DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0055] ​With reference to the drawings and the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.

[0056] The fender is the outer panel of the vehicle body covering the wheels. During the driving of the vehicle, the fender can prevent the sand and mud rolled up by the wheels from splashing to the bottom of the vehicle compartment, and has a protective effect on the vehicle. In order to improve the appearance of the vehicle, a decorative part is usually installed on the fender, and the outer surface of the decorative part is flush with the outer surface of the fender.

[0057] In the related art, a camera is usually installed on the decorative part. However, in order to avoid the camera, the fender needs to be recessed inward by a large size along the width direction of the vehicle body during the stamping forming process, which causes the fender to be easily cracked during the stamping process, and the yield rate is low.

[0058] Therefore, the embodiments of the present application provide a fender assembly and a vehicle. By making the fender include a first plate body and a second plate body, and providing an avoiding space for avoiding the mounting position at the connecting joint of the first plate body and the second plate body, compared with the scheme of forming the avoiding space of the functional part on the fender of the prior art which is formed in an integral structure by stamping, the forming difficulty of the avoiding space is reduced, which to some extent avoids the cracking phenomenon caused by avoiding the mounting position on the decorative part during the stamping process, improves the stamping yield rate of the fender, and improves the yield rate of the fender assembly.

[0059] The fender assembly and the vehicle provided by the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments:

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 13 As shown in the figure, the embodiment provides a fender assembly, which includes a fender and a decorative part 3.

[0061] In specific implementation, the fender assembly of the embodiment can be applied to the front wheel of the vehicle, and used as a front fender assembly.

[0062] Specifically, referring to Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, the fender includes a first plate body 1 and a second plate body 2, and the second plate body 2 is connected to one side of the first plate body 1. The decorative part 3 is at least covered on the second plate body 2 and connected with the second plate body 2. The decorative part 3 is provided with a mounting position for mounting a functional part 6, and the mounting position extends towards the second plate body 2. The connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 has an avoiding space for avoiding the mounting position.

[0063] By making the fender include the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, connecting the second plate body 2 on one side of the first plate body 1, the fender is formed as a split structure, so that the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 can be respectively formed by stamping, which reduces the difficulty of structural modeling and facilitates stamping.

[0064] Specifically, the first plate body 1 is formed by stamping, the second plate body 2 is formed by stamping, and the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 are connected together to form the fender.

[0065] Moreover, by making the connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 have a avoiding space for avoiding the mounting position, after the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 formed by stamping are connected, the avoiding space of the functional part can be formed at the connecting joint of the two, compared with the prior art of forming the avoiding space of the functional part on the fender of the integrated structure by stamping, the stamping difficulty of the avoiding space is reduced, the forming process requirement of the fender is reduced, to a certain extent, the stamping cracking phenomenon caused by avoiding the mounting position of the functional part is avoided, and the stamping qualification rate is improved.

[0066] Specifically, for example, a part of the avoiding space of the mounting position can be formed on the first plate body 1, and the other part of the avoiding space of the mounting position can be formed on the second plate body, so that in the case that the overall structure of the avoiding space required by the mounting position is the same, the design difficulty and modeling difficulty of the avoiding space can be split and weakened, and the avoiding space is formed on the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 respectively, and then the two parts of the avoiding space are spliced and combined to form the whole avoiding space through the connection of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, thereby reducing the stamping difficulty of the avoiding space, avoiding the stamping cracking phenomenon caused by avoiding the mounting position in the stamping process, and improving the stamping qualification rate.

[0067] In other words, the part of the avoiding space is formed on the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 respectively, compared with the prior art of forming the whole avoiding space on the fender of the integrated structure by stamping, the stamping difficulty of the avoiding space is reduced, and the stamping qualification rate is improved.

[0068] At the same time, the design difficulty and production difficulty are reduced to a certain extent, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0069] By making the connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 have a avoiding space for avoiding the mounting position, that is, the fender is formed as a split structure at the position corresponding to the mounting position, the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 can be designed respectively according to different process requirements and modeling requirements, so that the design and manufacturing of the fender are more flexible.

[0070] In a specific implementation, the first plate body 1 can be punched from a metal plate, such as an aluminum alloy, which has high rigidity and strength.

[0071] The second plate body 2 can be punched from a metal plate, such as an aluminum alloy, which has high rigidity and strength.

[0072] The decorative part 3 can be formed by an injection molding process, for example. The decorative part 3 is a plastic decorative part 3, which is easy to form and light in weight, and is conducive to lightweight design. In addition, different design styles can be met.

