[0055] Some embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. Various changes, modifications, and equivalents of the methods, apparatus, and / or systems described herein will become apparent upon understanding this disclosure. For example, the order of operations described herein is merely illustrative and is not limited to those orders set forth herein, but can be changed as will become apparent upon understanding this disclosure, except for operations that must be performed in a particular order. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of features known in the art may be omitted.

[0056] The embodiments described in the following examples of this disclosure are not representative of all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0057] See Figure 1 This illustration, representatively showing a schematic diagram of a bumper conforming to the design principles of this disclosure in one exemplary embodiment, specifically shows the structure of the left end of the bumper body 100, namely, a first portion and a second portion on the left side of the bumper body 100. In this exemplary embodiment, the bumper proposed in this disclosure is illustrated using a vehicle's rear bumper as an example. It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, additions, substitutions, deletions, or other changes may be made to the specific embodiments described below to apply the relevant designs of this disclosure to other types of bumpers, such as front bumpers, etc., and these changes remain within the scope of the principles of the bumper proposed in this disclosure.

[0058] See also Figures 2 to 9 , Figure 2 China representatively shows Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of the bumper from another perspective, specifically showing the view of the inside of the bumper (i.e., the side facing the vehicle). Figure 3 and Figure 4The diagrams show representative exploded views of the bumper from two different perspectives. Figure 5 and Figure 6 The diagrams show representative structural schematics of the bumper body 100 from two different perspectives. Figure 7 An enlarged schematic diagram of the first support 210 is shown in the figure. Figure 8 An enlarged schematic diagram of the second support 220 is shown in the figure. Figure 9 An enlarged schematic diagram of the cover plate 300 is shown in the figure. The structure, connection method, and functional relationship of the main components of the bumper disclosed herein will be described in detail below with reference to the above-mentioned figures.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the bumper includes a bumper body 100 and an air duct support structure 200. The bumper body 100 has a first air vent 101. The bumper body 100 has a first surface 103 and a second surface 104 opposite to the first surface 103, and the first air vent 101 connects the first surface 103 and the second surface 104. One end of the air duct support structure 200 is close to the first air vent 101, and the other end of the air duct support structure 200 extends away from the first surface of the bumper body 100; in other words, the other end of the air duct support structure 200 extends to the inner side of the bumper body 100, i.e., the side facing the vehicle. The first air duct 201 is at least constituted by the air duct support structure 200. Through the above structural design, this disclosure utilizes the air duct support structure 200 to form at least a portion of the first air duct 201, which facilitates the discharge of airflow through the first air duct 201. Furthermore, since the first air passage 201 is arranged using a relatively independent air passage support structure 200, this disclosure can achieve more air passage layout forms with different structural forms through the separate design and processing of the air passage support structure 200, meet the higher requirements for the rear air passage, improve the aerodynamic layout of the whole vehicle, reduce wind resistance and wind noise, and also improve the appearance.

[0060] It should be noted that the directional descriptions of "front" and "rear" mentioned in the various embodiments of this specification refer to the front and rear directions of the vehicle when the bumper is installed on the vehicle, and the "inner side" of the bumper body 100 refers to the side facing the vehicle. Specifically, taking the rear bumper as an example, when the bumper is installed on the vehicle, it is not only located at the rear of the vehicle, but also partially located on the left and right sides of the vehicle. That is, the bumper has a rear part located at the rear of the vehicle and a left and right part located on the left and right sides of the vehicle. In other words, the shape of the bumper from a top-down view is roughly "U". For ease of description and understanding, the aforementioned left and right parts are described below as the first part extending along the length direction of the vehicle, and the aforementioned rear part is described as the second part extending along the width direction of the vehicle. The first air vent 101 is provided in the first part of the bumper body 100, that is, in the second part of the bumper body 100.

[0061] It should be understood that Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 The directions "front", "rear", "left" and "right" are schematically marked in the figure. Of course, in various possible implementations that conform to the design concept of this disclosure, the specific direction of the above directions is not limited to the direction shown in the figure. They may vary depending on the shape of the bumper and the rear of the vehicle to which they are adapted, but none of them exceed the scope of the principles of this disclosure.

