For example, on some vehicles that often run on uneven rural roads, bridges, tunnels and slopes, the bumper can be moved upward compared with before through the adjustment between the first adjusting part and the second adjusting part, so as to reduce the risk of bumper scratches with the ground.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bumper adjustment, and more particularly to an adjustment device, a front-end device, and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Trucks are widely used in logistics, transportation, and urban construction due to their high load-bearing capacity and adaptability. In actual use, light trucks often need to operate in various complex road conditions, such as uneven rural roads, bridges, tunnels, and slopes, while the vehicle's load also varies. Traditional front bumper assemblies are usually fixed structures and cannot be adjusted in height or angle according to vehicle load or road conditions. This can lead to situations where the bumper may not effectively protect the front of the vehicle, or its excessive height may impede passability, reducing driving efficiency and safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an adjustment device, a front-end device, and a vehicle to address some or all of the shortcomings in the related art.

[0004] According to a first aspect of the embodiments of this application, an adjustment device is provided, the adjustment device comprising:

[0005] The first adjustment part is fixed to the bumper;

[0006] The second adjustment part is fixed to the vehicle body and is movably connected to the first adjustment part;

[0007] The bumper is fixed to the vehicle body via the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part.

[0008] As described above, since both the first and second adjusting parts move vertically and laterally, this application can adjust the relative positions between the first and second adjusting parts to achieve a change in the position between the bumper and the vehicle body. For example, on vehicles that frequently travel on uneven rural roads, bridges, tunnels, and slopes, the adjustment between the first and second adjusting parts can move the bumper upwards compared to before, thereby reducing the risk of the bumper scraping against the ground.

[0009] Furthermore, since both the first and second adjustment parts are rotatable, the bumper can be rotated along a certain axis during installation, thereby making it fit more closely to the vehicle body or maintaining a relatively consistent distance, thus making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first adjustment part includes a first fixing unit and a first connecting unit connected to each other, and the second adjustment part includes a second fixing unit and a second connecting unit connected to each other.

[0011] The first fixing unit is fixed to the bumper, the second fixing unit is fixed to the vehicle body, and the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are connected together.

[0012] As described above, the first and second adjustment parts are each equipped with a first fixing unit fixed to the bumper and a second fixing unit connected to the vehicle body. They also include a first connecting unit and a second connecting unit that are interconnected and fixed to each other. That is, the position of the bumper and the vehicle body can be adjusted simply by adjusting the fixing positions of the first and second connecting units.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are arranged in parallel to each other.

[0014] As shown above, the parallel arrangement of the first and second connecting units facilitates their close fit. This design allows for a more secure fixation of the first and second connecting units, and also makes rotation and movement between them easier.

[0015] In some embodiments, the included angle between the first fixing unit and the first connecting unit is set as the first included angle, and the included angle between the second fixing unit and the second connecting unit is set as the second included angle, wherein the first included angle and the second included angle are set to be equal.

[0016] As set up above, the first included angle is the same as the second included angle, meaning that when the first fixing unit and the bumper are fixed, and the second fixing unit is fixed to the vehicle body, the first fixing unit and the second fixing unit are parallel to each other. At this time, the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit are parallel to each other.

[0017] This means that, with the above configuration, on the one hand, the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit can be fixed more securely, and on the other hand, it also makes it easier for the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit to rotate and move relative to each other.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first adjustment portion includes a reinforcing rib, which is disposed between the first fixing unit and the first connecting unit, and the reinforcing rib is disposed away from the second adjustment portion;

[0019] And / or,

[0020] The second adjustment part includes a reinforcing rib, which is disposed between the second fixing unit and the second connecting unit, and the reinforcing rib is disposed away from the first adjustment part.

[0021] As described above, the first fixing unit, the first connecting unit, the second fixing unit, and the second connecting unit can be more effectively fixed together using reinforcing ribs, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the first or second adjusting part. When the bumper is impacted, it can provide excellent support.

[0022] In some embodiments, the adjusting device includes a fixing bolt, the first connecting unit is provided with a first through hole, the second connecting unit is provided with a second through hole, and the fixing bolt fixes the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit through the first through hole and the second through hole;

[0023] The first connecting unit and the second connecting unit can rotate around the fixing bolt to achieve relative movement.

