Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a rear bumper support and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the advancement of science and technology, automobiles have gradually become people's main means of transportation, and people's expectations for the driving experience are also increasing. During driving, the vehicle shakes and vibrates, causing the rear bumper to collide with the tow hook assembly installed at the rear of the vehicle.

[0003] The prior art discloses a bumper that reduces bumper vibration by setting a positioning sleeve, a positioning rod, and a buffer between the bumper and the vehicle body frame.

[0004] However, by installing positioning sleeves, positioning rods, and buffer components between the bumper and the frame, manufacturing costs and assembly workload were increased. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a rear bumper support and a vehicle to solve the problem of vibration and collision between the rear bumper assembly and the tow hook assembly during driving in existing vehicles.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] On one hand, this application provides a rear bumper support, including a support body having a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other. The first end of the support body is connected to the rear bumper assembly, and the second end of the support body is connected to a trailer hitch assembly.

[0008] According to the aforementioned technical means, connecting the rear bumper assembly and the tow hook assembly of the vehicle through the support component body can improve the rigidity of the rear bumper assembly, reduce its vibration during vehicle operation, or weaken the vibration amplitude, thus preventing a collision between the rear bumper assembly and the tow hook assembly. On the other hand, since the first end of the rear bumper support component is connected to the rear bumper assembly, and the second end is connected to the tow hook assembly, the rear bumper support component is positioned between the rear bumper assembly and the tow hook assembly. In this case, when the rear bumper assembly vibrates, the support component, being positioned between the rear bumper assembly and the tow hook assembly, provides support to the rear bumper assembly as it moves towards the tow hook assembly, preventing it from further approaching the tow hook assembly and thus avoiding a collision.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the rear bumper support includes a first nut, a second nut, a first bolt, and a second bolt. The first nut is connected to a first end, and the first bolt is threadedly connected to the first nut. The second nut is connected to a second end, and the second bolt is threadedly connected to the second nut. The first end has a first mounting hole, and the first nut is coaxially aligned with the first mounting hole. The second end has a second mounting hole, and the second nut is coaxially aligned with the second mounting hole.

[0010] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the bumper support can be connected between the rear bumper assembly and the trailer hitch assembly through the first nut, the second nut, the first bolt and the second bolt.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the support body has a limiting portion that engages with the trailer hook assembly, the limiting portion being used to prevent the support body from rotating relative to the trailer hook assembly.

[0012] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, the limiting part can be used to prevent the support body from rotating relative to the trailer hook assembly, which facilitates the installation and fixing of the support body.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the support body is provided with a reinforcing portion.

[0014] Based on the above technical means, the reinforcement can enhance the structural rigidity of the support component, making it less prone to deformation when subjected to compression, thus providing better support for the rear bumper assembly.

[0015] In one possible implementation, a first flange is provided on one side of the support body, and a second flange is provided on the other side of the support body, with the first flange and the second flange arranged opposite to each other.

[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the first and second flanges can further enhance the rigidity of the support body.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the support body is made by a stamping process.

[0018] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, the support body can be manufactured by stamping process, which can make the support body have good consistency and good assembly accuracy.

[0019] In one possible implementation, there are multiple support bodies, which are spaced apart.

[0020] Based on the aforementioned technical means, using multiple support components connected between the rear bumper assembly and the trailer hitch assembly can better reduce the vibration of the rear bumper assembly.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the number of support bodies is three.

[0022] Based on the aforementioned technical means, using multiple support components connected between the rear bumper assembly and the trailer hitch assembly can better reduce the vibration of the rear bumper assembly.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the number of support bodies is four.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical means, using multiple support components connected between the rear bumper assembly and the trailer hitch assembly can better reduce the vibration of the rear bumper assembly.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the support body includes a first mounting section and a second mounting section. The first mounting section has a first end, and one end of a connecting section is connected to the first mounting section. The second mounting section has a second end, and the other end of the connecting section is connected to the second mounting section.

[0026] According to the above-mentioned technical means, the support body can be connected to the rear bumper assembly through the first mounting section and to the trailer hitch assembly through the second mounting section.

[0027] On the other hand, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the rear bumper support mentioned above.

[0028] Since the vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes any of the rear bumper support components mentioned above, it can solve the same technical problems as the aforementioned rear bumper support components and achieve the same technical effects, so it will not be described again here.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0040] This application provides a vehicle. The specific type of vehicle is not specifically limited in this application; for example, the vehicle provided in this application can be an electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a solar-powered vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle provided in this application can also be of different forms. For example, the vehicle provided in this application can be a sedan, a sport utility vehicle (SUV), or a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).

