Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to vehicle technical field, concretely relates to a vehicle. BACKGROUND
[0002] For the purpose of heat insulation, sun protection, privacy protection, safety explosion prevention and the like, most vehicle owners will paste a film on the front windshield of the vehicle cabin. The film is usually pasted on the inner side surface of the front windshield, i.e. the side surface of the front windshield facing the cabin. During the process of pasting the film, the operator usually sprays water on the inner side surface of the glass or the surface of the film. The purpose of spraying water is to temporarily reduce the adhesion of the pasted film, so as to avoid the film from being closely attached to the glass when it is just pasted, thereby facilitating the operator to subsequently move the film to adjust the position of the film. The water sprayed on the glass or the film during the process of pasting the film may enter the gap between the A-pillar and the instrument panel, thereby causing the short circuit of the electrical devices near the A-pillar to fail, and further causing the vehicle to malfunction.

[0033] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The accompanying drawings show a portion of the structure of a vehicle 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The vehicle 100 includes an A-pillar 101, a front bulkhead 102, and a floodgate bracket 103. The A-pillar 101 shown in the drawings is the one located on the left side of the vehicle 100, and the left end of the front bulkhead 102 is connected to the A-pillar 101 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 As shown, the front bulkhead 102 separates the passenger compartment and the front compartment of the vehicle 100. The passenger compartment is located at the rear of the front bulkhead 102, and the front compartment is located at the front of the front bulkhead 102. The front bulkhead 102 includes a water-receiving portion 105, which can be located at the top of the front bulkhead 102. A water-blocking bracket 103 is connected to the A-pillar 101. The water-blocking bracket 103 includes a water-blocking portion 107, which is inclined relative to the horizontal plane and gradually extends downward in the direction from rear to front.
[0034] Figure 3 The relative positions of the A-pillar 101, the dashboard 129, and the water deflector 107 are shown in a rear-view angle. Figure 3 The front bulkhead 102 is not shown; the instrument panel 129 covers the water-receiving portion 105 of the front bulkhead 102 and the water-retaining bracket 103. Figure 3 As shown, a gap 130 exists between the side of the dashboard 129 and the A-pillar 101, and a water-retaining part 107 is located below the gap 130. If a horizontal plane is used as the projection plane, then the projection of the gap 130 and the projection of the water-retaining part 107 at least partially overlap, that is, at least a portion of the projection of the gap 130 coincides with at least a portion of the projection of the water-retaining part 107. In this invention, the projection of a structure onto a projection plane refers to an orthographic projection onto the projection plane. The projection plane is not shown in the figures; it can be located above the gap 130, below the water-retaining part 107, or between the gap 130 and the water-retaining part 107, as long as the projections of the gap 130 and the water-retaining part 107 fall on the same horizontal projection plane. More intuitively, as... Figure 3As shown, a vertical downward extension line is made starting from a part of the gap 130, and the extension line intersects with the water retaining portion 107 (the intersection point is L point). It should be noted that, if viewed from a top view angle, the gap 130 extends along the front-rear direction (i.e. perpendicular to the direction of the paper surface), and the gap 130 can be curved or straight. Accordingly, the projection of the gap 130 is a curve or a straight line extending along the front-rear direction, and at least a part of the curve or the straight line coincides with at least a part of the water retaining portion 107. In this way, at least a part of the water flowing down from the gap 130 can fall on the water retaining portion 107. Figure 3
[0035] The position of the electrical device 131 near the inner surface of the A-pillar 101 is shown in FIG. 4. The electrical device 131 can be an electrical connector, a wire, a switch, a sensor, etc. Of course, the specific type of the electrical device 131 is not limited to the above types, and a device that operates with electricity or a device that accesses a circuit can also be regarded as the electrical device 131. At least a part of the water retaining portion 107 is arranged above the electrical device 131 and between the gap 130 and the electrical device 131. The water retaining portion 107 can retain the water falling from the gap 130, which is conducive to reducing the risk of the electrical device 131 contacting water and thus reducing the risk of the electrical device 131 short-circuiting and failing due to water. Figure 4
[0036] In some embodiments, the projection of the gap 130 and the projection of the top end of the water retaining portion 107 at least partially coincide on a horizontal plane. Moreover, the projection of the bottom end of the water retaining portion 107 is located within the projection of the water receiving portion 105. This can be equivalent to: as shown in FIG. 5, a vertical downward extension line is made starting from the bottom end of the water retaining portion 107, and the extension line intersects with the water receiving portion 105 (the intersection point is M point). In this way, the water falling on the water retaining portion 107 from the gap 130 flows along the inclined water retaining portion 107, and the water flows out of the bottom end of the water retaining portion 107 and drips on the water receiving portion 105 of the front apron 102. The electrical device 131 is also located behind the water receiving portion 105. In this way, the water falling on the water retaining portion 107 from the gap 130 is ultimately guided to the water receiving portion 105 of the front apron 102, and the water does not accumulate on the water retaining portion 107, which is conducive to preventing the water from dripping on the electrical device 131 when the vehicle 100 is running or the vehicle 100 is vibrating, and thus reducing the risk of the electrical device 131 short-circuiting and failing. Figure 4
[0037] It can be understood that the A-pillar 101 on the left side of the vehicle 100 can be connected with one water-blocking bracket 103, and the left end of the dash panel 102 is provided with one water receiving part 105. In this way, the water flowing down from the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 on the right side of the vehicle 100 and the instrument panel 129 can also be guided to the water receiving part 105, and the risk of short circuit failure of the electrical device 131 near the A-pillar 101 on the right side of the vehicle 100 is lower.
