[0034] Reference below Figures 1-9 The wheel arch mounting structure assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. By installing the connecting member 3 in the mounting groove 23 along the first direction of the mounting structure 2, when the first pressing portion 31 of the connecting member 3 presses against the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 of the connecting member 3 is squeezed and deformed, and after the first pressing portion 31 passes the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 returns to its original shape and the connecting member 3 is clamped in the mounting groove 23, and the guide protrusion 22 limits the connecting member 3, so that the connecting member 3 and the mounting structure 2 are conveniently installed, the installation efficiency is improved, and the effect of preventing the connecting member 3 from falling off is achieved; or when the guide clamping portion is the clamping rib 26, when the connecting member 3 is installed in the mounting groove 23, the connecting member 3 squeezes and deforms the clamping rib 26, and when it is installed in place, the clamping rib 26 is reset to limit the connecting member 3, both of which can achieve the effect of convenient installation and improved installation efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 1-9 As shown, a wheel arch mounting structure assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a wheel arch and a connecting member 3.

[0036] Among them, the wheel eyebrow includes a connected wheel eyebrow body 1 and a mounting structure 2, the mounting structure 2 is provided with a mounting groove 23, and the mounting structure includes a mounting plate 24, the mounting plate 24 is provided with a mounting groove 23 open along the first direction, and one side of the mounting groove 23 is provided with a guide clamping portion extending along the first direction; when the connecting member 3 is installed into the mounting groove 23 along the first direction, it is deformed and reset after passing through the guide clamping portion, so that the guide clamping portion limits the connecting member 3, or when the connecting member 3 is installed into the mounting groove 23 along the first direction, the guide clamping portion is deformed so that the connecting member 3 enters the mounting groove 23, and the guide clamping portion is reset to limit the connecting member 3.

[0037] In practice, the wheel arches of a vehicle are connected to the body panels above the wheels. For example, the wheel arches corresponding to the front wheels are generally installed on the front bumper and fenders, and the wheel arches corresponding to the rear wheels are generally installed on the rear side panels and rear bumper. They mainly serve the purpose of decoration and beautification, reducing wind resistance, and preventing scratches.

[0038] Specifically, the wheel eyebrow body 1 is constructed as an arc-shaped structure, and a plurality of mounting structures 2 are provided on one side of the arc-shaped structure. The plurality of mounting structures 2 correspond to a plurality of connecting members 3 one by one, and the mounting structures 2 are connected to the vehicle body through the plurality of connecting members 3, so that the wheel eyebrow body 1 is installed on the vehicle body. For example, the plurality of connecting members 3 corresponding to the front wheel eyebrow body 1 are connected to the front bumper and the fender, and the plurality of connecting members 3 corresponding to the rear wheel eyebrow body 1 are connected to the rear bumper and the rear side panel, and the front and rear correspond to the front and rear wheels of the vehicle; the wheel eyebrow body 1 is installed on the vehicle body through the plurality of mounting structures 2 and the plurality of connecting members 3, thereby improving the reliability of the connection of the wheel eyebrow body 1.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, each connector 3 is first installed in the installation slot 23 of the corresponding installation structure along the first direction, wherein the first direction is Figure 2 and Figure 3 The direction of the mounting groove 23 from the opening to the interior of the mounting groove 23, that is, Figure 3 From bottom to top in perspective, or Figure 7 From the bottom to the top, the guide clamping portion of the mounting structure can interact with the connector 3. For example, when the connector 3 is pressed against the guide clamping portion, the extension direction of the guide clamping portion is basically in the same direction as the extension direction of the mounting groove 23, and when the connector 3 is deformed axially upward, the connector 3 can pass through the guide clamping portion smoothly, and after the connector 3 is reset, it is clamped by the guide clamping portion to prevent the connector 3 from falling off.

[0040] In addition, when the connecting member 3 is pressed against the guide clamping part, the guide clamping part is pressed and deformed, and after the connecting member 3 passes through the guide clamping part smoothly, the guide clamping part is reset to limit the connecting member 3, which can also prevent the connecting member 3 from falling off.

