[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0037] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes an embodiment of the hood assembly and vehicle.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the nacelle canopy assembly of this utility model embodiment includes a nacelle canopy 1 and a first sealing member 2. The nacelle canopy 1 has a first side 11 and a second side 12 arranged opposite to each other in the front-rear direction. The first side 11 is located behind the second side 12. The first sealing member 2 is installed on the lower wall surface of the nacelle canopy 1. The first sealing member 2 extends in the left-right direction of the nacelle canopy 1 and is arranged close to the first side 11.
[0039] It is understandable that the front-back, left-right, up-down, and front-back directions of the hood 1 are consistent with the front-back, left-right, up-down, and front-back directions of the vehicle. Among them, the first side 11 (the rear side of the hood 1) is located near the windshield of the vehicle, and the second side 12 (the front side of the hood 1) is located near the front bumper of the vehicle.
[0040] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the hood assembly has a first sealing element 2 installed on the lower wall of the hood 1. The first sealing element 2 extends along the left-right direction of the hood 1 and is arranged close to the first side 11. When the vehicle is in motion, the first sealing element 2 can block the airflow, thereby reducing the airflow drawn into the hood from the first side 11 of the hood 1, thus reducing wind resistance and energy consumption. In addition, the blocking effect of the first sealing element 2 can reduce the probability of dust, fallen leaves, and other debris entering the hood, thus resulting in a higher level of cleanliness inside the hood.
[0041] On the other hand, compared with the solution of "fixing the seal on the ventilation cover 4 or the cabin beautification panel 3", the hood assembly of this utility model embodiment can improve the overall integrity and aesthetics of the arrangement of components in the cabin. Since the first seal 2 of this utility model embodiment is installed on the hood 1, when the user opens the hood 1, the first seal 2 can rotate synchronously with the hood 1. At this time, the first seal 2 can be separated from the cabin beautification panel 3, thereby making the outer surface of the cabin beautification panel 3 simple and beautiful, which is conducive to improving the user experience.
[0042] When the vehicle's windshield wipers are activated, the wiper arms can swat rainwater or sprayed wash fluid. With the blocking effect of the first seal 2, the probability of rainwater or wash fluid entering the front compartment can be reduced, thereby reducing the amount of water absorbed by the air conditioning filter, which helps to extend the service life of the air conditioning filter, and can also improve the cleanliness of the area around the front trunk in the engine compartment.
[0043] Optionally, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first seal 2 includes a first stop 21 for abutting against the cabin beautification panel 3. The first stop 21 is located on the side of the first seal 2 facing away from the cabin cover 1. Since the first stop 21 abuts against the cabin beautification panel 3, the installation gap between the first seal 2 and the cabin beautification panel 3 can be eliminated, thereby reducing the probability of airflow and debris such as dust and sewage entering the cabin through the gap between the first seal 2 and the cabin beautification panel 3, thus further improving the blocking effect of the first seal 2.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first stop 21 extends downward so that it abuts against the cabin beautification panel 3. Exemplarily, the first stop 21 gradually slopes downward in the direction from back to front, thereby reducing the overall thickness of the first seal 2 and making the contact with the cabin beautification panel 3 more reliable.
[0045] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first stop 21 can be a soft structure. When the first stop 21 is compressed, it can deform to a certain extent, thereby increasing the contact area between the first stop 21 and the cabin beautification panel 3, thus improving the sealing effect. For example, the first stop 21 can be made of soft plastic.
[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first seal 2 includes a second stop 22. The first stop 21 is located on the side of the first seal 2 near the nacelle cover 1, and the second stop 22 abuts against the nacelle cover 1. Since the second stop 22 abuts against the nacelle cover 1, on the one hand, the stability of the first seal 2 after installation can be improved; that is, the second stop 22 can limit the first seal 2, reducing the problem of abnormal noise caused by shaking of the installation position of the first seal 2 and the nacelle cover 1. On the other hand, since the second stop 22 can eliminate the installation gap between the first seal 2 and the nacelle cover 1, the probability of airflow and debris such as dust and sewage entering the cabin through the gap between the first seal 2 and the nacelle cover 1 can be reduced.
[0047] For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the second stop 22 can be a soft structure. When the second stop 22 is compressed, it can deform to a certain extent, thereby increasing the contact area between the second stop 22 and the hood 1, thus improving the sealing effect. For example, the second stop 22 can be made of soft plastic.
[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first sealing element 2 includes a frame 23, and a first stop portion 21 and a second stop portion 22 are both connected to the frame 23, and the first stop portion 21 and the second stop portion 22 are arranged circumferentially around the frame 23. The frame 23 has a higher hardness than the first stop portion 21 and the second stop portion 22. Therefore, the frame 23 can support the first stop portion 21 and the second stop portion 22, thereby improving the structural strength of the first sealing element 2 and the reliability of the first sealing element 2 after connection.
[0049] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first stop 21 is located on the front side of the frame 23, and the second stop 22 is located on the rear side of the frame 23 and on the left and right sides of the frame 23. The frame 23, the first stop 21, and the second stop 22 can be formed by two-color injection molding.
[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first seal 2 includes a frame 23, and both the first stop 21 and the second stop 22 are connected to the frame 23. The frame 23 is detachably connected to the hood 1. For example, the frame 23 can be connected to the hood 1 via threaded parts or snap-fit parts. This facilitates the installation and removal of the first seal 2, reducing subsequent maintenance costs.
