Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vehicles, and in particular to a spoiler for a vehicle and a vehicle having the spoiler. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, vehicles have become one of the most important means of transportation for people. When a vehicle travels on the road, the surrounding airflow creates relative motion with the vehicle, causing aerodynamic effects. Vehicles are generally designed with a curved top and a flat bottom. The air velocity passing over the top of the vehicle is greater than the air velocity passing under the bottom. As a result, the downward air pressure acting on the top of the vehicle is less than the upward air pressure acting on the bottom. The resulting lift reduces the vehicle's grip and reduces its driving stability.
[0003] To address this issue, spoilers are often installed on vehicle tailgates to prevent the rear of the vehicle from being lifted by lift during high-speed driving. The spoiler causes the airflow passing through the vehicle to sink at high speed at the rear, reducing the lift force on the rear end and increasing the vehicle's grip on the ground, thereby enhancing driving performance, handling stability, comfort, and driving safety.
[0004] Existing tailgates are often made of plastic, allowing for diverse tailgate designs. This not only reduces vehicle weight and improves performance, but also reduces shielding of signals from smart sensors and other devices. Furthermore, existing technologies often employ through-type taillights to enhance vehicle aesthetics. However, the choice of plastic and the placement of through-type taillights reduce the tailgate's structural strength. When a spoiler is installed on a tailgate, the heavy linkage mechanism driving the spoiler can easily cause the tailgate to deform, fall, open and close poorly, or even crack and damage.
[0005] Therefore, this field needs a new technical solution to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the technical problem of tailgates with spoilers being susceptible to deformation in the prior art, the present invention provides a spoiler for a vehicle. The spoiler comprises: a spoiler; a linkage mechanism connected to the spoiler to drive its movement; a base adapted to be secured to the vehicle's tailgate, the base having a linkage mounting slot formed therein for accommodating the linkage mechanism; and a connecting bracket secured to the bottom of the linkage mounting slot, securing the linkage mechanism to the tailgate via the linkage bracket.
[0007] The spoiler device for a vehicle of the present invention includes a spoiler, a connecting rod mechanism, a base, and a connecting bracket. The connecting rod mechanism is connected to the spoiler to drive its movement, thereby conveniently achieving the raising and lowering and angle adjustment of the spoiler. The base is suitable for being fixed to the tailgate of the vehicle. A connecting rod mechanism mounting groove for accommodating the connecting rod mechanism is formed on the base. The connecting bracket is fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod mechanism mounting groove. Through this connecting bracket, the heavier connecting rod mechanism can be directly fixed to the tailgate, thereby optimizing the load transfer path and enhancing the connection strength between the spoiler and the tailgate. In addition, the connecting bracket is fixed to the base, which can also appropriately enhance the mechanical strength of the base, further improving the stability of the structure. Therefore, the spoiler device of the present invention can effectively solve the problem of the tailgate being easily deformed and damaged.
[0008] In the preferred technical solution for the above-mentioned spoiler for a vehicle, the connecting bracket includes: a transverse section that rests against the bottom wall of the connecting rod mechanism mounting slot and is fixedly connected to the connecting rod mechanism and the tailgate; and a vertical section that extends from the end of the transverse section toward a side near the base and is fixed to the side wall of the connecting rod mechanism mounting slot. This arrangement provides the entire connecting bracket with a generally L-shaped shape, simplifying its structure. Furthermore, the transverse section is configured to rest against the bottom wall of the connecting rod mechanism mounting slot to effectively support the connecting rod mechanism housed within the connecting rod mechanism mounting slot. Furthermore, the transverse section is fixedly connected to the connecting rod mechanism and the tailgate, respectively, and can transfer the weight of the connecting rod mechanism and the spoiler connected to the connecting rod mechanism to the tailgate via the connecting bracket, thereby improving the connection strength between the spoiler and the tailgate.
[0009] In the preferred technical solution of the spoiler for a vehicle, a plurality of mounting holes are formed in the transverse section at intervals from each other, and through holes are formed in the bottom wall to match the plurality of mounting holes. This arrangement facilitates connection between the transverse section and the linkage mechanism.
[0010] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned spoiler for a vehicle, a tailgate fixing hole is formed at the end of the transverse section, spaced apart from the plurality of mounting holes, and is used to fix the connecting bracket to the tailgate. The provision of the tailgate fixing hole facilitates fixing the connecting bracket to the tailgate.
