[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 6 A spoiler assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0050] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 According to the first aspect of the utility model, a spoiler assembly 100 for a vehicle is provided. The spoiler assembly 100 is used to be installed on a vehicle body, for example, installed on the rear of the vehicle body, and the spoiler assembly 100 includes: a spoiler 1 and a flexible connector 2, and the spoiler 1 is installed on the vehicle body through the flexible connector 2.

[0051] The spoiler 1 is configured to be able to rotate under the drive of an external force. By arranging the spoiler 1 on the vehicle body and enabling the spoiler 1 to rotate under the drive of an external force, the spoiler 1 can be used to change the aerodynamic characteristics of the vehicle, which can increase the downforce of the vehicle when driving at high speeds, reduce the lift of the rear of the vehicle, and thus improve the handling stability of the vehicle. Optionally, the spoiler 1 is suitable for being connected to a driving mechanism 5 installed on the vehicle body for driving the spoiler 1 to rotate, and the driving mechanism 5 can drive the spoiler 1 to rotate relative to the vehicle body to open or retract the spoiler 1. For example, the driving mechanism 5 is configured as a motor.

[0052] The flexible connector 2 is connected to one end of the spoiler 1. The flexible connector 2 is used to connect to the vehicle body, and the flexible connector 2 is configured to form a rotatable connection between the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body. For example, the flexible connector 2 can be deformed to form a rotatable connection between the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body. When the spoiler 1 is driven by an external force, the spoiler 1 rotates relative to the vehicle body by deforming the flexible connector 2. By arranging the flexible connector 2 between the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body, the flexible connector 2 can make the spoiler 1 rotate smoothly relative to the vehicle body.

[0053] For example, at least a portion of the flexible connector 2 is deformable so that the spoiler 1 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body. Alternatively, the entire flexible connector 2 is deformable so that the spoiler 1 is rotatably connected to the vehicle body.

[0054] For example, the driving mechanism 5 drives the other end of the spoiler 1 to rotate around one end of the spoiler 1 toward a direction away from the vehicle body to open the spoiler 1, and the flexible connector 2 elastically deforms to allow the spoiler 1 to rotate; for example, the driving mechanism 5 drives the other end of the spoiler 1 to rotate around one end of the spoiler 1 toward a direction close to the vehicle body to retract the spoiler 1, and the flexible connector 2 deforms and recovers to allow the spoiler 1 to rotate.

[0055] According to the spoiler assembly 100 for a vehicle in the embodiment of the utility model, a flexible connector 2 is provided at one end of the spoiler 1, and the flexible connector 2 is connected between one end of the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body, so that a rotatable connection is formed between the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body. This can avoid the problem of the hinge hole and the hinge axis being stuck in the hinge structure, thereby helping to reduce or avoid the situation where the spoiler 1 cannot rotate or is damaged, and is conducive to the spoiler 1 being able to rotate smoothly relative to the vehicle body, which can better ensure the normal operation of the spoiler 1.

[0056] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least part of the flexible connector 2 is an elastic polymer part. Optionally, part of the flexible connector 2 can be formed as an elastic polymer part, for example, part of the flexible connector 2 is formed as an elastic polymer part, another part of the flexible connector 2 is formed as a metal plate, and the elastic polymer part is arranged on the outside of the metal plate; the flexible connector 2 can also be formed as an elastic polymer part as a whole. By making at least part of the flexible connector 2 an elastic polymer part, the elastic polymer part has good corrosion resistance and good friction resistance, which is conducive to improving the service life of the flexible connector 2.

[0057] refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the flexible connector 2 is a rubber member. By making the flexible connector 2 a rubber member, the rubber member has good high elasticity, so that the flexible connector 2 can be deformed to a large extent, which is conducive to the smooth rotation of the spoiler 1 relative to the vehicle body and to the expansion of the rotation range of the spoiler 1; in addition, the rubber member also has good anti-aging performance, which is conducive to the flexible connector 2 to maintain good performance for a long time in various use environments.

