Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicles, and more particularly to an all-terrain vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles capable of traveling on all terrains, featuring a high chassis, suspension with superior shock absorption, tires with good traction, and powerful engines. Compared to ordinary vehicles, ATVs can operate in extremely harsh environments, including but not limited to beaches, mountains, forests, and swamps, and are widely used in farms and recreational facilities.

[0003] With the widespread use of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in various scenarios, there is a significant demand for their auxiliary functions, such as enhanced passenger and cargo carrying capacity. While some ATVs have bumpers, these typically only provide protection and lack other functions, resulting in relatively limited functionality. Therefore, how to improve the functionality of ATVs through bumper innovation is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, this application provides an all-terrain vehicle whose bumper can not only provide protection for the all-terrain vehicle, but also enable it to carry people and cargo to a certain extent, thus providing richer functionality.

[0010] Alternatively, when the locking element locks the bumper body to the fixing part and the bumper is in a load-bearing state, the bumper body is basically located below the second reference surface, and the angle between the first reference surface and the second reference surface ranges from 0° to 35°.

[0011] In one embodiment, when the locking member locks the bumper body and the fixing part and the bumper is in a load-bearing state, the bumper body is basically located above the second reference surface, and the angle between the first reference surface and the second reference surface is in the range of 3° to 35°.

[0012] Alternatively, when the locking element locks the bumper body to the fixing part and the bumper is in a load-bearing state, the bumper body is basically located below the second reference surface, and the angle between the first reference surface and the second reference surface ranges from 2° to 30°.

[0013] In one embodiment, when the locking member locks the bumper body and the fixing part and the bumper is in a load-bearing state, the bumper body is basically located above the second reference surface, and the angle between the first reference surface and the second reference surface ranges from 6° to 30°.

[0014] Alternatively, when the locking element locks the bumper body to the fixing part and the bumper is in a load-bearing state, the bumper body is basically located below the second reference surface, and the angle between the first reference surface and the second reference surface ranges from 4° to 26°.

[0015] In one embodiment, the seat assembly includes a seat cushion, and the bumper body is provided with a mounting structure, wherein the seat cushion is detachably connected to the bumper body through the mounting structure.

[0016] In one embodiment, the seat assembly includes a seat cushion configured to be detachably connected to the bumper body; in a horizontal plane, the orthographic projection of the seat cushion protrudes forward in a front-rear direction relative to the orthographic projection of the bumper body.

[0017] In one embodiment, the seat assembly includes a seat cushion configured to be detachably connected to the bumper body; in a horizontal plane, the orthographic projection of the bumper body protrudes to the left and / or right relative to the orthographic projection of the seat cushion in a left-right direction.

[0018] In one embodiment, the bumper body includes a flip-up connecting piece and a fixing part includes a fixing connecting piece; the flip-up connecting piece is connected to the fixing connecting piece, and the position of the flip-up connecting piece relative to the fixing connecting piece is adjustable; one of the flip-up connecting piece and the fixing connecting piece is provided with a plurality of locking holes, the plurality of locking holes being arranged around the rotation center line of the bumper body, and the other of the flip-up connecting piece and the fixing connecting piece is connected to a locking member, the locking member being detachably connected to any of the locking holes.

[0019] In one embodiment, the bumper includes a load-bearing state in which the bumper body extends outward relative to the front of the all-terrain vehicle, and a protective state in which the bumper body is vertically positioned relative to the front of the all-terrain vehicle; the bumper body includes a center portion and a side portion, the side portion being disposed to the side of the center portion in a left-right direction, and the side portion being folded relative to the center portion; when the bumper is in the load-bearing state, the side portion is tilted upward relative to the center portion, and when the bumper is in the protective state, the side portion is tilted backward relative to the center portion.