[0011] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned vehicle spoiler, the tailgate fixing hole is configured to allow an adaptive nut to pass therethrough to secure the connecting bracket to the tailgate. The provision of the adaptive nut facilitates adjustment of the tightening degree of the fastener, allowing loads to be conveniently transferred to the tailgate via the connecting bracket.
[0012] In the preferred technical solution of the spoiler for a vehicle, a mounting groove is formed on a side of the base bracket near the rear of the vehicle, and a plurality of spaced-apart fixing holes are formed in the mounting groove. The fixing holes are used to secure the base bracket to the tailgate. This arrangement facilitates the base bracket to be secured to the tailgate.
[0013] In the preferred technical solution for the aforementioned vehicle spoiler, a decorative panel is secured to the base. The panel's shape matches the mounting slot and is configured to cover the mounting slot and conceal the fixing holes. When mounted on the base, the decorative panel is flush with the base's upper surface. The provision of the decorative panel not only conceals the fixing holes, enhancing the overall aesthetics, but also protects exposed fasteners from corrosion. Furthermore, the flushness of the decorative panel with the base's upper surface allows the panel to form a complete exterior surface, further enhancing the aesthetics.
[0014] In the preferred technical solution of the above-mentioned spoiler for a vehicle, the mounting groove is connected to the connecting rod mounting groove, and a drainage hole is formed on the bottom wall. This arrangement allows accumulated water in the mounting groove to flow into the connecting rod mounting groove and drain out of the drainage hole, preventing the accumulated water from corroding the fasteners due to failure to drain in time.
[0015] In the preferred technical solution for the above-mentioned vehicle spoiler device, the second end of the linkage mechanism, distal from the linkage mounting slot, is fixed to the connection portion of the spoiler. An annular protrusion is formed around the connection portion. A cover is formed on the second end, cooperating with the annular protrusion to cover the connection portion. The provision of the annular protrusion meets regulatory requirements for wide-angle adjustment of the spoiler. The provision of the cover not only prevents the connection portion from being exposed, improving the aesthetics, but also appropriately offsets the change in wind resistance caused by the provision of the annular protrusion.
[0016] To address the technical problem of tailgates with spoilers in the prior art being susceptible to deformation, the present invention provides a vehicle. The vehicle comprises a tailgate; and a spoiler for a vehicle as described in any one of the above items, the spoiler for a vehicle being secured to the tailgate. By employing any one of the above spoilers for a vehicle, the vehicle of the present invention not only improves vehicle driving performance but also effectively prevents tailgate deformation.

For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they may refer to direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediate medium, or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] To address the technical problem of tailgates with spoilers in the prior art being susceptible to deformation, the present invention provides a spoiler 2 for a vehicle 1. The spoiler 2 includes a spoiler 40; a linkage 30 connected to the spoiler 40 to drive its movement; a base 20 adapted to be secured to the tailgate 10 of the vehicle 1 and having a linkage mounting groove 21 formed therein for accommodating the linkage 30; and a connecting bracket 50 secured to the bottom of the linkage mounting groove 21, thereby securing the linkage 30 to the tailgate 10 via the connecting bracket 50.
[0030] In one or more embodiments, the vehicle 1 of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, a body panel (not shown), a tailgate 10, and the spoiler 2 of the present invention. The tailgate 10 is reversibly fixed to the body panel to open and close the trunk, making it easier for the user to access items. The tailgate 10 can be made of suitable materials such as PC, PET, and PA6. This not only reduces the weight of the tailgate 10 and improves the performance of the vehicle 1, but also reduces the shielding of signals from smart sensors and other sensors by the tailgate 10. The spoiler 2 is fixed to the tailgate 10 to prevent the rear of the vehicle 1 from being lifted by lift forces during high-speed driving. The spoiler 2 extends along the width of the tailgate 10 on the tailgate 10. Alternatively, the spoiler 2 can be installed on the rear roof or tailgate of the vehicle 1. In one or more embodiments, the tailgate 10 is also provided with a through-type taillight (not shown) located below the spoiler 2. The through-type taillight extends along the width of the tailgate 10. It should be noted that the vehicle 1 of the present invention can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, a gasoline-powered vehicle, or other suitable vehicle. The vehicle 1 may be a sedan, an SUV, an MPV or other suitable vehicles.
