[0032] Next, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 to describe the baffle 100 according to the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0033] As Figure 1 shown, the baffle 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a baffle body 1.

[0034] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the baffle 100 is for a vehicle, and the vehicle includes an upper deflector 2, an air filter, and a hood lock 5. The upper deflector 2 and the air filter are disposed on the vehicle body, and the hood lock 5 and the inlet 4 of the air filter are located above the upper deflector 2 and are spaced apart in the left-right direction of the vehicle.

[0035] The upper deflector 2, the air filter, and the hood lock 5 are all disposed in the engine compartment in front of the vehicle. A grille is also provided in front of the vehicle, and the grille is opposite to the lower space of the upper deflector 2. The grille serves as an air inlet for the engine compartment, so that sufficient air can enter the engine compartment to meet the operating requirements of the engine in the engine compartment. The upper deflector 2 is used for guiding the air, and the upper deflector 2 is provided with openings, so that the air can flow through the openings to the upper part of the upper deflector 2, and then flow to the inlet 4 of the air filter located above the upper deflector 2. The air filter is disposed at the air inlet of the engine and can effectively filter out particulate matters such as dust, sand grains, and impurities in the air, ensuring that pure air enters the engine to protect the precision components inside the engine from wear, thereby extending the service life of the engine. A protective cover is provided above the engine, and the hood lock 5 is used to open or close the cover.

[0036] During the driving process of the vehicle, air enters the engine compartment from the grille, and then flows through the openings of the upper deflector 2 and the gaps around the hood lock 5 to the upper part of the upper deflector 2, so that it can flow into the inlet 4 of the air filter to meet the operating requirements of the engine in the engine compartment.

[0037] Furthermore, the baffle body 1 is disposed above the upper deflector 2 and is connected to the upper deflector 2. The baffle body 1 includes a first plate body 11 and a second plate body 12. The first plate body 11 is disposed perpendicular to the left-right direction of the vehicle and is located between the inlet 4 of the air filter and the hood lock 5, and the second plate body 12 is perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the vehicle and is located in front of the inlet 4 of the air filter.

[0038] It is understandable that the air entering the engine compartment from the grille is accompanied by impurities such as sand and gravel. Especially when the vehicle is driving in snowy weather, a large amount of snow will be mixed in the air entering the engine compartment. In the left-right direction of the vehicle, a first plate body 11 is provided between the inlet 4 of the air filter and the hood lock 5. The opening on the upper deflector 2 is provided on the side of the first plate body 11 facing away from the inlet 4 of the air filter. Thus, when the air accompanied by impurities such as sand, gravel and snow flows through the opening of the upper deflector 2 and the gap around the hood lock 5 to the upper side of the upper deflector 2, it will flow through the first plate body 11 and then to the inlet 4 of the air filter. The first plate body 11 can block at least part of the impurities such as sand, gravel and snow. At the same time, the air is prone to form a swirling flow under the disturbance of the first plate body 11, which helps to separate impurities such as snow from the air, so as to reduce the content of impurities carried in the air entering the air filter, thereby reducing the risk of air filter blockage, and further ensuring the air intake and operation stability of the engine.

[0039] At the same time, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, a second plate body 12 is provided in front of the inlet 4 of the air filter, and the second plate body 12 is opposite to the inlet 4 of the air filter in the left-right direction of the vehicle. Thus, the air flowing directly from the grille to the inlet 4 of the air filter will be blocked by the second plate body 12 to filter impurities, and the air flowing through the first plate body 11 will be further blocked by the second plate body 12, which can further filter the sand, gravel, snow and other impurities carried in the air. And the air forms a swirling flow again under the disturbance of the second plate body 12, which can further enhance the turbulent state of the air, so as to further enhance the separation effect of impurities such as snow from the air, making less impurities enter the air filter along with the air, thus more effectively reducing the risk of air filter blockage, and further better ensuring the air intake and operation stability of the engine.

[0040] In addition, the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 are arranged substantially perpendicular to each other, with simple structure, easy to implement and low cost. Without changing the structure of other components of the vehicle, the problem that the air filter is easily blocked by impurities can be solved, and it can be applied to different vehicles, with high applicability and versatility.

[0041] The baffle 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model includes a baffle body 1 including a first plate body 11 and a second plate body 12 disposed above the diversion plate. The first plate body 11 is disposed perpendicular to the left - right direction of the vehicle and is located between the inlet 4 of the air filter and the hood lock 5, and the second plate body 12 is perpendicular to the front - rear direction of the vehicle and is located in front of the inlet 4 of the air filter. It can filter the air entering the air filter to block at least part of the impurities such as sand, snow, etc. entrained in the air, effectively reducing the impurities entering the air filter along with the air, thereby reducing the risk of blockage of the air filter, and further ensuring the intake air volume of the engine and its operating stability. At the same time, the structure of the baffle 100 is simple and the cost is low. Without changing the structures of other components of the vehicle, the problem that the air filter is easily blocked by impurities can be solved, and it has high applicability and versatility.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the lower end of the first plate body 11 has a first notch 111. The air flowing through the opening of the upper diversion plate 2 and the gap around the hood lock 5 to the upper part of the upper diversion plate 2 can flow through the first notch 111 and pass through the first plate body 11. While ensuring the function of the first plate body 11 to block impurities, the first notch 111 can increase the air circulation, thereby ensuring the air volume flowing to the inlet 4 of the air filter, and further ensuring the intake air volume of the engine to ensure its operating stability.

