[0034] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] The mudguard 100 and the vehicle proposed in the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1-8 As shown, according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the mudguard 100 includes: a mudguard body 1, the mudguard body 1 is mounted on the vehicle body and is disposed at a distance from the vehicle wheel 200, the mudguard body 1 is provided with a drain hole 11 extending through the thickness direction of the mudguard body 1, and at least one inclined baffle is provided in the drain hole, the inclined baffle dividing the drain hole into a plurality of drain channels.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, the fender body 1 is fixedly installed on the vehicle body by the fender 100 support, such as fixedly installed on the suspension support of the vehicle by bolts, and the fender body 1 is also arranged in opposite spacing with the wheel 200, so that the fender 100 does not affect the rotation of the wheel 200, and at the same time can block the stones, sand and water raised by the wheel 200 during the movement of the vehicle.

[0038] It should be noted that the fender 100 does not have a water drainage structure at present, when the vehicle drives in the water 300, if the depth of the water 300 is too high, the water 300 may block the fender 100, and the fender 100 will be subjected to a large water 300 resistance, thereby causing the fender 100 to be deformed greatly, and over time, the stress part of the fender 100 is prone to damage and failure.

[0039] Based on this, the water drainage hole 11 penetrating along the thickness direction of the fender body 1 is arranged on the fender body 1 in the application, and at least one inclined baffle 3 is arranged in the water drainage hole 11, and the inclined baffle 3 is used to separate the water drainage hole 11 into a plurality of water drainage channels 111, for example, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, two inclined baffles 3 are arranged in the water drainage hole 11, and the two inclined baffles 3 extend along the width direction of the fender body 1, and the two inclined baffles 3 are used to separate the water drainage hole 11 into three water drainage channels 111. It can be understood that when the vehicle drives in the water 300, if the depth of the water 300 is higher than the setting height of the water drainage channel 111, for example, continue to take Figure 3 As shown, if the depth of the water 300 is higher than the height of the lowermost water drainage channel 111, the water 300 will pass through the fender 100 from the lowermost water drainage channel 111 during the driving of the vehicle, if the depth of the water 300 is higher than the height of the lowermost and middle water drainage channel 111, the water 300 will pass through the fender 100 from the lowermost and middle water drainage channel 111 during the driving of the vehicle, if the depth of the water 300 is higher than the height of the three water drainage channels 111, the water 300 will pass through the fender 100 from the three water drainage channels 111 respectively during the driving of the vehicle, so as to weaken the resistance of the water 300 to the fender 100, and is beneficial to reduce the damage rate of the fender 100.

[0040] Further, the setting height of the water drainage hole 11 can be set as needed, which can be set at the lower end edge position of the fender 100, or can be set at the middle position of the fender 100, which is specifically set according to actual needs, and is not limited here.

[0041] Thus, by providing the water drainage hole 11 penetrating through the fender body 1 in the thickness direction of the fender body 1, and by providing at least one inclined baffle 3 in the water drainage hole 11, the water drainage hole 11 is divided into multiple water drainage passages 111. When the vehicle is running in the water 300, if the depth of the water 300 is higher than the height of the water drainage passage 111, the water 300 will pass through the fender 100 from the water drainage passage 111, thereby reducing the resistance of the water 300 to the fender 100 and reducing the damage rate of the fender 100.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the inclined baffle 3 is multiple, and the multiple inclined baffles 3 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the height direction of the fender body 1. That is, the multiple inclined baffles 3 can be configured as a louver structure. As a specific example, as shown in Figure 2 It can be understood that the inclination angle of the inclined baffle 3 can be adjusted, so as to be applicable to different water drainage requirements.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, the inclined baffle 3 and the fender body 1 are an integral molded part. That is, the inclined baffle 3 and the fender body 1 can be made of plastic material, and the inclined baffle 3 and the fender body 1 are integrally injection molded. Alternatively, the inclined baffle 3 and the fender body 1 can be made of metal material, and the inclined baffle 3 and the fender body 1 are integrally cast molded. The specific manufacturing method is not limited here.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, the water drainage hole 11 is multiple. That is, multiple water drainage holes 11 can be provided on the fender body 1, and the cross sections of the multiple water drainage holes 11 can be the same or different, and the multiple water drainage holes 11 can be at the same height or different heights. For example, the number of water drainage holes 11 can be set to 2, 3, 4, or 5, and the specific number is not limited here. In this way, by providing multiple water drainage holes 11, the water 300 passing through the fender 100 from the water drainage hole 11 is facilitated, thereby further reducing the resistance of the water 300 to the fender 100.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figures 4-7 The fender 100 further comprises a shielding member 2 movably provided on the fender body 1, and the shielding member 2 is movable to a first position or a second position relative to the fender body 1. When the road water 300 is higher than the water drainage passage 111, the shielding member 2 is moved to the first position to open the water drainage passage 111. When the road water 300 is lower than the water drainage passage 111 or there is no water 300 on the road, the shielding member 2 is moved to the second position to shield the water drainage passage 111.

