[0041] Currently, the number of cars on the road is increasing, making them one of the most important means of transportation for people. In the field of automotive body accessory manufacturing technology, especially in the engine compartment, a large number of important components, including the engine, engine accessories, and various pipelines, are arranged very compactly. In reality, while cars bring convenience to travel, malfunctions can occur during vehicle use, especially after prolonged use, leading to repair hassles. Since vehicle inspection and repair often occur in the front compartment, they are particularly inconvenient when a car breaks down outdoors or in the rain.

[0042] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a rainproof structure and a car front compartment, aiming to provide a rainproof structure and a car front compartment that can shield the vehicle from rain in harsh environments and facilitate vehicle maintenance. Figures 1 to 5 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the rainproof structure provided by the present invention.

[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the rainproof structure 100 includes a mounting part 1 and a baffle 2; the mounting part 1 is disposed on the inner end face of the cover plate 201; one end of the baffle 2 is movably mounted on the mounting part 1, and the other end has a shielding state that moves away from the inner end face of the cover plate 201, and a storage state that moves close to the inner end face of the cover plate 201.

[0044] The technical solution of the present invention involves installing the rainproof structure 100 inside the cover plate 201 of the front compartment 200 of the vehicle, with the mounting part 1 provided on the inner end face of the cover plate 201. One end of the baffle 2 is movably mounted on the mounting part 1. When it rains, the cover plate 201 opens from the front compartment 200 of the vehicle, and the other end of the baffle 2 moves to a shielding state away from the inner end face of the cover plate 201, thereby providing rain protection for maintenance personnel. When maintenance is completed, the other end of the baffle 2 moves to a retracted state close to the inner end face of the cover plate 201, thus realizing the storage of the baffle 2.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The baffle 2 has a rotating part 21 at one end, which is rotatably mounted to the mounting part 1. It is understood that, in order for the baffle 2 to move to the outside of the cover 201 of the vehicle's front compartment 200 and thus provide rain protection, the baffle 2 could slide linearly from the inner end face to the outer end face of the cover 201. However, in this application, the baffle 2 has the rotating part 21 at one end, which is mounted to the mounting part 1, allowing the baffle 2 to rotate from the inner end face of the cover 201 to the outer side of the cover 201, thereby providing rain protection for the user.

[0046] Furthermore, a rotating structure 211 is formed between the rotating part 21 and the mounting part 1. The rotating structure 211 includes a rotating shaft 2111 and a rotating hole 2112 that are mutually fitted together. The rotating shaft 2111 is rotatably mounted in the rotating hole 2112. The mounting part 1 includes either the rotating shaft 2111 or the rotating hole 2112, and the rotating part 21 includes the other one of the rotating shaft 2111 or the rotating hole 2112. It is understood that, in order for the baffle 2 to rotate relative to the cover plate 201, a rotating structure 211 is formed between the rotating part 21 and the mounting part 1. The rotating structure 211 can be configured as a rotating shaft 2111 and a rotating hole 2112 that rotate in cooperation with each other. The rotating shaft 2111 is rotatably installed in the rotating hole 2112 to allow the baffle 2 to rotate relative to the cover plate 201. Specifically, the installation positions of the rotating shaft 2111 and the rotating hole 2112 are not specifically limited; one of them can be set on the rotating part 21 and the other on the mounting part 1.

