[0035] According to a first aspect of the present invention, a side wheel cover assembly structure is provided, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the side wheel cover assembly structure is used for a vehicle, which can avoid the problem of liquid accumulation when the rear wheel cover of the vehicle is in electrophoresis painting. The side wheel cover assembly structure includes a side body 1 and a wheel cover body 2.

[0036] In the following description, reference will be made to Figures 1 to 6 The detailed structures of the side panel body 1 and the wheel cover body 2 of the side panel wheel cover assembly structure are specifically described.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the embodiment, the side enclosure wheel cover assembly structure may include a side enclosure body 1 and a wheel cover body 2, wherein the side enclosure body 1 is disposed on the vehicle body, and the wheel cover body 2 is disposed on the side enclosure body 1. Specifically, the side enclosure body 1 may be a side enclosure outer plate, a structure for mounting a rear wheel cover, etc. The wheel cover body 2 is partially attached to the side enclosure body 1 to form an attaching position, and the attaching position is used for mounting the wheel cover body 2.

[0038] The wheel cover body 2 includes a raised portion 201. For the sake of aesthetic appearance, the existing vehicles usually have wheel arches installed on the side enclosure body 1. The wheel arches are installed on the side enclosure body 1 through a clip-on structure. In order to avoid the clip-on structure of the wheel arch, the wheel cover body 2 is designed with a protruding avoidance structure. Due to structural reasons, the avoidance structure may cause liquid accumulation during electrophoresis painting. Therefore, the avoidance structure is improved to form a raised portion 201.

[0039] The raised part 201 may include a boss 202 and an avoidance hole 203. The boss 202 makes part of the raised part 201 further protrude. The avoidance hole 203 is located at the side of the boss 202, and the boss 202 is located close to the fitting position. In this way, the avoidance hole 203 is located at the fitting position so that a flow channel 204 is formed between the side enclosure body 1 and the wheel cover body 2, so that the accumulated liquid at the raised part 201 can be discharged from the avoidance hole 203, and the electrophoresis liquid can enter the fitting position during electrophoresis coating to perform a sufficient electrophoresis reaction, thereby avoiding sheet metal corrosion caused by inadequate electrophoresis.

[0040] The side wheel cover assembly structure improves the avoidance structure in the original structure so that when the vehicle is electrophoretically painted, the electrophoretic liquid can enter the fitting position to avoid rust caused by the sheet metal not being electrophoretically painted. The electrophoretic liquid can also be discharged to avoid liquid accumulation.

[0041] Preferably, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment, there are multiple protrusions 201, and the multiple protrusions 201 are arranged at intervals on the side of the wheel cover body 2. In order to ensure the stable installation of the wheel arch, multiple protrusions 201 are designed. Furthermore, multiple protrusions 201 can also ensure that the electrophoretic liquid enters the fitting position more fully and comprehensively, or is discharged from the fitting position, to avoid sheet metal corrosion or liquid accumulation.

[0042] Preferably, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment, the side enclosure body 1 may include a first bending portion 101, and the first bending portion 101 is located at the lower part of the side enclosure body 1. The side enclosure body 1 can be bent toward the direction of the wheel cover body 2 through the first bending portion 101, thereby facilitating the installation of the wheel cover body 2. Specifically, the first bending portion 101 is partially fitted with the wheel cover body 2 to form the fitting position. A through hole 102 for the clamping structure of the wheel eyebrow of the vehicle to pass through is provided in the middle part of the first bending portion 101. The clamping structure of the wheel eyebrow is clamped and installed with the side enclosure body 1 by passing through the through hole 102. The first bending portion 101 can bend the side enclosure body 1, thereby forming a clamping position for installing the clamping structure of the wheel eyebrow, which is convenient for installation.

[0043] Preferably, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in an embodiment, the wheel cover body 2 may include a second bending portion 205, a third bending portion 206 and a transition portion 207, the transition portion 207 faces the side enclosure body 1, the second bending portion 205 and the third bending portion 206 are respectively arranged at two ends of the transition portion 207, the second bending portion 205 and the third bending portion 206 respectively bend the wheel cover body 2 in different directions, so that the wheel cover body 2 can be close to the side enclosure body 1 with an avoidance space 208 reserved.

[0044] Preferably, an escape space 208 for accommodating the snap-fit ​​structure of the wheel arch is formed between the transition portion 207 , the third bending portion 206 and the side enclosure body 1 .

[0045] Preferably, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment, the wheel cover body 2 further includes a fourth bending portion 209, and the bending direction of the fourth bending portion 209 is the same as the bending direction of the second bending portion 205. In this way, the wheel cover body 2 is bent three times to achieve one end being relatively perpendicular to the side enclosure body 1 and the other end being relatively parallel to the side enclosure body 1. The fourth bending portion 209 corresponds to the fitting position, and a flow channel 204 is formed between the fourth bending portion 209 and the side enclosure body 1 for the entry and exit of the electrophoretic liquid.

[0046] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment, the avoidance hole 203 is formed as an oblong hole. The avoidance hole 203 formed as an oblong hole can reduce the overall opening area on the basis of ensuring sufficient circulation of the electrophoretic liquid, so as to facilitate the blocking of the avoidance hole 203 in the subsequent process. Blocking here means that after coating and electrophoresis, in order to ensure the overall sealing of the vehicle, the avoidance hole 203 needs to be blocked to avoid water leakage and air leakage. Preferably, after the coating and electrophoresis process, the fitting position, edge and avoidance hole 203 of the side enclosure body 1 can be blocked by applying sealant.

[0047] Preferably, if Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment, the boss 202 is arranged on the upper part of the avoidance hole 203, and the boss 202 is located in the middle area of ​​the avoidance hole 203. Since the boss 202 is located in the middle area of ​​the avoidance hole 203, a gap (such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown), thereby facilitating the circulation of the electrophoresis fluid.

[0048] Preferably, if Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in the embodiment, the side enclosure body 1 may further include a folded edge portion 103, and the folded edge portion 103 is located at the side of the side enclosure body 1. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The wheel cover body 2 may include a pressing surface 210, and the protrusion 201 may be located at the pressing surface 210. The pressing surface 210 may be used for the pressing connection of the folding portion 103 of the side enclosure body 1, so that the folding portion 103 and the pressing surface 210 are connected to each other to form a fitting position.

[0049] Preferably, if Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in the embodiment, the folded edge portion 103 is bonded to the pressing surface 210. When the side enclosure body 1 and the wheel cover body 2 are connected, in order to ensure the connection, it is necessary to apply folded edge glue to the folded edge portion 103, and then use a rolling machine to press the folded edge portion 103 of the side enclosure body 1 onto the pressing surface 210 of the wheel cover body 2.

[0050] The side enclosure wheel cover assembly structure forms a fitting position by fitting the side enclosure body and the wheel cover body together, and a flow channel is formed at the fitting position through the raised portion arranged at the lower part of the wheel cover body, so as to facilitate the flow of the electrophoretic liquid during the electrophoretic coating process, and ensure that the electrophoretic liquid enters the fitting position more fully and comprehensively, or is discharged from the fitting position, to avoid rust or accumulation of liquid in the sheet metal. This structure can effectively avoid the problem of liquid accumulation in the fitting position, which may lead to electrophoretic liquid cross-channeling and poor electrophoresis of the sheet metal, and easy rust, without affecting the sealing performance of the vehicle body.

[0051] In addition, according to the second aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, the vehicle comprising the side wheel cover assembly structure as described above. After the vehicle is electrophoretically coated, the quality of the sheet metal can be ensured and rust can be avoided.
