Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, and in particular to a vehicle and a fender. Background Art

[0002] The fender of a vehicle is a shield plate that prevents mud and sand from splashing when the vehicle is driving. The fender is generally formed by pressing a thin plate, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an upper plate 01, a front fender 02 and a rear fender 03. The upper plate 01 is connected to the main beam or sub-beam or other connecting parts of the vehicle through a bracket. The front fender 02 and the rear fender 03 are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction of the upper plate 01. The length direction of the upper plate 01 is consistent with the driving direction of the vehicle.

[0003] In order to enhance the strength of the fender in the prior art, flanges 04 are provided on both sides of the fender in the width direction to support the fender in the length direction. However, the lower edge of the flange 04 is a shearing surface formed by the plate through a shearing machine, and the shearing surface is an uneven surface with burrs, etc. When a vehicle is driving on a bumpy road, it will shake and bump, causing the fender to twist as the vehicle shakes and bumps. Stress concentration is formed on the shearing surface of the lower edge of the flange 04, causing the flange 04 to crack. The flange 04 loses the function of strengthening the side strength of the fender and improving the overall stiffness of the fender, causing the fender to fail.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problem of fender failure due to flange cracking has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently by those skilled in the art. Summary of the invention

[0033] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 .

[0034] Some embodiments of the present application disclose a fender, comprising an upper flat plate 1, a front baffle, a rear baffle and a flange 2, and also comprising a folded edge 21 arranged at the lower edge of the flange 2, and the folded edge 21 is bent and formed integrally with the flange 2.

[0035] The folded edge 21 and the flange 2 are bent integrally to form a smooth surface at the lower edge of the flange 2, and the rough surface with burrs etc. is bent toward one side of the flange 2 as the folded edge 21 is bent. The smooth surface between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 withstands the torsion caused by the swinging and bumping of the vehicle.

[0036] The present application provides a folded edge 21 at the lower edge of the flange 2 so that the lower edge of the flange 2 forms a smooth surface. The smooth surface is used to withstand the torsion caused by the swinging and bumping of the fender due to the vehicle, and no stress concentration is formed at the lower edge of the flange 2, thereby reducing the risk of cracking of the lower edge of the flange 2. At the same time, the folded edge 21 can support the length direction of the flange 2 to a certain extent, further enhance the strength of the flange 2, and improve the ability of the flange to resist the torsion caused by the swinging and bumping of the fender due to the vehicle, thereby effectively solving the problem of fender failure caused by cracking of the flange.

[0037] The fender disclosed in the present application is modified on the basis of the original fender with the flange 2, and the upper plate 1, the front fender and the rear fender of the fender remain unchanged, and the installation structure of the fender will not be changed, thus ensuring the continuity of the existing process without excessively increasing the cost.

[0038] The present application manufactures the folded edge 21 through a bending forming process, which does not require a dedicated machine or tooling, and has simple manufacturing, low cost, and high efficiency.

[0039] In order to further improve the strength of the flange 2, the fender disclosed in the present application further includes a reinforcing rod 3, which is sandwiched between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2. The reinforcing rod 3 can strengthen the strength of the flange 2 along its own length direction, greatly enhancing the anti-twisting ability and overall strength of the fender, and the reinforcing rod 3 cooperates with the folded edge 21 to ensure that the fender will not cause the flange 2 to crack under harsh working conditions, such as bumps, twists and shakes, effectively extending the service life of the fender and saving the later maintenance costs of the fender.

[0040] The reinforcing member sandwiched between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 is not limited to a rod-shaped structure, but may also be a plate-shaped structure. In the embodiment where the reinforcing member is a plate-shaped structure, preferably, the plate-shaped reinforcing member is in contact with the flange 2.

[0041] In this solution, the length direction of the reinforcing rod 3 is consistent with the length direction of the flange 2 , and is mainly used to enhance the strength of the flange 2 .

[0042] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this scheme, a front baffle and a rear baffle are respectively arranged at both ends of the length direction of the upper flat plate 1, and flanges 2 are arranged on both sides of the width direction of the upper flat plate 1. The flanges 2 are arranged along the length direction of the upper flat plate 1. It can be understood that the length direction of the flanges 2 is consistent with the length direction of the upper flat plate 1, and accordingly, the length direction of the reinforcing rod 3 is also consistent with the length direction of the upper flat plate 1.

[0043] The length of the reinforcing rod 3 can be equal to the length of the flange 2 , or can be shorter than the length of the flange 2 .

[0044] In an embodiment where the length of the reinforcing rod 3 is equal to the length of the flange 2, there is only one reinforcing rod 3 in the length direction of the flange 2, but the number of reinforcing rods 3 arranged in the length direction perpendicular to the flange 2 can be one, but is not limited to one, that is, multiple reinforcing rods 3 can be arranged side by side in the length direction perpendicular to the flange 2.

[0045] In an embodiment where the length of the reinforcing rod 3 is shorter than the length of the flange 2, multiple reinforcing rods 3 of equal or unequal lengths are arranged in the length direction of the flange 2. The number of reinforcing rods 3 arranged in the length direction perpendicular to the flange 2 can be one, but is not limited to one, that is, multiple reinforcing rods 3 can be arranged side by side in the length direction perpendicular to the flange 2.

[0046] The reinforcing rod 3 is not limited to being arranged along the length direction of the flange 2. The reinforcing rod 3 can also be arranged along the length direction perpendicular to the flange 2. At this time, one end of the reinforcing rod 3 is connected to the flange 2, and the other end of the reinforcing rod 3 is connected to the folded edge 21. The reinforcing rod 3 provides inclined support for the flange 2.

