What is a car front fender
The front fender of an automobile is an exterior body panel mounted above the front wheels of an automobile. Its main function is to cover the wheels and protect the front end parts of the vehicle. The design of the front fender must take into account the maximum space of rotation and runout of the front wheel, so the designer will use a "wheel runout diagram" according to the selected tire size to verify the design size .
Structure and material
The front fender is usually made of a resin material, combining the outer plate part and the stiffener part. The outer panel is exposed to the side of the vehicle, while the stiffener extends along the edge of the outer panel, increasing the strength and durability of the fender . In some models, the front fender is made of a plastic material with a certain degree of elasticity, which can reduce the injury to pedestrians in the event of a collision and improve the pedestrian protection performance of the vehicle .
Function and importance
The front fender plays an important role in the running of the car:
anti-splash : to prevent the wheel rolled up sand, mud and other debris splashed onto the body and the bottom of the carriage, to keep the body clean and tidy .
protective parts : Protect the tires, suspension system and the bottom of the vehicle, reduce wear and damage to the parts, extend the service life .
optimized aerodynamics : The design with a slightly arched arc protruding out of the shape is helpful to optimize the air flow around the vehicle, reduce wind resistance and improve the vehicle's driving stability .
Pedestrian protection : Front fender panels made of elastic material can reduce injuries to pedestrians in the event of a collision .
Replacement and maintenance
Front fenders are usually independently assembled, especially after a collision, and independent front fenders are easier to quickly replace and repair .
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 .
reduced drag : The design of the front fender helps to optimize the body shape, reduce air resistance, and make the vehicle run more smoothly .
body protection : as a part of the body, the front fender can protect the key components of the vehicle, especially in the event of a collision, can absorb a certain impact force and reduce the damage to the vehicle .
provide sufficient space : The design of the front fender needs to ensure the maximum space for rotation and jumping of the front wheels, which requires special attention in the design of vehicles .
Material and design requirements for front fender :
Material requirements : The front fender is usually made of weather-aging resistant material with good formability. The front fender of some models is made of plastic material with certain elasticity, which not only enhances the cushioning performance of the components, but also improves the driving safety .
