These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0048] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0049] In the description of the embodiments of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise precisely specified.

[0050] The terms "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc., used in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0051] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0052] With the rapid development of my country's automobile industry and the popularization of new energy electric vehicles in China, in order to continuously meet market demand, the appearance, functional configuration, and economic practicality of various new energy electric vehicle models are rapidly improving.

[0053] In related technologies, the water deflector assembly includes a main water deflector plate, an upper crossbeam, and an arc-shaped straight-through plate. One end of the arc-shaped straight-through plate is connected to the main water deflector plate, and the other end is connected to the upper crossbeam; that is, the arc-shaped straight-through plate uses a two-point connection. While this connection structure of the arc-shaped straight-through plate effectively increases the rigidity of the upper crossbeam, it does not increase the rigidity of the main water deflector plate. Therefore, existing front cabin water deflector assemblies are difficult to meet NVH performance requirements, and also difficult to meet the requirements for installing hood hinges.

[0054] The hood hinge consists of two parts: a movable flap and a fixed flap. The movable flap has two mounting points for the inner hood panel, while the fixed flap has two mounting points for the vehicle body. The fixed flap is typically located on both sides along the length of the main water guide plate. If there are many mounting components within the vehicle body, the installation of the hood hinge will be space-constrained. Firstly, its placement on the vehicle body will encroach on a significant amount of A-pillar space; secondly, it will be detrimental to styling design and A-pillar structural strength design. Furthermore, it does not increase the structural strength of the main water guide plate.

[0055] To continuously meet consumer demands for efficient use of passenger and cargo space, automakers are designing vehicles with a forward-positioned C-point and shortened front overhang. This results in a shortened relative position of the ventilation hood and water channels along the vehicle's direction. Furthermore, the gaps between the hood and surrounding components like the windshield are becoming increasingly narrow, sometimes failing to meet safe distances for moving parts and posing a risk of interference. This increases the complexity of hood hinge design. Addressing these issues requires designing a larger, separate connector to support the hinge's mounting base. This not only encroaches on the A-pillar space, compromising frontal collision safety, but also increases cost, manufacturing complexity, assembly difficulty, and project timelines.

[0056] The above-described water guide plate structure is not suitable for the ever-changing automotive designs, such as shortened engine hoods and windshields, especially for structures that require space to accommodate hood hinge mounting brackets and reinforce the water guide plate.

[0057] Based on the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a water guide plate assembly and a vehicle. In this technical solution, the water guide plate assembly includes a water guide plate main board, an upper crossbeam, and a connecting bracket. The water guide plate main board is provided with a water guide groove that extends along a first direction. The upper crossbeam is disposed opposite to the water guide plate main board. The connecting bracket is disposed between the water guide plate main board and the upper crossbeam. The water guide plate main board is provided with a connecting boss, and the connecting bracket is connected to the connecting boss. The projection of the connecting boss toward the water guide plate main board is located inside the water guide plate main board. The connecting bracket is provided with a mounting part that can be used to connect the hinge base of the hood. By incorporating connecting bosses on the water guide plate, the stress distribution on the plate is optimized, providing more stress distribution points and more evenly distributing the stress, thus improving the structural strength of the water guide plate. The connecting bracket has mounting parts that can connect to the hinge base of the hood. Compared to existing technologies where the hood hinges are located on both sides of the water guide plate, this effectively moves the hood hinges closer to the center of the water guide plate, optimizing the stress distribution. This not only avoids the hood hinges occupying vehicle space but also further strengthens the structural strength of the water guide plate. Furthermore, because the hood hinges do not occupy vehicle space and are positioned close to the center of the water guide plate, they avoid obstructing the A-pillar space, allowing for a more rational structural design for the A-pillar and thus improving its structural strength.

[0058] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 6 This diagram illustrates a simplified schematic of the water deflector assembly and other components in the vehicle. The specific structures of the water deflector assembly and other components in the vehicle are not limited to these examples. Figures 1 to 6 of examples.

[0059] in addition, Figures 1 to 6 The X, Y, and Z arrows shown (if they exist) are perpendicular to each other in three-dimensional space.

