In the present application, the length direction of the frame 11 refers to the front-rear direction in the frame 11, the width direction of the frame 11 refers to the left-right direction in the frame 11, and the height direction of the frame 11 refers to the top-bottom direction in the frame 11.

[0030] The frame 11 serves as the basic frame of the all-terrain vehicle 100, and is used to support the body covering 12, the running system 13, the suspension system 14, the power assembly 15 and the electrical system 18. The body covering 12 is at least partially connected to the frame 11. The running system 13 is at least partially located below the frame 11, and the suspension system 14 connects the running system 13 to the frame 11. Specifically, the running system 13 comprises front wheels 131 and rear wheels 132, and the front wheels 131 and the rear wheels 132 are both connected to the frame 11 through the suspension system 14. The power assembly 15 is in driving connection with the running system 13, and specifically, the power assembly 15 can be in driving connection with at least one of the front wheels 131 or the rear wheels 132. The electrical system 18 can be supported by the frame 11, and is used to display the running data of the all-terrain vehicle 100, control the operation of the all-terrain vehicle 100, etc.

[0031] Specifically, the frame 11 comprises a front frame 111, a middle frame 112 and a rear frame 113 connected in sequence. Along the length direction of the frame 11, the middle frame 112 is located between the front frame 111 and the rear frame 113. The body covering 12 is at least partially connected to the middle frame 112, and forms a driver's cabin 20 with the middle frame 112, which is used to provide a seating space for the driver and / or passengers.

[0032] In the present embodiment, the middle frame 112 comprises a front pillar 1121, a pillar assembly 1122 and a rear pillar 1123. The pillar assembly 1122 is located between the front pillar 1121 and the rear pillar 1123. For the all-terrain vehicle 100, the front pillar 1121 is the A-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100, the pillar assembly 1122 is the B-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100, and the rear pillar 1123 is the C-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, as an embodiment, the vehicle body cover 12 comprises a front bulkhead 121, which is connected with the front frame 111 and located in front of the cab 20, so as to isolate the electrical system 18 on the front frame 111 from the cab 20, thereby improving the safety of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The electrical system 18 comprises an instrument panel 181 supported by the frame 11 and located in the cab 20, and the instrument panel 181 is used to install an instrument panel. The frame 11 further comprises a mounting skeleton 114, and the instrument panel 181 is located on and connected with the mounting skeleton 114. Specifically, in the height direction of the frame 11, the highest part of the instrument panel 181 is lower than the highest part of the front bulkhead 121, and the mounting skeleton 114 is detachably connected with the middle frame 112, and the front bulkhead 121 is an integral part. When the mounting skeleton 114 and the middle frame 112 are in a detached state, the front bulkhead 121 can be installed from inside the cab 20 to the front of the cab 20 and connected with the front frame 111. Through the above arrangement, it can be avoided that the mounting skeleton 114 integrally formed with the frame 11 interferes with the assembly of the front bulkhead 121, thereby facilitating the assembly efficiency of the all-terrain vehicle 100. Moreover, when assembling the front bulkhead 121, the mounting skeleton 114 is detached from the frame 11, so that the mounting skeleton 114 does not interfere with the assembly of the front bulkhead 121, thereby facilitating the assembly of the complete front bulkhead 121 to the frame 11, avoiding the sealing between the front bulkhead 121 being reduced due to the disassembly of the front bulkhead 121, so that the front bulkhead 121 is an integral part, thereby facilitating the sealing of the front bulkhead 121, avoiding the gas in front of the all-terrain vehicle 100 leaking into the cab 20, and facilitating the driving comfort of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0034] In the embodiment, when the mounting skeleton 114 and the middle frame 112 are in a detached state, the middle frame 112 has a mounting passage 1125 extending to the front frame 111 in the length direction of the frame 11, and the front bulkhead 121 can pass through the mounting passage 1125 and be connected with the front frame 111. Through the above arrangement, it can be facilitated that the front bulkhead 121 is assembled from inside the cab 20 through the middle frame 112, thereby facilitating the installation efficiency of the front bulkhead 121. At the same time, the detached mounting skeleton 114 does not interfere with the assembly of the front bulkhead 121, thereby facilitating the assembly of the complete front bulkhead 121 with the frame 11.

[0035] Specifically, the front pillar 1121 includes a first front pillar 1121a and a second front pillar 1121b, which are distributed along the width direction of the frame 11, and the two ends of the mounting skeleton 114 are detachably connected with the first front pillar 1121a and the second front pillar 1121b, respectively. Through the above arrangement, it is beneficial to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the mounting skeleton 114 on the first front pillar 1121a and the second front pillar 1121b. At the same time, in the present embodiment, the first front pillar 1121a and the second front pillar 1121b are part of the main frame structure constituting the cockpit 20, so the stability of the first front pillar 1121a and the second front pillar 1121b is higher, thereby facilitating the improvement of the structural stability of the mounting skeleton 114 connected with the first front pillar 1121a and the second front pillar 1121b.

[0036] More specifically, the contact between the mounting skeleton 114 and the middle frame 112 is a surface contact, and the mounting skeleton 114 and the middle frame 112 are detachably connected at the surface contact through fasteners. In the present embodiment, the connection mode of surface contact can increase the connection area of the mounting skeleton 114 and the middle frame 112, thereby improving the connection stability between the mounting skeleton 114 and the middle frame 112.

