[0002] To improve a vehicle's aerodynamic performance, aerodynamic components are typically installed at the front end. These components are usually mounted to the front bumper beam using bolts. However, due to the structure of the bumper beam and the need for airflow, an access port needs to be created on the aerodynamic component. Bolts are then inserted into the access port and used to secure it to the bumper beam. Finally, a cover is used to seal the access port. However, the design of the cover requires an additional mold for its production, significantly increasing the manufacturing cost of the aerodynamic component. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model provides a vehicle airflow structure and a vehicle to solve the technical problems of high cost and low airflow performance in the maintenance structure of aerodynamic components in the prior art.

[0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a vehicle air guide structure, including a first air guide component and a second air guide component connected to the first air guide component;

[0005] The first air guide is provided with an installation part, and the second air guide is provided with an inspection port at a position opposite to the installation part. The vehicle air guide structure also includes a cover plate, which is rotatably connected to the second air guide and is used to close or open the inspection port. The cover plate and the second air guide are integrally formed structural components, and the cover plate is rotatably connected to the second air guide and is used to close or open the inspection port.

[0007] Optionally, the first air guide is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the second air guide is provided with a snap-fit ​​part. The first air guide is connected to the second air guide by snapping the snap-fit ​​part in the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0008] Optionally, the first air guide includes an outer air guide and an inner support arm connecting the outer air guide, the snap-fit ​​groove is disposed between the outer air guide and the inner support arm, and the mounting part is disposed on the outer air guide.

[0009] Optionally, the inner support arm is provided with a plug hole, and the cover plate is provided with a plug part; the plug part is used to be inserted into the plug hole when the cover plate closes the inspection port.

[0010] Optionally, the inner support arm is also provided with an opening, and there are two insertion holes and two insertion parts.

[0024] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a vehicle air guide structure, including a first air guide 1 and a second air guide 2 connected to the first air guide 1. The hardness of the first air guide 1 is greater than that of the second air guide 2. Preferably, the hardness of the first air guide 1 is greater than that of the second air guide 2. The first air guide 1 is made of hard rubber, and the second air guide 2 is made of soft rubber. The higher hardness of the first air guide 1 ensures the stability of the first air guide 1 when installed on the vehicle body.

[0026] The first air guide 1 is provided with a mounting part 11, and the second air guide 2 is provided with an inspection port 21 opposite to the mounting part 11. The vehicle air guide structure also includes a cover plate 3, which is integrally formed with the second air guide 2. The cover plate 3 is rotatably connected to the second air guide 2 and is used to close or open the inspection port 21. It can be understood that the cover plate 3 and the second air guide 2 can be rotatably connected by creases; the mounting part 11 includes, but is not limited to, mounting through holes, etc., and the mounting part 11 is located behind the inspection port 21; the second air guide 2 has low rigidity, which facilitates the rotatable installation of the cover plate 3 on the second air guide 2.

