[0042] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0043] This application proposes a vehicle, Figures 1 to 3 These are some embodiments of this application.

[0044] Please see Figure 1In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle includes a driving assistance system 3 and an air vent panel 1, the air vent panel 1 being located on one side of the driving assistance system 3 and having at least one air vent 2; wherein the driving assistance system 3 is located outside the flow path of the gas blown out from the air vent 2.

[0045] In the technical solution of this application, since the driving assistance system 3 is located outside the flow path of the gas blown out of the air outlet 2, the driving assistance system 3 will not block the gas blown out of the air outlet 2, so that the gas blown out of the air outlet 2 can be blown directly towards the vehicle window to meet the vehicle's defrosting needs.

[0046] It should be noted that in the relevant technology, the vehicle's defrost vents are located at the lower edge of the window and extend towards the upper edge of the window. The driver assistance system installed on the window may partially obstruct the defrost vents, making it difficult for the air blown out of the defrost vents to directly reach the window on the side of the driver assistance system away from the defrost vents, resulting in poor defrosting effect of the vehicle.

[0047] In this embodiment, the driving assistance system is not located in the flow path of the gas blown out of the air outlet, thus effectively solving the technical problems in the related art.

[0048] Among them, the driver assistance system 3, located on one side of the window 4, can provide the driver with real-time driver assistance information and warning functions, thereby improving the safety and convenience of the driver.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, the orthographic projection of the air outlet 2 onto the horizontal plane is outside the orthographic projection of the driving assistance system 3 onto the horizontal plane; that is, in this embodiment, the relative positions of the driving assistance system 3 and the air outlet 2 are adjusted so that the air outlet 2's airflow direction is not blocked by the driving assistance system 3, thereby meeting the defrosting requirements of the window 4.

[0050] Understandably, if the air outlet angle of the air outlet 2 remains unchanged, the greater the distance between the air outlet 2 and the driver assistance system 3, the less likely the air outlet 2 will be blocked by the driver assistance system 3.

[0051] Of course, the distance between the air vent 2 and the driver assistance system 3 should not be too far. If the distance between the air vent 2 and the driver assistance system 3 is too large, the distance between the air vent 2 and the car window 4 will also be too large. This will cause the air blown out from the air vent 2 to have to travel a long distance before landing on the car window 4, thus failing to achieve a good defrosting effect.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the air outlet 2 is located in the middle of the dashboard 5.

[0053] Based on the embodiment where the orthographic projection of the air outlet 2 on the horizontal plane is outside the orthographic projection of the driver assistance system 3 on the horizontal plane, this application does not limit the positional relationship between the air outlet panel 1 and the driver assistance system 3.

[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the orthographic projection of the air outlet panel 1 onto the horizontal plane is located outside the orthographic projection of the driving assistance system 3 onto the horizontal plane.

[0055] In another embodiment of this application, the orthographic projection of the air outlet panel 1 onto the horizontal plane overlaps with the orthographic projection of the driver assistance system 3 onto the horizontal plane.

[0056] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the horizontal plane is a plane perpendicular to the first direction Z.

[0057] In some embodiments of this application, the first direction Z is the height direction of the vehicle.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the orthographic projection of the air outlet panel 1 onto the horizontal plane is located outside the orthographic projection of the driving assistance system 3 onto the horizontal plane; this arrangement is such that the orthographic projection of the air outlet 2 onto the horizontal plane is located outside the orthographic projection of the driving assistance system 3 onto the horizontal plane, thereby ensuring that the air outlet direction of the air outlet 2 is not blocked by the driving assistance system 3, so as to meet the defrosting requirements of the window 4.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the driving assistance system 3 includes a first end 31 near the air vent panel 1 and a second end 32 away from the air vent panel 1, wherein the gas blown out from the air vent 2 falls on one side of the second end 32 and away from the first end 31; in this embodiment, the area of ​​the window 4 that needs to be defrosted is located on one side of the second end 32. By setting the gas blown out from the air vent 2 to fall on one side of the second end 32 and away from the first end 31, it is ensured that the driving assistance system 3 will not obstruct the air vent 2, while meeting the defrosting requirements of the window 4.

