[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 This invention describes a vehicle underrun protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the bottom protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a protective body 10, a protective baffle 20, and a pneumatic actuator 30.

[0035] The protective body 10 is suitable for being fixed to the chassis 99 or cargo box 98 of a vehicle. The protective body 10 includes: a protective beam 11; a protective baffle 20 movably disposed on the protective beam 11; and a pneumatic actuator 30 disposed on the protective body 10. The pneumatic actuator 30 is connected to the protective baffle 20 and is used to drive the protective baffle 20 to move, thereby changing the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20.

[0036] As some embodiments of this application, the protective body 10 is fixed to the chassis 99 of the vehicle, and as some embodiments of this application, the protective body 10 is fixed to the cargo box 98 of the vehicle.

[0037] The protective baffle 20 is movably mounted on the protective beam 11, meaning that the protective baffle 20 can move relative to the protective beam 11. The pneumatic actuator 30 is mounted on the protective body 10 and is connected to the protective baffle 20. The connection method between the pneumatic actuator 30 and the protective baffle 20 can be, but is not limited to, welding, bolt connection, etc. As some embodiments of this application, the pneumatic actuator 30 is connected to the protective baffle 20 by bolt connection. Furthermore, the pneumatic actuator 30 can be used to drive the protective baffle 20 to move, thereby changing the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20. The pneumatic actuator 30 can be, but is not limited to, a cylinder, a pneumatic motor, etc. As some embodiments of this application, the pneumatic actuator 30 is a cylinder.

[0038] It should be noted that the pneumatic actuator 30 can drive the protective baffle 20 to change its ground clearance. When the vehicle is in an urban area (where the roads are relatively flat and have high passability), the pneumatic actuator 30 can drive the protective baffle 20 to reduce its ground clearance, thereby protecting the underside of the vehicle and reducing the probability of small motorcycles or electric vehicles crawling under the vehicle. This reduces the risk of small motorcycles or electric vehicles crawling under the vehicle and causing a crushing accident.

[0039] When the vehicle is located outside the city (where the road is uneven and the passability is low), the pneumatic actuator 30 can drive the protective baffle 20 to move, thereby increasing the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20 and enabling the vehicle to have excellent passability.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be explained that the protective beam 11 also has a certain protective function. By movably setting the protective baffle 20 on the protective beam 11, when the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20 is adjusted to be greater than or equal to the ground clearance of the protective beam 11, the protective beam 11 can also reduce the probability of small motorcycles and electric vehicles going under the vehicle. Moreover, the protective beam 11 can also reduce the probability of the vehicle chassis being scratched.

[0041] In addition, it is understandable that the protective beam 11 provides an installation position for the protective body 10, and the protective body 10 provides an installation position for the pneumatic actuator 30, which helps to reduce the installation difficulty of the protective body 10 and the pneumatic actuator 30.

[0042] As some embodiments of this application, the bottom protection device can be provided on the side bottom of the vehicle, or the bottom protection device can be provided on the rear bottom of the vehicle, or both the side bottom and the rear bottom of the vehicle can be provided with the bottom protection device proposed in this application.

[0043] Therefore, by making the protective baffle 20 movable on the protective beam 11 and driving the protective baffle 20 to move by the pneumatic actuator 30, the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20 can be lowered as needed, which can reduce the probability of small motorcycles and electric vehicles going under the vehicle, thus improving the vehicle's safety performance. Furthermore, the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20 can be increased as needed to give the vehicle excellent passability, thus improving the vehicle's reliability.

[0044] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 2-5 , Figure 7 As shown, the vehicle's bottom protection device also includes: a transmission rod 40, a protective baffle 20 rotatably mounted on the protective beam 11, and a pneumatic actuator 30 including: a drive body 31 and a drive rod 32. The drive body 31 is used to drive the drive rod 32 to move. One end of the transmission rod 40 is connected to the protective baffle 20, and the other end of the transmission rod 40 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 32.

[0045] The protective baffle 20 is rotatably mounted on the protective beam 11, meaning that the protective baffle 20 can rotate relative to the protective body 10 to change the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20.

[0046] The drive body 31 and the drive rod 32 are connected by a transmission. As in some embodiments of this application, the drive body 31 can drive the drive rod 32 to move, so that the drive rod 32 moves along the height direction of the vehicle (i.e., Figure 1 Move in the Z direction (as shown).