[0031] Figure 1 FIG is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of the spoiler device for a vehicle according to the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the spoiler device 2 of the present invention includes a base 20, a connecting rod mechanism 30, a spoiler 40 and a connecting bracket 50. The base 20 is fixed to the tailgate 10. Figure 1In the orientation shown, the linkage mechanism 30 is located above the base 20, with one end of the linkage mechanism 30 connected to the base 20 and the other end connected to the spoiler 40. The linkage mechanism 30 is used to drive the spoiler 40 toward or away from the base 20. When the vehicle 1 is traveling at a low speed, the linkage mechanism 30 drives the spoiler 40 toward the base 20. The base 20 covers the base 20 and forms a smooth surface together with the outer surface of the tailgate 10, which has no effect on the wind resistance of the vehicle 1. When the vehicle 1 is traveling at a high speed, the linkage mechanism 30 drives the spoiler 40 away from the base 20, forming a channel between the spoiler 40 and the tailgate 10 that allows air to flow through, thereby reducing lift and improving the stability of the vehicle 1 during driving. In one or more embodiments, the linkage mechanism 30 can also adjust the angle at which the spoiler 40 is deployed to further adjust the lift applied to the rear of the vehicle 1.
[0032] Figure 2 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a bottom bracket of a spoiler device for a vehicle according to the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the bottom bracket 20 is generally along the width direction of the tailgate 10 (based on Figure 2 The bottom bracket 20 has an arched design that is high in the middle and low on both sides, which can make the appearance of the bottom bracket 20 more beautiful and can effectively prevent rainwater from accumulating on the bottom bracket 20. A left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and a right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b are respectively formed at both ends of the bottom bracket 20. The left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b are symmetrical with respect to the vertical center line of the bottom bracket 20. Each of the left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b extends to a side away from the spoiler 40 to form a space for accommodating the corresponding connecting rod mechanism 30. Specifically, each of the left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b includes a side wall 212 extending downward from the body of the bottom bracket 20 and a bottom wall 211 located at the end of the side wall 212.
[0033] Continue to see Figure 2 In one or more embodiments, four through holes 2111 spaced apart from each other are formed on the bottom wall 211. Each through hole 2111 can be matched with a corresponding mounting hole 512 on the connecting bracket 50 to fix the connecting rod mechanism 30 to the connecting bracket 50. Alternatively, the number of through holes 2111 can also be set to other numbers more or less than four. A drainage hole 2112 is also formed on the bottom wall 211, which is spaced apart from the connecting bracket mounting hole 2111. The drainage hole 2112 is in the shape of a roughly waist-shaped hole, or other suitable shape. The drainage hole 2112 can be connected to a suitable drain pipe (not shown in the figure) to drain the accumulated water in a timely manner.
[0034] Continue to see Figure 2In one or more embodiments, support holes 2121 are further formed in the side walls 212 to further enhance the connection strength of the connecting rod mechanism 30. Specifically, the support holes 2121 are located on the opposite side walls 212 of the left connecting rod mechanism mounting slot 21a and the right connecting rod mechanism mounting slot 21b. Each support hole 2121 allows the connecting post 311 of the connecting rod mechanism 30 to pass therethrough and can be connected with a suitable fastener (e.g., a nut), thereby enhancing the structural stability of the connecting rod mechanism 30 when mounted on the base 20.
