Technical Field

The present invention relates to a vehicle. The vehicle has in particular an improved windscreen defroster. The vehicle is preferably a passenger car.

Background

It is known from the prior art to guide hot air onto the windscreen via a separate channel in order to defrost the windscreen. A baffle is installed at a position where air is discharged from a dashboard of the vehicle. The screen is usually arranged in the field of vision of the vehicle occupants and causes reflections in the windshield, which leads to an unaesthetic impression and disturbs the occupants of the vehicle, in particular the driver. There is also no optimum air distribution on the windscreen and the defrosting process therefore does not proceed satisfactorily.

Disclosure of Invention

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a vehicle with an optimized system for defrosting a windshield. This object is achieved by the independent claims. The dependent claims contain preferred embodiments of the invention.

The object is achieved by a vehicle having a windshield, a decorative element and an air-guiding element. The trim element is configured to have a front face facing the windshield, a rear face facing away from the windshield, and a top face. A gap is preferably left between the front face and the windshield, which gap can be filled with a filler material. The top face is disposed between and angled to the front and rear faces. It is particularly advantageous if the top face has a smaller dimension in the vertical direction than the respective front and/or rear face. The decorative element therefore preferably has a U-shaped or substantially U-shaped cross section. Advantageously, the front face is completely opposite the windshield. It is particularly advantageous if the decorative element is mounted on the dashboard surface of the vehicle.

The air guiding element has a wall element, a grille element and an air supply device. By means of the air supply device, the air-guiding element can be coupled to a ventilation system of the vehicle, for example to a conventional hot air housing. Thus, air from the ventilation system can reach the air guiding element through the air supply device. For this purpose, it is advantageously provided that the air guide element can output the supplied air via the grille element. In particular, the wall element serves for guiding air from the air supply to the grille element. The grill member includes an air guide member for adjusting a flow direction of air flowing through the grill member.

At least the front and top faces of the decorative element have voids. The wall element and the grille element are arranged in the interspace. The grille element is designed to guide air from the air guide element onto the windshield. Thus ensuring the defrosting function.

An advantage of this arrangement is that the grille elements can be designed slim, since the stability of the air-guiding elements is provided by the wall elements. The wall element and the grille element can be designed in two or more parts, wherein it is provided that the wall element and the grille element are assembled before the air-guiding element is inserted into the recess of the decorative element. By means of the increased stability of the air-guiding element, the installation in the interspace of the decorative element can be achieved in a simple and reliable manner. At the same time, the grille elements can be designed such that they have a large extent in the transverse direction y of the vehicle, as a result of which air can be guided onto the windshield with an optimum distribution over the width of the windshield.

Preferably, the front face and the wall element form a face without elevations and/or depressions. Thus, in particular, a continuous surface is present. The wall element is in particular inserted seamlessly into the recess of the front face.

The recess preferably extends over the entire front surface in the vertical direction z of the vehicle. In the longitudinal direction x of the vehicle, the recess preferably extends over at least a part of the roof surface, particularly preferably over a maximum part of the roof surface. Thus, the grid elements can be designed narrower in the longitudinal direction x, while the wall elements are maximized in the vertical direction z. Thus, on the one hand the grid element is provided with stability by the wall element, and on the other hand the air guidance within the air guiding element from the air supply to the grid element by the wall element is optimized, since the wall element extends in the vertical direction z over the entire dimension of the trim element.

The wall element preferably covers the entire interspace of the front face. It is also preferably provided that the grid element covers the entire recess of the top side. Thus, the decorative element may be considered as a continuous body. This increases in particular the stability of the decorative element with the embedded air-guiding element.

The roof surface preferably protrudes relative to the grille element, in particular in the vertical direction z of the vehicle. The grid element is therefore preferably sunk into the top face. Thus, the grille elements are mounted almost invisible to the vehicle occupants and therefore do not interfere with the view of the occupants.

The decorative element preferably extends over the entire width between the a-pillars of the vehicle. This results in a visually high-quality impression on the one hand and provides the grille elements with as large an extension space as possible in the transverse direction y of the vehicle on the other hand.

The grid element width of the grid element is preferably at least 50% of the maximum windscreen width of the windscreen. This ensures that the air guiding element can distribute the air optimally over the entire width of the windshield. A reliable defrost function is thus achieved.

Preferably, the top face of the decorative element is at an angle of at most 10 ° to the horizontal. It is particularly advantageous if the top face is oriented horizontally. The front and rear faces extend from the horizontal roof face downward with respect to the vertical direction z of the vehicle.

The vehicle preferably also has a dashboard surface. The instrument panel surface is attached to the rear face of the trim element. This means that the dashboard surface is only visible at the connection with the rear face. It is particularly advantageous if the decorative element can be mounted on the dashboard surface such that a portion of the dashboard surface is covered by the decorative element and the dashboard surface is only visible at the connection to the rear face. Alternatively, the dashboard surface may also start directly at the rear face of the decorative element. And in particular the instrument panel surface, is angled relative to the rear face. The instrument panel surface, the rear face and the top face together form a step. The decorative element thus at least visually effects the framing of the instrument panel surface and the separation of the windshield from the instrument panel surface.

It is particularly advantageous if the roof surface is arranged above the dashboard surface with respect to the vertical direction z of the vehicle. The above-mentioned steps are thus advantageously realized. The roof surface is then advantageously used as an outlet for a ventilation system of the vehicle, since the grille elements for guiding air onto the windshield are mounted there.

