[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an air guide cover, including:

[0045] Front air guide cover 1, the front air guide cover 1 is provided with a front slot 11 that runs through the front and rear sides;

[0046] An active air intake grille 2 is located behind the front shroud 1 and is detachably connected to the front shroud 1. A front slot 11 directs airflow towards the active air intake grille 2.

[0047] The rear air guide shroud 3 has a rear slot 31 that runs through both the front and rear sides. The active air intake grille 2 is fitted in the rear slot 31. The rear air guide shroud 3 and the active air intake grille 2 are detachably connected.

[0048] When the vehicle is in motion, the front slot 11 of the front air deflector 1 guides outside air to the active air intake grille 2. The active air intake grille 2 further regulates and controls the airflow, which flows through the rear slot 31 of the rear air deflector 3 to the cooling module 6 for effective cooling.

[0049] The detachable connection design between the front air deflector 1, the active air intake grille 2, and the rear air deflector 3 allows these components to be flexibly combined and replaced according to the specific needs of different vehicle models. This modular design not only improves the system's adaptability but also simplifies the assembly process.

[0050] As a platform-based product, the Active Grille 2 can be applied to a variety of different vehicle models, eliminating the need to design and manufacture new components for each model. This not only reduces development and manufacturing costs but also improves the commonality and interchangeability of parts.

[0051] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the front air shroud 1 is snapped into the active air intake grille 2.

[0052] Optionally, the top and bottom of the front air shroud 1 are designed with snap-fit ​​structures, such as protruding snaps or grooves. The active air intake grille 2 is located on the outside of the front air shroud 1, and its corresponding position is designed with a slot or hook that matches the snap-fit ​​structure of the front air shroud 1. The front air shroud 1 engages with the active air intake grille 2 from front to back, with the snaps of the front air shroud 1 aligned with the slots of the active air intake grille 2, so that the snaps are fully inserted into the slots, achieving a secure engagement 21, wherein the snaps and slots are vertically opposite each other.

[0053] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the rear air duct 3 and the active air intake grille 2 are interference-fitted 22. The inner wall of the rear air duct is designed with a slightly reduced size, and the outer diameter of the active air intake grille 2 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the rear air duct 3 to achieve the interference fit 22 between the two. This prevents loosening caused by vibration or impact during vehicle operation and improves the reliability and safety of the system.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a sponge pad 7 is provided at the contact area of ​​the interference fit 22 between the rear air deflector 3 and the active air intake grille 2. The sponge pad 7 can be a flexible material, such as foam rubber or polyurethane sponge 7, that is adhered to the inner wall of the rear air deflector 3 or the outer surface of the active air intake grille 2. The use of the sponge pad 7 not only enhances the stability of the connection, but also plays a role in shock absorption and sound insulation, reducing noise and vibration during vehicle operation and improving driving comfort.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the cross-section of the port of the rear slot 31 facing the active air intake grille 2 is trapezoidal, that is, the width of the port gradually narrows from the outside to the inside. This is to facilitate the insertion of the active air intake grille 2 and to help guide the airflow.

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment also provides a vehicle frame structure, including:

[0057] Upper anti-collision beam 4 is arranged laterally along the vehicle frame structure;

[0058] The lower anti-collision beam 5 is arranged laterally along the frame structure and is located below the upper anti-collision beam 4;

[0059] Cooling module 6 is located behind the upper anti-collision beam 4; and

[0060] The air guide shroud is the air guide shroud described in any of the above embodiments. The upper ends of the front air guide shroud 1 and the active air intake grille 2 are both threadedly connected to the upper anti-collision beam 4. The lower ends of the front air guide shroud 1 and the active air intake grille 2 are simultaneously threadedly connected to the lower anti-collision beam 5. The rear air guide shroud 3 is connected to the cooling module 6.

[0061] The upper bumper beam 4 and lower bumper beam 5 absorb and disperse the energy during a frontal collision, protecting the safety of the occupants and the vehicle structure. The upper bumper beam 4 and lower bumper beam 5 have multiple threaded holes for connecting the front air deflector 1 and the active air intake grille 2. Preferably, the front air deflector 1 and the active air intake grille 2 are integrated with the front bumper beams using six bolts 23 (three on the top and three on the bottom). This connection does not increase the number of connections despite adding more parts, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection and effectively preventing loosening or detachment due to vibrations or impacts during vehicle operation, thus improving the safety and stability of the system.

[0062] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, the cooling module 6 also includes a cooling fan 61.

[0063] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the air guide shroud is located between the upper anti-collision beam 4 and the lower anti-collision beam 5, avoiding the Z-direction air intake area of ​​the upper anti-collision beam 4 and the lower anti-collision beam 5. The Z-direction refers to the vertical direction of the vehicle, that is, the direction from the ground to the roof. The rear air guide shroud 3 is integrated with the cooling module 6 and installed in the vehicle. The front air guide shroud 1 is assembled with the active air intake grille 2 and connected to the front anti-collision beam through X-direction bolts, maximizing the use of the maximum Z-direction space of the upper and lower anti-collision beams, which helps to increase the air intake area.

[0064] This embodiment also provides an electric vehicle, including the frame structure described in any of the above embodiments. When the electric vehicle is in motion, external air enters the active air intake grille 2 through the front slot 11 of the front air shroud 1. The active air intake grille 2 further adjusts and controls the airflow, directing it to the cooling module 6 for effective cooling.

[0065] In this embodiment, the electric vehicle also includes a power system, a battery pack, a control system, and other auxiliary equipment.

[0066] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0067] Advantage 1: By separating the front and rear air guide covers 3 and the active air intake grille 2 into separate components, the active air intake grille 2 can be shared on a platform, reducing development, testing, and mold costs;

[0068] Advantage 2: Improved overlap design maximizes the use of air intake area, achieving optimal air intake performance even with a closed front bumper design.

[0069] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
