DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] This application provides a sightseeing vehicle, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sightseeing vehicle includes a vehicle body structure 100. The vehicle body structure 100 encloses a vehicle cabin. Along the length of the sightseeing vehicle, the cabin is divided into a first area 201, a second area 202, and a third area 203. The first area 201, located at the front of the vehicle, serves as the driver's cab. The third area 203, located at the rear of the vehicle, comprises an enclosed storage space. Items can be stored in the storage space. The second area 202 is located between the first and third areas 201 and 203. The second area 202 can be used to carry passengers.

[0035] By dividing the sightseeing vehicle into three areas, with the second area 202 located between the front and rear of the vehicle capable of carrying passengers and the enclosed storage space at the rear for storing items, the sightseeing vehicle's storage space is increased. The third area 203 can be used to store sanitation tools, firefighting equipment, or passenger luggage. This allows the sightseeing vehicle to carry passengers while also hauling cargo. This achieves multiple uses for one vehicle, reducing the development cost and lead time for different sightseeing vehicle structures. This also improves the efficiency of sightseeing vehicle use.

[0036] Optionally, the vehicle body structure 100 includes a chassis 101, which serves as the bottom wall of the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203. Thus, the height space of the sightseeing vehicle structure can be fully utilized, and the height dimensions of the first area 201, the second area 202, and the third area 203 can be expanded.

[0037] Optionally, a plurality of detachable floor panels are provided in the storage space, and the floor panels are slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage space.

[0038] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second area 202 has a passenger-carrying mode for accommodating passengers and a cargo-carrying mode for accommodating items. The sightseeing vehicle also includes a Class I seat 301, which is detachably connected to the portion of the chassis 101 located within the second area 202 via a first connecting device 3011. The first connecting device 3011 includes a support rod extending in the height direction, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the seat, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the portion of the chassis 101 located within the second area 202 via a threaded connection. Thus, during the peak tourist season, the second area 202 is switched to a passenger-carrying mode, and the Class I seat 301 is installed in the second area 202. During the off-season, the second area 202 is switched to a cargo-carrying mode, and the Class I seat 301 is removed from the second area 202, thereby further increasing the cargo space of the sightseeing vehicle.

[0039] The vehicle body structure 100 also includes a body frame 102. The body frame 102 is formed by welding together a number of crossbeams and longitudinal beams 102a. This invention eliminates the need for extensive modifications to existing vehicle models and can be manufactured using existing production lines. This eliminates the need for developing welding and assembly lines, shortening project cycles and saving development time and costs.

[0040] Through small-batch production, the body frame 102 and the chassis 101 adopt a welded structure, which is easy to disassemble and assemble. The production welding is carried out on the original platform with a short production cycle; no special tooling and equipment are required, the cost is greatly reduced, and batch configuration is feasible.

[0041] The vehicle body frame 102 is vertically connected to the chassis 101 and encloses the vehicle cabin. At least some longitudinal beams 102a are perpendicularly positioned along the edges of the chassis 101 to define the exterior contours of the sightseeing vehicle structure. On at least one side of the width of the sightseeing vehicle, the first and second areas 201, 202 communicate with the exterior through gaps between the longitudinal beams 102a. In other words, the first and second areas 201, 202 are open on at least one side of the width of the sightseeing vehicle, or both sides, to facilitate the transport of items.

[0042] The top cover of the vehicle body frame 102 is provided with a roof panel 400. A guard 500 is attached to the surface of the roof panel 400 facing away from the vehicle interior. Together, the guard 500 and the roof panel 400 form a storage space. The guard 500 prevents items stored on the surface from falling, thereby increasing storage space on the vehicle roof.

[0043] Specifically, the protective device 500 includes a guardrail extending in the height direction and disposed perpendicularly to the top cover plate 400. Horizontally, the guardrail surrounds at least a portion of the top cover plate 400, with the guardrail's leading end 501 and trailing end 502 spaced apart to form a gap 503. Alternatively, the guardrail's leading end 501 and trailing end 502 may be connected to form a closed loop structure.

