Description

The utility model relates to mechanical engineering, in particular to the automotive industry, and is intended to protect the hood of cars from external shocks.

The front hood of a car is often equipped with a protective cover - a deflector with a deflector function to set the direction of oncoming air flow. The deflector is designed to protect the hood from relatively light blows by objects in the air in the path of the car. But due to the absence of shock-absorbing elements in the structure, this deflector has a greatly reduced protective function and is not able to absorb the energy of stronger shocks during movement and other effects.

The function of existing deflectors is that they help to avoid the need to repaint the hood of the vehicle when applying minor scratches and chips on the paintwork only from light impacts. The protection achieved by the design of many linings is reduced due to the fact that the liner is in contact with the body structure and, thus, does not prevent its deformation in the event of a fairly strong impact.

A device for attaching a deflector to a car hood (patent RU 87768U, publ. 10/20/2009), including a tape bracket, characterized in that the bracket is made of solid polymer material in the form of a closed loop of horizontal orientation, the lower part of which is laid on the car hood, repeats the hood contour in the place of their contact, and the upper part, forming a closed loop, is made with broadening in the central part and the free end extending beyond the closed loop, made in the form of a lever with snapping on the lower side of the car bonnet, while in a closed circuit there is a socket for securing the deflector on the car bonnet, and the second jack for securing the bracket on the car bonnet is made from the side of the lever and is equipped with a pulling element that creates a force on the lever.

This deflector is in contact with the body structure and, therefore, does not prevent its deformation in the event of a fairly strong impact.

Also, debris is clogged under the deflector, which in order to eliminate it is necessary to remove the overlay of the deflector (i.e. disassemble the structure).

Since the deflector is rigidly fixed from one edge, its free movement is not ensured with multidirectional voltages during the operation of the vehicle, and this, in turn, creates an increased load on the deflector, which can lead to distortions and rapid breakdown.

Partially eliminates this problem, the VIP TUNING hood deflector for PEUGEOT 306 (1993-1997) [http://tvoibolid.ru/product/deflektor-kapota-peugeot-306-1993-1997-vt/; publ. 2013]. The bonnet deflector VIP TUNING is made of tinted plexiglass (3 mm). The deflector is supplied with fasteners. The hood deflector has a fixing hook, which is fixed to the hood by means of adhesive tape, a metal corner is fixed to the hook, which is attached to the hood by means of a locking button and a self-tapping screw. A rubber damper is installed on the hood under the edge of the deflector plane, damping the vibrations of the deflector.

The disadvantage of this solution is that the angle bracket on the adhesive tape is too simple, which makes fixing the deflector on the hood in principle not reliable.

In addition, although the deflector, due to the damper, is not in contact with the body structure and, thus, prevents its deformation in the event of a fairly strong blow, the damper itself is attached separately from the deflector to the hood also by means of adhesive tape.

Because of this, the deflector can be biased, since it is difficult for the user to very accurately install the damper strictly at the same distance from the edge of the deflector. Also, debris is clogged under the deflector, which in order to eliminate it is necessary to remove the overlay of the deflector (i.e. disassemble the structure).

Since the deflector is rigidly fixed from one edge, its free movement is not ensured with multidirectional voltages during the operation of the vehicle, and this, in turn, creates an increased load on the deflector, which can lead to distortions and rapid breakdown.

The closest analogue to eliminate these problems is the deflector to the hood of the car (patent RU 164934 U, published September 27, 2016) made of polymer materials having a fastener for fixing the deflector to the hood, characterized in that the fastener for fixing the deflector to the hood such a height is made that after fixing the deflector on the hood from its front side close to the headlights, a gap of several millimeters forms between the lower part of the deflector plane edge and the hood, and the The vent of the deflector to the mounting fixture in cross section is located at a distance of at least 1/3 from the edge of the deflector.

The solution describes a device for attaching a deflector to a car hood, including a segmental belt bracket, laid on the hood with its lower surface and having a bursting fixing part of a clip-latch that creates a closed space on the edge of the hood.

The technical result of the prototype is expressed in reducing the problem of violation of the sealant layer at the contact points of the bracket with the hood of the car.

