[0002] The automobile structure is complex, and many functions need to be met. Not only the use function is considered, but also the manufacturing, installation and other aspects are considered. The automobile usually includes a front bumper. With the development of the automobile industry, the front bumper shape and function are becoming more and more complex.

[0003] The automobile front bumper middle support is an important structure for installing and supporting the front bumper. It needs to meet the performance requirements of pedestrian protection, the quality requirements of strength and durability, the requirement of light weight, and the requirement of convenient assembly. These requirements make the design of the front bumper middle support relatively complex and difficult.

[0004] The common front bumper middle support is connected with the vehicle body, and there are many connecting bolts. Due to the accumulation of possible machining deviations, the large number of bolts makes it difficult to match the size of the front bumper middle support and the vehicle body, and the assembly time is long. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an automobile front bumper middle support and an automobile to solve at least one of the above problems.

[0006] In one aspect, the present application provides an automobile front bumper middle support, which comprises: a frame body comprising an upper edge strip, a lower edge strip and two side edge strips; a cantilever provided at the rear side of the upper edge strip, the cantilever being provided with a first screw hole corresponding to an upper cross beam of a water tank; two first buckles respectively provided at the rear side of the two side edge strips, the two first buckles being respectively used for clamping to a left support of the water tank and a right support of the water tank; and two second buckles provided at the lower edge strip, the second buckle being used for clamping to a front bumper cross beam.

[0007] By setting the first buckle and the second buckle, the number of first screw holes can be reduced to four, the installation difficulty is reduced, and the installation time is saved; the upper edge strip can be weakened to avoid excessive stiffness. The automobile front bumper middle support is well connected after being installed on the vehicle body.

[0008] In some embodiments, the cantilever comprises a first cantilever, a second cantilever, a third cantilever and a fourth cantilever which are sequentially arranged from the left side to the right side, and the first cantilever and the fourth cantilever are respectively located at the position of the corresponding side edge strip of the upper edge strip.

[0009] In this way, the first screw hole of the first cantilever and the first screw hole of the fourth cantilever are close to the side edge, which is easier to install. After being connected by screws, it is beneficial to ensure the overall rigidity of the automobile front bumper middle support and to balance the modal.

[0010] In some embodiments, the distance between the second cantilever and the third cantilever is greater than the distance between the second cantilever and the first cantilever, and greater than the distance between the third cantilever and the fourth cantilever.

[0011] In this way, the structural strength of the upper edge bar and the automobile front bumper bracket between the third cantilever and the fourth cantilever is reduced, and deformation is achieved to protect pedestrians in the event of an accident. In addition, it is easy to install, and the structural stiffness can be improved to ensure the supporting capacity.

[0012] In some embodiments, the upper edge bar includes an upper edge body and a groove recessed to the rear side of the upper edge body, and the groove opening faces the front side and penetrates the upper edge body. Exemplarily, the cantilever is arranged at the rear side of the groove.

[0013] In this way, the groove opening weakens the structure of the upper edge body, which can reduce the overall weight while improving the energy absorption capacity.

[0014] In some embodiments, the side edge bar includes a side edge body and a side edge protruding box protruding to the rear side of the side edge body, and the first buckle is arranged in the side edge protruding box.

[0016] In some embodiments, the bracket body further includes a plurality of connecting rods connected between the upper edge bar and the lower edge bar, and the adjacent two connecting rods have a spacing.

[0017] In this way, the stiffness of the upper edge bar and the lower edge bar and the automobile front bumper bracket can be enhanced, the weight can be reduced, and the bracket body can also be used for ventilation.

[0018] In some embodiments, the upper edge bar is provided with a second threaded hole for connecting the upper grille, and the lower edge bar is provided with a third threaded hole for connecting the lower grille.

[0019] In this way, the automobile front bumper bracket can provide a mounting position for connecting the upper grille and the lower grille, and also ensures the assembly space.

