What is a car front fender
The front fender of an automobile is an outer body panel mounted on the front wheels of an automobile. Its main function is to cover the wheels and ensure that the front wheels have enough room to turn and jump. The front fender is usually made of plastic or metal, and its design takes into account the tire model and size to ensure that there is no interference when the front wheel turns and jacks .
Structure and function
The front fender is located under the front windshield, next to the front end of the vehicle, usually on the upper part of the left and right front wheels of the car, specifically in the raised brow area. Its main functions include:
sand and mud sputtering : The front fender effectively prevents the sand and mud rolled up by the wheels from splashing on the bottom of the car .
reduce drag coefficient : Based on the principle of fluid mechanics, the design of front fender is helpful to reduce drag coefficient and improve vehicle stability .
Materials and connections
The front fender is usually connected with screws due to the high probability of collision. Its material is mostly metal, but some models are made of plastic or carbon fiber .
Design and inspection techniques
When designing the front fender, designers use a "wheel runout diagram" to verify that the design size is appropriate and ensure that the front wheels have enough room to turn and jump. In addition, with the development of technology, inspection tools are also improving. For example, Ningbo Jinruitai Automobile Equipment Co., Ltd. has obtained a patent for the detection of front fender windscreen, which includes multiple detection devices to more accurately detect the installation and quality of front fender .
The main functions of the front fender include the following aspects :
Prevent sand and mud from splashing to the bottom of the carriage : the front fender can effectively prevent the sand and mud rolled up by the wheels from splashing to the bottom of the carriage, thereby protecting the chassis of the car and reducing the wear and corrosion of the chassis .
Optimize streamline design, reduce drag coefficient : The front fender through the principle of fluid mechanics design, can optimize the vehicle streamline design, reduce drag coefficient, to ensure that the vehicle running more smoothly .
Protecting critical vehicle components : The front fenders are located above the wheels and provide sufficient space for the steering function of the front wheels while protecting critical vehicle components .
to ensure driving stability : The front fender is designed with aerodynamic considerations in mind to ensure the stability of the vehicle .
Material and structural characteristics of 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 .
Structural features : The front fender is usually divided into an outer plate part and a reinforcing part. The outer plate part is exposed on the side of the vehicle, and the reinforcing part is arranged along the parts adjacent to the outer plate part. A matching part is formed between the edge part of the outer plate and the strengthening part, which makes the fender both strong and has a certain elastic deformation ability .
