Motor vehicle with a rear spoiler
View Patent ↗A motor vehicle having a rear spoiler that is rigidly attached to a bearing structure of the motor vehicle in a normal position. In order to functionally improve the motor vehicle, the rear spoiler rigidly attached to the bearing structure in its normal position is displaceably attached to the support structure such that the rear spoiler is displaced to a safety position by a translation device in the event of an imminent collision detected by a sensor.
1 . A motor vehicle comprising:
a rear spoiler which is displaceably attached to a bearing structure of the motor vehicle,
a sensor device for detecting an imminent collision involving the motor vehicle, and
a translation device that is configured to displace the rear spoiler from a normal operation position to a safety position in an event that the sensor device detects the imminent collision,
wherein the translation device is combined with a locking device by which the rear spoiler is rigidly held in the normal operating position,
wherein the translation device comprises a translation slide that is blocked with the locking device to rigidly maintain the rear spoiler in the normal operation position and that is translationally movable to allow the rear spoiler to be moved to the safety position in the event of the imminent collision detected by the sensor device,
wherein the translation device comprises a coupling element coupled to the rear spoiler, which is translationally movable relative to the translation slide when the translation slide pretensioned by a translation spring is released by the locking device, and
wherein the translation slide has a locking recess, in which a locking element with a pretensioned locking spring which is configured to be magnetically activatable engages, which is moveable in the blocking body fixedly connected to the bearing structure against the pretension force of the locking spring, wherein the blocking body has a blocking surface against which the coupling element rests with an end surface, as long as the translation slide is not released by the locking device.
2 . The motor vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the translation slide comprises a first sliding surface which interacts with a second sliding surface disposed on the coupling element, wherein the coupling element has a third sliding surface which interacts with a fourth sliding surface disposed on the blocking body.