[0020] In one embodiment, the bumper body includes a frame connected end to end, multiple support rods arranged and fixed to the frame in the left-right direction, and multiple connecting rods arranged in the front-back direction and fixed in the frame and supported by the support rods; the connecting rods include a middle section, and left and right sections located on both sides of the middle section in the left-right direction, and the left and right sections are bent or curved relative to the middle section.

[0021] The all-terrain vehicle provided in this application includes a bumper with a tilting function that can be locked after tilting. The fixed part of the bumper can be connected to the vehicle frame, ensuring a stable installation. The bumper body is connected to the vehicle frame via the fixed part, allowing the bumper body and the vehicle frame to function as a single load-bearing unit, supporting people or objects based on the support provided by the vehicle frame. The bumper body is rotatably connected to the fixed part, allowing the bumper body to rotate relative to the fixed part (or relative to the vehicle frame), thus changing the position and spatial configuration of the bumper body relative to the vehicle frame to accommodate different application scenarios. Simultaneously, a locking element is located at the connection between the bumper body and the fixed part and connects to both. By adjusting the locking element, the bumper body and the fixed part can be locked, ensuring the bumper body can stably support people or objects; alternatively, by adjusting the locking element, the bumper body can be released from the fixed part, allowing the bumper body to rotate to a suitable position relative to the fixed part.

Furthermore, unless explicitly defined herein, terms such as those defined in a general dictionary should be interpreted as having the same meaning as they have in the relevant technology and in the content of this application, and should not be interpreted as having an idealized or overly formal meaning.

[0033] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, illustrates exemplary embodiments. It should be noted that components depicted in the drawings are not necessarily shown to scale; and identical or similar components will be designated with the same or similar reference numerals or similar technical terms.

[0034] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, an “all-terrain vehicle” refers to a light vehicle designed specifically for driving on a variety of terrains, typically having four wheels, high ground clearance, and wide tires to adapt to different road conditions.

[0035] Those skilled in the art will understand that the "frame" is a key component and main load-bearing component of an all-terrain vehicle, playing a vital role in the reliability and service life of the entire vehicle. The vehicle's handling stability, driving safety, and ride comfort are also inseparable from the structure and performance of the frame.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that "body panels" refer to various components covering the vehicle frame, which not only protect the frame and internal components but also significantly influence the vehicle's appearance and aerodynamic performance. Body panels include, but are not limited to, bumpers (installed at the front and rear of the vehicle to absorb collision energy and protect the vehicle and passengers), running boards (components for the driver and passengers to step on when getting in and out of the vehicle, usually located below the doors), mudguards (installed above the wheels to block mud, water, and other splashes, protecting the vehicle body and pedestrians), front and rear body panels (large components covering the front and rear of the frame, forming the main body of the vehicle's shape, typically including the hood, trunk lid, etc.), and stamped parts (components manufactured through stamping processes, such as instrument panels, fuel tanks, etc.).

[0037] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, a “mobility system” refers to the collection of components and technologies on an all-terrain vehicle for moving and adapting to different terrains.

[0038] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, "power system" refers to a collection of components and technologies that provide power to an all-terrain vehicle and enable it to travel on a variety of complex terrains.

[0039] The specific embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides an all-terrain vehicle 100, including a frame 20, a body panel 40, a running system 50, a power system 60, a seat assembly 30, and a bumper 10. The body panel 40 at least partially covers the frame 20; the running system 50 is connected to the frame 20 and at least partially located below the frame 20; the power system 60 is supported by the frame 20 and is used to drive the running system 50; the seat assembly 30 is supported by the frame 20; and the bumper 10 is at least partially connected to the frame 20. The bumper 10 includes a load-bearing state and a protective state. In the protective state, the bumper 10 provides protection for the all-terrain vehicle 100, while in the load-bearing state, the bumper 10 can be used to carry people or goods.

