Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle technology, and specifically relates to a new type of all-terrain vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles that can travel on any terrain, moving freely on terrains where ordinary vehicles cannot maneuver. In China, they are commonly known as beach buggies. Because their structure is very similar to that of motorcycles, and many parts are interchangeable, they are also sometimes called "four-wheeled motorcycles."

[0003] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are widely popular due to their superior off-road capabilities and adaptability to various terrains. However, when driving in extreme or complex terrains, the shock absorption systems of traditional ATVs often face problems such as spring offset, reduced shock absorption, and accelerated component wear. This not only affects the vehicle's driving stability but also reduces ride comfort and may even pose safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by providing a novel all-terrain vehicle that prevents shock absorber spring deflection.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A novel all-terrain vehicle, comprising a frame and a body, with a front end located at the front of the body, and a steering wheel for controlling the rotation of the vehicle mounted on the front end, characterized in that suspension assemblies are provided at both ends of the front end, and swing arm units for controlling the swaying of the vehicle body are provided at both ends of the suspension assemblies, and the swing arm units include upper swing arms and lower swing arms, and a shock-absorbing unit for vehicle shock absorption is provided between the frame and the lower swing arm, the shock-absorbing unit including a connecting frame, a shock absorber and a bracket, the bracket being located between the connecting frame and the shock absorber, a shock-absorbing spring being sleeved on the shock absorber, and limiting components with limiting functions being provided at both ends of the shock-absorbing spring on the connecting frame and the shock absorber.

[0006] In the aforementioned novel all-terrain vehicle, the limiting component is provided with a limiting plate for fixing the shock-absorbing spring, a limiting ring is provided at the edge of the limiting plate, and an installation groove is formed in the middle of the limiting ring, and a limiting groove for limiting is provided on the limiting block ring.

[0007] In the aforementioned novel all-terrain vehicle, a wear-resistant pad is provided in the mounting slot.

[0008] In the aforementioned new type of all-terrain vehicle, the connecting frame and shock absorber are connected to the vehicle frame and lower control arm respectively by bolts.

[0009] Compared with existing technologies, this new all-terrain vehicle:

[0010] 1. Limiting devices are set at both the upper and lower ends of the shock-absorbing spring. These devices can fit tightly against the shock-absorbing spring and effectively limit its vertical displacement.

[0011] 2. By preventing shock absorber springs from shifting, the system is ensured to always operate at its optimal condition, thus improving the driving stability of all-terrain vehicles in complex terrains. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this novel all-terrain vehicle includes a frame 1 and a body 2. A front end 3 is located at the front of the body 2, and a steering wheel 4 for controlling the rotation of the vehicle is installed on the front end 3. Suspension assemblies 5 are provided at both ends of the front end 3. Swing arm units 6 for controlling the swing of the body 2 are provided at both ends of the suspension assemblies 5. The swing arm unit 6 includes an upper swing arm 7 and a lower swing arm 8. A shock-absorbing unit 9 for vehicle shock absorption is provided between the frame 1 and the lower swing arm 8. The shock-absorbing unit 9 includes a connecting frame 10, a shock absorber 11, and a bracket 12. The bracket 12 is located between the connecting frame 10 and the shock absorber 11. A shock-absorbing spring 13 is sleeved on the shock absorber 11. Limiting components 14 with limiting function are provided at both ends of the shock absorber 13 on the connecting frame 10 and the shock absorber 11. The shock-absorbing components are respectively provided at both ends of the shock absorber 13 to fix the shock absorber 11 and prevent it from shifting.

[0017] To elaborate further, the limiting assembly 14 is provided with a limiting plate 15 for fixing the shock absorber spring 13. A limiting ring 16 is provided at the edge of the limiting plate 15, and a mounting groove 17 is formed in the middle of the limiting ring 16. A limiting groove 18 is provided on the limiting ring to limit the shock absorber spring 13. The shock absorber spring 13 is engaged in the mounting groove 17 of the limiting plate 15 to prevent displacement. The limiting groove 18 on the limiting ring 16 can limit the shock absorber spring 13 under the compression state, preventing it from being squeezed out of the limiting ring 16 during the compression process and causing jamming, which would affect the use of the vehicle.

[0018] To elaborate further, a wear-resistant pad 19 is provided inside the mounting slot 17. During vehicle movement, the wear-resistant pad 19 can reduce the friction of the shock absorber spring 13 and improve the service life of the shock absorber spring 13.

[0019] To elaborate further, the connecting frame 10 and the shock absorber 11 are connected to the frame 1 and the lower control arm 8 respectively by bolts 20.

[0020] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0021] Although this document frequently uses terms such as frame 1, body 2, front end 3, steering wheel 4, suspension assembly 5, control arm unit 6, upper control arm 7, lower control arm 8, shock absorber unit 9, connecting bracket 10, shock absorber 11, bracket 12, shock absorber spring 13, limiting assembly 14, limiting plate 15, limiting ring 16, mounting groove 17, limiting groove 18, wear-resistant pad 19, and bolt 20, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. The use of these terms is merely for the convenience of describing and explaining the essence of this utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation would contradict the spirit of this utility model.
