Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive grilles, and in particular to a modular quick-release replacement structure for automotive grilles. Background Technology

[0002] As an important part of the front of a car, the car grille is mainly installed at the front of the vehicle body to protect the radiator, condenser and engine compartment components inside the car, while also serving to guide airflow and enhance the aesthetics.

[0003] In terms of structural design, existing automotive grilles typically use a one-piece injection molding process to manufacture the main body of the grille, especially the blades that make up the shape of the grille, or to permanently fix the various components together to form a whole assembly.

[0004] While this integrated structure is convenient to manufacture, it has revealed significant shortcomings in actual use. As a wind-facing component, the grille is highly susceptible to impacts from flying stones and debris, or damage from minor scrapes and collisions while the car is in motion.

[0005] Because the grille blades are a single integrated structure, even if only a single blade breaks or is damaged, it cannot be replaced locally. During repair, the only solution is to disassemble and replace the entire grille assembly, which not only results in high repair costs but also unnecessary material waste, increasing maintenance costs for car owners. Therefore, this invention proposes a modular quick-release replacement structure for automotive grilles to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a modular quick-release replacement structure for automotive grilles, aiming to improve the problem that in the prior art, the blades of some automotive grilles are usually an integral structure, which means that when a single blade is damaged, the entire grille assembly must be replaced.

[0007] This utility model provides a modular quick-release replacement structure for automotive grilles, including an outer grille panel, a bayonet plate fixed to the outer grille panel, and a blade base plate fixed to the bayonet plate. The structure also includes a modular blade mechanism disposed on the blade base plate. The modular blade mechanism includes a bayonet strip, a fixing base plate, blade strips, and a fixing component. Both the bayonet strip and the fixing base plate are fixed to the inner side of the blade base plate. One end of the blade strip is snapped into the interior of the bayonet strip. The fixing component is disposed on the fixing base plate and is used to releasably lock the other end of the blade strip.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing assembly includes a base, a pull column, a spring, and an anti-detachment ring. The base serves as the mounting base and is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing substrate.

[0009] Preferably, the pull column is movably inserted into the base. The anti-detachment ring is fixed to the rod of the pull column. A spring is fitted onto the pull column, and the two ends of the spring abut against the base and the anti-detachment ring respectively, forming an elastic telescopic structure.

[0010] Preferably, the pull column has a locking end. The locking end is configured to automatically insert into the hole of the blade strip under the elastic force of spring one to achieve locking. When the pull column is pulled by an external force, the anti-disengagement ring compresses spring one, causing the locking end to disengage from the hole, thereby releasing the lock.

[0011] Preferably, the modular quick-release replacement structure for the automotive grille also includes a filter plate and a quick-release mechanism. The quick-release mechanism is used to achieve a releasable connection between the filter plate and the outer grille panel, facilitating the cleaning or replacement of the filter plate.

[0012] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism includes a housing, a beaded ring, steel balls, a pushing ring, and a pressing post. The housing is fixed to the inner side of the outer panel of the grille. The beaded ring is detachably fitted into the housing. The filter plate is fixed to the outer wall of the beaded ring and is inserted and removed together with the beaded ring.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the outer casing is provided with an inner groove. The steel ball is movably accommodated inside the bead-locking ring. The actuating ring is fixedly connected to the pressing post and can move axially. The actuating ring has a high position and a low position. When the actuating ring is in the locked position, its high position pushes the steel ball out and engages it in the inner groove; when the actuating ring moves to the unlocked position under external pressure, the steel ball retracts to the low position and disengages from the inner groove.

[0014] Preferably, the quick-release mechanism further includes a second spring. The second spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the pressing post and abuts against a protrusion on the pressing post. The second spring provides a restoring force, automatically pushing the pressing post and the actuating ring back to the locked position after the pressing action is completed.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model, by setting up a modular blade mechanism, uses a bayonet strip to snap and position one end of the blade strip, and uses a fixing component including a pull column and a spring to lock the other end of the blade strip with a spring pin. This solves the problem in the prior art that the entire grid assembly must be replaced after the grid blade strip is damaged, resulting in high maintenance costs and time. It achieves the technical effect of enabling individual blade strips to be quickly inserted and removed and replaced independently, significantly reducing maintenance costs and shortening maintenance time.

[0016] 2. This utility model, by setting up a quick-release mechanism, utilizes a shell fixed to the outer plate of the grille, a beaded buckle ring with a filter plate fixed thereon, and a press-type steel ball lock structure composed of a pressing column, a top moving ring, steel balls, and a spring. This solves the problem in the prior art that the filter plate at the rear of the grille is difficult to disassemble, leading to the accumulation of flying insects and willow catkins and making cleaning and maintenance extremely inconvenient. It achieves the technical effect of tool-free quick disassembly and assembly of the filter plate by simply pressing the pressing column, greatly improving the convenience of daily cleaning and maintenance for users.

