Moving spoiler
A moving spoiler that prevents a constituent element configured to move the spoiler from being exposed to the outside and matches the spoiler with an external appearance of an outer panel of a vehicle, and the moving spoiler includes a spoiler cover having an operating space formed at a rear side of a roof part, the operating space having a shape opened at a rear side thereof, a moving plate configured to move into the operating space or move to the outside of the operating space through the opening portion of the operating space, a guide mechanism between an inner surface of the operating space and the moving plate and configured to guide a movement of the moving plate, and a drive part configured to provide driving power for moving the moving plate.
1 . A moving spoiler comprising:
a spoiler cover having an operating space having an opening portion at a rear side of the operating space, the spoiler cover is configured to be attached to a roof part such that the roof part covers a portion of the operating space;
a moving plate configured to move into the operating space or move to an outside of the operating space through the opening portion of the operating space;
a guide mechanism between an inner surface of the operating space and the moving plate and configured to guide a movement of the moving plate; and
a drive part configured to provide driving power for moving the moving plate,
wherein based on the moving plate being moved rearward through the opening portion, an internal structure of the spoiler is not exposed to the outside of the operating space,
wherein the guide mechanism is mounted in the operating space, and
wherein the guide mechanism comprises a moving unit configured to move together with the moving plate by the guide mechanism.
2 . The moving spoiler of claim 1 , wherein the guide mechanism further comprises:
a guide rail in the operating space and including rail parts extending from a front portion of the operating space to a rear portion of the operating space, and each of the rail parts has a curved shape that is curved upward and downward,
wherein the moving unit is configured to move forward or rearward together with the moving plate while being guided by the rail parts.
3 . The moving spoiler of claim 2 , wherein each of the rail parts has a groove shape, and the moving unit comprises:
a slider configured to move together with the moving plate; and
roller parts on the slider, inserted into the rail parts, and configured to move along the rail parts.
4 . The moving spoiler of claim 3 , wherein the rail parts include a first rail part and a second rail part,
wherein the guide rail further includes:
an inner rail including the first rail part, and
an outer rail including the second rail part,
wherein the first rail part and the second rail part face each other in a leftward/rightward direction, and wherein the roller parts include:
a first roller part at a front end of a first side of the slider and inserted into the first rail part, and
a second roller part at a rear end of a second side of the slider and inserted into the second rail part, the first and second sides of the slider oppose each other.
5 . The moving spoiler of claim 1 , wherein the drive part provides rotational driving power, a rotational motion made by the drive part is converted into a rectilinear motion, and the rectilinear motion is transmitted to the moving plate.
6 . The moving spoiler of claim 5 , comprising:
a shaft connected to the drive part and configured to rotate;
a pinion gear coupled to the shaft and configured to rotate together with the shaft; and
a moving gear member coupled to the moving plate and having a rack gear extending from a front portion of the operating space to a rear portion of the operating space such that the rack gear engages with the pinion gear and moves forward or rearward together with the moving plate in accordance with a rotation of the pinion gear.
7 . The moving spoiler of claim 1 , further comprising an upper lamp at an upper end of a rear side of the operating space, and the moving plate moves below the upper lamp.
8 . The moving spoiler of claim 1 , further comprising a lower lamp at a lower end of a rear side of the operating space, and the moving plate moves above the lower lamp.
9 . The moving spoiler of claim 1 , further comprising a strip at an upper end of the opening portion, and a top surface of the strip and a top surface of the moving plate are aligned on the same plane.
10 . The moving spoiler of claim 9 , further comprising seal ribs protruding from a front lower end of the strip and a rear lower end of the strip toward the moving plate and supported on the top surface of the moving plate.
11 . The moving spoiler of claim 9 , wherein the top surface of the moving plate includes a seating groove, and the strip is seated in the seating groove when the moving plate moves to the outside of the operating space.
12 . The moving spoiler of claim 1 , wherein an available space is between the spoiler cover and a rear window glass, and a rear wiper is installed in the available space.
