[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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 some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0041] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "inner" and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the product is in use. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "setup" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0043] The rear spoiler in this application is mainly used for the installation of rear cameras on vehicles. By changing the connection method of the camera mounting cover on the spoiler, the camera mounting cover on the spoiler can be detached and replaced. Thus, under the condition of not disassembling and assembling the spoiler, different configurations of camera mounting covers and / or cameras can be detachably and replaceably installed on the spoiler, reducing the number of molds required for different configurations of vehicle spoilers and improving the efficiency of camera disassembly, assembly and maintenance.

[0044] See Figure 1 and combined Figures 2-5 The rear spoiler of this utility model includes a spoiler body 1 and a camera cover 2 disposed on the spoiler body 1. The camera cover 2 serves as the main mounting structure for the camera and is detachably snapped onto the spoiler body 1. This enables the camera cover 2 of different configuration vehicles to be installed and removed from the same spoiler body 1, and also enables the installation and removal of cameras (not shown in the figure) of different configurations on the camera cover 2.

[0045] The spoiler body includes a first connecting part, and the camera cover includes various types, with each of the various different structural forms including a second connecting part of the same structure and size.

[0046] In order to enable the unified assembly and disassembly of camera covers for vehicles with different configurations on the same spoiler body, the second connecting part is detachably snapped into the first connecting part, so that different types of camera covers can be replaced and installed on the spoiler body.

[0047] Specifically, the camera cover 2 includes various types. Combined with the detachable snap-fit ​​of the camera cover 2 onto the spoiler body 1, different types of camera covers 2 can be replaced and installed on the spoiler body with the same structural form, thus achieving flexible and replaceable installation.

[0048] A camera mounting bracket 3 is provided on the inside of the camera cover 2 for fixing the camera in place. It also allows for disassembly, maintenance, and replacement of the camera, providing a mounting base. The main function of the camera mounting bracket 3 is camera installation. Cameras of the same number but different configurations can share the same structural form of the camera mounting bracket 3, such as sharing a single-hole camera mounting bracket or a dual-hole camera mounting bracket.

[0049] Meanwhile, cameras with different configurations and numbers can be disassembled and replaced by simply replacing the camera cover 2.

[0050] The rear spoiler of this utility model facilitates the disassembly and installation of cameras with different configurations and numbers. At the same time, depending on the camera configuration, camera covers 2 with different structures and shapes can be disassembled and replaced separately, reducing the disassembly and assembly operations of the spoiler body. It also reduces the need for independent mold making for spoilers of different configurations for individual car models, saving R&D costs and improving the maintenance efficiency of the cameras.

[0051] From the perspective of the detachable and replaceable camera covers 2 on the spoiler body 1, in one specific embodiment, the first connecting part specifically includes a spoiler slot 11 provided on the spoiler body 1, and the second connecting part specifically includes a cover buckle 21 provided on the camera cover 2. The cover buckle 21 and the spoiler slot 11 are positioned opposite each other, which facilitates the mating and locking of cover buckles 21 of the same structure and size on the spoiler slot 11. During the connection process, the camera cover 2 can be locked onto the spoiler body 1 by the snap-fit ​​cooperation between the cover buckle 21 and the spoiler slot 11, while also facilitating the removal of the camera cover 2 from the spoiler body 1.

[0052] To ensure a refined appearance after installation, the spoiler body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 12. The camera cover 2 is installed on the mounting groove 12. After connection, the camera cover 2 can smoothly transition with the top wall of the spoiler body 1, further achieving a seamless fit and improving the overall coordination after assembly.

[0053] The spoiler slot 11 includes a linear slot 11a set on the edge of the mounting groove 12. The linear slot 11a is a through slot structure with the top and bottom connected. It is mainly used for the cover buckle 21 to be inserted and extended, and to form a good positioning match for the installation process of the cover buckle 21, as well as the limiting and fixing after assembly.

[0054] Meanwhile, as part of the main body of the spoiler, the linear slot 11a can be snapped into the bottom of the linear slot 11a after passing through it, thus fixing the camera cover 2 in place.

[0055] In this utility model, the structure of the spoiler body 1 remains fixed. The mounting groove 12 allows for the installation of camera covers 2 with different structural forms. However, since the structure of the mounting groove 12 cannot be changed following the spoiler body, the camera covers 2 in this embodiment need to be provided with a common and shared mounting docking structure to ensure the precise connection of different camera covers 2 on the mounting groove 12.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the camera cover 2 includes edge panels 22 located on the same mounting plane. To ensure a smooth transition and seamless fit between the camera cover 2 and the spoiler, the edge panels 22 have the same thickness. The uniform thickness of the edge panels 22 needs to be reflected in two aspects: firstly, the edge panels 22 on different sides of the same camera cover 2 have the same thickness; secondly, the edge panels 22 on different camera covers 2 have the same thickness.

