Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile accessories, in particular to an automobile comprising an engine side guard plate. Background Art

[0002] When a vehicle is driving, the wheels roll over stones, mud, and corrosive liquids, which can splash onto the engine. Protecting the engine's timing side is essential to prevent these stones, mud, and corrosive liquids from damaging components such as the crankshaft front oil seal, drive belt, and alternator assembly. Currently, commercial vehicles, often used in harsh road conditions, often feature engine-side protection, while passenger vehicles often use an under-engine guard.

[0003] For example, publication number CN216424305U, published on May 3, 2022, discloses an automobile engine underguard. The underguard is fixedly mounted below the engine and is an integrally formed N-shaped structure. The underguard comprises a transverse guard, a right guard, and a left guard. The transverse guard is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes arranged along its length. The right guard is provided with a downwardly bent portion, which is provided with a plurality of second fixing holes arranged along its length. A third fixing hole is provided at the end of the right guard, and a fourth fixing hole is provided at the end of the left guard. When in use, the disclosed underguard cannot completely separate debris driven by the rotating wheels from the engine assembly, resulting in poor protection for the engine assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an effective automobile including an engine side guard plate. The utility model protects the engine by means of a guard plate arranged between the engine assembly and the wheels.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a car including an engine side guard plate, including an engine assembly and wheels, a front wheel cover guard plate is provided on the engine assembly, a protective plate is provided between the engine assembly and the wheel, the protective plate is connected to the front longitudinal beam side cover plate, and the protective plate is arranged inside the front wheel cover plate.

[0006] One side of the protection plate is provided with a first mounting hole connected to the front longitudinal beam side cover plate and the front wheel cover guard plate.

[0007] A flange is provided on the other side of the protection plate, one end of the flange is provided with a second mounting hole connected to the longitudinal beam bracket, and the other end of the flange is provided with a third mounting hole connected to the engine lower guard plate.

[0008] A vertical plate is provided on the flange, and the third mounting hole is provided on the vertical plate.

[0009] The second mounting hole is a waist-shaped hole.

[0010] A contact platform is provided on the protection plate, and the mounting hole is provided on the contact platform.

[0011] The flange faces the engine assembly.

[0012] The protection plate is provided with a positioning pin.

[0013] The protection plate is provided with reinforcing ribs.

[0014] The flange is provided with a reinforcement protrusion.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] The protective plate is installed between the wheel and the engine assembly. The protective plate, front wheel cover and front longitudinal beam cover together protect the engine assembly, completely isolating stones, mud, corrosive liquids and the like brought up by the rotation of the wheels from splashing onto the engine assembly. It effectively protects the crankshaft front oil seal from abnormal wear of the oil seal lip caused by mud and sand entering, which may lead to lubricating oil leakage. It also prevents corrosive liquids from splashing into the generator rotor, causing the engine rotor to rust and seize.

[0017] The protective plate is stably mounted by means of the first mounting hole, the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole provided on the protective plate;

[0018] The protective plate is provided with a positioning pin to position the protective plate during installation; the protective plate is provided with a reinforcing rib and the flange is provided with a reinforcing protrusion, thereby increasing the strength of the entire protective plate and increasing the service life of the entire protective plate.
