Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of vehicles, and particularly relates to a wiper cover and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The wiper cover of the vehicle is usually horizontally arranged with grille holes for guiding liquid (such as rainwater or glass water, etc.) flowing down the front windshield to the bottom of the car, and the vehicle's air-conditioning air intake is generally also arranged near the grille holes to facilitate the outside air to enter the air-conditioning air intake through the above-mentioned grille holes.

[0003] The inventors have discovered that when a vehicle with the wiper cover described above is driving on a rainy day, air and rainwater need to pass through the grille holes of the wiper cover at the same time. At this time, the water vapor separation efficiency of the horizontally arranged grille holes is low, which often causes rainwater to be sucked into the air-conditioning intake port along with the air, thereby adversely affecting the operation of the air-conditioning.

[0004] The utility model aims at the technical problem of low water-gas separation efficiency of a wiper cover in the prior art and provides a wiper cover and a vehicle.

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the embodiment of the utility model provides a wiper cover, comprising an elastic connector, a bending plate and a cover body provided with a mounting hole; a receiving space communicating with the mounting hole is formed between the cover body and the vehicle body; the bending plate comprises a convex portion provided with a plurality of groups of grille holes;

[0006] The elastic connector is installed in the accommodating space; one end of the bending plate is connected to the elastic connector, the other end of the bending plate is installed on the cover body, and the protrusion passes through the installation hole and extends out of the accommodating space.

[0007] Optionally, the wiper cover also includes a mounting seat mounted on the cover body or the vehicle body; at least a portion of the mounting seat is located in the accommodating space and is arranged opposite to the protrusion; and opposite ends of the elastic connecting member are respectively connected to the mounting seat and the protrusion.

[0009] Optionally, the bending plate further comprises a flange arranged on the edge of the convex portion; the flange is located in the accommodating space;

[0010] When the protrusion passes through the mounting hole and extends out of the accommodating space, the flange abuts against the edge of the mounting hole under the elastic force of the elastic connecting member.

[0011] Optionally, the convex portion includes a top plate and a side plate arranged around the top plate, and at least a portion of the side plate is located in the accommodating space;

[0012] Each group of grille holes includes a first through hole arranged on the top plate, and at least one second through hole arranged on the side plate and connected to the first through hole.

[0013] Optionally, each group of the grille holes includes two second through holes, and the two second through holes in the same group of the grille holes are connected at two opposite sides of the first through hole.

[0014] Optionally, all of the grille holes are arranged in parallel and at intervals on the convex portion.

In this way, the wiper cover of the utility model can separate the air and rainwater entering the accommodation space, thereby improving the water vapor separation efficiency of the wiper cover and preventing rainwater from directly following the air into the air-conditioning air inlet. At the same time, the utility model also provides an elastic connector connected to the bending plate in the accommodation space. In this way, when the vehicle is in normal use, the convex portion can extend from the accommodation space under the elastic force of the elastic connector, thereby ensuring water vapor separation.

[0029] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0030] It should be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back", and "middle" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only used to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a wiper cover, comprising an elastic connector 100, a bending plate 200 and a cover body 300 provided with a mounting hole 310; a receiving space 320 connected to the mounting hole 310 is formed between the cover body 300 and the vehicle body; the bending plate 200 comprises a convex portion 210 provided with a plurality of groups of grille holes 211; the elastic connector 100 is installed in the receiving space 320; one end of the bending plate 200 is connected to the elastic connector 100, and the other end of the bending plate 200 is installed on the cover body 300, and the convex portion 210 passes through the mounting hole 310 and extends out of the receiving space 320.

[0032] In this embodiment, the wiper cover is mounted on the body of the vehicle, so that the accommodating space 320 is formed between the cover body 300 and the vehicle body. The vehicle includes but is not limited to a fuel-powered vehicle, an electric-powered vehicle, or a hybrid vehicle. The mounting hole 310 connects the accommodating space 320 with the external space. The protrusion 210 extends from the accommodating space 320 through the mounting hole 310, so that the grille hole 211 set on the protrusion 210 also connects the accommodating space 320 with the external space, and the air conditioning air intake 520 of the vehicle is connected with the accommodating space 320, so that the air in the external space can enter the accommodating space 320 through the grille hole 211, and then enter the air conditioning air intake 520 for intake; at the same time, the grille hole 211 can also be used to filter larger debris to prevent debris from entering the accommodating space 320.

[0033] Understandably, when the vehicle is in normal use, the convex portion 210 can extend from the accommodating space 320 under the elastic force of the elastic connector 100. At this time, the convex portion 210 provided with a plurality of grille holes 211 can be used to separate moisture. For example, when the vehicle is exposed to rain and the air conditioner is turned on for external circulation (i.e., air is taken in from the air conditioner air inlet 520), since the grille holes 21 are arranged on the convex portion 210 and have a certain height, the air in the external space can directly enter the air conditioner air inlet 520 through the upper end of the grille holes 211; the rainwater in the external space is directly separated from the air through the lower part of the grille holes 211 under the action of gravity and flows into the accommodating space 320, thereby preventing the rainwater from directly following the air into the air conditioner air inlet 520. In addition, when the wiper cover is hit by a pedestrian, the elastic connector 100 is deformed so that the protrusion 210 can be retracted from the mounting hole 310 and sunk into the accommodating space 320, thereby preventing the protrusion 210 protruding from the cover body 300 from causing additional damage to the pedestrian.

