[0049] The accompanying drawings have illustrated specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to specific embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] This application provides a tail fin system mounting device. Please refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is an axonometric view of a tail fin system mounting device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a tail fin system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the provided tail wing system mounting equipment. The tail wing system mounting equipment 10 is used to install the tail wing system 20, which includes a tail wing lifting mechanism 21 and a tail wing trim panel 22.

[0052] Here, the rear wing system 20 can be a retractable rear wing, and the rear wing retraction mechanism 21 is used to realize the retraction function. The rear wing retraction mechanism 21 includes a retraction drive structure, such as a motor. The rear wing trim 22 has an inner surface and an outer surface opposite to the inner surface. The inner surface of the rear wing trim 22 is connected to the rear wing retraction mechanism 21. When the rear wing system 20 is open, the rear wing retraction mechanism 21 rises, and the rear wing trim 22 can reduce the lift at the rear of the vehicle, increasing the stability of the vehicle at high speeds. When the rear wing system 20 is closed, the rear wing retraction mechanism 21 descends, and the rear wing trim 22 matches the appearance of the vehicle body, serving a certain decorative function.

[0053] The tail wing system mounting device 10 includes: a base 11, a support mechanism 12, a limiting mechanism 13, and a positioning mechanism 14 located on the base 11.

[0054] The support mechanism 12 is used to support the tail wing trim 22. Here, the support mechanism 12 contacts the outer surface of the tail wing trim 22, so that the inner surface of the tail wing trim 22 faces away from the base 11, so that the second connecting hole K2 on the inner surface of the tail wing trim 22 is exposed. The upper surface of the support mechanism 12 can match the shape of the tail wing trim 22 to facilitate stability when supporting the tail wing trim 22. For example, the outer surface of the tail wing trim 22 can be curved, and correspondingly, the upper surface of the support mechanism 12 can also be curved.

[0055] The limiting mechanism 13 is configured to limit the rear wing trim 22 in a first direction X1 and a second direction X2 after the rear wing trim 22 is positioned on the support mechanism 12, with the second direction X2 intersecting the first direction X1. Here, the first direction X1 can be a direction parallel to the length direction of the rear wing trim 22, and the second direction X2 can be a direction parallel to the width direction of the rear wing trim 22. When the rear wing system 20 is mounted on the vehicle body, the first direction X1 can be the left-right direction of the vehicle, and the second direction X2 can be the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The limiting mechanism 13 can limit the position of the rear wing trim 22 in the two intersecting directions, thereby improving the stability of mounting the rear wing lifting mechanism 21 on the rear wing trim 22.

[0056] The positioning mechanism 14 is configured to position the tail wing lift mechanism 21 on the side of the tail wing trim 22 away from the support mechanism 12 after the tail wing lift mechanism 21 is located, so that the first connecting hole K1 on the tail wing lift mechanism 21 communicates with the second connecting hole K2 on the tail wing trim 22. Here, since the position of the tail wing trim 22 in the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 is limited by the limiting mechanism 13, positioning the tail wing lift mechanism 21 on the tail wing trim 22 by the positioning mechanism 14 ensures that the positions of the tail wing lift mechanism 21 and the tail wing trim 22 in the first direction X1 and the second direction X2 are accurate. The communicating first connecting hole K1 and the second connecting hole K2 can be connected by bolts, so that the tail wing lift mechanism 21 and the tail wing trim 22 can be assembled into the tail wing system 20.

[0057] In summary, this application provides a rear wing system mounting device, wherein the limiting mechanism can limit the rear wing trim panel in a first direction and a second direction respectively, thereby preventing relative displacement of the rear wing trim panel. When the positioning mechanism positions the rear wing lifting mechanism, the limiting mechanism can further ensure the accuracy of the positioning, thus ensuring the installation accuracy and stability of the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel, facilitating their assembly into a rear wing system without requiring separate mounting devices for the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel. Therefore, using this rear wing system mounting device to position and install the rear wing system not only ensures the stability and motion performance of the rear wing system, but also avoids scratching the vehicle body as the mounting device does not need to contact the vehicle body.

