[0031] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0032] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0033] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a vehicle 100 includes a radiator 110 and a deflector assembly 120 . The deflector assembly 120 includes a deflector cover 121 . A first opening 1211 of the deflector cover 121 forms an air outlet that is open to one side of the radiator 110 .

[0034] The radiator 110 is used to exchange heat for the engine to reduce the temperature of the engine and prevent the engine from malfunctioning due to overheating. A first opening 1211 is provided on the side of the air duct 121 close to the radiator 110, and the air duct 121 can be covered on the radiator 110 through the first opening 1211. External air can flow into the air duct 121 and flow to the radiator 110 through the air outlet formed by the first opening 1211, so that the radiator 110 is cooled by the external airflow, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 110 to the engine.

[0035] It should be noted that “external airflow” refers to the airflow formed by the air in the external environment.

[0036] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the X-direction projection of the vehicle 100, the first opening 1211 forms a first annular projection, and the radiator 110 forms a second projection. The first projection surrounds the second projection and is spaced apart from the second projection. That is, in the circumferential direction of the second projection, the inner edge of the first projection is spaced apart from the second projection, so that the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 can be staggered with the radiator 110.

[0037] It should be noted that the "X direction" refers to the front and rear direction of the vehicle 100. For specific directions, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 shown.

[0038] When the vehicle 100 collides and the air deflector 121 is crushed and deformed, the air deflector 121 and the radiator 110 are offset, which helps prevent the air deflector 121 from directly squeezing the radiator 110, thereby preventing damage to the radiator 110 and reducing the maintenance cost of the vehicle 100.

[0039] In the related art, the first opening of the air deflector is directly opposite to the radiator. When the vehicle collides at a low speed and the air deflector is crushed and deformed, the air deflector will directly squeeze the radiator, causing damage to the radiator. Since the maintenance cost of the radiator is high, the maintenance cost of the vehicle is also high.

[0040] The present application realizes that the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 is misaligned with the radiator 110 by making a first projection formed by the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 in the X direction of the vehicle 100 surround the second projection formed by the radiator 110 in the X direction of the vehicle 100, and making the first projection and the second projection spaced apart, so as to prevent the air duct 121 from directly squeezing the radiator 110 when the vehicle 100 is involved in a low-speed collision, thereby preventing damage to the radiator 110 and reducing the repair cost of the vehicle 100 after a low-speed collision.

[0041] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide assembly 120 further includes a seal 122, which is connected between the air guide cover 121 and the radiator 110. By setting the seal 122 to achieve sealing between the air guide cover 121 and the radiator 110, it is beneficial to improve the effect of external airflow to the radiator 110, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the external airflow on the radiator 110.

[0042] Optionally, the seal 122 can be clamped between the air duct 121 and the radiator 110, which is beneficial to simplify the structure of the vehicle 100 and thus improve the assembly convenience of the vehicle 100; or the seal 122 can also be fixedly connected between the air duct 121 and the radiator 110 by snapping or bonding, which is beneficial to improve the assembly reliability of the seal 122.

[0043] It is understandable that the specific connection method of the seal 122 can be determined according to actual production requirements and is not specifically limited here, as long as the sealing effect of the seal 122 on the air guide cover 121 and the radiator 110 is guaranteed.

[0044] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the radiator 110 includes: a heat dissipation body 111 and a connecting flange 112, the connecting flange 112 is provided on a side of the heat dissipation body 111 adjacent to the guide assembly 120, and the sealing member 122 is connected between the connecting flange 112 and the first opening 1211.

[0045] The heat dissipation body 111 is used to dissipate heat from the engine, the connecting flange 112 can be used to position and install the heat dissipation body 111, and the connecting flange 112 can be used to set the seal 122. The connecting flange 112 is arranged around the circumferential direction of the heat dissipation body 111 and can be close to the air duct 121 to facilitate the arrangement of the seal 122 and to facilitate the seal 122 to seal the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 with the connecting flange 112, thereby improving the effect of external airflow flowing to the radiator 110.

[0046] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting flange 112 extends from the heat dissipation body 111 toward the circumferential outer side of the heat dissipation body 111 , and the connecting flange 112 is spaced apart from the first opening 1211 in the X direction.

[0047] Exemplarily, the connecting flange 112 can extend from the heat dissipation body 111 to the circumferential outer side of the heat dissipation body 111 along the Z direction, or the connecting flange 112 can extend from the heat dissipation body 111 to the circumferential outer side of the heat dissipation body 111 along the Y direction, so as to prevent the connecting flange 112 from blocking the heat dissipation body 111, which is conducive to ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation body 111.

[0048] In addition, the connecting flange 112 is spaced apart from the first opening 1211 in the X direction to reserve an installation position for the seal 122, which is convenient for the arrangement of the seal 122. At the same time, it is beneficial to prevent the first opening 1211 of the air deflector 121 from directly squeezing the connecting flange 112 after the vehicle 100 collides, causing damage to the connection, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the radiator 110.

