The terminology used herein in the template description is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0037] In related technologies, with the increasing diversification of automotive applications, SUVs, pickup trucks, and other models are widely popular due to their excellent off-road capability and cargo capacity, and the number of people driving for long-distance travel and off-road activities has also increased significantly. To cope with complex and harsh road conditions, car owners often modify their vehicles, with front bumper modifications being a common way to improve vehicle protection. However, front bumper modifications have significant technical problems: the modified front bumpers have a monotonous design, mostly replacing the original bumper, resulting in an inconsistent appearance and disrupting the original vehicle's overall structural style and aesthetic features. Furthermore, it is difficult to balance protective performance with vehicle aerodynamics, affecting vehicle stability.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a car front bumper, which includes a crossbeam 100, an outer plate and a protective bar 200. The outer plate has a clearance space in the middle and is connected to the crossbeam 100. The protective bar 200 is disposed in the clearance space and is connected to the crossbeam 100.

[0039] In these embodiments, the crossbeam 100 serves as the main support structure of the front bumper assembly, providing basic collision protection and ensuring the stability and robustness of the entire front bumper assembly. For example, the crossbeam 100 is integrated with the vehicle chassis. Of course, in other embodiments, the crossbeam 100 may also be detachably connected to the vehicle chassis; this is not specifically limited here.

[0040] The outer panel is the exterior portion of the front bumper assembly, featuring a central clearance space that allows for the addition of additional protective measures without altering or significantly altering the original vehicle's exterior design. The outer panel is connected to the crossbeam 100, ensuring structural integrity and stability.

[0041] For example, as described below, in this embodiment, the outer panel is configured as two parts, and the area between the two parts constitutes the clearance space. Of course, in other embodiments, the clearance space can also be formed by opening a hole in the middle of the outer panel. Naturally, to further improve the integrity of the outer panel and the guardrail 200, the shape of the clearance space should match the shape of the guardrail 200. For example, if the guardrail 200 is square, the clearance space should also be square.

[0042] The bumper 200 is positioned within the clearance space in the center of the outer panel and is directly connected to the crossbeam 100. This design allows the bumper 200 to provide additional frontal collision protection without affecting the vehicle's appearance or aerodynamic performance. In other words, the bumper 200 and the outer panel are integrated as much as possible, avoiding the need to completely replace the original front bumper's outer panel.

[0043] This application integrates the protective bumper 200 into the clearance space of the outer panel while maintaining the overall appearance continuity of the outer panel. The crossbeam 100, as the main supporting structure, is fixedly connected to the outer panel, providing overall rigid support. The protective bumper 200, positioned within the clearance space of the outer panel and connected to the crossbeam 100, enhances protective performance while avoiding disruption to the original vehicle's appearance, thereby increasing the overall strength and impact resistance of the front bumper and effectively handling complex road conditions. Furthermore, by optimizing the design of the protective bumper 200 and the outer panel, the impact on vehicle aerodynamics is reduced, improving driving stability. Clearly, the protective bumper 200 can integrate functional components such as a winch mount 212, a tow hook 400, and lighting fixtures 300 to meet diverse usage needs. Moreover, by using a low-density material for the protective plate 220 and a weight-reducing structure, the overall weight of the front bumper assembly is reduced while maintaining protective performance.

[0044] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the guard bar 200 is embedded in the clearance space, so that the overall appearance of the outer panel presents continuity.

[0045] These embodiments not only enhance the protection of the vehicle's front end, but also ensure the consistency and aesthetics of the front bumper assembly with the original vehicle's appearance.

[0046] By embedding the protective bar 200 into the clearance space, the outer panel surface looks smoother and more consistent, without any abrupt parts, thus maintaining the original aesthetic features of the vehicle.

[0047] Since the 200-inch protective bar does not significantly affect the overall outline of the outer panel after being embedded in the clearance space, it helps to maintain or even optimize the vehicle's aerodynamic performance, reduce wind resistance, and improve driving stability.

