[0047] The fender bracket 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0048] As Figure 1 and Figure 7 shown, the fender bracket 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is for a vehicle 100 and includes a body portion 1, a first connection portion 21, a second connection portion 22, a second connection portion 22, and a mounting portion 3.

[0049] Specifically, referring to Att Figure 1 achment Figure 7 and Att Figure 8 achment Figure 7One end in the left - right direction shown abuts against the upper longitudinal beam 20. The first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are all connected to the body portion 1. The first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are parallel, and at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are located in different planes. The first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are used to connect to the upper longitudinal beam 20 of the vehicle 100, and can connect the fender bracket 10 to the upper longitudinal beam 20 at three places spaced apart from the upper longitudinal beam 20, improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20.

[0050] Specifically, refer to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 As shown, first mounting holes 24 are provided on each of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23. Since at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are located in different planes, the connection lines of the center points of the first mounting holes 24 of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 form a triangle, which can increase the structural stability of the fender bracket 10 and improve the reliability of the connection between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20. Compared with the prior art in which the traditional bracket is linearly arranged and fastened to the cantilever, resulting in rotational deformation under the fastening torque, the assembly stability of the fender bracket 10 can be improved.

[0051] In a specific example, the first mounting holes 24 are all oblong holes with a size of 10×12 mm, which can achieve the adjustability of the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 in the width direction and the length direction of the vehicle 100 (refer to the front - rear direction shown in the attached Figure 7 ). Specifically, the adjustment amount in the width direction of the vehicle 100 is 3 mm, and the adjustment amount in the length direction of the vehicle 100 is 2 mm, which can absorb the cumulative error of the front - cabin opening size to a certain extent.

[0052] It can be understood that, as Figure 1 shown, the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are arranged in parallel, which can eliminate the influence of the angular component and avoid the deviation of the assembly gap between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 at different positions.

[0053] Furthermore, refer to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2As shown, the mounting portion 3 is connected to one end of the body portion 1 facing away from the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23, and is used to connect to the fender. The mounting portion 3 and the body portion 1 form an angle with each other, which can improve the structural strength of the fender bracket 10 and facilitate the matching and connection between the mounting portion 3 and the fender. Specifically, the fender and the mounting portion 3 are connected by fasteners. The mounting portion 3 is provided with a second mounting hole 31, and the fasteners are passed through the second mounting hole 31 to connect the fender and the fender bracket 10. The disassembly and assembly are convenient, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the vehicle 100, and the connection strength is high, which can ensure the reliability and stability of the connection between the fender and the fender bracket 10.

[0054] In the prior art, the fender bracket is divided into two parts. The first part is welded to the outer plate of the front upper longitudinal beam, and the welding level is relatively deep. The second part is bolted to the first part through a fixture at the front cabin assembly station. The reference undergoes multiple conversions, and the cumulative tolerance is large. The accuracy of the fender is poor and requires repeated debugging, which affects the production line rhythm and reduces the production efficiency. However, the body portion 1, the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, the third connecting portion 23, and the mounting portion 3 of the present utility model are integral parts, which can improve the production efficiency of the fender bracket 10, improve the structural strength of the fender bracket 10, simplify the assembly process of the vehicle 100, reduce the cumulative tolerance of the process, facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the fender bracket 10, and facilitate the maintenance and assembly of the vehicle 100.

[0055] It can be understood that in the related art, due to the weak rigidity of the fender, its position and accuracy are determined by the fender bracket. The left and right fender brackets are affected by the cumulative welding tolerance of the engine compartment, and the dimensional stability is poor. As a result, it is difficult to ensure the opening dimensions of the left and right fenders after the fenders are assembled, which affects the left and right gap surface differences between the fenders and the engine hood, the front bumper, and the front headlights. However, in the present utility model, the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are arranged in parallel, which can eliminate the influence of the angular component and avoid the deviation of the assembly gap at different positions between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20. Since at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are located in different planes, the structural stability of the fender bracket 10 can be increased, the reliability and stability of the connection between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 can be improved, the installation accuracy of the fender bracket 10 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the fender and the opening dimension accuracy of the fender, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the fender and the engine hood, the front headlights, and the front bumper, ensuring the left and right symmetry of the gap surface difference between the fender and the engine hood, the front headlights, and the front bumper, and avoiding causing wind noise and ensuring the quality of the vehicle 100.

