Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive AGS technology, and in particular to an external AGS blade self-adjusting structure, an external AGS with the same structure, and an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in automotive AGS (Active Grille System) systems on the market, while the blades meet basic functional requirements, a certain gap is generally left in the Y-direction (the width direction of the car) for the blades. This gap allows the blades to absorb the size changes caused by thermal expansion and contraction, preventing them from being damaged by squeezing against surrounding components when they become larger due to thermal expansion and contraction.

[0003] In automotive AGS (Automatic Guided Vehicles), the clearance provided for the blades in the Y-direction absorbs dimensional changes due to thermal expansion and contraction. However, this clearance also allows for some movement of the blades in the Y-direction. In an internal AGS, the blades are located inside the vehicle, making them difficult to touch and thus less prone to Y-direction movement. Even if movement occurs, it doesn't affect the blades' functionality. However, in an external AGS, the blades are directly exposed, located on the outer edge of the front end as part of the vehicle's aesthetic design. This makes the blades easily accessible, leading to Y-direction movement. This movement affects the aesthetics of the front end and can give the illusion of damaged blades. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an external AGS blade self-adjusting structure and an external AGS and automobile having the same structure, so as to solve the above technical problems.

[0005] This utility model provides an external AGS blade self-adjusting structure, including a blade and a mounting base. The blade has a mounting portion extending from its longitudinal end. The mounting base has a through hole that matches the mounting portion of the blade, and the mounting base has an elastic reset portion. The mounting portion of the blade passes through the through hole of the mounting base and abuts against the elastic reset portion in the mounting base. When the blade moves along its longitudinal direction, the elastic reset portion can adapt to the movement of the blade and can push the blade back to its original position under the elastic recovery action.

[0006] Optionally, the elastic reset part has two opposing ends, one end of the elastic reset part is connected to the mounting base, and the other end of the elastic reset part abuts against the mounting part of the blade.

[0007] Optionally, a first reinforcing rib is formed on the side of the mounting portion, and a second reinforcing rib is formed at the point where the elastic reset portion abuts against the mounting portion, wherein the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib abut against each other.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting base has an opening communicating with the receiving space, the opening being located above the elastic reset part and the mounting part, so as to observe the contact between the elastic reset part and the mounting part.

[0009] Optionally, a retaining ring extends from the peripheral wall of the mounting portion near the end of the elastic reset portion, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the retaining ring is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole.

[0010] Optionally, the mounting base includes a base and an assembly base, the base and the assembly base enclose a receiving space, the through hole is opened on the base or the assembly base, the mounting part of the blade passes through the through hole and is located in the receiving space, and the elastic reset part is provided on the assembly base.

[0011] Optionally, the base and the mounting bracket are detachably connected.

[0012] Optionally, the first reinforcing rib is annular, and the second reinforcing rib is linear.

[0013] This utility model also provides an external AGS, including the external AGS blade self-adjusting structure as described above.

[0014] This utility model also provides a car, including the external AGS as described above.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By abutting the elastic reset part on the mounting base against the mounting part on the blade, when the blade undergoes dimensional changes due to thermal expansion and contraction, the elastic reset part can absorb the dimensional changes through deformation. When the blade is touched by a pedestrian and moves in the Y direction, the blade can return to its original position under the action of the elastic reset part, keeping the blade in a set position to ensure the aesthetics of the vehicle's front end.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an external AGS blade self-adjusting structure, including a blade 10 and a mounting base 20. The blade 10 is connected to the mounting base 20, and the mounting base 20 has mounting holes for connecting with the AGS frame or grille. The mounting base 20 is connected to the frame or grille of the automotive AGS through the mounting holes, thereby holding the blade 10 between the bars of the automotive AGS grille. Specifically, for the connection between the blade 10 and the mounting base 20, the end of the blade 10 in the longitudinal direction extends with a mounting portion 11, and the mounting base 20 has a through hole 2311 that matches the mounting portion 11 of the blade 10, so that the mounting portion 11 of the blade 10 passes through the through hole 2311 and is assembled onto the mounting base 20. Furthermore, the mounting base 20 is provided with an elastic reset part 21. After the mounting part 11 of the blade 10 passes through the through hole 2311 of the mounting base 20, it abuts against the elastic reset part 21 in the mounting base 20. When the blade 10 moves along its length direction, the elastic reset part 21 can adapt to the movement of the blade 10 and can push the blade 10 back to its original position under the elastic restoration action.