[0048] It should be noted that the primary function of the bumper 200 is to protect the vehicle's powertrain. Although the bumper 200 is embedded in the obstacle space, it still provides effective frontal collision protection, especially in complex road conditions or off-road environments, where it effectively absorbs and disperses collision energy.

[0049] Considering that the bumper 200 needs to meet both strength and lightweight requirements, high-strength steel, aluminum alloy, or other composite materials are typically chosen. These materials not only provide sufficient protection but also reduce weight, which helps improve the overall performance of the vehicle.

[0050] For example, the connection method between the guard bar 200, the crossbeam 100, and the outer panel needs to ensure structural stability without affecting the appearance. For example, it can be achieved through bolt fixing, welding, or other mechanical connection methods.

[0051] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the outer panel includes a first flange portion 500 and a second flange portion 600. The first flange portion 500 is connected to one end of the crossbeam 100, and the second flange portion 600 is connected to the other end of the crossbeam 100. A clearance space is defined between the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600.

[0052] In these embodiments, the outer panel is further refined, comprising a first flange portion 500 and a second flange portion 600. These two portions are respectively connected to both ends of the crossbeam 100, and a clearance space is defined between the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600. That is, the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600 can be two separate parts. This configuration not only enhances the overall integrity and stability of the structure but also provides better protective performance and aesthetic consistency. For example, in this embodiment, the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600 are formed by cutting off the middle portion of the original vehicle's front bumper outer panel and retaining both ends of the outer panel.

[0053] The first flange portion 500 is connected to one end of the crossbeam 100, while the second flange portion 600 is connected to the other end of the crossbeam 100. These two flange portions extend outwards from both sides of the crossbeam 100, forming an enclosing structure. The clearance space defined by the area between the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600 is used to accommodate the guard bar 200. This design allows the guard bar 200 to be embedded within it, ensuring the continuity and smoothness of the outer panel surface.

[0054] The robust connection between the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600 and the crossbeam 100 enhances the structural strength and rigidity of the entire front bumper assembly, improving the vehicle's protection capabilities in a collision. By embedding the protective bar 200 into the clearance space, the outer panel surface remains smooth and continuous, without any abrupt parts, thus better preserving the original vehicle's design style and aesthetic features.

[0055] Furthermore, clearance helps reduce the impact on the overall outline of the outer panel, thereby maintaining or improving the vehicle's aerodynamic performance, reducing wind resistance, and improving driving stability and fuel economy.

[0056] Of course, to ensure the stability of the connection between the first flange portion 500, the second flange portion 600 and the guard bar 200, the first flange portion 500 and the second flange portion 600 are respectively connected to the guard bar 200. This connection method can be adhesive, bolt connection and snap-fit ​​connection.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the guardrail 200 includes a guard frame 210, a guard plate 220, and a bull bar 230. The guard frame 210 is connected to the crossbeam 100, the guard plate 220 is connected to the guard frame 210, and the guard plate 220 is located on the side of the guard frame 210 away from the crossbeam 100; the bull bar 230 is connected to the guard frame 210, and the bull bar 230 is located on the side of the guard plate 220 away from the guard frame 210.

[0058] In these embodiments, the guard bar 200 is further refined into three main parts: a guard frame 210, a guard plate 220, and a bull bar 230, which not only enhances the protection capability of the front end of the vehicle, but also provides better structural stability and functionality.

[0059] The protective frame 210 is the core structure of the entire guardrail 200, directly connected to the crossbeam 100, providing basic support and collision protection. For example, the protective frame 210 is made of high-strength materials, such as high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure sufficient rigidity and impact resistance.

[0060] The protective plate 220 is connected to the protective frame 210 and is located on the side of the protective frame 210 opposite to the crossbeam 100. The function of the protective plate 220 is to further enhance the protective effect, especially in the case of small-area collisions or flying stones, providing an extra layer of protection.

