[0033] Embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, where like or similar reference numerals denote like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.

[0034] First, refer to Figures 1 - 4 A simple description of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present utility model will be given. The vehicle includes a side skirt structure 100. Specifically, side skirt structures 100 may be provided on both sides in the width direction of the vehicle.

[0035] Next, refer to Figures 1 - 4 Describe the side skirt structure 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model.

[0036] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, the side skirt structure 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present utility model includes: a side skirt body 10 and a flexible decorative panel 40. The flexible decorative panel 40 includes a fixing portion 41, a spoiler portion 42, and an elastic member 43. The fixing portion 41 is connected to the side skirt body 10. The spoiler portion 42 extends in the front-rear direction (such as the front-rear direction shown in Figure 2 ), and is arranged below the fixing portion 41. The spoiler portion 42 is connected to the fixing portion 41 through the elastic member 43, and the elastic member 43 is deformable in the up-down direction (such as the up-down direction shown in Figure 2 ).

[0037] In this embodiment, the side skirt structure 100 includes a side skirt body 10 and a flexible decorative panel 40. The side skirt body 10 can be assembled and fixed to the vehicle body, so that the side skirt structure 100 can be stably and reliably assembled into the vehicle. The side skirt body 10 can extend in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, so that the side skirt body 10 can well fix the spoiler portion 42 extending in the front-rear direction.

[0038] In this embodiment, the flexible decorative panel 40 includes a fixing portion 41, a spoiler portion 42, and an elastic member 43. The fixing portion 41 is connected to the side skirt body 10, with a simple structure and convenient and easy fixing and assembly. The spoiler portion 42 extends in the front-rear direction, so that the spoiler portion 42 can cooperate with the side skirt body 10 to play a good guiding role in the airflow on both sides in the width direction of the vehicle during driving, making the airflow at the bottom of the vehicle flow more smoothly, thereby reducing turbulence and air resistance, and enabling the vehicle to drive better.

[0039] The spoiler part 42 is arranged on the lower side of the fixing part 41, with a simple structure, which can well meet the assembly requirements of the flexible decorative panel 40 and the side skirt body 10, making it more convenient for the spoiler to be assembled and connected to the side skirt body 10 through the fixing part 41. The fixing part 41 and the spoiler part 42 are connected by an elastic member 43, and the elastic member 43 can be deformed in the up and down direction. Specifically, the upper end of the elastic member 43 can be connected to the fixing part 41, and the lower end of the elastic member 43 can be connected to the spoiler part 42. The structure is simple and the arrangement is convenient. The elastic member 43 can be deformed in the up and down direction, so that the relative position of the spoiler part 42 and the fixing part 41 in the up and down direction can change with the elastic deformation of the elastic member 43. For example, when the elastic member 43 is compressed, the spoiler part 42 moves upward relative to the fixing part 41, and when the elastic member 43 returns from the compressed state to the original state, the spoiler part 42 moves downward relative to the fixing part 41.

[0040] When an obstacle is encountered during vehicle driving, when the spoiler part 42 in the flexible decorative panel 40 rubs against the obstacle, the elastic member 43 can be compressed, so that the spoiler part 42 moves upward stably. After passing the obstacle, the spoiler part 42 can move downward and return to its original position under its own gravity, enabling the spoiler part 42 to avoid the obstacle to a certain extent. The compression deformation of the elastic member 43 can buffer the impact force well, thus greatly reducing the impact force when the spoiler part 42 rubs against and collides with the obstacle, avoiding the situation of the flexible decorative panel 40 falling off, and keeping the overall structure of the spoiler part 42, the elastic member 43 and the fixing part 41 in a stable structural state. Therefore, the flexible decorative panel 40 can maintain good structural stability and reliability during the long-term driving of the vehicle, making the stability and reliability of the side skirt structure 100 better.

[0041] According to the side skirt structure 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the side skirt body 10 and the flexible decorative panel 40, the flexible decorative panel 40 includes a fixing part 41, a spoiler part 42 and an elastic member 43, and the fixing part 41 and the spoiler part 42 are connected by the elastic member 43, so that when the side skirt body 10 rubs against and collides with an obstacle, it can be well buffered and avoided, thus well avoiding the situation of the flexible decorative panel 40 falling off, and making the overall structural stability and reliability of the side skirt structure 100 better.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the spoiler part 42 may include a connecting part 421 and a flexible part 422 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The connecting part 421 is connected to the elastic member 43, and the flexible part 422 can be elastically deformed.

[0043] The spoiler part 42 includes a connecting part 421 and a flexible part 422 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The structure is simple. The flexible part 422 is elastically deformable. When the spoiler part 42 rubs and collides with an obstacle, the flexible part 422 can absorb and relieve a certain impact through elastic deformation, thereby reducing the degree of damage to the spoiler part 42 under the action of impact force, making the overall structural stability and impact resistance of the spoiler part 42 better, and thus making the side skirt structure 100 more stable and reliable during the driving of the vehicle.

