Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roof rack technology, and in particular to a spoiler and a spoiler component for roof storage components. Background Technology

[0002] Some roof racks have spoilers attached to their front sides via brackets to create aerodynamic flow and reduce wind resistance caused by the roof rack at high speeds. Currently, the spoilers at the front of the roof rack are typically flat, straight panels. However, such flat spoilers have significant limitations in aerodynamics at the front of the roof rack. For example, during vehicle movement, airflow forms vortices on both sides of the spoiler. The turbulent movement of these vortices generates high-frequency wind noise, which intensifies with increasing vehicle speed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model is proposed to provide a spoiler and a spoiler component for roof storage assembly that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems, and can solve the problem that airflow easily forms vortex wind noise on the left and right sides of the spoiler, thereby improving the user experience.

[0004] Specifically, this utility model provides a spoiler, comprising:

[0005] The main board extends to the left and right, forming a forward-facing windward surface;

[0006] The wing section has two parts, which are respectively connected to or integrally formed at the left and right ends of the main body section. The front side of each wing section gradually tilts and / or bends backward in the direction away from the main body section.

[0007] Optionally, each of the said wingplate portions has:

[0008] The main wing plate is connected to the end of the main board section, and the main wing plate is flat or smooth arc plate.

[0009] A flap is connected to or integrally formed on the side of the main wing plate away from the main plate, and / or on the upper side of the main wing plate, and / or on the lower side of the main wing plate, and it gradually tilts or bends backward relative to the main wing plate in a direction away from the main wing plate.

[0010] Optionally, when the flap plate includes a first flap connected to or integrally formed on the side of the main flap plate away from the main plate, the first flap is formed by folding back the upper corner of the main flap plate away from the main plate; and / or,

[0011] In the case where the flap plate includes a second flap that is connected to or integrally formed on the lower side of the main wing plate, the second flap is equivalent to the main wing plate folding backward.

[0012] Optionally, the lower edge of each of the wing portions gradually slopes upward in a direction away from the main plate portion; and,

[0013] When the flap plate includes the second flap, the second flap extends along the lower edge of the flap portion and extends from the bottom of the flap portion to the bottom of the main plate portion, so that the second flap is exposed from the side of the main flap that is in contact with the main plate portion.

[0014] Optionally, the frontal surface of the main board portion defines a rearwardly recessed air guide groove in the center, the air guide groove being a through groove that runs vertically and gradually widens from bottom to top; and / or,

[0015] The central portion of the lower edge of the main board is higher than its two ends, thus defining a through-flow gap that runs from front to back.

[0016] Optionally, the spoiler is a plastic or metal plate made using a one-piece molding process, so that the two wing portions are integrally formed at the left and right ends of the main plate.

[0017] Optionally, the spoiler further includes:

[0018] The edge is folded back relative to the main body portion and the wing portion, and extends along the edge of the spoiler to cover the edge of the spoiler.

[0019] Optionally, the edge flange has a first upper edge portion located on the upper side of the main board portion and a second upper edge portion located on the upper side of the wing plate portion; wherein:

[0020] The width of the first upper edge portion in the front-back direction is greater than the width of the other portions of the edge flange, and the included angle between the first upper edge portion and the main board portion is greater than 90°;

[0021] The second upper edge portion has a transition section that connects with the first upper edge portion. The width of the transition section gradually decreases in the direction away from the first upper edge portion and gradually twists upward to a direction perpendicular to the wing plate portion.

[0022] Optionally, the two wing portions are further inclined upward in a direction away from the main board portion, so that each wing portion and the main board portion transitions via a sloping ridge; wherein the sloping ridge gradually inclines from bottom to top toward the center of the main board portion.

[0023] This utility model also provides a flow-disrupting component, including:

[0024] Spoilers as described in any of the above;

[0025] A connecting bracket is attached to the rear side of the spoiler and has a deformable portion for elastic or plastic deformation, so that, when the connecting bracket is fixed to the roof storage platform, the spoiler can be adjusted by pitching and swaying based on the deformation of the deformable portion.

