[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-7 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.

[0035] Example 1, by Figure 1-7This utility model provides a special vehicle rear protection and rear underrun protection device, with the taillight plate welded together:

[0036] Made of aluminum alloy, it boasts advantages such as light weight and corrosion resistance. It mainly consists of an outer sealing plate 18, a taillight plate 19, and an inner sealing plate 20. The inner side of the outer sealing plate 18 is firmly welded to the taillight plate 19. The outer sealing plate 18 and inner sealing plate 20 are precisely welded to both ends of the taillight plate 19. The inner sealing plate 20 is welded to the taillight plate 19 and has rectangular holes. This structure is specifically designed to fix the combined taillight 6 and the vehicle rear marking plate 12. The combined taillight 6, installed on this structure, can clearly emit or reflect light signals to road users behind, indicating the vehicle's presence and changes in movement in real time, such as light signals during turning and braking, effectively preventing rear-end collisions. The vehicle rear marking plate 12 has a retroreflective function, significantly increasing the vehicle's visibility at night or in low-light conditions, allowing following vehicles to notice its position earlier.

[0037] Rear panel 2:

[0038] The taillight support weld 8 is a key load-bearing component of the rear protection device. Its surface has multiple mounting positions strategically arranged to securely fix the license plate 4, license plate light 5, rear fog light 17, product nameplate mounting plate 14, and hazardous materials sign mounting plate 16. The license plate 4, as a legally mandated symbol for motor vehicles on the road, must be clearly visible; its installation here ensures compliance with regulations. The license plate light 5 illuminates the license plate area at night or in low light conditions, ensuring clear visibility of the license plate information. The rear fog light 17 plays a crucial role in low-visibility weather such as fog and rain, emitting strong penetrating light to indicate the vehicle's position to the rear and reduce the risk of rear-end collisions. The product nameplate mounting plate 14 provides a mounting base for the product nameplate 13, facilitating the display of important information such as the vehicle model. The hazardous materials sign mounting plate 16 provides a dedicated mounting position for the hazardous materials sign 15, clearly indicating the vehicle's transport attributes for hazardous materials transport vehicles, ensuring road safety.

[0039] Chassis beam 3:

[0040] As an indispensable part of the vehicle frame assembly, it provides solid support for the entire rear protective structure. It bears the heavy responsibility of fixing and reinforcing the crossbeam welding 7, taillight plate support welding 8, and diagonal support plate 10, ensuring that each component remains stable when the vehicle is in motion, vibrating, or being impacted, and reasonably distributing and transmitting forces to maintain the overall structural strength of the vehicle.

[0041] License Plate 4:

[0042] Made and installed in strict accordance with the regulations for the management of motor vehicles on the road, it is a legal identification mark for vehicles to be legally driven on the road. It clearly displays the vehicle license plate information so that traffic management departments and other road users can identify the vehicle.

[0043] License plate light 5:

[0044] Employing high-brightness, low-energy-consumption lighting elements, which are installed at specific locations on the rear panel 2, the system precisely projects light onto the license plate area. In dimly lit environments, such as at night, in underground parking lots, or on cloudy days, the system automatically or manually activates to ensure the license plate information is clearly legible, meeting traffic regulations for vehicle lighting and preventing traffic violations caused by unclear license plates.

[0045] Combination taillights 6:

[0046] It integrates multiple lighting functions, such as brake lights, turn signals, and parking lights. Through carefully designed circuit connections and controls, it accurately sends corresponding light signals to road users behind based on changes in vehicle driving status, such as braking, lane changing, and normal driving. Mounted on the taillight panel weld 1, its stable structure ensures stable light position and reliable illumination, effectively preventing collisions caused by following vehicles misjudging the vehicle's status.

[0047] Strengthen the welding of the crossbeam 7:

[0048] Located inside the frame beam 3, this is a core component for enhancing rear underrun protection. It is constructed by welding a reinforcing crossbeam 30 to a crossbeam end plate 31. The ends of the reinforcing crossbeam 30 are tightly welded to the crossbeam end plate 31, forming a robust whole. The crossbeam end plate 31 is then reliably bolted to the frame beam 3. When the rear of the vehicle is impacted, especially by forces from below, this structure, with its own strength and optimized connection design, effectively disperses the impact force, preventing severe deformation of the rear of the vehicle, protecting the safety of the occupants, and reducing the extent of vehicle damage.

[0049] Taillight panel support welding 8:

[0050] The complex yet robust structure, constructed using welding technology, comprises an outer connecting plate I 21, a support tube 22, an outer connecting plate II 23, an inner connecting plate 24, and a sealing plate I 25. The outer connecting plates I 21 and II 23 are welded to corresponding positions on the support tube 22 to precisely secure the taillight panel welding 1, ensuring its firm installation and that of its associated components. The support tube 22 is welded to the inner connecting plate 24, one end of which is bolted to the frame beam 3, while the other end is used to secure the rear panel 2. This design creates an organic whole for the entire rear protective device, with each component working together to bear the load. The sealing plate I 25 is welded to both ends of the support tube 22, effectively sealing both ends to prevent dust and moisture from entering the internal structure and extending the component's lifespan.

