The term "and / or" as used in this application includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this application provides a car side skirt 100. The car side skirt 100 is a long strip-shaped panel installed on both sides of the vehicle body 200, near the lower part of the vehicle body 200. The main function of the car side skirt 100 is to reduce airflow from the sides of the vehicle body 200 into the underside of the vehicle. Therefore, the car side skirt 100 is often designed with an aerodynamically optimized shape, which can reduce air resistance under certain conditions to increase the stability of the vehicle at high speeds. The car side skirt 100 can be made of plastic or metal and is usually a single panel.

[0031] This application improves upon the automobile side skirt 100. In this application, the automobile side skirt 100 includes a skirt body 1 and a cover plate 2. The skirt body 1 includes a receiving cavity 101, which is elongated along the length of the skirt body 1 to accommodate elongated fishing gear. The receiving cavity 101 has an opening, and the cover plate 2 is movably connected to the skirt body 1 to open or close the opening. The automobile side skirt 100 provided by this application has a receiving cavity 101, thus allowing fishing gear to be stored separately within the receiving cavity 101 of the automobile side skirt 100, facilitating the storage and protection of the fishing gear. Moreover, the overall elongated shape of the automobile side skirt 100 is particularly suitable for storing slender objects such as fishing gear.

[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the receiving cavity 101 is formed by the skirt body 1 recessed towards the vehicle body. The cross-section of the receiving cavity 101 can be square, semi-circular, or other shapes. The receiving cavity 101 has an opening for loading and unloading fishing gear into and out of the receiving cavity 101.

[0033] Please see Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the skirt body 1 is also provided with a buckle 11 for fixing the fishing gear. The buckle 11 can fix the fishing gear to reduce its shaking. At the same time, the buckle 11 can adapt to fishing rods of different thicknesses, for example, by providing various sizes of holding positions on the buckle 11. Specifically, for example, in some embodiments, the buckle 11 includes a V-shaped elastic arm, and several positioning recesses are respectively provided on the opposite surfaces of the V-shaped elastic arm. For thinner fishing rods, they can be pushed from the opening of the V-shaped elastic arm to a position closer to the bottom of the V-shape, where they are fixed by the positioning recesses. For thicker fishing rods, they can be fixed by the positioning recesses at a position closer to the opening of the V-shape. For example, in some embodiments, the fastener 11 includes a support piece with a plurality of semi-circular mounting grooves. These semi-circular mounting grooves are of various sizes with gradually decreasing diameters, arranged sequentially from the upper end to the lower end of the support piece. Thinner fishing rods can be installed in the smaller diameter semi-circular mounting grooves, while thicker fishing rods can be installed in the larger diameter semi-circular mounting grooves. The shape of the fastener 11 can be varied. In some embodiments, the fastener 11 is an open, elastic annular fastener, suitable for supporting and clamping cylindrical fishing rods. In other embodiments, the fastener 11 can also be a plurality of side-by-side baffles for placing multiple fishing gear items side-by-side. In other embodiments, the fastener 11 can have other structures; this application does not limit the specific structure or number of the fastener 11.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fastener 11 is fixed to the skirt panel body 1 by riveting. In other embodiments, the fastener 11 can be integrally formed with the skirt panel body 1. The fastener 11 can be a metal part or a plastic part.

[0035] Please continue reading. Figure 3 As shown, the car side skirt 100 also includes a protective pad 3 disposed within the receiving cavity 101. The protective pad 3 is made of a soft material and can play a role in vibration reduction and noise reduction, preventing or reducing the collision damage and abnormal noise of fishing gear stored in the receiving cavity 101.

[0036] In this embodiment, the protective pad 3 is a sponge, which is adhered to the inner wall of the receiving cavity 101. In other embodiments, the protective pad 3 can be rubber or other soft materials. In other embodiments, the protective pad 3 can also be fixed in the receiving cavity 101 by means of snaps, slots, etc., or can be directly inserted into the receiving cavity 101 by its own elasticity. In this embodiment, the protective pad 3 is U-shaped, covering the top wall, bottom wall, and side wall opposite the opening of the receiving cavity 101. In other embodiments, the protective pad 3 can also be provided only on part of the wall, for example, only on the bottom wall, or only on the bottom wall and the side wall opposite the opening.

[0037] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cover plate 2 is positioned over the opening of the receiving cavity 101. The cover plate 2 conceals the opening of the receiving cavity 101, serving two purposes: firstly, to prevent fishing gear stored inside the receiving cavity 101 from falling out; and secondly, and importantly, to create a relatively complete exterior surface, reducing air resistance. In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is pivotally connected to the skirt plate body 1. Specifically, the upper ends of the cover plate 2 are provided with pivots on both sides, and the skirt plate body 1 has corresponding shaft holes. The cover plate 2 is connected to the skirt plate body 1 through the engagement of the pivots and the shaft holes, and can pivotally open and close relative to the skirt plate body 1.

[0038] Furthermore, the vehicle side skirt 100 also includes a locking element (not shown), which locks the cover plate 2 to the skirt body 1. In some embodiments, the locking element may be a locking buckle, which is linked to an operation button, allowing the locking element to be locked and unlocked by manipulating the operation button. Thus, the locking element prevents the cover plate 2 from accidentally opening and causing objects inside the receiving cavity 101 to fall out. In other embodiments, the locking element includes a lock and a key, with the lock requiring a key for locking and unlocking. This provides an anti-theft function. Preferably, the lock is mounted on the skirt body 1, avoiding the use of an external lock that would affect the appearance of the vehicle side skirt 100. The lock may be a mechanical lock cylinder, requiring a mechanical key to open, or an electronic lock cylinder, which can be opened with an electronic key. Existing technologies can be used for the specific structure of the lock, and this application does not impose any limitations on these aspects.

[0039] Please refer to it again. Figure 1As shown, this application also provides an automobile, which includes a body 200 and an automobile side skirt 100 as described in any of the above embodiments. The skirt body 1 of the automobile side skirt 100 is fixed to the body 200, and the cover plate 2 constitutes part of the exterior surface of the automobile side skirt 100. The cover plate 2 covers the receiving cavity 101 of the skirt body 1, forming a relatively complete exterior surface, without affecting the aesthetics and aerodynamic performance of the automobile side skirt 100.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description of the specific embodiments, the automobile side skirt 100 provided in this application includes a skirt body 1 and a cover plate 2. The skirt body 1 includes a receiving cavity 101, which is elongated in shape extending along the length direction of the skirt body 1 to accommodate elongated fishing gear. The receiving cavity 101 has an opening, and the cover plate 2 is movably connected to the skirt body 1 to open or close the opening. In this way, the fishing gear can be stored separately in the receiving cavity 101 within the automobile side skirt 100, which facilitates the storage and protection of the fishing gear.

[0041] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0042] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
