Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles capable of traveling on all terrains, featuring a high chassis, suspension with superior shock absorption, tires with good traction, and powerful engines. Compared to ordinary vehicles, ATVs can operate in extremely harsh environments, including but not limited to beaches, mountains, forests, and swamps, and are widely used in farms and recreational areas.

[0003] For all-terrain vehicles with a cab, the cab is typically supported by a cab frame mounted on the vehicle body, with doors on both sides. All-terrain vehicles generally have a windshield located at the front of the cab, which is directly connected to the frame, making installation and removal inconvenient. To meet the requirements for easy installation and removal, a windshield device that is convenient to install and remove is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an all-terrain vehicle and its windshield device, which is easy to install and remove.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An all-terrain vehicle includes: a frame; a running gear connected to the frame; a body panel at least partially disposed on the frame; and a windshield device including a mounting assembly and connected to the frame via the mounting assembly. The windshield device further includes a windshield panel and an outer frame assembly. The windshield panel is made of a colorless, transparent, amorphous thermoplastic material. The outer frame assembly is a split type and includes a first outer frame, a second outer frame, and a connector. The first outer frame and the second outer frame are connected by the connector, and the first and second outer frames surround each other to form a receiving space, within which the windshield panel is disposed.

[0007] Furthermore, the windbreak device also includes a locking assembly. The mounting assembly is located at the upper end of the outer frame assembly, and the locking assembly is located at the lower end of the outer frame assembly. The mounting assembly includes a first rotating member and a second rotating member. The mounting positions of the first rotating member, the second rotating member, and the locking assembly are connected by a line to form a triangular structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting assembly drives the wind deflector to rotate via the first and second rotating components, and the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector is greater than or equal to 60° and less than or equal to 70°.

[0009] Furthermore, the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector is greater than or equal to 62° and less than or equal to 68°.

[0010] Furthermore, the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector is greater than or equal to 64° and less than or equal to 66°.

[0011] Furthermore, the first rotating member and the second rotating member are hinges.

[0012] A windbreak device includes a windbreak panel and an outer frame assembly. The outer frame assembly is configured as a split type and includes a first outer frame, a second outer frame, and a connector. The first outer frame and the second outer frame are connected by the connector. The first outer frame and the second outer frame surround each other to form an accommodating space. The windbreak panel is disposed in the accommodating space.

[0013] Furthermore, a first receiving groove is provided on the inner side of the first outer frame, and a second receiving groove is provided on the inner side of the second outer frame, with the wind deflector being engaged in the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the wind deflector also includes a sealing strip, which is disposed around the periphery of the wind deflector and abuts against the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove.

[0015] Furthermore, the windbreak device also includes a support assembly, which consists of two gas springs, one on each side of the outer frame assembly.

[0016] The all-terrain vehicle provided in this application sets the outer frame assembly as a split type. The outer frame assembly includes a first outer frame, a second outer frame, and a connector. The first outer frame and the second outer frame are connected by the connector. During disassembly and assembly, the windshield can be first snapped into the first outer frame, and then the first outer frame and the second outer frame can be merged together, which greatly improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the windshield device.

[0028] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of this application, the technical solutions in specific embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, an all-terrain vehicle 100 includes a frame 11, a battery pack 12, a running gear 13, a body panel 14, an instrument panel 15, a windshield 16, and a wiper device 17. The frame 11 forms the overall structure of the all-terrain vehicle 100 and supports the body panel 14 and the windshield 16. The battery pack 12 is at least partially mounted on the frame 11, providing electrical power to drive the all-terrain vehicle 100. The running gear 13 propels the all-terrain vehicle 100. The instrument panel 15 is at least partially mounted on the frame 11 and displays driving information and various electrical components, facilitating driver operation. The windshield 16 is mounted at the front of the all-terrain vehicle's cab and connected to the frame 11. The windshield 16 includes a first position state, a second position state, and a third position state, allowing the cab of the all-terrain vehicle 100 to be either closed or ventilated. When the windshield device 16 is in the first position, it is closed; when it is in the second position, it is partially open; and when it is in the third position, it is fully open, with the second and first positions forming an angle smaller than the angle when fully open. A wiper device 17 is mounted on the windshield device 16 to clean it and provide the driver with good visibility. To clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The directions shown are front, back, left, right, up, and down.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wind deflector 16 includes a wind deflector 161, an outer frame assembly 162, a mounting assembly 163, a locking assembly 164, and a support assembly 165. The outer frame assembly 162 forms a receiving space, in which the wind deflector 161 is disposed. The outer frame assembly 162 is rotatably connected to the frame 11 via the mounting assembly 163. The wind deflector 161 is mounted to the outer frame assembly 162 and rotates synchronously with it. The locking assembly 164 is at least partially disposed on the outer frame assembly 162 and is used to cooperate with the mounting assembly 163 to close the wind deflector 161, or, in conjunction with the support assembly 164, to fix the wind deflector 16 at a certain angle when it is in a semi-open state. The support assembly 165 is at least partially disposed on the frame 11 and is used to support the wind deflector 161 when it is open.

