Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of windshield wiper installation technology, and more particularly to a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Windshield wipers are an important safety component of a vehicle. They work by rubbing against the windshield with their blades to remove water, snow, dust, and other debris, ensuring the driver has a clear view.

[0003] In related technologies, windshield wipers are mounted on the front panel or sill of a vehicle via mounting brackets, which are typically welded to the front panel or sill. However, this method of mounting wipers results in lower installation precision and makes it easy for the wiper blades to deviate from their installation position. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a vehicle that improves the installation accuracy of windshield wipers and ensures that the wiper installation position is accurate.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0006] The vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes:

[0007] Window;

[0008] The vehicle body has a windshield mounting structure, a front wheel arch reinforcement, and a shock absorber tower. The windshield mounting structure is used to mount the windshield and has a first connecting portion. The front wheel arch reinforcement is connected to the front wheel arch and extends longitudinally along the vehicle body, and has a second connecting portion.

[0009] A windshield wiper assembly includes a first wiper, a second wiper, and a connecting structure. The connecting structure is located between the first wiper and the second wiper, and both the first wiper and the second wiper are in contact with the windshield and can rotate relative to the connecting structure. The connecting structure has a main mounting part, a secondary mounting part, and a fixing part. The main mounting part is connected to the first connecting part by a first fastener, the secondary mounting part is connected to the second connecting part by a second fastener, and the fixing part is connected to the shock absorber tower by a third fastener.

[0010] In this embodiment of the vehicle, the windshield mounting structure, front wheel arch reinforcement, and shock absorber tower of the vehicle body are directly used as the mounting carriers for the wiper assembly. The main mounting part of the wiper assembly is connected to the first connecting part of the windshield mounting structure via a first fastener, the secondary mounting part is connected to the second connecting part via a second fastener, and the fixing part is connected to the shock absorber tower via a third fastener. In this way, the windshield mounting structure, front wheel arch reinforcement, and shock absorber tower can be directly used as the mounting carriers for the wiper assembly, so as to realize the installation of the wiper assembly on the vehicle body. It is not necessary to install the wiper assembly through a mounting bracket, thus avoiding the welding errors caused by welding the mounting bracket. This allows the wiper assembly to be directly positioned and installed on the vehicle body, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the wiper assembly, so that the first and second wipers can have a high fitting accuracy with the windshield. While improving the wiping effect, it can also avoid abnormal noise when the first and second wipers rotate relative to the connecting structure, thus improving the user experience.

[0011] Eliminating the mounting bracket reduces the vehicle's curb weight, contributing to its lightweight design. Furthermore, the wiper assembly is connected to the windshield mounting structure, front wheel arch reinforcement, and shock absorber towers. Since these components all possess high rigidity, they enhance the strength of the installation on the vehicle body. This ensures that the load generated by the rotation of the first and second wipers is effectively transferred to the front wheel arch reinforcement and shock absorber towers, reducing stress concentration at the wiper assembly mounting points and improving its installation stability.

[0012] In one possible implementation of this application, the main mounting part and the first connecting part are disposed opposite to each other, and the main mounting part has a main mounting hole, through which the first fastener passes and connects to the first connecting part.

[0013] In one possible implementation of this application, the secondary mounting portion and the second connecting portion are disposed opposite to each other, and the secondary mounting portion has a secondary mounting hole, through which the second fastener passes and connects to the second connecting portion.

[0014] In one possible implementation of this application, the fixing part and the shock absorber tower are disposed opposite to each other, and the fixing part has a through hole, and the third fastener passes through the through hole and is connected to the shock absorber tower.

[0015] In one possible implementation of this application, the shock absorber tower includes a tower top cover and side plates, the side plates being disposed on the side of the tower top cover and connected to the tower top cover.

[0016] The fixing part is disposed opposite to the tower top cover and has an overlapping area, and the third fastener passes through the through hole and is connected to the tower top cover.