[0060] It should be noted that the defrosting vents in the relevant technology are not suitable for defrosting the area of ​​the window 4 located on the second end 32.

[0061] Furthermore, the driving assistance system 3 in this embodiment can be directly mounted on the window 4 or the driving assistance system 3 can be fixed relative to the window 4 but not mounted on the window 4, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle further includes a window 4, which has a first region 41 and a second region 42. The first region 41 and the second region 42 do not overlap. The driving assistance system 3 is disposed in the first region, and the air blown out from the air vent 2 falls into the second region 42. The first region 41 is the installation area of ​​the driving assistance system 3 and is blocked by the driving assistance system 3, so there is no need to defrost the first region 41. The position of the air vent 2 can effectively defrost the second region 42 to meet the defrosting requirements of the window.

[0063] The location of window 4 inside the vehicle is not restricted.

[0064] In one embodiment, window 4 can be a front window.

[0065] In another embodiment, window 4 can be a rear window.

[0066] In another embodiment, window 4 can be a window glass located on a door.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the window 4 is the front window; during actual driving, if the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the vehicle is too large, it will cause frost to form on the inside of the front window, thereby obstructing the driver's view and posing a serious safety hazard; the air vent panel 1 in this embodiment of the application will not be blocked by the driver assistance system 3 when venting air, so as to effectively defrost the second area 42 of the front window, thereby ensuring the user's driving safety and user experience.

[0068] The inner side of window 4 is the side of window 4 that is close to the air vent panel 1 and the driver assistance system 3.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, both the air vent panel 1 and the driver assistance system 3 are located inside the vehicle.

[0070] It is understood that, in the embodiments of this application, there are no restrictions on the manner in which the gas blown out from the air outlet 2 falls into the second region 42.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, the installation position of the air outlet panel 1 and the air outlet angle of the air outlet 2 may be designed during vehicle production and assembly to ensure that the gas blown out of the air outlet 2 falls into the second area 42.

[0072] In some other embodiments of this application, the installation position of the air outlet panel 1 can be designed during vehicle production and assembly to ensure that the gas blown out of the air outlet 2 falls on the second area 42. At the same time, the air outlet 2 can be designed to be adjustable so that, according to actual needs, the air outlet 2 can be aimed at the more severely frosted area of ​​the second area 42, thereby improving the defrosting effect of the air outlet panel 1.

[0073] In some embodiments of this application, the first end 31 of the driving assistance system 3 is located near the contact position between the window 4 and the dashboard 5 and is mounted on the window 4. The area of ​​the window 4 between the first end 31 and the dashboard 5 is not available for the driver to observe the external environment, so there is no need to defrost it.

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the first end 31 is located below the second end 32.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the driving assistance system 3 is located near the lower area of ​​the window 4 and is mounted on the window 4.

[0076] In some embodiments of this application, the second region 42 includes multiple sub-regions; multiple air outlets 2 are provided, and the gas blown out by each air outlet 2 falls on each sub-region respectively; that is, in this embodiment, multiple air outlets 2 are provided to defrost multiple sub-regions respectively, so as to improve the defrosting effect of the car window 4.

[0077] The relative positions of the multiple air vents 2 and the windows 4 can be the same or different; there are no restrictions here; it is only necessary to ensure that the multiple air vents 2 are not blocked by the driver assistance system 3.

[0078] Please see Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the angle between the flow direction of the gas blown from the air outlet 2 and the window 4 is α; wherein, α satisfies: 25°≤α≤35°; in this embodiment, by designing α to satisfy this range, it is ensured that the gas blown from the air outlet 2 will not be blocked by the driver assistance system 3, so as to meet the defrosting requirements of the window 4.

