Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automobile technology, and in particular to a fender assembly and an automobile. Background Art

[0002] Based on road traffic safety considerations, the automotive industry has incorporated pedestrian protection into design requirements to reduce the casualty rate of car-pedestrian collision accidents. The collision area of ​​pedestrians mainly occurs at the front of the car, so the fender becomes a key area for pedestrian protection. The front structure of the car includes the front hood, front bumper and fenders. The fender is installed on the body frame, above the front wheel, close to the front bumper on one side and the front door hinge axis on the other side.

[0003] In the prior art, the structure of the fender itself is changed so that the fender will be crushed and deformed during a collision, or the mounting parts between the fender and the body frame are set as cantilever beam structures, so that the mounting parts themselves deform to absorb more impact energy and reduce damage to the pedestrian's head.

[0004] However, although the above structure can absorb part of the impact energy during a collision, when the pedestrian's head collides with the fender near the hinge axis, it is still very easy to hit the hinge axis and other hard points of the car body with high stiffness and strength, posing a high safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the purposes of the present application is to provide a fender assembly to solve the problem in the prior art that although the fender can absorb part of the impact energy during a collision, when a pedestrian's head collides with the fender near the hinge axis, it is still very easy to hit the hinge axis and other hard point areas of the vehicle body with high stiffness and strength, posing a high safety hazard; the second purpose is to provide a car.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0007] A fender assembly is used for an automobile, wherein the fender assembly comprises a fender and a fender bracket;

[0008] The fender comprises a first support portion and a second support portion arranged on the first support portion, the first support portion and the second support portion are both used to connect with the body of the automobile, and the first support portion is located above the door hinge axis of the automobile, and the second support portion is located on the side of the door of the automobile;

[0009] The fender bracket is arranged on the first supporting portion and is located on a side of the first supporting portion facing the door hinge axis.

[0010] According to the above technical means, the fender bracket is located above the door hinge shaft. When the fender is hit, the fender bracket, as a buffer component between the fender and the hinge shaft, will be hit first to prevent the pedestrian's head from directly hitting the hinge shaft and other rigid structures. In addition, the fender bracket itself will absorb a certain amount of energy through its own crushing deformation after the collision, so that the energy transmitted to the hinge shaft and other rigid structural parts is reduced. By reducing the acceleration of the pedestrian's head hitting the hinge shaft, the collision damage to the pedestrian's head is reduced. Therefore, by setting the fender bracket, there is a buffer between the fender and the hinge shaft, which prevents the pedestrian's head from hitting the hinge shaft and other hard points of the vehicle body with high rigidity and strength, so as to improve the protection of pedestrians.

[0011] Furthermore, the fender bracket includes a bracket body and at least one deformation portion arranged on the bracket body, the first support portion has a accommodating cavity, the bracket body is connected to the side wall of the accommodating cavity, and the deformation portion is located above the door hinge axis.

[0012] According to the above technical means, the accommodating cavity and the area above the hinge axis jointly enclose a space for placing the fender bracket. In actual implementation, the fender bracket is fixed in the accommodating cavity by connecting the bracket body to the side wall of the accommodating cavity, and the deformation portion is located above the hinge axis, thereby, the deformation trend is pre-designed by the deformation portion, so that when a collision occurs, the deformation portion deforms in the designed direction, thereby absorbing the collision energy through the crushing deformation of the deformation portion.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of the deformation parts is two, the two deformation parts are arranged on the bracket body at intervals, and the two deformation parts are distributed in parallel.

[0014] According to the above technical means, multiple parallel deformation parts can disperse the collision energy more evenly, avoiding the collision energy from being concentrated in a certain point or area. This way of evenly dispersing energy can reduce the local stress concentration on the bracket body, so as to improve the overall energy absorption effect of the fender. In addition, multiple deformation parts arranged at intervals gradually deform during the collision process, and can absorb part of the energy one by one. This gradual energy absorption process helps to prolong the energy absorption time of the deformation part, thereby absorbing more energy after the pedestrian's head collision, reducing the acceleration of the head, and reducing the damage to the pedestrian's head.

[0015] Furthermore, the deformation portion is a long strip-shaped groove.