[0017] In one possible implementation of this application, the vehicle further includes a strut bar and a strut bar reinforcement. The strut bar connects the shock absorber tower and the windshield mounting structure. The strut bar reinforcement is located at the end of the windshield mounting structure opposite to the strut bar and connects the strut bar and the windshield mounting structure. The main mounting part is also connected to the strut bar reinforcement through the first connecting part.

[0018] In one possible implementation of this application, the windshield mounting structure includes a windshield fixing frame and a windshield reinforcement. The windshield fixing frame is used to install the windshield and has a bottom fixing section located between the strut bar and the strut bar reinforcement, and the bottom fixing section extends along the width direction of the vehicle body. The windshield reinforcement is located between the bottom fixing section and the strut bar reinforcement and connects the bottom fixing section and the strut bar reinforcement, and the windshield reinforcement has the first connecting portion.

[0019] In one possible implementation of this application, the shock absorber tower includes a first shock absorber tower and a second shock absorber tower, the first shock absorber tower and the second shock absorber tower are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body, the strut bar connects the first shock absorber tower and the second shock absorber tower, and the fixing part is connected to the first shock absorber tower or the second shock absorber tower.

[0020] In one possible implementation of this application, the main mounting part, the secondary mounting part, and the fixing part are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0021] In one possible implementation of this application, the connecting structure includes a connecting rod and a connecting seat, wherein the connecting rod forms the main mounting portion and the secondary mounting portion at its two ends in the extending direction, respectively; the connecting seat is connected to the middle portion of the connecting rod, and the connecting seat has the fixing portion.

[0022] This application provides a vehicle in which the windshield mounting structure, front wheel arch reinforcement, and shock absorber tower are directly used as mounting carriers. This allows the wiper assembly connection structure to be directly mounted to the vehicle body via a first fastener, a second fastener, and a third fastener, eliminating the need for mounting brackets. This avoids welding errors caused by welding mounting brackets, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the wiper assembly. As a result, the first and second wipers can achieve a higher fit with the windshield, improving the wiping effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the specific technical solutions of this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this application, but are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0030] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0031] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are defined relative to the positions in which the components are schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the position of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0032] In the embodiments of this application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0033] In embodiments of this application, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element.

[0034] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0035] The vehicle mentioned in this application can refer to large vehicles, small vehicles, special-purpose vehicles, etc. For example, according to vehicle type, the vehicle in this application can be a sedan, an off-road vehicle, a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), or other types of vehicles. Generally, a vehicle is equipped with wheels, a power source, and a transmission system between the wheels and the power source. The transmission system can transmit the power provided by the power source to the wheels, causing the wheels to rotate and thus driving the vehicle.

[0036] In this application embodiment, the type of power source of the vehicle is not limited. For example, for fuel vehicles, the power source can refer to fuel engines such as gasoline engines and diesel engines; for electric vehicles, the power source can refer to electric motors; for hybrid vehicles, the power source can refer to engines or electric motors; for vehicles powered by other means, the power source can refer to devices that generate power.

[0037] Cars typically have windshields and windshield wipers. Windshield wipers are mounted on the car and fit flush against the windshield. Also known as wipers or windshield wipers, they are devices on a car used to clear rainwater, dust, fog droplets, and other impurities from the surface of the windshield to ensure clear visibility for the driver in complex weather or environments.

[0038] Specifically, the windshield wiper makes contact with the windshield through the wiper blade. As the wiper swings, the rubber strip on the wiper blade pushes rainwater, dust and other impurities to the edge of the glass, achieving a cleaning effect.

[0039] Cars typically also have an engine compartment and a passenger compartment. Between the engine compartment and the passenger compartment is a front bulkhead, also known as a front panel, which separates the two. Specifically, the front bulkhead can be located below the windshield and in front of the dashboard.

