Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of roof rack accessories technology, and in particular to a spoiler accessory and its connecting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Some roof platforms have spoilers attached to their front sides via connecting brackets to reduce wind resistance and noise after installation, such as the prior Korean patent KR300516626S - wind deflector. Currently, spoilers are typically fixed to the front of the roof platform at a fixed angle by connecting brackets. However, this fixed-angle installation method has significant limitations in terms of universal installation across different roofs and roof platforms. For example, when there is a large gap between the roof platform and the roof cover, the lower edge of the spoiler will detach from the roof cover, causing airflow to lift the lower edge of the spoiler during vehicle movement, thus increasing wind resistance and noise. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above problems, this utility model is proposed to provide a spoiler accessory and a connecting bracket therein that overcome or at least partially solve the above problems, thereby solving the problem of poor applicability of existing spoiler accessories and achieving the goal of improving user experience.

[0005] Platform connection section, used to connect the roof platform;

[0006] A plate connecting portion for connecting the spoiler, wherein the plate connecting portion and the platform connecting portion are integrally formed or connected together; and...

[0007] The platform connection and / or the plate connection has a deformable structure, which is used to cause all or part of the plate connection to swing elastically and / or plastically relative to all or part of the platform connection, so as to cause the spoiler to swing relative to the roof platform.

[0008] Optionally, when the plate connection portion has the deformable structure, the plate connection portion includes:

[0009] The first sub-connecting part is integrally disposed on or connected to the platform connecting part;

[0010] The second sub-connecting part is used to connect the spoiler;

[0012] Optionally, both the first sub-connecting portion and the second sub-connecting portion are in the form of a support or a rigid connection portion. The second sub-connecting portion has a vertically extending support wall on its front side. The support wall is used to abut against the rear side of the spoiler and extends upward to form the deformable structure and then connects to the first sub-connecting portion, so as to form a rearwardly opening deformable clearance groove on the upper side of the second sub-connecting portion, the rear side of the deformable structure and the lower side of the first sub-connecting portion.

[0013] Optionally, a first connecting hole extending from front to back is defined on the support wall, the first connecting hole being used to connect or rivet the spoiler by bolts; and the first sub-connecting part further includes a rear wall, the rear wall being integrally formed parallel to or connected to the rear side of the support wall, and the rear wall and the support wall forming a first cavity extending from left to right, the number of the first cavity being greater than or equal to the number of the first connecting holes, and each first connecting hole corresponding to one first cavity.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom of the second sub-connector has a hook portion on the front side of the support wall and a slope portion on the rear side of the support wall; wherein the slope portion gradually slopes upward from front to back; and,

[0015] The bottom of the second sub-connector is connected to a soft pad, which extends rearward from the bottom of the hook to the slope surface, and the soft pad is pressed against the roof by the second sub-connector.

[0016] Optionally, when the first sub-connecting part is connected to the platform connecting part, a second cavity extending through the left and right sides is defined on the first sub-connecting part. The second cavity has a T-shaped sub-cavity that is narrower at the front than at the rear, so as to facilitate the flange nut to be fitted into it in a complementary manner. Furthermore, a second connecting hole is defined on the rear cavity wall of the T-shaped sub-cavity. The second connecting hole is used for connecting bolts to pass through and connect to the flange nut, thereby facilitating the bolt connection of the first sub-connecting part to the platform connecting part.

[0017] Optionally, the first sub-connector is a triangle or trapezoid with its top facing forward and its base extending vertically, and there are two T-shaped sub-cavities, located on the upper and lower sides of the first sub-connector respectively, with a third cavity extending horizontally between the two T-shaped sub-cavities; and / or,

[0018] The platform connection portion defines a first connecting elongated hole extending vertically, and the first connecting elongated hole and the second connecting hole are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence, and are used for the connection bolt and the flange nut to connect.

