    摘要: A spoiler assembly for a vehicle includes a first air-guiding element adjustable between a basic position and an activated driving position by a first adjustment device (6) and a second air-guiding element adjustable between a basic position and an activated driving position by a second adjustment device (7). In a first partial adjustment during the adjustment from the basic positon into the driving position, the first air-guiding element is adjustable and the second air-guiding element is not adjustable. In a second partial adjustment following the first partial adjustment, the second air-guiding element, preferably the two air-guiding elements, is or are adjustable. second adjustment device (7) is activated via a first position-switching device (15) switchable between an open position for actuating the second adjustment device (7) and a blocking position depending on an adjustment position of the first air-guiding element.

    摘要: An active underbody panel system having a frame arrangement mounted under the vehicle and at least one deployable panel moveable between stowed and deployed positions to improve aerodynamics under the vehicle. A deployment/retraction mechanism is provided having a pair of linkage assemblies and driven by an actuator, which allows the deployable panel(s) to be moved automatically downward into the air flow as needed.

    摘要: A removable spoiler wing assembly having a trunk lid portion, a fix portion, a primary spoiler wing structure, and a secondary spoiler wing structure is provided. The trunk lid portion has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The fix portion is disposed on the second end of the trunk lid portion. The primary spoiler wing structure is removable and is disposed on the fix portion. The secondary spoiler wing structure is removable and is disposed on the second end of the trunk lid portion, the fix portion, or the primary spoiler wing structure.

    摘要: A motor vehicle tail gate panel has one side facing the inside of the motor vehicle and one side facing the outside of the motor vehicle and including a box having an adhesion area on the side facing the outside of the motor vehicle for adhering a glass to the surface of the box. The box extends beyond the adhesion area on the side opposite this area so as to form at least one section that is visible from the outside of the motor vehicle, and the section has a shape that enhances the aerodynamics of the motor vehicle. As a result, additional spoilers may not be needed, which improves productivity and reduces production costs. Example embodiments also relate to a motor vehicle that includes the tail gate panel.

    摘要: A spoiler arrangement of a motor vehicle includes a spoiler blade, a body portion to which the spoiler blade attaches, a displacement device for the spoiler blade, the displacement device being configured to move the spoiler blade relative to the body portion between a retracted position and an extended position; and a cover configured to attach to the spoiler blade and to at least partially close a rear gap which is formed, in the extended position of the spoiler blade, between a rear edge of the spoiler blade and an adjoining assembly of the body portion.

    摘要: A vehicle has first and second portions, with a front aerodynamic element located in the first portion and a rear aerodynamic element located in the second portion. The front and rear aerodynamic elements are each independently movable to respective deployment positions between respective stowed positions and respective fully-extended positions. A controller is operatively connected to each of the front and rear aerodynamic elements and has a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory. The controller is programmed to obtain a front target position (Tf,n) for the front aerodynamic element at a current time step (n) based at least partially on at least one vehicle state parameter at a previous time-step (n−1) and a detected position (Dr,n-1) of the rear aerodynamic element at the previous time-step (n−1).

    摘要: An active front deflector assembly having a deflector panel, actuator, and linkage assemblies each with a predetermined geometry and ratio of links to each other for movement of the active front deflector assembly between at least a deployed position and a retracted position. The deflector panel is positionable at multiple heights. The assembly deploys and retracts based on vehicle requirements, and, when deployed, redirects the air flow in the front of the vehicle to improve the vehicle aerodynamics for either fuel economy or performance characteristics. Additionally, it allows for the deflector panel to retract so the vehicle meets ground clearances, etc. The deflector panel is also both rigid and semi-rigid to absorb impact energy. A drive shaft transmits the drive from one side to the other side. The deflector is both rigid and semi rigid to absorb impact energy.

    摘要: An active front deflector assembly having a deflector panel, actuator, and linkage assemblies each with a predetermined ratio of the links to each other for motion of the deflector panel. The assembly deploys and retracts based on vehicle requirements, and, when deployed, redirects the air flow in the front of the vehicle to improve the vehicle aerodynamics for either fuel economy or performance characteristics. Additionally, it allows for the deflector panel to retract so the vehicle meets ground clearances, etc. The deflector panel is also both rigid and semi-rigid to absorb impact energy. The drive shaft transmits the drive from the actuator coupled to one linkage assembly to the other linkage assembly for moving the deflector panel between the deployed/retracted positions. The actuator is clutched to prevent damage to the system.

    摘要: In a mounting structure of an exterior part, a molding has a recess capable of being fitted to an outer periphery of the exterior part, as seen in a cross-sectional view. The outer periphery includes a recessed corner portion at which two sides of the outer periphery cross each other. One of the two sides constituting the recessed corner portion includes a protrusion capable of being fitted into the recess of the molding. The other of the two sides includes a cutout portion disposed adjacent to the protrusion, the cutout portion permitting insertion of the molding therethrough under a condition where the exterior part is mounted on a front surface of a main member. The exterior part is mounted on the front surface of the main member under a condition where an end portion of the molding mounted on the one side is inserted into the cutout portion.
