[0001] The present application relates to the field of vehicles, in particular to a fender, a door assembly and a vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the vehicle industry, the number of vehicles is steadily increasing, and in the face of the diversification of brands and models, the unique design and NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance of vehicles are increasingly becoming the focus of attention. The vehicle fender, as a component that can prevent scratches and cause body scratches, usually fixed at the position of the vehicle door, bumper, etc. In daily use scenarios, due to the position of the vehicle fender close to the road, it is more susceptible to vibrations from different sources during vehicle driving, which can easily cause abnormal noise due to friction and collision between the vehicle fender and the vehicle mounting part, affecting the driving experience of people.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an improved fender to solve some or all of the above problems. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The present application provides a fender with good mute effect, a door assembly and a vehicle.

[0005] The present application provides a fender, comprising:

[0006] an outer plate;

[0007] an inner plate assembled to the outer plate, the inner plate comprising a mounting portion and a mounting groove provided inwardly from the upper side of the mounting portion;

[0008] a buffer member mounted in the mounting groove, the buffer member being provided with a first clamping groove that can be assembled with a protected component.

[0009] Further, the buffer member comprises a body portion and a clamping portion, the first clamping groove is provided in the body portion, the clamping portion is provided by bending from one side of the body portion, and a second clamping groove is formed between the clamping portion and the body portion.

[0010] Further, the mounting portion comprises a clamping plate located on one side of the mounting groove, the clamping portion is clamped to the clamping plate, and the clamping portion partially protrudes upwardly from the mounting groove, and the clamping plate is partially located in the second clamping groove.

[0011] Further, the cross section of the body portion is V-shaped, the cross section shape of the mounting groove corresponds to the cross section shape of the body portion, and the body portion is attached to the inner wall of the mounting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the buffer includes a flexible buffer.

[0013] Furthermore, along the length of the anti-friction plate, there are multiple buffer members, which are spaced apart.

[0014] Furthermore, the mounting part includes a plurality of protruding ribs provided on the inner wall of the mounting groove. Along the length direction of the anti-scratch plate, the plurality of protruding ribs are spaced apart, and a buffer member may be provided between every two adjacent protruding ribs.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments (or "implementations") of this application will be clearly and completely described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

[0031] If the embodiments of this application contain terms relating to directional indications or positional relationships (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, outside, top, bottom, center, vertical, horizontal, longitudinal, transverse, length, width, counterclockwise, clockwise, axial, radial, circumferential, etc.), such terms are only used to explain the relative positional relationships and movements between components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figures); if the specific posture changes, the directional indications or positional relationships will also change accordingly. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" used in the embodiments of this application are only for descriptive convenience and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the anti-scratch panel of this application includes an outer panel 1, an inner panel 2, and a buffer member 3. The inner panel 2 is assembled to the outer panel 1 and includes a mounting part 21 and a mounting groove 22 recessed from the upper side 211 of the mounting part 21. The mounting part 21 can be assembled with the protected component. The buffer member 3 is installed in the mounting groove 22 and has a first retaining groove 31, which is assembled with the protected component. It is worth noting that the protected component can be a door, fender, or other similar parts; this is not a limitation herein.

[0033] With this configuration, when friction and collision occur between the anti-friction plate and the protected component, the buffer 3 can greatly reduce the vibration amplitude of the anti-friction plate, thereby effectively eliminating friction noise and improving the noise reduction effect of the anti-friction plate.

[0034] The mounting section 21 includes a plurality of raised ribs 213 disposed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 22, and the plurality of raised ribs 213 are spaced apart along the length direction of the anti-scratch plate. This arrangement can improve the strength of the mounting section 21 and reduce the vibration amplitude.

[0035] To clearly illustrate the orientation of the anti-scratch plate, this application uses a coordinate system for illustration. The X-axis represents the length of the anti-scratch plate, the Y-axis represents its thickness, and the Z-axis represents its height. Please refer to the following for details. Figure 1 and Figure 2 When the skid plate is installed on the vehicle door, its length is parallel to the length of the vehicle, its thickness is parallel to the width of the vehicle, and its height is parallel to the height of the vehicle.

[0036] Further integration Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer 3 includes a body portion 32 and a snap-fit ​​portion 33. A first snap-fit ​​groove 31 is provided on the body portion 32, and the snap-fit ​​portion 33 is bent from one side of the body portion 32, forming a second snap-fit ​​groove 34 between the snap-fit ​​portion 33 and the body portion 32. The body portion 32 has a V-shaped cross-section, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting groove 22 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the body portion 32, with the body portion 32 fitting against the inner wall of the mounting groove 22. It is worth noting that the body portion 32 can be fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 22 by snap-fitting, bonding, or other methods.