[0058] The positioning mechanism is explained below:

[0059] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 An enlarged schematic diagram of the tail fin system mounting equipment provided. Figure 5 It can be Figure 3 (Enlarged schematic diagram of the tail fin system installation equipment in area Q1) Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A cross-sectional structural diagram of the provided tail fin system mounting equipment. Figure 5 It can be Figure 4 (A cross-sectional view of the provided tail fin system installation equipment at A1-A1) The positioning mechanism 14 includes: a mounting bracket 141, a first drive component 142, and a positioning sleeve 143.

[0060] Mounting bracket 141 is fixed to base 11. Mounting bracket 141 can suspend the first drive component 142 and positioning sleeve 143 above the tail wing lifting mechanism 21, so that the positioning sleeve 143 can move in the direction toward base 11. Mounting bracket 141 can be a lifting mounting bracket, which can facilitate the placement of tail wing trim and tail wing lifting mechanism on support mechanism 12, and can be adapted to connecting rods 211 of different heights to ensure that positioning sleeve 143 can be fitted onto connecting rod 211 for positioning.

[0061] The first driving member 142 is fixed on the mounting bracket 141 and connected to the positioning sleeve 143. The first driving member 142 is used to drive the positioning sleeve 143 to move. In an exemplary embodiment, the first driving member 142 may include a handle 1421, a transmission structure 1422, and a guide groove 1423. The transmission structure 1422 is connected to both the handle 1421 and the sleeve 143. When the handle 1421 rotates, it drives the sleeve to move via the transmission structure 1422. The sleeve 143 is located in the guide groove 1423, which restricts the movement of the sleeve 143 towards the base 11. The transmission structure 1422 can have various structures; for example... Figure 5 The transmission structure 1422 shown is a four-bar linkage. The transmission structure provided in this embodiment can also be a spring. The state of the spring can be changed by rotating the handle 1421, thereby driving the positioning sleeve 143 to move.

[0062] The first driving member 142 is configured to, after the tail wing lifting mechanism 21 is located on the side of the tail wing trim 22 away from the support mechanism 12, drive the positioning sleeve 143 to move in the direction toward the base 11, so that at least a portion of the connecting rod 211 on the tail wing lifting mechanism 21 is located inside the positioning sleeve 143. Thus, the positioning sleeve 143 can determine the position of the tail wing lifting mechanism 21 on the tail wing trim 22 by restricting the degrees of freedom of the connecting rod 211 in the first direction X1 and the second direction X2, thereby improving the accuracy of positioning.

[0063] After the rear wing system 20 is assembled, the connecting rod 211 is also used to connect the rear wing system 20 to the vehicle body. For example, the connecting rod 211 can be a bolt. Therefore, the connecting rod 211 can be used for positioning when installing the rear wing lifting mechanism 21 and the rear wing system 22, as well as for positioning the rear wing system 20 on the vehicle body. This ensures the consistency of the positioning system between the assembled rear wing system 20 and the overall vehicle assembly of the rear wing system 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the left and right clearance between the rear wing system and the vehicle body, and thus improving the simplicity and accuracy of installation positioning. In addition, the installation equipment provided in this application does not need to be used during the overall vehicle assembly, avoiding scratching of the vehicle's external matching parts by the installation equipment, and avoiding the need for the corresponding workstation layout in the overall vehicle assembly.

[0064] The following is an explanation of the limit mechanism:

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 yes Figure 1 The provided front view diagram of the tail fin system mounting equipment. Figure 7 yes Figure 1The provided top view of the tail fin system installation equipment shows that the limiting mechanism 13 includes at least two first limiting components 131 and at least two second limiting components 132.

[0066] At least one of the at least two first limiting components 131 is slidably connected to the base 11, and the sliding direction of the first limiting component 131 is parallel to the first direction X1. The at least two first limiting components 131 are distributed on both sides of the support mechanism 12 in the first direction X1. When at least one first limiting component 131 slides on the base 11, it can adapt to tail wing trim panels of different lengths, so that the first limiting component 131 abuts against the edges of the tail wing trim panel on both sides in the first direction X1, thereby limiting the tail wing trim panel in the first direction X1.

