With this setting, while facilitating the connection of the support frame 1 with the front combination lamp 2 and the body side panel 13, by arranging a plurality of stepped portions 1011 in sequence, it is beneficial to improve the structural strength of the support frame 1.

[0048] Preferably, as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the support frame 1 includes a middle connecting member 105 in a "Ji" shape. The two ends of the middle connecting member 105 are respectively connected to two adjacent step portions 1011, and the top of the middle connecting member 105 is connected to the fender 6. By providing the middle connecting member 105 and connecting the top of the middle connecting member 105 to the fender 6, the middle connecting member 105 can provide support for the installation of the fender 6, which is beneficial to improving the installation strength and reducing the installation difficulty.

[0049] And the support frame 1 is arranged in a "Ji" shape, which is beneficial to improving the stress capacity of the fender 6, thus facilitating the improvement of the overall vehicle strength. In addition, during specific implementation, the middle connecting member 105 and the support plate 101 can be connected by welding, and the fender 6 and the middle connecting member 105 can be connected by the first connecting bolt 8 and the first plastic buckle 9. Among them, the first plastic buckle 9 is convenient for positioning the connection between the fender 6 and the middle connecting member 105. After positioning, the fender 6 and the middle connecting member 105 can be fixed by the first connecting bolt 8, with a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0050] As a preferred implementation manner, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, the support frame 1 includes an upper connecting member 104 provided at the rear end of the support plate 101. The upper connecting member 104 is connected to the fender 6, and one of its step portions 1011 is connected to the rear end of the front combination lamp 2. During specific implementation, the upper connecting member 104 and the support plate 101 can be connected by welding, and the upper connecting member 104 and the fender 6 can be connected by the second connecting bolt 10 and the second plastic buckle 11.
