[0002] The washing pot of a vehicle is an important part of a windscreen washing system, which mainly stores and provides washing liquid required by the windscreen washing system. The washing pot is usually arranged in the front compartment assembly of the vehicle and is easily affected by the components of the front compartment assembly. For example, due to its position close to the engine, the washing pot is significantly affected by the temperature of the exhaust pipe of the engine, especially when the engine speed is high in extreme working conditions, resulting in high pre-exhaust temperature of the exhaust pipe, the washing liquid in the washing pot close to the exhaust pipe is heated, and the washing pot sprays, which not only causes the washing function of the washing pot to fail and wastes the washing liquid, but also may block the driver's view and affect safety.

[0045] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0046] The terms "first", "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first", "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.
[0047] In the description of the present application, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
[0048] The application provides a vehicle. The vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, an oil-electric hybrid vehicle, a plug-in hybrid vehicle, a range-extended electric vehicle, a fuel vehicle, etc. The vehicle can be a sedan, a van, a sport utility vehicle, a bus, a truck, a trailer, etc. The type of the vehicle is not limited in the application.
[0049] Exemplarily, the type of the vehicle is an off-road SUV.
[0050] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 Part of the structure of the vehicle provided by the embodiment of the application is shown in the schematic view. The vehicle in the application comprises a cleaning device 100.
[0051] Exemplarily, the cleaning device 100 is a washing kettle in the vehicle. The washing liquid stored in the washing kettle can be sprayed on the windshield of the vehicle through the liquid delivery pipe of the vehicle. The washing liquid can effectively dissolve and flush the dirt on the windshield, keep the windshield clean and transparent, and provide a clear view for the driver.
[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the cleaning device 100 in the application comprises a liquid storage tank 102 and a liquid injection conduit 101. The liquid storage tank 102 is arranged between the front bumper assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200 of the vehicle. One end of the liquid injection conduit 101 is in communication with the liquid storage tank 102, and the other end of the liquid injection conduit 101 is arranged in the front compartment assembly 200 of the vehicle to form a liquid injection port.
[0053] The front bumper assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200 of the vehicle are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the vehicle. By moving the liquid storage tank 102 to the position between the front bumper assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200 of the vehicle, on the one hand, there are multiple components of the vehicle between the liquid storage tank 102 and the engine exhaust pipe, so that the influence of the heat radiation of the engine exhaust pipe on the liquid storage tank 102 at high temperature can be completely avoided. On the other hand, the distance between the liquid storage tank 102 and the engine exhaust pipe is far, so that the influence of the heat convection and heat conduction of the engine exhaust pipe on the liquid storage tank 102 at high temperature can be reduced.
[0054] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 , the front compartment assembly 200 comprises a front compartment cavity 201 adapted to accommodate components such as an engine. Correspondingly, the other end of the liquid injection conduit 101 is arranged in the front compartment cavity 201 of the vehicle.
[0055] The front compartment assembly 200 further comprises a front compartment frame 202 located at the front side of the front compartment cavity 201 and forming a side wall of the front compartment cavity 201. The liquid storage tank 102 is arranged between the front compartment frame 202 and the front bumper assembly 600.
[0056] It should be noted that for small vehicles, the front compartment frame 200 can also not be a solid component but can refer to the intermediate line of the front compartment cavity 201 and the front compartment space, that is, the projection line of the engine cover in the horizontal plane.
[0057] In some embodiments, the vehicle body assembly in the present application includes a front compartment assembly 200 and a front compartment assembly 600, which are spaced apart in the first direction. The liquid storage tank 102 is arranged between the front compartment assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200.
[0058] Exemplarily, the front compartment assembly in the present application is the lower front compartment of the vehicle. On the one hand, the liquid storage tank 102 is located between the front compartment assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200, which is spaced apart from the main heat source such as the engine compared with the traditional position arranged in the engine compartment.
[0059] The engine generates a large amount of heat during operation, especially under high load operation or extreme working conditions. The traditional position of the liquid storage tank 102 is easily affected by the heat radiation of the engine, which causes the temperature of the internal washing liquid to rise sharply.
