[0035] A vehicle includes a cab, a cargo box located behind the cab, and a shroud located on top of the cab. The shroud is used to reduce air resistance generated by the cargo box. Current shrouds only accommodate cargo boxes of a specific height. If the cargo box height changes, a new shroud must be developed to match it, increasing shroud development costs. This application proposes a shroud designed to accommodate a wider range of cargo box heights, thereby reducing shroud development costs.

[0036] 1 to 5 , in one embodiment of the present application, the air deflector 100 includes a support cover 200, an adjustment and matching structure 400, an adjustment cover 300, and an adjustment structure 500. The support cover 200 is used to be arranged on the roof of a vehicle. The support cover 200 includes two support plates 220 arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions of the air deflector 100, and a first air deflector 210 connecting the two support plates 220. The adjustment and matching structure 400 is arranged on the support cover 200, and the adjustment and matching structure 400 is provided with a mounting position. The adjustment cover 300 includes a second air deflector 310 arranged at the rear of the first air deflector 210. The adjustment structure 500 is arranged on the second air deflector 310, and one of the adjustment structure 500 and the mounting position is provided with a plurality of adjustment positions 511 for the other to select and match, so that the air deflector 100 has at least a first state and a second state of different heights. In this way, when the vehicle is driving, airflow can flow through the first deflector 210 and the second deflector 310 in sequence. Under the guiding effect of the first deflector 210 and the second deflector 310, the air resistance encountered by the vehicle during driving can be effectively reduced. For cargo boxes of different heights, the user can select an adjustment position 511 to make the adjustment structure 500 and the adjustment matching structure 400 cooperate to change the position of the second deflector 310 relative to the first deflector 210, thereby adjusting the height of the rear portion of the second deflector 310, thereby allowing the deflector 100 to have at least a first state and a second state of different heights. In this way, in the first state, the deflector 100 can correspond to a cargo box of one height, and in the second state, the deflector 100 can correspond to a cargo box of another height. Therefore, the deflector 100 can match a wide variety of cargo boxes of different heights, thereby reducing the development cost of the deflector 100. It is understood that the deflector 100 can also have a third state, switching between the first state, the second state, and the third state in sequence, and the height of the deflector 100 gradually increases. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the adjustment structure 500 is provided on the second deflector 310, which helps to improve the ability of the second deflector 310 to resist wind pressure, so that when the airflow flows through the second deflector 310, the second deflector 310 will not easily deform, thereby allowing the deflector 100 to maintain a good deflection effect. In addition, when adjusting the height of the deflector 100, only the adjustment cover 300 needs to be adjusted, and there is no need to adjust the support cover 200. That is, when adjusting the deflector 100, the user will not be affected by the weight of the first deflector 210 and the two support plates 220, making it easier for the user to adjust the deflector 100.

[0037] It should be noted that the air duct 100 is installed at the rear of the vehicle, the left-right direction of the vehicle is the left-right direction of the air duct 100 , and the front-back direction of the vehicle is the front-back direction of the air duct 100 .

[0038] In one embodiment, multiple adjustment structures 500 are provided, and multiple mounting locations are provided, with one adjustment structure 500 corresponding to one mounting location. This helps further improve the ability of the second deflector 310 to resist wind pressure, so that when air flows through the second deflector 310, the second deflector 310 will not easily deform, thereby maintaining a good deflection effect of the deflector 100.

[0039] There are many ways to arrange the multiple adjustment structures 500. In one embodiment, the adjustment structure 500 is located at the rear of the second deflector 310 and on the bottom wall of the second deflector 310. The multiple adjustment structures 500 are spaced apart in the left and right directions of the air deflector 100. In this way, the adjustment structure 500 can provide better support for the second deflector 310, further improving the ability of the second deflector 310 to resist wind pressure. This prevents the second deflector 310 from easily deforming when air flows through the second deflector 310, thereby maintaining a good air deflection effect for the air deflector 100. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adjustment structure 500 may be located in the middle of the second deflector 310; and / or on the top wall of the second deflector 310; and / or the multiple adjustment structures 500 may be spaced apart in the front-to-back direction of the air deflector 100.

