Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of detergent filling technology, and more specifically, relates to a detergent filling device and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] To keep vehicle windows clean, a washer fluid reservoir is usually installed in vehicles. Users can fill the reservoir with washer fluid through a filling tube and then use the washer fluid in the reservoir to clean the vehicle windows.

[0003] Currently, most washing kettles use a purely manual opening method for the filling port cap, such as attaching it to the filling tube by snapping or twisting. This makes it easy to lose or dirty the cap when adding washing liquid. Others rely on an interference fit between the filling port cap and the filling tube to achieve the locking function. This method requires the user to apply a large force to cause plastic deformation of the filling port cap in order to complete the opening and closing operation.

[0004] Most existing fuel filler caps use a manual, purely mechanical installation structure, lacking intelligent interactive capabilities. This results in a poor user experience, low structural reliability, and an inability to adapt to the development trends of automotive electrification and intelligentization. While some companies have adopted electric drive systems to control the opening of the fuel filler caps, the motor is axially positioned along the cap's rotation axis, increasing the space required. Furthermore, to accommodate the motor, the cap's connecting arm needs to form an arc-shaped swing arm structure, leading to a large opening and closing range during rotation. This necessitates sufficient clearance around the cap, impacting not only the placement of surrounding components but also the overall rational layout of the engine compartment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a detergent filling device and vehicle, which aims to solve the problems of existing filling caps relying on manual opening for closure, resulting in poor user experience, low structural reliability, and insufficient intelligence, while electric drive occupies a large space.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a detergent dispensing device, including a dispensing tube and a sealing cap rotatably connected to the dispensing tube about a first axis, and further including a driving assembly connected to the sealing cap, the driving assembly comprising:

[0007] A driver, wherein the output shaft of the driver rotates about a second axis, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis; and

[0008] The transmission mechanism includes a second transmission member and a first transmission member connected to the second transmission member. The second transmission member is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the driver. The axis of the first transmission member is parallel to the first axis, and is used to enable the sealing cover to rotate around the first axis.

[0009] The advantages of the detergent filling device provided in this application are that, compared with the prior art, the use of a drive to power the opening and closing of the sealing cap solves the problem of inconvenience caused by traditional manual operation, improves the convenience and intelligence of operation, and enhances the user's comfort and experience. Furthermore, since the output shaft of the drive is set along a direction perpendicular to the first axis and the transmission mechanism changes the direction of force transmission to achieve power transmission, the drive can be compactly arranged on the side of the filling pipe, reducing the space occupied in the first axis direction, which is beneficial to the rational layout of the forward engine compartment. At the same time, the above-mentioned layout of the drive assembly avoids the need for an arc-shaped swing arm to avoid the drive, making the opening and closing range of the sealing cap more controllable and reducing spatial interference to surrounding components during opening and closing, providing greater flexibility for the arrangement of other components in the forward engine compartment.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the drive assembly further includes a reduction mechanism connected to the transmission mechanism, the reduction mechanism comprising:

[0011] The drive gear is coaxially connected to the first transmission member; and

[0012] The driven gear meshes with the driving gear, and the diameter of the driven gear is larger than the diameter of the driving gear. The output end of the driven gear is connected to the sealing cover.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the driven gear has a larger diameter than the driving gear, which reduces the rotational speed during the opening and closing of the sealing cover, making the movement of the sealing cover more stable and controllable, and avoiding the impact caused by rapid start-stop. The combination of a small-diameter driving gear and a large-diameter driven gear achieves an ideal speed reduction and torque increase effect within a limited space, satisfying power requirements while maintaining structural compactness.

[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the outer wall of the filling tube is provided with a mounting support, the washing liquid filling device further includes a connecting shaft inserted into the mounting support, the connecting shaft being parallel to the first axis, and the sealing cap comprising:

[0015] A cover plate is fastened to the filling tube to achieve a sealed connection with the filling tube;

[0016] A connecting support, connected to the cover plate and extending radially along the cover plate; and...

