[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9 The front fender 1 of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention can be mounted on the vehicle.
[0034] According to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the front fender 1 of the vehicle, such as Figures 1-9 As shown, the front fender 1 of the vehicle may include: a fender body 10 and a fender reinforcing plate 20. The rear end of the fender body 10 has a edging structure 11. The fender reinforcing plate 20 is located inside the fender body 10. The rear end of the fender reinforcing plate 20 has a mounting part 21. The edging structure 11 covers the mounting part 21, and the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20 are fixedly connected.
[0035] It should be noted that the existing front fender is a one-piece structure. The one-piece front fender structure is complex and difficult to form, which affects the quality of the finished front fender and makes the production cost of the front fender high.
[0036] Based on this, this application proposes a front fender 1 for a vehicle. The front fender 1 may include a fender body 10 and a fender reinforcing plate 20. Both the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20 can be produced by injection molding. The fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20 can be assembled together to form the front fender 1. The front fender 1 can be constructed as a split structure. Along the front-rear direction of the fender body 10, the rear end of the fender body 10 has a edging structure 11. The front fender 1, as shown... Figure 1 When setting the direction, the fore-and-aft direction of the fender body 10 can be... Figure 1 In the X-direction, the front-rear direction of the fender body 10 can be parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the rear end of the fender body 10 is the end of the fender body 10 closer to the rear of the vehicle. The fender reinforcement plate 20 can be located on the inner side of the fender body 10. It should be noted that the inner side of the fender body 10 is the side of the fender body 10 closer to the interior of the vehicle along the width direction of the vehicle. The rear end of the fender reinforcement plate 20 has a mounting part 21, which can be assembled with the edge covering structure 11. The edge covering structure 11 can cover the mounting part 21 and can be fixedly connected to the mounting part 21 by welding, bonding or other methods, so that the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcement plate 20 can be fixedly connected, which is beneficial to making the front fender 1 a whole structure and improving the structural strength of the front fender 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, by configuring the front fender 1 as a split structure, it is beneficial to reduce the molding difficulty of the front fender 1 while meeting the structural strength requirements, thereby improving the finished product quality and reducing production costs. Furthermore, by providing the fender body 10 with an edge-wrapping structure 11, the connection strength between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20 can be satisfied while improving the appearance quality of the front fender 1.
[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, the assembly part 21 and the edge-sealing structure 11 are fixedly connected.
[0039] The edging structure 11 can cover the assembly part 21, allowing the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20 to be connected. The assembly part 21 and the edging structure 11 can be fixedly connected by welding, bonding, or other methods, which helps to improve the connection strength between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20, improves the structural strength of the front fender 1, and further enhances the overall integrity of the front fender 1. As an example, the assembly part 21 can extend along the height direction of the front fender 1, and the edging structure 11 can extend along the height direction of the front fender 1. For example, the front fender 1... Figure 1 When setting the direction, the height direction of the front fender 1 can be... Figure 1 In the Z-direction, the height direction of the front fender 1 can be parallel to the height direction of the vehicle. Along the height direction of the front fender 1, the edging structure 11 can cover the mounting part 21, which helps to increase the contact area between the mounting part 21 and the edging structure 11, and further improves the connection strength between the mounting part 21 and the edging structure 11.
[0040] As an example, the assembly part 21 and the edge structure 11 can be fixedly connected by spot welding, laser welding or other methods. Spot welding can be set on the non-visual surface of the front fender 1, and laser welding can be set at the bend on the front fender 1, which is conducive to further improving the connection strength between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20.
[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, the width dimension of the edging structure 11 along the front-rear direction of the front fender 1 is D1, which satisfies the relationship: 6mm≤D1≤8mm.
[0042] The front fender 1 can be parallel to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The edging structure 11 can be located at the rear end of the front fender 1. Along the front-rear direction of the front fender 1, the width of the edging structure 11 is D1, satisfying the relationship: 6mm ≤ D1 ≤ 8mm. For example, the width of the edging structure 11 can be 6mm, 6.3mm, 7mm, 7.6mm, 8mm, etc. The width of the edging structure 11 can be within the range of 6mm to 8mm, including any value including the endpoint value. Any value of the edging structure 11 is an optional width of the edging structure 11. If the width of the edging structure 11 is less than 6mm, making the edging structure 11 too narrow, it will affect the connection strength between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20. If the width of the edging structure 11 is greater than 8mm, making the edging structure 11 too wide, it will waste materials and increase the production cost of the front fender 1. Therefore, the width of the edging structure 11 is between 6mm and 8mm, which can not only meet the connection strength between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcement plate 20, but also reduce the production cost of the front fender 1.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the edge-sealing structure 11 defines an installation space 111 that opens toward the front end of the fender body 10. The mounting part 21 is mounted in the installation space 111. A fixing adhesive layer is provided in the installation space 111. The fixing adhesive layer is located between the mounting part 21 and the edge-sealing structure 11 so that the mounting part 21 is fixed to the edge-sealing structure 11.
[0044] The edging structure 11 defines an installation space 111, which is open towards the front end of the fender body 10. The front end of the fender body 10 can be the end of the fender body 10 closest to the front of the vehicle along the front-rear direction. The mounting part 21 can be mounted within the installation space 111 and can abut against and limit the inner wall of the installation space 111. A fixing adhesive layer can be provided within the installation space 111, which can be located between the mounting part 21 and the edging structure 11. The fixing adhesive layer can bond the mounting part 21 and the edging structure 11 together, and can further improve the connection strength between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20, which is beneficial to further improving the structural strength of the front fender 1. As an example, the fixing adhesive layer can be composed of edge-folding adhesive or edge-folding structural adhesive. When the fender body 10 forms the edge-folding structure 11, edge-folding adhesive is applied to the area where the edge-folding structure 11 is formed on the fender body 10. The assembly part 21 is placed in the area where the edge-folding structure 11 is formed, and the fender body 10 is rolled to form the edge-folding structure 11.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the front fender 1 may further include: a shock-absorbing structure, which is assembled between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20.