[0041] The vehicle may include a frame. The frame may form the overall shape of the vehicle's exterior and create a passenger seating space. The frame may include door structures through which users can enter and exit.

[0042] Furthermore, to enable vehicle propulsion, the vehicle may also include an electric drive system assembly. The electric drive system assembly may include an electric drive system. This electric drive system may include a drive motor and a reducer. The drive motor provides power, and the reducer can be connected to the drive motor. The reducer can regulate the speed, allowing the vehicle to operate at different speeds. Depending on the driving method, the electric drive system can be categorized into front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive configurations.

[0043] In addition, the vehicle may include a transmission system that can be connected to an electric drive system to transmit power generated by the engine to the wheels.

[0044] To supply power to electrical components such as the drive motor, the vehicle provided in this application embodiment also includes a battery system. The battery system may include a battery pack, which can be used to provide electrical energy. The battery pack can be connected to the vehicle's electric drive system and other electrical components. In this way, the electrical energy from the battery pack can be transferred to various components of the vehicle for power supply.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the vehicle may also include a rear bumper assembly 1 and a tow hook assembly 2. The rear bumper assembly 1, as an important component of the vehicle body, can beautify the vehicle's appearance and protect the frame. However, during vehicle operation, the rear bumper assembly 1 will also vibrate due to vehicle bumps. When the rear bumper assembly 1 vibrates, it may collide with other components of the vehicle, such as the tow hook assembly 2.

[0046] For example, due to the poor rigidity of the edge portion 10 of the rear bumper assembly 1, during vehicle travel, bumps may cause significant vibrations in the edge portion 10, potentially damaging the tow hook assembly 2 and preventing it from functioning properly. For example, if... Figure 3 As shown, the edge portion 10 of the rear bumper assembly 1 bumps into the motor cover 20 of the trailer hitch assembly 2, causing the motor inside the motor cover 20 to malfunction, thus preventing the trailer hitch assembly 2 from working properly.

[0047] To address the issue of damage to tow hook assembly 2 caused by the rear bumper assembly 1 colliding with it, such as... Figure 4 As shown in the figure, this application embodiment provides a rear bumper support 3, which includes a support body 30. The support body 30 has a first end 31 and a second end 32 disposed opposite to each other. The first end 31 of the support body 30 is connected to the rear bumper assembly 1, and the second end 32 of the support body 30 is connected to the trailer hitch assembly 2.

[0048] In this way, by connecting the rear bumper assembly 1 and the tow hook assembly 2 of the vehicle through the support body 30, the rigidity of the rear bumper assembly 1 can be improved, the vibration of the rear bumper assembly 1 during vehicle operation can be reduced, or the vibration amplitude of the rear bumper assembly 1 can be weakened, thus preventing the rear bumper assembly 1 from colliding with the tow hook assembly 2.

[0049] On the other hand, since the first end 31 of the rear bumper support 3 is connected to the rear bumper assembly 1, and the second end 32 of the rear bumper support 3 is connected to the trailer hitch assembly 2, the rear bumper support 3 is positioned between the rear bumper assembly 1 and the trailer hitch assembly 2. In this case, when the rear bumper assembly 1 vibrates, during the vibration process, because the rear bumper support 3 is positioned between the rear bumper assembly 1 and the trailer hitch assembly 2, when the rear bumper assembly 1 moves towards the trailer hitch assembly 2, the rear bumper support 3 connected to the rear bumper assembly 1 can provide support for the rear bumper assembly 1, preventing the rear bumper assembly 1 from continuing to approach the trailer hitch assembly 2, thereby avoiding a collision between the rear bumper assembly 1 and the trailer hitch assembly 2.

[0050] It should be noted that the support body 30 provided in this application is manufactured using a stamping process. Stamping ensures high stability and consistency in production quality, guaranteeing good assembly quality.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the rear bumper support 3 provided in this application includes a first nut 301 and a first bolt 3001.

[0052] The first nut 301 is connected to the first end 31 of the rear bumper support 3, for example, by welding. The first end 31 of the rear bumper support 3 also has a first mounting hole 310, with the first nut 301 coaxially arranged with the first mounting hole 310. Thus, the first bolt 3001 can first pass through the rear bumper assembly 1, and then through the first nut 301 and the first mounting hole 310, with the first bolt 3001 threadedly connected to the first nut 301, thereby achieving the connection between the first end 31 of the rear bumper support 3 and the rear bumper assembly 1.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the rear bumper support 3 also includes a second nut 302 and a second bolt 3002.