[0056] According to the fender bracket 10 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by arranging the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22 and the third connecting portion 23 in parallel, the influence of the angular component can be eliminated, and the assembly gap deviation at different positions between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 can be avoided. By having at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22 and the third connecting portion 23 located in different planes, the structural stability of the fender bracket 10 can be increased, the reliability and stability of the connection between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 can be improved, and the installation accuracy of the fender bracket 10 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy of the fender and the opening size accuracy of the fender.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 As shown, the body portion 1 includes a plurality of connected sub-boards 11, and two adjacent sub-boards 11 form an angle with each other, which can improve the structural strength of the body portion 1 and the reliability of the fender bracket 10. The first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22 and the third connecting portion 23 are respectively connected to three of the sub-boards 11, so that at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22 and the third connecting portion 23 can be conveniently located in different planes and the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22 and the third connecting portion 23 are spaced apart to be connected to different positions of the upper longitudinal beam 20.

[0058] In a further embodiment of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the sub-board 11 is triangular, and the triangle has stability, which can improve the structural stability of the plurality of sub-boards 11, and further improve the structural strength and structural stability of the fender bracket 10, avoid the fender bracket 10 from rotating and deforming under the fastening torque, and ensure the reliability of the fender bracket 10.

[0059] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the plurality of sub-boards 11 include a first board 111, a second board 112 and a third board 113. The first board 111 is connected to the first connecting portion 21, the second board 112 is connected to the second connecting portion 22, and the third board 113 is connected to the third connecting portion 23. The second board 112 is located between the first board 111 and the third board 113, and the second connecting portion 22 is formed by partially recessing downward from the second board 112, which can be understood as adding a counterbore rib at the connection position between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20, thereby further strengthening the overall rigidity of the fender bracket 10, facilitating the accuracy control of the fender bracket 10, improving the connection quality between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20. The first connecting portion 21 and the third connecting portion 23 are respectively lugs formed on the first board 111 and the third board 113, which can also play a role in strengthening the rigidity of the fender bracket 10 and ensuring the reliability and stability of the fender bracket 10.

[0060] In a specific example, referring to the attached Figure 1 As shown, the multiple sub-boards 11 further include a fourth board 114. The first board 111, the second board 112, the fourth board 114, and the third board 113 are arranged and connected in sequence, and the first board 111, the second board 112, the fourth board 114, and the third board 113 are all triangular.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 As shown, a weight-reducing hole 12 is provided on the body portion 1, which can save the production and processing materials of the fender bracket 10, reduce the weight of the fender bracket 10, lower the cost of the fender bracket 10, and, when assembling the fender bracket 10 to the vehicle 100, it is convenient to synchronously observe the deformation of the parts inside the fender bracket 10 and the welding point connection quality, facilitate the timely discovery of the quality problems of the fender bracket 10, and can timely replace the fender bracket 10 that meets the requirements, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the fender bracket 10 and reducing the maintenance frequency and maintenance cost of the vehicle 100.

[0062] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 As shown, the weight-reducing holes 12 can be multiple and arranged at intervals. By providing multiple weight-reducing holes 12, the weight of the fender bracket 10 can be further reduced, the production and processing materials of the fender bracket 10 can be saved, the cost of the fender bracket 10 can be reduced, and it is convenient to observe the deformation of the parts at different positions and the welding point connection quality from the multiple weight-reducing holes 12, which is more convenient to observe the abnormality of the fender bracket 10.

[0063] The present utility model also proposes a bracket tooling 200 for assembling the fender bracket 10 to the upper longitudinal beam 20, and the fender bracket 10 is the fender bracket 10 in the above embodiments.

[0064] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the bracket tooling 200 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a positioning component 4 and a clamping component 5.

[0065] Specifically, referring to the attached Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component 4 is adapted to be positioned on the vehicle body 101 of the vehicle 100, and there are two clamping components 5 which are respectively arranged in the length direction of the positioning component 4 (referring to the attached Figure 3At both ends in the left - right direction (as shown), two clamping components 5 are respectively used to fix two fender brackets 10. It can be understood that by including the positioning component 4 and two clamping components 5 arranged at both ends in the length direction of the positioning component 4 in the bracket tooling 200, the left and right fender brackets 10 can be assembled synchronously, ensuring the relative positions of the two fender brackets 10, reducing the influence brought by the attitude deviation of the front cabin of the vehicle body 101, ensuring the relative positions of the assembled fender brackets 10 in the width direction of the vehicle 100, reducing the tolerance accumulation in the subsequent fender assembly process, improving the assembly accuracy of the fenders, and thus ensuring the symmetry of the left - right gap surface difference between the fenders and the headlamps, front bumpers and engine hoods. Preferably, the gap differences between the two fender brackets 10 and the headlamps, front bumpers and engine hoods are less than or equal to 1.5 mm.

