[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fender installation equipment, and in particular to a mounting bracket for the decorative panel of a mini-truck fender. Background Technology
[0002] In the compact area of the fender mounting space of the truck body, the traditional bracket structure is L-shaped. The L-shaped bracket cannot provide a mounting point in the Y direction (in the vehicle coordinate system). Similar models generally do not integrate the fender mounting point and the trim mounting point on one bracket, but design two separate mounting points, which requires more space.
[0003] For example, CN212637687U, published on March 2, 2021, discloses a fender bracket, fender assembly, and automobile, relating to the field of automotive parts technology. This fender bracket is mounted on the side beam of an automobile and is L-shaped. The bracket includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate connected by a bend. The bend has an open crushing structure. The first connecting plate connects to the side of the side beam, and the horizontal plane of the second connecting plate is higher than the upper surface of the side beam and extends towards the interior of the engine compartment. A crushing space is formed between the lower end face of the second connecting plate and the upper end face of the side beam. The edge of the hood overlaps the second connecting plate. When the hood is impacted, the second connecting plate collapses into the crushing space. However, the bracket disclosed above does not allow for convenient installation of the fender and trim panels on the vehicle body, resulting in low practicality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a more practical mounting bracket for the fender trim panel of a minivan. This invention achieves stable installation of the fender and trim panel through fender mounting holes and trim panel mounting holes on a Z-shaped mounting plate. The Z-shaped mounting plate provides mounting points in the Y direction, making the installation of the fender and trim panel convenient, quick, and more practical.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a fender decorative panel mounting bracket for a mini truck, comprising a fender, a decorative panel and a mounting plate, wherein the mounting plate is welded to the vehicle body, the mounting plate has a Z-shaped cross section, the mounting plate is provided with fender mounting holes for connecting to the fender, and the mounting plate is provided with mounting through holes for cooperating with the decorative panel.
[0006] The mounting plate is provided with a nut with projection welding, which is coaxial with the mounting hole of the fender.
[0007] The decorative panel is provided with a buckle, and the fender is provided with a connection hole for engaging with the buckle. The buckle passes through the installation hole.
[0008] The buckle surface is provided with a limiting protrusion.
[0009] The projection weld nut is welded to the mounting plate.
[0010] The mounting plate includes a first horizontal plate, a connecting plate, and a second horizontal plate. The two ends of the connecting plate are connected to the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate, respectively. The fender mounting holes and mounting through holes are provided on the first horizontal plate. The first horizontal plate is in contact with the fender surface, and the second horizontal plate is in contact with the vehicle body.
[0011] The connection between the connecting plate and the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate is provided with a reinforcing recess, and the edge of the second horizontal plate is provided with a reinforcing recess.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] The mounting plate is welded to the vehicle body, and bolts are passed through the fender mounting holes to connect the mounting plate and the fender. The mounting structure of the decorative panel passes through the mounting holes on the mounting plate to achieve a stable connection between the decorative panel, the fender and the mounting plate. The Z-shaped mounting plate provides mounting points for the fender and the decorative panel in the Y direction on the vehicle body, thereby achieving a stable installation of the fender and the decorative panel.
[0014] By placing the fender mounting holes and mounting through holes on the first horizontal plate of the mounting plate, the mounting points of the fenders are integrated together, thereby reducing the number of parts required for the installation of the decorative panels, reducing development costs, making the connection between the decorative panels, fenders and mounting plates more compact, and reducing the footprint of the mounting plate, thus improving practicality.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0020] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, the fender trim panel mounting bracket for a mini-truck includes a fender 100, a trim panel 200, and a mounting plate 1. The mounting plate 1 is welded to the vehicle body. The mounting plate 1 has a Z-shaped cross-section and is provided with fender mounting holes 2 that connect to the fender 100. The mounting plate 1 is also provided with mounting through holes 3 that cooperate with the trim panel 200. The mounting through holes 3 facilitate the passage of the mounting structure on the trim panel 200, thereby ensuring a stable connection between the mounting plate 1, the fender 100, and the trim panel 200. Specifically, the Y-direction is the Y-direction in the vehicle coordinate system. In this embodiment, the fender mounting holes 2 and the mounting through holes 3 are located on the same surface of the mounting plate 1, and the mounting plate 1 is connected to the vehicle body by spot welding, thus ensuring a stable connection between the fender 100 and the trim panel 200 on the vehicle body.
