[0034] The vehicle 100 of the embodiment of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0035] As shown in the drawings, the vehicle 100 according to the embodiment of the present application comprises a vehicle body 10 and a movable cover plate assembly 20. Figure 1
[0036] The vehicle body 10 is provided with a through hole 11. The movable cover plate assembly 20 is slidable relative to the through hole 11 to open and close the through hole 11.
[0037] In the related art, the mirror cover is rotatably arranged on the vehicle body. In the process of rotating the mirror cover, the mirror cover rotates around its own boundary, that is, if the mirror cover is to operate normally, a space larger than the size of the mirror cover must be provided, and at the same time, the rotation range of the mirror cover is not hindered by other components, so that the activity space required for installing the mirror cover is relatively large, which causes certain difficulties in the selection and installation of the position of the mirror cover on the vehicle.
[0038] The mobile cover plate assembly 20 is arranged to slide relative to the through hole 11, and the mobile cover plate assembly 20 requires a small movement space for sliding, thereby increasing the optional installation positions of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 on the vehicle 100, and the mobile cover plate assembly 20 requires a small space, and the structure can be compact.
[0039] According to the vehicle 100 of the embodiment of the present application, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is arranged to slide relative to the through hole 11, and in the process of opening and closing the through hole 11 by the mobile cover plate assembly 20, the movement space required by the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is reduced, thereby increasing the optional installation positions of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 on the vehicle 100, and the space required for installing the mobile cover plate assembly 20 can also be reduced, thereby making the structure compact.
[0040] In some specific embodiments, the vehicle body 10 includes a vehicle body side panel, and the through hole 11 is arranged on the vehicle body side panel, and the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is opened and closed laterally.
[0041] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 more specifically, the vehicle body side panel includes a fender 12, and the through hole 11 is arranged on the fender 12, and the inside space of the fender 12 is utilized conveniently.
[0042] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 ( Figure 1 the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is in the closed position, Figure 5 the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is in the open position, and Figure 5 for the perspective from outside to inside, for the convenience of understanding, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is represented by a dashed line), in some embodiments, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 has a closed position and an open position, and in the process of moving the mobile cover plate assembly 20 from the closed position to the open position, any point on the mobile cover plate assembly 20 has at least a movement track away from the through hole 11.
[0043] It should be noted that any point on the mobile cover plate assembly 20 has at least a movement track away from the through hole 11, which means that the whole mobile cover plate assembly 20 will be away from the through hole 11, compared with the case that the position of the rotating shaft of the mirror cover in the related art is always unchanged, the present application is arranged to make the whole mobile cover plate assembly 20 away from the through hole 11, which facilitates the mobile cover plate assembly 20 to fit the through hole 11, and the whole mobile cover plate assembly 20 away from the through hole 11 avoids occupying a large space by rotating, and the movement space of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 can be reduced.
[0044] Specifically, any point on the moving cover plate assembly 20 has at least a moving track away from the through hole 11, which means that any point on the moving cover plate assembly 20 can only have a moving track away from the through hole 11, or can have other tracks. For example, the moving cover plate assembly 20 is a flat plate, the through hole 11 is horizontally arranged, the flat plate is vertically placed to block the through hole 11 when in the closed position, and during the movement of the flat plate from the closed position to the open position, the flat plate first moves horizontally away from the through hole 11, any point on the flat plate moves horizontally away from the through hole 11, and then the flat plate moves in the vertical direction, at which time any point on the flat plate is away from the through hole 11 in the horizontal direction.
[0045] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the moving cover plate assembly 20 has an appearance surface 21, the appearance surface 21 and the outer wall surface of the vehicle body 10 jointly form a smooth surface when the moving cover plate assembly 20 is in the closed position, and the appearance surface 21 faces the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10 when the moving cover plate assembly 20 is in the open position. By arranging the appearance surface 21 and the outer wall surface of the vehicle body 10 to jointly form a smooth surface, the appearance is improved, and when the moving cover plate assembly 20 is in the open position, the appearance surface 21 faces the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, which makes the moving cover plate assembly 20 occupy less space and makes the structure more compact compared with the scheme in which the moving cover plate assembly 20 is perpendicular to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10.
[0046] The appearance surface 21 can face the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10 in parallel, or there can be an acute angle between the appearance surface 21 and the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, that is, the moving cover plate assembly 20 as a whole is close to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, and fully utilizes the space parallel to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10.
[0047] It can be understood that the appearance surface 21 faces the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, which means that the moving cover plate assembly 20 is in the vehicle body 10, which avoids the generation of wind noise compared with the out-flap cover plate in the related art, and avoids the increase of wind resistance and the existence of the easily damaged situation of the out-flap cover plate. The moving cover plate assembly 20 of the present application is hidden in the vehicle body 10, has a sense of technology, and improves the appearance and safety.
[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the vehicle 100 further comprises a support assembly 30 arranged in the vehicle body 10, and the support assembly 30 is provided with a constraint groove 31, and the moving cover plate assembly 20 comprises a fitting part 22 which moves in the constraint groove 31. The movement of the fitting part 22 is constrained by the constraint groove 31, so that the moving cover plate assembly 20 moves according to the preset track, which is convenient for production and assembly.
[0049] In some embodiments, the distance between the constraint groove 31 and the through hole 11 gradually increases in the direction away from the through hole 11. By setting the distance between the constraint groove 31 and the through hole 11 gradually increases in the direction away from the through hole 11, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 as a whole can be spaced apart from the through hole 11 by a certain distance, facilitating the disconnection of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 from the through hole 11, and making the movement of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 more smooth.
