[0035] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the fender assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model includes a fender 11 , a fender box 12 , a hook 13 and a cover 14 .
[0037] The fender 11 is provided with an opening 111, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the material of the fender 11 may be plastic, the fender 11 as a whole may be in a semicircular arc shape, and the opening 111 may be disposed at the front upper portion of the fender 11 .
[0038] The fender box 12 is disposed in the fender 11 and is arranged opposite to the opening 111. Figure 1 As shown, the mudguard box 12 can be a box-shaped structure as a whole, and the extension direction of the mudguard box 12 can be consistent with the extension direction of the mudguard 11, and the mudguard box 12 also has a certain curvature, so that it can match the curvature of the mudguard 11 after being installed on the mudguard 11.
[0039] The mud guard box 12 can be fixed to the bottom of the mud guard 11 by fasteners such as screws, and the box opening of the mud guard box 12 is arranged to face upward. When the mud guard box 12 and the mud guard 11 are installed and fixed, the box opening of the mud guard box 12 can be arranged opposite to the above-mentioned opening 111 in the up and down direction, thereby facilitating the exposure of the hook 13.
[0040] The hook member 13 is fixed in the fender box 12, and the hook member 13 includes a hook portion 131, at least a portion of the hook portion 131 is exposed from the opening 111 and is used to hook and cooperate with the setting component. Figure 1 As shown, the hook member 13 can be fixed in the mud guard box 12 by a screw fastener, and a hook portion 131 can be integrally formed on the hook member 13, and the hook portion 131 is a curved hook structure. When the mud guard box 12 and the mud guard 11 are installed and fixed, the hook portion 131 can be exposed or extended from the opening 111, thereby meeting the use requirements of hooking and cooperating with the setting component.
[0041] It should be noted that the setting components can be components such as hooks and hanging rings 24 on the vertical pipe assembly of the mobility scooter, thereby meeting the need for connecting and fixing the folded mobility scooter.
[0042] The cover 14 is rotatably mounted in the fender box 12, and the cover 14 is used to block the opening 111 when the hook portion 131 is not hooked with the setting component. Figure 1 As shown, the cover body 14 can be an arc-shaped plate as a whole, and the cover body 14 can be pivotally assembled in the fender box 12. The rotation axis of the cover body 14 can be arranged along the left-right direction, so that the cover body 14 can swing in the up-down direction.
[0043] When the setting component is hooked with the hook member 13, Figure 3 As shown, the cover 14 can swing downward under the pushing action of the setting component, so that the hook 13 can be fully exposed and hooked. When the hook 131 is not hooked with the hook 13, the cover 14 can swing upward to block the opening 111, thereby preventing impurities from entering the fender box 12 through the opening 111.
[0044] The fender assembly 100 and the hook 13 of the embodiment of the utility model are assembled on the fender 11, which avoids the situation in the prior art that they are easily installed on the frame and easily occupy more assembly space, realizes integration with the fender 11, and also utilizes the original arc space in the fender 11, thereby improving space utilization and ensuring the overall appearance.
[0045] The mud guard box 12 can shield and protect the hook 13, the cover 14, etc., and isolate impurities such as mud and water, thereby preventing impurities from touching the hook 13 and other components, and ensuring the stability of the use state.
[0046] In some embodiments, a waterproof groove is provided in the mud guard box 12 , and in the circumferential direction of the mud guard 11 , the hook 13 is arranged adjacent to one end of the mud guard box 12 , and the waterproof groove is provided at the other end of the mud guard box 12 .
[0047] For example, the mud guard box 12 can generally extend in a direction from front to back, the hook 13 can be assembled at the front end of the mud guard box 12, and the waterproof groove can be integrally formed at the rear end of the mud guard box 12, and the waterproof groove can generally be a rectangular groove. Since the rear end of the mud guard box 12 is more likely to accumulate mud and water than the front end, the waterproof isolation effect can be further enhanced by arranging the waterproof groove at the rear end.
[0048] In some embodiments, a partition 123 is provided in the mud guard box 12 , which divides the inner cavity of the mud guard box 12 into a first cavity 121 and a second cavity 122 . The hook 13 and the cover 14 are both assembled in the first cavity 121 , and the second cavity 122 forms a waterproof groove.
[0049] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the partition 123 can be integrally formed with the fender box 12, the partition 123 can be a rectangular plate, the first cavity 121 can be located at the front side of the partition 123, and the second cavity 122 can be located at the rear side of the partition 123. In the extension direction of the fender box 12, the length dimension of the first cavity 121 is much larger than the length dimension of the second cavity 122, so that the first cavity 121 can provide sufficient assembly space for the assembly of the hook 13 and the cover 14. The second cavity 122 can be constructed as the waterproof groove, so as to avoid muddy water and the like entering the first cavity 121 to affect the hook 13, the cover 14, etc., and also avoid the impurities contacting the subsequent first elastic member 16 to cause the first elastic member 16 to be stuck, resulting in the cover 14 turning over unsmoothly and easy to make abnormal noise.
