[0022] See also Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 1 to 3 It is a structural schematic diagram of a fender bracket in an embodiment of the present invention, the fender bracket includes a connecting shaft 1, a fixed seat 2, a rotating seat 3 and a locking structure 4; the fixed seat 2 is fixed to the connecting shaft 1, and is provided with a first mounting portion 21; the rotating seat 3 is provided with a second mounting portion 31, and is rotatably mounted on the connecting shaft 1, the rotating seat 3 can be rotatably switched between a first position and a second position, when the second mounting portion 31 is offset from the fixed seat 2, when the second position, the projection of the rotating seat 3 on the fixed seat 2 falls within the fixed seat 2; the locking structure 4 is provided between the fixed seat 2 and the rotating seat 3, and is used to lock the rotating seat 3 in the first position and the second position.

[0023] In the fender bracket provided by the present invention, one end of the connecting shaft 1 is used to connect the fender 5, and the other end is fixedly installed with a fixing seat 2, and a first mounting portion 21 for connecting the vehicle body is provided on the fixing seat 2, and the rotating seat 3 is rotatably installed on the connecting shaft 1, and a second mounting portion 31 for connecting the vehicle body is provided on the rotating seat 3, and can be switched between the first position and the second position. When the rotating seat 3 is in the first position, the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 31 are connected to the vehicle body at the same time; and when the rotating seat 3 is in the second position, it retracts to one side of the fixing seat 2, reducing the occupied space, so as to facilitate the connection between the first mounting portion 21 and the vehicle body. In addition, when the rotating seat 3 is in the first position and the second position, the rotating seat 3 can be locked to the connecting shaft 1 by the locking structure 4, limiting the rotation of the rotating shaft, and improving the connection stability between the rotating seat 3 and the vehicle body. In this way, the position of the rotating seat 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specifications and dimensions of the mounting portion of the vehicle body, so that the fender bracket can be applied to vehicle bodies with various mounting portion specifications, thereby improving versatility.

[0024] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rotating seat 3 includes a rotating seat 32 and two mounting seats 33. The rotating seat 32 is installed on the connecting shaft 1 and can rotate around the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1. The two mounting seats 33 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the rotating seat 32 and are located on both sides of the radial direction of the connecting shaft 1. When each mounting seat 33 is in the first position, it can be staggered with the fixed seat 2, and retracted to one side of the fixed seat 2 when it is in the second position; there are two second mounting parts 31, and the two second mounting parts 31 are respectively arranged on the two mounting seats 33.

[0025] In this embodiment, the rotating seat 3 is configured in the form of a rotating seat 32 and two mounting seats 33 , and the two mounting seats 33 are respectively provided with second mounting portions 31 to improve the connection strength between the rotating seat 3 and the vehicle body.

[0026] In one embodiment, the fixing seat 2 includes a main seat 22 and two connecting seats 23. The main seat 22 is fixed to the connecting shaft 1. The two connecting seats 23 are respectively connected to the opposite ends of the main seat 22 and are located on both sides of the radial direction of the connecting shaft 1. Two first mounting portions 21 are provided, and the two first mounting portions 21 are respectively provided on the two connecting seats 23.

[0027] Similarly, in this embodiment, the fixing seat 2 is configured in the form of a main seat 22 and two connecting seats 23, and the first mounting portions 21 are respectively provided on the two connecting seats 23 to improve the connection strength between the fixing seat 2 and the vehicle body.

[0028] In one embodiment, the first mounting portion 21 is a first mounting hole 21a provided on the connecting seat 23, and the second mounting portion 31 is a second mounting hole 31a provided on the mounting seat 33. When the mounting seat 33 is in the second position, the second mounting hole 31a is connected to the first mounting hole 21a.

[0029] In this embodiment, the mounting portions on the fixed seat 2 and the rotating seat 3 are set in the form of mounting holes, and the fixed connection between the fixed seat 2, the rotating seat 3 and the vehicle body is realized by bolts, which has a simple and reliable structure and is easy to operate. At the same time, when the rotating seat 3 is in the second position, the second mounting hole 31a can be connected with the first mounting hole 21a, which, on the one hand, enables the mounting seat 33 to avoid the first mounting hole 21a, and on the other hand, ensures the integrity of the overall structure of the mounting seat 33, avoids additional grooves on the mounting seat 33 to avoid, and improves the strength of the mounting seat 33.

[0030] In one of the embodiments, at least two locking grooves 2a are provided at circumferential intervals along the connecting shaft 11 on one side of the fixed seat 2 close to the rotating seat 3, and an accommodating channel 3a is provided on one side of the rotating seat 3 close to the fixed seat 2, and the accommodating channel 3a corresponds to the locking groove 2a; the locking structure 4 includes an elastic member 41 and a locking ball 42, the elastic member 41 is placed in the accommodating channel 3a, and the locking ball 42 is connected to one end close to the locking groove 2a, which is used to drive the locking ball 42 to move toward the fixed seat 2, so that the locking ball 42 can extend into the locking groove 2a when the rotating seat 3 is in the first position and the second position respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the locking ball 42 is driven into the locking groove 2a by the elastic member 41 to limit the position of the rotating seat 3. The operation is simple and convenient. When the position of the rotating seat 3 needs to be adjusted, it is sufficient to apply a preset external force to rotate the rotating seat 3 so that the locking ball 42 exits the previous locking groove 2a until it enters another locking groove 2a and stops rotating the rotating seat 3. It should be noted that in this solution, the elastic member 41 is a compression spring. In addition, in one embodiment, the rotating seat 3 and the connecting shaft 1 cooperate through a slide groove and a slide rail to limit the axial displacement of the rotating seat 3 along the connecting shaft 1. The accommodating channel 3a is a non-through hole.