[0047] The transmission rod 40 has two opposite ends. One end of the transmission rod 40 is connected to the protective baffle 20, and the other end of the transmission rod 40 is rotatably connected to the drive rod 32. As some embodiments of this application, the transmission rod 40 has a first pivot shaft, and the drive rod 32 has a first pivot hole. The first pivot shaft of the transmission rod 40 and the first pivot hole of the drive rod 32 cooperate with each other to enable the transmission rod 40 and the drive rod 32 to be connected in a transmission manner.

[0048] By using the drive body 31 to drive the drive rod 32 to move, and connecting one end of the transmission rod 40 to the protective baffle 20 and the other end to the drive rod 32 rotatably, the linear motion of the drive rod 32 can drive the protective baffle 20 to rotate, thereby changing the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20. This can reduce the probability of small motorcycles and electric vehicles going under the vehicle, thus improving the vehicle's safety performance.

[0049] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective baffle 20 has a connecting seat 21, and one end of the transmission rod 40 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 21.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, the connecting seat 21 has one of a second pivot shaft and a second pivot hole, and the transmission rod 40 has the other of a second pivot shaft and a second pivot hole. The second pivot shaft and the second pivot hole cooperate with each other to make the transmission rod 40 rotatably connected to the connecting seat 21.

[0051] This arrangement allows for a reasonable connection between the transmission rod 40 and the protective baffle 20, ensuring smooth and stable rotation of the protective baffle 20. It also reduces the risk of any two components, such as the drive rod 32, transmission rod 40, and protective baffle 20, getting stuck during the driving process, thus improving the reliability of the bottom protection device.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 4-7 As shown, the vehicle's bottom protection device also includes a connector 50, which includes a first sub-body 51 and a second sub-body 52. ​​The first sub-body 51 and the second sub-body 52 are rotatably connected. The first sub-body 51 is located on the protective beam 11, and the protective baffle 20 is connected to the second sub-body 52.

[0053] The first sub-body 51 and the second sub-body 52 are rotatably connected. As some embodiments of this application, the first sub-body 51 has one of a third pivot shaft and a third pivot hole, and the second sub-body 52 has the other of a third pivot shaft and a third pivot hole. The third pivot shaft and the third pivot hole cooperate with each other to make the first sub-body 51 and the second sub-body 52 rotatably connected, so that the protective baffle 20 can rotate relative to the protective body 10.

[0054] This configuration allows for a reliable rotatable connection between the protective beam 11 and the protective baffle 20, ensuring smooth and stable rotation of the protective baffle 20 relative to the protective beam 11. This reduces the risk of the protective baffle 20 getting stuck or interfering with the protective beam 11 during rotation. Furthermore, by rotatably connecting the transmission rod 40 to the drive rod 32, the transmission rod 40 to the connecting seat 21, and the first sub-body 51 and the second sub-body 52, the linear motion of the transmission rod 40 reliably drives the protective baffle 20 to rotate, resulting in a simple and reliable bottom protection device structure.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, the protective baffle 20 is slidably disposed on the protective beam 11, and the pneumatic actuator 30 includes: a drive body 31 and a drive rod 32. The drive body 31 is used to drive the drive rod 32 to move, and the drive rod 32 is connected to the protective baffle 20.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the protective baffle 20 has a protrusion, and the protective beam 11 has a slide rail. The protrusion of the protective baffle 20 and the slide rail of the protective beam 11 cooperate with each other so that the protective baffle 20 is slidably disposed on the protective beam 11. The drive rod 32 is connected to the protective baffle 20. In some embodiments of this application, the drive rod 32 is connected to the protective baffle 20 by bolts. The drive body 31 can drive the drive rod 32 along the height direction of the vehicle (i.e., Figure 1 The protective baffle 20 moves along the height direction of the vehicle (i.e., the Z direction shown) to move in the Z direction. Figure 1 The protective baffle 20 slides relative to the protective beam 11 in the Z direction (as shown) to change the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20.

[0057] This design allows for a reasonable structure of the bottom protection device, reduces the difficulty of its installation, and enables reliable and rapid adjustment of the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20, thereby improving the reliability of the bottom protection device.

[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are multiple pneumatic actuators 30, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the protective baffle 20.