[0060] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0061] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a water guide plate assembly and a vehicle are provided, wherein the water guide plate assembly includes a water guide plate 100, an upper crossbeam 200 and a connecting bracket 300.

[0062] The water guiding main board 100 is provided with a water guiding groove 101, which extends along a first direction, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The direction indicated by the X-shaped arrow. The water guide 101 can guide rainwater and other liquids left on the windshield, preventing rainwater and other liquids from entering the cabin.

[0063] The upper crossbeam 200 is positioned opposite to the water guide main plate 100; the connecting bracket 300 is positioned between the water guide main plate 100 and the upper crossbeam 200; the water guide main plate 100 is provided with a connecting boss 400, the connecting bracket 300 is connected to the connecting boss 400, and the projection of the connecting boss 400 toward the water guide main plate 100 is located inside the water guide main plate 100; the connecting bracket 300 is provided with a mounting part 310, which can be used to connect the hinge base of the engine compartment cover.

[0064] In the above embodiment, by providing a connecting boss 400 on the water guide plate 100, with the projection of the connecting boss 400 towards the water guide plate 100 located inside the water guide plate 100, the stress on the water guide plate 100 can be optimized, providing more stress distribution points and distributing the stress more evenly, thereby improving the structural strength of the water guide plate 100. The connecting bracket 300 is provided with a mounting part 310, which can connect to the hinge base of the hood. Thus, compared to the prior art where the hood hinge is located on both sides of the water guide plate 100, this is equivalent to moving the hood hinge closer to the center of the water guide plate 100, optimizing the stress on the water guide plate 100. This not only avoids the hood hinge occupying vehicle space but also further strengthens the structural strength of the water guide plate 100. Furthermore, since the hood hinge does not occupy vehicle space and is oriented closer to the center of the water guide plate 100, it avoids the space of the vehicle's A-pillar, providing more reasonable structural design for the A-pillar and thus improving its structural strength.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the mounting portion 310 and the connecting boss 400 form a receiving cavity 3101, which is at least used to accommodate the hinge base. Specifically, the bottom of the connecting boss 400 is connected to the bottom of the water guide channel 101, and the top of the connecting boss 400 and the mounting portion 310 form the receiving cavity 3101.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the hinge base is accommodated by forming a receiving cavity 3101 with the mounting part 310 and the connecting boss 400. This design makes the connection between the water guide plate assembly and the hood hinge base more compact and integrated. Compared with the traditional distributed layout, it improves the integration of the overall structure, makes the front structure of the vehicle simpler and more compact, and provides greater flexibility for the arrangement of other components or vehicle styling design.

[0067] The structure of the receiving cavity 3101 provides precise positioning for the hinge base, allowing it to more accurately align with the water guide plate assembly during installation and reducing installation errors. This helps ensure the relative positional accuracy of the hinge base's axis and the water guide plate assembly, thereby improving the smoothness and stability of the hood's opening and closing. When the hood is subjected to various forces during vehicle operation, such as wind and vibration, the hinge base receives better support and constraint within the receiving cavity 3101. This structure disperses and transmits forces, preventing loosening or damage caused by excessive localized stress on the hinge base, thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire hood connection structure.

[0068] In addition, the receiving cavity 3101 formed by the mounting part 310 and the connecting boss 400 can form a relatively closed space, which plays a certain sealing role for the hinge base and has a certain protective effect on the hinge base, thereby extending the service life of the hinge base.

[0069] In one possible implementation, in the second direction, the second direction is... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The direction indicated by the Y-arrow. The mounting part 310 is spaced apart from the side wall of the water guide channel 101.

[0070] Along the direction away from the bottom surface of the water guide channel 101, the distance between the mounting part 310 and the side wall of the water guide channel 101 gradually increases.

