Detailed Implementation

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this utility model and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5The washing water bottle shown includes a washing water bottle body 1, a snap-fit ​​part 2, a plug-in part 3, and a connecting part 4. One of the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the plug-in part 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the washing water bottle body 1. The other of the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the plug-in part 3 and the connecting part 4 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the washing water bottle body 1, respectively. The washing water bottle body 1 forms a glass washing liquid receiving cavity. The snap-fit ​​part 2 is used to snap into a snap-fit ​​hole 801 on a vehicle. The plug-in part 3 is used to plug into a plug-in hole 901 on a vehicle. The connecting part 4 is used to fixally connect to vehicle parts by means of fasteners.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, a snap-fit ​​part 2 and a plug-in part 3 are provided on the wash water reservoir, and a single connecting part 4 is sufficient to ensure the stable installation of the wash water reservoir. The snap-fit ​​part 2 and the plug-in part 3 are convenient to install. This reduces the installation difficulty of the wash water reservoir while ensuring its stable installation, thus improving installation efficiency. Furthermore, by providing the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the plug-in part 3, the number of fasteners used can be reduced, contributing to the vehicle's lightweight design.

[0030] In the above technical solution, by reasonably arranging the relative positions of the snap-fit ​​part 2, the plug-in part 3 and the connecting part 4, it is helpful to realize the smooth assembly between the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the snap-fit ​​hole 801 on the vehicle and between the plug-in part 3 and the plug-in hole 901 on the vehicle, which provides a basis for reducing the installation difficulty by setting the snap-fit ​​part 2 and the plug-in part 3 on the wash water bottle.

[0031] As a preferred example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 2 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the washing kettle body 1, the plug-in part 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the washing kettle body 1, and the connecting part 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the washing kettle body 1.

[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 2 includes a base 201 with a support surface 202 on its lower side and a snap hook extending downward from the support surface 202. The support surface 202 is used to support the vehicle downward. Using the above technical solution, the support surface 202 of the base 201 supports the vehicle components, which provide support for the wash water bottle. The snap hook engages with the snap-fit ​​hole 801 on the vehicle components, thus fixing the wash water bottle to the vehicle components.

[0033] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the hook includes a hook body 203 extending downward from the support surface 202 and a hook portion 204 disposed at the lower end of the hook body 203. The hook portion 204 extends forward from the hook body 203, and the rear side of the hook body 203 is inclined backward from bottom to top. By adopting the above technical solution and reasonably setting the structure of the hook, the rear side of the hook body 203 is set as an inclined surface 205 that is inclined backward from bottom to top, which can form a clearance space and provide convenience for the installation of the washing kettle.

[0034] More specifically, due to the aforementioned clearance space, when installing the washing kettle, the lower part of the hook can be inserted into the engagement hole 801 first, and then the washing kettle can be rotated so that the hook engages with the edge of the engagement hole 801, achieving engagement between the hook and the engagement hole 801. During the rotation of the washing kettle, the clearance space prevents interference between the rear side of the hook and the edge of the engagement hole 801. By rotating the washing kettle, the insertion part 3 extending rearward from the washing kettle body 1 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion hole 901. In other words, setting the rear side of the hook body 203 as a slope 205 that slopes backward from bottom to top helps to smoothly insert the insertion part 3 into the insertion hole 901. Moreover, since the hook can engage with the edge of the engagement hole 801 by rotating the washing kettle, the requirement for the elastic deformation capacity of the hook is reduced, allowing the hook to be made larger, resulting in greater strength and rigidity.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the plug portion 3 extends rearward from the washing kettle body 1. Using the above-described technical solution, the plug portion 3 extending rearward from the washing kettle body 1 can be easily inserted into the plug hole 901.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the rear end of the plug-in part 3 is provided with a guide end 302 for guiding the plug-in part 3 into the plug-in hole 901. The width of the guide end 302 gradually decreases from front to back in the vertical direction. By adopting the above technical solution and providing the guide end 302, the difficulty of smoothly inserting the plug-in part 3 into the plug-in hole 901 can be reduced.

[0037] As a preferred example, the upper edge of the guide end 302 is inclined downward from front to back. During the assembly of the washing kettle, when the washing kettle is rotated, the upper edge of the guide end 302, which is inclined downward from front to back, can avoid the upper edge of the insertion hole 901, so that the insertion part 3 can be inserted into the insertion hole 901 more smoothly.