[0073] The fender assembly provided in the embodiment has the following advantages. The fender is formed by connecting the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, the second plate body 2 is connected to one side of the first plate body 1, and the decorative part 3 is at least covered on the second plate body 2 and connected to the second plate body 2. The decorative part 3 is provided with a mounting position for mounting the functional part 6, the mounting position extends toward the second plate body 2, and the connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 has an avoiding space for avoiding the mounting position. Since the fender is formed by connecting the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, that is, the fender has a split structure, and the connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 has an avoiding space for avoiding the mounting position, that is, the fender is formed into a split structure from a position corresponding to the mounting position, and the connecting joint of the split structure has an avoiding space for the mounting position. Therefore, after the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 are punched and formed, they are connected together, and the avoiding space is formed at the connecting joint of the two to avoid the mounting position. Compared with the prior art, the forming difficulty of the avoiding space is reduced, and the phenomenon of cracking caused by avoiding the mounting position of the functional part 6 on the decorative part 3 in the punching process is avoided to a certain extent, the punching yield of the fender is improved, and the yield of the fender assembly is improved.

[0074] In a specific implementation, the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 can be arranged along the height direction of the vehicle body, the first plate body 1 is located at the top, the second plate body 2 is located at the bottom, and the second plate body 2 is connected to the bottom of the first plate body 1.

[0075] Of course, in other implementations, the first plate body and the second plate body can also be arranged along the length direction of the vehicle body, the first plate body is located at the side toward the front of the vehicle, the second plate body is located at the side toward the rear of the vehicle, and the second plate body is connected to the side toward the rear of the vehicle of the first plate body.

[0076] Reference Figures 1 to 13 As shown in the following embodiments, the first plate body 1 is located at the top, the second plate body 2 is located at the bottom, and the second plate body 2 is connected to the bottom of the first plate body 1.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first plate body 1 is provided with a first connecting portion 11, the second plate body 2 is provided with a second connecting portion 21, and the first plate body 1 is detachably connected with the second plate body 2 through cooperation of the first connecting portion 11 and the second connecting portion 21, which is convenient for assembly and replacement and maintenance.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 The first connecting portion 11 includes a first connecting hole, the second connecting portion 21 includes a second connecting hole, and the first plate body 1 is detachably connected through a fastener such as a bolt arranged in the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole, which is convenient and firm.

[0079] Meanwhile, if one of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is damaged, the damaged one can be replaced only by disassembling and separating the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, which not only improves the maintainability of the fender assembly, but also reduces the maintenance cost to a certain extent.

[0080] In specific implementation, the first plate body 1 can be provided with a plurality of first connecting holes, which are arranged on the side of the first plate body 1 facing the second plate body 2 along the circumference of the first plate body 1, and the side of the second plate body 2 facing the first plate body 1 is provided with a plurality of second connecting holes, one first connecting hole corresponding to one second connecting hole, so that the connection strength between the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is higher, thereby making the structure of the fender and the fender assembly stronger.

[0081] In other embodiments, the first plate body and the second plate body can be connected together in the form of buckling.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 7 The side of the first plate body 1 facing the second plate body 2 has a first flange 12, the first flange 12 extends at least along the width direction of the vehicle body to the side away from the trim 3, and the first flange 12 is connected with the second plate body 2 to form at least a partial avoiding space.

[0083] By arranging the first flange 12 on the bottom of the first plate body 1 and connecting the first flange 12 with the second plate body 2, the contact area of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is increased, the connection strength between the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is improved, and the structure of the fender is strong. Moreover, the structure is simple, the manufacturing is convenient, and the avoiding space is formed to avoid the installation position.

[0084] In specific implementation, the first connecting portion 11 on the first plate body 1 can be arranged on the first flange 12.

[0085] Since the first flange 12 extends at least along the width direction of the vehicle body towards the side away from the trim 3, i.e. the first flange 12 extends at least along the width direction of the vehicle body towards the side close to the vehicle body, and since the connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is arranged corresponding to the mounting position, after the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 are connected, the first flange 12 can be formed to a certain extent as an avoiding area of the mounting position, improving the practicability.

[0086] In specific implementation, the first flange 12 can also extend along the height direction of the vehicle body.

[0087] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the side of the second plate body 2 towards the first plate body 1 has a second flange 22, the second flange 22 extends at least along the width direction of the vehicle body towards the side close to the trim 3, and the second flange 22 is connected with the first plate body 1 to form at least partial avoiding space.

[0088] By arranging the second flange 22 on the top of the second plate body 2 and connecting the second flange 22 with the first plate body 1, not only the contact area of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is increased, but also the connecting strength between the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is improved, so that the structural strength of the fender is higher. Moreover, the structure is simple, the manufacturing is convenient, and the avoiding space is formed to avoid the mounting position.

[0089] In specific implementation, the second connecting part 21 on the second plate body 2 can be arranged on the second flange 22.

