Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of vehicle accessories, and particularly relates to a fairing and a truck applied to a truck. Background Art

[0002] A fairing is an air guiding device installed on the top of the front of a freight truck or a towing truck. Its main function is to effectively reduce the air resistance when the truck is driving at high speed and reduce fuel consumption.

[0003] Now, many truck owners need to drive long distances. The single freight duration may last for several days, and the round-trip duration can even reach more than ten days. Inevitably, they need to rest and live in the truck during the journey. Therefore, the storage requirements for the vehicle are getting higher and higher. There is no place to store many large items, such as quilts and tarpaulins, which is very inconvenient. There is an increasing demand for the storage space of large trucks. The fairing surface of the fairing plays a guiding role, and the idle internal space causes waste of the truck space. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a fairing and a truck applied to a truck to solve the technical problem of insufficient storage space of traditional trucks.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] A fairing applied to a truck is installed on the top of the front of the truck and includes a housing. The housing has a guiding surface facing the front side of the truck head. The interior of the housing is hollow to form a receiving cavity. The housing has a storage opening located behind the guiding surface. The receiving cavity is communicated with the outside through the storage opening. A vertically extending support rod and a partition plate extending in the horizontal direction are provided in the receiving cavity. Both ends of the support rod are respectively abutted against the top surface and the bottom surface of the housing. The partition plate divides the receiving cavity into a first cavity located above and a second cavity located below. A plurality of mounting positions are provided on the support rod along its extending direction. The partition plate is detachably connected to the support rod through the mounting positions.

[0007] The fairing applied to a truck in this application further includes the following additional technical features:

[0008] The partition plate is provided with positioning protrusions. The support rod is provided with positioning slots adapted to the positioning protrusions at the corresponding mounting positions. The partition plate is connected to the support rod through the insertion fit of the positioning protrusions and the positioning slots.

[0009] The outer edge of the partition plate is adapted to the shape of the housing, so that when the positioning protrusions are connected to the positioning slots, the partition plate abuts against the housing.

[0010] The number of the support rods is two, and the two support rods are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the cover body.

[0011] The flow guide cover is provided with an opening and closing plate at the storage opening. The opening and closing plate has an open position for opening the storage opening and a closed position for closing the storage opening, and the opening and closing plate can be switched between the open position and the closed position.

[0012] The opening and closing plate includes a first plate body corresponding to the first cavity and a second plate body corresponding to the second cavity. The first plate body and the second plate body are respectively hinged to the cover body.

[0013] The cover body includes a bottom plate located below the flow guide surface. The bottom plate is provided with a flow guide groove for guiding the liquid in the second cavity to flow out.

[0014] The present application also provides a truck, which includes a truck head and further includes the flow guide cover applied to the truck as described above. The flow guide cover is installed on the truck head.

[0015] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects obtained by the present application are as follows:

[0016] 1. The fairing of the present application includes a housing body. The fairing surface of the housing body plays a role in guiding the flow, which is used to reduce the wind resistance during the driving of the truck. The interior of the housing body is hollow to form a receiving cavity, which can be used to store clothes, quilts, tarpaulins, etc., making full use of the internal space of the fairing and improving the storage capacity of the truck. For long-distance truck drivers, they often need to live in the vehicle, so they need more daily necessities. The receiving cavity inside the fairing provides a receiving space for these daily necessities, relieving the storage pressure in the cab. In addition, the storage opening is located at the rear side of the fairing surface. On the one hand, users can take and place items from the receiving cavity through the storage opening at the rear side of the fairing. Since the rear part of the truck is usually the cargo area, the cargo area provides a standing position for users to take items from the receiving cavity, facilitating user operation. On the other hand, opening the storage opening at the rear side of the fairing surface can avoid processing the fairing surface, helping to maintain the integrity of the fairing surface and ensuring the fairing effect of the fairing. Moreover, a partition board is provided in the receiving cavity. The partition board divides the receiving cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity, facilitating users to place different types of items in the first cavity and the second cavity respectively according to the storage needs. For example, items with lighter weights such as clothes can be placed in the upper first cavity, and items with heavier weights and easily soiled exteriors such as toolboxes and tarpaulins can be placed in the lower second cavity, which can not only avoid the mutual influence between items but also reduce the bearing pressure on the partition board. And the fairing of the present application further includes a support rod provided in the receiving cavity. The setting of the support rod, on the one hand, plays a vertical supporting role for the fairing. During the high-speed driving of the vehicle, the air pressure borne by the housing body is relatively large, and the support rod can bear part of the vertical component force generated by the housing body under the action of the air pressure, thereby increasing the bearing capacity of the housing body. On the other hand, a plurality of mounting positions are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on the support rod, providing mounting positions at different vertical heights for the partition board. By adjusting the vertical mounting position of the partition board, the sizes of the first cavity and the second cavity can be adjusted. For example, when there are more and larger items such as tarpaulins and tools that need to be placed in the second cavity, and fewer and smaller items such as clothes that need to be placed in the first cavity, the partition board can be selected to be installed in the mounting position located at the upper part of the support rod, reducing the volume of the first cavity while increasing the volume of the second cavity, and vice versa. In this way, it is convenient for users to adjust flexibly according to the usage needs, enhancing the user experience. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, a fairing applied to a truck is installed on the top of the front of the truck 1, and includes a housing 2. The housing 2 has a guiding surface 21 facing the front side of the front of the truck 1. The inside of the housing 2 is hollow to form a receiving cavity 3. The housing 2 has a storage opening 22 located at the rear side of the guiding surface 21. The receiving cavity 3 communicates with the outside through the storage opening 22. A vertically extending support rod 4 and a horizontally extending partition plate 5 are provided in the receiving cavity 3. Both ends of the support rod 4 are in contact with the top surface and the bottom surface of the housing 2 respectively. The partition plate 5 divides the receiving cavity 3 into a first cavity 31 located above and a second cavity 32 located below. The support rod 4 is provided with a plurality of mounting positions along its extending direction. The partition plate 5 is detachably connected to the support rod 4 through the mounting positions.