[0066] Moreover, the bracket tooling 200 of the present utility model is more convenient to operate. It only requires one person to operate and can be completed in one process, greatly reducing the labor cost, shortening the working hours, and reducing the occupation of the work station.

[0067] According to the bracket tooling 200 of the embodiment of the present utility model, by including the positioning component 4 and two clamping components 5 arranged at both ends in the length direction of the positioning component 4 in the bracket tooling 200, the influence brought by the attitude deviation of the front cabin of the vehicle body 101 can be reduced, the relative positions of the assembled fender brackets 10 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 can be ensured, the tolerance accumulation in the subsequent fender assembly process can be reduced, the assembly accuracy of the fenders can be improved, and thus the symmetry of the left - right gap surface difference between the fenders and the headlamps, front bumpers and engine hoods can be ensured.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present utility model, with reference to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, positioning holes 201 penetrating in the up - down direction (as Figure 8 shown) are provided on the upper longitudinal beam 20. The positioning component 4 includes a positioning body 41. At both ends in the length direction of the positioning body 41 (the left - right direction shown in reference to Figure 3 ), first positioning pin assemblies 42 are provided. Each first positioning pin assembly 42 includes a first positioning pin 421 and a first adjustment structure 422. The two first positioning pins 421 are respectively inserted into the positioning holes 201 of the two upper longitudinal beams 20. Through the cooperation of the first positioning pins 421 and the positioning holes 201, the bracket tooling 200 can be limited in the front - rear direction (as Figure 7 shown) and the left - right direction (as Figure 7 shown) of the vehicle 100, avoiding the offset of the positioning body 41 in the front - rear direction or the left - right direction, ensuring the stability of the positioning component 4, and further ensuring the installation of the fender brackets 10.

[0069] Specifically, referring to the attached Figure 5 As shown, the length of the first positioning pin 421 is greater than or equal to 5 mm, which can prevent the first positioning pin 421 from coming out of the positioning hole 201, and avoid the situation where one side of the first positioning pin 421 is inserted into the positioning hole 201 while the other side of the first positioning pin 421 cannot cooperate with the positioning hole 201 due to the different height differences between the positioning body 41 and the left and right upper longitudinal beams 20. This further ensures the positioning effectiveness of the first positioning pin 421 and prevents the positioning body 41 from shifting in the front-rear direction or left-right direction.

[0070] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 5 As shown, the first adjustment structure 422 is used to adjust the first positioning pin 421 in the height direction (the up-down direction shown in the attached Figure 8 figure), length direction, and width direction of the vehicle 100. The structure of the positioning body 41 can be adjusted according to different vehicle models to adapt to multiple vehicle models, improving the compatibility and sharing rate of the bracket tooling 200. It should be noted that the outer peripheries of the fixed ends of the two first positioning pins 421 are respectively abutted against the two upper longitudinal beams 20, which can realize the limit of the positioning body 41 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 in the up-down direction, prevent the positioning body 41 from moving downward continuously, ensure the stability of the positioning assembly 4, and thus ensure the installation of the fender bracket 10.

[0071] In a further embodiment of the present invention, referring to the attached Figure 5 As shown, the first adjustment structure 422 includes a first adjustment block 423, a second adjustment block 424, and a third adjustment block 425. The first adjustment block 423 is connected to the positioning body 41. Along the height direction of the vehicle 100, a first adjustment gasket 426 is provided between the first adjustment block 423 and the positioning body 41. The position of the first adjustment block 423 in the height direction of the vehicle 100 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the first adjustment gasket 426, and then the position of the first positioning pin 421 in the height direction of the vehicle 100 can be adjusted. Optionally, the thickness of the first adjustment gasket 426 is 5 mm.

[0072] Furthermore, referring to the attached Figure 5 As shown, the second adjustment block 424 is connected to the first adjustment block 423.

