[0045] The front grille of the vehicle, as the name implies, is located at the front of the entire vehicle body to form the front appearance structure of the vehicle. In the related art, due to the limitation of cost, process, space on the material and structure of the front grille, the front grille used in the current vehicle is basically a plastic part with low cost. The plastic part is generally connected with the front bumper by buckling, and the connection between each structure of the front grille is realized by bolts. The assembly is simple and the required assembly space of the structure is small. However, the plastic part has poor texture and poor hardness. If the material with high hardness and high cost such as stainless steel is used to improve the hardness, the structure and appearance of the entire front grille will be changed, the original assembly structure on the plastic part will be changed and other assembly structures will be added, which will reduce the assembly efficiency and increase the installation difficulty of the entire assembly process. Therefore, the current front grille cannot provide a front grille with low cost and convenient installation.

[0046] Therefore, referring to FIGS. 1-2, the present application provides a front grille assembly 100 applied to a vehicle 1000 and connected with the front bumper of the vehicle 1000. The front grille assembly 100 of the present application not only ensures low cost, but also has simple assembly and improved texture.

[0047] Specifically, referring to FIGS. 2-5, the front grille assembly 100 includes a grille body 10, a first mounting structure 20 and a second mounting structure 30. The grille body 10 is a metal part, and the grille body 10 has an appearance surface 11 and a connecting surface 12. The appearance surface 11 is located on the outer side of the connecting surface 12, that is, the outer side of the head of the vehicle 1000. The first mounting structure 20 is connected with one side of the connecting surface 12. The second mounting structure 30 includes a mounting structure body 30a, and the mounting structure body 30a is connected with one side of the connecting surface 12. The mounting structure body 30a is a plastic part, and the first mounting structure 20 and the second mounting structure 30 are connected with the front bumper in different directions.

[0048] The grille body 10 can be arranged and connected by a plurality of grille intervals, a gap is formed between every two grilles, the grille body 10 can also be formed by a panel with a plurality of long strip-shaped openings, when standing in front of the vehicle 1000, the appearance surface 11 of the grille body 10 can be seen, therefore, the grille body 10 is the visible area of the appearance of the vehicle 1000, which is made of metal material to form a metal piece, thereby improving the quality of the front grille assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000, so that the appearance flatness and hardness of the front grille assembly 100 of the vehicle 1000 are improved, specifically, the grille body 10 can be made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy, painted iron, steel and the like.

[0049] It can be understood that the metal piece adopted by the grille body 10 has certain wear resistance and corrosion resistance, and will not be oxidized or corroded when being in the air environment or rainwater soaking environment for a long time. The metal piece can be made by forging method, casting method and the like, specifically, the forging method is to pre-forged metal material and pressurized by a forging press to shape the alloy material. The casting method is to fill liquid metal by gravity under normal pressure.

[0050] In addition, a connecting surface 12 is formed on the side of the grille body 10 facing away from the outside of the vehicle, which is used to form the mounting position of the first mounting structure 20 and the second mounting structure 30. The first mounting structure 20 is connected with one side of the connecting surface 12 and directly connected with the grille body 10. Generally, the first mounting structure 20 is connected with the grille body 10 along the direction intersecting the longitudinal extension direction of the grille of the grille body 10, so that the structure of the grille body 10 is simple, and there is no need to reserve space and structure to connect with the front bumper, which is convenient to install.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first mounting structure 20 can be a plastic piece or a metal piece, when it is made of different materials, the connection mode with the grille body 10 is also different, which will be described below.

[0052] The mounting structure body 30a of the second mounting structure 30 is used to support the grille body 10, which is connected with the grille body 10 through later assembly, and is used to support the grille body 10 and improve the structural strength of the grille body 10 to form the skeleton structure of the grille body 10. The second mounting structure 30 is connected with the grille body 10 along the longitudinal extension direction of the grille of the grille body 10, thereby supporting the grille body 10. Since it does not affect the appearance quality of the front grille assembly 100, the mounting structure body 30a is a plastic piece, thereby making the mounting structure body 30a retain the plastic mounting structure suitable for mass production, and the plastic piece has low cost and is convenient to install, and the mounting structure body 30a does not need to be recast, only the connection between the mounting structure body 30a and the metal piece needs to be considered.

[0053] Therefore, the front grille assembly 100 provided by the application is assembled on the front bumper through the first mounting structure 20 and the second mounting structure 30, and the first mounting structure 20 and the second mounting structure 30 are connected with the front bumper in different directions, so as to ensure the stability of the connection between the front grille assembly 100 and the front bumper. In addition, the grille body 10 is made of a metal piece, the mounting structure body 30a is made of a plastic piece, and the first mounting structure 20 is arranged, so as to form a composite structure. The composite structure can ensure the quality and strength of the front grille assembly 100 through the grille body 10, and the grille body 10 is easy to install and has low manufacturing cost. The front grille assembly 100 does not need to be made of a metal piece as a whole, which brings the pain points of high cost and difficult assembly. In addition, the front grille assembly 100 does not need to be made of a plastic piece as a whole, which brings the pain points of poor quality and low hardness.

[0054] In one of the embodiments, the mounting structure body 30a includes the first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32, and the first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 are plastic pieces. The first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 extend along the first direction L1, and the first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 are arranged at intervals along the second direction L2. The first direction L1 intersects the second direction L2.

