[0002] In the automotive industry, as the requirements for automobile appearance are increasing, the requirements for the installation accuracy of automobile parts are becoming higher and higher. In the appearance design, the gap problem between the headlights and fenders affects the overall appearance of the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper limitation on this application. In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "top", "bottom", "first direction", "second direction", "third direction", etc. is the orientation or position relationship based on the accompanying drawings. These orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of this application. The following is a further detailed description of this application in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] The present application provides a vehicle comprising a fender, a headlight, and an installation assembly according to any embodiment of the present application.

[0032] The fender is a part of the vehicle body structure. The fender is located above the wheels, covering and protecting the wheels and the upper part of the suspension system. The fender in the embodiment of the present application refers to the front fender located above the front wheels of the vehicle.

[0033] Headlights are lighting devices installed at the front of a vehicle, generally near the fenders.

[0034] Fenders and headlights are crucial components of a vehicle's front face, and the transition between them is crucial to the vehicle's appearance and aerodynamic performance. Typically, fenders are designed with contours that match the headlights near the headlights, creating a natural transition between the fenders and headlights, resulting in a smooth and natural frontal appearance.

[0035] In the prior art, mounting structures are often installed on other components corresponding to the fender and headlight mounting locations. These mounting structures are manufactured along with the components to which they connect. Due to production errors during the manufacturing process, and during vehicle assembly, installation errors between the various mounting structures can occur. These combined errors make it difficult for the tolerances between the final mounting structures to meet the required transition fit between the fenders and headlights. This results in excessive clearance between the fenders and headlights, impacting the aesthetics and aerodynamic performance of the vehicle's front face. Controlling process errors at each stage of the production and assembly process to achieve these tolerances increases costs and reduces efficiency.

[0036] The present application provides an installation assembly 100 for installing a fender 200, see Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mounting assembly 100 is a prefabricated component, and the mounting assembly 100 has a first mounting position 1, a second mounting position 2 and a third mounting position 3. The first mounting position 1 is used to connect to the vehicle body, the second mounting position 2 is used to connect to the fender 200, and the third mounting position 3 is used to connect to the headlight 300.

[0037] The first mounting position 1, the second mounting position 2, and the third mounting position 3 are specific locations or interfaces on the mounting assembly 100 for connecting different components. The first mounting position 1 is connected to the vehicle body, the second mounting position 2 is connected to the fender 200, and the third mounting position 3 is connected to the headlight 300.

[0038] The specific structures and positions of the first mounting position 1 , the second mounting position 2 and the third mounting position 3 are not limited here.

[0039] The connection method between the installation assembly 100 and different components at the first installation position 1, the second installation position 2 and the third installation position 3 is not limited here. For example, it can be welding, mechanical connection, bonding, riveting and fastener connection, etc., which is determined according to the function and maintainability of each component.

[0040] For example, since the installation assembly 100 is unlikely to wear out to the point of requiring repair or replacement during the normal design service life of the vehicle after it is connected at the first installation position 1, the installation assembly 100 is connected to the vehicle body by welding at the first installation position 1 to improve the connection strength of the installation assembly 100.

[0041] In some embodiments, each mounting location is provided with an adjustment and positioning structure to allow for fine-tuning of the component's angle and position to accommodate different installation requirements. Each mounting location may also be provided with shock-absorbing material, such as rubber pads, to reduce the impact of vibrations on the component during driving.

[0042] Here, the mounting assembly 100 is a prefabricated component, meaning it is a single, integrated structure that can be manufactured independently of the vehicle manufacturing process. After the assembly 100 is manufactured, the fender 200 and headlight 300 can be directly mounted on the second and third mounting positions 2 and 3 of the assembly 100, respectively. This allows the accuracy of the fender 200 and headlight installation to be controlled simply by controlling the tolerances of the second and third mounting positions 2 and 3 during the production of the assembly 100. This eliminates process errors commonly encountered in related technologies and shortens the dimensional chain.