[0041] For ease of understanding, this application defines the directions of front, rear, left, right, up, and down. The front-rear direction refers to the length of the frame 20 of the all-terrain vehicle 100, the left-right direction refers to the width of the frame 20, and the up-down direction refers to the height of the frame 20. In this embodiment, the directions of front, rear, left, right, up, and down are based on the state of the all-terrain vehicle 100 traveling on a level surface, not on a sloping surface.

[0042] In one embodiment, the bumper 10 is typically located at the front or rear of the all-terrain vehicle 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The example shown is of a bumper 10 located at the front of an all-terrain vehicle 100. In other embodiments, the bumper 10 may also be located at the rear or side of the all-terrain vehicle 100. Those skilled in the art will understand that this is certainly possible, and will not be elaborated here.

[0043] In one embodiment, the bumper 10 has a load-bearing state and a protective state. When the bumper 10 is in the load-bearing state, it can support objects carried on the upper side of the bumper 10. When the bumper 10 is in the protective state, it covers the front side of the all-terrain vehicle 100 to protect the front of the vehicle.

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 This image shows the posture of the all-terrain vehicle 100 when the bumper 10 is in its protective state. In this state, the bumper 10 provides a large protective area, offering good protection for the all-terrain vehicle 100. Specifically, in its protective state, the bumper 10 is located on the outermost side of the all-terrain vehicle 100 relative to the frame 20, body panels 40 (such as the hood), or other exposed components (such as lights and radar). When the all-terrain vehicle 100 faces a collision risk, the bumper 10 can collide with external objects before other components, thus achieving protection.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 2 This is a display of the posture of the all-terrain vehicle 100 when the bumper 10 is in a load-bearing state. At this time, the bumper 10 is flipped so that it has a certain positive projection area in the horizontal plane (for example, the bumper 10 is flipped to a horizontal position) for load-bearing purposes; that is, the bumper 10 in the load-bearing state can have a large load-bearing area, so that the all-terrain vehicle 100 can carry people or goods.

[0046] Further integration Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bumper 10 includes a bumper body 12, a fixing part 11, and a locking member 13. The fixing part 11 is connected to the vehicle frame 20, the bumper body 12 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 11, and the locking member 13 is used to restrict the bumper 10 from rotating relative to the vehicle frame 20 when the bumper 10 is in either the protective state or the load-bearing state.

[0047] Furthermore, the fixing part 11 of the bumper 10 can be connected to the vehicle frame 20 to make the bumper 10 securely installed; the bumper body 12 is connected to the vehicle frame 20 through the fixing part 11, so that the bumper body 12 and the vehicle frame 20 can be a whole for bearing load, and can bear the load of people or objects based on the support provided by the vehicle frame 20. The bumper body 12 is rotatably connected to the fixing part 11. The bumper body 12 can rotate relative to the fixing part 11 (or can be understood as relative to the vehicle frame 20), so that the position and spatial configuration of the bumper body 12 relative to the vehicle frame 20 can be changed to adapt to different application scenarios of the all-terrain vehicle 100. At the same time, the locking member 13 is provided at the connection between the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 and is connected to both. By adjusting the locking member 13, the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 can be locked, so that the bumper body 12 can stably support people or objects. Alternatively, by adjusting the locking member 13, the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 can be released, so that the bumper body 12 can rotate to a suitable position relative to the fixing part 11.

[0048] In one embodiment, the fixing part 11 includes a connecting plate 111, an inner rod 112, and an outer rod 113. The inner rod 112 extends through the vehicle body panel 40 into the interior of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The connecting plate 111 has multiple mounting positions, and the inner rod 112 and / or the connecting plate 111 can be connected to the vehicle frame 20 for fixing. The outer rod 113 is connected to the inner rod 112 and is used to connect to the bumper body 12. In this embodiment, the fixing connecting piece 115 and the rotating recess 114 are both provided on the outer rod 113.