[0017] A connecting shaft is connected to the connecting support, and the connecting shaft is parallel to the first axis. The connecting shaft is rotatably inserted into the mounting support and connected to the drive assembly.

[0018] In the above technical solution, the drive assembly can drive the connecting support to rotate the cover plate via the connecting shaft, thereby opening and closing the cover plate. Since the connecting shaft is parallel to the first axis, and the connecting support of the sealing cover extends radially along the cover plate and connects to the connecting shaft, the sealing cover can be stably rotated and connected to the filling pipe, improving the stability of the sealing cover installation, preventing the sealing cover from shaking or shifting during opening and closing, and ensuring the reliability of the sealing connection between the sealing cover and the filling pipe.

[0019] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the washing liquid dispensing device further includes a drive housing covering the drive assembly, the drive housing having a connecting surface adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the dispensing tube, the connecting surface being attached to and connected to the dispensing tube.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the drive housing is located outside the drive assembly, effectively protecting components such as the driver and transmission mechanism inside the drive assembly. This prevents impurities such as dust, moisture, and detergent from entering the drive assembly, avoiding component malfunctions or damage due to contamination, and improving the service life and operational reliability of the drive assembly. The drive housing has a connecting surface that fits the outer circumference of the filling tube. This connecting surface is closely fitted and connected to the filling tube, allowing the drive housing to be tightly installed on the filling tube, increasing the contact area and improving the stability of the drive housing installation.

[0021] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the drive housing includes a housing and a mounting bracket connected to the outside of the housing, the housing covering the drive assembly, and the mounting bracket having a fixing position for connection to the vehicle body.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the housing is installed outside the drive assembly, which can effectively protect the drive unit, transmission mechanism and other components. The fixing bracket is connected to the outside of the housing and has a fixing position for connecting with the vehicle body. The fixing position can securely install the drive housing on the vehicle body, so that the washing liquid filling device is reliably connected to the vehicle body. This prevents the device from shifting or loosening due to vibration or other factors during vehicle operation, and improves the stability and reliability of the entire device installation.

[0023] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the drive assembly further includes a terminal block electrically connected to the driver, the terminal block being configured to engage with a power supply.

[0024] In the above technical solution, the terminal block is connected to the driver and a plug-in power connection is used to power the driver. Compared with other conductive connection methods, this method makes it easier to switch the circuit on and off. If it is necessary to replace or repair the internal components of the driver assembly, the terminal block can be disconnected from the power supply before replacement or repair. After maintenance, the conductive connection can be restored. This operation is convenient, simplifies the maintenance process, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0025] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the detergent dispensing device further includes a mounting bracket connected to the outside of the dispensing pipe. The mounting bracket includes a fixing part, a connecting part, and a mounting part that are sequentially connected to form a "Z"-shaped structure. The mounting part has a mounting position for connection with the vehicle body.

[0026] In the aforementioned technical solution, the "Z"-shaped connecting part allows for flexible adjustment of the mounting bracket's spatial orientation, enabling the mounting part to adapt to the complex spatial layout within the front engine compartment. Whether avoiding other components or matching different vehicle body mounting points, this can be easily achieved, significantly enhancing the device's adaptability to different vehicle models. Furthermore, the mounting bracket bears part of the load on the filling pipe, reducing the risk of deformation caused by direct force on the filling pipe. Simultaneously, the mechanical transmission through the "Z"-shaped structure evenly distributes the load to the vehicle body.

[0027] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the outer wall of the filling tube is further provided with a plurality of limiting ribs spaced apart along its own axial direction, and a limiting space for accommodating the mounting bracket is formed between two adjacent limiting ribs, and the limiting ribs are used to abut and limit the mounting bracket.

[0028] The mounting bracket's fixing part is located between two adjacent limiting ribs and abuts against the two limiting ribs along the axial direction of the filling pipe, thereby limiting and fixing the mounting bracket along the axial direction of the filling pipe. This prevents the connection between the mounting bracket and the filling pipe from failing due to external forces, while also improving the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket and the vehicle body and reducing the problem of loosening due to vehicle vibration.

