[0029] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 3The following describes a transport vehicle with a power-assisted compartment function provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The transport vehicle with a power-assisted compartment function comprises a tractor 10 and a cargo box 8. The front end of the cargo box 8 is connected to the tractor 10, forming a turning space between the cargo box 8 and the tractor 10. A living area 7 is provided at the front end of the cargo box 8. The front side of the living area 7 has a double door. When the two door panels 6 of the double door are opened, they enclose both sides of the turning space to form a living space 20.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the transport vehicle with power-assisted compartment function in the embodiment of the present invention sets a living area 7 at the front end of the cargo box part 8. After the double doors of the living area 7 are opened, the turning space is enclosed as the living space 20. The living area 7 and the living space 20 together serve as the driver's rest area, and make full use of the turning space of the cargo box part 8 between the traction part 10 designed for vehicle turning. While ensuring that the rest area is large enough, the space occupied by the cargo box part 8 is reduced, the cargo volume is guaranteed, and the transportation cost is reduced.

[0031] There is a certain distance between the traction part 10 and the cargo box part 8 of most trailers, leaving a gap of a certain width as a turning space. When the vehicle turns, the traction part 10 and the cargo box part 8 can form a certain angle, allowing the vehicle to turn smoothly.

[0032] The inventor of this application proposed that a living area 7 is provided at the front end of the cargo box part 8, and the front side of the living area 7 adopts double doors that open left and right; when the vehicle stops, the double doors of the living area 7 are opened to close the left and right sides of the turning space (the front and back of the turning space are respectively closed by the traction part 10 and the cargo box part 8), forming a living space 20 that is enclosed on all sides. The living space 20 and the living area 7 are used for the driver to rest; when the vehicle is moving, the double doors of the living area 7 are closed, the living space 20 is removed, and the turning space is restored, so that the vehicle can go on the road normally.

[0033] When in use, the living space 20 can be used to place a dining table and chairs, and the living area 7 can be used for washing clothes, cooking, bathing and toileting.

[0034] In a specific implementation, after the double door of the living area 7 is opened, the door panel 6 can be fixed with the traction part 10 to maintain the angle of the door panel so that the door panel remains on the side of the closed turning space, or the angle of the door panel can be fixed by the door axis of the door panel 6 so that the door panel 6 remains on the side of the closed turning space.

[0035] See also Figure 1As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisted compartment function provided by the present invention, the traction part includes: a traction chassis and a cab 1, and the rear end of the traction chassis tows a cargo box part 8; the cab 1 is arranged at the front end of the traction chassis, and a turning space is formed between the cab 1 and the front end of the cargo box part 8; the rear side of the cab 1 is provided with a connecting door 2 opposite to the living space 20, and when the connecting door 2 is opened, the cab 1 and the living space 20 are connected.

[0036] When in use, the driver of the cab 1 can open the connecting door 2 on the rear side of the cab and enter the living space 20 directly from the cab 1 .

[0037] In a specific implementation, the connecting door 2 can be a sliding door or a folding door. This has the beneficial effect that the driver can directly shuttle back and forth between the cab 1 and the living space 20 without getting off the vehicle, making it more convenient for the transport vehicle driver to rest and live without having to leave the vehicle frequently, thereby improving safety.

[0038] Please refer to 1, as a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisted storage function provided by the present invention, a retractable sun visor 5 is provided on the top front end of the cargo box part 8, and the retractable sun visor 5 closes the top of the living space 20 when extended.

[0039] When in use, the retractable sun visor 5 completely covers the upper part of the living space 20 after being unfolded, so that the living space 20 is more closed and the privacy of the living space 20 is improved.

[0040] In a specific implementation, the retractable sun visor 5 can be a rollable, pull-out fabric sun visor or a foldable hardboard sun visor, and can be disposed on the outer surface, inner surface, or interlayer of the front top of the cargo box 8. The retractable sun visor 5 can extend horizontally forward toward the top of the cab 1, and the extension length can be sufficient to completely cover the upper portion of the living space 20 or to cover only a portion of the living space 20.

[0041] See also Figure 1 As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisted cabin function provided by the present invention, a fairing 3 extending backward is provided on the top of the traction part 10, and the telescopic sun visor 5 is connected to the fairing 3 after being extended.

[0042] In a specific implementation, the connection between the telescopic sun visor 5 and the fairing 3 can further improve the firmness of the telescopic sun visor 5. After the telescopic sun visor 5 is extended, it can be connected to the fairing 3 by a snap connection, or it can be fixed together by a binding belt, or a plurality of clips can be provided at the end of the telescopic sun visor 5, and the clips can be clamped on the edge of the fairing 3 to achieve the connection between the telescopic sun visor 5 and the fairing 3.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 2As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisted compartment function provided by the present invention, the rear side of the cab 1 is equipped with a retractable floor 9 extending toward the living area 7. After the retractable floor 9 is extended, it is located below the living space 20 and is connected to the floor of the living area 7 at the same height.

[0044] A retractable floor assembly is used. When the vehicle is moving, the retractable floor assembly folds and shrinks to the rear side of the cab 1. When the vehicle stops and the double doors of the living area are opened, the retractable floor assembly 9 is extended and laid just below the living space 20. It extends from the cab 1 to the living area 7, making the bottom of the living space 20 more flat, thereby ensuring the safety of people's activities in the living space.

