With the above configuration, the storage space of the electric all-terrain vehicle can be adjusted according to needs.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle engineering technology, and in particular to an electric all-terrain vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Electric all-terrain vehicles are vehicles that can travel on any terrain. When a fault occurs in an electric all-terrain vehicle, it needs to be repaired in a timely manner, and some drivers and passengers have a need to modify electric all-terrain vehicles.

[0003] In existing electric all-terrain vehicles, the space under the seats is used to house components such as the power battery and electric drive assembly. It's evident that a center-mounted cargo box located under the seats interferes with these components, resulting in insufficient storage capacity. Especially in certain specialized driving environments where users require greater storage capacity, the interference from the power battery and electric drive assembly limits the modifiability of the center-mounted cargo box. To expand storage space, an additional cargo box needs to be attached to the rear of the vehicle, which is costly and may affect the vehicle's overall center of gravity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this application is to provide an electric all-terrain vehicle with more flexible storage methods and the ability to flexibly expand its storage space according to the usage environment.

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

[0006] This application provides an electric all-terrain vehicle, which includes a frame, body panels, a seat, and a cargo box assembly. The frame includes a main frame and a subframe disposed above the main frame. The body panels are supported by the main frame, and the seat is supported by the subframe. The cargo box assembly includes a centrally located cargo box disposed below the subframe. The body panels include side cover assemblies distributed on both sides of the main frame. The side cover assemblies cover at least a portion of the main frame in the width direction of the frame. The side cover assemblies and the seat cover at least a portion of the main frame and form storage space. The side cover assemblies have a side-mounted design along the vehicle... The width of the frame extends through the side cover openings, allowing the storage space to connect with the outside world via the side covers. The cargo box assembly includes side boxes located within the storage space. The side boxes and the central cargo box are distributed along the height of the frame, with the side boxes positioned below the central cargo box. When both the central cargo box and the side boxes are arranged in the storage space, the electric all-terrain vehicle is in its first installation state, where the side boxes can be inserted into or removed from the storage space through the side cover openings. When only the central cargo box occupies the storage space, the electric all-terrain vehicle is in its second installation state, where the central cargo box overlaps with the side cover openings.

[0007] Furthermore, the storage space includes a first storage space and a second storage space distributed vertically. The first storage space is located above the second storage space and is connected to the second storage space. When viewed from the width direction of the frame, the second storage space overlaps with the side cover through hole. The second storage space is connected to the outside through the side cover through hole, and the side box is located in the second storage space.

[0008] Furthermore, the first storage space is located between the main frame and the subframe. Viewed from the height of the frame, the first storage space overlaps with the seat. The centrally mounted cargo box has a cargo box opening facing upwards from the electric all-terrain vehicle. The seat covers the cargo box opening, and the centrally mounted cargo box is located in the first storage space.

[0009] Furthermore, the side cases have side case openings facing upwards towards the electric all-terrain vehicle, and when the side cases are within the second storage space, the side case openings are covered by the central cargo box.

[0010] Furthermore, the side box has a footrest for the driver and passengers to step on. The side box includes a first position and a second position. When the side box is in the first position, it is completely inside the second storage space. When the side box is in the second position, the footrest is outside the second storage space.

[0011] Furthermore, the foot pedal is integrally formed with the main body of the side case and covers at least part of the side case opening, with the end face of the foot pedal perpendicular to the length direction of the frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the body panel includes a support plate disposed between a pair of side cover assemblies, the support plate being positioned below the side box, and a guide rail extending along the width direction of the frame being disposed on the support plate, with at least a portion of the side box slidably connected to the guide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, viewed from the height of the vehicle frame, at least part of the second storage space is located in front of the first storage space. The electric all-terrain vehicle also includes a power battery, which is located in the second storage space and in front of the side cases.

[0014] Furthermore, the support plate is detachably mounted on the side cover assembly. The electric all-terrain vehicle has a number of power batteries distributed along the length of the frame. When the support plate is removed from the side cover assembly, some of the power batteries can replace the side boxes and the central cargo box in the first and second storage spaces.

[0015] Furthermore, the cargo box assembly includes a pair of side boxes distributed on the left and right sides, both of which are located in the second storage space and are capable of moving in opposite directions to leave the second storage space.