[0032] In the external AGS blade self-adjusting structure provided in this embodiment, when the blade 10 increases in size due to thermal expansion and contraction, the elastic reset part 21 deforms under the pressure of the mounting part 11 of the blade 10, thereby adapting to the size change of the blade 10. The deformation of the elastic reset part 21 absorbs the size change of the blade 10, preventing the blade 10 from being damaged by compression with surrounding components due to its increased size. Since the blade 10 only increases in size at this time, rather than undergoing Y-direction displacement, the elastic reset part 21 always maintains its deformed state to adapt to the size change of the blade 10. Furthermore, since the blade 10 of the external AGS is directly exposed, when the blade 10 moves in the Y direction due to external contact, the elastic reset part 21 can adapt to the Y-direction movement of the blade 10 through deformation. After the pushing force on the blade 10 is removed, the elastic reset part 21 pushes the blade 10 back to its original position during the elastic recovery process, keeping the blade 10 in its initial position to ensure the aesthetics of the front of the vehicle.

[0033] In some embodiments, there are two mounting bases 20, and mounting portions 11 extend from opposite ends of the blade 10 along its length. The two mounting portions 11 at opposite ends of the blade 10 respectively abut against the elastically reset portions 21 of the two mounting bases 20. See the detailed structure for reference. Figure 1 , Figure 1 The image shows the mounting portion 11 and mounting base 20 at one end of the blade 10. Correspondingly, the structure at the other end of the blade 10 can be considered as... Figure 1 The structure is symmetrical, and the blade 10 is connected to the elastic reset part 21 in the two mounting seats 20 through the mounting parts 11 at both ends of the blade 10. The elastic reset part 21 in the mounting seats 20 at both ends of the blade 10 can simultaneously adjust the Y-direction position of the blade 10, which can ensure the centering of the blade 10 and keep the blade 10 centered in the space formed by the grid bars, thus ensuring aesthetics.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the elastic reset part 21 is generally plate-shaped, with opposite ends, and its extension direction is perpendicular to the Y-direction. One end of the elastic reset part 21 is connected to the mounting base 20, and the other end abuts against the mounting part 11 of the blade 10. When the elastic reset part 21 is squeezed by the blade 10, it deforms to adapt to the Y-direction displacement of the blade 10. When the elastic reset part 21 recovers under elastic recovery, it pushes the blade 10 back to its original position, keeping the blade 10 in its initial position and satisfying aesthetic requirements. In this embodiment, the elastic reset part 21 can be made of plastic-based composite material, such as PP+GF30 or PA6+GF30. These materials are elastic and can be elastically deformed by the mounting part 11 of the blade 10, and can recover its deformation after the pressure is removed, pushing the mounting part 11 back to its original position.