[0038] It should be noted that in addition to the above-mentioned cases, there are some cases that can cause water to enter the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the instrument panel 129. For example, during the process of washing the cabin of the vehicle 100, water can enter the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the instrument panel 129. For another example, the driver or the passenger on the co-driver seat can accidentally pour water or liquid such as beverage on the instrument panel 129, causing water to enter the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the instrument panel 129. However, no matter which case causes water to enter the gap 130, the water-blocking part 107 of the water-blocking bracket 103 can effectively guide the water to the water receiving part 105 of the dash panel 102, thereby reducing the risk of failure of the electrical device 131.
[0039] The specific shape of the water-blocking bracket 103 will be described below. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The water-blocking bracket 103 is shown from different perspectives. The water-blocking part 107 of the water-blocking bracket 103 includes a bottom plate 116 and two mutually spaced side plates 113, one of which is connected with the A-pillar 101, and the two sides of the bottom plate 116 are connected with one side plate 113 respectively. The bottom plate 116 is inclinedly arranged, and the bottom plate 116 and the side plates 113 jointly define a water guide groove 112. Taking a horizontal plane as a projection plane, the projection of the gap 130 partially coincides with the projection of the water guide groove 112, and the projection of the bottom end edge of the water guide groove 112 is located within the projection of the water receiving part 105. The water falling from the gap 130 can fall into the water guide groove 112 and then flow downward along the water guide groove 112 to the water receiving part 105. The bottom plate 116 is mainly used for receiving water and guiding the flow of water, and the side plates 113 are mainly used for preventing water from falling from the two sides (left and right sides) of the bottom plate 116, thereby preventing water from falling to the electrical device 131 below the water-blocking part 107, and further reducing the risk of short circuit of the electrical device 131. In other embodiments, in order to simplify the structure of the water-blocking bracket 103 and reduce the cost, the water-blocking part 107 can also only include an inclined bottom plate 116, and the water-blocking part 107 does not form a water guide groove 112.
[0040] For the convenience of distinguishing the two side plates 113, the two side plates 113 are respectively referred to as a first side plate 114 and a second side plate 115, and the second side plate 115 is closer to the A-pillar 101 than the first side plate 114. As shown in FIG. 1, the first side plate 114 is connected with the A-pillar 101, and the second side plate 115 is connected with the first side plate 114. Figure 6As shown, the water-blocking support 103 further comprises a first clamping portion 121 connected to a side surface of the second side plate 115 opposite to the water guide groove 112, and the second side plate 115 is connected to the A-pillar 101 through the first clamping portion 121. The A-pillar 101 can be provided with a clamping hole, and the first clamping portion 121 is clamped with the clamping hole, so that the water-blocking support 103 is connected to the A-pillar 101. In other embodiments not shown, the water-blocking support 103 can also be connected to the A-pillar 101 by means of adhesion, welding, riveting, screwing, etc.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness. Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness.

Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness. Figure 7 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness. Figure 8 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness. Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1, the vehicle 100 further comprises a cable 104. In some embodiments, the cable 104 can only comprise one wire. In other embodiments, the cable 104 can also comprise a plurality of wires, i.e. the cable 104 can be provided as a wire harness or a wire harness.
[0044] As shown in Figure 7 The fixing member 110 comprises a ring-shaped portion 128 and a second clamping portion 127, the ring-shaped portion 128 surrounds the outer periphery of the cable 104 and clamps the cable 104, and the second clamping portion 127 is used for clamping with the A-pillar 101.
