It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0031] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this application. However, this application may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0032] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 Describes a passenger, freight, and mail bus 100 according to some embodiments of this application.
[0033] This application proposes a passenger-freight-mail bus 100, comprising: a vehicle body 110; a luggage compartment 120 located at the rear of the vehicle; a first door 130 located at the rear of the vehicle, the first door 130 being used to open or close the luggage compartment 120; a second door 140 located on one side of the vehicle body 110, the second door 140 being used to open or close the luggage compartment 120; a high-voltage system compartment 150 located at the bottom of the luggage compartment 120; and an electrical equipment compartment 160 located on one side of the luggage compartment 120, the luggage compartment 120 being situated between the electrical equipment compartment 160 and the second door 140.
[0034] The passenger-freight-mail bus 100 provided in this application includes a body 110, a luggage compartment 120, a first door 130, a second door 140, a high-voltage system compartment 150, and an electrical equipment compartment 160. It addresses the problem of ordinary urban and rural bus routes lacking a luggage compartment 120 or having a small luggage compartment 120, making it inconvenient and unsafe for passengers to carry large quantities of agricultural products and goods. The passenger-freight-mail bus 100 has a luggage compartment 120 at the rear of the vehicle, equipped with a first door 130 for opening or closing the luggage compartment 120, allowing passengers to place their goods inside the luggage compartment 120 without having to carry them into the passenger compartment, which is both convenient and safe.
[0035] In addition to the first cargo door 130 at the rear of the vehicle, a second cargo door 140 is also provided on one side of the vehicle body 110. The second cargo door 140 is also used to open or close the luggage compartment 120. The combination of the first cargo door 130 and the second cargo door 140 provides passengers with diversified ways to load and unload goods. Passengers can choose to load and unload goods from the rear or side of the vehicle according to the actual situation, which improves the convenience and flexibility of use.
[0036] The high-voltage system compartment 150 is located at the bottom of the luggage compartment 120, and the electrical equipment compartment 160 is located on one side of the luggage compartment 120, with the luggage compartment 120 situated between the electrical equipment compartment 160 and the second door 140. This layout maximizes system integration within a limited space, thereby freeing up more usable space for the luggage compartment 120.
[0037] The passenger-freight-mail bus 100 provided in this application makes full use of the space of the vehicle body 110. By centrally arranging and installing the high-voltage system and electrical equipment required for the normal operation of the vehicle, the position and size of the luggage compartment 120 are reasonably planned, ensuring the stable operation of the vehicle and meeting the transportation needs of passenger-freight-mail bus 100 for passenger-freight separation.
[0038] In some embodiments, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 may optionally include: a rear bumper 170; and a sheet metal structure 180 disposed between the rear bumper 170 and the luggage compartment 120. The sheet metal structure 180 includes a mounting bracket and sheet metal parts. The mounting bracket is detachably disposed at the rear of the vehicle, and the sheet metal parts are disposed on the mounting bracket.
[0039] In this embodiment, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 also includes a rear bumper 170 and a sheet metal structure 180. The rear bumper 170, as the main protective device at the rear of the vehicle, can absorb and disperse the impact force when the vehicle is involved in a minor collision, reducing the direct damage to the luggage compartment 120 and the structure of the vehicle body 110, and protecting the safety of passengers and cargo.
[0040] The sheet metal parts are detachably fixed between the rear bumper 170 and the luggage compartment 120 via mounting brackets. The sheet metal parts fit with the first door 130, and through precise dimensional design and fitting structure, the luggage compartment 120 is dustproof and sealed. This effectively prevents dust, rainwater and other external impurities from entering the luggage compartment 120, protecting the cargo from contamination and damage.
[0041] In some embodiments, the sheet metal part may optionally include a sealing groove in which a sealing strip is embedded, and when the first hatch 130 is closed, the edge of the first hatch 130 presses against the sealing groove.
[0042] In this embodiment, the sheet metal part includes a sealing groove, within which a sealing strip is embedded. The sealing groove, as a recessed structure on the sheet metal part, provides a stable mounting position for the sealing strip. After the sealing strip is embedded in the sealing groove, it forms a continuous and tight elastic barrier. When the first hatch 130 is closed, the edge of the hatch precisely presses against the sealing groove, compressing and deforming the sealing strip to fill the tiny gap between the hatch and the sheet metal part, effectively preventing dust, rainwater, and other external impurities from entering the luggage compartment 120.
[0043] The elastic properties of the sealing strip allow it to adapt to minor deformations between the hatch and the sheet metal, ensuring reliable sealing over long-term use. Even during vehicle vibrations or bumps, the sealing strip maintains a tight fit against the hatch edge, preserving the cleanliness of the luggage compartment. The sealing strip reduces direct friction between the hatch and the sheet metal, lowering the risk of wear. Simultaneously, the protective function of the sealing groove extends the sealing strip's lifespan, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.
[0044] In some embodiments, the passenger-freight-mail bus 100 may optionally include: a controller disposed within a high-voltage system compartment 150; and a radiator 192 disposed within the high-voltage system compartment 150, located to one side of the controller.
[0045] In this embodiment, the passenger-freight-mail bus 100 also includes a controller and a radiator 192. The controller is a six-in-one controller 190, and the radiator 192 is an ATS radiator. The six-in-one controller 190 integrates multiple electronic control devices into one unit, which can reduce the number of devices and wiring complexity, free up space inside the vehicle body 110 as a luggage compartment 120, and also improve the system integration.
