[0028] The fender is an important part of the exterior parts of a vehicle, and it is often connected to the front connecting plate of the vehicle side wall through a mounting bracket. Currently, the installation of the fender mostly adopts the form of bolt and through-hole cooperation. However, since the size of the through-hole is basically determined, it is not easy to adjust the position of the mounting bracket when connecting to the front connecting plate of the side wall and the fender, which makes it difficult for the fender to match the gap with the surrounding parts and increases the assembly difficulty of the fender.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , to solve the problem that the installation points of the fender in the existing fender installation structure cannot be adjusted, resulting in difficult assembly, this application provides a fender installation structure 100. The fender installation structure 100 includes a fender 10, a mounting bracket 20, and a front connecting plate 30 of the side wall. The fender 10 is connected to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall through the mounting bracket 20. The mounting bracket 20 includes a main body portion 21 and a connecting portion 22. One end of the main body portion 21 is connected to the fender 10 along the Z direction, and the other end is used to be connected to a mudguard (not shown in the figure) along the Z direction. The connecting portion 22 is connected to one side of the main body portion 21 along the Y direction, and the connecting portion 22 is attached to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall along the Y direction and welded to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall. Among them, the mounting bracket 20 can move along the X direction and the Z direction to adjust the welding position of the connecting portion 22 relative to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall.

[0030] It is understandable that in the present application, by dividing the mounting bracket 20 into a main body portion 21 and a connecting portion 22, on the one hand, the main body portion 21 provides connection points for the fender 10 and the mudguard, integrating the installation functions of the fender 10 and the mudguard on one bracket, which is beneficial to achieving the lightweight of the whole vehicle. On the other hand, by fitting the connecting portion 22 with the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall, the connection strength between the mounting bracket 20 and the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall is effectively ensured. At the same time, since the connecting portion 22 and the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall are fixed by welding and are not limited by the size of the through hole in the bolt fixing method, the welding point position of the mounting bracket 20 relative to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall can be adjusted. That is, during the installation process of the fender 10, the fender 10 can achieve pre-adjustment in the X and Z directions relative to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall, and the adjustable amount becomes larger, thus greatly shortening the assembly adjustment time and significantly reducing the assembly difficulty of the fender mounting structure 100.

[0031] Generally, each component in the fender mounting structure 100 is positioned and installed through a welding fixture. On this basis, the pre-adjustment of the mounting bracket 20 in the X and Z directions relative to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall can be achieved by adding or reducing gaskets on the welding fixture, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the fender 10.

[0032] Further, during assembly, as Figure 2 shown, the mounting bracket 20 can be first welded to the front connecting plate 30 of the side wall, and then the fender 10 is installed on the mounting bracket 20 to solve problems such as large assembly errors.

[0033] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the main body portion 21 includes a first mounting plate 211, a second mounting plate 212, and a main board 213 connecting the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212. Among them, both the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212 are arranged at an angle with the main board 213, and the first mounting plate 211 is connected to the fender 10 along the Z direction, and the second mounting plate 212 is used to connect to the mudguard along the Z direction.

[0034] That is, the main body portion 21, the first mounting plate 211, and the second mounting plate 212 can form a Z-shaped structure, such that the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212 are arranged substantially parallel to the corresponding connection surfaces on the fender 10 and the mudguard, which is beneficial to improving the connection effect between the mounting bracket 20 and the fender 10 and the mudguard and reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0035] Further, in one embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, mounting holes 201 are provided on the first mounting plate 211, and mating holes 101 are provided on the fender 10. The fender mounting structure 100 further includes a first fastener 40, and the first fastener 40 passes through the mounting hole 201 and the mating hole 101 to fixedly connect the mounting bracket 20 and the fender 10. In this way, the connection method between the mounting bracket 20 and the fender 10 is simple, which can effectively improve the connection efficiency between the mounting bracket 20 and the fender 10, and is convenient for subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the fender mounting structure 100 further includes a second fastener 50, and the second fastener 50 passes through and is welded to the second mounting plate 212. Wherein, the second fastener 50 is used to connect the mudguard. By welding the second fastener 50 to the second mounting plate 212, when connecting the mudguard through the second fastener 50, only the corresponding hole structure on the mudguard needs to be aligned with the second fastener 50 to achieve the connection, thereby greatly improving the connection efficiency of the mudguard and shortening the assembly time.

