Therefore, the prior art also has a 3 rd radar installation mode, which installs a radar on a bracket, and then installs the bracket at the lower end of a front anti-collision beam of a vehicle, and although the radar is not easily damaged, due to insufficient clearance reserved between the bracket and a vehicle component behind the bracket (such as a cooling module or an active air intake grille), the bracket is forced to move backwards and touch and damage the cooling module or the active air intake grille when a collision occurs.

Detailed Description

The following detailed description of embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating the present application, are given by way of illustration and explanation only, and are not intended to limit the present application.

As shown in fig. 1 to 5, a bracket for mounting a radar of the present application (hereinafter, referred to as a bracket) includes a mounting plate 110, a transition plate 120, a buffering mechanism, and a reinforcing rib 140; the mounting plate 110 is configured for connection with a front impact beam of a vehicle; the transition plate 120 is vertically connected to the mounting plate 110; the buffer mechanism is arranged at one end, far away from the mounting plate 110, of the transition plate 120 and forms an included angle with the transition plate 120, one side, far away from the transition plate 120, of the buffer mechanism is a mounting surface for mounting the radar 200, the mounting surface is parallel to the mounting plate 110, and the mounting surface is provided with a mounting hole 134 for mounting the radar 200; the reinforcing ribs 140 are arranged at the connection position of the buffer mechanism and the transition plate 120 and are positioned on one side of the transition plate 120 far away from the mounting plate 110; wherein the buffer mechanism is configured to: when the side where the mounting hole 134 is provided is collided, the rib 140 can be rotated in a direction approaching the mounting plate 110 as a rotation axis.

In the present application, when the bracket is mounted to the front impact beam of the vehicle, as shown in fig. 4, the mounting plate 110 is connected to the front impact beam in a form perpendicular to the ground, and at this time, since the mounting surface of the buffer mechanism is parallel to the mounting plate 110, the radar 200 mounted to the mounting surface is also in a form perpendicular to the ground, and since the transition plate 120 exists between the buffer mechanism and the mounting plate 110, the horizontal distance between the buffer mechanism and the mounting plate 110 is increased by at least the width distance of the transition plate 120, so that the buffer mechanism is farther from other components of the vehicle (for example, a first component 400 described below). When the radar 200 is collided, as shown in fig. 5, due to the existence of the transition plate 120, when the collision force is transmitted to the buffer mechanism, the buffer mechanism rotates in the direction approaching the mounting plate 110 by using the reinforcing rib 140 as a rotating shaft, that is, the buffer mechanism rotates relative to the transition plate 120, and at this time, the mounting plate 110 and the transition plate 120 do not rotate or only slightly rotate, so that the displacement of the buffer mechanism in the horizontal direction due to the rotation cannot reach the first component 400 of the vehicle, and the first component 400 can be prevented from being collided.

In order to improve the overall structural strength of the bracket and to allow the buffer mechanism to stably rotate around the reinforcing bars 140 when a collision occurs, in one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 1, the number of the reinforcing bars 140 is two, and the two reinforcing bars 140 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the transition plate 120.

Since the horizontal displacement of the cushion mechanism can be effectively reduced if the cushion mechanism can absorb the collision force as much as possible when the cushion mechanism is collided, in one embodiment of the present application, the inside of the cushion mechanism is provided with the cavity 135, which allows the cushion mechanism to be deformed when the cushion mechanism is collided, thereby effectively absorbing the collision force.

