[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.

[0027] It should be understood that, in the description of the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements indicated must be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, therefore it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The terms "first", "second" are only for the purpose of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features, that is, the features with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In addition, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more.

[0028] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.

[0029] As Figures 1-4 shown, the front wheel cover front end connecting structure of the embodiments of the utility model makes the force transmission path continuous and improves the structural strength.

[0030] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides a front wheel cover front end connecting structure, including wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1, wheel cover support plate 2, front end frame mounting plate 3 and front end frame 4. Among them, the front end frame mounting plate 3 is used to install the front end frame 4, and the wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1 and the wheel cover support plate 2 are used to install the front wheel cover.

[0031] The wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1 is configured to be arranged on one side of the engine compartment.

[0032] The wheel cover support plate 2 is located below the wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1. The wheel cover support plate extension 5 is installed above the wheel cover support plate 2. The wheel cover support plate extension 5 is connected to the wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1. The wheel cover support plate extension 5 has a first cavity 51.

[0033] The front frame mounting plate 3 is connected to the front side of the wheel arch support plate extension 5. The front frame 4 is located on the front side of the front frame mounting plate 3, and the front frame 4 has a second cavity 41.

[0034] In this embodiment, the extension direction of the first cavity 51 is the same as the extension direction of the second cavity 41, so that the force transmission path between the wheel cover support plate extension 5 and the front end frame 4 is continuous, thereby improving the structural strength.

[0035] Based on the above structural configuration, the wheel cover support plate 2 is positioned below the wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1, and a wheel cover support plate extension 5 is installed above the wheel cover support plate 2. The wheel cover support plate extension 5 is connected to the wheel cover outer plate reinforcing plate 1, and the wheel cover support plate extension 5 has a first cavity 51. A front frame mounting plate 3 is connected to the front side of the wheel cover support plate extension 5. A front frame 4 is positioned in front of the front frame mounting plate 3, and the front frame 4 has a second cavity 41. Since the extension direction of the first cavity 51 is the same as the extension direction of the second cavity 41, the force transmission path between the wheel cover support plate extension 5 and the front frame 4 is continuous, improving structural strength and thus enhancing safety performance.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a first bolt 6 is included, and the front-end frame 4 is mounted to the front-end frame mounting plate 3 by the first bolt 6. One end of the first bolt 6 extends into the first cavity 51, and the other end of the first bolt 6 extends into the second cavity 41. This makes the mounting structure of the first bolt 6 compact and occupies little space.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the wheel arch support plate extension 5 has an L-shaped cross-section, and the wheel arch support plate extension 5 and the front frame mounting plate 3 enclose a first cavity 51. The shape of the wheel arch support plate extension 5 improves the stamping performance and reduces the occurrence of stamping cracks.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the two sides of the wheel arch support plate extension 5 are bent to form a first folded edge 52 and a second folded edge 53, respectively. The first folded edge 52 is configured to abut against the front plate 7 of the wheel arch, and the second folded edge 53 abuts against the front frame mounting plate 3. In this way, the force-bearing area of ​​the wheel arch support plate extension 5 is increased, making the mounting structure more stable.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the front end frame mounting plate 3 is connected with the wheel cover support plate extension 5 through a second bolt 8. In this way, the front end frame mounting plate 3 and the wheel cover support plate extension 5 are convenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0040] As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the front end frame mounting plate 3 is connected with the wheel cover support plate extension 5 through a second bolt 8. In this way, the front end frame mounting plate 3 and the wheel cover support plate extension 5 are convenient to disassemble and assemble. Figure 4

[0041] As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the front end frame mounting plate 3 is connected with the wheel cover support plate extension 5 through a second bolt 8. In this way, the front end frame mounting plate 3 and the wheel cover support plate extension 5 are convenient to disassemble and assemble. Figure 3

[0042] Further, in some embodiments, the mounting portion 31 and the welding portion 32 are perpendicular to each other. The structure layout of the front end frame mounting plate 3 is compact.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the wheel cover support plate 2 is arranged in a bending manner, and the wheel cover support plate extension 5 is attached to the bending portion of the wheel cover support plate 2. In this way, the contact area between the wheel cover support plate extension 5 and the wheel cover support plate 2 is increased, thereby improving the stability of the mounting structure. Figure 4

[0044] As shown in the drawings, in some embodiments, the front end frame 4 is provided with a baffle plate 42 on both sides, the baffle plate 42 is arranged in a spaced manner with the front end frame 4, and the extension direction of the baffle plate 42 is the same as the extension direction of the second cavity 41. The baffle plate 42 can have a protective effect on the front end frame 4 and improve the strength of the structure. Figure 2

[0045] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principles of the present application, a number of improvements and substitutions can be made, and these improvements and substitutions should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.​​​​