[0046] The ATS radiator features high-efficiency heat dissipation fins and an intelligent electric fan, offering a compact design and high cooling efficiency. It fits within the limited space of a 150mm high-pressure system compartment, while minimizing the impact of heat load on other components. An integrated temperature sensor and ECU controller dynamically adjust the fan speed based on the real-time temperature of the high-pressure system, achieving on-demand cooling and preventing performance degradation or energy waste caused by overheating or overcooling.
[0047] In some embodiments, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 may optionally include an inspection cover 194 disposed on the side of the luggage compartment 120 away from the second door 140, the inspection cover 194 being used to open or close the high-pressure system compartment 150.
[0048] In this embodiment, the passenger / freight / mail bus 100 also includes an inspection cover 194. By providing the inspection cover 194, passengers / cargo are isolated from the high-voltage system compartment 150, preventing unauthorized personnel from accidentally touching high-voltage components and reducing the risk of electric shock. When the inspection cover 194 is closed, the high-voltage system compartment 150 forms a sealed environment, preventing dust and rainwater from entering and protecting the internal electronic components.
[0049] The access cover 194 is located away from the passenger loading and unloading area to avoid interfering with daily use, while also allowing maintenance personnel to quickly access the high-pressure system compartment 150 from the side of the vehicle. The access cover 194 does not occupy the interior space of the luggage compartment 120, ensuring that cargo loading is not affected.
[0050] In some embodiments, optionally, the electrical equipment compartment 160 is provided with a battery management system 162, a vehicle controller 164, a steering fluid reservoir 166, an expansion tank 167, and a split air filter 168.
[0051] In this embodiment, by integrating the battery management system 162, vehicle controller 164, steering oil tank 166, expansion tank 167, and split air filter 168 into the electrical equipment compartment 160, more space can be freed up in the luggage compartment 120, increasing cargo capacity.
[0052] Specifically, the battery management system 162 and the vehicle controller 164 are located on the upper layer of the electrical equipment compartment 160, the expansion tank 167 is located below the battery management system 162 and the vehicle controller 164, the split air filter 168 is located below the expansion tank 167, and the steering oil reservoir 166 is located on the side of the expansion tank 167 and the split air filter 168 away from the rear of the vehicle.
[0053] Optionally, a heating junction box is also installed inside the electrical equipment compartment 160. Through a reasonable distribution and arrangement, the space inside the electrical equipment compartment 160 can be maximized.
[0054] In some embodiments, the floor height of the luggage compartment 120 may optionally range from 850 mm to 900 mm.
[0055] In this embodiment, the floor height of the luggage compartment 120 ranges from 850 mm to 900 mm. This range corresponds to the range of motion from the elbow to the shoulder when a person is standing, allowing for easy loading and unloading of luggage without bending over or tiptoeing, reducing fatigue and improving the user experience.
[0056] Optionally, the floor height of the luggage compartment 120 is 880 mm, located below the waist, which greatly improves the convenience of people carrying and retrieving goods and luggage.
[0057] In some embodiments, the first hatch 130 is optionally a top-hinged door, and the second hatch 140 is a side-opening door.
[0058] In this embodiment, the first hatch 130 is an upward-opening hatch. The upward-opening hatch opens vertically without occupying lateral space, avoiding the risk of scratches. With the help of hydraulic struts, the user can open the hatch with one hand and fix it at any angle for easy handling and reduced back strain.
[0059] The second cabin door 140 is a side-opening door, allowing users to reach items inside the cabin with their arms naturally extended while standing, and to retrieve lightweight items such as backpacks and shopping bags.
[0060] Specifically, the first door 130 of the luggage compartment 120 of this model adopts a rear-hinged upward-opening door with a clear opening of 1800mm, which can meet the requirements for handling large-sized and fast-efficiency luggage. The second door 140 is a forward-opening side door with a clear opening of 950mm (height) × 650mm (width); which can meet the practical needs of quick luggage retrieval during short vehicle stops.
[0061] In some embodiments, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 may optionally include a power battery disposed at the bottom of the vehicle body 110.
[0062] In this embodiment, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 also includes a power battery. The power battery is placed under the vehicle, which frees up more vertical space inside the vehicle, making it easier to set up the luggage compartment 120, while avoiding conflicts between passenger and cargo areas caused by the space occupied by the battery pack.
[0063] The bottom-mounted battery design makes the vehicle's center of gravity more evenly distributed, reducing energy consumption caused by uneven cargo loading, while also preventing the battery pack from taking up cargo space.
[0064] Specifically, the power battery is centrally located at the bottom, and in 8-meter-long models, it can accommodate 4 or 5 power battery boxes.
[0065] In some embodiments, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 may optionally include: a charging socket 210 disposed on the side of the vehicle body 110 opposite to the second door 140; and a sealed charging door 220 hinged to one side of the vehicle body 110 and covering the charging socket 210.
[0066] In this embodiment, the passenger-cargo-mail bus 100 also includes a charging socket 210 and a sealed charging door 220. The charging socket 210 is located on the side of the vehicle body 110 opposite to the second door 140, avoiding conflict with the cargo loading and unloading area, and allowing the driver to directly operate the charging interface after parking without having to walk around the vehicle or adjust the cargo placement.
[0067] The sealed charging door 220 is hinged to one side of the vehicle body 110. The sealed door completely covers the charging socket 210, providing physical isolation when not charging, preventing rainwater, dust, and debris from entering the interface and reducing the risk of short circuits or malfunctions caused by environmental factors. It also prevents damage to the charging interface from mud splashes, improving equipment durability. This solves the charging safety and efficiency problems of passenger-freight-mail buses 100 in complex operating scenarios, improving the operational efficiency and reliability of these buses.
[0068] This application maximizes system integration within a limited space, thereby freeing up more usable space for the luggage compartment 120.