[0055] The first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 can be made of the same plastic mold, so that the plastic mold of the first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 forms a parts library, thereby improving the universality and reducing the cost. The first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 can be prepared at the same time through the same mold. The first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 are connected with the grille body 10 at different positions in the second direction L2, thereby forming multi-position support.

[0056] Specifically, the mounting structure body 30a is formed into the first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32. The first mounting piece 31 itself extends along the first direction L1 to support the grille body 10 along the first direction L1. Similarly, the second mounting piece 32 itself extends along the first direction L1 to support the grille body 10 along the first direction L1. In addition, the first mounting piece 31 and the second mounting piece 32 are arranged at intervals along the second direction L2, thereby supporting the grille body 10 along the second direction L2 in multiple positions, so as to improve the support strength of the mounting structure body 30a to the grille body 10.

[0057] Therefore, the front grille assembly 100 provided by the application further enhances the hardness of the front grille assembly 100 through the mounting structure body 30a after the grille body 10 is made of a metal piece with high hardness.

[0058] In one of the embodiments, the second mounting structure 30 comprises a second connecting part 33 and a third connecting part 34, the second connecting part 33 is arranged on the first mounting member 31, the first mounting member 31 is connected with the front bumper through the second connecting part 33, the third connecting part 34 is arranged on the second mounting member 32, the second mounting member 32 is connected with the front bumper through the third connecting part 34, and the second connecting part 33 and the third connecting part 34 are both metal members.

[0059] It can be understood that the hardness and density of the plastic member and the metal member are different, and therefore, if the connection between the plastic member and the metal member is directly implemented, stress concentration or connection fracture problem of the connection position of the first mounting member 31 to the grille body 10 can be caused, and therefore, in order to ensure the connection strength of the first mounting member 31 and the grille body 10 and the second mounting member 32 and the grille body 10, the second connecting part 33 of metal is arranged on the first mounting member 31, the third connecting part 34 of metal is arranged on the second mounting member 32, the connection between the metal and the metal is implemented through the connection of the second connecting part 33 and the grille body 10 and the connection of the third connecting part 34 and the grille body 10, and the strength is ensured.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first mounting member 31 is connected with the grille body 10 through the second connecting part 33, and specifically, the second connecting part 33 can be connected with the grille body 10 through laser brazing or fusion welding, and similarly, the second mounting member 32 is connected with the grille body 10 through the third connecting part 34, and specifically, the third connecting part 34 can be connected with the grille body 10 through laser brazing or fusion welding.

[0061] Laser brazing is a brazing technology that uses laser as a heat source to heat the filler metal to melt, and laser brazing has the advantages of high automation degree, high productivity, automatic production, energy saving and environmental protection, etc., and in the welding process, the parts to be welded can be positioned and calibrated to improve the precision and quality of the workpiece, and the surface quality can be improved and the production efficiency can be improved. Fusion welding refers to a method of welding in which the welded joint is brought to a molten state under the action of high temperature and the like during the welding process, for example, after the connecting surface 12 of the second connecting part 33 and the grille body 10 is tightly attached together, under the action of temperature field, gravity and the like, without pressure, the molten solution on the side of the connecting surface 12 of the second connecting part 33 and the grille body 10 will be mixed. After the temperature decreases, the molten part coagulates, and the connecting surface 12 of the second connecting part 33 and the grille body 10 is firmly welded together, and the welding is completed.

[0062] In this way, through laser brazing or fusion welding, the connection of the second connecting part 33 and the grille body 10 and the third connecting part 34 and the grille body 10 is implemented, that is, the connection of the first mounting member 31 and the grille body 10 and the connection of the second mounting member 32 and the grille body 10 are implemented, so that the connection of the mounting structure body 30a and the grille body 10 is simple, and no additional connection space needs to be arranged.

[0063] In one embodiment, the second connecting portion 33 is configured to be embedded when the first mounting member 31 is cast, and / or the third connecting portion 34 is configured to be embedded when the second mounting member 32 is cast. Taking the first mounting member 31 as an example, the second connecting portion 33 is integrated or embedded into the first mounting member 31 at the same time when the first mounting member 31 is injection molded, thereby ensuring the connection stability and integrity between the second connecting portion 33 and the first mounting member 31, making them form an inseparable whole and without the need for later assembly. The same applies to the second mounting member 32, which will not be described here again.

[0064] It should be noted that precise control and operation need to be performed during the injection molding process of the first mounting member 31 or the second mounting member 32 to ensure that the second connecting portion 33 and the third connecting portion 34 can be correctly embedded into the first mounting member 31 or the second mounting member 32, and will not negatively affect the performance of the first mounting member 31 or the second mounting member 32.

[0065] It can be understood that when the first mounting member 31 and the second mounting member 32 are injection molded by the same mold, the positions of the second connecting portion 33 on the first mounting member 31 and the third connecting portion 34 on the second mounting member 32 are the same.

[0066] In one embodiment, the first mounting structure 20 includes a third mounting member 21 and a fourth mounting member 22 disposed on one side of the connecting surface 12, the third mounting member 21 has a first connecting portion 211 and the third mounting member 21 is connected to the front bumper through the first connecting portion 211, the fourth mounting member 22 has a fourth connecting portion 221, the fourth mounting member 22 is connected to the front bumper through the fourth connecting portion 221, and the fourth mounting member 22 and the third mounting member 21 are spaced apart along the first direction L1, and the fourth mounting member 22 and the third mounting member 21 extend along the second direction L2.