[0019] Optionally, when the platform connecting portion is detachably connected to the rear side of the plate connecting portion, the platform connecting portion is L-shaped and has a first sidewall and a second sidewall. A first detachable connecting portion for detachably connecting the plate connecting portion is formed on the first sidewall, and a second detachable connecting portion for detachably connecting the roof platform is formed on the second sidewall. The first detachable connecting portion is configured such that it can be connected to the plate connecting portion in both the upper and lower loading states of the platform connecting portion. In the upper loading state, the second sidewall is located above the first sidewall, and in the lower loading state, the second sidewall is located below the first sidewall.

[0020] Optionally, the platform connection portion has a second sidewall extending forward and backward, and the second sidewall defines two second connecting elongated holes spaced apart from each other, the two second connecting elongated holes extending forward and backward in parallel; wherein each of the second connecting elongated holes is used for bolting to the roof platform.

[0021] This utility model also provides a spoiler accessory for connection to the front side of a vehicle roof platform, comprising:

[0022] The connecting bracket as described in any of the preceding claims is used to connect to the front side of the roof platform;

[0023] A spoiler, connected to the front side of the connecting bracket, and used to obscure the front side of the roof rack cavity from front to rear at a gradually upward angle; wherein the roof rack cavity is located between the roof platform and the roof cover; and,

[0024] Within the swing stroke of the deformable structure of the connecting bracket, the included angle between the spoiler and the roof is between 100° and 160°.

[0025] In this utility model's spoiler accessory and its connecting bracket, the spoiler is typically fixed to the front of the roof platform at a fixed tilt angle by the connecting bracket. However, different roof platforms have different distances from the roof, making spoilers incompatible. In this embodiment, a deformable structure is provided on the platform connecting part of the roof platform or the plate connecting part of the spoiler. This deformable structure can deform, allowing the plate connecting part to swing relative to the roof platform. This allows the spoiler to cooperate with roof platforms with higher heights, ensuring that the lower side of the spoiler does not detach from the roof, or to cooperate with roof platforms with lower heights, ensuring installation and increasing the spoiler's versatility. For example, if the distance between a roof platform and the roof is small, the spoiler can swing forward, increasing the angle between the spoiler and the roof, reducing the spoiler's height, and ensuring installation. If the distance between the other roof platform and the roof is large, the spoiler can swing rearward, reducing the angle between the spoiler and the roof, increasing the spoiler's height, and ensuring that the lower side of the spoiler does not detach from the roof. This design allows the spoiler to work with roof platforms of different heights within a certain range. It avoids the situation in existing technologies where, when the distance between the roof platform and the roof is large, the lower side of the spoiler detaches from the roof, causing airflow to lift the lower edge of the spoiler during vehicle movement, leading to increased wind resistance and noise. Alternatively, it avoids the situation where, when the distance between the roof platform and the roof is small, the spoiler cannot be installed.

[0037] Figure 1 This is a schematic structural diagram of the connecting bracket 10 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 embodiment provides a connecting bracket 10 for mounting a spoiler 20 on a vehicle roof platform, including a platform connecting portion 100 and a plate connecting portion 200. The platform connecting portion 100 is used to connect to the vehicle roof platform. The plate connecting portion 200 is used to connect the spoiler 20, and the plate connecting portion 200 and the platform connecting portion 100 are integrally formed or connected together. Furthermore, the platform connecting portion 100 and / or the plate connecting portion 200 have a deformable structure 300, which is used to cause all or part of the plate connecting portion 200 to plastically deform and swing relative to all or part of the platform connecting portion 100, thereby causing the spoiler 20 to swing relative to the vehicle roof platform.