[0060] Such vehicle installation layout can effectively reduce the strength of the direct action of the engine heat radiation on the liquid storage tank 102, avoid the problems of washing liquid temperature rise, evaporation or deterioration caused by high temperature, and ensure the storage of washing liquid in a relatively stable temperature environment, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of its chemical properties and cleaning effect, thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the windscreen cleaning system.
[0061] On the other hand, moving the liquid storage tank 102 to the front compartment assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200 releases the space originally occupied by the liquid storage tank 102 in the engine compartment. The engine compartment has many complex components, such as the engine body 301, various pipelines, electrical equipment, etc., and the space is relatively compact.
[0062] The traditional liquid storage tank 102 is located in the engine compartment. In extreme conditions, such as engine overheating or failure causing the temperature in the engine compartment to rise sharply and the pressure to increase, the washing liquid in the washing kettle may leak, spray or even break due to high temperature and high pressure.
[0063] However, under the layout of the present application, even if similar extreme situations occur, since the liquid storage tank 102 is relatively far away from the key electrical systems and mechanical components in the engine compartment, and is blocked by the front compartment assembly 200 structure to a certain extent, the safety risks of corrosion, short circuit or damage to these important components caused by washing liquid leakage are greatly reduced, and the safety and reliability of vehicle operation are improved.
[0064] In addition, the other end of the liquid injection pipe 101 in the present application forms a liquid injection port in the front compartment assembly 200 of the vehicle and is fixed in position.
[0065] For users, it has been a long time to add washing liquid to the vehicle in a certain area in the engine compartment.
[0066] This design retains the position of the liquid injection port in the front compartment assembly 200, so that the user does not need to adapt to the new liquid injection position and operation mode, continues the user's usage habit, so that the user can easily find the liquid injection port to supplement the washing liquid, reduces the possible usage difficulties and misoperation probability caused by design changes, and improves the user experience.
[0067] The presence of the liquid injection conduit 101 enables the liquid storage tank 102 to be positioned between the relatively concealed and more reasonably space-utilized front compartment assembly 600 and the front compartment assembly 200, without considering directly arranging the liquid storage tank 102 in the traditional liquid injection area of the engine compartment which is convenient for liquid injection but may be not conducive to other aspects (such as temperature control, space layout, etc.).
[0068] After opening the engine cover, the user can still easily find the liquid injection port in the familiar front compartment assembly 200 area for operation, and the liquid injection conduit 101 can ensure smooth transmission of the washing liquid from the liquid storage tank 102 to the liquid injection port, avoiding the possible problems of liquid injection difficulty or poor flow caused by the change of the position of the liquid storage tank 102, making the entire liquid injection process more convenient and efficient.
[0069] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The application also includes a first connecting part 103, which is arranged on the liquid storage tank 102 and is adapted to connect the fender of the vehicle.
[0070] On the one hand, this arrangement cancels the mounting bracket dedicated to the fender in the prior art, saving mold cost and parts cost. In the traditional vehicle assembly design, the fender mounting bracket is a separate part, and its design, manufacture and subsequent mold development require a lot of resources.
[0071] By adopting the design of directly connecting the liquid storage tank 102 and the fender through the first connecting part 103, it is no longer necessary to design and manufacture a mounting bracket specially for the fender, reducing the production cost of the vehicle.
[0072] And this direct connection method forms a more closely related structure between the liquid storage tank 102 and the fender, greatly improving the integration level of the entire vehicle front structure. In the design and manufacturing process of the vehicle, a higher integration level means that the cooperation between the parts is more accurate and the synergy is stronger.
[0073] Meanwhile, when the vehicle is subjected to various complex working conditions and external impacts during operation, the integrated structure can better disperse and withstand stress. Compared with the traditional distributed structure, when a certain local area is subjected to a certain degree of external force disturbance or slight damage, the overall stability and functionality of the tightly integrated structure can still be better maintained, the fault tolerance is stronger, the systemic problems caused by local faults are effectively reduced, the reliability and durability of the vehicle are improved, the maintenance cost and frequency are reduced, and a more stable and reliable driving experience is provided for the vehicle owner.
