Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle body technology, and in particular to a splash guard cleaning device and a vehicle equipped with it. Background Technology

[0002] Splash pads are decorative functional parts installed on vehicles. They are usually attached to the wheel arches of the vehicle body and are mainly used to prevent water, stones, mud, snow, and other debris spun up by the wheels from hitting the vehicle body.

[0003] However, when the vehicle is in use, snow or mud can easily stick to the surface of the splash pad. When too much snow or mud sticks to the surface of the splash pad, it will rub against the wheels and usually needs to be cleaned manually. Manual cleaning is troublesome and can only be done when the vehicle is parked, which is not conducive to improving the quality of vehicle use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application aims to provide a splash pad cleaning device to improve the quality of vehicle use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: A splash pad cleaning device is installed on a vehicle and corresponds to the splash pad in the vehicle, including a mounting carrier on the vehicle body, and a vibrating rod and a vibrating actuator on the mounting carrier; The vibration rod is slidably mounted on the mounting carrier. One end of the vibration rod extends toward the splash pad, and the other end of the vibration rod is connected to the vibration actuator. The vibration actuator can drive the vibration rod to slide back and forth so that the vibration rod applies a vibration force to the splash pad.

[0006] Furthermore, the vibration actuator includes a drive unit and a transmission unit connected between the drive unit and the vibration rod; under the drive unit's influence, the transmission unit can drive the vibration rod to slide back and forth.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive unit is a motor, and the transmission unit is an eccentric linkage mechanism.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission unit includes a transmission plate connected to the rotating shaft of the motor, and a transmission rod rotatably connected at one end to the transmission plate; the other end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the vibration rod, and the connection point between the transmission rod and the transmission plate is eccentrically positioned relative to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the transmission plate is directly connected to one end of the rotating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, a bullet is connected to one end of the vibration rod extending toward the splash pad, and the splash pad is provided with an elastically deformable pad block; the vibration rod contacts the pad block through the bullet, and applies the vibration force to the splash pad.

[0011] Furthermore, the pad has a protrusion that protrudes toward the side of the projectile. The protrusion is conical and has a recess at its top along the protrusion direction. The shape of the recess matches the shape of the projectile, and the projectile contacts the top of the pad in the protrusion direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the projectile is spherical; and / or, when the vibration actuator is in a stopped state, a gap exists between the projectile and the pad.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting carrier forms a closed cavity, the vibration rod and the vibration actuator are located in the cavity, and one end of the vibration rod extends out of the cavity and extends toward the splash pad.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, this application has the following advantages: (1) The splash pad cleaning device described in this application, by installing a vibration rod and a vibration actuator on the vehicle body, can apply vibration force to the splash pad under the synergistic action of the vibration rod and the vibration actuator, thereby timely removing snow or mud adhering to the splash pad, avoiding friction between snow or mud and the wheels, and also achieving self-cleaning of the splash pad, overcoming the shortcomings of manual cleaning, and thus improving the quality of vehicle use.

[0015] (2) The vibration actuator includes a drive unit and a transmission unit. Under the drive of the drive unit, the transmission unit drives the vibration rod to slide back and forth, which facilitates the design and preparation of the vibration actuator and helps to reduce the design and manufacturing costs of the device.

[0016] (3) The drive unit adopts a motor and the transmission unit adopts an eccentric linkage mechanism. The structure is simple and the technology is mature. This is not only conducive to the design of the drive unit and the transmission unit, but also to the adjustment and control of the vibration frequency applied to the vibrating rod through motor selection or motor controller design, which helps to ensure the effectiveness of the device.

[0017] (4) The transmission part includes a transmission plate connected to the motor shaft and a transmission rod rotatably connected to the transmission plate and the vibration rod respectively. The connection point between the transmission rod and the transmission plate is eccentrically set relative to the motor shaft, which can realize the conversion of the motor rotation to the linear reciprocating sliding of the vibration rod. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture and assemble, which helps to reduce the cost of the transmission part.

