Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive front grille technology, specifically a split automotive front grille. Background Technology

[0002] The front grille of a car, often referred to as the car's front fascia or air intake grille, is installed at the front of the vehicle. It not only serves an aesthetic purpose but, more importantly, protects the engine and surrounding components from dust, moisture, and other impurities, thus extending the lifespan of these critical parts. Furthermore, the design of the front grille can optimize the vehicle's aerodynamics, improving driving stability.

[0003] The authorized publication number is CN213768475U, entitled "A Connecting Structure for a Car Front Grille." It states that "when the grille impacts a foreign object, damaging one of its grille rods, which includes grille rod 4 and grille rod 16, the repair work can be completed by simply unscrewing the locking nuts 8 at both ends of the damaged grille rod, disconnecting the locking nuts 8 from the threaded post 14, and then removing the corresponding grille rod from the groove 6. A new grille rod can then be installed in the original position of the replaced grille rod." However, during vehicle operation, bumps and vibrations can cause the locking nuts 8 to loosen, affecting the stability of grille rod 4 and grille rod 16. Furthermore, disassembling and assembling grille rod 4 and grille rod 16 requires tools to tighten or loosen multiple locking nuts 8 sequentially, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a split-type automotive front grille, which can improve the stability of the connection between the grille bar and the fixed frame, has high installation efficiency, facilitates the replacement of damaged grille bars, and is simple and convenient to operate, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a split-type automotive front grille, comprising a fixed frame and a plurality of grille bars connected within the fixed frame. Each grille bar has a connection port at both ends, and the connection port is connected to a mounting plate connected within the fixed frame. A limiting post is connected to the top of the mounting plate, and the limiting post passes through the connection port. The limiting post is connected to a positioning mechanism for positioning the connection port. The positioning mechanism includes a pull rod, a lifting block, two positioning blocks, and a spring. The pull rod drives the lifting block to move up and down, the lifting block drives the two positioning blocks to move closer to or further away from each other, and the spring drives the lifting block to move away from the pull rod.

[0006] Preferably, the connection port is provided with a limiting hole, which matches the limiting post.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning mechanism further includes two sliders, two slide grooves, and a guide block. The sliders are slidably connected to the slide grooves, the slide grooves are disposed on the lifting block, the sliders are fixedly connected to the positioning block, and the guide block is used to guide the lifting block.

[0008] Preferably, the guide block is connected to the bottom of the lifting block, and the two ends of the spring are connected to the guide block and the limiting post.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting post is provided with a guide groove, and the pull rod and guide block are slidably connected to the guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting post is provided with two guide holes, the guide holes are connected to the guide groove, and the positioning block is slidably connected to the guide holes.

[0011] Preferably, the side of the positioning block is provided with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface is a smooth surface.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model, by providing a positioning mechanism, allows for easy removal of the grid rod when it is damaged. Pulling the lever upwards simultaneously moves the lifting block upwards, and the slider slides within the groove, causing the positioning block to move backwards, bringing the two positioning blocks closer together until they separate from the connection port. This loosens the connection port, facilitating the removal of the grid rod, making the operation simple and convenient. When replacing the grid rod, the connection port is fitted onto the limiting post, and downward pressure is applied to the grid rod, causing the connection port to slide relative to the inclined surface on the outside of the positioning block. This brings the two positioning blocks closer together, lifting the lifting block and stretching the spring until the connection port connects to the mounting plate. The stretched spring then pulls the lifting block downwards, causing the two positioning blocks to move away from each other, connecting the positioning block to the connection port. This achieves limited and fixed positioning of the connection port, improving the stability of the connection between the grid rod and the fixed frame, resulting in high installation efficiency and strong practicality.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a split-type automotive front grille, including a fixed frame 1 and multiple grille bars 2 connected within the fixed frame 1, with equal spacing between adjacent grille bars 2. Each grille bar 2 has a connecting port 4 at both ends, which is connected to a mounting plate 3 connected within the fixed frame 1. A limiting post 5 is connected to the top of the mounting plate 3, passing through the connecting port 4. The limiting post 5 is connected to a positioning mechanism for positioning the connecting port 4. The positioning mechanism includes a pull rod 6, a lifting block 9, two positioning blocks 8, and a spring 13. The pull rod 6 drives the lifting block 9 to rise and fall, and the lifting block 9 drives the two positioning blocks 8 to move closer or further apart. When the connecting port 4 is in the positioning state, the positioning blocks 8 are connected to the top of the connecting port 4, with the top being... Figure 3 The spring 13 is used to drive the lifting block 9 to move away from the pull rod 6. When the connection port 4 is in the positioning state, the spring 13 is still in the stretched state, continuously applying downward pulling force to the lifting block 9, which can prevent the positioning block 8 from moving backward and loosening.