[0071] The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0072] What is understandable is that, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the main water-guiding plate 100 has a water-guiding base plate 110 and a first water-guiding side plate 120. The water-guiding base plate 110 and the water-guiding side plate together form a water-guiding channel 101. To further improve the liquid guiding effect of the water-guiding channel 101, the main water-guiding plate 100 also includes a second water-guiding side plate 130. In a second direction, the first water-guiding side plate 120 and the second water-guiding side plate 130 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the water-guiding base plate 110. Along the direction away from the water-guiding base plate 110, the distance between the mounting part 310 and the first water-guiding side plate 120 gradually increases.

[0073] In the above embodiment, the mounting part 310 is spaced apart from the side wall of the water guide channel 101 with gradually increasing distance, which can make full use of the internal space of the water guide plate assembly. Within a limited space, the components can be arranged more orderly, avoiding space waste or interference problems between components that may occur in traditional designs, thus improving the overall space utilization rate. For areas with high space requirements, such as the front of the vehicle, this design helps to rationally arrange the positions of components such as the main water guide plate 100, connecting bracket 300, and hinge base without increasing the overall size, making the front structure of the vehicle more compact and rational. The structure of the mounting part 310 being spaced apart from the side wall of the water guide channel 101 with gradually increasing distance allows the force to be more evenly distributed to all parts of the water guide plate assembly during transmission. Compared with the traditional direct connection method, this structure can reduce stress concentration and lower the risk of component deformation or damage due to excessive local stress, thereby enhancing the structural strength and stability of the entire water guide plate assembly.

[0074] As a specific embodiment of this application, refer to Figures 3 to 6 As shown. The mounting portion 310 has a first sidewall 311 and a second sidewall 312 disposed opposite to each other in a second direction, with the first sidewall 311 located in front of the second sidewall 312. It can be understood that the first sidewall 311 being located in front of the second sidewall 312 is relative to the front and rear sides of the vehicle body.

[0075] Both the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 are inclined relative to the bottom surface of the water guide trough 101. The angle between the first sidewall 311 and the bottom surface of the water guide trough 101 is smaller than the angle between the second sidewall 312 and the bottom surface of the water guide trough 101.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the first sidewall 311, the second sidewall 312, and the bottom wall of the receiving cavity 3101 form a trapezoidal structure. The inclined first sidewall 311 and second sidewall 312 can decompose the external forces acting on the mounting part 310 (such as vibrations during vehicle operation, wind force, etc.) into component forces along the direction of the first sidewall 311 or the second sidewall 312 and perpendicular to the direction of the first sidewall 311 or the second sidewall 312. This force decomposition method can reduce the direct pressure on the mounting part 310 and distribute the force more evenly on the entire water guide plate assembly structure.

[0077] The different inclination angles of the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 further optimize the force distribution, making the structure more stable when subjected to external forces, reducing the risk of component deformation or damage due to excessive local stress, and thus increasing the structural strength of the mounting part 310.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the top end of the mounting part 310 has an overlapping surface 314, which is connected to the upper crossbeam 200.

[0079] In such Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the direction of the Z-arrow, the top of the mounting part 310 has an overlapping surface 314 along the Z-arrow direction. By connecting the overlapping surface 314 to the upper crossbeam 200, this design increases the contact area between the upper crossbeam 200 and the mounting part 310. Compared to point or line contact, a larger contact area can distribute the pressure acting on the connection point, reducing the force per unit area and thus reducing the risk of component damage due to localized stress concentration. Connecting the upper crossbeam 200 to the mounting part 310 through the overlapping surface 314 makes the entire water guide plate assembly more compact and integrated. This integration helps improve structural rigidity and reduces wear and loosening caused by relative movement between components.

[0080] Furthermore, by setting the first sidewall 311 and the second sidewall 312 at different inclination angles, the mounting part 310 forms a trapezoidal boss, which helps to distribute the force on the mounting part 310 and thus improves the stability of the upper crossbeam 200.

[0081] Specifically, the overlapping surface 314 of the connecting bracket 300 is connected to the upper crossbeam 200 by welding. The connection method is not limited to this. For example, screw holes can be provided on the top of the mounting part 310 and the upper crossbeam 200, and bolts can be used to connect the mounting part 310 and the upper crossbeam 200.