[0040] Cars are also usually equipped with a windshield drain, also known as a front windshield drain. It is a trough-shaped structure used to collect and drain rainwater from the surface of the windshield. It is located close to the lower edge of the windshield and is arranged horizontally along the edge of the glass.

[0041] In related technologies, two independent mounting brackets are fixed to the vehicle body structure, such as the front panel or water channel, by welding, and the windshield wipers are connected and installed to the vehicle body through these mounting brackets.

[0042] However, during the welding and fixing process of the mounting brackets, welding errors can easily occur due to factors such as human operation and welding heat deformation. This can lead to deviations in the relative position accuracy of the two mounting brackets, which in turn affects the installation accuracy of the wipers. As a result, after the wipers are installed, the wiper blades are not in an ideal fit with the windshield, leading to poor wiping performance and abnormal wiping noise.

[0043] Based on this, the present application provides a vehicle that aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems of the prior art.

[0044] In the vehicle provided in this application embodiment, the main mounting part of the wiper assembly is connected to the first connecting part of the windshield mounting structure via a first fastener, the secondary mounting part is connected to the second connecting part via a second fastener, and the fixing part is connected to the shock absorber tower via a third fastener. This allows the windshield mounting structure, the front wheel arch reinforcement, and the shock absorber tower to directly serve as the mounting carriers for the wiper assembly, eliminating the need for mounting brackets. This avoids welding errors caused by welding mounting brackets, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the wiper assembly and ensuring that the first and second wipers have a high degree of fit with the windshield.

[0045] Meanwhile, eliminating the mounting bracket reduces the vehicle's curb weight, contributing to lightweight design. Furthermore, the wiper assembly is connected to the windshield mounting structure, front wheel arch reinforcement, and shock absorber tower, allowing the load generated by the rotation of the first and second wipers to be transferred to the front wheel arch reinforcement and shock absorber tower. This reduces stress concentration at the wiper assembly mounting points and improves installation stability.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The vehicle provided in this application embodiment includes a windshield, a body 100, and a windshield wiper assembly 200.

[0047] The vehicle body 100 has a windshield mounting structure 110, a front wheel arch reinforcement 120, and a shock absorber tower 130. The windshield mounting structure 110 is used to mount the windshield and has a first connecting portion 111. The front wheel arch reinforcement 120 is connected to the front wheel arch and extends longitudinally along the vehicle body 100. The front wheel arch reinforcement 120 has a second connecting portion 121.

[0048] The windshield mounting structure 110 provides a mounting base for the windshield and, through the first connecting part 111, provides a mounting base for the wiper assembly 200. The front wheel arch reinforcement 120 is a reinforcement structure fixed to the inside of the front wheel arch, which improves the rigidity of the front wheel arch and, through the second connecting part 121, provides a mounting base for the wiper assembly 200. The shock absorber tower 130 is the mounting base for the front shock absorber assembly and can withstand the vertical load transmitted from the ground when the vehicle is in motion. The shock absorber tower 130 is typically mounted on the front wheel arch in the front suspension area of ​​the vehicle body 100.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 1 The wiper assembly 200 includes a first wiper 210, a second wiper 220, and a connecting structure 230. The connecting structure 230 is located between the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220, and both the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 are in contact with the windshield and can rotate relative to the connecting structure 230. The connecting structure 230 has a main mounting part 231, a secondary mounting part 232, and a fixing part 233. The main mounting part 231 is connected to the first connecting part 111 via a first fastener 201, the secondary mounting part 232 is connected to the second connecting part 121 via a second fastener 202, and the fixing part 233 is connected to the shock absorber tower 130 via a third fastener 203.

[0050] The first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 are functional components of the wiper assembly 200. The wiper blades of both are in contact with the windshield. The first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 can rotate relative to the connecting structure 230, so that the wiper blades push rainwater, dust and other impurities to the edge of the glass, thereby cleaning the windshield.