[0051] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the frame 23 has a reinforcing rib 231 on the side near the nacelle cover 1, that is, the upper wall of the frame 23 has a reinforcing rib 231. Since the reinforcing rib 231 is located on the side of the frame 23 near the nacelle cover 1, the reinforcing rib 231 can be hidden to improve the aesthetics of the first seal 2 after installation. In addition, the reinforcing rib 231 can strengthen the structure of the frame 23 to extend the service life of the frame 23.
[0052] For example, the reinforcing ribs 231 may be arranged in a grid or radial pattern.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the nacelle cover 1 has a third side 13 and a fourth side 14 arranged opposite each other in the left-right direction, and the end of the first seal 2 is spaced apart from at least one of the third side 13 and the fourth side 14. This allows a portion of the airflow to enter the air conditioning inlet of the nacelle through the gap between the end of the first seal 2 and at least one of the third side 13 and the fourth side 14, thereby ensuring that the air conditioning has sufficient air intake.
[0054] For example, the left end of the first seal 2 is spaced apart from the third side 13. Alternatively, the right end of the first seal 2 is spaced apart from the fourth side 14. Figure 1 As shown, in this example of the present invention, the left and right ends of the first sealing member 2 are spaced apart from the third side 13 and the fourth side 14, respectively.
[0055] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, in a projection plane orthogonal to the vertical direction of the hood 1, the outline of the first side 11 is arc-shaped and protrudes forward, thus fitting the vehicle's windshield. In the projection plane orthogonal to the vertical direction of the hood 1, the outline of the first seal 2 is also arc-shaped and protrudes forward. This improves the fit between the first seal 2 and the hood 1 and facilitates the installation of components around the hood 1.
[0056] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the width dimension (front-to-back direction dimension) of the middle position of the first seal 2 is smaller than the width dimension (front-to-back direction dimension) of the end position of the first seal 2, thereby allowing the components around the hood 1 to be avoided, so as to facilitate the installation of the components around the hood 1.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first seal 2 (frame 23) is snapped into the hood 1, thereby improving the ease of installation and removal of the first seal 2.
[0058] Optionally, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the first seal 2 has at least two snap-fit positions 232, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first seal 2. The nacelle cover assembly also includes a snap-fit member (not shown), which snaps into the snap-fit positions 232 and the nacelle cover 1. Because the two snap-fit positions 232 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first seal 2, the firmness of the snap-fit between the first seal 2 and the nacelle cover 1 can be improved, and the probability of the first seal 2 and the nacelle cover 1 becoming loose can be reduced.
[0059] For example, there can be two, three, four, or five snap-fit positions 232. In the example of this utility model, there are five snap-fit positions 232, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the first seal 2.
[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the hood 1 includes an outer hood panel 15 and an inner hood panel 16. The inner hood panel 16 is located inside the outer hood panel 15, and has a snap-fit hole 161. A snap-fit component (not shown) engages with the snap-fit position 232 and the snap-fit hole 161. Because the snap-fit component is connected to the inner hood panel 16, the snap-fit points of the hood 1 are concealed. Furthermore, because the snap-fit component engages with the snap-fit position 232 and the snap-fit hole 161, the first sealing element 2 can be easily installed and removed.
[0061] For example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the snap-fit position 232 includes a through hole 2321, which is arranged opposite to the snap-fit hole 161 so that the snap-fit member can pass through the through hole 2321 and the snap-fit hole 161.
[0062] Another embodiment of the present invention includes a vehicle comprising a hood assembly and a vehicle body. The hood assembly is the hood assembly of the present invention. The vehicle body is provided with a cabin, and the hood 1 covers the top of the cabin.
[0063] According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the vehicle is in motion, the first seal 2 can block the airflow to reduce the airflow drawn into the engine compartment from the first side 11 of the hood 1, thereby reducing wind resistance and energy consumption during vehicle operation. Furthermore, the blocking effect of the first seal 2 reduces the probability of dust, fallen leaves, and other debris entering the engine compartment, thus ensuring a higher level of cleanliness within the engine compartment.
[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle also includes a cabin beautification panel 3, which is located inside the cabin, and the first seal 2 abuts against the cabin beautification panel 3. Because the first seal 2 abuts against the cabin beautification panel 3, the probability of airflow and debris such as dust and sewage entering the cabin through the gap between the first seal 2 and the cabin beautification panel 3 can be reduced, thereby further improving the blocking effect of the first seal 2.
[0065] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle also includes a ventilation cover 4, which has a wiper groove 41. The engine compartment beautification panel 3 includes an overlap portion 31, which is located at the upper edge of the wiper groove 41 and cooperates with the ventilation cover 4. It can be understood that rainwater falling from the windshield can be collected and guided through the wiper groove 41. Since the overlap portion 31 is located at the upper edge of the wiper groove 41 and cooperates with the ventilation cover 4, the probability of rainwater entering the engine compartment can be reduced.
[0066] As shown in the figure, the vehicle also includes a second seal 5, which is disposed between the overlap portion 31 and the ventilation cover 4, and extends in the left-right direction. Thus, the second seal 5 can seal the gap between the overlap portion 31 and the ventilation cover 4, preventing rainwater or dust from entering the engine compartment cover 1 through this gap, thereby improving the cleanliness of the engine compartment.
[0067] For example, the second seal 5 can be a sealing foam or a sealing strip.
