[0023] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a front fender for an electric vehicle. The electric vehicle includes a front fork 300 and a front wheel, with the front wheel mounted on the front fork 300. The front fender includes a front fender body 100 and a cover plate 200. The front fender body 100 is mounted on the front fork 300 and covers the front wheel. The front fender body 100 has a fixing groove 101. The fixing member passes through the fixing groove 101 to fix the front fender body 100 to the front fork 300. The cover plate 200 fits into the fixing groove 101 and covers the upper surface of the fixing member.
[0024] In this embodiment, the front fender includes a front fender body 100 and a cover plate 200. The front fender body 100 is mounted on the front fork 300 and covers the front wheel, thereby preventing water splashed during driving from dripping into the wiring inside the front wheel and the front fork 300. The front fender has a fixing groove 101, and the front fender body 100 and the front fork 300 are fixed to each other by a fixing member passing through the fixing groove 101. In order to prevent the fixing member from rusting due to water splashed during driving, a cover plate 200 is covered on the fixing groove 101, and the cover plate 200 can cover the upper surface of the fixing member, effectively preventing the fixing member from rusting and ensuring the aesthetic appearance of the overall appearance.
[0025] Of course, the front mudguards provided in this embodiment can also be applied to the rear wheels. Similarly, they can be applied not only to electric vehicles but also to other vehicles that require mudguard structures.
[0026] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the front mudguard body 100 includes a first arc-shaped cover 102 and a second arc-shaped cover 103. One end of the first arc-shaped cover 102 and one end of the second arc-shaped cover 103 are connected to form a receiving space, and the front wheel is located in the receiving space.
[0027] In this embodiment, after the ends of the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are connected, they together form a semi-circular front mudguard body 100, and an accommodating space is formed inside it so that the front wheel can be placed inside the accommodating space so that water splashes generated by the front wheel during driving can be blocked.
[0028] In other words, both the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are arc-shaped and each has a hollow space inside. After the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are connected, the hollow spaces inside them form a receiving space for placing the front wheel. For the sake of the overall aesthetic appearance, the width of the hollow space of the first arc-shaped cover 102 is greater than the width of the hollow space of the second arc-shaped cover 103. That is, the first arc-shaped cover 102 can be placed on top of the second arc-shaped cover 103. Of course, it is also possible to do the opposite, with the second arc-shaped cover 103 placed on top of the first arc-shaped cover 102.
[0029] Optionally, the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 can also be an integral structure. Their purpose does not deviate from the design concept of this utility model and should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0030] When the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are separate, they are injection molded separately. After the first arc-shaped cover 102 is placed on top of the second arc-shaped cover 103, corresponding screw holes are opened, and screws or other fixing parts are used to fix them together. If the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are integrated, they can be directly injection molded as a whole using the corresponding mold.
[0031] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, a connecting plate 301 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the front fork 300, and a fixing groove 101 is opened in the first arc-shaped cover 102 and / or the second arc-shaped cover 103. The fixing member passes through the fixing groove 101 and the connecting plate 301 to fix the front fender body 100 to the front fork 300.
[0032] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 301 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the front fork 300. In order to make the front fender body 100 relatively fixed to the front fork 300, a fixing groove 101 can be opened separately in the first arc-shaped cover 102, or a fixing groove 101 can be opened separately in the second arc-shaped cover 103, or fixing grooves 101 can be opened in both the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103. In all cases, a fastener is used to pass through the fixing groove 101 and the connecting plate 301 to fix the front fender body 100 to the front fork 300.
[0033] Preferably, the connecting plate 301 is rectangular, and the axis of the connecting plate 301 is perpendicular to the circumference of the fork, that is, the connecting plate 301 and the fork 300 are arranged perpendicular to each other, so as to facilitate assembly with the first arc-shaped cover 102 and / or the second arc-shaped cover 103.
[0034] Of course, the connecting plate 301 and the fork 300 can be fixed by welding or other fixed connection methods. The purpose of these methods is to deviate from the design concept of this utility model and should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0035] Preferred, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a through hole is provided in the first arc-shaped cover 102, through which the front fork 300 passes. Correspondingly, a fixing groove 101 is provided in the side wall of the first arc-shaped cover 102, and a circular groove 106 is provided in the side wall of the second arc-shaped cover 103 adjacent to the first arc-shaped cover 102. Fixing members pass through the fixing groove 101 and the connecting plate 301, and the circular groove 106 and the connecting plate 301, respectively, to fix the fixing groove 101 and the circular groove 106 to the connecting plate 301, so as to relatively limit the relative positions between the first arc-shaped cover 102, the second arc-shaped cover 103 and the front fork 300. Of course, a matching circular baffle is covered on the circular groove 106 to ensure the overall aesthetics. The circular groove 106 can also be replaced by a square groove, a diamond groove or a groove of other shapes.
[0036] Of course, if the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are an integrated structure, a through hole is provided at the top of the integrated structure formed by the two, which can facilitate the fork 300 to pass through. The fixing method between the fork 300 and the fork 300 is the same as described above, so it will not be repeated.
[0037] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the connecting plate 301 has a through hole, and the bottom wall of the fixing groove 101 has a fixing hole 104. The fixing member passes through the fixing hole 104 and the through hole to fix the first arc-shaped cover 102 and / or the second arc-shaped cover 103 to the connecting plate 301.