[0034] It can be understood that the end of the bending plate 200 away from the elastic connector 100 is the top end of the bending plate 200, that is, the end of the bending plate 200 facing the external space. The end of the bending plate 200 connected to the elastic connector 100 is the bottom end of the bending plate 200, that is, the end of the bending plate 200 facing the accommodating space 320. The bending plate 200 is bent to form a convex portion 210 protruding toward the top. Under the elastic support of the elastic connector 100, the convex portion 210 passes through the mounting hole 310 and then protrudes and is set on the end surface of the end of the cover body 300 away from the elastic connector 100. The size of the mounting hole 310 can be set according to actual conditions, and the convex portion 210 matches the mounting hole 310, so that the bending plate 200 can be installed on the cover body 300 while the convex portion 210 can extend from the accommodating space 320. The size, shape and layout of the grille hole 211 can be set according to actual conditions. The elastic connector 100 includes but is not limited to one or more of elastic elements such as springs and springs, as long as an elastic connection can be formed between the bending plate 200 and the cover body 300, so that when the vehicle is in normal use, the convex part 210 can be extended from the accommodating space 320 under the elastic force of the elastic connector 100, thereby ensuring the separation of water vapor, but when the wiper cover is hit by a pedestrian, the convex part 210 can be sunk into the accommodating space 320 through the deformation of the elastic connector 100. The elastic connector 100 can make the convex part 210 sink into the accommodating space 320 by compression or stretching. The end of the elastic connector 100 away from the bending plate 200 can be connected to the cover body 300 and installed in the accommodating space 320; the end of the elastic connector 100 away from the bending plate 200 can also be connected to the vehicle body, so as to be installed in the accommodating space 320.

[0035] In the above embodiment of the utility model, a bending plate 200 having a protrusion 210 is provided on the cover body 300, and the grille hole 211 is provided on the protruding protrusion 210 and has a certain height (not horizontally arranged). In this way, when the vehicle is driving in rainy days, rainwater can enter the accommodating space 320 through the lower end of the grille hole 211 having a certain height, and air can enter the accommodating space 320 through the upper end of the grille hole 211 having a certain height. In this way, the wiper cover in the utility model can separate the air and rainwater entering the accommodating space 320, thereby improving the water-gas separation efficiency of the wiper cover and preventing rainwater from directly following the air into the air inlet of the air conditioner. At the same time, the utility model also provides an elastic connector 100 connected to the bending plate 200 in the accommodating space 320. In this way, when the vehicle is in normal use, the protrusion 210 can extend from the accommodating space 320 under the elastic force of the elastic connector 100, thereby ensuring the separation of water vapor. When the wiper cover is hit by a pedestrian, the elastic connector 100 is deformed, so that the protrusion 210 can be retracted from the mounting hole 310 and sunk into the accommodating space 320, thereby avoiding the protrusion 210 from colliding with the pedestrian and causing additional damage to the pedestrian, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the wiper cover further comprises a mounting seat 400 mounted on the cover body 300 or the vehicle body; at least a portion of the mounting seat 400 is located in the accommodating space 320 and is arranged opposite to the convex portion 210; the opposite ends of the elastic connector 100 are respectively connected to the mounting seat 400 and the convex portion 210. It can be understood that the mounting seat 400 can be connected to the cover body 300; the mounting seat 400 can also be connected to the vehicle body, as long as the mounting seat 400 and the cover body 300 maintain a relatively fixed position relationship. The mounting seat 400 can be one or more, and the shape and mounting position of the mounting seat 400 can also be set according to requirements, as long as the elastic connector 100 can be stably connected between the mounting seat 400 and the convex portion 210.

