[0057] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, on the one hand, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, the vehicle includes a door 100, a rainproof member 200 and a window 300. It should be understood that the vehicle generally includes multiple doors 100, multiple rainproof members 200 and multiple windows 300, and the doors 100, rainproof members 200 and windows 300 correspond to each other one by one.

[0058] The vehicle door 100 has a window 140, and a receiving cavity 110 is provided in the vehicle door 100. The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 110 is provided with a first through hole 111 communicating with the window 140. The rainproof member 200 has waterproof and breathable properties. The rainproof member 200 is arranged opposite to the first through hole 111. The rainproof member 200 has a storage state and a rainproof state. When the rainproof member 200 is in the storage state, the rainproof member 200 is located in the receiving cavity 110. When the rainproof member 200 switches from the storage state to the rainproof state, at least a portion of the rainproof member 200 passes through the first through hole 111 from the receiving cavity 110 and covers the window 140.

[0059] The vehicle window 300 is located on the side of the rainproof member 200 facing the vehicle interior, and the vehicle window 300 can move relative to the vehicle door 100 to close or open the window 140. In some embodiments, the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity 110 is further provided with a second through hole 112 communicating with the window 140, and the second through hole 112 and the first through hole 111 are arranged side by side in the width direction of the vehicle, and both extend along the length direction of the vehicle. At least a portion of the vehicle window 300 can be raised from the second through hole 112 to cover at least a portion of the window 140. It should be understood that the vehicle window 300 can be driven by a lifting mechanism to be raised from the second through hole 112 to the window 140 or to be lowered from the second through hole 112 to the accommodating cavity 110.

[0060] When the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application is used and it rains in the environment where the vehicle is located, the vehicle window 300 can be moved to the position of the open window 140, and the rainproof member 200 can be switched from the storage state in the accommodating cavity 110 to the rainproof state covering the window 140. Since the rainproof member 200 is waterproof and breathable and the vehicle window 300 opens the window 140, after the rainproof member 200 covers the window 140, it can prevent rainwater from entering the vehicle and ensure that the air inside and outside the vehicle is kept flowing, so that the vehicle window 300 or the windshield is not easy to fog, and then the driver's driving vision will not be affected by the fog. In other words, the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present application can prevent rainwater from entering the vehicle and ensure the safety of the driver's driving.

[0061] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 The details and functions of the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application are described in more detail.

[0062] In some embodiments, the rainproof member 200 is light-transmissive, so that when the rainproof member 200 covers the window 140, normal transmission of light inside and outside the vehicle can be ensured. In some embodiments, the rainproof member 200 is light-shielding, so that when the rainproof member 200 covers the window 140, it can also play a sunscreen effect.

[0063] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle door 100 includes a vehicle door body 120 and a window frame 130, the body is provided with a receiving cavity 110, and the window frame 130 includes a first frame 131, a second frame 132 and a third frame 133 connected in sequence, the first frame 131 and the third frame 133 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the body. The first frame 131, the second frame 132, the third frame 133 and the side of the body facing away from the ground enclose a window 140.

[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rainproof member 200 includes a rainproof body 230 and a support frame 240, the support frame 240 is arranged along the circumference of the body, and the side of the support frame 240 away from the second frame 132 is connected to the driving mechanism 500. It should be noted that the support frame 240 can fix the body and play a supporting role to prevent the body from deformation.

[0065] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a rain deflector 900, which is connected to the side of the rain shield 200 facing the second frame 132 and extends toward the vehicle window 300, and the side of the rain deflector 900 close to the vehicle window 300 is flush with the side of the second through hole 112 close to the first through hole 111. When the rain shield 200 is in the storage state, the surface of the rain deflector 900 facing the accommodating cavity 110 abuts against the outer surface of the body located between the first through hole 111 and the second through hole 112; when the rain shield 200 switches from the storage state to the rainproof state, the side of the rain deflector 900 facing the vehicle window 300 abuts against the outer surface of the vehicle window 300. Therefore, the rain deflector 900 can scrape the raindrops that have fallen on the vehicle window 300 during the process of the rain shield 200 rising up, so as to drain the rainwater on the vehicle window 300 to the rain shield 200. In this way, it can ensure that the rainproof member 200 is timely rainproof and the rainwater on the vehicle window 300 can be removed to ensure that the driver can clearly see the environment outside the vehicle through the vehicle window 300, thereby improving driving safety.