[0074] In a further embodiment of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4 As shown, stop members 411 are provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the positioning body 41. The stop members 411 extend in the up-and-down direction. The lower ends of the two stop members 411 are respectively in contact with the upper surfaces of the two lower longitudinal beams 30, and can be in contact with the lower longitudinal beams 30 from both ends in the longitudinal direction of the positioning body 41, ensuring the up-and-down limit of the positioning assembly 4 with respect to the lower longitudinal beams 30, preventing the bracket tooling 200 from moving further downward, ensuring the stability of the positioning assembly 4, and thus ensuring the installation of the fender bracket 10. It should be noted that by respectively abutting the two stop members 411 against the two lower longitudinal beams 30, and the outer circumferences of the fixed ends of the two first positioning pins 421 are respectively in contact with the two upper longitudinal beams 20, the bracket tooling 200 can be supported from four places, preventing the bracket tooling 200 from moving further downward, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the bracket tooling 200.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present utility model, referring to the attached Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 5 includes a second positioning pin assembly 51 and a clamping mechanism 52. The second positioning pin assembly 51 is connected to the positioning assembly 4 and includes a second positioning pin 511 and a second adjustment structure 512. The second positioning pin 511 is connected to the mounting portion 3, and the second adjustment structure 512 is used to adjust the second positioning pin 511 in the height direction and the width direction of the vehicle 100. The structure of the clamping assembly 5 can be adjusted according to different vehicle models to adapt to a variety of vehicle models, improving the compatibility and common use rate of the bracket tooling 200.

[0076] Further, referring to the attached Figure 6 As shown, the second adjustment structure 512 includes a fourth adjustment block 513 and a fifth adjustment block 514. The fourth adjustment block 513 is connected to the positioning body 41. Along the height direction of the vehicle 100, a fourth adjustment shim 515 is provided between the fourth adjustment block 513 and the positioning body 41. The position of the fourth adjustment block 513 in the height direction of the vehicle 100 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the fourth adjustment shim 515, and thus the position of the second positioning pin 511 in the height direction of the vehicle 100 can be adjusted. Optionally, the thickness of the fourth adjustment shim 515 is 5 mm.

[0077] Further, referring to the appendix Figure 6 As shown, the fifth adjustment block 514 is connected to the fourth adjustment block 513. Along the width direction of the vehicle 100, a fifth adjustment shim 516 is provided between the fifth adjustment block 514 and the fourth adjustment block 513. The position of the fifth adjustment block 514 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the fifth adjustment shim 516, and further, the position of the second positioning pin 511 in the width direction of the vehicle 100 can be adjusted. Optionally, the thickness of the fifth adjustment shim 516 is 5 mm.

[0078] Still further, referring to the appendix Figure 6 As shown, the clamping mechanism 52 is connected to the positioning assembly 4 and includes a chuck 521 and a mating block 522. The chuck 521 and the mating block 522 are arranged in the length direction of the positioning assembly 4 (the left-right direction shown in the appendix Figure 3 ). Along the length direction of the positioning assembly 4, the distance between the chuck 521 and the mating block 522 is adjustable. The fender bracket 10 is adapted to be arranged between the chuck 521 and the mating block 522. It can be understood that when the fender bracket 10 needs to be installed on the bracket tooling 200, the chuck 521 is rotated to separate the chuck 521 from the mating block 522. The fender bracket 10 is placed in the gap between the chuck 521 and the mating block 522. The positions of the second positioning pin 511 and the mounting portion 3 are adjusted, and then the chuck 521 is rotated again to make the chuck 521 move towards the direction close to the mating block 522, and finally the fender bracket 10 is clamped.

[0079] Preferably, as Figure 6 shown, each clamping assembly 5 includes a clamping mechanism 52 and two second positioning pin assemblies 51. The two second positioning pin assemblies 51 are respectively located on both sides of the clamping mechanism 52 along the length direction of the vehicle 100. When the clamping mechanism 52 clamps the fender bracket 10, the fender bracket 10 can be fixed from both sides in the front-rear direction of the fender bracket 10, further ensuring the reliability of the cooperation between the fender bracket 10 and the bracket tooling 200. Further, referring to the appendix Figure 1 shown, the mounting portion 3 is provided with two second mounting holes 31. The two second mounting holes 31 are spaced apart along the length direction of the vehicle 100. One second mounting hole 31 is a circular hole with a diameter of 10 mm, and the other second mounting hole 31 is an oblong hole of 10×14 mm, which can facilitate the fixing of the fender bracket 10 to the clamping assembly 5.