[0061] For example, the protective plate 220 is made of a lightweight but strong material to reduce the impact on the overall weight of the vehicle while maintaining good protective performance. For example, the protective plate 220 is made of aluminum alloy plate, which, on the basis of a certain structural strength, can have the function of deformation energy absorption and is easy to straighten by sheet metal in the future.

[0062] The bull bar 230 is connected to the protective frame 210 and is located on the side of the protective plate 220 opposite to the protective frame 210. The main function of the bull bar 230 is to prevent large obstacles (such as branches, animals, etc.) from entering the front area of ​​the vehicle, providing an additional physical barrier. The bull bar 230 is configured with a specific angle and shape to optimize its protective effect and minimize its impact on the driver's vision. For example, the bull bar 230 is set in an inverted U-shape. Of course, the bull bar 230 can also be set in other shapes, such as W-shaped, M-shaped, etc. The direct connection between the bull bar 230 and the protective bar 200 allows it to withstand greater impact, reduces the strength of the protective plate 220, and reduces the overall weight. This also reduces damage to the protective plate 220 and lowers subsequent maintenance costs.

[0063] The combined design of the protective frame 210, protective plate 220, and bull bar 230 forms a multi-layered protection system, significantly improving the vehicle's protection capabilities under complex road conditions. Specifically, the protective frame 210, as the core structure, provides a stable foundation; the protective plate 220 and bull bar 230 add additional protective layers on top of this, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire protection system.

[0064] It should be noted that the protective plate 220, in conjunction with the outer panel, improves the overall integrity. In other words, although multiple protective components are added, the overall continuity and aesthetics of the outer panel are still maintained because the protective plate 220 and the protective guard are designed to be embedded within the clearance space, without compromising the original design style of the vehicle.

[0065] In some embodiments, the material density of the protective plate 220 is lower than that of the protective frame 210, and the outer surface of the protective plate 220 facing away from the crossbeam 100 and the outer surface of the outer plate facing away from the crossbeam 100 are flush, so that the protective plate 220 and the outer plate form a continuous whole.

[0066] These embodiments not only improve the protection capabilities of the vehicle's front end, but also maintain a consistent and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0067] The protective frame 210 is made of high-strength materials, such as high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, to provide sufficient rigidity and impact resistance. The protective plate 220 is made of low-density materials, such as lightweight alloys or composite materials, to ensure a certain level of protection while reducing the overall weight.

[0068] Optionally, the outer surface of the protective plate 220 facing away from the crossbeam 100 is flush with the outer surface of the outer plate facing away from the crossbeam 100, ensuring a natural and seamless transition between the two, forming a continuous overall appearance.

[0069] The use of a low-density material in the protective plate 220 helps reduce the weight of the entire front bumper assembly, thereby minimizing the negative impact on the vehicle's suspension system and fuel economy. The high-strength protective frame 210, together with the bull bar 230, provides primary collision protection, while the lightweight protective plate 220 provides an additional layer of protection against small-area collisions or flying stones, forming a multi-layered protection system.

[0070] For example, the protective frame 210 should be made of high-strength materials, such as high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, and its structural strength and rigidity should be ensured by precision forming and welding technology.

[0071] The protective plate 220 is made of lightweight materials, such as lightweight alloys or composite materials, and is processed with high precision to ensure that it can be perfectly embedded in the clearance space and flush with the outer plate.

[0072] Optionally, the protective panel 220 and the outer panel may be treated with a consistent surface finish, such as painting or coating, to ensure that they form a visually seamless whole, further enhancing aesthetics.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective plate 220 has an upper protective plate 221 and a lower protective plate 223. The upper protective plate 221 is located at the air intake on the upper part of the vehicle and has air intake holes 222 distributed thereon; the lower protective plate 223 is located on the lower part of the vehicle.