[0046] Specifically, the fender 100 further comprises a shielding member 2, as shown in Figure 7 andFigure 8 As shown, when the road accumulated water 300 is higher than the water drainage channel 111, the shielding piece 2 moves to the first position (the dotted line position), the shielding piece 2 no longer shields the water drainage channel 111, and the accumulated water 300 on the left side of the mudguard 100 can pass through the mudguard 100 through the water drainage channel 111, thereby weakening the resistance of the accumulated water 300 to the mudguard 100; further, as shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the road accumulated water 300 is lower than the water drainage channel 111 or there is no accumulated water 300 on the road, the shielding piece 2 moves to the second position (the solid line position), the shielding piece 2 shields the water drainage channel 111, and the mudguard 100 has the same function as the ordinary mudguard 100. Stones, sand, ice, snow and water raised by the wheels 200 of the vehicle in motion cannot pass through the mudguard 100, but are directly discharged onto the ground 400, thereby realizing the normal protection function of the mudguard 100.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, the shielding piece 2 is a plurality of shielding pieces, and the plurality of shielding pieces 2 are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of water drainage channels 111. That is, a plurality of shielding pieces 2 corresponding one-to-one can be arranged according to the number of water drainage channels 111, and specifically, as shown, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, three water drainage channels 111 correspond to three shielding pieces 2, and the heights of the three water drainage channels 111 are different. When the road accumulated water 300 is higher than the corresponding water drainage channel 111, the corresponding shielding piece 2 is opened. For example, when the road accumulated water 300 is higher than the lowermost water drainage channel 111, the shielding piece 2 corresponding to the lowermost water drainage channel 111 is opened, and the upper two shielding pieces 2 shield the respective corresponding water drainage channels 111. When the road accumulated water 300 is higher than the middle water drainage channel 111, the shielding pieces 2 corresponding to the lowermost and middle water drainage channels 111 are opened, and the uppermost shielding piece 2 shields the respective corresponding water drainage channels 111. In this way, the requirement for weakening the resistance of the accumulated water 300 to the mudguard 100 can be met, and the normal protection function of the mudguard 100 can also be realized.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the shielding piece 2 is an integrally injection molded piece. That is, the shielding piece 2 can be made of EPDM material, and the shielding piece 2 is integrally injection molded. In this way, the shielding piece 2 deforms under the impact of the accumulated water 300, so that part of the shielding piece 2 can move to the first position or the second position. Specifically, as shown, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, when the road accumulated water 300 is higher than the water drainage passage 111, the shielding piece 2 is deformed under the impact of the accumulated water 300, the free end of the shielding piece 2 moves to the first position (the dotted line position), the shielding piece 2 no longer shields the water drainage passage 111, and the accumulated water 300 on the left side of the mudguard 100 can pass through the mudguard 100 through the water drainage passage 111, thereby weakening the resistance of the accumulated water 300 to the mudguard 100, and at the same time, as shown, Figure 8 As shown, the shielding piece 2 also has a certain shielding effect on the accumulated water 300, and the accumulated water 300 flows to the ground 400 after passing through the mudguard body 1 and does not splash upward; further, as shown, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the road accumulated water 300 is lower than the water drainage passage 111 or there is no accumulated water 300 on the road, the shielding piece 2 returns to the original position, the free end of the shielding piece 2 moves to the second position (the solid line position), the shielding piece 2 shields the water drainage passage 111, so that the functional requirements of the shielding piece 2 are met, and cost savings are also beneficial.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present application, it further comprises a splash guard, which is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the mudguard body 1. That is, the lower end of the mudguard body 1 is also fixedly provided with a splash guard, and the splash guard is equivalent to extending the length of the mudguard body 1, so that the splash guard can better shield the stones, sand, ice, snow and water raised by the wheels 200 during vehicle movement.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, it further comprises a splash guard pressing plate, which is fixedly arranged on the mudguard body 1, and the splash guard is clamped between the splash guard pressing plate and the mudguard body 1. That is, the splash guard is fixedly installed on the mudguard body 1 through the splash guard pressing plate, so that the installation strength of the splash guard is improved, and the risk of the splash guard falling off is reduced.

[0051] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the second aspect embodiment of the present application proposes a vehicle comprising the mudguard 100 of the first aspect embodiment.

[0052] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application, the water drainage hole 11 penetrating along the thickness direction of the mudguard body 1 is arranged on the mudguard body 1, at least one inclined baffle 3 is arranged in the water drainage hole 11, the inclined baffle 3 divides the water drainage hole 11 into a plurality of water drainage passages 111, when the vehicle drives in the accumulated water 300, if the depth of the accumulated water 300 is higher than the height of the water drainage passage 111, the accumulated water 300 will pass through the mudguard 100 through the water drainage passage 111, thereby weakening the resistance of the accumulated water 300 to the mudguard 100, and reducing the breakage rate of the mudguard 100.
