The chassis 101 includes a bottom plate 117, a support seat 118, and multiple wheels 119.

[0021] In this specific embodiment, both of the flow guiding components 108 are fixedly connected to the chassis 101, both of the doors 107 are rotatably connected to the carriage 106 and located on one side of the carriage 106, the carriage 106 is fixedly connected to the chassis 101, each of the motors 105 is fixedly connected to the corresponding side frame 103, each of the side curtain frames 104 is slidably connected to the corresponding side frame 103, both of the side frames 103 are fixedly connected to the carriage 106, the top plate 111 is fixedly connected to the carriage body 109, each of the fixing rods 110 is fixedly connected to the carriage body 109, the carriage body 109 is fixedly connected to the chassis 101, both of the rotating shafts 113 are fixedly connected to the carriage body 109, the door 112 is rotatably connected to the two rotating shafts 113, and the flow guiding plate 116 is connected to the... The electric telescopic rod 115 is slidably connected, and the electric telescopic rod 115 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 114. The mounting plate 114 is fixedly connected to the chassis 101. Each wheel 119 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 117. The support seat 118 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 117. The bottom plate 117 is fixedly connected to the body 109. The guide plate 116 in the currently installed flow guide assembly 108 pops out under the action of the corresponding electric telescopic rod 115, increasing downward friction while reducing wind resistance and reducing the flow of wind towards the wheel 119. In conjunction with the side curtain frame 104 and the corresponding motor 105 to open and close the curtain, the problem of high wind resistance during vehicle operation and the non-streamlined design of the body 109, which easily leads to increased fuel consumption during long-distance transportation, is solved without affecting the curtain retraction and release.

[0022] The two airflow guiding components 108 are located on both sides of the chassis 101, the two doors 107 are located on one side of the carriage 106, the carriage 106 is located above the chassis 101, each motor 105 is located on one side of the corresponding side frame 103, each side curtain frame 104 is located on the inner side of the corresponding side frame 103, the two side frames 103 are located on both sides of the carriage 106, and the top plate 111 has multiple grooves for rainwater and flowing air to pass through, reducing the friction on the top of the carriage 109 and reducing energy consumption.

[0023] Secondly, the top plate 111 is located above the body 109, and each of the fixing rods 110 is located on both sides of the body 109. The body 109 is located above the chassis 101, and both of the rotating shafts 113 are located on one side of the body 109. The door 112 is located on one side of the two rotating shafts 113. The fixing rods 110 on both sides of the body 109 mainly serve to prevent transported goods from falling and to support the body 109. The two doors 112 are common semi-trailer doors in the market and rotate through the corresponding rotating shafts 113. The inner side of the mounting plate 114 has a groove for placing the guide plate 116, and the guide plate 116 is rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting plate 114. After the electric telescopic rod 115 is started, it also always remains rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting plate 114.

[0024] Meanwhile, the guide plate 116 is located at one end of the electric telescopic rod 115, the electric telescopic rod 115 is located inside the mounting plate 114, the mounting plate 114 is located on one side of the chassis 101, each wheel 119 is located on both sides of the bottom plate 117, the support seat 118 is located below the bottom plate 117, and the bottom plate 117 is located below the body 109.

Driven by the motor 105, the corresponding side curtain frame 104 and the steel wires on the frame are driven. The ropes allow for the expansion and contraction of the curtain. During vehicle operation, the two electric telescopic rods 115 need to be activated to eject the corresponding guide plates 116 from the inside of the mounting plate 114. Together with the top plate 111 on the body 109, they form a drag-reducing system to reduce wind friction. When the guide plates 116 are opened, they generate downward and lateral airflow. On the one hand, this increases friction with the ground and reduces air resistance. On the other hand, it also directly guides the air above the body 109 to the sides of the body 109, preventing the airflow from colliding with the wheels 119 under the bottom plate 117 and reducing the power required by the wheels 119.

[0025] In this embodiment, the top plate 111 has multiple grooves above it for rainwater and flowing air to pass through, reducing friction on the top of the compartment 109 and reducing energy consumption. The fixing rods 110 on both sides of the compartment 109 mainly serve to protect transported goods from falling and support the compartment 109. The two doors 112 are common semi-trailer doors on the market, which rotate via the corresponding pivot 113. The inner side of the mounting plate 114 has a groove for placing the guide plate 116, and the guide plate 116 is rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting plate 114. After the electric telescopic rod 115 is started, it also remains rotatably connected to the corresponding mounting plate 114. It should be noted that the side curtain frame 104, the side frame 103, and the corresponding motor 105 in this application are all existing. The side curtain sliding system in the technology is driven by the motor 105, which drives the corresponding side curtain frame 104 and the steel wire rope on the frame, thereby realizing the expansion and contraction of the curtain. During vehicle operation, the two electric telescopic rods 115 need to be activated to pop out the corresponding deflector 116 from the inside of the mounting plate 114. Together with the top plate 111 on the body 109, they form a drag reduction system to reduce wind friction. When the deflector 116 is opened, it generates downward and lateral airflow. On the one hand, it increases friction with the ground and reduces air resistance. On the other hand, it also directly guides the air above the body 109 to the sides of the body 109, avoiding airflow from colliding with the wheels 119 under the bottom plate 117 and reducing the power required by the wheels 119.

[0026] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