[0046] A damping structure can be provided between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20. The damping structure can play the role of damping and buffering. The damping structure can be provided in a local area of the front fender 1, which helps to reduce the risk of deformation and cracking of the front fender 1 and improve the stability of the front fender 1.
[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the shock-absorbing structure is a shock-absorbing adhesive layer.
[0048] A damping expansion adhesive can be locally applied between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcement plate 20. The damping structure can be constructed as a damping adhesive layer, which can be sandwiched between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcement plate 20. The damping adhesive layer can prevent rigid contact between metal parts, which is beneficial to further achieving the effect of damping and buffering. The damping adhesive layer is lightweight and will not significantly increase the vehicle body load, which is conducive to meeting the lightweight design requirements of the vehicle and reducing costs. In order to match the streamlined design of the vehicle body, the front fender 1 is usually constructed as an irregular curved surface. The damping adhesive layer can be tightly attached between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcement plate 20 by coating, bonding or other methods. The damping adhesive layer can adapt to the shape of the front fender 1 and can also fill small gaps. The damping adhesive layer has good adaptability.
[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the front fender 1 may further include: a sealing structure 30, and an edge-wrapping structure 11 having a first edge-wrapping portion 112 and a second edge-wrapping portion 113. The first edge-wrapping portion 112 and the second edge-wrapping portion 113 are opposite to and spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the fender reinforcing plate 20 and the fender body 10. The first edge-wrapping portion 112 is located on the outer side of the fender reinforcing plate 20, and the second edge-wrapping portion 113 is located on the inner side of the fender reinforcing plate 20. The rear end of the first edge-wrapping portion 112 and the rear end of the second edge-wrapping portion 113 are connected. The sealing structure 30 covers the free end of the second edge-wrapping portion 113 and the adjacent part of the fender reinforcing plate 20.
[0050] The edging structure 11 has a first edging portion 112 and a second edging portion 113. The first edging portion 112 and the second edging portion 113 can be arranged opposite to each other and spaced apart along the arrangement direction of the fender reinforcing plate 20 and the fender body 10. The first edging portion 112 and the second edging portion 113 can jointly define the installation space 111. The first edging portion 112 can be located on the outer side of the fender reinforcing plate 20, and the second edging portion 113 can be located on the inner side of the fender reinforcing plate 20. The assembly portion 21 can be sandwiched between the first edging portion 112 and the second edging portion 113. A fixing adhesive layer can be provided between the assembly portion 21 and the first edging portion 112, and a fixing adhesive layer can be provided between the assembly portion 21 and the second edging portion 113, thereby further realizing the effect of fixing the assembly portion 21 to the edging structure 11.
[0051] The rear end of the first edge banding portion 112 can be connected to the rear end of the second edge banding portion 113, and the rear ends of the first edge banding portion 112 and the second edge banding portion 113 can be integrally formed. Along the front-rear direction of the fender body 10, the front end of the second edge banding portion 113 is its free end. When the fender reinforcing plate 20 is assembled with the fender body 10, the sealing structure 30 covers the free end of the second edge banding portion 113 and the adjacent area of the fender reinforcing plate 20. The sealing structure 30 can be made of sealant. The sealing structure 30 can seal the gap at the connection between the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20, and isolate moisture, which helps reduce the probability of corrosion of the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20, and helps extend the service life of the front fender 1. By setting the sealing structure 30 to be sealant, the sealing structure 30 can further connect the fender body 10 and the fender reinforcing plate 20.
[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the fender reinforcement plate 20 may include: multiple sub-reinforcement plates 22, which are arranged sequentially along the front-rear direction of the front fender 1, and any two adjacent sub-reinforcement plates 22 are bent and connected.
[0053] Multiple sub-reinforcing plates 22 can be arranged sequentially along the front-rear direction of the front fender 1 (i.e., the front-rear direction of the fender body 10). These sub-reinforcing plates 22 can be integrally formed or welded together. Any two adjacent sub-reinforcing plates 22 can be bent and connected, allowing the fender reinforcing plate 20 to adapt to the complex curved surfaces of the vehicle and maintain a uniform gap with surrounding components. This helps reduce the probability of conflict between the fender reinforcing plate 20 and other components during assembly. Furthermore, when multiple sub-reinforcing plates 22 are arranged along the front-rear direction of the front fender 1, the bent and connected sub-reinforcing plates 22 can reduce stress concentration in the fender reinforcing plate 20, further improving the structural strength of the fender reinforcing plate 20 and the front fender 1.
[0054] As an example, to match the streamlined design of the car body, the front fender 1 is typically constructed with an irregular curved surface, and correspondingly, multiple sub-reinforcing plates 22 are also constructed with irregular curved surfaces. Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, the angles at which multiple sub-reinforcing plates 22 at different positions along the height direction of the front fender 1 are bent and connected can be different.
[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, multiple sub-reinforcing plates 22 are integrally formed.
[0056] Multiple sub-reinforcing plates 22 can be integrally formed, which simplifies the production process of the fender reinforcing plate 20, improves the production efficiency of the fender reinforcing plate 20, and further enhances the structural strength of the fender reinforcing plate 20 and the front fender 1.