[0031] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the wiper assembly 17 includes a wiper blade 171, a drive assembly 172, a nozzle 173, and an operating element 174. The windshield assembly 16 also includes a mounting hole 166 through which the wiper assembly 17 at least partially passes. The wiper blade 171 is disposed on and located outside the windshield 161, and is detachably connected to the windshield 161 via the mounting hole 166, and oscillates relative to the windshield 161 under the drive of the drive assembly 172. The drive assembly 172 is electrically connected to the battery assembly 12 and provides power to the wiper blade 171 and the nozzle 173. The nozzle 173 is detachably connected to the windshield 161 via the mounting hole 166 and sprays water under the control of the drive assembly 172. The nozzle 173 is configured to pass through the windshield 161. The operating component 174 is electrically connected to the wiper blade 171, the drive assembly 172, and the nozzle 173, respectively, and is used to operate the wiper blade 171 and the nozzle 173. The operating component 174 is located in the cab of the all-terrain vehicle 100. Optionally, the operating component 174 can be located on the drive assembly 172 for convenient operation by the driver. It is understood that the operating component 174 can also be located on the dashboard 15, as long as it is convenient for the driver to operate. The wiper device 17 also includes a water pipe (not shown) and a water tank 175. The drive assembly 172 includes a water pump 1721 and a wiper motor 1722. The water pipe is used to connect the water pump and the nozzle 173 and can pump water from the water tank 175 to the nozzle 173.

[0032] As an optional implementation, the windshield 161 is made of a colorless, transparent, amorphous thermoplastic material. As an example, the windshield 161 material can be PC polycarbonate. The special mounting method of the wiper unit 17 is related to the material of the windshield 161. Unlike brittle materials such as glass, PC polycarbonate is not only transparent but also has high strength, toughness, and impact resistance. Furthermore, it is easy to cut and install mounting holes 166. The wiper unit 17 can be directly mounted on the windshield 161 through the mounting holes 166, eliminating the need for mounting points on the vehicle frame 11 or other parts, resulting in a compact overall structure. With this configuration, the wiper unit 17 can be arbitrarily repositioned on the windshield 161 without interference from other components. The positions of the wiper blades 171 and nozzles 173 are easily adjustable, and mounting points can be set according to the driver's seat position of different vehicle models, offering strong versatility. The number of wiper blades 171 and nozzles 173 can also be easily changed. Understandably, the wind deflector 161 can also be made of other transparent materials that have high strength, toughness, and impact resistance, and are easy to cut and drill, as long as the above effects are achieved.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in one optional embodiment, the nozzle 173 is detachably connected to the windshield 161, with the nozzle 173 located on the upper part of the windshield 161 and close to the wiper blade 171. A water pipe connecting the nozzle 173 is arranged substantially along the front edge of the vehicle frame 11, and water from the water tank is sprayed out by the nozzle 173 to clean the windshield 161. The nozzle 173 passes through the windshield 161 and includes a connecting portion 1731 and a water outlet 1732. The nozzle 173 is connected to the windshield 161 via the connecting portion 1731, which is rotatable. In this configuration, the nozzle 173 can be rotated according to the driver's needs to adjust the spray direction. The water outlet 1732 is located outside the driver's cab. The water outlet 1732 allows water to spray within a preset range. In one embodiment, the water outlet 1732 can be configured with two water outlets arranged circumferentially around the nozzle 173. It is understood that the water spray range of the water outlet 1732 is basically fan-shaped, meaning that the water outlet 1732 can spray a water surface of a preset area. It is also understood that the water spray surface emitted by the water outlet 1732 has a certain degree of divergence. Based on the road conditions of the all-terrain vehicle, it is sufficient for the water spray surfaces of the two water outlets 1732 to cover a preset area; that is, the water spray surfaces of the two water outlets 1732 do not need to intersect or overlap to meet the water spraying requirements. As one implementation, the included angle α between the two water outlets is set to be greater than or equal to 70° and less than or equal to 110°. As an optional implementation, the included angle α between the two water outlets can also be set to be greater than or equal to 80° and less than or equal to 100°. As an optional implementation, the included angle α between the two water outlets can also be set to be greater than or equal to 90° and less than or equal to 95°. In some preferred implementations, the included angle between the two water outlets can also be set such that the water spray surfaces of the two water outlets 1732 intersect or partially overlap. In this configuration, the spray area of ​​nozzle 173 can effectively coordinate with wiper blade 171 to clean the windshield without interfering with the driver's vision. The spray area and the operating range of wiper blade 171 are minimally overlapped within the range where the angle between the two water outlets is greater than or less than angle α. Understandably, the angle α between the two water outlets can be set to 85°, 88°, 108°, etc.