[0041] After the connector 3 is installed, if the connector 3 corresponds to the mounting structure 2 of the front wheel arch body 1, the front wheel arch body 1 is provided with multiple mounting structures 2 and corresponding multiple connectors 3, and the front bumper and fender are provided with multiple mounting holes corresponding to the multiple connectors 3, then the multiple connectors 3 are passed through the multiple mounting holes of the front bumper and fender, so that the front wheel arch body 1 is connected to the front bumper and fender, thereby ensuring the connection reliability of the connector 3.

[0042] Therefore, in the wheel arch mounting structure assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the connecting member 3 and the mounting structure 2 are easy to install, which improves the installation efficiency and can prevent the connecting member 3 from falling off in a natural state, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the wheel arch body 1 and the vehicle.

[0043] In some embodiments, the connecting member 3 includes a connecting portion 33 and a first pressing portion 31 and a second pressing portion 32 axially arranged along the connecting portion 33; the guide clamping portion is constructed as a guide protrusion 22, and the guide protrusion 22 is arranged on one side of the mounting groove 23 at the mounting plate 24 and extends along the first direction. When the connecting portion 33 is installed in the mounting groove 23, the first pressing portion 31 presses the guide protrusion 22 and the second pressing portion 32 is deformed in a direction away from the first pressing portion 31, and after being installed in place, the second pressing portion 32 is reset and the guide protrusion 22 limits the connecting member 3.

[0044] In practice, the connecting portion 33 is used to connect with the vehicle body, and the connecting portion 33 is installed in the mounting groove 23 of the mounting structure 2. The first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32 are spaced apart along the length direction of the connecting portion 33 and press against the mounting plate 24. The mounting groove 23 is provided with an open opening facing the first direction. The guide protrusion 22 extends along the first direction and is located on one side of the mounting plate 24, or guide protrusions 22 are provided on both sides of the mounting groove 23. The connecting member 3 includes a first pressing portion 31 and a second pressing portion 32. The connecting member 3 enters the mounting groove 23 along the first direction. When the first pressing portion 31 presses the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 is pressed by the mounting structure 2 and deformed in a direction away from the first pressing portion 31. After the connecting member 3 passes through the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 is reset and presses against the mounting plate 24.

[0045] Therefore, the second pressing portion 32 is deformed so that the first pressing portion 31 can pass through the guide protrusion 22 smoothly. At this time, the first pressing portion 31 and the guide protrusion 22 are not deformed, and the first pressing portion 31 reaches from one side of the connecting portion 33 to the other side to achieve the function of the guide protrusion 22 to limit the first pressing portion 31.

[0046] In some embodiments, the guide protrusion 22 is configured as a guide slope, and the distance between the side of the guide slope close to the opening of the installation slot 23 and the wheel arch body 1 is smaller than the distance between the side of the guide slope away from the opening of the installation slot 23 and the wheel arch body 1.

[0047] In practice, the connecting member 3 can be made of plastic material. During installation, the connecting member 3 is first installed into the mounting groove 23 of the mounting structure 2 along the first direction. Since the end of the guide protrusion 22 close to the open mouth is lower than the end away from the open mouth, when the connecting member 3 is installed into the mounting groove 23 of the mounting structure 2 along the first direction, the first pressing portion 31 gradually presses against the guide protrusion 22, and as the first pressing portion 31 continues to press against the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 is squeezed and deformed. When the first pressing portion 31 passes through the guide protrusion 22, the pressing force between the first pressing portion 31 and the guide protrusion 22 disappears, and the second pressing portion 32 returns to its original state, so that the first pressing portion 31 is limited by the guide protrusion 22, that is, the connecting member 3 is limited to a certain position.

[0048] Therefore, by providing the guide protrusion 22 with a guide slope, the first pressing portion 31 can be pressed gradually, that is, the second pressing portion 32 is deformed gradually, to prevent the deformation force from being too large so as to affect the elasticity of the second pressing portion 32.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second pressing portion 32 is configured as an arc, and the center of the arc is located on the side of the second pressing portion 32 facing the first pressing portion 31 , so that the end of the second pressing portion 32 can be selectively pressed against the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 .