[0051] Lower crossbeam welding 9:

[0052] As the main structural component of the rear underrun protection device, it undertakes the primary task of resisting rear-under impacts. It consists of a lower crossbeam 26, a sealing plate II 27, a lower crossbeam connecting plate 28, and a fixing plate 29. The lower crossbeam 26 is firmly welded to the fixing plate 29, forming a basic support frame. The sealing plate II 27 is welded to both ends of the lower crossbeam 26 to ensure tight internal structural protection. The lower crossbeam connecting plate 28 is welded to the fixing plate 29 and tightly connected to the inclined support plate 10 via bolts. Finally, it is connected to the frame beam 3 via the inclined support plate 10, constructing a stable rear underrun protection structure. In the event of a rear-under impact, it effectively blocks external forces and protects critical vehicle components, such as the fuel tank and spare tire, from damage.

[0053] Inclined support plate 10:

[0054] Mounted on the frame beam 3, its inclined design allows it to better bear and distribute the force from the lower crossbeam weld 9. On the one hand, it provides a stable support point for the lower crossbeam weld 9, ensuring its positional stability when subjected to an impact; on the other hand, it decomposes and transmits the impact force to the frame beam 3, avoiding excessive local stress and ensuring the overall structural safety of the vehicle.

[0055] Triangular reflector 11:

[0056] Installed on the lower crossbeam weld 9, it operates using the principle of optical reflection. Its unique triangular shape and highly reflective material can efficiently reflect light from external light sources, such as headlights from vehicles behind, at night or in low-light conditions. This clearly indicates the vehicle's presence to observers near the light source, allowing following vehicles to detect it in advance, even when the vehicle is stationary or moving, effectively preventing rear-end collisions. Its effectiveness is particularly pronounced on roads with poor visibility, such as those without streetlights or curves.

[0057] Vehicle rear identification plate 12:

[0058] Made of materials with high retroreflective properties, it is installed on the taillight panel welded together. Its surface is usually printed with specific patterns or logos, such as vehicle brand logos, warning symbols, etc. Under illumination, it can reflect light back to the direction of the light source, greatly improving the visibility of the vehicle in adverse environments such as night and fog, allowing road users behind to identify the vehicle's outline and features from a distance, thus ensuring driving safety.

[0059] Product nameplate mounting plate 14:

[0060] Located at the lower part of the rear panel 2, a standard mounting interface is designed to facilitate the installation and removal of the product nameplate 13. The product nameplate 13 carries key information such as vehicle model, manufacturer, and production date. Displayed through this mounting plate, it facilitates quick access to information during vehicle maintenance, repair, and quality traceability.

[0061] Dangerous Goods Sign Mounting Plate 16:

[0062] Also located on the lower part of the rear panel 2, a dedicated mounting position is provided for the hazard identification sign 15. For special vehicles transporting flammable, explosive, toxic, or hazardous materials, regulations require that the hazard identification sign 15 be prominently installed. This mounting plate ensures that the sign is securely installed and in the correct location, clearly warning other road users of the dangers of the goods being transported by the vehicle, prompting them to maintain a safe distance and avoid potential hazards.

[0063] Rear fog light 17:

[0064] Fog light bulbs with strong penetrating power and standard color are selected and installed in a specific position on the lower part of the rear panel 2. When turned on in low visibility weather conditions such as fog, haze, and heavy rain, the strong light emitted can penetrate fog and raindrops and travel a long distance to the rear, allowing following vehicles to clearly see the position of this vehicle and take measures such as braking and avoidance in advance, effectively reducing the risk of rear-end collisions and ensuring the safety of multiple vehicles.

[0065] Working principle: When using this utility model, firstly, the frame beam 3 is installed as a basic support component in the corresponding position of the vehicle chassis, ensuring a firm connection and that the bolt tightening torque meets the specified standard, so that the frame beam 3 can stably bear the weight and force of the subsequent components; then, the reinforcing crossbeam weld 7 is tightly fixed to the designated position inside the frame beam 3 with bolts through the crossbeam sealing plate 31, and the welding parts are checked for defects to ensure that it can effectively enhance the rear underbody protection capability;

[0066] Install the taillight panel support welding 8, and precisely fix one end of the inner connecting plate 24 to the frame beam 3 with bolts to ensure that the installation angle and level meet the requirements. Then, weld the outer connecting plate I 21, the support tube 22, the outer connecting plate II 23 and the sealing plate I 25 in sequence to complete the main structure assembly of the taillight panel support welding 8, providing a stable foundation for the subsequent component installation.

[0067] Install the taillight panel welding 1 on the taillight panel support welding 8, align the rectangular hole of the inner sealing plate 20 with the connection part of the taillight panel support welding 8, ensure tight installation and firm welding parts, and ensure that the taillight 6 and the vehicle rear marking plate 12 are stable and reliable after assembly.

[0068] Install the rear panel 2 onto the taillight plate support welding 8. According to the design layout, fix the license plate 4, license plate light 5, rear fog light 17, product nameplate mounting plate 14, and dangerous goods sign mounting plate 16 in sequence. Tighten the mounting screws of each component, ensure the wiring is correct, and ensure normal function.

[0069] To install the lower crossbeam welding 9, first weld the lower crossbeam 26 to the fixing plate 29 as one piece, install the sealing plate II 27 to seal both ends, then weld the lower crossbeam connecting plate 28 to the fixing plate 29, and finally connect the lower crossbeam connecting plate 28 to the inclined support plate 10 with bolts. The other end of the inclined support plate 10 is fixed to the frame beam 3. After completion, the lower protection main structure is built. Check the strength of each connection part to ensure that it can withstand the impact from the rear.

[0070] After installation, a comprehensive inspection of the entire protective device is carried out, including the installation firmness of each component, welding quality, and functional testing of lighting and electrical components. Only after ensuring that everything is in good working order can the vehicle be driven on it.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
