[0048] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the spoiler 100 of the embodiment of the utility model includes a spoiler body, and the spoiler body includes a first plate portion 11 and a second plate portion 12 .

[0050] The first plate portion 11 has a mounting surface 111 for fitting with the wheel cover 200 . The mounting surface 111 is provided with a column 112 . The column 112 is used to be fixed in a fixing hole 22 of the wheel cover 200 to connect the first plate portion 11 and the wheel cover 200 .

[0051] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first plate portion 11 is generally arranged vertically and is generally perpendicular to the front-rear direction. At this time, the mounting surface 111 can be the front surface of the first plate portion 11, and the column 112 can be provided on the mounting surface 111 by an integral molding method, and the column 112 generally extends along the front-rear direction. During assembly, the column 112 can be inserted into the fixing hole 22 on the wheel cover 200, and the column 112 can be connected and fixed to the hole wall of the fixing hole 22 by welding.

[0052] The second plate portion 12 is connected to the mounting surface 111 and is arranged to intersect with the first plate portion 11 . The second plate portion 12 is cantilevered in a direction away from the first plate portion 11 and is used to be connected to at least one of the bottom guard plate and the rocker trim 300 .

[0053] For example, the second plate portion 12 can be generally arranged horizontally, the second plate portion 12 is located on the front side of the first plate portion 11, and the rear side of the second plate portion 12 can be connected to the first plate portion 11. Specifically, the rear side of the second plate portion 12 can be connected to the bottom side of the first plate portion 11, thereby making the main body of the part generally an L-shaped structure.

[0054] The second plate portion 12 may be provided with assembly holes, etc., and during assembly, the assembly holes may allow fasteners to pass through, so that the second plate portion 12 can be connected and fixed to the bottom guard plate or the threshold trim 300 (side skirt trim) of the power battery.

[0055] The spoiler 100 of the embodiment of the utility model is provided with a column 112, and the spoiler 100 can be connected and fixed to the wheel cover 200 by the column 112, avoiding the situation in the prior art that the ends of the fasteners are easily exposed when the spoiler 100 and the wheel cover 200 are installed and fixed by fasteners, thereby improving the appearance of the spoiler 100 after installation.

[0056] Secondly, since the first plate portion 11 and the second plate portion 12 can assemble and fix the spoiler body from different orientations, the design of these different positions and multiple installation points fully guarantees the reliability of the assembly of the spoiler 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the spoiler 100 includes an outer decorative layer 13 , at least a portion of which is applied to the outer surface of the spoiler body, and the outer decorative layer 13 has toughness to reduce damage to the spoiler 100 caused by collision.

[0058] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the outer surface of the spoiler body can be the rear surface of the first plate portion 11 and the lower surface of the second plate portion 12. The rear surface of the first plate portion 11 and the lower surface of the second plate portion 12 can be provided with a layer of outer decorative layer 13. The outer decorative layer 13 can be made of rubber, silicone and other materials with good toughness. Therefore, when the spoiler 100 is collided, the outer decorative layer 13 can play a better protective effect and avoid the spoiler 100 from being damaged.

[0059] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first plate portion 11 is covered with an exterior layer 13 on a surface facing the wheel 400 , and the second plate portion 12 is provided with a hollow portion, and a portion of the exterior layer 13 is filled into the hollow portion.

[0060] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the outer decoration layer 13 may include a first portion 132 and a second portion 133 arranged in an L shape, the first portion 132 may be a plate-like structure, the second plate portion 12 may be substantially gate-shaped, the area enclosed by the gate-shaped second portion 133 is hollowed out, the first portion 132 may be filled in the hollowed out, and the second plate portion 12 and the first portion 132 may form a plate-like structure as a whole. Figure 3 As shown, the second portion 133 may be in a sheet shape, and the second portion 133 may be laid on the rear surface of the first plate portion 11 .

[0061] Since the second plate portion 12 faces the ground when in use, the second plate portion 12 is more easily touched by foreign objects. The design of filling the first portion 132 in the hollow can ensure the thickness of the first portion 132, thereby fully satisfying the effect of reducing touch damage.