[0018] (5) Connecting the transmission plate directly to one end of the rotating shaft simplifies the connection between the transmission part and the motor compared to the indirect connection with the rotating shaft. This helps reduce the overall space occupied by the vibration actuator and facilitates the arrangement of the vibration actuator on the mounting carrier.

[0019] (6) A bullet is set at the end of the vibrating rod and a deformable pad is set on the splash pad. The vibration force is transmitted to the splash pad by the contact between the bullet and the pad. While realizing the transmission of vibration force, the collision noise between the vibrating rod and the splash pad can be reduced or even avoided. This is conducive to achieving the quietness of the cleaning device during use and can improve the quality of the device.

[0020] (7) A protrusion protruding towards the bullet side is provided on the pad, making the protrusion conical, and a pit is provided at the top of the protrusion, so that the bullet contacts the top of the pad, which can reduce the contact area between the bullet and the pad. This allows the pad to better transmit the vibration force of the vibration rod to the splash pad while reducing collision noise, which helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the splash pad.

[0021] (8) The bullet is spherical and can be designed to fit the top of the pad, which further enhances the transmission of vibration force from the vibrating rod to the pad and the splash pad, which helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the splash pad. At the same time, when the vibrating actuator stops, there is a gap between the bullet and the pad, which can prevent the cleaning device from contacting the splash pad due to vehicle vibration and causing collision noise, thus improving the quality of use of the cleaning device.

[0022] (9) The installation carrier has a closed cavity, and the vibrating rod and vibrating actuator are placed in the cavity. This can prevent the vibrating rod and vibrating actuator from being damaged by collision, and at the same time reduce the adverse effects of rainwater, mud and other factors on the cleaning device, which helps to improve the service life of the device.

[0023] Another object of this application is to provide a vehicle equipped with a splash guard cleaning device as described above.

[0024] The vehicle described in this application, through the installation of the splash pad cleaning device as described above, can promptly remove snow or adhering mud from the splash pad, preventing snow or mud from rubbing against the wheels. At the same time, it can also achieve self-cleaning of the splash pad, overcoming the shortcomings of manual cleaning, and thus improving the quality of vehicle use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical solution and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.

[0028] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this application, if terms such as "upper," "lower," "inner," or "outer" appear, indicating orientation or positional relationship, these are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on this application. In addition, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear, they are also used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] Furthermore, in the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly defined, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "connector" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application in light of the specific circumstances.

[0030] In this application, the terms "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example, which is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0031] The present application will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0032] An embodiment of the first aspect of this application provides a splash pad cleaning device, which is applied to a vehicle and is mainly used to clean debris adhering to the splash pad of the vehicle. Furthermore, the splash pad cleaning device in this embodiment, with its innovative structural design, can improve the quality of vehicle use.

[0033] In related technologies, splash guards are decorative functional components installed on vehicles. They are generally attached to the vehicle body and cover the wheel arches on the side facing the wheels. They are mainly used to prevent water, stones, mud, snow, and other debris spun up by the wheels from hitting the vehicle body.

[0034] However, when a vehicle is in use, snow or mud easily adheres to the surface of the splash pad. When the amount of snow or mud adhering to the splash pad is small, it can be removed from the surface of the splash pad by vibration and gravity as the vehicle moves. However, when there is too much snow or mud on the road, the amount of snow or mud adhering to the surface of the splash pad will fill the space between the splash pad and the wheel, eventually causing friction with the wheel. In this case, manual cleaning is usually required, which is troublesome, time-consuming and laborious, and can only be done when the vehicle is parked, which is not conducive to improving the quality of vehicle use.

[0035] In view of this, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the related technology, the splash-proof pad cleaning device of this embodiment combines... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in terms of overall design, it is installed on the vehicle and corresponds to the splash guard 1 in the vehicle, including the mounting carrier 2, the vibration rod 3 and the vibration actuator 4.