[0067] At least one of the at least two second limiting components 132 is slidably connected to the base 11, and the sliding direction of the second limiting component 132 is parallel to the second direction X2. The at least two second limiting components 132 are distributed on both sides of the support mechanism 12 in the second direction X2. When at least one second limiting component 132 slides on the base 11, the second limiting component 132 can adapt to tail wing trim panels of different widths, so that the second limiting component 132 abuts against the edges of the tail wing trim panel on both sides in the second direction X2, thereby limiting the tail wing trim panel in the second direction X2.

[0068] Therefore, based on the first limiting component 131 and the second limiting component 132, the position of the tail wing trim 22 can be limited in the intersecting first direction X1 and second direction X2, thereby improving installation stability.

[0069] In the tail fin system installation device provided in this application embodiment, the number of first limiting components 131 can be two or more, and the structure of the first limiting component 131 can achieve the limiting function in various ways. The following describes the number and structure of the first limiting components 131 using an exemplary embodiment as an example:

[0070] Optionally, there are two first limiting components 131, both of which are slidably connected to the base 11. Since the two first limiting components 131 are distributed on both sides of the support mechanism 12 in the first direction X1, their sliding directions are opposite, thus enabling the first limiting components 131 to abut against the rear spoiler trim. Therefore, to improve the convenience of controlling the sliding direction of the two first limiting components 131, the limiting mechanism 13 provided in this embodiment may further include a centering component 133.

[0071] The centering component 133 is slidably connected to the base 11. The sliding direction of the centering component 133 is parallel to the second direction X2. In the second direction X2, the centering mechanism 133 is located on one side of the support mechanism 12. In the first direction X1, the centering component 133 is distributed between the two first limiting components 131 and is connected to the two first limiting components 131 respectively.

[0072] The centering component 133 is configured to move away from the support mechanism 12 after the support mechanism 12 supports the tail wing trim, thereby causing the two first limiting components 131 to move synchronously in the direction closer to the tail wing trim. In this way, the centering component 133 can synchronously drive the two first limiting components 131 to move, thereby avoiding positional deviations caused by controlling the two first limiting components 131 separately.

[0073] Optionally, in order to enable the first limiting component 131 to have both limiting and sliding functions, the first limiting component 131 may include: a mounting plate 1311 slidably connected to the base 11, and a first limiting block 1312 fixed on the mounting plate 1311.

[0074] The mounting plate 1311 is used to support the first limiting block 131 and the edge of the tail wing trim. The mounting plate 1311 and the base 11 can be slidably connected in various ways. For example, the base 11 can be provided with a first slide rail B1, and the mounting plate 1311 is provided with a first slider C1 that matches the first slide rail B1 on the side close to the base 11. The first slide rail B1 extends along the first direction X1, so that the mounting plate 1311 can slide in the first direction X1.

[0075] The first limiting block 1312 is used to abut against the edge of the rear wing trim panel, thereby limiting the displacement of the rear wing trim panel in the first direction X1. The first limiting block 1312 can include various structures. For example, the first limiting block 1312 can be "L"-shaped, which facilitates fixing the first limiting block 1312 to the mounting plate 1311. The number of first limiting blocks 1312 can also vary. For example, each mounting plate 1311 is provided with two first limiting blocks 1312 spaced apart in the second direction X2, and the two first limiting blocks 1312 can be positioned near both ends of the rear wing trim panel to improve installation stability.

[0076] Optionally, in order to enable the centering component 133 to drive the first limiting component 131 to move, the centering component 133 may include: a positioning block 1331, a pull rod 1332, and two connecting rods 1333.

[0077] The positioning block 1331 is slidably connected to the base 11. The positioning block 1331 and the base 11 can be slidably connected in a variety of ways. For example, the base 11 can be provided with a second slide rail, and the positioning block 1331 is provided with a second slider that matches the second slide rail on the side near the base 11. The second slide rail extends along the second direction X2, so that the positioning block 1331 can slide in the second direction X2.

[0078] The pull rod 1332 is connected to the side of the positioning block 1331 away from the base 11. The pull rod 1332 is used to drive the positioning block 1331 to slide along the second direction X1. The pull rod 1332 facilitates the movement of the positioning block 1331. The pull rod 1332 can be set on the central axis of the positioning block 1331, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the positioning block 1331.

