Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to a front panel assembly for a vehicle and the vehicle itself. Background Technology
[0002] All systems that need to be installed inside and outside the front bulkhead must be installed on the main assembly line. The main assembly line has many systems and parts, which takes up a lot of line length and workers' operation time. It also makes it impossible to work together, resulting in inconvenience and low efficiency in installation. Therefore, how to improve the installation convenience of the front bulkhead components is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application provides a front panel assembly for a vehicle and a vehicle, and the front panel assembly according to this application improves assembly convenience.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted in this application include:
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a front bulkhead assembly for a vehicle, including a front bulkhead body and an integration part; the front bulkhead body is disposed on the vehicle body; the integration part and the front bulkhead body are separate structures, and the integration part is detachably disposed on the front bulkhead body; wherein, the integration part is provided with a plurality of mounting positions, and the plurality of mounting positions are used to install corresponding front bulkhead components.
[0006] According to the front bulkhead assembly for vehicles proposed in the first aspect of this application, the front bulkhead of a traditional vehicle model is incorporated as part of the welded assembly of the body-in-white. The core mounting area of the traditional front bulkhead is divided into an integration section. Simultaneously, the integration section and the front bulkhead components can be assembled separately on a sub-assembly line. The front bulkhead components that were originally installed on the main assembly line of the traditional front bulkhead are first modularly integrated with the aforementioned integration section, and then assembled as a whole onto the main assembly line using automated grippers and assembly tools, and sealed and installed around the periphery of the front bulkhead body. This solves the problem of having many systems and components assembled on the main assembly line, reduces the length occupied by the main assembly line, reduces the worker's operation time on the main assembly line, improves installation convenience, and improves installation efficiency.
[0007] Optionally, the front bulkhead body is constructed as a ring structure, and the integrated part is detachably connected to the inner periphery of the front bulkhead body.
[0008] In the above solution, the front bulkhead can be welded together with the floor, wheel arches, windshield beams, A-pillars and other components as part of the body-in-white. Different models only need to adjust the size of the inner periphery of the ring or the structure of the edge of the integrated part to adapt the integrated part to different models. This allows the pre-assembled integrated part to be quickly aligned along the inner periphery of the ring and disassembled as a whole without having to calibrate individual installation points, further improving assembly efficiency and installation convenience.
[0009] Optionally, the inner periphery of the front bulkhead body includes a first overlapping portion, and the outer periphery of the integrated portion includes a second overlapping portion, with the first overlapping portion and the second overlapping portion overlapping.
[0010] In the above solution, the first and second overlapping parts can guide the integration part to quickly align with the installation position of the front bulkhead body. It can achieve dual positioning in both circumferential and axial directions without the need for additional locating pins, tooling, or other auxiliary tools, which greatly reduces the alignment difficulty during assembly, improves the docking efficiency and positional consistency between the integration part and the front bulkhead body, and avoids component interference caused by installation offset. The size of the overlapping part can be flexibly adjusted according to different vehicle models without modifying the core structure of the integration part and the front bulkhead components, thus adapting to different installation requirements and further improving installation convenience.
[0011] Optionally, the first overlapping portion includes a first body portion and a first protrusion portion. There are multiple first protrusion portions, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the first body portion.
[0012] The front assembly also includes a plurality of first fasteners, each of which passes through a corresponding first protrusion and second overlap.
[0013] In the above scheme, multiple spaced first protrusions can be uniformly positioned along the circumference of the first body part. When they fit with the second overlapping part, they can constrain the circumferential movement and axial offset of the integrated part from multiple dimensions, resulting in more comprehensive and precise positioning constraints. This helps to improve the relative positional accuracy of the integrated part and the front bulkhead body, and helps to reduce component interference caused by positioning deviations. At the same time, compared with continuous overlapping surfaces, the spaced first protrusions reduce the amount of material used while ensuring connection strength, achieving lightweighting of the front bulkhead component. Furthermore, the size and spacing of the multiple first protrusions can be flexibly adjusted, adapting to the installation requirements of the integrated parts of different vehicle models without modifying the core structure of the front bulkhead body, further improving installation convenience.
[0014] Optionally, the second overlapping portion includes a second body portion and a second protrusion portion. The first fastener passes through the second body portion and the corresponding first protrusion portion. There are multiple second protrusion portions, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the second body portion.