[0036] The mounting carrier 2 is mounted on the vehicle body, and the vibration rod 3 and the vibration actuator 4 are both mounted on the mounting carrier 2. The vibration rod 3 is slidably mounted on the mounting carrier 2, with one end of the vibration rod 3 extending toward the splash pad 1 and the other end of the vibration rod 3 connected to the vibration actuator 4. The vibration actuator 4 can drive the vibration rod 3 to slide back and forth so that the vibration rod 3 applies vibration force to the splash pad 1.

[0037] At this time, as set up above, by installing a vibration rod 3 and a vibration actuator 4 on the vehicle body, a vibration force can be applied to the splash pad 1 under the synergistic action of the vibration rod 3 and the vibration actuator 4, so as to remove the snow or mud on the splash pad 1 in time, avoid the snow or mud from rubbing against the wheels, and at the same time achieve the self-cleaning of the splash pad 1, overcome the shortcomings of manual cleaning, and help improve the quality of vehicle use.

[0038] Based on the above general introduction, specifically, the splash guard 1 in this embodiment is generally connected to the vehicle body and is set at the position corresponding to the wheel arch.

[0039] In specific implementation, the splash pad 1 mentioned above can be based on the existing splash pad 1 in vehicles (such as rubber splash pad 1, etc.), and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting carrier 2 of the splash pad cleaning device can be mounted on the vehicle body. It is only necessary to ensure that the end of its vibration rod 3 can apply vibration force to the splash pad 1 under the drive of the vibration actuator 4.

[0041] When the splash pad cleaning device in this embodiment is in use, the vibration actuator 4 can drive the vibration rod 3 to slide back and forth, and the vibration rod 3 applies vibration force to the splash pad 1. Under the action of the vibration force, the splash pad 1 also vibrates, thereby enabling the snow or mud and other debris adhering to the surface of the splash pad 1 to be removed from the surface of the splash pad 1.

[0042] Furthermore, in addition to being activated after debris adheres to the surface of the splash pad 1, the splash pad cleaning device in this embodiment can also be activated in advance before entering a section of road where debris is likely to adhere to the surface of the splash pad 1, so as to avoid excessive debris adhering to the surface of the splash pad 1.

[0043] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 4 ,as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, this embodiment may, for example, make the vibration actuator include a drive unit 401 and a transmission unit 402.

[0044] The transmission part 402 is connected between the drive part 401 and the vibration rod 3, and under the drive of the drive part 401, the transmission part 402 can drive the vibration rod 3 to slide back and forth.

[0045] It is understood that the vibration actuator 4 includes a drive unit 401 and a transmission unit 402. Under the drive of the drive unit 401, the transmission unit 402 drives the vibration rod 3 to slide back and forth, which facilitates the design and manufacture of the vibration actuator 4 and helps to reduce the design and manufacturing costs of the device.

[0046] In practical implementation, the drive unit 401 and the transmission unit 402 are both mounted on the mounting carrier 2, and the drive unit 401 and the transmission unit 402 are connected in transmission. One end of the vibration rod 3 is connected to the transmission unit 402, and the other end extends toward the splash pad 1.

[0047] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 4 ,as well as Figure 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the vibration actuator 4 includes a drive unit 401 and a transmission unit 402. In this embodiment, the drive unit 401 may be a motor and the transmission unit 402 may be an eccentric linkage mechanism.

[0048] Understandably, the use of a motor in the drive unit 401 and an eccentric linkage mechanism in the transmission unit 402 is simple in structure and mature in technology. This not only facilitates the design of the drive unit 401 and the transmission unit 402, but also makes it easier to adjust and control the frequency of the vibration force applied to the vibrating rod 3 through motor selection or motor controller design, which helps to ensure the effectiveness of the device.

[0049] In practical implementation, the power output end of the drive unit 401 is fixedly connected to the transmission unit 402, and the other end of the transmission unit 402 is connected to the vibration rod 3. When the drive unit 401 outputs power, the transmission unit 402 can rotate eccentrically, thereby driving the vibration rod 3 to slide back and forth.