[0059] The number of pneumatic actuators 30 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, etc. As some embodiments of this application, the number of pneumatic actuators 30 is two, and the two pneumatic actuators 30 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the protective baffle 20. For example, the two pneumatic actuators 30 are arranged along the width direction of the vehicle (i.e.,...). Figure 1 The Y-direction (as shown) is arranged at intervals.

[0060] By arranging multiple pneumatic actuators 30 at intervals along the extension direction of the protective baffle 20, the protective baffle 20 can be driven simultaneously by multiple pneumatic actuators 30. This makes the force on the protective baffle 20 more uniform, reduces the risk of the protective baffle 20 tilting due to the force on one side being significantly greater than that on the other side, and helps to improve the smoothness of the operation of the protective baffle 20.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pneumatic actuator 30 is adapted to be connected to the vehicle's air tank to draw air from the air tank. As some embodiments of this application, the vehicle proposed in this application can be a large vehicle such as a truck or van. The vehicle has an air tank, which can be used for, but is not limited to, braking functions. The pneumatic actuator 30 is connected to the vehicle's air tank through a pipeline to draw air from the air tank. This arrangement eliminates the need for a separate air storage device, which helps to save the number of parts and reduce the installation difficulty of the bottom protection device.

[0062] As some embodiments of this application, the pneumatic actuator 30 is connected to the vehicle's air reservoir via a pipeline. A control valve is provided on the pipeline, and the cab has a button for operating the control valve. The control valve can be directly operated by pressing the button to control the action of the protective baffle 20.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the protective body 10 also includes: a connecting plate 12, which is adapted to be fixed to the chassis 99 or the cargo box 98; a protective beam 11 connected to the connecting plate 12; and a pneumatic actuator 30 disposed on the connecting plate 12.

[0064] As some embodiments of this application, the connecting plate 12 is fixed to the chassis 99 of the vehicle, and as some embodiments of this application, the connecting plate 12 is fixed to the cargo box 98 of the vehicle.

[0065] The protective beam 11 is connected to the connecting plate 12. The connection method between the protective beam 11 and the connecting plate 12 can be, but is not limited to, welding, bolt connection, etc. As some embodiments of this application, the protective beam 11 and the connecting plate 12 are connected by welding. The pneumatic actuator 30 is located on the connecting plate 12.

[0066] As some embodiments of this application, the drive body 31 of the pneumatic actuator 30 is connected to the connecting plate 12 by bolts. As some embodiments of this application, the protective baffle 20 is movably disposed on the protective beam 11 by the connecting member 50.

[0067] This arrangement allows the protective beam 11 to be separated from the chassis 99 or cargo box 98 by the connecting plate 12, thereby reducing the probability of interference between the cargo box 98 or chassis 99 and the protective baffle 20. Furthermore, by setting the connecting plate 12, the installation firmness of the protective beam 11 can be improved, thereby providing a stronger support effect for the protective baffle 20. This further reduces the probability of small motorcycles and electric vehicles crawling under the vehicle, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the bottom protection device.

[0068] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, there are multiple connecting plates 12 and multiple pneumatic actuators 30, with each pneumatic actuator 30 corresponding to one of the multiple connecting plates 12.

[0069] The number of connecting plates 12 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, etc., and the number of pneumatic actuators 30 can be, but is not limited to, two, three, four, etc. As some embodiments of this application, the number of connecting plates 12 is two, the number of pneumatic actuators 30 is two, and the two pneumatic actuators 30 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two connecting plates 12. The drive body 31 of each pneumatic actuator 30 is fixed to the corresponding connecting plate 12.

[0070] By setting multiple connecting plates 12, the installation firmness of the protective beam 11 can be improved, and the protective baffle 20 can be provided with a strong support effect. In addition, multiple connecting plates 12 can provide installation positions for multiple pneumatic actuators 30, so that multiple pneumatic actuators 30 can be set apart, which helps to reduce the installation difficulty of multiple pneumatic actuators 30.

[0071] According to the present invention, the vehicle includes the underbody protection device of the vehicle described in the above embodiment. By enabling the protective baffle 20 to be movably disposed on the protective beam 11 and driving the protective baffle 20 to move by the pneumatic actuator 30, the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20 can be adjusted as needed, thereby reducing the probability of small motorcycles and electric vehicles crawling under the vehicle and improving the vehicle's safety performance. Furthermore, the ground clearance of the protective baffle 20 can be increased as needed to give the vehicle excellent passability and improve the vehicle's reliability.