[0034] Understandably, the number of water outlets can be set to three or more, and the number of nozzles 173 can be set to two or more. This can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the vehicle. This setup not only meets cleaning requirements but also simplifies the layout, reduces interference between water pipes and other components, and is more aesthetically pleasing, minimizing distractions for the driver.

[0035] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the wiper blade 171 is disposed on the upper part of the windshield 161 and is substantially located on the central axis of the all-terrain vehicle 100. It can be understood that the wiper blade 171 can also be disposed slightly towards the driver's seat. In one embodiment, there can be one wiper blade 171. The wiper blade 171 includes a rotating shaft 1711, and the wiper blade 171 swings back and forth around the rotating shaft 1711 under the control of the drive assembly 172. The maximum swing angle β of the wiper blade 171 is set to be greater than or equal to 150° and less than or equal to 170°. In an optional embodiment, the maximum swing angle β of the wiper blade 171 can also be set to be greater than or equal to 155° and less than or equal to 165°. In another optional embodiment, the maximum swing angle β of the wiper blade 171 can also be set to be greater than or equal to 158° and less than or equal to 162°. In this configuration, the wiper blade 171 can effectively coordinate with the spray area of ​​the nozzle 173 to clean the windshield 161. When the maximum rotation angle of the wiper blade 171 exceeds the maximum swing angle β, the wiper blade 171 will interfere with other components. When the maximum rotation angle of the wiper blade 171 is less than the maximum swing angle β, the cleaning effect of the wiper blade 171 is insufficient. It is understandable that the maximum swing angle β of the wiper blade 171 can be set to 156°, 161°, 168°, etc.

[0036] In one alternative embodiment, the drive assembly 172 includes a control unit 1723. Under the control command of the operating element 174, the operating element 174 can transmit control commands to the control unit 1723 in response to external forces. The control unit 1723 can determine the indication results for the wiper blade 171 and the nozzle 173 according to the control commands from the button. The indication results can indicate whether the wiper blade 171 is turned on or off and whether the nozzle 173 is spraying water.

[0037] Specifically, the control unit 1723 of the drive assembly 172 can be connected to the operating element 174 via a cable. When the driver operates the operating element 174, the control unit 1723 can receive the instructions transmitted by the operating element 174 and determine the driver's indication of the wiper blades 171 and the nozzles 173 based on the instructions. The operating element 174 can be configured as a button. The button responds to the force applied by the driver through contact, pressing, or other means to generate a control command and transmits the command to the control unit 1723. Based on the command, the control unit determines the driver's indication of the wiper blades 171 and the nozzles 173, such as "turn on the wipers," "turn on the wipers and washer simultaneously," or "turn off the wipers and washer."

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, in one implementation, the outer frame component 162 can be configured as a split type, comprising a first outer frame 1621, a second outer frame 1622, and a connector 1623. In one optional embodiment, the first outer frame 1621 is configured as the upper outer frame, and the second outer frame 1622 is configured as the lower outer frame. The first outer frame 1621 and the second outer frame 1622 are connected by the connector 1623 to form a complete outer frame, which surrounds and forms an accommodating space. In another optional embodiment, the outer frame component 162 can also be configured as a left-right split type. For example, the outer frame component 162 may include a left outer frame component (not shown) and a right outer frame component (not shown). Furthermore, the outer frame component 162 is not necessarily composed of only two outer frames; it can be configured as a combination of three or more outer frames, depending on the actual installation positions of other components. It is understood that the outer frame component 162 can also be configured as a single unit, as long as it achieves the basic functions of the outer frame component 162 and is easy to install.