[0020] In some embodiments, the lower edge bar includes a lower edge body and a connecting block arranged at the rear side of the lower edge body, and the third threaded hole is arranged in the connecting block. Among the five connecting blocks arranged in sequence, the second connecting block and the fourth connecting block are located below the corresponding second buckle.

[0021] In this way, the layout can be optimized, the installation is easy, and the structural rigidity is ensured.

[0022] In some embodiments, the automobile front bumper middle support further comprises a third buckle, which is arranged on the lower edge strip and used for clamping the pedestrian protection foam, and the third buckle is arranged lower than the second buckle.

[0023] In this way, the automobile front bumper middle support can be used for mounting the pedestrian protection foam, which is conducive to the function of the pedestrian protection foam and the protection of pedestrians.

[0024] In another aspect, the application provides an automobile, which comprises an upper water tank beam, a left water tank support, a right water tank support, a front bumper beam, and the automobile front bumper middle support described above.

Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. For example, the first buckle can also be referred to as the second buckle, and the second buckle can also be referred to as the first buckle. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality of" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited.

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0037] For the convenience of description, a spatial rectangular coordinate system XYZ is established, the X-axis direction is the front-rear direction, the Y-axis direction is the left-right direction, and the Z-axis direction is the up-down direction.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The automobile front bumper middle support in the present application is shown. In some comparative examples, more than six bolts are used to connect the automobile front bumper middle support to the vehicle body. Due to the cumulative dimensional error, deformation and other factors, the connection of the two is relatively difficult, and when the rigidity of the part is large, it is difficult to install; moreover, the installation is time-consuming, and the operation space for tightening the bolts is limited.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In the exemplary embodiment, the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 is used for installation to the vehicle body, and the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 includes a support body 1, a plurality of buckles and a small number of cantilever arms 2, each of which can be provided with a first threaded hole 201. The buckle and the cantilever arm 2 are connected to the support body 1 and can be arranged along the periphery, and the first threaded hole 201 can be a bolt through hole. Exemplarily, the number of first threaded holes 201 for connecting the vehicle body in the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 can be four. Compared with using six bolts, using fewer bolts can make the installation easy and reduce the assembly time; in addition, four bolts cooperating with the buckle can provide sufficient connection strength and help maintain the rigidity of the support body 1 to achieve the supporting effect.

[0040] The support body 1 includes an upper edge 12, a lower edge 13 and two side edges 11 connected between the upper edge 12 and the lower edge 13. Exemplarily, the two side edges 11 can be a left side edge 1110 and a right side edge 1120, respectively.

[0041] Two first buckles 3 are arranged at the rear side of the two side strips 11, for example, one first buckle 3 is arranged at the rear side of the left side strip 1110 along the X-axis direction, and the other first buckle 3 is arranged at the rear side of the right side strip 1120. The first buckles 3 can be inserted and buckled along the X-axis direction. The left first buckle 3 can be buckled to the left water tank support 1220, and the right first buckle 3 can be buckled to the right water tank support 1230, in combination with Figure 4 As shown, the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 can be connected to the left water tank support 1220 and the right water tank support 1230.

[0042] Two second buckles 4 are arranged on the lower edge strip 13, and the two second buckles 4 are arranged with intervals along the Y-axis direction. For example, the left second buckle 4 is arranged with an interval from the left side strip 1110, and the right second buckle 4 is arranged with an interval from the right side strip 1120. The second buckles 4 can be inserted and buckled along the X-axis direction. The second buckles 4 are used to be buckled to the front bumper beam 1300. In combination with Figure 4 As shown, the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 can be connected to the front bumper beam 1300.

[0043] The cantilever 2 is arranged at the rear side of the upper edge strip 12 along the X-axis direction. The cantilever 2 extends along the X-axis direction, and the first screw hole 201 of the cantilever 2 can be arranged along the Z-axis direction or other mounting direction. The first screw hole 201 corresponds to the upper water tank beam 1210. In combination with Figure 4 As shown, the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 can be connected to the upper water tank beam 1210.

