TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of vehicles, in particular to a fender support and a vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] In a vehicle, a fender support is an important component of the chassis of the vehicle. The fender is fixed to the fender support to shield mud, stones and other debris during the driving process of the vehicle, so as to avoid damage to the bottom of the vehicle body. At present, the fender support is usually made by welding multiple parts, and the manufacturing process is relatively complicated and the production efficiency is low. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] The present application provides a fender support and a vehicle with simple manufacturing process and high production efficiency to solve the related technical problems.
[0004] The present application provides a fender support, comprising: an integrally formed fender mounting section and a frame connecting section; the frame connecting section is protruded from the side of the fender mounting section towards the direction away from the fender mounting section, and forms an avoiding space with the fender mounting section; the frame connecting section is protruded from the upper end of the side of the fender mounting section, and the avoiding space is formed below the frame connecting section.
[0005] Since the fender mounting section and the frame connecting section are integrally formed, the number of parts of the fender support during the manufacturing process is reduced, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the production efficiency is improved. At the same time, since the avoiding space is formed between the frame connecting section and the fender mounting section, the fender support has a certain part avoiding ability. The avoiding space is formed below the frame connecting section, so that the avoiding space can be formed integrally and has a larger volume, thereby improving the part avoiding ability of the fender support.
[0006] Further, the fender mounting section comprises oppositely arranged upper and lower rod members, first and second side rods connecting the upper and lower rod members, and a reinforcing rod connecting the first and second side rods; the frame connecting section is formed by extending from the first side rod towards the direction away from the second side rod. The fender mounting section is in the shape of a square box, so that it has high structural strength. At the same time, by arranging the reinforcing rod, the structural strength of the fender mounting section is further improved, so that the overall strength of the fender support is improved.
[0007] Further, at least one of the upper rod member, the lower rod member and the reinforcing rod is in an arc shape. The arc-shaped rod structure is beneficial to the dispersion of internal stress and reduces stress concentration, thereby further improving the overall structural strength of the fender support.
[0008] Further, the upper rod member comprises a base part and a transition part, the base part extends from the second side rod towards the first side rod, the transition part extends upwards along an arc from the end of the base part to the first side rod; the frame connecting section comprises an upper plate member, the upper plate member is formed from the connection between the first side rod and the transition part, the base part is provided with a first air filter mounting position, and the upper plate member is provided with a second air filter mounting position.
[0009] Since the transition part extends upwards from the base part and the upper plate member is formed from the connection between the first side rod and the transition part, the second air filter mounting position is higher than the first air filter mounting position, which reduces the height of the fender mounting section and thus reduces the weight of the fender support while ensuring normal installation of the air cleaner assembly.
[0010] Further, the fender mounting section is provided with a heat shield, and the heat shield connects the upper rod member and the second side rod. By providing the heat shield, the fender support can shield the hot air from the vehicle exhaust, preventing the hot air from damaging the fender.
[0011] Further, the second side rod is provided with a bracket fixing part on the side away from the first side rod. Since the bracket fixing part is provided on the side of the second side rod away from the first side rod and the bracket fixing part is located on the outside of the fender support, the installer can easily assemble the fender support, improving the assembly efficiency.
[0012] Further, the frame connecting section comprises an upper plate member and a lower plate member formed from the fender mounting section, and a frame connecting plate connecting one end of the upper plate member and the lower plate member away from the fender mounting section. The frame connecting section is in the shape of a frame, which has high strength and thus improves the overall stability of the fender support.
[0013] Further, the frame connecting section further comprises a power switch integrated part, and the power switch integrated part connects the middle part of the upper plate member and the lower plate member. By providing the power switch integrated part, the power switch can be installed on the fender support, improving the integration of the fender support.
[0014] Further, the fender mounting section and / or the frame connecting section is provided with a wire harness integrated part. By providing the wire harness integrated part, the wire harness can be installed on the fender support, further improving the integration of the fender support.
[0015] Further, in the protruding direction of the frame connecting section, the thickness of the fender support gradually increases. On the one hand, the part with larger thickness can provide better connection strength, improving the installation stability of the fender support. On the other hand, since there is a part with smaller thickness, the amount of material is reduced, and the weight of the fender support is reduced.
[0016] The application also provides a vehicle comprising the mudguard support described above. By improving the production efficiency of the mudguard support, the overall manufacturing efficiency of the vehicle is accelerated. At the same time, since the mudguard support has a certain part avoidance capability, the space utilization of the vehicle is improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or, modes of implementation) of the present application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, identical numbers in different drawings represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated.
