For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the embodiment provides a front wheel mudguard 100 for mounting on a front fork, comprising a main cover body 110 and a mud water plate 120, the main cover body 110 has a cavity for partially covering the front wheel of the electric vehicle, the main cover body 110 comprises a top plate 111 and an arc plate 112 surrounding the outer periphery of the top plate 111, the top plate 111 is provided with a mounting gap, the mud water plate 120 is clamped in the mounting gap, and the top plate 111 and the mud water plate 120 are combined to form a front fork through hole to wrap the front fork.

[0029] When the front wheel mudguard 100 is installed on the front fork of the electric vehicle, the main cover body 110 is fixed on the corresponding position of the front fork by a conventional fixing method such as bolt connection, so that the arc plate 112 of the main cover body 110 surrounds the front wheel part and initially plays a mud blocking role. Then, the mud water plate 120 is aligned with the mounting gap of the top plate 111, and is pressed to be clamped in place. At this time, the top plate 111 and the mud water plate 120 are closely combined to form a front fork through hole, which completely wraps the front fork, realizes all-round protection of the front fork, and blocks the invasion of mud and sand. The whole installation process is simple to operate and does not require complex tools and professional skills. By designing the main cover body 110 as a structure combining the top plate 111 and the arc plate 112, the effective protection range of the front wheel is ensured, and a convenient basic structure is provided for the subsequent installation of the mud water plate 120. In addition, the mounting gap provided on the top plate 111 is used to clamp the mud water plate 120, which discards the traditional integrated structure, so that the mud water plate 120 can be installed separately, greatly simplifying the installation process. Moreover, the front fork through hole formed by the combination of the top plate 111 and the mud water plate 120 tightly wraps the front fork, compared with the traditional structure, greatly reduces the possibility of mud and sand entering the front fork, effectively protects the front fork, and maintains its good steering performance.

[0030] The front wheel mudguard 100 provided by the application is used for being mounted on a front fork and comprises a main cover body 110 and a mud water plate 120. The main cover body 110 has a cavity for partially covering an electric vehicle front wheel. The main cover body 110 comprises a top plate 111 and an arc-shaped plate 112 surrounding an outer periphery of the top plate 111. The top plate 111 is provided with a mounting gap. The mud water plate 120 is clamped at the mounting gap. The top plate 111 and the mud water plate 120 jointly form a front fork through hole for wrapping the front fork. The main cover body 110 and the mud water plate 120 are designed separately. Compared with a traditional integrated front wheel mudguard 100, when being mounted, a large number of components do not need to be disassembled integrally. Only the main cover body 110 needs to be mounted first, and then the mud water plate 120 is clamped into the mounting gap. The operation is simple and fast, the installation difficulty is significantly reduced, the installation time and labor cost are reduced, and great convenience is provided for workers in the initial assembly and subsequent maintenance and replacement of the electric vehicle. Since the front fork through hole formed by the top plate 111 and the mud water plate 120 can tightly wrap the front fork, compared with the large gap between the traditional front wheel mudguard 100 and the front fork, the channel of the mud and sand into the front fork is greatly reduced, the mud and sand is effectively prevented from entering the inside of the front fork, the adverse effects of the mud and sand on the steering effect of the front fork are avoided, the long-term stable steering performance of the front fork is ensured, the service life of the front fork is prolonged, and the driving safety and the control stability of the electric vehicle are improved.

[0031] In an embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the mud water plate 120 comprises a plate body 121 and a plurality of clamping columns 122 provided on one side of the plate body 121. The top plate 111 is provided with clamping holes 1111 corresponding to the clamping columns 122.

[0032] Compared with a simple clamping or lapping form, the one-to-one correspondence between the clamping columns 122 and the clamping holes 1111 ensures that the mud water plate 120 can quickly find the accurate position when being mounted to the mounting gap of the top plate 111, avoids installation deviation, ensures that the front fork through hole formed by the mud water plate 120 and the top plate 111 is regular in shape, tightly fits the front fork, and effectively blocks the mud and sand. The plurality of clamping columns 122 are uniformly distributed on one side of the plate body 121 and tightly match the clamping holes 1111 on the top plate 111. In the driving process of the electric vehicle, even if complex road conditions such as bumps and vibrations are encountered, the mud water plate 120 is not easy to loosen and shift, the stable protection of the front fork is maintained, the risk of mud and sand leakage caused by the shaking of the mud water plate 120 is reduced, and the front fork is kept in a good working state for a long time.

[0033] In an embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 andFigure 4 As shown, the clamping column 122 includes two oppositely arranged clamping arms 1221 with a gap between the two clamping arms 1221.

[0034] In assembly, the clamping arms 1221 can be elastically deformed by the gap to facilitate insertion into the clamping hole 1111 of the top plate 111, and after insertion, the clamping arms 1221 can restore their original shape by their own elasticity to clamp the edge of the clamping hole 1111.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the clamping arm 1221 includes a connecting segment 1221a and a limiting segment 1221b at the end of the connecting segment 1221a, and the limiting segment 1221b is used to abut against the bottom surface of the top plate 111.

