[0034] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The front upper beam assembly according to the present invention has a simple structure, can ensure installation reliability, increase the force transmission path, improve the force transmission efficiency, reduce in-vehicle vibration and noise, ensure user experience, ensure safety, improve integration, and thus improve weight reduction, thereby improving vehicle range performance.
[0035] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a front upper side beam assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a front upper side beam 1 and a fender mounting structure 2.
[0036] The upper front beam 1 is constructed to be inclined outward from bottom to top along the front-rear direction. The front part of the upper front beam 1 is adapted to be connected to the rear side of the energy-absorbing box 7, and the rear part of the upper front beam 1 is adapted to be connected to the front side of the A-pillar assembly. The middle part of the upper front beam 1 is provided with a mounting part 11. The fender mounting structure 2 is connected to the mounting part 11, and the fender mounting structure 2 is used to mount the fender 6.
[0037] The upper side beam assembly of the front bulkhead is located inside the front bulkhead assembly, which is located at the front of the vehicle. It can be connected between the front bumper and the passenger compartment to transmit force. During the transmission process, the effect of the force can be weakened to prevent the front of the vehicle from intruding into the passenger compartment and improve the safety of use.
[0038] Specifically, the front bulkhead assembly is provided with a front upper beam 1, which extends along the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The front part of the front upper beam 1 can be connected to the rear side of the energy-absorbing box 7 through the adapter 3, and the front part of the energy-absorbing box 7 is connected to the front bumper. The rear part of the front upper beam 1 can be connected to the front side of the A-pillar assembly through the side panel connecting plate assembly 5. That is, when the front of the vehicle collides, the collision force can be transmitted to the energy-absorbing box 7 for weakening, and then transmitted rearward through the energy-absorbing box 7 and the adapter 3 to the front upper beam 1. It can also be transmitted rearward through the front upper beam 1 to the side panel connecting plate assembly 5, and then transmitted to the A-pillar assembly through the side panel connecting plate assembly 5. The energy-absorbing box 7 can also transmit the force to the front longitudinal beam 4 and the chassis suspension through the adapter 3, thereby increasing the force transmission path.
[0039] Furthermore, the upper front beam 1 is designed to extend outwards and upwards along the front-rear direction. When the upper front beam 1 is subjected to force and deforms, it can deform outwards to the left and right sides of the vehicle, preventing the upper front beam 1 from intruding into the passenger compartment and improving safety. In addition, when the vehicle is involved in a side collision, the collision force can be applied to the upper front beam 1 first and then transmitted through the upper front beam 1, further improving safety.
[0040] Furthermore, the upper front beam assembly is also provided with a fender mounting structure 2, which can be used to mount the fender 6. The fender 6 is the outer body panel that covers the wheel. The upper front beam 1 has a mounting part 11 in the middle. The fender mounting structure 2 can be connected to the mounting part 11, so that the fender 6 can be connected to the upper front beam 1 through the fender mounting structure 2. The structure is simple, which can reduce production costs and improve integration, thereby improving vehicle lightweighting and improving vehicle range performance.
[0041] In actual installation, a fender mounting structure 2 can also be installed at the side panel connecting plate assembly 5 to ensure the reliability of fender 6 installation. When the force is transmitted to the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead, it can be transmitted to the fender 6 through the fender mounting structure 2. When the fender 6 is subjected to force, the force can also be transmitted to the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead through the fender mounting structure 2, thereby increasing the force transmission path and ensuring driving safety.
[0042] In addition, when the vehicle travels on bumpy roads, the vibration force can be transmitted to the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead, the longitudinal beam 4 of the front bulkhead, and the chassis suspension. The vibration force transmitted to the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead can also be transmitted to the fender 6 and the A-pillar assembly, thereby weakening the vibration force, improving the vehicle's NVH performance, and ensuring the user's comfort.
