[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle front outer panel assembly 100 of an embodiment of the present invention includes an outer panel body 1, which is used to be assembled at the corner position of the front side of the vehicle. For example, the vehicle can be an all-terrain vehicle or the like. The material of the outer panel body 1 can be plastic, etc. The outer panel body 1 can be assembled at the left corner or right corner of the front side of the vehicle through fasteners. The outer panel body 1 can be used to block mud, provide protection, and enhance the appearance.

[0026] The outer panel body 1 includes a front panel portion 11 for facing the front side of the vehicle and a side panel portion 12 for facing the side of the vehicle. The outer panel body 1 is provided with at least one ventilation hole 13 extending along the front and rear direction of the vehicle. One end opening of the ventilation hole 13 is located on the front panel portion 11 and adjacent to the connection between the front panel portion 11 and the side panel portion 12.

[0027] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the outer panel body 1 can be generally an L-shaped structure. Depending on the orientation, the outer panel body 1 can include two parts: a front panel portion 11 and a side panel portion 12. The front panel portion 11 faces the front side of the vehicle after assembly, and the side panel portion 12 faces the left or right side of the vehicle after assembly.

[0028] The outer panel body 1 is also provided with ventilation holes 13. Ventilation holes 13 can extend in the front-to-back direction and penetrate the outer panel assembly. Ventilation holes 13 can be integrally injection-molded into the outer panel body 1. The junction of the front panel portion 11 and the side panel portion 12 is located at the edge formed by the front panel portion 11 and the side panel portion 12. The front openings of the ventilation holes 13 can be located in the front panel portion 11 and adjacent to the edge of the front panel portion 11 and the side panel portion 12.

[0029] The vehicle front outer panel assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present invention is provided with ventilation holes 13 at the outer edge thereof, thereby reducing the wind resistance of the vehicle during driving and increasing the ventilation rate, thereby improving the overall driving performance of the vehicle and user experience.

[0030] In some embodiments, the outer panel body 1 includes a connected fender 14 and a guard plate 15, the joint of the fender 14 and the guard plate 15 is located at the front plate portion 11, the fender 14 and a part of the guard plate 15 form the front plate portion 11, and the other part of the guard plate 15 forms the side plate portion 12.

[0031] For example, Figure 1As shown, the outer panel body 1 can be set in a split manner, thereby facilitating the processing and molding of the outer panel body 1. For example, the outer panel body 1 can include two independent parts, which are a mudguard 14 and a guard plate 15. The mudguard 14 and the guard plate 15 can both be made of plastic, and the mudguard 14 and the guard plate 15 can both be processed and molded by injection molding.

[0032] The fender 14 and the guard plate 15 can be connected and fixed by partially overlapping each other. The overlapping portion of the fender 14 and the guard plate 15 is the joint between the two, and the overlapping portion can be located on the front plate portion 11. After installation, the fender 14 can be oriented toward the front of the vehicle. The guard plate 15 can be generally L-shaped, with a portion of the guard plate 15 facing the front of the vehicle and another portion facing the right or left side of the vehicle.

[0033] In some embodiments, the joint between the fender 14 and the guard plate 15 is a joint seam 16, which extends along the height direction of the vehicle, and the ventilation holes 13 are provided at the joint seam 16. Figure 1 As shown, the fender 14 can be overlapped on the front side of the guard plate 15, and the joint seam 16 can be regarded as the fitting position of the right edge of the fender 14 and the guard plate 15. The joint seam 16 as a whole can extend in the up and down direction, and the opening of the above-mentioned ventilation hole 13 can be set at the joint seam 16.

[0034] Since the overlapping portion of the fender 14 and the guard plate 15 has a high structural strength, setting the opening of the ventilation hole 13 at the joint seam 16 can reduce the structural weakening effect caused by the setting of the ventilation hole 13, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the vehicle front outer panel assembly 100.

[0035] In some embodiments, the ventilation hole 13 is a rectangular hole, and the length direction of the cross section of the rectangular hole extends along the joint seam 16. Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the ventilation hole 13 is rectangular, and the long side of the rectangular hole generally extends in the up and down directions. Thus, the ventilation hole 13 can be generally arranged on the above-mentioned overlapping part, further reducing the effect of structural weakening caused by the setting of the ventilation hole 13.

[0036] In some embodiments, the vehicle front outer panel assembly 100 includes a tube body 2, an opening is provided on the front plate portion 11, the tube body 2 passes through the opening and extends along the front and rear direction of the vehicle, the tube body 2 is located on the inner side of the side plate portion 12, and the inner hole of the tube body 2 forms a ventilation hole 13.