[0029] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the mounting bracket further includes a first reinforcing rib disposed between the fixing portion and the connecting portion, and a second reinforcing rib disposed between the connecting portion and the mounting portion, wherein the first reinforcing rib and the second reinforcing rib are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting portion.

[0030] In the above technical solution, a first reinforcing rib is provided between the fixing part and the connecting part, and a second reinforcing rib is provided between the connecting part and the mounting part. These two ribs are located on opposite sides of the connecting part, effectively enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of the "Z"-shaped structure of the mounting bracket, reducing the deformation of the mounting bracket under load, and enabling it to more securely fix the filling pipe to the vehicle body. The first and second reinforcing ribs improve the mounting bracket's ability to resist vibration, reducing the risk of the mounting bracket loosening or deforming due to vibration during vehicle operation, and further ensuring the sealing performance between the filling pipe and the sealing cap, as well as the normal operation of the drive components.

[0031] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including the aforementioned detergent dispensing device.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the vehicle provided in this application are that, compared with the prior art, the aforementioned washer fluid filling device, powered by a drive unit, opens and closes the sealing cap, solving the problem of inconvenience caused by traditional manual operation, improving the convenience and intelligence of operation, and enhancing user comfort and experience. Furthermore, since the drive unit's output shaft is positioned perpendicular to the first axis and the transmission mechanism changes the direction of force transmission, the drive unit can be compactly arranged on the side of the filling pipe, reducing its footprint in the first axis direction and facilitating a more rational layout of the front engine compartment. Simultaneously, this layout of the drive assembly avoids the need for an arc-shaped swing arm to avoid obstructing the drive unit, making the opening and closing range of the sealing cap more controllable and reducing spatial interference to surrounding components during opening and closing, providing greater flexibility for the arrangement of other components in the front engine compartment.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4The following describes the detergent filling device and vehicle provided in this application. The detergent filling device includes a filling pipe 1 and a sealing cap 2 rotatably connected to the filling pipe 1 about a first axis. It also includes a drive assembly 4 connected to the sealing cap 2. The drive assembly 4 includes a driver 401 and a transmission mechanism 402. The output shaft of the driver 401 rotates about a second axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis. The transmission mechanism 402 includes a second transmission member 4022 and a first transmission member 4021 connected to the second transmission member 4022. The second transmission member 4022 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the driver 401. The axis of the first transmission member 4021 is parallel to the first axis, which is used to realize the rotation of the sealing cap 2 about the first axis.

[0045] Compared with existing technologies, the detergent filling device provided in this application uses a driver 401 to provide power to open and close the sealing cap 2, solving the problem of inconvenience caused by traditional manual operation, improving the convenience and intelligence of operation, and enhancing the user's comfort and experience. Furthermore, since the output shaft of the driver 401 is arranged perpendicular to the first axis and the transmission mechanism 402 changes the direction of force transmission to achieve power transmission, the driver 401 can be compactly arranged on the side of the filling pipe 1, reducing the space occupied in the first axis direction, which is beneficial to the rational layout of the forward engine compartment. At the same time, the above-mentioned layout of the drive assembly 4 avoids the need for an arc-shaped swing arm to avoid the driver 401, making the opening and closing range of the sealing cap 2 more controllable and reducing spatial interference to surrounding components during opening and closing, providing greater flexibility for the arrangement of other components in the forward engine compartment.

[0046] Optionally, the sealing cap 2 is placed over the open end of the filling pipe 1 and is interference-fitted with the filling pipe 1.

[0047] Optionally, the inner ring of the sealing cap 2 is fitted with a rubber sealing ring, which is used to compress and seal with the filling tube 1.

[0048] Optionally, the first transmission component 4021 and the second transmission component 4022 can achieve transmission by means of two gears meshing vertically or a worm gear meshing vertically, or other structures can be used to change the direction of force transmission.

[0049] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 4 further includes a reduction mechanism 403 connected to the transmission mechanism 402. The reduction mechanism 403 includes a drive gear 4031 and a driven gear 4032. The drive gear 4031 is coaxially connected to the first transmission member 4021. The driven gear 4032 meshes with the drive gear 4031, and the diameter of the driven gear 4032 is larger than the diameter of the drive gear 4031. The output end of the driven gear 4032 is connected to the sealing cover 2.