[0016] Through the above configuration, the vehicle has two installation states. The electric all-terrain vehicle can be configured with different types of central cargo boxes to present different installation states according to storage needs. When the electric all-terrain vehicle is in the first installation state, the central cargo box and side boxes are in the storage space, with the side boxes arranged below the central cargo box. The side boxes can be inserted into or removed from the storage space through the side cover openings. When the electric all-terrain vehicle is in the second installation state, the central cargo box occupies the storage space, and when viewed from the width direction of the frame, the central cargo box overlaps with the side cover openings. This electric all-terrain vehicle has a larger storage space and can flexibly adjust the vehicle's storage method according to changes in the driving environment. Attached Figure Description

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an electric all-terrain vehicle 100, which includes a frame 11, a body panel 12, a suspension system 13, a running system, a seat 14, a cargo box assembly 15, and a steering system 16. The frame 11 forms the basic framework of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100. The body panel 12 is at least partially mounted on the frame 11. The running system is at least partially located below the frame 11. The suspension system 13 connects the frame 11 and the running system, and is used to transmit forces and torques between the running system and the frame 11. At least a portion of the seat 14 is supported by the frame 11, and the seat 14 is available for a driver or passenger. At least a portion of the cargo box assembly 15 is located below the seat 14. The steering system 16 is fixed to the frame and is connected to the running system to control the direction of travel of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100. To clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is shown in the front, rear, left, right, up, and down directions.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, the frame 11 includes a main frame 111, a subframe 112 (front cargo box support, not shown), and a rear cargo box support 113. The subframe 112 is located above the main frame 111 and is detachably connected to the main frame 111. The main frame 111 includes a front frame 1111, a middle frame 1112, and a rear frame 1113, which are arranged sequentially from front to rear. The front frame 1111, the middle frame 1112, and the rear frame 1113 are integrally formed.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the following description of the technical solution of this application, the length direction of the frame 11 is parallel to the front-rear direction of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, the width direction of the frame 11 is parallel to the left-right direction of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, and the height direction of the frame 11 is parallel to the up-down direction of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0034] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one implementation, a first storage space 1012 is formed between the main frame 111 and the subframe 112. Viewed from the height direction, the first storage space 1012 overlaps with the seat 14. The main frame 111 surrounds and forms an accommodating space 101, which includes a second storage space 1013 located below the first storage space 1012. Viewed from the height direction, the second storage space 1013 overlaps with at least a portion of the first storage space 1012, and the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013 are connected. The cargo box assembly 15 includes a central cargo box 151, which is mounted on the subframe 112 and positioned below the seat 14. Both the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013 can be used to accommodate the central cargo box 151, and the opening of the central cargo box 151 faces the seat 14.

[0035] Furthermore, the body panel 12 includes a center panel 122 that covers at least a portion of the center frame 1112. The center panel 122 includes a pair of side cover assemblies 1222 distributed on the left and right sides. The side cover assemblies 1222 cover a first storage space 1012 and at least a portion of a second storage space 1013 in the width direction. The side cover assemblies 1222 have a side cover through hole 1222a that extends in the width direction. The second storage space 1013 can communicate with the outside through the side cover through hole 1222a.

[0036] In this embodiment, the area between the main frame 111 and the subframe 112 is defined as the first storage space 1012, and the area between the side cover assemblies 1222 on both sides is defined as the second storage space 1013. The first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013 are connected, so that both the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013 can be used to arrange the central cargo box 151, and can also be used to arrange central cargo boxes 151 of different sizes. In addition, since the side cover through hole 1222a is connected to the second storage space 1013, even when the central cargo box 151 only occupies the first storage space 1012, items can still be placed in the second storage space 1013 through the side cover through hole 1222a, thereby improving the storage capacity of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0037] The electric all-terrain vehicle 100 can be configured with different configurations of the center-mounted cargo box 151 according to storage and range requirements. When the center-mounted cargo box 151 is only located in the first storage space 1012, the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in its first installation state. When the center-mounted cargo box 151 occupies both the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013, the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in its second installation state. When the center-mounted cargo box 151 is removed from the subframe 112, the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in its third installation state, with multiple power batteries 18 (see...). Figure 2 It can be arranged in the second storage space 1013 along the length of the frame 11.

[0038] It should be noted that, Figure 2 The diagram only shows the arrangement and quantity of the power batteries 18 in the first and second installation states of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100. When the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in the third installation state, the quantity of power batteries 18 can be increased, and the newly added power batteries 18 can be placed in the second storage space 1013. Even with the newly added power batteries 18 arranged in the second storage space 1013, a centrally located cargo box 151 of appropriate size can still be configured in the first storage space 1012. Optionally, to further increase the range of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, the newly added power batteries 18 can completely replace the centrally located cargo box 151, simultaneously occupying both the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013.

[0039] Specifically, the centrally located cargo box 151 includes a first cargo box 1512 and a second cargo box 1513, which are interchangeably mounted on the subframe 112. The height of the first cargo box 1512 is less than the height of the second cargo box 1513. Figure 5 As shown, when the first cargo box 1512 is installed on the subframe 112, the first cargo box 1512 is arranged in the first storage space 1012. Figure 4As shown, when the second cargo box 1513 is installed on the subframe 112, the second cargo box 1513 is arranged in the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013.