[0026] In this invention, the spoiler and roof storage assembly features a wing-shaped component located at the left and right ends of the main body, tilted and bent backward. During vehicle operation, the airflow on both sides of the spoiler flows backward under the guidance of the wing-shaped component, avoiding the formation of "vortices" on both sides of the spoiler, a problem common in existing technologies. These turbulent vortex movements generate high-frequency wind noise, which intensifies with increasing vehicle speed, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the deformable portion allows the spoiler to be adjusted by pitching and swaying to accommodate rooftop platforms of varying heights within a certain range, enhancing its versatility.

[0036] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of a spoiler according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, and with reference Figures 2 to 3 This utility model provides a spoiler, including a main body portion 110 and a wing portion. The main body portion 110 extends left and right and forms a forward-facing windward surface. There are two wing portions, which are respectively connected or integrally formed at the left and right ends of the main body portion 110, and the front side of each wing portion gradually tilts and / or bends backward in the direction away from the main body portion 110.

[0037] The wing section is located at the left and right ends of the main body section 110 and is tilted and bent backward. When the vehicle is in motion, the airflow on the left and right sides of the spoiler will flow backward under the guidance of the wing section, avoiding the problem in the prior art where the airflow forms "vortices" on the left and right sides of the spoiler 10. The turbulent motion of the vortex generates high-frequency wind noise, and this high-frequency wind noise will intensify as the vehicle speed increases, thus improving the user experience.

[0038] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the front side of each wing portion gradually tilts backward in a direction away from the main body portion 110.

[0039] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the front side of each wing portion gradually curves backward in a direction away from the main body portion 110.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each wing section has a main wing plate 120 and a flap plate that are connected to the end of the main plate section 110. The main wing plate 120 is a smooth arc plate shape. The flap plate is connected to or integrally formed on the side of the main wing plate 120 away from the main plate section 110, on the upper side of the main wing plate 120, and on the lower side of the main wing plate 120, and gradually tilts or bends backward relative to the main wing plate 120 in the direction away from the main wing plate 120.

[0041] The flaps are designed to allow airflow over the main airfoil 120 to flow backward, which is more conducive to guiding the airflow on both sides of the spoiler to flow backward. This can further prevent the "vortex" formed on both sides of the spoiler 10 and avoid generating high-frequency wind noise.

[0042] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the main wing plate 120 is flat.

[0043] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the flap plate is connected to or integrally formed on the side of the main flap plate 120 away from the main plate portion 110.

[0044] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the flaps are connected to or integrally formed on the upper side of the main wing plate 120.

[0045] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the flaps are connected to or integrally formed on the underside of the main flap 120.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the flap plate includes a first flap 131 connected to or integrally formed on the side of the main flap 120 away from the main plate 110, the first flap 131 is formed by folding back the upper corner of the main flap 120 away from the main plate 110. Furthermore, when the flap plate includes a second flap 132 connected to or integrally formed on the lower side of the main flap 120, the second flap 132 is equivalent to the main flap 120 folding back.

[0047] The first flap 131 can change the direction of airflow, which helps guide the airflow over the upper side of the main wingplate 120 to flow out diagonally upward and backward of the main wingplate 120. The second flap 132 can change the direction of airflow, which helps guide the airflow over the lower side of the main wingplate 120 to flow out backward of the main wingplate 120.

[0048] In some other embodiments of the present invention, when the flap plate includes a first flap 131 connected to or integrally formed on the side of the main flap plate 120 away from the main plate portion 110, the first flap 131 is formed by folding the upper corner of the main flap plate 120 away from the main plate portion 110 backward.

[0049] In some other embodiments of the present invention, when the flap plate includes a second flap 132 connected to or integrally formed on the lower side of the main flap plate 120, the second flap 132 is equivalent to the main flap plate 120 folding backward.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower edge of each flap portion gradually slopes upward in a direction away from the main plate portion 110. Furthermore, when the flap includes a second flap 132, the second flap 132 extends along the lower edge of the flap portion and extends from the bottom of the flap portion to the bottom of the main plate portion 110, so that the second flap 132 protrudes from the side of the main flap 120 that is in contact with the main plate portion 110.

[0051] This configuration allows the airflow passing under the main wing 120 to flow out to the rear and lower part of the main wing 120. The outflowing airflow can also exert downward pressure on the vehicle, which helps to make the vehicle more stable during driving.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the windward side of the main board 110 is centrally defined by a rearwardly recessed air guide groove 111, which is a vertically continuous groove that gradually widens from bottom to top. Furthermore, the central portion of the lower edge of the main board 110 is higher than its two ends, thus centrally defining a front-to-back through-flow notch 112.