[0015] The front assembly also includes a plurality of second fasteners, each of which passes through a corresponding second protrusion and a first body portion.
[0016] In the above scheme, each second protrusion corresponds to a second fastener, which can evenly transfer the load of the integrated part and the front bulkhead components to the front bulkhead body, avoiding stress concentration at a single connection point. The structural height of the second protrusion can enhance the bending and shear resistance of the joint, effectively resist the vibration and impact of vehicle driving, reduce abnormal noise and wear at the connection point, and improve the overall connection rigidity and service life. The spaced second protrusions provide clear and independent installation space for the second fasteners, reducing the chance of the second fasteners interfering with other components. During assembly, each connection point can be quickly located and tightened one by one without complex tooling. During later maintenance, individual fasteners can be disassembled without damaging the overall structure, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0017] Optionally, along the circumference of the second body portion, the second protrusion is spaced apart from any first protrusion.
[0018] In the above scheme, the first protrusion and the second protrusion intersect circumferentially to form bidirectional positioning anchor points, which can guide the integration part and the front bulkhead body to quickly and accurately dock, and can constrain the relative displacement of the two from both circumferential and axial directions, thereby improving the installation reliability. The first fastener and the second fastener act on different overlapping areas, so that the load is evenly transmitted to the overall structure through multiple points, avoiding stress concentration. Moreover, the double fixing greatly improves the vibration and impact resistance, reduces the risk of abnormal noise and loosening of the connection parts during driving, and significantly enhances the structural rigidity and service life.
[0019] Optionally, the front fascia assembly also includes a sealing strip sandwiched between the first overlap and the second overlap.
[0020] In the above solution, the sealing strip can tightly fill the tiny gap between the two overlapping parts, forming a reliable sealing barrier. This effectively prevents dust, liquids (such as rainwater and coolant), exhaust gas, and noise from the engine compartment from entering the passenger compartment. At the same time, it reduces heat transfer, significantly improves the vehicle's sound insulation, heat insulation, and protection performance, and ensures passenger compartment comfort and component lifespan. Furthermore, the sealing strip does not affect the disassembly and assembly of the integrated part. It can be installed and disassembled simultaneously with the overlapping part during the disassembly and assembly process without additional complicated operations. In addition, it has strong adaptability and can be adapted to the overlapping structure of different vehicle models by adjusting its size, which improves the ease of installation.
[0021] Optionally, the multiple front bulkhead components include at least one of an air conditioning unit, a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, and a domain controller.
[0022] In the above solution, integrating at least one of the air conditioning unit, brake pedal, accelerator pedal and domain controller into the integration unit can further reduce the number of parts that need to be assembled on the final assembly line and further improve the integration of the integration unit. In other words, the integration unit can complete the pre-assembly and debugging of these parts in advance to form an integrated functional module. During final assembly, only the integration unit needs to be connected to the front bulkhead body as a whole. There is no need to install and debug scattered parts on the vehicle body one by one, which significantly shortens the final assembly cycle and improves the ease of installation.
[0023] Optionally, the integrated part is provided with a first through hole, which extends through the integrated part along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the first through hole is adapted to avoid the steering shaft.
[0024] In the above solution, the first through hole can directly provide dedicated clearance space for the steering shaft, avoiding spatial interference between the steering shaft and the integrated unit and its integrated components such as the air conditioning unit and domain controller. At the same time, it does not affect the installation angle and rotation stroke of the steering shaft, ensuring the normal operation of the steering system. There is no need to open clearance structures on the body or front bulkhead, which maintains the modular integrity of the integrated unit and further improves the space utilization. During assembly, the steering shaft can be directly installed through the first through hole without adjusting the pre-assembled state of the integrated unit, without interfering with the overall assembly rhythm of the integrated module, improving assembly convenience and efficiency.
[0025] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the front fascia assembly described in any of the embodiments. Attached Figure Description

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment.

[0044] All systems that need to be installed inside and outside the front bulkhead must be installed on the main assembly line. The main assembly line has many systems and parts, which takes up the length of the main assembly line and the workers' operating time, and it is not possible to work together as a group.
[0045] Therefore, improving the ease of installation of the front panel components is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved.