[0062] In some embodiments, the exterior layer 13 includes an overhang 131 , the overhang 131 and the first plate portion 11 are located on the same side of the second plate portion 12 , the first plate portion 11 extends to one side of the second plate portion 12 , and the overhang 131 extends to the other side of the second plate portion 12 .

[0063] For example, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the overhang portion 131 can be integrally formed with the bottom side of the outer layer 13, and can be specifically located at the bottom side of the second portion 133. The overhang portion 131 can be a plate-like structure and extend downward. This can increase the effective area of ​​the outer layer 13, thereby fully meeting the use needs of reducing bump damage.

[0064] In some embodiments, both the main body and the outer layer 13 are injection molded parts, and the outer layer 13 and the main body are integrally injection molded. For example, the main body is made of plastic, specifically polypropylene (PP), and the outer layer 13 is made of rubber. During processing, the main body and the outer layer 13 can be processed and molded by two-color injection molding, that is, two different injection molding materials can be injected into the same mold, so that a complete component formed of two materials can be processed. This not only facilitates the connection and fixation of the main body and the outer layer 13, but also improves processing efficiency.

[0065] In some embodiments, the main body of the component and the outer decorative layer 13 are of different colors, which facilitates orientation identification during assembly and improves assembly efficiency.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second plate portion 12 has an arc, and at least a portion of the second plate portion 12 protrudes away from the wheel cover 200. Figure 3As shown, the second plate portion 12 can be an arc-shaped plate as a whole, and in the direction from front to back, the height of the second plate portion 12 can be first bent downward and then bent upward. Thus, the second plate portion 12 can be regarded as a gradually changing curved surface in the driving direction, which can play a role in reducing wind resistance.

[0067] In some embodiments, there are multiple columns 112, and the multiple columns 112 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the first plate portion 11. Figure 1 As shown, there may be three columns 112, which may be arranged at intervals along the left-right direction (the width direction of the first plate portion 11), thereby fully ensuring the stability of the first plate portion 11. In other embodiments, there may be four, five, or other numbers of columns 112.

[0068] In some embodiments, the column 112 is provided with an inner hole 1121 . The provision of the inner hole 1121 can avoid the generation of shrinkage marks during injection molding of the column 112 , thereby reducing structural defects of the column 112 and ensuring the molding quality of the column 112 .

[0069] In some embodiments, the second plate portion 12 is provided with a first assembly hole 121 and a second assembly hole 122 , wherein the first assembly hole 121 is used for connection with the bottom guard plate, and the second assembly hole 122 is used for connection with the door sill trim 300 .

[0070] For example, Figure 2 As shown, both the first assembly hole 121 and the second assembly hole 122 can be circular holes, wherein two first assembly holes 121 can be provided, and the two first assembly holes 121 can be provided at the front end of the second plate portion 12, thereby facilitating the connection with the bottom guard plate, and only one second assembly hole 122 can be provided, and the second assembly hole 122 can be provided on the left side of the second plate portion 12, thereby facilitating the connection between the second plate portion 12 and the threshold trim 300.

[0071] The wheel cover 200 assembly of an embodiment of the present utility model is described below.

[0072] The wheel cover 200 assembly of the embodiment of the utility model includes a wheel cover 200 and a spoiler 100 . The spoiler 100 may be a spoiler 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The wheel cover 200 is provided with a fixing hole 22 , and a column 112 of the spoiler 100 is fixed in the fixing hole 22 .

[0073] For example, Figure 4 As shown, the wheel cover 200 as a whole can be semicircular, the spoiler 100 can be fixed to the inner side of the front end of the wheel cover 200, and a recess 21 can be provided on the inner side of the front end of the wheel cover 200. The recess 21 can protrude toward the front side and form a pit on the rear side. The spoiler 100 can be embedded in the pit, thereby enhancing the limiting and restraining effect of the spoiler 100.

[0074] Specifically, the column 112 on the spoiler 100 can be fixed in the fixing hole 22 by welding. During welding, the column 112 will melt and can be bonded to the hole wall of the fixing hole 22, thereby ensuring the structural strength and stability of the connection and fixation.

[0075] The following describes a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present utility model.

