[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] In the related art, an air inlet is usually provided on the front bumper of the vehicle to cool the cooling module using the airflow entering from the air inlet. The air inlet of the front bumper of the common new energy vehicle is usually provided near the bottom. Compared with the upper and lower air inlets provided on the bumper of the traditional fuel vehicle, the air inlet of the new energy vehicle is provided in such a way that the air volume entering from the air inlet is significantly reduced, and most of the air flow flows to the part of the cooling module that is directly opposite to the air inlet, while the air volume flowing to the part of the cooling module that is not opposite to the air inlet is small, resulting in poor cooling effect of this part and poor heat dissipation capacity of the whole vehicle, which affects the performance of the whole vehicle.

[0041] Based on the above problems, the present application provides a bumper, a guide structure and a vehicle to at least partially solve the above technical problems.

[0042] According to a first aspect of the present application, a bumper 10 is provided. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a guide structure provided in an embodiment of the present application, wherein the bumper is shown, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The side cross-sectional view of the guide structure in FIG. 1 , wherein the bumper is shown. The bumper 10 is applied to a vehicle having an anti-collision beam 20 , and the bumper 10 comprises: a functional plate 11 , a first air inlet 12 and a second air inlet 13 are provided, and the first air inlet 12 is configured to be at least partially opposite to the anti-collision beam 20 .

[0043] In the related art, when an air inlet is opened on the bumper, the anti-collision beam is usually avoided, that is, the air inlet is not opened at the position where the bumper and the anti-collision beam are directly opposite, and the air inlet of the new energy vehicle is usually opposite to the cooling module below the anti-collision beam, resulting in a small amount of air flow to the cooling module above the anti-collision beam, and the cooling effect of the cooling module is poor. In the embodiment of the present application, by opening a first air inlet 12 and a second air inlet 13 on the functional plate 11 of the bumper 10, and making the anti-collision beam 20 at least partially opposite to the first air inlet 12, compared with the solution of only opening an air inlet near the bottom of the bumper in the related art, the bumper 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application increases the amount of air flowing in from the air inlet by opening a first air inlet 12 at least partially opposite to the anti-collision beam 20, and adding a second air inlet 13, so that more airflow can be used to cool the cooling module, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling module.

[0044] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 13 are arranged at intervals. In this way, the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 13 can be used to cool different parts of the cooling module respectively, so as to achieve fixed-point cooling of different parts of the cooling module, which helps to improve the cooling effect of the cooling module.

[0045] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the first air inlet 12 is connected to the second air inlet 13. In this way, the functional board 11 located between the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 13 can avoid blocking the airflow, so that more airflow can flow in from the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 13, which helps to improve the cooling effect of the cooling module.

[0046] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of the present application, the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 13 are configured to be spaced apart along the height direction of the vehicle; and / or, the second air inlet 13 is configured to be located below the first air inlet 12 along the height direction of the vehicle.

[0047] Please continue reading Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present application, the vehicle further has a cooling module 40, which is arranged on the side of the anti-collision beam 20 away from the bumper 10, and at least part of the first air inlet 12 is configured to be arranged opposite to the cooling module 40; and / or, the second air inlet 13 is configured to be arranged opposite to the cooling module 40.

[0048] By adopting such a solution, the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 and / or the second air inlet 13 can directly cool the cooling module 40 arranged opposite to the first air inlet 12 , thereby improving the cooling effect of this part of the cooling module 40 .

[0049] In addition, the first air inlet 12 in the embodiment of the present application is at least partially arranged opposite to the anti-collision beam 20, so that the airflow flowing from the first air inlet 12 to the anti-collision beam 20 can be diverted by the anti-collision beam 20, so that part of the airflow is diverted to the cooling module 40 that is not opposite to the first air inlet 12 and the second air inlet 13, further improving the cooling effect of the cooling module 40.

[0050] According to the second aspect of the present application, a flow guide structure is provided. Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of the diversion structure in FIG. Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a partial structure of the air guide structure in another perspective. The air guide structure includes: the bumper 10 as described in the first aspect; and an anti-collision beam 20, which is arranged inside the bumper 10 and at least partially arranged opposite to the first air inlet 12. The air guide structure has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned bumper 10, and this application will not repeat them here.

