The mudguard 201 is a body panel covering the wheels, primarily used to prevent mud, stones, water, etc., from being ejected from the wheels, thus protecting the vehicle body, other vehicles, and pedestrians.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 1 The connection structure includes a mounting part 100 and a main body part 200. The main body part 200 is connected to the mounting part 100. The mounting part 100 is used to connect the first part to be connected 10, and the main body part 200 is used to connect the second part to be connected 20.

[0054] The mounting portion 100 has a first connecting portion for connecting to a first part 10 to be connected. The first connecting portion is used for welding or bonding. It is understood that the mounting portion 100 is connected to the inner surface of the first part 10 to be connected, such as a front bumper, by welding or bonding. This connection method does not damage the exterior finish of the front bumper.

[0055] The main body 200 includes at least one first channel portion 210 extending along a first direction and at least one second channel portion 220 extending along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction intersecting.

[0056] The first channel portion 210 and the second channel portion 220 each have a channel, and the inner wall of each channel has a second connecting portion, which can be one of the following: thread, hook, or groove. The number of first channel portions 210 can be one or more. The number of second channel portions 220 can also be one or more. The number of first channel portions 210 and the number of second channel portions 220 can be unequal or equal.

[0057] The first and second directions are not specifically limited; for example, the first direction could be... Figure 1 One of the X-axis extension direction, the Y-axis extension direction, and the Z-axis extension direction; similarly, the second direction could be... Figure 1 The other one among the X-axis extension direction, Y-axis extension direction, and Z-axis extension direction.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 10 The first channel portion 210 is configured to cooperate with a first fastener to connect a first type of second part 20 to the main body portion 200, and the second channel portion 220 is configured to cooperate with a second fastener to connect a second type of second part 20 to the main body portion 200. The first fastener and the second fastener may be the same or different.

[0059] In the above embodiment, the mounting part 100 connects to the first part to be connected 10 via the first connecting part, and the first type of second part to be connected 20 is connected to the first channel part 210 of the main body part 200 via the first fastener, and the second type of second part to be connected 20 is connected to the second channel part 220 of the main body part 200 via the second fastener. This reduces the number of connecting structures and simplifies the overall layout. Furthermore, since the first and second directions intersect, the first type of second part to be connected 20 connecting the first channel part 210 and the second type of second part to be connected 20 connecting the second channel part 220 are connected in different directions of the main body part 200, thereby improving space utilization and reducing installation difficulty. It should be noted that the main body part 200 can also be configured to install only the first type of second part to be connected 20 or only the second type of second part to be connected 20, depending on the requirements.

[0060] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the main body 200 further includes at least one third channel portion 230 extending along a third direction, wherein the second direction and the first direction intersect with the third direction, and the third channel portion 230 is configured to cooperate with a third fastener to connect a third type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body 200.

[0061] It is understood that the number of third channel sections 230 is not limited; there can be one or more. The specific third direction is not limited; for example, the third direction can be one of the X-axis extension direction, Y-axis extension direction, or Z-axis extension direction shown in the diagram. For instance, the first direction is... Figure 1 The X-axis extends in the direction of the second direction. Figure 1 The Y-axis extension direction in the middle, the third direction is Figure 1 The Z-axis extends in the direction of the axis. In this way, multiple second parts 20 to be connected can be installed on the main body 200 from three different directions, further improving space utilization and reducing installation difficulty.

[0062] Among them, the first fastener, the second fastener, the third fastener, and the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh fasteners mentioned below can be the same to improve the versatility of each fastener, and at least some of the fasteners can also be different types of fasteners.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, multiple first channel portions 210 are provided, and the multiple first channel portions 210 are spaced apart and parallel to each other. Some of the first channel portions 210 are configured to cooperate with a first fastener to connect a first type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body portion 200. Other first channel portions 210 are configured to cooperate with a fourth fastener to connect a fourth type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body portion 200. Thus, the first type of second part to be connected 20 and the fourth type of second part to be connected 20 can be connected to the same side of the main body portion 200. For example, the multiple first channel portions 210 are spaced apart along the Y-axis extension direction.