[0043] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the front upper beam assembly is provided with a front upper beam 1, and the fender 6 can be connected to the mounting part 11 of the front upper beam 1 through the fender mounting structure 2. This can increase the force transmission path, improve integration, improve the overall vehicle weight reduction, and thus improve the overall vehicle range performance. The structure is simple and can reduce production costs. Furthermore, by constructing the front upper beam 1 to be inclined outward from bottom to top along the front-rear direction, the front upper beam 1 can be prevented from intruding into the passenger compartment during a collision, improving safety and reducing in-vehicle vibration and noise, ensuring a better user experience, and having a wider range of applications.
[0044] In some embodiments, the mounting part 11 is located on the outer side of the upper side beam 1 of the front enclosure, and the mounting part 11 is configured as a mounting boss, and the mounting boss is provided to protrude outward on the outer side of the upper side beam 1 of the front enclosure.
[0045] Specifically, the fender 6 can be connected to the mounting part 11 via the fender mounting structure 2, and the fender 6 is used to cover the wheel to ensure the reliability of wheel operation. That is, the fender 6 is located on the outside of the vehicle, and the mounting part 11 is formed on the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead. Figure 2 As shown, the mounting part 11 is located on the outer side of the upper beam 1 of the front bulkhead, that is, the mounting part 11 is located close to the outer side of the vehicle, which can shorten the distance between the mounting part 11 and the fender 6, thereby reducing the length of the fender mounting structure 2, thus reducing the installation cost and facilitating the installation of the fender 6. The shorter length of the fender mounting structure 2 can reduce the shear force acting on the fender mounting structure 2, thereby ensuring the reliability of the installation of the fender 6.
[0046] Furthermore, the mounting part 11 is constructed as a mounting boss, that is, the mounting boss protrudes from the outer side of the upper beam 1 of the front bulkhead, and the mounting boss is constructed as a planar boss protruding outward from the upper beam 1 of the front bulkhead, which can increase the contact area between the fender mounting structure 2 and the mounting part 11 to ensure the installation reliability of the fender mounting structure 2. Moreover, by making the mounting boss protrude outward, the distance between the mounting boss and the fender 6 can be further shortened to reduce the installation cost, improve the structural strength of the fender mounting structure 2, and ensure the installation reliability of the fender 6.
[0047] In some embodiments, the mounting boss has a connecting plane 12, which is used to fit and weld with the fender mounting structure 2.
[0048] Specifically, the mounting part 11 is constructed as a mounting boss, and the end of the mounting boss forms a connecting plane 12. The fender mounting structure 2 can be fitted to the connecting plane 12, thereby increasing the contact area between the fender mounting structure 2 and the mounting boss. The fender mounting structure 2 can be welded to the mounting boss at the connecting plane 12, thereby increasing the welding area to ensure welding reliability. This increases the connection reliability between the fender mounting structure 2 and the mounting boss, ensuring the installation reliability of the fender 6. Furthermore, this welding method can use MIG welding, which has high efficiency, high weld joint strength, good crack resistance, small welding deformation, strong adaptability, and is easy to operate, thus improving installation efficiency.
[0049] In some embodiments, the fender mounting structure 2 is provided with a connecting mating surface 211, the connecting mating surface 211 is provided with a connecting hole 212, the connecting mating surface 211 is attached to the connecting plane 12, and the connecting plane 12 is adapted to be welded to the connecting mating surface 211 at the connecting hole 212.
[0050] Specifically, the fender mounting structure 2 and the connecting plane 12 are connected by welding. The fender mounting structure 2 is provided with a connecting mating surface 211, which can fit with the connecting plane 12 of the mounting part 11, thereby increasing the contact area between the fender mounting structure 2 and the mounting part 11 to improve the connection reliability. The connecting plane 12 can support the connecting mating surface 211 to ensure the reliability of the fender mounting structure 2 in supporting the fender 6. The connecting mating surface 211 is provided with a connecting hole 212. When the connecting mating surface 211 fits with the connecting plane 12, welding can be performed between the connecting mating surface 211 and the connecting plane 12 at the connecting hole 212 to increase the welding area and ensure the welding reliability.