[0043] At the same time, the fender 200 and the headlight 300 can be pre-installed on the mounting assembly 100 to form a whole. When the vehicle production process reaches the process of installing the fender 200 and the headlight 300, the mounting assembly 100 can be directly connected to the vehicle. Since the relative positions of the fender 200 and the headlight 300 are already determined, the installation error between the vehicle and the mounting assembly 100 will not affect the matching accuracy of the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0044] The present application sets up an installation assembly 100 specifically for assembling the fender 200 and the headlight 300, sets the installation assembly 100 as a prefabricated part, sets a first installation position 1 on the installation assembly 100 for connecting to the vehicle body, sets a second installation position 2 for connecting to the fender 200, and sets a third installation position 3 for connecting to the headlight 300. In this way, it is only necessary to control the errors of the first installation position 1, the second installation position 2 and the third installation position 3 on the installation assembly 100 to control the matching accuracy of the fender 200 and the headlight 300, reduce process errors in the production process, and thus reduce the error size chain of the fender 200 and the headlight 300. The structure is simple and the production cost is reduced. On the other hand, the mounting assembly 100 is a prefabricated component, and the fender 200 and the headlight 300 can be pre-installed on the mounting assembly 100, and then connected to the vehicle body through the first mounting position 1 on the mounting assembly 100. This does not affect the assembly accuracy of the fender 200 and the headlight 300, and also improves the efficiency of production and installation.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The mounting assembly 100 includes a first mounting member 4 and a second mounting member 5 arranged along a first direction, and a buffer cavity 6 is defined between the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5.

[0046] The first direction here refers to a direction from the outside of the vehicle to the inside of the vehicle. Here, the first mounting member 4 refers to a structure close to the outside of the vehicle, and the second mounting member 5 refers to a structure close to the inside of the vehicle.

[0047] The buffer cavity 6 is a cavity defined between the first and second mounting members 4, 5 after they are connected as a whole. The provision of the buffer cavity 6 improves the structural strength of the combined structure. Furthermore, in the event of a vehicle collision, the buffer cavity 6 provides a space for the first and second mounting members 4, 5 to collapse during deformation, thereby buffering the energy of the impact and protecting the safety of the occupants.

[0048] The specific structures of the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 are not limited here. For example, the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 are sheet metal members, and the first mounting member 4 and / or the second mounting member 5 have a protrusion away from the connection surface to form a buffer cavity 6.

[0049] In some embodiments, sealing plates are provided at both ends of the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 to seal the buffer cavity 6 , thereby making the buffer cavity 6 waterproof and dustproof and improving its service life.

[0050] The arrangement of the first and second mounting members 4, 5 defines a buffer cavity 6 therebetween, enhancing the structural strength of the mounting assembly 100. Furthermore, the connection of the mounting assembly 100 to the vehicle body and the integrated arrangement of the first and second mounting members 4, 5 contribute to the overall strength of the vehicle body. The buffer cavity 6 collapses during a collision, buffering the impact energy and protecting the safety of the cockpit occupants. The simple structure of the mounting assembly 100, comprising the first and second mounting members 4, 5, facilitates mass production, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The first mounting member 4 includes a first body portion 41 and a first connecting portion 42. The first connecting portions 42 are provided on both sides of the first body portion 41 along the second direction. The second mounting member 5 includes a second body portion 51 and a second connecting portion 52. The second body portion 51 is provided with second connecting portions 52 on both sides of the second body portion 51 along the second direction. The first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 are connected, and a buffer cavity 6 is defined between the first body portion 41 and the second body portion 51. The first direction intersects the second direction.

[0052] The second direction here refers to the height direction of the vehicle.

[0053] Here, the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 are described as sheet metal members.

[0054] The first body portion 41 and the second body portion 51 are respectively protruding structures on the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 away from the connection surface. The first body portion 41 and the second body portion 51 together constitute the buffer cavity 6. It is understood that the volume of the buffer cavity 6 is related to the volume of the protruding structures of the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5. The volume of the protruding structures, and thus the volume of the buffer cavity 6, can be controlled by controlling the cross-sectional area and degree of protrusion of the protruding structures during the sheet metal processing.

[0055] The first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 are structures for connection, disposed along the second direction on either side of the first main body portion 41 and the second main body portion 51, respectively. By disposing the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 in the second direction, the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 are connected, thereby connecting the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 into a single unit, thereby improving the connection strength between the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5. Simultaneously, a buffer cavity 6 is defined, reducing the possibility of disassembly of the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 during a vehicle collision. Furthermore, the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 collapse and deform toward the designated buffer cavity 6, thereby enhancing the cushioning effect of the buffer cavity 6.

[0056] The connection method between the first connection portion 42 and the second connection portion 52 is not limited herein, and may be, for example, welding, riveting, fastener connection, etc.

