[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a car rear spoiler, including a car rear spoiler drainage structure, a hinge assembly 4, a support 41 and a drive mechanism 7, wherein the drive mechanism 7 is located in the placement cavity and installed in the middle of the base 1, the drive mechanism 7 drives the hinge assembly 4, the hinge assembly 4 is installed on the base 1 through the support 41, and the base 1 is used to fix and connect to the inner panel of the car's tailgate.

[0029] Please combine Figure 3The drainage structure for a car rear spoiler of this utility model includes a base 1, a decorative panel 3, and a water collection box 2. The decorative panel 3 covers the base 1 and is fixedly connected to the base 1, forming a placement cavity between the decorative panel 3 and the base 1. The decorative panel 3 has a mounting hole for the hinge assembly 4 of the car rear spoiler to pass through. The water collection box 2 is disposed in the placement cavity, and the opening of the water collection box 2 is located below the mounting hole. Understandably, when liquid drips onto the surface of the decorative panel 3, it can flow along the surface of the decorative panel 3 into the water collection box 2 through the mounting hole, preventing water or other liquids from leaking into the drive mechanism 7, preventing corrosion or damage to internal components, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the car rear spoiler. Furthermore, it is aesthetically pleasing. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive mechanism 7 of the car rear spoiler can be a motor or transmission mechanism, which are conventional technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] Please see Figure 4 Optionally, there are two water collection boxes 2 and two supports 41. The two water collection boxes 2 are located on the same side of the base 1 and are fixed to opposite ends of the base 1 respectively. Specifically, the water collection boxes 2 are pre-fixed to the base 1 by welding, adhesive bonding, snap-fitting, or fastener connection, or the water collection boxes 2 and the base 1 are integrally formed. During installation, first, the hinge assembly 4 of the car rear spoiler is connected to the base 1 through the support 41. Then, the decorative panel 3 is fixed to the base 1, with the decorative panel 3 located on the side of the hinge assembly 4 away from the base 1. Finally, the base 1 is installed to the inner panel of the tailgate. By pre-fixing the water collection boxes 2 to the base 1, the hinge assembly 4 does not need to pass through the decorative panel 3 during the installation of the hinge assembly 4 to the base 1, simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency. It is understood that at least one of the following connection methods can be used between the support 41, the base 1, and the decorative panel 3: fastener connection, snap-fitting, adhesive bonding, and welding.

[0031] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the water collection box 2 includes a base plate 21 and a side plate 22. The base plate 21 is fixedly connected to the base 1. Specifically, the base plate 21 is sandwiched between the support 41 and the base 1, and the side plate 22 surrounds the edge of the base plate 21. Optionally, the base plate 21 is generally rectangular, circular, or polygonal in shape, and the base plate 21 is bent and extended from its edge to form the side plate 22.

[0032] Furthermore, the base plate 21 has a drainage hole 214, and the base 1 has a through hole communicating with the drainage hole 214. Water flows from the mounting hole into the water collection box 2 along the surface of the decorative panel 3, and is guided to a preset area through the drainage hole 214 of the base plate 21 and the through hole of the base 1 in sequence, flows through the preset area, and is discharged to the outside of the vehicle. It can be understood that the electric tail wing of this utility model may also include a drainage pipe, which is connected to the drainage hole 214 and fixed to the bottom of the base 1, and guides water to the preset area through the drainage pipe.

[0033] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In a specific example provided in this embodiment, the side plate 22 is at least partially inclined in a direction away from the bottom plate 21, and the decorative plate 3 around the mounting hole has a diversion plate 31 extending in a direction close to the bottom plate 21. The diversion plate 31 extends in a position close to the center of the mounting hole, so that the orthographic projection formed by the diversion plate 31 is located in the area enclosed by the diversion plate 31, for guiding water to the bottom plate 21.

[0034] In one example, the bottom of the diversion plate 31 has a downwardly extending guide plate 32 for guiding water flow downwards. In this example, the top of the side plate 22 has an upwardly extending baffle 221, and the top of the baffle 221 is higher than the bottom of the guide plate 32 in the horizontal plane, so that the guide plate 32 at least partially extends into the water collection box 2, thereby preventing water on the surface of the decorative plate 3 from flowing out from the gap between the decorative plate 3 and the water collection box 2. Optionally, there is a gap between the guide plate 32 and the baffle 221 to reduce the difficulty of installation and facilitate installation.

