Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a split spoiler assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In automobile design and manufacturing, the way spoilers are installed has a significant impact on vehicle performance, appearance, and manufacturing process. In the past, automobile spoilers typically integrated the main spoiler and side spoilers into a single unit. However, this traditional integrated spoiler design has many obvious shortcomings.

[0003] First, the integrated design makes the overall structure of the spoiler more complex, the manufacturing process more difficult, and requires a complex processing procedure, which consumes a lot of time and manpower, thereby reducing production efficiency and increasing production costs.

[0004] Secondly, from an aesthetic point of view, the integrated design of the spoiler disrupts the overall streamlined design of the spoiler and tailgate, increases wind resistance, and affects the car's aerodynamic performance.

[0005] In addition, the disassembly and maintenance of the integrated spoiler is relatively difficult. If any part of the side spoiler or the main spoiler is damaged, the entire spoiler needs to be replaced, which is costly and complicated. The disassembly process can also cause secondary damage to the tailgate and spoiler. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the embodiments of this utility model provide a split spoiler assembly to solve the technical problems of many obvious shortcomings of the traditional integrated spoiler design.

[0007] This utility model provides a split spoiler assembly, including a main spoiler and side spoilers detachably installed at both ends of the main spoiler. The main spoiler includes a main inner spoiler plate and a main outer spoiler plate covering the outside of the main inner spoiler plate. The side spoilers include a side inner spoiler plate and a side outer spoiler plate covering the outside of the side inner spoiler plate. The main inner spoiler plate and the side inner spoiler plate are snapped together and fastened together by fasteners.

[0008] Optionally, both ends of the main spoiler inner plate are recessed with a first slot facing downwards. The first slot extends along the width direction of the main spoiler inner plate, and the side of the first slot facing the side spoiler is provided with a downwardly extending claw.

[0009] The inner side spoiler plate has a recessed second slot with an upward opening at one end facing the main spoiler plate. The second slot extends along the width direction of the inner side spoiler plate, and a snap-fit ​​portion that can be embedded into the first slot is formed on the side of the second slot facing the main spoiler plate. The bottom of the second slot has an insertion port for the claw to be inserted.

[0010] Optionally, the first slot has a boss protruding downward on the side away from the side spoiler, and the edge of the snap-fit ​​portion is bent to form a flange for overlapping and engaging with the boss. The flange is riveted to the boss by a rivet.

[0011] Optionally, the flange is provided with a positioning pin, and the boss is provided with a positioning hole for the positioning pin to be inserted.

[0012] Optionally, guide ribs are provided on the inner sidewall of the first slot.

[0013] Optionally, the inner edge of the socket is provided with an elastic tongue for elastically abutting against the claw.

[0014] Optionally, the inner main spoiler plate and the outer main spoiler plate are bonded together using a bonding bonding process; the inner side spoiler plate and the outer side spoiler plate are bonded together using a bonding bonding process.

[0015] This utility model embodiment adopts a separate design for the main spoiler and the side spoiler, and the main spoiler and the side spoiler are detachably connected by a composite assembly process of snap-fit ​​and fastener fastening, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Firstly, in terms of cost, the modular design simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces reliance on high-precision molds, and decreases processing complexity, thereby effectively lowering production costs. Furthermore, when a part of the main spoiler or side spoiler is damaged, only the damaged part needs to be replaced, rather than the entire unit, significantly reducing repair costs.

[0017] From a transportation and storage perspective, the split design allows the main spoiler and side spoilers to be stored and transported separately, taking up less space, making them easier to handle and manage, and reducing the risk of damage during transportation and storage.

[0018] In terms of vehicle collision repair, the split design makes it easier to locate and replace damaged parts, reducing repair time and labor costs.

[0019] In addition, the split design increases design flexibility, allowing for individual optimization and adjustment of the main spoiler and side spoilers according to the needs and aerodynamic requirements of different vehicle models, thereby better meeting the diverse needs of the market.

[0020] Finally, the combined assembly method of snap-fit ​​and riveting ensures the strength and stability of the connection, while also facilitating installation and disassembly, thus improving production and maintenance efficiency. Attached Figure Description

In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more features.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a split spoiler assembly, including a main spoiler 1 and side spoilers 2 detachably mounted at both ends of the main spoiler 1 (only the structure of one end is shown in the figure, the other end is symmetrically arranged therewith). The main spoiler 1 includes a main inner spoiler plate 11 and a main outer spoiler plate 12 covering the outside of the main inner spoiler plate 11. The main inner spoiler plate 11 and the main outer spoiler plate 12 can be bonded and fixed by a bonding process. The side spoilers 2 include a side inner spoiler plate 21 and a side outer spoiler plate 22 covering the outside of the side inner spoiler plate 21. The side inner spoiler plate 21 and the side outer spoiler plate 22 can also be bonded and fixed by a bonding process. The main inner spoiler plate 11 and the side inner spoiler plate 21 are snap-fitted and fixed and fastened together by fasteners.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, both ends of the main spoiler inner plate 11 are recessed with downward-facing first slots 13. The first slots 13 extend along the width direction of the main spoiler inner plate 11, and the side of the first slots 13 facing the side spoiler 2 has downward-extending claws 14. The side spoiler inner plate 21 is recessed with an upward-facing second slot 23 at the end facing the main spoiler 1. The second slot 23 extends along the width direction of the side spoiler inner plate 21, and the side of the second slot 23 facing the main spoiler 1 has a snap-fit ​​portion 24 that can be inserted into the first slot 13. The bottom of the second slot 23 has an insertion port 25 for the claws 14 to be inserted. When the side spoiler 2 is assembled to the main spoiler 1, the snap-fit ​​portion 24 of the side spoiler 2 is inserted into the first snap-fit ​​groove 13 of the main spoiler 1 to position the side spoiler 2 along the length of the spoiler assembly. Simultaneously, the claws 14 of the main spoiler 1 are inserted into the slots 25 of the side spoiler 2 to position the side spoiler 2 along the width and thickness of the spoiler assembly, thus securing the side spoiler 2 to the main spoiler 1. Furthermore, a guide rib 15 is provided on the inner wall of the first snap-fit ​​groove 13 to guide and limit the snap-fit ​​portion 24. An elastic tongue 26 is provided on the inner edge of the slot 25, which elastically abuts against the inserted claw 14, effectively preventing the claw 14 from loosening.

[0032] The first slot 13 has a boss 16 protruding downwards on the side away from the side spoiler 2. The edge of the latching part 24 is bent to form a flange 27 for overlapping and engaging with the boss 16. The flange 27 is riveted to the boss 16 by rivets 28 to increase the strength of the connection. Furthermore, the flange 27 is also provided with a positioning pin 29, and the boss 16 is provided with a positioning hole 17 for the positioning pin 29 to be inserted, which facilitates positioning during assembly.
