Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the structure of vehicle body engine compartment components, specifically to a fender bracket and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To cater to the aesthetic demands of younger generations, current automotive styling has evolved towards increasingly low-slung front fascias, horizontally elongated headlights, and ever-larger tires, resulting in a sporty and avant-garde look. This styling has placed significant technical challenges on the vehicle's structure, particularly the extremely limited space for the fender side panels. This presents considerable challenges to the strength, precision, and durability of the fender bracket's mounting structure. Existing fender brackets only function to connect to the fenders; surrounding them are components such as headlight brackets, front fascia support blocks, and the sealing structure at the front end of the engine compartment's longitudinal beams. The large number of components makes process precision difficult to control, requiring numerous molds, fixtures, and inspection tools, resulting in substantial fixed costs. Utility Model Content

The fender bracket integrates multiple functions, which can improve manufacturing precision, improve the assembly precision of the fender, headlight and engine compartment longitudinal beam, reduce the number of brackets, reduce fixed investment in tooling costs, and also contribute to the lightweighting of the whole vehicle.