[0079] One end of each of the two connecting rods 1333 is rotatably connected to the positioning block 1331, and the other end of each connecting rod 133 is rotatably connected to the two first limiting components 131 respectively. For example, both ends of the connecting rods 1333 may have pivots, thus enabling rotatable connections with the positioning block 1331 and the first limiting components 131, thereby converting the movement of the positioning block 1331 in the first direction X1 into the movement of the first limiting components 131 in the second direction X2. For the first limiting component 131 with the mounting plate 1311, the end of the connecting rod 1333 facing away from the positioning block 1331 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 1311.

[0080] Therefore, based on the specific structure of the first limiting component 131 and the centering component 133, the process of positioning the tail wing trim in the first direction X1 includes: manipulating the lever 1332 to drive the positioning block 1331 to move in the second direction X2 away from the support mechanism 12, the two connecting rods 1333 rotate, that is, the included angle between the two connecting rods 1333 becomes smaller, and then the two connecting rods 1333 drive the first limiting component 131 to move synchronously in the direction close to the tail wing trim until the first limiting block 131 on the two mounting plates 1311 abuts against the two edges of the tail wing trim respectively.

[0081] Furthermore, in the first direction X1, the distance between the centering component 133 and the two first limiting components 131 is equal, thus the centering component 133 and the two first limiting components 131 can ensure that the rear wing trim is centered in the first direction X1. For example, by setting the lengths of the two connecting rods 1333 to be the same, the two first limiting components 131 can be centered. In the rear wing system mounting device provided in this application embodiment, the number of positioning mechanisms 14 can be two. In the first direction X1, the distance between the centering component 133 and the two positioning mechanisms 14 is equal, thus the two positioning mechanisms 14 can ensure that the rear wing lifting mechanism is centered in the first direction X1. In this way, the distance between the edges of the rear wing trim and the edges of the rear wing lifting mechanism on both sides in the first direction X1 is equal. Therefore, when the rear wing system is installed on the vehicle body, the consistency of the left and right clearances between the rear wing system and the vehicle body can be ensured, thereby improving the matching of the rear wing system installed on the vehicle body and thus improving the movement performance of the rear wing system.

[0082] In the tail fin system installation device provided in this application embodiment, the number of second limiting components 132 can be two or more, and the structure of the second limiting components 132 can achieve the limiting function in various ways. The following describes the number and structure of the second limiting components 132 using an exemplary embodiment as an example:

[0083] Optionally, at least two second limiting components 132 are divided into at least one limiting group, each limiting group including two second limiting components 132 disposed opposite to each other in the second direction X2.

[0084] A second limiting component 132 in the limiting assembly includes a first bracket 1321 fixed to the base 11, and a second limiting block 1322 fixedly connected to the first bracket 1321. Since the position of the second limiting block 1322 is fixed, when the rear wing trim is placed on the support structure 12, the position of the rear wing trim can be adjusted so that one edge of the rear wing trim abuts against the second limiting block 1322.

[0085] Another second limiting component 132 in the limiting group includes: a second bracket 1323 fixed on the base 11, and a third limiting block 1324 movably connected to the second bracket 1323. The position of the third limiting block 1324 is movable; therefore, after the tail wing trim abuts against the second limiting block 1322, the position of the third limiting block 1324 can be adjusted so that the tail wing trim abuts against the third limiting block 1324. In this embodiment, the position of the third limiting block 1324 can be adjusted in various ways. For example, the second limiting component 132 may also include a second driving member 1325, which drives the third limiting block 1324 to move along a second direction X2. The second driving member 1325 may have a structure similar to the first driving member 142, which will not be elaborated further in this embodiment.

[0086] Therefore, based on the structure of the second limiting component 132, the process of positioning the tail wing trim in the second direction X2 includes: after at least two first limiting components 132 limit the tail wing trim in the first direction X1, the third limiting block 1324 can move in the direction toward the tail wing trim, so that the tail wing trim abuts against the second limiting block 1322 and the third limiting block 1324 respectively in the second direction X2.

[0087] In addition, in the tail fin system installation device provided in this application embodiment, there can be two or more limiting groups. For example, the tail fin system installation device includes two limiting groups, and the two limiting groups are symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the centering component 133, which is beneficial to improving installation stability.

[0088] The supporting structure is explained below:

[0089] Alternatively, please refer to Figure 7 The support mechanism 12 includes at least one first support block 121 and two second support blocks 122.

