Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of protective grille technology, specifically a multi-layer protective grille structure for automotive grilles. Background Technology
[0002] The multi-layer protective grille structure of a car's front grille is a grille design with multiple protective functions. Compared with the traditional single-layer grille, it can better meet the needs of cars in terms of protection, heat dissipation, and aesthetics.
[0003] To improve protection and heat dissipation, existing multi-layer protective grille structures typically install a motor and fan blade assembly at the outermost grille. However, the continuous operation of the fan blades depends on the continuous power consumption of the motor. If a high-speed motor is used (e.g., when cooling demand is strong), the total power will increase significantly. For gasoline vehicles, this will increase the engine load (indirectly increasing fuel consumption), and for new energy vehicles, it will directly consume battery power, leading to a reduction in driving range. Therefore, a new structure is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-layer protective grille structure for automotive grilles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model relates to a multi-layer protective grille structure for automotive grilles, comprising:
[0006] A multi-layer protective grid assembly, comprising a columnar grid layer, a hexagonal slotted grid layer, and a circular slotted grid layer, wherein the columnar grid layer, the hexagonal slotted grid layer, and the circular slotted grid layer are movably connected to each other.
[0007] The self-rotating energy-saving component includes a receiving rod, a circular receiving groove, a shaft, and a spiral fan. The receiving rod is fixedly installed on the columnar grid layer. A circular receiving groove is opened through the middle of the receiving rod. The shaft is movably connected in the circular receiving groove. One end of the shaft is fixedly connected to the spiral fan.
[0008] Furthermore, there are a total of five spiral fans, distributed in the horizontal direction in the middle of the columnar grid layer.

[0010] Furthermore, the distance between the limiting rings is greater than the thickness of the receiving rod.
[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a quick separation component, which includes an insert plate, a first slot, and a second slot. The insert plate is fixedly connected to both sides of the circular slot grid layer. The first slot is opened through both ends of the hexagonal slot grid layer. The second slot is opened through both sides of the cylindrical grid layer. The insert plate is movably inserted into the first slot and the second slot.
[0012] Furthermore, the quick separation assembly also includes a strip groove, a locking rod, a slot, and a spring. The strip groove is formed in the insert plate, and the locking rod and the spring are movably connected in the strip groove. The top of the second slot is connected to a slot, and the locking rod is movably engaged in the slot.
[0013] Furthermore, the quick separation assembly also includes a guide groove and a pressure block.

