[0021] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0022] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0023] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present invention.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 This utility model exemplarily proposes a front wheel bulge assembly, comprising:
[0025] The first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3 are connected. The first plate 1 is located at the front end, the second plate 2 is located at the rear end, and the third plate 3 is connected to both the first plate 1 and the second plate 2. The first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3 form a semi-enclosed cover structure to cover the upper and inner sides of the front wheels of the car. The front of the second plate 2 has an integrally formed resting part 4.
[0026] It should be noted that traditional footrests are generally placed on the front wheel hump assembly, requiring a separate footrest bracket. The bracket and the front wheel hump are welded together. Due to the influence of welding precision, the angle and height of the bracket affect the driver's comfort. Furthermore, since it is a separate structure, the footrest bracket and the front wheel hump need to be compatible with each other. The footrest bracket needs to be designed and developed separately for the front wheel hump assembly, which increases the tooling cost.
[0027] In the front wheel hump assembly provided in this embodiment, a semi-enclosed cover structure is formed by the first plate 1, the second plate 2 and the third plate 3. The second plate 2 is located at the rear end, and the footrest 4 is integrally formed with the second plate 2, integrating the footrest function into the front wheel hump assembly to meet the driver's footrest needs. There is no need to assemble a separate footrest plate. The front wheel hump assembly has a built-in footrest function, saving assembly steps and improving the assembly efficiency of the front wheel hump assembly.
[0028] In this embodiment, the footrest 4 includes a step surface 5 protruding from the front of the second plate 2. The step surface 5 has a square structure. Specifically, the footrest 4 is integrally stamped on the front of the second plate 2. The area around the footrest 4 is a boss structure that protrudes from the front of the second plate 2, forming an independent step surface 5. Compared with the traditional footrest bracket, the step surface 5 is longer, increasing the contact area between the foot and the step surface 5, which is more conducive to the relaxation and rest of the foot. In addition, the arc structure formed by the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, with the second plate 2 located at the rear end, has a gentler tilt angle, which is suitable for the placement of the foot, thereby improving the driver's comfort.
[0029] In the above embodiment, multiple reinforcing ribs 6 are provided on the foot surface 5. The multiple reinforcing ribs 6 protrude from the foot surface 5 and form a strip structure. Specifically, the multiple reinforcing ribs 6 are evenly distributed on the foot surface 5, and each reinforcing rib 6 extends along the width direction of the foot surface 5. The reinforcing ribs 6 can not only strengthen the support structure of the foot surface 5, but also increase the friction when the foot contacts the foot surface 5, so as to prevent the foot from sliding when contacting the foot surface 5 and affecting the driver's comfort experience.
[0030] In some embodiments, the front wheel hump assembly further includes an edge structure 7, which surrounds the front end of the first plate 1, the rear end of the second plate 2, and the side of the third plate 3. The edge structure 7 is connected to the first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3, which can strengthen the connection between the three and improve the appearance of the edge of the front wheel hump assembly.
[0031] In detail, the edging structure 7 has multiple recessed mounting positions 8, each mounting position 8 having a mounting hole 9. The mounting positions 8 are used to position the front wheel hump assembly on the vehicle body. Fasteners are inserted through the mounting holes 9 and the edging structure 7 is welded to install the front wheel hump assembly on the vehicle body.
[0032] In some embodiments, one side of the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 has a flange structure 10. Specifically, the flange structure 10 is folded upward relative to the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 to form an arc-shaped structure. The first plate 1 and the second plate 2 are the main parts of the front wheel bulge assembly. The flange structure 10 and the third plate 3 are located on both sides of the first plate 1 and the second plate 2, respectively, thereby forming a semi-enclosed cover structure, thereby covering the upper and inner sides of the front wheel of the car.
[0033] Furthermore, the connection between the flange structure 10 and the first plate 1 and the second plate 2 has an arc-shaped transition structure, and the transition structure has multiple reinforcing structures. Specifically, the reinforcing structures are used to strengthen the structure at the connection. The reinforcing structures include arc-shaped long ribs 11, recessed corner ribs 12, and protruding ribs 13. The long ribs 11 extend along the connection from one side of the flange structure 10 to the other side and connect the corner ribs 12 and the ribs 13.
[0034] In this embodiment, the front wheel hump assembly is integrally stamped. The first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3 are all formed from body sheet metal. Specifically, the front wheel hump assembly is integrally stamped from body sheet metal, which can strengthen the overall connection structure. Since the footrest 4 is also part of the body sheet metal, the support structure is more stable compared to the plastic material of the traditional footrest. There is no need to design separate plastic decorative parts for assembly. In addition, the body sheet metal is thinner, usually only 1mm, which can save material costs, simplify the assembly process, and improve production efficiency.
[0035] In another embodiment, the present invention also provides an automobile including the aforementioned front wheel hump assembly.
[0036] In summary, in the front wheel hump assembly and automobile provided in this embodiment, a semi-enclosed cover structure is formed by the first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3. The second plate 2 is located at the rear end, and the footrest 4 is integrally formed with the second plate 2, integrating the footrest function into the front wheel hump assembly to meet the driver's footrest needs. There is no need to assemble a separate footrest plate, as the front wheel hump assembly has a built-in footrest function, saving assembly steps and improving the assembly efficiency of the front wheel hump assembly.
[0037] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
