[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In a first aspect, this embodiment provides a front-end assembly module, including two first support members 100, which are disposed opposite to each other. Each first support member 100 has a first mounting portion 101, a second mounting portion 102, and a third mounting portion 103, which are spaced apart. A second support member 200 is provided, with both ends connected to the two first support members 100. A third support member 300 is provided, with both ends connected to the two first support members 100. The components 100 are connected together, and the third support 300 is spaced apart from the first support 100. The first mounting part 101, the second mounting part 102 and the third mounting part 103 are all located between the second support 200 and the third support 300. The cooling module 400 is connected to the two first mounting parts 101 at both ends. The lower protection module 500 is connected to the two second mounting parts 102 at both ends. The leaf spring module 600 is connected to the two third mounting parts 103 at both ends.
[0055] Specifically, the cooling module 400 is used for heat dissipation in components such as the engine and transmission in a vehicle.

[0056] The cooling module 400 is fixed to the two first support members 100 via the first mounting part 101. In this embodiment, the first mounting part 101 is a mounting hole, and the cooling module 400 is fixed to the two mounting holes of the two first support members 100 by bolts, thereby ensuring the stability of the cooling module 400.
[0057] In this embodiment, each first support member 100 has three first mounting portions 101, and the cooling module 400 is fixed to the two first support members 100 by a six-point connection. In other embodiments, the number of first mounting portions 101 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0058] In this embodiment, the lower protection module 500 is mainly used to protect the vehicle chassis and prevent obstacles such as flying stones and speed bumps from hitting vital parts such as the oil pan and gearbox, thereby avoiding oil leakage or mechanical damage.
[0059] In this embodiment, the lower protective module 500 is composed of a steel plate and a reinforcing rib structure. The second mounting part 102 is a mounting hole. The two ends of the lower protective module 500 are respectively connected to the mounting holes on the two first support members 100 to ensure the stability of the lower protective module 500.
[0060] In this embodiment, each first support member 100 has four second mounting portions 102. The arrangement of the second mounting portions 102 matches the shape of the lower protective module 500. The lower protective module 500 is fixed to the two first support members 100 by an eight-point connection. In other embodiments, the number of second mounting portions 102 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0061] The leaf spring module 600 is a load-bearing module of the vehicle suspension system, mainly used to support the weight of the vehicle body and buffer road impacts.
[0062] In this embodiment, the leaf spring module 600 is made of stacked high-strength alloy steel. The leaf spring module 600 is mounted on the first support member 100 via a third mounting part 103, wherein the third mounting part 103 is a mounting hole, and the leaf spring module 600 is fixed to the third mounting part 103 by bolts. After the leaf spring module 600 is assembled, the cooling module 400 is located between the leaf spring module 600 and the lower protection module 500, thereby avoiding interference between the modules.
[0063] In this embodiment, each first support member 100 has two third mounting portions 103. The arrangement of the third mounting portions 103 matches the shape of the leaf spring module 600. The leaf spring module 600 is fixed to the two first support members 100 by a four-point connection. In other embodiments, the number of third mounting portions 103 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0064] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, the two first support members 100 are connected by the second support member 200 and the third support member 300, which ensures the support strength of the entire support structure.
[0065] By adopting the front-end combination module provided in this embodiment, the cooling module 400, the lower protection module 500 and the leaf spring module 600 are integrated and arranged, which improves the space utilization rate and thus makes room for the subsequent expansion of additional functional modules.
[0066] In addition, the cooling module 400, the lower protection module 500, and the leaf spring module 600 are installed separately through the first mounting part 101, the second mounting part 102, and the third mounting part 103, ensuring the independence of each module and facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance operations.
[0067] In an optional embodiment, the front-end assembly module further includes two tow hook modules 700, and the first support member 100 also has a fourth mounting portion 104, which is located on the side of the first mounting portion 101 near the second support member 200. The two tow hook modules 700 are respectively disposed on the two fourth mounting portions 104.
[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the tow hook module 700 has a hook-shaped structure and is mainly used for road rescue towing, trailer towing, and vehicle extrication scenarios.
[0069] In this embodiment, there are two tow hook modules 700. The two tow hook modules 700 are respectively disposed on the fourth mounting part 104 on the two first support members 100. So that when towing, the two tow hook modules 700 can share the traction load equally, reduce the load of a single connection point, and prevent the tow hook module 700 from falling off.