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the rain deflector 900 facing away from the accommodating cavity 110 gradually tilts upward from the side connected to the rain shield 200 to the side against the vehicle window 300. Thus, rainwater on the vehicle window 300 is more easily guided to the rain shield 200 by the rain deflector 900.

[0067] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the surface of the rain deflector 900 facing away from the accommodating cavity 110 has a guide groove 910, the opening of the guide groove 910 faces away from the accommodating cavity 110, and the guide groove 910 includes a first guide groove 911, a second guide groove 912, and a third guide groove 913 that are connected in sequence. The first guide groove 911 and the third guide groove 913 are arranged opposite to each other in the length direction of the vehicle, and the groove wall of the second guide groove 912 away from the rainproof member 200 abuts against the outer surface of the vehicle window 300. The support frame 240 includes a first bracket 241 and a second bracket 242 that are arranged opposite to each other in the length direction of the vehicle, the first guide groove 911 extends toward the first bracket 241, and the second guide groove 912 extends toward the second bracket 242. With such arrangement, when the rainproof member 200 is raised, rainwater on the outer surface of the vehicle window 300 can flow from the second guide groove 912 to the first guide groove 911 and the second guide groove 912 respectively, and then fall along the first bracket 241 and the second bracket 242. This can ensure that the vehicle window 300 remains clear, and can also prevent excessive accumulation of rainwater on the body of the rainproof member 200, so that the body maintains good air permeability, facilitates air circulation inside and outside the vehicle, prevents the vehicle window 300 and the windshield from fogging, and ensures driving safety.

[0068] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a controller 400 and a driving mechanism 500. The controller 400 is signal-connected to the driving mechanism 500. The driving mechanism 500 is located in the accommodating cavity 110, and the driving mechanism 500 is connected to the rainproof member 200. The driving mechanism 500 is used to drive the rainproof member 200 to move relative to the vehicle door 100 in the height direction of the vehicle. It should be understood that the automatic lifting and lowering of the rainproof member 200 can be realized by using the controller 400 and the driving mechanism 500, which saves the user's operation and improves the user experience.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle further includes an optical rain sensor 600, which is located outside the vehicle, and the optical rain sensor 600 is signal-connected to the controller 400. It should be noted that the optical rain sensor 600 is a sensor that uses optical principles to monitor rainfall, and mainly determines the presence of raindrops by emitting light beams and receiving scattered light, and calculates the rainfall based on the number and size of raindrops. The controller 400 is used to control the drive mechanism 500 to drive the rainproof member 200 to switch from the storage state to the rainproof state when the current rainfall detected by the optical rain sensor 600 is greater than the preset rainfall. With such a setting, the rainproof member 200 can be automatically raised when it rains to prevent rain in time, and it can also simplify user operations and improve user experience.

[0070] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 500 includes a transmission assembly 510 and a driving motor 520, the driving motor 520 includes an output shaft 521, and the transmission assembly 510 includes a gear 511, a first guide member 512, a second guide member 513, a first transmission member 514, and a second transmission member 515. The gear 511 is sleeved on the output shaft 521. It should be noted that the driving motor 520 is connected to the controller 400 by signal. The first guide member 512 and the second guide member 513 are opposite and parallel in the height direction of the vehicle, and the first guide member 512 and the second guide member 513 are respectively provided with a first guide groove 5121 and a second guide groove 5131 extending in the length direction of the vehicle, and the first guide member 512 is connected to the rainproof member 200 and can move in a direction close to or away from the second guide member 513. The first end of the first transmission member 514 is meshed with the gear 511, and the second end is located in the first guide groove 5121. The two ends of the second transmission member 515 are respectively located in the first guide groove 5121 and the second guide groove 5131, and the second transmission member 515 crosses and is hinged with the first transmission member 514. With such an arrangement, the position of the rainproof member 200 can be more flexibly controlled. It should be noted that the second guide member 513 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 110. In some embodiments, the first end of the first transmission member 514 is arc-shaped, and the side of the arc facing the gear 511 has a tooth surface and meshes with the gear 511.