[0044] In this embodiment, the flexible part 422 is set to be elastically deformable. After the spoiler part 42 passes by an obstacle, the flexible part 422 can return to its original structural state, enabling the spoiler part 42 to maintain a good structural state, so that the spoiler part 42 can form a stable aerodynamic effect, and thus the side skirt structure 100 can stably and reliably meet the needs of vehicle driving.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the connecting part 421 can be a hard rubber part.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connecting part 421 is set as a hard rubber part, so that the connecting part 421 can have good structural strength and rigidity, thereby enabling the connecting part 421 to be stably and reliably connected and fixed with the elastic part 43. The connecting part 421 can stably transmit the impact force, so that the impact force is well dispersed, and thus the structural stability of the spoiler part 42 is better. Setting the connecting part 421 as a hard rubber part can endow the connecting part 421 with certain elasticity, thereby playing a role in buffering and energy absorption to further reduce the probability of damage to the spoiler part 42 when it rubs and collides with an obstacle, making the overall structure of the spoiler part 42 more stable and reliable.

[0047] The hard rubber part has good wear resistance and weather resistance, enabling the connecting part 421 to have a long service life. The connecting part 421 can maintain a stable and reliable structural state in a harsh environment, so that the spoiler part 42 can be stably and reliably connected and fixed with the elastic part 43. For example, the connecting part 421 can be a hard rubber part.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the flexible part 422 can be a soft rubber part. The soft rubber part has good elastic properties. In this embodiment, setting the flexible part 422 as a soft rubber part can enable the flexible part 422 to well absorb and buffer the impact force through its own elastic deformation when rubbing and colliding with an obstacle, thereby further reducing the occurrence of damage to the spoiler part 42 and enabling the spoiler part 42 to maintain a good structural state. For example, the flexible part 422 can be a rubber part with high elasticity.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the connecting part 421 can be a hard rubber part and the flexible part 422 can be a soft rubber part.

[0050] In this embodiment, the connecting portion 421 is set as a hard rubber part, and the flexible portion 422 is set as a soft rubber part, so that the spoiler portion 42 can be stably and reliably connected and fixed to the elastic member 43, and the spoiler portion 42 has good elastic deformation ability, so that the spoiler portion 42 can better relieve impact and absorb energy, so that the spoiler portion 42 can better maintain a stable structural state, and the spoiler portion 42 can cooperate with the side skirt body 10 to stably perform the guiding function. The structure is simple and the use effect is good.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 3 shown, the fixing portion 41 can extend in the up and down direction, the number of elastic members 43 is multiple, the multiple elastic members 43 are arranged at intervals in the front and back direction, and the lower end of the fixing portion 41 is fixedly connected to the multiple elastic members 43.

[0052] In this embodiment, setting the fixing portion 41 to extend in the up and down direction can make the fixing portion 41 have good structural strength in the up and down direction, so that the fixing portion 41 can play a good role in supporting and fixing the elastic member 43 and the spoiler portion 42, so that the spoiler portion 42 and the elastic member 43 can be stably and reliably connected and fixed to the fixing portion 41.

[0053] In this embodiment, a plurality of elastic members 43 arranged at intervals in the front and back direction are provided, and the plurality of elastic members 43 are all connected to the fixing portion 41. The structure is simple and the connection strength between the fixing portion 41 and the spoiler portion 42 can be well improved, so that the spoiler portion can be stably and reliably connected and fixed to the fixing portion 41 through the plurality of elastic members 43. The plurality of elastic members 43 can increase the energy absorption and buffering ability when the spoiler portion 42 scrapes and collides with an obstacle, so that the impact force can obtain a better buffering effect, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the flexible trim 40 and making the stability and reliability of the side skirt structure 100 better. For example, the number of elastic members 43 can be two, three, four, etc., and the plurality of elastic members 43 are arranged at intervals in the front and back direction. Optionally, the elastic member 43 can be a spring.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 shown, the flexible trim 40 may further include a guide rod 44, the guide rod 44 extends in the up and down direction and is connected to the spoiler portion 42, and the elastic member 43 is sleeved on the guide rod 44.