[0027] In this utility model, the first air guide 1 is provided with an installation part 11, and the second air guide 2 is provided with an inspection port 21 at a position opposite to the installation part 11. The vehicle air guide structure also includes a cover plate 3, which is integrally formed with the second air guide 2. The cover plate 3 is rotatably connected to the second air guide 2 and is used to close or open the inspection port 21. When the cover plate 3 is in the open state of the inspection port 21, tools such as screwdrivers can pass through the inspection port 21 and fix the installation part 11 to the vehicle body. When the installation part 11 is fixed to the vehicle body and the tools 10 are removed, the cover plate 3 closes the inspection port 21. In this invention, since the cover plate 3 and the second air guide 2 are integrally formed structural components, the cover plate 3 can be formed from the second air guide 2 by cutting. The cover plate 3 and the second air guide 2 can be rotatably connected through folds, eliminating the need to design a separate manufacturing mold for the cover plate 3. This results in fewer parts in the vehicle's air guide structure, reducing manufacturing, assembly, and management costs. Furthermore, since the surface of the cover plate 3 is a smooth plane, the cover plate 3 ensures that the air guiding surface of the second air guide 2 is smooth, guaranteeing the air guiding performance of the vehicle's air guide structure.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air guide 1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 13, and the second air guide 2 is provided with a snap-fit ​​portion 22. The first air guide 1 is connected to the second air guide 2 by snapping into the snap-fit ​​portion 22 in the snap-fit ​​groove 13. It can be understood that the snap-fit ​​groove 13 can be a C-shaped groove, and the snap-fit ​​groove 13 can enclose the snap-fit ​​portion 22. The first air guide 1 and the second air guide 2 can be manufactured in the same mold through injection molding. In this embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion 22 of the second air guide 2 snaps into the snap-fit ​​groove 13 of the first air guide 1, ensuring a smooth connection between the first air guide 1 and the second air guide 2.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air guide 1 includes an outer air guide 14 and an inner support arm 15 connecting the outer air guide 14. The snap-fit ​​groove 13 is disposed between the outer air guide 14 and the inner support arm 15, and the mounting part 11 is disposed on the outer air guide 14. It can be understood that the outer air guide 14 and the inner support arm 15 are integrally formed parts. The snap-fit ​​groove 13 and the inner support arm 15 are both located inside the outer air guide 14 and the second air guide 2, thereby allowing the outer air guide 14 and the second air guide 2 to conceal the mounting part 11, the snap-fit ​​part 22, the snap-fit ​​groove 13, etc., ensuring the aesthetics of the vehicle's air guide structure.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner support arm 15 is provided with a insertion hole 12, and the cover plate 3 is provided with an insertion part 31. The insertion part 31 is used to insert into the insertion hole 12 when the cover plate 3 covers the inspection port 21. It can be understood that the insertion hole 12 includes, but is not limited to, insertion posts, etc. Since the first air guide 1 and the second air guide 2 are both flexible parts, during the process of the insertion part 31 being inserted into the insertion hole 12, both the insertion part 31 and the insertion hole 12 will undergo elastic deformation, so that the insertion part 31 can pass smoothly through the insertion hole 12. After the insertion part 31 is inserted into the insertion hole 12, the insertion part 31 will return to its original shape, thereby ensuring the stability of the insertion part 31 in the insertion hole 12, that is, ensuring the stability of the cover plate 3 covering the inspection port 21.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner support arm 15 is also provided with an opening 151. Two insertion holes 12 and two insertion parts 31 are provided, with the two insertion holes 12 located on opposite sides of the opening 151. When the cover plate 3 closes the inspection port 21, the insertion parts 31 are inserted into the insertion holes 12 one-to-one. It can be understood that the two insertion holes 12 are located on the left and right sides of the opening 151, respectively, allowing the tool 10 to pass through the inspection port 21 and the opening 151 to reach the mounting part 11. In this embodiment, the two insertion parts 31 are inserted into the two insertion holes 12 one-to-one, ensuring the stability of the cover plate 3 when closing the inspection port 21.

[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the outer air guide 14 has a first air guide surface 16 on the side opposite to the inner support arm 15, and the second air guide 2 has a second air guide surface 23 tangent to the first air guide surface 16. It can be understood that the first air guide surface 16 is the outer surface of the first air guide 1, and the second air guide 2 is the outer surface of the second air guide 2; during vehicle operation, airflow can pass along the first air guide surface 16 and the second air guide surface 23. In this embodiment, the first air guide surface 16 and the second air guide surface 23 are tangent, thus forming a smooth air guide surface, ensuring the air guiding performance of the vehicle's air guiding structure.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the cover plate 3 closes the inspection port 21, a gap 4 is provided between the inner wall of the inspection port 21 and the cover plate 3, and the width of the gap 4 is 0.1mm to 0.3mm. Preferably, the width of the gap 4 is 0.2mm. It can be understood that the cover plate 3 is a square cover plate 3, and the inspection port 21 is a square through hole; one side of the cover plate 3 is rotatably connected to one side wall of the inspection port 21, and the gap 4 is provided between the other three sides of the cover plate 3 and the other three side walls of the inspection port 21. In this embodiment, the design of the gap 4 allows the second air guide 2 to undergo slight deformation along the middle of the inspection port 21, while the gap 4 is still maintained between the cover plate 3 and the side wall of the inspection port 21, thus allowing the cover plate 3 to close the inspection port 21, ensuring the stability of the cover plate 3 when opening or closing the inspection port 21.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 11 is a mounting through hole. Understandably, screws, bolts, etc. pass through the mounting through hole and are fixedly connected to the vehicle body, thereby ensuring the stability of the first air guide 1 mounted on the vehicle body.

[0035] Another embodiment of this utility model also provides a vehicle, including the above-described vehicle air guide structure.

[0036] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