[0051] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present application, in the first direction X, the anti-collision beam 20 is at least partially disposed opposite to the first air inlet 12. In this way, it is ensured that the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 can flow to the surface of the anti-collision beam 20 facing the bumper 10, and thus be diverted by the surface, so that the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 can flow to different directions to cool different parts of the cooling module 40, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling module 40.

[0052] It should be noted that the first direction X in the embodiment of the present application is a direction perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0053] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the air guide structure further includes: an air guide cover connected to the anti-collision beam 20 and disposed between the functional plate 11 and the anti-collision beam 20, the air guide cover being configured to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12. In this way, the air guide cover can be used to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 to the part to be cooled of the cooling module 40, so that more airflow can be used to cool the part to be cooled, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling module.

[0054] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the flow guide structure is applied to a vehicle, and the vehicle further has a cooling module 40, which is arranged on the side of the anti-collision beam 20 away from the bumper 10, and the air deflector includes: a first flow guide 31, which is connected to the anti-collision beam 20, and one end of which abuts against the functional plate 11, and the other end extends to the edge of the side of the cooling module 40 close to the anti-collision beam 20, and the first flow guide 31 is configured to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12. In this way, the first flow guide 31 can be used to guide the gas flowing in from the first air inlet 12, so that the airflow flows to the cooling module 40 along the first flow guide 31, so that more gas flows to the cooling module 40, thereby improving the cooling effect of the cooling module 40.

[0055] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the first guide member 31 has a first guide plate 311, one end of the first guide plate 311 abuts against the functional plate 11, and the other end extends to the edge of the side of the cooling module 40 close to the anti-collision beam 20, and the angle between the first guide plate 311 and the horizontal plane is σ, 0°≤σ<90°. In this way, it can be ensured that the first guide plate 311 can guide the airflow flowing to itself to the cooling module 40, thereby improving the cooling capacity of the cooling module 40.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, the air deflector further includes: a second connecting plate 312 connected to the anti-collision beam 20 and the first air deflector 311 .

[0057] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments of the present application, the air guide cover also includes: a first connecting plate 32, connected to the first air guide member 31, and the first connecting plate 32 is configured to define a cooling cavity 50 having a first air inlet 12 with the functional board 11, the first air guide member 31 and the cooling module 40, so that the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 flows in the cooling cavity 50.

[0058] By adopting such a solution, it can be ensured that the airflow entering from the first air inlet 12 flows only in the cooling cavity 50 , which helps to fully utilize the airflow to cool the cooling module 40 .

[0059] See also Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A partial structural schematic diagram of the air guide structure in FIG. 1 , wherein the anti-collision beam and the second air guide are shown. In some embodiments of the present application, the air guide cover further includes: a second air guide 33 connected to the anti-collision beam 20 and located between the bumper 10 and the anti-collision beam 20, and the second air guide 33 is configured to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12.

[0060] In the related art, the main purpose of the anti-collision beam 20 is to protect the safety of pedestrians. When designing the anti-collision beam 20, improving the ability to protect pedestrians is the primary priority. However, it is possible that the ability to protect pedestrians and the ability to guide flow cannot be achieved at the same time. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a second guide member 33 on the anti-collision beam 20, and uses the second guide member 33 to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12, which can ensure both the ability to guide the airflow and the ability of the anti-collision beam 20 to protect pedestrians.

[0061] It should be noted that, in order to reduce the damage caused by vehicles to pedestrians, the second guide member 33 in the embodiment of the present application is preferably made of a flexible material on the premise of satisfying the guide capacity.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, the second guide member 33 is located in the cooling cavity 50. In this way, the second guide member 33 is conveniently used to guide the airflow in the cooling cavity 50, so that more airflow flows to the cooling module 40, thereby improving the cooling capacity of the cooling module 40.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, in the length direction of the first air inlet 12, the length of the second air guide 33 is greater than or equal to the length of the first air inlet 12. In this way, the airflow entering from the first air inlet 12 can be guided by the second air guide 33 as much as possible, so as to increase the amount of airflow flowing to the cooling module 40, thereby improving the cooling capacity of the cooling module 40 and the cooling effect of the cooling module 40.

[0064] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments of the present application, the second guide member 33 has a second guide plate 331, and the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane is θ, 0°≤θ<90°, and the second guide plate 331 is configured to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12.

