Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts, and more particularly to a front wheel arch assembly and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, the front wheel arch is often directly connected to the front bulkhead, resulting in a weak connection between the two. In the event of a collision, the impact force is transferred from the wheel arch to the bulkhead, and the shock absorber can easily intrude into the bulkhead, compromising the driver's safety space and threatening their personal safety. Furthermore, in gasoline and hybrid vehicles, the weak connection between the wheel arch and the bulkhead also leads to reduced NVH performance, negatively impacting customer perception. Utility Model Content

The reinforcing plate is disposed on the first connecting plate, and the front end of the reinforcing plate is located at the connection end between the front wheel arch and the first connecting plate, and the rear end of the reinforcing plate is located at the connection end of the first connecting plate, the front bulkhead, and the front longitudinal beam.

[0005] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate includes a front connecting plate, a rear connecting plate, and a middle connecting plate. The front connecting plate is located at the connection end between the front wheel arch and the first connecting plate. The rear connecting plate is located at the connection end between the first connecting plate, the front bulkhead, and the front longitudinal beam. The middle connecting plate is located on the first connecting plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the front end of the first connecting plate overlaps the rear end of the front wheel arch, the front connecting plate overlaps the front end of the first connecting plate, the front longitudinal beam overlaps the front bulkhead, the rear end of the first connecting plate overlaps the front longitudinal beam, and the rear connecting plate overlaps the rear end of the first connecting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate has flanges on both the upper and lower sides, and the flanges extend vertically outward from the upper and lower ends of the reinforcing plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the front longitudinal beam includes a front section and a rear section, the front section of the longitudinal beam being arranged parallel to the front wheel arch and the first connecting plate, and the rear section of the longitudinal beam being arranged parallel to the rear end edge of the first connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the front longitudinal beam includes an outer longitudinal beam plate and an inner longitudinal beam plate that are connected to each other. The inner longitudinal beam plate is located at the bottom of the outer longitudinal beam plate. The outer longitudinal beam plate is connected to the front wheel arch and the first connecting plate. The inner longitudinal beam plate is connected to the front bulkhead.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated in this description is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the parts or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a front wheel arch assembly, including a front wheel arch 10, a front bulkhead 20, a front longitudinal beam 30, a first connecting plate 40, and a reinforcing plate 50. The rear end of the front wheel arch 10 is connected to the front end of the first connecting plate 40, and the rear end of the first connecting plate 40 is connected to the front bulkhead 20 and the front longitudinal beam 30. The reinforcing plate 50 is disposed on the first connecting plate 40, with the front end of the reinforcing plate 50 located at the connection end between the front wheel arch 10 and the first connecting plate 40, and the rear end of the reinforcing plate 50 located at the connection end between the first connecting plate 40, the front bulkhead 20, and the front longitudinal beam 30. By setting the first connecting plate 40 and the reinforcing plate 50 between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20, and connecting the first connecting plate 40 and the reinforcing plate 50 to the front longitudinal beam 30, this utility model can improve the connection strength and rigidity between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20, effectively transfer the collision force to the front longitudinal beam 30, ensure the space and safety of the front occupants, and also improve NVH performance.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figure 4The reinforcing plate 50 includes a front connecting plate 51, a rear connecting plate 52, and a middle connecting plate 53. The middle connecting plate 53 is disposed between the front connecting plate 51 and the rear connecting plate 52. The front connecting plate 51 is located on the connection end between the front wheel arch 10 and the first connecting plate 40, and the reinforcing plate 50 is connected to the rear end of the front wheel arch 10 through the front connecting plate 51. The rear connecting plate 52 is located on the connection end of the first connecting plate 40, the front bulkhead 20, and the front longitudinal beam 30, and the reinforcing plate 50 is connected to the first connecting plate 40, the front bulkhead 20, and the front longitudinal beam 30 through the rear connecting plate 52. The middle connecting plate 53 is located on the first connecting plate 40.

[0024] Specifically, the front end of the first connecting plate 40 overlaps the rear end of the front wheel arch 10, and the front connecting plate 51 overlaps the front end of the first connecting plate 40. Through the overlapping of the three layers of sheet metal—the first connecting plate 40, the front wheel arch 10, and the front connecting plate 51—the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 50 and the front wheel arch 10 and the first connecting plate 40 can be guaranteed, as well as the transmission of force. The impact force is transmitted from the front wheel arch 10 through the first connecting plate 40 and the reinforcing plate 50 to the front bulkhead 20 and the front longitudinal beam 30.