[0050] This embodiment employs a driven gear 4032 with a diameter larger than that of the driving gear 4031. This reduces the rotational speed of the sealing cover 2 during opening and closing, making its movement more stable and controllable, and avoiding the impact caused by rapid start-stop. The combination of the small-diameter driving gear 4031 and the large-diameter driven gear 4032 achieves an ideal speed reduction and torque increase effect within a limited space, satisfying power requirements while maintaining structural compactness.

[0051] It should be noted that, according to the basic formula for gear transmission: T1 / T2 = r1 / r2 = i, where T1 and T2 are the torques of the driving gear 4031 and driven gear 4032, respectively, r1 and r2 are the radii of the driving gear 4031 and driven gear 4032, and i is the transmission ratio. For example, when the diameter of the driven gear is twice that of the driving gear, the transmission ratio i = 2, and the torque is thus doubled. This solution can increase the output torque without increasing the size of the motor.

[0052] Please see Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the outer wall of the filling tube 1 is provided with a mounting support 6, and the washing liquid filling device further includes a connecting shaft 203 inserted into the mounting support 6. The connecting shaft 203 is parallel to the first axis. The sealing cover 2 includes a cover plate 201, a connecting support 202 and a connecting shaft 203. The cover plate 201 is fastened to the filling tube 1 to achieve a sealed connection with the filling tube 1. The connecting support 202 is connected to the cover plate 201 and extends radially along the cover plate 201. The connecting shaft 203 is connected to the connecting support 202 and is parallel to the first axis. The connecting shaft 203 is rotatably inserted into the mounting support 6 and connected to the drive assembly 4.

[0053] In this embodiment, the connecting shaft 203 is rotatably inserted into the mounting support 6 located on the outer wall of the filling tube 1 and connected to the drive assembly 4. This allows the drive assembly 4 to drive the connecting support 202 to rotate the cover plate 201 via the connecting shaft 203, thus opening and closing the cover plate 201. Since the connecting shaft 203 is parallel to the first axis, and the connecting support 202 of the sealing cover 2 extends radially along the cover plate 201 and connects to the connecting shaft 203, the sealing cover 2 can be stably rotatably connected to the filling tube 1. This improves the stability of the sealing cover 2 installation, prevents the sealing cover 2 from shaking or shifting during opening and closing, and ensures the reliability of the sealing connection between the sealing cover 2 and the filling tube 1. Furthermore, the parallel alignment of the connecting shaft 203 to the first axis allows the transmission mechanism 402 of the drive assembly 4 to more smoothly transmit driving force to the sealing cover 2, reducing energy loss during transmission and improving transmission efficiency.

[0054] Optionally, the mounting bracket 6 has a socket adapted to the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft 203 is rotatably inserted into the socket.

[0055] Optionally, a bushing is fitted on the connecting shaft 203, with the bushing located on both sides of the mounting support 6 along the first path, and / or on both sides of the connecting support 202 along the first path, to limit the connecting shaft 203 along the first path and improve the connection reliability of the connecting shaft 203.

[0056] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the washing liquid dispensing device further includes a drive housing 3 covering the drive assembly 4. The drive housing 3 has a connecting surface adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the dispensing tube 1, and the connecting surface is attached to and connected to the dispensing tube 1.

[0057] The drive housing 3 covers the drive assembly 4, effectively protecting components such as the driver 401 and transmission mechanism 402 inside the drive assembly 4. It prevents impurities such as dust, moisture, and washing liquid from entering the drive assembly 4, avoiding component malfunctions or damage due to contamination, and improving the service life and operational reliability of the drive assembly 4. The drive housing 3 has a connecting surface that fits the outer circumference of the filling tube 1. This connecting surface is closely fitted and connected to the filling tube 1, allowing the drive housing 3 to be tightly installed on the filling tube 1. This increases the contact area, improves the stability of the drive housing 3 installation, and also makes the connection between the drive assembly 4 and the filling tube 1 more compact.