[0044] The automobile front bumper middle support 1100 is arranged with the first buckles 3 and the second buckles 4, so that the number of the first screw holes 201 can be reduced to four. In combination with Figure 4 The front bumper beam 1300, the upper water tank beam 1210, the left water tank support 1220, and the right water tank support 1230 can be used to form a vehicle body frame, and the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 can be mounted to the vehicle body frame.

[0045] The method for assembling the automobile 1000 can include the following steps. The front bumper skin 1430 is connected to the upper grid 1410 and the lower grid 1420 respectively; the upper grid 1410 and the lower grid 1420 are connected to the automobile front bumper middle support 1100; the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 is buckled to the front bumper beam 1300, the left water tank support 1220, and the right water tank support 1230; and the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 is connected to the upper water tank beam 1210 by bolts. For example, the method further includes the step of connecting the bumper foam 1500 to the automobile front bumper middle support 1100.

[0046] The automobile front bumper middle support 1100 of the present application can reduce the installation difficulty and save the installation time. The fewer connection points can weaken the upper edge strip 12, avoid excessive rigidity, and be beneficial to the deformation and energy absorption of the upper edge strip 12 in the impact process. The cooperation of the buckle and the first screw hole 201 fixes the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 to the vehicle body along the outer periphery, the connection state of the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 is good, and the self structure shape is maintained well. The automobile front bumper middle support 1100 can effectively support the front bumper skin 1430 and the front bumper foam 1500 and other structures.

[0047] In some embodiments, the frame body 1 further comprises a plurality of connecting rods 14 connected between the upper edge strip 12 and the lower edge strip 13, and the adjacent two connecting rods 14 have a spacing. The plurality of connecting rods 14 can enhance the structural strength of the upper edge strip 12 and the lower edge strip 13, thereby enhancing the overall rigidity of the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 to ensure the support use function. At the same time, the connecting rods 14 have a spacing, which can reduce the weight, and can also be used for front and rear ventilation, and the airflow can be used to cool the components on the rear side.

[0048] Exemplarily, the upper part of the connecting rod 14 is thicker than the lower part of the connecting rod 14, and the structural strength of the lower part of the connecting rod 14 is lower. The middle part of the connecting rod 14 is thicker than the upper part of the connecting rod 14. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting rod 14 in the XY plane can be a hollow structure of a general shape, and the opening of the connecting rod 14 faces forward.

[0049] The upper part of the side edge strip 11 can also be thicker than the lower part. The left side edge strip 1110 and the right side edge strip 1120 can be the same, symmetrical or different.

[0050] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the side edge strip 11 comprises a side edge main body 111 and a side edge convex box 112. The side edge convex box 112 protrudes to the rear side relative to the side edge main body 111, and the side edge convex box 112 can be located at a middle position of the side edge main body 111 along the Z-axis direction. The first buckle 3 is arranged on the side edge convex box 112, so that the first buckle 3 protrudes a certain distance to the rear side relative to the side edge main body 111 along the X-axis direction. By means of the side edge convex box 112, the position of the first buckle 3 can be designed and adjusted, so as to adapt the first buckle 3 to the appropriate position of the water tank left support 1220 or the water tank right support 1230. The side edge convex box 112 can enhance the rigidity of the side edge strip 11 and the automobile front bumper middle support 1100, and also can ensure the structural strength and connection stability of the first buckle 3. Exemplarily, the cross section of the side edge convex box 112 in the XZ plane is generally a trapezoidal structure, and the rear end of the side edge convex box 112 is small and the front end is large.

[0051] The first clasp 3 can include a first clamping plate 31 and a second reinforcing rib 32. The first clamping plate 31 can extend substantially along the XY plane, and the first clamping plate 31 is used to achieve clamping, for example, a first clamping hole is formed in the first clamping plate 31. Alternatively, the left water tank support 1220 and the right water tank support 1230 can be respectively provided with metal clamps. The second reinforcing rib 32 is arranged on the left and right sides of the first clamping plate 31. The second reinforcing rib 32 can be arranged on the upper side of the first clamping plate 31 to avoid affecting the bottom surface butt joint.