[0074] These embodiments not only provide more comprehensive protection, but also take into account the functional requirements of the vehicle, such as the layout of the air intake and aerodynamic characteristics.

[0075] For example, the protective plate 220 includes a main body, an upper protective plate 221, and a lower protective plate 223. The main body is connected to the crossbeam 100. The upper protective plate 221 is disposed at the upper end of the main body, and the lower protective plate 223 is disposed at the lower end of the main body. Optionally, the main body, the upper protective plate 221, and the lower protective plate 223 are integrated into one unit.

[0076] The upper skid plate 221 is located at the air intake on the upper part of the vehicle. The upper skid plate 221 has air intake vents 222 distributed throughout to ensure that air can smoothly enter the engine compartment to maintain the normal operation of the engine and the efficiency of the cooling system. For example, the upper skid plate 221 is made of a lightweight but strong material, such as composite materials or aluminum alloy, which provides sufficient protection without significantly increasing weight.

[0077] The underbody protection plate 223 is located under the vehicle. The underbody protection plate 223 primarily provides protection for chassis components, preventing damage to the chassis from obstacles such as rocks and branches when driving off-road or on rough terrain. For example, the underbody protection plate 223 can be made of high-strength materials, such as high-strength steel or aluminum alloy, to ensure sufficient impact resistance and durability.

[0078] The upper skid plate 221 not only provides protection but also ensures unobstructed air intake, guaranteeing normal engine operation and cooling. The lower skid plate 223 provides an additional layer of protection for the chassis, effectively reducing the risk of chassis damage, especially in off-road or harsh road conditions.

[0079] In addition, the air intake 222 on the upper skid plate 221 is carefully designed to ensure smooth airflow, which helps improve engine intake efficiency and reduce wind resistance. The smooth design of the lower skid plate 223 also helps improve airflow under the vehicle, further optimizing overall aerodynamic performance.

[0080] Optionally, the protective plate 220 can be designed in the same way as the outer plate to ensure that the appearance of the entire front bumper assembly is uniform and aesthetically pleasing, without compromising the overall design style of the original vehicle.

[0081] Of course, by selecting appropriate materials, the strength and durability of the protective plate 220 can be guaranteed while avoiding unnecessary weight increases, which helps to improve the overall performance of the vehicle.

[0082] For example, the upper guard plate 221 can be made of lightweight composite material or aluminum alloy to ensure sufficient strength and low weight. The lower guard plate 223 can be made of high-strength steel or aluminum alloy to provide better impact resistance and durability.

[0083] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective plate 220 has a weight-reducing structure.

[0084] In these embodiments, the protective plate 220 is designed with a weight-reduction structure, which not only helps reduce the overall weight but also maintains sufficient strength and protective performance. This design improves the vehicle's fuel economy and handling without compromising protective effectiveness by optimizing material layout and structural form.

[0085] For example, the protective panel 220 uses lightweight materials (such as aluminum alloys, composite materials, etc.) and is reinforced in key areas to ensure that strength is not sacrificed while reducing weight. By introducing honeycomb, mesh, or other forms of weight-reducing structures, the amount of material used is reduced while maintaining the rigidity and impact resistance of the structure.

[0086] The upper guard plate 221 is located at the upper air intake of the car, with air intake holes 222 distributed thereon, and has a weight reduction structure to ensure smooth airflow while reducing weight.

[0087] The underbody protection plate 223 is located under the vehicle and provides protection for chassis components. It also adopts a weight-reducing structure to reduce unnecessary weight burden.

[0088] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the guardrail 200 also includes a trailer hitch 400, which is connected to the guardrail 210.

[0089] In these embodiments, not only is the protection of the vehicle's front end enhanced, but additional functionality is provided, allowing for convenient towing when needed. The tow hook 400 connects directly to the guardrail 210, typically located at the lower or middle part of the guardrail 200, ensuring its stability and ease of use. The tow hook 400 is used to tow the vehicle when necessary, such as in rescue, towing, or other special situations.