[0024] As configured above, the fixing bolt can fix the first adjusting part and the second adjusting part together through the first through hole and the second through hole. At the same time, the first adjusting part and the second adjusting part can also rotate relative to each other when the fixing bolt is not tightened.

[0025] In some embodiments, along the length direction, the length of the first perforation is greater than the length of the second perforation, or the length of the second perforation is greater than the length of the first perforation, and the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit can move relative to each other along the length direction;

[0026] And / or,

[0027] Along the height direction, the length of the first perforation is greater than the length of the second perforation, or the length of the second perforation is greater than the length of the first perforation, and the first connecting unit and the second connecting unit can move relative to each other along the height direction.

[0028] As described above, since the first and second through holes are located at different heights, the bumper can be moved vertically by pulling the first and second adjusting parts along the height direction when it is not fully secured with the fixing bolts. Similarly, since the first and second through holes are located at different lengths, the bumper can be moved longitudinally by pulling the first and second adjusting parts along the length direction when it is not fully secured with the fixing bolts.

[0029] In some embodiments, the adjustment device includes a rotary motor, which is used to connect to the first adjustment part or the second adjustment part and to drive the first adjustment part and the second adjustment part to rotate relative to each other.

[0030] And / or,

[0031] The adjustment device includes a drive motor, which is used to connect to the first adjustment part or the second adjustment part, and the drive motor can drive the second adjustment part to move in a straight line along the length direction.

[0032] As configured above, the rotating motor allows the first or second adjustment part to rotate relative to each other. This rotating motor facilitates a better fit between the bumper and the vehicle body during installation. It can also be integrated with sensors in the vehicle. For example, if an obstacle is detected on the road during vehicle operation that could potentially collide with the bumper, the rotating motor can be used to raise the bottom of the bumper, thus preventing a collision.

[0033] The drive motor here controls the distance between the bumper and the vehicle body. Similarly, this allows for a better fit between the bumper and the vehicle body during installation. Furthermore, when the front-end assembly needs to be tilted, the bumper can be moved forward to create a distance between it and the front-end assembly, preventing a collision with the inside of the bumper when the front-end assembly tilts.

[0034] According to a second aspect of the embodiments of this application, a vehicle front device is provided, the vehicle front device including an adjustment device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0035] According to a third aspect of the embodiments of this application, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle including an adjustment device as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0036] The beneficial technical effects of the technical solutions provided in this application are:

[0037] The adjustment device includes a first adjustment part and a second adjustment part. The first adjustment part is fixed to the bumper, and the second adjustment part is fixed to the vehicle body, with the second adjustment part and the first adjustment part being movably connected. The bumper is fixed to the vehicle body via the first and second adjustment parts.

[0038] Based on the above configuration, since both the first and second adjusting parts move vertically and laterally, this application can adjust the relative positions between the first and second adjusting parts to achieve positional changes between the bumper and the vehicle body. Furthermore, since both the first and second adjusting parts are rotatable, the bumper can be rotated along a certain axis during installation, allowing it to fit more closely to the vehicle body or maintain a relatively consistent distance, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0039] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0062] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0063] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0064] Trucks are widely used in logistics, transportation, and urban construction due to their high load-bearing capacity and adaptability. In actual use, light trucks often need to operate in various complex road conditions, such as uneven rural roads, bridges, tunnels, and slopes, while the vehicle's load also varies. Traditional front bumper assemblies are usually fixed structures and cannot be adjusted in height or angle according to vehicle load or road conditions. This can lead to situations where the bumper may not effectively protect the front of the vehicle, or its excessive height may impede passability, reducing driving efficiency and safety.

[0065] This application provides an adjustment device 100, with reference to... Figures 1-4As shown, the adjustment device 100 includes a first adjustment part 110 and a second adjustment part 120. The first adjustment part 110 is fixed to the bumper 200, and the second adjustment part 120 is fixed to the vehicle body 300, with the second adjustment part 120 movably connected to the first adjustment part 110. The bumper 200 is fixed to the vehicle body 300 via the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120.