[0039] Specifically, the first outer frame 1621 is provided with a first connecting portion 1621a and a second connecting portion 1621b, and the second outer frame 1622 is provided with a third connecting portion 1622a and a fourth connecting portion 1622b. The first connecting portion 1621a and the second connecting portion 1621b are respectively located on both sides of the opening end of the first outer frame 162, and correspondingly, the third connecting portion 1622a and the fourth connecting portion 1622b are respectively located on both sides of the opening end of the second outer frame 1622. The first connecting portion 1621a is connected to the third connecting portion 1622a through a connector 1623, and the second connecting portion 1621b is connected to the fourth connecting portion 1622b through a connector 1623. The first connecting part 1621a is provided with a threaded hole 1621c, and the third connecting part 1622a is provided with a threaded hole 1622c (not shown in the figure). The connector 1623 is a screw, which passes through the threaded holes 1621c and 1622c to connect the first connecting part 1621a and the third connecting part 1622a. In an optional embodiment, the number of threaded holes 1621c, 1622c, and screws can all be set to three. It is understood that the number of threaded holes 1621c, 1622c, and screws can also be set to two, four, or more, as long as it meets the actual connection requirements. The first connecting part 1621a, the third connecting part 1622a, and the connector 1623 can also be combined and fixed in other ways, such as riveting, insertion, center connection, etc. It is understandable that the connection method between the second connecting part 1621b and the fourth connecting part 1622b is similar to the connection principle between the first connecting part 1621a and the third connecting part 1622a, and will not be described again here.

[0040] like Figure 7As shown, the inner side of the first outer frame 1621 is provided with a first receiving groove 1621d for installing the wind deflector 161, and the inner side of the second outer frame 1622 is provided with a second receiving groove 1622d. The first receiving groove 1621d and the second receiving groove 1622d are arranged as inner rings that are basically distributed along the outer frame. After the first outer frame 1621 and the second outer frame 1622 are connected, the first receiving groove 1621d and the second receiving groove 1622d can form a basically connected channel, and the wind deflector 161 can be snapped into the space formed by the outer frame assembly 162. The opening size of the first receiving groove 1621d and the second receiving groove 1622d is basically the same as the thickness of the outer periphery of the wind deflector 161. A sealing strip 1611 is also provided on the periphery of the wind deflector 161. This arrangement helps to improve the strength and airtightness of the wind deflector 16.

[0041] In one optional embodiment, when assembling the wind deflector 161, the wind deflector 161 can be first combined with the first outer frame 1621, with the wind deflector 161 snapping into the first receiving groove 1621d. Then, the wind deflector 161 can be combined with the second outer frame 1622, with the wind deflector 161 snapping into the second receiving groove 1622d. Alternatively, the wind deflector 161 can be first combined with the second outer frame 1622, with the wind deflector 161 snapping into the second receiving groove 1622d. Then, the wind deflector 161 can be combined with the first outer frame 1621, with the wind deflector 161 snapping into the first receiving groove 1621d. Finally, the first outer frame 1621 and the second outer frame 162 are connected by the connector 1623 to complete the assembly. With this configuration, the first outer frame 1621 and the second outer frame 1622 can be detachably connected, reducing the assembly difficulty of the outer frame assembly 162 and improving the installation efficiency of the outer frame assembly 162.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, mounting assembly 163 is disposed on the upper end of outer frame assembly 162 and is at least partially rotatably connected to the frame 11. Mounting assembly 163 includes a rotating member. In one implementation, two rotating members can be provided, including a first rotating member 1631 and a second rotating member 1632. The first rotating member 1631 and the second rotating member 1632 can be configured as a hinge connecting the frame 11 and the outer frame assembly 162. On a straight line 101 extending laterally along the all-terrain vehicle 100, the rotating member can drive the windshield device 16 to rotate around the straight line 101. Specifically, the windshield device 16 can rotate around the rotating member in a preset direction to a preset angle. More specifically, the maximum rotation angle γ of the windshield device 16 is set to be greater than or equal to 60° and less than or equal to 70°. In an optional implementation, the maximum rotation angle γ of the windshield device 16 can also be set to be greater than or equal to 62° and less than or equal to 68°. In an optional implementation, the maximum rotation angle γ of the windshield device 16 can also be set to be greater than or equal to 64° and less than or equal to 66°. In this configuration, the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector 16 is at a suitable angle, providing both adequate open space and easy opening and closing in conjunction with the support assembly 165. It is understandable that if the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector 16 is set greater than this range, in the fully open state, the projection of the wind deflector 16 in the front-to-back direction will exceed the height of the all-terrain vehicle 100's cab. The wind force generated when the all-terrain vehicle 100 is in motion could easily damage the wind deflector 16, posing a risk of breakage. If the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector 16 is set less than this range, in the fully open state, the requirement for sufficient ventilation is not met. It is understandable that the maximum rotation angle γ of the wind deflector 16 can be set to 61°, 63°, 67°, etc. Figure 6 As shown, the first rotating component 1631 includes a connecting shaft 1631a, a first connecting portion 1631b, and a second connecting portion 1631c. The hinge can rotate around the connecting shaft 1631a. The connecting shaft 1631a is configured to be substantially aligned with the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The first connecting portion 1631b has a through hole with an opening aligned with the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The second connecting portion 1631c also has a through hole with an opening aligned with the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The connecting shaft 1631a passes through the first connecting portion 1631b and the second connecting portion 1631c. The connection principle of the second rotating component 1632 is similar to that of the first rotating component 1631, and will not be described further here. It is understood that the number of rotating components can also be set to three, four, or more, as long as the actual connection requirements are met.

