[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] First, the heat shield is positioned between the outer shell 6 and the exhaust pipe 3, creating an effective thermal barrier. The streamlined design of the outer shell 6 is not only aesthetically pleasing but also helps reduce air resistance, improving vehicle efficiency. The heat shield's close proximity to the outer shell 6 maximizes insulation while minimizing heat transfer.

[0024] The thermal insulation panel consists of two parts: an insulation module 1 and a heat conduction module, with an appropriate gap between them. This design helps optimize thermal management, ensuring that heat is effectively dispersed and conducted rather than accumulated in one place. The insulation module 1 adopts a zigzag design, with one end being a trapezoid with rounded corners and the other end resembling a rounded bird's beak. This unique shape not only increases the contact area with the outer shell plastic 6, improving the thermal insulation effect, but also enhances the overall structural stability.

[0025] The thermal module consists of two sections, one L-shaped and the other knife-shaped, bolted together. This design not only facilitates installation and maintenance but also provides additional support, ensuring the stability of the exhaust pipe 3 under all driving conditions. The thermal module frames and secures the exhaust pipe 3, further improving the stability and safety of the exhaust system.

[0026] The insulation module 1 is connected to the outer plastic component 6 using plastic rivet welding technology. This connection is not only strong and reliable, but also aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the vehicle's overall appearance. A square groove is provided at the bottom of the seat frame in the center of the outer plastic component 6, and the insulation panels are installed at both ends of the seat frame. This design not only improves riding comfort but also facilitates stable installation of the insulation panels.

[0027] A tire fender 7 is specially designed on the rear side of the outer shell plastic part 6. This detailed design effectively reduces mud and water splash, keeping the vehicle clean and protecting passengers from mud and water intrusion. The outer shell plastic parts 6 are connected using hot plate welding technology. This connection method not only provides high strength but also makes the weld smooth, further improving the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0028] A side heat shield for an all-terrain vehicle is placed between the outer shell plastic part 6 and the exhaust pipe 3. The outer shell plastic part 6 is generally streamlined, and the heat shield is installed closely against the outer shell plastic part 6. The heat shield is divided into a heat insulation module 1 and a heat conduction module, separated by a certain gap. The design of this side heat shield for an all-terrain vehicle, through its ingenious thermal insulation effect, not only forms an effective thermal barrier between the outer shell plastic part 6 and the exhaust pipe 3, protecting passengers from high temperatures, but also ensures comfort and safety inside the vehicle.

[0029] The streamlined design of the outer shell reduces air resistance, improving fuel efficiency and vehicle stability and maneuverability on all terrains. The heat shield's tight fit within the outer shell maximizes insulation and minimizes heat transfer. The modular design makes the heat shield easy to install and replace, enhancing maintenance convenience.

[0030] The zigzag-shaped heat shield increases contact area with the outer plastic 6, enhancing thermal insulation and structural stability. The use of a spliced heat-conducting module and plastic rivet welding simplifies maintenance, reducing time and costs. The heat-conducting module cleverly secures the exhaust pipe 3, preventing vibration and displacement during driving and improving vehicle stability.

[0031] The grooved design of the seat frame and the installation of heat shields enhance ride comfort and ensure a pleasant passenger experience during long journeys. The tire fenders (7) reduce mud and water splash, keeping the vehicle clean and reducing maintenance work. The application of hot plate welding technology creates a smooth joint between the outer shell plastic parts (6), enhancing the overall aesthetics and durability of the vehicle.

[0032] The insulation module 1 of the insulation board is in close contact with the outer shell plastic part 6, forming a zigzag shape as a whole. One end of the zigzag is a trapezoid with rounded corners, and the other end is similar to a rounded bird's beak. The zigzag design of the side insulation board of the all-terrain vehicle not only provides an aesthetically pleasing appearance through its trapezoidal shape with rounded corners and rounded bird's beak shape, but also enhances the stability and durability of the structure. This design cleverly increases the contact area between the insulation module 1 and the outer shell plastic part 6, thereby improving the insulation effect, while optimizing heat distribution and reducing the risk of local overheating. The modular design makes the insulation board easy to install and maintain, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the overall effectiveness of the insulation board and reduces the thermal bridge effect. In addition, the insulation board is arranged at both ends of the seat frame, which helps to improve ride comfort, especially during long driving. The streamlined design of the outer shell plastic part 6 also helps to reduce air resistance and improve the driving efficiency and stability of the vehicle.

[0033] The heat shield utilizes a two-section, spliced heat-conducting module design, one L-shaped and the other knife-shaped, connected by bolts. This structural design takes into account the heat dissipation requirements of ATVs under extreme conditions. The L-shaped and knife-shaped modules provide additional support and strength, enhancing the stability of the heat shield. This spliced design allows the heat shield to adapt to different exhaust pipe sizes and shapes, increasing its adaptability and flexibility. Furthermore, the heat-conducting module design helps to more effectively remove heat from the exhaust pipe, improving thermal efficiency. The spliced design also provides increased durability due to its distributed stress points.

[0034] The modular design also reduces production costs, as the same modules can be reused in different vehicles or configurations, which not only reduces material waste but also improves production efficiency. Finally, this design also takes aesthetics into consideration, providing a neat and attractive appearance, improving the overall visual effect of the all-terrain vehicle. The use of rivet connections not only provides a secure connection, but also allows for quick removal and replacement of heat shields, facilitating maintenance and repair. The aesthetics and durability of the rivet connections enhance the overall appearance of the vehicle and reduce the need for subsequent maintenance. This design approach takes into account thermal insulation, comfort, ease of maintenance, aesthetics, durability, and space utilization, making it a very practical solution in all-terrain vehicle design.

