[0030] This utility model provides an all-terrain vehicle. The front of the all-terrain vehicle's cab includes a metal front bulkhead, which isolates the cab from the front of the all-terrain vehicle. When the front of the all-terrain vehicle catches fire, it slows down the spread of the fire into the cab, extends the escape time, and improves the safety of the cab. The metal front bulkhead can also reduce the occurrence of foreign objects penetrating the front of the all-terrain vehicle into the cab during driving, further ensuring the safety of the cab.
[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides an all-terrain vehicle. The front of the all-terrain vehicle's cab 600 includes a metal front bulkhead 610, which isolates the cab 600 from the front of the all-terrain vehicle. When the front of the all-terrain vehicle catches fire, it slows down the spread of the fire into the cab 600, prolongs the escape time, and improves the safety of the cab 600. The metal front bulkhead 610 can also reduce the occurrence of foreign objects penetrating the front of the all-terrain vehicle to the cab 600 during driving, further ensuring the safety of the cab 600.
[0032] Please see Figures 2 to 4The all-terrain vehicle includes a frame 100, a running gear, and a cab 600. The frame 100 is located at the bottom of the all-terrain vehicle, providing support for the entire vehicle. The frame 100 includes a bottom frame and a load-bearing plate disposed within the bottom frame. Preferably, the load-bearing plate has several weight-reduction holes to reduce the weight of the frame 100 and the overall vehicle weight. The running gear is mounted on the frame 100 to drive the all-terrain vehicle. The running gear includes at least one motor, a front wheel, and a rear wheel. The motor is powered by energy stored in a battery, thereby driving the front or rear wheel to rotate and propel the all-terrain vehicle. The cab 600 is mounted on the frame 100 and includes a metal front bulkhead 610. The metal front bulkhead 610 is disposed at the front of the cab 600 to isolate the cab 600 from the front of the all-terrain vehicle. Electric all-terrain vehicles use a lot of electronic control components. To facilitate the overall space design of the vehicle, these components are usually placed at the front. By installing a metal front bulkhead 610, the spread of fire to the driver's cabin 600 can be slowed down after a fire breaks out at the front of the vehicle, buying more time for escape and improving the safety of the all-terrain vehicle. The metal front bulkhead 610 can also reduce the chance of foreign objects penetrating into the driver's cabin 600 during driving, effectively protecting the safety of the occupants. The metal front bulkhead 610 has a certain degree of rigidity, which can meet the installation needs of some components. For example, some electronic control components can be directly installed on the metal front bulkhead 610, thereby facilitating the design of the front space and improving the space utilization of the front space.
[0033] In one embodiment, the metal front bulkhead 610 is integrally formed by sheet metal processing and other methods to ensure the integrity and reliability of the metal front bulkhead 610 and effectively protect the isolated front of the all-terrain vehicle from the driver's cab 600.
[0034] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the metal front bulkhead 610 includes a first mounting portion 611. The first mounting portion 611 is located on the side of the metal front bulkhead 610 facing away from the driver's cab 600, that is, the first mounting portion 611 is located on the front side of the metal front bulkhead 610, with the front side referring to the direction of the all-terrain vehicle's front end. The first mounting portion 611 provides mounting space to facilitate the installation of some components on the front side of the metal front bulkhead 610, such as some electronic control components located at the front of the all-terrain vehicle. A fuse box 681 is mounted on the first mounting portion 611. The fuse box 681 is a crucial component of the all-terrain vehicle's electrical system, responsible for managing and protecting the vehicle's electronic equipment and safety functions. By placing the fuse box 681 on the first mounting portion 611, it is convenient to maintain the fuse box 681 and perform operations such as replacing fuses.
[0035] Please see Figure 5In one embodiment of this utility model, the first mounting part 611 includes a mounting area 6111 and a fixing area 6112. The fixing area 6112 is fixed to the metal front bulkhead 610. The fixing method between the fixing area 6112 and the metal front bulkhead 610 can be welding, bolting, gluing, or other existing fixing connection methods. The mounting area 6111 is located at the end of the fixing area 6112 away from the metal front bulkhead 610, so that a gap 612 is formed between the mounting area 6111 and the metal front bulkhead 610. The gap 612 can provide space for the installation of components such as the fuse box 681. For example, the gap 612 can accommodate nuts so that components such as the fuse box 681 can be installed on the mounting area 6111 by bolting. When performing maintenance or disassembly of components such as the fuse box 681, it is only necessary to open the space at the front of the vehicle, without having to operate near the side of the driver's cabin 600 with the metal front bulkhead 610, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation and increasing the speed of disassembly and maintenance.
[0036] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment, the fixing area 6112 includes an abutment portion and an extension portion. The abutment portion abuts against the main body of the metal front panel 610 to increase the contact area between the fixing area 6112 and the main body of the metal front panel 610, thereby improving the connection strength. Increasing the contact area also facilitates the provision of through holes for connecting and fixing the fixing area 6112 and the main body of the metal front panel 610 by means of bolts or the like. The extension portion is perpendicular to the abutment portion to increase the distance between the mounting area 6111 and the metal front panel 610, thereby forming a gap 612 between the mounting area 6111 and the main body of the metal front panel 610, facilitating the installation of components on the first mounting portion 611.
[0037] Please see Figure 5 In one embodiment of this utility model, the first mounting part 611 is further equipped with a T-BOX 682 (Telematics Box, remote information processing control unit) and a relay 683. The T-BOX 682, as an important component of the vehicle networking system, together with the host and backend system, constitutes a complete vehicle networking system to realize data interaction and remote control between the vehicle and the cloud platform. The relay 683, as an electronic control device in the electronic control system, is used in the automatic control circuit, playing roles such as automatic adjustment, safety protection, and circuit switching. The first mounting part 611 facilitates the installation of components such as the T-BOX 682 and the relay 683.
