[0039] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0040] This embodiment provides a vehicle, which includes a chassis and an underbody protection assembly. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bottom guard assembly includes a guard body 1, a guard adjustment mechanism, and a cooling mechanism. The guard body 1 covers the chassis and has a mounting opening 11. The first end of the guard body 1 is hinged to the chassis. The guard adjustment mechanism includes a guard adjustment component located between the chassis and the second end of the guard body 1, used to adjust the angle between the guard body 1 and the chassis. The cooling mechanism includes a cooling duct 31 and a duct adjustment component. The cooling duct 31 is movably disposed at the mounting opening 11, and the duct adjustment component controls the folding or outward rotation of the cooling duct 31. When the cooling duct 31 is folded, its air inlet is completely above the guard body 1. When the cooling duct 31 is outward rotated, its air inlet is at least partially below the guard body 1, and the portion of the cooling duct 31 below the guard body 1 connects the upper and lower sides of the guard body 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the skid plate adjustment mechanism can adjust the angle of the skid plate body 1 relative to the chassis, thereby ensuring that the vehicle performs optimally in different driving conditions. Furthermore, by providing a cooling mechanism, the cooling duct 31 can be folded or folded outward relative to the skid plate body 1 by the duct adjustment component. When the cooling duct 31 is folded, the air inlet end of the cooling duct 31 is completely above the skid plate body 1; when the air inlet end of the cooling duct 31 is completely retracted above the skid plate body 1, the cooling duct 31 does not function. (See schematic diagram for reference.) Figure 3 As shown; when the cooling duct 31 is folded outward, the air inlet of the cooling duct 31 is at least partially located below the guard plate body 1. The portion of the cooling duct 31 located below the guard plate body 1 connects the upper and lower sides of the guard plate body 1, allowing air below the guard plate body 1 to enter the chassis area above the guard plate body 1 through the cooling duct 31. This allows for cooling of the engine compartment, braking system, and other components within the chassis according to cooling requirements, ensuring reliable and stable vehicle operation. (See schematic diagram below.) Figure 4 As shown. The vehicle provided in this embodiment includes the aforementioned underbody protection assembly, which on the one hand ensures that the vehicle performs well in different driving conditions, and on the other hand, can also cool the engine compartment, braking system, etc. in the chassis according to the heat dissipation and cooling requirements, ensuring reliable and stable vehicle operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cooling duct 31 includes a duct body 311 and a guide plate 312. The duct body 311 is fixedly provided with a hinge shaft 313, and a hinge portion 12 is provided on the side end of the mounting port 11. The hinge shaft 313 is hinged to the hinge portion 12. The guide plate 312 is provided at the air inlet end of the duct body 311. The duct adjustment component is used to control the duct body 311 to fold or fold outward. Specifically, when the duct body 311 is folded, the air inlet end of the duct body 311 is completely above the guard plate body 1; when the duct body 311 is folded outward, the air inlet end of the duct body 311 is at least partially below the guard plate body 1, and the portion of the duct body 311 below the guard plate body 1 connects the upper and lower sides of the guard plate body 1. It is understandable that by adjusting the different outward turning angles of the air duct body 311 relative to the guard plate body 1, the cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet end of the air duct body 311 located at least partially below the guard plate body 1 is adjusted, thereby adjusting the air intake volume of the cooling air duct 31.

[0043] In this embodiment, the duct adjustment component includes a drive motor 32 and a transmission assembly 33. The housing of the drive motor 32 is fixed to the inner side of the protective plate body 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 32 is connected to the hinge shaft 313 via the transmission assembly 33. Rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 32 can drive the hinge shaft 313 to rotate via the transmission assembly 33, thereby controlling the duct body 311 to fold or fold outward. Specifically, the transmission assembly 33 includes a drive gear 331 and a driven gear 332. Specifically, the drive gear 331 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 32, and the driven gear is fixedly sleeved on the hinge shaft 313. The drive gear 331 and the driven gear 332 are meshed together. Specifically, rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor 32 can sequentially drive the drive gear 331 and the driven gear 332 to rotate, thereby driving the hinge shaft 313 to rotate to achieve the folding or folding swinging action of the duct body 311.