[0046] In view of this, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient installation of the front bulkhead assembly, this application provides a front bulkhead assembly for a vehicle. The integrated part 200 and the front bulkhead body 100 are separate structures, and the integrated part 200 is detachably disposed on the front bulkhead body 100. The integrated part 200 is provided with multiple mounting positions 300 for mounting corresponding front bulkhead components 500. This integrates the traditional front bulkhead of a vehicle as part of the welded assembly of the body-in-white, and separates the core mounting area of the traditional front bulkhead into the integrated part 200. The front bulkhead component 200 and the front bulkhead component 500 can be assembled on the sub-assembly line. The front bulkhead component 500, which was originally installed on the traditional front bulkhead on the main assembly line, is first modularly integrated with the aforementioned integration unit 200. Then, using automated grippers and assembly tools, it is assembled as a whole onto the main assembly line and sealed with the periphery of the front bulkhead body. This solves the problem of having many systems and components assembled on the main assembly line, reduces the length occupied on the main assembly line, reduces the worker's operation time on the main assembly line, improves installation convenience, and improves installation efficiency.
[0047] The following is based on the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 This application describes a front fascia assembly for a vehicle based on embodiments thereof.
[0048] A front bulkhead assembly for a vehicle, according to a first aspect of this application, includes a front bulkhead body 100 and an integration portion 200.
[0049] The front bulkhead body 100 is mounted on the vehicle body. Understandably, the front bulkhead body 100 serves a supporting and fixing function. As the core load-bearing structure of the front bulkhead assembly, the front bulkhead body 100, after being directly fixed to the vehicle body, provides a precise and stable installation benchmark for the integration unit 200 and the front bulkhead components 500, avoiding component interference and functional failures caused by misalignment of the installation benchmark (such as poor sealing of the air conditioning unit 510, wire harness pulling, etc.). At the same time, the front bulkhead body 100 and the integration unit 200 can separate the passenger compartment and the front engine compartment, avoiding spatial interference caused by chaotic component layout and ensuring the consistency of the whole vehicle assembly.
[0050] The integration unit 200 and the front bulkhead body 100 are separate structures. The integration unit 200 is detachably installed on the front bulkhead body 100. It can be understood that the separate structure allows the front bulkhead body 100 and the integration unit 200 to be manufactured separately and pre-assembled independently. The integration unit 200 can be assembled with the front bulkhead components 500 on the assembly line and then detachably assembled to the front bulkhead body 100 as a whole. This eliminates the need to install individual components one by one on the vehicle assembly line, greatly shortens the vehicle assembly cycle, reduces the complexity of the final assembly, and improves the convenience of installation.
[0051] Meanwhile, in response to the front layout requirements of different vehicle models, during the evolution and movement of the platform architecture, the integration unit 200 and the integrated front panel components 500 can be regarded as a whole component and moved. By adapting the external boundary of the integration unit 200 for overlapping processing, the range of changes can be reduced and development costs can be saved. This allows the front components to be quickly adapted to multiple vehicle platforms, reducing the R&D cycle and manufacturing costs, and improving product versatility.
[0052] The integration unit 200 is provided with multiple mounting positions 300, which are used to install corresponding front bulkhead components 500.
[0053] Understandably, the integration unit 200 can be assembled with the front bulkhead component 500 on the sub-assembly line, without having to wait until the final assembly stage of the vehicle to install individual components on the vehicle body. During final assembly, the pre-assembled integration unit 200 can be quickly fixed by aligning it with the docking structure of the front bulkhead body 100. This not only eliminates the tedious steps of positioning, aligning, and tightening components one by one on the final assembly line, shortening the operation time on the final assembly line, but also avoids problems such as positional deviation and interface misalignment caused by on-site assembly, significantly improving assembly accuracy and consistency, and enhancing installation convenience.
[0054] In addition, multiple mounting positions 300 are precisely designed according to the size and functional requirements of the front bulkhead components 500 (such as HVAC assemblies, wiring harness clamps, sensors, pipe supports, etc.), which can strictly constrain the installation position of each component, avoid spatial interference between components, and at the same time, integrate scattered components into the integration section 200, optimize the utilization of the front engine compartment space, and reduce problems such as airflow resistance and wiring harness entanglement caused by messy layout.
[0055] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front bulkhead body 100 is constructed as a ring structure, and the integrated part 200 is detachably connected to the inner periphery of the front bulkhead body 100.
