Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spoiler technology, and in particular to a vehicle rear spoiler device and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, when a vehicle travels at high speed, the lower side of the vehicle has a larger surface area exposed to the wind, while the upper side has a smaller surface area, resulting in a pressure difference between the upper and lower sides. This pressure difference generates lift on the vehicle body, and the higher the speed, the greater the pressure difference. This lift is a type of air resistance (i.e., induced drag), accounting for approximately 7% of the vehicle's total air resistance. Other air resistance only consumes the vehicle's power, but this external resistance not only consumes power but also generates support force, thus endangering the vehicle's driving safety. When the vehicle's speed reaches a certain value, the lift will overcome the vehicle's weight and lift it up, reducing the adhesion between the wheels and the ground, causing the vehicle to float, and decreasing the vehicle's driving stability.

[0003] In existing technologies, a diffuser is generally needed to interfere with the airflow around the vehicle to increase downforce. However, diffusers usually take up space behind the vehicle and can easily cause injury to pedestrians in the event of an accident. Utility Model Content