[0055] In this embodiment, a guide rod 44 is provided. The guide rod 44 can play a good guiding role in the elastic deformation of the elastic member 43 in the up and down directions, so that the spoiler portion 42 can stably move up and down following the elastic deformation of the elastic member 43, making the movement of the spoiler portion 42 more stable and reliable. Specifically, the fixing portion 41 can be provided with a through hole, and the guide rod 44 is arranged through the through hole, so that the guide rod 44 and the fixing portion 41 can cooperate to play a good guiding role in the elastic deformation of the elastic member 43.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the guide rod 44 can be integrally formed with the spoiler portion 42. This can facilitate the processing of the guide rod 44 and make the connection between the guide rod 44 and the spoiler portion 42 firm. Specifically, referring to Figure 3 as shown, the spoiler portion 42 can be formed with a mating flange. The mating flange extends in the horizontal direction. The guide rod 44 can be arranged on the mating flange, and the elastic member 43 is fixedly connected to the mating flange. The mating flange can provide a good installation position for the connection and fixation of the spoiler portion 42 with the elastic member 43 and the guide rod 44, making it more convenient to connect and fix the spoiler portion 42 with the fixing portion 41.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the side skirt structure 100 can further include a driving motor 20. The driving motor 20 is arranged on the side skirt body 10. The driving motor 20 is in transmission connection with the flexible decorative plate 40, and the driving motor 20 is used to drive the flexible decorative plate 40 to move in the up and down directions.

[0058] In this embodiment, the driving motor 20 is provided to drive the side skirt flexible decorative plate 40 to move in the up and down directions. For example, when the vehicle is traveling at a high speed, the driving motor 20 drives the flexible decorative plate 40 to move downward, reducing the ground clearance of the side skirt structure 100, so that the side skirt structure 100 can better perform the flow guiding operation, making the air flow velocity on both sides of the vehicle faster and the air flow entering the bottom of the vehicle less, so that the air flow can flow through the bottom of the vehicle more smoothly and quickly, reducing the air resistance of the vehicle and making the air pressure at the bottom lower, thereby increasing the downforce of the vehicle and making the vehicle more reliable in operation and more stable when traveling at a high speed.

[0059] In this embodiment, the driving motor 20 is provided to drive the flexible decorative plate 40 to move up and down. The structure is simple, the driving is reliable, and the adjustment is convenient, which can well meet the need of the vehicle to adjust the ground clearance of the side skirt structure 100.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present utility model, the number of driving motors 20 can be one or more. In this embodiment, setting one driving motor 20 can meet the driving requirements of the side skirt structure 100. Setting multiple driving motors 20 can provide a greater driving force for the movement of the flexible trim 40, so as to better meet the driving requirements of the side skirt structure 100. For example, the number of driving motors 20 can be one, two, three, four, etc., and the number of driving motors 20 can be reasonably set according to actual needs.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the side skirt structure 100 may further include a transmission assembly 30. The transmission assembly 30 may include: a gear 31 and a rack 32. The gear 31 is in transmission connection with the driving motor 20. The rack 32 extends in the up and down direction and is fixedly connected to the fixing part 41. The gear 31 meshes with the rack 32 for transmission.

[0062] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 30 includes a gear 31 and a rack 32. The rack 32 is fixedly connected to the fixing part 41 and meshes with the gear 31. The driving motor 20 drives the gear 31 to rotate, so that the gear 31 drives the rack 32 to move in the up and down direction. Thus, the fixing part 41 moves up and down as needed, and then drives the elastic member 43 and the spoiler part 42 to move up and down as a whole, so as to realize the adjustment of the distance between the side skirt structure 100 and the ground. The structure is simple, and the transmission is reliable and efficient.

[0063] In some examples of the present utility model, as Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, the transmission assembly 30 may further include a rotating shaft 33. The rotating shaft 33 extends in the front and back direction. The rotating shaft 33 is rotatably fixed on the side skirt body 10. The rotating shaft 33 is in transmission connection with the driving motor 20. The gear 31 is fixed on the rotating shaft 33.

[0064] In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 30 is further provided with a rotating shaft 33. The rotating shaft 33 is rotatably fixed on the side skirt body 10. The gear 31 is fixed on the rotating shaft 33. When adjusting the height of the flexible trim 40 relative to the ground, that is, adjusting the ground clearance of the side skirt structure 100, the driving motor 20 operates, and the driving motor 20 drives the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, so that the gear 31 rotates and drives the rack 32 to move up and down. The rotating shaft 33 extends in the front and back and is fixed on the side skirt body 10, which can have good structural strength, enabling the rotating shaft 33 to drive the gear 31 to rotate stably and reliably, so that the transmission assembly 30 can operate stably and reliably, and enabling the driving motor 20 to stably drive the flexible trim 40 to move up and down.

[0065] In an example of the present utility model, referring to Figure 2As shown, the side skirt body 10 can be provided with a plurality of mounting plates 11. The plurality of mounting plates 11 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction, and the rotating shaft 33 is rotatably arranged on the plurality of mounting plates 11.