[0038] The spoiler 20 is typically fixed to the front of the roof platform by the connecting bracket 10 at a fixed tilt angle. However, different roof platforms have different distances from the roof, making the spoiler 20 unusable. In this embodiment, a deformable structure is provided on the platform connecting part 100 connecting the roof platform or the plate connecting part 200 connecting the spoiler 20. This deformable structure can deform, allowing the plate connecting part 200 to swing relative to the roof platform, thereby allowing the spoiler 20 to swing relative to the roof platform. This allows the spoiler 20 to cooperate with roof platforms with a relatively high height, ensuring that the lower side of the spoiler 20 does not detach from the roof, or to cooperate with roof platforms with a relatively low height, ensuring installation and increasing the spoiler's versatility. For example, if the distance between a roof platform and the roof is small, the spoiler 20 can swing forward, increasing the angle between the spoiler 20 and the roof, reducing the height of the spoiler 20, and ensuring installation. If the distance between the other roof platform and the roof is large, the spoiler 20 can swing rearward, reducing the angle between the spoiler 20 and the roof, increasing the height of the spoiler 20, and ensuring that the lower side of the spoiler 20 does not detach from the roof. This design allows the spoiler 20 to work with roof platforms of different heights within a certain range. It avoids the situation in the prior art where, when the distance between the roof platform and the roof is large, the lower side of the spoiler 20 detaches from the roof, causing airflow to lift the lower edge of the spoiler 20 during vehicle operation, leading to increased wind resistance and noise. Alternatively, it avoids the situation where, when the distance between the roof platform and the roof is small, the spoiler 20 cannot be installed.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, preferably, the deformable structure is made of plastic.

[0040] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the deformable structure 300 is used to cause all or part of the plate connection portion 200 to swing elastically relative to all or part of the platform connection portion 100.

[0041] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the deformable structure 300 is used to cause all or part of the plate connection portion 200 to swing elastically and plastically relative to all or part of the platform connection portion 100.

[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1As shown, when the plate connection portion 200 has a deformable structure 300, the plate connection portion 200 includes a first sub-connection portion 210, a second sub-connection portion 220, and the deformable structure 300. The first sub-connection portion 210 is integrally disposed on or connected to the platform connection portion 100. The second sub-connection portion 220 is used to connect the spoiler 20. The first sub-connection portion 210 is integrally disposed on or connected to the second sub-connection portion 220 via the deformable structure 300, and the deformable structure 300 is a strip structure made of a plastic material, so that the deformable structure 300 can swing about an axis extending in the bandwidth direction.

[0043] The deformable structure 300 is a strip structure made of plastic material, which allows the second sub-connecting part 220 to swing relative to the first sub-connecting part 210 along the axis extending in the bandwidth direction, that is, swinging in the front-back direction. The first sub-connecting part 210 is disposed on or connected to the platform connecting part 100 and the second sub-connecting part 220 is used to connect the spoiler 20, which allows the spoiler 20 to swing back and forth along the roof.

[0044] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the deformable structure 300 is a strip structure made of an elastic material. In other other embodiments of the present invention, the deformable structure 300 is a strip structure made of both elastic and shaping materials.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, both the first sub-connecting portion 210 and the second sub-connecting portion 220 are support-shaped. The second sub-connecting portion 220 has a vertically extending support wall 221 on its front side. The support wall 221 abuts against the rear side of the spoiler 20 and extends upward to form a deformable structure 300, which then connects to the first sub-connecting portion 210. This forms a rearwardly opening deformable clearance groove 400 on the upper side of the second sub-connecting portion 220, the rear side of the deformable structure 300, and the lower side of the first sub-connecting portion 210. The deformable clearance groove 400 provides space for the second sub-connecting portion 220 to swing closer to the first sub-connecting portion 210. When it is necessary to push the spoiler 20 forward or backward to adjust its angle, the second sub-connecting portion 220 swings closer to the first sub-connecting portion 210, causing the opening of the deformable clearance groove 400 to narrow. When it is necessary to pull the spoiler 20 forward to adjust the angle of the spoiler 20, the second sub-connection 220 swings away from the first sub-connection 210, which will cause the opening of the deformation clearance groove 400 to open wider.

[0046] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the first sub-connecting portion 210 and the second sub-connecting portion 220 are both rigid connecting portions.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2As shown, a first connecting hole 222 extending from front to back is defined on the support wall 221. The first connecting hole 222 is used to connect or rivet the spoiler 20 by bolts. Furthermore, the first sub-connecting part 210 also includes a rear wall 223, which is integrally formed parallel to or connected to the rear side of the support wall 221, and forms a first cavity 224 extending from left to right between the rear wall 223 and the support wall 221. The number of first cavities 224 is greater than or equal to the number of first connecting holes 222, and each first connecting hole 222 corresponds to one first cavity 224. Bolts pass through the mounting holes and the first connecting holes 222 on the spoiler to detachably screw the spoiler 20 to the support wall 221; alternatively, rivets pass through the mounting holes and the first connecting holes 222 on the spoiler to rivet the spoiler 20 to the support wall 221. The arrangement of multiple first cavities 224 provides space for the installation of bolts or rivets, enables the parts to be lightweight, and also improves the support strength of the second sub-connection 220.