[0057] The provision of the first body portion 41 and the second body portion 51 facilitates control of the volume of the buffer cavity 6. Forming the buffer cavity 6 by splicing reduces the difficulty of the molding process for the buffer cavity 6 and reduces manufacturing costs. The provision of the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 enhances the connection firmness between the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5, thereby enhancing overall strength and cushioning effect.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 Along the first direction, there is an overlapping area between the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52, and the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 are connected in the overlapping area using a stitch welding process.

[0059] Stitch welding involves partially overlapping the parts being welded, welding them together in the overlapping area. Compared to traditional seam welding, stitch welding requires less stringent fit between the parts being welded; it only requires the two parts to overlap and be close together.

[0060] Here, by setting an overlapping area along the first direction, the first connecting part 42 and the second connecting part 52, so that, on the premise of ensuring that there is enough overlapping area for welding and ensuring the connection strength of the first mounting part 4 and the second mounting part 5, the first mounting part 4 and the second mounting part 5 can be adjusted to a certain extent in the second direction, fixed by a clamp, and welded to adapt to the error of the connection with the vehicle body.

[0061] The overlapping area of ​​the first connecting portion 42 and the second connecting portion 52 is welded by a stitch welding process. In this way, the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 can be adjusted to a certain extent in the second direction, fixed by a clamp, and welded to adapt to the error of the connection with the vehicle body. The structure is simple and the adjustment is convenient.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The first mounting member 4 includes a first mounting portion 43 and a second mounting portion 44 arranged along the third direction, and the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 are connected at one end close to each other. The second mounting member 5 includes a third mounting portion 53 and a fourth mounting portion 54 arranged along the third direction, and the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 are connected at one end close to each other. The first direction intersects the third direction.

[0063] Here, the third direction refers to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.

[0064] The first mounting member 4 is provided with a first mounting portion 43 and a second mounting portion 44 along the third direction, and the second mounting member 5 is provided with a third mounting portion 53 and a fourth mounting portion 54 along the third direction. The first mounting portion 43 and the third mounting portion 53 herein refer to the structures of the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5, respectively, near the front of the vehicle. The second mounting portion 44 and the fourth mounting portion 54 refer to the structures of the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5, respectively, near the front of the vehicle.

[0065] Because the fender 200 needs to cover and protect the wheels and suspension system and has a certain length, the mounting assembly 100 used to mount the fender 200 should also have a certain length to ensure the stability of the fender 200. Consequently, the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 that comprise the mounting assembly 100 should also have a certain length. Since the fender 200 forms the front of the vehicle, it is often designed with a certain curvature for aesthetic reasons. To match the curved appearance of the fender 200, the first mounting member 4 and the second mounting member 5 often also have a curved structure.

[0066] Therefore, by designing the first mounting member 4 into a first mounting portion 43 and a second mounting portion 44, and by designing the second mounting member 5 into a third mounting portion 53 and a fourth mounting portion 54, the long and curved structure that is difficult to form can be divided into a shorter partial linear structure and a partial curved structure. Finally, the two partial structures are spliced ​​together to form a complete long and curved structure, which is conducive to reducing the difficulty of the production molding process, improving production efficiency, improving production yield, and reducing production costs.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , along the first direction, there is an overlapping area between the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 , and the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 are connected in the overlapping area by a stitch welding process.

[0068] The manner in which the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 overlap is not limited herein. For example, the first mounting portion 43 may be located close to the outside of the vehicle, and the second mounting portion 44 may be located inside the vehicle to overlap.

[0069] The overlapping area of ​​the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 is determined according to the structural strength.

[0070] It should be noted that the contact surfaces of the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 in the overlapping area need to be tightly matched to improve the welding strength.

[0071] In some embodiments, in the overlapping area, the cross-sections of the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 are mutually matching arc-shaped structures, for example, they can be wavy, and the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 are nested with each other to increase the contact area.

[0072] By providing an overlapping area between the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 and using a stitch welding process to connect the overlapping area, the connection strength between the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 is improved. At the same time, under the premise of ensuring sufficient overlapping area for welding and ensuring the connection strength between the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44, the first mounting portion 43 and the second mounting portion 44 can be adjusted in the third direction, fixed with a clamp, and then welded to accommodate the connection error with the vehicle body.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 , along the first direction, there is an overlapping area between the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 , and the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 are connected in the overlapping area by a stitch welding process.