[0066] In this embodiment, a plurality of mounting plates 11 arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction are provided. The structure is simple, which can make the rotating shaft 33 more stably and firmly fixed on the side skirt body 10, so that the rotation can more stably drive the gear 31 to rotate, and further enable the flexible decorative plate 40 to stably move in the up-down direction as needed, thereby making the overall structure of the side skirt structure 100 more stable and the operation more reliable. For example, the number of the mounting plates 11 can be two, three, four, five, six, seven, etc. The specific number of the mounting plates 11 can be reasonably set according to the extension length of the side skirt body 10 and the arrangement length of the rotating shaft 33, etc.

[0067] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the side skirt structure 100 can further include a guide member 50. The guide member 50 cooperates with the mounting plate 11 to define a guide space, and the rack 32 is movably disposed in the guide space in the up-down direction.

[0068] In this embodiment, the guide member 50 is provided. The guide member 50 cooperates with the mounting plate 11 to define a guide space, and the rack 32 is movably disposed in the guide space in the up-down direction. The guide member 50 and the mounting plate 11 can cooperate to play a role in limiting and guiding the rack 32, avoiding the situation that the rack 32 is skewed and the meshing with the gear 31 fails, so that the rack 32 can stably move in the up-down direction under the action of the driving motor 20 to drive the flexible decorative plate 40 to move up and down, thereby enabling the transmission assembly 30 to stably and reliably perform the transmission operation and making the operation of the side skirt structure 100 more stable and reliable.

[0069] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the number of the guide members 50 is multiple, and the multiple guide members 50 are arranged at intervals in the up-down direction. In this way, the guide member 50 and the mounting plate 11 can cooperate to play a more stable and reliable role in limiting and guiding the rack 32. For example, the number of the guide members 50 can be two, three, four, etc. The number of the guide members 50 can be reasonably set according to needs. Exemplarily, the guide space defined by the cooperation of the guide member 50 and the mounting plate 11 can match the cross-sectional shape of the rack 32 in the horizontal direction. In this way, the guide member 50 and the mounting plate 11 can play a better role in limiting and guiding the rack 32, enabling the rack 32 to move more stably and reliably in the up-down direction.

[0070] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, a limiting flange 111 can be formed at the lower end of the mounting plate 11. The limiting flange 111 extends in the front-rear direction and is located below the rack 32. This can play a good limiting role in the downward movement of the rack 32, avoiding the situation where the flexible decorative panel 40 abuts against the ground due to excessive downward movement of the rack 32, and enabling the side skirt structure 100 to operate stably and well.

[0071] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, a buffer member can be provided on the upper side of the limiting flange 111, and the buffer member is arranged between the rack 32 and the limiting flange 111.

[0072] In this embodiment, the setting of the buffer member can play a very good buffering role when the rack 32 collides with the limiting flange 111, so that the rack 32 and the mounting plate 11 can maintain a good structural state, and the operation of the rack 32 is more stable and reliable.

[0073] In some specific embodiments of the present utility model, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the number of the fixing parts 41 can be multiple, and the multiple fixing parts 41 are arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction.

[0074] In this embodiment, the number of the fixing parts 41 is set to be multiple, and the rack 32 can be correspondingly provided with multiple ones. The multiple fixing parts 41 can move up and down simultaneously under the driving action of the multiple racks 32, so that the spoiler part 42 can move up and down more stably and reliably in the front-rear direction, thereby avoiding the situation where the spoiler part 42 moves inconsistently at different positions in the front-rear direction, and making the distance adjustment of the flexible decorative panel 40 relative to the ground more stable and reliable.

[0075] Specifically, the multiple gears 31 are all fixed on the rotating shaft 33. The rotating shaft 33 rotates under the drive of the driving motor 20, so that the multiple gears 31 rotate synchronously. The multiple gears 31 are respectively meshed and driven with the corresponding racks 32, so that the multiple racks 32 move up and down synchronously, thereby enabling the multiple fixing parts 41 to move up and down synchronously, and further enabling the flexible decorative panel 40 to move up and down stably and reliably as a whole in the front-rear direction. Among them, the number and arrangement of the guiding members 50 cooperating with the mounting plate 11 and the elastic members 43 in the flexible decorative panel 40 can be set correspondingly according to the number and arrangement of the fixing parts 41 and the racks 32, which will not be described in detail here.

[0076] Specifically, the racks 32 and the fixing parts 41 can be arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the fixing parts 41 can also cooperate with multiple racks 32. For example, one fixing part 41 can be fixedly connected with two racks 32 to further improve the stability of the up and down movement of the fixing part 41, and the multiple racks 32 cooperate with the gears 31 to drive the fixing part 41 to move up and down, so that the fixing part 41 can be stably supported, thereby making the overall structure of the side skirt structure 100 more stable and reliable.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the rotating shaft 33 may include: a plurality of rotating shaft 33 segments and connecting segments. The plurality of rotating shaft 33 segments are arranged in the front-rear direction, and two adjacent rotating shaft 33 segments are connected by a connecting segment.