[0040] For example, if it is necessary to store large items in the central cargo box 151, the second cargo box 1513 is installed on the subframe 112 to give the central cargo box 151 a larger volume to accommodate the large items. If it is necessary to store small items in the central cargo box 151, since the height of the second cargo box 1513 is greater than the height of the first cargo box 1512, and the interior of the second cargo box 1513 is deeper, the stored items will be located at the bottom of the interior space of the second cargo box 1513, making it difficult for drivers and passengers to retrieve the items. In this case, the shallower first cargo box 1512 can be replaced and installed on the subframe 112 to facilitate the storage and retrieval of items.

[0041] With the above configuration, the central cargo box 151 can use a first cargo box 1512 or a second cargo box 1513 with different heights. For different storage needs, the driver and passengers can change the central cargo box 151 as needed, optimize the storage function of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, and meet the storage needs of the driver and passengers.

[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in one implementation, the side cover assembly 1222 includes an upper side cover 1222b and a lower side cover 1222c. The upper side cover 1222b covers the first storage space 1012 in the width direction, and the lower side cover 1222c covers at least part of the second storage space 1013 in the width direction. The side cover through hole 1222a is provided on the lower side cover 1222c.

[0043] Furthermore, the central cover 122 also includes a front cover 1222d, at least a portion of which is disposed between the main frame 111 and the subframe 112, and is located in front of the upper cover 1222b. The space between the front covers 1222d disposed on the left and right sides of the main frame 111 is defined as the cargo box front space 1511 (see [reference]). Figure 3 Viewed from above, the front cargo space 1511 overlaps with the second storage space 1013. The electric all-terrain vehicle 100 also includes a power battery 18, at least a portion of which extends into the front cargo space 1511.

[0044] As one implementation, the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 also includes a drive assembly 17 (see...) Figure 2 The main frame 111 includes a rear frame 1113 arranged behind the subframe 112, and the drive assembly 17 is mounted on the rear frame 1113 and located behind the second storage space 1013.

[0045] Furthermore, viewed from the height of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, at least a portion of the second storage space 1013 is located in front of the first storage space 1012. When the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in the first installation state or the second installation state, at least a portion of the power battery 18 is disposed in the second storage space 1013 and located in front of the central cargo box 151.

[0046] In the above configuration, the power battery 18, the central cargo box 151 and the drive assembly 17 are arranged sequentially along the length direction. When viewed from the width direction of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, the second storage space 1013 and the first storage space 1012 are staggered to a certain extent. Under the premise of ensuring that the above three are arranged relatively compactly, the storage space of the whole vehicle is greatly improved.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, in one implementation, the length of the first storage space 1012 extending along the height direction is defined as the length D11 of the first storage space 1012, and the length of the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013 extending along the height direction is defined as the length D12 of the second storage space 1013. The ratio between the length D11 of the first storage space 1012 and the length D12 of the second storage space 1013 ranges from 2 to 3. Further, the ratio between the length of the first storage space 1012 and the length of the second storage space 1013 ranges from 2.2 to 2.7. More preferably, the ratio between the length of the first storage space 1012 and the length of the second storage space 1013 is 2.5.

[0048] It should be noted that if the ratio is too small, the length of the first storage space 1012 extending along the height direction will be short, resulting in insufficient storage capacity of the first storage space 1012. If the ratio is too large, the bottom of the first storage space 1012 will be too low along the height direction, resulting in reduced external space below the first storage space 1012, which will affect the arrangement of the drive shaft of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, as one implementation, the middle cover 122 also includes a cargo box side cover 1223, which is detachably disposed on the lower side cover 1222c. When the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in the first installation state or the second installation state, the cargo box side cover 1223 covers the side cover through hole 1222a in the width direction to close the second storage space 1013 in the width direction.

[0050] With the above configuration, the second storage space 1013 can communicate with the external space through the side cover through-hole 1222a opened in the lower side cover 1222c, and the communication or closure between the second storage space 1013 and the external space can be changed by removing or installing the cargo box side cover 1223. This allows items to be stored in or retrieved from the second storage space 1013 without opening the seat 14, improving the convenience of interaction between the driver / passenger and the second storage space 1013.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in one implementation, the subframe 112 is provided with several cargo box fixing structures 1125. Each cargo box fixing structure 1125 has a through hole extending along the height direction. The centrally located cargo box 151 has a mating part that can pass through the through hole. The mating part and the through hole are fitted with a clearance to limit the centrally located cargo box 151 in the horizontal direction. The seat 14 covers the centrally located cargo box 151 to limit its height. Through the above arrangement, the mating part and the through hole are fitted with a clearance, and the seat 14 covers the centrally located cargo box 151, thus fixing the centrally located cargo box 151 to the subframe 112. The subframe 112 is also connected to the front cargo box support and the rear cargo box support 113 to make the structure of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 more compact. Simultaneously, the seat 14 is mounted on the subframe 112 for easy removal.