[0038] As a preferred example, the plug part 3 includes a plug part body 301 whose front end is connected to the washing kettle body 1, and a guide end 302 connected to the rear side of the plug part body 301. In order to reduce the difficulty of plugging the plug part 3 into the plug hole 901, the plug part body 301 can also be configured to have a structure in which the width in the vertical direction gradually decreases from front to back.

[0039] As a preferred example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connector 3 is located at the upper part of the rear end of the wash water tank body 1. The connector 3 is used to limit the position of the upper part of the rear end of the wash water tank body 1, ensuring that the wash water tank can be stably installed on the vehicle body.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the connecting part 4 extends forward from the wash bottle body 1, and the connecting part 4 is provided with a strip-shaped connecting hole 402 extending in the front-rear direction. The strip-shaped connecting hole 402 is used to mate with fasteners. The length of the strip-shaped connecting hole 402 extending in the front-rear direction helps to reduce the difficulty of matching the strip-shaped connecting hole 402 with the mounting holes on vehicle parts.

[0041] In a specific implementation, the connecting part 4 includes a connecting plate 401 and two flanges 403. The rear end of the connecting plate 401 is connected to the washing pot body. The two flanges 403 extend downward from the left and right edges of the connecting plate 401, respectively. A strip-shaped connecting hole 402 is provided on the connecting plate 401, penetrating the connecting plate 401 in the vertical direction. The two flanges 403 enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the connecting part 4.

[0042] In some embodiments, the washing kettle body 1 is provided with an inwardly recessed portion 101, which forms a receiving space suitable for accommodating the washing water pump 5. By adopting the above technical solution, the recessed portion 101 can improve the structural strength of the washing kettle body 1 and also provide a receiving space for the washing water pump 5.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a washing water pump 5 is installed on the washing kettle body 1. The washing water pump 5 is a dual-outlet pump. Using the above technical solution, employing a dual-outlet pump as the washing water pump 5 reduces the number of parts in the washing kettle, improves the assembly efficiency of the washing kettle, and reduces the space requirement for the washing water pump 5. Obviously, existing products on the market can be directly used for the dual-outlet pump; the specific structure of the dual-outlet pump will not be described in detail here.

[0044] In practice, the two outlets of the washing water pump 5 are respectively connected to a first water pipe 6 and a second water pipe 7. The first water pipe 6 is used to deliver glass washing liquid to the glass washing liquid nozzle at the front windshield of the vehicle, and the second water pipe 7 is used to deliver glass washing liquid to the glass washing liquid nozzle at the rear windshield of the vehicle.

[0045] In practical implementation, the snap-fit ​​part 2, the plug-in part 3 and the connecting part 4 can be fixedly connected to the outside of the washing kettle body 1 by integral injection molding, which is easy to implement.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model also proposes a vehicle, including a first bracket 8, a second bracket 9, a third bracket 10, and a washing water bottle as described in any one of the above. The first bracket 8 is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole 801, the second bracket 9 is provided with a plug-in hole 901, and the third bracket 10 is provided with a mounting hole. The snap-fit ​​part 2 snaps into the snap-fit ​​hole 801, the plug-in part 3 plugs into the plug-in hole 901, and the connecting part 4 is fixedly connected to the third bracket 10 by a fastener that mates with the mounting hole. By adopting the above technical solution, the washing water bottle is fixedly installed on the vehicle body through the snap-fit ​​structure, the plug-in structure, and the fastener connection structure, reducing the installation difficulty of the washing water bottle while ensuring its stable installation.

[0047] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the difficulty of installing the washing kettle, the first bracket 8 is located on the lower side of the washing kettle body 1, the second bracket 9 is located on the rear side of the washing kettle body 1, the third bracket 10 is located on the front side of the washing kettle body 1, and the connecting part 4 is located below the third bracket 10.

[0048] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​hole 801 on the first bracket 8 and the insertion hole 901 on the second bracket 9 are both flanged holes. The third bracket 10 is provided with a mounting hole, and a nut 11 is welded to the mounting hole. The bolt 12 passes through the strip-shaped connecting hole 402 and the mounting hole and is connected to the nut 11 to fasten the third bracket 10 and the connecting part 4 together.

[0049] In practice, the first bracket 8, the second bracket 9, and the third bracket 10 are all vehicle components, and the first bracket 8, the second bracket 9, and the third bracket 10 can be metal brackets fixedly connected to the vehicle body.