[0058] Optional. The drive housing 3 can be bonded or welded to the filling tube 1, or it can be snapped together. Using a detachable connection method, the filling tube 1 and drive housing 3 can be manufactured separately, reducing production difficulty.

[0059] Optionally, the drive housing 3 and the filling tube 1 are integrally molded. This integral injection molding solution avoids subsequent assembly processes, simplifies the installation process, and improves the connection reliability between the drive housing 3 and the filling tube 1.

[0060] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the drive housing 3 includes a housing 301 and a mounting bracket 302 connected to the outside of the housing 301. The housing 301 covers the drive assembly 4, and the mounting bracket 302 has a fixing position 3021 for connection with the vehicle body.

[0061] The housing 301 covers the drive assembly 4, effectively protecting components such as the driver 401 and transmission mechanism 402. The mounting bracket 302 is connected to the housing 301 and has a fixing position 3021 for connection with the vehicle body. This fixing position 3021 allows the drive housing 3 to be securely installed on the vehicle body, ensuring a reliable connection between the detergent filling device and the vehicle body. This prevents displacement or loosening of the device due to vibration or other factors during vehicle operation, improving the stability and reliability of the entire device installation. Directly connecting the drive housing 3 to the vehicle body distributes the installation load borne by the filling pipe 1, reducing the risk of deformation of the filling pipe 1 due to stress and ensuring the sealing performance between the filling pipe 1 and the sealing cap 2.

[0062] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In some embodiments, the drive assembly 4 further includes a terminal 404 electrically connected to the driver 401, the terminal 404 being used for power supply connection.

[0063] Terminal 404 is connected to driver 401 and plugged into the power supply to power driver 401. Compared to other conductive connection methods, this method allows for easier circuit switching. If it is necessary to replace or repair internal components of driver assembly 4, terminal 404 can be disconnected from the power supply before replacement or repair. After maintenance, the conductive connection can be restored. This convenient operation simplifies the maintenance process and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0064] Optionally, the power source can be a vehicle battery or other power supply device, or a battery specifically designed to power the driver 401.

[0065] Optionally, the terminals of the wiring terminal 404 are located outside the drive housing 3 for easy control of the circuit's on / off state.

[0066] In some embodiments, the detergent dispensing device further includes a controller that is communicatively connected to the driver 401, and a control terminal that is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0067] Users can issue opening, closing, or shut-off commands to the controller via a control terminal. The controller then activates the actuator 401 based on the received commands, thereby causing the sealing cover 2 to open, close, or shut down. For example, when the controller receives an opening / closing command, it controls the actuator 401 to rotate forward, opening the sealing cover 2; when the controller receives a shut-off command, it controls the actuator 401 to rotate in the reverse direction, closing the sealing cover 2. Alternatively, the actuator 401 can rotate in the reverse direction to open the sealing cover 2 and rotate forward to close it. This embodiment allows for convenient control of the opening and closing of the sealing cover 2, achieving intelligent operation and enhancing human-computer interaction capabilities.

[0068] Optionally, the control terminal can be a mobile phone or a vehicle switch, or it can be a voice recognition device.

[0069] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the detergent filling device further includes a mounting bracket 5 connected to the outside of the filling pipe 1. The mounting bracket 5 includes a fixing part 501, a connecting part 502 and a mounting part 503 connected in sequence to form a "Z" shaped structure. The mounting part 503 has a mounting position 5031 for connecting to the vehicle body.

[0070] The mounting bracket 5, formed by the sequential connection of the fixing part 501, the connecting part 502, and the mounting part 503, forms a "Z" shape. Compared to a straight plate structure, this design enhances the strength and deformation resistance of the mounting bracket 5, firmly securing the filling pipe 1 to the vehicle body and effectively resisting vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, thus improving the stability of the device installation. The "Z"-shaped connecting part 502 allows for flexible adjustment of the spatial orientation of the mounting bracket 5, enabling the mounting part 503 to adapt to the complex spatial layout of the front engine compartment. Whether avoiding other components or matching different vehicle body mounting points, this can be easily achieved, significantly enhancing the device's adaptability to different vehicle models. Furthermore, the mounting bracket 5 bears part of the load on the filling pipe 1, reducing the risk of deformation caused by direct force on the filling pipe 1. Simultaneously, the mechanical transmission through the "Z"-shaped structure evenly distributes the load to the vehicle body, optimizing the load distribution in the front engine compartment.