[0052] As an optional implementation, the central cover 122 includes side cover assemblies 1222 distributed on the left and right sides of the seat 14, with the side cover assemblies 1222 positioned directly below the seat 14. The space formed by the side cover assemblies 1222 and the seat 14 around the vehicle frame is defined as the storage space 1014. Each side cover assembly 1222 has a side cover through-hole 1222a extending through its two opposite end faces in the width direction, and the storage space 1014 communicates with the outside through the side cover through-hole 1222a. The central cargo box 151 is configured as either a first cargo box 1512 or a second cargo box 1513, with the height of the first cargo box 1512 being less than that of the second cargo box 1513. Viewed in the width direction, when the first cargo box 1512 is positioned in the storage space 1014, the first cargo box 1512 is located above the side cover through-hole 1222a and is covered by the side cover assembly 1222. When the second cargo box 1513 is placed in the storage space 1014, the second cargo box 1513 overlaps with the side cover through hole 1222a.

[0053] The above configuration allows for the replacement of the central cargo box 151 in the storage space 1014, that is, it can be replaced with a first cargo box 1512 or a second cargo box 1513 with different heights, thereby improving the storage capacity of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0054] like Figure 6As shown, in one implementation, the central cover 122 includes side cover assemblies 1222 distributed on the left and right sides of the main frame 111. The side cover assemblies 1222 are disposed under the seat 14. The side cover assemblies 1222 and the seat 14 cover at least part of the main frame 111 and form a storage space 1014. The side cover assembly 1222 on either the left or right side has a side cover through hole 1222a that extends through itself in the width direction. The storage space 1014 communicates with the outside through the side cover through hole 1222a.

[0055] Specifically, the side cover assembly 1222 includes an upper side cover 1222b and a lower side cover 1222c. The upper side cover 1222b and the lower side cover 1222c are both distributed on the left and right sides of the seat 14, and the lower side cover 1222c is located below the upper side cover 1222b. A side cover through hole 1222a is provided on either side of the lower side cover 1222c.

[0056] Furthermore, the cargo box assembly 15 includes a side box 154 disposed in the storage space 1014. The side box 154 and the central cargo box 151 are distributed along the height direction of the frame 11, and the side box 154 is located below the central cargo box 151. Viewed in the width direction, the side box 154 overlaps with the side cover through-hole 1222a. The side box 154 can move relative to the frame 11 in the width direction, so that the side box 154 can be loaded into or unloaded from the storage space 1014 through the side cover through-hole 1222a.

[0057] When the central cargo box 151 and the side boxes 154 are both arranged in the storage space 1014, the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in the first installation state. The side boxes 151 can be loaded into or unloaded from the storage space 1014 through the side cover through hole 1222a. When only the central cargo box 151 occupies the storage space 1014, the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 is in the second installation state, and the central cargo box 151 overlaps with the side cover through hole 1222a.

[0058] For example, the side box 154 includes a side box handle 1541. When the side box handle 1541 is pulled in a direction away from the frame in the width direction, the side box 154 moves in the width direction away from the frame and is pulled out of the storage space 1014. If the side box 154 has an upward opening, items can be accessed through the opening of the side box 154.

[0059] With the above configuration, a storage space 1014 is formed under the seat 14 by the side cover assembly 1222 and the seat 14 surrounding at least part of the vehicle frame. The side cover assembly 1222 has a side cover through hole 1222a that runs through its two opposite end faces in the width direction, which facilitates internal maintenance of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 and allows for modification and functional expansion, thus enhancing its modifiability.

[0060] Optionally, the side box 154 includes a side box cover and a side box body. The side box cover is connected to the lower side cover 1222c by a snap fastener, and the side box cover is also connected to the side box body by a snap fastener. The side box body has an opening on the side facing the side box cover. When the side box cover and the side box body are connected by snap fasteners, they can cover the opening of the side box 154, and the side box body can be completely pulled out of the storage space 1014. When the side box body is installed in the storage space 1014 through the side cover through hole 1222a, at least part of the side box cover can cover the side cover through hole 1222a in the width direction, so that when viewed in the width direction, the side box 154 overlaps with the side cover through hole 1222a, thereby closing the storage space 1014 in the width direction. If the driver or passenger needs to use the side box 154, they can open the latches between the side box cover and the lower side cover 1222c to pull out the side box body, and then open the latches between the side box cover and the side box body to store and retrieve items.