[0050] Furthermore, the frequency of the vibration force applied by the above-mentioned vibration rod 3 is related to factors such as motor speed, eccentric connecting rod size, and vibration rod 3 size. In actual implementation, it can be set by adjusting the motor selection and motor controller settings, etc. In actual implementation, it needs to be set according to the specific design requirements of the vehicle.

[0051] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the drive unit 401 is still a motor and the transmission unit 402 is an eccentric linkage mechanism. In this embodiment, the transmission unit 402 may include a transmission plate 4021 connected to the rotating shaft 4011 of the motor, and a transmission rod 4022 with one end rotatably connected to the transmission plate 4021.

[0052] The other end of the transmission rod 4022 is rotatably connected to the vibration rod 3, and the connection point between the transmission rod 4022 and the transmission plate 4021 is eccentrically set relative to the rotating shaft 4011.

[0053] It is understood that the transmission part 402 includes a transmission plate 4021 connected to the motor shaft 4011, and a transmission rod 4022 rotatably connected to the transmission plate 4021 and the vibration rod 3 respectively. The connection point between the transmission rod 4022 and the transmission plate 4021 is eccentrically set relative to the motor shaft 4011, which can realize the conversion of the motor rotation to the linear reciprocating sliding of the vibration rod 3. The structure is simple, easy to manufacture and assemble, and helps to reduce the cost of the transmission part 402.

[0054] In a specific implementation, the transmission plate 4021 can, for example, be a circular plate structure. A first mounting hole is provided at the center of the transmission plate 4021, and a second mounting hole for connecting the transmission rod 4022 is provided on one side of the transmission plate 4021. Correspondingly, a first connecting post extending outwards is provided at one end of the transmission rod 4022. The transmission plate 4021 is mounted on the shaft 4011 of the drive unit 401 through the first mounting hole and connected to the first connecting post of the transmission rod 4022 through the second mounting hole. Preferably, the end of the transmission plate 4021 relative to the side with the second mounting hole can be omitted to facilitate lightweight vehicle design.

[0055] For example, a splined shaft can be connected to the power output end of the drive unit 401. The first mounting hole of the transmission plate 4021 is a splined hole, and the splined shaft is connected to the first mounting hole.

[0056] In addition, the transmission rod 4022 may be designed in a spindle shape, for example. The first section of the transmission rod 4022 is provided with a first connecting post, and the other end is provided with a third mounting hole for connecting the vibration rod 3. Correspondingly, a second connecting post is provided at the end of the vibration rod 3, and the second connecting post is connected in the third mounting hole.

[0057] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the transmission plate 4021 is still connected to the drive unit 401 as an example. In this embodiment, the transmission plate 4021 may be directly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 4011.

[0058] It is understandable that directly connecting the transmission plate 4021 to one end of the rotating shaft 4011 simplifies the connection between the transmission part 402 and the motor compared to the indirect connection with the rotating shaft 4011. This helps to reduce the overall space occupied by the vibration actuator 4 and facilitates the arrangement of the vibration actuator 4 on the mounting carrier 2.

[0059] In a specific implementation, the end of the rotating shaft 4011 is directly connected to the first mounting hole of the transmission plate 4021, and the transmission plate 4021 can rotate along with the rotating shaft 4011. Preferably, the end of the rotating shaft 4011 is constructed as a spline structure, and the first mounting hole that mates with it is also provided with a corresponding spline groove, and the end of the rotating shaft 4011 is directly connected to the first mounting hole.

[0060] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the vibrating rod 3 is still arranged to extend one end toward the splash pad 1, and in this embodiment, for example, the end of the vibrating rod 3 extending toward the splash pad 1 may be connected to the bullet head 301.

[0061] The splash pad 1 is provided with a deformable pad block 6, and the vibration rod 3 contacts the pad block 6 through the bullet head 301 to apply vibration force to the splash pad 1.