[0037] The main body 32 includes a first side plate 321, a second side plate 322, and a bottom side plate 323. The bottom side plate 323 connects the first side plate 321 and the second side plate 322, forming a first retaining groove 31 with the first side plate 321 and the second side plate 322. The included angle between the first side plate 321 and the second side plate 322 is an acute angle. This arrangement allows the main body 32 to be more tightly assembled with the protected component, improving the vibration reduction and noise reduction effect of the buffer 3.

[0038] In some other embodiments, the cross-section of the body portion 32 may also be U-shaped, and correspondingly, the cross-sectional shape of the mounting groove 22 is also U-shaped, so that the body portion 32 and the mounting groove 22 can fit tightly together. In addition, the cross-section of the body portion 32 may also be other shapes, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0039] Further integration Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​portion 33 snaps onto the mounting portion 21 to improve the installation stability of the buffer member 3. Specifically, the mounting portion 21 includes a retaining plate 212, which is located on one side of the mounting groove 22. The snap-fit ​​portion 33 snaps onto the retaining plate 212, and correspondingly, a portion of the retaining plate 212 is located within the second retaining groove 34. To improve the connection stability between the snap-fit ​​portion 33 and the retaining plate 212, an interference fit is made between the snap-fit ​​portion 33 and the retaining plate 212. Admittedly, the snap-fit ​​portion 33 and the retaining plate 212 can also be fixed by means of bonding, welding, screwing, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0040] The latching portion 33 extends upward beyond the mounting groove 22, so that the latching portion 33 at least covers a portion of the upper side of the retaining plate 212. This arrangement reduces the contact area between the protected component and the upper side of the retaining plate 212, thereby reducing the likelihood of friction noise.

[0041] The latching part 33 includes a horizontal folding plate 331 and a vertical folding plate 332. The horizontal folding plate 331 is bent from the side of the first side plate 321 away from the bottom side plate 323, and the vertical folding plate 332 is bent from the side of the horizontal folding plate 331 away from the first side plate 321. The horizontal folding plate 331, the vertical folding plate 332, and a portion of the first side plate 321 together form a second latching groove 34. The horizontal folding plate 331 and the bottom side plate 323 are arranged approximately parallel to each other.

[0042] The buffer 3 may also include an arcuate portion 35, which is connected to the side of the second side plate 322 opposite to the bottom side plate 323, and the arcuate portion 35 fits against the mounting portion 21. The arcuate portion 35 extends upward beyond the mounting groove 22. This arrangement reduces the contact area between the protected component and the mounting portion 21, thereby reducing the probability of friction noise.

[0043] In some embodiments, the buffer 3 includes a flexible buffer. In other words, the buffer 3 is made of a flexible elastic material, such as elastic plastic, rubber, or a composite of plastic and rubber.

[0044] To improve the shock absorption and noise reduction effect of the anti-friction plate, multiple buffer members 3 are provided along the length of the anti-friction plate and are spaced apart. All buffer members 3 can be assembled with the protected component. In addition to having multiple buffer members 3, one buffer member 3 can be provided between every two adjacent ribs 213. Alternatively, one buffer member 3 can be provided between every four adjacent ribs 213; this is not a limitation of the present invention.

[0045] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some other embodiments, the buffer member 3 is elongated along the length of the anti-friction plate. Specifically, the mounting portion 21 includes a first side 214 and a second side 215, which are positioned opposite each other along the length of the anti-friction plate, with the buffer member 3 extending from the first side 214 to the second side 215. This arrangement increases the contact area between the buffer member 3 and the protected component, improves the vibration damping effect, effectively eliminates friction noise, and enhances the noise reduction effect of the anti-friction plate.

[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a door assembly, including a door body 4 and a vehicle anti-scratch plate as described above. The door body 4 includes a bottom side edge 41, which is at least partially disposed within a first slot 31. Specifically, the bottom side edge 41 can contact the first side plate 321, the second side plate 322, and the bottom side plate 323 of the buffer member 3, thereby reducing vibration and friction noise between the bottom side edge 41 and the anti-scratch plate, and improving the noise reduction effect. At the same time, the anti-scratch plate can also serve a decorative function for the door body 4, improving the aesthetics of the door assembly.

[0047] This application also provides a vehicle including the door assembly described above. By providing the anti-scratch plate as described above at the door body 4, the vehicle of this application effectively reduces abnormal noises caused by vibration and friction between the door body 4 and the anti-scratch plate, improving the vehicle's NVH performance and thus enhancing the user experience and market competitiveness.