[0043] like Figure 3As shown, the support assembly 165 includes gas springs. In one implementation, two gas springs can be used, respectively positioned on the left and right sides of the outer frame assembly 162. One end of each gas spring is attached to the frame 11, and the other end is attached to the outer frame assembly 162. The support assembly 165 can extend and retract, providing a certain preload. In one optional embodiment, when the windshield 16 is closed, the support assembly 165 is substantially parallel to the outer frame assembly 162, and is in a retracted state. During the opening of the windshield 16, the axis of the support assembly 165 forms a certain angle with the plane of the outer frame assembly 162, and the support assembly 165 extends, providing an upward force to the windshield 16. When the windshield 16 is opened to its maximum position, the support assembly 165 extends to its longest position, at which point it is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the outer frame assembly 162.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking assembly 164 is located at the lower end of the outer frame assembly 162. The windshield device 16 includes fully open, partially open, and closed states, and the locking assembly 164 includes connected and disconnected states. When the windshield device 16 is in the closed state, the locking assembly 164 is in the connected state, connecting the windshield device 16 to the dashboard 15. The mounting positions of the first rotating member 1631, the second rotating member 1632, and the locking assembly 164 form a triangular structure, making the connection between the outer frame assembly 162 and the vehicle frame 11 more stable. Adjusting the locking assembly 164 and pushing the windshield device 16 forward allows the windshield device 16 to enter the partially open state. When the windshield device 16 is in the partially open state, the locking assembly 164 is in the connected state, connecting the windshield device 16 to the dashboard 15. At this time, adjusting the locking assembly 164 can adjust the opening angle of the windshield device 16. Adjust the locking assembly 164 and continue to push the wind deflector 16 forward. The wind deflector 16 can enter the fully open state. When the wind deflector 16 is in the fully open state, the locking assembly 164 is in the open state. One part of the locking assembly 164 is located on the wind deflector 16, and the other part is located on the dashboard 15. The two parts are not connected.

[0045] like Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, in one optional implementation, the locking assembly 164 includes a first fastener 1641, a second fastener 1642, and an operating member 1643. The first fastener 1641 is disposed on the outer frame assembly 162 and is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the outer frame assembly 162. The second fastener 1642 is disposed on the dashboard 165 and is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the outer frame assembly 162. The operating member 1643 can open and close the wind deflector 16 and control the opening angle of the wind deflector 16 by connecting the first fastener 1641 and the second fastener 1642.