[0064] In some embodiments, multiple second channel portions 220 are provided, spaced apart and parallel to each other. Some of the second channel portions 220 are configured to cooperate with a second fastener to connect a second type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body portion 200, while others are configured to cooperate with a fifth fastener to connect a fifth type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body portion 200. Similarly, the second type of second part to be connected 20 and the fifth type of second part to be connected 20 can be connected to the same side of the main body portion 200. For example, multiple first channel portions 210 are spaced apart along the X-axis extension direction.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, multiple third channel portions 230 are provided, and these multiple third channel portions 230 are spaced apart and parallel to each other. Some of the third channel portions 230 are configured to cooperate with a third fastener to connect a third type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body portion 200, while other third channel portions 230 are configured to cooperate with a seventh fastener to connect a seventh type of second part to be connected 20 to the main body portion 200. For example, the multiple third channel portions 230 are spaced apart along the X-axis extension direction, or the multiple third channel portions 230 are spaced apart along the Y-axis extension direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, both the first channel portion 210 and the second channel portion 220 are configured to cooperate with a sixth fastener to connect a sixth type of second part 20 to the main body portion 200. That is, the sixth type of second part 20 can be simultaneously connected to both the first channel portion 210 and the second channel portion 220 via the sixth fastener. This increases the number of connection points between the sixth type of second part 20 and the main body portion 200, improving connection reliability. Furthermore, since the extension directions of the first channel portion 210 and the second channel portion 220 intersect, the sixth fastener secures the sixth type of second part 20 from two different directions, further improving connection reliability, making it particularly suitable for environments subjected to bending or torsional forces.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first channel portion 210 includes at least two first channel segments 211 distributed along a first direction, and the two first channel segments 211 located at the ends along the first direction respectively form first openings 200a on opposite sides of the main body portion 200. Each first opening 200a is configured to allow insertion of a first fastener. Thus, along the first direction, the opposite sides of the main body portion 200 can be connected to the second part 20 to be connected, thereby further increasing the connection positions on the main body portion 200, improving space utilization, and reducing installation difficulty.

[0068] The two first channel segments 211 may be connected or disconnected. In other embodiments, the first channel portion 210 includes a first channel segment 211 distributed along a first direction, which forms a first opening 200a on one side of the main body portion 200.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second channel portion 220 includes at least two second channel segments distributed along a second direction, and the two second channel segments located at the ends along the second direction respectively form second openings on opposite sides of the main body portion 200. Each second opening is configured to allow the insertion of a second fastener. Thus, along the second direction, the opposite sides of the main body portion 200 can be connected to the second part 20 to be connected, thereby further increasing the connection positions on the main body portion 200, improving space utilization, and reducing installation difficulty.

[0070] The two second channel segments may be connected or disconnected. In other embodiments, the second channel portion 220 includes a second channel segment distributed along a second direction, which forms a first opening 200a on one side of the main body portion 200.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, when the first direction and the second direction are parallel to the mounting surface of the mounting portion 100, and the third direction is perpendicular to the mounting surface, the first channel portion 210 forms a first opening 200a on opposite sides of the main body portion 200 along the first direction, the second channel portion 220 forms a second opening on opposite sides of the main body portion 200 along the second direction, and the third channel portion 230 forms a first opening 200a on the side of the main body portion 200 away from the mounting portion 100 along the third direction.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments, at least two of the first channel portion 210, the second channel portion 220, and the third channel portion 230 are connected. In this way, two or all three of the first channel portion 210, the second channel portion 220, and the third channel portion 230 can transmit force to each other, further ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0073] In some embodiments, the centerline of the third channel portion 230 passes through the point where the centerline of the first channel portion 210 intersects with the centerline of the second channel portion 220, and the third channel portion 230, the first channel portion 210 and the second channel portion 220 are interconnected to facilitate integral injection molding or casting.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the main body 200 includes a plurality of second positioning structures configured to position a variety of second parts 20 to be connected, thereby facilitating installation.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the positioning structure is configured as a second positioning groove 200b, and the mounting part 100 has a mounting surface 100a that abuts against the first part to be connected 10, with the first direction and the second direction being parallel to the mounting surface 100a.

