[0024] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed at will, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 A wheel eyebrow mounting structure shown in the figure includes a side outer panel 1, a wheel drum outer panel 2 and a wheel eyebrow 3, the side outer panel 1 includes a side outer panel body and a first wheel eyebrow mounting edge 13 connected to the side of the side outer panel body close to the wheel, and a plurality of first mounting holes 14 are provided on the first wheel eyebrow mounting edge 13, the wheel drum outer panel 2 includes a wheel drum outer panel body and a first overlapping edge 21 connected to the side of the wheel drum outer panel body close to the wheel, the first overlapping edge 21 overlaps the first wheel eyebrow mounting edge 13, and the wheel eyebrow 3 is connected to the first wheel eyebrow mounting edge 13 through a plurality of first mounting holes 14, and a first sealing member is provided between the side outer panel body and the wheel drum outer panel body, and the first sealing member forms a seal on the periphery of the first wheel eyebrow mounting edge 13.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the first sealing member forms a seal on the periphery of the first fender mounting edge 13, so that the sealing requirement between the first fender mounting edge 13 and the first overlapping edge 21 can be reduced or even eliminated. That is to say, the rubber extrusion surface between the first fender mounting edge 13 and the first overlapping edge 21 can be reduced or even eliminated, which can greatly reduce the width of the first fender mounting edge 13, and further greatly reduce the width of the fender 3, so that the fender 3 with an extremely narrow appearance can be realized.

[0027] The above technical solution adopts a structural design in which the sealing part and the overlapping part are separated, which can not only reduce the width of the wheel eyebrow 3 and ensure the installation stability of the wheel eyebrow 3, but also ensure the airtightness and corrosion resistance of the wheel eyebrow installation structure.

[0028] In some embodiments, a glue groove 23 that is recessed toward the interior of the vehicle is provided on the outer panel body of the wheel bulge, and the first sealing member is a sealing colloid filled in the glue groove 23. The above-mentioned technical solution is adopted to accommodate the sealant by providing a glue groove 23 on the outer panel body of the wheel bulge, and the appearance of the side outer panel 1 will not be affected. As a specific example, a glue cavity for accommodating the sealant is formed between the glue groove 23 and the side outer panel 1, and the sealant filled in the glue cavity can form the above-mentioned sealing colloid. Obviously, in the specific implementation, the first sealing member can also adopt other components or structures, such as rubber sealing strips and other components with sealing properties.

[0029] As a preferred example, the glue groove 23 is a strip groove extending along the circumference of the wheel, and the length of the glue groove 23 is set corresponding to the length of the first overlap edge 21 and / or the first fender mounting edge 13, so that the first seal can form a good seal around the periphery of the first fender mounting edge 13. By adopting the long strip glue groove 23, the first seal that forms a seal around the periphery of the first fender mounting edge 13 can be formed by applying glue once.

[0030] In some embodiments, a liquid leakage channel connected to the glue groove 23 is provided between the wheel drum outer plate 2 and the side outer plate 1. By providing the liquid leakage channel, the electrophoresis quality at the glue groove 23 can be ensured. As a specific example, a recess 24 is provided on the first overlap edge 21, and the above-mentioned liquid leakage channel is formed between the recess 24 and the side outer plate 1.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first overlapping edge 21 and the first fender mounting edge 13 are fixedly connected by welding. In a specific implementation, the first overlapping edge 21 and the first fender mounting edge 13 can be fixedly connected by spot welding, and welding can ensure the stability of the connection between the first overlapping edge 21 and the first fender mounting edge 13. As a preferred example, the first overlapping edge 21 and the first fender mounting edge 13 are overlapped and fixedly connected by spot welding to achieve the overlap of the first overlapping edge 21 and the first fender mounting edge 13.

The fender 3 is fixedly connected to the first fender mounting edge 13 by engaging the first buckle 32 with the first mounting hole 14, which has the characteristic of easy assembly. In specific implementation, the first buckle 32 can be a standard part installed on the fender body 31, and the first buckle 32 can also be connected to the fender body 31 as a whole. It should be noted that, since the utility model arranges the first sealing member outside the first fender mounting edge 13, even if the first fender mounting edge 13 and the fender 3 are fixedly connected by a buckling method, and the first fender mounting edge 13 and the first lap edge 21 are connected by spot welding, the width of the first fender mounting edge 13 can be greatly reduced, thereby greatly reducing the width of the fender.

[0033] In some embodiments, a plurality of avoidance holes 22 are provided on the first overlap edge 21, each of which is used to avoid a plurality of first buckles 32. The avoidance holes 22 can ensure smooth assembly of the first buckles 32.

[0034] In some embodiments, the edge of the first lap edge 21 close to the wheel side is the first edge 27, the edge of the first fender mounting edge 13 close to the wheel side is the second edge 17, the first edge 27 is closer to the wheel than the second edge 17, a second seal is provided between the first edge 27 and the first lap edge 21, and the second seal forms a seal between the first edge 27 and the first lap edge 21. With the above technical solution, the second seal and the first seal can form two seals to ensure the sealing performance at the fender mounting structure. In addition, the second seal can be formed by applying sealant from the outside of the vehicle, which is easy to operate. As a specific example, the second seal is a sealing colloid provided between the first edge 27 and the first lap edge 21.

[0035] In some embodiments, the side outer panel 1 further includes a second fender mounting edge 15 connected to the side of the side outer panel body close to the wheel, a plurality of second mounting holes 16 are arranged on the second fender mounting edge 15, the fender 3 is connected to the second fender mounting edge 15 through the plurality of second mounting holes 16, the second fender mounting edge 15 and the first fender mounting edge 13 are staggered in the circumferential direction of the wheel, and the width of the second fender mounting edge 15 is greater than the width of the first fender mounting edge 13. By adopting the above technical solution, a second fender mounting edge 15 with a larger width can be arranged in a part of the non-exterior surface area of ​​the side outer panel 1, which will not hinder the reduction of the width of the fender 3 and can reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the side outer panel 1.

[0036] As a preferred example, the first fender mounting edge 13 is disposed at a position corresponding to the exterior surface 11 of the side outer panel 1 , and the second fender mounting edge 15 is disposed at a position corresponding to the door frame region 12 of the side outer panel 1 .