[0016] According to the above technical means, when a collision occurs, the collision energy is converted into plastic deformation energy on the groove by gradually folding and compressing from the notch to the groove bottom. In addition, the setting of the groove provides a controllable deformation path when a collision occurs, ensuring that the collision energy is absorbed and dispersed in a predetermined area, so that it deforms according to the groove structure when a collision occurs, thereby absorbing the collision energy through the crushing deformation of the groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the fender bracket also includes a reinforcement portion, which is arranged around the deformation portion, and the reinforcement portion is located on a side of the fender bracket facing the fender.

[0018] According to the above technical means, reinforcing ribs are provided to increase the overall strength of the fender bracket, improve the supporting strength of the fender bracket to the first supporting portion, and reduce the degree of collapse of the fender toward the fender bracket after a collision.

[0019] Furthermore, the fender bracket also includes at least one positioning portion, and the positioning portion is arranged on the side of the reinforcement portion.

[0020] According to the above technical means, a positioning pin or other alignment tool can be inserted into the positioning part to prevent the fender and the fender bracket from moving or offsetting during the fixing process. By providing the positioning part, the relative position of the fender bracket and the fender can be fixed, thereby facilitating welding and assembly.

[0021] Further, the fender bracket further comprises a plurality of connecting members, the fender bracket is provided with at least one first connecting portion and at least one second connecting portion, and the deformation portion is located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion;

[0022] The first supporting portion is provided with a first flange, the first flange is used to be connected to the vehicle body, and the first connecting portion is arranged corresponding to the first flange;

[0023] The second supporting portion is provided with a second flange, the second flange is used to be connected to the vehicle body, and the second connecting portion and the second flange are correspondingly arranged;

[0024] The first connection portion and the first flange as well as the second connection portion and the second flange are all connected via the connection piece.

[0025] According to the above technical means, the fender bracket can be reliably fixed on the fender, and the installation of the fender bracket and the installation of the fender on the body share the same assembly hole, which can simplify the assembly process and avoid adding additional assembly holes on the fender or the body due to the installation of the fender bracket. This not only saves manufacturing costs, but also makes the fender and the body as a whole have good structural strength.

[0026] Furthermore, the fender also includes a third support portion, the third support portion is connected to the first support portion, and the first support portion is located between the second support portion and the third support portion, the third support portion is used to be connected to the longitudinal beam of the automobile, and the third support portion is located above the wheel of the automobile.

[0027] According to the above technical means, a third support portion is provided to cover and protect the front wheel to prevent mud, stones and other road debris from splashing onto the vehicle body.

[0028] Furthermore, the fender further includes at least one mounting member, the mounting member is disposed on a surface of the third supporting portion facing the longitudinal beam, and the third supporting portion is connected to the longitudinal beam via the mounting member.

[0029] According to the above technical means, a mounting piece is arranged on the side of the third supporting portion facing the longitudinal beam, and correspondingly, a mounting portion corresponding to the mounting piece is arranged on the longitudinal beam, so that the third mounting portion is stably mounted on the longitudinal beam through the mounting piece and the corresponding connection with the mounting portion.

[0030] A car comprises a car body and any one of the above-mentioned fender assemblies connected to the car body.

[0031] Beneficial effects of this application:

[0032] In the fender assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application, the fender bracket is located above the door hinge shaft. When the fender is hit, the fender bracket, as a buffer component between the fender and the hinge shaft, will be hit first to prevent the pedestrian's head from directly hitting the hinge shaft and other structures with high rigidity.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. (if any) in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the numbers used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, for example.

[0045] In the embodiments of the present application, the words "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a fender 1 assembly, including a fender 1 and a fender bracket 2; the fender 1 includes a first support portion 11 and a second support portion 12 arranged on the first support portion 11, the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are both used to connect with the body 31 of the automobile 3, and the first support portion 11 is located above the door hinge axis of the automobile 3, and the second support portion 12 is located on the side of the door of the automobile 3; the fender bracket 2 is arranged on the first support portion 11, and is located on the side of the first support portion 11 facing the door hinge axis.