[0050] Reference Figure 4 When the second pressing portion 32 of the connecting member 3 is pressed against the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 of the mounting structure 2, since the second pressing portion 32 is constructed in an arc shape and the center of the arc is toward the side of the first pressing portion 31, when the first pressing portion 31 is pressed against the guide protrusion 22 on the outer side of the mounting plate 24, the two ends of the second pressing portion 32 constructed in an arc shape first press against the inner wall of the mounting plate 24. As the first pressing portion 31 enters the mounting groove 23 along the guide protrusion 22, the force between the first pressing portion 31 and the guide protrusion 22 gradually increases, and then the force between the two ends of the second pressing portion 32 and the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 increases, thereby causing the arc of the second pressing portion 32 to gradually tend to a planar state and begin to deform, that is, the second pressing portion 32 deforms in a direction away from the first pressing portion 31, thereby facilitating the connecting member 3 to pass through the guide protrusion 22.

[0051] After the first pressing portion 31 passes the guide protrusion 22 , the second pressing portion 32 returns to its original shape. At this time, both ends of the arc-shaped second pressing portion 32 are still in pressing contact with the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 .

[0052] Then, by setting the second pressing portion 32 to be arc-shaped, when the first pressing portion 31 presses against the guide protrusion 22, the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 can first press against the two ends of the second pressing portion 32, so that the force is concentrated on the two ends of the arc-shaped second pressing portion 32, and it is easy to control the deformation direction of the second pressing portion 32, so that when the second pressing portion 32 is reset, it is easier to reset to its original state, so that the connecting member 3 is clamped with the mounting plate 24 of the mounting structure 2 under the action of the first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32, and the guide protrusion 22 limits the first pressing portion 31.

[0053] In some embodiments, the connecting member 3 includes a connecting portion 33 and a first pressing portion 31 and a second pressing portion 32 axially arranged along the connecting portion 33; the guide clamping portion is constructed as a clamping rib 26, the clamping rib 26 extends along the first direction, and a clamping sub-portion 321 is provided at the bottom of the second pressing portion 32. When the connecting portion 33 is suitable for being installed in the mounting groove 23 along the first direction, the clamping sub-portion 321 squeezes the clamping rib 26 and is limited by the clamping rib 26 after being installed in place, and the first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32 are pressed against the mounting plate 24.

[0054] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the guide clamping portion is constructed as a clamping rib 26, which is elastic. By setting two clamping ribs 26, when the connector 3 enters the mounting groove 23 along the open mouth of the mounting groove 23, the clamping sub-portion 321 of the second pressing portion 32 squeezes the clamping rib 26 along the side, so that the clamping rib 26 gives way to the clamping sub-portion 321. After the clamping sub-portion 321 passes through the clamping rib 26, the clamping rib 26 is reset in the absence of the squeezing force, and the reset clamping rib 26 limits the clamping sub-portion 321. That is, at this time, the connector 3 has reached the innermost side of the mounting groove 23 from the open mouth of the mounting groove 23, which facilitates the installation of the connector 3 while also achieving the anti-slip effect of the connector 3.

[0055] In addition, when the connecting member 3 is installed in the mounting groove 23, the first pressing portion 31 presses against the top surface of the mounting plate 24, and the second pressing portion 32 presses against the bottom surface of the mounting plate 24, thereby increasing the friction between the connecting member 3 and the mounting plate 24, thereby reducing the risk of the connecting member 3 falling off relative to the mounting plate 24.

[0056] In some embodiments, there are two clamping ribs 26, and the two clamping ribs 26 are arranged at intervals, and the distance between the two clamping ribs 26 gradually decreases along the first direction; the clamping sub-portion 321 is constructed as a triangular structure, and a sharp corner portion 3211 of the triangular structure enters between the two clamping ribs 26 along the two clamping ribs 26 and squeezes and deforms the clamping ribs 26, and is suitable for a side length portion 3212 of the triangular structure to be limited and blocked by the two clamping ribs 26 after the connecting member 3 is installed in place.