[0026] If the present application embodiments involve directional indications or positional relationships (for example, up, down, left, right, front, back, inner, outer, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationship, movement, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the drawings); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. in the present application embodiments are only used for convenience of description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0027] At present, mudguard supports are generally made by welding multiple components, and the manufacturing process is relatively complicated and the production efficiency is relatively low. The present application provides a mudguard support to solve the related technical problems.
[0028] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a mudguard support, which includes a mudguard mounting section 10 and a frame connecting section 20. The mudguard mounting section 10 and the frame connecting section 20 are integrally formed. The frame connecting section 20 protrudes from the side of the mudguard mounting section 10 towards a direction away from the mudguard mounting section 10. The frame connecting section 20 forms an avoidance space 200 with the mudguard mounting section 10.
[0029] Since the mudguard mounting section 10 and the frame connecting section 20 are integrally formed, the number of components of the mudguard support during the manufacturing process is reduced, the manufacturing process is simplified, and the production efficiency is improved. In addition, the overall rigidity and stability of the mudguard support are improved, and the weight is reduced. Specifically, the mudguard support can be integrally formed by a casting process. The material of the mudguard support can be aluminum, which further reduces the weight while ensuring strength.
[0030] At the same time, since the avoidance space 200 is formed between the frame connecting section 20 and the mudguard mounting section 10, the mudguard support has a certain component avoidance capability. The frame connecting section 20 can protrude from the upper end of the side of the mudguard mounting section 10, and the avoidance space 200 is formed below the frame connecting section 20. Figure 1 The l direction shown in the middle of the figure is the up-down direction of the mudguard support. The avoidance space 200 is formed integrally and has a large volume, improving the component avoidance capability of the mudguard support.
[0031] The fender mounting section 10 comprises an upper bar 11, a lower bar 12, a first side bar 13, a second side bar 14, a reinforcing bar 15, and a heat shield 16. The upper bar 11 is arranged opposite to the lower bar 12. The first side bar 13 and the second side bar 14 connect the upper bar 11 and the lower bar 12. The reinforcing bar 15 connects the first side bar 13 and the second side bar 14. The frame connecting section 20 extends from the first side bar 13 towards a direction away from the second side bar 14.
[0032] The fender mounting section 10 is in a square shape, which has a high structural strength. At the same time, by arranging the reinforcing bar 15, the structural strength of the fender mounting section 10 is further improved, so that the overall strength of the fender support is improved.
[0033] The fender mounting section 10 is provided with fender mounting holes 17. The number of the fender mounting holes 17 is four, which are respectively arranged at the four corners of the fender mounting section 10, so as to improve the fixing strength of the fender. The fender can be fixed to the fender mounting holes 17 by means of bolt connection or the like.
[0034] At least one of the upper bar 11, the lower bar 12, and the reinforcing bar 15 is in an arc shape. The arc-shaped bar structure is beneficial to the dispersion of internal stress and the reduction of stress concentration, and further improves the overall structural strength of the fender support. For each of the upper bar 11, the lower bar 12, and the reinforcing bar 15, it can be in an overall arc shape, or can be partially in a straight line shape and partially in an arc shape.
[0035] The heat shield 16 connects the upper bar 11 and the second side bar 14. The heat shield 16 is arranged at the inner side of the square fender mounting section 10. By arranging the heat shield 16, the fender support can shield the hot wind of the exhaust port of the vehicle, so as to avoid damage of the fender by the hot wind.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 together, the upper bar 11 comprises a base portion 111 and a transition portion 112. The base portion 111 extends from the second side bar 14 towards the first side bar 13, and the transition portion 112 extends from the end of the base portion 111 to the first side bar 13 along an arc shape. The upper bar 11 is provided with a first air filter mounting position 113 for mounting the air filter assembly 60.
[0037] The second side bar 14 is provided with a bracket fixing portion 140 on the side away from the first side bar 13. The bracket fixing portion 140 is used for fixing the fender support. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the bracket fixing portion 140 is in a boss structure and is provided with a corresponding connecting hole. The bracket fixing portion 140 can be screwed to the side skirt 40 of the vehicle. The side skirt 40 is provided with a radar assembly 50 on the side away from the fender support.
[0038] In the embodiment shown inFigure 4 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the radar assembly 50 can be directly mounted to the bracket fixing part 140. The radar assembly 50 includes a radar bracket 51, a radar 52, and a wiring harness 53. The radar bracket 51 is connected to the bracket fixing part 140. The radar 52 is mounted to the side of the radar bracket 51 opposite to the mudguard bracket, and the wiring harness 53 passes through the radar bracket 51. The radar 52 can be a millimeter-wave radar or the like.
