[0038] The air deflector structure design in the related art has limitations and cannot block impurities such as moisture, smoke, and stones from entering the engine from the air intake end of the front grille. Once impurities enter the engine, they may affect the engine's combustion efficiency and reduce power performance.
[0039] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 The wind deflector assembly 1 according to an embodiment of the utility model is described.
[0040] The wind deflector assembly 1 according to the utility model is used for a vehicle, such as Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, the air guide plate assembly 1 includes a first air guide component 11, an air guide duct 12 and an air guide box 13. The first air guide component 11 extends in the width direction of the vehicle; the air guide duct 12 is arranged in the first air guide component 11, and an air flow channel suitable for air flow is formed in the air guide duct 12. The air guide duct 12 is respectively formed with an air inlet and an air outlet of the air flow channel on both sides of the first air guide component 11; the air guide box 13 is arranged in the first air guide component 11, and the air guide box 13 is formed with an air guide surface 131a arranged opposite to the air outlet.
[0041] According to the air deflector assembly 1 of the utility model, the first air deflector component 11 extends in the width direction of the vehicle, so that the first air deflector component 11 can cover the area in front of the vehicle, thereby managing and optimizing the airflow and reducing the backflow of hot airflow in the engine compartment. The air deflector 12 is arranged on the first air deflector component 11, and an airflow channel is formed inside, and the airflow channel is used for the circulation of airflow. The air deflector 12 is formed with an air inlet and an air outlet of the airflow channel on both sides of the first air deflector component 11, respectively, for the entry and discharge of airflow, so that the airflow can flow according to a predetermined path to introduce cold air from the outside into the engine compartment. The air deflector box 13 is arranged on the first air deflector component 11, and is formed with an air deflector surface 131a arranged opposite to the air outlet of the air deflector 12. When the airflow flows out from the air outlet of the air deflector 12, the airflow will directly hit the air deflector surface 131a, and then be guided into the engine compartment. When the airflow hits the air guide surface 131a, the airflow will change its direction, and impurities will remain on the air guide surface 131a due to inertia and gravity, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the airflow, thereby reducing impurities entering the engine with the airflow and helping to improve the vehicle's power performance.
[0042] Therefore, according to the air deflector assembly 1 of the utility model, by providing the air deflector box 13, the air deflector box 13 can effectively guide and clean the external cold air entering the engine, reduce the intrusion of impurities, and improve the power performance of the vehicle.
[0043] According to some embodiments of the utility model, on a plane perpendicular to the airflow direction of the air outlet, the orthographic projection of the air guide surface 131a covers the orthographic projection of the edge of the air outlet. When viewed from the airflow direction of the air outlet, the air guide surface 131a covers the air outlet, so that the airflow flowing out of the air outlet can fully hit the air guide surface 131a, so that impurities in the airflow are fully and effectively filtered out, significantly improving the cleanliness of the airflow entering the engine compartment and effectively reducing the impact of impurities on the engine.
[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the air guide box 13 includes a first air guide plate 131 and a second air guide plate 132, and the first air guide plate 131 is formed with an air guide surface 131a, which is responsible for filtering impurities in the airflow. One end of the second air guide plate 132 is connected to the edge of the first air guide plate 131 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the air guide surface 131a, and the other end of the second air guide plate 132 is connected to the first air guide component 11. The second air guide plate 132 can hinder the flow of air after hitting the air guide surface 131a, which helps to further guide and control the flow of airflow, and also realizes the connection with the first air guide component 11, so that the air guide box 13 is stably installed on the first air guide component 11. The second air guide plate 132 and the first air guide plate 131 define an air guide cavity open to one side. The airflow flowing out of the air outlet enters the air guide cavity and hits the air guide surface 131a, and then flows out from the open direction of the air guide cavity, so as to guide the airflow to the engine.