[0040] In one embodiment, the two ends of the adjustment and engagement structure 400 are respectively connected to the two support plates 220. This helps to improve the structural strength of the support cover 200, thereby improving the structural stability of the deflector 100. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adjustment and engagement structure 400 can also be provided on the first deflector plate 210.

[0041] The specific structural forms of the adjustment and fitting structure 400 are various. In one embodiment, the adjustment and fitting structure 400 includes an adjustment and fitting segment with a mounting position and two support segments. One end of each support segment is connected to the two ends of the adjustment and fitting segment, and the other end of each support segment extends downward to connect to the two support plates 220. The support segment is provided with multiple connection points for fixed connection to the corresponding support plates 220. This further improves the structural strength of the support cover 200 and facilitates the structural stability of the air deflector 100. It is worth noting that the fixed connection can be, but is not limited to, a snap connection or screw connection.

[0042] In one embodiment, the adjustment structure 500 is bent to have a plurality of bent sections 510. This helps to improve the structural strength of the adjustment structure 500 and thus increase the service life of the adjustment structure 500. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adjustment structure 500 may also be provided with reinforcing ribs to increase its structural strength.

[0043] In one embodiment, a bent section 510 is provided with an adjustment position 511, which defines an adjustment hole 512. The air scoop 100 further includes a first screw that penetrates the adjustment and mating structure 400 and the adjustment hole 512. Thus, each bent section 510 has a corresponding adjustment hole 512, thereby preventing the bent section 510 from having excessively low strength. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the adjustment structure 500 and the adjustment and mating structure 400 can further adjust the height of the air scoop 100 through a stepless adjustment method, thereby providing a continuous height adjustment of the air scoop 100. The stepless adjustment method can refer to the prior art.

[0044] In one embodiment, the adjustable cover 300 further includes two side panels 320 disposed opposite each other in the left and right directions of the air deflector 100. The second air deflector 310 connects the two side panels 320. One side panel 320 is movably mounted on a corresponding support plate 220. When the adjustment structure 500 and the adjustment engagement structure 400 are engaged in any adjustment position 511, the projection of the lower edge of the side panel 320 in the left and right directions of the air deflector 100 is located within the projection of the corresponding support plate 220. In this manner, the air deflector 100 is relatively airtight in the left and right directions, which helps reduce wind resistance experienced by the vehicle.

[0045] In one embodiment, the support plate 220 further includes a fixing hole 222 for mating with a corresponding side plate 320, and the air deflector 100 further includes a second screw inserted through the side plate 320 and the fixing hole 222. Thus, after the height of the air deflector 100 is adjusted, the side plate 320 and the support plate 220 can be fastened together using the second screw. This prevents a large gap between the side plate 320 and the support plate 220 due to high wind pressure when the vehicle is in motion, thereby improving the airtightness of the air deflector 100 and reducing wind resistance experienced by the vehicle. However, the present design is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the support plate 220 and the side plate 320 can be connected together by, but is not limited to, a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0046] In one embodiment, the two support plates 220 are provided with receiving grooves 221 on opposite sides thereof for at least partially receiving the corresponding side plates 320. In this way, the side plates 320 do not protrude too much in the left-right direction of the air scoop 100, which helps to reduce the wind resistance of the vehicle.

[0047] 6 , in one embodiment, the deflector 100 further includes a plurality of adapters 600 , each having different sizes. One adapter 600 is selected to connect the rear portion of the first deflector 210 and the front portion of the second deflector 310 , so as to adapt the adjustment structure 500 and the adjustment matching structure 400 to cooperate at different adjustment positions 511 . This helps reduce the gap between the rear portion of the first deflector 210 and the front portion of the second deflector 310 , thereby helping to reduce the wind resistance experienced by the vehicle. However, the present design is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the rear portion of the first deflector 210 and the front portion of the second deflector 310 can be rotated and matched by rotating a connecting member, such as, but not limited to, a hinge, so as to adapt the adjustment structure 500 and the adjustment matching structure 400 to cooperate at different adjustment positions 511 .

[0048] The present application also proposes a vehicle, which includes the aforementioned fairing 100. The specific structure of the vehicle refers to the above-mentioned embodiment. Since the vehicle adopts all the technical solutions of all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0049] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present application, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