[0056] Specifically, the central area of the front bulkhead body 100 has a through hole, and the outer periphery of the integration part 200 is detachably connected to the inner periphery of the front bulkhead body 100, thereby the integration part 200 blocks the through hole, and the outer periphery of the front bulkhead body 100 is welded together with the body-in-white components such as the shock absorber tower wheel cover and the front bulkhead crossbeam.
[0057] In the above solution, the front bulkhead body 100 can be welded together with the floor, wheel arches, windshield beams, A-pillars and other components as part of the body-in-white. Different models only need to adjust the size of the inner periphery of the ring or the structure of the edge of the integrated part 200 to adapt the integrated part 200 to different models. This reduces the need for redesign in this area when different models change within the platform, and can significantly reduce R&D and manufacturing costs.
[0058] Meanwhile, the continuous docking structure along the inner periphery of the ring can be designed as a standardized detachable interface (such as ring-shaped bolt holes and snap-fit slots), enabling the pre-assembled integrated unit 200 to be quickly aligned and disassembled as a whole along the inner periphery of the ring without having to calibrate individual installation points, further improving assembly efficiency and installation convenience.
[0059] Meanwhile, the front bulkhead body 100 can support and fix the integrated part 200, and can more stably bear the weight load of the integrated part 200 and various front bulkhead components 500. At the same time, it can effectively disperse the impact stress and vibration during vehicle operation, reduce structural noise in the front bulkhead area, and improve the separation and protection effect between the front engine compartment and the passenger compartment (such as sound insulation, heat insulation, and prevention of foreign object intrusion).
[0060] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner periphery of the front panel body 100 includes a first overlapping portion 110, and the outer periphery of the integrated portion 200 includes a second overlapping portion 210. The first overlapping portion 110 and the second overlapping portion 210 overlap.
[0061] In the above solution, the first overlapping part 110 and the second overlapping part 210 can guide the integration part 200 to quickly align with the installation position of the front bulkhead body 100. It can achieve dual positioning in both the circumferential and axial directions without the need for additional auxiliary tools such as positioning pins and tooling, which greatly reduces the alignment difficulty during assembly, improves the docking efficiency and positional consistency between the integration part 200 and the front bulkhead body 100, and avoids interference of parts caused by installation offset.
[0062] Meanwhile, the annular overlapping surfaces of the first overlapping part 110 and the second overlapping part 210 significantly increase the contact area between the two. With the help of detachable connections (such as bolts and buckles evenly distributed around the overlapping surface), the load of the integrated part 200 and components can be evenly transferred to the front bulkhead body 100, which strengthens the overall connection rigidity, reduces loosening and abnormal noise caused by vehicle driving vibration, and the double protective surface formed by the overlapping can effectively block dust, liquid and noise from the front engine compartment from entering the passenger compartment, further improving the sound insulation, heat insulation and sealing performance.
[0063] In addition, the size of the overlapping part can be flexibly adjusted according to different vehicle models. Without changing the core structure of the integration part 200 and the front bulkhead component 500, it can adapt to different installation requirements, further enhancing the platform's adaptability and improving installation convenience.
[0064] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first overlapping portion 110 includes a first body portion 111 and a first protrusion 112. There are multiple first protrusions 112, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the first body portion 111.
[0065] The front assembly also includes a plurality of first fasteners, each of which passes through a corresponding first protrusion 112 and second overlap 210.
[0066] In the above scheme, multiple spaced first protrusions 112 can be uniformly positioned along the circumference of the first body part 111. When they fit with the second overlapping part 210, they can constrain the circumferential movement and axial displacement of the integrated part 200 from multiple dimensions. The positioning constraint is more comprehensive and accurate, which helps to improve the relative position accuracy of the integrated part 200 and the front panel body 100, and helps to reduce component interference caused by positioning deviation.
[0067] Each first protrusion 112 corresponds to a first fastener, which can evenly transfer the load of the integrated part 200 and the front bulkhead component 500 to the front bulkhead body 100, avoid stress concentration at a single connection point, and the structural height of the first protrusion 112 can enhance the bending and shear resistance of the joint, effectively resist the vibration and impact of vehicle driving, reduce abnormal noise and wear at the connection part, and improve the overall connection rigidity and service life.