[0051] In actual setup, the length of the connecting plane 12 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle is set to be no less than three times the length of the connecting mating surface 211. That is, along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the length of the connecting plane 12 can be set to three times the length of the connecting mating surface 211, or the length of the connecting plane 12 can be set to be greater than three times the length of the connecting mating surface 211, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connecting plane 12 in supporting the connecting mating surface 211.
[0052] Furthermore, along the vertical direction of the vehicle, the length of the connecting plane 12 is set to be no less than twice the length of the connecting hole 212. That is, along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the length of the connecting plane 12 can be set to twice the length of the connecting hole 212, or the length of the connecting plane 12 can be set to be greater than twice the length of the connecting hole 212, so as to ensure that all parts of the connecting hole 212 can be located within the connecting plane 12, thereby ensuring that all parts of the connecting hole 212 can be welded to the connecting plane 12, thus ensuring welding reliability.
[0053] In some embodiments, at least two mounting portions 11 are provided, and the at least two mounting portions 11 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the upper side beam 1 of the front fascia, and the fender mounting structure 2 is connected to the at least two mounting portions 11 respectively.
[0054] Specifically, the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead is provided with a mounting part 11, which is used to install the fender mounting structure 2, and as shown in the figure. Figures 1-2 As shown, there are at least two mounting parts 11, that is, there can be two, three or four mounting parts 11. In this embodiment, there are two mounting parts 11, and at least two mounting parts 11 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the upper side beam 1 of the front fascia. The mounting parts 11 are all located on the outside of the upper side beam 1 of the front fascia and protrude outward, so that the fender mounting structure 2 can be welded to the connecting plane 12 of at least two mounting parts 11 respectively, so that there are multiple connection points between the fender mounting structure 2 and the upper side beam 1 of the front fascia, thereby improving the connection reliability between the fender mounting structure 2 and the upper side beam 1 of the front fascia, so as to ensure the installation reliability of the fender 6.
[0055] In actual installation, the connecting planes 12 of each mounting part 11 are arranged in parallel and extend along the front-to-back direction to ensure the welding reliability of the fender mounting structure 2 and to ensure the uniformity of force transmission to each mounting part 11, thereby ensuring the reliability of the fender mounting structure 2 in use.
[0056] In some embodiments, the fender mounting structure 2 includes a support plate 21 and a mounting bracket 23. The support plate 21 is connected to the mounting part 11, and the mounting bracket 23 is detachably connected to the support plate 21. The mounting bracket 23 is used to connect to the fender 6.
[0057] Specifically, the fender 6 can be connected to the upper side beam 1 of the front bulkhead via the fender mounting structure 2, and as follows: Figures 3-4 As shown, the fender mounting structure 2 is provided with a support plate 21 and a mounting bracket 23. The support plate 21 is connected to the mounting part 11, that is, the support plate 21 can be connected to the outside of the upper beam 1 of the front bulkhead by welding or other means, which is convenient for installation. The mounting bracket 23 is detachably connected to the support plate 21, that is, the mounting bracket 23 can be connected to the support plate 21 by connectors or the like, and the mounting bracket 23 is used to connect to the fender 6, so that the fender 6 can be detachably connected to the support plate 21 through the mounting bracket 23.
[0058] Thus, by installing the support plate 21 onto the upper beam 1 of the front bulkhead through welding or other means, the connection reliability can be ensured. The fender 6 can be detachably installed onto the support plate 21 via the mounting bracket 23, thereby allowing the fender 6 to be replaced, facilitating later maintenance and saving maintenance time. Furthermore, the support plate 21 and the mounting bracket 23 can extend outward from the upper beam 1 of the front bulkhead so that the fender 6 can be covered on the outer side of the vehicle, ensuring the reliability of wheel operation.
[0059] In some embodiments, the fender mounting structure 2 further includes a front lower mounting bracket 22, at least a portion of which extends laterally, the inner side of which is detachably connected to the support plate 21, and the outer side of which is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 23.