[0047] In addition, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The rainproof structure 100 further includes a fixing part 3 and a support member 4; the fixing part 3 is disposed in the front compartment 200 of the vehicle; the support member 4 is movably mounted on the fixing part 3, and when the baffle 2 is in the shielding state, the support member 4 is movable to support the baffle 2. It is understood that when the baffle 2 rotates to the outside of the cover plate 201, in some embodiments, the friction between the rotating shaft 2111 and the rotating hole 2112 can be used to maintain the shielding state of the cover plate 201 without external support. However, during use, the rotating shaft 2111 and the rotating hole 2112 inevitably rub against each other, causing wear and tear, which leads to a decrease in the friction between the rotating hole 2112 and the rotating shaft 2111 until it is difficult to rely solely on the friction between the rotating shaft 2111 and the rotating hole 2112. The friction between the holes 2112 keeps the baffle 2 in the shielding state; thus, the rainproof structure 100 also includes the fixing part 3 and the support member 4; the fixing part 3 is provided in the front compartment 200 of the vehicle; the support member 4 is movably mounted on the fixing part 3, and when the baffle 2 is in the shielding state, the support member 4 is used to move to support the baffle 2, so that the baffle 2 can easily maintain the shielding state and will not be affected by the wear between the rotating shaft 2111 and the rotating hole 2112.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The support member 4 includes a support rod 41; the baffle 2 has an adjustment hole 22 through it, and the support rod 41 is inserted into the adjustment hole 22. It is understood that, in order for the baffle 2 to be supported by the support member 4 when it is in the shielded state, specifically, the support member 4 includes the support rod 41, and the baffle 2 has the adjustment hole 22 through it. When the support rod 41 is inserted into the adjustment hole 22, the rotation of the baffle 2 intersects with the extension direction of the support rod 41. Therefore, the support rod 41 can provide support for the baffle 2, keeping the baffle 2 in the shielded state.

[0049] Further, please refer to Figure 1 Multiple adjustment holes 22 are provided, and the multiple adjustment holes 22 are arranged at intervals. It can be understood that in order to enable the rotation angle of the baffle 2 relative to the cover plate 201 to be adjusted according to the user's height when the baffle 2 is in the shielding state, the support rod 41 is inserted into the adjustment hole 22. Specifically, the length of the support rod 41 is fixed, and the multiple adjustment holes 22 are arranged along the width of the baffle 2. By inserting the support rod 41 into the adjustment holes 22 at different positions, the rotation angle of the baffle 2 relative to the cover plate 201 can be adjusted.

[0050] Further, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fixing part 3 is disposed on the inner end face of the cover plate 201; the rainproof structure 100 also includes an elastic buckle 5 disposed inside the cover plate 201 to hold the support rod 41. It can be understood that the various components inside the front compartment 200 of the car are located on the inner side of the cover plate 201. Therefore, it is a relatively reasonable placement for the fixing part 3 to be disposed inside the cover plate 201. Furthermore, when the baffle 2 is in the retracted state, the support of the support rod 41 is not required, that is, the support rod 41 is also retracted into the inner end face of the cover plate 201. At the same time, in order to prevent the free end of the support rod 41 from swinging inside the front compartment 200 of the car, thereby causing abnormal noise or damage to some components, the elastic buckle 5 is also provided on the inner end face of the cover plate 201 to hold the free end of the support rod 41, thereby ensuring that the front compartment 200 of the car does not produce abnormal noise and ensuring the integrity of the components.

[0051] In addition, please refer to Figure 2 The fixing part 3 and the supporting member 4 are configured as a support group, and multiple support groups are provided, which are spaced apart. It can be understood that, in order to enhance the supporting effect of the supporting member 4 on the baffle 2, the fixing part 3 and the supporting member 4 are configured as a support group, and multiple support groups are provided, spaced apart. Thus, the weight generated by the baffle 2 is distributed among multiple support groups, thereby improving the supporting effect of the baffle 2, making it easier to maintain the shielded state, and reducing the likelihood of damage. Of course, from a cost perspective, the baffle 2 will naturally be made of lightweight materials, and two support groups are sufficient.

[0052] Furthermore, the baffle 2 includes a first layer and a second layer; the first layer is made of a waterproof membrane material; and the second layer is made of a sound-insulating and noise-reducing material. It is understood that when the baffle 2 is in the sheltered state, to improve its rain-blocking effect and reduce erosion from rainwater, the first layer of the baffle 2 is made of a waterproof membrane material. However, when the baffle 2 is in the retracted state, because the engine and other components are located inside the vehicle's front compartment 200, noise generated can easily propagate into the driver's cabin; therefore, the baffle 2 also includes a second layer, which is made of a sound-insulating and noise-reducing material.

[0053] The present invention also proposes a car front compartment 200, which includes a rainproof structure 100 with a cover plate 201. The specific structure of the rainproof structure 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the car front compartment 200 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