[0090] The protective frame 210, as the core structure, provides primary support and collision protection, and is also the main connection point for the trailer hook 400. The trailer hook 400 is directly connected to the protective frame 210. Utilizing the high-strength structure of the protective frame 210, the stability and reliability of the trailer hook 400 are ensured, preventing loosening or damage during towing.

[0091] During assembly, the trailer hook 400 needs to be precisely aligned and securely fixed to the protective frame 210 to ensure that it will not shift or loosen during use.

[0092] For example, the trailer hook 400 is connected to the protective frame 210 by bolting, welding, or other mechanical connection methods. Optionally, the trailer hook 400 protrudes from the outer surface of the protective plate 220, and the protective plate 220 has mounting holes in which the trailer hook 400 passes.

[0093] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the guardrail 200 also includes a lighting fixture 300, and a protective space is defined between the bull bar 230 and the guard plate 220, with the lighting fixture 300 disposed in the protective space.

[0094] In these embodiments, the guardrail 200 also includes a lighting fixture 300 disposed within a protective space defined between the bull bar 230 and the guard plate 220. This design not only enhances the protection of the front of the vehicle but also provides additional functionality, improving visibility and safety at night or in low-light conditions.

[0095] The lighting fixture 300 is positioned within the protective space defined between the bull bar 230 and the guardrail 220, ensuring protection without impeding light transmission. The lighting fixture 300 enhances visibility ahead of the vehicle, providing additional light source support, particularly at night, in fog, or other low-light conditions.

[0096] The protective space, defined by the area between the bull bar 230 and the protective plate 220, provides both an installation location for the lighting fixture 300 and physical protection for it. This protective space not only prevents external objects from directly impacting the lighting fixture 300 but also reduces the impact of dust and dirt on the fixture, extending its lifespan.

[0097] For example, the lighting fixture 300 should use a durable and efficient light source, such as an LED lamp, to ensure high brightness and long life.

[0098] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the protective frame 210 defines a winch mounting portion 212 for mounting a vehicle winch, and the protective plate 220 has a cable hole 224 through which the traction cable of the vehicle winch can be threaded.

[0099] In these embodiments, the protective frame 210 also includes a dedicated winch mounting section 212 for mounting a vehicle winch. Furthermore, the protective plate 220 has a cable hole 224 through which the vehicle winch's towing cable can be threaded. This design not only enhances the protection of the vehicle's front end but also provides powerful rescue and extrication capabilities, making it particularly suitable for off-road and complex road conditions. The winch mounting section 212 is located on the protective frame 210, typically in the middle or lower part of the guardrail 200, ensuring its stability and ease of use. It is used to mount a vehicle winch, providing strong traction to help the vehicle extricate itself from trouble.

[0100] The cable hole 224 is located on the protective plate 220, corresponding to the position of the winch mounting part 212. The cable hole 224 allows the winch traction cable to pass through, ensuring that the cable can extend smoothly and act on external objects (such as trees, rocks, etc.) to achieve towing and rescue functions.

[0101] For example, reinforcing ribs are added around the winch mounting section 212 to enhance its structural strength and ensure that it will not deform or be damaged during high-intensity towing.

[0102] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the protective frame 210 has a connecting portion 211, the crossbeam 100 has a groove portion 110, the connecting portion 211 and the groove portion 110 are detachably connected, and the connecting portion 211 is located inside the groove portion 110, and the connecting portion 211 and the groove portion 110 are positioned and engaged.

[0103] In these embodiments, the protective frame 210 includes a connecting portion 211, while the crossbeam 100 has a corresponding groove 110. The connecting portion 211 and the groove 110 are detachably connected, and the connecting portion 211 is located within the groove 110. The positioning fit ensures stability and precision, which not only enhances the overall integrity and stability of the structure, but also provides a convenient installation and maintenance method.

