[0025] Figure 1 Structure diagram of an exemplary embodiment of the automobile front end module. As shown in FIG. 1, the automobile front end module comprises a cross beam assembly 10, a longitudinal beam 20 and a support frame 30. Figure 1As shown, the automotive front-end module includes a crossbeam assembly 10, two longitudinal beams 20, and two support frames 30. In this illustrative embodiment, the crossbeam assembly 10, the two longitudinal beams 20, and the support frames 30 are integrally molded plastic parts, thereby reducing the size of the links, improving manufacturing precision, and effectively improving production efficiency and quality. Specifically, the plastic part is made of polystyrene PP-LGF30, which has the advantages of corrosion resistance, low density, and a 30% weight reduction, meeting the requirements for lightweighting while reducing manufacturing costs.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the crossbeam assembly 10 includes an upper crossbeam 12 and a lower crossbeam 14. The upper crossbeam 12 and the lower crossbeam 14 are arranged along the height direction of the vehicle, and the upper crossbeam 12 is parallel to the lower crossbeam 14. Several connectors 16 for connecting the front bumper and the front grille of the vehicle are pre-set at the top of the upper crossbeam 12 and the bottom of the lower crossbeam 14, respectively. In this illustrative real-time configuration, the connectors 16 are assembled to the front-end module using a snap-fit method. The connectors 16 are arranged along the width direction of the vehicle according to a preset spacing, wherein the preset spacing is a uniformly planned distance for different vehicle models to improve the adaptability of the front-end module.
[0027] Two longitudinal beams 20 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the crossbeam assembly 10 along the width direction of the vehicle, and the two ends of the two longitudinal beams 20 are respectively connected to the upper crossbeam 12 and the lower crossbeam 14 to form a frame structure to ensure the stability of the front-end model. Each longitudinal beam 20 is pre-set with a set of mounting points 23 for connecting to the vehicle frame. In this illustrative embodiment, there are four mounting points 23, and the four mounting points 23 of each of the two longitudinal beams 20 are symmetrically arranged to meet assembly requirements. Figure 1 As shown, three mounting points 23 are located near the end of the upper crossbeam 12 for mounting the headlights, thereby ensuring installation accuracy. These three mounting points 23 are arranged in a triangle to ensure installation stability. The remaining mounting point 23 is located near the end of the lower crossbeam 14. The longitudinal beam 20 also has a pre-set mounting hole 25, which connects to the front bumper beam. The front bumper beam is designed with a locating pin to ensure alignment during assembly and improve manufacturing precision.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle front-end module also includes two support frames 30, which are located within the frame structure. Each support frame 30 is connected to a crossbeam 12 and a longitudinal beam 20 at both ends, thereby improving the strength and rigidity of the vehicle front-end module structure.