[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in one or more embodiments, a mounting groove 22 is further formed on the base 20. Figure 2 In the illustrated orientation, the mounting slot 22 extends generally in the left-right direction. The mounting slot 22 extends from the left linkage mounting slot 21a to the right linkage mounting slot 21b. That is, the mounting slot 22 is connected to the left linkage mounting slot 21a and the right linkage mounting slot 21b, respectively. In the assembled state, the mounting slot 22 is positioned on one side of the rear of the vehicle 1. Five spaced-apart fixing holes 221 are formed in the mounting slot 22. Fasteners (not shown) can be passed through the fixing holes 221 from top to bottom, conveniently attaching the base bracket 20 to the tailgate 10 and improving assembly efficiency. Fasteners include, but are not limited to, screws and bolts. In one or more embodiments, the fasteners are coated with a suitable sealant to both seal the fixing holes 221 and prevent corrosion from rainwater. Alternatively, the number of fixing holes 221 may be greater or less than five. In one or more embodiments, the mounting slot 22 also includes four spaced-apart decorative panel mounting holes 222. Preferably, each decorative plate mounting hole 222 is located between two adjacent fixing holes 221. Each decorative plate mounting hole 222 has a generally rectangular shape with rounded corners. Each decorative plate mounting hole 222 allows a corresponding snap-in protrusion (not shown) on the decorative plate 23 to be inserted therein, thereby snapping the decorative plate 23 to the base 20. Alternatively, the number of decorative plate mounting holes 222 may be set to a number greater or less than four. Alternatively, the decorative plate 23 and the base 20 may be connected using other suitable methods such as bonding. In one or more embodiments, snap-in grooves 223 are further formed on the left and right sides of the mounting slot 22 (located to the left of the left link mechanism mounting slot 21a and to the right of the right link mechanism mounting slot 21b, respectively). Each snap-in groove 223 cooperates with a latch (not shown) on the decorative plate 23 to further enhance the secure connection between the decorative plate 23 and the base 20.
[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in one or more embodiments, a decorative panel 23 is also disposed over the mounting slot 22. The decorative panel 23 can be made of a suitable resin (e.g., PC, PET, etc.). The decorative panel 23 extends along the length of the mounting slot 22, and its shape matches the mounting slot 22. When the decorative panel 23 is overlaid on the mounting slot 22, it is flush with the upper surface of the base 20, forming a complete surface with the upper surface of the base 20, thereby enhancing the aesthetics and aerodynamic performance of the vehicle 1. Furthermore, the decorative panel 23 overlaid on the mounting slot 22 can also conceal the fixing holes 221 and the fasteners secured thereto. The decorative panel 23 is formed with a plurality of latching protrusions (not shown) and a plurality of latching claws (not shown). Each latching protrusion engages with a corresponding decorative panel mounting hole 222, and each latch engages with a corresponding latching groove 223, thereby conveniently and securely securing the decorative panel 23 to the mounting slot 22.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the spoiler 2 has two linkage mechanisms 30. These two linkage mechanisms 30 are respectively located in the left linkage mechanism mounting slot 21a and the right linkage mechanism mounting slot 21b of the base 20. In one or more embodiments, the linkage mechanism 30 is composed of a plurality of connecting rods (not shown) connected in sequence, and the plurality of connecting rods are rotatably connected to each other to control the approach or retreat of the spoiler 40 to the base 20. The linkage mechanism 30 has a first end 31 connected to the base 20 and a second end 32 connected to the spoiler 40. Specifically, the first end 31 abuts against the upper surface of the bottom wall 211 and is provided with a fastening hole that allows a fastener to pass therethrough. The fastening hole can be opposite to a corresponding through hole 2111 on the bottom wall 211 and a mounting hole 512 on the connecting bracket 50 located below the bottom wall 211, so that the connecting rod bracket 30, the bottom wall 211, and the connecting bracket 50 can be connected by a fastener. In one or more embodiments, a connecting post 311 extending substantially in the left-right direction is formed on the first end 31. The connecting post 311 can be inserted into the corresponding supporting hole 2121 to further improve the stability of the connection between the link mechanism 30 and the base 20.