[0039] Installers can choose to connect the bracket fixing part 140 to the side skirt 40 or the radar bracket 51 according to the specific needs of the vehicle, which further improves the integration level of the mudguard bracket.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing rod 15 includes a first part 151, a second part 152, a third part 153, and a fourth part 154. The first part 151 connects the first side rod 13 and the second side rod 14. The second part 152 connects the first side rod 13 and the first part 151. The third part 153 connects the first side rod 13 and the first part 151. One end of the fourth part 154 is connected to the third part 153, and the other end is connected to the connection between the first part 151 and the first side rod 13. The reinforcing rods 15 are staggered, providing high structural strength.
[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame connecting section 20 includes an upper plate 21, a lower plate 22, a frame connecting plate 23, and a power switch integration unit 24. The upper plate 21 and lower plate 22 extend from the fender mounting section 10. The frame connecting plate 23 connects the ends of the upper plate 21 and lower plate 22 away from the fender mounting section 10. The frame connecting section 20 is frame-shaped, giving it high strength and thus improving the overall stability of the fender bracket.
[0042] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 As shown, the upper plate 21 extends from the connection between the first side rod 13 and the transition portion 112. The upper plate 21 is provided with a second air filter mounting position 210, which, together with the first air filter mounting position 113 of the upper rod 11, is used to install the air filter assembly 60.
[0043] Since the transition portion 112 extends upward from the base portion 111 and the upper plate 21 extends from the connection between the first side rod 13 and the transition portion 112, the second air filter mounting position 210 is higher than the first air filter mounting position 113. While ensuring the normal installation of the air filter assembly 60, the height of the mudguard mounting section 10 is reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the mudguard bracket.
[0044] The first air filter mounting position 113 and the second air filter mounting position 210 can be boss structures with connecting holes. The air filter assembly 60 comprises a first bracket 61, a second bracket 62 and an air filter 63. The bottom of the first bracket 61 can be fixed to the first air filter mounting position 113 by bolt connection. The top of the first bracket 61 is flush with the second air filter mounting position 210, forming a mounting plane, and the bottom of the second bracket 62 is fixed to the mounting plane. The air filter 63 can be fixed to the second bracket 62 by bolt connection.
[0045] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The frame connecting plate 23 is provided with a plurality of frame connecting holes 231 for connecting with the frame of the vehicle. In order to reduce the weight of the mudguard support, a plurality of weight reduction holes 232 are provided on the frame connecting plate 23, so that the frame connecting plate 23 is provided in a hollow manner.
[0046] The power switch integrated part 24 is connected to the middle part of the upper plate member 21 and the lower plate member 22. By providing the power switch integrated part 24, the integration level of the mudguard support is improved. Specifically, the power switch integrated part 24 can be in the form of a plate and provided with an integrated hole 241. In order to improve the structural strength, the two ends of the power switch integrated part 24 can be provided with reinforcing plates 242.
[0047] The frame connecting section 20 is provided with a first reinforcing rib 25 and a second reinforcing rib 26 to improve the structural strength. The first reinforcing rib 25 comprises a first rib plate 251 and a second rib plate 252. The first rib plate 251 is horizontally arranged, and its two ends are connected to the frame connecting plate 23 and the reinforcing plate 242 respectively. The second rib plate 252 connects the upper plate member 21 and the lower plate member 22. The number of the second rib plate 252 is two, and it is arranged in the form of an eight-character. The second reinforcing rib 26 connects the first side rod 13 and the reinforcing plate 242.
[0048] At least one of the mudguard mounting section 10 and the frame connecting section 20 is provided with a wire harness integrated part 30. By providing the wire harness integrated part 30, the installation of the wire harness assembly on the mudguard support is realized, and the integration level of the mudguard support is further improved. Specifically, as shown in Figure 5 The wire harness integrated part 30 can comprise a first wire harness integrated hole 31 and a second wire harness integrated hole 32. The first wire harness integrated hole 31 is arranged on the first part 151 of the reinforcing rod 15. The second wire harness integrated hole 32 is arranged on the lower plate member 22.
[0049] The mudguard support of the present application can simultaneously integrate the air filter assembly 60, the wire harness assembly and the power switch, improve the space utilization, reduce the number of mounting supports, reduce the quality, and improve the light weight and integration level of the mudguard support.
[0050] As shown in Figure 2As shown, the application also provides a vehicle comprising the mudguard 70 and the above-mentioned mudguard support. By improving the production efficiency of the mudguard support, the overall production efficiency of the vehicle is improved. At the same time, since the mudguard support has a certain part avoidance capability, the space utilization of the vehicle is improved. The vehicle of the application can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle or a fuel vehicle, and the specific type is not limited.
[0051] It should be noted that the technical solutions or technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined or supplemented with each other without conflict. The scope of protection of the application is not limited to the precise structure described in the above embodiments and shown in the drawings; any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the application shall be included in the scope of protection of the application.
