Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0038] In order to solve the problem in the related art that the wipers on the vehicle cannot clean the rain on the glass in time, resulting in unclear driving vision, the embodiments of the present application provide a vehicle water removal system and a vehicle.

[0039] Combine the following Figures 1 to 8 , the embodiments of the present application are described.

[0040] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle water removal system, such as Figure 1 as well as Figures 4 to 8 As shown, it includes: an air conditioning system 1 and a plurality of nozzles 2. Specifically, the air conditioning system 1 includes a compressor, the compressor has an air inlet and an air outlet; the plurality of nozzles 2 are arranged at intervals along at least one side of the glass frame of the vehicle, and are connected to the air outlet through an air delivery pipeline 3, and the airflow released by the plurality of nozzles 2 is suitable for forming an air film on the glass surface in the glass frame to block rainwater.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application forms an air film on the glass surface to block rainwater by utilizing the airflow released by multiple nozzles 2, which can effectively prevent rainwater from adhering to the glass, reduce the interference of rainwater on the driving vision, and effectively improve the safety and comfort of the driver driving on rainy days. Secondly, compared with the method of cleaning rainwater on the vehicle glass by mechanical wipers in the related art, the vehicle water removal system of the embodiment of the present application will not come into contact with the vehicle glass, so it will not cause damage to the surface of the glass, ensure the clarity of the window 6 glass, and extend the service life of the window 6 glass. Furthermore, the nozzle 2 is connected to the compressor in the air-conditioning system 1 through the air supply pipeline 3, which can not only use the air-conditioning system 1 to control the air compression amount of the compressor and the output air volume of the nozzle 2, but also improve the degree of automation of the vehicle water removal system; it can also simplify the structural complexity of the vehicle water removal system, and avoid introducing additional air compression equipment to occupy the limited installation space of the vehicle.

[0042] It is understandable that in order to further improve the cleaning effect of rainwater on the vehicle window 6 in rainy and foggy weather, the vehicle water removal system in this embodiment can also be used in combination with the windshield wipers on the vehicle in the related art, that is, the windshield wipers can perform the water removal operation on the glass between the air film and the glass surface.

[0043] It should be noted that the number of nozzles 2 in this embodiment can be four, six or eight. The specific number of nozzles 2 can be adjusted accordingly according to the shape and size of the glass, based on the ability to form an air film on the glass surface to block rainwater. This application does not make any specific limitations on this.

[0044] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that multiple nozzles 2 can be stably arranged along the glass frame, bonding, screwing, etc. can be used. As long as the nozzles 2 can be fixedly installed in the preset position, the specific fixing method is not limited to the ones listed above.

[0045] For convenience, Figure 4 The directions shown in the figure represent the up and down directions and the left and right directions of the glass.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, Figures 4 to 8 As shown, a plurality of nozzles 2 are evenly spaced along the upper side of the glass frame and are arranged toward the lower side of the glass frame. In this embodiment, a plurality of nozzles 2 are arranged along the upper side of the glass frame toward the lower side of the glass frame, so that a layer of air film flowing downward can be formed on the glass surface. This film can not only prevent rainwater from accumulating on the glass surface, but also keep the flow direction of the airflow consistent with the gravity direction of the rainwater, thereby guiding the flow direction of the rainwater and significantly reducing the interference of rainwater on the driving vision. Secondly, in this embodiment, the nozzles 2 are arranged at intervals along the upper side of the glass frame, which can ensure the uniform distribution of the airflow, so that the entire glass surface can be effectively covered, thereby forming a continuous and stable air film, and improving the uniformity and reliability of water removal.