[0079] If α is less than 25°, the flow direction of the gas blown out from the air outlet 2 is close to the horizontal plane, which may reduce the impact efficiency of the gas blown out from the air outlet 2 to the car window 4, thus affecting the defrosting effect. In addition, the gas blown out from the air outlet 2 may fall on the edge of the second area 42, so that the gas cannot diffuse well in the second area 42, thus affecting the defrosting effect.

[0080] If α is greater than 35°, the angle between the airflow direction from vent 2 and the window is close to that of a direct blast, which can cause the air to bounce off the window 4 after hitting it. This results in poor diffusion of the air on the window 4, affecting the defrosting effect. Furthermore, there is a possibility that some of the air blown from vent 2 may be blocked by the driver assistance system 3, also affecting the defrosting effect.

[0081] The value of α can be 25°, 25.5°, 26°, 26.5°, 27°, 27.5°, 28°, 28.5°, 29°, 29.5°, 30°, 30.5°, 31°, 31.5°, 32°, 32.5°, 33°, 33.5°, 34°, 34.5°, or 35°. The value of α is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values ​​within this range also apply.

[0082] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, the value of α is 27°.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, the horizontal distance between the air vent 2 and the window 4 is L; wherein L satisfies: 120mm≤L≤200mm. In this embodiment, L is designed to satisfy this range to ensure that the air blown out of the air vent 2 is not blocked by the driver assistance system 3, thereby meeting the defrosting requirements of the window 4.

[0084] If L is less than 120mm, the air vent 2 and the window 4 may be too close, causing the air blown out of the air vent 2 to fall on the window 4 and not easily diffuse to the entire part of the window 4 that needs to be defrosted, resulting in poor defrosting effect. In addition, there may be a situation where part of the air blown out of the air vent 2 is blocked by the driver assistance system 3, which will affect the defrosting effect.

[0085] If L is greater than 200mm, the distance between the air outlet 2 and the window 4 may be too far, causing the air blown out of the air outlet 2 to diffuse severely before it lands on the window, thus affecting the defrosting effect. In addition, the air blown out of the air outlet 2 may land on the edge of the second area 42, preventing the air from diffusing properly in the second area 42, thus affecting the defrosting effect.

[0086] Where L can be 120mm, 125mm, 130mm, 135mm, 140mm, 145mm, 150mm, 155mm, 160mm, 165mm, 170mm, 175mm, 180mm, 185mm, 190mm, 195mm, or 200mm. The value of α is not limited to the listed values; other unlisted values ​​within this range also apply.

[0087] Preferably, in some embodiments of this application, the value of L is 160 mm.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle also includes a dashboard 5, which is located on one side of the window 4, and at least a portion of the dashboard 5 forms an air vent panel 1; that is, in this embodiment, an air vent 2 can be directly formed on the dashboard 5 to achieve the defrosting function of the window 4.

[0089] It is understandable that the air outlet 2 located on the instrument panel 5 can be formed together with the instrument panel 5 during the forming process, or the air outlet 2 can be formed by drilling holes in the instrument panel 5 after the instrument panel 5 has been formed.

[0090] In some embodiments of this application, the vehicle also includes a dashboard 5, which is located on one side of the window 4, and an air vent panel 1 is fixedly installed on the dashboard 5; that is, in this embodiment, by fixing the air vent panel 1 on the dashboard 5, the relative positions of the air vent 2 and the window 4 are fixed, so that the air blown out from the air vent 2 can defrost the window 4.

[0091] Similarly, by assembling the air outlet panel 1 and the instrument panel 5 together, it is also convenient for operators to replace either the air outlet panel 1 or the instrument panel 5.

[0092] The fixing method between the air outlet panel 1 and the instrument panel 5 is not limited; it can be screwed or snap-fitted, etc.

[0093] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, the air outlet panel 1 and the dashboard 5 are connected by screws.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, in order to ensure that the outer surface of the dashboard 5 is neat and aesthetically pleasing, the screw is located on the inside of the dashboard 5 and passes through the dashboard 5 to be screwed to the air outlet panel 1.