[0057] Furthermore, in order to enable different camera covers 2 to be matched and installed on the fixed spoiler body, the outline shape of the edge plate 22 is the same as the outline shape of the mounting groove 12, and the thickness of the edge plate 22 is the same as the groove depth of the mounting groove 12. The edge plate 22 of the camera cover 2 can be seamlessly accommodated in the mounting groove 12 to achieve a smooth transition matching installation.

[0058] The cover buckle 21 is connected below the edge of the edge panel 22, allowing the cover buckle 21 to extend downward into the linear slot 11a and be locked in place.

[0059] In another specific embodiment, the cover buckle 21 includes a snap-fit ​​piece 21a, which is positioned opposite to the linear slot 11a to achieve positioning and pairing.

[0060] Based on the positioning and matching, in order to enable the cover buckle 21 to be inserted and installed in the linear slot 11a, the root of the snap-fit ​​piece 21a is integrally connected to the bottom edge wall of the edge panel 22, and the mounting plane of the snap-fit ​​piece 21a is perpendicular to the mounting plane of the edge panel 22.

[0061] Furthermore, from the perspective of snap-fit ​​fixation, the snap-fit ​​piece 21a includes a hollow through hole 21b located in the middle, and a snap-fit ​​claw 21c is connected to the hollow through hole 21b. The snap-fit ​​claw 21c is the main functional structure for snap-fit ​​engagement. After the snap-fit ​​piece 21a extends into the linear slot 11a, it can elastically protrude outward from its bottom, thereby realizing the snap-fit ​​fixation of the camera cover 2 on the mounting slot 12.

[0062] Specifically, the latch 21c is arranged radially outward along the camera cover 2, and in the vertical projection direction, at least a portion of the latch 21c protrudes outward from the edge of the edge panel 22.

[0063] During assembly, the locking claw 21c can retract inward along the radial direction of the camera cover 2 under the action of downward pressure. At the same time, after the locking piece 21a passes through the linear slot 11a, the locking claw 21c returns to its natural state, elastically expands outward, and then abuts against the bottom position of the linear slot 11a.

[0064] From the perspective of providing the necessary installation space for the camera, the camera cover 2 also includes an arched cover plate 23 disposed inside the edge panel 22. The cavity space formed by the arched cover plate 23 constitutes the camera fixing bracket 3 and the camera mounting cavity.

[0065] The dome cover 23 and the edge surrounding plate 22 are integrally formed, which ensures the overall structural strength of the camera cover 2 and can be processed as a whole by injection molding.

[0066] The camera mounting bracket 3 is bonded to the top of the dome cover plate 23, which facilitates the installation of the camera in the aforementioned mounting cavity.

[0067] To ensure the basic functions of the camera, a lens through hole 24 is provided on the side of the arch cover plate 23, which allows the camera lens to be fixed in place.

[0068] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation and removal of the camera cover 2, the outline shape of the camera cover 2 and the outline shape of the mounting groove 12 are both trapezoidal structures, and the length of the outline edge facing the rear of the vehicle is greater than the length of the outline edge away from the rear of the vehicle.

[0069] This design facilitates the application of external prying force, and by disassembling the narrow side, it makes it easier to lift the camera cover 2, greatly simplifying the disassembly process during maintenance.

[0070] The cover buckle 21 and the spoiler slot 11 are respectively provided in pairs on each side of the camera cover 2 and the mounting slot 12.

[0071] Specifically, the cover buckles 21 are paired on the four periphery of the camera cover 2, and the spoiler slots 11 are paired on the four periphery of the mounting groove 12. Through the above-mentioned snapping of different parts, the movement of the camera cover 2 in different directions can be restricted, ensuring its stable installation on the spoiler body 1.

[0072] This utility model also provides a vehicle, including the aforementioned rear spoiler and a camera. The camera is detachably and replaceably mounted on the rear spoiler via a camera cover 2. At the same time, based on the replaceable installation of different types of camera covers on the spoiler body, the spoiler body 1 can be used as a universal mounting component and can be adapted to the installation of camera covers 2 with different configurations.

[0073] See Figure 6 The camera cover 2 can be a single-hole camera cover 2 structure, and the camera cover 2 can also be... Figure 7The dual-hole camera cover 2 in the design avoids the need for separate molds for spoilers of different configuration models, saving development costs and shortening the verification cycle. The camera can be maintained or replaced without disassembling the spoiler assembly. In fact, the entire camera cover 2 can be replaced after removing the camera cover 2, which greatly improves the convenience and timeliness of camera maintenance and repair, and achieves compatibility with cameras of different configurations.

[0074] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0075] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