[0045] As shown in Figure 7 The cable 104 comprises a drip bend 111, and the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111 is located outside the receiving groove 120. The projection of the lowest point 124 is located inside the projection of the water receiving portion 105. This can be equivalent to: as shown in Figure 9 The drip bend 111 is one of the curved portions of the cable 104, and the drip bend 111 comprises a first connecting end 123, a second connecting end 125 and the lowest point 124. The drip bend 111 is curved downward, the first connecting end 123 is located in front of the second connecting end 125, and the first connecting end 123 and the second connecting end 125 are both located above the lowest point 124. The first connecting end 123 can be connected with the bottom end of the first section 122 of the cable 104, and the top end of the first section 122 is connected with one of the fixing members 110. The second connecting end 125 can be connected with the top end of the second section 126 of the cable 104, the second section 126 is located behind the water receiving portion 105, and the bottom end of the second section 126 is connected with the other fixing member 110. Water attached to the surface of the cable 104 flows along the surface of the cable 104 under the action of gravity, and gathers to the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111, and then drips from the lowest point 124 to the water receiving portion 105. In this way, the water attached to the surface of the cable 104 can be guided to the water receiving portion 105, so as to prevent the water from dripping from the surface of the cable 104 to the electrical devices 131 near the A-pillar 101, and prevent the water from flowing along the cable 104 to other electrical devices 131 under the action of gravity.
[0046] It should be noted that if a part of the projection of the gap 130 coincides with the projection of the first section 122 (i.e. a part of the cable 104 passes directly below the gap 130), then the water attached to the surface of the cable 104 can be the water falling from the gap 130 between the A-pillar 101 and the side of the instrument panel 129. If the gap 130 and the first section 122 of the cable 104 are completely staggered, then the water attached to the surface of the cable 104 can also be the water seeping from other parts of the vehicle 100. The drawings of the utility model only show a part of the cable 104 near the water blocking support 103, the whole cable 104 is not shown in the drawings, the top end of the first section 122 in the drawings is not the top end of the whole cable 104, and the bottom end of the second section 126 is also not the bottom end of the whole cable 104.
[0047] The following describes how to bend cable 104 to form a drip bend 111. For example... Figure 5 As shown, both the first constraint plate 117 and the second constraint plate 118 are curved, and both are connected to the water-blocking portion 107. The first constraint plate 117 includes a first plate segment 134 and a second plate segment 135. The front end of the first plate segment 134 is lower than its rear end, and the front end of the first plate segment 134 is connected to the rear end of the second plate segment 135. The front end of the second plate segment 135 is higher than its rear end. More intuitively, the middle portion of the first constraint plate 117 is bent downwards relative to its two ends. After the cable 104 is installed into the receiving slot 120, a portion of the cable 104 bends downwards to form a drip bend segment 111. The second constraint plates 118 are spaced below the first constraint plate 117, with the front end of the second constraint plate 118 lower than its rear end. The length of the second constraint plate 118 is shorter than the length of the first constraint plate 117, and the second constraint plate 118 and the first plate segment 134 are arranged facing each other. In this way, the second constraint plate 118, the first plate segment 134, and the water-blocking part 107 together enclose the receiving groove 120. Furthermore, since the second constraint plate 118 and the second plate segment 135 are staggered, the lowest point 124 of the drip bend segment 111 is located outside the receiving groove 120. The second constraint plate 118 will not block the lowest point 124 of the drip bend segment 111, and the second constraint plate 118 will not prevent water from dripping down from the lowest point 124.
[0048] It should be noted that, in order to form the drip bend 111, the first constraint plate 117 and the second constraint plate 118 do not necessarily need to be curved. The drip bend 111 can also be formed by multiple fasteners 110 and the storage part 108 jointly constraining the position or direction of the cable 104.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 7As shown, the two fixing members 110 are respectively a first fixing member 132 and a second fixing member 133, the first fixing member 132 and the second fixing member 133 are respectively located above and below the receiving portion 108, and the first fixing member 132 is further located in front of the second fixing member 133. From the rear end of the receiving groove 120 to the front end of the receiving groove 120, the receiving groove 120 as a whole gradually extends downward, or a part of the receiving groove 120 gradually extends downward. In this arrangement, if the first fixing member 132 is taken as the starting point and the second fixing member 133 is taken as the ending point, then the cable 104 first extends upward, then enters the receiving portion 108 and extends downward in front, and finally extends upward again. In this way, the first fixing member 132, the second fixing member 133 and the receiving groove 120 together bend the cable 104 and form a drip bend 111, which is located near the front end of the receiving groove 120. In this arrangement, the first restraint plate 117 and the second restraint plate 118 of the receiving portion 108 do not necessarily need to be curved, and the first restraint plate 117 and the second restraint plate 118 can also be flat; the drip bend 111 also does not necessarily need to be completely arranged in the receiving groove 120, and the drip bend 111 can also be completely located outside the receiving groove 120, as long as the cable 104 fixed by the fixing member 110 and the water-blocking support 103 finally has a curved shape and forms a drip bend 111.