[0062] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first air passage 201 can be formed by an air passage support structure 200. Through the above structural design, this disclosure eliminates the need for the bumper body 100 to have a structure for mounting the air passage support structure 200, and eliminates the need for the bumper body 100 to have additional structures directly involved in the formation of the first air passage 201, such as channels. This further simplifies the bumper structure and reduces its processing difficulty. In other embodiments of this disclosure, the first air passage 201 can also be formed by the bumper body 100 and the air passage support structure 200 together. For example, the first air passage 201 can be formed by the bumper body 100 and the air passage support structure 200 together, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0063] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the first air passage 201 can extend along the extension direction of the air passage support structure 200. In other words, one port of the first air passage 201 is arranged generally forward (e.g., towards the rear wheel arch or rear wheel), that is, this port can serve as the air inlet of the first air passage 201, supplying airflow into the first air passage 201 when the vehicle is in motion. The other port of the first air passage 201 is located at the first air outlet 101, that is, this port can serve as the air outlet of the first air passage 201, supplying airflow out of the first air passage 201 when the vehicle is in motion. Furthermore, when the bumper proposed in this disclosure is the front bumper of a vehicle, the port of the first air passage 201 that serves as the air inlet is arranged generally forward (e.g., away from the front wheel arch or front wheel), and the port that serves as the air outlet is arranged generally rearward (e.g., towards the front wheel arch or front wheel).

[0064] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the airway support structure 200 is detachably connected to the bumper body 100. For example, with 3 and Figure 4 Taking the illustrated embodiment as an example, the first bracket 210 of the airway support structure 200 is detachably connected to the bumper body 100, and since the second bracket 220 is connected to the first bracket 210, it is equivalent to the airway support structure 200 being detachably connected to the bumper body 100. Through the above structural design, this disclosure enables the disassembly of the airway support structure 200 from the bumper body 100, which facilitates the separate design and processing of the airway support structure 200, especially the first airway 201 it forms. Furthermore, the airway support structure 200 can be removed separately when maintenance or replacement is required, thus reducing maintenance costs. Figures 2 to 4As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the airway support structure 200 may include a first support 210 and a second support 220. The first support 210 and the second support 220 may cooperate to form at least a portion of the first airway 201. For example, the first support 210 is disposed on the inner side of the bumper body 100 (e.g., the second surface 104 of the first portion). The second support 220 is detachably connected to the first support 210, and the first support 210 and the second support 220 are arranged along the left-right direction of the bumper (i.e., the width direction of the vehicle). For example, for an airway support structure 200 disposed on the inner left side of the bumper (e.g., the second surface 104 of the first portion on the left side of the vehicle), its second support 220 is located to the right of the first support 210; or, for an airway support structure 200 disposed on the inner right side of the bumper (e.g., the second surface 104 of the first portion on the right side of the vehicle), its second support 220 is located to the left of the first support 210. Based on this, at least one of the opposite sides of the first support 210 and the second support 220 is provided with a channel, and the channel is used to form the first air passage 201. For example, the opposite sides of the first support 210 and the second support 220 can each be provided with a channel, and the channels of the first support 210 and the second support 220 are arranged correspondingly. When the first support 210 and the second support 220 are assembled, their channels together form a channel structure, which is the first air passage 201. Alternatively, if the side of the first support 210 facing the second support 220 is provided with a channel, and the second support 220 is not provided with a channel, then the channel of the first support 210 and the second support 220 together form the first air passage 201. Yet another example: if the side of the second support 220 facing the first support 210 is provided with a channel, and the first support 210 is not provided with a channel, then the channel of the second support 220 and the first support 210 together form the first air passage 201. Through the above structural design, the airway support structure 200 of this disclosure adopts a split structure, and the first support 210 and the second support 220 are used together to form the first airway 201. Accordingly, it is convenient to process and form the first airway 201, and more airway layout forms with different structural shapes can be realized.