[0080] It can be understood that assembling the fender to the vehicle body 101 requires the following four steps:

[0081] Step 1: On the four-door and two-hood assembly line, the worker first takes out the bracket tooling 200 from the tooling table. The lower ends of the two abutting parts 411 respectively abut against the upper surfaces of the two lower longitudinal beams 30. Align the two first positioning pins 421 with the positioning holes 201 of the two upper longitudinal beams 20. Check whether the two abutting parts 411 of the bracket tooling 200 abut against the lower longitudinal beam 30, and whether the outer walls of the fixed ends of the two first positioning pins 421 are in contact with the upper longitudinal beam 20;

[0082] Step 2: Rotate the chuck 521 to separate the chuck 521 from the mating block 522. Place the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 on the upper longitudinal beam 20. Insert the two second mounting holes 31 onto the two second positioning pins 511. Rotate the chuck 521 so that the chuck 521 moves towards the direction close to the mating block 522 to clamp the fender bracket 10. Check whether the positioning of the fender bracket 10 is stable and reliable.

[0083] Step 3: Use fasteners to connect the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 to the upper longitudinal beam 20 respectively, to complete the fixation of the relative positions of the left and right fenders in the vehicle width direction. Withdraw the bracket tooling 200 and place it on the tooling table;

[0084] Step 4: Align the fender with the second mounting hole 31 and fix it to complete the assembly of the fender to the vehicle body 101, and form the opening dimensions of the left and right fenders.

[0085] The present utility model also proposes a vehicle 100 having the fender bracket 10 of the above embodiment.

[0086] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, the vehicle 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes an upper longitudinal beam 20, the above-mentioned fender bracket 10, and a fender.

[0087] Specifically, referring to the attached Figure 7 and the attached Figure 8As shown, the upper longitudinal beam 20 extends along the length direction of the vehicle 100. The first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 are connected to the upper longitudinal beam 20. The fender is connected to the mounting portion 3. It can be understood that in the related art, due to the weak rigidity of the fender, its position and precision are determined by the fender bracket. However, the left and right fender brackets are affected by the cumulative welding tolerance of the engine compartment, resulting in poor dimensional stability. As a result, it is difficult to ensure the opening dimensions of the left and right fenders after assembly, affecting the left-right gap surface difference symmetry between the fender and the engine hood, the front bumper, and the front headlights. In the present utility model, by arranging the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 in parallel, the influence of the angular component can be eliminated, and the assembly gap deviation between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 at different positions can be avoided. By having at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 located in different planes, the structural stability of the fender bracket 10 can be increased, the reliability and stability of the connection between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 can be improved, the installation precision of the fender bracket 10 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the positioning precision of the fender and the opening dimension precision of the fender, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the fender and the engine hood, the front headlights, and the front bumper, ensuring the left-right symmetry of the gap surface difference matching between the fender and the engine hood, the front headlights, and the front bumper, avoiding the generation of wind noise, and ensuring the quality of the vehicle 100.

[0088] For the vehicle 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, by providing the above-mentioned fender bracket 10, by arranging the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 in parallel, the influence of the angular component can be eliminated, and the assembly gap deviation between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 at different positions can be avoided. By having at least two of the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23 located in different planes, the structural stability of the fender bracket 10 can be increased, the reliability and stability of the connection between the fender bracket 10 and the upper longitudinal beam 20 can be improved, the installation precision of the fender bracket 10 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the positioning precision of the fender and the opening dimension precision of the fender, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the fender and the engine hood, the front headlights, and the front bumper, ensuring the left-right symmetry of the gap surface difference matching between the fender and the engine hood, the front headlights, and the front bumper, avoiding the generation of wind noise, and ensuring the quality of the vehicle 100.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the parting line between the fender and the engine hood is parallel to the first connecting portion 21, the second connecting portion 22, and the third connecting portion 23, which can eliminate the influence of the angular component, is beneficial to ensuring the gap surface difference between the fender and the engine hood, and avoiding the situation where the gaps between the fender and the engine hood are of different sizes.