[0049] In one embodiment, the bumper body 12 includes a frame 121 connected end to end, multiple support rods 122 arranged in the left-right direction and fixed to the frame 121, and multiple connecting rods 123 arranged in the front-back direction and fixed inside the frame 121 and supported by the support rods 122. The connecting rods 123 include a middle section 1231, and a left section 1232 and a right section 1233 located on both sides of the middle section 1231 in the left-right direction. The left section 1232 and the right section 1233 are both bent or curved relative to the middle section 1231.

[0050] Understandably, the frame 121 enables the bumper body 12 to have a relatively complete structure, which can meet the functions of protection and load-bearing without causing damage due to sharp protruding edges; multiple support rods 122 and connecting rods 123 can improve the overall support strength of the bumper body 12. The front ends (or upper ends) of the connecting rods 123 and support rods 122 can be constructed to be slightly upturned, forming a net-like shape, which can prevent falling and improve load-bearing stability.

[0051] In one embodiment, the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 are rotatably connected via a pivot structure. The locking member 13 is illustrated as a bolt that can be detachably connected to both the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11. Removing the locking member 13 releases the lock on the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11, allowing the bumper body 12 to rotate relative to the fixing part 11 based on the pivot structure. When the bumper body 12 rotates to the appropriate position, the locking member 13 is then inserted into the connection between the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 and locked. The bumper body 12 can no longer be flipped relative to the fixing part 11, and it provides good support.

[0052] In this embodiment, the bumper body 12 includes a rotating protrusion 124, which is located at the rear end of the bumper body 12 near the fixing part 11. The fixing part 11 includes a rotating recess 114, which is located at the front end of the fixing part 11 near the bumper body 12. The rotating protrusion 124 is convex, and the rotating recess 114 is concave. The rotating protrusion 124 extends into the rotating recess 114 and rotates therewith; that is, the rotating protrusion 124 and the rotating recess 114 cooperate to form a pivot structure, and the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 are rotatably connected through the rotating protrusion 124 and the rotating recess 114.

[0053] It is understandable that the rotating protrusion 124 and the rotating recess 114 can be rotated in a manner including but not limited to being connected by a pivot pin (not shown in the figure), or by a protrusion (not shown in the figure, located on the left and right outer sides of the rotating protrusion 124) and a recess (not shown in the figure, located on the left and right inner sides of the rotating recess 114). Those skilled in the art will understand that this is certainly possible, and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] In one embodiment, the bumper body 12 includes a flip-up connecting piece 125, and the fixing part 11 includes a fixing connecting piece 115; the flip-up connecting piece 125 is connected to the fixing connecting piece 115, and the position of the flip-up connecting piece 125 relative to the fixing connecting piece 115 is adjustable.

[0055] In this embodiment, one of the flip connecting piece 125 and the fixed connecting piece 115 is provided with a plurality of locking holes 1251. The plurality of locking holes 1251 are arranged around the rotation center line of the bumper body 12. The other of the flip connecting piece 125 and the fixed connecting piece 115 is connected to the locking member 13. The locking member 13 can be detachably connected to any of the locking holes 1251.

[0056] Understandably, the flip connecting piece 125 and the fixed connecting piece 115 can be relatively movable to adjust the connection length between the bumper body 12 and the fixed part 11, thereby adjusting the flip angle of the bumper body 12 relative to the fixed part 11. By directly mounting the locking member 13 on one of the bumper body 12 and the fixed part 11, and opening multiple locking holes 1251 on the other side that correspond to the locking member 13, quick disassembly and connection of the bumper body 12 and the fixed part 11 can be achieved, facilitating operation.

[0057] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the flip-connecting piece 125 is configured to be arc-shaped.

[0058] In this embodiment, the flip connecting piece 125 extends upward toward the bumper body 12, and the fixing connecting piece 115 extends upward toward the fixing part 11. In other embodiments, the flip connecting piece 125 may also extend downward toward the bumper body 12, and the fixing connecting piece 115 may also extend downward toward the fixing part 11; alternatively, the flip connecting piece 125 may extend both upward and downward toward the bumper body 12, and the fixing connecting piece 115 may also extend both upward and downward toward the fixing part 11.