[0052] The first clasp 3 can further include a third reinforcing rib 33, for example, three third reinforcing ribs 33, which can be located on the front side of the first clamping hole. The third reinforcing rib 33 is also arranged on the upper side of the first clamping plate 31, and the second reinforcing rib 32 and the third reinforcing rib 33 can be high at the front end and low at the rear end, and both are triangular plates.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 The second clasp 4 can include a second clamping plate 41 and a fourth reinforcing rib 42. The second clamping plate 41 is used to achieve clamping, for example, a second clamping hole is formed in the second clamping plate 41. Alternatively, the front bumper cross beam 1300 can be provided with a metal clamp. The fourth reinforcing rib 42 is arranged on the left and right sides of the second clamping plate 41. The fourth reinforcing rib 42 can be located on the lower side of the second clamping plate 41, which helps to avoid affecting the upper side of the second clasp 4 to butt joint. The second clasp 4 and the first clasp 3 have a gap along the Z-axis direction, and are arranged oppositely, which is beneficial to improve the connection strength. The two second clamps 4 can be substantially at the same height level along the Z-axis direction. The fourth reinforcing rib 42 can be a triangular plate.

[0054] In combination Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the cantilever 2 includes a first cantilever 210, a second cantilever 220, a third cantilever 230 and a fourth cantilever 240 arranged in sequence from left to right. The four cantilevers 2 have a gap along the Y-axis direction, and can be substantially at the same height level along the Z-axis direction.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first cantilever 210 and the fourth cantilever 240 are respectively located at the position of the corresponding side bar 11 of the upper edge bar 12. The first cantilever 210 and the fourth cantilever 240 are close to the two ends of the upper edge bar 12, and then the first screw hole 201 of the first cantilever 210 and the first screw hole 201 of the fourth cantilever 240 are close to the side edge. The two first screw holes 201 are close to the side edge, and in the case that the water tank upper cross beam 1210 is relatively strong in rigidity, the upper edge bar 12 and the bracket body 1 also have a certain rigidity, the first cantilever 210 and the fourth cantilever 240 are far apart, which can be easily installed, and after being connected by screws, it is beneficial to ensure the overall rigidity of the automobile front bumper middle support 1100. Alternatively, the water tank upper cross beam 1210 is provided with four corresponding threaded holes, or is provided with threaded seats.

[0056] The distance between the second cantilever 220 and the third cantilever 230 can be greater than the distance between the second cantilever 220 and the first cantilever 210, and can also be greater than the distance between the third cantilever 230 and the fourth cantilever 240. The distance refers to the dimension along the upper edge 12, which can also be the dimension along the Y-axis direction for simplicity. The section of the upper edge 12 between the second cantilever 220 and the third cantilever 230 is longer, and thus has lower structural strength, which is beneficial for deformation to protect pedestrians in the event of an accidental impact. The second cantilever 220 and the third cantilever 230 can improve the structural stiffness on the basis of the first cantilever 210 and the fourth cantilever 240 to ensure the supporting capacity. The layout of the four cantilevers 2 is beneficial for balancing the modal, and is easy to install.

[0057] Exemplarily, the cantilever 2 includes a connecting plate 21 and a first reinforcing rib 22 surrounding the connecting plate 21, and the connecting plate 21 is provided with a first screw hole 201. The first reinforcing rib 22 can be arranged on the upper side of the connecting plate 21 to avoid affecting the lower bottom abutting the upper cross beam 1210 of the water tank. By arranging the first reinforcing rib 22, the structural strength of the cantilever 2 itself is better.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the upper edge 12 includes an upper edge body 121 and a plurality of grooves 122, for example, four grooves 122 corresponding to the four cantilevers 2. The cross section of the upper edge body 121 in the XZ plane can be a folded shape, for example, approximately a U-shaped. The groove 122 is recessed to the rear side relative to the upper edge body 121, and the groove opening of the groove 122 faces the front side and penetrates through the upper edge body 121. The transverse dimension of the cantilever 2 and the transverse dimension of the groove 122 are approximately equivalent, and the groove weakens the structure of the upper edge body 121, avoids the structural rigidity of the cantilever 2 being too high, and can improve the energy absorption capacity of the upper edge 12. At the same time, the groove 122 can reduce the overall weight of the automobile front bumper middle support 1100. Exemplarily, a weight-reducing weakening hole is also arranged at other positions of the top bending portion of the upper edge body 121.