[0047] It should be noted that the collision area of ​​pedestrians mainly occurs in the front part of the car 3. Since the hinge axis of the front door is a hard point area of ​​the car body with high stiffness and strength, the door in the embodiment of the present application can be a door on the front side of the car 3, so that the fender assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is set in the pedestrian key protection area.

[0048] The first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 of the fender 1 can be formed in one piece so that the fender 1 has good integrity and avoids stress concentration at the connection between the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12, which may cause the fender 1 to break easily at the connection.

[0049] Specifically, the first support portion 11 and the second support portion 12 are both used to connect with the frame of the vehicle body 31 of the automobile 3, so that the fender 1 is assembled with the front cover of the automobile 3 to ensure the appearance integrity and aesthetics of the automobile 3. Among them, one side of the first support portion 11 can be connected to the A-pillar or below the A-pillar, so that the first support portion 11 is located above the hinge axis of the front door of the automobile 3, the second support portion 12 extends from the first support portion 11 toward the bottom of the automobile 3, and one side of the second support portion 12 is located on the side of the front door facing the front of the automobile 3 to form a connection seam between the front door and the second support portion 12, and the other side opposite to the second support portion 12 is located on the side of the front wheel facing the front door, that is, the second support portion 12 is located between the front door and the front wheel.

[0050] Furthermore, the fender bracket 2 is arranged on the first support portion 11 and is located between the door hinge shaft and the fender 1 , that is, the fender bracket 2 is arranged in the space between the first support portion 11 and the door hinge shaft.

[0051] In actual use, the fender bracket 2 is located above the door hinge shaft. When the fender 1 is hit, the fender bracket 2, as a buffer component between the fender 1 and the hinge shaft, will be hit first to prevent the pedestrian's head from directly hitting the hinge shaft and other rigid structures. The fender bracket 2 will absorb a certain amount of energy through its own crushing deformation after the collision, so that the energy transmitted to the rigid structural parts such as the hinge shaft is reduced. By reducing the acceleration of the pedestrian's head hitting the hinge shaft, the collision damage to the pedestrian's head is reduced. Therefore, by setting the fender bracket 2, a buffer is provided between the fender 1 and the hinge shaft, which prevents the pedestrian's head from hitting the hinge shaft and other hard point areas of the vehicle body 31 with high rigidity and strength, so as to improve the protection of pedestrians.

[0052] In this embodiment, a deformation portion 22 can be provided on the bracket body 21 in an integrated manner, and a receiving cavity 111 can be provided on the first support portion 11, and the receiving cavity 111 is communicated with the area above the hinge axis, so that the receiving cavity 111 and the area above the hinge axis together enclose a space for placing the fender bracket 2. In actual implementation, the fender bracket 2 is fixed in the receiving cavity 111 by connecting the bracket body 21 with the side wall of the receiving cavity 111, and the deformation portion 22 is located above the hinge axis. Thus, the deformation portion 22 provides a controllable deformation path to ensure that the collision energy is absorbed and dispersed in a predetermined area, and the deformation trend is pre-designed by the deformation portion 22, so that when a collision occurs, the deformation portion 22 deforms in the designed direction, thereby absorbing the collision energy through the crushing deformation of the deformation portion 22.

[0053] Specifically, two deformation parts 22 are arranged at intervals on the bracket body 21, and the two deformation parts 22 are distributed in parallel. In this way, multiple deformation parts 22 arranged in parallel can disperse the collision energy more evenly, avoiding the collision energy from being concentrated in a certain point or area. This way of evenly dispersing energy can reduce the local stress concentration on the bracket body, so as to improve the overall energy absorption effect of the fender 1. In addition, multiple deformation parts 22 arranged at intervals gradually deform during the collision process, and can absorb part of the energy one by one. This gradual energy absorption process helps to prolong the energy absorption time of the deformation part 22, thereby absorbing more energy after the pedestrian's head collision, reducing the acceleration of the head, and reducing the damage to the pedestrian's head.

