[0031] like Figures 1 to 3, 5 and 8, in the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a connecting member 1, which can pass through the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3 in sequence, and is used to fix the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3, and fix the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3 together by rotating. When it is necessary to remove the wheel eyebrow 2 or the fender 3, the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3 are removed by rotating in the opposite direction.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , 8 and 9, the connecting member 1 includes a columnar connecting portion 11, a toggle portion 12 connected to the connecting portion 11 and at least one abutting portion 13, the toggle portion 12 extends in the horizontal direction to facilitate the toggle of the connecting member 1 as a whole; the abutting portion 13 is located on the peripheral side of the connecting portion 11 and is bent to reduce the stress deformation of the connecting member 1 during rotation, the connecting portion 11 is used to pass through the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3, the toggle portion 12 is located on the side of the wheel eyebrow 2 away from the fender 3, and the abutting portion 13 is located on the side of the fender 3 away from the wheel eyebrow 2, driving the toggle portion 12 can drive the connecting member 1 to rotate, so that the toggle portion 12 and the abutting portion 13 respectively abut against the side of the wheel eyebrow 2 away from the fender 3 and the side of the fender 3 away from the wheel eyebrow 2, so that the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3 do not need to be connected by screws or welding, and the connecting member 1 provided in the embodiment of the present application can realize the connection or disassembly of the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3, and the installation and disassembly are simple, which improves efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, optionally, two abutting portions 13 are provided, and the two abutting portions 13 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting column. By providing two abutting portions 13, the contact area between the abutting portion 13 and the fender 3 can be increased, thereby improving the stability between the fender 3 and the wheel eyebrow 2.

[0034] like Figure 3 , 5 As shown in FIG. 9 , as an embodiment, the toggle portion 12 and the abutting portion 13 are on the same vertical plane, that is, the toggle portion 12 and the abutting portion 13 are passed by the same vertical plane, so that the abutting portion 13 can abut on one side of the fender 3 at the same rotation angle as the toggle portion 12. For example, when the connector 1 is in the initial position, the toggle portion 12 is rotated 90 degrees, and the abutting portion 13 is also rotated 90 degrees, so that the toggle portion 12 and the abutting portion 13 abut on one side of the wheel arch 2 and the fender 3 respectively.

[0035] like Figure 1 , 5As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9 , as an embodiment, the connecting member 1 includes a baffle 14 for fitting with the wheel arch 2, and the baffle 14 extends outward along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion 11, thereby increasing the direct contact area between the connecting member 1 and the wheel arch 2, and improving the stability between the wheel arch 2 and the fender 3; at the same time, it also serves as a stop for the connecting member 1 to prevent the connecting column from passing through the wheel arch 2 completely.

[0036] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in and 9, in the second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a mounting structure for a wheel eyebrow and a fender, including a connecting member 1 for fixing the wheel eyebrow and the fender provided in the first aspect, a plurality of first mounting holes 21 are provided on the wheel eyebrow 2; a plurality of second mounting holes 31 corresponding to the first mounting holes 21 are provided at the position where the fender 3 is connected to the wheel eyebrow 2, the connecting portion 11 passes through the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31, the toggle portion 12 is located on the side of the wheel eyebrow 2 away from the fender 3, and the abutting portion 13 is located on the side of the fender 3 away from the wheel eyebrow 2, the toggle portion 12 is rotated so that the connecting member 1 can detachably connect the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency between the fender 3 and the wheel eyebrow 2.

[0037] Optionally, the first mounting hole 21 and the second mounting hole 31 may both be rectangular, so as to facilitate the passage of the abutting portion 13 .

[0038] like Figure 1 , 6 As shown in FIG8 , as an embodiment, the wheel eyebrow 2 includes a rib 23 protruding from the side away from the fender 3, the rib 23 is arranged around the first mounting hole 21, and the end face of the rib 23 is an inclined surface; the toggle portion 12 rotates along the inclined surface to increase the clamping force of the toggle portion 12 and the abutting portion 13 to clamp the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3, thereby improving the stability between the fender 3 and the wheel eyebrow 2.

[0039] Optionally, the rib 23 is spaced apart from the first mounting hole 21 , so as to facilitate the manufacturing and forming of the main body of the fender 2 .

[0040] Optionally, the blocking piece 14 and the toggle portion 12 are spaced apart, and the distance of the spacing is the lowest height of the rib 23 , so that when the blocking piece 14 fits against the wheel eyebrow 2 , the wheel eyebrow 2 can abut against the inclined surface and rotate along the inclined surface.

[0041] like Figure 1 and 6 As shown, as an embodiment, the rib 23 is an arc-shaped structure, and the middle side wall height of the rib 23 is higher than the side wall heights on both sides, so that the toggle portion 12 can be selectively rotated from both sides of the rib 23 to the middle position to increase the clamping force of the toggle portion 12 and the abutting portion 13 to clamp the wheel arch 2 and the fender 3.

[0042] Of course, in some cases, the rib 23 can also be designed so that the height of the middle side wall is lower than the height of the side walls on both sides, so that the toggle portion 12 can selectively rotate toward the side wall direction on either side of the rib 23 .

[0043] like Figure 1 and 6 As shown, as an implementation mode, two convex ribs 231 are provided on the inclined surface at intervals. By providing the two convex ribs 231, the rotation of the toggle part 12 can be limited, thereby improving the stability of the structure.

[0044] Optionally, the two ribs 231 are arranged at the highest position adjacent to the side wall. Since the highest position of the side wall of the rib 23 is the locking position of the toggle part 12 , the two ribs 231 are arranged at the highest position adjacent to the side wall to stop the toggle part 12 from rotating.

[0045] like Figure 1 and 9 As shown, as an implementation mode, the blocking piece 14 is attached to the four sides of the first mounting hole 21 , thereby increasing the contact area between the blocking piece 14 and the wheel arch 2 , and further improving the stability between the wheel arch 2 and the fender 3 .

When the connecting member 1 is rotated to connect the wheel eyebrow 2 with the fender 3, the stopper 15 can slide from one side of the protrusions 22 to between the two protrusions 22. After the connecting member 1 connects the wheel eyebrow 2 with the fender 3, the stopper 15 is also located between the two protrusions 22. The two protrusions 22 can stop the stopper 15 and limit the rotation of the connecting portion 11, so as to improve the stability of the mounting structure of the wheel eyebrow 2 and the fender 3.

[0047] Optionally, two protrusions 22 are respectively provided on the two hole walls along the length direction of the first mounting hole 21, and two corresponding stop portions 15 are also provided, so that each stop portion 15 can be located between the corresponding two protrusions 22, thereby improving the stability between the fender 3 and the wheel eyebrow 2.

[0048] Optionally, in order to further improve the structural stability between the wheel arch 2 and the fender 3, a plurality of additional snap fasteners may be provided between the wheel arch 2 and the fender 3. Compared with connecting by screws or welding, providing snap fasteners can also improve the efficiency of installation and disassembly between the fender 3 and the wheel arch 2.

[0049] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, which is equipped with the wheel eyebrow and fender mounting structure provided in the second aspect. The vehicle adopts the wheel eyebrow and fender mounting structure provided in the second aspect, which can improve the installation and removal efficiency between the fender 3 and the wheel eyebrow 2.