[0037] The fairing of the present application includes a fairing body 2. The flow guiding surface 21 of the fairing body 2 plays a role in guiding the flow, which is used to reduce the wind resistance during the driving of the truck. The interior of the fairing body 2 is hollow to form a receiving cavity 3, which can be used to store clothes, quilts, tarpaulins, etc., making full use of the internal space of the fairing and improving the storage capacity of the truck. For long-distance truck drivers, they often need to live in the vehicle, so they need more daily necessities. The receiving cavity 3 inside the fairing provides a storage space for these daily necessities, alleviating the storage pressure in the cab. In addition, the storage opening 22 is located at the rear side of the flow guiding surface 21. On the one hand, users can take items in and out of the receiving cavity 3 through the storage opening 22 at the rear side of the fairing. Since the rear part of the truck is usually a cargo area, the cargo area provides a standing position for users to take items from the receiving cavity 3, facilitating user operation. On the other hand, opening the storage opening 22 at the rear side of the flow guiding surface 21 can avoid processing the flow guiding surface 21, helping to maintain the integrity of the flow guiding surface 21 and ensuring the flow guiding effect of the fairing. Moreover, a partition plate 5 is also provided in the receiving cavity 3. The partition plate 5 divides the receiving cavity 3 into a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32, which is convenient for users to place different types of items in the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 respectively according to the storage needs. For example, lighter items such as clothes can be placed in the upper first cavity 31, and heavier items such as toolboxes and tarpaulins, which are prone to getting dirty on the outside, can be placed in the lower second cavity 32. This can not only avoid the mutual influence between items but also reduce the bearing pressure on the partition plate 5. And the fairing of the present application also includes a support rod 4 provided in the receiving cavity 3. The setting of the support rod 4, on the one hand, plays a vertical supporting role for the fairing. During the high-speed driving of the vehicle, the air pressure borne by the fairing body 2 is relatively large. The support rod 4 can bear part of the vertical component force generated by the air pressure acting on the fairing body 2, thereby increasing the pressure-bearing capacity of the fairing body 2. On the other hand, a plurality of mounting positions are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on the support rod 4, providing mounting positions at different vertical heights for the partition plate 5. By adjusting the vertical mounting position of the partition plate 5, the sizes of the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 can be adjusted. For example, when there are more and larger items such as tarpaulins and tools that need to be placed in the second cavity 32, and fewer and smaller items such as clothes that need to be placed in the first cavity 31, the partition plate 5 can be selected to be installed in the mounting position at the upper part of the support rod 4, reducing the volume of the first cavity 31 and increasing the volume of the second cavity 32, and vice versa. In this way, it is convenient for users to adjust flexibly according to the usage needs, enhancing the user experience.

[0038] Here, the statement that the storage opening 22 is located at the rear side of the flow guiding surface 21 means that after the fairing is installed on the top of the vehicle head 1, along the front direction of the vehicle head 1 is the front side of the flow guiding surface 21, and along the rear direction of the vehicle head 1, that is, the direction of the cargo area, is the rear side of the flow guiding surface 21. The storage opening 22 is located on the side of the flow guiding surface 21 close to the cargo area at the rear of the vehicle.