[0065] like Figures 2 to 9As shown, based on the structural design of the air duct support structure 200, which includes a first support 210 and a second support 220, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the bumper body 100 includes a first portion extending along the length direction of the vehicle and a second portion extending along the width direction of the vehicle. The first side of the first support 210 has an air duct configuration area, which is opposite to the first portion. Based on this, the air duct configuration area may include a planar area 2101, and the second support 220 (e.g., the side of the second support 220 facing the first support 210) may be provided with a groove 2201, which, together with the planar area 2101, forms at least a portion of the first air duct 201. Through the above structural design, this disclosure provides the groove 2201 only on the second support 220, avoiding an increase in the thickness of the first support 210 due to the groove, and avoiding impact on the arrangement space of other vehicle structures.

[0066] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the projected pattern of the second bracket 220 facing the first bracket 210 can be entirely located within the outer contour range of the projected pattern of the first bracket 210 facing the second bracket 220. That is, the area of ​​the first bracket 210 is larger than the area of ​​the second bracket 220, and the arrangement area of ​​the first bracket 210 covers the second bracket 220. Through the above structural design, since the second bracket 220 is smaller than the first bracket 210, the increased thickness caused by the groove 2201 has a smaller impact on the space occupation. Accordingly, this disclosure can reduce the space occupation of the air duct bracket structure 200 inside the bumper body 100 (i.e., the space occupation on the second surface 104 side of the first part).

[0067] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The illustrated embodiment uses the example of a first airway 201 formed by the planar region 2101 of the first support 210 and the channel 2201 of the second support 220. In various possible embodiments conforming to the design concept of this disclosure, the channel 2201 may also be provided on the first support 210 or separately on the two supports. For example, the airway configuration area of ​​the first support 210 may have a channel, and the side of the second support 220 facing the first support 210 may include a planar region; the channel in the first support 210 and the planar region of the second support 220 together form at least a portion of the first airway 201. Alternatively, the airway configuration area of ​​the first support 210 and the side of the second support 220 facing the first support 210 may each have a channel; the two channels respectively provided in the first support 210 (airway configuration area) and the second support 220 together form at least a portion of the first airway 201.

[0068] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, based on the structural design of the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220 being detachably connected, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the first bracket 210 is fixedly installed on the bumper body 100. In this configuration, the first bracket 210 has a first mounting portion 211, and the second bracket 220 has a second mounting portion 221, which are detachably connected. For example, the first bracket 210 may have the first mounting portion 211 on the side facing away from the bumper body 100, and the second bracket 220 may have a second mounting portion 221 arranged corresponding to the position of the first mounting portion 211. The first mounting portion 211 and the second mounting portion 221 are detachably connected, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220. For example, the first assembly part 211 and the second assembly part 221 can be connected by a connector, such as a bolt, rivet, or pin. The first assembly part 211 and the second assembly part 221 are respectively provided with mounting holes arranged in corresponding positions, and the connector mates with the mounting holes provided in the first assembly part 211 and the second assembly part 221. In other embodiments of this disclosure, the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220 can also be detachably connected in other ways, such as snap-fit ​​or plug-in, and are not limited to this embodiment.

[0069] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the structural design of the first assembly part 211 and the second assembly part 221, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the first bracket 210 may be provided with at least two first assembly parts 211, and the at least two first assembly parts 211 are arranged at intervals. Correspondingly, the second bracket 220 may be provided with at least two second assembly parts 221, and the at least two second assembly parts 221 are arranged at intervals, and are respectively arranged corresponding to the at least two first assembly parts 211. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can further optimize the connection stability and reliability of the first bracket 210 and the second bracket 220.

[0070] Based on the structural design of the airway support structure 200, which includes a first support 210, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the first support 210 and the bumper body 100 can be fixedly connected by welding. Furthermore, the welding of the first support 210 and the bumper body 100 can specifically be a combination of through welding and riveting.