[0104] The connecting part 211 is located on the protective frame 210 and is used to connect with the groove 110 of the crossbeam 100. This provides a reliable mechanical connection method to ensure a firm connection between the protective frame 210 and the crossbeam 100.

[0105] The groove 110 is located on the crossbeam 100 and is used to accommodate and fix the connecting part 211. Its shape and size design ensure that the connecting part 211 can be accurately positioned and remain stable.

[0106] For example, in this embodiment, the groove 110 is configured as an L-shaped groove, and the connecting part 211 may also be configured as an L-shaped plate. Of course, in other embodiments, the groove 110 is configured as an L-shaped groove, and the connecting part 211 may also be configured as a square tube, etc.

[0107] The connecting part 211 and the groove part 110 are detachably connected, which facilitates installation, disassembly and maintenance. The positioning fit ensures precise alignment between the two and avoids errors during the installation process.

[0108] Clearly, the design of the connecting part 211 and the groove part 110 ensures a firm connection between the protective frame 210 and the crossbeam 100, improving the structural stability and impact resistance of the entire front bumper assembly.

[0109] For example, during assembly, the connecting part 211 needs to be precisely inserted into the slot 110, and the two are aligned accurately by a locating pin or other locating device. A detachable connection can be achieved through bolts, snap-fits, or other mechanical connections, ensuring a secure and easy-to-operate connection.

[0110] For example, the connecting portion 211 and the groove portion 110 can be fixed together with bolts to ensure a secure connection and easy disassembly. The bolt hole positions should be precisely designed to ensure that the bolts can be tightened smoothly without additional adjustments during installation.

[0111] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the groove 110 and the connecting part 211 both extend along a preset direction, which is parallel to the extension direction of the crossbeam 100. The groove 110 has at least a first groove wall 111 and a second groove wall 112, with an included angle between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112. The first groove wall 111 is located above the second groove wall 112, and the connecting part 211 abuts against the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 respectively.

[0112] In these embodiments, both the groove 110 and the connecting portion 211 extend along a predetermined direction, which is parallel to the extension direction of the crossbeam 100. The groove 110 has at least a first groove wall 111 and a second groove wall 112, and there is an included angle between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112, with the first groove wall 111 located above the second groove wall 112. The connecting portion 211 abuts against the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 respectively, ensuring stability and precise alignment.

[0113] The groove 110 is disposed in a direction parallel to the extending direction of the crossbeam 100. The groove 110 includes at least a first groove wall 111 and a second groove wall 112, which form an included angle. For example, in this embodiment, the included angle between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 is 90 degrees. Of course, in other embodiments, the included angle between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 may also be 20 degrees, 30 degrees, 40 degrees, 50 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, or 80 degrees, etc.

[0114] The first channel wall 111 is located above and is typically used to provide primary support and positioning functions. The second channel wall 112 is located below and is typically used to provide additional support and stability.

[0115] The connecting part 211 is also arranged in a direction parallel to the extension direction of the crossbeam 100. The connecting part 211 abuts against the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 respectively to ensure a firm connection and accurate positioning. The included angle design between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 helps to enhance the stability and impact resistance of the connecting part 211, preventing it from shifting or loosening during use.

[0116] Therefore, the double-sided abutment design of the connecting part 211 with the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 significantly enhances the connection strength and stability between the protective frame 210 and the crossbeam 100, improving the impact resistance of the entire front bumper assembly. The included angle design between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 ensures that the connecting part 211 can be accurately positioned and remain stable, avoiding errors during installation and improving the overall assembly quality. Furthermore, the double-sided abutment design allows the connecting part 211 to disperse stress in multiple directions, reducing local stress concentration and extending service life.

[0117] For example, during assembly, the connecting part 211 needs to be precisely inserted into the groove 110, and abutted against on both sides by the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 to ensure accurate alignment. The detachable connection can be achieved by bolts, clips, or other mechanical connection methods to ensure a firm connection and ease of operation.