[0074] The arrangement of the first connecting portion 103 organically combines the liquid storage tank 102 with the fender, avoiding the problem of space waste caused by the fender mounting bracket and the respective independent space occupation of the liquid storage tank 102 in the traditional design. After canceling the fender mounting bracket, valuable space is freed up for the installation of other important components such as the cooling system pipeline, electrical wiring, or some new type of sensor.
[0075] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 , along the height direction of the vehicle, the cross-sectional area of the liquid storage tank 102 gradually decreases.
[0076] As can be seen from the figure, the curvature of the fender causes the mounting space formed by the fender and the surrounding structure to gradually narrow in the downward direction.
[0077] The design of the liquid storage tank 102 with a cross-sectional area gradually decreasing along the height direction of the vehicle can perfectly adapt to the shape of the mounting space at the front end of the fender.
[0078] At the position where the top space is relatively ample, the liquid storage tank 102 can have a larger cross-sectional area to ensure sufficient washing liquid storage capacity; and as it extends downward, its cross-sectional area gradually decreases, precisely fitting the trend of the narrowing mounting space, avoiding the waste of space caused by the mismatch between the shape of the liquid storage tank 102 and the mounting space, maximizing the use of limited space, and improving the compactness and rationality of the vehicle front structure layout.
[0079] For the washing liquid in the liquid storage tank 102, this shape is beneficial to its stability at different liquid levels and vehicle driving conditions.
[0080] During vehicle driving, when the liquid in the liquid storage tank 102 is shaken, the larger space at the upper part can serve as a buffer area to reduce the impact of the liquid on the tank wall and the generation of foam. The relatively smaller cross-sectional area at the bottom allows a certain liquid pressure to be maintained at a lower liquid level when the washing liquid is being extracted, ensuring stable liquid supply to the spray head of the windshield cleaning system.
[0081] Even in complex working conditions such as frequent acceleration, deceleration or driving on bumpy roads, the smooth supply of washing liquid can be ensured, the working efficiency and reliability of the windshield cleaning system are improved, the driver is provided with a clear windshield view at any time, and the driving safety is ensured.
[0082] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first connecting part 103 is arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 102.
[0083] Since the cross-sectional area of the liquid storage tank 102 gradually decreases along the height direction, the bottom is relatively thick and stable. By arranging the first connecting part 103 at the bottom of the shell, the structural strength of the bottom can be better utilized to realize the connection with the mudguard.
[0084] The stress distribution on the bottom is more uniform. During the driving of the vehicle, whether encountering bumps, vibrations, or emergency braking, acceleration, etc., the tension, pressure and shear force borne by the first connecting part 103 can be more effectively transmitted to the solid structure of the bottom of the liquid storage tank 102, reducing the possibility of loosening, deformation or fracture at the connecting part, thereby ensuring the long-term stability of the connection between the liquid storage tank 102 and the mudguard, and ensuring the reliable operation of the entire cleaning device 100.
[0085] When the vehicle is running, various forces from the mudguard will be transmitted to the liquid storage tank 102 through the first connecting part 103. By placing the first connecting part 103 at the bottom, the relationship between the first connecting part 103 and the center of gravity of the liquid storage tank 102 is more reasonable. During the mechanical transmission process, this arrangement can make the force naturally disperse and conduct along the structure of the liquid storage tank 102, avoiding local stress concentration caused by improper connection point position.
[0086] Since the upper part of the liquid storage tank 102 has a relatively large cross-sectional area, if the first connecting part 103 is arranged at the top or side, it may occupy more space in the limited space at the front of the vehicle, and may interfere with other components (such as some auxiliary pipelines, electrical lines, etc. of the engine). The bottom connection method can make the upper space of the liquid storage tank 102 more flexible after installation, and coordinate with the layout of the surrounding components, avoid space conflicts, improve the utilization rate of the space at the front of the vehicle, and create better conditions for the reasonable arrangement of other components and the improvement of the overall performance of the vehicle.
[0087] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the vehicle body assembly in the present application further comprises a second connecting part 104, the second connecting part 104 is arranged on the liquid storage tank 102, and the second connecting part 104 is adapted to be connected with the support frame of the vehicle.
