[0002] With the continuous progress of automobile technology and the development of highways, the driving speed of automobiles is increasing, and when the automobile is driving at high speed, it also brings huge air resistance.

[0003] In order to alleviate the problem of air resistance, people use fairing equipment. The fairing is a kind of automobile parts installed above the cab of a truck or a tractor, which is an air guide device. Its main function is to reduce the air resistance caused by the height difference between the cab and the carriage, so as to reduce the air resistance received by the automobile when driving at high speed, and further reduce the fuel consumption rate. For large volume, high speed, large wind area and poor streamline truck or van semi-trailer, the fairing is very important. It not only improves fuel economy, but also reduces noise and pollution of the automobile to some extent.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This invention proposes an intelligent adjustable universal fairing, including a fairing and a control module. The fairing is installed on the top of the vehicle cab, and the control module is electrically connected to the fairing. The fairing includes a left component 1, a middle component 2, a right component 3, multiple sets of reinforcing ribs 4, two sets of height adjustment mechanisms 5, and multiple width adjustment mechanisms 6. The left component 1 is sleeved on the left end of the middle component 2, and the right component 3 is sleeved on the right end of the middle component 2. The middle component 2 is slidably connected to the left component 1 and the right component 3 respectively. The waistline 7 of the left component 1 and the right component 3 is slidably connected by sleeve. The height adjustment mechanism 5 and the width adjustment mechanism 6 are both fixedly connected to the reinforcing ribs 4 and are both located below the reinforcing ribs 4.

[0024] Each set of reinforcing ribs 4 is disposed inside the air guide and arranged in parallel from low to high.

[0025] The number of reinforcing ribs 4 is consistent with the number of width adjustment mechanisms 6, and each width adjustment mechanism 6 is located directly below the midpoint of the corresponding reinforcing rib 4.

[0026] The two sets of height adjustment mechanisms 5 are symmetrically arranged below the two sides of the reinforcing rib 4 at the highest point.

[0027] The height adjustment mechanism 5 includes a support base 51, a first electric push rod 52, and a connecting member 53. The first electric push rod 52 is fixedly connected to the support base 51 and is located above the support base 51. The connecting member 53 is disposed at the top of the first electric push rod 52.

[0028] The support base 51 is fixed to the top of the connected vehicle cab, and the connecting member 53 connects to the reinforcing rib 4 so as to be fixedly connected to the fairing.

[0029] In this embodiment, the height adjustment of the fairing is achieved through two sets of height adjustment mechanisms 5. Specifically, when it is necessary to raise the height of the fairing, the first electric push rod 52 rises and drives the connecting member 53 to lift the fairing.

[0030] The width adjustment mechanism 6 includes two sets of racks 61, gears 62, a drive motor 63, a second electric push rod 64, and a base 65. The second electric push rod 64 is fixedly connected to the base 65 and is located above the base 65. The two sets of racks 61, gears 62, and drive motors 63 are all arranged on the upper part of the second electric push rod 64. Each set of racks 61 meshes with the gears 62 and is arranged on both sides of the gears 62. The output end of the drive motor 63 is fixedly connected to the shaft of the gears 62.

[0031] The end of the rack 61 furthest from the drive motor 63 is bolted to the corresponding left component 1 and right component 3 respectively.

[0032] In this embodiment, the drive motor 63 drives the gear 62 to rotate and drive the rack 61. The relative translational movement of the rack 61 drives the left component 1 and the right component 3, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the middle component 2, thus completing the width adjustment of the fairing to adapt to different cab widths.

[0033] The control module includes an airspeed detection module 8, a fairing position detection module 9, a machine vision module 10, and a central control processor 11. The airspeed detection module 8 is located at the front of the vehicle cab, the fairing position detection module 9 is located at the bottom of the rear end of the fairing, the machine vision module 10 is located at the top of the rear end of the fairing, and the central control processor is located in the vehicle cab.

[0034] For details of this implementation, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The airspeed detection module 8 detects the airflow speed during vehicle operation and transmits this speed data to the central control processor 11. This allows the central control processor 11 to determine the optimal height position of the fairing under the current airflow speed. This module is installed at the front of the cab. The fairing position detection module 9 detects the width and height of the fairing in real time. This module is installed at the rear of the fairing. The machine vision module 10 detects the height difference between the cargo and the cab, facilitating the driver's observation of the cargo. This module is installed at the rear of the fairing. The central control processor 11 processes the signals from the airspeed detection module 8, the fairing position detection module 9, and the machine vision module 10. It then uses algorithms to calculate the optimal height position of the fairing under the current cargo height and airflow speed. Finally, it sends control commands to the driver and the adjustment control module. The driver can manually adjust the fairing or automatically adjust its height and width by executing control commands from the central control processor 11 through the adjustment control module.

[0035] The above description discloses only one preferred embodiment of the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the processes of the above embodiments can be implemented, and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the invention.