[0047] Since some of the glass on the vehicle has a large area, in order to ensure the water removal effect of the nozzle 2 on the large area of ​​glass, in some embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple nozzles 2 are also arranged on the left and right sides of the glass frame and are arranged toward the lower side of the glass frame. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the nozzles 2 are arranged toward the lower side of the glass frame to facilitate the flow of rainwater and speed up the cleaning of rainwater. In addition, in order to ensure the uniformity of airflow, the multiple nozzles 2 on the left and right sides of the glass frame also need to be evenly spaced.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the nozzle 2 is set at an angle to the glass and releases airflow in a direction away from the glass. In this embodiment, the nozzle 2 is set at an angle to release airflow in a direction away from the glass, which can form a gap between the air film and the glass surface, preventing rain from dripping directly on the glass surface and interfering with the driving vision. In addition, as the distance between the airflow and the nozzle 2 increases, the influence of gravity on the airflow will gradually increase, so the side of the air film away from the nozzle 2 will gradually approach the glass surface, which will cause the rainwater isolation effect on this side of the air film to become relatively poor. Therefore, in this embodiment, the nozzle 2 is set at an angle to the glass and the nozzle 2 releases airflow in a direction away from the glass, which can overcome the influence of gravity to a certain extent and ensure the rainwater blocking effect of the air film.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the angle between the nozzle 2 and the glass is 5 to 15 degrees. Setting the angle between the nozzle 2 and the glass within the above angle range allows the air film formed by the airflow to evenly cover the glass surface while reducing the blind area covered by the air film, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of rainwater.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the angle between the nozzle 2 and the glass is 10 degrees.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle 2 has an air inlet end 201 and an air outlet end 202 that are arranged relatively, and the air inlet end 201 is connected to the air delivery pipeline 3; from the air inlet end 201 to the air outlet end 202, the size of the nozzle 2 changes from small to large. It can be understood that, by increasing the size of the air outlet end 202 of the nozzle 2, the diffusion range of the airflow at the air outlet end 202 can be increased in this embodiment, so that the air film formed by the airflow can cover every position on the glass surface as much as possible. In addition, since the diffusion range of the airflow at the air outlet end 202 can be increased by increasing the size of the air outlet end 202 of the nozzle 2, when cleaning the glass of the same area, through reasonable layout, the number of nozzles 2 used can be reduced, thereby reducing the initial procurement cost.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an air guide plate 203 is provided on the air outlet end 202, and the air guide plate 203 is set at an angle with the air outlet end 202. In this embodiment, by providing the air guide plate 203 on the air outlet end 202 and setting the air guide plate 203 at an angle with the air outlet end 202, the air flow rate and flow direction of the airflow at the air outlet end 202 of the nozzle 2 can be changed, so that not only can the rainwater cleaning work at different positions on the glass surface be achieved, but also the airflow can flow through any position on the glass surface.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, a rotation shaft is provided on the air guide plate 203, and the air guide plate 203 is rotatably matched with the side wall of the air outlet end 202 through the rotation shaft. In this embodiment, by providing the rotation shaft on the air guide plate 203, it is not only convenient for the driver to flexibly adjust the air flow rate and airflow direction of the air outlet end 202 according to his actual needs, so as to effectively improve the safety and comfort of the driver in rainy days.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, there are multiple air guide plates 203, and multiple air guide plates 203 are arranged side by side on the air outlet 202. It can be understood that by providing multiple air guide plates 203, the sustainable working ability of the air outlet 202 can be improved. When one or more of the air guide plates 203 are damaged, the remaining air guide plates 203 can still work independently, basically ensuring the flow direction and air flow of the air outlet 202. In addition, when one or more of the air guide plates 203 are damaged, only the failed air guide plates 203 need to be replaced or repaired, and there is no need to replace the entire air guide plate 203, which reduces the maintenance cost.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the air guide plate 203 located in the middle area of ​​the air outlet end 202 is arranged along the axial direction of the air delivery pipeline 3, and the air guide plates 203 on opposite sides close to the air outlet end 202 are arranged in an inclined direction away from the air guide plate 203 in the middle area. It can be understood that by making the air guide plates 203 on opposite sides close to the air outlet end 202 be inclined in a direction away from the air guide plate 203 in the middle area, the airflow can be better diffused when leaving the air outlet end 202, so that the coverage range of the airflow can be effectively increased, and the air film can cover the glass surface more effectively.

[0056] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle, comprising: a glass frame and the above-mentioned vehicle dewatering system. Specifically, the glass frame is equipped with glass; a plurality of nozzles 2 in the above-mentioned vehicle dewatering system are arranged at intervals along at least one side of the glass frame, and the airflow released by the plurality of nozzles 2 forms an air film on the surface of the side of the glass in the glass frame away from the vehicle to block rainwater.

[0057] It should be noted that the glass in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a front windshield 4 , a rear windshield, a rearview mirror 5 and a vehicle window 6 .

[0058] The vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, by adopting the above-mentioned vehicle water removal system, can form a layer of air film on the glass wall of the vehicle to block rainwater. In this way, it can effectively prevent rainwater from directly adhering to the glass, reduce the interference of rainwater on the driver's vision, and significantly improve the driver's driving safety and driving experience in rainy days. In addition, since the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application can block rainwater from adhering to the glass of the vehicle through the above-mentioned air film, the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application can choose to remove the mechanical wipers on the vehicle in the related art, so as to improve the appearance of the vehicle in the embodiment of the present application.

[0059] It should be noted that the vehicle in this application may refer to a large car, a small car, a special-purpose car, etc. For example, according to the car model, the car in this application may be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) or other models. Generally, a vehicle is provided with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system arranged between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, so that the wheels rotate, thereby driving the vehicle to travel.

[0060] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the type of the power source of the vehicle is not limited. For example, for a fuel vehicle, the power source may refer to a fuel engine such as a gasoline engine or a diesel engine; for an electric vehicle, the power source may refer to an electric motor; for a hybrid vehicle, the power source may refer to an engine or an electric motor; for a vehicle powered by other means, the power source may refer to a device that generates power.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, a sealing strip is provided between the glass frame and the glass, and a plurality of the nozzles 2 are provided on the sealing strip. In this embodiment, by providing the nozzles 2 on the sealing strip, the concealment of the nozzles 2 can be improved, and the interference with the appearance of the vehicle can be reduced.

[0062] It should be noted that the nozzle 2 in this embodiment can also be arranged on the glass frame. However, compared with the arrangement of the nozzle 2 on the sealing strip, the arrangement of the nozzle 2 on the glass frame requires the glass frame to be re-molded, thus increasing the production cost to a certain extent.

[0063] The serial numbers of the embodiments of the present application are only for description and do not represent the advantages and disadvantages of the embodiments. The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
