Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, and more particularly to a wheel arch assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Automobile fenders can be used to modify the streamline of the car body, maintain the beauty of the car body, and can be used to prevent dirt, sand and other debris from splashing onto the car body, which is conducive to maintaining the cleanliness and integrity of the car body paint. However, for complex road conditions in the wild, especially on muddy, slippery dirt roads or off-road roads, the existing automobile fenders have a limited coverage range and cannot effectively prevent the splashing of dirt, sand and other debris, which often causes the car body paint to be scratched, and even mud and dirt cover the car windows, increasing the danger of vehicle driving.

[0003] At present, the fenders of automobiles can be folded or extended to increase the coverage to resist splashing mud and sand, thereby reducing the risk of pollution and scratches on the car body. However, mud and sand can easily enter the fenders of automobiles, making it more difficult to clean the fenders of automobiles. Utility Model Content

[0004] The embodiments of the present application provide a wheel eyebrow assembly and a vehicle that can avoid or reduce the entry of mud and sand into the wheel eyebrow assembly to a certain extent, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the wheel eyebrow assembly.

[0005] The wheel eyebrow assembly of the embodiment of the present application is used for a vehicle. The wheel eyebrow assembly includes a body, a drive assembly and an elastic membrane. The body is provided with a receiving groove; the drive assembly is connected to the body, and the drive assembly includes a drive member; the elastic membrane is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove and the drive member, and the drive member is used to drive the elastic membrane to switch between a first position and a second position. When the elastic membrane is in the first position, the elastic membrane is opened to the outside of the receiving groove, and when the elastic membrane is in the second position, the elastic membrane is recovered.

[0006] In this way, the driving member can drive the elastic membrane to switch between the first position and the second position when it is active, so that the covering range of the automobile fender can be adjusted, and when the elastic membrane is recovered, the mud and sand adhering to the elastic membrane can be fallen off by its own elasticity, thereby avoiding or reducing the mud and sand from entering the fender assembly to a certain extent, reducing the difficulty of cleaning the fender assembly.

[0007] In some embodiments, the body includes a shell and a fixing plate, and the shell and the fixing plate are fixedly connected to form the receiving groove.

[0008] In this way, the housing and the fixing are connected to form a receiving groove, so that the components in the wheel eyebrow assembly can be accommodated and a telescopic space can be provided at the same time.

[0009] In certain embodiments, the wheel eyebrow assembly includes a gasket, the shell forms a protrusion, the protrusion is disposed at a notch of the receiving groove and protrudes into the receiving groove, and the gasket fixes the elastic membrane on the protrusion.

[0010] In this way, the elastic membrane is fixed to the protrusion formed by the body by the gasket, which can increase the friction between the elastic membrane and the body and prevent the elastic membrane from falling off. The gasket can also seal the gap between the elastic membrane and the body to improve the sealing performance of the wheel eyebrow assembly.

[0011] In some embodiments, the driving assembly includes a first plate and a second plate, the first plate and the second plate clamp the elastic membrane, and the driving member is connected to the first plate.

[0012] In this way, the elastic membrane is clamped by the first plate and the second plate, and the driving member can be connected to the first plate, so that when the driving member drives the first plate, the elastic membrane can be extended out of the accommodating groove, thereby increasing the covering range of the wheel eyebrow assembly and increasing the ability of the wheel eyebrow assembly to block mud and sand splashing.

[0013] In some embodiments, the driving member includes a fixed part and a movable part, the fixed part is connected to the body, the movable part is movably connected to the fixed part, the movable part is connected to the first plate, and the movable part is used to drive the first plate to move when it moves relative to the fixed part, thereby driving the elastic membrane to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0014] In this way, by connecting the fixed part of the driving member to the body, the fixed plate can be prevented from moving with the movable part of the driving member when the driving member is driven. By movably connecting the movable part to the fixed part and the first plate, the first plate can be switched between the first position and the second position with the movement of the movable part, so as to increase the coverage range of the fender assembly.

[0015] In certain embodiments, the movable portion moves in a sliding or spiral manner.