[0053] The portions of the main board section located on either side of the air guide slot 111 function as air deflectors. The air guide slot 111 guides the airflow toward the main board section 110, allowing the airflow to leave the roof more smoothly, thus reducing air resistance to some extent and generating downforce, resulting in smoother vehicle operation. The flow notch 112 facilitates the passage of airflow below the main board section 110, further reducing air resistance.

[0054] In other embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the windward side of the main board 110 defines a rearwardly recessed air guide groove 111 in the center. The air guide groove 111 is a through groove that runs vertically through the top and bottom, and it gradually widens from bottom to top.

[0055] In other embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the central portion of the lower edge of the motherboard portion 110 is higher than its two ends, thus defining the through-flow gap 112 that runs from front to back.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the spoiler 10 is a plastic sheet manufactured using an integral molding process, so that the two wing portions are integrally formed at the left and right ends of the main body portion 110. The plastic sheet is lightweight, easy to mold, and low in cost.

[0057] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the spoiler 10 is a metal plate made by a one-piece molding process.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spoiler 10 also includes an edge flange 300. The edge flange 300 is folded rearward relative to the main body portion 110 and the wing portion, and extends along the edge of the spoiler 10 to cover the entire edge of the spoiler 10. The edge flange 300 can increase the strength of the main body portion 110 and the wing portion, similar to the function of a reinforcing rib.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the edge flange 300 has a first upper edge portion 310 located above the main plate portion 110 and a second upper edge portion 320 located above the wing plate portion. Specifically, the width of the first upper edge portion 310 in the front-rear direction is greater than the width of other portions of the edge flange 300, and the angle between the first upper edge portion 310 and the main plate portion 110 is greater than 90°. The second upper edge portion 320 has a transition section 321 that connects to the first upper edge portion 310. The width of the transition section 321 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first upper edge portion 310 and gradually twists upwards to a direction perpendicular to the wing plate portion.

[0060] Since the main board portion 110 has the largest area and the most corresponding airflow, it also experiences the greatest airflow resistance. Therefore, the width of the first upper edge portion 310 is greater than the width of other parts of the edge flange 300. The angle between the first upper edge portion 310 and the main board portion 110 is greater than 90°, which helps guide the airflow blowing towards the main board portion 110 upwards at an angle, reducing air resistance and contributing to downforce. The transition section 321 guides a portion of the airflow passing through the first upper edge portion 310 towards the second upper edge portion 320, similarly reducing frontal air resistance of the main board portion 110.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two wing portions gradually slope upwards in the direction away from the main plate portion 110, so that each wing portion and the main plate portion 110 transitions via a sloping ridge portion 400. The sloping ridge portion 400 slopes gradually upwards towards the center of the main plate portion 110.

[0062] This configuration helps guide the airflow towards the wing section to flow out to the upper and lower sides while also flowing towards the upper side closer to the main body section 110, which can also reduce air resistance.

[0063] This utility model also provides a flow-disrupting component, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a spoiler 10 as described in any of the above embodiments and a connecting bracket 20. The connecting bracket 20 is connected to the rear side of the spoiler 10 and has a deformable portion 210 for plastic deformation, so that when the connecting bracket 20 is fixed to the roof storage platform, the spoiler 10 can be adjusted by pitching and swaying based on the deformation of the deformable portion 210.

[0064] The winglets are located at the left and right ends of the main body 110 and are tilted and bent backward. During vehicle operation, the airflow on both sides of the main body 110 is guided backward by the winglets, avoiding the "vortex" formed on both sides of the spoiler 10 in the prior art. The turbulent motion of the vortex generates high-frequency wind noise, which intensifies with increasing vehicle speed, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the deformable part 210 allows the spoiler 10 to be adjusted by pitching and swinging to be installed on roof platforms of different heights within a certain range, improving its versatility.

[0065] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the connecting bracket 20 has a deformable portion 210 for elastic deformation.

[0066] Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that although many exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications conforming to the principles of the present invention can be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
