[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1:

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1-4.

[0021] A lightweight, streamlined, drag-reducing car body includes a roof panel 1 and a carbon fiber composite frame 2. The roof panel 1 is fixedly connected to the carbon fiber composite frame 2. Two side panels 3, a bottom panel 5, and a front panel 4 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the carbon fiber composite frame 2. A sealing mounting bracket 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the carbon fiber composite frame 2 away from the front panel 4. Two hinges 7 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sealing mounting bracket 6. Door panels 8 are fixedly installed at the output ends of the two hinges 7. The outer surfaces of the two door panels 8 are sealed together.

[0022] Specifically, the main components of the carriage, namely the top plate 1, front plate 4, bottom plate 5, and two bottom plates 5, are assembled using a carbon fiber composite frame 2. This ensures the stability of the main body of the carriage while giving it an arrow-like appearance, effectively reducing aerodynamic drag. At the same time, the outer surfaces of the two door panels 8 are sealed together. The sealed design of the door panels 8 reduces the overall drag coefficient, thereby making the carriage more streamlined, improving its aesthetics, and reducing drag.

[0023] In the embodiment: the front panel 4 is arc-shaped, and the carbon fiber composite frame 2 is smooth.

[0024] Specifically, because the front panel 4 is curved, it effectively reduces aerodynamic drag and ensures high-speed operation stability. The carbon fiber composite frame 2 is smooth and uses carbon fiber composite material for the carriage, which reduces weight and achieves higher energy efficiency, increasing the energy saving rate of the air conditioning system by 25%.

[0025] In the embodiment: handles 9 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the two door panels 8, the two door panels 8 are rotatably connected to the two side panels 3 and the sealing mounting bracket 6, and the intersection of the door panel 8 and the side panel 3 is a smooth arc.

[0026] Specifically, because handles 9 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of both door panels 8, and the two door panels 8 are rotatably connected to the two side panels 3 and the sealing mounting bracket 6, and the intersection of the door panel 8 and the side panel 3 is a smooth arc, the airflow direction is optimized and the generation of vortices is reduced. Combined with the sealing design of the side door and the rear door, the overall wind resistance coefficient is reduced by 15% to 20%.

[0027] Working principle: Because the top plate 1 is fixedly connected to the carbon fiber composite frame 2, two side plates 3, a bottom plate 5, and a front plate 4 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the carbon fiber composite frame 2. At the same time, a sealing mounting bracket 6 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the carbon fiber composite frame 2 away from the front plate 4. In addition, two hinges 7 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the sealing mounting bracket 6. Door panels 8 are fixedly installed at the output ends of the two hinges 7, and the outer surfaces of the two door panels 8 are sealed together. The carbon fiber composite frame 2 assembles the main components of the carriage, the top plate 1, the front plate 4, the bottom plate 5, and the two bottom plates 5. While ensuring the stability of the main body of the carriage, it makes the carriage have the appearance of an arrow released from a bow, effectively reducing aerodynamic drag. At the same time, the outer surfaces of the two door panels 8 are sealed together. The sealing design of the door panels 8 reduces the overall wind resistance coefficient. Compared with related technologies, the lightweight streamlined drag-reducing carriage provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: thereby achieving the effect of making the carriage more streamlined, improving the aesthetics of the carriage, and reducing drag.