[0016] In this way, by determining the moving mode of the moving part to be sliding, the driving efficiency can be improved; by determining the moving mode of the moving part to be spiral, a larger driving force can be provided.

[0017] In certain embodiments, the driving assembly includes a connection block connecting the movable portion and the first plate.

[0018] In this way, by arranging the connection block on the first plate, the movable part and the first plate can be tightly connected, thereby improving the connection stability between the movable part and the first plate.

[0019] In some embodiments, the wheel eyebrow assembly includes a guide assembly, and the guide assembly includes a sleeve and a sliding rod. One of the sleeve and the sliding rod is arranged on the first plate, and the other is arranged on the body. The sleeve is loosely matched with the sliding rod.

[0020] In this way, by respectively arranging the sleeve and the sliding rod on the first plate and the main body, and the sleeve and the sliding rod can be clearance-fitted, the gravity of the first plate, the main body and the sleeve can act on the sliding rod, ensuring that the thrust direction received by the first plate remains horizontal, preventing the overall force direction of the driving assembly from being seriously offset.

[0021] In some embodiments, the wheel eyebrow assembly includes a plurality of the guide assemblies, and the plurality of the guide assemblies are symmetrically arranged along a central axis of the wheel eyebrow assembly.

[0022] In this way, by arranging multiple guide assemblies symmetrically along the central axis of the wheel eyebrow assembly, the thrust generated by the driving member can act evenly on the first plate, so that the elastic membrane is evenly stressed, which can maximize the coverage range of the wheel eyebrow assembly.

In addition, the various specific processes and material examples provided by the present application, but those of ordinary skill in the art can appreciate the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0040] In the related art, when a vehicle is driving on a complicated road in the wild, especially on a muddy, slippery dirt road or off-road road, the existing car fenders have a limited coverage range and cannot effectively block the splashing mud, sand, etc., which often causes the paint of the car body to be scratched, and even mud stains all over the car windows, increasing the danger of driving the vehicle. At present, the car fenders can increase the coverage range by folding or telescoping to resist the splashing mud and sand, thereby reducing the risk of the car body being contaminated and scratched. However, mud and sand can easily enter the car fenders, making the cleaning of the car fenders more difficult.

[0041] To do this, see Figures 1 to 5The embodiment of the present application provides a wheel eyebrow assembly 10 and a vehicle 100. The wheel eyebrow assembly 10 is used for the vehicle 100. The wheel eyebrow assembly 10 includes a body 11, a driving assembly 12 and an elastic membrane 13. The body 11 is provided with a receiving groove 111; the driving assembly 12 is connected to the body 11, and the driving assembly 12 includes a driving member 121; the elastic membrane 13 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 111 and the driving member 121, and the driving member 121 is used to drive the elastic membrane 13 to switch between a first position and a second position. When the elastic membrane 13 is in the first position, the elastic membrane 13 is opened to the outside of the receiving groove 111, and when the elastic membrane 13 is in the second position, the elastic membrane 13 is recovered.

[0042] In this way, the driving member 121 can drive the elastic membrane 13 to switch between the first position and the second position when it is active, so that the covering range of the automobile fender can be adjusted, and when the elastic membrane 13 is recovered, the mud and sand adhering to the elastic membrane 13 can be dropped off by its own elasticity, thereby avoiding or reducing the mud and sand from entering the fender assembly 10 to a certain extent, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning the fender assembly 10.

[0043] The wheel eyebrow assembly 10 is a semicircular component protruding from the fender above the tire of the vehicle 100. The installation of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 can enhance the visual aesthetics, make the vehicle body appear lower, and highlight the streamlined curvature of the vehicle 100. The wheel hub of the vehicle 100 is prone to scratches during use, and adding the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 can reduce the damage to the vehicle caused by small scratches. In addition, the design of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 conforms to fluid mechanics, which helps to reduce the wind resistance coefficient, thereby improving the driving stability and fuel efficiency of the vehicle.

[0044] Specifically, the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 includes a body 11, a drive assembly 12 and an elastic membrane 13. The body 11 may be made of a material having a certain degree of wear resistance, such as stainless steel and rubber, so as to block the erosion of mud and sand. The shape of the body 11 may be semicircular, trapezoidal or irregular, and can adapt to the tire profile of the vehicle 100, thereby reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle 100 and preventing mud and sand erosion.