[0071] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting principle of the rainproof member 200 is described below: when the driving motor 520 rotates in the first direction, the gear 511 rotates synchronously with the output shaft 521 of the driving motor 520, and the gear 511 drives the first transmission member 514 to rotate in the second direction opposite to the first direction. Then, the second end of the first transmission member 514 and the end of the second transmission member 515 located in the first guide groove 5121 can move away from each other along the extension direction of the first guide groove 5121, and the first guide member 512 is also driven to move in the direction close to the second guide member 513, so that the rainproof member 200 is stored in the accommodating chamber 110. When the driving motor 520 rotates in the second direction, the gear 511 rotates synchronously with the output shaft 521 of the driving motor 520, and the gear 511 drives the first transmission member 514 to rotate in the first direction. Then, the second end of the first transmission member 514 and one end of the second transmission member 515 located in the first guide groove 5121 can approach each other along the extension direction of the first guide groove 5121, and the first guide member 512 is pushed by the first transmission member 514 and the second transmission member 515 to move in the direction away from the second guide member 513 until at least a portion of the first guide member 512 passes through the first through hole 111 and covers the window 140.

[0072] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a first stopper 700 and a second stopper 800 located in the accommodating cavity 110, the first stopper 700 and the second stopper 800 are respectively located on both sides of the driving mechanism 500, the first stopper 700 is provided with a first groove (not shown in the figure) opening toward the driving mechanism 500, and the second stopper 800 is provided with a second groove (not shown in the figure) opening toward the driving mechanism 500, and the first groove and the second groove both extend along the height direction of the vehicle. The rainproof member 200 includes a first side edge 210 and a second side edge 220 arranged opposite to each other in the length direction of the vehicle door 100, and at least a portion of the first side edge 210 and the second side edge 220 are respectively located in the first groove and the second groove. It should be understood that by providing the first stopper 700 and the second stopper 800, the rainproof member 200 can be limited to avoid the rainproof member 200 from being offset during the movement process.

[0073] On the other hand, combined Figure 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a rainproof method, which is applied to the vehicle described in any one of the embodiments of the present application. The rainproof method can be executed by a controller 400 on the vehicle. The rainproof method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps 101 to 102.

[0074] In step 101 , the controller 400 obtains the rainfall in the environment where the vehicle is located.

[0075] It should be noted that the controller 400 can obtain the rainfall from the optical rainfall sensor 600 in real time or at preset intervals.

[0076] In step 102, the controller 400 generates a rain protection instruction in response to the rainfall being greater than a preset rainfall.

[0077] The rainproof instruction is used to control the driving mechanism 500 to drive the rainproof element 200 so that the rainproof element 200 is in a rainproof state. It should be noted that the composition and function of the driving mechanism 500 in the embodiment of the present application are the same as the composition and function of the driving mechanism 500 in the vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, so the embodiment of the present application will not be repeated here.

[0078] As can be seen from the above, by using the rainproof method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the rainproof member 200 can be raised in time when it rains to prevent rainwater from entering the vehicle, thereby achieving rainproof. At the same time, since the rainproof member 200 is waterproof and breathable, the vehicle window 300 does not need to close the window 140. After the rainproof member 200 covers the window 140, ventilation can still be performed inside and outside the vehicle. In this way, fogging of the vehicle window 300 or the windshield can be avoided, so that the driver can clearly observe the environment outside the vehicle through the vehicle window 300 or the windshield during driving, thereby ensuring driving safety.

[0079] On the other hand, combined Fig. 9 As shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a rainproof method, which is applied to the vehicle described in any one of the embodiments of the present application. The rainproof method can be executed by a controller 400 on the vehicle. The rainproof method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps 201 to 203.

[0080] In step 201 , the controller 400 obtains the rainfall in the environment where the vehicle is located.

[0081] It should be noted that step 201 is similar to step 101, so the embodiment of the present application will not be described in detail here.

[0082] In step 202, the controller 400 generates a rain protection instruction in response to the rainfall being greater than a preset rainfall.