[0088] The vehicle will experience various complex road conditions during driving, such as bumps, acceleration, deceleration, and turning, which will generate forces and vibrations in different directions. The second connecting part 104 connects the liquid storage tank 102 with the vehicle body, and the support frame is usually an important part of the vehicle chassis structure, with strong rigidity and stability.
[0089] Through this connection, the liquid storage tank 102 can obtain additional support force, effectively reducing its own shaking amplitude. For example, when passing through rough road surface, the impact force transmitted by the vehicle suspension system will cause the vehicle body to vibrate with a large amplitude, and if the liquid storage tank 102 only relies on its own mounting point or single connection, it may shake violently or even displace. However, after being connected with the support frame, the liquid storage tank 102 can better maintain its position stable, reducing the risk of internal component damage caused by shaking, such as loosening or breaking of the washing liquid conduit, and ensuring the normal operation of the windscreen washing system.
[0090] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 5 , the liquid storage tank 102 includes a first shell part 1021 and a second shell part 1022 that are buckled to each other, and the first shell part 1021 is arranged at the front side of the second shell part 1022 along the length direction of the vehicle.
[0091] The liquid storage tank 102 in the present application is front-rear split mold, and the inside of the washing pot usually has some components, such as liquid level sensor, washing liquid delivery pipeline interface, etc. The front-rear split mold structure makes it possible to operate these internal components from the front-rear direction during installation.
[0092] Compared with other mold opening modes, workers can more easily access the internal space of the washing pot and more conveniently install components to the accurate position. For example, when installing the liquid level sensor, the installation height and position thereof can be more intuitively determined from the front-rear direction of the washing pot, improving the assembly efficiency.
[0093] Further, it can be understood that the size of the washing pot corresponding to different vehicle models is also different.
[0094] The space layout of the vehicle has certain planning in the length direction. The front-rear split mold structure of the washing pot makes it better adapt to the space in the front part of the vehicle.
[0095] Meanwhile, the first shell part 1021 faces forward, and compared with the left-right split mold, the first shell part 1021 can better cope with the impact force from the front during vehicle driving. Therefore, when the liquid storage tank 102 bears the inertial force generated by frontal collision or braking, the stress distribution is more reasonable.
[0096] The first shell part 1021 is located at the front side. The shape of the front part of the vehicle and the positions of other components can be reasonably designed so that the washing pot can coexist with the front bumper assembly 600 and the engine compartment of the vehicle and other components without occupying too much space, thereby improving the utilization rate of the space in the front part of the vehicle.
[0097] Correspondingly, the first connecting part 103 is located on the side of the second shell part 1022 away from the first shell part 1021, and the first connecting part 103 is connected to the second shell part 1022. The first connecting part 103 is suitable for connecting the fender of the vehicle.
[0098] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The vehicle body assembly in the application further includes a motor shell 1023, which is arranged at the front side of the liquid storage tank 102. The motor shell 1023 is suitable for accommodating a water spraying motor. The water spraying motor is suitable for being connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank 102 and for delivering the liquid in the liquid storage tank 102 outward.
[0099] The motor shell 1023 is arranged at the front side of the liquid storage tank 102, thereby fully utilizing the space in the front part of the liquid storage tank 102. In the area in the front part of the liquid storage tank 102, the liquid storage tank 102 and the motor shell 1023 of the cleaning device 100 are closely arranged, thereby avoiding waste of space.
[0100] In addition, the water spraying motor is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid storage tank 102. The motor shell 1023 is arranged at the front side of the liquid storage tank 102, thereby making the connecting pipeline between the water spraying motor and the liquid storage tank 102 shorter.
[0101] The motor shell 1023 is arranged at the front side of the liquid storage tank 102, thereby making it more convenient for maintenance personnel to maintain and overhaul the water spraying motor.
[0102] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 The motor shell 1023 includes a bottom plate 1023a and first and second side plates 1023b and 1023c arranged along the width direction of the vehicle. The bottom plate 1023a is connected to the liquid storage tank 102.
