[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] The present embodiment relates to a front vehicle body side structure, which can improve the installation rigidity of the fender, help to ensure the gap surface difference between the fender and the side panel, and improve the fender's anti-deformation ability, thereby improving the structural stability and appearance of the entire vehicle.

[0038] In terms of overall structure, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the front vehicle body side structure of this embodiment includes a mounting bracket 10 for mounting a fender, wherein the mounting bracket 10 includes two support arms 11 and a top plate 12 connected to the two support arms 11.

[0039] Secondly, both arms 11 are bent and have a vertically arranged first portion 111 and a horizontally arranged second portion 112. The first portions 111 in the two arms 11 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second portions 112 in the two arms 11 are arranged opposite to each other. The top plate 12 is connected between the tops of the two first portions 111.

[0040] In addition, a fender mounting point is provided on the top plate 12 , the mounting bracket 10 is fixed in the vehicle body 20 via two second parts 112 , and a first connecting structure is provided between the edges of the two first parts 111 to connect the middle and lower parts of the two parts together.

[0041] It can be understood that by providing the first connecting structure in the middle and lower parts between the two first parts 111, it is easy to cooperate with the top plate 12 to form a box-like structure, and then use the high strength of the box structure to enhance the structural rigidity of the mounting bracket 10, thereby improving the installation rigidity of the fender.

[0042] Of course, in addition to setting the first connecting structure in the middle and lower parts of the two first parts 111 in this embodiment, it can also be set and adjusted according to the actual structural strength requirements of the installation bracket 10. For example, the first connecting structure is only set in the middle or lower part of the two to achieve the effect of increasing the overall structural strength of the installation bracket 10.

[0043] Based on the above overall introduction, specifically, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two second parts 112 both have outwardly turned fixed flanges 1121 , and the two second parts 112 are both fixed in the vehicle body 20 via the corresponding fixed flanges 1121 .

[0044] Here, by setting the fixed flange 1121, it is easy to realize the fixed setting of the second part 112 in the vehicle body 20. In the specific structure, the fixed flange 1121 can be fixed to the wheel house side beam and the side wall connecting plate in the vehicle body 20 to achieve a stable connection with the vehicle body 20.

[0045] Moreover, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, each fixing flange 1121 is fixed in the vehicle body 20 by a screw connection structure. The advantage of such a setting is that it can make the structure simple, easy to operate, and can ensure the reliability of fixing the mounting bracket 10 in the vehicle body 20.

[0046] The above-mentioned screw connection structure can be realized by conventional bolts. In order to realize the screw connection between each fixed flange 1121 and the vehicle body 20, in the specific structure, screw connection holes 1124 for the bolts to pass through are also provided on the vehicle body 20 and each fixed flange 1121.

[0047] In addition, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a first reinforcing rib 1111 arranged vertically is provided on the first part 111, and a second reinforcing rib 1122 arranged horizontally is provided on the second part 112. Among the respective arms 11, the top of the first reinforcing rib 1111 extends to the top plate 12.

[0048] It can be understood that by providing the first reinforcing rib 1111 and the second reinforcing rib 1122, the structural strength of the first part 111 and the second part 112 can be increased, thereby improving the overall stiffness of the mounting bracket 10, and thus enhancing the mounting stability of the fender and the appearance refinement between the fender and the side panel.

[0049] At the same time, also as a preferred implementation form, in this embodiment, the first reinforcing rib 1111 and the second reinforcing rib 1122 intersect. The advantage of such a setting is that it is more conducive to enhancing the structural strength at the connection of the first part 111 and the second part 112.

[0050] During specific implementation, the above-mentioned first reinforcing rib 1111 can be formed by bulging from the first part 111 of one arm 11 to one side of another arm 11, and the second reinforcing rib 1122 can be formed by bulging from the second part 112 of one arm 11 to one side of another arm 11.

[0051] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a second connection structure for connecting the two second parts 112 together is provided between the two second parts 112, and the two second parts 112 and the second connection structure together form a structure similar to a "Ji" character.

[0052] By providing the second connection structure and making the two second parts 112 and the second connection structure form a structure similar to a "Ji" character, the characteristic of the large strength of the "Ji" character structure can be utilized to increase the structural strength at the position where the second part 112 is located, which is conducive to improving the stiffness of the mounting bracket 10.