[0060] Specifically, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the fender mounting structure 2 is also provided with a front lower mounting bracket 22. At least a portion of the front lower mounting bracket 22 is arranged to extend laterally. It is possible to set a portion of the front lower mounting bracket 22 to extend laterally, or to set the entire front lower mounting bracket 22 to extend laterally. In this embodiment, a portion of the front lower mounting bracket 22 is set to extend laterally, and another portion is set to extend vertically. The support plate 21 is set to extend vertically. The inner side of the front lower mounting bracket 22 is detachably connected to the support plate 21, which can ensure that the inner sides of the support plate 21 and the front lower mounting bracket 22 are fitted together, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the front lower mounting bracket 22 and the support plate 21.
[0061] Furthermore, a portion of the lower front mounting bracket 22 extends laterally, and the outer side of the lower front mounting bracket 22 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 23, so that the mounting bracket 23 is located on the upper part of the fender mounting structure 2 and is set on the outer side. This allows the fender 6 to be spaced apart from the upper front beam 1, ensuring that the fender 6 and the upper front beam 1 do not interfere with each other, ensuring the reliability of the fender 6 and the upper front beam 1. In the event of a vehicle collision, the gap between the upper front beam 1 and the fender 6 can also buffer the collision force, improving safety.
[0062] Furthermore, the front lower mounting bracket 22 is detachably connected to the support plate 21 and the mounting bracket 23, and the mounting bracket 23 is also detachably connected to the fender 6. Thus, if any structure between the front lower mounting bracket 22, the mounting bracket 23 and the fender 6 is damaged, it can be replaced individually, which facilitates maintenance and saves maintenance costs.
[0063] In some embodiments, the support plate 21 is provided with a first connecting hole, and the front lower mounting bracket 22 is provided with a second connecting hole. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are used to sequentially pass through the first connector 24.
[0064] Specifically, the support plate 21 and the front lower mounting bracket 22 are detachably connected, and the support plate 21 is provided with a first connecting hole, while the front lower mounting bracket 22 is provided with a second connecting hole. The second connecting hole is located at one end of the front lower mounting bracket 22 near its inner side, and the first and second connecting holes are correspondingly provided. When the front lower mounting bracket 22 is installed on the support plate 21, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first connector 24 can be sequentially inserted into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole to fix the front lower mounting bracket 22 and the support plate 21. The first connector 24 can be a bolt or the like. The structure is simple, the installation cost is low, and the front lower mounting bracket 22 is detachable, which is convenient for later maintenance.
[0065] In actual setup, multiple first connecting holes can be set, i.e., two, three, or four first connecting holes, etc., and multiple second connecting holes can also be set, i.e., two, three, or four second connecting holes, etc. Multiple first connecting holes and multiple second connecting holes are set one-to-one, so that multiple parts of the front lower mounting bracket 22 can be connected to the support plate 21, thereby ensuring installation reliability.
[0066] In other embodiments, the lower front mounting bracket 22 is provided with a third connecting hole, and the mounting bracket 23 is provided with a fourth connecting hole. The third connecting hole and the fourth connecting hole are used to sequentially pass through the second connector 25.
[0067] Specifically, the lower front mounting bracket 22 and the mounting bracket 23 are detachably connected, and the lower front mounting bracket 22 is provided with a third connecting hole located at one end of the mounting bracket 23 near the outer side.

Figure 3 As shown, the second connector 25 can be sequentially inserted into the third and fourth connecting holes to fix the mounting bracket 23 and the front lower mounting bracket 22. The second connector 25 can be a bolt or the like. The structure is simple, the installation cost is low, and the mounting bracket 23 is detachable, which is convenient for later maintenance.
[0068] In actual setup, multiple third connecting holes can be set, i.e., two, three, or four third connecting holes, etc., and multiple fourth connecting holes can also be set, i.e., two, three, or four fourth connecting holes, etc. Multiple third connecting holes and multiple fourth connecting holes are set one-to-one, so that multiple parts of the mounting bracket 23 can be connected to the front lower mounting bracket 22, thereby ensuring installation reliability.
