[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In the embodiment, a fuel ash filter mounting structure is disclosed, which comprises a car body assembly 1 and a wheel hub decoration part 2. A containing space 1a for containing a fuel ash filter 3 is formed between the car body assembly 1 and the wheel hub decoration part 2, and a partition layer 4 is arranged between the interlayers of the car body assembly 1 and the wheel hub decoration part 2 to separate the containing space 1a from the external environment. The fuel ash filter 3 is installed in the containing space 1a. It can be understood that the car body assembly 1 usually comprises a side wall plate and a rear wheel cover of a car, which is not limited here. The wheel hub decoration part 2 can be a fender or a separately designed decorative sheet metal part, which can be fixedly connected to the car body assembly 1 by screwing or the like. Like most existing cars, the fuel ash filter 3 is preferably arranged above the rear wheel of the car and can be connected to a carbon can assembly through a connecting pipeline. Here, the partition layer 4 preferably adopts a foaming layer. The installation mode of the fuel ash filter 3 in the containing space 1a is not limited, such as fixed connection with the car body assembly 1 through an installation support.
[0024] The fuel filter installation structure in the structural design can adapt to long-time driving of the automobile in a snow environment, can help reduce the risk of fueling jump, and improve the use safety of the vehicle; specifically, the accommodation space 1a for accommodating the fuel filter 3 is arranged between the vehicle body assembly 1 and the hub trim 2, and the accommodation space 1a is separated from the external environment by the separation layer 4 arranged between the layers of the vehicle body assembly 1 and the hub trim 2. Therefore, when driving in a snow environment, the ground snow can be effectively prevented from entering the accommodation space from the layer part of the vehicle body assembly 1 and the hub trim 2, so that the risk of snow entering the fuel filter can be effectively reduced, the icing blockage is avoided to interfere with the fueling process, the risk of fueling jump is reduced, and the use safety of the vehicle is improved. At the same time, the installation position of the fuel filter 3 is reasonable, which is beneficial to the arrangement and installation on the vehicle body and helps to provide arrangement space for the installation of other parts.
[0025] In the embodiment, the vehicle body assembly 1 includes a rear wheel cover 101, a side wall inner plate 102, and a side wall outer plate 103. The hub trim 2 and the rear wheel cover 101, the side wall inner plate 102, and the side wall outer plate 103 form the accommodation space 1a. Specifically, the rear wheel cover 101 and the rear frame are in an integrated structure, the side wall inner plate 102 is an integrated side wall rear inner plate, the side wall inner plate 102 is welded and fixed with the rear wheel cover 101, and the arc-shaped wheel cover part of the rear wheel cover 101 is formed on the side wall inner plate 102 to cover the rear wheel. The side wall outer plate 103 is fixedly connected to the side wall inner plate 102. This part can be designed according to the existing vehicle body structure, which will not be described here. The hub trim 2 is fixedly connected to the rear frame and / or the side wall inner plate 102 by screw connection, so as to facilitate disassembly and replacement and maintenance of the fuel filter 3 in the later period. In the structural design, the accommodation space 1a is formed by the hub trim 2, the rear wheel cover 101, the side wall inner plate 102, and the side wall outer plate 103, which is beneficial to the arrangement of the vehicle body space and does not change the original vehicle body structure much, so as to ensure that the fuel filter 3 has sufficient installation space. The hub trim 2 can also simultaneously complete the decoration of the corresponding rear wheel installation parts of the rear wheel cover 101, the side wall inner plate 102, and the side wall outer plate 103.
[0026] In the embodiment, the hub trim 2 is a rear wheel mudguard, that is, the rear wheel mudguard directly forms the accommodation space 1a for installing the fuel filter 3 with the vehicle body assembly 1, so that an additional sheet metal part does not need to be designed separately. The rear wheel mudguard plays a multi-purpose role, which is beneficial to saving production costs and facilitating the space arrangement of the overall structure of the vehicle body.
[0027] In the embodiment, the side wall inner plate 102 is provided with an outer recess 102a protruding away from the hub ornament 2, and the accommodation space 1a is located at the outer recess 102a. It can be understood that the side wall inner plate 102 is generally arranged below the wheel mounting part corresponding to the hub ornament 2, and plays a shielding decoration role. Specifically, the outer recess 102a is located on the arc wheel cover part of the side wall inner plate 102. The “outer recess 102a” here is relative, and the direction away from the hub ornament 2 is outer. In this structure design, by arranging the outer recess 102a on the side wall inner plate 102, it is beneficial to form sufficient installation space for the fuel filter 3 and ensure the compactness of the overall structure. It is also beneficial to the structural design of the hub ornament 2, and the hub ornament 2 only needs to be conformally designed with the wheel.
[0028] In the embodiment, the outer recess 102a is provided with a mounting plane 102b for mounting the fuel filter 3, and the fuel filter 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plane 102b. By designing the structure of the mounting plane 102b, the stable installation of the fuel filter 3 can be realized, and the installation reliability and installation precision of the fuel filter 3 are high. The stable installation of the fuel filter 3 on the side wall inner plate 102 is beneficial to reduce the shaking during vehicle driving, thereby reducing NVH.
[0029] In the embodiment, the mounting plane 102b is provided with at least two mounting holes 102c, and the fuel filter 3 is fixedly connected to the mounting holes 102c through fasteners 5. Specifically, there are two mounting holes 102c, and the fasteners 5 are bolts. An installation bracket is arranged on the shell of the fuel filter 3, the installation bracket is attached to the mounting plane 102b, and the locking is completed through the fasteners 5. This structure design is simple in structure, high in installation reliability, convenient in connection, and beneficial to later disassembly, maintenance and repair.
[0030] In the embodiment, the partition layer 4 is a foaming layer, such as a PU foaming layer, which is arranged adjacent to the accommodation space 1a. The foaming layer is beneficial to the production of the automobile, is beneficial to adapt to the shape change of the body assembly and the hub ornament 2, can effectively block snow, and has good use reliability. At the same time, it also has a sound insulation effect, and can be beneficial to ensure the lightweight design of the whole.
[0031] In the embodiment, the accommodation space 1a is located at the top of the interlayer between the body assembly 1 and the hub ornament 2, that is, above the wheel. By arranging the accommodation space 1a at the high point of the interlayer, water can be prevented from entering the fuel filter 3 when wading, thereby protecting the filtering effect of the fuel filter 3 and avoiding the decline or blockage of the filtering effect caused by water entering. At the same time, the shielding effect of dust is good. It can further improve the safety and reliability of the vehicle, prolong the service life of the related components, and ensure the stable operation of the vehicle.
[0032] In the embodiment, the fuel ash filter 3 is arranged obliquely relative to the length direction of the vehicle body, and specifically, referring to Figure 4 , the length direction of the fuel ash filter 3 housing is arranged at an angle of 30-60 degrees with the length direction of the vehicle body; by obliquely arranging the fuel ash filter 3, the arrangement space can be saved, and the compactness of the overall arrangement is improved.
