Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and in particular to a split front bumper. Background Technology

[0002] In the automobile manufacturing process, bumpers are installed at both the front and rear of the car body. Bumpers not only have a decorative function, but more importantly, they can absorb and buffer external impacts to protect the vehicle body and the safety of the occupants.

[0003] The front bumper, installed at the front of the vehicle, is increasingly demanding higher rigidity and perceived quality from consumers as their sophistication rises. Traditional front bumpers often employ a single, integrated structure. However, due to the limitations of this design, the internal reinforcing ribs are placed in a limited number of locations, making it unable to cope with different collision points. This can lead to uneven stress on the front bumper, potentially affecting its protective effect on the vehicle and occupants. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application proposes a split front bumper that enhances structural strength and impact resistance, can efficiently disperse and absorb collision energy, improve safety performance, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a split front bumper, characterized in that it includes a front bumper and a reinforcing rib;

[0006] The front bumper includes bumper side panels and a central bumper pillar. The central bumper pillar is a circular column structure suitable for installation in the middle of the front of the vehicle. The bumper side panels are vertically extending plate structures. An elliptical through hole is provided on one side of the plate body for mounting headlights. There are two bumper side panels, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the length direction of the central bumper pillar.

[0007] The reinforcing ribs include a first reinforcing rib and a second reinforcing rib. The first reinforcing rib is located at the bottom edge of the bumper side wing and extends along the length of the central bumper pillar. The second reinforcing rib is located on one side edge of the bumper side wing near the central bumper pillar and extends along the direction of the bumper side wing.

[0008] In one embodiment of the utility model, the second reinforcing ribs are distributed in an arc shape along the edge of the elliptical through hole, and there are multiple second reinforcing ribs, with a certain included angle between two adjacent second reinforcing ribs.

[0009] In one embodiment of the utility model, the thickness of the first reinforcing rib is about 4 mm, which is greater than the thickness of the second reinforcing rib.

[0010] In one embodiment of the utility model, the two sides of the center bumper pillar are provided with protruding buckles, and the side wing plate of the bumper is provided with a connecting groove on the side near the center bumper pillar, and the side wing plate of the bumper is engaged with the protruding buckles through the connecting groove.

[0011] In one embodiment of the utility model, the connecting slot is provided with connecting holes around it. There are multiple connecting holes, which are located on the side wing of the bumper and the center bumper, and the positions of the connecting holes match.

[0012] In one embodiment of the utility model, a connecting bolt is also included, which passes through the connecting hole to fix the center bumper and the bumper side panel.

[0013] In one embodiment of the utility model, a sealing rubber gasket is provided at the connection between the connecting slot and the protruding buckle.

[0014] In one embodiment of the utility model, the second reinforcing rib is adapted to cover the projection area of ​​the car's headlights.

[0016] In one embodiment of the utility model, a shock-absorbing rubber pad is provided at the connection between the mounting bracket and the split front bumper.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through a split design, the bumper side panels and central bumper are symmetrically combined, breaking through the limitations of traditional integrated designs. Combined with the precise layout of the first and second reinforcing ribs, the first reinforcing rib strengthens the bottom edge of the side panel and extends along the length of the central bumper to enhance lateral impact resistance. The second reinforcing ribs are distributed arc-shaped along the elliptical through-holes and are set in multiple groups at an angle, covering the headlight projection area. This not only specifically strengthens the structural strength around the headlights but also disperses collision energy through multi-directional force distribution, effectively solving the problem of uneven force distribution in traditional integrated bumpers and significantly improving impact resistance and safety protection. The use of double fixing with clips and bolts, combined with sealing rubber gaskets, ensures a stable connection while also preventing corrosion and buffering vibration. The mounting bracket is equipped with shock-absorbing rubber pads to reduce vibration and friction, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. High-strength plastic is selected, balancing impact resistance and lightweight design, reducing energy consumption and solving the problem of uneven force distribution in traditional integrated structures.