[0050] In some embodiments, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 includes at least two cooperating portions 22, and the at least two cooperating portions 22 are arranged at intervals in the width direction of the mobile cover plate assembly 20. The mobile cover plate assembly 20 includes at least two constraint grooves 31, and the at least two constraint grooves 31 correspond to the at least two cooperating portions 22 one by one. The at least two constraint grooves 31 are different in shape. The at least two cooperating portions 22 correspond to the at least two constraint grooves 31 one by one, and the mobile cover plate assembly 20 as a whole is subjected to multiple constraints under the constraints of the at least two constraint grooves 31, thereby constructing multiple movement trajectories and adapting to multiple requirements.
[0051] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments, the at least two constraint grooves 31 include a first constraint groove 311 and a second constraint groove 312.
[0052] The first constraint groove 311 includes a first arc-shaped groove 3111. The second constraint groove 312 is arranged on the side of the first constraint groove 311 close to the vehicle body 10, and the second constraint groove 312 includes a straight groove 3121. The at least two cooperating portions 22 are respectively constrained by the first arc-shaped groove 3111 and the straight groove 3121, and each part of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 has a different movement trajectory, and the movement of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is more smooth.
[0053] As shown in Figure 2 In some embodiments, the straight groove 3121 is parallel to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, and the second constraint groove 312 further includes a second arc-shaped groove 3123. The second arc-shaped groove 3123 is connected to the straight groove 3121 and extends towards the vehicle body 10. By setting the straight groove 3121 parallel to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, the movement trajectory of the cooperating portion 22 constrained by the straight groove 3121 is parallel to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10, and the inner space of the vehicle body 10 is fully utilized. It can be understood that the support assembly 30 as a whole can be constructed to be more flat and close to the inner wall surface of the vehicle body 10.
[0054] The second arc-shaped groove 3123 is in communication with the straight groove 3121 and is adapted to constrain the corresponding cooperating portion 22 to smoothly enter the straight groove 3121, so that the movement of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is more smooth.
[0055] As shown in Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 includes a mobile piece 24 and a cover plate body 23.
[0056] The moving piece 24 is provided with a first matching part 241 connected with the first constraint groove 311. The cover plate body 23 is pivotally connected with the moving piece 24, and the cover plate body 23 is provided with a second matching part 231 connected with the second constraint groove 312. Through the cooperation of the cover plate body 23 and the moving piece 24, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 is avoided from being stuck, and the stability of the mobile cover plate assembly 20 in working is improved.
[0057] It can be understood that the moving piece 24 is connected with the support assembly 30 through the first matching part 241, and the first matching part 241 is constrained in the first constraint groove 311, so that the moving piece 24 moves more stably on the support assembly 30, and the probability of the moving piece 24 being stuck on the support assembly 30 is reduced. At the same time, the moving piece 24 is pivotally connected with the cover plate body 23, and the stable working moving piece 24 always drives the activity of the cover plate body 23.
[0058] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 4 , specifically, the cover plate body 23 is provided with a pivot part 232, and the moving piece 24 is provided with a connecting part 242 corresponding to the pivot part 232. The connecting part 242 is rotationally connected with the pivot part 232, and drives the cover plate body 23 to move when the moving piece 24 moves. The rotationally connected connecting part 242 and pivot part 232 make the cover plate body 23 have a certain flexibility, and the cover plate body 23 automatically adapts to the movement of the moving piece 24.
[0059] More specifically, the pivot part 232 includes a pivot column, and the connecting part 242 includes a connecting through hole. The pivot column is pivotally connected with the connecting through hole, and the structure is simple.
[0060] Referring to Figure 4 , specifically, the first matching part 241 is two, and the two first matching parts 241 are arranged at intervals on the moving piece 24. The two first matching parts 241 are connected with the same first constraint groove 311, so that the moving piece 24 moves more smoothly while being stabilized, and the moving piece 24 is avoided from being stuck.
[0061] More specifically, the matching part 22 is configured as a convex column, and the convex column is slidingly matched with the constraint groove 31.
[0062] As shown in Figure 4 , Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the mobile cover plate assembly 20 further comprises a driving piece 40 and a flexible piece 50. The driving piece 40 is arranged on the support assembly 30, and the support assembly 30 is provided with a mounting space. The flexible piece 50 is two, and the two flexible pieces 50 are installed in the mounting space and respectively engaged with the output shaft of the driving piece 40.
[0063] It should be noted that Figure 4 , andFigure 6 The dashed line represents the flexible element 50, indicating that the flexible element 50 is within the installation space.
[0064] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, there are two moving parts 24, each of which has a first end 243 and a second end 244. One end of a flexible part 50 is connected to the first end 243 of the first moving part 24, and the other end of the flexible part 50 is connected to the second end 244 of the second moving part 24. One end of another flexible part 50 is connected to the second end 244 of the first moving part 24, and the other end of the flexible part 50 is connected to the first end 243 of the second moving part 24.
[0065] It is understandable that the cooperation between the driving component 40 and the flexible component 50 drives the moving component 24 to move. The flexible component 50 has a flexible shape, which can adapt to the needs of different structures and reduce the overall structural space requirements.
[0066] Meanwhile, the two ends of the same flexible element 50 are respectively connected to the first end 243 and the second end 244 of the two moving elements 24. Only one driving element 40 is needed to drive the synchronous bidirectional movement of the two moving elements 24, which further reduces the overall space requirement and optimizes the overall structure.
[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the flexible member 50 includes: a wire rope with a meshing part, and the driving member 40 is a drive motor, the output gear of the drive motor meshing with the meshing part.
[0068] It is understandable that the flexible component 50 is installed within the installation space, and the meshing part between the flexible component 50 and the drive component 40 is also located within the installation space, so the installation space plays a role in limiting and protecting the user.
[0069] Other configurations and operations of the vehicle 100 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