[0046] Optionally, the second fastener 1642 is provided with a receiving groove 1642a, which extends along the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle. The operating member 1643 includes a shaft portion 1643a, which is at least partially disposed within the receiving groove 1642a and can slide left and right within the receiving groove. The two ends of the receiving groove 1642a are configured as upwardly protruding closed spaces to accommodate and restrict the sliding of the operating member 1643 within a preset range. The side of the second fastener 1642 near the driver is recessed downward to form a first limiting portion 1642b and a second limiting portion 1642c. The operating member 1643 also includes a handle portion 1643b, which can be placed in the first limiting portion 1642b or the second limiting portion 1642c. The first fastener 1641 is recessed inward on the side near the operating member 1643 to form a first mating part 1641a and a second mating part 1641b. The first mating part 1641a and the second mating part 1641b can be respectively configured as through holes and / or grooves with openings facing the operating member 1643 in the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The first fastener 1641 also includes a raised handle part 1641c. The surface of the handle part 1641c is configured with an embossed pattern to increase friction. The driver can apply force to open or close the windshield device 16 through the handle part 1641c. The operating member 1643 also includes an elastic element (not shown). The elastic element can be configured as a spring. The spring is disposed in the receiving groove 1642a and is at least partially connected to the insert shaft part 1643a. When the insert shaft part 1643a slides in the receiving groove 1642a, it provides a preload force in the left-right direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. When the handle portion 1643b is in the first limiting portion 1642b, the first fastener 1641 disengages from the second fastener 1642, and the wind deflector 16 is fully open. When the handle portion 1643b is in the second limiting portion 1642c, the insert shaft portion 1643a can be placed in either the first mating portion 1641a or the second mating portion 1641b. When the insert shaft portion 1643a can be placed in the first mating portion 1641a, the wind deflector 16 is fully closed. When the insert shaft portion 1643a is placed in the second mating portion 1641b, the support assembly 165 partially extends, and the first fastener 1641 cooperates with the support assembly 165 to support and maintain the wind deflector 16 at a fixed opening angle. The wind deflector 16 is in a semi-open state, and the fixed opening angle of the wind deflector 16 is greater than 0° and less than or equal to 10°. As an optional embodiment, the fixed opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can also be set to greater than 2° and less than or equal to 8°. As an alternative implementation, the fixed opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can also be set to be greater than or equal to 4° and less than or equal to 6°. In this embodiment, the fixed opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can be set to 9°. In this setting, the wind deflector 16 opens at a relatively small angle, which can provide a suitable ventilation opening without affecting the driving of the vehicle.Understandably, the fixed opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can be set to 5°, 7°, etc. The fixed opening angle of the wind deflector 16 refers to the angle between the projections of the wind deflector 16 along the left and right directions when the wind deflector 16 is in the fully closed position and the fixed open position, respectively.

[0047] Figure 10 and Figure 11 The image shows a windbreak device 16 and a locking component 164 adapted to the windbreak device 16 in the second embodiment of this application. It has the same outer frame component 162, mounting component 163 and support component 165 as the first embodiment. The parts that are compatible with the first embodiment and this embodiment can be applied to this embodiment. The following only describes the parts that are different from the first embodiment.

[0048] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 164 includes a first fixing member 1644, a second fixing member 1645, and an adjusting member 1646. The first fixing member 1644 can be disposed on the second outer frame 1622. The first fixing member 1644 is configured to be fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the second outer frame 1622, and the first fixing member 1644 is substantially perpendicular to the second outer frame 1622. The first fixing member 1644 is configured to extend substantially along the front-rear direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The first fixing member 1644 includes a first end 1644a for connecting to the outer frame assembly and a second end 1644b for connecting to the second fastener 1645. The first end 1644a is a closed end, and the second end 1644b is an open end. The inner contour of the first fixing member 1644 projected in the left-right direction is approximately U-shaped. The closed end is disposed at the bottom of the U-shape and connected to the second outer frame 1622, and the open end is disposed at the opening of the U-shape with the opening facing the second fixing member 1645. The left and right ends of the first fixing member 1644 are connected, and the upper and lower ends are closed to form a receiving space. The adjusting member 1646 is at least partially disposed within this receiving space. The adjusting member 1646 can enter the receiving space from the second end 1644b and slide between the first end 1644a and the second end 1644b. The first end 1644a is connected to the outer frame assembly 162. The first end 1644a extends upward to form an upwardly protruding handle portion 1644c. The surface of the handle portion 1644c is set with a textured surface to increase friction. The driver can apply force to open or close the windshield device 16 through the handle portion 1644c. After the windshield device 16 is adjusted to a suitable position, the adjusting member 1646 provides a preload force in the left and right direction. At this time, the windshield device 16 can be opened within a certain angle range and maintain an arbitrary opening angle. The windshield device 16 is in a half-open state. The arbitrary opening angle of the windshield device 16 is greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 15°. As an optional implementation, the arbitrary opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can also be set to be greater than 0° and less than or equal to 10°. As another optional implementation, the arbitrary opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can also be set to be greater than or equal to 0° and less than or equal to 6°. In this embodiment, the arbitrary opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can be set to 12°. With this setting, the wind deflector 16 can be opened to a suitable angle within the numerical range of the arbitrary opening angle under the driver's control, allowing for appropriate ventilation levels that can be adjusted according to the environment or the driver's physical comfort. It is understood that the arbitrary opening angle of the wind deflector 16 can be set to 5°, 7°, 13°, etc. The arbitrary opening angle of the wind deflector 16 refers to the angle projected along the left-right direction when the wind deflector 16 is in a fully closed position and at any open position within a certain range.

