[0036] The first embodiment of the present utility model provides a bumper and fender mounting structure, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the fender 100 has a first flange 101 arranged along the transverse direction of the vehicle, and the bumper 200 has a second flange 201 arranged along the transverse direction of the vehicle. The mounting structure of the bumper and the fender includes a mounting bracket 1, and the mounting bracket 1 is arranged between the first flange 101 and the second flange 201. The mounting bracket 1 is connected to the first flange 101 through a fastener 2. A clip 3 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 1 facing the bumper 200, and a clip hole 4 cooperating with the clip 3 is opened on the second flange 201.

[0037] The bumper 200 is a front bumper, and the fender 100 is a fender above the front wheel. The first flange 101 provided on the fender 100 and the second flange 201 provided on the bumper 200 provide installation positions for the mounting bracket 1. The two sides of the mounting bracket 1 are connected to the first flange 101 and the second flange 201 respectively, so that the fender 100 and the bumper 200 can be connected. The first flange 101 and the second flange 201 are both arranged in the transverse direction of the vehicle. When assembling the bumper 200, the mounting bracket 1 and the fender 100 are first connected by the fastener 2 to realize the pre-installation of the mounting bracket 1, and then the clamping hole 4 on the bumper 200 is passed through the clamping member 3 to realize the connection between the bumper 200 and the mounting bracket 1. The operation is simple and the work efficiency is high. The bumper 200 can be installed in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Compared with installing the bumper 200 in the height direction of the vehicle, it will not be limited by the space in the height direction of the vehicle, and the shape and size of the bumper 200 are less restricted, which is easier to assemble.

[0038] The first flange 101, the second flange 201 and the mounting bracket 1 are independently arranged to facilitate the processing of parts. At the same time, by designing the positions of the first flange 101 and the second flange 201, the mounting bracket 1 can be hidden, thereby minimizing the gap between the bumper 200 and the fender 100 and improving the appearance.

[0039] In other embodiments, to adapt to the contour of the vehicle body, the extending directions of the first flange 101 and the second flange 201 have an angle of less than 30° with the transverse direction of the vehicle.

[0040] In some embodiments, the fastener 2 is preferably a screw, such as Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a first mounting hole 7 for mounting the fastener 2, and the first flange 101 is provided with a second mounting hole 8 that matches the first mounting hole 7. The fastener 2 passes through the first mounting hole 7 and the second mounting hole 8 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the fender 100. The first mounting hole 7 and the second mounting hole 8 play a positioning role for the installation of the fastener 2. The number of the first mounting holes 7 is determined according to the length of the mounting bracket 1 along the transverse direction of the vehicle, and the first mounting holes 7 can be set to be multiple. Exemplarily, three first mounting holes 7 are set.

[0041] In some embodiments, a protrusion 5 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 1 facing the first flange 101, and a groove 6 is provided on the first flange 101 to cooperate with the protrusion 5. When installing the mounting bracket 1, the protrusion 5 and the groove 6 on the mounting bracket 1 cooperate with each other to achieve rapid positioning of the mounting bracket 1.

[0042] The first mounting hole 7 is formed in the protrusion 5. With respect to the side of the mounting bracket 1 away from the fender 100, a concave area is formed at the position corresponding to the protrusion 5. After the fastener 2 is installed into the fender 100 along the first mounting hole 7, the fastener 2 is accommodated in the concave area, and the end of the fastener 2 is not exposed on the side of the mounting bracket 1, so that the structure of the fender 100 and the bumper 200 is more compact, the gap between the fender 100 and the bumper 200 is smaller, and the appearance is more beautiful.

[0043] In other embodiments, a groove portion 6 is provided on the mounting bracket 1 on one side facing the first flange 101, and a protrusion 5 is provided on the first flange 101 to cooperate with the groove portion 6. When the mounting bracket 1 is mounted to the fender 100, the groove portion 6 and the protrusion 5 cooperate with each other to achieve rapid positioning of the mounting bracket 1. The first mounting hole 7 is provided in the groove portion 6 to provide an installation position for the fastener 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, the clamping member 3 includes a clamping member body 31 and a clamping portion 32 . The cross-sectional shape of the clamping member body 31 is square, rectangular, triangular or polygonal (with the number of sides ≥ 5).