[0054] In the embodiment, the deformation part 22 is exemplarily set as a long strip groove. Specifically, the groove bottom faces the hinge axis, and the groove opening faces the fender 1. By setting the deformation part 22 with a groove structure, the collision energy can be converted into plastic deformation energy on the groove by gradually folding and compressing from the groove opening to the groove bottom when a collision occurs. In addition, the setting of the groove provides a controllable deformation path when a collision occurs, ensuring that the collision energy is absorbed and dispersed in a predetermined area, so that the groove structure is deformed when a collision occurs, thereby absorbing the collision energy through the crushing deformation of the groove.

[0055] In this embodiment, the depth, length and number of grooves can be referenced and set according to the calculation results of the simulation. For example, the whole vehicle structure model is first imported into the simulation software. The whole vehicle structure may include components such as the vehicle body 31, exterior trim, front cover, fender 1 and fender bracket 2. The structural model is meshed to make it a mesh model. The boundary conditions of the mesh model are then set. The fender 1 and other key areas are subjected to simulated pedestrian head impact loading. After simulation calculation, post-processing and analysis by the simulation software, the simulation results are output. The output simulation results are used to determine the energy absorption effect of the deformation portion 22 on the fender bracket 2. Therefore, the groove can also be other shapes, such as round, square, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not impose too many restrictions on this. It is sufficient to ensure that the setting of the groove has a good energy absorption effect for the fender bracket 2 set between the fender 1 and the hinge axis.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fender bracket 2 further includes a reinforcing portion 23, which is disposed around the deformation portion 22, and is located on the side of the fender bracket 2 facing the fender 1. Exemplarily, the reinforcing portion 23 is a reinforcing rib disposed on the deformation portion 22, and when the deformation portion 22 is a groove, the reinforcing rib is disposed around the notch of the groove. By providing the reinforcing rib, the overall strength of the fender bracket 2 is increased, the supporting strength of the fender bracket 2 to the first supporting portion 11 is improved, and the degree of collapse of the fender 1 toward the fender bracket 2 after a collision is reduced.

[0057] It should be noted that the configuration structure of the reinforcement portion 23 should be matched with the configuration of the deformation portion 22 , and the reinforcement portion 23 can be adaptively configured in an area that does not affect the crushing deformation capability of the deformation portion 22 .

[0058] In some possible embodiments, the fender bracket 2 is connected to the fender 1 by welding or other methods, and at least one positioning portion 24 is provided on the fender bracket 2. Exemplarily, the positioning portion 24 is a positioning hole, and the number of the positioning holes is two, and the two positioning holes are respectively opened on the sides of the reinforcement portion 23. In actual use, a positioning pin or other alignment tool can be inserted into the positioning hole to ensure that the fender 1 and the fender bracket 2 are located at the accurate welding position before and after welding to avoid movement or offset of the two during the welding process. By providing the positioning portion 24, the relative position of the fender bracket 2 and the fender 1 can be fixed, thereby facilitating welding and assembly.

[0059] In this embodiment, a first flange 112 is provided on the first support portion 11 of the fender 1, and a second flange 121 is provided on the second support portion 12, wherein the first flange 112 is provided with at least one first assembly hole, and the second flange 121 is provided with at least one second assembly hole, and a body assembly hole corresponding to the first assembly hole and the second assembly hole is provided on the body 31 of the automobile 3.

[0060] In order to facilitate the assembly of the fender bracket 2 and the fender 1, the fender bracket 2 also includes a plurality of connecting members 25, and the fender bracket 2 is provided with at least one first connecting portion 26 and at least one second connecting portion 27. Specifically, the first connecting portion 26 and the second connecting portion 27 are respectively located on both sides of the deformation portion 22, and the first connecting portion 26 is arranged corresponding to the first flange 112, and the second connecting portion 27 is arranged corresponding to the second flange 121. By arranging a third assembly hole corresponding to the first assembly hole on the first connecting portion 26, and arranging a fourth assembly hole corresponding to the second assembly hole on the second connecting portion 27, the connecting member 25 sequentially fixes the first connecting portion 26 and the first flange 112 to the vehicle body 31 through the first assembly hole, the third assembly hole and the vehicle body assembly hole, and similarly, the connecting member 25 sequentially fixes the second connecting portion 27 and the second flange 121 to the vehicle body 31 through the second assembly hole, the fourth assembly hole and the vehicle body assembly hole. In this way, the fender bracket 2 can be reliably fixed on the fender 1, and the installation of the fender bracket 2 and the installation of the fender 1 on the vehicle body 31 share the same assembly hole, which can simplify the assembly process and avoid adding additional assembly holes on the fender 1 or the vehicle body 31 due to the installation of the fender bracket 2. This not only saves manufacturing costs, but also makes the fender 1 and the vehicle body 31 have good structural strength as a whole.