[0051] The connecting structure 230 is a mounting component of the wiper assembly 200. It is connected to the windshield mounting structure 110 via the main mounting part 231, to the front wheel arch reinforcement 120 via the secondary mounting part 232, and to the shock absorber tower 130 via the fixing part 233. In other words, the wiper assembly 200 is fixedly mounted on the windshield mounting structure 110, the front wheel arch reinforcement 120, and the shock absorber tower 130 via the connecting structure 230. The connection between the connecting structure 230 and the vehicle body 100 relies on the rigid structure of the windshield mounting structure 110, the front wheel arch reinforcement 120, and the shock absorber tower 130, making it easy for the wiper assembly 200 to meet the rigidity requirements of its mounting location.

[0052] For ease of description, the first fastener 201, the second fastener 202, and the third fastener 203 will be collectively referred to as fasteners in the following text. The main mounting part 231, the secondary mounting part 232, and the fixing part 233 of the connecting structure 230 are all connected to the vehicle body 100 through the aforementioned fasteners. The fasteners achieve a rigid connection between the connecting structure 230 and the vehicle body 100 through mechanical connection, which can avoid the influence of heat processing on the installation position of the connecting structure 230, making it easier to install the wiper assembly 200 to the predetermined position; and, since the installation process of heat processing (such as welding) is avoided, the difficulty of installing the wiper assembly 200 is reduced.

[0053] The shock absorber tower 130 is rigidly connected to the wiper assembly 200 through the fixing part 233, which can provide vibration-resistant support for the wiper assembly, thereby suppressing longitudinal vibration during wiper operation and ensuring the fitting accuracy between the wiper blade and the windshield.

[0054] Therefore, in this embodiment, the windshield wiper assembly 200 directly uses the windshield mounting structure 110, the front wheel arch reinforcement 120, and the shock absorber tower 130 of the vehicle body 100 as mounting carriers, eliminating the need to install the windshield wiper assembly 200 through mounting brackets. This avoids welding errors caused by welding mounting brackets and helps improve the installation accuracy of the windshield wiper assembly 200. At the same time, by eliminating the mounting brackets, the curb weight of the vehicle body 100 is also reduced, which is conducive to the lightweight design of the car.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wiper assembly 200 is connected to the windshield mounting structure 110, the front wheel arch reinforcement 120, and the shock absorber tower 130 of the vehicle body 100, so that the load generated by the rotation of the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 can be transmitted to the front wheel arch reinforcement 120 and the shock absorber tower 130, thereby reducing the stress concentration at the mounting location of the wiper assembly 200 and helping to improve the installation stability of the wiper assembly 200.

[0056] In some embodiments, the fastener includes a connecting portion and a locking portion. For example, the connecting portion can be a bolt, screw, etc., and the locking portion can be a nut, etc. The main mounting portion 231 is connected to the first connecting portion 111, the secondary mounting portion 232 is connected to the second connecting portion 121, and the fixing portion 233 is connected to the shock absorber tower 130 through threaded engagement between the connecting portion and the locking portion.

[0057] In other embodiments, the fastener may also consist only of a connecting portion. The main mounting portion 231 and the first connecting portion 111 will be used as an example. In this case, when the main mounting portion 231 passes through the connecting portion and connects with the first connecting portion 111, the connecting portion can thread-fit and connect with the first connecting portion 111.

[0058] In one possible implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The main mounting part 231 and the first connecting part 111 are disposed opposite to each other, and the main mounting part 231 has a main mounting hole. The first fastener 201 passes through the main mounting hole and connects to the first connecting part 111 so that the main mounting part 231 is connected to the first connecting part 111.

[0059] The main mounting hole provides an installation position for the first fastener 201, so that the first fastener 201 passes through the main mounting part 231 and connects to the first connecting part 111, thereby enabling the main mounting part 231 and the first connecting part 111 to be connected.

