Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of commercial vehicle parts, and in particular relates to a commercial vehicle part. Background Art

[0002] A commercial vehicle fender bracket is a transitional structural component used to secure the fender to the underside of the vehicle's longitudinal beam. This bracket typically utilizes a cantilever beam design, and its primary function is to absorb vibration energy from the fender during vehicle operation through its own elastic deformation.

[0003] Currently, fender brackets generally feature a split structure, consisting of a cast iron or cast steel base and a steel tube. The base is fixed to the underside of the longitudinal beam, while the steel tube is inserted into the base to a certain depth and connected to the base through bolts or welding to form a complete fender bracket. Due to the connection method between the components, this traditional fender bracket structure often experiences loosening or cracking at the joints during vehicle operation. This not only makes the fender bracket prone to breakage, but also has attracted significant attention from companies, as the resulting market claims remain high. Furthermore, due to the material and design, this bracket is relatively heavy, which to some extent affects vehicle performance.

[0004] Composite materials are now widely used. Composite materials refer to materials composed of two or more different substances combined in different ways. They can give full play to the advantages of various materials, overcome the defects of single materials, and expand the application range of materials.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a new, lighter fender bracket structure. Utility Model Content

[0009] The diameter of the reinforcing rib is 1-20 mm;

[0010] The bracket includes a first straight tube, a second straight tube, a third straight tube and an arc-shaped bend tube; the first straight tube, the second straight tube and the third straight tube are connected in sequence through the arc-shaped bend tube

[0011] A thickened tube is provided at one end of the first straight tube connected to the bracket seat; the angle between the side of the thickened tube and the bracket seat is 90°-100°;

[0012] The first straight tube and the third straight tube are parallel to each other;

[0013] The first straight pipe, the second straight pipe and the third straight pipe have the same outer diameter.

[0014] The outer diameter of the arc-shaped curved pipe is different from the outer diameter of the first straight pipe.

[0015] The outer diameter of the arc-shaped curved pipe is larger than the outer diameter of the first straight pipe by 0-10 mm.

[0016] The included angle between the axis of the second straight tube and the axis of the third straight tube is 0-45°.

[0017] The number of the reinforcing ribs is 0-10.

[0018] The inner cavities of the first straight tube, the second straight tube, the third straight tube and the arc-shaped curved tube are connected and connected to the through hole.

[0019] The inlay sleeve is a metal inlay sleeve.

[0020] Through the above design, the present application provides a commercial vehicle fender bracket, which is manufactured by integral molding of a new composite material and is lighter than a traditional commercial vehicle fender bracket; through structural design, external reinforcing ribs are added to enhance its mechanical properties; internal reinforcing ribs are added to prevent relative movement between the tube body and the seat body, thereby preventing the tube body from slipping and the fender from falling; an inlaid sleeve is installed to prevent metal screws from damaging the bracket surface; the angle of the tube body is changed to enhance torque, while meeting the product's loading requirements.