[0057] Combine Figure 7-9As shown, the distance between the two clamping ribs 26 and the side of the open mouth is larger, which can facilitate the passage of the clamping sub-portion 321 connected to the second pressing portion 32, that is, when the connecting member 3 is gradually installed in the mounting groove 23 from the open mouth of the mounting groove 23, the clamping sub-portion 321 is located between the two clamping ribs 26 and as the connecting member 3 gradually approaches the inner side of the mounting groove 23, the clamping sub-portion 321 squeezes the two clamping ribs 26, thereby expanding the distance between the two clamping ribs 26, so that the clamping sub-portion 321 can smoothly pass between the two clamping ribs 26, and after the clamping sub-portion 321 passes through the two clamping ribs 26, the clamping ribs 26 are reset, and the clamping sub-portion 321 is limited by the clamping ribs 26. At this time, it is equivalent to the two clamping ribs 26 limiting the connecting member 3, thereby further preventing the connecting member 3 from falling off.

[0058] In addition, by setting the clamping sub-portion 321 to a triangular structure, the triangle can be constructed as an equilateral triangle, and the two adjacent sides of the equilateral triangle form a sharp corner portion 3211. By corresponding a sharp corner portion 3211 to the middle position of the two clamping ribs 26, and the two side length portions 3212 corresponding to the sharp corner portion 3211 are squeezed correspondingly with the two clamping ribs 26, during the squeezing process, the two clamping ribs 26 are deformed on the side away from the open mouth and the distance becomes larger. When the clamping sub-portion 321 reaches the side of the clamping rib 26 away from the open mouth, the clamping rib 26 is reset, and the clamping sub-portion 321 is limited by the two clamping ribs 26. The schematic diagram of the installation in place is shown as follows. Figure 9 shown.

[0059] In some embodiments, the mounting groove 23 includes a first groove section 232 and a second groove section 231 connected along a first direction. The diameter of the first groove section 232 gradually decreases from the open mouth to the second groove section 231. The second groove section 231 cooperates with the outer periphery of the connecting portion 33. The connecting portion 33 enters the mounting groove 23 and is clamped in the second groove section 231.

[0060] First, the connecting portion 33 enters the first slot section 232 along the first direction, and continues to enter the second slot section 231 along the first slot section 232. Figure 3 As shown, the second slot section 231 has a smaller diameter and the first slot section 232 has a larger diameter. Therefore, when the connecting member 3 enters the second slot section 231 from the first slot section 232, it is easier to enter the mounting slot 23. After the connecting member 3 enters the second slot section 231 from the first slot section 232, the connecting portion 33 of the connecting member 3 is located in the second slot section 231 and cooperates with the outer periphery of the second slot section 231, so that the second slot section 231 partially limits the circumference of the connecting portion 33, and combined with the first pressing portion 31 being limited by the guide protrusion 22, and the first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32 respectively press against the inner and outer sides of the mounting plate 24 of the mounting structure 2, thereby reducing the risk of the connecting member 3 falling off after connection.

[0061] When the guide clamping portion is constructed as the clamping rib 26, the first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32 only need to be in contact, and the matching relationship between the connecting portion 33 and the first groove section 232 and the second groove section 231 is the same as described above.

[0062] Furthermore, the diameter of the first groove section 232 gradually decreases from the open mouth to the second groove section 231, that is, after the connecting member 3 enters the installation groove 23 from one end of the open mouth, the outer wall of the connecting member 3 gradually begins to press and contact with the first groove section 232 and the second groove section 231, which facilitates the connection part 33 to enter the installation groove 23 while achieving the gradual clamping of the connection part 33, preventing sudden excessive force from causing large deformation of the connecting member 3, and at the same time facilitates the connection part 33 to enter the installation groove 23.

[0063] In addition, the outer periphery of the connecting portion 33 is matched with the second groove segment 231 in an arc shape, the part of the connecting portion 33 located in the mounting groove 23 is a cylindrical structure, and the inner wall of the second groove segment 231 is suitable for matching the cylindrical outer periphery. The connecting portion 33 is matched with the second groove segment 231 in an arc shape, which reduces stress concentration and can make the matching between the connecting portion 33 and the second groove segment 231 more stable, making it easier to install.