[0076] The main body 200 also includes a plurality of connecting plates 240, which are connected in sequence to form a receiving cavity. The first channel portion 210 and the second channel portion 220 are both located within the receiving cavity. The plurality of connecting plates 240 include a first connecting plate extending along a first direction and a second connecting plate extending along a second direction. The first connecting plate is provided with a portion of the second positioning grooves 200b distributed along the first direction, and the second connecting plate is provided with a portion of the second positioning grooves 200b distributed along the second direction, thereby enabling it to adapt to the positioning protrusions on the second parts 20 to be connected arranged in different directions.

[0077] The number of connecting plates 240 can be four, forming a cuboid cavity. Two of them are the first connecting plates, and the remaining two are the second connecting plates. Both ends of each connecting plate 240 are flush.

[0078] The number of second positioning grooves 200b on each connecting plate 240 is unlimited; there can be one or more. The specific shape of the second positioning groove 200b is not limited; for example, it can be a rectangular notch formed on the end of the connecting plate 240 opposite to the mounting plate.

[0079] For example, the second positioning groove 200b is provided at the end of the connecting plate 240 away from the mounting portion 100, when the connecting structure is in the position of... Figure 1 When placed in the indicated posture, the positioning protrusion on the second part to be connected 20 can be inserted into the second positioning groove 200b from above along a third direction, or it can be inserted into the second positioning groove 200b from the side along a first direction or a second direction. In this way, the first type of second part to be connected or the fourth type of second part to be connected can be connected to the side of the main body 200, and the third type of second part to be connected or the seventh type of second part to be connected can be connected to the top of the main body 200.

[0080] For example, when the connection structure is... Figure 6 When positioned as shown, the first type of second part to be connected can be attached to the side of the main body 200, and the third type and the seventh type of second part to be connected can be attached to the top of the main body 200. The first type of second part to be connected can be a mudguard 201, the third type of second part to be connected can be a radar bracket 202, and the seventh type of second part to be connected can be an air duct support 203.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the positioning structure is configured as a positioning boss 241, which is disposed on at least a portion of the connecting plate 240 and protrudes outward relative to the connecting plate 240, that is, towards... Figure 1 It protrudes in the X or Y direction. The positioning boss 241 can further position various second parts 20 to be connected.

[0082] The positioning boss 241 is annular, and its geometric center is located on the axis of the first channel portion 210 or the second channel portion 220.

[0083] It is understood that the second part to be connected 20 has a positioning hole adapted to the positioning boss 241. The positioning hole cooperates with the positioning boss 241 to restrict the radial position of the second part to be connected 20 along the positioning boss 241, thereby realizing the rapid positioning and installation of the second part to be connected 20. The shape of the positioning boss 241 is not limited; for example, the positioning boss 241 is a circular annular protrusion. In some embodiments, the positioning boss 241 is an elliptical annular protrusion or a polygonal annular protrusion to further restrict the rotation of the second part to be connected 20 relative to the positioning boss 241.

[0084] For example, when the connection structure is... Figure 1 When positioned as shown, the second part 20 to be connected, located on the top of the main body 200, can be positioned via the second positioning groove 200b. Various second parts 20 to be connected located on the sides of the main body 200 can be positioned via the positioning boss 241, the second positioning groove 200b, or a combination of the positioning boss 241 and the second positioning groove 200b.

[0085] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the connection structure includes a plurality of connecting stiffeners 300 located within the receiving cavity.