[0044] The sightseeing vehicle also includes a ladder 600. The ladder 600 is connected to the chassis 101 and extends vertically to the top of the vehicle body frame 102. The ladder 600 is positioned opposite the notch 503 in the height direction of the sightseeing vehicle. The ladder 600 can be positioned at the rear of the sightseeing vehicle or at the side of the sightseeing vehicle, with the notch 503 corresponding to the ladder 600. Those skilled in the art can make their own choice. By positioning the ladder 600 opposite the notch 503, it is convenient for a person standing on the ladder 600 to operate the top area of ​​the sightseeing vehicle.

[0045] The top cover 400 includes a first cover 401 and a second cover 402 connected along the length of the sightseeing vehicle. The portion of the top cover 400 located in the first area 201 is defined as the first cover 401, and the portion located in the second area 202 and the third area 203 is defined as the second cover 402. The first cover 401 serves as the top wall of the first area 201, and the second cover 402 serves as the top wall of the second area 202 and the third area 203. The protective device 500 is arranged around the edge of the second cover 402. The first cover 401 is also provided with a prompt component. Thus, the protective device 500 is arranged to avoid the first cover 401, and a prompt component such as a warning light 401a, a loudspeaker, and other structures can be provided on the first cover 401. Of course, decorative components can also be provided on the first cover 401. Those skilled in the art can make their own choices.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the vehicle body structure 100 also includes a first side panel 103a and a second side panel 103b connected to the vehicle body frame 102. The first side panel 103a and the second side panel 103b are arranged in sequence in the length direction of the sightseeing vehicle and extend along the width direction of the sightseeing vehicle. The first side panel 103a is arranged perpendicular to the chassis 101 and is located at a position where the second area 202 and the third area 203 are connected. The second side panel 103b is located at the rear end (rear end) of the sightseeing vehicle, that is, the second side panel 103b is arranged on the side of the third area 203 away from the second area 202. The first side panel 103a and the second side panel 103b constitute part of the side wall of the storage space. The second side panel 103b has an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the third area 203 is connected to the outside.

[0047] Specifically, the second side panel 103b includes a first plate 1031 and a second plate 1032. The side of the first plate 1031 facing away from the second plate 1032 is driveably connected to the corresponding side longitudinal beam 102a, and the side of the second plate 1032 facing away from the first plate 1031 is rotationally connected to the corresponding side longitudinal beam 102a. One of the first plate 1031 and the second plate 1032 is further provided with a locking portion, and the other is provided with a locking adapter portion. The locking portion can cooperate with the locking adapter portion to lock the first and second plates 1031 and 1032. Of course, in addition to this method, the second side panel 103b can also be opened in other ways, such as, for example, the second side panel 103b is entirely rotationally connected to the longitudinal beam 102a. Those skilled in the art can make their own choices. To enhance the sealing performance of the first and second plates 1031 and 1032, sealing strips are provided on the edges of both the first and second plates 1031 and 1032.

[0048] The vehicle body structure 100 also includes a third side panel 103c and a fourth side panel 103d, both of which extend along the length of the sightseeing vehicle. In the width direction, the third side panel 103c is located on one side of the sightseeing vehicle, with its front and rear ends directly connected to the first side panel 103a and the second side panel 103b, respectively, or indirectly connected via a longitudinal beam 102a. The fourth side panel 103d is located on the other side of the sightseeing vehicle, with its front and rear ends directly connected to the first side panel 103a and the second side panel 103b, respectively, or indirectly connected via a longitudinal beam 102a. The third side panel 103c and the fourth side panel 103d form part of the side wall of the storage space.

[0049] The second cover 402, the portion of the bottom plate 101 located in the third area 203, the first side panel 103a, the second side panel 103b, the third side panel 103c and the fourth side panel 103d together form a storage space.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, Figure 3 The sightseeing vehicle also includes a second type of seat 302, which is located within the second area 202. The second type of seat 302 is integrated into the first side panel 103a. The second type of seat 302 can be detachably connected to the first side panel 103a, pivotally connected to the first side panel 103a, or fixedly connected to the first side panel 103a. This provides two types of seats within the second area 202, further improving the adaptability of the second area 202 to different working conditions. Retractable seat belts are installed next to the second type of seat 302, allowing workers to ride when the vehicle is used for other purposes.

[0051] In addition, by integrating the second-class seats 302 with the first side panel 103a, the first side panel 103a is used to support the second-class seats 302, thereby reducing the number of first-class seats 301, reducing the time for installing and disassembling first-class seats 301, and improving the efficiency of switching between different working conditions in the second area 202.