[0059] Understandably, the flip-up connecting piece 125 is an arc-shaped ring that rotates in roughly the same direction as the bumper body 12, and can extend upwards and / or downwards to meet the needs of the bumper body 12 to flip upwards and / or downwards. The fixed connecting piece 115 can extend upwards or downwards and is located behind the bumper body 12 to cooperate with the flip-up connecting piece 125; at the same time, the fixed connecting piece 115 and the flip-up connecting piece 125 are stacked in the left-right direction, so that the flip-up connecting piece 125 and the fixed connecting piece 115 can partially overlap during rotation, so that the locking member 13 connects the flip-up connecting piece 125 and the fixed connecting piece 115 and locks them.

[0060] In this embodiment, the flip-up connecting piece 125 has multiple locking holes 1251, which are spaced apart along the rotation direction of the bumper body 12; the fixed connecting piece 115 has at least one matching hole 1151, and the multiple locking holes 1251 can selectively correspond to at least one matching hole 1151. The locking member 13 can be a detachably connected bolt, which passes through both the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 to lock the flip-up connecting piece 125 and the fixed connecting piece 115.

[0061] Understandably, the bumper body 12 rotates relative to the fixed part 11, and by selecting the locking hole 1251 corresponding to the matching hole 1151, the bumper body 12 can have different flip angles relative to the fixed part 11.

[0062] In other embodiments, the locking member 13 may also be a pivot pin (not shown) that can be manually adjusted for tightness. The pivot pin can be used to directly lock or release the rotating protrusion 124 and the rotating recess 114, and control the rotating protrusion 124 and the rotating recess 114 to switch between a rotatable state and a non-rotatable state. Those skilled in the art will understand that this is certainly achievable.

[0063] In other embodiments, the locking member 13 may also be a sliding limit buckle (not shown). One part of the locking member 13 is disposed on the bumper body 12 and the other part is disposed on the fixing part 11. The bumper body 12 rotates relative to the fixing part 11 and drives the two parts of the locking member 13 to move relative to each other. At the same time, based on the adjustable positions on the locking member 13 (e.g., multiple interlocking teeth), the rotation is achieved step by step. Those skilled in the art will understand that this is certainly achievable.

[0064] In other embodiments, the locking member 13 can also be a self-limiting locking structure (not shown). For example, the locking member 13 is a supportable structure directly connected to the bumper body 12 and / or the fixing part 11, or it can be formed by an existing structure on the bumper body 12 or the fixing part 11. It is understood that during the rotation of the bumper body 12 relative to the fixing part 11, there is at least one rotation angle, causing the bumper body 12 and the fixing part 11 to abut against each other through the locking member 13, or causing the bumper body 12 to directly abut against the area on the fixing part 11 corresponding to the locking member 13, achieving locking through a flip-limiting mechanism. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown, when the bumper body 12 rotates to a roughly horizontal position, the rear end of the bumper body 12 near the fixing part 11 directly abuts against the front end of the fixing part 11 near the bumper body 12, preventing the bumper body 12 from continuing to flip downwards, thus limiting the downward flipping direction. Similarly, when the corresponding bumper body 12 rotates to a vertical position, a protrusion (not shown) extending upwards and located on the rear side of the bumper body 12 can also be provided on the fixing part 11 to limit the backward flipping of the bumper body 12. Those skilled in the art will understand that this is certainly achievable, and will not be elaborated here.

[0065] Further integration Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram showing the bumper body 12 flipped relative to the fixed part 11 to a roughly horizontal state (corresponding to a load-bearing state). Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram showing the bumper body 12 flipped relative to the fixed part 11 to a roughly vertical state (corresponding to a protective state).

