form the third flange 117. The third flange 117 is located between the first and second connecting plates 12 and 13. The third flange 117 can increase the bending resistance of the support plate 11, thereby improving the stability of the mounting bracket 1, preventing bending and deformation, and improving the structural strength.

[0042] In an example, the connecting assembly 4 includes a fastener, the support plate 11, the first connecting plate 12 and the second connecting plate 13 are respectively provided with mounting holes 111, first connecting holes 121 and second connecting holes 131 for the fastener to pass through, in addition, the side plate of the energy absorption box 2 is provided with a third connecting hole 21 for the fastener to pass through.

[0043] In an example, one of the first mounting plate 311 and the support plate 11 is provided with a positioning column 313, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 112, the positioning column 313 is arranged in the positioning hole 112, for limiting the relative position of the frame body 3 and the mounting bracket 1. Optionally, the support plate 11 is provided with a positioning hole 112, and the positioning column 313 is arranged on the side of the first mounting plate 311 close to the support plate 11, the positioning column 313 passes through the positioning hole 112 and is located in the installation space of the mounting bracket 1, which facilitates installation while saving space.

[0044] Optionally, the support plate 11 is provided with a lifting hole 113, which is arranged at one end of the support plate 11 close to the first connecting plate 12. During vehicle manufacturing or maintenance, the lifting hole 113 is used for lifting equipment to facilitate transportation and installation.

[0045] Optionally, the support plate 11 is provided with a weight-reducing hole 116, and the number of the weight-reducing hole 116 can be one or several. In an example, the support plate 11 is provided with two weight-reducing holes 116, which are arranged at regions of the support plate 11 close to the mounting hole 111 and the lifting hole 113, so as to reduce the weight while meeting the structural strength of the mounting bracket 1.
