Abstract
Description
1 TARIFF A unified system that can be used in different vehicle types. FENDER TECHNICAL AREA 5 This invention relates to fenders used for the rear wheels of motor vehicles. Specifically, regarding the use of tire chains in snowy and icy road conditions. An improved fender design is presented. PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE 10 Modern fenders used on motor vehicles protect the rear wheels of the vehicle from the outside. In addition to protecting against the elements, chains used on snowy and icy surfaces It is also designed to ensure safe operation. Different vehicles The fenders used in these types generally differ in material structure, mounting method, and They vary in size. 15 In current practices, two specific vehicle models have different designs. Mudguards are used: The first vehicle model features fenders made of sheet metal, in addition to 20... It is reinforced with a rubber coating. This structure increases durability, while This requires additional labor in the production process and extends the assembly time. In the second vehicle model, the fender is made of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) material. It has been manufactured. Although its lightweight nature contributes to fuel efficiency, the current 25 Due to the design, the chain may not adhere to the carcass during use on the vehicle. It causes a collision. These differences lead to various technical and economic problems: Complexity in the Production Process: The existence of different fender designs makes production 30 This necessitates the use of different molds and assembly techniques in the production line. This situation leads to decreased efficiency in mass production and increased production costs. This is the reason. 2 Logistics and Storage Problems: Producing different fenders for two different models. and their storage makes parts management difficult and increases warehouse space requirements. It increases. Usage Problems on the Vehicle: Wheel chain 5 in cold climate conditions When installed, the chain strikes the carcass due to the current design. This situation, This causes both wear and tear on the vehicle body and damage to the chain over time. is happening. Maintenance and Service Challenges: Use of different types of fenders, spare parts 10 This complicates the supply and maintenance processes. Given these shortcomings, they are common to different vehicle types. It can be used to eliminate the problem of contact between the chain and the carcass during use. There is a need for a fender design that lifts, optimizes production and assembly processes. It is heard. A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention is a fender that can be used commonly across different vehicle models. Its feature is that it provides production and cost optimization, reduces storage space, 20 The vehicle's design prevents contact with the carcass during the use of snow chains. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES Figure 1, Perspective view of the fender, which is the subject of the invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention is a fender applied to the rear wheel area of motor vehicles. It is related to their structure and its characteristic is that in climatic conditions requiring chain-based use, the chain 30 structural components that allow for easy installation and are compatible with different vehicle models. It relates to a fender structure with increased strength. 3 In current systems, the fender structures used in different vehicle models are chain-like. unable to provide the necessary clearance for mounting and the chain getting caught on the fender or carcass It causes a collision. In this context, the critical distance for chain mounting is the outer 5 of the rear wheel. the circumference (tire shoulder point) and the inner surface of the fender or where the fender is attached It is the distance between the carcass / body structure. This distance allows the chain to move freely. It must provide sufficient clearance for installation. In the currently used fender structures, chains are particularly important, especially in tight corners or The wheel contacts the fender during movement. Wheel-10 in loaded condition. The fender / frame distance is 9,734 mm, allowing the chain to fit securely. It is almost impossible to install. In the unloaded state, the opening in the rear area... The width is 39.936 mm and the ground clearance at the front is 40.817 mm, even when unloaded. The clarity in the measurements is insufficient. The fender, which is the subject of the invention, is manufactured from FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) material. Fire Coremat reinforcement has been integrated into the structure. Thus, the fender... The rigidity of the structure has been increased, surface flatness has been ensured, and impact and vibration damping has been achieved. A modified fender has been provided. The invention is designed to facilitate fender mounting on the vehicle chassis. The structure has at least one connection lug and at least one anchor point for connection at multiple points. has. The fender, the subject of the invention, is designed to provide the necessary clearance for chain mounting, measuring 25 inches. It has been restructured. The distance between the wheel and the inner surface of the fender at the rear. The width has been increased to 65.911 mm in the front section and 66.519 mm in the front section. These values represent an increase of 20 mm. It allows chains of considerable thickness to be attached securely. Thus A modular and interchangeable fender compatible with all vehicles. Its structure has been designed. 30
