[0002] The fender mounting bracket assembly is usually used to fix the connection between the fender and the vehicle body. Existing fenders are generally directly mounted on the "mounting bracket", which allows the fender to have a certain amount of mobility by reducing the vertical support stiffness.
[0003] In conjunction with the disclosure (announcement) number CN216761911U, the disclosure (announcement) date is 2022-06-17, and a car fender top mounting bracket assembly is disclosed, including a fender, a side mounting plate and a top support plate. The side mounting plate is stamped and formed at the top of the fender, and the top support plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the side mounting plate. Oblique support plates are fixedly arranged on both sides of the top support plate, and bottom support plates are fixedly arranged at the bottom of the two groups of oblique support plates. A reinforcement plate is welded between the two groups of oblique support plates, and a strip hole is opened in the middle of the two groups of oblique support plates. By providing the reinforcement plate, the fixed hole and the strip hole, the overall structural mass can be reduced while the overall structural strength can be increased, thereby preventing the top support plate, the oblique support plate and the bottom support plate from being easily deformed and damaged.
[0004] However, in the prior art including the above-mentioned patent, since the fender and the mounting plate are fixedly connected, the impact on the fender will be directly transmitted to the mounting plate, and then transmitted to the vehicle body through the mounting plate, causing damage to the body.

[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a fender mounting bracket assembly includes a fender 1 and a bracket 2, which is provided with a keyway open toward a first side, and a slide 3 slidably disposed in the keyway, and a wing plate 21 is symmetrically disposed on the bracket 2 with respect to the slide 3, and a side groove 22 open toward a second side is provided at the connection portion between the bracket 2 and the wing plate 21;
[0026] Expansion bolts 4 for assembling the fender 1 on the slide 3;
[0027] The first elastic member 5 is used to maintain the distance between the bracket 2 and the fender 1 , and the first elastic member 5 abuts against the fender 1 when the deformation amount of the first elastic member 5 does not exceed a predetermined range.
[0028] Specifically, the slide 3 is provided with fixing bolts 31 for assembling the fender 1, and the fixing bolts 31 slideably engage with the side grooves 22. The expansion bolts 4 are provided with expansion portions 41. When assembling the fender 1, the fender 1 and the slide 3 are first assembled together by tightening the expansion bolts 4. Then, the fixing bolts 31 are screwed in to strengthen the connection between the fender 1 and the slide 3. At this time, the first elastic member 5 is located between the bracket 2 and the fender 1, and the end of the first elastic member 5 is supported against the cavity of the fender 1.
[0029] Furthermore, the side of the bracket 2 facing the fender 1 is the first side, and the side opposite thereto is the second side. The side grooves 22 are symmetrically opened about the key slot, and the opening direction of the side grooves 22 is opposite to the key slot, so that the bracket 2 is as follows: Figure 2The W-shape shown has a certain amount of deformation activity. When the fender 1 is subjected to an impact force from the length direction of the bracket 2, the W-shaped structure can cause the bracket 2 to fold as a whole and absorb part of the impact, thereby preventing the impact force from being directly transmitted to the vehicle body. When the force is directed to the fender 1, the force will cause the cavity part of the fender 1 to be concave, and the fender 1 will drive the first elastic member 5 to fold. When the impact force is small, the deformation of the first elastic member 5 is within the predetermined range. At this time, the fender 1 and the end of the first elastic member 5 remain in a state of abutment. With the support of the first elastic member 5, the degree of concavity of the cavity part can be reduced, making subsequent maintenance more convenient. When the impact force is too large, the deformation of the first elastic member 5 exceeds the predetermined range. At this time, the first elastic member 5 reaches its extreme and will push the first elastic member 5 from its original position through the fender 1. The first elastic member 5 no longer maintains the distance between the bracket 2 and the fender 1, so that the fender 1 will drive the slide 3 to slide along the key slot. The friction force during the sliding process slows down the impact force of the fender 1 on the vehicle body, thereby reducing losses.
[0030] In the above technology, the W-shaped structure of the bracket 2 allows the bracket 2 to fold as a whole when the fender 1 is subjected to an impact force in the longitudinal direction of the bracket 2, thereby partially absorbing the impact. Furthermore, the first elastic member 5 supports the cavity of the fender 1, thereby reducing the degree of concavity in the cavity during an impact, and reducing the impact force exerted by the fender 1 on the vehicle body, thereby minimizing damage.
[0031] As an embodiment further provided by the present invention, the first elastic member 5 is rotatably disposed in the bracket 2, and a transmission rod 51 is provided on the first elastic member 5, and a fixing plate 54 is fixedly provided on the bracket 2;
[0032] The transmission rod 51 is pulled by the first elastic member 5 and abuts against the fixing plate 54 .
