[0044] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this utility model, specific embodiments of the present utility model are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate components with the same or similar structures but the same function.

[0045] In this document, “illustrative” means “serving as an example, illustration or description”, and any illustration or implementation described herein as “illustrative” should not be construed as a more preferred or advantageous technical solution.

[0046] Figure 1 This is an exploded structural diagram illustrating one embodiment of a car windshield deflector. Figure 1 As shown, the windshield deflector for automobiles includes a hood 10, a deflector unit 20, a drive unit 30, and a cover plate 40. The hood 10 has an air vent 12 along the width of the vehicle. The drive unit 30 drives the cover plate 40 to a position that does not correspond to the air vent 12, thus opening the air vent 12 (conversely, when the air vent 12 is closed, the cover plate 40 moves to a position corresponding to the air vent 12 to achieve a closing effect). Simultaneously, the deflector unit 20 blows out a large volume of air, which passes through the air vent 12, thereby changing the airflow direction and raising the collision zone between insects and small objects and the vehicle, effectively improving the problem of reduced visibility while avoiding safety hazards. In this illustrative embodiment, the air vent 12 is arc-shaped along the width of the vehicle, thereby adapting to the windshield to further reduce the collision zone between insects and small objects and the windshield, ensuring good visibility for the driver.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the airflow guiding unit 20 includes an airflow guide cover 22 and a fan 24. The airflow guide cover 22 is attached to the hood 10 and located inside the engine compartment. Specifically, the shape of the airflow guide cover 22 is adapted to the air outlet 12. The airflow guide cover 22 and the hood 10 are closed to form an airflow guiding chamber 221, and the air outlet 12 opens into the airflow guiding chamber 221. The fan 24 is located in the engine compartment. The fan 24 is connected to the airflow guiding chamber 221, using the airflow guiding chamber 221 to concentrate the airflow, prevent the airflow from dispersing, and ensure that a sufficient large flow of air is blown out through the air outlet 12, thereby ensuring that the collision zone between insects and small objects and the vehicle is raised.

[0048] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the drive unit structure. (Example) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit 30 is connected to the hood 10 and located inside the engine compartment. In this illustrative embodiment, the drive unit 30 includes a drive component 32 and a transmission assembly 34. The drive component 32 is fixedly connected to the hood 10. Specifically, the drive component 32 includes a drive motor 322 and a reducer 324. The drive motor 322 has mounting lugs 3221 extending on both sides along its length direction. The mounting lugs 3221 are fixedly attached to the hood to ensure the stability of the drive motor 322. The reducer 324 is connected to the drive motor 324 to ensure the stable operation of the entire drive unit 30.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the transmission assembly 34 includes a mounting bracket 342, a transmission rod 344, a gear 346, and a rack 348. The mounting bracket 342 is fixedly connected to the engine hood 10 and one end is inserted into the airflow chamber 221. The mounting bracket 342 has a groove 3421 along the length of the vehicle, which connects to the airflow chamber 221. The transmission rod 344 is cylindrical and rotatably connects the reducer 324 and the mounting bracket 342 along its axis. The gear 346 is fixedly inserted into the transmission rod 344 and located in the groove 3421. The rack 348 is movably disposed in the groove 3421 along the length of the vehicle, and the gear 346 meshes with the rack 348. When the drive unit 32 operates, it drives the transmission rod 344 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 346 to rotate. This causes the rack 348, which meshes with the gear, to move along the length of the vehicle, thereby moving the cover plate 40 along the length of the vehicle within the guide chamber 221. This allows the cover plate 40 to move or be moved to a position corresponding to the air outlet 12, ensuring the opening and closing of the air outlet 12. In this illustrative embodiment, there are two sets of transmission components 34, which are arranged on both sides of the drive unit 32 along the width of the vehicle. This ensures that the cover plate 40 can open and close smoothly, improving the stability of the guide device.

[0050] Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the cover structure of the windshield deflector for a car. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the cover plate 40 facing the engine compartment protrude to form connectors 42, so as to ensure that the cover plate 40 can completely cover the air outlet 12 when it is moved to the air outlet 12. The connectors 42 are connected to the rack 348 by bolts, thereby facilitating subsequent disassembly and maintenance.

[0051] This utility model also provides a windshield deflector system for automobiles. Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating one embodiment of signal control for a car's windshield deflector system. (Example)Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the automobile front windshield deflector system comprises an automobile front windshield deflector device, a power module 100, a button module 200 and a control module 300. The power module 100 is arranged on the vehicle body, and the power module 100 is connected with the fan 24 to supply power to the fan 24. The button module 200 is arranged on the vehicle body, and the button module 200 can generate an opening signal and a closing signal according to actions. In the present illustrative embodiment, the button module 200 is provided with an indicator lamp, and the opening and closing of the deflector device can be determined by the lightening of the indicator lamp of the button module 200. The control module 300 is signal-connected with the button module 200, the power module 100 and the driving unit 30. The control module 300 receives the opening signal and the closing signal, controls the opening and closing of the fan 24, and simultaneously controls the opening and closing of the cover plate 40 by controlling the driving unit 30.

[0052] In the present illustrative embodiment, the power module 100 comprises a storage battery 120 and a relay 140. The storage battery 120 is electrically connected with the control module 300 to provide power. The relay 140 is electrically connected with the storage battery 120 and the fan 24 respectively, and is signal-connected with the control module 300. The relay 140 controls the on-off of the current between the storage battery 120 and the fan 24 by receiving the signal of the control module 300, so as to make the fan 24 open and close.

[0053] Specifically, when the deflector device needs to be closed, the driver operates the button module 200 in the cabin to generate a closing signal, and the control module 300 receives the closing signal and instructs the relay 140 to pop out to cut off the power supply of the fan 24, and simultaneously instructs the driving member 32 to drive the cover plate 40 to close. When the deflector device needs to be opened, the driver operates the button module 200 in the cabin to generate an opening signal, and the control module 300 receives the opening signal and instructs the relay 140 to attract to connect the power supply of the fan 24, and simultaneously instructs the driving member 32 to drive the cover plate 40 to open.

[0054] It should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of various embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the specification is described in this way only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.

[0055] The series of detailed descriptions listed above are only specific descriptions of the feasible embodiments of the present utility model, and they are not used to limit the protection scope of the present utility model, and any equivalent implementation schemes or changes made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model technology, such as the combination, division or repetition of features, should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