[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one example, the support 41 includes a fixed plate 411 and two connecting plates 412, which are located on the same side of the fixed plate 411. Optionally, the fixed plate 411 is bent upward from its opposite ends to form two connecting plates 412. The hinge assembly 4 of the car rear spoiler is connected to the connecting plates 412 and mounted to the base 1 via the fixed plates 411.

[0036] In one example, the fixing plate 411 of the support 41, the bottom plate 21 of the water collection box 2, and the base 1 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole, a second mounting hole, and a third mounting hole that communicate with each other. In this example, the drainage structure of the automobile rear spoiler of this utility model also includes a fastening component 5. The support 41 is fixed to the water collection box 2 by the fastening component 5, so that the water collection box 2 is sandwiched between the support 41 and the base 1. Specifically, the fastening component 5 includes a first fastener 51 and a second fastener 52. The first fastener 51 passes through the support 41, the water collection box 2, and the base 1 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the second fastener 52, so that the support 41 and the base 1 are in a relatively fixed state, thereby facilitating installation.

[0037] Optionally, the first fastener 51 is a pin, and the second fastener 52 is a connecting block. The connecting block is fixed to the side of the base 1 away from the water collection box 2 by welding. The connecting block has a through hole through which the pin passes and is press-fitted with the connecting block. In another example of this invention, the first fastener 51 can also be a bolt, and the second fastener 52 can be a nut. In this example, one of the bolt and nut is pre-fixed to the support 41 or the base 1 by welding for easy installation. The bolt passes through the mounting hole and is threadedly connected to the nut, fixing the support 41 to the base 1.

[0038] In one example, the water collection box 2 is made of at least one material, either plastic or metal. Optionally, the water collection box 2 is made of plastic, which helps to reduce weight. A reinforcing plate 211, made of metal, is embedded in the base plate 21. The reinforcing plate 211 is sandwiched between the hinge assembly 4 and the base 1. A second mounting hole is formed in the reinforcing plate 211. The reinforcing plate 211 can prevent the water collection box 2 from cracking due to stress concentration at the connection, improve the strength and rigidity of the connection, and thus improve the structural strength and connection reliability of the water collection box 2. In addition, the reinforcing plate 211 is pre-embedded in the base plate 21 of the water collection box 2, which simplifies the installation process and helps to ensure installation accuracy.

[0039] In one example, the reinforcing plate 211 may optionally have a limiting flange 212 (see...) Figure 3 Optionally, the reinforcing plate 211 is also provided with several limiting grooves 213 (see...). Figure 5 The base plate 21 has a limiting protrusion located in the corresponding limiting groove 213. It should be noted that the positions of the limiting groove 213 and the limiting protrusion can be interchanged. Specifically, the reinforcing plate 211 extends from its edge to form a limiting flange 212 and a limiting groove 213, which are used to increase the contact area between the reinforcing plate 211 and the base plate 21, improve the connection strength between the reinforcing plate 211 and the base plate 21 in the connection area, and, through the limiting flange 212 and the limiting groove 213, the reinforcing plate 211 and the water collection box 2 can form an interlocking structure, thereby limiting the relative position between the reinforcing plate 211 and the base plate 21, preventing the reinforcing plate 211 from sliding or falling off, thereby improving the connection strength and connection reliability between the reinforcing plate 211 and the water collection box 2.

[0040] The electric tail wing of this utility model also includes a buffer pad 6, which is located at the bottom of the base 1, i.e., on the side of the base 1 away from the water collection box 2. The buffer pad 6 can be made of materials such as rubber or foam. In one example, the buffer pad 6 is used to sandwich between the base 1 and the inner panel of the tailgate. Specifically, the buffer pad 6 has a first receiving groove 61 and a second receiving groove 62 that are interconnected. The buffer pad 6 has a second receiving groove 62 that accommodates a second fastener 52. The bottom of the second receiving groove 62 has a first receiving groove 61 that communicates with the second receiving groove 62, which is used to avoid the part of the first fastener 51 that extends beyond the second fastener 52. The first receiving groove 61 and the second receiving groove 62 are respectively used to avoid the first fastener 51 and the second fastener 52. When the car is hit by a collision or impact while driving, the buffer pad 6 can absorb and disperse the collision energy and impact force, thereby reducing vibration.

[0041] Furthermore, the thickness of the buffer pad 6 is greater than the thickness of the second fastener 52, and the first fastener 51 does not extend beyond the surface of the buffer away from the base 1, thereby preventing the first fastener 51 and the second fastener 52 from contacting the inner panel of the back door, preventing noise caused by vibration, and ensuring installation stability and reliability.

[0042] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