[0082] The mounting section 310 has two third sidewalls 313 arranged opposite each other in a first direction, and the distance between the two third sidewalls 313 remains unchanged in the direction away from the bottom surface of the water guide channel 101.

[0083] Specifically, the two third sidewalls 313 are arranged parallel to each other in the direction of the Z-arrow, which simplifies the mold design and processing technology when manufacturing the mounting part 310, thus simplifying the structure. This facilitates accurate positioning and installation during the assembly of the hinge base. It also provides a certain guiding and limiting function for the installation of the hinge base.

[0084] As a specific embodiment of this application, the slot of the receiving cavity 3101 is set to be rectangular, and the rectangular slot makes it easier to install the hinge base.

[0085] Through the above embodiments, the receiving cavity 3101 can be formed into a ladle-shaped receiving cavity 3101, which can facilitate the assembly of the hinge base and improve the stability of the hinge base.

[0086] By setting different sizes for the first sidewall 311, the second sidewall 312, and the third sidewall 313, the size of the mounting part 310 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the size of the receiving cavity 3101 to adapt to different positions and structures of the water guide main plate 100 and hinge support, thus increasing the applicability range.

[0087] In one possible implementation, a first support portion 320 is provided on the connecting bracket 300.

[0088] The first support part 320 is arranged around the groove of the receiving cavity 3101.

[0089] The first support part 320 is connected to the water guiding main board 100.

[0090] The first support portion 320 has a reinforcing portion 321 at its edge, and the reinforcing portion 321 extends toward the depth direction of the receiving cavity 3101.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the first support portion 320 is connected to the connecting boss 400 on the water guiding main plate 100 by welding. The connection method is not limited to this; for example, screw holes can be provided on the connecting boss 400 and the first support portion 320, and bolts can be used to connect the first support portion 320 and the connecting boss 400. The first support portion 320 surrounds the periphery of the groove of the receiving cavity 3101 and is connected to the water guiding main plate 100, forming a comprehensive support structure for the receiving cavity 3101. This design can effectively enhance the structural strength around the receiving cavity 3101, making it more stable when subjected to various external forces. The reinforcing portion 321 extends towards the depth direction of the receiving cavity 3101, further increasing the overall rigidity and strength of the connecting bracket 300.

[0092] Furthermore, the angle between the reinforcing part 321 and the first support part 320 is greater than 90 degrees, preferably 90 degrees, which is beneficial for stamping and simplifies the manufacturing process. Specifically, the reinforcing part 321 extends toward the depth direction of the receiving cavity 3101, that is, the reinforcing part 321 extends toward... Figure 4 The arrow in the middle extends in the direction of the Z, and the extension height is less than 10mm.

[0093] In one possible implementation, the connecting bracket 300 includes a second support portion 330, which is disposed on the rear side of the mounting portion 310 in a second direction and is connected to the side wall of the water guide channel 101.

[0094] The second support 330 is provided with at least one reinforcing protrusion 331, which protrudes toward the bottom surface of the water guide trough 101 or away from the bottom surface of the water guide trough 101.

[0095] In the above embodiment, the second support portion 330 has a first connecting portion 332 connected to the first water-guiding side plate 120, and a second connecting portion 333 connected to the mounting portion 310. Specifically, the second connecting portion 333 is connected to the mounting portion 310 through the first support portion 320, and the first connecting portion 332 is welded to the first water-guiding side plate 120. The connection method is not limited to this; for example, screw holes can be provided on the first connecting portion 332 and the first water-guiding side plate 120, and bolts can be used to connect the first connecting portion 332 and the first water-guiding side plate 120. The second connecting portion 333 and the first support portion 320 have a preset angle. Specifically, the angle between the second connecting portion 333 and the first support portion 320 is greater than 90 degrees, which is beneficial for stamping.

[0096] The second support part 330 is horizontally set, and the angle between the second support part 330 and the second connecting part 333 is greater than 90 degrees, which further facilitates stamping.