[0086] Among these components, some connecting stiffeners 300 are used to connect the connecting plate 240 and the first channel portion 210, thereby allowing the force on the first channel portion 210 to be transmitted to the connecting plate 240. Some connecting stiffeners 300 are also used to connect the connecting plate 240 and the second channel portion 220, thereby allowing the force on the first channel portion 210 to be transmitted to the connecting plate 240. Some connecting stiffeners 300 are also used to connect the connecting plate 240 and the third channel portion 230, thereby allowing the force on the third channel portion 230 to be transmitted to the connecting plate 240. Some connecting stiffeners 300 are also used to connect two opposing connecting plates 240. This allows the two opposing connecting plates 240 to transmit force to each other, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure. Finally, some connecting stiffeners 300 are used to connect adjacent first channel portions 210, thereby allowing the two adjacent first channel portions 210 to transmit force to each other, thereby further improving the stability of the overall structure. Partial connecting stiffeners 300 are used to connect adjacent second channel portions 220, thereby enabling force transmission between two adjacent second channel portions 220 and further improving the stability of the overall structure. Partial connecting stiffeners 300 are also used to connect adjacent third channel portions 230, thereby enabling force transmission between two adjacent third channel portions 230 and further improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0087] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 100, the main body portion 200, and the connecting stiffener 300 are integrally formed. For example, they are formed by casting or injection molding to improve overall strength.

[0088] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 100 has a mounting surface 100a that abuts against the first part 10 to be connected, and a third direction is perpendicular to the mounting surface 100a. Along the third direction, the mounting portion 100 is connected to one side of the main body portion 200.

[0089] The connecting stiffeners 300 distributed between adjacent third channel portions 230 are located on the side of the third channel portion 230 away from the mounting portion 100 along the third direction, so as to facilitate injection molding or casting and reduce material costs.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the mounting portion 100 includes a plurality of first positioning grooves 100b, wherein a portion of the first positioning grooves 100b extends along a first direction and the remaining portion of the first positioning grooves 100b extends along a second direction.

[0091] It should be noted that the first part to be connected 10 includes the part body to be connected and a rib protruding from the part body to be connected. The mounting part 100 is provided with a first positioning groove 100b. The rib is inserted into the first positioning groove 100b to position the connecting structure, thereby facilitating the installation of the positioning structure.

[0092] Among them, the rib is a strip rib. Since the extension direction of the rib may be different, such as extending along the vehicle height direction or extending along the vehicle width direction, by making part of the first positioning groove 100b extend along the first direction and the remaining part of the first positioning groove 100b extend along the second direction, the ribs with the above two different extension directions can be adapted.

[0093] The mounting part 100 can be a plate structure. In some embodiments, the mounting part 100 is located on the side of the connecting plate 240 away from the receiving cavity. In this way, when the mounting part 100 is connected to the first part to be connected 10, since the mounting part 100 is located on the side of the connecting plate 240 away from the receiving cavity, its area is not limited by the receiving cavity, thereby enabling it to have a larger connection area with the first part to be connected 10, and also facilitating welding operations.

[0094] The number of mounting parts 100 is not limited. In some embodiments, two mounting parts 100 are provided, each connected to two opposite connecting plates 240, and the remaining connecting plates 240 are not connected to mounting parts 100. In this way, when two connecting structures need to be used in combination, the mounting plates of the two connecting structures will not interfere with each other.

[0095] Please refer to Figures 8-10This application also provides a vehicle, including a connection structure and a first part 10 to be connected.

[0096] The vehicle further includes a first type of second part to be connected 20 and a first fastener, wherein the first type of second part to be connected 20 is connected to the first channel portion 210 of the connecting structure via the first fastener. The vehicle also includes a second type of second part to be connected 20 and a second fastener, wherein the second type of second part to be connected 20 is connected to the second channel portion 220 of the connecting structure via the second fastener. The vehicle also includes a third type of second part to be connected 20 and a third fastener, wherein the third type of second part to be connected 20 is connected to the third channel portion 230 of the connecting structure via the third fastener.

[0097] The number of connection structures can be one.

[0098] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the number of connection structures is two or more. These multiple connection structures are arranged side-by-side.

[0099] The mounting portion 100 has a mounting surface 100a that abuts against the first part 10 to be connected, and a first direction and a second direction are parallel to the mounting surface 100a. Two mounting portions 100 are provided on the outer side of the main body 200, respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 200 along the first direction or the second direction. This allows either side of the two main body 200 without mounting portions 100 to come close together and abut against each other.

[0100] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