[0036] Specifically, based on the structure of the clamping arm 1221, the connecting segment 1221a and the limiting segment 1221b are further subdivided, the connecting segment 1221a is responsible for connecting the plate body 121 of the mudguard 120 and the limiting segment 1221b, and the limiting segment 1221b is in close contact with the bottom surface of the top plate 111 after the clamping column 122 is inserted into the clamping hole 1111, forming a restriction on the upward displacement of the mudguard 120.

[0037] The design of the limiting segment 1221b provides additional protection against disengagement for the mudguard 120, even in the case of extreme vibration or external pulling, it can prevent the mudguard 120 from disengaging upwardly from the clamping hole 1111, ensuring the integrity of the connection between the mudguard 120 and the top plate 111, maintaining the wrapping state of the front fork through-hole to the front fork, and continuously and effectively blocking mud and sand from entering the front fork.

[0038] The connecting segment 1221a uniformly transmits external forces received by the mudguard 120 to the limiting segment 1221b, and then the limiting segment 1221b disperses the external forces to the bottom surface of the top plate 111, avoiding local stress concentration that can cause component damage, prolonging the service life of the clamping structure, ensuring long-term stable operation of the mudguard 120, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement, and reducing the use cost.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , one side of the plate body 121 extends a abutting plate 123, which extends on the same side as the clamping column 122, and the abutting plate 123 is used to abut against the front fork.

[0040] Specifically, the abutting plate 123 is used to abut against the front fork, further reducing the possibility of mud and sand entering the front fork, thereby better protecting the front fork.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the top plate 111 is provided with a convex rib 1114, and the plate body 121 is provided with a positioning groove 124 matched with the convex rib 1114, and the positioning groove 124 is located outside the abutting plate 123.

[0042] The convex rib 1114 is arranged on the surface of the top plate 111, and the positioning groove 124 is correspondingly arranged on the plate body 121 and located outside the abutting plate 123, and the convex rib 1114 is embedded in the positioning groove 124 during installation. The cooperation of the convex rib 1114 and the positioning groove 124 provides an additional positioning reference for the installation of the mud guard 120. On the basis of the preliminary positioning of the clamping column 122 and the clamping hole 1111, the structure ensures that the mud guard 120 does not rotate, deviate or displace in the plane, guarantees the tightness of the connection between the mud guard 120 and the top plate 111, optimizes the fitting precision of the front fork through hole to the front fork, and improves the anti-mud effect.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the side wall of the convex rib 1114 is provided with a clamping convex 1114a, and the side wall of the positioning groove 124 is provided with a clamping groove 1241 matched with the clamping convex 1114a.

[0044] On the basis of the cooperation of the convex rib 1114 and the positioning groove 124, the design is refined to that the side wall of the convex rib 1114 has the clamping convex 1114a, and the side wall of the positioning groove 124 correspondingly has the clamping groove 1241, and the clamping convex 1114a is clamped into the clamping groove 1241 during installation.

[0045] The cooperation of the clamping convex 1114a and the clamping groove 1241 forms a structure similar to a mortise and tenon, which further locks the relative position of the convex rib 1114 and the positioning groove 124, prevents their separation under extreme working conditions such as severe vibration and collision, guarantees the stability of the connection between the mud guard 120 and the top plate 111, and ensures that the mud guard system can still reliably protect the front fork in harsh environments.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the main cover body 110 is provided with a connecting hole 1112, and the main cover body 110 and the front fork connecting plate are connected by a fastener passing through the connecting hole 1112.

[0047] On the basis of the front fork through-hole wrapping the front fork, the top plate 111 is connected with the front fork connecting plate through the connecting hole 1112 and the fastener, so that the front wheel mudguard 100 and the front fork become a more compact whole, reduce the shaking and displacement of the mudguard during driving, enhance the ability to resist external force impact, and guarantee long-term stable mudproof effect.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the top plate 111 is provided with an oil pipe limiting groove 1113 in communication with the notch.

[0049] The oil pipe limiting groove 1113 in communication with the mounting notch is added to the structure of the top plate 111, which is used to place and fix the disc brake oil pipe or drum brake wire pipe, etc., to ensure that the wire pipe and oil pipe are in a stable position after installation and do not shake randomly. Placing the wire pipe and oil pipe in the limiting groove can avoid abrasion and rupture caused by bumping, vibration, friction and collision with surrounding parts during the driving of the electric vehicle, guarantee the normal operation of the brake system, and improve the driving safety. Optimizing the wiring aesthetics: the oil pipe limiting groove 1113 provides a regular layout path for the wire pipe and oil pipe, allowing them to be neatly arranged and integrated with the mudguard, improving the overall appearance of the vehicle, meeting the modern consumer's demand for refined appearance of electric vehicles, and enhancing the product's market competitiveness.

[0050] The embodiment of the present application also discloses an electric vehicle, which comprises a vehicle frame and the front wheel mudguard 100 in the aforementioned embodiment. The electric vehicle contains the same structure and beneficial effects as the front wheel mudguard 100 in the aforementioned embodiment. The structure and beneficial effects of the front wheel mudguard 100 have been described in detail in the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0051] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