[0060] For example, the main mounting hole is a threaded hole, the first fastener 201 has an external thread that matches the threaded hole, and the first connecting part 111 has a threaded connection part that matches the first fastener 201, such as a threaded hole or a fixing nut. During the process of the first fastener 201 passing through the main mounting hole, the first fastener 201 is threadedly connected to the main mounting hole and connected to the threaded connection part on the first connecting part 111.

[0061] In one possible implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The secondary mounting portion 232 and the second connecting portion 121 are disposed opposite to each other, and the secondary mounting portion 232 has a secondary mounting hole. The second fastener 202 passes through the secondary mounting hole and connects to the second connecting portion 121 so that the secondary mounting portion 232 and the second connecting portion 121 are connected.

[0062] The secondary mounting hole provides an installation position for the second fastener 202, so that the second fastener 202 passes through the secondary mounting part 232 and connects to the second connecting part 121, thereby enabling the secondary mounting part 232 and the second connecting part 121 to be connected.

[0063] For example, the secondary mounting hole is a threaded hole, the second fastener 202 has an external thread that matches the threaded hole, and the second connecting part 121 has a threaded connection part that matches the second fastener 202, such as a threaded hole or a fixing nut. During the process of the second fastener 202 passing through the secondary mounting hole, the second fastener 202 is threadedly connected to the secondary mounting hole and connected to the threaded connection part on the second connecting part 121.

[0064] In one possible implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fixing part 233 and the top of the shock absorber tower 130 are arranged opposite each other, and the fixing part 233 has a through hole. The third fastener 203 is inserted through the through hole and connected to the shock absorber tower 130 so that the fixing part 233 is connected to the top of the shock absorber tower 130.

[0065] The through hole provides an installation position for the third fastener 203, so that the third fastener 203 passes through the secondary fixing part 233 and connects to the top of the shock absorber tower 130, thereby connecting the fixing part 233 and the shock absorber tower 130.

[0066] For example, the through hole is a threaded hole, and the third fastener 203 has an external thread that matches the threaded hole. The top of the shock absorber tower 130 has a threaded connection part that matches the third fastener 203, such as a threaded hole or a fixing nut. During the process of the third fastener 203 passing through the through hole, the third fastener 203 is threadedly connected to the through hole and connected to the threaded connection part on the top of the shock absorber tower 130.

[0067] In one possible implementation of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The vehicle also includes a strut bar 140 and a strut bar reinforcement 141, with the strut bar 140 connecting the shock absorber tower 130 and the windshield mounting structure 110.

[0068] The strut bar 140 is a rigid structure laterally arranged at the front of the vehicle body 100. Its two lateral ends are connected to the shock absorber tower 130, and its middle section is connected to the windshield mounting structure 110, forming a rigid structural unit. During vehicle operation, the dynamic impact load on the windshield mounting structure 110 can be distributed to the strut bar 140 and the shock absorber tower 130, thereby preventing excessive stress concentration at the wiper assembly 200 mounting location and thus avoiding structural fatigue. Because the strut bar 140 is connected to the shock absorber tower 130, it can limit the relative lateral displacement of the shock absorber tower 130 due to ground impact forces, thereby reducing the reference offset of the wiper mounting point caused by the torsion of the vehicle body 100.

[0069] The strut bar reinforcement 141 is located at the end of the windshield mounting structure 110 opposite to the strut bar 140, and connects the strut bar 140 and the windshield mounting structure 110. The strut bar reinforcement 141 serves as a reinforcing structural member between the windshield mounting structure 110 and the strut bar 140. Connecting the strut bar 140 and the windshield mounting structure 110 via the strut bar reinforcement 141 helps improve the structural strength of the connection between the windshield mounting structure 110 and the strut bar 140, as well as the overall structural strength of the windshield mounting structure 110 and the strut bar 140.