[0071] Optionally, the mounting bracket 5 and the fixing bracket 302 are located on opposite sides of the filling pipe 1, which can ensure that the filling pipe 1 is reliably and stably connected to the vehicle body.

[0072] Please see Figure 1 In some embodiments, the outer wall of the filling pipe 1 is also provided with a plurality of limiting ribs 101 distributed at intervals along its own axial direction. A limiting space for accommodating the mounting frame 5 is formed between two adjacent limiting ribs 101. The limiting ribs 101 are used to abut and limit the mounting frame 5.

[0073] The fixing part 501 of the mounting bracket 5 is located between two adjacent limiting ribs 101 and abuts against the two limiting ribs 101 along the axial direction of the filling pipe 1, thereby limiting and fixing the mounting bracket 5 in the axial direction of the filling pipe 1, avoiding the failure of the connection between the mounting bracket 5 and the filling pipe 1 due to external force, and also improving the stability of the connection between the mounting bracket 5 and the vehicle body, reducing the problem of loose connection caused by vehicle vibration.

[0074] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the mounting bracket 5 further includes a first reinforcing rib 504 disposed between the fixing part 501 and the connecting part 502, and a second reinforcing rib 505 disposed between the connecting part 502 and the mounting part 503, wherein the first reinforcing rib 504 and the second reinforcing rib 505 are respectively located on opposite sides of the connecting part 502.

[0075] A first reinforcing rib 504 is provided between the fixing part 501 and the connecting part 502, and a second reinforcing rib 505 is provided between the connecting part 502 and the mounting part 503. These two ribs are located on opposite sides of the connecting part 502, effectively enhancing the overall strength and rigidity of the "Z"-shaped structure of the mounting bracket 5, reducing the deformation of the mounting bracket 5 under load, and enabling it to more securely fix the filling pipe 1 to the vehicle body. The first and second reinforcing ribs 504 and 505 improve the mounting bracket 5's ability to resist vibration, reducing the risk of loosening or deformation of the mounting bracket 5 due to vibration during vehicle operation, further ensuring the sealing performance between the filling pipe 1 and the sealing cap 2, as well as the normal operation of the drive assembly 4. Furthermore, the first and second reinforcing ribs 504 and 505, located on opposite sides of the connecting plate, optimize the mechanical structure of the mounting bracket 5, allowing for a more even distribution and transmission of load. This not only enhances the reliability of the mounting bracket 5 itself but also further optimizes the load distribution in the front engine compartment, improving the stability and reliability of the entire detergent filling device during vehicle operation, and meeting the requirements of structural strength and durability in automotive engineering.

[0076] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle. The vehicle includes the aforementioned detergent dispensing device.

[0077] The vehicle provided by this utility model adopts the aforementioned washer fluid filling device. The opening and closing of the sealing cap 2 is achieved by power provided by the actuator 401, solving the problem of inconvenience caused by traditional manual operation, improving the convenience and intelligence of operation, and enhancing user comfort and experience. Furthermore, since the output shaft of the actuator 401 is arranged perpendicular to the first axis and the transmission mechanism 402 changes the direction of force transmission, the actuator 401 can be compactly arranged on the side of the filling pipe 1, reducing the space occupied in the first axis direction and facilitating a more rational layout of the front engine compartment. Simultaneously, the aforementioned layout of the drive assembly 4 avoids the need for an arc-shaped swing arm to avoid the actuator 401, making the opening and closing range of the sealing cap 2 more controllable and reducing spatial interference to surrounding components during opening and closing, providing greater flexibility for the arrangement of other components in the front engine compartment.

[0078] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
