Among them, the whole vehicle shell structure mainly plays a protective role, so the whole vehicle shell structure needs to have good protective performance. In terms of waterproofness, if water flows into the inside of the whole vehicle shell structure, it may cause damage to the body accessory structure, thereby affecting the normal operation of the cleaning robot 1000, such as burning circuits and other problems. Therefore, the waterproof performance of the whole vehicle shell structure is very important.

[0036] The following is a detailed description of the vehicle shell structure.

[0037] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a whole vehicle shell structure, including a vehicle frame and a vehicle shell wrapped on the outside of the vehicle frame. The vehicle shell includes a front cover 11, an intermediate shell 13, a rear cover 12 and a side shell 14, the intermediate shell 13 and the side shell 14 are respectively installed on the top and the side of the vehicle frame, the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are both movably connected to the top of the vehicle frame, and the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the intermediate shell 13 along the first direction, and there is a rotation gap between the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 and the intermediate shell 13; the top of the side shell 14 is provided with a first water guide groove 1434 and a guide plate connected to the first water guide groove 1434, the edge of the intermediate shell 13 is buckled on the top of the side shell 14, and a first guide channel is formed between the intermediate shell 13 and the first water guide groove 1434, and the rotation gap is connected to the first guide channel.

[0038] The first direction is the forward direction of the vehicle, which may also be the length direction of the vehicle, the second direction is the width direction of the vehicle, and the third direction is the height direction of the vehicle, that is, the vertical direction. For ease of description, the following description still uses the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction.

[0039] Specifically, the vehicle shell structure includes a vehicle frame and a vehicle shell. The vehicle frame is mostly made of aluminum alloy and plays a role in supporting the vehicle. The vehicle frame is provided to provide an installation position for the vehicle body accessory structure relative to the vehicle shell structure, ensuring good stability of the vehicle. The vehicle shell is covered on the outside of the vehicle frame, which protects the vehicle frame and improves the appearance of the vehicle. Among them, the vehicle shell includes a front cover 11, a rear cover 12, an intermediate shell 13 and a side shell 14, wherein the front cover 11, the rear cover 12 and the intermediate shell 13 are all installed on the top of the vehicle frame, and the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the intermediate shell 13 along the first direction, the front cover 11 is arranged on the front side of the intermediate shell 13, and the rear cover 12 is arranged on the rear side of the intermediate shell 13. The intermediate shell 13 is fixed to the vehicle frame, and the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are both hinged to the vehicle frame, so that the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 can be opened relative to the vehicle frame. The side housing 14 is mounted on the side wall of the vehicle frame and is arranged around the circumference of the vehicle frame, thereby wrapping the vehicle frame. The two sides of the intermediate housing 13 along the second direction can extend to cover the top of the side body, and there is a first rotation gap 1311 between the front cover 11 and the intermediate housing 13, and a second rotation gap 1321 between the rear cover 12 and the intermediate housing 13. The two rotation gaps are actually provided to provide rotation margin for the rotation of the front cover 11 relative to the vehicle frame and the rotation of the rear cover 12 relative to the vehicle frame, so as to avoid the problem of wear or jamming between the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 and the intermediate housing 13 when they rotate respectively.

[0040] At the same time, a first water guide groove 1434 is provided at the top of the side shell 14 toward the middle shell 13, the first water guide groove 1434 is recessed along the third direction, and the first rotation gap 1311 and the second rotation gap 1321 can both be connected to the first water guide groove 1434. Because the edge of the middle shell 13 along the second direction extends to the side shell 14, the provision of the first water guide groove 1434 allows a space to be provided between the middle shell 13 and the side shell 14, and the space is the first flow guide channel mentioned above. Moreover, a flow guide plate is provided in the outlet direction of the first water guide groove 1434. In actual use, the water flowing to the vehicle body can flow to the first rotation gap 1311 and the second rotation gap 1321, and flow along the first rotation gap 1311 and the second rotation gap 1321 to the first water guide groove 1434, that is, flow to the first flow guide channel, and flow out to the flow guide plate along the first flow guide channel, so as to flow to the outside of the vehicle body through the flow guide plate, realize the outlet of the water flow, and thus play the role of waterproofing the whole vehicle.

[0041] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, a water tank is arranged at the front side of the vehicle body, and a control system is arranged at the rear side of the vehicle body, then the front cover 11 serves as the water tank cover of the water tank, so the front cover 11 needs to be opened relative to the vehicle frame to facilitate the inspection of the situation in the water tank. At the same time, the rear cover 12 serves as the control panel shell of the control system. The steering wheel of the vehicle body is arranged between the water tank and the control system, and the intermediate housing 13 serves as the shell of the steering wheel to protect the structure around the steering wheel.