[0028] Specific references Figure 1 As a split-type front bumper of this utility model, the device includes: a front bumper and reinforcing ribs; the front bumper includes bumper side wing plates 110 and a central bumper pillar 120, the central bumper pillar 120 is a circular columnar structure, suitable for installation in the middle of the front of the vehicle body, the bumper side wing plates 110 are vertically extending plate-like structures, and an elliptical through hole is opened on one side of the plate-like main body for placing headlights, and there are two bumper side wing plates 110, symmetrically arranged at both ends of the length direction of the central bumper pillar 120; the reinforcing ribs include a first reinforcing rib 112 and a second reinforcing rib 111, the first reinforcing rib 112 is located at the bottom edge of the bumper side wing plate and extends along the length direction of the central bumper pillar, and the second reinforcing rib 111 is located in the edge area of ​​the bumper side wing plate near the central bumper pillar and extends along the direction of the bumper side wing plate.

[0029] In this example, the first reinforcing rib 112 is located at the bottom edge of the bumper side wing panel, extending along the length of the central bumper pillar. It strengthens the lateral structural strength of the bottom of the side wing panel, effectively resisting impact forces and transferring the force to the central bumper pillar during bottom or side collisions, thus enhancing the overall lateral impact resistance. Its thickness is set to approximately 4mm, greater than the thickness of the second reinforcing rib, further ensuring the load-bearing and impact resistance performance of the bottom edge.

[0030] In this example, the second reinforcing rib 111 is located on the edge of the side wing panel of the bumper near the central bumper pillar. It extends along the direction of the side wing panel 110 and is distributed in an arc shape along the edge of the elliptical through hole. There are multiple ribs, and there is a certain angle between adjacent ribs, so that it can accurately cover the projection area of ​​the car's headlights. This not only specifically strengthens the structural strength around the headlights to prevent the headlights from being damaged by collisions, but also disperses energy in different directions during a collision through the multi-directional rib layout, avoiding structural damage caused by excessive local stress.

[0031] In this example, the central bumper 120 adopts a circular columnar structure, which can more evenly distribute the impact force in the event of a frontal collision. It also adapts to the installation requirements of the central position at the front of the vehicle, providing stable central support for the overall structure. The two bumper side panels 110 are symmetrically distributed at both ends of the central bumper 120 along its length, forming a symmetrical structure that ensures the balance of forces on the front of the vehicle. Their vertically extending plate-like structure satisfies the adaptability to the side of the vehicle body, providing a spatial basis for the setting of the elliptical through-hole. This elliptical through-hole matches the shape of the car headlights, allowing for stable placement of the headlights without affecting their illumination function.

[0032] In this example, the connection between the center bumper pillar and the bumper side panel employs a dual fixing method combining clips and bolts. The center bumper pillar has protruding clips on both sides, and the bumper side panel near the center bumper pillar has a matching connecting groove. The two are initially fixed by engaging, ensuring precise positioning during installation. Multiple connecting holes are located around the connecting groove, on both the bumper side panel and the center bumper pillar, and are positioned correctly. Connecting bolts pass through these holes to further secure the connection, making it more stable and reliable, preventing loosening over long-term use. A sealing rubber gasket is placed at the connection point between the connecting groove and the protruding clips to enhance the seal, preventing rainwater and dust from entering and causing corrosion. It also provides some cushioning during vehicle movement or collisions, reducing wear caused by vibration.

[0033] In this example, the split front bumper also includes a mounting bracket. One end of the mounting bracket is welded to the vehicle to ensure a stable connection with the body, while the other end is bolted to the front bumper for easy disassembly and maintenance. A shock-absorbing rubber pad is installed at the connection point between the mounting bracket and the front bumper to reduce friction and noise caused by vibrations during vehicle operation. It can further buffer impact forces during collisions, improving the overall structural stability.

[0034] The various embodiments of this application have been described above. These descriptions are exemplary and not exhaustive, nor are they limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is chosen to best explain the principles, practical application, or improvement of the technology in the market, or to enable others skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