[0035] In some embodiments, the elastic reset part 21 may also be composed of components such as a spring and abutment block. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the mounting base 20 and the abutment block. The spring extends along the length direction of the blade 10, and the mounting part 11 of the blade 10 passes through the through hole 2311 of the mounting base 20 and abuts against the abutment block inside the mounting base 20. When the size of the blade 10 increases due to thermal expansion and contraction, the spring retracts to adapt to the size change of the blade 10. When the blade 10 is touched externally and causes Y-direction displacement to press against the abutment block, the spring first retracts to adapt to the Y-direction movement of the blade 10. Then, when the spring elastically recovers, it pushes the abutment block back to its original position and then pushes the blade 10 back to its original position, keeping the blade 10 in its initial position to meet aesthetic requirements.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a connecting portion 12 extends from the edge of one surface of the blade 10 in a direction away from that surface. A mounting portion 11 is perpendicularly connected to the connecting portion 12, and the mounting portion 11 and the blade 10 are located on opposite sides of the connecting portion 12. The mounting portion 11 is closer to the vehicle interior than the blade 10. This allows the mounting base 20 to be arranged inside the vehicle. When the blade 10 abuts against the elastic reset portion 21 of the mounting base 20 via the mounting portion 11, the blade 10 is arranged at the front of the vehicle via the connecting portion 12 and is displayed externally as part of the aesthetic components.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 5As shown, the mounting base 20 includes a base 23 and a mounting base 22. The base 23 is generally a straight plate. An extension 231 extends vertically from one side of the upper surface of the base 23, and the extension 231 is located in the middle of this side. A through hole 2311 is formed on the extension 231. The mounting base 22 includes a body 221 and mounting portions 222 connected to both sides of the body 221. The mounting portions 222 are L-shaped, forming a first connecting portion 2222 and a second connecting portion 2223. The first connecting portion 2222 is vertically connected to one end of the body 221, and the second connecting portion 2223 is vertically connected to the first connecting portion 2222 and extends in a direction away from the body 221. The extension portion of the base 23... The extension 231 is located below the main body 221 of the mounting base 22 and between the two mounting parts 222. The first connecting part 2222 of the two mounting parts 222 can limit the extension 231, and the length of the extension 231 in the Y direction is less than the length of the main body 221 in the Y direction. The extension 231 is located below one side of the main body 221, and the elastic reset part 21 is located below the other side of the main body 221. The extension 231 and the elastic reset part 21 are parallel, so that the extension 231 on the base 23 and the elastic reset part 21 on the main body 221 of the mounting base 22 form a receiving space to accommodate the mounting part 11, and the mounting part 11 abuts against the elastic reset part 21. The main body 221 of the mounting base 22 has an opening 2211 communicating with the receiving space. The opening 2211 is located above the elastic reset part 21 and the mounting part 11 to observe the abutment of the elastic reset part 21 and the mounting part 11. When assembling the blade 10 and the mounting base 20, the contact between the mounting portion 11 and the elastic reset portion 21 of the blade 10 can be easily observed through the opening 2211. If they are in place, the next installation step can be carried out. If the mounting portion 11 and the elastic reset portion 21 of the blade 10 are misaligned or not in contact, an adaptive adjustment can be made. When the blade 10 moves toward the mounting base 20 due to external contact, the mounting portion 11 on the blade 10 moves in the same direction as the blade 10 in the receiving space. During the movement of the mounting portion 11, it pushes the elastic reset portion 21 on the body portion 221 of the mounting base 22, causing the elastic reset portion 21 to deform to adapt to the movement of the blade 10. After deformation, the elastic reset portion 21 pushes the mounting portion 11 to move in the opposite direction under its own elastic recovery action, thereby pushing the blade 10 back to its original position.

[0038] In other embodiments, the through hole 2311 may also be formed on the mounting base 22. In this embodiment, the extension 231 may be fixedly connected to the body portion 221 of the mounting base 22. The extension 231 and the elastic reset portion 21 are respectively connected to the lower sides of opposite sides of the body portion 221 of the mounting base 22. The extension 231, the elastic reset portion 21, and the body portion 221 of the mounting base 22 are an integral structure, which together form a receiving space to accommodate the mounting portion 11. The through hole 2311 is formed on the extension 231. After the mounting portion 11 passes through the through hole 2311, the mounting portion 11 is partially or entirely located in the receiving space and abuts against the elastic reset portion 21.

[0039] And, as Figure 2 As shown, a retaining ring 111 extends from the peripheral wall of the mounting portion 11 near the elastic reset portion 21. The cross-sectional area of ​​the retaining ring 111 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 2311. This ensures that in the Y direction, the two opposite sides of the retaining ring 111 of the mounting portion 11 are limited by the elastic reset portion 21 and the extension portion 231, respectively. The mounting portion 11 is restricted by the retaining ring 111 and can only move in the Y direction within a certain range, preventing the mounting portion 11 from falling out of the mounting base 20 and thus causing the blade 10 to fall off.