[0035] The thermal module, which frames and secures the exhaust pipe 3, offers multiple benefits for all-terrain vehicles. First, it significantly enhances vehicle stability, especially when driving on uneven surfaces. Securely securing the exhaust pipe 3 reduces the risks of vibration and displacement, ensuring vehicle safety. Second, by effectively managing the heat generated by the exhaust pipe 3, this design optimizes the vehicle's thermal efficiency, reduces energy loss, and enhances performance.

[0036] Furthermore, the design of the heat transfer module simplifies exhaust pipe 3 maintenance, making cleaning and maintenance more convenient and reducing maintenance costs. Fixed exhaust pipe 3 also helps reduce vehicle noise during driving, providing a more comfortable driving experience for the driver and passengers. Furthermore, reduced vibration and displacement help extend the service life of exhaust pipe 3, reducing replacement frequency and associated costs.

[0037] In terms of aesthetics, the thermal module's design often harmonizes with the vehicle's overall styling and style, enhancing both the vehicle's appearance and overall appeal. Furthermore, the module's flexible design allows it to adapt to exhaust pipes of varying sizes and shapes, increasing its versatility across different vehicle models and reducing the need for specialized components.

[0038] Finally, the thermal conductivity module reduces the thermal impact on other parts of the vehicle by directing heat to specific areas, protecting key components of the vehicle from damage due to high temperatures, thereby improving the overall durability and reliability of the vehicle.

[0039] The insulation module 1 and the outer shell plastic part 6 are connected by rivet welding, providing an efficient, stable and aesthetically pleasing connection solution in the design of the side insulation board of an all-terrain vehicle. The firmness and reliability of the rivet connection make the connection between the insulation module and the outer shell plastic part 6 very stable and able to withstand mechanical stress and various environmental conditions. This connection method is simple and fast, which improves production efficiency. At the same time, it does not require special pretreatment of the materials, has strong adaptability, and is suitable for a variety of materials and environments. The corrosion resistance and aesthetics of the rivet connection make it an ideal choice for applications with high requirements for product appearance, such as the design of the side insulation board of an all-terrain vehicle, which needs to take into account the use of the vehicle in harsh environments and the requirements for aesthetic appearance.

[0040] Furthermore, rivet connections require no additional components such as bolts or nuts, simplifying the assembly process and reducing maintenance requirements. Their durability and reliability also reduce subsequent maintenance. Rivet connections are also removable, facilitating repairs and component replacements. They are environmentally friendly and suitable for automated production, improving productivity.

[0041] The design of the ATV side heat shield achieves multiple advantages by placing the seat frame within the center of the outer shell component 6, providing a square groove at the bottom of the frame, and mounting the heat shield at each end of the seat frame. This layout effectively isolates the heat generated by the exhaust pipe 3, enhancing the comfort of the seating area. Furthermore, the groove in the seat frame provides additional support for the heat shield, helping to distribute the passenger's weight and increase riding comfort. The use of rivet connections not only enhances the structural stability between the heat shield module 1 and the outer shell component 6 but also allows for quick removal and replacement of the heat shield, facilitating maintenance and repair. Furthermore, the aesthetics and durability of the rivet connections enhance the vehicle's overall appearance and reduce the need for ongoing maintenance. The seat frame design also allows for efficient use of space beneath the seat, providing mounting space for other components while maintaining seat comfort. This design approach comprehensively considers heat insulation, comfort, ease of maintenance, aesthetics, durability, and space utilization, making it a highly practical solution for ATV design.

[0042] Furthermore, a tire fender 7 is provided on the rear side of the outer shell plastic member 6. This design prevents splashing mud and water, reduces the need for car washes, and protects the vehicle body from damage caused by mud, sand, and stones. It also protects the vehicle's mechanical structures, such as the tie rods and ball joints, from premature rust caused by mud and sand erosion. The fender 7 also helps reduce stone damage by preventing stones trapped in the gaps between the tires from being thrown out and damaging the vehicle's paint, thereby protecting the vehicle body.

[0043] In addition, hot plate welding is used between the outer shell plastic parts 6. This welding method can provide a high-strength connection, and the welds are smooth, which improves the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. The durability and reliability of hot plate welding reduce the need for subsequent maintenance and extend the service life of the components. The environmental friendliness of hot plate welding reduces the use of harmful chemicals and has a smaller impact on the environment. In the design of the side heat shield of the all-terrain vehicle, a tire fender 7 is added to the rear side of the outer shell plastic part 6. This detailed design significantly improves the practicality and riding experience of the vehicle. The presence of the tire fender 7 effectively prevents the mud, water, sand and gravel raised by the tires during driving from directly splashing onto the vehicle body or passengers, which not only reduces damage to the paint, but also reduces the possibility of passengers being splashed by mud and water, thereby keeping the vehicle body clean and the passengers comfortable. In addition, the fender 7 also helps protect the vehicle's mechanical structures, such as tie rods and ball joints, and prevents them from prematurely rusting due to erosion by mud and sand.

[0044] Furthermore, the hot plate welding technology employed between the outer shell plastic components 6 not only provides a high-strength and impact-resistant connection, but also creates smooth, unnoticeable welds, significantly enhancing the vehicle's overall aesthetics. The durability and reliability of this welding method means that the vehicle's components can better withstand harsh environments and long-term use, reducing the frequency of repairs and component replacements, thereby extending the vehicle's service life.

[0045] Hot plate welding is also environmentally friendly, as it does not rely on harmful chemicals, reducing the environmental impact of the production process. In addition, the automation potential of hot plate welding makes it well-suited for large-scale production, helping to improve production efficiency and reduce costs.
