Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive bumper technology, and more specifically, to a lightweight automotive bumper. Background Technology

[0002] Cars are equipped with bumpers at both the front and rear, which not only serve a decorative function but, more importantly, absorb and mitigate external impacts, protecting the vehicle body and occupants. Existing car front bumpers generally use a flat, plate-like main crossbeam running through the front of the car. To facilitate forming and improve efficiency, they are mostly one-piece stamped designs with simple shapes. For example, patent CN221986397U discloses a lightweight car bumper with a sheet metal panel frame. The sheet metal panel frame has a central crossbeam frame portion and side light area frame portions extending on both sides of the central crossbeam frame portion. The intermediate crossbeam frame has a central grille mounting hole, and the side lighting area frame has an upper light hole and a lower light hole; positioning feet fold backward around the upper light hole and the lower light hole respectively; U-shaped brackets welded to the positioning feet on the outside of the upper light hole and the lower light hole; a vertical fixing bracket welded to the inside of the upper light hole; a horizontal fixing bracket welded to the inside of the lower light hole, the horizontal fixing bracket being close to the inner positioning feet; inspection covers fastened to both ends of the intermediate crossbeam frame; mounting brackets welded to the rear of the inspection covers; and a central grille fixed to the central grille mounting hole by rivets.

[0003] When the above-mentioned device is in use, the middle crossbeam frame and the side light area frame are formed by stamping to form the main body of the sheet metal panel frame, thus achieving lightweight bumper forming. Then, positioning feet are used in conjunction with welded U-shaped brackets, vertical fixing brackets, and horizontal fixing brackets to assist in installation. There is no need to drill holes in the sheet metal of the bumper, which avoids affecting its strength. However, when subjected to a slight collision, the middle of the bumper is prone to deformation, resulting in high maintenance costs. The strength of the bumper needs to be further improved.