[0064] In some embodiments, the inner side wall of the mounting plate 24 includes a first pressing slope 244 and a first mating surface 243. The first pressing slope 244 and the first mating surface 243 have an included angle. The first pressing slope 244 gradually approaches the wheel arch body 1 along the open mouth of the mounting cavity 21 to the inside of the mounting groove 23.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 As shown, taking the guide clamping portion as an example, which is a guide protrusion 22 arranged on the mounting plate 24, the inner side wall of the mounting plate 24 includes a first pressing inclined surface 244 and a first matching surface 243. When the first pressing portion 31 contacts the outer side of the mounting plate 24 and the connecting member 3 enters the mounting groove 23, the first pressing portion 31 is gradually pressed against the guide protrusion 22, and at the same time, the second pressing portion 32 is also gradually pressed against the first pressing inclined surface 244. When the first pressing portion 31 passes through the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 also passes through the first pressing inclined surface 244 of the inner side wall of the mounting plate 24 to reach the first matching surface 243.

[0066] That is, by setting the first pressing slope 244 and combining with the setting of the guide protrusion 22 on the outside of the mounting plate 24, the pressing force between the first pressing portion 31 and the guide protrusion 22 is relatively large, and the first pressing slope 244 on the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 also provides a buffer for the pressing between the first pressing portion 31 and the guide protrusion 22. When the first pressing portion 31 passes the guide protrusion 22 and does not press against the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 contacts and presses against the first mating surface 243, that is, the first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32 will not be deformed too much, and can maintain a smaller deformation range while enabling the connecting member 3 to finally be engaged with the mounting structure 2.

[0067] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the mounting plate 24 includes a second mating surface 241 and a second pressing slope 242 connected along the first direction, there is an angle between the second mating surface 241 and the second pressing slope 242, and the second pressing slope 242 gradually moves away from the wheel arch body 1 along the first direction.

[0068] In practice, when the connector 3 enters the mounting groove 23 along the first direction, by setting the outer surface of the mounting plate 24 to include a second pressing slope 242 and a second mating surface 241, the first pressing portion 31 of the connector 3 first presses against the second pressing slope 242. As the connector 3 gradually enters toward the interior of the mounting groove 23, the first pressing portion 31 of the connector 3 gradually presses against the guide protrusion 22, thereby making it easier for the first pressing portion 31 to press against the guide protrusion 22 along the outer side surface of the mounting plate 24, and gradual pressing can be achieved, which is beneficial to the stable installation of the connector 3 and the mounting structure 2.

[0069] Moreover, the setting of the second pressing bevel 242 allows the first pressing portion 31 to smoothly and steadily enter the second mating surface 241 from the second pressing bevel 242, so that after passing through the guide protrusion 22, the first pressing portion 31 of the connector 3 and the second mating surface 241 of the mounting plate 24 cooperate and press, and combined with the limiting of the guide protrusion 22, the connector 3 is clamped.

[0070] Furthermore, a portion of the guide protrusion 22 is connected to the second pressing slope 242 and a portion is connected to the second mating surface 241, which can make the transition of the first pressing portion 31 from the second pressing slope 242 to the second mating surface 241 smoother, that is, the transition is achieved through the guide protrusion 22, and the guide surface 221 and the second pressing slope 242 are partially coplanar. Then, during the movement of the first pressing portion 31 along the second pressing slope 242, it can move smoothly and stably from the second pressing slope 242 to the guide protrusion 22, reducing the movement resistance.

[0071] In addition, the thickness of the guide protrusion 22 when connected to the second pressing inclined surface 242 is smaller than the thickness when connected to the second mating surface 241, which can not only enable the connecting member 3 to move smoothly along the second pressing inclined surface 242 to the guide protrusion 22, but also enable the first pressing portion 31 to be better limited by the guide protrusion 22 after passing through the guide protrusion 22, thereby reducing the loosening problem of the connecting member 3, thereby providing a basis for more reliable installation of the wheel arch body 1 and the vehicle body.