[0053] It should be noted that the "Ji" character shape in this embodiment means that the overall structure formed by the two second parts 112 and the second connection structure generally presents a "Ji" character shape visually, rather than the strict Chinese character "Ji". During specific implementation, the overall structure formed by the two second parts 112 and the second connection structure also has a trend that is convenient for installation and matches the vehicle body 20, etc.

[0054] Secondly, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the second connection structure includes second connection plates 1123 respectively arranged at the edges of each second part 112, and the two second connection plates 1123 are welded together. Thus, the structure can be simple, easy to shape, and the connection is reliable.

[0055] In addition, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, first connection structures are provided on both sides of each first part 111 , and the first connection structure on one side is located between the middle parts of the two first parts 111 , and the first connection structure on the other side is located between the lower parts of the two first parts 111 .

[0056] By respectively arranging the first connection structure between the middle and lower parts on both sides of the first part 111, the box structure formed at the position where the first part 111 is located can have better rigidity, thereby facilitating improving the overall rigidity of the mounting bracket 10, so that the fender has a good installation effect.

[0057] At the same time, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the first connection structure includes first connection plates 1112 respectively arranged at the edges of each first part 111, and the two first connection plates 1112 are welded to each other.

[0058] It can be understood that the first connection structure uses the first connection plate 1112 connected by welding, which has the same effect as the above-mentioned second connection structure and also has the advantages of simple structure, easy molding, and reliable connection.

[0059] Based on the requirements of fender installation strength, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a reinforcing flange 123 is provided at the edge of the top plate 12 , and connecting flanges 1113 are provided at the edges of the two first parts 111 close to the top plate 12 , and the two connecting flanges 1113 are welded to the reinforcing flange 123 .

[0060] The advantage of such a configuration is that the rigidity of the top plate 12 can be effectively improved by self-welding, which helps to improve the reliability of fender installation.

[0061] In specific implementation, in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation form, the fender mounting point includes a fender mounting hole 121 provided on the top plate 12 , and a projection welding nut 122 provided on the top plate 12 corresponding to the fender mounting hole 121 .

[0062] Here, the fender mounting point adopts the matching structure of the fender mounting hole 121 and the projection welding nut 122, which can facilitate the installation operation of the fender and ensure the stability of the fender installation.

[0063] Of course, in order to facilitate the installation of the fender, in addition to adopting the above-mentioned fender mounting hole 121 and the projection welding nut 122 matching structure, the fender mounting point of this embodiment can also adopt a structure in which a projection welding bolt is set on the top plate 12 as a preferred implementation form, which can also facilitate the installation operation of the fender and ensure the stability of the fender installation.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that in the present embodiment, in order to enhance the rigidity of the mounting bracket 10 and realize its lightweight design, weight-reducing holes may be provided on the mounting bracket 10 when necessary. For example, weight-reducing holes may be provided on the top plate 12, the reinforcing flange 123 and one of the first connecting plates 1112.

[0065] In addition, it should be noted that the expressions related to directions in this embodiment are only exemplary descriptions of this embodiment. In specific implementation, the expressions of directions in this embodiment vary with the different directions in which the mounting bracket 10 is set, that is, the directions in this embodiment refer to a relative coordinate system based on the mounting bracket 10.

[0066] The front vehicle body side structure of the present embodiment can cooperate with the top plate 12 between the tops of the two first parts 111 by setting a first connecting structure between the two first parts 111, so that the positions of the two first parts 111 are similar to a box structure as a whole. In this way, the high strength of the box structure can be utilized to increase the rigidity of the mounting bracket 10, improve the installation rigidity of the fender, and further help to ensure the gap surface difference between the fender and the side panel, which is beneficial to improve the deformation resistance of the fender, thereby enhancing the user experience of using the car.

[0067] Embodiment 2

[0068] This embodiment relates to a vehicle, in which a body 20 of the vehicle is provided with the front body side structure of the first embodiment.

[0069] The vehicle of this embodiment, by setting the front body side structure of embodiment 1 in the body 20, can ensure the gap surface difference between the fender and the side panel, and is beneficial to improving the deformation resistance of the fender, thereby improving the appearance and structural stability of the front part of the body 20, so that the whole vehicle has better quality and market competitiveness.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
