[0033] The utility model provides a mounting bracket for a fender.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 5 In one embodiment of the present invention, the fender mounting bracket includes:

[0035] A clamping plate 11, one end of which is provided with a clamping space 111, into which the fender body 200 can extend to be clamped by the clamping plate 11, and a first rotating structure 112 is provided on the lower side of the clamping plate 11;

[0036] The bracket 12 has one end mounted on the vehicle body and a second rotating structure 121 provided on the other end. The first rotating structure 112 and the second rotating structure 121 can rotate relative to each other and are locked and fixed by a fastening assembly so as to adjust the installation angle of the clamping plate 11 on the vehicle body.

[0037] In the technical solution of the present invention, the first rotating structure 112 and the second rotating structure 121 rotate with each other, and after rotating to a preset position, they are fixed to each other by a fastening assembly to adjust the angle between the bracket 12 and the clamping plate 11, and then the installation angle of the plate body 200 clamped on the clamping plate 11 relative to the wheel can be adjusted to adapt to vehicle bodies of different specifications and wheels of different sizes. Specifically, when the fender is installed on the vehicle body, the installation angle between the plate body 200 and the wheel is too large or too small, so that the clamping plate 11 rotates relative to the bracket 12, so that the clamping plate 11 and the plate body 200 clamped by the clamping plate 11 are close to or away from the wheel.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first rotating structure 112 includes a first rotating protrusion 113 having a first rotating hole 114 defined therein. The depth of the first rotating hole 114 intersects the extension direction of the clamping plate 11. Two first rotating protrusions 113 are provided and spaced apart in the extension direction of the first rotating hole 114 to form a first gap 115. The second rotating structure 121 includes a second rotating protrusion that is insertable into the first gap 115. The second rotating protrusion is capable of rotating within the first gap 115 to adjust the angle between the clamping plate 11 and the bracket 12. In other embodiments, the first rotating structure 112 and the second rotating structure 121 may be mutually compatible universal wheel structures.

[0039] In one embodiment, the second rotating protrusion is provided with a second rotating hole, and the fastening assembly includes a fastening bolt, the stud of the fastening bolt passes through the first rotating hole 114 and the second rotating hole, and the fastening bolt can fix the first rotating structure 112 and the second rotating structure 121. The clamping plate 11 can rotate relative to the bracket 12 around the axis of the second transmission hole 123. In other embodiments, the second rotating protrusion can also be provided with a second rotating column, which is inserted into the first rotating hole 114 and can rotate around the axis of the first rotating hole 114. In this case, the second rotating protrusion and the first rotating protrusion 113 also include an arc-shaped hole extending around the axis of the first rotating hole 114. The fastening assembly passes through the arc-shaped hole and clamps the first rotating protrusion 113 and the second rotating protrusion at both ends of the arc-shaped hole to fixedly connect the second rotating protrusion and the first rotating protrusion 113.

[0040] In one embodiment, the second rotating structure 121 further includes a third rotating protrusion having a third rotating hole 125. The third rotating protrusions are disposed on opposite sides of the second rotating protrusion and are spaced apart from the second rotating protrusion. A second gap 126 is defined between adjacent third rotating protrusions and second rotating protrusions. The first rotating protrusion 113 can extend into the second gap 126. The stud of the fastening bolt extends through the first rotating hole 114, the second rotating hole, and the third rotating hole 125. Specifically, when the fastening bolt is tightened and the nut and cap abut against the third protrusion 124, exerting a clamping pressure on the third protrusion 124, the third protrusion 124 cooperates with the second protrusion 122 to clamp the two first protrusions on opposite sides of the two first protrusions. This helps strengthen the connection and fixing strength between the bracket 12 and the clamping plate 11, and prevents the bracket 12 and the clamping plate 11 from rotating relative to each other due to vehicle vibration when the bicycle is passing other vehicles. In other embodiments, the third protrusion 124 may not be provided, and the cap and nut of the fastening bolt abut against the two first rotating protrusions 113 respectively, and the two first rotating protrusions 113 clamp the second protrusion 122 from opposite sides of the second protrusion 122.

[0041] In one embodiment, the first rotation protrusion 113 extends along the length of the clamping plate 11, and the first rotation hole 114 is an elongated hole. In this case, the position of the connection point between the clamping plate 11 and the bracket 12 on the clamping plate 11 can be adjusted, that is, the shielding length of the plate body 200 clamped on the clamping plate 11 relative to the wheel can be adjusted to adapt to different specifications of vehicle bodies and wheels of different sizes. Specifically, when the wheel is small, the bracket 12 can be moved closer to the end of the clamping plate 11 holding the plate body 200 to reduce the shielding length of the plate body 200. When the wheel is large, the bracket 12 can be moved away from the end of the clamping plate 11 holding the plate body 200 to increase the shielding length of the plate body 200. This can effectively avoid the situation where the shielding length of the mudguard is too long, resulting in greater resistance during riding, or the shielding length of the mudguard is too short, resulting in poor splash protection. In other embodiments, the first rotating protrusion 113 may be arranged near the middle of the clamping plate 11, and the first rotating hole 114 may be a circular hole. In this case, it helps to firmly connect the bracket 12 to the clamping plate 11, and the clamping plate 11 can rotate over a larger range on the vehicle body.

