Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and more particularly to an all-terrain vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles capable of traveling on any terrain, navigating areas where ordinary vehicles struggle. They are also known as beach buggies. ATVs typically include a tail box; existing models with a 1' tail box are as follows... Figure 1 As shown, a typical tailgate includes a body 2' and a top cover 3'. To facilitate accessing items from the tailgate, a support rod assembly 4' is installed inside to allow the top cover 3' to open relative to the body 2'. Existing support rod assemblies 4' generally employ a hook-and-loop structure, with one end hinged to the body 2' and the other end being a movable end. The body 2' has a hook groove 22' that mates with the movable end, and the top cover 3' has a slot 30' that mates with the movable end. When the tailgate needs to be opened, the movable end is inserted into the slot 30', causing the top cover 3' to open at a certain angle relative to the body 2'. Figure 2 As shown, when the tailgate needs to be closed, the movable end is hooked into the hooking slot 22' so that the top cover 3' is pressed against the box body 2'. This type of support rod assembly 4' is prone to slipping during use, the opening angle is not adjustable, and when opening the tailgate, one hand needs to hold the top cover 3' while the other hand operates the support rod assembly 4', which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0079] It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments in this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0080] The terminology used in the embodiments of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this application and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0081] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0082] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" described in the embodiments of this application are used to describe the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this application. Furthermore, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected "upper" or "lower" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower," or indirectly connected to the other element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element.

[0083] This application provides an all-terrain vehicle, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the all-terrain vehicle 100 includes a frame 5, a cab 6, wheels 7, a power unit (not shown in the figure) and a tail box 1. The cab 6 is located at the front of the frame 5 and a seat is installed inside the cab 6. The wheels 7 are located at the bottom of the frame. The power unit is located inside the frame 5 and is used to drive the frame 5 to move. The tail box 1 is located on the frame 5 and is located behind the cab 6.

[0084] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tail box 1 includes a box body 2, a top cover 3, and a support rod assembly 4. The top cover 3 is hinged to the box body 2. The support rod assembly 4 includes an elastic element 41. The first end 411 of the elastic element 41 is connected to the box body 2, and the second end 412 of the elastic element 41 is connected to the top cover 3. Specifically, the elastic element 41 can be a spring. The spring can be right-handed, with a total of 127 turns, an initial tension of 29N, no scratches on the surface, no burrs on the cut, and hooks at both ends, each with 1.65 turns, tightly fastened. The surface is untreated.

[0085] The tailgate 1 in this embodiment includes a body 2 and an upper cover 3 hinged to the body 2. The opening angle of the upper cover 3 relative to the body 2 is controlled by a strut assembly 4. The strut assembly 4 includes an elastic element 41. The first end 411 of the elastic element 41 is connected to the body 2, and the second end 412 of the elastic element 41 is connected to the upper cover 3. Utilizing the elasticity of the elastic element 41, the angle of the upper cover 3 relative to the body 2 can be adjusted, and the upper cover 3 can be opened quickly. Compared with existing strut assemblies, the strut assembly 4 of this application can increase the opening angle of the tailgate 1 at any time. After the upper cover 3 is opened to a specific angle, the angle between the upper cover 3 and the body 2 can be further adjusted. Moreover, opening the tailgate 1 can be completed with just one hand, saving time and effort. The elastic element 41 has stronger durability than existing plastic strut assemblies.

[0086] In another specific embodiment, when the tailgate 1 is opened, the elastic element 41 deforms, causing the top cover 3 to open relative to the box body 2 at a certain angle. Specifically, the angle is greater than or equal to 20° and less than or equal to 80°.

[0087] In this embodiment, when the tailgate 1 is opened, the elastic element 41 deforms, allowing the upper cover 3 to open at a certain angle relative to the box body. The opening angle of the upper cover 3 relative to the box body varies depending on the installation position of the elastic element 41 on the upper cover 3 and the box body 2. An angle greater than or equal to 20° and less than or equal to 80° can meet the design requirements for most operating conditions of the tailgate 1. If the tailgate 1 contains small parts or items, the angle can be relatively smaller, for example, greater than or equal to 20° and less than or equal to 45°. If the tailgate 1 contains large parts or items, the angle can be relatively larger, for example, greater than or equal to 45° and less than or equal to 80°.

[0088] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the strut assembly 4 also includes a first connector 42, and the second end 412 of the elastic member 41 is connected to the upper cover 3 through the first connector 42.

[0089] In this embodiment, the strut assembly 4 also includes a first connector 42. The second end 412 of the elastic member 41 is stably connected to the upper cover 3 through the first connector 42, so that the elastic member 41 is not easy to slip off the upper cover 3 during use, thus affecting its normal use.

[0090] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first connector 42 includes a first mounting bracket 421 and a first hanging rod 422. The first mounting bracket 421 is connected to the upper cover 3. The first mounting bracket 421 has a first mounting groove 4210. The first hanging rod 422 is installed in the first mounting groove 4210. The first end 411 of the elastic member 41 is hooked onto the first hanging rod 422.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first connector 42 includes a first mounting bracket 421 and a first hanging rod 422. The first mounting bracket 421 has a first mounting groove 4210. The first hanging rod 422 is installed in the first mounting groove 4210. The first mounting groove 4210 can protect the first hanging rod 422 and prevent the first hanging rod 422 from being damaged during use, thus affecting the connection of the elastic member 41.