[0070] The main mounting part 231 is also connected to the strut bar reinforcement 141 via the first connecting part 111. That is, the main mounting part 231 is connected to the first connecting part 111 and the strut bar reinforcement 141, so that the load of the windshield wiper can be transferred to the strut bar 140 through the first connecting part 111, reducing the load borne by the windshield mounting structure 110 alone, and reducing the local stress between the first connecting part 111 and the main mounting part 231.

[0071] Therefore, in this embodiment, the strut bar 140, strut bar reinforcement 141, shock absorber tower 130, and windshield mounting structure 110 are connected as a whole, so that the dynamic impact load generated during vehicle operation can be distributed and transmitted along the above-mentioned components, thereby improving the overall rigidity of the vehicle body 100 and also improving the installation stability of the wiper assembly 200; at the same time, the main mounting part 231 is connected to the strut bar reinforcement 141 to reduce the load generated by the windshield mounting structure 110 during wiper operation, thereby reducing the stress concentration of the first connection part 111 and improving the connection stability between the main mounting part 231 and the first connection part 111.

[0072] In one possible implementation of this application, please refer to Figure 2 The windshield mounting structure 110 includes a windshield fixing frame 112 and a windshield reinforcing member 113. The windshield fixing frame 112 is used to install the windshield. The windshield fixing frame 112 has a bottom fixing section 114, which is located between the strut bar 140 and the strut bar reinforcing member 141, and the bottom fixing section 114 extends along the width direction of the vehicle body 100.

[0073] The windshield mounting frame 112 is a frame structure that surrounds the edge of the windshield and serves as the main mounting base for the windshield. The windshield mounting frame 112 is welded integrally with the front bulkhead of the vehicle body 100, and its inner side can be fixed to the perimeter of the windshield via sealing strips. The bottom mounting section 114 of the windshield mounting frame 112 is a horizontal extension located below the windshield, extending along the width direction of the vehicle body 100, and its length is adapted to the lower edge of the windshield.

[0074] The windshield reinforcement 113 is located between the bottom fixing section 114 and the top bar reinforcement 141, and connects the bottom fixing section 114 and the top bar reinforcement 141. The windshield reinforcement 113 has a first connecting portion 111. The windshield reinforcement 113 is a structural component that improves the structural strength of the windshield mounting structure 110. It connects the bottom fixing section 114 and the top bar reinforcement 141, thereby connecting the windshield mounting structure 110 and the top bar 140.

[0075] Therefore, in this embodiment, the windshield reinforcement 113 can effectively improve the structural strength of the windshield mounting structure 110. The windshield reinforcement 113 is further connected to the bottom fixing section 114 and the top bar reinforcement 141, which helps to improve the overall rigidity of the windshield mounting structure 110. At the same time, the first connecting part 111 is set on the windshield reinforcement 113. Since the windshield reinforcement 113 is connected to the top bar reinforcement 141, it helps to improve the structural strength of the connection between the main mounting part 231 and the first connecting part 111, thereby improving the connection stability between the main mounting part 231 and the first connecting part 111.

[0076] In one possible implementation of this application, the shock absorber tower 130 includes a first shock absorber tower and a second shock absorber tower, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the vehicle body 100. The strut bar 140 connects the first shock absorber tower and the second shock absorber tower, and the fixing part 233 is connected to the first shock absorber tower or the second shock absorber tower.

[0077] The first and second shock absorber towers are not shown in the figure. They are used to mount the shock absorbers for the corresponding left and right front wheels, respectively. One of the first and second shock absorber towers is located on the left side of the vehicle body 100, and the other on the right side. The first and second shock absorber towers provide balanced vertical load support to the front suspension system, ensuring symmetrical force distribution on both sides during vehicle operation and reducing vehicle body sway.

[0078] The strut bar 140 connects the first shock absorber tower and the second shock absorber tower as a single unit. During vehicle operation, the strut bar 140 can connect the first and second shock absorber towers through lateral tension, reducing their relative displacement and thus maintaining 100% vehicle stability.