[0032] In one embodiment, two groups of locking grooves 2a are provided, and multiple locking grooves 2a of the two groups are spaced apart along the circumference of the connecting shaft 1, and multiple groups of accommodating channels 3a, elastic members 41 and locking balls 42 are provided respectively. When the rotating seat 3 is in the first position and the second position, multiple groups of locking balls 42 extend into multiple locking grooves 2a of the same group.

[0033] In this embodiment, when the rotating seat 3 is in the first position, the multiple locking balls 42 all extend into a corresponding group of multiple locking grooves 2a; similarly, when the rotating seat 3 is in the second position, the multiple locking balls 42 also extend into another corresponding group of multiple locking grooves 2a to limit the rotation of the rotating seat 3 relative to the connecting shaft 1.

[0034] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, each locking groove 2a is provided with two, and similarly, the accommodating channel 3a, the compression spring and the locking ball 42 are respectively provided with two, and the two locking grooves 2a of the two groups are alternately arranged in sequence along the circumference of the connecting shaft 1, and the central angle between the two locking grooves 2a of the two adjacent groups is set to 90°, and the accommodating channel 3a, the compression spring and the locking ball 42 are arranged corresponding to the locking groove 2a.

[0035] In addition, in this embodiment, the fixed seat 2 and the rotating seat 3 are made of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, which has high strength and good corrosion resistance. The diameter of the locking groove 2a on the fixed seat 2 is set to 6mm, the depth is 3mm, and the adjacent central angles are evenly distributed at 90°. The locking ball 42 is a stainless steel ball with a diameter of 5mm, and the compression spring is a stainless steel compression spring with a wire diameter of 0.8mm, an outer diameter of 4.5mm, and a free length of 12mm. The connecting shaft 1 is stainless steel and has a step and a thread at one end for fixing and preventing falling off.

[0036] During assembly, the assembly process is as follows: a. Fix the fixing seat 2 at the preset position of the vehicle body through the mounting hole; b. Install the connecting shaft 1 in the center hole of the fixing seat 2; c. Install the spring and the ball into the non-through hole of the rotating seat 3; d. Put the rotating seat 3 on the connecting shaft 1 and lock it with a nut to limit the rotating seat 3 from running away from the fixing seat 2; e. Test the rotation and positioning functions.

[0037] In another embodiment, a plurality of locking grooves 2a corresponding to the first position are provided at circumferential intervals along the connecting shaft 1, so that when the rotating seat 3 is in the first position, the central angle corresponding to the first mounting portion 21 and the second mounting portion 31 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby further improving the versatility of the bracket.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 The connecting shaft 1 is used to be installed in the mounting hoop 6 of the fender 5, and its outer wall is provided with a limiting protrusion 11 along its axial direction. The limiting protrusion 11 is used to cooperate with the limiting groove on the inner wall of the mounting hoop 6 to limit the connecting shaft 1 from rotating around its axial direction relative to the fender 5.

[0039] In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 11 is further provided on the connecting shaft 1 to limit the rotation of the connecting shaft 1 relative to the fender 5 , thereby improving the stability of the connection between the connecting shaft 1 and the fender 5 .

[0040] In one embodiment, anti-slip protrusions 12 are respectively provided at both ends of the limiting protrusion 11 , and the anti-slip protrusions 12 are connected to the limiting protrusion 11 at an angle to limit the limiting protrusion 11 from escaping from the limiting groove along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1 .

[0041] In this embodiment, anti-slip protrusions 12 are also provided at both ends of the limiting protrusion 11 to prevent the fender 5 from accidentally slipping off along the axial direction of the connecting shaft 1, further improving the connection stability between the fender 5 and the connecting shaft 1. In addition, the limiting protrusion 11 includes a reinforcing section 111 and two limiting sections 112 . The two limiting sections 112 are connected to both ends of the reinforcing section 111 and are respectively used to extend into corresponding limiting grooves. The size of the limiting section 112 is smaller than that of the reinforcing section 111 .

[0042] In this way, the strength of the connecting shaft 1 can be improved while the weight of the connecting shaft 1 can be reduced as much as possible, thereby improving the rationality of the setting of the connecting shaft 1.

[0043] In one embodiment, a plurality of rotating seats 3 are provided, and the plurality of rotating seats 3 are arranged in sequence in a direction away from the fixed seat 2 . When each rotating seat 3 is in the first position, the second mounting portion 31 thereon is also staggered with other rotating seats 3 .

[0044] In this embodiment, a plurality of rotating seats 3 are provided, and when the plurality of rotating seats 3 are in the first position, the second mounting portion 31 on each rotating seat 3 can be staggered with other rotating seats 3 and the fixed seat 2, so that the number of rotating seats 3 can be called as needed to adapt to a vehicle body with corresponding positions and numbers of mounting portions, thereby further improving versatility.

[0045] In addition, the present invention further provides a vehicle, the vehicle comprising any one of the above-mentioned fender brackets. It should be noted that the detailed structure of the vehicle fender bracket can refer to the above-mentioned embodiments of the fender bracket, which will not be described in detail here; since the above-mentioned fender bracket is used in the vehicle of the present invention, the embodiments of the vehicle of the present invention include all technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments of the fender bracket, and the technical effects achieved are also completely the same, which will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figures 1 to 5 The technical solution of the present invention is described in detail: In this solution, the design of relative rotation of the fixed seat 2 and the rotating seat 3 is adopted to realize the switching between the two-hole and four-hole installation positions.
