[0039] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 This application is described in further detail.

The elastic element 6 is arranged on the output shaft 3, and the elastic element 6 abuts against the second worm wheel 51 and the output shaft 3 to drive the output shaft 3 and the second worm wheel 51. When the torque transmitted from the second worm 52 to the second worm wheel 51 exceeds a threshold value, the elastic element 6 and the second worm wheel 51 rotate relative to each other to disconnect the transmission between the second worm wheel 51 and the second worm 52.

[0043] In this embodiment, the elastic element 6 is configured as a disc spring 62, which is coaxially sleeved on the output shaft 3. The disc spring 62 is arranged between the housing 1 and the second worm gear 51 coaxially connected to the output shaft 3. An adjustment member 8 is arranged between the disc spring 62 and the housing 1. The adjustment member 8 is configured as a pressure block 83, which is sleeved on the output shaft 3. By selecting different pressure blocks 83, the degree of fastening between the disc spring 62 and the second worm gear 51 and the output shaft 3 is different, thereby realizing the selection of the threshold value.

[0044] When the torque borne by the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device is greater than a threshold value, the disc spring 62 and the output shaft 3 remain relatively still and the disc spring 62 and the second worm gear 51 rotate relatively, or the output shaft 3 and the second worm gear 51 remain relatively still and the disc spring 62 and the output shaft 3 rotate relatively, thereby interrupting the next step of torque transmission, thereby minimizing damage to the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device due to excessive torque. When the torque borne by the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device is lower than a threshold value, the disc spring 62 and the second worm gear 51 remain relatively still and the disc spring 62 drives the output shaft 3 to rotate.

[0047] When the torque borne by the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device is greater than a threshold value, the tolerance ring 61 and the output shaft 3 remain relatively still and the tolerance ring 61 and the second worm gear 51 rotate relatively, or the second worm gear 51 and the output shaft 3 remain relatively still and the tolerance ring 61 and the output shaft 3 rotate relatively, interrupting the next step of torque transmission, thereby avoiding damage to the transmission structure of the entire automobile air deflector device due to excessive torque as much as possible; when the torque borne by the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device is lower than a threshold value, the tolerance ring 61 and the second worm gear 51 remain relatively still and the tolerance ring 61 drives the output shaft 3 to rotate. Example

[0048] Reference Figure 5-6 A driving unit of an automobile air deflector with a clutch function includes a housing 1, a power member 7 arranged on the housing 1, an output shaft 3 rotatably connected to the housing 1 for transmission connection with the automobile air deflector, a first worm gear set 4 and an elastic element 6.

When the torque transmitted from the first worm 42 to the first worm wheel 41 exceeds a threshold value, the elastic element 6 and the first worm wheel 41 rotate relative to each other to disconnect the transmission between the first worm wheel 41 and the first worm 42.

An adjustment member 8 is arranged between the disc spring 62 and the housing 1. The adjustment member 8 is configured as a pressure block 83, which is sleeved on the output shaft 3. By selecting different pressure blocks 83, the degree of fastening between the disc spring 62 and the first worm gear 41 and the output shaft 3 is different, thereby realizing the selection of the threshold value.

[0054] When the torque borne by the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device is greater than a threshold value, the disc spring 62 and the output shaft 3 remain relatively still and the disc spring 62 and the first worm gear 41 rotate relatively, or the output shaft 3 and the first worm gear 41 remain relatively still and the disc spring 62 and the output shaft 3 rotate relatively, interrupting the next step of torque transmission, thereby minimizing damage to the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device due to excessive torque; when the torque borne by the transmission structure of the automobile air deflector device is lower than a threshold value, the disc spring 62 and the first worm gear 41 remain relatively still and the disc spring 62 drives the output shaft 3 to rotate.
