Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a fender mounting structure. Meanwhile, the utility model also relates to a vehicle provided with the fender mounting structure. Background Art

[0002] The current automobile market is becoming more electrified, and the market share of new energy vehicles is gradually surpassing that of fuel vehicles. The weight of the vehicle is an important factor affecting the energy consumption of the vehicle. Lightweighting is one of the most effective ways to save energy and is also conducive to improving the competitiveness of automobile products. Therefore, in order to reduce the weight of the vehicle, various car companies have begun to use lightweight design for each component of the body, from front and rear bumpers to plastic fenders, and then to plastic rear doors, and have begun to use plastic materials on a large scale.

[0003] Among them, fenders are one of the key targets of lightweight design of vehicle bodies. They are mainly used to prevent gravel and mud rolled up by wheels from splashing onto the bottom of the vehicle compartment during driving, and fenders are generally installed above the wheels of the vehicle. In the prior art, the difference between plastic fenders and steel fenders is mainly low density, light weight, and good plasticity of appearance.

[0004] However, the existing plastic fenders still have the problem of low rigidity. During the assembly process, the fenders need to be adjusted several times to ensure that the clearance and surface difference between them and the surrounding parts are acceptable. This makes it easy for adjustment marks to appear on the fender surface after adjustment, affecting the exquisite appearance and giving customers the illusion that the vehicle has been repaired. In serious cases, the plastic fenders cannot withstand large torques due to their own material factors, and are prone to cracking when tightening standard parts, resulting in wasted work hours for parts repair and damage and scrapping of parts. For this reason, it is difficult for existing plastic fenders to ensure the integrity of the fender installation points while ensuring the clearance and surface difference of the fenders are acceptable.

For example, the position of the bushing 3 relative to the fender 2 along the X direction of the whole vehicle is adjustable, and the position of the fastening assembly 4 relative to the bushing 3 along the Y direction of the whole vehicle is adjustable. In this way, the mounting point of the fender 2 can be adjusted in the X direction and the Y direction of the whole vehicle, which is beneficial to ensure that the gap surface difference between the fender 2 and the mounting bracket 1 and other peripheral parts is qualified.