[0038] Please see Figure 2In one embodiment of this utility model, the all-terrain vehicle includes an air conditioner 685 and a speaker 686, both of which are installed within the driver's cabin 600. The air conditioner 685 regulates the temperature within the driver's cabin 600. The air conditioner 685 is installed in the middle of a metal front bulkhead 610, which has a large space in the middle, avoiding the steering wheel area while providing storage space for the passenger side, meeting various needs. The metal front bulkhead 610 has high strength and good load-bearing capacity, facilitating the installation of the air conditioner 685 and ensuring stable and reliable installation. The speaker 686 is installed on both sides of the metal front bulkhead 610, providing good sound quality for convenient listening by the driver and passengers.
[0039] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower sides of the metal front bulkhead 610 are provided with a clearance portion 614 facing into the cockpit 600. The clearance portion 614 is used to avoid the front wheels to prevent the front wheels from interfering with the metal front bulkhead 610.
[0040] In one embodiment, the avoidance portion 614 is arc-shaped to accommodate the avoidance of the front wheel, while reducing sharp edges and stress concentration.
[0041] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, a reinforcing portion 615 is provided above the clearance portion 614. The reinforcing portion 615 includes a first reinforcing surface 6151 and a second reinforcing surface 6152, and a longitudinal bending area is formed between the first reinforcing surface 6151 and the second reinforcing surface 6152. The bending between the first reinforcing surface 6151 and the second reinforcing surface 6152 forms a longitudinal bending area. There is a bending area between the first reinforcing surface 6151 and the clearance portion 614, and there is also a bending area between the second reinforcing surface 6152 and the clearance area. The bending area formed by the bending can improve the strength at the edge of the clearance portion 614, effectively ensuring the overall strength of the metal front panel 610.
[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the upper part of the metal front bulkhead 610 slopes downwards towards the front of the all-terrain vehicle, and the lower part slopes downwards towards the rear of the all-terrain vehicle. A protrusion extending outwards from the middle of the metal front bulkhead 610 towards the cab 600 provides installation space for an air conditioner 685 within the cab 600. Simultaneously, the protrusion formed between the upper and lower parts of the metal front bulkhead 610 increases its strength, particularly its resistance to frontal impacts, thereby improving protection for the occupants within the cab 600 and enhancing the safety of the cab 600 when the all-terrain vehicle is impacted.
[0043] Please see Figure 3 In one embodiment, a support portion 613 is provided on the side of the metal front bulkhead 610 facing away from the driver's cab 600. One end of the support portion 613 abuts against the lower part of the metal front bulkhead 610, and the other end abuts against the frame 100. The lower part of the metal front bulkhead 610 slopes downwards towards the rear of the all-terrain vehicle. Stress concentration occurs at the connection between the upper and lower parts of the metal front bulkhead 610. That is, the strength of the protrusion at the connection between the upper and lower parts of the metal front bulkhead 610 increases in the longitudinal direction of the all-terrain vehicle, but decreases in the vertical direction. By providing the support portion 613, further support can be effectively provided at the lower part of the metal front bulkhead 610, preventing deformation of the lower part of the metal front bulkhead 610 and improving the load-bearing capacity of the metal front bulkhead 610 in the vertical direction of the all-terrain vehicle.
[0044] In one embodiment, the support 613 is inclined from top to bottom toward the front of the all-terrain vehicle. The support 613 and the lower part of the metal front panel 610 are inclined in opposite directions, forming a stable triangular support together with the frame 100 to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the metal front panel 610 in the vertical direction of the all-terrain vehicle.
[0045] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the cockpit 600 includes a frame 620, which forms a frame shape at the front of the cockpit 600. The metal front bulkhead 610 is fixed within the frame shape, and the frame 620 is fixed to the vehicle frame 100, thereby providing effective support for the cockpit 600, protecting the cockpit 600 from impact, improving the impact resistance of the cockpit 600, and enhancing the safety of the occupants inside the cockpit 600.
[0046] In one embodiment of this utility model, the walking mechanism includes a front motor, a rear motor, a front wheel, and a rear wheel. The front motor drives the front wheel to rotate, and the rear motor drives the rear wheel to rotate. The controller of the front motor is mounted on the metal front bulkhead 610, facilitating the arrangement of the front space of the all-terrain vehicle. The controller of the front motor includes, but is not limited to, bolts connected to the metal front bulkhead 610 for fixing the controller of the front motor.
[0047] In another embodiment, the walking mechanism includes a motor that drives the front wheel to rotate, thereby causing the rear wheel to rotate; in yet another embodiment, the walking mechanism includes a motor that drives the rear wheel to rotate, thereby causing the front wheel to rotate.
[0048] The all-terrain vehicle provided by this utility model isolates the driver's cabin 600 from the front of the all-terrain vehicle using a metal front bulkhead 610. This effectively protects the safety of the occupants inside the driver's cabin 600, reducing the risk of the cabin being penetrated by foreign objects during driving. Furthermore, the metal front bulkhead 610 effectively isolates the driver's cabin 600 from the front area of the all-terrain vehicle, thus slowing the spread of fire to the cabin and providing time for occupants to escape, thereby improving their safety. Bolts and other fasteners can be used to fix electrical control components or other parts to the metal front bulkhead 610, facilitating the installation of electric components and allowing for better design of the front space of the all-terrain vehicle. Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes some practical problems in the prior art, thus possessing high utilization value and practical significance.
[0049] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
