Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle protection, in particular to a vehicle protection assembly and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to protect key components such as the engine oil pan, gearbox, fuel pipeline and wheel hub from being damaged by road obstacles, vehicles are usually provided with a protection structure to form protection at the bottom. In related technologies, some vehicles are usually provided with a chassis protection structure to protect the chassis area, and some are provided with a wheel cover to protect the wheel area, but the protection effect is limited. In this regard, some vehicles use a combination of a wheel cover and a chassis protection structure to achieve a more comprehensive protection effect.

[0003] However, in related technologies, the wheel cover and the chassis protection structure are usually independently separated and arranged, and there is a large gap between the wheel cover and the chassis protection structure. This will cause a protection blind area at the bottom of the vehicle, and sand and other debris may enter the gap to damage the chassis components. In addition, during driving, the airflow is prone to separation and turbulence in the gap, which cannot adhere to the vehicle body and flow, increasing the resistance. At the same time, the separation of the wheel cover and the chassis protection member may produce superimposed noise, affecting the performance of the vehicle. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, one object of the present application is to provide a vehicle protection assembly, in which the wheel cover and the chassis protection plate are connected to form complete protection, thereby improving the protection effect and related performance.