[0062] It is understandable that a bullet 301 is provided at the end of the vibrating rod 3, and an elastically deformable pad 6 is provided on the splash pad 1. The vibration force is transmitted to the splash pad 1 by the contact between the bullet 301 and the pad 6. While realizing the transmission of vibration force, the collision noise between the vibrating rod 3 and the splash pad 1 can be reduced or even avoided, which is conducive to achieving the quietness of the cleaning device during use and can improve the quality of the device.

[0063] In practical implementation, as the vibration actuator drives the vibration rod 3 to slide back and forth, the bullet head 301 can continuously contact the pad 6, thereby transmitting vibration force to the splash pad 1. The pad 6 can be made of rubber, for example, and is bonded to the splash pad 1. Preferably, the pad 6 can be directly molded onto the splash pad 1.

[0064] When the pad 6 is bonded to the splash pad 1, an adhesive groove can be provided on the side where the pad 6 is bonded to the splash pad 1. Adhesive is placed in the adhesive groove so that there are no gaps between the pad 6 and the splash pad 1 when the pad 6 is bonded to the splash pad 1. In actual implementation, the adhesive groove can be a ring around the circumference of the pad 6.

[0065] In addition to rubber, the pad 6 can also be made of other elastically deformable materials (such as flat springs) as described in related technologies, as long as it can transmit vibration force.

[0066] In addition, the thickness of the pad 6 is affected by the vibration frequency of the vibration actuator, as well as the material and size of the warhead 301. In actual implementation, it needs to be set according to the specific design requirements of the vehicle.

[0067] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, the splash pad 1 is still provided with a pad block 6 as an example. In this embodiment, for example, the pad block 6 may be provided with a protrusion 601.

[0068] The protrusion 601 protrudes towards the bullet 301 and is cone-shaped. A recess 602 is provided at the top of the protrusion 601 along the protrusion direction. The shape of the recess 602 is adapted to the shape of the bullet 301, and the bullet 301 contacts the top of the pad block 6 in the protrusion direction.

[0069] Understandably, the protrusion 601 protruding towards the bullet 301 on the pad 6 makes the protrusion 601 conical, and a recess 602 is provided at the top of the protrusion 601. At the same time, the bullet 301 contacts the top of the pad 6, which can reduce the contact area between the bullet 301 and the pad 6. This allows the pad 6 to better transmit the vibration force of the vibration rod 3 to the splash pad 1 while reducing collision noise, which helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the splash pad 1.

[0070] In specific implementation, the pad 6 can be, for example, in the shape of a disc. The protrusion 601 is located at the center of the pad 6 and protrudes towards the bullet 301. The top of the protrusion 601 is provided with a recess 602. When the bullet 301 contacts the protrusion 601, the surfaces of the bullet 301 and the protrusion 601 are in contact with the surface of the recess 602.

[0071] Furthermore, the dimensions of the protrusion 601 are related to factors such as the dimensions of the pad 6, the dimensions of the bullet 301, and the distance between the pad 6 and the bullet 301. In actual implementation, these dimensions need to be set according to the design requirements of the vehicle.

[0072] In addition, a damping cavity is formed between the pad 6 and the splash pad 1. The damping cavity is provided with reinforcing ribs 603 so that when the vibration rod 3 transmits vibration force to the pad 6, the vibration force can be transmitted to the splash pad 1 along the connection position between the pad 6 and the splash pad 1, thereby reducing the hard contact between the vibration rod 3 and the splash pad 1 and helping to ensure the connection stability between the splash pad 1 and the vehicle body.

[0073] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, still taking the splash pad 1 with a pad block 6 as an example, this embodiment may make the projectile 301 spherical.

[0074] Understandably, the spherical shape of the bullet 301, which can be combined with the design of the recess 602 on the top of the pad 6, further enhances the transmission of the vibration force of the vibrating rod 3 to the pad 6 and the splash pad 1, and helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the splash pad 1.