[0045] The body 11 includes a shell 112 and a fixing plate 113. The shell 112 is spaced apart from the wheel, and can block the mud and sand driven by the rotation of the wheel to a certain extent. By opening a fixing hole on the plate surface of the fixing plate 113, the fixing plate 113 can fix the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 on the vehicle body by bolts, or the fixing plate 113 is welded to the vehicle body by welding so that the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 is fixed to the vehicle body. A through hole is opened on the top wall of the shell 112, and a mounting hole is opened on the top wall of the fixing plate 113, so that the fixing plate 113 can be connected to the shell 112 by bolts passing through the through hole, so that the shell 112 and the fixing plate 113 can form a receiving groove 111 to accommodate other components in the wheel eyebrow assembly 10. In this way, by connecting the shell 112 and the fixing to form the receiving groove 111, the components in the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 can be accommodated, and a telescopic space is provided at the same time.

[0046] The driving assembly 12 includes a driving member 121, which can be used to drive the components in the fender assembly 10 to move, so that the components in the fender assembly 10 move outside the receiving groove 111, thereby increasing the coverage range of the fender assembly 10. The number of the driving members 121 can be single or multiple. When the number of the driving members 121 is single, the driving member 121 needs to be arranged on the central axis L of the fender assembly 10, so that the thrust provided to the elastic membrane 13 by the driving member 121 when it moves is uniform; when the number of the driving members 121 is multiple, the multiple driving members 121 need to be symmetrically arranged along the central axis L of the fender assembly 10, so that the thrust provided to the elastic membrane 13 by the driving member 121 when it moves is uniform.

[0047] The elastic membrane 13 can be a membrane with elasticity and strong sealing properties such as a high-elastic rubber mold. The edge of the elastic membrane 13 can be connected to the inner wall of the accommodating groove 111, and the membrane surface of the elastic membrane 13 can be fixedly connected to the driving member 121, so that under the drive of the driving member 121, the elastic membrane 13 can undergo elastic deformation, and then the elastic membrane 13 can switch between the first position and the second position.

[0048] For example, when the driving member 121 is driven, it can drive the elastic membrane 13 to move from the second position to the first position. At this time, the elastic membrane 13 undergoes elastic deformation, and part of the elastic membrane 13 can be opened to the outside of the receiving groove 111 to increase the covering area of ​​the wheel eyebrow assembly 10; when the driving member 121 stops driving, the elastic membrane 13 moves from the first position to the second position under the action of elastic force. At this time, the elastic membrane 13 is recovered to the inside of the receiving groove 111, so that when the vehicle 100 is driving in a narrow space, the width of the vehicle 100 can be reduced to facilitate driving.

[0049] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 includes a gasket 14 , the housing 112 forms a protrusion 1121 , the protrusion 1121 is disposed at a notch of the receiving groove 111 and protrudes into the receiving groove 111 , and the gasket 14 fixes the elastic membrane 13 on the protrusion 1121 .

[0050] In this way, the elastic membrane 13 is fixed to the protrusion 1121 formed on the main body 11 by the gasket 14, which can increase the friction between the elastic membrane 13 and the main body 11 and prevent the elastic membrane 13 from falling off. In addition, the gasket 14 can also seal the gap between the elastic membrane 13 and the main body 11 to improve the sealing performance of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10.

[0051] Specifically, the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 further includes a gasket 14, which can be made of a metal material and can be used as a fastener. A protrusion 1121 is formed at one end of the housing 112 near the notch of the receiving groove 111, and the protrusion 1121 is annular on the housing 112, and the protrusion 1121 protrudes into the inside of the receiving groove 111. The elastic membrane 13 can be connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 111 by fixing the elastic membrane 13 on the protrusion 1121 through the gasket 14.