[0050] In the case where the first restraint plate 117 and the second restraint plate 118 are both curved, since the receiving portion 108 itself can bend the cable 104, the positions of the first fixing member 132 and the second fixing member 133 do not need to satisfy the position relationship mentioned above, and the first fixing member 132 and the second fixing member 133 can adopt other arrangements. In this way, the positions of the first fixing member 132 and the second fixing member 133 and the running direction of the cable 104 can be flexibly adjusted according to the arrangement requirements of the vehicle 100. For example, in other embodiments not shown, the first fixing member 132 and the second fixing member 133 can be at the same height.
[0051] As shown, Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the water receiving portion 105 has a water receiving groove 106, and the projection of the bottom end of the water blocking portion 107 lies within the projection of the water receiving groove 106. When the cable 104 has a drip bend 111, the projection of the lowest point 124 of the drip bend 111 may also lie within the projection of the water receiving groove 106. Because the water receiving portion 105 has a water receiving groove 106, it can hold a larger amount of water. Furthermore, the sidewalls of the water receiving groove 106 can prevent water from flowing out of the groove 106 and backward to the electrical device 131. In other embodiments not shown, the water receiving portion 105 may not have a water receiving groove 106, as long as it has a surface capable of receiving water from the water blocking portion 107 and / or the cable 104.
[0052] In some embodiments, water guided by the water-retaining part 107 to the water-receiving part 105 can subsequently flow out to the exterior of the vehicle body through some channels in the front bulkhead 102. This prevents water accumulation from causing the sheet metal to rust or corrode. Alternatively, if the water-retaining part 107 does not guide water to the water-receiving part 105, channels can be provided on the water-retaining part 107 and the A-pillar 101 so that water flows out from the water-retaining part 107 to the exterior of the vehicle body.
[0053] The amount of water flowing down from the gap 130 is relatively small. Therefore, in some embodiments, a channel for draining water from the water receiving part 105 or the water blocking part 107 to the outside of the vehicle body may not be provided. For example, the water receiving part 105 includes a sheet metal part and a sound insulation pad, with the sound insulation pad covering at least a portion of the surface of the sheet metal part, and a water-receiving groove 106 formed on the surface of the sound insulation pad. In this way, water guided to the water receiving part 105 by the water blocking part 107 or the drip bend 111 falls onto the sound insulation pad, and the water does not directly contact the sheet metal, which helps reduce the risk of sheet metal rusting. In addition, the main material of the sound insulation pad is usually cotton, which is absorbent. Some of the water falling onto the water receiving part 105 will be absorbed by the sound insulation pad, so there is less flowing water on the surface of the water receiving part 105, which helps reduce the risk of water on the water receiving part 105 flowing around and coming into contact with electrical components 131.
[0054] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle 100 also includes a water barrier 109, which is elastic. The material of the water barrier 109 can be rubber, foam, sponge, etc. Figure 2As shown, the water-blocking pad 109 is sandwiched between the water-blocking portion 107 and the A-pillar 101. For example, the water-blocking pad 109 is bonded to the second side plate 115, and after the water-blocking bracket 103 is snapped into the A-pillar 101 via the first snap-fit portion 121, the water-blocking pad 109 is sandwiched between the water-blocking portion 107 and the A-pillar 101. Furthermore, the water-blocking pad 109 can be in a compressed state to ensure that the water-blocking pad 109 is in close contact with the surface of the A-pillar 101 and the surface of the water-blocking portion 107. Some of the water flowing down from the gap 130 may flow down along the surface of the A-pillar 101. The water-blocking pad 109 is mainly used to block the water flowing down along the surface of the A-pillar 101, preventing water from flowing down from the gap between the surface of the A-pillar 101 and the water-blocking portion 107 and contacting the electrical component 131 below the water-blocking portion 107, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit of the electrical component 131. When the water barrier 109 is made of an absorbent elastic material (such as a sponge), the water barrier 109 can also absorb water, thereby further reducing the risk of water flowing down from the gap 130 between the water barrier 107 and the A-pillar 101.
[0055] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the water-retaining pad 109 may also be inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the extending direction of the water-retaining pad 109 is the same as the extending direction of the water-retaining portion 107. In the direction from back to front, the water-retaining pad 109 gradually extends downward. With the horizontal plane as the projection plane, the projection of the bottom end of the water-retaining pad 109 may be located within the projection of the water-receiving portion 105. Similar to the water-retaining portion 107, the inclined water-retaining pad 109 can also guide the water flowing down the surface of the A-pillar 101 to the water-receiving portion 105, and the water will not accumulate on the water-retaining pad 109. This helps to prevent water from dripping from the water-retaining pad 109 onto the electrical component 131 when the vehicle 100 is moving or vibrating, thereby helping to reduce the risk of short circuit failure of the electrical component 131.