[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the fender 11 is a rear fender 11 of a vehicle, the first cavity 121 and the second cavity 122 are arranged in sequence in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the second cavity 122 is located at the rear side of the first cavity 121 .
[0051] In some embodiments, the mud guard box 12 is connected to the mud guard 11 by fasteners, and at least part of the fasteners pass through the waterproof groove. For example, the mud guard box 12 can be installed below the mud guard 11 by self-tapping screws (fasteners), wherein the front end of the mud guard box 12 can be fixed to the mud guard 11 by two self-tapping screws, and the rear end of the mud guard box 12 can be fixed to the mud guard 11 by another two self-tapping screws. The two rear self-tapping screws can be arranged vertically, and the two self-tapping screws can pass through the waterproof groove and be connected to the mud guard 11.
[0052] Since there may be a certain gap between the self-tapping screws and the mud guard box 12, the self-tapping screws are arranged in the waterproof groove. In this way, even if impurities such as water enter the waterproof box, they will only be located in the space of the waterproof groove and will not enter the first cavity 121 in the front, further ensuring the waterproof effect.
[0053] In some embodiments, a plurality of ribs 112 are disposed on the inner side of the fender 11 , at least some of the ribs 112 protrude toward the fender box 12 , and the ribs 112 are used to reduce the distance between the fender 11 and the outer surface of the fender box 12 to enhance waterproofing.
[0054] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the ribs 112 may be integrally formed on the inner side of the fender 11 , and the ribs 112 may be vertically arranged along the up-down direction. The ribs 112 may play a role in enhancing the structural strength of the fender 11 .
[0055] Secondly, when the mud guard box 12 is installed under the mud guard 11, a portion of the rib 112 can directly contact the outer side surface of the mud guard box 12, thereby forming a seal between the rib 112 and the mud guard box 12, thereby further preventing mud and water from entering the waterproof box.
[0056] In some embodiments, the fender assembly 100 includes a first elastic member 16, and the cover body 14 is rotatably assembled in the fender box 12 via a first shaft 15. The first elastic member 16 acts between the fender box 12 and the cover body 14, and the first elastic member 16 is used to apply an elastic force to the cover body 14 so that the cover body 14 has a movement tendency to block the opening 111.
[0057] For example, Figure 1As shown, the first shaft 15 can be arranged to extend in the left-right direction, the left end of the first shaft 15 can be fixedly connected to the box wall on the left side of the mud guard box 12, and the right end of the first shaft 15 can be fixedly connected to the box wall on the right side of the mud guard box 12. The rear side of the cover body 14 can be provided with a through hole that penetrates the cover body 14 in the left-right direction, and the first shaft 15 can be assembled in the through hole. When in use, the cover body 14 can rotate around the first shaft 15.
[0058] The first elastic member 16 may be a torsion spring, and the first elastic member 16 may be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the first shaft 15. One end of the first elastic member 16 may be fixed or abutted against the fender box 12, and the other end of the first elastic member 16 may be fixed or abutted against the cover body 14. Under normal conditions, the first elastic member 16 may apply an upward elastic force to the cover body 14, and the cover body 14 may swing upward under the action of the elastic force, so that the cover body 14 may be kept at a position to block the opening 111.
[0059] It should be noted that when the hook member 13 needs to be hooked with the setting component, the setting component can press the cover body 14 downward, thereby overcoming the force of the first elastic member 16 and moving the cover body 14 down from the opening 111, meeting the need for hooking with the hook member 13.
[0060] In some embodiments, the fender 11 is provided with stoppers on both sides in the width direction of the fender 11 , and the first shaft 15 is located between the stoppers on both sides of the fender 11 , and the stoppers are used to stop the ends of the first shaft 15 to prevent the first shaft 15 from detaching from the fender box 12 .
[0061] For example, both sides of the fender 11 may be provided with flanges arranged vertically in the vertical direction, and the flanges may form the above-mentioned stopper. When the cover 14 is assembled under the fender 11 through the first shaft 15, the left end of the first shaft 15 may be stopped and limited by the flange on the left side, and the right end of the first shaft 15 may be stopped and limited by the flange on the right side, thereby preventing the first shaft 15 from moving left and right and falling out of the fender box 12.
[0062] In some embodiments, a nut 132 is preset in the hook member 13, and the nut 132 is used to connect with the fixing member to detachably fix the hook member 13 in the fender box 12. Figure 3 As shown, the nut member 132 can be specifically an M5 copper nut, and the nut member 132 can be fixed to the bottom side of the hook member 13 by integral injection molding or the like. The fixing member can be a bolt, a screw, etc. When assembling the mud guard box 12 and the hook member 13, the fixing member can be passed through the mud guard box 12 and threadedly assembled with the nut member 132 on the hook member 13, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the hook member 13.