[0075] In practical implementation, the above-mentioned projectile 301 is fixedly installed at the end of the vibrating rod 3, and along the extension direction of the vibrating rod 3, the projection area of ​​the vibrating rod 3 falls within the projection area of ​​the projectile 301.

[0076] Furthermore, the above-mentioned projectile 301 and the above-mentioned vibrating rod 3 can be integrally formed, such that the vibrating rod 3 has a rod-shaped structure with a spherical projectile 301 at one end, so as to facilitate the processing and manufacturing of the vibrating rod 3 and the spherical projectile.

[0077] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, taking the splash pad 1 with a pad block 6 as an example, this embodiment allows for a gap between the bullet head 301 and the pad block 6 when the vibration actuator 4 is in a stopped state.

[0078] Understandably, when the vibration actuator 4 stops, a gap is left between the bullet 301 and the pad 6 to prevent the cleaning device from contacting the splash pad 1 due to vehicle vibration and causing collision noise, thus improving the quality of use of the cleaning device.

[0079] In actual implementation, the gap between the projectile 301 and the pad 6 is affected by factors such as the size of the projectile 301, the size of the pad 6, and the sliding stroke length of the vibration rod 3. In actual implementation, it is necessary to make the corresponding selection according to the design requirements of the vehicle.

[0080] Preferably, the size of the gap should be such that when the sliding stroke of the vibrating rod 3 ends, the bullet 301 can abut against the pad 6 and squeeze the pad 6 to transmit vibration force to the pad 6.

[0081] Continue to combine Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in some exemplary embodiments, this embodiment may, for example, allow a closed cavity to be formed within the mounting carrier 2.

[0082] Both the vibrating rod 3 and the vibrating actuator 4 are located inside the cavity, and one end of the vibrating rod 3 extends out of the cavity and extends toward the splash pad 1.

[0083] It is understandable that having a closed cavity for the mounting carrier 2 and placing the vibrating rod 3 and the vibrating actuator 4 inside the cavity can prevent the vibrating rod 3 and the vibrating actuator 4 from being damaged by collisions. At the same time, it can also reduce the adverse effects of rainwater, mud, etc. on the cleaning device, and help to improve the service life of the device.

[0084] In a specific implementation, the mounting carrier 2 includes a housing 201 with a closed cavity inside, and a mounting base plate 202 provided on one side of the housing 201. The housing 201 has a through hole on the side facing the splash pad 1 that communicates with the closed cavity. The end of the vibration rod 3 extending toward the splash pad 1 extends out of the housing 201 from the through hole. The mounting base plate 202 is used to mount the housing 201 onto the vehicle body. In actual implementation, the mounting base plate 202 has bolt through holes, and the housing 201 can be assembled onto the vehicle body sheet metal 5 by bolts passing through the bolt through holes.

[0085] In addition, a sealing structure is provided between the above-mentioned vibrating rod 3 and the housing 201. In this embodiment, the sealing structure can be, for example, a sealing ring. In order to facilitate the sliding of the vibrating rod 3, grease is applied to the surface of the vibrating rod 3 so that the vibrating rod 3 can reciprocate within the sealing ring.

[0086] In addition, a wiring harness through hole is provided at the bottom of the housing 201 to facilitate the connection of the wiring harness of the drive unit 401 to the vehicle's power supply components (such as batteries), and the wiring harness through hole is also sealed.

[0087] It is worth noting that, regarding the splash-proof pad cleaning device of this embodiment, based on the above exemplary embodiments, in specific implementation, as a preferred embodiment, it is still composed of... Figures 1 to 9 As shown, it may include, for example, a mounting carrier 2, a vibrating rod 3, a vibrating actuator 4, and a pad 6.

[0088] The mounting carrier 2 is mounted on the vehicle body, and the vibration rod 3 and the vibration actuator 4 are both located inside the mounting carrier 2. The vibration rod 3 is slidably mounted on the mounting carrier 2, with one end of the vibration rod 3 extending toward the splash pad 1 and the other end of the vibration rod 3 connected to the vibration actuator 4.
