Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile wheel eyebrows, in particular to an automobile front wheel eyebrow assembly. Background Art

[0002] At present, car wheel eyebrows are widely used on SUV models. Car wheel eyebrows can improve the overall aesthetics of the vehicle, reduce the damage caused by scratches on the car, and reduce the drag coefficient.

[0003] However, due to vehicle styling and radar placement, some models require the PLA radar and its radar bracket to be located on the fender flares. For aesthetic reasons, the clearance between the radar bracket and the fender flares is very small, leading to over-alignment of the fender flares. This means that it's impossible to simultaneously ensure precise alignment between the fender flares and the radar bracket, as well as the clearance between the fender flares and the door trim. This clearance between the fender flares and the door trim is crucial because it can interfere with the movement of the door opening and closing, and this area is also the primary positioning location for conventional fender flares.

[0004] To avoid over-alignment issues with fender flares, existing technologies typically split the fender flares into two sections, ensuring proper alignment with the radar mount and the door trim. However, this existing technology creates a noticeable gap at the junction of the two fender flares, reducing aesthetics. Furthermore, the two fender flares require two sets of molds, which is very costly. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In the following description, for illustrative purposes, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a comprehensive understanding of one or more embodiments. However, it will be apparent that the embodiments may be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form to facilitate description of one or more embodiments.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] See Figure 1-8This embodiment provides a front wheel eyebrow assembly for an automobile, comprising: a front wheel eyebrow assembly 1 and a radar bracket 2, wherein the front wheel eyebrow assembly 1 comprises: a front wheel eyebrow outer plate 101, a first adhesive tape 102, a front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103, a buckle group 104, a foam strip 105, a second adhesive tape 106, and five first claws 103-3 to 103-7, the front wheel eyebrow outer plate 101 is connected to the front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103 by the first adhesive tape 102 The front wheel eyebrow outer plate 101 is bonded and fixed to the fender 6 by the second adhesive tape 106, and the front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103 is overlapped with the fender 6 by the foam strip 105 to ensure that the gap between the wheel eyebrow circumference and the fender 6 is uniform. The buckle group 104 is plugged into the clamping platform of the front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103, and the front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103 is clamped and fixed to the fender 6 by the buckle group 104. The front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103 is clamped and fixed to the fender 6 by the five first clamping claws 103- 3 to 103-7 are clamped and fixed to the bumper skin 5; the radar bracket 2 is clamped and fixed to the front bumper skin 5 by two groups of four second clamping claws 201 to 204, and four clamping slots are provided on the front bumper skin 5 corresponding to the positions of the four second clamping claws 201 to 204. An adjustment gap 13 is provided on the four clamping slots along the length direction of the front wheel eyebrow assembly 1. The four second clamping claws 201 to 204 are clamped in the four clamping slots and can move in the slots along the length direction of the front wheel eyebrow assembly 1. Two positioning posts 103-1 and 103-2 are provided on the front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103 at the installation position of the radar bracket 2. The two positioning holes of the radar bracket 2 are plugged into the two positioning posts 103-1 and 103-2, so that the radar bracket 1 can be adaptively adjusted along the positions of the two positioning posts 103-1 and 103-2 to ensure precise fit between the radar bracket and the wheel eyebrow hole.

[0028] In this embodiment, the front fender assembly 1 is fixed to the fender 6 and front bumper fascia 5 in the prior art. The radar bracket 2 and the front fender radar aperture require high-precision alignment. The connection gap 10 is the primary fender alignment point, as it affects the opening and closing movement of the front door and thermal expansion of components. To ensure the accuracy of both the PLA radar 3 and the connection gap 10 on the radar bracket 2, the PLA radar 3 and the connection gap 10 must be installed first, followed by the mid-section fender. This over-alignment of the fender can result in significant misalignment in the midsection. Therefore, in this embodiment, fender position 10 is designated as the primary alignment point and installed first. Errors in the fender length are mitigated by the movable radar bracket 2.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] See Figure 2 In this embodiment, the positioning posts 103-1 and 103-2 on the front wheel arch pass through the positioning holes on the radar bracket 2, so that the position of the radar bracket 2 is automatically adjusted following the position of the wheel arch hole, ensuring the precise fit between the radar bracket 2 and the wheel arch hole.

[0031] See Figure 3 In this embodiment, the front wheel eyebrow assembly 1 is composed of a front wheel eyebrow outer plate 101, a first adhesive tape 102, a front wheel eyebrow inner plate 103, a buckle group 104, a foam strip 105 and a second adhesive tape 106.

[0032] See Figure 4 In this embodiment, the buckle group 104 on the front wheel arch is composed of nine buckles 104-1 to 104-9. The nine buckles 104-1 to 104-9 are used to fix to the fender 6, and the five first claws 103-3 to 103-7 on the front wheel arch inner plate 103 are used to fix to the bumper skin 5. A sufficient number of fixing points ensure the stability of the overall structure of the wheel arch.

[0033] See Figure 5 、 Figure 9 In this embodiment, the radar bracket 2 is fixed to the front bumper skin 5 by four second claws 201 to 204. The clamping structure reserves an appropriate adjustment gap 13 to ensure that the radar bracket 2 does not fall. At the same time, the adjustment gap 13 provided along the length direction of the front wheel arch assembly 1 allows the radar bracket 2 to be adjusted. Figure 5 When the front fender assembly 1 is installed, the two positioning posts 103-1 and 103-2 on the front fender inner plate 103 are first introduced into the hole of the radar bracket 2. The position of the radar bracket 2 is adaptively adjusted with the position of the front fender inner plate 103, ensuring a precise fit between the radar bracket 2 and the fender hole.

[0034] See Figure 6 、 Figure 8 ,exist Figure 8 The A area of the wheel eyebrow is the position where the wheel eyebrow is most likely to bend and deform. If the normal-sized claws are arranged, the wind guide effect of the front bumper side air guide 11 will be affected. In this embodiment, the small claws 101-1 on the front wheel eyebrow outer plate 101 are fixed to the front bumper skin 5 by forced insertion, which effectively suppresses the warping and deformation of the wheel eyebrow without affecting the vehicle's wind guide performance. Figure 6 The fender brow is warped and deformed in the middle A area.

[0035] See Figure 10 , a schematic diagram of the two-section wheel arch in the prior art shows that there is a gap between the front section 21 and the rear section 22 of the wheel arch, which affects the overall aesthetics of the wheel arch and requires two sets of wheel arch molds, which is very costly. The front wheel arch assembly 1 in this embodiment can effectively solve the above problems in the prior art.