[0092] In another specific embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first mounting bracket 421 includes a first mounting plate 421a, a first side plate 421b, and a second side plate 421c. The first mounting plate 421a is connected to the upper cover 3. A first mounting hole 4211 is formed on the first mounting plate 421a. The first side plate 421b is connected to one side of the first mounting plate 421a. The second side plate 421c is connected to the side of the first mounting plate 421a opposite to the first side plate 421b. A first mounting groove 4210 is formed between the second side plate 421c, the first side plate 421b, and the first mounting plate 421a. Specifically, the first side plate 421b and the second side plate 421c can be triangular plates.

[0093] One end of the first hanging rod 422 is connected to the end of the first side plate 421b that is away from the first mounting plate 421a, and the other end is connected to the end of the second side plate 421c that is away from the first mounting plate 421a.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first mounting bracket 421 forms a stable frame structure with a first mounting plate 421a, a first side plate 421b, and a second side plate 421c. The first mounting plate 421a can be fixedly connected to the upper cover 3 by passing an internal hexagonal bolt through the first mounting hole 4211, so as to achieve a stable connection between the first mounting bracket 421 and the upper cover 3. The first side plate 421b and the second side plate 421c are used to stably install the first hanging rod 422, which further facilitates the hanging of the first end 411 of the elastic member 41.

[0095] In one specific embodiment, the strut assembly 4 further includes a second connector 43, and the first end 411 of the elastic member 41 is connected to the housing 2 through the second connector 43.

[0096] In this embodiment, as Figure 6 As shown, the strut assembly 4 also includes a second connector 43. The first end 411 of the elastic member 41 is stably connected to the housing 2 through the second connector 43, so that the elastic member 41 is not easy to slip off the housing 2 during use and affect its normal use.

[0097] Specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second connector 43 includes a second mounting bracket 431 and a second hanging rod 432. The second mounting bracket 431 is connected to the housing 2. The second mounting bracket 431 has a second mounting groove 4310. The second hanging rod 432 is installed in the second mounting groove 4310. The second end 412 of the elastic member 41 is hooked onto the second hanging rod 432.

[0098] In this embodiment, the second connector 43 includes a second mounting bracket 431 and a second hanging rod 432. The second mounting bracket 431 is used to connect to the housing 2. The second hanging rod 432 is installed in the second mounting groove 4310 of the second mounting bracket 431. The second mounting groove 4310 can protect the second hanging rod 432, preventing it from being damaged during use and affecting the hanging of the elastic element 41. At the same time, it provides space for the hanging of the elastic element 41, which is beneficial to the installation of the elastic element 41.

[0099] In another specific embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the second mounting bracket 431 includes a U-shaped plate 431a and a second mounting plate 431b. The U-shaped plate 431a has a second mounting groove 4310. The second mounting plate 431b is connected to one side of the U-shaped plate 431a. A second mounting hole 4311 is provided on the second mounting plate 431b.

[0100] In this embodiment, the second mounting bracket 431 includes a "U"-shaped plate 431a and a second mounting plate 431b. The design of the "U"-shaped plate 431a facilitates the formation of the second mounting groove 4310 and the installation of the second hanging rod 432. The second mounting plate 431b is used to connect with the housing 2. The second mounting plate 431b can be fixedly connected to the top cover by passing hexagonal bolts through the second mounting hole 4311. There can be two second mounting plates 431b, which are located at one end of one side of the "U"-shaped plate 431a, making the installation of the second mounting bracket 431 on the housing 2 more stable.

[0101] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the housing 2 has multiple third mounting holes 20 that mate with the second mounting hole 4311.

[0102] In this embodiment, multiple third mounting holes 20 are provided on the housing 2 to mate with the second mounting hole 4311. In actual use, the second connector 43 can be installed on the third mounting holes 20 at different positions through the second mounting hole 4311, so that the natural opening and closing angle of the top cover 3 relative to the housing 2 meets the actual usage requirements.

[0103] In another specific embodiment, a first slider is provided on the first connector 42, and a first guide groove is provided on the upper cover 3 to cooperate with the first slider; a first limiting hole is provided in the first guide groove, and a first limiting block is provided on the first slider to cooperate with the first limiting hole.

[0104] In this embodiment, a first slider is provided on the first connector 42, and a first guide groove is provided on the upper cover 3 to cooperate with the first slider. Through the cooperation of the slider and the guide groove, the opening and closing angle of the upper cover 3 relative to the housing 2 can be adjusted in real time. A first limiting hole is provided in the first guide groove, and a first limiting block is provided on the first slider to cooperate with the first limiting hole. Through the cooperation of the limiting hole and the limiting block, the support rod assembly 4 can be stably stopped at the required opening and closing angle.

[0105] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, a second slider (not shown in the figure) is provided on the second connector 43, and a second guide groove 21 that cooperates with the second slider is provided on the housing 2; a second limiting hole 210 is provided in the second guide groove 21, and a second limiting block (not shown in the figure) that cooperates with the second limiting hole 210 is provided on the second slider.

[0106] In this embodiment, a second slider is provided on the second connector 43, and a second guide groove 21 that cooperates with the second slider is provided on the housing 2. Through the cooperation of the slider and the guide groove, the second connector 43 slides back and forth in the second guide groove to adjust the opening and closing angle of the upper cover 3 relative to the housing 2 in real time. A second limiting hole 210 is provided in the second guide groove 21, and a second limiting block that cooperates with the second limiting hole 210 is provided on the second slider. Through the cooperation of the limiting hole and the limiting block, the support rod assembly 4 can be stably stopped at the required opening and closing angle.

[0107] In another specific embodiment, the strut assembly 4 is made of stainless steel. Specifically, the strut assembly 4 can be made of 304 stainless steel. Compared with the original strut assembly made of PA6+GF20 material, the strut assembly 4 of this application has stronger anti-aging strength and higher durability.
