Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention provides a movable spoiler device, which may be easily stored and operated stably. The movable spoiler device includes a fixed plate fixed on a body of a vehicle; a movable plate disposed to be movable between a storage position connected to the fixed plate and an unfolding position closer to the rear position than the storage position; a linkage mechanism that is pivotally supported on the fixed plate at one end and pivotally supported on the movable plate at the other end; a sliding mechanism including a track portion disposed on one of the fixed plate and the movable plate, and a sliding portion disposed on the other of the fixed plate and the movable plate; and an actuator driving the linkage mechanism or the sliding mechanism to drive the movable plate to move relative to the fixed plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A movable spoiler device, comprising: a fixed plate fixed on a body of a vehicle; a movable plate disposed in a manner of being movable between a storage position connected to the fixed plate and an unfolding position closer to a rear position than the storage position; a linkage mechanism disposed to be pivotally supported on the fixed plate at one end and pivotally supported on the movable plate at the other end; a sliding mechanism comprising a track portion disposed on one of the fixed plate and the movable plate, and a sliding portion disposed on the other of the fixed plate and the movable plate, wherein the sliding portion is slidably disposed on the track portion; and an actuator driving the linkage mechanism or the sliding mechanism to drive the movable plate to move relative to the fixed plate. 2. The movable spoiler device according to claim 1 , wherein the linkage mechanism and the sliding mechanism are disposed separately in a vehicle width direction. 3. The movable spoiler device according to claim 1 , wherein an angle of the movable plate is changed when the movable plate moves from the storage position to the unfolding position. 4. The movable spoiler device according to claim 3 , wherein during a process of the movable plate moving from the storage position to a predetermined position on the way to the unfolding position, the angle of the movable plate is changed in an ascending direction of a rear portion relative to an angle of the movable plate at the storage position, during a process of the movable plate moving from the predetermined position to the unfolding position, the angle of the movable plate is changed in a descending direction of the rear portion relative to an angle of the movable plate at the predetermined position. 5. The movable spoiler device according to claim 2 , wherein an angle of the movable plate is changed when the movable plate moves from the storage position to the unfolding position. 6. The movable spoiler device according to claim 5 , wherein during a process of the movable plate moving from the storage position to a predetermined position on the way to the unfolding position, the angle of the movable plate is changed in an ascending direction of a rear portion relative to an angle of the movable plate at the storage position, during a process of the movable plate moving from the predetermined position to the unfolding position, the angle of the movable plate is changed in a descending direction of the rear portion relative to an angle of the movable plate at the predetermined position.