[0025] Similarly, the front longitudinal beam 30 is stacked on the front bulkhead 20, the rear end of the first connecting plate 40 is stacked on the front longitudinal beam 30, and the rear connecting plate 52 is stacked on the rear end of the first connecting plate 40. Through the overlapping of the four layers of sheet metal—the first connecting plate 40, the front bulkhead 20, the rear connecting plate 52, and the front longitudinal beam 30—the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 50 and the first connecting plate 40, the front bulkhead 20, and the front longitudinal beam 30 can be guaranteed, as well as the transmission of force. The impact force can be smoothly transmitted to the front bulkhead 20 and the front longitudinal beam 30.

[0026] In the existing technology, the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20 are directly connected. The collision force is directly transmitted from the front wheel arch 20 to the front bulkhead 20, which will reduce the front space and seriously endanger the personal safety of the driver. In this utility model, the collision force is transmitted to the front longitudinal beam 30 through the first connecting plate 40 and the reinforcing plate 50. The front longitudinal beam 30 bears part of the collision force, ensuring the space and safety of the front occupants.

[0027] Furthermore, the reinforcing plate 50 has flanges 54 on both its upper and lower sides, extending vertically outward from both ends. The flanges 54 enhance the strength of the reinforcing plate 50 itself. This increased strength further improves the rigidity between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20, effectively improving NVH performance, reducing engine noise in hybrid vehicles, and enhancing passenger comfort.

[0028] Please refer to it again. Figure 1-3The front longitudinal beam 30 includes a front section 31 and a rear section 32. The front section 31 is parallel to the front wheel arch 10 and the first connecting plate 40, and the rear section 32 is parallel to the rear end edge of the first connecting plate 40. Since the front section 31 and the first connecting plate 40 are parallel to each other, the impact force cannot be transmitted to the front longitudinal beam 30. Therefore, designing the rear end edge of the first connecting plate 40 to be parallel to and connected to the rear section 32 of the longitudinal beam ensures that the impact force can be transmitted from the front wheel arch 10 to the front longitudinal beam 30 through the first connecting plate 40, allowing the front longitudinal beam 30 to bear part of the impact force and ensuring the passenger space and safety of the front of the vehicle.

[0029] In this utility model, the overall structure of the first connecting plate 40 is triangular, which improves its stability. The reinforcing plate 50 is rectangular in shape, and its two ends are connected to the front wheel arch 10, the front bulkhead 20 and the front longitudinal beam 30 to ensure the transmission of collision force. At the same time, the design of the rectangular structure with the flange 54 can ensure the strength of the reinforcing plate 50 itself, and further improve the connection stiffness between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20.

[0030] Furthermore, the front longitudinal beam 30 includes an outer longitudinal beam plate 33 and an inner longitudinal beam plate 34 connected to each other. The inner longitudinal beam plate 34 is located at the bottom of the outer longitudinal beam plate 33. The outer longitudinal beam plate 33 is connected to the front wheel arch 10 and the first connecting plate 40, and the inner longitudinal beam plate 34 is connected to the front bulkhead 20. Specifically, the inner longitudinal beam plate 34 is stacked on the front bulkhead 20, the outer longitudinal beam plate 33 is stacked on the inner longitudinal beam plate 34, the rear end of the first connecting plate 40 is stacked on the outer longitudinal beam plate 33, and the rear end connecting plate 52 of the reinforcing plate 50 is stacked on the rear end of the first connecting plate 40. The overlapping of multiple sheet metal layers ensures connection strength and smooth force transmission.

[0031] Furthermore, the front wheel arch assembly provided by this utility model also includes a second connecting plate 60 and a front shock absorber seat reinforcement plate 70. The second connecting plate 60 is located on the front side of the front wheel arch 10, and its rear end is connected to the front end of the front wheel arch 10. The bottom ends of the second connecting plate 60, the front wheel arch 10, and the first connecting plate 40 are all connected to the front longitudinal beam 30, specifically to the outer plate 33 of the longitudinal beam in the front longitudinal beam 30. The front shock absorber seat reinforcement plate 70 is located above the front wheel arch 10 and is connected to the first connecting plate 40, the front wheel arch 10, and the second connecting plate 60. The arrangement of the second connecting plate 60 and the front shock absorber seat reinforcement plate 70 ensures the stability of the front wheel arch 10.

[0032] As described above, the front wheel arch assembly provided by this utility model, by setting a first connecting plate 40 and a reinforcing plate 50 between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20, and connecting the first connecting plate 40 and the reinforcing plate 50 to the front longitudinal beam 30, can improve the connection strength and rigidity between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20, and can effectively transfer the collision force to the front longitudinal beam 30, so that the front longitudinal beam 30 can bear part of the collision force, ensuring the space and safety of the front occupants, and at the same time, it can also improve the engine noise of hybrid vehicles and improve the passenger experience; the reinforcing plate 50 is provided with a flange 54 structure, which can ensure the strength of the reinforcing plate 50 itself, thereby further improving the connection strength and rigidity between the front wheel arch 10 and the front bulkhead 20.