[0042] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the top of the vehicle shell structure is arranged in a V-shape with an obtuse angle, and the front cover 11 and the rear cover 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the V-shape, so that water can flow out along the first guide channel, further improving the waterproof performance.

[0043] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide plate is inclined from the middle shell 13 toward one side of the front cover 11, and the first water guide groove 1434 is inclined in the same direction as the guide plate. Specifically, the guide plate is arranged on the top of the side shell 14, and the shape of the top of the side shell 14 is adapted to the top shape of the entire vehicle shell structure. The guide plate is arranged on one side of the front cover 11, and extends downwardly from the middle shell 13 toward the front cover 11, so that the water flow can flow downward along the guide plate and flow to the outside of the vehicle body. Correspondingly, the first guide channel connected to the guide plate also needs to be inclined downward in the same direction, so the corresponding first water guide groove 1434 is inclined in the same direction as the guide plate, so that the water flow flowing into the first water guide groove 1434 can flow smoothly to the guide plate, reducing the amount of water accumulated in the first water guide groove 1434.

[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the side shell 14 is provided with a bent flange 1437, and the bent flange 1437 is connected to the side of the guide plate facing the inside of the vehicle body. Specifically, the top of the side shell 14 is bent once along the second direction toward the inside of the vehicle to form the guide plate, and then the end thereof is bent twice upward along the third direction to form the bent flange 1437. The setting of the bent flange 1437 enables the guide plate and the first water guide groove 1434 to have a blocking portion on the side facing the inside of the vehicle, thereby ensuring that water does not flow into the inside of the vehicle, further improving the waterproof performance.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, further, a plurality of mounting holes 1438 are provided on the guide plate, and the mounting holes 1438 are used to cooperate with fasteners to realize the installation of the housing 14 on the opposite side of the front cover 11. Specifically, the front cover 11 includes a front cover frame 111 and a front cover body 112, the front cover frame 111 is a quadrilateral frame structure, and the front cover frame 111 cooperates with the mounting holes 1438 through fasteners, so that the housing 14 on the opposite side of the front cover frame 111 is fixedly installed, and the front cover body 112 is hinged to the vehicle frame on one side facing the middle housing 13, so as to facilitate the opening and closing between the front cover body 112 and the front cover frame 111.

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle shell structure further includes a sealing strip, which is pressed between the front cover 11 and the side shell 14. Specifically, a sealing strip is fixedly provided on the side of the front cover frame 111 facing the side shell 14, and the sealing strip is arranged in a U shape, that is, the opening of the sealing strip is located on the side facing the intermediate shell 13. Among them, when the front cover frame 111 is locked to the top of the side shell 14 by a fastener, the sealing strip can be pressed between the front cover frame 111 and the side shell 14. At the same time, due to the setting of the mounting hole 1438 on the guide plate, the sealing strip can also be provided with a sealing hole corresponding to the sealing strip, and one end of the fastener passes through the front cover frame 111, the sealing hole and the mounting hole 1438 in sequence, so as to lock the front cover frame 111 relative to the side shell 14. Moreover, the setting of the sealing hole ensures that the mounting hole 1438 has good sealing performance. When the front cover frame 111 is locked relative to the side housing 14 , a flow gap is provided between the edge of the front cover frame 111 along the second direction and the guide plate, so that the water flow can be guided out along the guide plate.

[0047] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide plate includes a first guide plate 1435 extending along the first direction and a second guide plate extending along the second direction, and the first guide plate 1435 is connected to the first guide channel, so as to facilitate the water flow flowing into the first rotation gap 1311 and the second rotation gap 1321 to be discharged. The second guide plate is arranged on the front side of the front cover frame 111, and the second guide plate extends downwardly along a side away from the intermediate housing 13 to facilitate the water flow to be discharged.

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the side of the intermediate shell 13 facing the front cover 11 is the first side, and the side of the intermediate shell 13 facing the rear cover 12 is the second side; a first receiving plate 131 is provided on the first side, and a first rotation gap 1311 is provided between the first receiving plate 131 and the intermediate shell 13, and the front cover 11 is buckled on the first receiving plate 131; a second receiving plate 132 is provided on the second side, and a second rotation gap 1321 is provided between the second receiving plate 132 and the intermediate shell 13, and the rear cover 12 is buckled on the second receiving plate 132.