[0071] like Figures 1 to 4 , Figure 9As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, a first gap exists between the air duct support structure 200 and the first air outlet 101. Based on this, the bumper proposed in this disclosure may further include a cover plate 300. The cover plate 300 is detachably installed on the bumper body 100, and when installed on the bumper body 100, the cover plate 300 is located within the first gap. The cover plate 300 can shield the gap between the first air outlet 101 and the air duct support structure 200. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can utilize the shielding function of the cover plate 300 to prevent impurities from entering the interior of the bumper body 100 through the first air outlet 101, while simultaneously guiding the airflow exiting from the first air duct 201. For example, part of the cover plate 300 can be designed as a slope, an arc, or a flared shape to further reduce wind noise and wind resistance. In addition, the cover plate 300 can be used as a decorative part with flexible selection of its material, color and other appearance features. For example, it can be designed with a different material (such as carbon fiber, metal, etc.) and color from the bumper body 100 to further enhance the vehicle's aesthetics and meet users' personalized configuration needs for the vehicle's appearance.

[0072] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, based on the structural design of the bumper including the cover plate 300, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the cover plate 300 may be provided with a through hole 301 connecting the rear end of the first air passage 201. For example, when part of the structure of the cover plate 300 adopts a flared design, the flared opening is the aforementioned through hole 301, and the area of ​​the port of the first air passage 201 connecting to the first air outlet 101 is smaller than the area of ​​the first air outlet 101. The flared through hole 301 can realize the transition between the smaller rear port of the first air passage 201 and the larger first air outlet 101.

[0073] like Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 7As shown, based on the structural design of the bumper including the cover plate 300, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the first bracket 210 may be provided with an opening 2102, the position of which corresponds to the position of the first air vent 101. Furthermore, the cover plate 300 may be provided with an extension portion that passes through the opening 2102 and extends towards the side away from the bumper body 100, for example, the extension portion extends through the opening 2102 to the side of the first bracket 210 away from the bumper body 100. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can achieve a more stable connection between the cover plate 300 and the air duct support structure 200 by utilizing the extension portion of the cover plate 300. In other embodiments of this disclosure, when the first bracket 210 is provided with the opening 2102, the cover plate 300 may also be partially located outside the air duct support structure 200. Alternatively, the first bracket 210 may not be provided with the opening 2102, that is, the first bracket 210 may not cover the area of ​​the bumper body 100 where the first air vent 101 is located, and this is not limited to this embodiment.

[0074] Figures 2 to 4 , Figure 7 As shown, based on the structural design of the bumper including the cover plate 300, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the bumper body 100 has a third mounting portion (e.g., the first buckle 1011 and the second buckle 1012 described below), and the extension portion of the cover plate 300 has a fourth mounting portion (e.g., the first buckle 330 and the second buckle 340 described below), and the third mounting portion and the fourth mounting portion are correspondingly provided. The third mounting portion and the fourth mounting portion are detachably connected.

[0075] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, based on the structural design of the bumper including the cover plate 300, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the inner edge of the first air outlet 101 may be provided with a first buckle 1011, and the outer edge of the cover plate 300 may be provided with a first slot 330. The first slot 330 and the first buckle 1011 are arranged correspondingly and engaged, thereby realizing the assembly connection between the cover plate 300 and the first air outlet 101. Furthermore, there may be at least two first buckles 1011 and at least two first slots 330, which are arranged correspondingly, thereby further improving the connection stability and reliability between the cover plate 300 and the first air outlet 101.

[0076] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, based on the structural design of the bumper including the cover plate 300, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the inner edge of the first air vent 101 may be provided with a second slot 1012, and the outer edge of the cover plate 300 may be provided with a second buckle 340. The second buckle 340 is arranged correspondingly to the second slot 1012 and engages with it, thereby realizing the assembly connection between the cover plate 300 and the first air vent 101. Furthermore, there may be at least two second slots 1012 and two buckles 340, and they may be arranged correspondingly, thereby further improving the connection stability and reliability between the cover plate 300 and the first air vent 101.

[0077] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the inner edge of the first air outlet 101 may be simultaneously provided with the aforementioned first snap-fit ​​1011 and second slot 1012, and the outer edge of the cover plate 300 may simultaneously be provided with the aforementioned first slot 330 and second snap-fit ​​340.

