Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile parts, and more specifically relates to a fender mounting bracket, a fender assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The fender is the outer panel of the vehicle body that covers the wheels. It is divided into the front fender and the rear fender according to the installation position. The front fender is installed at the front wheel, and the maximum limit space when the front wheel rotates and bounces must be guaranteed. The fender mounting bracket is used to install the fender on the vehicle, which can ensure the size and strength of the fender installation and is an important connecting part on the vehicle. The existing wheel cover mounting structure includes a first mounting bracket welded on the wheel cover side beam for mounting the fender, and a second mounting bracket welded on the engine hood hinge seat body for mounting the fender. The mounting bracket cannot be adjusted after being welded and fixed, especially when the distance between the fender and the engine hood exceeds the standard, it cannot be adjusted by adjusting the fender mounting bracket.

[0003] Some fender mounting brackets are also fixed to the fender by screwing, but screwing requires opening a connection hole on the fender mounting bracket and inserting the bolt into the connection hole to achieve fixation. When the fender is subjected to external force, the stress is concentrated at the connection between the fender mounting bracket and the bolt, which is very likely to break, resulting in damage to the fender mounting bracket. However, if the fender mounting bracket is increased in thickness to improve the strength of the fender mounting bracket and avoid breakage at the connection of the fender mounting bracket, not only will the weight of the fender mounting bracket increase, which is not conducive to achieving lightweighting of the entire vehicle, but the excessive strength of the entire fender mounting bracket is also not conducive to ensuring the safety of pedestrians, and it is easy to cause serious injuries to pedestrians after a collision with pedestrians.

[0027] Please also read Figures 1 to 4 The fender mounting bracket, fender assembly and vehicle provided by the utility model are now described. The fender mounting bracket includes a fixing plate 1 and a mounting plate 2 arranged at an angle, and also includes a reinforcing column 3 connected to the mounting plate 2. The fixing plate 1 has a fixing position 101 connected to the vehicle body component 8. The reinforcing column 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 301. The first mounting hole 301 is adapted to the second mounting hole on the fender and passes through the plate surface of the mounting plate 2.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the fender mounting bracket provided by the utility model has a fixing plate 1 and a mounting plate 2 arranged at an angle, which increases the strength of the fender mounting bracket relative to the flat plate design. After the first mounting hole 301 and the second mounting hole correspond to each other, the connecting piece is inserted into the first mounting hole 301 and the second mounting hole to achieve the fixation of the fender and the mounting plate 2, and then the fixing position 101 is connected to the body part 8 to achieve the fixation of the fender to the body. Due to the provision of the reinforcing column 3, the contact area with the connecting piece is increased, which not only improves the connection firmness between the fender and the mounting plate 2, but also increases the strength of the periphery of the first mounting hole 301, avoids the stress concentration at the connection between the connecting piece and the mounting plate 2 after the fender is subjected to external force, resulting in the breakage of the connecting piece or the mounting plate 2, and increases the service life of the mounting plate 2. The utility model adopts the method of providing the reinforcing column 3 to increase the strength of the connection between the mounting plate 2 and the fender, ensures the strength of the mounting plate 2 by locally increasing the thickness, and avoids the problem of excessive weight caused by the overall thickening of the mounting plate 2.

[0029] Optionally, the connecting member is inserted into the first mounting hole 301 and the second mounting hole, and the mounting plate 2 and the fender can be fixed by screwing or clamping.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The fender mounting bracket also includes a reinforcement module arranged on the mounting plate 2 , and the reinforcement module includes a plurality of first reinforcement ribs 401 , and the plurality of first reinforcement ribs 401 are radially distributed on the periphery of the reinforcement column 3 .

[0031] When the fender is subjected to external force, the fender mounting bracket is subjected to force, causing the connector inserted in the first mounting hole 301 to be displaced, which can easily cause the reinforcing column 3 to be offset under force, thereby causing it to break or deform, affecting the connection stability between the mounting plate 2 and the fender. In this embodiment, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 401 are radially distributed on the outer periphery of the reinforcing column 3 to provide radial limitation and support for the reinforcing column 3 to prevent the reinforcing column 3 from being damaged after being subjected to force.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The reinforcement module further includes a reinforcement plate 402 connected to the mounting plate 2 , and the reinforcement plate 402 abuts against an end of the first reinforcement rib 401 away from the reinforcement column 3 .

[0033] The reinforcing plate 402 limits the first reinforcing rib 401 in its long axis direction. When the reinforcing column 3 is subjected to force, it tends to deviate, thereby applying a compressive force to the first reinforcing rib 401. The reinforcing plate 402 abuts against the first reinforcing rib 401, thereby increasing the firmness of the first reinforcing rib 401 and preventing the first reinforcing rib 401 from being broken or displaced after being subjected to force. In addition, the first reinforcing rib 401 is connected to the mounting plate 2, thereby also increasing the strength of the mounting plate 2.