[0058] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the flexible connector 2 includes a connecting portion 20, a fixing portion 22 and a deforming portion 24, the deforming portion 24 is connected between the connecting portion 20 and the fixing portion 22, the fixing portion 22 is used to connect with the vehicle body so that the flexible connector 2 is stably connected to the vehicle body, the connecting portion 20 is connected to the spoiler 1 so that the flexible connector 2 is stably connected to the spoiler 1, and the deforming portion 24 is configured to be deformed so that the flexible connector 2 adapts to the rotation of the spoiler 1. Optionally, the deforming portion 24 can be elastically deformed so that the flexible connector 2 adapts to the rotation of the spoiler 1. By arranging the deforming portion 24 between the connecting portion 20 and the fixing portion 22 of the flexible connector 2, when the spoiler 1 receives an external force to rotate, the deforming portion 24 deforms so that the flexible connector 2 adapts to the rotation of the spoiler 1, so that the spoiler 1 connected to the connecting portion 20 can rotate relative to the fixing portion 22, so that the flexible connector 2 is more easily adapted to the rotation of the spoiler 1 and does not hinder the rotation of the spoiler 1.

[0059] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the hardness of the deformation portion 24 is less than the hardness of the spoiler 1, so that the deformation portion 24 is easier to deform relative to the spoiler 1, so that the spoiler 1 can rotate around the fixing portion 22 through the deformation of the deformation portion 24, so that the spoiler 1 can rotate relative to the vehicle body.

[0060] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the strength of the deformation portion 24 is less than the strength of the spoiler 1, so that the deformation portion 24 is easier to deform relative to the spoiler 1, so that the spoiler 1 can rotate around the fixing portion 22 through the deformation of the deformation portion 24, so that the spoiler 1 can rotate relative to the vehicle body.

[0061] According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the hardness of the deformation portion 24 is less than the hardness of the spoiler 1 and the strength of the deformation portion 24 is less than the strength of the spoiler 1, so that the deformation portion 24 is easier to deform relative to the spoiler 1, so that the spoiler 1 can rotate around the fixing portion 22 through the deformation of the deformation portion 24, so that the spoiler 1 can rotate relative to the vehicle body.

[0062] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the deformation portion 24 is less than the thickness of the connecting portion 20. For example, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer side of the deformation portion 24 facing the vehicle body, so that the deformation portion 24 can be deformed along the groove contour. By making the thickness of the deformation portion 24 less than the thickness of the connecting portion 20, the deformation portion 24 is easier to deform than the connecting portion 20.

[0063] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the deformable portion 24 is less than that of the fixed portion 22. For example, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the outer side of the deformable portion 24 facing the vehicle body, so that the deformable portion 24 can be deformed along the groove contour. By making the thickness of the deformable portion 24 less than that of the fixed portion 22, the deformable portion 24 is more likely to deform than the fixed portion 22.

[0064] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the spoiler 1 includes a spoiler body 11 and an embedding portion 13 connected to one side of the spoiler body 11, a embedding groove 201 is formed in the connecting portion 20, and the embedding portion 13 is embedded in the embedding groove 201, so that the spoiler 1 is connected to the connecting portion 20. By forming the embedding portion 13 in the spoiler 1 and forming the embedding groove 201 in the connecting portion 20, and embedding the embedding portion 13 in the embedding groove 201, it is beneficial to form a stable connection relationship between one end of the spoiler 1 and the flexible connector 2.

[0065] refer to Figure 3According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the embedding portion 13 includes a main body 131 and a step portion 132, and the step portion 132 is connected between the main body 131 and the spoiler body 11 to form a step structure between the main body 131 and the spoiler body 11. The spoiler body 11 and the embedding portion 13 are arranged along a set direction, and the embedding groove 201 includes a limiting portion 2012, and the projection of the limiting portion 2012 along the set direction at least partially overlaps with the projection of the step portion 132 along the set direction. For example, the projection of the limiting portion 2012 along the set direction partially overlaps with the projection of the step portion 132 along the set direction; or, the projection of the limiting portion 2012 along the set direction completely overlaps with the projection of the step portion 132 along the set direction.

[0066] By making the projection of the limiting portion 2012 along the set direction at least partially overlap with the projection of the step portion 132 along the set direction, when the embedding portion 13 is embedded in the embedding groove 201, a mutual limiting relationship is formed between the embedding portion 13 and the embedding groove 201, so that the embedding portion 13 is not easy to escape from the embedding groove 201, which is conducive to forming a stable connection relationship between the flexible connector 2 and the spoiler 1.