[0061] As one implementation, the storage space 1014 includes a first storage space 1012 and a second storage space 1013 distributed vertically. The first storage space 1012 is located above the second storage space 1013 and communicates with the second storage space 1013. When viewed from the width direction, the second storage space 1013 overlaps with the side cover through hole 1222a. The second storage space 1013 communicates with the outside through the side cover through hole 1222a. The side box 154 is located in the second storage space 1013.

[0062] Specifically, the first storage space 1012 is located between the main frame 111 and the subframe 112. Viewed from the height of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, the first storage space 1012 overlaps with the seat 14. The cargo box assembly 15 also includes a central cargo box 151. The central cargo box 151 has an opening facing the top of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100. The seat 14 covers the opening of the central cargo box 151, thus sealing the interior space of the central cargo box 151. The central cargo box 151 is located in the first storage space 1012.

[0063] Furthermore, the side box 154 has an opening facing upwards towards the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, through which the driver and passengers can access items within the interior space of the side box 154. When the side box 154 is within the second storage space 1013, the opening of the side box 154 is covered by the central cargo box 151 above the side box 154, thus sealing off the interior space of the side box 154.

[0064] For example, when the driver or passenger needs to access items, the side box 154 is pulled out of the second storage space 1013 through the side cover through hole 1222a. At this time, at least part of the opening of the side box 154 is not covered by the central cargo box 151, so that the internal space of the side box 154 is exposed, and the driver or passenger can access the items in the side box 154.

[0065] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, as an optional implementation, the side box 154 includes a first position 1542 and a second position 1543. The first position 1542 is located at one end of the side box 154 away from the second storage space 1013, and the second position 1543 is located at the first position 1542 extending into the second storage space 1013 along the width direction and close to the first position 1542.

[0066] Furthermore, the side box 154 has a footrest 1544 for the driver or passenger to step on. The footrest 1544 is integrally formed with the main body of the side box 154. In the width direction, the footrest 1544 extends from a first position 1542 to a second position 1543. In the height direction, the footrest 1544 covers at least a portion of the opening of the side box 154, and the end face of the foot pedal 1221 is perpendicular to the length direction of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100. When the side box 154 is in the first position 1542, the side box 154 is completely within the second storage space 1013. When the side box 154 is in the second position 1543, the footrest 1544 is outside the second storage space 1013, so that the side box 154 can provide a footrest for the driver or passenger while simultaneously providing enclosed storage for the items inside the side box 154.

[0067] like Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in one implementation, the central cover 122 includes a support plate 1224 disposed between a pair of side cover assemblies 1222. The support plate 1224 is positioned below the side box 154, and a guide rail 1224a extending in the width direction is provided on the support plate 1224. At least a portion of the side box 154 is slidably connected to the guide rail 1224a, allowing the side box 154 to slide along the width direction on the guide rail 1224a on the support plate 1224. The support plate 1224 provides support from below the side box 154, and the guide rail 1224a restricts the back-and-forth swaying of the side box 154 in the second storage space 1013, enabling the side box 154 to remain stable during travel. The guide rail 1224a also restricts the movement trajectory of the side box 154 in the width direction.

[0068] Specifically, viewed from the height of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, at least a portion of the second storage space 1013 is located in front of the first storage space 1012. The electric all-terrain vehicle 100 also includes a power battery 18 (see [link]). Figure 2 The power battery 18 is located in the second storage space 1013 and in front of the side box 154.

[0069] Furthermore, the support plate 1224 is detachably disposed on the side cover assembly 1222. The electric all-terrain vehicle 100 has a number of power batteries 18, which are distributed along the length of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100. When the support plate 1224 is removed from the side cover assembly 1222, some of the power batteries 18 can replace the side boxes 154 and the central cargo box 151 in the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013.

[0070] The above configuration allows the power battery 18 to be interchangeably installed in the first storage space 1012 and the second storage space 1013 along with the side boxes 154 and the central cargo box 151, thus improving its modifiability.

[0071] In one implementation, the cargo box assembly 15 includes a pair of side boxes 154 distributed on the left and right sides. Both side boxes 154 are located in the second storage space 1013 and can move in opposite directions to leave the second storage space 1013. The side boxes 154 are arranged on the left and right sides so that footrests 1544 can be provided on both sides, improving the driving experience for the driver and passengers.

[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, the subframe 112 has a pair of subframe tubes 1123 extending along the length of the frame 11, and the two are distributed along the width of the frame 11. The subframe 112 includes two seat fasteners 1123 extending along the width direction, and the seat fasteners 1123 are configured as sheet metal members spanning between the two subframe tubes 1123. The two seat fasteners 1123 are defined as a first seat fastener 1123a and a second seat fastener 1123b, respectively, wherein the first seat fastener 1123a is located in front of the second seat fastener 1123b.