[0052] For example, through holes are provided on the edge of the gasket 14 and the edge of the elastic membrane 13, and fixing holes are provided on the protrusion 1121, and bolts are passed through the through holes and the fixing holes to sequentially fix the elastic membrane 13, the gasket 14 and the protrusion 1121. Thus, the elastic membrane 13 and the gasket 14 can seal the receiving groove 111, preventing external mud and sand from entering the interior of the fender assembly 10 and damaging the components of the fender assembly 10.

[0053] Please refer again Figure 6 In some embodiments, the driving assembly 12 includes a first plate 122 and a second plate 123 , the first plate 122 and the second plate 123 clamp the elastic membrane 13 , and the driving member 121 is connected to the first plate 122 .

[0054] In this way, the elastic membrane 13 is clamped by the first plate 122 and the second plate 123, and the driving member 121 can be connected to the first plate 122, so that when the driving member 121 drives the first plate 122, the elastic membrane 13 can be extended out of the accommodating groove 111, thereby increasing the covering range of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 and increasing the ability of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 to block mud and sand splashing.

[0055] Specifically, the driving assembly 12 also includes a first plate 122 and a second plate 123, the shapes of which are adapted to the shape of the main body, and the first plate 122 and the second plate 123 are made of hard plastic or light alloy that is not easily deformed. The first plate 122 is arranged close to the driving member 121, and the driving member 121 can be connected to the first plate 122, so that the driving member 121 can drive the second plate 123 to move, and the second plate 123 is arranged at the notch of the receiving groove 111 and seals the receiving groove 111. The elastic membrane 13 is arranged between the first plate 122 and the second plate 123, and is clamped by the first plate 122 and the second plate 123.

[0056] For example, a through hole is opened at the center position of the first plate 122 , the elastic membrane 13 and the second plate 123 , and the first plate 122 , the elastic membrane 13 and the second plate 123 are fixed by bolts passing through the through hole, so that the elastic membrane 13 is fixed between the first plate 122 and the second plate 123 .

[0057] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the driving member 121 includes a fixed portion 1211 and a movable portion 1212, the fixed portion 1211 is connected to the body 11, the movable portion 1212 is movably connected to the fixed portion 1211, the movable portion 1212 is connected to the first plate 122, and the movable portion 1212 is used to drive the first plate 122 to move when it moves relative to the fixed portion 1211, thereby driving the elastic membrane 13 to switch between the first position and the second position.

[0058] In this way, by connecting the fixed portion 1211 of the driving member 121 with the body 11, the fixed plate 113 can be prevented from moving with the movable portion 1212 of the driving member 121 when the driving member 121 is driven. By movably connecting the movable portion 1212 to the fixed portion 1211 and the first plate 122, the first plate 122 can be switched between the first position and the second position with the movement of the movable portion 1212, so as to increase the coverage range of the fender assembly 10.

[0059] Specifically, the driving member 121 includes a fixed portion 1211 and a movable portion 1212. The fixed portion 1211 may be a fixed bracket, which can be fixed on the body 11, that is, the fixed portion 1211 is fixed on the fixed plate 113. The movable portion 1212 may be an electric cylinder, a screw rod or a component that performs motor movement, and the movable portion 1212 can be movably connected to the fixed portion 1211.

[0060] For example, the movable portion 1212 can move toward or away from the first plate 122 relative to the fixed portion 1211. When the movable portion 1212 moves away from the fixed portion 1211, it can press the first plate 122 to drive the first plate 122 to drive the elastic membrane 13 to move from the second position to the first position; when the movable portion 1212 moves toward the fixed portion 1211, under the action of the elastic force of the elastic membrane 13, it drives the elastic membrane 13 to move from the second position to the first position.

[0061] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the movable portion 1212 may move in a sliding or spiral manner.

[0062] In this way, by determining the moving mode of the movable part 1212 to be sliding, the driving efficiency can be improved; by determining the moving mode of the movable part 1212 to be spiral, a larger driving force can be provided.

[0063] Specifically, when the movable part 1212 is an electric cylinder, the movable part 1212 moves in a sliding manner, and the movable part 1212 can push the first plate 122 to move by sliding. When the movable part 1212 is a screw rod, the movable part 1212 moves in a spiral motion, and the movable part 1212 can push the first plate 122 to move by rotating.