[0038] In this embodiment, to facilitate the smooth passage of the fasteners, a fixing hole 104 is provided on the bottom wall of the fixing groove 101. When the fixing groove 101 is only provided on the first arc-shaped cover 102 or the second arc-shaped cover 103, at least two fixing holes 104 are provided to ensure structural strength, and they are evenly spaced along the extension direction of the fixing groove 101. Correspondingly, a through hole is provided on the connecting plate 301 to be used with it. The first arc-shaped cover 102 and / or the second arc-shaped cover 103 are fixed to the connecting plate 301 by using the same number of fasteners passing through each fixing hole 104 and through hole. Similarly, a circular groove 106 is provided in one of the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 where the fixing groove 101 is not provided, and at least one fixing hole 104 is provided on the bottom wall of the circular groove 106. The fixing principle is the same as the fixing principle of the fixing groove 101 and the connecting plate 301, so it will not be described again.
[0039] When both the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 are provided with fixing grooves 101, the number of fixing holes 104 opened in the fixing groove 101 of at least one of the first arc-shaped cover 102 and the second arc-shaped cover 103 is at least two, and the number of fixing holes 104 opened in the other one is not limited. The fixing principle is the same as described above, so it will not be repeated here, so as to ensure the structural strength of the connection.
[0040] By setting the connecting plate 301, the structural strength of the fork 300 during use can be guaranteed. Alternatively, through holes symmetrically arranged radially along the fork 300 can be opened at the position corresponding to the fixing groove 101 on the fork 300. The first arc-shaped cover 102 or the second arc-shaped cover 103 can be fixed to the fork 300 by using fasteners passing through the fixing holes and through holes.
[0041] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fastener includes a bolt 400 and a nut 401. The end of the bolt 400 passes through the fixing hole 104 and the through hole and is fixed by the nut 401.
[0042] In this embodiment, after the end of the bolt 400 passes through the fixing hole 104 and the through hole, the bolt 400 is fixed from the other side of the connecting plate 301 using a nut 401, thereby ensuring the structural strength of the connection.
[0043] Of course, fasteners can also be screws, bolts, or other components that are easy to fix by drilling.
[0044] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the front mudguard also includes a connecting assembly, and the cover plate 200 is detachably connected to the fixing groove 101 via the connecting assembly.
[0045] In this embodiment, the cover plate 200 and the fixing groove 101 are detachably connected by a connecting component, that is, the cover plate 200 and the fixing groove 101 are respectively provided with connecting components to cooperate and fix the two to each other.
[0046] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting assembly includes a hook 201 and a hole 105 that can be snapped together. One of the fixing groove 101 and the cover plate 200 is provided with a hook 201, and the other is provided with a hole 105. The cover plate 200 is detachably connected to the fixing groove 101 through the snap-fit of the hook 201 and the hole 105.
[0047] In this embodiment, a locking hole 105 can be provided on the inner wall of the top of the fixing groove 101, and a locking hook 201 can be provided on the side wall of the cover plate 200. Alternatively, a locking hole 105 can be provided on the side wall of the cover plate 200, and a locking hook 201 can be provided on the inner wall of the top of the fixing groove 101. The two can be fixed by the locking engagement of the locking hook 201 and the locking hole 105. The number of locking holes 105 is greater than or equal to the number of locking hooks 201, and the locking hooks 201 can correspond to the locking holes 105. Preferably, there are two locking hooks 201 and two locking holes 105, respectively located at both ends along the length of the fixing groove 101 and the cover plate 200. By using the locking engagement of the locking hooks 201 and the locking holes 105 for fixing, the connection strength is sufficient and it is not easy to fall off. It can prevent the fixing parts in the fixing groove 101 from rusting due to water splashing during driving, and it is also easy to disassemble for replacement and maintenance.
[0048] Of course, when multiple hooks 201 are provided, they can be evenly spaced along the circumference of one of the fixing grooves 101 or the cover plate 200, while another one is provided with a locking hole 105 that corresponds one-to-one with the hook 201, and then the hook 201 and the locking hole 105 are engaged for assembly.
[0049] The hook 201 includes a straight section and a hook end, which engages with the locking hole 105. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Of course, a protrusion or a stop can be used instead of the hook end for engagement, or other locking structures can be used instead of the hook 201, such as locking posts or locking claws. The purpose of these alternatives is to deviate from the design concept of this utility model and they should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0050] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, one end of the cover plate 200 is provided with a disassembly port 202, and a disassembly space is formed between the disassembly port 202 and the side wall of the fixing groove 101.
[0051] In this embodiment, since the cover plate 200 and the fixing groove 101 are detachably connected by the snap-fit of the hook 201 and the snap-fit hole 105, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the bolt 400 and achieve the effect of quickly disassembling the mud tile body 100, a disassembly port 202 is provided at one end of the cover plate 200. That is, a notch recessed towards its center is opened at the end of the cover plate 200. When the cover plate 200 is snapped into the fixing groove 101, the disassembly port 202 can easily form a disassembly space by enclosing the inner wall of the adjacent fixing groove 101. When disassembly is required, the cover plate 200 can be pried out of the fixing groove 101 by inserting a tool into the disassembly space. The whole process is very convenient.
[0052] Alternatively, the disassembly port 202 can be located on the upper surface of the cover plate 200, with the disassembly port 202 recessed towards the side of the cover plate 200 opposite to it, but not penetrating the cover plate 200, so that when disassembling, the cover plate can be removed from above the fixing groove 101 by using a tool to pry or manually bending it through the disassembly port 202.
[0053] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a reflective sticker is provided on the side of the cover 200 facing away from the fixing groove 101.
[0054] In this embodiment, to ensure safety during driving, a reflective sticker is affixed to the side of the cover 200 facing away from the fixing groove 101. The reflective sticker can be yellow or red and serves to reflect light and provide a warning.
[0055] Of course, a reflector or reflective sheet can be installed on the side of the first arc-shaped cover 102 by means of snap-fit or other methods. The effect is the same as that of a reflective sticker. Since both reflectors and reflective sheets are existing technologies, they will not be described in detail here.
