[0035] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0036] To address the problems in the prior art, the basic concept of this utility model is to integrate the electrical appliance cover of the windshield into one piece and fasten its opening to the inner side of the windshield.

[0037] Specific embodiment 1 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0038] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 A windshield electrical cover 4 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the windshield 1 of the vehicle. The windshield electrical cover 4 covers the front road condition probe, rain sensor, lane departure camera and other electrical components fixed on the inner side of the windshield 1, so that the above-mentioned electrical components can be arranged in a concentrated manner and play a protective role for the above-mentioned electrical components, while also improving the aesthetics.

[0039] The windshield electrical cover 4 is installed near the lower edge of the windshield 1. On the one hand, it allows the wiring harnesses of various electrical components to be directly gathered downwards into the dashboard 3. On the other hand, it can also use the black area 2 at the edge of the windshield 1 to shield the various electrical components and the windshield electrical cover 4, thereby improving the aesthetics of the vehicle's exterior.

[0040] See appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 The front windshield electrical cover 4 is integrally molded by ABS injection molding and includes a main cover 41, a fixing platform 42 and a cable harness cover 43.

[0041] The main cover 41 includes a top wall 411 and side walls 412 surrounding the top wall 411. The top wall 411 and the side walls 412 have a smooth transition, which enhances the aesthetics of the main cover 41. In other embodiments of this example, the two can also have an angular transition. The end of the side wall 412 away from the top wall 411 forms the opening 413 of the main cover 41. During installation, the electrical components are first attached to the inner side of the windshield 1, and then the opening 413 of the main cover 41 is fastened to the inner side of the windshield 1, so that all electrical components are located inside the main cover 41, thereby forming a cover for the electrical components fixed to the inner side of the windshield 1.

[0042] A fixing platform 42 is disposed on the inner side of the main cover 41 at the cover opening 413. The fixing platform 42 includes an adhesive plate 421 and a rib 423. One side of the adhesive plate 421 in the thickness direction faces outward from the main cover 41, and the other side faces inward from the main cover 41. The rib 423 is located between the side of the adhesive plate 421 facing inward from the main cover 41 and the inner side of the main cover 41 to provide support for the adhesive plate 421. The side of the adhesive plate 421 facing outward from the main cover 41 is the adhesive surface 422, which is aligned with the edge of the main cover 41 at the cover opening 413. During installation, a layer of double-sided tape needs to be applied to the adhesive surface 422, and then the main cover 41 is snapped onto the inner side of the windshield 1 and pressed firmly to fix the windshield electrical cover 4 and the windshield 1 together with the double-sided tape.

[0043] At least two mounting platforms 42 are required; in this embodiment, there are eight mounting platforms 42, arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cover opening 413. This ensures that the double-sided adhesive on each mounting platform 42 is relatively small during installation, guaranteeing a firm and bubble-free bond between each adhesive strip and the windshield 1. Furthermore, due to the thickness of the double-sided adhesive, after the windshield electrical cover 4 is fixed to the windshield 1, a gap exists between the edge of the main cover 41 and the inner surface of the windshield 1. This creates a channel for air circulation between adjacent sections of double-sided adhesive, facilitating heat dissipation for the electrical components within the main cover 41.

[0044] The main cover 41 is provided with a wire pass-through port 414 for the wire harness to pass through. The wire pass-through port 414 is located on the side wall 412 of the main cover 41, and in this embodiment, the wire pass-through port 414 is located at the edge of the side wall 412 away from the top wall 411, so that the wire pass-through port 414 and the cover opening 413 are interconnected. The upper end of the wire harness cover 43 is connected to the wire pass-through port 414 of the main cover 41. The main cover 41 and the wire harness cover 43 are connected through the wire pass-through port 414. The side of the wire harness cover 43 facing the windshield is an open structure and this open structure is connected to the cover opening 413. That is, the wire harness cover 43 is a groove-shaped structure and the groove faces the windshield and is in contact with the windshield.

[0045] The function of the cable harness cover 43 is to constrain and guide the cable harnesses led out from various electrical components, and to prevent the cable harnesses from being exposed. During the installation process, the lower end of the cable harness cover 43 passes through the upper surface of the instrument panel 3 and enters the interior of the instrument panel 3, so that the various cable harnesses are gathered together inside the instrument panel 3.

[0046] The windshield electrical cover 4 in this embodiment has fewer parts and a simpler structure, reducing manufacturing costs and assembly difficulty. Furthermore, the windshield electrical cover 4 does not have specific mating and mounting structures for the internal electrical components; therefore, the mounting positions of the components can be adjusted as needed, and components of different sizes can be replaced as required, resulting in greater flexibility and versatility. Simultaneously, the optical elements of the internal electrical components can be positioned closer to the inner surface of the windshield 1, which helps ensure the detection accuracy of each component.

[0047] In other embodiments of this example, the mounting platform and the windshield can also be bonded together using other adhesives such as glass glue.

[0048] Specific embodiment 2 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0049] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, but differs in that the fixing platform in this embodiment has a continuous ring around the circumference of the cover opening. This allows for increased pressing pressure during installation, preventing air bubbles from forming between the double-sided adhesive and the inner surface of the windshield. To ensure heat dissipation of the internal electrical components, other embodiments of this embodiment may include heat dissipation holes on the main cover.

[0050] Specific embodiment 3 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0051] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the adhesive surface of the fixing platform is arranged further inward than the edge of the main cover at the cover opening. This allows part of the double-sided adhesive to be hidden inside the main cover, reducing leakage and narrowing the gap between the main cover and the windshield.

[0052] Specific embodiment 4 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0053] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the fixing platform in this embodiment is a solid cuboid structure, and the side facing the outside of the main cover is its bonding surface.

[0054] Specific embodiment 5 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0055] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the wire insertion port is located on the top wall and the wire harness cover has a bent tube structure, which can still guide the wire harness to the instrument panel in a concentrated manner.

[0056] Specific embodiment 6 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0057] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the wire threading opening and the cover opening are separated, and the wire harness cover is a flat cylindrical structure. The wire harness cover itself does not directly contact the windshield.

[0058] Specific embodiment 7 of the vehicle provided by this utility model:

[0059] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that no cable harness cover is provided in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the lower side of the main cover is closely attached to the upper surface of the instrument cover, so that the cable opening is directly connected to the corresponding hole on the instrument panel, and the cable harness is not exposed.

[0060] Specific embodiments of the windshield electrical cover provided by this utility model:

[0061] The windshield electrical cover is the windshield electrical cover in the specific embodiment of the above-mentioned vehicle, and will not be described again.

[0062] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments without creative effort, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