[0079] It is understandable that the shock absorber tower 130, due to its high self-rigidity, can provide a stable connection reference for the mounting part 233, which helps to improve the installation stability of the wiper assembly 200.

[0080] In one possible implementation of this application, the shock absorber tower 130 includes a tower top cover 131 and a side plate 132. The side plate 132 is disposed on the side of the tower top cover 131 and connected to the tower top cover 131. The fixing part 233 is disposed opposite to the tower top cover 131 and has an overlapping area. The third fastener 203 passes through the through hole and is connected to the tower top cover 131.

[0081] The tower cover 131 is the load-bearing structure at the top of the shock absorber tower 130, and can serve as the mounting base for the upper end of the shock absorber assembly and the connecting carrier for the wiper mounting part 233. The lower end of the side plate 132 is fixed to the front bulkhead of the vehicle body, and the upper end of the side plate 132 is connected to the edge of the tower cover 131, thereby strengthening the rigidity of the tower cover 131 and distributing the load.

[0082] Since the fixing part 233 and the tower top cover 131 are arranged opposite each other and have an overlapping area, the contact area between the fixing part 233 and the tower top cover 131 is increased, which is beneficial to the distribution and transmission of load and reduces the indentation deformation of the tower top cover 131 caused by local stress.

[0083] In one possible implementation of this application, the main mounting part 231, the secondary mounting part 232, and the fixing part 233 are arranged in a triangular pattern. With the above arrangement, when the wiper assembly 200 is subjected to load, the wiper can transfer the load to the vehicle body 100 in three directions, thereby reducing the torsional deformation of the connecting structure 230 caused by excessive local force concentration in one direction.

[0084] Therefore, the connection structure 230 in this embodiment, through the triangular arrangement of the main mounting part 231, the secondary mounting part 232 and the fixing part 233, can provide a more stable mounting reference for the wiper assembly 200, thereby further improving the installation stability of the wiper assembly 200.

[0085] For example, the connecting structure 230 is a "T"-shaped or three-pronged frame structure, which forms a main mounting part 231, a secondary mounting part 232, and a fixing part 233 through three branches, which are arranged in a triangular pattern. Specifically, the main mounting part 231 and the secondary mounting part 232 are located on the lateral sides of the connecting structure 230, and the fixing part 233 is located on the side of the connecting structure 230 away from the windshield.

[0086] In one possible implementation of this application, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 The connecting structure 230 includes a connecting rod 234 and a connecting seat 235. The connecting rod 234 forms a main mounting part 231 and a secondary mounting part 232 at its two ends in the extending direction, respectively. The connecting seat 235 is connected to the middle part of the connecting rod 234 and has a fixing part 233.

[0087] The connecting rod 234 serves as the supporting base for the connecting structure 230, and is used to mount the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220. The first wiper 210 is rotatably mounted near one end of the connecting rod 234, and the second wiper 220 is rotatably mounted near the other end of the connecting rod 234. The connecting seat 235 is used to mount the drive unit of the wiper assembly 200. The connecting seat 235 is positioned in the middle of the connecting rod 234 to avoid spatial interference with the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220.

[0088] For example, the connecting seat 235 is a plate-shaped or column-shaped structure that is perpendicular to or intersects with the connecting rod 234, thereby making the main mounting part 231, the secondary mounting part 232 and the fixing part 233 arranged in a triangle.

[0089] In some embodiments, the wiper assembly 200 may further include a drive motor, which can be connected to the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 respectively via a linkage mechanism. When started, the drive motor can drive the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 to rotate relative to the connecting rod 234 via the linkage mechanism, thereby cleaning the windshield. The structure of the linkage mechanism and its connection to the first wiper 210 and the second wiper 220 can be determined according to the structure of existing vehicles, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0090] The sequence numbers of the embodiments in this application are for descriptive purposes only and do not represent the superiority or inferiority of the embodiments. The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
