[0022] To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application.

[0023] As shown in Figures 1-4 The embodiments of the present application provide a universal framework of automobile front and rear end models, which is applied to the field of automobile manufacturing, and in particular to the manufacturing of automobile front and rear end models. In the process of automobile manufacturing, the components of the front and rear ends of the automobile often need to be first manufactured into models, and various data are verified to save costs. When manufacturing the front and rear end models of the automobile, a framework is needed to play a role of structural support. The components of the front and rear ends are connected and fixed to the framework by screws. The framework currently used has certain disadvantages in actual application. Automobile manufacturers develop many vehicle models, and often need to manufacture front and rear end models of multiple vehicle models. The framework currently used can only match the front and rear end models of one vehicle model after being manufactured, so multiple specifications of the framework need to be manufactured accordingly. In this way, the development cycle is long, and the production cost is also increased. The universal framework of automobile front and rear end models aims to improve the applicability, so that the framework can be applied to the manufacturing of front and rear end models of multiple vehicle models.

[0024] The universal framework of automobile front and rear end models comprises a framework body 100.

In this way, since the hole structures 200 in multiple directions are arranged in an array, when the components of the front and rear end models are connected by screws and the like, the connection and fixation of model components of multiple different sizes can be adapted, and then the installation and fixation of front and rear end models of multiple vehicle models can be adapted, thereby greatly improving the applicability, reducing the number of frameworks to be manufactured, and effectively reducing the production cost.

[0025] In an example, the first side 101, the second side 102, the third side 103 and the fourth side 104 are all planar structures, the framework is a three-dimensional structure, the first side 101 and the third side 103 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, and the second side 102 and the fourth side 104 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, so that the first side 101, the second side 102, the third side 103 and the fourth side 104 enclose a rectangle, and when the framework body 100 is upright, the projection of the enclosed structure of the first side 101, the second side 102, the third side 103 and the fourth side 104 in the horizontal plane is a rectangular periphery, so that the front end model and the rear end model of the automobile can be simultaneously manufactured and installed on the framework body 100, or the front end models of different vehicle types can be simultaneously manufactured and installed, or the rear end models of different vehicle types can be simultaneously manufactured and installed, which can be used according to actual conditions, and the applicability of the universal framework is further improved.