[0045] In a specific implementation, the retractable floor 9 is mounted on the rear side of the cab 1 and below the connecting door 2. The retractable floor 9 extends rearward to the front edge of the living area 7 floor. The retractable floor 9 can be bolted to the front edge of the living area 7 floor, tied with ropes, or simply aligned without being fixed. As a specific embodiment, the retractable floor 9 can be composed of multiple panels that fold back and forth. Two to four horizontal beams are installed between the cab 1 and the living area 7. When the multiple panels of the retractable floor 9 are unfolded, they can be laid flat on the beams to maintain a horizontal and fixed position. When not in use, the beams are stored in the cab 1 or the cargo box 8.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 2 As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisting compartment function provided by the present invention, the two door panels 6 are respectively equipped with telescopic plates 4 that can extend outward from the outer edges, and after the two door panels 6 are opened, the two telescopic plates 4 are respectively extended to connect with the two sides of the traction part 10, so that the telescopic plates 4 and the door panels 6 jointly close the two sides of the turning space.

[0047] On some vehicles, the distance between the cargo box part 8 and the traction part 10 is large, resulting in the door panel 6 being unable to completely close both sides of the turning space after the double doors of the living area 7 are opened. Therefore, a telescopic plate 4 is added to the door panel 6. When the telescopic plate 4 slides outward parallel to the outer edge of the door panel 6, it can be connected with both sides of the traction part 10 (specifically, it can be connected with both sides of the cab 1), so that the telescopic plate 4 and the door panel 6 can jointly close both sides of the turning space to form a living space 20.

[0048] In a specific implementation, one side of a door panel 6 is connected to the cargo box 8 via a rotating shaft, and the other side mates with another door panel 6, which is the outer side. Each door panel 6 is mounted on the side facing the interior of the living area 7. The telescopic panel 4 is parallel to the door panel 6 and can slide outward parallel to the outer side of the door panel 6. Of course, the telescopic panel 4 can also be mounted on the outer surface of the door panel 6 facing away from the living area 7, or in a hollow interlayer inside the door panel 6. The telescopic panel 4 can be telescopically slidable on the door panel 6 via a track. After being extended, the telescopic panel 4 can be fixed to the traction part 10 by bolts or ropes, or it can be left unfixed.

[0049] See also Figures 1 to 2 As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisted storage function provided by the present invention, a flap 11 is provided at the bottom front end of the cargo box part 8, and the flap 11 is suitable for flipping to the front side of the floor of the living area 7.

[0050] By expanding the floor area of the living area 7 by the flap 11, people can stand safely at the edge of the living area 7 without entering the living area 7. In this way, the living area 7 at the front end of the cargo box part 8 can be set as small as possible, reducing the space occupied by the cargo box part 8 and increasing the cargo volume.

[0051] In a specific implementation, the flap 11 is mounted on the front edge of the floor of the living area 7 via a rotating shaft. When not in use, the flap 11 is flipped downward so that it does not protrude from the front end of the cargo box 8, thereby avoiding affecting the vehicle's turning. When it is needed, the flap 11 is flipped upward to a horizontal position, so that the upper surface of the flap 11 is flush with the floor of the living area 7, allowing people to stand. After the flap 11 is flipped to a horizontal position, a triangular support can be formed by manually adding support rods to maintain the level of the flap 11. The flap 11 itself can also be equipped with a flip cylinder or a flip oil cylinder, so that it can flip automatically.

[0052] See also Figure 3 As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with power-assisted storage function provided by the present invention, a kitchen and a bathroom are respectively provided on both sides of the living area 7, and the kitchen and the bathroom are separated by isolation panels. The kitchen is equipped with a stove 18, a car washing machine 16, a range hood 19 and a car refrigerator 17. The car washing machine 16 is installed on the right side of the stove 18, the range hood 19 is installed above the stove 18, and the car refrigerator 17 is installed below the stove 18; the bathroom is equipped with a shower 14 and a car toilet 15.

[0053] During use, the two door panels 6 are opened to allow access to the items and equipment in the kitchen and bathroom.

[0054] In practical implementation, the isolation panel can be made of plastic or metal. A stovetop 18 is installed at a suitable height for the kitchen. A row of cabinets 13 can be positioned above the stovetop 18 at a suitable height. The cabinets 13 can house items such as the car microwave 12. A range hood 19 is mounted flush against the lower surface of the cabinets 13, and the car refrigerator 17 is installed below the stovetop 18. This significantly reduces space usage and allows for the installation of more required electrical equipment.

[0055] See also Figure 3 As a specific embodiment of the transport vehicle with a power-assisted warehouse function provided by the present invention, the living area 7 is equipped with an air-supply air conditioner with its air outlet facing the living space 20.

[0056] When in use, after opening the two door panels 6, the two telescopic panels 4 are extended to connect to the two sides of the rear of the traction part 10, and the sun visor is extended to connect to the fairing 3. The air supply air conditioner can supply air to the living space 20 for heating or cooling, making the driver more comfortable when moving in the living space 20.
