[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] In this application, the directional term "inward" refers to the direction pointing to the inside of the vehicle; the directional term "outward" refers to the direction pointing to the outside of the vehicle. The term "lateral" refers to the width direction of the vehicle.

[0039] Figure 1 A vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically shown. Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle 1 includes a fender 2 and a bumper skin 3 assembled with the fender 2 .

[0040] In one embodiment, Figure 2As shown, the fender 2 is implemented as a front fender. The bumper skin 3 is implemented as a front bumper skin, and is assembled with the front fender. It should also be understood that the fender 2 can also be implemented as a rear fender (not shown in the figure); accordingly, the bumper skin 3 is implemented as a rear bumper skin, and is assembled with the rear fender. The assembly structure of the front bumper skin and the front fender is similar to the assembly structure of the rear bumper skin and the rear fender. For simplicity, the technical solution of the present application will be described below by taking the assembly structure of the front bumper skin and the front fender as an example.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, the fender 2 includes a first edge portion 21. A first flange 210 is configured at the first edge portion 21, and the first flange 210 extends inwardly in the direction A (eg, Figure 7 shown).

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bumper skin 3 includes a main body 31 and at least one support portion 32. Specifically, the main body 31 includes a first fitting portion 313 corresponding to the first edge portion 21. The support portion 32 is configured on the inner surface of the main body 31 and adjacent to the first fitting portion 313.

[0043] Also like Figure 7 As shown, the support portion 32 extends toward the first flange 210 and includes a support surface 320 facing the first flange 210. The first flange 210 abuts against the support surface 320, so that the first fitting portion 313 is spaced apart from the first edge portion 21.

[0044] Overall, after the bumper skin 3 of the present application is assembled with the fender 2, the first assembly portion 313 of the main body 31 (or the bumper skin 3) does not contact the first edge portion 21 of the fender 2. In this way, when the bumper skin 3 is installed and / or removed, the first assembly portion 313 of the bumper skin 3 and the fender 2 will not rub against each other, and thus no scratches will be formed on the fender 2, which helps to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1.

[0045] It should be understood that the two lateral ends of the bumper skin 3 are respectively configured with a support portion 32; and each support portion 32 cooperates with the corresponding left fender or right fender, which will not be described in detail here. It should be understood that the terms "left" and "right" here are based on the width direction of the vehicle 1.

[0046] Optionally, Figure 5As shown, the support surface 320 is lower than the first assembly portion 313. Overall, the support surface 320 is recessed relative to the first assembly portion 313. The first flange 210 is inclined toward the support surface 320. According to this structure, when the bumper skin 3 is initially assembled to the fender 2, the support portion 32 (or the support surface 320) does not contact the outer surface of the fender 2. As the bumper skin 3 is gradually assembled in place, the support portion 32 will move to the inner side of the fender 2, so that the support surface 320 will abut against the first flange 210. In this way, during the assembly process of the bumper skin 3, the support portion 32 (or the support surface 320) is prevented from contacting or even scratching the outer surface of the fender 2, thereby helping to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1. It should be understood that the height of the support surface 320 and the first assembly portion 313 can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0047] In one embodiment, the support surface 320 is configured as an inclined surface that matches the first flange 210. In this way, during the assembly of the bumper skin 3, it helps to reduce the resistance generated by the first flange 210 to the support portion 32, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the bumper skin 3. In addition, since the first flange 210 generates less resistance to the support portion 32, it also helps to reduce the possibility of the support portion 32 being damaged during the assembly of the bumper skin 3.

[0048] The first flange 210 is in tight contact with the support surface 320 , which helps to improve the stability of the bumper skin 3 , and a gap between the first assembly portion 313 of the bumper skin 3 and the first edge portion 21 of the fender 2 is smaller, so as to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1 .

[0049] Alternatively, if Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the support portion 32 and the first assembly portion 313 are formed into an integral structure. Overall, the thickness of the first assembly portion 313 of the bumper skin 3 is relatively thick, so the strength is also relatively large. As a result, the first assembly portion 313 is not easily pulled inward by the support portion 32 and bent and deformed, which also helps to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the thickness of the support portion 32 extending from the inner surface of the main body 31 (i.e., the thickness along the inward direction A) is between 4 mm and 6 mm. The support portion 32 of this structure can not only ensure the strength of the first assembly portion 313 of the bumper skin 3, but also will not cause the outer surface of the bumper skin 3 to deform during the injection molding of the bumper skin 3, thereby facilitating the manufacture of the bumper skin 3. For example, the thickness of the support portion 32 can be 4.5 mm, 5 mm, or 5.5 mm, etc. It should be understood that the thickness of the support portion 32 can also be configured to other values ​​according to actual conditions, which is not limited here.

[0051] Optionally, Figure 5 As shown, along the length direction L of the first assembly portion 313, the length of the support portion 32 is between 6 mm and 8 mm. According to this structure, the length of the support portion 32 is longer, and the support range for the first flange 210 of the fender 2 is larger. This helps to make the gap between the first edge portion 21 of the fender 2 and the first assembly portion 313 of the bumper skin 3 have a uniform width, thereby further improving the appearance quality of the vehicle 1. In one embodiment, the length of the support portion 32 can be 6.5 mm, 7 mm, or 7.7 mm, etc. It should be understood that the length of the support portion 32 can also be configured to other values ​​according to actual conditions, which are not limited here.

[0052] Optionally, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a blocking portion 311 is also configured on the inner surface of the main body 31. The blocking portion 311 is located inside the support portion 32 and extends beyond the support portion 32 toward the first flange 210. After the bumper skin 3 is assembled on the fender 2, the first flange 210 also abuts against the blocking portion 311. In this way, the fender 2 can prevent the bumper skin 3 from bending and deforming outward, thereby helping to improve the appearance quality of the vehicle 1. The size of the blocking portion 311 extending upward can be determined according to actual conditions and is not limited here.

[0053] In one embodiment, the blocking portion 311 and the main body 31 are formed into an integral structure, which helps to improve the stability of the blocking portion 311 and also facilitates the manufacture of the bumper skin 3 .

[0054] Alternatively, if Figure 3 As shown, the fender 2 further includes a second edge portion 22 connected to the first edge portion 21. A second flange 220 extending inwardly in the direction A is configured at the second edge portion 22. Figure 4 As shown, the main body 31 of the bumper skin 3 further includes a second fitting portion 314 corresponding to the second edge portion 22. The second fitting portion 314 is connected to the first fitting portion 313, and a mounting flange 315 is configured at the second fitting portion 314.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the second flange 220 is connected to the mounting flange 315, thereby fixing the bumper skin 3 and the fender 2 together. In one embodiment, a plurality of first mounting holes 316 are configured on the second flange 220, and a plurality of second mounting holes 317 (such as Figure 4The first mounting hole 316 is aligned with the corresponding second mounting hole 317, and bolts (not shown) are arranged in the first mounting hole 316 and the second mounting hole 317, so as to connect the second flange 220 and the mounting flange 315 together.

[0056] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
