Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile ventilation, and in particular relates to a waterproof, connected automobile rear side panel vent assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, the rear side vent assembly of the car generally adopts the ordinary passive vent assembly, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the vehicle door is closed, air flows through the pressure relief valve outlet, blowing the soft rubber blades (shown as 1), and the air inside the vehicle is discharged through the pressure relief valve outlet, ensuring that the pressure inside and outside the vehicle is consistent and ensuring the comfort of the passengers. Normally, the soft rubber blades of the pressure relief valve droop naturally, acting as a barrier between the inside and outside of the vehicle. However, this structure can cause the entire vehicle to flow rapidly and in large quantities when passing through flooded roads, causing water to enter the passenger compartment and causing personal injury to the occupants.

[0003] At the same time, the soft rubber blades are not arranged firmly, so there is a problem of blades falling off; in addition, when the car door is closing, the airflow impacts the soft rubber blades, and when the soft rubber blades fall, they hit the side vents, causing noise problems and affecting ride comfort.

[0004] Therefore, when the vehicle is wading, how to meet the needs of exhaust and pressure relief in the passenger compartment while improving the performance of the rear side vent assembly has become a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a waterproof, connected automobile rear side vent assembly and a vehicle, so as to solve the problems pointed out in the background art, such as the side vent assembly is not waterproof, the blades fall off, and there is hitting noise when the vehicle is wading through water.

[0006] The present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical means:

[0007] A waterproof, connected automobile rear side vent assembly includes a vent assembly and a side panel. One side of the vent assembly is fixedly connected to the side panel, and the side of the vent assembly away from the side panel is fixedly connected to an interior side panel trim. The top of the interior side panel trim has an upper air vent, and the vent assembly is provided with a lower air vent.

[0008] Furthermore, the vent assembly includes a vent body and an isolation baffle. One side of the vent body is fixedly connected to the inner side panel, and the isolation baffle is fixedly connected to the side panel. The top of the side panel serves as the upper edge of the updraft vent, and the downdraft vent is formed on the isolation baffle. This arrangement allows the updraft and downdraft vents to cooperate with each other to circulate air inside and outside the vehicle, ensuring consistent pressure inside and outside the vehicle, thereby ensuring passenger comfort.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing strip is clamped between the side panel vents and the side panel metal, which plays a sealing role and prevents water from outside the vehicle from entering the vehicle through the connection gap between the isolation baffle and the side panel metal, achieving the effect of waterproofing and isolating from the outside.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper air vent is configured as a mesh-shaped air hole, which prevents foreign matter from entering the vehicle.

[0011] Furthermore, the downwind vent is configured as a plurality of mesh holes, which can prevent foreign matter from entering the vehicle.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower edge of the vent body is 0.4m-0.6m above the ground, and the upper edge of the vent body is 0.6m-0.8m above the lower edge of the vent body. This arrangement prevents water from entering the vehicle through the height difference, achieving a sealed and waterproof effect.

[0013] A vehicle comprises a vehicle body and any of the above-described waterproof, interconnected rear side vent assemblies. This arrangement solves the problems of the side vent assembly being non-waterproof, blades falling off, and hitting noise when the vehicle is wading, thereby improving ride comfort.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The vent body, sealing strip, isolation baffle, upper air vent, lower air vent, side panel and inner side panel complement each other to solve the problems of side vent assembly not being waterproof, blades falling off and hitting noise when the vehicle is wading, thus improving ride comfort.

[0016] 2. The height difference between the upper and lower air vents, as well as the cooperation of the sealing strips, prevent water from entering the car, achieving a sealed and waterproof effect;

[0017] 3. The mesh ventilation holes at the upwind side and several mesh holes at the downwind side can prevent foreign objects from entering the car. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention discloses a waterproof, interconnected automotive rear side vent assembly, comprising a vent assembly and a side panel 4. The vent assembly comprises a vent body 1 and an isolation baffle 2. In this embodiment, the vent body 1 and isolation baffle 2 are spaced a certain distance apart to facilitate air circulation between the vehicle and the outside. One side of the vent body 1 is fixedly connected to an interior side panel 5 by screws. The top of the interior side panel 5 has an upper air vent 6. In this embodiment, the upper air vent 6 is configured as a mesh-like vent, which allows air to circulate between the vehicle and the outside while preventing the passage of foreign matter.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the isolation baffle 2 is fixedly connected to the side panel 4. In this embodiment, the isolation baffle 2 and the side panel 4 are fixed together by screws. The top of the side panel 4 is set as the upper edge of the upper air vent 6. The isolation baffle 2 is provided with a lower air vent 7, which cooperates with the upper air vent 6 to circulate air inside and outside the vehicle, ensuring consistent pressure inside and outside the vehicle and ensuring passenger comfort. The lower air vent 7 is provided with a plurality of mesh holes to prevent foreign objects from entering the vehicle.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, an air circulation channel 8 is formed between the upper air vent 6 and the lower air vent 7 for circulating gas so that the pressure inside and outside the vehicle is consistent, ensuring the comfort of the passengers in the vehicle.

[0029] like Figure 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, a sealing strip 3 is clamped between the isolation baffle 2 and the side panel 4 to play a sealing role, preventing water outside the vehicle from entering the vehicle through the connection gap between the isolation baffle 2 and the side panel 4, thereby achieving the effect of waterproofing and isolating from the outside.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the height of the lower edge of the vent body 1 from the ground is set to 0.4m-0.6m, and the height of the upper edge of the vent body 1 from the lower edge of the vent body 1 is set to 0.6m-0.8m. In this embodiment, the height of the lower edge of the vent body 1 from the ground is preferably 0.5m, and the height of the upper edge of the vent body 1 from the lower edge of the vent body 1 is preferably 0.7m, that is, the height of the upper edge of the vent body 1 from the ground is 1.2m, so that the upper air outlet 6 has a height difference of 1.2m with the ground, thereby avoiding the situation where water outside the vehicle enters the vehicle through the air circulation channel 8 between the upper air outlet 6 and the lower air outlet 7, and solves the problem that the vehicle side vent assembly is not waterproof.

[0031] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a connected side vent structure is adopted, which has the advantages of low cost and simple structure. In addition, because the soft rubber blades on the ordinary passive vents are eliminated, there will be no problem of blades hitting the side vents during movement and causing noise.

[0032] In this embodiment, a vehicle is also disclosed, including a vehicle body and a waterproof, connected automobile rear side vent assembly installed on the vehicle body, which solves the problems of the side vent assembly being not waterproof, blades falling off, and hitting noise when the vehicle is wading, thereby improving ride comfort.