[0048] In some embodiments of this invention, the bottom of the second sub-connector 220 has a hook portion 225 located on the front side of the support wall 221 and a slope portion 226 located on the rear side of the support wall 221. The slope portion 226 gradually slopes upwards from front to rear. Furthermore, a soft pad is connected to the bottom of the second sub-connector 220, extending rearwards from the bottom of the hook portion 225 onto the slope portion 226, and the soft pad is pressed against the roof by the second sub-connector 220.

[0049] The hook portion 225 is located at the bottom of the spoiler 20 and is used to support the spoiler 20. The slope portion 226 serves as a contact surface when the spoiler 20 swings forward, ensuring the spoiler 20 is stably positioned. The padding prevents the hook portion 225 or the slope portion 226 from abrading the paint surface when the spoiler 20 is adjusted, and also helps to prevent the connecting bracket from springing back after the spoiler 20 is in position.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, when the first sub-connecting portion 210 is connected to the platform connecting portion 100, a second cavity 211 extending through the left and right sides is defined on the first sub-connecting portion 210. The second cavity 211 has a T-shaped sub-cavity 212 that is narrower at the front than at the rear, so as to facilitate the flange nut to be fitted into it in a complementary manner. Furthermore, a second connecting hole 213 is defined on the rear cavity wall of the T-shaped sub-cavity 212. The second connecting hole 213 is used for connecting bolts to pass through and connect to the flange nut, thereby facilitating the bolt connection of the first sub-connecting portion 210 to the platform connecting portion 100.

[0051] The second cavity 211 provides installation space for bolt connections. In particular, the T-shaped sub-cavity 212 is specifically designed for flange nuts, facilitating flange nut installation and improving installation efficiency. The bolt passes through the second connecting hole 213 to connect the first sub-connecting part 210 to the platform connecting part 100, and then screws it onto the flange nut to achieve a bolted connection between the first sub-connecting part 210 and the platform connecting part 100.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first sub-connecting portion 210 is triangular or trapezoidal with its top facing forward and its bottom extending vertically. It has two T-shaped sub-cavities 212, located on the upper and lower sides of the first sub-connecting portion 210 respectively. A third cavity 214, extending horizontally, is provided between the two T-shaped sub-cavities 212 at intervals. Furthermore, the platform connecting portion 100 defines a first connecting elongated hole 110 extending vertically. The first connecting elongated hole 110 and the second connecting hole 213 are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence and are used for connecting bolts and flange nuts.

[0053] Two T-shaped cavities 212 located on the upper and lower sides of the first sub-connecting part 210 correspond to a second connecting hole 213, which in turn correspond one-to-one with the first connecting elongated holes 110. Two bolts pass through the corresponding first connecting elongated holes 110 and second connecting holes 213, respectively, and are then connected to the flange nut to achieve a screw connection between the first sub-connecting part 210 and the platform connecting part 100. Obviously, the connection method of the upper and lower bolts makes the connection between the first sub-connecting part 210 and the platform connecting part 100 more stable. The setting of the first connecting elongated holes 110 can also adjust the relative height between the first sub-connecting part 210 and the platform connecting part 100.

[0054] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the first sub-connecting part 210 is a triangle or trapezoid with the top facing forward and the bottom side extending vertically, and there are two T-shaped sub-cavities 212. The two T-shaped sub-cavities 212 are located on the upper and lower sides of the first sub-connecting part 210 respectively, and a third cavity 214 that runs through the left and right is provided at intervals between the two T-shaped sub-cavities 212.