Drawings

Other details, features and advantages of the invention are set forth in the following description and the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:

FIG. 2 schematically illustrates a localized area of a vehicle in accordance with one embodiment of the invention; and

fig. 3 schematically shows a sectional view of a partial region of a vehicle according to an embodiment of the invention.

Detailed Description

Fig. 1 schematically shows a vehicle 1 according to an embodiment of the invention. The vehicle 1 has a windshield 2, onto which an air flow can be directed. This is particularly useful for defrosting the windshield 2. In order to guide the air flow onto windshield 2, a grille element 10 is present. The grille element 10 has air guide elements which regulate the flow direction of the air flowing through the grille element 10. It is provided that the grid element width 100 of the grid element 10 corresponds to at least 50% of the maximum windshield width 200 of the windshield. In particular, the corresponding dimensions of the windshield 2 and of the grille element 10 in the transverse direction y of the vehicle 1 are used for this purpose.

Fig. 2 shows a detail of the region of the vehicle 1, in particular of the windshield 2. Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of this region. Fig. 2 and 3 are explained together below.

The vehicle has a decorative element 3 which in turn comprises a front face 4, a rear face 5 and a top face 6. The decorative element preferably extends between the a-pillars 14 of the vehicle 1 along the entire width in the transverse direction y of the vehicle 1. The front face 4 is directed towards the windscreen 2 and the rear face 5 is directed away from the windscreen 2. The top face 6 is disposed between the front face 4 and the rear face 5 and is angled to the front face 4 and the rear face 5. In particular, it is provided that the roof surface 6 extends mainly in the longitudinal direction x and in the transverse direction y of the vehicle 1. In contrast, the front face 4 and the rear face 5 extend mainly in the vertical direction z and the lateral direction y of the vehicle 1. This means in particular that the top face 6 has a smaller dimension in the vertical direction z than the front face 4 and/or the rear face 5. The top face 6 is inclined at an angle of at most 10 deg. to the horizontal. The front face 4 is preferably opposite the windshield 2 over its entire dimension in the vertical direction z of the vehicle 1. In this case, a gap remains between windshield 2 and front surface 4, which gap is filled in particular at least partially with a filler element, such as a foam material.

The dashboard surface 7 extends in connection with the rear face 5, in particular mainly in the longitudinal direction x and the transverse direction y of the vehicle 1. The dash surface 7 is angled relative to the rear face 5. There is thus a step formed by the top face 6, the rear face 5 and the dashboard surface 7. This means that the dash surface 7 is disposed lower than the roof surface 6 with respect to the vertical direction. The decorative element 3 thus forms a visual frame of the dashboard surface 7 and at least visually separates the dashboard surface 7 from the windscreen 2.

In order to be able to guide air onto windshield 2, an air guiding element 8 is provided. The air-guiding element is mounted in the recess of the decorative element 3 and has a wall element 9 arranged in the recess of the front face 4 and a grille element 10 mounted in the recess of the top face 6. The grille element 10 and the wall element 9 are installed as a combined component in the decorative element 3. This means that the air-guiding element 8, in particular the wall element 9 and the grille element 10, is constructed in one piece or assembled from a plurality of parts before being installed in the decorative element 3.

By having the wall element 9 and the grille element 10 mounted as a combined component, the grille element 10 can be designed slim. This achieves, in particular, that the grille elements 10 are narrow in relation to the longitudinal direction x and long in relation to the transverse direction y, in particular in relation to the windshield 2 in the relative proportions described above. By combining the grille elements 10 and the wall elements 9 into a unit to be mounted, stability is achieved even with a slim design of the grille elements 10. Thus, the grille element 10 can be arranged so as to be invisible or almost invisible to the occupants of the vehicle 1. Furthermore, said dimension of the grille element 10, in particular in the transverse direction y, also ensures an optimum air distribution over the windshield 2. Defrosting can thus be carried out optimally.

It is particularly advantageous if the grid element 10 is sunk into the top face 6, i.e. the top face projects relative to the grid element 10, in particular in the vertical direction z. This ensures that the grille element 10 is mounted inconspicuously and cannot or hardly be perceived by the occupants of the vehicle 1.

The wall element 9 and the grille element 10 completely fill the respective interspace of the front face 4 and the rear face 5. The recess of the front face 4 extends in particular along the entire dimension of the front face 4 in the vertical direction z. The wall element 9 and the front face 4 form a continuous face without elevations or depressions. The wall element 9 is therefore inserted seamlessly into the recess of the front face 4.

Furthermore, the wall element 9 serves for guiding air in the air guiding element 8. The air guiding element 8 has an air supply device 11, by means of which air can be supplied to the air guiding element 8, which air can be guided onto the windshield 2 via the grille element 10. The air supply device 11 can in particular be connected to a conventional hot air housing 12. In addition to the wall element 9, the air guiding element 8 preferably has an additional wall element 13 which, together with the wall element 9, forms a well-like structure extending from the air supply device 11 to the grille element 10.

The air guide element 8 can thus reliably defrost the windshield 2, in particular because the air is guided to the windshield 2 with an optimized distribution. At the same time, the grille elements 10 are arranged so as to be invisible or almost invisible to the occupants of the vehicle 1. In particular, a visually high-quality impression is thus achieved.