[0073] Seat 14 includes a seat cushion 143 and a locking mechanism 144. The rear of the seat cushion 143 is provided with a connector 1431. The second seat fixing member 1123b has a seat limiting hole 1126 for the connector 1431 to be inserted. When the connector 1431 is inserted into the seat limiting hole 1126, the seat cushion 143 can rotate relative to the subframe 112 with the seat limiting hole 1126 as its rotation center. The locking mechanism 144 is at least partially disposed on the first seat fixing member 1123a. The head of the seat cushion 143 has a fixing pin 1432 extending toward the locking mechanism 144 (see [link]). Figure 9 The fixed pin 1432 is used to engage the locking mechanism 144. The locking mechanism 144 includes a control unit 1441 that can be triggered by the user. The control unit 1441 is arranged in front of the seat cushion 143 and above the upper surface of the seat cushion 143. When the control unit 1441 is triggered, the fixed pin 1432 is separated from the locking mechanism 144, and the seat cushion 143 can rotate relative to the subframe 112 with the seat limiting hole 1126 as the rotation center.

[0074] During the installation of the seat cushion 143, the connector 1431 at the rear of the seat cushion 143 is first inserted into the seat limiting hole 1126 of the second seat fixing member 1123b, connecting the seat cushion 143 to the second seat fixing member 1123b and restricting the position of the rear of the seat cushion 143 in the length and width directions. Then, the position of the seat cushion 143 is adjusted so that the fixing pin 1432 at the head of the seat cushion 143 is aligned with the locking mechanism 144 of the first seat fixing member 1123a, which is at least partially located therein. Finally, the fixing pin 1432 is inserted into the locking mechanism 144. By fixing the rear and head of the seat cushion 143 to the second seat fixing member 1123b and the first seat fixing member 1123a respectively, the entire seat cushion 143 is accurately fixed to the subframe 112.

[0075] Specifically, since a central cargo box 151 is located under the seat 14, and the central cargo box 151 is covered by a seat cushion 143, when the driver or passenger uses the central cargo box 151, the seat cushion 143 covering the central cargo box 151 needs to be opened. Therefore, the seat cushion 143 needs to be opened or closed frequently, and opening the seat cushion 143 requires unlocking the locking mechanism 144.

[0076] In this embodiment, the connector 1431 for fixing and limiting the seat cushion 143 is arranged behind the seat cushion 143, and the fixing pin 1432 for locking the seat cushion 143 is arranged in front of the seat cushion 143. When the driver or passenger unlocks the seat cushion 143, they only need to operate in front of the seat cushion 143, avoiding the impact of the rear mudguard 1231, rear rack cover 1232 and other components behind the seat cushion 143 on unlocking the seat cushion 143, reducing the difficulty of unlocking the seat cushion 143 and improving the human-computer interaction of unlocking the seat cushion 143.

[0077] Optionally, the rear of the seat cushion 143 is provided with at least two plugs 1431 distributed along the width direction, and the second seat fixing member 1123b has a number of seat limiting holes 1126 that are the same as the number of plugs 1431, and the plugs 1431 are clearance-fitted with the seat limiting holes 1126.

[0078] Understandably, if the number of connectors 1431 is less than two, when connectors 1431 are clearance-fitted with seat limiting holes 1126, only connectors 1431 are limited in both length and width directions. When the seat cushion 143 rotates relative to the subframe 112 with the seat limiting hole 1126 as its rotation center, the limiting effect on the seat cushion 143 located away from connectors 1431 is poor, and the shear force on connectors 1431 increases when opening and closing the seat cushion 143, reducing the durability of the seat cushion 143. When the number of connectors 1431 is set to at least two, and each connector 1431 is clearance-fitted with its corresponding seat limiting hole 1126, each connector 1431 is limited in both length and width directions, improving the limiting effect on the seat cushion 143 and the durability of the seat cushion 143.

[0079] like Figure 9 As shown, in one implementation, the body panel 12 includes a rear panel 123, which includes a rear fender 1231. The rear fender 1231 is disposed behind the seat cushion 143. Viewed from the height direction, the distance D13 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat cushion 143 along the length direction is 35mm to 45mm. Further, the distance D13 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat cushion 143 along the length direction is 36mm to 44mm. More preferably, the distance D13 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat cushion 143 along the length direction is 38mm to 42mm.