[0055] In some other embodiments of this utility model, the platform connecting part 100 defines a first connecting elongated hole 110 extending vertically, the first connecting elongated hole 110 and the second connecting hole 213 are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence, and are used to connect bolts and flange nuts.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, when the platform connecting portion 100 is detachably connected to the rear side of the plate connecting portion 200, the platform connecting portion 100 is L-shaped and has a first side wall 130 and a second side wall 120. A first detachable connecting portion for detachably connecting the plate connecting portion 200 is formed on the first side wall 130, and a second detachable connecting portion for detachably connecting the roof platform is formed on the second side wall 120. The first detachable connecting portion is configured to connect to the plate connecting portion 200 in both the upper and lower body states of the platform connecting portion 100. Specifically, in the upper body state, the second side wall 120 is located above the first side wall 130, and in the lower body state, the second side wall 120 is located below the first side wall 130.

[0057] Some roof platforms have mounting slots on their lower surface, while others have them on their upper surface. To accommodate various roof platforms, the platform connection 100 can have both an upper and lower configuration. Neither configuration affects the connection between the first detachable connection and the panel connection 200. This design allows the connecting bracket 10 to be installed on a wider range of roof platforms, increasing its versatility.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the platform connection portion 100 has a second sidewall 120 extending forward and backward, and two second connecting elongated holes 140 spaced apart from each other are defined on the second sidewall 120. The two second connecting elongated holes 140 extend forward and backward in parallel. Each second connecting elongated hole 140 is used for bolt connection to the roof platform.

[0059] Some roof platforms have only one mounting slot corresponding to the platform connection part 100. In this case, one of the two spaced-apart second connecting elongated holes 140 can be used to install the roof platform, with the second connecting elongated hole 140 perpendicular to the mounting slot. Other roof platforms have two mounting slots corresponding to the platform connection part 100. In this case, one of the two spaced-apart second connecting elongated holes 140 can be used simultaneously, each corresponding to one mounting slot. This configuration also increases the versatility of the connecting bracket 10 installation. The second connecting elongated holes 140 can also be used to adjust the front and rear mounting position of the spoiler.

[0060] This utility model also provides a spoiler accessory for connecting to the front side of a vehicle roof platform, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the system includes a connecting bracket 10 and a spoiler 20 as described in any of the above embodiments. The connecting bracket 10 is used to connect to the front side of the roof platform. The spoiler 20 is connected to the front side of the connecting bracket 10 and is used to gradually tilt upwards from front to rear, obscuring the front side of the roof rack cavity. The roof rack cavity is located between the roof platform and the roof cover. Furthermore, within the swing stroke of the deformable structure 300 of the connecting bracket 10, the angle between the spoiler 20 and the roof cover is between 100° and 160°.

[0061] The spoiler 20 is typically fixed to the front of the roof platform by the connecting bracket 10 at a fixed tilt angle. However, different roof platforms have different distances from the roof, making the spoiler 20 unusable. In this embodiment, a deformable structure is provided on the platform connecting part 100 connecting the roof platform or the plate connecting part 200 connecting the spoiler 20. This deformable structure can deform, allowing the plate connecting part 200 to swing relative to the roof platform, thereby allowing the spoiler 20 to swing relative to the roof platform. This allows the spoiler 20 to cooperate with roof platforms with a relatively high height, ensuring that the lower side of the spoiler 20 does not detach from the roof, or to cooperate with roof platforms with a relatively low height, ensuring installation and increasing the spoiler's versatility. For example, if the distance between a roof platform and the roof is small, the spoiler 20 can swing forward, increasing the angle between the spoiler 20 and the roof, reducing the height of the spoiler 20, and ensuring installation. If the distance between the other roof platform and the roof is large, the spoiler 20 can swing rearward, reducing the angle between the spoiler 20 and the roof, increasing the height of the spoiler 20, and ensuring that the lower side of the spoiler 20 does not detach from the roof. This design allows the spoiler 20 to work with roof platforms of different heights within a certain range. It avoids the situation in the prior art where, when the distance between the roof platform and the roof is large, the lower side of the spoiler 20 detaches from the roof, causing airflow to lift the lower edge of the spoiler 20 during vehicle operation, leading to increased wind resistance and noise. Alternatively, it avoids the situation where, when the distance between the roof platform and the roof is small, the spoiler 20 cannot be installed.

[0062] 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.