Through the above structural design, this disclosure further facilitates the snap-fit ​​assembly of the cover plate 300 with the first snap-fit ​​1011, reducing assembly difficulty.

[0078] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, based on the structural design of the cover plate 300 having an extension extending to the inner side of the first bracket 210 (i.e., the side of the first bracket 210 facing away from the first part of the bumper body 100), in one embodiment of this disclosure, a fifth assembly part 212 may be provided on the inner side of the first bracket 210, and the extension part of the cover plate 300 may include a sixth assembly part 310 arranged corresponding to the position of the fifth assembly part 212. The fifth assembly part 212 and the sixth assembly part 310 are detachably connected, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the cover plate 300 and the first bracket 210. For example, the fifth assembly part 212 and the sixth assembly part 310 can be connected by a connector, such as a bolt, rivet, or pin, and the fifth assembly part 212 and the sixth assembly part 310 are respectively provided with mounting holes arranged corresponding to each other, and the connector mates with the mounting holes provided in the fifth assembly part 212 and the sixth assembly part 310. In other embodiments of this disclosure, the cover plate 300 and the first bracket 210 may also be detachably connected in other ways, such as snap-fit ​​or plug-in, and are not limited to this embodiment.

[0079] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 8 , Figure 9As shown, based on the structural design of the cover plate 300 having an extension extending to the inner side of the first bracket 210 (i.e., the side of the first bracket 210 facing away from the first part of the bumper body 100), in one embodiment of this disclosure, the second bracket 220 may be provided with a seventh assembly part 222, and the extension part of the cover plate 300 may include an eighth assembly part 320 arranged corresponding to the position of the seventh assembly part 222. The seventh assembly part 222 and the eighth assembly part 320 are detachably connected, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the cover plate 300 and the second bracket 220. For example, the seventh assembly part 222 and the eighth assembly part 320 may be connected by a connector, such as a bolt, rivet, or pin, and the seventh assembly part 222 and the eighth assembly part 320 are respectively provided with mounting holes arranged corresponding to each other, and the connector mates with the mounting holes provided in the seventh assembly part 222 and the eighth assembly part 320. In other embodiments of this disclosure, the cover plate 300 and the second bracket 220 may also be detachably connected in other ways, such as snap-fit ​​or plug-in, and are not limited to this embodiment.

[0080] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, based on the structural design of the seventh assembly part 222 and the eighth assembly part 320, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the second bracket 220 may be provided with at least two seventh assembly parts 222, and the at least two seventh assembly parts 222 are arranged at intervals. Correspondingly, the extension portion of the cover plate 300 may include at least two eighth assembly parts 320, and the at least two eighth assembly parts 320 are arranged at intervals, and are respectively arranged corresponding to the at least two seventh assembly parts 222. Through the above structural design, this disclosure can further optimize the connection stability and reliability between the cover plate 300 and the second bracket 220.

[0081] See Figure 10 , Figure 10 The diagram shows a schematic representation of a bumper that embodies the principles of this disclosure in another exemplary embodiment.

[0082] like Figure 10As shown, in one embodiment of this disclosure, the bumper may further include a bumper sub-body 120. A second gap exists between the bumper sub-body 120 and the bumper body 100. This second gap, along with at least a portion of the bumper body 100 and at least a portion of the bumper sub-body 120, together form a second air outlet of a second air duct 102. The second air duct 102 allows airflow to pass through and exit from the second air outlet. Through this structural design, this disclosure achieves a dual-air duct design for the bumper (a single-sided dual-air duct design on the left and / or right ends), meeting higher requirements for the rear air ducts, further improving the aerodynamic layout of the vehicle, and further reducing wind resistance and wind noise. Furthermore, this disclosure avoids placing the air outlets of both the first air duct 101 and the second air duct 102 on the bumper body 100, thereby facilitating flexible arrangement of the two air ducts and their respective air outlets, reducing the structural complexity and processing difficulty of the bumper body 100, and simultaneously improving the vehicle's aesthetics.