[0044] Specifically, by changing the rotation direction of the output shaft of the drive motor 32, the duct body 311 can be switched between folding and folding outwards.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, the transmission assembly 33 also includes a coupling. The output shaft of the drive motor 32 may be configured to be coaxial with the hinge shaft 313, in which case the connection between the output shaft of the drive motor 32 and the hinge shaft 313 can be achieved through a coupling.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cooling mechanism also includes a temperature sensor, which is communicatively connected to the air duct adjustment component via the control element 4. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the engine compartment and braking system on the chassis. The control element 4 can control the air duct adjustment component to operate according to the temperature data from the temperature sensor, thereby controlling the cooling air duct 31 to fold or fold outward. Specifically, the control element 4 controls the output shaft of the drive motor 32 to rotate according to the temperature data from the temperature sensor, thereby controlling the air duct body 311 to fold or fold outward, so that the air below the guard plate body 1 can enter the chassis area above the guard plate body 1 through the cooling air duct 31, and then cool the engine compartment, braking system, etc. in the chassis according to the heat dissipation and cooling requirements, ensuring reliable and stable vehicle operation.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cooling duct 31 includes a first cooling duct 31A and a second cooling duct 31B disposed on both sides of the first cooling duct 31A. The air outlet of the first cooling duct 31A is correspondingly disposed to the engine compartment on the chassis, and the air outlet of the second cooling duct 31B is correspondingly disposed to the braking system on the chassis. The air in the first cooling duct 31A can directly cool the engine compartment, and the air in the second cooling duct 31B can directly cool the braking system.

[0048] Optionally, only one complete hinge shaft 313 may be used, which is connected to both the first cooling air duct 31A and the second cooling air duct 31B. Alternatively, multiple hinge shafts 313 may be provided, with each of the first cooling air duct 31A and the second cooling air duct 31B connected to a hinge shaft 313.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first end of the guard plate body 1 is provided with a first ball head 131, and the chassis is correspondingly provided with a first ball socket 132. The first ball head 131 is movably disposed in the first ball socket 132. Specifically, the insertion and engagement of the first ball head 131 and the first ball socket 132 can realize a reliable hinge between the guard plate body 1 and the chassis, ensuring that the guard plate body 1 moves flexibly.

[0050] In this embodiment, the guard plate adjustment mechanism includes a telescopic rod 21. A second ball head 141 is provided at the second end of the guard plate body 1. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 21 is fixed to the chassis, and the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21 is correspondingly provided with a second ball socket 142. The second ball head 141 is movably disposed within the second ball socket 142. Specifically, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21 extends and retracts relative to the fixed end, which can correspondingly control the swing of the guard plate body 1 relative to the chassis, thereby achieving angle adjustment. Specifically, the insertion and engagement of the second ball head 141 and the second ball socket 142 enables reliable swing adjustment between the guard plate body 1 and the chassis, ensuring flexible movement of the guard plate body 1.

[0051] Furthermore, the skid plate adjustment mechanism also includes a speed sensor 22. The speed sensor 22 is communicatively connected to the skid plate adjustment component via the control element 4. The speed sensor 22 is used to detect the driving speed, and the control element 4 can control the skid plate adjustment component to adjust the angle between the skid plate body 1 and the chassis based on the speed data from the speed sensor 22. Specifically, the control element 4 can control the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21 to extend or retract to the fixed end based on the speed data from the speed sensor 22, thereby adjusting the angle between the skid plate body 1 and the chassis. Specifically, when the vehicle is traveling at low speed, the airflow under the vehicle is weak, and the impact on aerodynamic performance is small. When the speed sensor 22 detects a speed of less than 30 km / h, the control element 4 controls the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21 to retract to the fixed end, that is, the second end of the skid plate body 1 is in the highest position, improving the vehicle's passability. When the speed sensor 22 detects a speed of not less than 30 km / h, the airflow speed under the vehicle is fast, which has a significant impact on aerodynamics. At this time, the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 21 is extended outward from the fixed end by the control element 4, which drives the second end of the guard plate body 1 to descend. An angle appears between the guard plate body 1 and the chassis, so that the guard plate body 1 as a whole plays a guiding role, thereby ensuring that the vehicle performs better aerodynamic performance under different driving conditions.

[0052] Specifically, the vehicle speed sensor is located on the vehicle's wheel hub or transmission system.

[0053] For example, the telescopic rod 21 can be an electric telescopic rod 21 or a hydraulic telescopic rod 21, and this application does not limit it.

[0054] Furthermore, the underbody protection assembly also includes an angle sensor 41 and an attitude sensor 42. The angle sensor 41 is used to detect the angle between the underbody protection body 1 and the chassis, and the attitude sensor 42 is used to detect the pitch and roll angles of the chassis. Specifically, the attitude sensor 42 can be configured as an accelerometer, gyroscope, etc., to detect the real-time attitude of the vehicle during driving; the angle sensor 41 detects the angle data between the underbody protection body 1 and the chassis in real time, which is convenient for tracking and adjustment.

[0055] In this embodiment, the bottom protection plate assembly also includes a power supply 43, which is used to supply power to the control element 4, various sensors and other electrical equipment to ensure reliable and stable operation.

[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