[0072] It should be noted that there are two guide protrusions 22 and the two guide protrusions 22 are respectively located on both sides of the open mouth; by providing two guide protrusions 22, when the connecting member 3 enters the installation groove 23, different positions of the first pressing portion 31 of the connecting member 3 are pressed and contacted with the two guide protrusions 22, thereby ensuring that the force on the first pressing portion 31 is balanced. After the first pressing portion 31 passes through the guide protrusions 22, the two guide protrusions 22 limit different positions of the first pressing portion 31, further preventing the connecting member 3 from falling off.

[0073] In addition, when the guide clamping portion is two clamping ribs 26, when the connecting member 31 enters the installation groove 23 along the open mouth of the installation groove 23, the first pressing portion 31 and the second pressing portion 32 press against the top surface and bottom surface of the installation plate 24 respectively.

[0074] It should also be noted that the mounting structure 2 includes a connected mounting plate 24 and a side plate 25, the side plate 25 is connected to the outer periphery of the mounting plate 24 and the side plate 25 is connected to the wheel arch body 1, the mounting groove 23 is provided on the mounting plate 24, and a mounting cavity 21 is formed between the mounting plate 24, the side plate 25 and the wheel arch body 1, the mounting cavity 21 includes an opening that is open at least along a first direction, the connecting member 3 enters the mounting groove 23 and the second pressing portion 32 enters the mounting cavity 21 from the opening.

[0075] Specifically, part of the connector 3 is located in the mounting cavity 21, and part of it is located on the outside of the mounting plate 24, wherein the outside of the top is the side of the mounting plate 24 away from the mounting cavity 21, and the inside of the mounting plate 24 is the side facing the mounting cavity 21, that is, the guide protrusion 22 is provided on the outside of the mounting plate 24. When the connector 3 enters the mounting groove 23 along the first direction, the first pressing portion 31 of the connector 3 faces the side of the second pressing portion 32 and aligns with the mounting plate 24 and the guide protrusion 22. The outer wall contacts and presses, and at the same time, the second pressing portion 32 of the connecting member 3 contacts and presses the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 close to the side of the first pressing portion 31. When the connecting member 3 presses against the top of the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 presses against the inner wall of the mounting plate 24 and deforms. After the connecting member 3 passes through the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 returns to its original state and presses against the mounting plate 24, and the guide protrusion 22 limits the connecting member 3, so that the connecting member 3 is installed in the mounting structure 2.

[0076] Then, by configuring the mounting structure 2 as a mounting plate 24 and side panels 25 to enclose the mounting cavity 21, the mounting cavity 21 can partially accommodate the connector 3, the side panels 25 can support the mounting plate 24, and the mounting plate 24 can interact with the first and second abutting portions 31, 32 of the connector 3, thereby achieving a snap-fit connection between the connector 3 and the mounting structure 2, making installation easier. Furthermore, when the guide snap-fit portion is a snap-fit rib 26, the front side of the mounting cavity 21 is partially open to facilitate the installation of the snap-fit rib 26. When the guide snap-fit portion is a guide protrusion 22, the front side of the mounting cavity 21 can be completely open.

[0077] The embodiment of the present utility model discloses a vehicle, including the above-mentioned wheel eyebrow mounting structure assembly 100, by inserting the connecting member 3 into the mounting groove 23 along the first direction of the mounting structure 2, when the connecting member 3 presses against the guide protrusion 22, the second pressing portion 32 of the connecting member 3 is squeezed and deformed, and after the first pressing portion 31 passes through the guide protrusion 22, the first pressing portion 31 returns to its original shape and is clamped in the mounting groove 23, and the guide protrusion 22 limits the connecting member 3, thereby achieving convenient installation of the connecting member 3 and the mounting structure 2, and achieving the effect of preventing the connecting member 3 from falling off, thereby ensuring that the wheel eyebrow body 1 of the vehicle is installed more reliably.