[0038] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the embodiment of the spoiler and the connecting rod mechanism of the spoiler device for vehicles of the present invention. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the spoiler 40 is a roughly rectangular plate-shaped structure. The spoiler 40 is connected to the connecting rod mechanism 30 on the left and right sides respectively. Specifically, on the side of the spoiler 40 close to the bottom bracket 20 (based on Figure 1A connecting portion 41 is formed on the lower surface (as shown). The connecting portion 41 is connected to the second end 32 of each linkage 30. In one or more embodiments, an annular protrusion 42 is formed around the connecting portion 41, extending downward from the lower surface of the spoiler 40. The provision of the annular protrusion 42 allows the spoiler 40 to be adjusted at a wide angle while complying with regulatory requirements for external projections. The extension height of the annular protrusion 42 can be adjusted according to actual needs.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in one or more embodiments, a cover plate 321 is formed on the second end 32 of the connecting rod mechanism 30 and is insertable into the annular protrusion 42. The cover plate 321 can be made of a suitable resin material (e.g., PC, PET, etc.). The provision of the cover plate 321 facilitates the connection between the connecting rod mechanism 30 and the spoiler 40, covers the connection portion 41, and improves aerodynamic performance that is otherwise reduced by the provision of the annular protrusion 42. The shape of the cover plate 321 matches the annular protrusion 42 so that the cover plate 321 can be installed within the annular protrusion 42 to cover the connection portion 41. The cover plate 321 is formed with two spaced-apart cover plate connection holes 3211. The provision of the cover plate connection holes 3211 allows for fasteners to be used to conveniently secure the cover plate 321 to the spoiler 40. The fasteners include, but are not limited to, screws, bolts, etc. In one or more embodiments, a connection plate (not shown) is also formed within the cover plate 321. When in the assembled state, the connecting plate abuts against the spoiler 40, and the fasteners pass through the cover plate 321 and the connecting plate in sequence to fix the connecting rod mechanism 30 to the spoiler 40. The setting of the connecting plate can effectively improve the reliability of the connection between the connecting rod mechanism 30 and the spoiler 40.
[0040] Figure 4 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of an embodiment of a base and a connecting bracket of a spoiler for a vehicle according to the present invention; Figure 5 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a base and a connecting bracket of a spoiler device for a vehicle according to the present invention; Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment of a connecting bracket of a spoiler device for a vehicle according to the present invention. Figure 4-Figure 6As shown, in one or more embodiments, the connecting bracket 50 includes two brackets fixed to the bottom of the left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b, respectively. Alternatively, the connecting bracket 50 may also include only one bracket fixed to the bottom of the left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a or the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b. The connecting bracket 50 is respectively connected to the connecting rod mechanism 30 and the tailgate 10 to optimize the load transfer path, so that the load brought by the connecting rod mechanism 30 is transferred to the tailgate 10 through the connecting bracket 50 connected thereto. Furthermore, the connecting bracket 50 is fixed to the left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and / or the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b, which can also improve the mechanical strength of the base 20. Therefore, the spoiler 2 of the present invention can effectively solve the problem of the tailgate 10 being easily deformed and damaged.
[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, in one or more embodiments, the connecting bracket 50 includes a transverse section 51 and a vertical section 52 connected to each other. The transverse section 51 abuts against the bottom wall 211 of the connecting rod mechanism mounting groove (including the left connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21a and / or the right connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21b). Specifically, the upper surface of the transverse section 51 abuts against the lower surface of the corresponding bottom wall 211. The vertical section 52 extends from the end 511 of the transverse section to the side close to the base 20. Therefore, the entire connecting bracket 50 has a roughly L-shaped shape, which gives it a simple structure. The vertical section 52 is fixed together with the side wall 212 of the connecting rod mechanism mounting groove 21. The fixing method includes but is not limited to welding, riveting, screwing, etc.
[0042] Continue to see Figure 6 In one or more embodiments, mounting holes 512 are formed in the transverse section 51, corresponding to the plurality of through holes 2111. Fasteners (not shown) are sequentially passed through the mounting holes 512, through holes 2111, and fastening holes in the connecting rod mechanism 30 to secure the connecting bracket 50, the base 20, and the connecting rod mechanism 30 together. Fasteners include, but are not limited to, bolts, nuts, washers, and the like.
[0043] Continue to see Figure 6 In one or more embodiments, a tailgate fixing hole 513 spaced apart from the mounting hole 512 is further formed on the transverse section 51. The tailgate fixing hole 513 is located at the end 511 of the transverse section. The tailgate fixing hole 513 cooperates with a suitable fastener (not shown in the figure) and the adaptive nut 60 to conveniently fix the connecting bracket 50 to the tailgate 10. In the assembled state, the adaptive nut 60 is located between the transverse section 51 and the tailgate 10, and the fastener passes through the tailgate 10, the adaptive nut 60 and the connecting bracket 50 in sequence from bottom to top. The provision of the adaptive nut 60 not only makes it possible to conveniently fix the connecting bracket 50 to the tailgate 10, but also makes it possible to flexibly adjust the tightness of the fastener so that the load can be conveniently transferred to the tailgate 10 through the connecting bracket 50.