[0064] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the driving assembly 12 includes a connecting block 124 that connects the movable portion 1212 and the first plate 122 .

[0065] In this way, by providing the connection block 124 on the first plate 122 , the movable portion 1212 and the first plate 122 can be tightly connected, thereby improving the connection stability between the movable portion 1212 and the first plate 122 .

[0066] Specifically, the driving assembly 12 also includes a connecting block 124, which can be fixed on the first plate 122, and the movable part 1212 can be fixed to the connecting block 124, so that the movable part 1212 can be fixedly connected to the first plate 122 through the connecting block 124, and then the movable part 1212 can drive the first plate 122 to move when it moves.

[0067] For example, when the movable part 1212 is an electric cylinder, the electric cylinder includes a telescopic rod, a through hole is provided on the end of the telescopic rod that contacts the connecting block 124, and a fixing hole corresponding to the through hole is provided on the connecting block 124, so that the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder can be fixedly connected to the connecting block 124 by passing bolts through the fixing hole and the through hole.

[0068] See also Figure 6In some embodiments, the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 includes a guide assembly 15, and the guide assembly 15 includes a sleeve 151 and a slide rod 152. One of the sleeve 151 and the slide rod 152 is arranged on the first plate 122, and the other is arranged on the body 11. The sleeve 151 and the slide rod 152 are clearance-matched.

[0069] In this way, by respectively arranging the sleeve 151 and the slide rod 152 on the first plate 122 and the main body 11, and the sleeve 151 and the slide rod 152 can be clearance-fitted, the gravity of the first plate 122, the main body 11 and the sleeve 151 can act on the slide rod 152, ensuring that the thrust direction received by the first plate 122 remains horizontal, thereby preventing the overall force direction of the drive assembly 12 from being seriously offset.

[0070] Specifically, the fender assembly 10 further includes a guide assembly 15, which can be used to control the direction of movement of the telescopic assembly. The guide assembly 15 includes a sleeve 151 and a slide bar 152, and the sleeve 151 and the slide bar 152 can be clearance-matched, that is, there is a gap between the sleeve 151 and the slide bar 152, and they can move freely.

[0071] The sleeve 151 can be arranged on the first plate 122 and face the fixed plate 113 included in the body 11 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and the corresponding slide bar 152 needs to be arranged on the fixed plate 113 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity; the slide bar 152 can be arranged on the first plate 122 and face the fixed plate 113 included in the body 11 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity, and the corresponding sleeve 151 needs to be arranged on the fixed plate 113 in a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravity. Therefore, when the driving member 121 moves, the thrust direction received by the first plate 122 can be perpendicular to the direction of gravity, thereby maximizing the coverage range of the fender assembly 10.

[0072] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the fender assembly 10 includes a plurality of guide assemblies 15 , and the plurality of guide assemblies 15 are symmetrically arranged along a center axis L of the fender assembly 10 .

[0073] In this way, by symmetrically arranging multiple guide assemblies 15 along the central axis L of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10, the thrust generated by the driving member 121 can act evenly on the first plate 122, so that the elastic membrane 13 is evenly stressed, which can maximize the coverage range of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10.

[0074] Specifically, there may be a plurality of guide assemblies 15 . For example, there may be 6, 8, or 10 guide assemblies 15 . The plurality of guide assemblies 15 need to be symmetrically arranged along the central axis L of the fender assembly 10 .

[0075] For example, when the number of the plurality of guide assemblies 15 is 6, 3 guide assemblies 15 are arranged on both sides of the central axis L of the fender assembly 10, and the 3 pairs of guide assemblies 15 need to be symmetrical along the central axis L. Thus, when the driving member 121 moves, a uniform thrust can be provided to the first plate 122, so that the elastic membrane 13 can be opened to the outside of the accommodating groove 111 to the maximum extent, thereby increasing the covering range of the fender assembly 10.

[0076] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the installation sequence of the wheel eyebrow assembly 10 on the vehicle 100 may be:

[0077] Step 1: Fix the fixing plate 113 included in the body 11 to the body of the vehicle 100;

[0078] Step 2: Install the slide bar 152 or the sleeve 151 on the fixed plate 113;