[0066] It should be noted that the movable connection here includes the vertical and horizontal movement of both the first adjusting part 110 and the second adjusting part 120. It also includes the rotatable movement of both the first adjusting part 110 and the second adjusting part 120.

[0067] Based on the above configuration, since both the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 move in the vertical and horizontal directions, this application can adjust the relative position between the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 to achieve a change in the position between the bumper 200 and the vehicle body 300. For example, on vehicles that frequently travel on uneven rural roads, bridges, tunnels, and slopes, the adjustment between the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 can move the bumper 200 upwards compared to before, thereby reducing the risk of the bumper 200 scraping against the ground.

[0068] Furthermore, since both the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 are rotatable, when installing the bumper 200, the bumper 200 can be rotated along a certain axis, thereby making it fit more closely to the vehicle body 300, or maintaining a relatively consistent distance, thus making it more aesthetically pleasing.

[0069] In one embodiment, reference Figures 1-4 As shown, the first adjustment part 110 includes a first fixing unit 111 and a first connecting unit 112 connected to each other, and the second adjustment part 120 includes a second fixing unit 121 and a second connecting unit 122 connected to each other. The first fixing unit 111 is fixed to the bumper 200, the second fixing unit 121 is fixed to the vehicle body 300, and the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 are connected to each other.

[0070] Based on the above configuration, the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 are respectively provided with a first fixing unit 111 fixed to the bumper 200 and a second fixing unit 121 connected to the vehicle body 300. They are also provided with a first connecting unit 112 and a second connecting unit 122 that are connected and fixed to each other. That is, the positions of the bumper 200 and the vehicle body 300 can be adjusted simply by adjusting the fixing positions of the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122.

[0071] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4As shown, the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 are arranged in parallel to each other.

[0072] The first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 are parallel to each other, which facilitates their close fit. Based on this, on the one hand, it makes it easier to fix the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 more firmly, and on the other hand, it makes it easier for the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 to rotate and move relative to each other.

[0073] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, the angle between the first fixing unit 111 and the first connecting unit 112 is the first angle, and the angle between the second fixing unit 121 and the second connecting unit 122 is the second angle. The first angle and the second angle are set to be equal.

[0074] Similarly, the first included angle is the same as the second included angle, which means that when the first fixing unit 111 and the bumper 200 are fixed, and the second fixing unit 121 is fixed to the vehicle body 300, the first fixing unit 111 and the second fixing unit 121 are parallel to each other. At this time, the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 are parallel to each other.

[0075] This means that, with the above configuration, on the one hand, the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 can be fixed more firmly, and on the other hand, it also makes it easier for the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 to rotate and move relative to each other.

[0076] Furthermore, since the first included angle and the second included angle are set to be equal, it means that the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 can be set to be basically the same. That is, the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 can be produced using the same tool, thereby reducing production costs.

[0077] For example, the first included angle and the second included angle can be set to 50°, 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, 120°, or 130°.

[0078] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, the first adjustment part 110 includes a reinforcing rib 130, which is disposed between the first fixing unit 111 and the first connecting unit 112, and the reinforcing rib 130 is disposed away from the second adjustment part 120. Alternatively, the second adjustment part 120 includes a reinforcing rib 130, which is disposed between the second fixing unit 121 and the second connecting unit 122, and the reinforcing rib 130 is disposed away from the first adjustment part 110.

[0079] Based on the above configuration, the first fixing unit 111, the first connecting unit 112, the second fixing unit 121, and the second connecting unit 122 can be better fixed together by the reinforcing rib 130, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the first adjusting part 110 or the second adjusting part 120. When the bumper 200 is impacted, it can provide good support for the bumper 200.

[0080] Of course, in other embodiments, the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 may be provided with reinforcing ribs 130 simultaneously. The effects of this will not be elaborated in this application.

[0081] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, the adjustment device 100 includes a fixing bolt (not shown in the figure), a first connecting unit 112 is provided with a first through hole 150, and a second connecting unit 122 is provided with a second through hole 160. The fixing bolt fixes the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 through the first through hole 150 and the second through hole 160.

[0082] The first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 can rotate around the fixing bolt to achieve relative movement.