[0037] For example, Figure 1As shown, the outer panel body 1 may be provided with two openings arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction, one of which may be located on the front panel portion 11. The tube 2 may be in the shape of a square tube and pass through the two openings to be fixedly connected to the outer panel body 1. The inner side of the side panel portion 12 is the side of the side panel portion 12 facing the interior of the vehicle. For example, if the vehicle front outer panel assembly 100 is located on the right side of the vehicle, the tube 2 may be located on the left side of the side panel portion 12, thereby preventing the tube 2 from being exposed.

[0038] When in use, air can flow through the ventilation holes 13 in the tube body 2. Since the tube body 2 is an independent component, it is convenient for the processing and forming of the tube body 2, and the smoothness of the wall surface inside the tube body 2 is ensured, thereby fully reducing the wind resistance.

[0039] In some embodiments, at least one end of the tube body 2 is provided with a flange 21, which extends along the tube mouth of the tube body 2 and closes into a circle. The flange 21 is located on the outside of the outer panel body 1 and is overlapped and fixed to the outer panel body 1.

[0040] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the flange 21 is an external flange. Both the front and rear ends of the tube body 2 can be integrally formed with the flange 21 through injection molding. The flange 21 can be located on the outer circumference of the tube body 2 and extend along the circumference of the tube body 2 to form a closed circle. When the tube body 2 is assembled on the outer panel body 1, the two flanges 21 are located on the outer side of the outer panel body 1 and abut against the outer panel body 1. This, on the one hand, can limit the movement of the tube body 2 in the front and rear directions, ensuring the structural strength and stability of the assembly. On the other hand, the flange 21 can also block the gap between the opening and the tube body 2, preventing the problem of airflow flowing through the gap, thereby eliminating noise and further reducing wind resistance.

[0041] In some embodiments, the tube body 2 includes a first tube 22 and a second tube 23, which are connected to each other in the front-rear direction of the vehicle to form the tube body 2. Figure 2 As shown, the tube body 2 can be divided and can include two independent parts, the two independent parts are a first tube 22 and a second tube 23 , wherein the first tube 22 can be arranged at the front side of the second tube 23 .

[0042] The front end of the first tube 22 and the rear end of the second tube 23 can both be provided with the above-mentioned flange 21. The first tube 22 can be inserted into the outer panel body 1 from the opening on the front side of the outer panel body 1, and the flange 21 at the front end of the first tube 22 is stopped at the front side of the outer panel body 1. The second tube 23 can be inserted into the outer panel body 1 from the rear side of the outer panel body 1, and the flange 21 at the rear end of the second tube 23 is stopped at the rear side of the outer panel body 1, and the rear end of the first tube 22 and the front end of the second tube 23 can be abutted and connected, thereby facilitating the installation, arrangement, disassembly and replacement of the tube body 2, and also helping to simplify the processing of the tube body 2.

[0043] In some embodiments, the tube body 2 is assembled to the outer panel body 1 by fasteners. For example, the fasteners can be screws, etc., which can pass through the through holes on the flange 21 of the tube body 2 and connect to the outer panel body 1, thereby ensuring the fixed structural strength of the tube body 2.

[0044] In some embodiments, there are multiple ventilation holes 13 , which are spaced apart along the extending direction of the joint seam 16 , and the length of the ventilation holes 13 along the front-rear direction of the vehicle gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0045] For example, Figure 2 As shown, two ventilation holes 13 can be provided, and two corresponding tube bodies 2 can also be provided. The two tube bodies 2 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the vertical direction, with the upper tube body 2 having a longer front-to-back length than the lower tube body 2. This allows the length of the tube bodies 2 to adapt to the shape of the outer panel body 1. Furthermore, the shorter the lower tube body 2, the lower the wind resistance, further reducing wind resistance.

[0046] The following describes an all-terrain vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0047] The all-terrain vehicle of the present invention includes a vehicle front outer panel assembly, which may be the vehicle front outer panel assembly 100 described in any of the above embodiments. Figure 3 As shown, there are two vehicle front outer panel assemblies 100, and the two vehicle front outer panel assemblies 100 are respectively arranged at the two corner positions of the front side of the all-terrain vehicle, that is, one of the vehicle front outer panel assemblies 100 can be arranged at the left corner of the front of the all-terrain vehicle, and the other vehicle front outer panel assembly 100 can be arranged at the right corner of the front of the all-terrain vehicle, and the two vehicle front outer panel assemblies 100 are generally formed in a radially symmetrical arrangement.

[0048] This ensures the ventilation rate on the left and right sides of the all-terrain vehicle and reduces wind resistance, and also makes the structures on both sides roughly consistent, ensuring the overall appearance.

[0049] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments made by ordinary technicians in this field are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