[0070] In this embodiment, the fourth mounting part 104 is a threaded hole, and the fixed end of the tow hook module 700 is provided with an external thread, so that the tow hook module 700 is fixed by screwing it into the threaded hole.
[0071] In other embodiments, bolts can also be used for connection, with the bolts passing through the hook module 700 and screwed onto the fourth mounting portion 104 to fix the hook module 700. This embodiment does not impose any limitations on this.
[0072] By adopting the front-end combination module provided in this embodiment, the hook module 700 is integrated onto the first support member 100, thereby further improving the space utilization rate of the front-end combination module.
[0073] In an optional embodiment, the front-end assembly module further includes a steering module 800, and the first support member 100 also has a fifth mounting portion 105, which is located above the third mounting portion 103. The two ends of the steering module 800 are respectively connected to the two fifth mounting portions 105.
[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, the steering module 800 is a steering gear. The steering module 800 employs a hydraulic steering gear to convert the rotational motion of the steering wheel into the steering action of the wheels, thereby achieving flexible vehicle steering.
[0075] In this embodiment, the steering module 800 is mounted on the first support member 100 via the fifth mounting part 105. The number of steering modules 800 can be one or two. When there are two steering modules 800, one steering module 800 is primarily used to control the vehicle's steering, while the other steering module 800 serves as a backup, providing steering force in the event of a failure of the main steering module 800.
[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the fifth mounting part 105 is a mounting hole, and the steering module 800 is connected to the fifth mounting part 105 by bolts. After being installed on the first support member 100, the steering module 800 is located between the leaf spring module 600 and the cooling module 400, thereby avoiding interference between the steering module 800 and other modules.
[0077] In this embodiment, there are three fifth mounting parts 105, which are connected to the steering module 800 at multiple points to ensure the stability of the steering module 800. In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the fifth mounting parts 105 can be adapted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0078] By adopting the front-end combination module provided in this embodiment, the steering module 800 is further integrated onto the first support member 100, which further improves the integration of the front-end combination module and increases the space utilization rate.
[0079] In an optional embodiment, the front-end assembly module further includes two cab lifting modules 900, and the first support member 100 also has a sixth mounting part 106, which is arranged adjacent to the fifth mounting part 105. The cab lifting module 900 is connected to the two sixth mounting parts 106 in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0080] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cab lifting module 900 is driven by an electric actuator to lift the cab upwards at a certain angle or height, thereby facilitating the operator to perform maintenance, inspection or replacement of components such as the engine.
[0081] In this embodiment, there are two cab lifting modules 900, which are respectively installed on two first support members 100. Each first support member 100 is provided with a sixth mounting part 106. The two cab lifting modules 900 are connected to their respective first support members 100 through the sixth mounting part 106. Thus, by using two first support members 100 in conjunction with two cab lifting modules 900, a stable and reliable lifting support can be provided for the cab. When lifting or lowering is required, the two cab lifting modules 900 operate synchronously to ensure that the cab remains level during the lifting process, avoiding the risk of tilting due to uneven force.
[0082] In this embodiment, the sixth mounting part 106 is a mounting hole, and the cab lifting module 900 is fixed to the sixth mounting part 106 by bolts. After the cab lifting module 900 is assembled, the cab lifting module 900 is located above the leaf spring module 600, thereby avoiding interference between the modules.
[0083] In this embodiment, each first support member 100 has one sixth mounting part 106, and the cab lifting module 900 is fixed to the two first support members 100 by a single-point connection. In other embodiments, the number of sixth mounting parts 106 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0084] By adopting the front-end combination module provided in this embodiment, the cab lifting module 900 is further integrated onto the first support member 100, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the front-end combination module.
[0085] In an optional embodiment, the first support member 100 also has at least two seventh mounting portions 107 located around the fifth mounting portion 105, and the seventh mounting portions 107 are used to connect to the ventral surface of the frame 10.
[0086] Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 10 is the main load-bearing structure of the vehicle, formed by welding or riveting longitudinal beams and cross beams, thus constituting the rigid skeleton of the entire vehicle. It supports all vehicle-mounted components such as the engine, cab, and cargo box, and bears the loads during driving. The web surface of the frame 10 is the side area of the longitudinal beams. In this embodiment, the first support member 100 is connected to the web surface of the frame 10 via the seventh mounting part 107, thereby enabling the installation of the front-end assembly module inside the vehicle and ensuring the stability of the first support member 100 in supporting each module.