[0042] In one embodiment, a marking protrusion 117 is provided on the side wall of the first rotating protrusion 113 near the bracket 12. There are multiple marking protrusions 117, which are spaced apart in the extending direction of the first rotating protrusion 113. Furthermore, the marking protrusions 117 are respectively located at 1 / 3, 1 / 2, and 2 / 3 of the distance from the end of the first rotating protrusion 113 near the clamping space, corresponding to wheels with diameters of 20 inches (inclusive) and above, 16 inches, and 14 inches (inclusive) and below, respectively. This is used to indicate to the user that when the wheel size is 20 inches (inclusive) and above, 16 inches, or 14 inches (inclusive) and below, it is recommended to locate the connection point between the bracket 12 and the clamping plate 11 near 1 / 3, 1 / 2, or 2 / 3 of the distance from the end of the first rotating protrusion 113 near the clamping space 111.

[0043] In one embodiment, the bracket 12 includes a mounting flange 127, a first arcuate segment 128, a second arcuate segment 129, and a second rotating structure 121, which are connected in sequence. The concave surface of the first arcuate segment 128 is disposed toward the wheel, and the concave surface of the second arcuate segment 129 is disposed toward the clamping plate 11. The mounting flange 127 is bent and extended in a direction away from the second rotating structure 121. When the fender mounting bracket 100 is mounted on a vehicle body, the first arcuate segment 128 can avoid the wheel. The first arcuate segment 128 and the mounting flange 127 form a receiving space on the side near the clamping plate 11 for accommodating a brake cable. When the fender mounting bracket 100 is housed in a packaging box, the bracket 12 is typically positioned near the lower side of the clamping plate 11. In this case, the second arcuate segment 129 helps to keep the first arcuate segment 128 and the mounting flange 127 away from the first rotating protrusion 113, thereby reducing the volume of the packaging box. It should be noted that the above-mentioned orientation description is based on the orientation of the bracket 12 when it is installed in the forward direction with the clamping plate 11. The bracket 12 can also be installed in the reverse direction with the clamping plate 11. The relationship between the forward and reverse directions of the bracket 12 is that, with a plane having a straight line extending along the width direction of the bracket 12 as a reference plane, the forward bracket 12 and the reverse bracket 12 can be mirrored to each other with the reference plane as a reference. In other embodiments, the mounting bracket 12 can also include an interconnected mounting flange 127, a first straight section, a second straight section, a third straight section, and a second rotating structure 121. The mounting flange 127 and the first straight section form a receiving space on the side close to the clamping plate 1111, the first straight section and the second straight section form a space for avoiding the wheel on the side away from the clamping plate 11, and the second straight section and the third straight section form a space for avoiding the first rotating protrusion 113 on the side close to the clamping plate.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bracket 12 is made of metal. Metal has high hardness and strength. Furthermore, the bracket 12 is made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and strong. This provides good support for the clamping plate 11 without significantly increasing the weight of the fender mounting bracket 100.

[0045] In one embodiment, the clamping plate 11 is further provided with a mounting hole 116, which is arranged relative to the clamping space 111. A screw can pass through the mounting hole 116 to fix the clamping plate 11 and the fender body 200. The upper side of the clamping plate 11 is provided with a first protective protrusion, which is arranged circumferentially around the mounting hole 116 to protect and hide the nut of the screw. The lower side of the clamping plate 11 is provided with a second protective protrusion 117, which is arranged circumferentially around the mounting hole 116. The cross-sectional shape of the inner hole of the second protective protrusion 117 is configured as a regular hexagon to accommodate a hexagonal nut. When the user screws the screw, the hexagonal nut can be limited, making it easier for the user to tighten or loosen the screw. In other embodiments, the first and second protective protrusions 117 may not be provided. In another embodiment, either the first or second protective protrusions 117 may be provided.

[0046] The present invention also provides a fender, comprising a plate body 200 and a fender mounting bracket 100. The specific structure of the fender mounting bracket 100 is similar to the above-described embodiments. Since the present fender utilizes all of the technical solutions of all of the above-described embodiments, it at least possesses all of the beneficial effects provided by the technical solutions of the above-described embodiments, which will not be further detailed here. The plate body 200 has opposing outer and inner side surfaces. The plate body 200 is capable of rolling up and has an extended state and a retracted state. In the extended state, the plate body 200 is in the shape of an elongated strip. The cross-sectional shape of the plate body 200 is arc-shaped, with the outer side surface forming a convex arc surface and the inner side surface forming a concave arc surface. In the retracted state, the plate body 200 is in the shape of a tube. The cross-sectional shape of the clamping plate 11 is arc-shaped, with the upper side surface forming a convex arc surface and the lower side surface forming a concave arc surface, respectively matching the convex and concave arc surfaces of the plate body 200. Furthermore, the end face of the opening of the clamping space 111 on the clamping plate 11 is configured as an outward convex arc surface. When the plate body 200 is in the retracted state, the end face of the opening of the clamping space 111 on the clamping plate 11 abuts against the plate body 200, so as to hinder the deformation tendency of the plate body 200 at the transition between the long strip and the cylindrical shape, and prevent the plate body 200 from breaking at the transition between the long strip and the cylindrical shape after frequently changing between the two states for a long time.

[0047] The present invention also provides a bicycle comprising a bicycle body, a wheel rotatably connected to the bicycle body, and a fender. The specific structure of the fender mounting bracket 100 is similar to that of the aforementioned embodiments. Since the present fender utilizes all the technical solutions of all the aforementioned embodiments, it at least possesses all the beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the aforementioned embodiments, and therefore, a detailed description thereof will not be repeated here.