[0040] At the same time, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown, a third connecting portion 233 extends vertically along the side of the upper surface of the base 23. An extension portion 231 and the third connecting portion 233 are located on the same side of the base 23. The extension portion 231 is closer to the center of the base 23 than the third connecting portion 233. A fourth connecting portion 234 extends vertically from both sides of the extension portion 231 towards the center of the base 23. The length of the fourth connecting portion 234 in the Y direction is greater than the length of the extension portion 231 in the Y direction but less than the length of the base 23 in the Y direction, creating a clearance space 235 between the two fourth connecting portions 234. This allows for clearance from projectiles when the mounting base 22 and the base 23 are assembled. The base 23 has a reset part 21 and a retaining ring 111, and the opening 2211 on the body part 221 of the mounting base 22 corresponds to the clearance space 235. The two fourth connecting parts 234 correspond to the two mounting parts 222 of the mounting base 22. The two fourth connecting parts 234 of the base 23 are provided with two parallel alignment parts 232. The alignment parts 232 are provided with a first mounting hole 2321 extending perpendicular to the base 23. The second connecting part 2223 of the mounting base 22 is provided with a second mounting hole 2221 that matches the first mounting hole 2321. The first mounting hole 2321 is a threaded hole, and the second mounting hole 2221 is a threaded hole or a smooth hole. When assembling the base 23 and the mounting base 22, the second connecting portion 2223 of the mounting portion 222 of the mounting base 22 abuts against the aligning portion 232 of the base 23. The base 23 and the mounting base 22 are detachably connected by screws 30 passing through the first mounting hole 2321 of the base 23 and the second mounting hole 2221 of the mounting base 22. One end of the screw 30 passes through the first mounting hole 2321 and the second mounting hole 2221 and is located below the fourth connecting portion 234. If the blade 10 is damaged or components such as the elastic reset portion 21 are damaged, the screws 30 can be removed to disassemble the base 23 and the mounting base 22. At this time, the blade 10, the base 23, and the mounting base 22 can be separated for maintenance.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that the basic function of the blade 10 is to adapt to different driving conditions of the vehicle by rotating the blade 10 through the drive mechanism on the vehicle to adjust the air intake of the front of the vehicle. In this embodiment, the mounting part 11 on the blade 10 abuts against the elastic reset part 21 in the mounting base 20. During the rotation of the blade 10, the mounting part 11 and the elastic reset part 21 will wear. At the same time, when the drive mechanism drives the blade 10 to rotate, the abutment between the blade 10 and the elastic reset part 21 will also hinder the rotation of the blade 10.

[0042] To minimize wear and tear, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown in the diagram, in this embodiment, a first reinforcing rib 112 in an annular shape is formed on the side of the mounting portion 11, and a second reinforcing rib 211 in a straight line is formed at the point where the elastic reset portion 21 abuts against the mounting portion 11. The first reinforcing rib 112 and the second reinforcing rib 211 abut against each other, and the second reinforcing rib 211 abuts against the middle of the first reinforcing rib 112. The mounting portion 11 and the elastic reset portion 21 abut against each other through the first reinforcing rib 112 and the second reinforcing rib 211, which can reduce the wear on the mounting portion 11 and the elastic reset portion 21 of the blade 10. Furthermore, the first reinforcing rib 112 in an annular shape and the second reinforcing rib 211 in a straight line abut against each other, with only two contact points between the first reinforcing rib 112 and the second reinforcing rib 211, can reduce the contact area between the mounting portion 11 and the elastic reset portion 21 on the blade 10 compared to the method of attaching the first reinforcing rib 112 and the second reinforcing rib 211 with two planes, thereby further reducing wear and reducing the frictional resistance between the mounting portion 11 and the elastic reset portion 21 when the blade 10 rotates.

[0043] In summary, the external AGS blade self-adjusting structure provided in this embodiment can keep the blade 10 in its initial position through the elastic action of the elastic reset part 21. Even when the blade 10 moves along the Y direction due to external contact, it can promptly return to its initial position, avoiding affecting the aesthetic appearance of the front of the vehicle. Furthermore, the mounting part 11 and the elastic reset part 21 abut against each other through a first annular reinforcing rib 112 and a second linear reinforcing rib 211, resulting in two contact points between the mounting part 11 and the elastic reset part 21. This reduces the contact area, thereby reducing frictional loss between the mounting part 11 and the elastic reset part 21 when the blade 10 rotates, improving service life, and without hindering the rotation of the blade 10 during opening and closing. Simultaneously, the mounting base 20 is detachably composed of a base 23 and a mounting seat 22, facilitating disassembly and maintenance in case of damage.

[0044] This embodiment also provides an external AGS, including the external AGS blade self-adjusting structure as described above. The mounting base 20 is detachably connected to the frame or grid of the external AGS through the assembly hole. There are multiple blades 10, and the multiple blades 10 are respectively located in the space between the grid bars of the external AGS.

[0045] This embodiment also provides a vehicle including the externally mounted AGS as described above.

[0046] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