[0087] In this embodiment, the seventh mounting part 107 is a mounting hole, and the belly surface of the frame 10 is connected to the seventh mounting part 107 by bolts to ensure the stability of the connection between the first support member 100 and the frame 10.
[0088] In this embodiment, each first support member 100 has ten seventh mounting parts 107. The ten seventh mounting parts 107 are spaced apart on the periphery of the fifth mounting part 105 and are matched with the shape of the belly surface of the frame 10. This multi-point fixing method ensures the connection strength between the first support member 100 and the frame 10, and ensures that the frame 10 can stably support the first support member 100 and the various modules connected thereon.
[0089] In an optional embodiment, the first support member 100 also has at least two eighth mounting portions 108 located around the third mounting portion 103, and the eighth mounting portions 108 are used to connect to the wing surface of the frame 10.
[0090] Specifically, in this embodiment, the wing surface of the frame 10 is the horizontal extension of the upper and lower sides of the longitudinal beam, mainly used for mounting components such as the suspension system and air tank.
[0091] The first support member 100 provided in this embodiment is connected to the belly surface of the frame 10 through the eighth mounting part 108, thereby realizing the installation of the front-end assembly module in the vehicle and ensuring the stability of the first support member 100 in supporting each module.
[0092] In this embodiment, the eighth mounting part 108 is a mounting hole, and the wing surface of the frame 10 is connected to the eighth mounting part 108 by bolts to ensure the stability of the connection between the first support member 100 and the frame 10.
[0093] In this embodiment, each first support member 100 has five eighth mounting portions 108. The five eighth mounting portions 108 are spaced apart on the periphery of the third mounting portion 103 and are matched with the wing shape of the frame 10. This multi-point fixing method ensures the connection strength between the first support member 100 and the frame 10, and ensures that the frame 10 can stably support the first support member 100 and the various modules connected thereon.
[0094] In an optional embodiment, the front-end assembly module further includes two suspension modules 110. The first support member 100 has a ninth mounting portion 109, which is located between the first mounting portion 101 and the third mounting portion 103.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment, the suspension module 110 includes a rubber damping element, a metal connecting bracket, and a bolt assembly, used to isolate and buffer the transmission of engine vibration to the vehicle frame 10, while also bearing the static and dynamic loads of the powertrain. In this embodiment, the first support member 100 is provided with a ninth mounting portion 109, and the two suspension modules 110 are respectively connected to the corresponding ninth mounting portion 109 through their metal connecting brackets.
[0096] In this embodiment, the ninth mounting part 109 is a mounting hole, and the suspension module 110 is connected to the ninth mounting part 109 by bolts to realize the installation of the suspension module 110. By using symmetrically arranged suspension modules 110, the vibration of the engine can be effectively balanced.
[0097] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the two ends of the third support member 300 are respectively connected to the wing surface of the frame 10, and the second support member 200 is connected to the two first support members 100 through the tenth mounting part 1012 on the first support member 100, so as to ensure the stability of the entire support structure.
[0098] By adopting the front-end combination module provided in this embodiment, the suspension module 110 is further integrated, thereby further improving the space utilization rate.
[0099] In an optional embodiment, the number of ninth mounting portions 109 is at least two, with each ninth mounting portion 109 located on both sides of the first mounting portion 101.
[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are multiple ninth mounting parts 109, and each ninth mounting part 109 is distributed on both sides of the first mounting part 101, so as to match the shape of the suspension module 110, fix the suspension module 110 at multiple points, and avoid the cooling module 400, so as to prevent interference between the suspension module 110 and the cooling module 400.
[0101] Among them, the ninth mounting part 109 near the third support member 300 is located between the seventh mounting part 107 and the first mounting part 101, and the ninth mounting part 109 near the second support member 200 is located between the first mounting part 101 and the fourth mounting part 104, thereby ensuring space utilization while avoiding interference between the modules.

Three of the ninth mounting portions 109 are located between the seventh mounting portion 107 and the first mounting portion 101, and two of the ninth mounting portions 109 are located between the first mounting portion 101 and the fourth mounting portion 104. This multi-point fixing method ensures the stability of the suspension module 110. In other embodiments, the arrangement and number of the ninth mounting portions 109 can be adaptively selected according to actual needs. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0103] In an optional embodiment, the front-end assembly module further includes a radar module 120. The second support member 200 has a first mounting portion 201 and a second mounting portion 202.