[0054] The second nut 302 is connected to the second end 32 of the rear bumper support 3, for example, by welding. Based on this, the second end 32 of the rear bumper support 3 is also provided with a second mounting hole 320, and the second nut 302 is coaxially arranged with the second mounting hole 320. Thus, the second bolt 3002 can first pass through the rear bumper assembly 1, and then pass through the second nut 302 and the second mounting hole 320, and the second bolt 3002 is threadedly connected to the second nut 302, thereby achieving the connection between the second end 32 of the rear bumper support 3 and the rear bumper assembly 1.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the support body 30 provided in this application has a limiting part 300, which engages with the trailer hitch assembly 2. This limiting part 300 prevents the support body 30 from rotating relative to the trailer hitch assembly 2. Therefore, during the process of installing the support body 30 between the rear bumper assembly 1 and the trailer hitch assembly 2 using the first bolt 3001 and the second bolt 3002, the support body 30 will not rotate, ensuring that the support body 30 is properly installed.

[0056] It should be noted that, in order for the limiting part 300 of the support body 30 to engage with the trailer hook assembly 2, the trailer hook assembly 2 is provided with a limiting plate, which has a limiting hole that matches the limiting part 300.

[0057] In this way, when using the first bolt 3001 and the second bolt 3002 to install and fix the support body 30, the limiting part 300 can be inserted into the limiting hole of the limiting plate provided on the trailer hook assembly 2, so that the limiting part 300 is engaged with the limiting hole, thus preventing the support body 30 from rotating relative to the rear bumper assembly 1 or the trailer hook assembly 2.

[0058] Furthermore, it should be noted that the matching of the limiting part 300 with the limiting hole means that when the limiting part 300 is inserted into the limiting hole, the outer peripheral wall of the limiting part 300 can abut against the inner wall of the limiting hole. For example, the limiting part 300 can be a flat plate-like structure. Figure 5 Therefore, the limiting hole can be an approximately rectangular through hole. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the limiting part 300 can be a triangular prism, and the limiting hole can be a triangular through hole capable of abutting against the triangular prism. This application does not limit the limiting part 300 and the limiting hole, as long as the support body 30 does not rotate relative to the rear bumper assembly 1 or the trailer hitch assembly 2.

[0059] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the support body 30 provided in this application is further provided with a reinforcing part 3000. The reinforcing part 3000 may be a rib formed by stamping during the manufacturing of the support body 30 by a stamping process.

[0060] In this way, when the vehicle is in motion, the rear bumper assembly 1 vibrates and moves toward the trailer hitch assembly 2 and presses against the support body 30. The reinforcing part 3000 provided on the support body 30 improves the structural rigidity of the support body 30, making the support body 30 less prone to deformation when subjected to compression, thus providing more stable support for the rear bumper assembly 1.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a first flange 311 is provided on one side of the support body 30, and a second flange 322 is provided on the other side of the support body 30. The first flange 311 and the second flange 322 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0062] In this way, by setting the first flange 311 and the second flange 322 on the opposite sides of the support body 30, the overall structural rigidity of the support body 30 can be further enhanced, so that the support body 30 is not easily deformed when subjected to external force, thereby providing better support for the rear bumper assembly 1.

[0063] In addition, it should be noted that the first flange 311 and the second flange 322 mentioned above can be processed together when the support body 30 is formed by stamping.

[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, the support body 30 provided in this application includes a first mounting section 30001, which has the aforementioned first end 31. The support body 30 also includes a connecting section 30002, one end of which is connected to the first mounting section 30001. The support body 30 also includes a second mounting section 30003, which has the aforementioned second end 32, and the other end of the connecting section 30002 is connected to the second mounting section 30003.

[0065] Furthermore, it should be noted that the first mounting section 30001 and the second mounting section 30003 are located on opposite sides of the connecting section and extend in opposite directions. This allows the first end 31 and the second end 32 to be located on opposite sides of the connecting section 30002, so that the support body 30 can be installed and fixed using the first bolt 3001 and the second bolt 3002.

[0066] In some embodiments of this application, there may be multiple support bodies 30, and these multiple support bodies 30 may be spaced apart along the rear bumper assembly 1. Furthermore, all multiple support bodies 30 are connected to the rear bumper assembly 1 and the trailer hitch assembly 2.

[0067] For example, in some embodiments, the number of support bodies 30 can be three.

[0068] In some other embodiments of this application, the number of support bodies 30 may also be four.

[0069] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