[0043] In addition, the first notch 111 is provided at the lower end of the first plate body 11. After the air passes through the lower end of the first plate body 11, it will be blocked by the second plate body 12, and after forming a swirl, it flows into the inlet 4 of the air filter from above the second plate body 12. Thus, the blocking and filtering effect on the air can be improved, the turbulent state of the air can be enhanced, so that the impurities are better separated from the air, and thus the effect of reducing the impurities entering the air filter is better achieved.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, one end of the second plate body 12 close to the hood lock 5 in the left - right direction of the vehicle is connected to the rear end of the first plate body 11. An L - shaped integral structure of the baffle body 1 can be realized, which is beneficial to realizing double - layer filtering of the air by the baffle body 1 in the left - right direction and the front - rear direction of the vehicle to block the impurities in the air, and further reducing the risk of blockage of the air filter. At the same time, connecting one end of the first plate body 11 to one end of the second plate body 12 is also convenient for processing.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2As shown, a reinforcing rib 121 protruding towards one side in the thickness direction of the second plate body 12 is provided on the second plate body 12. The second plate body 12 is provided at the inlet 4 of the air filter with relatively high pressure. The reinforcing rib 121 can enhance the structural strength of the second plate body 12, thereby avoiding deformation of the second plate body 12 under the action of air flow pressure, extending the service life of the baffle 100, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the performance of the baffle 100 in blocking impurities in the air.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a second avoidance notch 122 for avoiding components on the upper guide plate 2 is provided on the second plate body 12. The upper guide plate 2 is provided with structures such as reinforcing ribs. By providing the second avoidance notch 122, it is beneficial to the connection between the second plate body 12 and the upper guide plate 2, and can avoid interference between the structures on the baffle 100 and the upper guide plate 2, and the structural design is reasonable.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a connecting plate 13 is provided at the lower end of at least one of the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12. The connecting plate 13 is substantially perpendicular to the up-down direction, and the connecting plate 13 is connected to the upper guide plate 2. The connecting plate 13 is substantially perpendicular to the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12, that is, the extending direction of the connecting plate 13 is substantially the same as the extending direction of the upper guide plate 2, which is convenient for fixing the first plate body 11 and the second plate body above the upper guide plate 2, can reduce the installation difficulty, and is convenient for installation and operation.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the connecting plate 13 is connected to the upper guide plate 2 in a snap-fit manner, and a snap 131 for connecting with the upper guide plate 2 in a snap-fit manner is provided on the connecting plate 13. A corresponding card hole can be provided on the upper guide plate 2, and an operator can press the snap 131 into the card hole to achieve the snap-fit connection between the connecting plate 13 and the upper guide plate 2. The connection stability between the connecting plate 13 and the upper guide plate 2 can be ensured, and the installation operation is simple, which can improve the assembly efficiency of the baffle 100 and the upper guide plate 2. At the same time, the detachable connection between the baffle 100 and the upper guide plate 2 can also be realized, which is convenient for subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, the baffle 100 is an integral part. Thereby, the structural strength of the baffle 100 can be enhanced, and the stability and reliability of the baffle 100 can be ensured, thereby extending the service life of the baffle 100. And by integrally processing the baffle 100, the assembly process can be simplified, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.

[0050] Among them, the baffle 100 can be integrally processed by processes such as die-casting, or the first plate body 11, the second plate body 12 and the connecting plate 13 can be processed separately, and then the first plate body 11, the second plate body 12 and the connecting plate 13 are connected into an integral part by a welding process. The processing method of the baffle 100 is not specifically limited in this application.

[0051] The vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

The inlet 4 of the air filter is located above the upper air deflector 2. The hood lock 5 is provided above the upper air deflector 2 and is spaced from the inlet 4 of the air filter in the left-right direction of the vehicle.

The second plate body 12 is perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the vehicle and is located in front of the inlet 4 of the air filter.

At the same time, the structure of the baffle 100 is simple and the cost is low. Without changing the structure of other components of the vehicle, the problem that the air filter is easily blocked by impurities can be solved, and it has high applicability and versatility.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the vehicle further includes side air deflectors 3. The upper air deflector 2 is provided with side air deflectors 3 extending downward at both ends in the left-right direction of the vehicle. The side air deflectors 3 can prevent the air entering the engine compartment from the grille from flowing toward the left and right sides of the engine compartment, and can cooperate with the upper air deflector 2 to guide the air flow toward the inlet 4 of the air filter to ensure the intake air demand of the engine.

[0056] Among them, as Figure 1In the illustrated example, the vehicle is further provided with a front-end module bracket 6 for fixedly mounting the upper air deflector 2 and the side air deflector 3.