[0095] In some embodiments of this application, a mounting groove 6 is provided on the dashboard 5, and at least a portion of the air outlet panel 1 is located in the mounting groove 6. This arrangement reduces the volume of the portion of the air outlet panel 1 that protrudes from the outer surface of the dashboard 5 or prevents the air outlet panel 1 from protruding from the dashboard 5, thereby adapting the shape of the air outlet panel 1 to the dashboard 5 and improving the aesthetics of the dashboard 5 after the air outlet panel 1 is assembled to the dashboard 5.

[0096] In one embodiment of this application, the outer surface of the air outlet panel 1 is flush with the outer surface of the dashboard 5.

[0097] In another embodiment of this application, the outer surface of the air outlet panel 1 is lower than the outer surface of the dashboard 5.

[0098] In another embodiment of this application, the outer surface of the air outlet panel 1 is higher than the outer surface of the dashboard 5; at least a portion of the air outlet panel 1 protrudes from the dashboard 5. In this embodiment, the portion of the air outlet panel 1 that protrudes from the dashboard 5 can be shaped to improve the aesthetics of the dashboard 5.

[0099] It is understandable that when the air outlet panel 1 is assembled into the mounting groove 6, the groove wall of the mounting groove 6 can pre-fix the air outlet panel 1, thereby facilitating the operation of the tooling or the operator to tighten the air outlet panel 1.

[0100] In some embodiments of this application, the air outlet panel 1 does not protrude from the dashboard 5; that is, the outer surface of the air outlet panel 1 is flush with the outer surface of the dashboard 5 or the outer surface of the air outlet panel 1 is lower than the outer surface of the dashboard 5, thereby improving the aesthetics of the dashboard 5 after the air outlet panel 1 is assembled to the dashboard 5.

[0101] In some embodiments of this application, the dashboard 5 has a wind cavity 7, which is connected to the air outlet 2; wherein the wind cavity 7 can introduce gas into the air outlet 2, thereby allowing the gas to flow from the air outlet 2 to the window 4, so as to achieve the defrosting function of the window 4.

[0102] In some embodiments of this application, a channel 8 is provided on the dashboard 5, and the air outlet panel 1 includes a panel body 11 and an air outlet 12. The panel body 11 is fixedly installed on the dashboard 5, and the air outlet 12 is connected to the panel body 11. An air outlet 2 is provided on the air outlet 12. At least a portion of the air outlet 12 is located in the channel 8 so that the air outlet 2 and the air cavity 7 are connected. In this embodiment, by providing at least a portion of the air outlet 12 extending into the channel 8, gas leakage at the gap between the panel body 11 and the dashboard 5 is avoided.

[0103] The air outlet panel 1 in this application embodiment can be designed with the size and angle of the air outlet 2 according to the actual defrosting needs, so that the driver can aim the air outlet 2 at the area of ​​the car window 4 where the frost is most severe according to the defrosting needs; in addition, the air outlet panel 1 of this application can also take into account noise control when the gas passes through, ensuring that the noise level meets the production standards.

[0104] In this embodiment, the air outlet panel 1 can also be designed with a pattern on its surface according to the shape of the air outlet 2, so as to integrate with the shape of the dashboard 5. The air outlet panel 1 and the dashboard 5 have a stronger overall integrity, which satisfies both the defrosting function and the aesthetic requirements.

[0105] The installation process of the air outlet panel 1, the instrument panel 5 and the air cavity 7 in this embodiment is as follows: First, the air outlet panel 1 is embedded into the mounting groove 6 of the instrument panel 5. Then, the screws are passed through the inside of the instrument panel 5 and screwed to the air outlet panel 1. Finally, the air cavity 7 is installed in the instrument panel 5 so that the air cavity 7 is connected to the channel 8 to realize the air outlet 2's air outlet function.

[0106] The vehicles in the embodiments of this application may be gasoline vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, or new energy vehicles, etc., and this application does not make specific limitations on them.