[0067] refer to Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, the side of the spoiler 1 close to the vehicle body in the thickness direction of the spoiler 1 is the inner side of the board, and the step portion 132 extends obliquely in the direction from the spoiler body 11 to the embedded portion 13 toward the inner side of the board. By making the step portion 132 of the embedded portion 13 extend obliquely in the direction from the spoiler body 11 to the embedded portion 13 toward the inner side of the board, an escape space is formed on the outer side of the embedded portion 13 of the spoiler 1. When the embedded portion 13 is embedded in the embedded groove 201, the portion of the connecting portion 20 away from the inner side of the board can be accommodated in the formed escape space, so that the connecting portion 20 can be prevented from protruding obviously from the spoiler body 11 when the embedded portion 13 is embedded in the embedded groove 201.

[0068] refer to Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the connecting portion 20 facing away from the inner side of the plate is the first surface 202, and the surface of the spoiler body 11 facing away from the inner side of the plate is the second surface 112, and the first surface 202 is flush with the second surface 112. By making the first surface 202 and the second surface 112 flush, the flatness of the outer side of the spoiler assembly 100 is high, which facilitates the airflow to flow smoothly on the outer side of the spoiler assembly 100, so that the spoiler 1 can better play the role of spoiling and improve the handling stability of the vehicle.

[0069] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3According to some optional embodiments of the present invention, the flexible connector 2 is integrally formed with the spoiler 1.

[0070] refer to Figure 2-Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, a plurality of first connection holes 133 distributed at intervals are formed on the embedded portion 13, and the flexible connector 2 further includes a connection column 21, which is passed through the first connection hole 133 and connected to the connection portion 20, and the connection column 21 is connected between the connection portion 20 and the embedded portion 13, which can further strengthen the connection strength between the spoiler 1 and the flexible connector 2. For example, the flexible connector 2 is subjected to a molding high-temperature vulcanization molding process, so that part of the flexible connector 2 enters the first connection hole 133 of the embedded portion 13 to form the connection column 21. By forming a plurality of first connection holes 133 distributed at intervals on the embedded portion 13, and allowing the connection column 21 of the flexible connector 2 to pass through the first connection hole 133, the connection strength between the connection portion 20 and the embedded portion 13 is evenly distributed, so that the connection relationship between the flexible connector 2 and the spoiler 1 is more stable.

[0071] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 According to some optional embodiments of the utility model, a first mounting hole 221 for connecting with the vehicle body is formed on the fixing portion 22. For example, the fixing portion 22 can be connected to the vehicle body by inserting a fastener through the first mounting hole 221 and the vehicle body, thereby connecting the flexible connector 2 to the vehicle body. A first bushing 23 is provided in the first mounting hole 221. The hardness of the first bushing 23 is greater than the hardness of the flexible connector 2. The first bushing 23 protects the flexible connector 2, which can reduce or avoid noise and wear, and is conducive to extending the service life of the spoiler assembly 100.

[0072] refer to Figure 1-Figure 3According to some embodiments of the present invention, the spoiler assembly 100 includes a connecting plate 12, the connecting plate 12 is overlapped with the spoiler 1, and the connecting plate 12 is connected to the spoiler 1.

The connecting plate 12 is suitable for connecting with the driving mechanism 5 for driving the spoiler 1 to rotate. The spoiler 1 is formed with a mounting groove 111, and the connecting plate 12 is located in the mounting groove 111. By forming the mounting groove 111 on the spoiler 1 and locating the connecting plate 12 in the mounting groove 111, the installation position of the connecting plate 12 can be accurately positioned through the mounting groove 111, so that the connecting plate 12 can be accurately connected to the spoiler 1.

By making the third surface 123 and the fourth surface 14 flush, when the spoiler 1 is retracted, it is conducive to the formation of a tight fit between the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body, so that the outer side of the spoiler 1 and the vehicle body form a flat plane.

[0074] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least part of the spoiler 1 is made of carbon fiber material. For example, part of the spoiler 1 is made of carbon fiber material; for example, the entire spoiler 1 is made of carbon fiber material.
