[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the flow guide assembly provided by the present application, Figure 2 is Figure 1A cross-sectional structure diagram of the flow guide assembly. In one aspect of the present application, a flow guide assembly 1 is provided, which includes a first side plate 11, a second side plate 12 and a bottom plate 14. Specifically, the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are both connected to the bottom plate 14 and are located on the same side of the bottom plate 14. The first side plate 11, the second side plate 12 and the bottom plate 14 enclose an open space 15. By designing the flow guide assembly 1 as a cavity structure with an open space 15, the strength and deformation resistance of the flow guide assembly 1 can be improved, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the flow guide assembly 1 and avoiding the situation that the flow guide assembly 1 loses the ability to block airflow due to deformation.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the number of first side plates 11 is two, and they are located on opposite sides of the second side plate 12, so that the first side plate 11 can enclose the open space 15 together with the second side plate 12 and the bottom plate 14. The second side plate 12 is used to block airflow and reduce the impact of airflow on the tire. The first side plate 11 can support and fix the second side plate 12, thereby enhancing the structural strength and deformation resistance of the flow guide assembly 1.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present application, the angle between the side of the second side plate 12 facing the open space 15 and the side of the bottom plate 14 facing the open space 15 ranges from 0° to 90°.

[0028] Numerical point examples of numerical ranges are mainly used to illustrate whether the end value is included

[0029] Specifically, since the second side plate 12 blocks airflow, the airflow will pass through the outer surface of the second side plate 12. By setting the second side plate 12 to be inclined relative to the bottom plate 14, as shown in Figure 1 , the airflow can be guided, the resistance of the airflow can be reduced, the deformation resistance can be improved, and the reliability and stability can be improved.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the side of the second side plate 12 facing away from the open space 15 is provided with a plurality of grooves 121. The plurality of grooves 121 are arranged at intervals along the first direction D1 and extend along the second direction D2. It should be noted that the first direction D1 is perpendicular to the second direction D2, and the second direction D2 is parallel to the direction from the side of the second side plate 12 connecting to the bottom plate 14 to the side of the second side plate 12 away from the bottom plate 14.

[0031] Specifically, the grooves 121 can be arranged uniformly according to actual requirements of the vehicle model, and play a role in guiding the flow direction of the air flow. During the driving of the vehicle, the air flow will inevitably blow towards the second side plate 12. By designing the grooves 121 extending along the second direction D2 on the second side plate 12, the air flow will flow along the grooves 121, thereby improving the guiding effect of the second side plate 12. The grooves 121 are arranged at intervals, so that the outer side surface of the second side plate 12 is uneven, and the air flow can be more easily dispersed and flow along the corresponding grooves 121 when passing through.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present application, along the first direction D1, the size of the groove 121 ranges from 7 mm to 10 mm; along the third direction D3, the depth of the groove 121 ranges from 3 mm to 5 mm. It should be noted that the third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, and the size of the groove 121 along the first direction D1 is the width of the groove 121.

[0033] In a specific embodiment, the width of the groove 121 can be 10 mm, and the depth can be 5 mm, so as to increase the size of the groove 121, so that each groove 121 can accommodate more air flow to pass through, thereby improving the guiding effect on the air flow. In another specific embodiment, the width of the groove 121 can also be 7 mm, and the depth can also be 3 mm, so as to reduce the size of the groove 121, so as to improve the guiding effect on the air flow by increasing the number of grooves 121. Of course, the specific size of the groove 121 can also be designed according to the shape and size of the second side plate 12, for example, the width of the groove 121 can also be 8 mm or 9 mm, and the depth of the groove 121 can also be 3.5 mm, 4 mm, 4.5 mm, etc.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the groove 121 includes a bottom wall 1212 and two opposite side walls 1211, and the included angle between each side wall 1211 and the bottom wall 1212 is 45°.

[0035] Specifically, by designing the groove 121 to have a trapezoidal cross section, each groove 121 can accommodate more air flow to pass through, thereby further improving the guiding effect on the air flow. Of course, the included angle between the side wall 1211 and the bottom wall 1212 can also be adjusted to 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, etc. according to actual conditions, which will not be described here.

[0036] In an embodiment of the present application, along the first direction D1, the side of the second side plate 12 facing the open space 15 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs (not marked in the figure) arranged at intervals, and the reinforcing ribs extend towards the inside of the open space 15.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, the number of reinforcing ribs can be one less than the number of grooves 121, and each reinforcing rib can be arranged between two adjacent grooves 121 to enhance structural strength. In another specific embodiment, the number of reinforcing ribs can also be arranged according to actual conditions.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present application, the flow guide assembly 1 further comprises two third side plates 13. In the first direction D1, one third side plate 13 is connected to one first side plate 11 away from the second side plate 12 and connected to the bottom plate 14; and the other third side plate 13 is connected to the other first side plate 11 away from the second side plate 12 and connected to the bottom plate 14.

[0039] Specifically, since the second side plate 12 can block the airflow, after the airflow flows toward the second side plate 12, the second side plate 12 can be supported by the first side plate 11 to improve or avoid deformation or movement of the second side plate 12. In order to improve the stability of the support of the first side plate 11, the third side plate 13 can be connected to the first side plate 11 and the bottom plate 14, so that the third side plate 13 can support the first side plate 11. Through the above structure, the stability and reliability of the structure can be further improved, thereby improving the anti-deformation ability of the flow guide assembly 1 and improving or avoiding the situation that the flow guide assembly 1 loses the ability to block the airflow due to deformation.

[0040] Further, the first side plate 11, the second side plate 12, the third side plate 13, and the bottom plate 14 can be integrated by injection molding into an integral structure to simplify the process, reduce production costs, and also improve the integrity of the flow guide assembly 1 and improve the strength and stability of the structure.

[0041] In another embodiment, the flow guide assembly 1 further comprises a fourth side plate (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the bottom plate 14, the first side plate 11, and the second side plate 12, respectively, for covering the opening of the open space 15 and supporting and fixing the second side plate 12 and the first side plate 11 to further improve stability and reliability.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, a guide plate 16 is further arranged on the side of the second side plate 12 and the third side plate 13 away from the bottom plate 14, which extends in a direction away from the bottom plate 14, for blocking the airflow and changing the direction of the airflow to blow the airflow toward the ground, thereby reducing the resistance of the airflow to the tire.
