Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The disclosure provides a vehicle body lower structure, which can improve aerodynamic performance and improve driving stability. The vehicle body lower structure includes an airflow guiding plate that is arranged on the vehicle body of a vehicle and is movable between a receiving position covering the lower part of the vehicle body and a deploying position protruding downward. The airflow guiding plate includes a first airflow guiding plate and a second airflow guiding plate. The first airflow guiding plate is arranged in front of the left and right front wheels of the vehicle, and the second airflow guiding plate is arranged under the center of the vehicle body. Moreover, the protruding amount of the first airflow guiding plate is different from the protruding amount of the second airflow guiding plate in the deploying position.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle body lower structure, comprising an airflow guiding plate that is arranged on a vehicle body of a vehicle and is movable between a receiving position covering a lower part of the vehicle body and a deploying position protruding downward, wherein the vehicle body lower structure is characterized in that: the airflow guiding plate comprises a first airflow guiding plate and a second airflow guiding plate, the first airflow guiding plate is arranged in front of left and right front wheels of the vehicle, the second airflow guiding plate is arranged under a center of the vehicle body, and, a protruding amount of the first airflow guiding plate is different from a protruding amount of the second airflow guiding plate in the deploying position, wherein the first airflow guiding plate is located at left and right sides of the second airflow guiding plate. 2. The vehicle body lower structure according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding amount of the first airflow guiding plate in the deploying position is greater than the protruding amount of the second airflow guiding plate in the deploying position. 3. The vehicle body lower structure according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first airflow guiding plate and the second airflow guiding plate is rotatably connected to the vehicle body at a front end thereof through a shaft member extending in a left-right direction of the vehicle. 4. The vehicle body lower structure according to claim 2 , wherein each of the first airflow guiding plate and the second airflow guiding plate is rotatably connected to the vehicle body at a front end thereof through a shaft member extending in a left-right direction of the vehicle. 5. The vehicle body lower structure according to claim 1 , wherein a pair of the first airflow guiding plates is arranged in front of the pair of front wheels, and the second airflow guiding plate is arranged between the pair of the first airflow guiding plates. 6. The vehicle body lower structure according to claim 2 , wherein a pair of the first airflow guiding plates is arranged in front of the pair of front wheels, and the second airflow guiding plate is arranged between the pair of the first airflow guiding plates.
