[0022] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be more thorough and complete.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.

[0024] Example

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a flip-up front panel for a commercial vehicle, including a front panel body 1, a grille 2, a vehicle logo mounting base 3, and two flip-up connectors 4. Each flip-up connector 4 includes a fixing plate 41 and a connecting plate 42. One side of the fixing plate 41 is connected to the inner side of the front panel body 1. The side of the fixing plate 41 away from the front panel body 1 has an integrally formed protrusion 410. The surface of the connecting plate 42 has a slot 421. The connecting plate 42 is fitted onto the outside of the protrusion 410 through the slot 421. An opening 43 is formed between the connecting plate 42 and the protrusion 410. Fasteners 5 are connected between the connecting plate 42 and the protrusion 410 through the opening 43. The fasteners 5 include bolts 51 and nuts 52, both of which are located within the opening 43.

[0026] In this embodiment, the front panel body 1 is flipped to the vehicle body using the flip connector 4. If the front panel needs to be disassembled or replaced, the operator can use a tool to apply pressure and rotate the nut 52 to separate the nut 52 from the bolt 51. After the two nuts 52 and two bolts 51 are separated and disassembled, the front panel body 1 can be disassembled from the connecting plate 42 using the fixing plate 41 and the protruding plate 410. When the front panel needs to be replaced, the operator can insert the protruding plate 410 into the slot 421 opened in the connecting plate 42 and insert the bolt 51 into the opening 43. Finally, the front panel body 1 can be installed using the nut 52 and the bolt 51.

[0027] As an alternative implementation, a portion of the surface of the bolt 51 engages with the interior of an opening 43 on one side of the connecting plate 42.

[0028] In this embodiment, the opening 43 on the connecting plate 42 is used to restrict and snap the bolt 51, which makes it easier for the operator to use tools to apply pressure and rotate the nut 52, so that the operator does not need to manually restrict the bolt 51 during the operation of the fastener 5.

[0029] As an alternative implementation, a rubber ring 411 is provided on the surface of the protruding plate 410 and near the opening 43, and the nut 52 is in close contact with the surface of the rubber ring 411.

[0030] In this embodiment, the rubber ring 411 is used to compress and restrict the nut 52, making the position of the nut 52 more stable and preventing the nut 52 from easily loosening.

[0031] As an optional implementation, a rubber pad 422 is provided on the inner side of the connecting plate 42.

[0032] In this embodiment, the design of the rubber pad 422 makes the connection between the connecting plate 42 and the external structure more stable, which facilitates the state limitation between the connecting plate 42 and the external structure, and makes it easier for the staff to connect the front panel body 1 to the connecting plate 42 in a stable state using the protruding plate 410.

[0033] As an alternative implementation, the side of the protruding plate 410 away from the fixing plate 41 is designed to be semi-circular.

[0034] In this embodiment, the semi-circular design of one side of the protruding plate 410 makes it easy for workers to insert the protruding plate 410 into the slot 421 opened in the connecting plate 42.

[0035] As an optional implementation, a support plate 44 is provided between the inner sides of the fixing plate 41.

[0036] In this embodiment, the design of the support plate 44 can achieve the effect of supporting and reinforcing the fixed plate 41, avoiding accidental bumps to the fixed plate 41 during the placement or movement of the front panel body 1, which could easily cause damage or breakage.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