[0049] That is to say, the first receiving plate 131 is fixedly arranged on the first side of the intermediate housing 13, and the first receiving plate 131 is arranged in an L-shaped structure, the horizontal side of the L-shaped structure is fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 13, and the vertical side of the L-shaped structure extends upward along the third direction, so that a first rotation gap 1311 is formed between the vertical side of the first receiving plate 131 and a side wall of the intermediate housing 13 extending along the second direction. The rear side of the front cover frame 111 in the front cover 11 can cover the vertical side of the first receiving plate 131, so that the first rotation gap 1311 is located between the front cover 11 and the intermediate housing 13. Correspondingly, the second receiving plate 132 is arranged in an L-shaped structure, and the two L-shaped structures are arranged in a mirror image, the horizontal side of the second receiving plate 132 is fixedly connected to the intermediate housing 13, and the vertical side of the second receiving plate 132 extends upward along the third direction, so that a second rotation gap 1321 is formed between the vertical side of the second receiving plate 132 and another side wall of the intermediate housing 13 extending along the second direction. The rear side of the rear cover 12 can cover the vertical side of the second receiving plate 132 , so that the second rotation gap 1321 is located between the rear cover 12 and the intermediate shell 13 .

[0050] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the first receiving plate 131 is arranged around the first side of the intermediate shell 13, and the bending shape of the first receiving plate 131 is adapted to the bending shape of the first side; the second receiving plate 132 is arranged around the second side of the intermediate shell 13, and the bending shape of the second receiving plate 132 is adapted to the bending shape of the second side.

[0051] Specifically, the intermediate shell 13 serves as a shell around the steering wheel, and the intermediate shell 13 is provided with convex structures on both sides along the first direction, that is, the intermediate shell 13 is provided with "convex"-shaped structures on both sides along the second direction. Correspondingly, the first receiving plate 131 and the second receiving plate 132 provided on both sides along the first direction of the intermediate shell 13 are adapted to the shape of the intermediate shell 13. The first receiving plate 131 and the second receiving plate 132 can be the same complete plate, and extend upward on both sides of the plate along the first direction, so as to form the first rotation gap 1311 and the second rotation gap 1321. No matter how the first receiving plate 131 and the second receiving plate 132 are provided, they can be fixed relative to the intermediate shell 13, and the first rotation gap 1311 and the second rotation gap 1321 exist to facilitate the water flow.

[0052] Among them, the first receiving plate 131 and the second receiving plate 132 are both arranged in a direction inclined downward on both sides along the second direction. Such an arrangement can be more conducive to the water accumulated in the first rotating gap 1311 and the second rotating gap 1321 to flow to the first water guide grooves 1434 on both sides, thereby realizing the water discharge.

[0053] It should be noted that first water guide grooves 1434 and guide plates are provided on both sides of the vehicle shell structure along the second direction, so as to facilitate water diversion from both sides and improve the waterproof performance.

[0054] It should be supplemented that, the bending shape of only the first receiving plate 131 may be adapted to the bending shape of the first side of the intermediate shell 13, or the bending shape of only the second receiving plate 132 may be adapted to the bending shape of the second side of the intermediate shell 13, as long as the water flow can be guided out to play a waterproof role.

[0055] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the side shell 14 includes an upper shell 1431 and a lower shell 1432 connected to the upper shell 1431; the first water guide groove 1434 is arranged on the side of the upper shell 1431 away from the lower shell 1432, and a second guide channel is arranged between the upper shell 1431 and the lower shell 1432.

[0056] Specifically, the side shell 14 is wrapped around the vehicle frame, with the front side of the vehicle frame being the front side shell 141, the rear side of the vehicle frame being the rear side shell 142, the left side of the vehicle frame along the second direction being the left side shell 144, and the right side of the vehicle frame along the second direction being the right side shell 143. The structures of the left side shell 144 and the right side shell 143 are the same, and the structure of the right side shell 143 is taken as an example for explanation, and the left side shell 144 is not repeated. The right side shell 143 includes an upper shell 1431 and a lower shell 1432 connected to the upper shell 1431, that is, the lower shell 1432 is arranged at a position close to the wheel, and the upper shell 1431 is arranged at a position close to the intermediate shell 13. A second guide channel is provided between the upper shell 1431 and the lower shell 1432, and the provision of the second guide channel can guide the water flowing down from the upper shell 1431 out of the vehicle body, thereby playing a waterproof role.

[0057] Among them, the left shell 144 and the right shell 143 are respectively provided with a first channel between the front shell 141 to facilitate the derivation of water flow. Specifically, the left shell 144 and the right shell 143 are both provided with extension arms at the ends facing the front shell 141. The setting of the extension arms is not only used for snap-fitting with the front shell 141, but also can play a protective role.

That is, the top cross-section of the lower shell 1432 is set in a U shape to form the second water guide groove 1433. The bottom cross-section of the upper shell 1431 is also set in a U shape, so that the bottom of the upper shell 1431 can be inserted into the water guide groove of the lower shell 1432. In this way, when the water flows down along the upper shell 1431, it can flow into the water guide groove and flow out along the second diversion channel formed by the water guide groove. Among them, the water guide groove is set to be inclined downward along the first direction to facilitate the smooth discharge of water.