[0037] In one embodiment, the mounting seat 400 is provided with a first clamping portion; the bending plate 200 is provided with a second clamping portion at a position corresponding to the first clamping portion; the opposite ends of the elastic connector 100 are respectively clamped on the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion. In this embodiment, the elastic connector 100 can be a spring. It can be understood that the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion can both be a protrusion or a clamping groove, etc., and the opposite ends of the elastic connector 100 are respectively clamped on the first clamping portion and the second clamping portion, thereby improving the connection stability of the elastic connector 100.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the bending plate 200 further includes a flange 220 disposed at the edge of the protrusion 210; the flange 220 is located in the accommodation space 320; when the protrusion 210 passes through the mounting hole 310 and extends out of the accommodation space 320, the flange 220 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 310 under the elastic force of the elastic connector 100. It can be understood that the bending plate 200 abuts against the edge of the mounting hole 310, that is, the cover body 300, through the flange 220, thereby preventing the bending plate 200 from falling out of the mounting hole 310 under the elastic force of the elastic connector 100. In addition, the flange 220 abuts against the cover body 300, and the elastic connecting member 100 can also apply a certain pre-pressure or pre-tension when connecting the bending plate 200 and the cover body 300, thereby avoiding shaking between the bending plate 200 and the cover body 300 when the vehicle is driving, thereby improving the connection stability between the bending plate 200 and the cover body 300.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the convex portion 210 includes a top plate 212 and a side plate 213 arranged around the top plate 212; at least a portion of the side plate 213 is located in the accommodation space 320; each group of the grille holes 211 includes a first through hole arranged on the top plate 212, and at least one second through hole arranged on the side plate 213 and connected to the first through hole. It can be understood that the top plate 212 is arranged on the top of the convex portion 210, and the side plate 213 of the convex portion 210 is connected to the top plate 212 and is located around the top plate 212. Both the first through hole and the second through hole can take in air. The horizontal height of the second through hole is set to be lower than the horizontal height of the first through hole, so rainwater usually enters the accommodation space 320 from the lower end of the second through hole with a lower height, while air enters more from the upper end of the second through hole and the first through hole, thereby achieving water vapor separation.

[0040] In one embodiment, each group of the grille holes 211 includes two second through holes, and the two second through holes of the same group of the grille holes 211 are connected at opposite sides of the first through hole. It can be understood that the two second through holes are connected at opposite sides of the first through hole, so that the air intake area of ​​the grille holes 211 can be increased without increasing the width of the convex portion 210, thereby reducing the flow rate of air in the grille holes 211, preventing rainwater from being brought into the air conditioning air inlet 520 by the high-flow air, which will further improve the ability of the grille holes 211 to separate water vapor.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, all the grille holes 211 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart on the convex portion 210. In this way, the arrangement of the grille holes 211 can be made more orderly, and more grille holes 211 can be arranged on the convex portion 210 of the same area, thereby further increasing the total air intake area of ​​the grille holes 211.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the lowest point of the hole edge of the grille hole 211 is flush with or lower than the edge of the mounting hole 310. It can be understood that rainwater can flow into the accommodation space 320 from the grille hole 211. The lowest point of the hole edge of the grille hole 211 is flush with or lower than the edge of the mounting hole 310, so that all rainwater can flow into the accommodation space 320 from the position of the lowest point of the hole edge of the grille hole 211, and no remaining rainwater will be blocked and accumulated on the cover body 300 at the edge of the mounting hole 310.

[0043] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a vehicle, comprising the wiper cover. The specific structure of the wiper cover can refer to the above embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In the vehicle of the above-mentioned embodiment of the utility model, a bending plate 200 with a protrusion 210 is provided on the cover body 300 of the wiper cover, and the grille hole 211 is provided on the protruding protrusion 210 and has a certain height (not horizontally arranged). In this way, when the vehicle is driving in rainy days, rainwater can enter the accommodating space 320 through the lower end of the grille hole 211 with a certain height, and air can enter the accommodating space 320 through the upper end of the grille hole 211 with a certain height. In this way, the wiper cover in the utility model can separate the air and rainwater entering the accommodating space 320, thereby improving the water-gas separation efficiency of the wiper cover and preventing rainwater from directly following the air into the air-conditioning air intake. At the same time, the utility model also provides an elastic connector 100 connected to the bending plate 200 in the accommodating space 320. In this way, when the vehicle is in normal use, the protrusion 210 can extend from the accommodating space 320 under the elastic force of the elastic connector 100, thereby ensuring the separation of water vapor. When the wiper cover is hit by a pedestrian, the elastic connector 100 is deformed, so that the protrusion 210 can be retracted from the mounting hole 310 and sunk into the accommodating space 320, thereby avoiding the protrusion 210 from colliding with the pedestrian and causing additional damage to the pedestrian, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle.

[0045] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, a drainage groove 500 is provided on the body of the vehicle; the drainage groove 500 and the cover body 300 enclose the accommodation space 320; a drainage port 510 is provided at the bottom of the drainage groove 500; and an air conditioning air inlet 520 is provided at one end of the drainage groove 500 close to the grille hole 211. It can be understood that the drainage port 510 is provided at the bottom of the drainage groove 500 to prevent rainwater from accumulating in the drainage groove 500. After the rainwater flows through the grille hole 211, the air will also drive the rainwater to move toward the air-conditioning air inlet 520. At the same time, gravity will also drive the rainwater to move toward the bottom of the drainage groove 500. Therefore, the air-conditioning air inlet 520 is arranged at one end of the drainage groove 500 close to the grille hole 211, so as to ensure that before the rainwater reaches the lowest height of the air-conditioning air inlet 520 driven by the air, its height is already lower than the lowest height of the air-conditioning air inlet 520 under the action of gravity, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the air-conditioning air inlet 520, further improving the water vapor separation effect.

[0046] The above are only embodiments of the wiper cover and vehicle of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