[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a multi-layer protective grille structure for automotive grilles, comprising:
[0030] A multi-layer protective grid assembly includes a columnar grid layer 101, a hexagonal slotted grid layer 102, and a circular slotted grid layer 103, which are movably connected to each other.
[0031] The self-rotating energy-saving component includes a receiving rod 201, a circular receiving groove 202, a shaft 203, and a spiral fan 204. The receiving rod 201 is fixedly installed on the columnar grid layer 101. The circular receiving groove 202 is opened through the middle of the receiving rod 201. The shaft 203 is movably connected in the circular receiving groove 202. One end of the shaft 203 is fixedly connected to the spiral fan 204. There are a total of five spiral fans 204, which are distributed in the horizontal direction in the middle of the columnar grid layer 101. The self-rotating energy-saving component also includes a limiting ring 205. The limiting ring 205 is fixedly connected to the outside of the shaft 203 and the other end. The limiting ring 205 is located at the front and rear ends of the receiving rod 201.
[0032] The structure formed by the columnar grid layer 101, the hexagonal slotted grid layer 102, and the circular slotted grid layer 103 can intercept debris of different diameters, thus improving the overall protective effect. The columnar grid layer 101 is the outer left layer and comes into contact with external debris first. The setting of the receiving rod 201 provides a guarantee for the opening of the circular receiving groove 202. The unique structure of the spiral fan 204 allows the external force generated when the vehicle is moving to act on the spiral fan 204. The shaft 203 connected to the side of the spiral fan 204 is movably connected to the circular receiving groove 202, thereby enabling the spiral fan 204 to rotate. The two limiting rings 205 are used to limit the shaft 203 to prevent it from detaching from the receiving rod 201.
[0033] The distance between the limiting rings 205 is greater than the thickness of the receiving rod 201;
[0034] The dimensional arrangement between the aforementioned components provides space for the smooth rotation of the shaft 203.
[0035] Working principle: In the multi-layer protective grille assembly, the columnar grille layer 101, as the outermost layer, is the first to come into contact with external debris. The hexagonal slot grille layer 102 and the circular slot grille layer 103 work in sequence to intercept debris of different diameters through grilles with different structures, thus initially achieving the protective function. At the same time, the support rod 201 fixedly installed on the columnar grille layer 101 provides a stable installation base for the subsequent rotating components. The circular support groove 202 creates conditions for the movable connection of the shaft 203. When the vehicle is moving, the external force generated by the airflow acts on the spiral fan 204. Due to the unique structural design of the spiral fan 204, it can effectively withstand the airflow force. Moreover, the shaft 203 connected to its side is movably connected to the circular support groove 202. Driven by the external force of the airflow, the shaft 203 can rotate around the central axis of the circular support groove 202, thereby driving the spiral fan 204 to rotate. Thus, without the need for motor drive and without consuming additional energy, it helps to enhance the heat dissipation effect and achieve the purpose of energy saving.
[0036] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:
[0037] The quick separation assembly includes an insert plate 301, a first slot 302, and a second slot 303. The insert plate 301 is fixedly connected to both sides of the circular slot grid layer 103. The first slot 302 is opened through both ends of the hexagonal slot grid layer 102. The second slot 303 is opened through both sides of the columnar grid layer 101. The insert plate 301 can be movably inserted into the first slot 302 and the second slot 303.
[0038] The insert plate 301, the first slot 302 and the second slot 303 work together to ensure the initial movable connection between the circular slot grid layer 103, the hexagonal slot grid layer 102 and the columnar grid layer 101.
[0039] The quick separation assembly also includes a strip groove 304, a locking rod 305, a slot 306, and a spring 307. The strip groove 304 is provided in the insert plate 301, and the locking rod 305 and the spring 307 are movably connected in the strip groove 304. The top of the second slot 303 is connected to the slot 306, and the locking rod 305 is movably engaged in the slot 306.
[0040] The slot 304 on the insert plate 301 provides a guarantee for the movement of the locking rod 305 and the deformation of the spring 307. The spring 307 can securely lock the locking rod 305 in the slot 306, thereby achieving a secure connection between the circular slot grid layer 103, the hexagonal slot grid layer 102 and the columnar grid layer 101.
[0041] The quick separation assembly also includes a guide groove 308 and a pressure block 309. The guide groove 308 is opened at the front end of the insert plate 301. The guide groove 308 is connected to the strip groove 304. The pressure block 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front end of the locking rod 305. The pressure block 309 is movably connected in the guide groove 308.
[0042] The guide groove 308 and the pressure block 309 work together to limit the movement range of the locking rod 305, preventing it from detaching from the insert plate 301. At the same time, the pressure block 309 ensures that the user can quickly press down and move the locking rod 305, thus ensuring the quick removal of the locking rod 305 from the slot 306. This, in turn, ensures the quick assembly and disassembly of the circular slot grid layer 103, the hexagonal slot grid layer 102, and the columnar grid layer 101, making it easier to clean and replace the circular slot grid layer 103, the hexagonal slot grid layer 102, and the columnar grid layer 101.
[0043] Working principle: When it is necessary to disassemble the three grid layers for cleaning or replacement, the operator presses the pressure block 309 protruding from the guide groove 308 by hand. Since the pressure block 309 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front end of the locking rod 305, pressing the pressure block 309 will drive the locking rod 305 to move into the strip groove 304, while compressing the spring 307, until the locking rod 305 is completely disengaged from the slot 306, releasing the locking state. After the locking state is released, the operator pulls the columnar grid layer 101 and the hexagonal groove grid layer 102. At this time, with the cooperation of the first slot 302 and the second slot 303 and the insert plate 301, separation is achieved. After cleaning, the above process is repeated in reverse to realize the installation between the columnar grid layer 101, the hexagonal groove grid layer 102 and the circular groove grid layer 103.

These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
