This may cause electrical problems such as difficulty starting, light failure or electrical failure. Water can cause corrosion and damage to metal and other components. This may affect the storage area in the front trunk, such as spare tires, tools and other items.

As shown in FIG1 , a water guide structure for a front windshield of an automobile is provided, comprising a front windshield cover plate 10 and a sealing structure 20. The front windshield cover plate 10 is installed at the lower end of the outer side of the front windshield and connected with the outer side surface of the front windshield. A drainage port 11 is provided on the front windshield cover plate 10. The front windshield cover plate 10 is located below the front windshield of the automobile, and a wiper assembly is arranged thereon, which is connected with the front windshield of the automobile to ensure that rainwater on the front windshield of the automobile can flow smoothly to the front windshield cover plate 10. One or more drainage ports 11 may be provided on the front windshield cover plate 10 to discharge rainwater and other liquids collected on the windshield. The drainage port 11 is located at the lower part of the windshield, close to the front of the vehicle. The drainage port 11 ensures that water does not accumulate under the windshield, thereby keeping the driver and passengers' sight clear. The drainage port 11 may be located on the left side, right side and/or the center of the windshield, and the drainage port 11 is usually designed as a small groove or outlet to allow rainwater to flow out smoothly. These drain ports 11 are usually connected to the water flow channel at the lower part of the windshield to ensure that the liquid can be effectively discharged.

The sealing structure 20 is arranged at the front of the front fender 10 to isolate and seal the front engine compartment and the upper side of the front fender 10. The sealing structure 20 is an engineering structure or device for preventing liquid from leaking from the upper side of the front fender 10 to the front engine compartment. The main purpose of the sealing structure 20 is to maintain the sealing between the two areas to prevent the entry of rainwater. The sealing structure 20 can be a sealing strip seal, a packing seal, a mechanical seal or the like.

As shown in FIG1 , side water deflectors 30 are respectively installed at both ends of the front windshield 10 in the vehicle width direction. The side water deflectors 30 are mainly used to prevent rain or other external elements from entering the front cabin or interior of the vehicle, and to guide rainwater on the front windshield so that the rainwater reaches the front windshield 10 .

As shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, a water collecting trough is provided on the upper side of the front cover plate 10 along the vehicle width direction, and the drainage port 11 is provided at the bottom of the water collecting trough. When rain drops on the windshield, part of the water will flow down and be collected by the water collecting trough under the windshield. This prevents rainwater from flowing from the bottom of the windshield to the front cabin or the interior of the vehicle. The drainage port 11 at the bottom of the water collecting trough can guide the accumulated water to the bottom of the vehicle and then discharge it to the ground. This ensures that rainwater does not enter the front cabin or the interior of the vehicle.

As shown in Figs. 1, 3 and 4, a water retaining strip 12 is installed along the vehicle width direction on the front upper side of the front fender 10. The water retaining strip 12 can further block the water flow and prevent the water flow from entering from the rear end gap of the front engine compartment cover 40, wherein the water retaining strip 12 can be the groove wall of the water collecting groove, and the water retaining strip 12 and the upper plate surface of the front fender 10 together form the water collecting groove.

As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, the sealing structure 20 includes a sealing strip, which is installed at the upper end of the water retaining strip 12, and the sealing strip forms a contact seal with the lower side of the rear end of the front cabin cover 40. The sealing strip and water retaining strip 12 in the present application are arranged below the rear end of the front cabin cover 40. The front cabin cover 40 is a movable part, so it is not suitable for the fixed sealing structure 20. When the front cabin cover 40 is opened, its rear end will be separated from the sealing strip contact seal, and when the front cabin cover 40 is closed, its rear end will squeeze the upper end of the sealing strip to form a seal. The sealing strip is a hollow rubber structure, which is more conducive to deformation to increase the contact area with the front cabin cover 40 and thus improve the sealing effect. At the same time, due to the elasticity of its rubber material, the hollow rubber sealing strip can also reduce the propagation of sound, which can reduce the transmission of engine noise in the front cabin and improve the quietness of the whole vehicle.

As shown in Fig. 1, the side water baffle plate 30 and the sealing strip form a seal. The sealing strip forms a seal in front of the front windshield, while the side water baffle plate 30 forms a seal on both sides of the front windshield. The side water baffle plate 30 and the sealing strip form a seal to complete the connection between the side seal and the front seal, avoiding the existence of a sealing dead angle.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the side water retaining plate 30 is provided with a bayonet 32 with an opening facing downward at one end close to the sealing strip, and the bayonet 32 is used for inserting the sealing strip to form an interference fit. The sealing strip is a rubber structure with a certain elasticity, and a seal can be formed after the sealing strip is inserted into the bayonet 32. At the same time, the cooperation between the bayonet 32 and the sealing strip can also relatively fix the sealing strip and the side water retaining plate 30.

As shown in FIG4 , the front fender 10 is provided with mounting surfaces 13 on both ends of the vehicle width direction, and the mounting surfaces 13 are provided with a plurality of mounting holes, and the side water baffle 30 is provided with a plurality of buckles 31 which are plugged and matched with the mounting holes. That is, the side water baffle 30 and the front fender 10 are detachably connected to facilitate assembly, and the side water baffle 30 and the sealing strip can be replaced. When installing, the sealing strip can be installed first, and then the side water baffle 30 can be used to clamp the sealing strip, and then the sealing strip can be directly inserted into the mounting hole through the buckle 31 to complete the installation.

As shown in FIG1 , the end of the side water retaining plate 30 away from the sealing strip is smoothly transitioned and connected with the vehicle A-pillar, so as to ensure that rainwater flows smoothly from the front windshield into the top of the front cover plate 10 .

The utility model also provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned automobile windshield water guiding structure.

In summary, the utility model proposes a car windshield water guide structure and a vehicle. In the above scheme, a sealing structure 20 is provided to isolate and seal the front engine compartment and the upper side of the front windshield cover plate 10. In this way, when too much water accumulates above the front windshield cover plate 10 due to excessive rainfall or blockage of the drain outlet 11, due to the isolation of the sealing structure 20, the accumulated water will not enter the front engine compartment of the vehicle, but will overflow from above the front windshield cover plate 10 and flow out from both sides of the vehicle or above the front engine cover.