[0083] Based on the above configuration, the fixing bolt can fix the first adjusting part 110 and the second adjusting part 120 together through the first through hole 150 and the second through hole 160. At the same time, the first adjusting part 110 and the second adjusting part 120 can also rotate relative to each other when the fixing bolt is not tightened.

[0084] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, along the length direction, the length of the first perforation 150 is greater than the length of the second perforation 160, or the length of the second perforation 160 is greater than the length of the first perforation 150, and the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 can move relative to each other along the length direction. It should be noted that the length direction here refers to the length direction of the vehicle.

[0085] Since the first perforation 150 and the second perforation 160 are different in the length direction, when the fixing bolts are not fully fixed, the bumper 200 can be moved in the length direction by pulling the first adjusting part 110 and the second adjusting part 120 along the length direction.

[0086] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, along the height direction, the length of the first perforation 150 is greater than the length of the second perforation 160, or the length of the second perforation 160 is greater than the length of the first perforation 150, and the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 can move relative to each other along the height direction.

[0087] Since the first perforation 150 and the second perforation 160 are different in the height direction, when the fixing bolts are not fully fixed, the bumper 200 can be moved in the height direction by pulling the first adjusting part 110 and the second adjusting part 120 along the height direction.

[0088] In another embodiment, along the length direction, the length of the first through hole 150 is greater than the length of the second through hole 160, or the length of the second through hole 160 is greater than the length of the first through hole 150, allowing the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 to move relative to each other along the length direction. Along the height direction, the length of the first through hole 150 is greater than the length of the second through hole 160, or the length of the second through hole 160 is greater than the length of the first through hole 150, allowing the first connecting unit 112 and the second connecting unit 122 to move relative to each other along the height direction. Both situations exist simultaneously. For specific effects, please refer to the above embodiments; this embodiment will not elaborate further.

[0089] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, the adjustment device 100 includes a rotary motor 400, which is used to connect to the first adjustment part 110 or the second adjustment part 120 and to drive the first adjustment part 110 and the second adjustment part 120 to rotate relative to each other.

[0090] The rotating motor 400 here allows the first adjusting part 110 or the second adjusting part 120 to rotate relative to each other. This rotating motor 400 allows for better alignment between the bumper 200 and the vehicle body 300 during installation. It can also be integrated with sensors in the vehicle. For example, if an obstacle is detected on the road during vehicle operation that is likely to collide with the bumper 200, the rotating motor 400 can be used to rotate the bumper 200, causing the lower part of the bumper 200 to lift up, thus preventing a collision with the obstacle.

[0091] In one embodiment, reference Figures 2-4 As shown, the adjustment device 100 includes a drive motor 500, which is used to connect to the first adjustment part 110 or the second adjustment part 120, and the drive motor 500 can drive the second adjustment part 120 to move in a straight line along the length direction.

[0092] The drive motor 500 here can control the distance between the bumper 200 and the vehicle body 300. Similarly, this allows for a better fit between the bumper 200 and the vehicle body 300 during installation. On the other hand, refer to... Figure 5 As shown, when the front-end device 600 is to be flipped, the bumper 200 can be moved forward, thus creating a distance between it and the front-end device 600, so that the front-end device 600 will not collide with the inside of the bumper 200 when it is flipped.

[0093] In one embodiment, reference Figure 4 As shown, the rotating motor 400 and the driving motor 500 can be simultaneously mounted on the adjusting device 100 to achieve a synergistic effect.

[0094] This application also proposes a vehicle head assembly 600, which includes an adjustment device 100 as shown in the above embodiments.

[0095] This application also proposes a vehicle that includes the adjustment device 100 described in any of the preceding claims.

[0096] The vehicle can be a car, truck, van, SUV, or any other type of vehicle equipped with a battery. In one embodiment, the vehicle is a high-voltage traction battery-powered electric vehicle (e.g., a battery electric vehicle (BEV), a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV), a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), etc.). In another embodiment, the vehicle is an autonomous vehicle, wherein the vehicle's maneuverability is controlled without direct input from a human driver.

[0097] It should be noted that the technical solutions or features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of this application is not limited to the precise structures described in the above embodiments and shown in the accompanying drawings; all modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