[0037] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, reinforcing ribs 2131 are provided on the main board 213, and the reinforcing ribs 2131 extend along the Z direction to both ends of the main board 213 to improve the structural strength of the main board 213.

[0038] Specifically, both ends of the reinforcing rib 2131 extend to the joints of the main board 213 and the first mounting plate 211 and the main board 213 and the second mounting plate 212 respectively, thereby improving the connection strength between the main board 213 and the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212.

[0039] Further, in one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the height H of the reinforcing rib 2131 protruding from the surface of the main board 213 satisfies 2mm ≤ H ≤ 4mm. In this way, it is convenient for the processing of the reinforcing rib 2131, and the strengthening effect of the reinforcing rib 2131 on the main board 213 can be ensured. Specifically, if the height H of the reinforcing rib 2131 > 4mm, the height of the reinforcing rib 2131 is relatively high, which not only increases the processing difficulty and cost, but also increases the probability of interference with other components. If the height H of the reinforcing rib 2131 < 2mm, the height of the reinforcing rib 2131 is relatively small, which is not conducive to improving the structural strength of the main board 213.

[0040] Exemplarily, the height H of the reinforcing rib 2131 can be 2mm, 2.4mm, 2.8mm, 3.2mm, 3.6mm or 4mm, etc., which are not listed one by one here. In this embodiment, the height of the reinforcing rib 2131 is preferably set to 3mm.

[0041] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the width W of the reinforcing rib 2131 in the Y direction satisfies 10 mm ≤ W ≤ 20 mm. In this way, the reinforcing effect of the reinforcing rib 2131 on the main board 213 can be further improved. Specifically, if the width W of the reinforcing rib 2131 > 20 mm, the width of the reinforcing rib 2131 is relatively large, which increases the processing difficulty and results in an increase in cost. If the width W of the reinforcing rib 2131 < 10 mm, the width of the reinforcing rib 2131 is relatively small, which is not conducive to improving the structural strength of the main board 213.

[0042] Exemplarily, the width W of the reinforcing rib 2131 can be 10 mm, 12 mm, 14 mm, 16 mm, 18 mm or 20 mm, etc., which are not listed one by one here. In this embodiment, the width of the reinforcing rib 2131 is preferably set to 14 mm.

[0043] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the mounting bracket 20 further includes a first flanging 23, and the first flanging 23 is connected to the main board 213 and the second mounting plate 212. Among them, the first flanging 23 forms a connecting portion 22. In this way, the first flanging 23 can not only improve the connection strength between the main board 213 and the second mounting plate 212, but also realize the welding between the mounting bracket 20 and the front side wall connecting plate 30, and improve the reliability of the connection between the mounting bracket 20 and the front side wall connecting plate 30.

[0044] Furthermore, in one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the mounting bracket 20 further includes a second flanging 24. The second flanging 24 is arranged on the side of the main body portion 21 away from the connecting portion 22 in the Y direction, and the second flanging 24 is respectively connected to the main board 213 and the first mounting plate 211. In this way, the connection strength between the main board 213 and the first mounting plate 211 can be effectively improved.

[0045] Among them, the width range of the second flanging 24 can be set to 2 mm to 4 mm. In this application, it is preferably set to 3 mm. Of course, it can also be set to 2 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.2 mm, 3.6 mm or 4 mm, etc.

[0046] To further improve the overall structural strength of the mounting bracket 20 and ensure the stiffness of the mounting point of the fender 10, in one embodiment, the main body portion 21, the connecting portion 22 and the second flanging 24 can be set as an integral structure.

[0047] In summary, through the arrangement of structures such as the reinforcing ribs 2131 penetrating both ends of the main board 213 on the mounting bracket 20, the first flanging 23, and the second flanging 24 in this application, the structure of the mounting bracket 20 is greatly optimized, thereby effectively improving the structural strength of the mounting bracket 20. Moreover, the overall structure of the mounting bracket 20 is small and highly integrated, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the vehicle body. In addition, through the welding between the connecting portion 22 and the front side wall connecting plate 30, the matching adjustment between each other is convenient, which can ensure the adjustable amount of the fender 10 installation and is beneficial to the appearance DTS (Dimension Technical Specifications) control of the fender 10 and the door.

[0048] This application also provides a vehicle, which includes the fender mounting structure 100 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0049] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of concise description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0050] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of this application, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of this application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application shall be subject to the appended claims.