[0045] The cross-sectional shape of the card connector body 31 is a rectangle as an example for explanation. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the clamping part 32 is arranged on the first side wall of the clamping part body 31, and the first side wall is the upper and lower side walls of the clamping part body 31. After the clamping part body 31 passes through the clamping hole 4, the clamping part 32 is clamped with the second flanges 201 on the upper and lower sides of the clamping hole 4, so as to realize the clamping of the clamping part 32 and the clamping hole 4, and fix the second flange 201 and the mounting bracket 1. The clamping part 3 cooperates with the clamping hole 4 to limit the movement of the fender 100 and the bumper 200 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and improve the connection stability of the fender 100 and the bumper 200.

[0046] The clamping portion 32 may be disposed on both upper and lower sides of the clamping component body 31 , or the clamping portion 32 may be disposed only on the upper side or the lower side of the clamping component body 31 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the second side wall of the clip body 31 is provided with a limiting surface 33 for limiting the second flange 201, and the first side wall and the second side wall are different. The second side wall is the left and right side walls of the clip body 31, and the limiting surface 33 of the second side wall abuts against the left and right side walls of the clip hole 4 to limit the movement of the clip body 31 in the lateral direction of the vehicle.

[0048] In some embodiments, a guide portion 34 is provided at the end of the clip body 31. During the process of installing the clip body 31 into the clip hole 4, the guide portion 34 is constantly centered to play a guiding role. The guide portion 34 gradually shrinks in the direction close to the second flange 201, and four guiding slopes are formed at the end of the clip body. The area size of the guide portion 34 close to the second flange 201 is smaller. During the process of the clip body 31 close to the second flange 201, it is easier to enter the clip hole 4, which is conducive to guiding.

[0049] In some embodiments, the first mounting holes 7 and the clips 3 are alternately arranged along the length direction of the mounting bracket 1, that is, the fasteners 2 and the clips 3 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting bracket 1, and the supporting force of the mounting bracket 1 on the fender 100 and the bumper 200 is more evenly distributed.

[0050] In some embodiments, a plurality of limiting ribs 9 are provided on one side of the mounting bracket 1 facing the second flange 201, and the plurality of limiting ribs 9 are arranged in a staggered manner. The limiting ribs 9 are in contact with the bumper 200 and are arranged in a staggered manner, thereby increasing the friction between the bumper 200 and the second flange 201 of the bumper 200 is not easy to deviate along the first flange 101 of the fender 100 or sag under the action of gravity. The bumper 200 plays a certain supporting role and plays a role in stabilizing the position of the mounting bracket 1 on the fender 100.

[0051] In some embodiments, a weight-reducing hole 10 is provided on the clip body 31, so as to achieve lightweighting of the clip body 31, thereby facilitating lightweighting of the entire vehicle.

[0052] In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 1 is an engineering plastic bracket. Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 is preferably made of POM (polyoxymethylene) material, which is a thermoplastic engineering plastic with excellent mechanical properties (hardness, strength and rigidity similar to metal), good self-lubrication and good fatigue resistance in a wide range of temperature and humidity, which is conducive to ensuring the rigidity and strength of the connection between the fender 100 and the bumper 200.

[0053] The assembly process of the bumper and fender provided by the utility model is as follows: first, the protrusion 5 of the mounting bracket 1 is matched with the groove portion 6 of the first flange 101 to realize the rapid positioning of the fender 100 of the mounting bracket 1, and the fastener 2 passes through the first mounting hole 7 set on the protrusion 5 and the second mounting hole 8 set on the fender 100 to fix the mounting bracket 1 and the first flange 101 of the fender 100 to realize the pre-installation of the mounting bracket 1, and then, the clamping hole 4 and the clamping portion 32 cooperate to install the bumper 200 to the bumper 200 along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