[0065] The second guide member 33 needs to guide the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 so that more airflow flows to the cooling module 40. Therefore, the second guide plate 331 of the second guide member 33 used to guide the airflow needs to have a certain angle with the vertical plane. In the embodiment of the present application, the angle θ between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane is in the range of 0°≤θ<90°, ensuring that the second guide plate 331 has a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane, thereby guiding the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12, thereby increasing the airflow flowing to the cooling module 40, thereby improving the cooling capacity of the cooling module 40.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide structure is applied to vehicles with various operating conditions, and the second guide plate 331 is configured to have different angles with the vertical plane when the vehicle is in different operating conditions.

[0067] Vehicles usually have different working conditions, and different working conditions usually correspond to different heat dissipation requirements. In the embodiment of the present application, when the vehicle is in different working conditions, the angle between the second deflector 331 and the vertical plane is not exactly the same, that is, the angle between the second deflector 331 and the vertical plane is flexibly adjusted according to the heat dissipation requirements corresponding to different working conditions, so as to meet the air intake requirements corresponding to the heat dissipation requirements under different working conditions.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, in the first direction X, the second guide plate 331 is at least partially disposed opposite to the first air inlet 12 . In this way, it is ensured that the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 can directly flow to the surface of the second guide plate 331 facing the bumper 10 , and thus be guided by the second guide plate 331 .

[0069] See also Figures 1 to 8 , Figure 6 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the second guide member in the guide structure before and after the angle adjustment, Figure 7 yes Figure 1 A partial structural diagram of the guide structure in FIG. 1 , wherein the anti-collision beam, the first connecting structure and the power mechanism are shown. Figure 8 yes Figure 1 An enlarged view of the first connection structure on the anti-collision beam of the guide structure in FIG. In some embodiments of the present application, the guide structure further includes: a power mechanism 60, connected to the second guide member 33, configured to drive the second guide member 33 to move, so as to adjust the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane. In this way, the power mechanism 60 can be used to drive the second guide member 33 to move, thereby adjusting the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane, and at the same time, it is also convenient to realize the automatic adjustment of the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane.

[0070] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8In some embodiments of the present application, the guide structure further includes: a first connecting structure 70, which is connected to the anti-collision beam 20, the second guide member 33 and the power mechanism 60, and the first connecting structure 70 is configured to move with the power mechanism 60 to drive the second guide member 33 to move.

[0071] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting structure 70 includes: a slide rail 71, which is fixedly connected to the anti-collision beam 20 and has a first slide groove 711; a sliding member 72, which is connected to the second guide member 33 and the power mechanism 60, and is slidably connected to the first slide groove 711. The sliding member 72 is configured to slide along the first slide groove 711 with the action of the power mechanism 60 to drive the second guide member 33 to move, so that the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane changes.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the first connecting structure 70 includes a slide rail 71 and a sliding member 72, and the sliding member 72 can slide along the first slide groove 711 of the slide rail 71 under the drive of the power mechanism 60, thereby driving the second guide member 33 to move, so that the position of the second guide member 33 connected to the anti-collision beam 20 through the first connecting structure 70 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane.

[0073] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the included angle between the sliding direction of the sliding member 72 and the straight line where the second direction is located is α, 0°≤α<90°. In this way, it can be ensured that when the sliding member 72 slides along the first slide groove 711, the included angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane will change, thereby achieving the adjustment of the included angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane.

[0074] It should be noted that the second direction Y in the embodiment of the present application is the length direction of the vehicle.

[0075] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the guide structure has a plurality of first connection structures 70 , and the plurality of first connection structures 70 are disposed at least at one end of the second guide member 33 .

[0076] In the embodiment of the present application, the second air guide 33 is connected by using a plurality of first connection structures 70 , which helps to improve the connection strength between the second air guide 33 and the anti-collision beam 20 .

[0077] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of first connection structures 70 are disposed at both ends of the second guide member 33 .

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting the first connecting structure 70 at both ends of the second guide member 33, the relative positions of the two ends of the second guide member 33 and the anti-collision beam 20 can be adjusted at the same time. Compared with setting the first connecting structure 70 at other positions, such as setting it at the middle or one end of the second guide member 33, the present application sets the first connecting structure 70 at both ends of the second guide member 33 to ensure that the adjusted second guide member 33 is opposite to the first air inlet 12, thereby ensuring the flow-guiding ability of the second guide member 33.

[0079] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first connection structures 70 disposed at both ends of the second guide member 33 is the same.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of the first connection structures 70 is an even number.