[0066] Understandable. Figure 5 The example shown is of the bumper body 12 being flipped to a roughly horizontal position, but it is not limited to the bumper body 12 only being flipped to such a position. Figure 5 With a horizontal posture, the bumper body 12 can tilt up or down relative to the horizontal surface.

[0067] In one embodiment, the point furthest from the rotation center line of the bumper body 12 is defined as the farthest point 127; the plane passing through the farthest point 127 and the rotation center line of the bumper body 12 is defined as the first reference plane P1; and the horizontal plane passing through the rotation center line of the bumper body 12 is defined as the second reference plane P2. It is understood that... Figure 5 Taking the bumper body 12 flipped to a roughly horizontal position as an example, the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 are approximately parallel or coincident at this point. For easier demonstration, please refer to further details. Figure 6 As shown.

[0068] It is worth noting that, when viewing the bumper 10 along the width direction of the frame 20, the point furthest from the rotation center line of the bumper 10 can be a point, a line, or a surface. If it is a line or a surface, the furthest point 127 can be any point on the line or surface. In one embodiment, the furthest point 127 is formed by the arcuate surface of the rod structure of the bumper body 12. Furthermore, the bumper body 12 is the main frame of the entire bumper 10. If the bumper 10 also has additional structures or integrally formed extension structures, such as force-applying rods or decorative panels, these components are not part of the bumper body 12 and cannot be considered the furthest point 127 of the bumper body 12 from its rotation center line.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the bumper body 12 is locked relative to the fixed part 11 and the bumper 10 is in a load-bearing state, the bumper body 12 is substantially above the second reference surface P2. This can be understood as the first reference surface P1 being upwardly curved relative to the second reference surface P2. This could mean that most of the bumper body 12 is above the second reference surface P2 and a small portion is below it, or the entire bumper body 12 is above the second reference surface P2. Conversely, if the bumper body 12 is substantially below the second reference surface P2, this can be understood as the first reference surface P1 being downwardly curved relative to the second reference surface P2. This could mean that most of the bumper body 12 is below the second reference surface P2 and a small portion is above it, or the entire bumper body 12 is below it.

[0070] In one embodiment, when the bumper body 12 is locked relative to the fixed part 11 and the bumper 10 is in a load-bearing state, the angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 ranges from 0° to 41°.

[0071] In one specific embodiment, the angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 can range from 0° to 41°.

[0072] Furthermore, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 can range from 3° to 35°.

[0073] Furthermore, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 6° to 30°.

[0074] Furthermore, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 9° to 25°.

[0075] Furthermore, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 12° to 20°.

[0076] Specifically, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 can be 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°, 15°, 16°, 17°, 18°, 19°, 20°, 21°, 22°, 23°, 24°, 25°, 26°, 27°, 28°, 29°, 30°, 31°, 32°, 33°, 34°, 35°, 36°, 37°, 38°, 39°, 40°, or 41°.

[0077] In another specific embodiment, the downward angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 can be in the range of 0° to 35°.

[0078] Furthermore, the downward angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 2° to 30°.

[0079] Furthermore, the downward tilt of the first reference plane P1 relative to the second reference plane P2 ranges from 4° to 26°.

[0080] Furthermore, the downward angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 6° to 22°.

[0081] Furthermore, the downward angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 8° to 18°.

[0082] Specifically, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 can be 0°, 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 6°, 7°, 8°, 9°, 10°, 11°, 12°, 13°, 14°, 15°, 16°, 17°, 18°, 19°, 20°, 21°, 22°, 23°, 24°, 25°, 26°, 27°, 28°, 29°, 30°, 31°, 32°, 33°, 34°, or 35°.

[0083] Understandably, when the angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 is 0°, the bumper body 12 is approximately in the following position: Figure 5 The bumper body 12 is positioned in a horizontal position as shown. At this time, the bumper body 12 is relatively flat, which makes it comfortable to ride when carrying passengers and stable when carrying cargo, preventing it from tilting or slipping. In other words, it has good performance whether carrying passengers or cargo.