[0049] It should be noted that the "Z direction" refers to the height direction of the vehicle 100, which can also be understood as the up and down direction of the vehicle 100, and the "Y direction" refers to the width direction of the vehicle 100, which can also be understood as the left and right direction of the vehicle 100. For specific direction indications, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 shown.

[0050] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the sealing member 122 includes: a first sealing segment 1221 and a second sealing segment 1222, one end of the first sealing segment 1221 is connected to the first opening 1211, and the second sealing segment 1222 is connected to the other end of the first sealing segment 1221, and the second sealing segment 1222 is folded from the connection with the first sealing segment 1221 toward the side of the connecting flange 112 and connected to the connecting flange 112.

[0051] Exemplarily, one end of the first sealing section 1221 close to the first opening 1211 can overlap with the first opening 1211, and the first sealing section 1221 can extend from the first opening 1211 in a direction close to the radiator 110, the second sealing section 1222 is connected to the end of the first sealing section 1221 away from the first opening 1211, and the second sealing section 1222 can extend in a direction close to the connecting flange 112 and be arranged at an angle to the first sealing section 1221, the second sealing section 1222 can overlap with the connecting flange 112 to achieve the coordination between the seal 122 and the connecting flange 112 and the air guide cover 121.

[0052] Thus, while the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 and the radiator 110 are staggered, the sealing member 122 can seal the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 and the connecting flange 112 .

[0053] The first sealing segment 1221 and the second sealing segment 1222 may be integrally formed, which is beneficial to reducing the assembly steps of the guide assembly 120 , thereby improving the production and assembly efficiency of the vehicle 100 .

[0054] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-section of the first sealing segment 1221 and the second sealing segment 1222 in the XZ plane is L-shaped, and the opening of the L-shape faces the air outlet.

[0055] Specifically, the first sealing segment 1221 extends from the first opening 1211 along the X-direction toward the direction close to the connecting flange 112, the second sealing segment 1222 is connected to the end of the first sealing segment 1221 away from the first opening 1211, and the second sealing segment 1222 extends along the Z-direction toward the direction close to the connecting flange 112, so that the cross-section of the first sealing segment 1221 and the second sealing segment 1222 in the XZ plane is arranged in an L-shape, and the L-shaped opening faces the outlet air side.

[0056] When the vehicle 100 collides, the fairing 121 squeezes the seal 122, and the seal 122 deforms toward the outer peripheral side of the connecting flange 112 to prevent the seal 122 from squeezing the heat dissipation body 111 after deformation and causing damage to the heat dissipation body 111, which is beneficial to further reduce the risk of damage to the radiator 110, and further help reduce the maintenance cost of the vehicle 100 in a low-speed collision.

[0057] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, side plates 113 are provided on both sides of the heat dissipation body 111 in the Y direction. The side plates 113 are arc-shaped and bulge away from the heat dissipation body 111 along the Y direction, and the side plates 113 are connected to the heat dissipation body 111 to jointly define a cooling liquid cavity 114. The cooling liquid cavity 114 is used for the flow of coolant, which is conducive to further improving the heat dissipation effect of the radiator 110.

[0058] The coolant may be water, which is beneficial to reducing the production cost of the radiator 110 .

[0059] Furthermore, the second sealing section 1222 of the seal 122 can be directly overlapped on the side of the side panel 113 opposite to the air duct 121, which is beneficial to reducing the parts setting on the radiator 110, thereby helping to reduce the production and assembly cost of the radiator 110. The first sealing section 1221 can overlap and cooperate with the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 to seal the air duct 121 and the radiator 110.

[0060] Furthermore, a flange is provided on the side panel 113, and the flange and the side panel are spaced apart in the X direction. The second sealing section 1222 may include: a first section 12221 and a second section 12222. One end of the first section 12221 overlaps with the flange and extends along the Y direction. The second section 12222 is connected to the end of the first section 12221 away from the overlap with the side panel 113 and extends along the Y direction. The end of the second section 12222 away from the first section 12221 can overlap with the air guide cover 121.

[0061] Among them, in the X direction, the distance between the second section 12222 and the side panel 113 is greater than the distance between the first section 12221 and the side panel 113, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of the second section 12222 being pressed and deformed by the air deflector 121 and squeezing the side panel 113 when the vehicle 100 collides, thereby further reducing the risk of damage to the radiator 110 when the vehicle 100 collides at low speed.

[0062] It should be noted that the specific structure of the sealing member 122 can be determined according to actual production requirements and is not specifically limited here.