[0068] The first protrusion 112, which is spaced apart, provides a clear and independent installation space for the first fastener, reducing the chance of the first fastener interfering with other components. During assembly, each connection point can be quickly located and tightened one by one without complicated tooling. During later maintenance, individual fasteners can be disassembled in a targeted manner without damaging the overall structure, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0069] Meanwhile, compared with continuous overlapping surfaces, the spaced first protrusions 112 reduce the amount of material used while ensuring connection strength, achieving lightweight front bulkhead components. Furthermore, the size and spacing of multiple first protrusions 112 can be flexibly adjusted, adapting to the installation requirements of different vehicle integration units 200 without modifying the core structure of the front bulkhead body 100, further improving installation convenience.
[0070] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second overlapping part 210 includes a second body part 211 and a second protrusion 212. The first fastener passes through the second body part 211 and the corresponding first protrusion 112. There are multiple second protrusions 212. Along the circumference of the second body part 211, multiple second protrusions 212 are spaced apart on the second body part 211.
[0071] The front assembly also includes a plurality of second fasteners, each of which passes through a corresponding second protrusion 212 and a first body portion 111.
[0072] In the above scheme, multiple spaced second protrusions 212 can be uniformly positioned along the circumference of the second body part 211. When they fit with the second overlapping part 210, they can constrain the circumferential movement and axial displacement of the integrated part 200 from multiple dimensions. The positioning constraint is more comprehensive and accurate, which helps to improve the relative position accuracy of the integrated part 200 and the front panel body 100, and helps to reduce component interference caused by positioning deviation.
[0073] Each second protrusion 212 corresponds to a second fastener, which can evenly transfer the load of the integrated part 200 and the front bulkhead component 500 to the front bulkhead body 100, avoid stress concentration at a single connection point, and the structural height of the second protrusion 212 can enhance the bending and shear resistance of the joint, effectively resist the vibration and impact of vehicle driving, reduce abnormal noise and wear at the connection part, and improve the overall connection rigidity and service life.
[0074] The spaced second protrusion 212 provides a clear and independent installation space for the second fastener, reducing the chance of the second fastener interfering with other components. During assembly, each connection point can be quickly located and tightened one by one without complicated tooling. During later maintenance, individual fasteners can be disassembled without damaging the overall structure, greatly reducing the difficulty of operation.
[0075] Meanwhile, compared with continuous overlapping surfaces, the spaced second protrusions 212 reduce material usage while ensuring connection strength, achieving lightweight front bulkhead components. Furthermore, the size and spacing of multiple second protrusions 212 can be flexibly adjusted, adapting to the installation requirements of different vehicle integration units 200 without modifying the core structure of the front bulkhead body 100, further improving installation convenience.
[0076] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Along the circumference of the second body portion 211, the second protrusion 212 is spaced apart from any first protrusion 112.
[0077] In the above scheme, the first protrusion 112 and the second protrusion 212 intersect in the circumferential direction to form a bidirectional positioning anchor point, which can guide the integration part 200 and the front panel body 100 to quickly and accurately dock, and can also constrain the relative displacement of the two from both the circumferential and axial directions, thereby improving the installation reliability.
[0078] Understandably, the first and second fasteners act on different overlapping areas, allowing the load to be evenly transferred to the overall structure through multiple points, avoiding stress concentration. Furthermore, the double fixing significantly improves the resistance to vibration and impact, reduces the risk of abnormal noise and loosening at the connection points during operation, and significantly enhances the structural rigidity and service life.
[0079] The second protrusion 212, which is spaced apart from the first protrusion 112, avoids each other, providing clear and independent installation space for the two sets of fasteners. There is no operational interference, and the fasteners can be tightened in steps during assembly. During later maintenance, individual fasteners can be disassembled in a targeted manner without damaging the overall overlapping structure, thus reducing maintenance difficulty.
[0080] Meanwhile, the spacing design of the second protrusion 212 reduces the amount of material used while ensuring connection strength, thus contributing to weight reduction. Furthermore, the size and spacing of the second protrusion 212 can be flexibly adjusted. Combined with the layout optimization of the first protrusion 112, it can adapt to the installation requirements of the integration part 200 of different vehicle models without modifying the core structure of the front bulkhead body 100, thereby improving installation convenience.
[0081] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front enclosure assembly also includes a sealing strip sandwiched between the first overlap 110 and the second overlap 210.
[0082] In the above solution, the sealing strip can tightly fill the tiny gap between the two overlapping parts to form a reliable sealing barrier, effectively blocking dust, liquids (such as rainwater and coolant), exhaust gas and noise from the front engine compartment from entering the passenger compartment. At the same time, it reduces heat transfer, significantly improves the vehicle's sound insulation, heat insulation and protection performance, and ensures passenger compartment comfort and component lifespan.