[0017] 3. This utility model combines the quick-release structure of the blade strip with the quick-release structure of the filter plate, modularizing the main vulnerable parts and the parts requiring daily maintenance of the automotive grille. This solves the problem of the integrated and rigid functions of the traditional grille structure, achieving a clever and reliable structural design while taking into account both low maintenance costs and high maintenance convenience. It has strong practical value and market competitiveness. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Example Reference Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a modular quick-release replacement structure for automotive grilles, which aims to solve the problems in the prior art where the entire grille needs to be replaced when the blades are damaged, resulting in high maintenance costs, and the rear filter plate 5 of the grille is difficult to disassemble and clean.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes a grid outer panel 1; a bayonet plate 2, which is fixed to the grid outer panel 1; and a blade base plate 6, which is fixed to the bayonet plate 2; as... Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the structure also includes a modular blade mechanism 3 disposed on the blade substrate 6; the modular blade mechanism 3 includes a bayonet strip 31, a fixing substrate 33, a blade strip 32, and a fixing assembly 34; the bayonet strip 31 and the fixing substrate 33 are both fixed to the inner side of the blade substrate 6; one end of the blade strip 32 is engaged inside the bayonet strip 31; the fixing assembly 34 is disposed on the fixing substrate 33 and can releasably lock the other end of the blade strip 32; as shown Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the structure also includes a filter plate 5 and a quick-release mechanism 4; the quick-release mechanism 4 releasably connects the filter plate 5 to the outer grid plate 1.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The fixing assembly 34 includes a base 341, a pull post 342, a spring 343, and an anti-detachment ring 344. The base 341 is fixed to the outer wall of the fixing base plate 33, providing an installation base for the entire fixing assembly 34. The pull post 342 is movably inserted through the base 341 and has a locking end, which is configured to be inserted into the hole of the blade strip 32 under the elastic force of the spring 343 to achieve locking. The anti-detachment ring 344 is fixed to the rod of the pull post 342. The spring 343 is sleeved on the pull post 342, and both ends of the spring 343 abut against the base 341 and the anti-detachment ring 344, respectively. In the assembled state, the spring 343 is in a pre-loaded position. In the compressed state, its elasticity pushes the anti-detachment ring 344 and the pulling post 342, keeping the locking end of the pulling post 342 in the extended and locked position. When it is necessary to remove the blade strip 32, pulling the pulling post 342 will cause the anti-detachment ring 344 to move backward in sync and further compress the spring 343, so that the locking end of the pulling post 342 will exit from the hole of the blade strip 32 and release the lock. The other end of the blade strip 32 is engaged in the bayonet plate 31 through the bayonet structure, so that the blade strip 32 can be easily removed and replaced after the fixing component 34 is unlocked. This matching structure with one end engaged and the other end locked by a spring pin ensures that the replacement process of a single blade strip 32 is simple and quick.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 It also includes a filter plate 5 and a quick-release mechanism 4; the quick-release mechanism 4 is used to releasably connect the filter plate 5 and the outer grid plate 1; the quick-release mechanism 4 includes a housing 41 fixed inside the outer grid plate 1, a beaded ring 42 that is pluggably fitted into the housing 41, a steel ball 43, a push ring 44 and a pressing column 45; the filter plate 5 is fixed to the outer wall of the beaded ring 42 and is installed or removed together with the beaded ring 42.

[0025] Specifically, the inner wall of the outer casing 41 is provided with an inner groove; the steel ball 43 is movably accommodated inside the bead ring 42; the actuating ring 44 is fixedly connected to the pressing post 45 and can move axially; the actuating ring 44 has a high position and a low position; the steel ball 43 is configured such that when the actuating ring 44 is in the locked position, it is pushed out by the high position of the actuating ring 44 and engages in the inner groove of the outer casing 41, thereby locking the bead ring 42 inside the outer casing 41; when the actuating ring 44 is in the unlocked position, the steel ball 43 retracts to the low position of the actuating ring 44 and disengages from the inner groove, thereby unlocking.

[0026] The quick-release mechanism 4 also includes a second spring 46; the second spring 46 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pressing post 45 and abuts against the protrusion of the pressing post 45; the second spring 46 is used to push the pressing post 45 and the actuating ring 44 back to the locked position after the pressing post 45 is pressed.

[0027] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: When the blade strip 32 in the modular blade mechanism 3 is damaged and needs to be replaced, the operator pulls the pulling column 342 of the fixing component 34; the pulling column 342 drives the anti-detachment ring 344 fixed to its rod to move together and compress the spring 343 sleeved on the pulling column 342; the movement causes the locking end of the pulling column 342 to disengage from the hole of the blade strip 32, releasing the lock on the end of the blade strip 32; at this time, the other end of the blade strip 32 can be taken out from the snap-fit ​​structure of the bayonet plate 31 to complete the disassembly; when installing a new blade strip 32, one end of it is snapped into the bayonet plate 31, and the other end is aligned with the fixing component 34 on the fixing base plate 33; the pulling column 342 is released, and the spring 343 pushes the anti-detachment ring 344 and the pulling column 342 to reset under its elastic force, so that the locking end of the pulling column 342 is reinserted into the hole of the new blade strip 32 to achieve quick fixation.

[0028] When the filter plate 5 needs to be disassembled for cleaning or replacement, press the pressing column 45 of the quick-release mechanism 4; the pressing column 45 drives the top moving ring 44, which is fixedly connected to it, to move axially and compress the spring 46 sleeved on the outer wall of the pressing column 45; the top moving ring 44 moves from the locked position to the unlocked position, the high area of ​​the top moving ring 44 moves away, so that the steel ball 43 contained inside the bead ring 42 has space to return to the low area of ​​the top moving ring 44 under its own weight or structural guidance; the steel ball 43 3. Retract inward to disengage from the inner groove on the inner wall of the outer casing 41; at this time, the bead ring 42 with the filter plate 5 fixed can be pulled out from the outer casing 41 fixed on the outer plate 1 of the grid; when reinstalling, push the bead ring 42 into the outer casing 41, the spring 2 46 abuts against the protrusion of the pressing post 45 and pushes the pressing post 45 and the top ring 44 to automatically reset to the locked position, and the high point of the top ring 44 pushes the steel ball 43 outward again, so that it is locked into the inner groove, and the automatic locking is completed.