[0103] The first and second side plates 1023b and 1023c are connected to the bottom plate 1023a. The first side plate 1023b, the bottom plate 1023a, and the second side plate 1023c enclose a accommodating groove suitable for accommodating the water spraying motor.
[0104] The bottom plate 1023a is connected to the liquid storage tank 102, thereby providing a stable bottom support for the motor shell 1023.
[0105] When the vehicle vibrates, bounces, or encounters emergency braking, acceleration, or the like during driving, this connection mode can effectively fix the motor shell 1023 on the liquid storage tank 102, thereby reducing the shaking amplitude of the motor shell 1023.
[0106] The first side plate 1023b and the second side plate 1023c are connected to the bottom plate 1023a to jointly form a containing groove. This structure provides good lateral protection and fixation for the water jet motor in the width direction of the vehicle.
[0107] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and in combination with Figure 4 The liquid storage tank 102 further comprises at least one fixing member 1024 arranged on the surface of the liquid storage tank 102, and the fixing member 1024 is adapted to fix the wire 400 of the vehicle or the liquid guide pipe of the liquid storage tank 102.
[0108] By arranging the fixing member 1024 on the surface of the liquid storage tank 102 to fix the wire 400 and the liquid guide pipe, the surface space of the liquid storage tank 102 can be fully utilized. Compared with allowing the wire 400 to be randomly hung in the space at the front of the vehicle or to occupy the mounting space of other components, the fixing member 1024 enables the wire 400 to be arranged along the shape of the liquid storage tank 102, effectively saving space.
[0109] If the wire 400 is randomly placed, due to vibration, jolt, etc. during driving of the vehicle, the wire 400 can rub against or collide with other moving components (such as rotating fans, movable suspension components, etc.) of the vehicle, causing damage to the outer skin of the wire 400, and further causing safety problems such as short circuit and electric leakage.
[0110] The presence of the fixing member 1024 can fix the wire 400 and the liquid guide pipe of the liquid storage tank 102, so as to maintain a certain safety distance from other components, reduce these safety risks, and ensure normal operation of the electrical system of the vehicle.
[0111] In some embodiments, a safety gap is arranged between the front compartment frame 202 and the liquid storage tank 102.
[0112] Exemplarily, the safety gap is greater than or equal to 20 mm.
[0113] It can be understood that the safety distance to be maintained is inconsistent for different vehicle models. Further, in some embodiments, the vehicle body assembly comprises a lower front bumper, and the lower front bumper is arranged below the liquid storage tank 102, and a safety gap is arranged between the lower front bumper and the liquid storage tank 102.
[0114] Exemplarily, the safety gap between the lower front bumper and the liquid storage tank 102 is greater than or equal to 20 mm.
[0115] In the presence of the above safety distance, when a low-speed collision or vibration occurs when the vehicle passes through a deceleration strip, the liquid storage tank 102 will not be subjected to rigid collision due to close contact with the vehicle frame, thereby reducing the possibility of damage, deformation or damage to internal components of the liquid storage tank 102, and prolonging the service life of the cleaning device 100.
[0116] During normal driving of the vehicle, continuous vibration can cause friction between the liquid storage tank 102 and the vehicle frame. A suitable gap can effectively avoid this situation, preventing the materials of the liquid storage tank 102 and the vehicle frame surface from being worn out due to mutual friction. This is crucial for maintaining the structural integrity of the vehicle frame and the liquid storage tank 102, as well as the performance stability of the cleaning device 100, reducing potential failure risks due to component wear, such as a decrease in the sealing performance of the liquid storage tank 102 or damage to the corrosion-resistant coating of the vehicle frame.
[0117] In some embodiments, the vehicle body assembly in the present application includes a headlamp bracket, and the liquid storage tank 102 is arranged below the headlamp bracket along the height direction of the vehicle, and the liquid injection conduit 101 is arranged through the headlamp bracket.
