[0029] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals indicate the same or similar components or components with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.
[0030] As Figures 1-4 shown, the present utility model provides a fender bracket for providing support to the fender skin 100. The fender bracket includes a support plate 3, two connecting plates 2, and two fixing plates 1. The support plate 3 is used to be in contact with the fender skin 100 to provide support to the fender skin 100. The two connecting plates 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the support plate 3. The connecting plates 2 are arranged at an angle with the support plate 3 and extend in a direction away from the fender skin 100. The two fixing plates 1 are respectively arranged at one end of the two connecting plates 2 away from the support plate 3 and are respectively folded outward relative to the connecting plates 2, so that the support plate 3, the two connecting plates 2, and the two fixing plates 1 form a structure similar to a "U" shape. The fixing plate 1 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body frame through fasteners, thereby providing reliable support to the fender skin 100. The support plate 3, the connecting plate 2, and the fixing plate 1 are integrally formed and connected. During production, it can be completed at one time by means of blanking forming. The fender support bracket of this embodiment supports by arranging the support plate 3 in contact with the fender skin 100, and arranges two connecting plates 2 on both sides of the support plate 3. One end of the two connecting plates 2 away from the support plate 3 is connected to the fixing plate 1. The fixing plate 1 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body frame through fasteners, and the support plate 3, the connecting plate 2, and the fixing plate 1 are integrally formed. The structure is simple, the previous production process is simple, it can be directly blanked and formed, and it is fixedly connected to the vehicle body frame through fasteners, greatly improving the convenience of later maintenance.
[0031] Furthermore, as Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the support plate 3 is provided with a relief hole 32, which extends along the length of the support plate 3. The relief hole 32 is configured as an elongated hole, with its length along the length of the support plate 3 and its width along the width of the support plate 3, and is located in the middle of the support plate 3. It is understood that in most cases, the fender skin 100 has a certain curvature and will produce slight deformation during driving. The provision of the relief hole 32 on the support plate 3 can effectively avoid the noise generated by the frequent contact or separation of the fender skin 100 with the support plate 3 during slight deformation, significantly reducing the possibility of abnormal noise.
[0032] For details, please refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, four glue grooves 31 are also provided on the support plate 3, and the four glue grooves 31 are located in groups of two at both ends of the avoidance hole 32 along the length direction. The two glue grooves 31 in each group are spaced apart along the width direction of the support plate 3, that is, the four glue grooves 31 are located at both ends of the support plate 3 and the length direction of the glue grooves 31 is parallel to the length direction of the support plate 3. The glue grooves 31 are used to fill with shock-absorbing glue, and the shock-absorbing glue is bonded to the fender skin 100, thereby further preventing the fender skin 100 from being vibrated and making abnormal noises during the driving process of the vehicle. In other embodiments, the shock-absorbing glue can also be replaced with structural glue or shock-absorbing structural glue, which can also play the role of shock absorption and buffering, and can also further increase the structural strength at the bonding position. The shock-absorbing glue, structural glue and shock-absorbing structural glue in this embodiment are all existing technologies in the field. Those skilled in the art can determine their components and construction methods according to actual needs, and they will not be elaborated here.
[0033] Similarly, please continue to refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, each set of adhesive grooves 31 is provided with a relief groove 33 between them. The relief groove 33 extends along the length of the support plate 3 and is recessed away from the fender skin 100. Specifically, the support plate 3 is provided with inwardly recessed relief grooves 33 at both ends of the relief hole 32. When the fender skin 100 experiences minor deformation during vehicle operation, the relief grooves 33 further prevent the fender skin 100 from frequently contacting or separating from the support plate 3, thereby further suppressing the generation of abnormal noise.
[0034] Furthermore, if Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, a weight-reducing hole 21 is provided on the connecting plate 2. The weight-reducing hole 21 is a long hole and extends in the direction from the fixed plate 1 to the support plate 3. The two connecting plates 2 are not arranged in parallel. Specifically, the two connecting plates 2 are inclined toward each other, and the distance between the ends of the two connecting plates 2 connected to the support plate 3 is greater than the distance between the ends of the two connecting plates 2 connected to the fixed plate 1. Such an arrangement, on the one hand, enhances the overall stability and structural strength of the fender support bracket, and on the other hand, forms a certain draft angle, which is convenient for demolding during punching and forming. It can be understood that the force direction of the connecting plate 2 in this embodiment is along the direction from the support plate 3 to the fixed plate 1. Therefore, the weight-reducing hole 21 is set as a long hole, and its length direction is consistent with the force direction of the connecting plate 2, and will not affect the structural length of the connecting plate 2. At the same time, a convex rib 22 is also provided on the connecting plate 2. The convex rib 22 protrudes outward from the connecting plate 2, and the length direction of the convex rib 22 is parallel to the length direction of the connecting plate 2. By providing the convex rib 22, the connecting plate 2 is less likely to deform during use, thereby further increasing the structural strength of the connecting plate 2.
[0035] Optionally, two weight-reducing holes 21 and two ribs 22 are provided, and the two weight-reducing holes 21 and the two ribs 22 are staggered along the length direction of the connecting plate 2, thereby further improving the lightweight degree of the connecting plate 2 while also further enhancing its structural strength.
[0036] Furthermore, both ends of the two fixing plates 1 are provided with through holes, and projection nuts are welded at the corresponding positions of the vehicle body frame, so that the fender support bracket can be detachably fixed to the vehicle body frame through four bolts. Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, one of the fixing plates 1 is provided with a positioning hole 11 and a second adjustment hole 13 at both ends, respectively. The other fixing plate 1 is provided with a first adjustment hole 12 and a second adjustment hole 13 at both ends. Positioning hole 11 and first adjustment hole 12 are arranged diagonally. First adjustment hole 12 is an elongated hole, its length being the extension of the line connecting positioning hole 11 and first adjustment hole 12. The diameter of second adjustment hole 13 is larger than that of positioning hole 11. This arrangement allows positioning hole 11 and first adjustment hole 12 to perform primary and auxiliary positioning, respectively, during installation, ensuring installation accuracy while also allowing for a certain degree of adjustment of the installation position.
[0037] Optionally, a weight-reducing notch 14 is further provided on the fixing plate 1. The weight-reducing notch 14 is located in the middle of the fixing plate 1 and on the side where the fixing plate 1 is not connected to the connecting plate 2. The weight-reducing notch 14 is provided to improve the lightweightness of the fixing plate 1.
[0038] The present invention also provides a vehicle comprising a vehicle body frame, a fender skin 100, and a fender support bracket in this embodiment. A support plate 3 is bonded to the fender skin 100, and a fixing plate 1 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body frame. The fender support bracket in this embodiment reduces assembly complexity and improves vehicle maintenance convenience.
[0039] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