[0081] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the anti-collision beam 20 has a first connecting surface 21 and a second connecting surface 22, and the guide structure has N first connecting structures 70. If N=2, the N first connecting structures 70 are arranged on the first connecting surface 21 or the second connecting surface 22.

[0082] By adopting such a scheme, the two first connecting structures 70 can adopt the same control method, which can improve the adjustment speed of the second guide plate 331 on the one hand, and ensure the same adjustment accuracy at both ends of the second guide member 33 on the other hand, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the second guide member 33.

[0083] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, if N>2, at least two of the N first connection structures 70 are disposed on the first connection surface 21, and at least two first connection structures 70 are disposed on the second connection surface 22. In this way, the convenience and accuracy of adjusting the second guide member 33 can be improved.

[0084] Please continue reading Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting surface 21 and the second connecting surface 22 are opposite surfaces.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the first connecting surface 21 and the second connecting surface 22 are both parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0086] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow guide structure has a plurality of power mechanisms 60 , and the plurality of power mechanisms 60 are respectively connected to the plurality of first connection structures 70 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0087] By adopting such a solution, each first connection structure 70 can be controlled separately, and each part of the first connection structure 70 can be accurately adjusted, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the second guide member 33.

[0088] In some embodiments of the present application, the second guide member 33 is provided with a second chute 332, and the power mechanism 60 is also connected to the second guide member 33. The power mechanism 60 is configured to drive the second guide member 33 to move, so that the second guide member 33 moves along the length direction of the second chute 332, so that the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane changes. In this way, the adjustment range of the second guide member 33 can be the length of the first chute 711 plus the length of the second chute 332, which increases the adjustment range of the second guide member 33, so that the range of the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane is expanded, which is conducive to flexibly adjusting the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane according to the heat dissipation requirements.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the angle between the length direction of the second slide groove 332 and the straight line where the second direction Y is located is β, 0°≤β<90°. In this way, it can be ensured that when the second guide member 33 slides along the second slide groove 332, the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane can be changed, thereby adjusting the angle between the second guide plate 331 and the vertical plane.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present application, the air guide structure further includes: a second connection structure 80 , and the second connection structure 80 is configured to connect the first air guide 31 and the anti-collision beam 20 .

[0091] By adopting such a solution, it can be ensured that the airflow entering from the first air inlet 12 flows only in the cooling cavity 50 , which helps to fully utilize the airflow to cool the cooling module 40 .

[0092] In some embodiments of the present application, the flow guide structure includes two second connection structures 80, which are respectively arranged at both ends of the first flow guide 31. In this way, it is helpful to improve the connection strength between the second flow guide 33 and the anti-collision beam 20, ensure the flow guiding capacity of the flow guide structure, and improve the reliability of the flow guide structure.

[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the anti-collision beam 20 has a third connection surface 23, and the two second connection structures 80 are connected to the third connection surface 23. In this way, the connection strength and force strength at both ends of the first deflector 31 can be substantially the same, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the first deflector 31.

[0094] According to a third aspect of the present application, a vehicle is provided, comprising the bumper 10 as described in the first aspect, or the guide structure as described in the second aspect; and a cooling module 40 disposed on a side of the anti-collision beam 20 facing away from the bumper 10 .

[0095] The vehicle may be a fuel vehicle, a plug-in hybrid vehicle or a new energy vehicle, etc., and this application does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present application, in the first direction X, a first air duct and a second air duct are defined between opposite sides of the anti-collision beam 20 and the bumper 10, and the cooling module 40 has a first sub-cooling module connected to the first air duct, and a second sub-cooling module connected to the second air duct, and in the first direction X, the first sub-cooling module is partially arranged opposite to the first air inlet 12; and / or, in the first direction X, the second sub-cooling module is at least partially arranged opposite to the first air inlet 12.

[0097] By adopting such a solution, at least part of the airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 12 flows to the part of the first sub-cooling module blocked by the bumper 10, so as to ensure the cooling capacity of this part, thereby ensuring the cooling capacity of the cooling module 40. At the same time, at least part of the second sub-cooling module is exposed, which can not only ensure the cooling capacity of the second sub-cooling module, but also facilitate flexible adjustment of the size of the first air inlet 12 according to the shape of the whole vehicle.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0099] In the above embodiments, the description of each embodiment has its own emphasis. For parts that are not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.

[0100] The embodiments, implementation methods and related technical features of the present application can be combined and replaced with each other without conflict.