[0074] The manner in which the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 overlap is not limited herein. For example, the third mounting portion 53 may be located close to the outside of the vehicle, and the fourth mounting portion 54 may be located inside the vehicle for overlapping.

[0075] The overlapping area of ​​the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 is determined according to the structural strength.

[0076] It should be noted that the contact surfaces of the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 in the overlapping area need to be tightly matched to improve the welding strength.

[0077] In some embodiments, in the overlapping area, the cross-sections of the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 are mutually matching arc-shaped structures, for example, they can be wavy, and the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 are nested with each other to increase the contact area.

[0078] By providing an overlapping area between the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 and using a stitch welding process in the overlapping area, the connection strength between the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 is improved. Furthermore, while ensuring sufficient overlapping area for welding and ensuring the connection strength between the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54, the third mounting portion 53 and the fourth mounting portion 54 can be adjusted in the third direction, fixed with a clamp, and welded to accommodate errors in the connection with the vehicle body.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The mounting assembly 100 includes a first bracket 7 , which is disposed on the first mounting portion 43 . The first bracket 7 forms a second mounting position 2 and / or a third mounting position 3 .

[0080] The first bracket 7 is provided on the first mounting portion 43 and is used to provide structural support for mounting other components. Here, the first bracket 7 can be used to form the second mounting position 2 and / or the third mounting position 3. In other words, the first bracket 7 can support the fender 200, the headlight 300, or both the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0081] The manner in which the second mounting position 2 and the third mounting position 3 are formed on the first bracket 7 is not limited herein. For example, mounting holes are formed on the first bracket 7 for mounting the fender 200 and the headlight 300. There may be one or more mounting holes, with the fender 200 and the headlight 300 each having their own dedicated mounting holes, or the fender 200 and the headlight 300 sharing one or more mounting holes.

[0082] The installation position of the first bracket 7 is not limited here and is specifically determined according to the installation positions of the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0083] The connection form between the first bracket 7 and the first mounting portion 43 is not limited here, and can be, for example, welding, riveting, fastener connection, etc.

[0084] Illustratively, the first bracket 7 is connected to the first mounting portion 43 using a stitch welding process. In this way, the first bracket 7 can be fixed by a clamp and welded after certain adjustments in the second direction and the third direction to adjust the connection error between the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0085] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3 The mounting assembly 100 includes a second bracket 8 , which is disposed on the first mounting portion 43 or the second mounting portion 44 , and has a second mounting position 2 formed therein.

[0086] The second bracket 8 is a component provided on the first mounting portion 43 or the second mounting portion 44 to provide structural support for mounting other components.

[0087] That is, the second mounting bracket can be provided together with the first bracket 7 on the first mounting portion 43, or can be provided separately on the second mounting portion 44. The specific installation position is determined by the installation positions of the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0088] Here, the second bracket 8 can be used to form the second installation position 2 , that is, the second bracket 8 can support the fender 200 .

[0089] The form of the second mounting position 2 formed by the second bracket 8 is not limited herein. For example, a mounting hole is formed on the second bracket 8 for mounting the fender 200. There can be one or more mounting holes.

[0090] The installation position of the second bracket 8 is not limited here and is specifically determined according to the installation position of the fender 200 .

[0091] The connection form between the second bracket 8 and the first mounting portion 43 or the second mounting portion 44 is not limited here, and can be, for example, welding, riveting, fastener connection, etc.

[0092] Illustratively, the second bracket 8 is connected to the second mounting portion 44 using a stitch welding process. In this way, the second bracket 8 can be fixed by a clamp and welded after certain adjustments in the second direction and the third direction to adjust the connection error between the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0093] By providing the first and second brackets 7 and 8 to connect the fender 200 and the headlight 300, the installation accuracy of the fender 200 and the headlight 300 can be controlled by simply controlling the tolerances of the first and second brackets 7 and 8, resulting in a simple structure. Furthermore, during installation, the first and second brackets 7 and 8 can be adjusted in the second and third directions to accommodate different installations of the fender 200 and the headlight 300.

[0094] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The vehicle includes an A-pillar, the first mounting position 1 is located at one end of the mounting assembly 100 along the third direction, and the mounting assembly 100 is connected to the A-pillar of the vehicle body through the first mounting position 1.

[0095] The A-pillar is a crucial component of the vehicle's body structure.
