Figure 10 This is a structural schematic diagram of connecting plate II, as shown below. Figure 1-10As shown: The automotive fender mounting bracket assembly of this embodiment includes a fender mounting component and a connecting component connected to the fender mounting component. The fender mounting component and the connecting component are fixedly connected to the vehicle body and form a closed-loop reinforcing structure with the vehicle body. The fender mounting component is used to mount the fender 1. By setting the connecting component, the fender mounting component supports the fender 1, while the connecting component and the fender mounting component form a closed-loop reinforcing structure with the vehicle body. This allows the fender mounting component and the connecting component to support each other structurally. Compared with the single bracket support in the prior art, the fender mounting component and the connecting component can achieve structural weight reduction while meeting the usage requirements. At the same time, they can form a closed force transmission structure, thereby improving the impact resistance of the fender 1.
[0030] In existing technologies, fender assemblies typically have multiple mounting brackets. To ensure the installation strength and impact resistance of the fender, the structural strength of each mounting bracket is required to be high, which is not conducive to structural lightweighting. The automotive fender mounting bracket assembly and the vehicle of this utility model, by setting up fender mounting components and connecting components to form a closed-loop reinforced structure with the vehicle body, enable the fender mounting components and connecting components to support each other structurally. This allows the fender mounting bracket assembly to meet usage requirements while achieving structural lightweighting, and also optimizes the force transmission path. Compared with a single fender mounting bracket, it can provide better and more comprehensive stiffness support for the fender, improving the overall dent resistance and lateral stiffness of the fender.
[0031] In this embodiment, the fender mounting assembly includes an upper mounting plate 6 fixedly connected to the longitudinal beam 8 of the vehicle body and a middle mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate 6. The connecting assembly is fixedly connected to the middle mounting plate 2 and to the body sheet metal part 5. The upper and middle parts are only used to distinguish the mounting positions of the upper mounting plate 6 and the middle mounting plate 2 relative to the vehicle body. The fender mounting assembly and the connecting assembly are respectively connected to different positions of the vehicle body in the vertical direction, thereby improving the Y-direction connection stiffness of the fender 1. The body sheet metal part 5 can be the front bulkhead inner panel.
[0032] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate I3 and a connecting plate II4 that are fixedly connected to each other. The connecting plate I3 is fixedly connected to the central mounting plate 2, and the connecting plate II4 is fixedly connected to the body sheet metal part 5. The connecting plate II4 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 401 for mounting the connecting plate I3. The connecting plate I3 is provided with a plurality of protruding ribs 301, which can improve the structural strength of the connecting plate I3 and improve its impact resistance. At the same time, the edge of the connecting plate II4 extends downward (in the vertical direction of the car) to form a flange, which can improve the structural strength of the connecting plate II4. The connecting assembly includes the connecting plate I3 and the connecting plate II4, which facilitates installation and reduces the probability of deformation of the connecting plate I3 and the connecting plate II4 during installation. At the same time, the connecting plate I3 and the connecting plate II4 are fixedly connected by overlapping, which can improve the structural strength of the connection.

The connecting flange 201 is formed by folding, and is used to install the upper mounting hole II 602. The upper mounting hole II 602 is also used to install the upper part of the car's headlight. Thus, while providing support for the fender 1, it can also be used to install the headlight without the need for a separate headlight mounting bracket, which facilitates the improvement of integration. The middle mounting plate 2 has a fender support part 202 that extends downward and conforms to the shape of the fender 1. The fender support part 202 is bonded to the fender 1, thereby providing support for the panel of the fender 1 and improving the dent resistance of the fender 1. Multiple glue grooves 2021 and weight reduction holes 2022 are provided on the fender support part 202. The glue grooves 2021 are used to hold expanding glue during use, which can provide lateral support for the fender 1 after it is glued, thereby improving the local dent resistance.

Thus, the headlight and front bumper can be assembled at one time during installation, improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, there is no need to set up a separate front bumper mounting bracket. Compared with the prior art, which sets up separate mounting brackets for each functional component, the gap surface difference between the fender 1, headlight and front bumper can be reduced, thereby improving the appearance quality and wind noise performance of the car.
[0035] In this embodiment, the middle mounting plate 2 is also provided with a headlight mounting position; the middle mounting plate 2 is provided with a headlight mounting position, that is, the middle mounting plate 2 is provided with a mounting hole for fixing the lower part of the headlight.