[0034] Optionally, a plurality of first mounting holes 301 are sequentially spaced and distributed along the long axis direction of the mounting plate 2 , and the reinforcement modules are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the first mounting holes 301 .

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The fender mounting bracket also includes a reinforcing flange 7, which is arranged around the outer edge of the mounting plate 2.

[0036] The reinforced flange 7 can not only improve the strength of the mounting plate 2 and reduce the probability of deformation and breakage, but also avoid the outer edge of the mounting plate 2 being directly exposed, which may cause scratches to the operator when replacing or installing the fender mounting bracket.

[0037] Optionally, the reinforcing flange 7 and the fixing plate 1 are located on the same surface of the mounting plate 2 .

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The fender mounting bracket also includes a second reinforcing rib 6 connected to the mounting plate 2 , and the second reinforcing rib 6 is arranged around the outer edge of the weight-reducing hole 201 .

[0039] The second reinforcing rib 6 increases the strength of the periphery of the weight-reducing hole 201, thereby preventing the strength of the portion of the mounting plate 2 located at the periphery of the weight-reducing hole 201 from being reduced due to the opening of the weight-reducing hole 201, which may cause damage or deformation of the portion after being subjected to force. In addition, the second reinforcing rib 6 can also prevent the outer edge of the weight-reducing hole 201 from scratching the operator during installation or removal, thereby improving safety during installation and removal.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The mounting plate 2 is also provided with a weight-reducing hole 201 .

[0041] The design of the weight-reducing hole 201 reduces the strength and weight of the mounting plate 2, which is not only conducive to achieving lightweight of the entire vehicle, but also helps to protect pedestrians from injury after a collision with pedestrians.

[0042] Optionally, the second reinforcing rib 6 and the fixing plate 1 are located on the same surface of the mounting plate 2 .

[0043] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The fender mounting bracket also includes a limiting plate 5 connected to the mounting plate 2, and two ends of the limiting plate 5 are respectively abutted against the reinforcing flange 7 and the fixing plate 1.

[0044] The limiting piece 5 increases the strength and anti-deformation capability of the mounting plate 2, making the mounting plate 2 more stable. In addition, since the two ends of the limiting piece 5 are respectively in contact with the reinforcing flange 7 and the fixing plate 1, the relative stability of the mounting plate 2 and the fixing plate 1 is ensured, and the angle between the mounting plate 2 and the fixing plate 1 is prevented from changing after the fender is subjected to force, thereby preventing the connection between the mounting plate 2 and the fixing plate 1 from being deformed or broken.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 4 The fixing position 101 is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes 1011 , which are distributed in a triangular shape on the fixing plate 1 , and the first fixing holes 1011 are adapted to the second fixing holes on the body component 8 .

[0046] After the first fixing hole 1011 and the second fixing hole are aligned, the locking piece is inserted into the first fixing hole 1011 and the second fixing hole to achieve the connection and fixation between the fixing plate 1 and the vehicle body, which is convenient for installation. Since the plurality of first fixing holes 1011 are distributed in a triangular shape, the fixing plate 1 is not prone to flipping and deformation after being stressed, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the fixing plate 1.

[0047] Optionally, the locking piece is inserted into the first fixing hole 1011 and the second fixing hole, and the connection between the fixing plate 1 and the vehicle body can be achieved by screwing or snapping.

[0048] Based on the same inventive concept, the utility model also provides a fender assembly. Figure 3 to Figure 4 The fender assembly includes any one of the above fender mounting brackets.

[0049] The fender assembly provided by the utility model adopts the above-mentioned fender mounting bracket, and the fixing plate 1 and the mounting plate 2 are arranged at an angle, which increases the strength of the fender mounting bracket relative to the flat plate design. After the first mounting hole 301 and the second mounting hole correspond to each other, the connecting piece is inserted into the first mounting hole 301 and the second mounting hole to achieve the fixation of the fender and the mounting plate 2, and then the fixing position 101 is connected to the body part 8 to achieve the fixation of the fender to the body. Due to the provision of the reinforcing column 3, the contact area with the connecting piece is increased, which not only improves the connection firmness between the fender and the mounting plate 2, but also increases the strength of the periphery of the first mounting hole 301, avoids the stress concentration at the connection between the connecting piece and the mounting plate 2 after the fender is subjected to external force, resulting in the breakage of the connecting piece or the mounting plate 2, and increases the service life of the mounting plate 2. The utility model adopts the method of providing the reinforcing column 3 to increase the strength of the connection between the mounting plate 2 and the fender, ensures the strength of the mounting plate 2 by locally increasing the thickness, and avoids the problem of excessive weight caused by the overall thickening of the mounting plate 2.
