[0035] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this specification. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this specification without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this specification.

[0036] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this specification. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0037] Currently, continuous taillights have become a trend in modern automotive design. However, integrated continuous taillights are long, have a large curvature, and are expensive to manufacture. Continuous taillights require numerous matching parts, resulting in a long dimensional chain, making dimensional matching control difficult, leading to long repair times, and failing to meet manufacturing pace. This results in significant issues with overall vehicle appearance matching, impacting the overall vehicle DTS (Design for System) matching effect and customer perception.

[0038] In view of this, according to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a combined front through-light, including a vehicle body frame 1, a through-light body and a front bumper 5.

[0039] The main body of the through light consists of a central through light 4 and symmetrical left through light 2 and right through light 3, with the left through light 2 and right through light 3 connected to the two sides of the central through light 4 respectively.

[0040] The through-light body is also equipped with multiple positioning pins and tightening surfaces to fix the through-light body to the vehicle frame 1.

[0041] The front bumper 5 is fixedly connected to the front side of the body frame 1, and the top of the front bumper 5 is snapped together with the through light body.

[0042] In this embodiment, the through light is divided into a middle through light 4 and symmetrical left through light 2 and right through light 3. Multiple tightening surfaces and positioning pins are used to ensure that the gap between it and the surrounding parts meets the DTS requirements, thereby improving the appearance matching quality of the front of the vehicle.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the central through-light 4 has a first tightening surface 41 and a second tightening surface 43 on its rear ends and rear middle section, respectively. The first tightening surface 41 and the second tightening surface 43 are connected to the vehicle frame 1 to perform Z-axis positioning connection for the central through-light 4. In addition, since the central through-light 4 has a certain length, in order to improve the stability of the central through-light 4, an auxiliary tightening surface 44 is provided between the first tightening surface 41 and the second tightening surface 43. The auxiliary tightening surface 44 is connected to the vehicle frame 1, thereby improving the connection strength between the central through-light 4 and the vehicle frame 1.

[0044] Furthermore, the lower front end of the central through light 4 is provided with multiple first locking feet 45. The first locking feet 45 are snapped together with the top of the front bumper 5 and inserted into the slots of the front bumper 5 to control the dimensions of the central through light 4 and the front bumper 5 in the X direction. The central through light 4 is assembled from top to bottom. First, the first locking feet 45 are inserted into the corresponding slots of the front bumper 5. Then, the positioning surfaces 42 are inserted into the first positioning pins 23 of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. Finally, each tightening surface is tightened in sequence.

[0045] Furthermore, according to Figure 2 As shown, the structures of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 in this embodiment are symmetrical. Therefore, this embodiment will be described using the left through light 2 as an example, and the structure of the right through light 3 will not be described again.

[0046] The left through light 2 and the right through light 3 are respectively provided with a third tightening surface 21 and a fourth tightening surface 22 at both ends. The third tightening surface 21 and the fourth tightening surface 22 are connected to the vehicle frame 1. The third tightening surface 21 and the fourth tightening surface 22 are tightened in the Z direction to perform Z-direction positioning connection of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, a first positioning pin 23 is also provided on the outer side of the third tightening surface 21. The first positioning pin 23 cooperates with the positioning surface 42 on the middle through light 4. A positioning surface 42 is also provided on the outer side of the first tightening surface 41. The positioning surface 42 is used for positioning and connecting the middle through light 4 with the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. The positioning surface 42 is provided with a first positioning hole, which is a rectangular hole. Its short side is used for X-axis positioning to control the X-axis surface difference between the middle through light 4 and the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. The Y-axis elongated hole is adjustable, and the gap plug is used to control the consistency of the gap on the left and right sides.

[0048] Furthermore, a second positioning pin 24 is provided on the side of the fourth tightening surface 22. The second positioning pin 24 cooperates with the second positioning hole on the body frame 1 to perform Y-direction positioning connection for the left through light 2 and the right through light 3.

[0049] Furthermore, the lower ends of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 are provided with a fifth tightening surface 25 and a sixth tightening surface 26, respectively. These surfaces connect to the vehicle frame 1 and are tightened in the X direction to control the X-axis positioning of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. A third positioning pin 27 is also provided beside the fifth tightening surface 25. This pin engages with a positioning hole on the vehicle frame 1 to provide Z-axis and Y-axis positioning for the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. During X-axis assembly, the second positioning pin 24 and the third positioning pin 27 are first inserted into the corresponding body holes. Using the principle of two points determining a line, the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 are initially positioned on the vehicle frame 1. Then, each tightening surface is tightened sequentially. In addition, when the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 have a certain length, a seventh tightening surface 29 is provided in the middle to assist the stability between the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 and the vehicle frame 1.

[0050] Furthermore, the lower front end of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 is provided with multiple second clips 28, which are connected to the top of the front bumper 5 by a clip to control the gap between them.

[0051] Furthermore, according to Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle frame 1 in this embodiment includes a mounting beam 101 and a mounting bracket 102. The mounting bracket 102 is disposed on the front side of the mounting beam 101, and first brackets 104 are welded to both ends of the mounting bracket 102. The first brackets 104 are used for connecting the inner ends of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. The two ends of the mounting beam 101 are provided with second brackets 105 through connecting rods 102. The first brackets 104 are used for connecting the outer ends of the left through light 2 and the right through light 3, and are connected to the fender 106.

[0052] The central through light 4 is connected to the mounting bracket 102, and both ends of the central through light 4 are connected to the mounting beam 101 through the tightening surface.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first bracket 104 is welded in the X direction and adjustable in the Y and Z directions, shortening the Y-direction opening size chain for the left and right through lights. The mounting beam 101 provides a Z-direction fastening point, and the second bracket 105 provides an X-direction fastening point. Correspondingly, the mounting beam 101 and the connecting rod 102 are provided with a third tightening hole 201 and a seventh tightening hole 209, which are connected to the third tightening surface 21 and the seventh tightening surface 29 on the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. The first bracket 104 is provided with a fifth tightening hole 205 and a third positioning hole 207, which are connected to the fifth tightening surface 25 and the third positioning pin 27 on the left through light 2 and the right through light 3. The second bracket 105 is provided with a fourth tightening hole 202, a second positioning hole 204, and a sixth tightening hole 206, which are connected to the fourth tightening surface 22, the second positioning pin 24, and the sixth tightening surface 26 on the left through light 2 and the right through light 3, ensuring the stability between the left through light 2 and the right through light 3 and the mounting beam 101.

[0054] In addition, a first tightening hole 401 is provided at the connection between the mounting beam 101 and the connecting rod 102, which is connected to the first tightening surface 41 on the intermediate through light 4; a second tightening hole 403 and an auxiliary tightening hole 404 are provided on the mounting bracket 102, which are connected to the second tightening surface 43 and the auxiliary tightening surface 44 on the intermediate through light 4, to ensure the stability between the intermediate through light 4 and the mounting bracket 102.