[0069] In some embodiments, one of the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole is configured to have a clearance fit with the first connector 24 and the width of the movable clearance is a, and satisfies: 4mm≤a≤6mm.
[0070] Specifically, the first connector 24 can be sequentially inserted into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, and the first connector 24 can be a bolt, etc. In this embodiment, the first connector 24 is an M6 bolt, and one of the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole is configured to have a clearance fit with the first connector 24. The first connecting hole can be configured to have a clearance fit with the first connector 24, and the second connecting hole can also be configured to have a clearance fit with the first connector 24. In this embodiment, the second connecting hole is a circular hole and has a clearance fit with the first connector 24.
[0071] Furthermore, the width of the movable gap between the second connecting hole and the first connecting member 24 is 'a', and satisfies: 4mm≤a≤6mm. That is, the width 'a' of the movable gap between the second connecting hole and the first connecting member 24 can be set to 4mm, 4.2mm, 4.4mm, 4.6mm, 4.8mm, 5mm, 5.2mm, 5.4mm, 5.6mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, or other values between 4mm and 6mm. In this embodiment, the width 'a' of the movable gap between the second connecting hole and the first connecting member 24 is set to 5mm. Thus, when the first connecting member 24 passes through the second connecting hole, there is an adjustment amount of 2.5mm on one side of the first connecting member 24, which can ensure that the fender 6 has adjustment space along the extension direction of the support plate 21, and ensure the installation reliability of the fender 6.
[0072] In other embodiments, one of the third and fourth connecting holes is configured to have a clearance fit with the second connector 25 and the width of the movable clearance is b, satisfying: 5mm≤b≤7mm.

[0074] Furthermore, the width of the movable gap between the third connecting hole and the second connecting member 25 is b, and satisfies: 5mm≤b≤7mm. That is, the width b of the movable gap between the third connecting hole and the second connecting member 25 can be set to 5mm, 5.2mm, 5.4mm, 5.6mm, 5.8mm, 6mm, 6.2mm, 6.4mm, 6.6mm, 6.8mm, 7mm, or other values between 5mm and 7mm. In this embodiment, the width b of the movable gap between the third connecting hole and the second connecting member 25 is set to 6mm. Thus, when the second connecting member 25 passes through the third connecting hole, there is a 3mm adjustment amount on one side of the second connecting member 25, which can ensure that the fender 6 has adjustment space along the extension direction of the second connecting part 222, and ensure the installation reliability of the fender 6.
[0075] In other embodiments, the front lower mounting bracket 22 includes a first connecting portion 221 and a second connecting portion 222 that are bent and connected together.

A second connecting hole is provided in the first connecting portion 221 and a third connecting hole is provided in the second connecting portion 222.
[0076] Specifically, the mounting bracket 23 is detachably connected to the support plate 21 via the front lower mounting bracket 22, and as... Figure 3 As shown, the front lower mounting bracket 22 is provided with a first connecting part 221 and a second connecting part 222. The first connecting part 221 and the second connecting part 222 are bent and connected together, and the first connecting part 221 is connected to the inner side of the second connecting part 222, so that the second connecting part 222 is connected to the upper part of the first connecting part 221 and extends away from the first connecting part 221. The first connecting part 221 extends vertically and is parallel to the support plate 21. A second connecting hole is provided in the first connecting part 221, so that the front lower mounting bracket 22 can be connected to the support plate 21 through the first connecting part 221, ensuring the fit between the first connecting part 221 and the support plate 21, thereby ensuring the reliability of the support plate 21's support for the first connecting part 221.
[0077] Furthermore, the second connecting part 222 is connected above the first connecting part 221, and the third connecting hole is provided on the second connecting part 222, so that the mounting bracket 23 can be connected above the front lower mounting bracket 22 and disposed outward, so that the mounting bracket 23 can be spaced apart from the support plate 21, thereby separating the fender 6 from the mounting bracket 23 and ensuring the reliability of the fender 6.