[0047] Preferably, the reinforcing rod 3 is clamped between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 during the bending process of the folded edge 21, and there is no need to install the reinforcing rod 3 separately, so as to simplify the processing steps of the fender.

[0048] In order to further enhance the stability of the installation of the reinforcing rod 3, in some embodiments of the present application, the reinforcing rod 3 is fixedly connected to the folded edge 21 and / or the flange 2. Specifically, the reinforcing rod 3 can be fixedly connected to the folded edge 21, the reinforcing rod 3 can be fixedly connected to the flange 2, and the reinforcing rod 3 can be fixedly connected to both the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 to prevent the reinforcing rod 3 from falling off.

[0049] There are many ways to fix the reinforcing rod 3 to the folded edge 21 and / or the flange 2:

[0050] The first one is that the reinforcing rod 3 is welded to the folded edge 21 and / or the flange 2;

[0051] The second type is that both ends of the reinforcing rod 3 are provided with hooks arranged toward the folded edge 21, and the reinforcing rod 3 is connected with both ends of the folded edge 21 or the flange 2 by the hooks;

[0052] The third method is that a through hole is provided on the folded edge 21, a tying rope is provided in the through hole, and the reinforcing rod 3 is fixed on the folded edge 21 through the cooperation of the tying rope and the through hole.

[0053] The manner in which the reinforcing rod 3 is fixedly connected to the folded edge 21 and / or the flange 2 is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and may also be other manners, which are not specifically limited here.

[0054] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the folding edge 21 includes an arc plate and a flat plate, wherein one end of the arc plate is connected to the flange 2, and the other end of the arc plate is connected to the flat plate.

[0055] A space for clamping a reinforcing rod 3 is formed between the circular arc plate and the flange 2 , and a reinforcing rod 3 is clamped between the circular arc plate and the flange 2 .

[0056] The distance between the upper plate 1 and the flange 2 is less than or equal to the rod diameter of the reinforcing rod 3 to prevent the reinforcing rod 3 from escaping from the gap between the plate and the flange 2. The angle between the upper plate 1 and the flange 2 is an acute angle. Preferably, the upper plate 1 is parallel to the flange 2, and the angle between the upper plate 1 and the flange 2 is 0°.

[0057] In some other embodiments of the present application, the folded edge 21 is flat, and the angle between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 is 0°-150°.

[0058] When the angle between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 is 0°, the folded edge 21 is bent upward 180° from the outer edge of the flange 2 and then fits with the flange 2 .

[0059] In the embodiment where the folded edge 21 is a flat plate, a reinforcing rod 3 may be provided between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2, or may not be provided.

[0060] When a reinforcing rod 3 is arranged between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 , the angle between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 is an acute angle, so as to ensure that the reinforcing rod 3 can be sandwiched between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 .

[0061] When no reinforcing rod 3 is provided between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2, the setting range of the angle between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 is relatively large. Preferably, the angle between the folded edge 21 and the flange 2 is close to 90° to enhance the supporting capacity of the folded edge 21 to the flange 2.

[0062] No matter the folded edge 21 is a flat plate or a combination of a circular arc plate and a flat plate, the bending width of the folded edge 21 is not specifically limited and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0063] The bending directions of the folded edges 21 on both sides of the upper plate 1 may be the same or different.

[0064] In the embodiment where the bending directions of the folded edges 21 on both sides of the upper plate 1 are the same, the folded edges 21 on both sides are simultaneously bent toward the outside of the fender, or the folded edges 21 on both sides are simultaneously bent toward the inside of the fender, such as Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment does not occupy the space in the width direction of the fender and can hide the rough surface with burrs and the like.

[0065] In the embodiment where the bending directions of the folded edges 21 on both sides of the upper flat plate 1 are different, one of the folded edges 21 on both sides is bent toward the outside of the fender, and the other of the folded edges 21 on both sides is bent toward the inside of the fender.

[0066] In order to further improve the strength of the fender, the upper plate 1 in this solution is a corrugated upper plate. Specifically, corrugations are arranged along the length direction of the upper plate 1 to enhance the strength of the upper plate 1 along its own length direction to better resist deformation of the fender caused by shaking and bumping of the vehicle.

[0067] The front baffle and the rear baffle may also be corrugated baffles to enhance the strength of the front baffle and the rear baffle.

[0068] The present solution is not limited to improving the strength of the fender by corrugation, and the strength of the upper flat plate 1 may also be enhanced by providing a reinforcing plate or reinforcing rod on the upper flat plate 1 .

[0069] In this solution, the front fender, the rear fender and the upper flat plate 1 are integrally pressed and formed to simplify the processing steps of the fender, reduce the processing cost of the fender, and ensure the connection strength between the front fender, the rear fender and the upper flat plate 1.

[0070] In this solution, the front baffle and the rear baffle can be connected to the upper flat plate 1 by welding, and the connection process is not limited by molds, etc., and the flexibility of mudguard production is relatively high.

[0071] The fender may be a rubber fender, an engineering plastic fender, or a metal fender.

[0072] The present application also discloses a vehicle, comprising a fender, wherein the fender is the fender recorded in any one of the above schemes.

[0073] Since the fender has the above-mentioned technical effects, a vehicle having the fender also has the same technical effects, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and an explanation of the technical principles used, and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. The scope of application involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solution formed by a specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above-mentioned application concept.