[0080] It should be noted that if the distance D13 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat cushion 143 along the length direction is too large, the structural compactness of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 will be reduced, wasting space in the length direction. If the distance D13 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat cushion 143 along the length direction is too small, the installation difficulty of the seat cushion 143 will increase, and the driver and passengers will scrape against the rear fender 1231 during driving, reducing the comfort of the driver and passengers. In the embodiment of this application, the distance range between the rear fender 1231 and the seat cushion 143 along the length direction can make the whole vehicle more compact and improve the comfort of the driver and passengers.

[0081] like Figure 9 As shown, a rear fender 1231 is arranged behind the seat cushion 143. In one implementation, a reference plane 104 perpendicular to the height direction is defined, and the rear fender 1231 includes a surrounding portion 1231c distributed around the rear of the seat cushion 143, the end face of the surrounding portion 1231c facing the seat cushion 143 being substantially perpendicular to the reference plane 104.

[0082] In this embodiment, the locking structure 144 is arranged at the head of the seat cushion 143, and the surrounding portion 1231c is provided, thereby reducing the gap between the seat cushion 143 and the surrounding portion 1231c and improving the compactness of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 structure.

[0083] like Figure 8 As shown, in one implementation, the locking structure 144 has a control unit 1441 for the driver or passenger to trigger. As described above, the front cover 121 includes a battery cover 1211, which is located in front of the seat cushion 143. The battery cover 1211 has seat unlocking holes (not shown) extending through its two opposite end faces. At least a portion of the control unit 1441 passes through the seat unlocking holes.

[0084] Specifically, the battery cover 1211 covers at least a portion of the subframe 112, and the control unit 1441 is fixed to the side end face of the battery cover 1211 facing the subframe 112.

[0085] Furthermore, the locking mechanism 144 also includes a connecting unit 1442 and a locking unit 1443. The locking unit 1443 is connected to the control unit 1441 through the connecting unit 1442. The locking unit 1443 is fixed to the first seat fixing member 1123a and is used to engage and fix the pin 1432.

[0086] With the above configuration, when the driver or passenger needs to open the seat cushion 143, they only need to operate the control unit 1441 located in front of the seat cushion 143 to separate the locking unit 1443, which is connected to the control unit 1441 via the connecting unit 1442, from the fixing pin 1432, thereby causing the seat cushion 143 to pop up. The user does not need to directly operate the locking unit 1443 and the fixing pin 1432, reducing the difficulty of disassembling and assembling the seat cushion 143 and facilitating quick removal and removal of the seat cushion 143.

[0087] like Figure 8 As shown, in one implementation, the subframe 112 has a pair of subframe tubes 1124 that extend substantially along the length direction. Several seat support members 1124a are provided on the subframe tubes 1124. Several seat cushion abutment portions 1433 are provided on the side of the seat cushion 143 facing the subframe 112. When the fixing pin 1432 is inserted into the locking mechanism 144, the seat cushion abutment portions 1433 abut against the seat support members 1124a.

[0088] The seat cushion contact part 1433 is made of rubber material. The rubber material is elastic and can prevent damage to the seat 14 due to bumps during the operation of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, thereby improving the durability of the seat 14.

[0089] like Figure 10As shown, this application embodiment also provides another structure for fixing the seat cushion 143. In one implementation, the seat 14 includes a seat cushion 143. A connector 1431 and a seat pin 1434 are provided on the side of the seat cushion 143 facing the subframe 112. The seat cushion 143 is embedded into the subframe 112 via the connector 1431 and can rotate relative to the subframe 112 with the connector 1431 as the rotation center. A seat fixing hole 1127 is provided on the subframe 112. The seat pin 1434 has an umbrella-shaped insertion portion 1434a. The insertion portion 1434a can pass through the seat fixing hole 1127. The radial length of the tail end of the insertion portion 1434a is greater than the diameter of the seat fixing hole 1127. When the insertion portion 1434a passes through the seat fixing hole 1127, the tail end of the insertion portion 1434a abuts against a component in the subframe 112 surrounding the outer edge of the seat fixing hole 1127.

[0090] Specifically, the subframe 112 includes a first seat fastener 1123a and a second seat fastener 1123b distributed along the length of the frame 11. The first seat fastener 1123a has a seat limiting hole 1126, and the connector 1431 can be inserted into the seat limiting hole 1126. The second seat fastener 1123b has a seat fixing hole 1127.

[0091] During the installation of the seat cushion 143, the connector 1431 is first inserted into the seat limiting hole 1126 to limit the seat cushion 143 at the location of the connector 1431 in the length and width directions. Then, the position of the seat cushion 143 is adjusted, and the seat pin 1434 is pressed into the seat fixing hole 1127 to fix the entire seat cushion 143 onto the subframe 112. To unlock the seat cushion 143, simply separate the seat pin 1434 from the seat fixing hole 1127.