[0118] The liquid injection conduit 101 arranged through the headlamp bracket makes the position of the liquid injection port more in line with the user's operation habits and ergonomic principles. When the user opens the vehicle front compartment assembly 200 cover to add cleaning liquid, the liquid injection port can be located at a position that is easier to access and operate, for example, without needing to bend over or stretch out to easily find the liquid injection port and perform the liquid injection operation. This improves the user's convenience in adding cleaning liquid and enhances the user's satisfaction with the vehicle.
[0119] The headlamp bracket provides certain protection for the liquid injection conduit 101. During driving of the vehicle, the liquid injection conduit 101 can be affected by various external factors, such as stone impact, tree branch scratching, etc. The liquid injection conduit 101 arranged through the headlamp bracket can avoid these direct external damages, reducing the risk of conduit breakage and damage, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the liquid injection conduit 101, and thus ensuring the normal delivery and addition of cleaning liquid.
[0120] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the vehicle in the present application includes a crash beam 300, which is arranged at the front side of the vehicle body assembly along the length direction of the vehicle, so that the vehicle of the present application can meet the safety concept and regulatory requirements.
[0121] In the event of a collision accident of the vehicle, especially involving pedestrians, this arrangement can effectively prevent the liquid storage tank 102 from directly contacting the pedestrians. The liquid storage tank 102 is usually a relatively hard container, and if it collides with the pedestrians first, it can cause serious secondary injuries to the pedestrians, such as fractures and contusions, etc.
[0122] Arranging the liquid storage tank 102 within the position not exceeding the crash beam 300, the pedestrians first contact the crash beam 300, which is specially designed to absorb a certain amount of collision energy and disperse impact force, thereby reducing the degree of injury to the body of the pedestrians.
[0123] In this way, even if the vehicle encounters an unexpected situation during driving, such as accidentally colliding with a pedestrian, the liquid storage tank 102 can effectively avoid direct contact with the pedestrian's body, thereby eliminating the risk of additional harm to the pedestrian and ensuring the safety of the pedestrian.
[0124] The crash beam 300 bears the main impact force in a vehicle collision. If the liquid storage tank 102 exceeds the crash beam 300, it will bear a huge external force at the moment of impact, which can easily cause the liquid storage tank 102 to break or deform.
[0125] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the vehicle further includes a wire 400, and the crash beam 300 includes a body 301 and a wire harness connector 302, the wire harness connector 302 is arranged on the body 301, the wire harness connector 302 is adapted to fix the wire 400, and the side of the wire 400 away from the wire harness connector 302 is connected to the vehicle body assembly.
[0126] The wire harness connector 302 provides a stable fixing point for the wire 400, so that the wire 400 can be firmly attached to the crash beam 300. When the vehicle is subjected to vibration, jolt, or external force impact, the wire 400 will not easily displace. This stability is crucial to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle electrical system. In particular, for some wires 400 connecting critical components (such as cameras, millimeter wave radars, etc.), if their position is unstable, it may cause the connection to loosen, thereby affecting signal transmission or the normal operation of electrical equipment.
[0127] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the wire 400 includes at least one bending section 401, and the bending section 401 is arranged between the vehicle body assembly and the crash beam 300.
[0128] When the vehicle is subjected to vibration, jolt, or external force impact during driving, the bending section 401 of the wire 400 can act as a buffer. Compared to a straight wire 400, the bending section 401 can act as a moving section of one end of the wire 400, and the stretching allowance of the bending section 401 can adapt to the relative movement between the vehicle body assembly and the crash beam 300.
[0129] For example, when the vehicle passes through a rough road, the vehicle body assembly and the crash beam 300 will produce relative displacement, and the bending section 401 can adapt to this displacement by deforming itself, preventing the wire 400 from breaking due to excessive tension or pressure. In other words, the bending section 401 acts as an "elastic link" in the wire 400, improving the fatigue resistance of the wire 400.
[0130] The setting of the bending section 401 provides flexibility for the installation of the wire 400 in the vehicle manufacturing process. The installation worker can adjust the position and shape of the wire 400 according to the actual space between the vehicle body assembly and the bumper beam 300, so that the wire 400 can be smoothly connected between the vehicle body assembly and the bumper beam 300. Compared with the straight wire 400, the wire 400 with the bending section 401 does not require very precise space matching during installation, reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation efficiency.