[0090] At least one first support block 121 is distributed between two second support blocks 122 in a first direction X1, and at least one first support block 121 is fixed to the base 11. The first support block 121 is used to support the central area of ​​the tail wing trim in the first direction X1. Figure 1 The support mechanism 12 shown includes a plurality of separate first support blocks 121, but the support mechanism 12 may also include only one first support block 121, and the embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0091] Two second support blocks 122 are respectively fixed to two mounting plates 1311 of the two first limiting assemblies 131. The second support blocks 122 on the mounting plates 1311 are closer to the first support blocks 121 relative to the first limiting blocks 131. The two second support blocks 122 are used to support the two edge regions of the tail wing trim in the first direction X1. The second support blocks 122 on the mounting plates 1311 and the first limiting blocks 131 contact the outer surface and side surface of the edge region of the tail wing trim, respectively, thereby improving installation stability.

[0092] In summary, this application provides a rear wing system mounting device, wherein the limiting mechanism can limit the rear wing trim panel in a first direction and a second direction respectively, thereby preventing relative displacement of the rear wing trim panel. When the positioning mechanism positions the rear wing lifting mechanism, the limiting mechanism can further ensure the accuracy of the positioning, thus ensuring the installation accuracy and stability of the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel, facilitating their assembly into a rear wing system without requiring separate mounting devices for the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel. Therefore, using this rear wing system mounting device to position and install the rear wing system not only ensures the stability and motion performance of the rear wing system, but also avoids scratching the vehicle body as the mounting device does not need to contact the vehicle body.

[0093] On the other hand, this application provides a tail fin system installation method, please refer to... Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flowchart of a tail wing system installation method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method uses any of the tail wing system installation devices described above. The tail wing system includes a tail wing lift mechanism and a tail wing trim panel. The method includes:

[0094] Step 801: Place the tail wing trim on the support mechanism.

[0095] Step 802: Limit the tail wing trim panel in the first and second directions using the limiting mechanism.

[0096] Step 803: Place the tail wing lifting mechanism on the side of the tail wing trim panel away from the support mechanism, and position the tail wing lifting mechanism using the positioning mechanism so that the first connecting hole on the tail wing lifting mechanism is connected to the second connecting hole on the tail wing trim panel.

[0097] In summary, this application provides a method for installing a rear wing system. In the installation equipment used in this method, the limiting mechanism can limit the rear wing trim panel in both a first and second direction, thereby preventing relative displacement of the rear wing trim panel. When the positioning mechanism positions the rear wing lifting mechanism, the limiting mechanism can further ensure the accuracy of the positioning, thus ensuring the installation accuracy and stability of the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel, facilitating their assembly into a rear wing system without requiring separate installation equipment for the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel. Therefore, using this rear wing system installation equipment to position and install the rear wing system not only ensures the stability and motion performance of the rear wing system, but also avoids scratching the vehicle body as the installation equipment does not need to contact the vehicle body.

[0098] This application provides another method for installing a tail fin system; please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 9 , Figure 9 This is a flowchart of another tail wing system installation method provided in this application embodiment. The method uses any of the tail wing system installation devices described above. The tail wing system includes a tail wing lift mechanism and a tail wing trim panel. The method includes:

[0099] Step 901: Place the tail wing trim on the support mechanism.

[0100] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 The central region of the tail wing trim 22 in the first direction X1 is located on the first support block 121, and the two edge regions of the tail wing trim 22 in the first direction X1 are respectively located on the two second support blocks 122.

[0101] Step 902: Limit the tail wing trim in the first direction and the second direction by means of the first limiting component and the centering component.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 3 The lever 1332 drives the positioning block 1331 to move in the second direction X2 away from the support mechanism 12. The two connecting rods 1333 rotate, meaning the included angle between them decreases. This causes the two connecting rods 1333 to simultaneously move the two first limiting components 131 in a direction closer to the tail wing trim 22, until the first limiting blocks 131 on the two mounting plates 1311 abut against the two edges of the tail wing trim 22, thus limiting the tail wing trim 22 in the first direction X1. For example, the limiting points corresponding to the two first limiting components 131 and the tail wing trim 22 are P3, P4, P8, and P9, respectively.