[0090] Since the second flange 22 extends at least along the width direction of the vehicle body towards the side close to the trim 3, i.e. the second flange 22 extends at least along the width direction of the vehicle body towards the side away from the vehicle body, and since the connecting joint of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 is arranged corresponding to the mounting position, after the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2 are connected, the second flange 22 can be formed to a certain extent as an avoiding area of the mounting position, improving the practicability.

[0091] In specific implementation, the second flange 22 can also extend along the height direction of the vehicle body.

[0092] In other embodiments, the bottom of the first plate body has the first flange, and the top of the second plate body also has the second flange, and the first flange and the second flange can be stacked and connected in the height direction of the vehicle body, so that the connecting strength between the first plate body and the second plate body is higher.

[0093] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 6 to 10 , Figure 12As shown, the side of the second plate body 2 facing the first plate body 1 is provided with a support frame 4, the support frame 4 extends towards the first plate body 1, and the support frame 4 and the first plate body 1 are stacked and connected in the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0094] By providing the support frame 4 on the top of the second plate body 2, and stacking and connecting the support frame 4 and the second plate body 2 in the width direction of the vehicle body, that is, the support frame 4 and the second plate body 2 have an overlapping area in the height direction of the vehicle body, and the two are connected together in the overlapping area, thereby increasing the contact area of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, and improving the connection strength and stability of the first plate body 1 and the second plate body 2, so that the fender and the fender assembly have higher structural strength and rigidity.

[0095] In specific implementation, the support frame 4 can extend in both the height direction of the vehicle body and the width direction of the vehicle body, which is convenient and stable to connect, and easy to assemble.

[0096] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the support frame 4 includes a first connecting section 41, a second connecting section 42, and a third connecting section 43. The first connecting section 41 is connected with the second plate body 2 and abuts against the side of the first plate body 1 away from the trim 3 in the width direction of the vehicle body; the second connecting section 42 is connected between the first connecting section 41 and the second connecting section 42, and forms a cavity with the first plate body 1; and the third connecting section 43 abuts against the side of the first plate body 1 away from the trim 3 in the width direction of the vehicle body.

[0097] In specific implementation, the first connecting section 41 extends at least in the height direction of the vehicle body, and the first connecting section 41 and the first plate body 1 are stacked and abut together in the width direction of the vehicle body, which is convenient and stable to connect.

[0098] In some implementations, the shape of the first connecting section 41 can be the same as the shape of the corresponding position of the first plate body 1, so that the first connecting section 41 has better adhesion with the first plate body 1, has a larger contact area, and has higher connection stability.

[0099] The side of the first connecting section 41 away from the second connecting section 42 can extend towards the direction away from the trim 3, so that the first connecting section 41 has an abutting section abutting against the first flange 12 or the second flange 22, thereby improving the structural strength of the fender.

[0100] In specific implementation, the second connecting section 42 is arranged spaced apart from the first plate body 1, and the second connecting section 42 and the first plate body 1 enclose a cavity, so that the cavity between the second connecting section 42 and the first plate body 1 forms a collapse space. If the fender assembly encounters a side impact, the cavity can buffer the impact force, thereby improving the side impact performance of the fender assembly and avoiding injury to the passengers in the vehicle body and cab to a certain extent, and the safety in use is higher.

[0101] In some implementations, the second connecting section 42 is provided with a lightening hole. On the one hand, this is conducive to the lightweight design of the fender assembly, and on the other hand, the design of the lightening hole increases the force transmission path, thereby further improving the side impact performance of the fender assembly.

[0102] In specific implementation, the third connecting section 43 extends at least along the height direction of the vehicle body, and the third connecting section 43 and the first plate body 1 are arranged in a stack and abut together along the width direction of the vehicle body, which is convenient and stable in connection.

[0103] The shape of the third connecting section 43 may, for example, be the same as the shape of the corresponding position of the first plate body 1, so that the third connecting section 43 and the first plate body 1 have good adhesion, a larger contact area, and higher connection stability.

[0104] In some embodiments, the support frame 4 is detachably connected to the first plate body 1. Thus, if one of the support frame 4 and the first plate body 1 is damaged, the support frame 4 and the first plate body 1 can be detached and separated, and the damaged support frame 4 or first plate body 1 can be replaced, thereby improving the convenience of replacement and maintenance and reducing the maintenance cost to a certain extent.

[0105] Of course, in other embodiments, the support frame and the first plate body may, for example, be connected together by welding.

[0106] In some embodiments, the support frame 4 is integrally formed with the second plate body 2, which has good integrity and high structural strength.

[0107] Of course, in other embodiments, the support frame may, for example, be welded to the second plate body.