[0037] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , as an embodiment, the front panel 121 includes a panel fixing part 1211 connected with the frame 11. Specifically, define the contact surface of the mounting skeleton 114 with the middle frame 112 as a first surface 1141, and define the contact surface of the middle frame 112 with the mounting skeleton 114 as a second surface 1124, the panel fixing part 1211 is located between the first surface 1141 and the second surface 1124, so that the fastener can pass through the mounting skeleton 114, the panel fixing part 1211 and the middle frame 112 and be fixed by the connecting piece. In this way, the middle frame 112 and the mounting skeleton 114 can clamp at least part of the front panel 121, thereby improving the connection stability of the front panel 121. In some embodiments, the fastener is a bolt, and the connecting piece is a nut, so that the mounting skeleton 114, the panel fixing part 1211 and the middle frame 112 can be fixed through the cooperation of the bolt and the nut.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, as an implementation, the mounting framework 114 is formed with a fixing portion 1142, which is detachably connected with the front frame 111. Through the above arrangement, the connection stability of the mounting framework 114 can be improved, and further the mounting stability of the instrument panel 181 can be improved. The detachable connection can facilitate the mounting and dismounting of the mounting framework 114 on the front frame 111, and further facilitate the assembly of the front panel 121 and the frame 11. In the present embodiment, the mounting framework 114 at least partially extends forward to form the fixing portion 1142, so that the mounting framework 114 can be connected with the front frame 111 located at the front of the frame 11 through the fixing portion 1142.

[0039] Specifically, the contact between the fixing portion 1142 and the front frame 111 is a surface contact, and the fixing portion 1142 and the front frame 111 are detachably connected through fasteners at the surface contact. Through the above arrangement, the surface contact can increase the connection area between the fixing portion 1142 and the front frame 111, so as to improve the connection stability between the fixing portion 1142 and the front frame 111, and further improve the connection stability between the mounting framework 114 and the frame 11.

[0040] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 7 As an implementation, the mounting framework 114 includes a cross pipe 1143 extending along the width direction of the frame 11 and an arch pipe 1144 connected with the cross pipe 1143. Specifically, the cross pipe 1143 is detachably connected with the middle frame 112. In the present embodiment, the cross pipe 1143 is detachably connected with the first front strut 1121a and the second front strut 1121b at both ends thereof along the width direction of the frame 11, and both ends of the arch pipe 1144 are fixedly connected with the cross pipe 1143. In addition, the fixing portion 1142 is arranged on the cross pipe 1143 and connected with the cross pipe 1143, so that the cross pipe 1143 can be detachably connected with the front frame 111.

[0041] In the present embodiment, the all-terrain vehicle 100 includes a control panel 122. The control panel 122 is mounted in the cockpit 20, and the instrument panel 181 is at least partially mounted on the control panel 122, so that the control panel 122 can support the instrument panel 181.

[0042] Specifically, the arch pipe 1144 and the cross pipe 1143 are both provided with a panel connecting point 1145, which is fixedly connected with the control panel 122. In this way, the control panel 122 can be connected with the mounting framework 114, so that the mounting framework 114 can support the instrument.

[0043] As an implementation, the all-terrain vehicle 100 comprises a steering system 21 for controlling the all-terrain vehicle 100 to steer. Specifically, the steering system 21 comprises a steering wheel assembly 211 for controlling the front wheels 131 to steer. The mounting frame 114 is provided with a steering wheel assembly connecting point 1146, and the steering wheel assembly 211 is fixedly connected to the steering wheel assembly connecting point 1146. In this way, the mounting frame 114 can support the steering wheel assembly 211. In the embodiment, the driver cabin 20 comprises a main driver seat and a co-driver seat, and the steering wheel assembly 211 is installed at the main driver seat.

[0044] In the embodiment, the steering system 21 further comprises a steering assist device 212, which is drivingly connected to the steering wheel assembly 211 so that the steering assist device 212 can assist the steering wheel assembly 211 to steer. The mounting frame 114 is provided with a mechanism mounting bracket 1147, and the steering assist device 212 is fixedly connected to the mechanism mounting bracket 1147. In this way, the mounting frame 114 can support the steering assist device 212.

[0045] Through the above arrangement, the mounting points of the steering assist device 212, the steering wheel assembly 211, the control panel 122, and the instrument desk 181 are integrated on the mounting frame 114, so that the steering assist device 212, the steering wheel assembly 211, the control panel 122, and the instrument desk 181 can be integrated on the mounting frame 114. At the same time, it is also beneficial to reduce the number of mounting points for supporting the steering assist device 212, the steering wheel assembly 211, the control panel 122, and the instrument desk 181, thereby facilitating the simplification of the mounting point structure of the above components, and further facilitating the improvement of the structural compactness of the above components, and improving the assembly efficiency of the all-terrain vehicle 100. Moreover, since the mounting frame 114 is a detachable part, the mounting points on the mounting frame 114 can be processed in a disassembled state, thereby facilitating the processing efficiency and processing convenience of the mounting frame 114.

[0046] It should be understood that for those skilled in the art, improvements or changes can be made according to the above description, and all such improvements and changes shall fall within the scope of the claims appended to the present application.