[0045] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 As shown, the other end of the second air guide plate 132 is formed with a flange portion 132a bent outward from the air guide cavity, and the flange portion 132a is formed with a mating surface 132b mating with the first air guide component 11. The flange portion 132a is connected to the first air guide component 11 through the mating surface 132b, increasing the contact area with the first air guide component 11, thereby improving the stability of the connection. In addition, through the close fit between the flange portion 132a and the first air guide component 11, the leakage of airflow from the connection can be reduced, and the sealing performance can be improved.
[0046] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6As shown, a protruding snap-fitting portion 132c is formed on the mating surface 132b, and the snap-fitting portion 132c is snap-fitted with the first air guide component 11. The protruding snap-fitting portion 132c is snap-fitted with the corresponding structure on the first air guide component 11 to form a stable connection. Due to the snap-fitting method, the installation process of the air guide box 13 becomes simpler and faster, the installation difficulty is reduced, and the time required for installation is reduced. When the air guide box 13 needs to be cleaned, repaired or replaced, the snap-fitting portion 132c can be separated from the first air guide component 11 through simple operations to achieve the disassembly of the air guide box 13, making the disassembly and maintenance of the air guide box 13 more convenient and improving the use efficiency.
[0047] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the air deflector assembly 1 also includes a first flexible seal, which is arranged between the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12 and is arranged around the edge of the air inlet. The first flexible seal can fill the gap between the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12 to enhance the sealing. Specifically, the first flexible seal is flexible and can be compressed between the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12 to produce an interference fit, thereby achieving a tighter fit and sealing effect. By arranging the first flexible seal around the edge of the air inlet, the hot air flow in the engine compartment can be effectively prevented from flowing back to the air inlet through the gap between the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12, so that the engine can fully inhale cold air from the outside, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and performance of the engine.
[0048] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12 are constructed as an integrally formed part. Integral forming refers to the simultaneous processing of multiple components into a complete structure in one operation through a manufacturing process. Since the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12 are integrally formed, there are no additional connectors between them, so the structure is more solid and stable. The integrally formed design can ensure that there is no gap at the connection between the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12, thereby improving the sealing performance and helping to prevent air flow backflow. By integrally forming the first air guide component 11 and the air guide duct 12, the assembly and connection steps in the manufacturing process can be reduced, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process and reducing manufacturing costs, and can also save installation time and reduce installation difficulty.
[0049] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the air guide plate assembly 1 also includes a second air guide component 14 and a third air guide component 15. The second air guide component 14 and the third air guide component 15 are respectively arranged at both ends of the first air guide component 11 and extend in the length direction of the vehicle. A receiving cavity suitable for receiving the engine is defined between the first air guide component 11, the second air guide component 14 and the third air guide component 15. The first air guide component 11, the second air guide component 14 and the third air guide component 15 define a receiving cavity through their respective positions and shapes. The size and shape of the receiving cavity are suitable for receiving the engine. Through the coordinated work of the first air guide component 11, the second air guide component 14 and the third air guide component 15, the hot air flow in the engine compartment is effectively prevented from flowing back to the air inlet, so that the engine can fully inhale the cold air from the outside, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and performance of the engine.
[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the air deflector assembly 1 also includes a second flexible seal 16, which is arranged at the edge of at least one of the first air deflector component 11, the second air deflector component 14 and the third air deflector component 15. The second flexible seal 16 is a flexible sealing material used to fill and seal the gap between the air deflector assembly 1 and the surrounding parts. The second flexible seal 16 is arranged at the edge of any one or more of the first air deflector component 11, the second air deflector component 14 and the third air deflector component 15 to cooperate with the surrounding parts, depending on the design of the air deflector assembly 1 and the position that needs to be sealed. By filling the gap between the air deflector assembly 1 and the surrounding parts, the flow of hot air flow in the engine compartment can be effectively blocked, thereby effectively preventing the hot air flow in the engine compartment from flowing back to the air inlet, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and performance of the engine.