[0092] As one implementation, a rubber limiting member 1128 is provided in the seat fixing hole 1127, and the rubber limiting member 1128 has a limiting channel 1128a through which the seat pin 1434 can pass.

[0093] Specifically, the seat pin 1434 extends from the bottom of the seat cushion 143 towards the subframe 112. An insertion portion 1434a is provided at one end of the seat pin 1434 near the subframe 112. The insertion portion 1434a can pass through the limiting channel 1128a and, after passing through the limiting channel 1128a, abuts against the rubber limiting member 1128 in the height direction. After the rubber limiting member 1128 abuts against the insertion portion 1434a, the seat pin 1434 cannot move axially along the limiting channel 1128a, so that the seat pin 1434 will not separate from the rubber limiting member 1128 during vehicle operation.

[0094] The insertion part 1434a is basically umbrella-shaped, so that it is wrapped by the rubber limiting member 1128 after it comes into contact with the rubber limiting member 1128, thereby making it difficult for the insertion part 1434a to separate from the rubber limiting member 1128 during driving.

[0095] Furthermore, the subframe 112 is provided with two seat fasteners 1123, both extending along the width direction and distributed along the length direction. The two seat fasteners 1123 are defined as a first seat fastener 1123a and a second seat fastener 1123b, with the first seat fastener 1123a located in front of the second seat fastener 1123b. A seat limiting hole 1126 is provided in the first seat fastener 1123a, and a seat fixing hole 1127 is provided in the second seat fastener 1123b.

[0096] Optionally, the seat limiting hole 1126 is provided on the second seat fixing member 1123b, and the seat fixing hole 1127 is provided on the first seat fixing member 1123a.

[0097] like Figure 11 As shown, in one implementation, the rubber limiting member 1128 has a first limiting portion 1128b and a second limiting portion 1128c. With the seat limiting hole 1126 located on the first seat fixing member 1123a and the seat fixing hole 1127 located on the second seat fixing member 1123b, the first limiting portion 1128b and the second limiting portion 1128c are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the second seat fixing member 1123b. When the seat pin 1434 passes through the limiting channel 1128a, the insertion portion 1434a passes through the limiting channel 1128a and abuts against the second limiting portion 1128c in the height direction. Through the upper and lower arranged first limiting portion 1128b and second limiting portion 1128c, the seat pin 1434, after passing through the first limiting portion 1128b and the second limiting portion 1128c, cannot move axially along the limiting channel 1128a, thus enhancing the limiting effect on the seat pin 1434.

[0098] As one implementation, the seat cushion 143 is provided with a grip groove 1435 on the side facing the subframe 112. The opening of the grip groove 1435 is perpendicular to the height direction, and the grip groove 1435 is connected to the outside through the opening.

[0099] Specifically, the opening of the grip groove 1435 faces the rear of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100, and the rear fender 1231 is located behind the seat 143. Viewed from the height direction, the distance D14 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat 143 along the length of the frame ranges from 35mm to 45mm. Further, the distance D14 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat 143 along the length of the frame ranges from 28mm to 36mm. More preferably, the distance D14 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat 143 along the length of the frame ranges from 31mm to 40mm.

[0100] It should be noted that if the distance D14 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat 143 along the length direction is too large, the structural compactness of the electric all-terrain vehicle 100 will be reduced, wasting space in the length direction. If the distance D14 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat 143 along the length direction is too small, it will increase the difficulty of removing and installing the seat 143. In the embodiment of this application, the range of the distance D14 between the rear fender 1231 and the seat 143 along the length direction can make the whole vehicle more compact and reduce the difficulty of removing and installing the seat 143.

[0101] like Figure 10 As shown, in one implementation, the subframe 112 has a pair of subframe tubes 1124 extending substantially along the length of the frame. Several seat support members 1124a are provided on the subframe tubes 1124. Several seat cushion abutment portions 1433 are provided on the side of the seat cushion 143 facing the subframe 112. When the seat pin 1434 is inserted into the seat fixing hole 1127, the seat cushion abutment portions 1433 abut against the seat support members 1124a. Through this arrangement, the seat support members 1124a cooperate with the seat cushion abutment portions 1433, improving the stability of the structure between the seat cushion 143 and the subframe 112.

[0102] The number of seat pins 1434 is set to at least two, and the number of seat fixing holes 1127 is not less than the number of seat pins 1434. It is understood that if the number of seat pins 1434 is less than two, the shear force on the seat pins 1434 will increase when opening and closing the seat cushion 143, reducing the durability of the seat cushion 143. Setting the number of connectors 1431 to at least two improves the limiting effect on the seat cushion 143 and enhances its durability.

[0103] 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.