[0076] The vehicle of the embodiment of the utility model includes a wheel cover 200 assembly, and the wheel cover 200 assembly can be the wheel cover 200 assembly described in any of the above embodiments. Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle further includes a rocker trim 300 and a wheel 400 . The rocker trim 300 may be disposed on the left side of the wheel cover 200 assembly, and the wheel cover 200 assembly may cover the outer peripheral side of the wheel 400 .

[0077] In some embodiments, the threshold trim 300 includes a plate body 31 and a threshold flange 32. The threshold flange 32 is disposed at the end of the plate body 31 facing the wheel 400. Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the plate body 31 can be generally in the shape of a long plate, and the plate body 31 can extend in the front-rear direction. The threshold flange 32 can be integrally formed on the rear side of the plate body 31 by bending, the threshold flange 32 can be bent toward the inner side of the plate body 31, and the threshold flange 32 and the plate body 31 can be generally arranged vertically.

[0078] The wheel cover 200 includes a cover body 23 and a wheel cover folded edge 24. The wheel cover folded edge 24 is arranged on the side of the cover body 23 facing the plate body 31. The wheel cover folded edge 24 and the cover body 23 are staggered in the thickness direction of the cover body 23, and at least part of the wheel cover folded edge 24 is pressed onto the inner side of the door sill flange 32.

[0079] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the wheel cover folded edge 24 can be integrally formed on the left side of the cover body 23 by bending, the thickness direction of the cover body 23 can be the front-to-back direction, the wheel cover folded edge 24 can be arranged parallel to the cover body 23, and the wheel cover folded edge 24 can be located on the front side of the cover body 23.

[0080] During assembly, as shown in the figure, the sill flange 32 and the wheel arch fold 24 can be arranged in overlapping manner, wherein the sill flange 32 can be located on the rear side of the wheel arch fold 24. Since the sill trim 300 is located on the outside of the wheel arch 200 in the Y direction of the vehicle body, the sill flange 32 can hide the wheel arch fold 24, thereby further improving the appearance.

[0081] In some embodiments, part of the threshold flange 32 is connected to the threshold fold 33, and the threshold fold 33 and the threshold flange 32 are staggered in the thickness direction of the cover body 23. Fig. 9 As shown, a portion of the bottom side of the threshold flange 32 can be integrally formed with a right threshold folded edge 33, the threshold folded edge 33 can be located on the right side of the threshold flange 32, the threshold folded edge 33 and the threshold flange 32 can be arranged roughly in parallel, wherein the threshold folded edge 33 can be located on the front side of the threshold flange 32.

[0082] like Fig. 9 As shown, the cover body 23 is provided with a recess 21 , and the recess 21 and the threshold fold 33 form a groove 500 facing the wheel 400 , the notch of the groove 500 can face the rear side, the spoiler 100 is embedded in the groove 500 , and the fixing hole 22 is provided in the recess 21 .

[0083] Thus, the spoiler 100 can be extended to the boundary of the door sill trim 300 in the Y direction of the vehicle body and overlap with the door sill fold 33, so as to further reduce the wind resistance.

[0084] In some embodiments, the spoiler 100 is used to face the surface of the wheel 400, the cover body 23 is used to face the surface of the wheel 400, and the threshold flange 32 is used to face the surface of the wheel 400. Specifically, since the spoiler 100 is embedded in the groove 500, it is possible to avoid the spoiler 100 protruding from the threshold flange 32 and the cover body 23. Figure 6 As shown, the rear surface of the spoiler 100, the rear surface of the door sill flange 32, and the rear surface of the cover body 23 are substantially located in the same plane and form a step-free design, thereby further improving the overall appearance.

[0085] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, the connection between the plate body 31 and the door sill flange 32 is a rounded corner 34. Thus, on the one hand, stress concentration can be avoided at the connection between the plate body 31 and the door sill flange 32, and on the other hand, the rounded corner 34 is a complete rounded corner, that is, when viewed from the side of the vehicle body, only a complete rounded corner 34 can be seen, so that the spoiler 100 on the right side is blocked by the rounded corner 34, thereby further improving the overall appearance.

[0086] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be construed as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments by those of ordinary skill in the art are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