[0084] Understandably, when the first reference surface P1 is tilted upwards relative to the second reference surface P2, there is an acute angle between the bumper body 12 and the front of the all-terrain vehicle 100, thus forming a "V"-shaped storage space, making it less likely for objects placed in this storage space to fall out. Furthermore, when the storage space carries a large number and / or heavy items, the weight of the items themselves compresses the bumper 10 and the front area of ​​the all-terrain vehicle 100, allowing the carried items to be clamped within the storage space. Simultaneously, after clamping, there is also a certain limiting effect in the lateral direction, resulting in a better cargo-carrying effect. Similarly, when the storage space is used for carrying passengers, its semi-enclosed structure also provides a good anti-fall effect and is suitable for carrying passengers. Those skilled in the art will understand that an angle between the bumper body 12 and the horizontal surface, ranging from 0° to 41°, can provide both a good cargo-carrying effect and a comfortable passenger-carrying experience.

[0085] Understandably, when the first reference surface P1 is tilted downwards relative to the second reference surface P2, there is an obtuse angle between the bumper body 12 and the front of the all-terrain vehicle 100. This provides a larger angle for the user to lean against the bumper body 12, making the ride more comfortable. Simultaneously, the downward tilt of the bumper body 12 creates more space between it and the front of the all-terrain vehicle 100, resulting in better cargo capacity when larger or specifically shaped objects need to be placed. Those skilled in the art will understand that an angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 ranging from 0° to 35° provides both a comfortable passenger experience and good cargo capacity.

[0086] It should be explained that when the bumper body 12 is tilted upwards or downwards, the rotation process of the bumper body 12 can be adjusted stepwise or steplessly, and the locking of the locking component 13 can also be adjusted stepwise or steplessly. For example, stepless adjustment can be achieved through a pin shaft in conjunction with an adjustable fastening bolt, and stepwise adjustment can be achieved through a toothed / gear or a movable buckle. Those skilled in the art will understand that this is certainly achievable, and will not be elaborated here.

[0087] Understandable. Figure 6 The example shown is of the bumper body 12 being flipped to a roughly vertical position, but it is not limited to the bumper body 12 only being flipped to such a position. Figure 6 Its vertical posture.

[0088] In one embodiment, when the bumper body 12 is locked relative to the fixed part 11 and the bumper 10 is in a protected state, the angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 ranges from 69° to 90°.

[0089] In one specific embodiment, when in a protected state, the angle between the first reference surface P1 and the second reference surface P2 can be between 73° and 87°.

[0090] Furthermore, when in a protected state, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 79° to 85°.

[0091] Furthermore, when in a protected state, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 ranges from 81° to 83°.

[0092] Specifically, when in the protected state, the angle between the first reference plane P1 and the second reference plane P2 can be 69°, 70°, 71°, 72°, 73°, 74°, 75°, 76°, 77°, 78°, 79°, 80°, 81°, 82°, 83°, 84°, 85°, 86°, 87°, 88°, 89°, or 90°.

[0093] Further integration Figures 7 to 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the seat assembly 30 includes a seat cushion 31. The seat cushion 31 may be detachably mounted relative to the frame 20, for example, as a seat cushion for the front passenger seat; the seat cushion 31 may also be mounted separately and not constructed to be connected to the frame 20, that is, the seat cushion 31 may be stored as a separate spare unit.

[0094] Further integration Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the bumper body 12 is provided with a mounting structure 126, and the seat cushion 31 is detachably connected to the bumper body 12 through the mounting structure 126; the mounting structure 126 is protruding or snap-fit.