[0061] Exemplarily, the connecting member 25 can be a structural member such as a bolt, and the first assembly hole, the second assembly hole, the third assembly hole, the fourth assembly hole and the body assembly hole are all bolt holes matching the bolts, that is, by locking the bolts and the bolt holes, a reliable connection between the fender bracket 2, the fender 1 and the body 31 can be achieved.

[0062] In this embodiment, the fender 1 further includes a third support portion 13, the third support portion 13 is connected to the first support portion 11, and the first support portion 11 is located between the second support portion 12 and the third support portion 13. It can be understood that the first support portion 11 is located below the A-pillar, the second support portion 12 extends from the A-pillar to the bottom of the vehicle body 31, and the third support portion 13 extends from the first support portion 11 to the front side of the vehicle body 31, so that the third support portion 13 is located above the wheel of the automobile 3. Specifically, the third support portion 13 is used to connect with the longitudinal beam of the automobile 3. By providing the third support portion 13, the front wheel and its suspension system are covered and protected to prevent mud, gravel and other road debris from splashing onto the vehicle body 31.

[0063] Exemplarily, the third support portion 13 can be connected to the longitudinal beam of the automobile 3 by welding, bolt connection or bonding. In this embodiment, a mounting member 14 is provided on the side of the third support portion 13 facing the longitudinal beam, and correspondingly, a mounting portion corresponding to the mounting member 14 is provided on the longitudinal beam, so that the third mounting portion is stably mounted on the longitudinal beam. For example, when the mounting member 14 is a fastener such as a bolt, the mounting portion is a fastening hole matching the bolt, and the bolt is locked in the fastening hole to achieve the connection between the mounting member 14 and the mounting portion. Alternatively, the mounting member 14 is a structural member such as a buckle, and the mounting portion can be a slot, and the connection between the mounting member 14 and the mounting portion can also be achieved by the buckle being clamped in the slot.

[0064] In actual use, the mounting member 14 and the third support portion 13 can be integrally processed by an integral molding method, or the mounting member 14 can be processed separately and then fixed to the third support portion 13 by further processing. The specific structure of the mounting member 14 is not too limited in the embodiment of the present application, and it is sufficient to ensure that the mounting member 14 can match the longitudinal beam and be firmly connected.

[0065] This embodiment further provides a car 3, comprising a car body, on which the above-mentioned fender 1 assembly is arranged.

[0066] Among them, the car body can be a fuel model, an electric model, or a hybrid model, etc. The car body includes a front, middle and rear body 31 structure, a chassis structure and a driving system, etc., wherein the front body 31 structure includes a front cover, and the fender 1 assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application is connected between the front cover and the front door, wherein the fender 1 part is located above the wheel, and the fender bracket 2 is located in the limited space between the hinge shaft and the fender 1.

[0067] By providing a fender bracket 2 on the fender 1, and the fender bracket 2 is located above the door hinge shaft, when the fender 1 is hit, the fender bracket 2 as a buffer component between the fender 1 and the hinge shaft will be hit first, preventing the pedestrian's head from directly hitting the hinge shaft and other structures with greater rigidity, and the fender bracket 2 will absorb a certain amount of energy through its own crushing deformation after the collision, so that the energy transmitted to the hinge shaft and other rigid structural parts is reduced, and the acceleration of the pedestrian's head hitting the hinge shaft is reduced, thereby reducing the collision damage to the pedestrian's head. Therefore, by providing the fender bracket 2, a buffer is provided between the fender 1 and the hinge shaft, preventing the pedestrian's head from hitting the hinge shaft and other hard point areas of the vehicle body 31 with higher rigidity and strength, so as to improve the protection of pedestrians.