[0063] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the second sealing section 1222 also includes a connecting section 12223, which is connected between the first section 12221 and the second section 12222, and the connecting section 12223 extends obliquely from the first section 12221 in a direction away from the side panel 113, so that the distance between the second section 12222 and the side panel 113 is greater than the distance between the first section 12221 and the side panel 113, ensuring that the second section 12222 can avoid the side panel 113 while ensuring the connection reliability between the first section 12221 and the second section 12222.

[0064] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the seal 122 is constructed as a sealing ring so that the seal 122 seals the first opening 1211 of the air duct 121 with the radiator 110 in the circumferential direction of the radiator 110, which is beneficial to further simplify the assembly steps of the air duct assembly 120, thereby improving the production assembly efficiency of the vehicle 100.

[0065] The sealing member 122 may be made of silicone material to ensure the sealing member 122 is resistant to high temperatures and aging.

[0066] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the air deflector 121 includes: an air inlet section 1212 and an air outlet section 1213, the air inlet section 1212 has a second opening, and the second opening forms an air inlet arranged opposite to the air outlet in the X direction, the air outlet section 1213 is connected to the air inlet section 1212, and the air outlet section 1213 has a first opening 1211.

[0067] Exemplarily, the air inlet section 1212 is located on the side of the air deflector 121 away from the radiator 110 in the X direction. The end of the air inlet section 1212 away from the radiator 110 has a second opening, and the second opening forms an air inlet. External air can flow into the air inlet section 1212 through the air inlet. The end of the air inlet section 1212 close to the radiator 110 in the X direction is connected to the air outlet section 1213. The external airflow entering from the air inlet can further flow to the air outlet section 1213, and can further flow to the radiator 110 through the air outlet formed by the first opening 1211, so as to cool the radiator 110, which is beneficial to improving the heat dissipation effect of the radiator 110 on the engine.

[0068] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, in the projection in the X direction, the projected area of ​​the air inlet is smaller than the projected area of ​​the air outlet.

[0069] The air inlet and the air outlet are arranged opposite to each other in the X direction, and in the X-direction projection, the orthographic projection surface of the air inlet falls within the orthographic projection surface of the air outlet. It can also be understood that the cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet.

[0070] When the external airflow flows into the air deflector 121 from the air inlet, since the cross-sectional area of ​​the air inlet is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the air outlet, the external gas gradually diffuses in the process of flowing from the air inlet to the air outlet, which is beneficial to improving the effect of the air deflector 121 in guiding the external airflow to the radiator 110, and is beneficial to increasing the heat exchange area between the external airflow and the radiator 110, thereby helping to improve the heat exchange effect of the external airflow on the radiator 110, and further helping to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the radiator 110 to the engine.

[0071] Combine Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the air guide assembly 120 also includes a front air guide cover 123, one end of the front air guide cover 123 in the X direction can be connected to the air inlet of the air guide cover 121, and the external air flow flows into the front air guide cover 123 from the end of the front air guide cover 123 away from the air guide cover 121, and can further flow into the air guide cover 121 from the front air guide cover 123.

[0072] The provision of the front air guide cover 123 is beneficial for improving the effect of external airflow flowing into the air guide cover 121 , thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the external airflow on the radiator 110 .

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, a cover may be provided at the air inlet of the air deflector 121, which may be rotatably disposed on the air deflector 121 and used to selectively open the air inlet. When external airflow is required to dissipate heat from the radiator 110, the cover may be driven to open the air inlet. When external airflow is not required to dissipate heat from the radiator 110, the cover is in a state of closing the air inlet to realize the active air intake function of the air deflector assembly 120, which is beneficial to improving the functionality of the air deflector assembly 120.

[0074] The vehicle 100 may be provided with a drive motor, which may be connected to the cover plate to drive the cover plate to rotate relative to the air deflector 121 , thereby enabling the cover plate to selectively open the air inlet.

[0075] Combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle 100 further includes a front anti-collision beam 130 , which is disposed opposite to the air deflector 121 in the X direction.

[0076] Exemplarily, the front anti-collision beam 130 is located on the side of the air deflector 121 away from the radiator 110 in the X direction, and is opposite to the air deflector 121 in the X direction. When the vehicle 100 collides at a low speed, the front anti-collision beam 130 will move along the X direction toward the air deflector 121, and the air deflector 121 squeezes the seal 122 and causes the seal 122 to deform toward the outer peripheral side of the connecting flange 112 to prevent the seal 122 from squeezing the heat dissipation body 111 after deformation and causing damage to the heat dissipation body 111. At the same time, the first projection formed by the first opening 1211 of the air deflector 121 in the X direction surrounds the second projection formed by the radiator 110 in the X direction, and the first projection is spaced apart from the second projection to prevent the air deflector 121 from being directly squeezed against the connecting flange 112 of the radiator 110 after being crushed, which is beneficial to further reduce the risk of damage to the radiator 110, thereby helping to reduce the maintenance cost of the vehicle 100.

[0077] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
