[0026] The fender mounting bracket consists of a front mounting bracket 2, a middle mounting bracket 1, and a rear mounting bracket 3. These three brackets connect with the front part 4 of the engine compartment side reinforcing beam and the fender, providing mounting points for the headlights and the front bumper mounting bracket. This creates a three-dimensional spatial structure on both sides of the front of the engine compartment, making it more stable. The middle mounting bracket 1 has X, Y, and Z-axis mounting surfaces 13, offering multi-directional adjustability during assembly. This ensures the matching degree of the fender, front bumper, and headlights, improving the matching and stability of the clearances between the fenders, front bumper, and headlights. The X-axis mounting surface 11 is the mounting surface of the middle mounting bracket 1 itself on the front mounting bracket 2 and the rear mounting bracket 3, forming an X-axis connection between them. The Y-axis mounting surface 12 forms a Y-axis connection with the upper front bumper mounting bracket 5, and the Z-axis mounting surface 13 forms a Z-axis connection with the lower front bumper mounting bracket 6. The front mounting bracket 2 and the rear mounting bracket 3 are connected to the front part 4 of the engine compartment side reinforcing beam in the Y direction. During assembly, they can be adjusted to meet the adjustment of the middle mounting bracket 1 in the X and Z directions, thereby matching the installation of the fender and improving the convenience of the assembly process.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the middle mounting bracket 1 has X-direction mounting surfaces 11 at both ends. The X-direction mounting surfaces 11 at both ends of the middle mounting bracket 1 are bolted to the front mounting bracket 2 and the middle mounting bracket 1, respectively. The X-direction mounting surfaces 11 are provided with mounting through holes 111, which are arranged in pairs. The front mounting bracket 2 is located in front of the middle mounting bracket 1, providing front support for the middle mounting bracket 1. The rear mounting bracket 3 is located in rear of the middle mounting bracket 1, providing rear support for the middle mounting bracket 1.

It is provided with one headlight positioning notch 121, one headlight mounting hole 122, two front bumper lower bracket positioning holes 123, three front bumper lower bracket mounting holes 124, and one middle mounting bracket 1 auxiliary positioning hole, thereby meeting the installation and positioning requirements of the headlight and the front bumper lower bracket.

[0029] like Figure 2As shown, the top of the center mounting bracket 1 is provided with a Z-direction mounting surface 13, which is perpendicular to the Y-direction mounting surface 12. The Z-direction mounting surface 13 is provided with fender mounting holes 131, front bumper upper bracket mounting holes 132, and front bumper upper bracket positioning holes 133. The Z-direction mounting surface 13 is the mating surface between the center mounting bracket 1 and the fender. It is provided with two fender mounting holes 131, three front bumper bracket mounting holes, and two front bumper bracket positioning through holes. The fender mounting holes 131 are used to install and connect the fender and the vehicle body. The front bumper bracket mounting holes and positioning holes are used for the installation and positioning of the front bumper upper bracket. After the fender is fixed, its Z-direction connection point is located between the Z-direction mounting surface 13 and the front bumper upper mounting bracket 5.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, both the X-axis mounting surface 11 and the Z-axis mounting surface 13 are formed by bending the central mounting bracket 1. The Y-axis mounting surface 12 is located on the body of the central mounting bracket 1. The X-axis and Z-axis mounting surfaces 13 are formed by bending the body of the central mounting bracket 1, resulting in better overall integrity, higher strength, and less susceptibility to deformation. During installation, the central mounting bracket 1 functions as a single unit, meeting the requirements of a fewer-parts development design and improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the mounting bracket 1 is provided with a longitudinal reinforcing rib 112, which extends to the X-direction mounting surface 11. A vertical reinforcing rib 126 is provided on the Y-direction mounting surface 12, and a horizontal reinforcing rib 134 is provided on the Z-direction mounting surface 13. The vertical reinforcing rib 126 and the horizontal reinforcing rib 134 extend to [the specified locations].