[0131] In the case of a vehicle collision or extreme working conditions, there may be a large relative displacement between the vehicle body assembly and the bumper beam 300. The wire 400 with the bending section 401 can flexibly adapt to such displacement changes. It can bend and stretch according to the space changes between the vehicle body assembly and the bumper beam 300, and will not be torn off like a straight wire 400 because it cannot adapt to deformation. Such adaptability is crucial to ensure the electrical connection integrity of the vehicle in complex situations, ensuring that the vehicle electrical system can continue to work stably.
[0132] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 The body 301 of the bumper beam 300 includes an energy-absorbing member 303 connected to the body 301, and the wire harness connector 302 is arranged on the energy-absorbing member 303.
[0133] When the vehicle collides, the energy-absorbing member 303 is a key component of the bumper beam 300, and its main function is to absorb and disperse collision energy. The energy-absorbing member 303 itself occupies a certain space in the structure of the bumper beam 300. By arranging the wire harness connector 302 on the energy-absorbing member 303, the space of the energy-absorbing member 303 is fully utilized to arrange the wire 400, avoiding the need to occupy other limited space of the vehicle by setting additional fixing structure for the wire 400. This space utilization method makes the layout of the front of the vehicle more compact, which helps to optimize the overall space layout of the vehicle and provides more available space for other components (such as the engine, cooling system, etc.).
[0134] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 The energy-absorbing member 303 includes a first surface suitable for mounting the wire harness connector 302, and the area of the first surface is greater than or equal to the area of the surface of the wire harness connector 302 suitable for connecting with the energy-absorbing member 303.
[0135] The first surface has a larger area, which provides a wider and more stable mounting basis for the wire harness connector 302. When the vehicle is vibrating, jolting or encountering a collision during driving, the larger contact area can make the wire harness connector 302 more firmly connected to the energy-absorbing member 303.
[0136] In some embodiments, the application further comprises a fender, the fender is adapted to be connected with the vehicle frame, and the liquid storage tank 102 is arranged between the fender and the bumper beam 300.
[0137] In the limited space in the front part of the vehicle, the liquid storage tank 102 is arranged between the fender and the bumper beam 300, which can realize a more compact and reasonable space layout. The fender and the bumper beam 300 occupy a specific position in the vehicle structure, and the liquid storage tank 102 is arranged in the space between them, which avoids finding an additional arrangement point for the liquid storage tank 102 that may conflict with other components in space, so that the arrangement of the components in the front part of the vehicle is more orderly, the space resources in this area are fully utilized, and the space planning of the entire front part of the vehicle is optimized.
[0138] During the driving of the vehicle, heat is generated by components such as the engine, and the ambient temperature also changes. The space between the fender and the bumper beam 300 is relatively closed, and this arrangement makes the liquid storage tank 102 in a relatively stable temperature environment.
[0139] Compared with placing the liquid storage tank 102 in the front compartment assembly 200, the liquid storage tank 102 is less affected by the heat radiation of the engine, and can also resist the interference of the drastic change of the external temperature to a certain extent, which helps to maintain the temperature of the washing liquid in the liquid storage tank 102 stable, ensures that the performance of the washing liquid is not excessively affected by the temperature change, and thus ensures that the vehicle cleaning device 100 can work normally and efficiently.
[0140] In some embodiments, the application further comprises a liquid delivery pipe, one end of the liquid delivery pipe is arranged in the front compartment assembly 200 and is adapted to clean the glass of the vehicle, and the other end of the liquid delivery pipe is in communication with the liquid storage tank 102.
[0141] The one end of the liquid delivery pipe is located in the front compartment assembly 200 and can be used to clean the glass of the vehicle, and the other end of the liquid delivery pipe is in communication with the liquid storage tank 102, which makes the washing liquid in the liquid storage tank 102 be able to be smoothly delivered to the front compartment assembly 200 through the liquid delivery pipe, and then be accurately sprayed on the glass of the vehicle to realize the cleaning function of the glass.
[0142] In the description of the present specification, specific features, structures, materials or characteristics can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
[0143] The above is only a specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