[0022] In use, the mounting plate 1 is welded to the vehicle body, and bolts are passed through the fender mounting holes 2 to connect the mounting plate 1 to the fender 100. The mounting structure of the decorative panel 200 passes through the mounting holes 3 on the mounting plate 1 to achieve a stable connection between the decorative panel 200, the fender 100 and the mounting plate 1. The Z-shaped mounting plate 1 provides mounting points for the fender 100 and the decorative panel 200 in the Y direction on the vehicle body, thereby achieving a stable installation of the fender 100 and the decorative panel 200.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 Mounting plate 1 is provided with a projection weld nut 6 coaxial with the fender mounting hole 2. The bolt passes through the fender 100 and is threadedly engaged with the projection weld nut 6 on mounting plate 1, thereby realizing the connection between mounting plate 1 and fender 100. After the bolt is connected with the projection weld nut 6, the bolt passes through the fender mounting hole 2, thus achieving a stable connection between the bolt and mounting plate 1.
[0024] The decorative panel 200 is provided with a buckle 5, and the fender 100 is provided with a connecting hole 7 for engaging with the buckle 5. The buckle 5 passes through the mounting hole 3 and engages with each other through the connecting hole 7, thereby achieving a stable connection between the fender 100 and the decorative panel 200. When the buckle 5 engages with the connecting hole 7, one end of the buckle 5 passes through the mounting hole 3, thereby achieving a stable installation of the decorative panel 200. Specifically, the buckle 5 and the decorative panel 200 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the buckle 5 includes a column and four arc-shaped plates symmetrically distributed on the column. The four arc-shaped plates are combined into a cylindrical shape, and a chamfer is provided at the end of the arc-shaped plates, thereby facilitating the engagement of the buckle 5 with the mounting plate 1.
[0025] The buckle 5 has a limiting protrusion 501 on its surface. When the buckle 5 moves to contact the connecting hole 7, the limiting protrusion 501 deforms until it passes through the mounting hole 3. At this time, the limiting protrusion 501 returns to its original position. Under the action of the limiting protrusion 501, the buckle 5 is not easy to move off the fender 100 after connection, thus ensuring a stable connection between the decorative panel 200 and the fender 100.
[0026] The projection weld nut 6 is welded to the mounting plate 1, thereby achieving a stable connection between the bolt and the mounting plate 1, and thus ensuring a stable connection between the fender 100 and the mounting plate 1.
[0027] Reference Figure 1 and 3 The mounting plate 1 includes a first horizontal plate 101, a connecting plate 102, and a second horizontal plate 103. Both ends of the connecting plate 102 are connected to the first horizontal plate 101 and the second horizontal plate 103, respectively. Fender mounting holes 2 and mounting through holes 3 are provided on the first horizontal plate 101. The second horizontal plate 103 is flush with the vehicle body surface. The mounting plate 1, composed of the first horizontal plate 101, connecting plate 102, and second horizontal plate 103, forms a Z-shape, thereby ensuring that the first horizontal plate 101 of the mounting plate 1 is in contact with the fender 100 and the trim panel. After connection, the second horizontal plate 103 fits stably against the vehicle body, thus ensuring a stable connection between the mounting plate 1, fender 100, and trim plate 200. By setting the fender mounting holes 2 and mounting through holes 3 on the first horizontal plate 101, the mounting points of the fenders are integrated together, thereby reducing the number of parts required for trim plate installation, reducing development costs, and making the connection between trim plate 200, fender 100, and mounting plate 1 more compact. The mounting plate 1 occupies less space and is more practical.
[0028] The connection between the connecting plate 102 and the first horizontal plate 101 and the second horizontal plate 103 is provided with a reinforcing recess 4. The edge of the second horizontal plate 103 is also provided with a reinforcing recess 4. The reinforcement recess 4 increases the strength of the connection between the connecting plate 102 and the first horizontal plate 101 and the second horizontal plate 103, thereby making the entire mounting plate 1 stronger and increasing the stability of the fender 100 and the decorative plate 200 on the vehicle body. The reinforcement recess 4 on both sides of the second horizontal plate 103 increases the strength of the second horizontal plate 103, thereby ensuring stable contact between the second horizontal plate 103 and the vehicle body, and thus ensuring stable contact between the mounting plate 1 and the fender 100.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
