The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are connected by a bent portion 3. The connection through the bending part 3 forms a complete active air inlet grille installation bracket. The bending part 3 comprises at least one plug hole 4, the first support 1 is provided with a first mounting through hole 5, the second support 2 is provided with a second mounting through hole 6, and the bending part 3 is provided with at least one breaking through hole 7. The mounting bracket is weakened through the arrangement of the broken through holes 7, the weakening effect can be influenced by the number, the shape and other factors of the broken through holes 7, and the active air inlet grille mounting bracket is selected according to the parameters and the use environment of the active air inlet grille in actual operation, so that the active air inlet grille mounting bracket plays a role in protecting pedestrians. The at least one plug hole 4, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are used for fixing the mounting bracket to the vehicle. The arrangement of the plug-in hole 4 is used for achieving the positioning effect, and meanwhile, the active air inlet grille is fixed with the vehicle through the first support 1 and the second support 2, so that the active air inlet grille has the characteristic of low replacement cost.

In the present embodiment, the bent portion 3 includes a first plane 8, a second plane 9, and an intermediate portion 10. The bending part 3 forms two planes and a middle part 10 through two bending parts, so that the collision resistance of the active air inlet grille installation support is also improved, a larger elastic deformation range is obtained in the collision, and the buffering process in the pedestrian protection process is increased.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the first plane 8 is connected to the second plane 9 via the intermediate portion 10, the first plane 8 is connected to the first carrier 1, and the second plane 9 is connected to the second carrier 2. The two supports are connected through the bending part 3 to form a complete active air inlet grille installation support.

In the embodiment of the present application, the broken through holes 7 are located on the bending portion 3, and the positions that can be set include the first plane 8, the second plane 9 and the middle portion 10, and the number, shape and other factors of the broken through holes 7 can also affect the breaking effect. Therefore, various setting schemes of the fracture through holes 7 can be determined by setting variables of different positions, different quantities, even different shapes and the like, and the selection of a specific scheme can be determined according to a specific application scene. Three alternative embodiments of which are described below.

In an alternative embodiment, at least one break-away through hole 7 is located in the first platform. In this solution, the fracture effect is easily insignificant due to the limitation of the active grille shutter frame.

In an alternative embodiment, at least one break-away through hole 7 is located in the intermediate portion 10. In this solution, the broken through-holes 7 in the intermediate portion 10 are more likely to break when the active grille is impacted, and the active grille support can better meet the pedestrian protection requirements.

In another alternative embodiment, the at least one break-away through hole 7 is located in the second platform. In the scheme, the fracture through hole 7 cannot be immediately fractured when the active air inlet grille is collided, and the support still has certain rigidity and can play a role in buffering.

In the present exemplary embodiment, a plug-in hole 4 is provided in the central part 10, which plug-in hole 4 is used for fastening to the active grille shutter frame. The plug hole 4 is fixed with the plug part 11 in the frame of the active air intake grille, so that the whole bracket can be fixed. Meanwhile, one end, far away from the bending part 3, of the first support 1 is provided with an inserting part 11, and the inserting part 11 is used for being connected with an inserting hole 4 in the active air inlet grille framework. The independently arranged plug hole 4 is easy to turn when the bracket is installed, so that the plug part 11 is arranged to prevent the bracket from turning when the bracket is installed, and the plug part 11 and the plug hole 4 are arranged to prevent the bracket from moving and turning in the using process.

In the present embodiment, the first mounting through-hole 5 is used to fix the intake grill to the mounting bracket, and the second mounting through-hole 6 is used to fix the mounting bracket to the vehicle. The frame of the active air inlet grille can be separated from the frame of the active air inlet grille in the installation and replacement process by arranging the mounting holes on the support, and the frame does not need to be completely replaced in the replacement and maintenance process, so that the replacement and maintenance cost is greatly reduced, the maintenance time is saved, and social resources are saved.

Based on the above, several embodiments are described below.

please refer to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of embodiment 1 of the present application. In example 1, the two fracture through holes 7 are provided in the intermediate portion 10 in parallel with the mating portion 11, and the cross section is rectangular. The active grille shutter mounting bracket connects the active grille shutter frame and the vehicle by means of threaded connection. In embodiment 1, the broken through-hole 7 provided in the intermediate portion 10 has a large weakening effect, and can play a greater role in the need of pedestrian protection. After the pedestrian collides with the active air-inlet grille, the active air-inlet grille mounting bracket is broken, so that the active air-inlet grille framework falls off, and the function of protecting the pedestrian is fulfilled.

Example 2:

please refer to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of embodiment 2 of the present application. In embodiment 2, the broken through holes 7 are provided on the second plane 9, and the number of the broken through holes 7 is four, and the cross section is rectangular. The active grille shutter mounting bracket connects the active grille shutter frame and the vehicle by means of threaded connection. In this embodiment 2, set up in fracture through-hole 7 of second plane 9 can not break off at once when bumping into, after pedestrian bumps with the initiative air-inlet grille, certain deformation formation cushioning effect can take place for the initiative air-inlet grille installing support, breaks off after 7 atresss of fracture through-hole, makes the initiative air-inlet grille frame drop to accomplish pedestrian's function of protecting.

The above description is only exemplary of the present application and should not be taken as limiting the present application, as any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