The technical problem of the known solutions is the rather complicated process of installing the hood deflector, as well as the need to use other related devices when operating the hood deflector.

In addition, although the prototype provides a reduction in the problem of violation of the sealant layer at the points of contact of the bracket with the hood of the car, there is no complete elimination of the contact of the deflector with the hood.

The objective of the utility model is to eliminate these drawbacks.

The technical result of the utility model is to simplify the installation of the deflector on the hood, as well as the lack of need to use other related devices when operating the hood deflector. In addition, a complete solution to the problem of violation of the sealant layer at the points of contact of the bracket with the hood of the car, as well as the complete elimination of contact of the deflector with the hood is provided.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the claimed device for mounting the deflector on the hood of the car, including a tape segmental bracket, the bottom surface laid on the hood and having a bursting fixing part of the latch clip, creating a closed space on the edge of the hood, characterized in that the bracket is made with corrugations located depending on the contact surface, facing the deflector and across, performing the function of a stop for the deflector, and the corrugation Made of flexible, shape-retaining material.

Preferably, the means for attaching the deflector to the bracket is a screw with a plastic plug.

Preferably, the means for attaching the deflector to the bracket is a self-tapping screw screwed directly into the body of the device, or a layer of glue.

Preferably, a collar is provided on the inner surface of the plug for fixing it to the cap of the fastener.

Preferably, a double-sided tape is installed on the lower side of the bracket that is attached to the hood of the car.

The utility model is illustrated in the drawing.

In the drawing A device for attaching a deflector to a car bonnet is shown, where 1 is a bracket profile, 2 is a deflector, 3 is a rectangular nut, 4 is a screw, 5 is a plug, 6 is a car bonnet, 7 is adhesive tape or a layer of glue, 8 are car body parts, 9 - latch-clip; 10 - corrugation of the bracket.

Utility Model Implementation

A device for attaching a deflector to a car hood includes a tape segmental bracket 1, which is made of flexible material (plastic, silicone, rubber), which ensures the mobility of the corrugation segments 10. The lower surface of the bracket 1, laid on the hood, can be made in the form of a hood 6. Bracket 1 is mounted on the hood, preferably by snapping the clip-on latch 9 and gluing to the surface of the hood 6 using double-sided tape 7 or glue.

The bracket 1 forms a thrust pad for fixing the deflector on the hood of the car. At the bottom there is a bursting fixing part of the latch-clip 9, which creates a closed space on the edge of the hood 6, to prevent the front part of the bracket from sticking during operation.

The deflector 2 is attached to the bracket 1 using a screw 4 with a rectangular nut 3. A plastic plug 5 can be installed on top of the screw 4. A collar (not shown) can be made on the inner surface of the plug 5 to fix it on the screw head 4. The collar installing the plug on the screw is adjacent to the chamfer on the bottom surface of the cap and fixes the plug 5 on the screw 4.

The bracket 1 consists of connected corrugation segments 10 and works on the stop principle. To the edge of the hood 6 and to its surface from the outside, the bracket is preferably fastened with a latch clip 9 and glued to the hood with the lower part. The deflector 2 is attached to the bracket with a screw 4 on the back side (also instead of a screw-nut connection, a self-tapping screw screwed directly into the body of the device can be used, and it is also possible to attach the device to the deflector by gluing, welding two materials).

The method of attachment to the hood is very simple and quick: the bracket is latched preferably with the help of a clip-on clip that creates a closed space on the edge of the hood, then it is glued to the outer part of the hood, ensuring full preservation of the paintwork due to corrugations, which additionally perform the function of both the damper and the stop . The force of the dampers can be adjusted during production by adding or removing corrugation segments 10.

The technical result of the utility model is provided by a number of factors:

the flexibility of the bracket itself, which allows you to adapt it to any surface, with any angle of the hood;

the bracket additionally performs the function of a damper and stop, the force of which can be adjusted during production by adding or removing segments;

ease of installation (no tools required);

complete identity (due to the production method).

The use of such an arm can significantly simplify the installation of the hood deflector, as well as not use other related devices when operating the hood deflector.
