发明名称 Motor-vehicle front structure with an improved front-end unit
摘要 A motor-vehicle front structure includes a pair of longitudinal struts having front-ends to which two strut plates are secured. A front cross-member is located forwardly of the strut plates and has ends with two rearwardly facing crash-box plates connected to the front cross-member by two crash-box structures. The crash-box plates are connected to a lower auxiliary cross-member by two respective supports. A front-end unit for supporting one or more auxiliary motor-vehicle components has an upper cross-member and a lower cross-member. The crash-box plates are connected directly to the strut plates. The upper and lower cross-members of the front-end unit are made of elements which are separated from each other. The upper cross-member is connected directly to the crash-box plates, whereas the lower cross-member is connected directly to the supports, through which it is connected to the crash-box plates.

主权项 1. A motor-vehicle front structure, comprising: a pair of longitudinal struts, having front ends to which two strut plates are secured, a front cross-member placed in front of the strut plates and having ends provided with two rearwardly facing cross-member plates, which are rigidly connected to said strut plates, wherein each cross-member plate of the cross-member plates, is a crash-box plate, connected to said front cross-member with an interposition of a crash-box structure, wherein said crash-box plates are connected to a lower auxiliary cross-member, through two respective supports, each of which has an upper end connected to a respective crash-box plate of said crash-box plates and a lower end connected to a respective end of the lower auxiliary cross-member, a front-end unit for supporting one or more motor-vehicle auxiliary components, said front-end unit being interposed between the front cross-member and the strut plates and including at least an upper cross-member formed of plastic material, wherein said crash-box plates are connected directly to said strut plates, with no interposition of elements forming part of the front-end unit therebetween, said front-end unit including at least a front-end lower cross-member formed of plastic material, said upper cross-member and said front-end lower cross-member formed by elements which are separated from each other and both connected at ends thereof to said crash-box plates, the upper cross-member of the front-end unit being an element of plastic material having ends screwed directly to the crash-box plates, and the front-end lower cross-member of the front-end unit being connected to the crash-box plates through said supports; and wherein said supports comprise two L-shaped metal sheets, having vertical portions bolted to the lower ends of said crash-box plates and horizontal portions to which the ends of said front-end lower cross-member are screwed.