[0083] The elastic properties of the sealing strip can buffer the vibration and impact during vehicle operation, prevent the hard structure of the first overlapping part 110 and the second overlapping part 210 from directly rubbing and colliding, reduce abnormal noise, improve NVH performance, and at the same time disperse local stress and protect the overlapping part and fasteners from vibration wear.
[0084] In addition, the elastic deformation of the sealing strip can compensate for minor dimensional errors or fitting gaps generated during the assembly process, making the two overlapping parts fit more tightly, further enhancing positioning accuracy and connection stability, and avoiding circumferential movement caused by gaps.
[0085] Furthermore, the sealing strip does not affect the disassembly and assembly of the integrated part 200. During the disassembly and assembly process, it can be installed and removed simultaneously with the overlapping part without additional complicated operations. At the same time, it has strong adaptability and can be adapted to the overlapping structure of different vehicle models by adjusting the size, which improves the convenience of installation.
[0086] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The multiple front bulkhead components 500 include at least one of an air conditioning unit 510, a brake pedal 520, an accelerator pedal 530, and a domain controller.
[0087] Understandably, integrating at least one of the air conditioning unit 510, brake pedal 520, accelerator pedal 530, and domain controller into the integration unit 200 can further reduce the number of parts that need to be assembled on the final assembly line and further improve the integration level of the integration unit 200. In other words, the integration unit 200 can complete the pre-assembly and debugging of these parts in advance to form an integrated functional module. During final assembly, the integration unit 200 only needs to be connected to the front bulkhead body 100 as a whole, without having to install and debug scattered parts on the vehicle body one by one, which significantly shortens the final assembly cycle and improves installation convenience.
[0088] Meanwhile, the front bulkhead component 500 can be flexibly integrated to meet the functional requirements of different vehicle models. There is no need to modify the core structure of the front bulkhead body 100. Only the layout of the mounting position 300 of the integration part 200 needs to be adjusted to achieve platform adaptation, reducing R&D and manufacturing costs. Furthermore, the centralized arrangement of key components facilitates the unified planning of protective measures (such as sealing, heat insulation, and vibration resistance), further improving the operational stability of each system and the safety of the entire vehicle.
[0089] Meanwhile, through the standardized installation position 300 precise planning and layout, the space utilization rate at the connection between the front engine compartment and the passenger compartment is greatly improved, the risk of interference between components is reduced, and the layout length of the air conditioning unit 510 pipe, pedal transmission mechanism and domain controller wiring harness is shortened, reducing energy loss and signal interference, and improving the response speed of each system.
[0090] In other embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The integrated part 200 is provided with a first through hole 220. Along the front-rear direction X of the vehicle, the first through hole 220 passes through the integrated part 200 and is adapted to avoid the steering shaft.
[0091] In the above solution, the first through hole 220 can directly provide dedicated clearance space for the steering shaft, avoiding spatial interference between the steering shaft and the integrated unit 200 and its integrated components such as the air conditioning unit 510 and the domain controller, while not affecting the installation angle and rotation stroke of the steering shaft, thus ensuring the normal operation of the steering system.
[0092] Compared to the traditional distributed avoidance structure, the integrated through-hole design of the integrated section 200 eliminates the need for additional avoidance structures on the body or front bulkhead 100, further improving space utilization. During assembly, the steering shaft can be directly installed through the first through-hole 220 without adjusting other components on the integrated section 200, thus not interfering with the overall assembly rhythm of the integrated module, improving assembly convenience and efficiency.
[0093] Meanwhile, the size and position of the first through hole 220 can be flexibly adjusted according to the layout parameters of the steering shaft of different models. Without modifying the core mounting position 300 and structural frame of the integration unit 200, platform adaptation can be achieved. Under the premise of ensuring the functional safety of the steering system, the flexibility of modular design and the compatibility of the overall vehicle layout are taken into account.
[0094] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a vehicle including the front fascia assembly described in any of the embodiments.
[0095] According to the second aspect of the present application, the vehicle has a front fascia component as described in any embodiment. During final assembly, the integration part 200 only needs to be connected to the vehicle body as a whole, which greatly shortens the assembly cycle and improves assembly convenience and efficiency.
