What is a car front fender
The front fender of an automobile is an outer body plate mounted on the front wheels of an automobile. Its main function is to cover the wheels and provide the maximum limit space for the rotation and jumping of the front wheels. According to the selected tire model size, the designer will use the "wheel runout diagram" to verify that the front fender design size is appropriate to ensure its stability and safety in various driving conditions .
Structure and material
The front fender, usually made of a resin material, combines an outer panel that is exposed to the side of the vehicle and a stiffener that runs along the edge of the outer panel, enhancing the strength and durability of the fender .
Part of the front fender is made of plastic material with certain elasticity, which can reduce the injury to pedestrians in the event of a collision and improve the pedestrian protection performance .
Function and importance
anti-splash : prevent the wheel rolled up sand, mud splash to the bottom of the carriage, keep the body clean and tidy .
Protective parts : Protects tires, suspension systems and the underside of the vehicle to reduce wear and damage and extend service life .
Optimized aerodynamics : Although the primary function of the front fenders is not to optimize aerodynamics, in some designs their shape and position can help to reduce wind drag and improve ride stability .
aesthetics : as part of the body, the design and material choice of the front fender also affect the overall aesthetics of the vehicle .
Replacement and maintenance
The front fender is usually assembled independently, especially in the event of a collision, to facilitate replacement of the whole piece. Due to its independent design, maintenance is relatively simple and low cost .
The main functions of automobile front fender include the following :
Sand and mud spatter prevention : The front fender effectively prevents the sand and mud rolled up by the wheels from splashing onto the bottom of the carriage, thereby reducing the wear and corrosion of the chassis .
reduce drag coefficient : through the principle of fluid mechanics, the front fender design can reduce the drag coefficient and make the vehicle run more smoothly .
Protect vehicle key parts : the front fender can protect the key parts of the vehicle, especially in the event of a collision, has a certain cushioning effect, can absorb part of the impact force, improve driving safety .
perfect body modeling : The design of the front fender helps to improve the body modeling, keep the perfect and smooth body lines, and improve the overall beauty of the vehicle .
Installation position and design characteristics of the front fender :
The front fender is usually mounted on the front section, snug above the front wheels. Its design needs to consider the maximum limit space when the front wheel rotates and beats. The manufacturer uses a "wheel runout diagram" to verify the design dimensions and ensure that the front wheels do not interfere with the fender plate as they turn and run .
Recommendations for material selection and maintenance of front fender :
The front fender usually uses a plastic material with some elasticity, which not only has cushioning properties, but also absorbs the impact force in the event of a minor collision. In addition, the material needs to have good weather resistance and molding processability to ensure that it can maintain good performance in a variety of climatic conditions .