[0049] As an optional implementation, the second fixing member 1645 is disposed on the instrument panel 15 and is fixedly connected to or integrally formed with the instrument panel 15. One end of the second fixing member 1645 is recessed downward in the left-right direction to form a relatively gentle platform portion 1645a. The upper end surface of the platform portion 1645a forms a certain angle with the ground, and the space formed by the recess is used to place the first fixing member 1644. The sum of the projection heights of the first fixing member 1644 and the platform portion 1645a in the left-right direction is basically the same as the projection height of the second fixing member 1645 in the left-right direction. The adjusting member 1646 includes an operating portion 1646a and a screw portion (not shown). The second fixing member 1645 is also provided with a threaded hole (not shown), and the screw portion is connected to the adjusting member 1646 through the threaded hole. The operating part 1646a extends in the left-right direction above the platform part 1645a and is a certain distance away from the upper surface of the platform part 1645a. Twisting the operating part 1646a can move the adjusting member 1646 a certain distance in the left-right direction. When the wind deflector 16 is fully closed, the first fixing member 1644 is above the platform part 1645a, and the adjusting member 1646 passes through the first fixing member 1644 and provides a preload force in the left-right direction. At this time, the first fixing member 1644 can abut against the second fixing member 1645 under the action of the adjusting member 1646.

[0050] It is understood that the first fastener 1644 can also be configured such that the inner contour of the projection along the vertical direction is approximately U-shaped, and the adjusting member 1646 extends along the vertical direction and passes through the first fastener 1644 to provide preload along the vertical direction.

[0051] When the wind deflector 16 is closed, the first fixing member 1644 abuts against the second fixing member 1645 under the action of the adjusting member 1646. When the wind deflector 16 is opened, the operating part 1646a needs to be turned to loosen the adjusting member 1646, and then the first fixing member 1644 needs to be pushed so that the adjusting member 1646 moves within the internal space of the first fixing member 1644. After the adjusting member 1646 moves from the closed end to the open end to a suitable position, the adjusting member 1646 is tightened, thus fixing the wind deflector 16 at an angle. It can be understood that during the process of the adjusting member 1646 moving within the internal space of the first fixing member 1644, the first fixing member 1644 and the second fixing member 1645 are not completely separated. At this time, tightening the operating part 1646a causes the first fixing member 1644 to abut against the second fixing member 1645 under the action of the adjusting member. When the adjusting member 1646 moves from the closed end to the open end, the wind deflector 16 can be fixed within any opening angle range. If the adjusting member 1646 slides out from the open end and separates from the first fixing member 1644, and the first fixing member 1644 separates from the second fixing member 1645, the windshield device 16 continues to rotate upward under the thrust of the driver and the support assembly 165, reaching a predetermined position, and the windshield device 16 is fully opened. By setting the first fixing member 1644, the second fixing member 1645, and the adjusting member 1646, not only can the windshield device 16 be opened or closed, but it can also be opened at any angle within a certain range.

[0052] In this application, the outer frame assembly 162 is configured as a split type, comprising a first outer frame 1621, a second outer frame 1622, and a connector 1623. During installation, the wind deflector 161 first snaps into the first outer frame 1621 and the second outer frame 1622, and then the first outer frame 1621 and the second outer frame are connected by the connector 1623 to complete the assembly. This configuration allows the first outer frame 1621 to be detachably connected to the second outer frame 1622, reducing the assembly difficulty of the outer frame assembly 162 and improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the outer frame assembly 162.

[0053] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