[0039] This application does not limit the installation position of the support rod 4 and the structural form of the partition plate 5. In one embodiment, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 shown, the support rod 4 is arranged in the middle of the accommodation cavity 3. The partition plate 5 includes a first plate body 52 and a second plate body 53 located on the left and right sides of the support rod 4 respectively. Taking the first plate body 52 as an example, when installing the first plate body 52, the first plate body 52 is inserted into the accommodation cavity 3 from the space on the left side of the support rod 4. After the positioning protrusion 51 of the first plate body 52 is connected to the positioning card slot 41 of the support rod 4, the first plate body 52 abuts against the inner surface of the cover body 2. Similarly, the installation of the second plate body 53 is the same. After the first plate body 52 and the second plate body 53 are installed, the first plate body 52 abuts against the second plate body 53 to separate the first cavity 31 from the second cavity 32. In another embodiment, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, the support rod 4 is located at a position near the front side of the guiding surface 21, that is, on the side away from the storage port 22. The partition plate 5 extends horizontally into the accommodation cavity 3. After the partition plate 5 is installed, the side part of the partition plate 5 abuts against part of the cover body 2. In this embodiment, the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 are connected in some areas corresponding to the front side of the support rod 4 and the cover body 2.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment of this application, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 shown, the partition plate 5 is provided with a positioning protrusion 51, and the support rod 4 is provided with a positioning card slot 41 adapted to the positioning protrusion 51 at the corresponding installation position. The partition plate 5 is connected to the support rod 4 through the insertion fit of the positioning protrusion 51 and the positioning card slot 41. Through the insertion fit of the positioning card slot 41 and the positioning protrusion 51, the connection between the partition plate 5 and the support rod 4 is more convenient. The installation and separation of the partition plate 5 and the support rod 4 can be achieved by pushing or pulling along the horizontal direction, reducing the installation difficulty of the partition plate 5. Of course, this application does not limit the detachable connection method between the support rod 4 and the partition plate 5. In another embodiment, the support rod 4 is provided with first threaded holes at each installation position, and the partition plate 5 is provided with second threaded holes corresponding to the first threaded holes. The partition plate 5 and the support rod 4 are connected by bolts.

[0041] Preferably, the outer edge of the partition plate 5 is adapted to the shape of the cover body 2, so that when the positioning protrusion 51 is connected to the positioning card slot 41, the partition plate 5 abuts against the cover body 2. With such a setting, after the partition plate 5 is installed, since the partition plate 5 abuts against the cover body 2, the cover body 2 can bear part of the vertical component force from the partition plate 5, that is, the cover body 2 can play a certain supporting role for the partition plate 5, which helps to improve the installation strength of the partition plate 5 and reduce the bearing pressure of the support rod 4.

[0042] Further, the inner wall of the cover 2 is provided with supporting protrusions at the heights corresponding to each installation position. When the partition plate 5 is connected to the support rod 4 and the partition plate 5 abuts against the cover 2, it is located on the supporting protrusions, that is, the supporting protrusions undertake the supporting effect on the partition plate 5.

[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, as Figure 5 shown, the number of the support rods 4 is two, and the two support rods 4 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the cover 2. Setting the number of the support rods 4 to two can reduce the supporting pressure of a single support rod 4 on the partition plate 5 and improve the installation stability of the partition plate 5.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the fairing is provided with an opening and closing plate at the storage opening 22. The opening and closing plate has an open position for opening the storage opening 22 and a closed position for closing the storage opening 22, and the opening and closing plate can be switched between the open position and the closed position. By providing the opening and closing plate, the opening or closing of the storage opening 22 can be realized, so as to realize the opening or closing of the accommodation cavity 3. When the user needs to access items, the opening and closing plate is switched to the open position to access the items, and at other times, the opening and closing plate is switched to the closed position. The opening and closing plate plays a protective role for the items in the accommodation cavity 3 and reduces the influence of the external environment on the items inside the accommodation cavity 3.

[0045] Preferably, the opening and closing plate includes a first opening and closing plate corresponding to the first cavity 31 and a second opening and closing plate corresponding to the second cavity 32, and the first opening and closing plate and the second opening and closing plate are respectively hinged to the cover 2. By providing the first opening and closing plate and the second opening and closing plate, the separate opening of the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 can be realized. When the user needs to take the items in the first cavity 31 or store the items in the first cavity 31, only the first opening and closing plate needs to be opened, and the same is true for storing the items in the second cavity 32.

[0046] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the cover 2 includes a bottom plate located below the flow guiding surface 21, and the bottom plate is provided with a flow guiding groove for guiding the liquid in the second cavity 32 to flow out. By providing the flow guiding groove on the bottom plate of the cover 2, the liquid in the second cavity 32 can be guided. When items such as tarpaulins that are prone to water seepage are stored in the second cavity 32, the flow guiding groove can play a role in draining the liquid flowing out of them, preventing the liquid from accumulating in the second cavity 32 and reducing the cleaning pressure of the user.

[0047] As Figure 7 shown, a truck includes a cab 1, and also includes the fairing applied to the truck as described above. The fairing is installed on the cab 1. The fairing in the truck of the present application has an accommodation cavity 3 with sufficient accommodation space, and the driver can carry more daily necessities, providing convenience for the driver.

[0048] What is not described in the present application can be realized by adopting or referring to the existing technology.

[0049] Each embodiment in this specification is described in a progressive manner. For the same or similar parts among the embodiments, reference can be made to each other, and the differences between each embodiment and other embodiments are emphasized.

[0050] The above description is only for the embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the scope of the claims of the present application.