[0103] Step 903: Limit the tail wing trim in the second direction using the second limiting component.

[0104] Please refer to Figure 3By controlling the third limiting block 1324 to move in the direction toward the tail wing trim 22, the tail wing trim 22 abuts against the second limiting block 1322 and the third limiting block 1324 respectively in the second direction X2, thereby limiting the tail wing trim 22 in the second direction X2. For example, the limiting points corresponding to the four second limiting components 132 and the tail wing trim 22 are P1, P2, P6 and P7 respectively.

[0105] Step 904: Place the tail wing lifting mechanism on the side of the tail wing trim panel away from the support mechanism. The first driving member drives the positioning sleeve to move in the direction toward the base, so that at least a portion of the connecting rod on the tail wing lifting mechanism is located inside the positioning sleeve.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 3 After the rear wing lifting mechanism 21 is located on the side of the rear wing trim 22 away from the support mechanism 12, the first drive member 142 can drive the positioning sleeve 143 to move in the direction toward the base 11, so that at least a portion of the connecting rod 211 on the rear wing lifting mechanism 21 is located inside the positioning sleeve 143. This restricts the degrees of freedom of the connecting rod 211 in the first direction X1 and the second direction X2, thereby improving the positioning accuracy. For example, the positioning points corresponding to the two positioning mechanisms 14 and the rear wing trim 22 are P10 and P11, respectively. Furthermore, the positioning points (P10 and P11) when installing the rear wing lifting mechanism 21 and the rear wing system 22 are consistent with the positioning points when installing the rear wing system 20 on the vehicle body, thus improving the simplicity and accuracy of installing and positioning the rear wing system 22.

[0107] Step 905: Connect the first connecting hole on the tail wing lifting mechanism to the second connecting hole on the tail wing trim panel.

[0108] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 By using bolts to connect the through first connecting hole K1 and second connecting hole K2, the tail wing lifting mechanism 21 and tail wing trim 22 can be assembled into a tail wing system 20.

[0109] After the rear wing system 20 is assembled, it can be mounted on the vehicle body via the connecting rod 211 on the rear wing lifting mechanism 21. Furthermore, multiple spaced screws 212 are provided on the edge of the rear wing lifting mechanism 21 to connect with the vehicle body, thereby improving the stability of the rear wing system 20 mounted on the vehicle body. Moreover, compared to the prior art, which requires separate mounting devices for the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel, the installation method provided in this embodiment is simpler.

[0110] In summary, this application provides a method for installing a rear wing system. In the installation equipment used in this method, the limiting mechanism can limit the rear wing trim panel in both a first and second direction, thereby preventing relative displacement of the rear wing trim panel. When the positioning mechanism positions the rear wing lifting mechanism, the limiting mechanism can further ensure the accuracy of the positioning, thus ensuring the installation accuracy and stability of the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel, facilitating their assembly into a rear wing system without requiring separate installation equipment for the rear wing lifting mechanism and the rear wing trim panel. Therefore, using this rear wing system installation equipment to position and install the rear wing system not only ensures the stability and motion performance of the rear wing system, but also avoids scratching the vehicle body as the installation equipment does not need to contact the vehicle body.

[0111] On the other hand, this application provides a vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and a rear wing system connected to the vehicle body. The rear wing system is the rear wing system installed by the above-described rear wing system installation method.

[0112] For details regarding the vehicle itself, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 10 , Figure 10 This is a structural diagram of a portion of a vehicle according to an embodiment of this application. The vehicle body includes: a trim panel system 31, a side panel system 32, and taillights 33. The rear wing system installed in this embodiment can be positioned relative to the vehicle body using surface limiting. The surface limiting includes: the rear wing system 20 and the side panel system 32 are matched in a first direction and a third direction; the rear wing system 20 and the trim panel system 31 are matched in a second direction and a third direction; and the rear wing system 20 and the taillights 33 are matched in a third direction and a second direction. The first direction is the left-right direction of the vehicle, the second direction is the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and the third direction is the vertical direction of the vehicle. This ensures the appearance matching of the rear wing system 20 with multiple structures of the vehicle body, thus eliminating the need to separately install corresponding positioning and mounting equipment during vehicle assembly.