[0019] When the grid bar 2 is damaged, pull the lever 6 to move it up, which in turn moves the lifting block 9 up. The slider 10 slides in the slide groove 11, which moves the positioning block 8 backward, so that the two positioning blocks 8 move closer to each other until the positioning block 8 separates from the connection port 4, thereby loosening the connection port 4 and making it easy to remove the grid bar 2. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0020] The connection port 4 is provided with a limiting hole that matches the limiting post 5. When installing the grid rod 2, the limiting hole and the limiting post 5 slide relative to each other, which can initially limit the limiting post 5. The connection port 4 stops moving when it is connected to the mounting plate 3, thus limiting the connection port 4 and facilitating the installation of the grid rod 2.

[0021] The positioning mechanism also includes two sliders 10, two slide grooves 11, and a guide block 12. The sliders 10 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 11, which are located on the lifting block 9. The sliders 10 are fixedly connected to the positioning blocks 8, and the guide block 12 guides the lifting block 9. The lifting of the pull rod 6 can synchronously drive the lifting of the lifting block 9. The sliders 10 slide within the slide grooves 11, causing the two positioning blocks 8 to move closer to or further away from each other.

[0022] The guide block 12 is connected to the bottom of the lifting block 9, and the two ends of the spring 13 are connected to the guide block 12 and the limit post 5.

[0023] The limiting column 5 is provided with a guide groove 15, and the pull rod 6 and guide block 12 are slidably connected to the guide groove 15 to improve the stability of the lifting block 9.

[0024] The limiting post 5 is provided with two guide holes 14, which are connected to the guide groove 15. The positioning block 8 is slidably connected to the guide holes 14 to improve the stability of the movement of the positioning block 8.

[0025] The side of the positioning block 8 is provided with a slope 7, which is a smooth surface to reduce the frictional force between it and the connection port 4.

[0026] Working principle: When the grid bar 2 is damaged, pulling the lever 6 moves the lifting block 9 upward, simultaneously moving the guide block 12 upward. The spring 13 is further stretched, and the slider 10 slides in the groove 11, driving the positioning block 8 to move backward. That is, the two positioning blocks 8 move closer to each other until the positioning block 8 separates from the connection port 4, thus loosening the connection port 4. The damaged grid bar 2 can then be removed. The operation is simple and convenient. When installing a new grid bar 2, the connection port 4 is passed through the lever 6 and fitted onto the limiting post 5. Then, pressure is applied to the grid bar 2, driving it to move. Simultaneously, the connection port 4 moves, causing the connection port 4 to slide relative to the inclined surface 7 on the outer side of the positioning block 8. That is, the two positioning blocks 8 move closer to each other, and the slider 10 slides in the groove 11, which can lift the lifting block 9. When the connection port 4 is connected to the mounting plate 3, the stretched spring 13 pulls the lifting block 9 down, and the lifting block 9 drives the two positioning blocks 8 to move away from each other. The positioning blocks 8 are connected to the top of the connection port 4, thereby limiting and fixing the connection port 4, improving the stability of the grid bar 2 installation, and increasing efficiency.

[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