[0033] Specifically, the end of the first elastic member 5 that abuts against the fender 1 is the free end, and the end opposite thereto is the rotating end. A transmission rod 51 is rotatably mounted on the free end. A rotating shaft 53 for rotating the first elastic member 5 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 2. A fixed plate 54 is fixedly mounted on the end of the fixed plate 54. A pressing portion 52 is mounted on the end of the transmission rod 51. Because the first elastic member 5 inherently possesses a certain amount of elastic potential energy, in a default state, a certain distance is maintained between the free end and the rotating end. The free end pulls the transmission rod 51, causing the pressing portion 52 to abut against the fixed plate 54. When the fender 1 is impacted, the first elastic member 5 deforms. As long as the deformation does not exceed a predetermined range, the pressing portion 52 remains in close contact with the fixed plate 54. At this time, the rotation of the first elastic member 5 drives the pressing portion 52 to rotate synchronously. However, the pressing portion 52 is restricted by the fixed plate 54 and cannot rotate freely. Therefore, the first elastic member 5 cannot rotate freely and remains in contact with the fender 1. When the deformation of the first elastic member 5 exceeds a predetermined range, the transmission rod 51 is driven to move toward the rotating end, and the distance between the pressing portion 52 and the fixed plate 54 is enlarged. This distance makes the rotation path of the pressing portion 52 staggered with the fixed plate 54, and the pressing portion 52 can rotate freely, so that the first elastic member 5 can automatically rotate and no longer support the fender 1, so that the first elastic member 5 can automatically disengage from the fender 1 under excessive impact force, thereby avoiding elastic fatigue of the first elastic member 5.
[0034] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, the second elastic member 23 is further provided on the bracket 2 and is used to support the slide 3 .
[0035] Specifically, the second elastic member 25 is used to push the slide 3 toward the keyway opening. Because the side slot 22 opens in the opposite direction of the keyway, the fixing bolt 31 is blocked by the side slot 22, securing the slide 3 in the opening. When the fender 1 is impacted, the fender 1 drives the slide 3 toward the second end of the bracket 2. At this time, the second elastic member 25 acts as a buffer, reducing the impact force on the vehicle body.
[0036] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, a movable pin 32 for locking the slide 3 and the bracket 2 is slidably provided on the slide 3 .
[0037] Specifically, a spring is provided on the movable pin 32, and under the support of the spring, the movable pin 32 tends to extend upward. When the second elastic member 25 pushes the slide 3 to reach the slot, the through hole opened on the slide 3 corresponds to the through hole on the bracket 2, so that the movable pin 32 extends into the through hole and locks the slide 3 and the bracket 2. At this time, a certain distance is maintained between the fender 1 and the bracket 2 to form a collapse space.
[0038] As another embodiment further provided by the present invention, there is a station in the movable stroke of the first elastic member 5 for interlacing the movable pin 32 and the bracket 2 .
[0039] Specifically, the first elastic member 5 is provided with a protrusion 55 that slidably engages the end of the movable pin 32. The spring forces the movable pin 32 downward, causing the movable pin 32 to be offset from the bracket 3 under the action of the spring. When the deformation of the first elastic member 5 does not exceed a predetermined range, the first elastic member 5 does not rotate. At this time, the protrusion 55 pushes against the movable pin 32, causing it to engage with the through-hole in the bracket 2. When the deformation of the first elastic member 5 exceeds the predetermined range, the first elastic member 5 rotates, driving the protrusion 55 with it. Without the protrusion 55's push, the movable pin 32 falls along the surface of the protrusion 55 and intersects with the bracket 2, thus entering the working position of the first elastic member 5. The cooperation between the protrusion 55 and the movable pin 32 ensures that the first elastic member 5 remains against the cavity of the fender 1 under minor impacts. However, under significant impacts, the first elastic member 5 disengages from the fender 1 and releases the locking relationship between the slide 3 and the bracket 2. The impact on the fender 2 is cushioned by the second elastic member 25, thereby reducing the impact on the vehicle's body.
[0040] Working principle: When the fender 1 is impacted, the first elastic member 5 is deformed. When the deformation does not exceed the predetermined range, the pressing portion 52 remains in close contact with the fixed plate 54. At this time, the rotation of the first elastic member 5 will drive the pressing portion 52 to rotate synchronously, but the pressing portion 52 is restricted by the fixed plate 54 and cannot rotate freely. Therefore, the first elastic member 5 cannot rotate freely, and the first elastic member 5 remains in contact with the fender 1.
[0041] When the deformation of the first elastic member 5 exceeds the predetermined range, the transmission rod 51 is driven to move toward the rotating end, and the distance between the pressing portion 52 and the fixed plate 54 is enlarged. This distance makes the rotation path of the pressing portion 52 staggered with the fixed plate 54, and the pressing portion 52 can rotate freely, so that the first elastic member 5 can automatically rotate and no longer support the fender 1, so that the first elastic member 5 automatically disengages from the fender 1 under excessive impact force, and the first elastic member 5 rotates and drives the protrusion 55 to rotate. After losing the push of the protrusion 55, the movable pin 32 falls along the surface of the protrusion 55 and intersects with the bracket 2, releasing the locking relationship between the slide 3 and the bracket 2, and the fender 1 drives the slide 3 to move toward the second end of the bracket 2. At this time, the second elastic member 25 can play a buffering role, reducing the impact of the impact force on the vehicle body.
[0042] The above description is merely illustrative of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It goes without saying that those skilled in the art will be able to modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