[0097] The second support portion 330 is located on the rear side of the mounting portion 310 and connected to the first water guide side plate 120, forming additional support for the mounting portion 310 in the second direction. This connection method increases the contact area and connection tightness between the mounting portion 310 and the water guide channel 101, enabling them to work together better when subjected to external forces. This effectively reduces the possibility of loosening or displacement between the mounting portion 310 and the water guide channel 101 due to vibrations and bumps during vehicle operation, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire water guide plate assembly. The reinforcing protrusion 331 further enhances the overall rigidity of the connecting bracket 300. The presence of the reinforcing protrusion 331 gives the structure better resistance to deformation in this direction, helping to maintain the overall shape and function of the water guide plate assembly.

[0098] In one possible implementation, to reduce the weight of the connecting bracket 300 and achieve weight reduction, at least one weight-reducing part 500 is provided on the connecting bracket 300.

[0099] The weight reduction section 500 includes a first weight reduction gap 510, a second weight reduction gap 520 and a third weight reduction gap 530.

[0100] The first support portion 320 is provided with a first weight reduction notch 510, or located on opposite sides of the mounting portion 310, and the first support portion 320 is provided with at least two symmetrical first weight reduction notches 510.

[0101] The second connecting part 333 has a second weight reduction notch 520 on each of its opposite sides. On the same side of the mounting part 310, the first weight reduction notch 510 and the second weight reduction notch 520 are connected.

[0102] The second support 330 has a third weight reduction notch 530 on each of its opposite sides. On the same side of the mounting part 310, the third weight reduction notch 530 is connected to the second weight reduction notch 520.

[0103] By setting the first weight-reduction notch 510, the second weight-reduction notch 520, and the third weight-reduction notch 530 on the connecting bracket 300, material can be removed in a targeted manner, thereby optimizing the weight distribution of the entire water guide plate assembly. This effectively reduces the weight of the connecting bracket 300, avoids stress concentration caused by excessive material concentration in certain parts of the connecting bracket 300, and helps improve material utilization and avoid material waste.

[0104] In one possible implementation, this application provides a vehicle including a vehicle body and the aforementioned water guide assembly, the water guide assembly being disposed on the vehicle body. The water guide assembly has been described in detail above and will not be repeated here. This vehicle possesses the technical advantages of the aforementioned water guide assembly, namely, it provides installation space for the hood hinges, reduces the space occupied inside the vehicle body, and simultaneously improves the structural strength of the main water guide plate 100. In the embodiments of this application, the vehicle can be a gasoline-powered vehicle, a natural gas-powered vehicle, or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle can be a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a range-extended electric vehicle, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific structure of the vehicle.

[0105] The implementation principle of the water guide plate assembly and vehicle according to the embodiments of this application is as follows: The water guide plate assembly provided in this application includes a water guide plate 100, an upper crossbeam 200 and a connecting bracket 300; the water guide plate 100 is provided with a water guide groove 101, which extends along a first direction; the upper crossbeam 200 is disposed opposite to the water guide plate 100; the connecting bracket 300 is disposed between the water guide plate 100 and the upper crossbeam 200; the water guide plate 100 is provided with a connecting boss 400, the connecting bracket 300 is connected to the connecting boss 400, and the projection of the connecting boss 400 toward the water guide plate 100 is located inside the water guide plate 100; the connecting bracket 300 is provided with a mounting part 310, which can be used to connect the hinge base of the engine hood. By providing connecting bosses 400 on the water guide plate 100, the stress on the water guide plate 100 can be optimized, providing more stress distribution points and distributing the stress more evenly, thereby improving the structural strength of the water guide plate 100. The connecting bracket 300 is provided with a mounting part 310, which can connect to the hinge base of the hood. In this way, compared to the prior art where the hood hinges are located on both sides of the water guide plate 100, the hood hinges are positioned closer to the center of the water guide plate 100, optimizing the stress on the water guide plate 100. This not only avoids the hood hinges occupying vehicle space but also further strengthens the structural strength of the water guide plate 100. Furthermore, since the hood hinges do not occupy vehicle space and are positioned closer to the center of the water guide plate 100, they avoid the space of the vehicle's A-pillar, providing more reasonable structural design for the A-pillar and thus improving its structural strength.