[0083] It should be noted that the bumpers shown in the accompanying drawings and described in this specification are merely a few examples among many bumpers to which the principles of this disclosure can be applied. It should be clearly understood that the principles of this disclosure are by no means limited to any detail or component of the bumpers shown in the accompanying drawings or described in this specification.

[0084] Based on the above detailed description of several exemplary embodiments of the bumper proposed in this disclosure, an exemplary embodiment of the vehicle proposed in this disclosure will be described below.

[0085] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the vehicle proposed in this disclosure includes the bumper proposed in this disclosure and included in the exemplary embodiments described above.

[0086] In summary, the bumper disclosed herein includes a bumper body 100, an air duct support structure 200, and a first air duct 201. The bumper body 100 is provided with a first air outlet 101, which connects to a first surface 103 and a second surface 104 opposite to the bumper body 100. One end of the air duct support structure 200 is close to the first air outlet 101, and the other end extends away from the first surface 103. The first air duct 201 is at least constituted by the air duct support structure 200. Through the above structural design, this disclosure utilizes the air duct support structure 200 to form at least a portion of the first air duct 201, which facilitates airflow discharge through the first air duct 201. Furthermore, since the first air duct 201 is arranged using a relatively independent air duct support structure, this disclosure can achieve more air duct layout forms with different structural shapes through the separate design and processing of the air duct support structure 200, meeting higher requirements for the rear bumper air duct, which is beneficial to improving the aerodynamic layout of the entire vehicle, reducing wind resistance and wind noise, and also improving the aesthetic appearance.

[0087] Furthermore, the term “exemplary” is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as advantageous compared to other aspects or designs. Rather, the use of the term “exemplary” is intended to present the concept in a concrete manner. As used herein, the term “or” is intended to mean an inclusive “or” rather than an exclusive “or.” That is, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context, “X applies A or B” is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive arrangements. That is, “X applies A or B” satisfies any of the foregoing instances if X applies A; X applies B; or both X applies A and B. Additionally, unless otherwise specified or clear from the context to refer to the singular form, the articles “a” and “an” as used in this application and the appended claims are generally understood to mean “one or more.”

This disclosure includes all such modifications and variations and is limited only by the scope of the claims. In particular, with respect to the various functions performed by the components described above (e.g., elements, resources, etc.), unless otherwise indicated, the terminology used to describe such components is intended to correspond to any component (functionally equivalent) that performs the specific function of the described component, even if structurally not equivalent to the disclosed structure. Furthermore, although specific features of this disclosure may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such features may be combined with one or more other features of other implementations, as may be desired and advantageous to any given or particular application. Moreover, with regard to the terms “comprising,” “owning,” “having,” “having,” or variations thereof as used in the detailed description or claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term “including.”

[0089] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the invention disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this disclosure are indicated by the following claims.

[0090] It should be understood that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," "fixing," etc., used in the embodiments of this disclosure should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms herein according to the specific circumstances.

[0091] Although terms such as “first” and “second” may be used herein to describe various components, parts, regions, layers, or sections, these components, parts, regions, layers, or sections are not limited to these terms. Rather, these terms are used only to distinguish one component, part, region, layer, or section from another. Therefore, without departing from the teachings of the examples described herein, the first component, part, region, layer, or section mentioned in the examples may also be referred to as the second component, part, region, layer, or section. Furthermore, the terms “first” and “second” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as “first” or “second” may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description herein, “a plurality” means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0092] It should be understood that spatial relative terms, such as “above,” “upper,” “below,” and “lower,” are used herein to describe the relationship between one element and another shown in the figures. In addition to the orientation depicted in the figures, these spatial relative terms are also intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, an element described as “above” or “upper” relative to another element would be “below” or “lower” relative to that other element. Thus, depending on the spatial orientation of the device, the term “above” encompasses both above and below orientations. Devices may have other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative terms used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0093] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited to the precise structures described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this disclosure is limited only by the appended claims.