It should be understood that the cushioning mechanism may be designed in a variety of forms so long as it is effective in providing cushioning. For example, the cushioning mechanism may be a hollow rectangular parallelepiped structure, the surface of which is recessed into the interior cavity 135 to deform when it is impacted, thereby effectively absorbing the impact force. Because the support of this application can be directly connected in the lower extreme of the preceding crashproof roof beam of vehicle, therefore, the striking that the support probably received all comes from the place ahead of vehicle, just the place ahead of support, and hardly receive the striking from the vehicle both sides, in this case, in order to reduce the weight of support as far as possible under the prerequisite of guaranteeing effectively to provide the buffering, reduce its cost, in an embodiment of this application, buffer gear adopts following form: the buffer mechanism comprises a first plate 131 and a second plate 132, one end of the first plate 131 is connected with the transition plate 120, the second plate 132 is parallel to the mounting plate 110 and is provided with a mounting hole 134, and the cavity 135 is positioned between the first plate 131 and the second plate 132; since the bracket is hardly subjected to an impact from both sides of the vehicle, both sides of the cushion mechanism in the length direction of the second plate 132 can be designed to be open, which does not affect the cushion performance provided by the bracket when the bracket is subjected to an impact from the front of the vehicle.

In order to further improve the buffering performance of the buffering mechanism, in one embodiment of the present application, a side of the buffering mechanism adjacent to the transition plate 120 is open, and thus, when the second plate 132 is collided, one end of the second plate 132 adjacent to the transition plate 120 can move toward the first plate 131, thereby more effectively providing the buffering performance.

It should be appreciated that in the above embodiments, the first plate 131 and the second plate 132 can collectively form a variety of forms, for example, an end of the first plate 131 distal from the transition plate 120 is directly connected to an end of the second plate 132 distal from the transition plate 120, thereby providing the cushioning mechanism with an approximately V-shaped cross-section. In one embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the buffering mechanism includes a connecting plate 133, and an end of the first plate 131 far from the transition plate 120 and an end of the second plate 132 far from the transition plate 120 are connected to each other through the connecting plate 133 to make the cross section of the buffering mechanism have a U-shape, which can provide a larger buffering space, thereby improving buffering performance.

To further improve the cushioning properties of the cushioning mechanism, in one embodiment of the present application, the cushioning mechanism includes a flexible cushioning member disposed in the cavity 135.

The application also provides a radar component, the radar component comprises the radar 200 and the support, and the radar 200 is connected to the buffer mechanism of the support.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, the application also provides a vehicle body structure including a front impact beam 300, a first assembly 400, and the radar assembly described above; the mounting plate 110 of the radar assembly is connected to the front impact beam 300, the first assembly 400 is spaced apart from the radar assembly and located on a side of the radar assembly facing away from the radar 200, the first assembly 400 includes a cooling module and/or an active grille.

As shown in fig. 4, the second plate 132 of the buffer mechanism of the bracket is parallel to the mounting plate 110 when not being collided, so that the radar 200 can be maintained in a state of being perpendicular to the ground when being mounted on the second plate 132. The first plate 131 of the cushioning mechanism is spaced from the first assembly 400 by at least the width of the transition plate 120.

As shown in fig. 5, when a collision from the front of the vehicle is received (i.e., in a direction from left to right in fig. 5), since the side of the buffer mechanism near the transition plate 120 is open, one end (i.e., the upper end in fig. 5) of the second plate 132 near the transition plate 120 can move toward the first plate 131 (i.e., the second plate 132 rotates clockwise in fig. 5), so that the buffer mechanism is deformed, effectively providing a buffer. Meanwhile, the entire buffer mechanism rotates counterclockwise in fig. 5 about the reinforcing rib 140 under the impact force, and due to the transition plate 120, one end (i.e., the lower end in fig. 5) of the first plate 131 far from the transition plate 120 does not touch the first component 400, thereby preventing the first component 400 from being damaged. Of course, in the above process, the mounting plate 110 of the bracket is also rotated counterclockwise in fig. 5 by the impact force, but since most of the impact force is absorbed by the buffer mechanism, the rotation angle of the mounting plate 110 is very small, and it is still ensured that the end of the first plate 131 far from the transition plate 120 does not contact the first assembly 400.

The application also provides a vehicle comprising the vehicle body structure.

The vehicle and the vehicle body structure have the same advantages compared with the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.

The preferred embodiments of the present application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited thereto. Within the scope of the technical idea of the present application, various simple modifications may be made to the technical solution of the present application, and in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, various possible combinations are not separately described in the present application. These simple modifications and combinations should also be considered as disclosed in the present application, and all fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
