[0002] Wheel arches, as an important component of a car body, not only protect the body and wheels but also significantly influence the vehicle's appearance. Existing wheel arch structures have limitations in terms of ease of installation, structural strength, and compatibility with other body components. For example, they suffer from insufficient stability and inadequate cushioning, failing to meet the demands of modern automotive design and use. Therefore, a new wheel arch structure is needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel wheel arch structure, comprising:
[0005] An arc-shaped plate has two elongated mounting plates on its upper surface. Three mating seats are also integrally formed on the upper surface of the arc-shaped plate, with two of the mating seats located on either side of one of the mounting plates.
[0006] Both mounting plates are provided with snap-fit mounting bases on their upper surfaces, and the upper surfaces of the arc-shaped plates are provided with latches on both the left and right sides.
[0007] The mounting plate has an L-shaped cross-section on its left side, and several reinforcing ribs are integrally formed on the upper surface of the mounting plate.
[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate is arranged along a portion of the length of the arc-shaped plate for surface-contact installation and fixation with the footrest cover of the vehicle body.
[0009] Furthermore, the docking seat has a connecting hole inside for bolts to pass through, so as to achieve a tight connection between the wheel arch and the foot pedal guard.
[0010] Furthermore, a buffer cavity is provided on the rear side of the arc-shaped plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a gap is maintained between the inner top wall of the mounting plate and the arc-shaped plate.
[0012] Furthermore, at least two limiting strips are provided on the inner top wall of the mounting plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This new wheel arch structure, through the cooperation of various connecting structures such as mounting plates, docking seats, snap-fit mounting seats, and locks, achieves a stable connection with the vehicle body footrest cover and other parts. It is easy to install and highly reliable. The reinforcing ribs enhance the structural strength of the mounting plate and improve the overall durability of the wheel arch. In addition, the buffer cavity on the rear side of the arc plate can effectively absorb vibration and impact, improve the comfort of the vehicle during driving and the impact resistance of the wheel arch, and extend the service life of the wheel arch and the vehicle body.

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment presents a novel wheel arch structure designed to increase the stability of the connection between the wheel arch and the vehicle body.
[0020] Specifically, it includes an arc-shaped plate 1, with two elongated mounting plates 2 disposed on the upper end surface of the arc-shaped plate 1, and three mating seats 3 integrally formed on the upper end surface of the arc-shaped plate 1, wherein two of the mating seats 3 are located on both sides of one of the mounting plates 2.
[0021] Both mounting plates 2 are provided with snap-fit mounting bases 4 on their upper surfaces, and the arc plate 1 is provided with latches 5 on both the left and right sides of its upper surface; the left side cross-section of the mounting plate 2 is L-shaped, and several reinforcing ribs 6 are integrally formed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 2.
[0022] In actual installation, the L-shaped mounting plate 2 can increase the contact area and connection stability between the mounting plate 2 and the vehicle body footrest cover. Moreover, the mounting plate 2 is set along part of the length of the arc plate 1, and the shape of the mounting plate 2 is consistent with the shape of the arc plate 1. During installation, the mounting plate 2 is installed and fixed to the vehicle body footrest cover through surface contact, which can make the connection between the wheel arch and the footrest cover more secure and reduce loosening and abnormal noise during driving.
[0023] Furthermore, by opening a connection hole inside the docking seat 3, a bolt connector is passed through the connection hole, and the other end of the bolt connector is connected to the pre-embedded nut inside the foot pedal guard, thereby achieving a tight connection between the wheel arch and the foot pedal guard. This connection method is simple, reliable, and easy to install and disassemble.
[0024] Furthermore, the clip mounting bracket 4 is used to install clips and connects to the corresponding docking part of the vehicle body through the clips, thereby assisting in the installation of the wheel arch, making the wheel arch installation process faster, and enhancing the connection strength between the wheel arch and the vehicle body to a certain extent.
[0025] In detail, the reinforcing ribs 6 enhance the structural strength of the mounting plate 2, prevent deformation under external forces, and ensure the reliability of the connection between the wheel arch and the footrest guard.
[0026] In addition, a gap is maintained between the inner top wall of the mounting plate 2 and the arc plate 1. When the vehicle is in motion, the existence of this gap can play a buffering role to a certain extent, absorbing vibrations and impacts from the road surface and reducing damage to the wheel arches and the vehicle body.
[0027] In actual installation, at least two limiting strips 8 are provided on the inner top wall of the mounting plate 2. The limiting strips 8 can fit tightly with the foot pedal guard during installation, making the installation more precise and convenient, and also further improving the stability of the connection.
[0028] Preferably, a buffer cavity 7 is provided on the rear side of the arc plate 1. The buffer cavity absorbs and buffers the impact force from behind the wheel. For example, when the vehicle encounters a bump or depression in the road surface during driving, the buffer cavity 7 can reduce the impact on the wheel arch and the body, and protect the body structure and the wheel arch itself.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
