What is under the front bumper of a car
The lower front bumper body of an automobile is commonly referred to as the lower front bumper guard, lower front bumper, or front bumper wind deflector . The name may vary depending on the vehicle. The main parts of the lower part of the front bumper are as follows:
Front bumper underguard : This is a protective part, usually made of plastic or metal, at the bottom of the front bumper to prevent damage to the underside of the vehicle from debris on the road .
deflector : fixed at the bottom of the bumper by the clip or screw, mainly used to improve the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle, reduce wind resistance and improve driving stability .
engine guard : mounted on the bottom of the engine to protect the engine from debris on the road, usually made of steel plate or plastic steel .
These components differ in vehicle design and function, but the common purpose is to protect important parts of the vehicle and improve the overall performance of the vehicle.
The main functions of the lower body of the front bumper include protecting the underside of the vehicle, reducing air resistance, enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, and providing additional protection.
Protect the bottom of the vehicle : the lower body of the front bumper by absorbing and mitigating the external impact force, can reduce the external damage to the vehicle and driver when the vehicle or driver is impacted, so as to protect the safety of the vehicle and passengers .
Reduced air drag : The deflector under the front bumper is designed to reduce drag at high speeds, helping to reduce fuel consumption. In addition, the deflector can also reduce the lift of the vehicle at high speed and improve the driving stability .
improve the appearance beauty : the lower body of the front bumper not only has practical function, but also can play a decorative role, improve the appearance of the vehicle beauty .
provides additional protection : The protection of the vehicle can be further improved by installing stronger metal front bars and front bar guards to protect weak areas such as water tanks. For example, the use of aluminum alloy front bars can reduce weight while maintaining high strength .
The plastic part under the front bumper of a car is often called the deflector or the deflector . Its main function is to reduce the wind resistance generated by the car during high-speed driving, thereby reducing fuel consumption and improving driving stability.
The characteristics and functions of the deflector
Structure design
The baffle is usually fixed under the bumper by screws or fasteners, and is shaped as a downward-sloping connecting plate that is integrated with the front skirt of the body.
features
Reduced drag : By optimizing the airflow under the vehicle, reduce the lift generated at high speeds, thus reducing fuel consumption.
improve stability : prevent the rear wheel from floating, enhance driving safety.
Beauty and protection : As an extension of the bumper, the deflector also enhances the overall appearance of the vehicle and acts as a cushion in minor collisions.
Material and maintenance
The baffle is mostly made of lightweight plastic, which is easy to shape but easy to be deformed by collision. If it is damaged or lost, the owner can replace it individually without replacing the entire bumper.
Sum up
The deflector is an integral part of automotive design, not only optimizing aerodynamic performance, but also improving driving safety and fuel economy. If your vehicle deflector is loose or damaged, it is recommended to repair or replace it in time to ensure its normal function.
