[0032] Further improvement is, as Figure 2As shown, the two side edges of the spoiler body 1 distributed along the height direction of the spoiler body 1 are a first side edge and a second side edge, the rotation axis of the spoiler body 1 coincides with the first side edge, and the extension plate 2 is connected with the second side edge. Specifically, the first side edge is located in front of the vehicle forward direction, and when the spoiler body 1 rotates around the first side edge, the position of the first side edge does not change, which is conducive to sealing the gap between the first side edge and the vehicle head during installation of the side spoiler, ensuring the sealing effect between the two, thereby improving the integration between the vehicle head and the side spoiler and reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle.

[0033] Further improvement is that, as shown in Figure 1 The extension plate 2 is in the same plane as the spoiler body 1, and a plurality of extension plates 2 are provided, each extension plate 2 being sequentially connected end to end along the length direction of the spoiler body 1. The provision of multiple extension plates 2 can expand the adjustment range of the length of the spoiler body 1, so that the side spoiler can be adapted to more sizes of cargo boxes, and the practicality of the side spoiler is improved.

[0034] Further improvement is that, as shown in Figure 4 The power mechanism 4 includes a slide rail 404 fixedly connected with the mounting bracket 3 perpendicular to the first side edge, the slide rail 404 being slidably provided with a sliding block 403, the sliding block 403 being hingedly connected with the spoiler body 1 through a transmission rod 401, and the mounting bracket 3 further being provided with a driving member in transmission connection with the sliding block 403. The driving member includes a lead screw 405 arranged along the extension direction of the slide rail 404, and a motor 402 fixedly connected with the mounting bracket 3, the lead screw 405 being driven to rotate by the motor 402, and the sliding block 403 being driven to slide along the slide rail 404 by the lead screw 405, the spoiler body 1 being controlled to rotate by the sliding block 403 under the transmission of the transmission rod 401, so as to realize adjustment of the side spoiler.

[0035] Further improvement is that, as shown in Figure 3 and 5 The spoiler body 1 is fixedly connected with a first connecting sleeve 101, and the extension plate 2 is provided with a pin shaft 203 in plug-in cooperation with the first connecting sleeve 101. The pin shaft 203 is in plug-in cooperation with the first connecting sleeve 101 to realize connection and separation between the spoiler body 1 and the extension plate 2, improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the extension plate 2, and further improve the convenience of use of the side spoiler.

[0036] Further improvement is that, as shown in Figure 3 and 5As shown, the first connecting sleeve 101 is fixed on the inner side of the spoiler body 1, and its axis is parallel to the first side. The pin 203 is coaxially arranged with the first connecting sleeve 101. The inner side of the extension plate 2 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 201. The pin 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the front end of the connecting rod 201. A locking component is provided between the connecting rod 201 and the spoiler body 1. The locking component includes a threaded sleeve 205 provided on the inner side of the spoiler body 1 and a positioning hole 202 opened on the connecting rod 201. The threaded sleeve 205 is threadedly connected to a screw 5 that passes through the positioning hole 202.

[0037] When the extension plate 2 is connected to the spoiler body 1, the pin 203 is inserted from top to bottom into the first connecting sleeve 101, so that the connecting rod 201 is mounted above the first connecting sleeve 101, thus achieving the connection between the extension plate 2 and the spoiler body 1. Multiple sets of the first connecting sleeve 101, pin 203, and connecting rod 201 can be provided to improve the stability of the connection between the extension plate 2 and the spoiler body 1. After the connection between the extension plate 2 and the spoiler body 1 is completed, the extension plate 2 can be rotated around the axis of the first connecting sleeve 101. When the extension plate 2 rotates to the same plane as the spoiler body 1, the threaded sleeve 205 is inserted into the positioning hole 202. At this time, the screw 5 is screwed into the threaded sleeve 205 to lock the connecting rod 201 and the spoiler body 1. When the two are in the same plane, the gap between them can be controlled by the position of the preset pin 203 and the first connecting sleeve 101 to minimize the gap between them, thereby improving the integration between the spoiler body 1 and the extension plate 2 and reducing wind resistance. By controlling the rotation of the extension plate 2, the extension plate 2 can be folded and unfolded, which facilitates the extension plate 2's retraction and unfolding. When the extension plate is folded to the inside of the spoiler body 1, the connecting rod 201 can be fixed to the mounting bracket 3 by cable ties to fix the extension plate 2, preventing the extension plate 2 from shaking during vehicle operation and improving vehicle driving safety. When the extension plate 2 is not needed, it can also be removed from the spoiler body 1 for storage, which can reduce vehicle weight and reduce vehicle energy consumption.

The second connecting sleeve 204 matches the pin 203. The disassembly and assembly connection method between the extension plates 2 and the extension plate 2 is the same as that between the extension plate 2 and the spoiler body 1. It is achieved by the insertion and engagement between the pin 203 and the first connecting sleeve 204. The connecting rod 201 and the threaded sleeve 205 are locked and separated by the screw 5, so as to realize the switching between the rotational connection and the fixed connection method between the extension plates 2 and the extension plates 2.

[0039] Further improvement is that, as shown in Figure 3 and 5 The first side edge and the second side edge are both provided with the sealing strip 206 along the self extending direction; the two side edges of the extending plate 2 distributed along the self height direction are both provided with the sealing strip 206. The sealing strip 206 can be a rubber strip, the sealing strip 206 can fill the gap between the extending plate 2 and the extending plate 2 and the spoiler main body 1, and also can fill the gap between the spoiler main body 1 and the vehicle head, thereby improving the integrity between the side spoiler and the vehicle head, reducing the gap therebetween, and achieving the purpose of reducing the overall wind resistance of the vehicle.
