AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the existing technology, the small body size and limited layout space of the MINI truck model result in the compression of the fender structure space, the shallow fender flange depth at the hood mating point, the difficulty in guaranteeing the stamping quality, and the low material utilization rate.

Method used

The design employs a fender structure, dividing the mounting plate into a middle plate and side plates, which are connected by connecting plates to form a U-shaped step pattern. Combined with curved plates and transition plates, the connection between the mounting plate and the curved plate is rounded, which enhances the overall strength and reduces springback.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicle shell, specifically, the utility model relates to a fender structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] The fender is the body outer plate covering the wheel, and is divided into front fender and rear fender according to the installation position, the front fender is installed at the front wheel, and the maximum limit space when the front wheel rotates and jumps must be ensured.

[0003] In a public specification with the patent number 200710079358.8 and the public date of March 11, 2009, a fender structure with an aesthetic appearance is disclosed, which has a parting line at a higher position between the fender and the front pillar. In the fender structure, the fender formed by resin is arranged above the front tire of the vehicle, and forms an outer plate on one side of the front part. A cylindrical inner hem part is formed in the fender, and the cylindrical inner hem part continuously covers the outer side face along the vehicle width direction, the inclined front face, and the inner side face along the vehicle width direction, all of which are located in the lower part of the front pillar.

[0004] Since the stamping side shaping first contacts the fender mounting surface, the surface has ups and downs, which leads to an ideal material contact sequence, but when the vertical flanging is performed in the second half, the entire appearance R angle needs to be simultaneously turned down, so a first step is designed on the fender flange, which can ensure the consistency of the appearance R angle. The cover shape matched with the fender is arc-shaped, while the fender mounting surface is often flat, and often has a reinforcing or rebound-reducing rib, which will cause the material contact sequence to be not ideal and the force to be uneven when the flange is shaped, resulting in the R angle of the local area on the fender arc-shaped surface being sharp and the edge line being distorted, and the visual appearance R angle being inconsistent.

[0005] In the prior art, due to the MINI truck type, the overall vehicle size is small, and the layout space is limited, so that the fender structure space is compressed, the fender flange depth at the cover matching position is too shallow (the height difference of the R angle of the water channel from the fender modeling A face is only 16 mm, and the flange height is only 8 mm), the conventional design idea cannot be realized, and the stamping forming quality is difficult to guarantee. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0006] The utility model aims at providing a fender structure which is convenient to produce.

[0007] In order to realize the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the technical scheme that a fender structure, which comprises a mounting plate and an arc-shaped plate, a transition plate is arranged between the arc-shaped plate and the mounting plate, and the cross section of the mounting plate is in the shape of a Chinese character "K".

[0008] The mounting plate is divided into a middle plate and side plates arranged on both sides of the middle plate, and the middle plate and the side plates are arranged on the same side of the transition plate.

[0009] The connecting plate is inclined relative to the intermediate plate and the side plate.

[0010] The side plate is divided into a small plate and a large plate, and the small plate and the large plate are arranged at two ends of the intermediate plate.

[0011] The side plate and the intermediate plate are distributed along the side edge of the transition plate.

[0012] The connecting part of the transition plate and the arc-shaped plate is a round corner.

[0013] The bending direction of the transition plate is the same as the bending direction of the arc-shaped plate.

[0014] The technical effect of the utility model is: through setting the fender into the stepped style of high in the middle and low at two ends, the rebound amount of the straight plate surface to the arc-shaped surface is reduced while the straight plate surface is ensured to touch the material, which is more beneficial to processing, and the required flanging width is shortened, and the material utilization rate is effectively improved.