[0052] Optionally, the second-category seat 302 has a vertical position and a horizontal position. The second-category seat 302 is rotatably connected to the first side panel 103a via a second connecting device 3021 to switch between the vertical and horizontal positions. In the vertical position, the second-category seat 302 is parallel to the first side panel 103a; in the horizontal position, the second-category seat 302 is perpendicular to the first side panel 103a. This way, even when the second area 202 is in a loading mode, the second-category seat 302 is still connected to the first side panel 103a. This further enhances the functionality of the sightseeing vehicle and improves the user experience.

[0053] Specifically, the second connecting device 3021 includes a stop member 3021a and a resilient member. The stop member 3021a is used to support the second-class seat 302 in the horizontal position. The stop member 3021a is positioned perpendicular to the first side panel 103a and engages with the bottom of the second-class seat 302. The resilient member is positioned between the second-class seat 302 and the stop member 3021a. When the second-class seat 302 rotates from the vertical position to the horizontal position, the second-class seat 302 rotates from the vertical position to the horizontal position, causing the resilient member to deform. Conversely, when no passenger is seated in the second-class seat 302, the resilient member forces the second-class seat 302 to rotate in the opposite direction to the vertical position.

[0054] Thus, the second type of seat 302 can be automatically switched from the horizontal position to the vertical position. At the same time, the second type of seat 302 can automatically rotate to the vertical position, so as to avoid the second type of seat 302 occupying the space in the second area 202 when the second type of seat 302 is not in use.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the chassis 101 has a first boss 701. A portion of the chassis 101 protrudes upward to form the first boss 701. The top surface of the first boss 701 is aligned with the front wheel 801 of the sightseeing vehicle in the height direction, and the front wheel partially extends into the first boss 701. At least a portion of the top surface 701a of the first boss 701 is located within the first area 201. The driver's seat 201a is located within the portion of the top surface 701a of the first boss 701 located within the first area 201. Integrating the driver's seat 201a into the first boss 701 improves the integration of the sightseeing vehicle.

[0056] Optionally, the aforementioned ladder 600 is provided on one side of the first boss 701 in the second area 202 and is located at the rear side of the first area 201. This can prevent the ladder 600 from occupying other space in the second area 202 and preventing the ladder 600 from causing interference.

[0057] In another embodiment, the chassis 101 includes a second boss 702. A portion of the chassis 101 protrudes upwardly from the second boss 702. The platform 702b of the second boss 702 is vertically opposed to the rear wheel 802 of the sightseeing vehicle. The rear wheel 802 partially extends into the second boss 702. The second boss 702 includes a front sidewall 702b, which is the sidewall of the second boss 702 closest to the front of the vehicle. The front sidewall 702b is located where the second area 202 and the third area 203 meet. That is, the first side panel 103a is fixedly connected to the platform of the second boss 702, extending approximately in the same plane as the front sidewall 702b. This allows the second boss 702 to be used for carrying objects, avoiding wasted space on the second boss 702. In this embodiment, the platform 702b of the second boss 702 forms part of the bottom wall of the storage space.

[0058] In the aforementioned embodiment, the chassis 101 covers the front and rear wheels in the width direction, thereby increasing the width of the sightseeing vehicle. The provision of the first and second bosses 701 and 702 decouples the height of the chassis 101 from the wheel center heights of the front and rear wheels, providing a wider range of design possibilities for the sightseeing vehicle. The placement of the second boss 702 in the third area 203 effectively utilizes the space above the second boss 702, while also expanding the applicable scenarios for the sightseeing vehicle.

[0059] Optionally, chassis 101 can be a bus chassis, ensuring high maneuverability even in adverse road conditions. Alternatively, the present invention utilizes chassis 101 for off-road use, allowing it to be used only in specific locations such as factory production areas, tourist attractions, and amusement parks. This reduces the cost of road expansion and indirectly reduces development costs, meeting the daily needs of scenic areas. The sightseeing vehicle utilizes clean energy, operates with low noise, and produces zero emissions.

[0060] This document uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above examples is only intended to help understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of this application, various improvements and modifications can be made to this application, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
