Figure 1 In the example shown, both the F1 end and the F2 end of the second body segment 21 are connected to the second narrowed segment 22 .

[0033] It should be noted that the “vertical distance” mentioned in this application refers to the minimum distance between two plates.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, reference Figure 1 As shown, the first body section 11 and the second body section 21 are arranged oppositely, the first narrowing section 12 and the second narrowing section 22 at the corresponding end are arranged oppositely, and the distance H1 between the first narrowing section 12 and the second narrowing section 22 is smaller than the distance H2 between the first body section 11 and the second body section 21, that is, H1<H2. When the control arm guard 10 is installed on the control arm 20, the first narrowing section 12 and the second narrowing section 22 are suitable for fitting with the control arm 20, and the first body section 11 and the second body section 21 are suitable for separating from the control arm 20, thereby avoiding the first body section 11 and the control arm 20, and the second body section 21 and the control arm 20 from scratching and rubbing when the control arm guard 10 and the control arm 20 are installed and removed, and facilitating the installation and removal operations between the control arm guard 10 and the control arm 20.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the first body section 11 and the control arm 20 is not less than 2 mm to prevent the first body section 11 from scratching the control arm 20. For example, the distance between the first body section 11 and the control arm 20 may be 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, etc., and the distance between the first body section 11 and the control arm 20 may also be other values ​​not less than 2 mm, which are not listed here one by one.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the distance between the second body segment 21 and the control arm 20 is not less than 2 mm to prevent the second body segment 21 from scratching the control arm 20. For example, the distance between the second body segment 21 and the control arm 20 may be 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, etc., and the distance between the second body segment 21 and the control arm 20 may also be other values ​​not less than 2 mm, which are not listed here one by one.

[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, a surface of the bottom plate 3 facing the control arm installation space and / or a surface of the bottom plate 3 facing away from the control arm installation space is provided with reinforcing ribs. Figure 1In the example shown, the reinforcing ribs include a first reinforcing rib 31 and a second reinforcing rib 32. The first reinforcing rib 31 is arranged on the surface of the bottom plate 3 facing the control arm installation space, that is, the first reinforcing rib 31 is arranged on the upper surface of the bottom plate 3, and the second reinforcing rib 32 is arranged on the surface of the bottom plate 3 away from the control arm installation space, that is, the second reinforcing rib 32 is arranged on the lower surface of the bottom plate 3. In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the first reinforcing rib 31 can be arranged only on the surface of the bottom plate 3 facing the control arm installation space, or the second reinforcing rib 32 can be arranged only on the surface of the bottom plate 3 away from the control arm installation space. When the control arm guard 10 is applied to the vehicle so that the bottom plate 3 protects the bottom of the control arm 20, the gravel on the road surface brought up during driving is easy to hit the bottom plate 3. By arranging the reinforcing ribs on the surface of the bottom plate 3, the strength and rigidity of the bottom plate 3 can be increased, and even if the bottom plate 3 is hit, it is not easy to be damaged, thereby effectively protecting the control arm 20.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple reinforcing ribs, and the multiple reinforcing ribs are spaced apart. Figure 1 In the example shown, there are multiple first reinforcing ribs 31, specifically four, the four first reinforcing ribs 31 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the first reinforcing ribs 31 extend along the width direction of the bottom plate 3. Similarly, there are multiple second reinforcing ribs 32, the multiple second reinforcing ribs 32 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the second reinforcing ribs 32 extend along the width direction of the bottom plate 3.

[0040] Optionally, the number of the second reinforcing ribs 32 is greater than the number of the first reinforcing ribs 31, so that the lower surface of the bottom plate 3 is stronger than the upper surface, so as to better resist the gravel splashed on the road surface. In some embodiments not shown in the figure, the number of the second reinforcing ribs 32 can be less than or equal to the number of the first reinforcing ribs 31.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, the control arm guard plate 10 is a plastic guard plate, so that adding the control arm guard plate 10 will not significantly increase the weight of the vehicle.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the control arm guard 10 is an integral injection-molded part.

The control arm guard plate 10 can be installed and fixed to the control arm 20 by pressing and buckling the guard plate fixing structure 4 and the control arm 20 fixing structure. The control arm guard plate 10 can be removed from the control arm 20 by separating the guard plate fixing structure 4 from the control arm 20 fixing structure.

[0046] Alternatively, the guard plate fixing structure 4 and the control arm 20 fixing structure may be bolt fasteners and their supporting structures. For example, the guard plate fixing structure 4 is a stud, and the control arm 20 fixing structure is a mounting hole. By passing the stud through the mounting hole and fastening it with a nut, the control arm guard plate 10 can be installed and fixed to the control arm 20. By separating the nut from the stud and withdrawing the stud from the mounting hole, the control arm guard plate 10 can be removed from the control arm 20. For another example, the guard plate fixing structure 4 is a stud, and the control arm 20 fixing structure is a projection welding nut. By fastening the stud to the threaded hole of the projection welding nut, the control arm guard plate 10 can be installed and fixed to the control arm 20. By separating the stud from the threaded hole of the projection welding nut, the control arm guard plate 10 can be removed from the control arm 20.

[0047] According to the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application, the control arm guard plate 10 can protect the control arm 20 to prevent gravel splashed from the road from hitting the control arm 20, which can effectively reduce the corrosion risk of the control arm 20, thereby reducing the safety risk caused by rust penetration of the control arm 20, and by narrowing the distance between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 of the control arm guard plate 10 at at least one end, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 can fit with the control arm 20 at the narrowed portion, thereby preventing the control arm guard plate 10 and the control arm 20 from shaking relative to each other and generating abnormal noise, and there is a gap between the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 and the control arm 20 at the unnarrowed portion, thereby preventing the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 from scratching the control arm 20 at the unnarrowed portion, thereby facilitating the installation and disassembly operations between the control arm guard plate 10 and the control arm 20.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, one end of the control arm 20 may be connected to the subframe, and the other end may be connected to the steering knuckle.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 fit with the control arm 20 at the narrowed end portions, and are separated from the control arm 20 at the unnarrowed end portions.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the bottom plate 3 is located below the control arm 20, and the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are located above the bottom plate 3, so that the bottom plate 3 can protect the bottom of the control arm 20, and the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 can protect the side of the control arm 20, and the control arm guard plate 10 wraps the control arm 20 as a whole.