[0095] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 126 includes a front mounting point 1261, a rear mounting point 1262, a first lower mounting point 1263, and a second lower mounting point 1264. The front mounting point 1261 can be a snap-fit ​​type, used to engage with a protrusion on the seat cushion 31; the rear mounting point 1262 can be a protrusion type, used to engage with a groove on the seat cushion 31 to achieve engagement; the first lower mounting point 1263 can be a cushioning pad, used to abut against the lower side of the seat cushion 31 and provide cushioning; the second lower mounting point 1264 can be a side sliding groove, used to engage with a lower protrusion or bolt on the seat cushion 31 for connection.

[0096] Understandably, the two front mounting points 1261 can be spaced apart at the front end of the frame 121 in the left-right direction, the rear mounting point 1262 can be spaced apart at the rear end of the frame 121 in the left-right direction, the two first lower mounting points 1263 can be spaced apart on one support rod 122 in the front-back direction, and the two second lower mounting points 1264 can be spaced apart on another support rod 122 in the front-back direction. By setting multiple mounting structures 126, a detachable connection between the seat cushion 31 and the bumper body 12 can be achieved, while also meeting the requirements for efficient, stable, and comfortable installation of the seat cushion 31.

[0097] Further integration Figure 8 As shown, the seat cushion 31 can be the passenger seat cushion 31 or the driver seat cushion 31 of the all-terrain vehicle 100, or other soft-pack or flat structures. The upper surface of the seat cushion 31 can be provided with flexible padding (such as sponge) for a more comfortable riding experience; the lower surface of the seat cushion 31 can be provided with various connecting structures (not shown in the figure). After the connecting structure is completed, it can cooperate with the mounting structure 126 to make the seat cushion 31 snap onto the bumper body 12. At the same time, the connecting structure can also connect the seat cushion 31 to the frame 20.

[0098] Further integration Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the bumper body 12 includes a center portion 1201 and a side portion 1202. The side portion 1202 is disposed to the side of the center portion 1201 in the left-right direction, and the side portion 1202 is folded relative to the center portion 1201. When the bumper 10 is in a load-bearing state, the side portion 1202 is tilted upward relative to the center portion 1201, and when the bumper 10 is in a protective state, the side portion 1202 is tilted backward relative to the center portion 1201.

[0099] Understandably, the center section 1201 and the side section 1202 can be divided based on the spatial shape of the bumper body 12. The center section 1201 and the side section 1202 can be integrated or separate. The center section 1201 is constructed to be relatively flat, making it more stable and comfortable to carry people or goods. The side section 1202 can extend from the left side, right side, or front side of the center section 1201, or a combination of the above extension methods. The side section 1202 and the center section 1201 have an appropriate angle to prevent falling and improve load-bearing stability.

[0100] In one embodiment, in a horizontal plane, the orthographic projection of the seat cushion 31 protrudes forward in the front-to-back direction relative to the orthographic projection of the bumper body 12.

[0101] Understandably, the seat cushion 31 is roughly located in the middle area of ​​the bumper body 12 (or can be understood as the middle part 1201). The front end of the seat cushion 31 protrudes relative to the bumper body 12 to provide better support for the legs of the person in a sitting posture, making the ride more comfortable.

[0102] In this embodiment, the shape of the seat cushion 31 is approximately the same as that of the center portion 1201. In other embodiments, the seat cushion 31 may also be of other shapes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0103] In one embodiment, in a horizontal plane, the orthographic projection of the bumper body 12 protrudes to the left and / or right relative to the orthographic projection of the seat cushion 31 in the left-right direction.

[0104] Understandably, the left and right sides (or side sections 1202) of the bumper body 12 can extend relative to the seat cushion 31, and the extended parts can be used as armrests to further improve riding comfort and safety. Furthermore, the support rods 122, connecting rods 123, and frame 121 exposed on the bumper body 12 relative to the seat cushion 31 can serve as load-bearing structures for placing or hooking items, further expanding the usage scenarios and enriching the application scenarios of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0105] The specific embodiments of this application have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes and substitutions can be made to the specific embodiments of this application without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. All such changes and substitutions fall within the scope defined by this application.