[0059] The upper edge strip 12 is provided with a second threaded hole 101 for connecting the upper grid 1410, and a bolt can be arranged therein. The lower edge strip 13 is provided with a third threaded hole 102 for connecting the lower grid 1420, and a bolt can be arranged therein. In some embodiments, the front face of the bracket body 1 matches the shape of the front bumper skin 1430. The front bumper skin 1430 can be fixed to the upper grid 1410 by clamping and bolt connection, and can be fixed to the lower grid 1420 by clamping and bolt connection. The automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 can provide a mounting position and ensure the assembly space. The automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 is used for bolt connection of the upper grid 1410 and the lower grid 1420 to mount the front bumper skin 1430, and the lower grid 1420 does not affect the clamping of the second buckle 4 of the automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 to the front bumper beam 1300, and the assembly of the front and rear sides is easy to perform.

[0060] Optionally, the second threaded hole 101 is arranged substantially along the Z-axis direction, and the third threaded hole 102 is arranged substantially along the X-axis direction. During assembly, the lower grid 1420 and the automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 can be connected by bolts from the front side or the rear side, and the upper grid 1410 and the automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 can be connected by other bolts from the upper side.

[0061] In some embodiments, the lower edge strip 13 includes a lower edge body 131 and a connecting block 132. The lower edge body 131 has a substantially angular cross-sectional shape in the XZ plane. The connecting block 132 is arranged on the rear side of the lower edge body 131, and the connecting block 132 is thicker than the lower edge body 131, which is easy to arrange a third threaded hole 102 with sufficient length and also ensures its own strength, while the lower edge body 131 is more likely to deform and absorb energy under the premise of having a certain structural rigidity.

[0062] Among the five connecting blocks 132 included in the lower edge strip 13, the second connecting block 132 and the fourth connecting block 132 are located below the corresponding second buckle 4. Furthermore, among the five third threaded holes 102, the second third threaded hole 102 and the fourth third threaded hole 102 are arranged below the two second buckles 4. The structure is relatively rigid at the second buckle 4, and by optimizing the layout of the third threaded hole 102, the automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 is easy to install with the front side structure or with the rear side structure, and the layout of each connecting part on the bracket body 1 of the automobile front bumper middle bracket 1100 ensures the overall structural rigidity.

[0063] Optionally, the upper edge strip 12 is provided with eight second threaded holes 101, which can be arranged in the upper edge body 121 or in some groove bodies 122 not corresponding to the cantilever 2, and the groove bodies 122 also open upward. For example, the left side of the first cantilever 210 can be provided with one second threaded hole 101, and the right side of the fourth cantilever 240 can also be provided with one second threaded hole 101. The upper edge strip 12 can also be provided with a connecting column extending along the Z-axis direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, the automobile front bumper middle support 1100 further comprises third buckles 5. The number of the third buckles 5 can be four. The third buckles 5 are arranged on the lower edge strip 13, and the third buckles 5 are arranged along the Y-axis direction with intervals and are at substantially the same height along the Z-axis direction. The third buckles 5 are used for buckling the pedestrian protection foam 1500, and the pedestrian protection foam 1500 is connected to the automobile front bumper middle support 1100. Figure 4

[0065] The pedestrian protection foam 1500 is used for protecting pedestrians in the event of an unexpected impact.
