Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of all-terrain vehicles, and in particular to UTV windshield structures. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles capable of traversing any terrain, moving freely on surfaces where ordinary vehicles struggle. UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicles) broadly refer to ATVs, generally known as practical multi-functional ATVs. Their primary transmission system is the engine, a four-wheeled motorized vehicle designed based on its horsepower and torque. These vehicles are simple and practical, with excellent off-road performance. They feature wide tires that increase the contact area with the ground, generating greater friction and reducing the vehicle's pressure on the ground, making them easy to traverse beaches, riverbeds, forest trails, streams, and harsh desert terrain. They can carry people or transport goods.

[0003] In current technology, most all-terrain vehicle windshields are made of acrylic, which only provides basic wind and mud protection. However, due to the complex operating environments of all-terrain vehicles, especially in rainy weather and on muddy roads, rainwater severely impairs visibility through the windshield. On muddy roads, splashed mud covers the windshield, requiring manual cleaning by crew members to prevent further obstruction of the driver's view. In conclusion, under certain conditions, older windshield systems significantly impact the driving experience and safety.

[0004] In view of this, how to optimize the windshield system of existing all-terrain vehicles to improve the driving experience of passengers and ensure the safety of passengers is a problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first fixing frame has a connecting block, and the connecting block is provided with a locking slot for inserting the locking member.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the locking member comprises:

[0019] The connecting shaft is rotatably arranged on the second fixing frame;

[0020] The locking rod is fixedly arranged on the connecting shaft and is inserted into the locking slot at one end.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the locking rod comprises a first locking portion and a second locking portion, and the first locking portion and the second locking portion are fixedly arranged on the connecting shaft, and the first locking portion and the second locking portion have a certain spacing therebetween.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the first locking portion and the second locking portion are arranged in parallel.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the first fixing frame and the second fixing frame are fixedly arranged on the frame and the front windshield by bolts and nuts.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the locking member further comprises:

[0025] The handle is fixedly arranged on the connecting shaft and located at the other end of the locking rod.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the handle is provided with a recess for the driver to hold with his hand.

[0027] In a possible implementation, the front windshield is provided with a windshield wiper.

[0028] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects: the front windshield has a closed state and an open state, when the front windshield is in the closed state, the front windshield is located in the opening and abuts against the vehicle frame; when the front windshield is in the open state, one end of the front windshield is rotated away from the opening and has a certain angle with the vehicle frame; the locking device is at least two and is arranged on the vehicle frame to fix the front windshield in the open state. Thus, the windshield is different from the past, and a unique design is adopted, i.e., the windshield is changed from a traditional simple fixed type to a structure capable of being opened at different angles and having a windshield wiper function. The driver can open and close the front windshield according to weather conditions, wind speed and other factors, so that the driver can feel the wind blowing from all directions and the taste of nature when driving, and the driving comfort is improved. On the other hand, especially in summer, the driver can be cooler. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