[0083] The rainproof instruction is used to control the driving mechanism 500 to drive the rainproof member 200 so that the rainproof member 200 is in a rainproof state. In some embodiments, the preset rainfall amount can be 0, so that the rainproof member 200 can be raised in time as long as rain is detected, thereby playing a role of timely rainproof. It should be noted that the preset rainfall amount can also be set by the driver, for example, it can be greater than 0.

[0084] In some embodiments, step 202 includes: the controller 400 obtains the position of the vehicle window 300 in response to the rainfall being greater than a preset rainfall. The controller 400 generates a rainproof instruction in response to the vehicle window 300 being in the position of the open window 140. In this way, it can be ensured that when the window 140 is open, the rainproof member 200 is switched to the rainproof state of covering the window 140, thereby preventing rain and ensuring ventilation inside and outside the vehicle, thereby preventing the vehicle window 300 or the windshield from fogging.

[0085] In some other embodiments, step 202 includes: the controller 400 acquires the position of the vehicle window 300 in response to the rainfall being greater than a preset rainfall. The controller 400 acquires the vehicle state in response to the vehicle window 300 being in the position of closing the window 140 .

[0086] In response to the vehicle state being in the startup state, the controller 400 generates a first descending instruction and a rainproof instruction, wherein the first descending instruction is used to instruct the vehicle window 300 to be moved to the position of the open window 140. It can be understood that when the vehicle is in the startup state, it means that the driver is in the state of driving the vehicle. During the driving process, the driver can simultaneously lower the vehicle window 300 and raise the rainproof member 200, thereby preventing rain from entering the vehicle and ensuring good ventilation inside and outside the vehicle, so as to avoid fogging of the vehicle window 300 or the windshield, thereby ensuring driving safety.

[0087] Alternatively, the controller 400 generates a second descending instruction and a rainproof instruction in response to the vehicle state being in the off state and a passenger sitting in the vehicle, wherein the second descending instruction is used to instruct the vehicle window 300 to be moved to the position of the open window 140. It should be noted that sometimes the user may just stay in the vehicle without driving the vehicle, such as when a passenger sits in the vehicle waiting for others or taking shelter from the rain in the vehicle. At this time, when the vehicle is not being driven, once it is detected that it is raining and there are people in the vehicle, the window 140 is opened in time and the rainproof member 200 is raised, which can not only play a role in rainproofing, but also can timely ventilate the inside and outside of the vehicle, avoid physical discomfort of the passengers in the vehicle due to excessive stuffiness, and improve the comfort of the passengers. It should be noted that a face recognition device facing the seat can be arranged in the vehicle to identify whether there is a passenger sitting on the seat. The controller 400 is connected by signal to the face recognition device. The controller 400 can determine whether there is a passenger sitting on the seat based on the detection result of the face recognition device.

[0088] In step 203 , the controller 400 generates a storage instruction in response to the rainfall amount not being greater than a preset rainfall amount.

[0089] The storage instruction is used to control the driving mechanism 500 to drive the rainproof member 200 so that the rainproof member 200 is in the storage state. In this way, the rainproof member 200 can be stored in the accommodating cavity 110 in time when the rain stops or the rainfall is very light, thereby improving the flexibility of controlling the rainproof member 200.

[0090] In some embodiments, the controller 400 generates a lifting instruction in response to the light intensity being greater than a preset intensity. The lifting instruction is used to control the window 300 to rise from the second through hole to a preset position. Since the window 300 has a light-shielding property, it can be used when the light is strong.

[0091] In some embodiments, the controller 400 controls the driving mechanism 500 to drive the rainproof member 200 to switch to the rainproof state in response to the first trigger operation. The controller 400 controls the driving mechanism 500 to drive the rainproof member 200 to switch to the storage state in response to the second trigger operation. It should be noted that the vehicle also includes a display screen connected to the controller 400 signal, and the display screen displays a raising button and a lowering button for controlling the state of the rainproof member 200. The first trigger operation can be, for example, a click operation performed by the user on the raising button. The second trigger operation can be, for example, a motor operation performed by the user on the lowering button.

[0092] From the above, it can be seen that the rain protection method provided in the embodiment of the present application can automatically raise the rain protection part 200 when it rains, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the car in time and avoiding fogging of the car window 300 or windshield, thereby ensuring driving safety.
