Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and more specifically to a protective cover for off-road vehicle lights. Background Technology

[0002] Off-road vehicles are vehicles specifically designed for driving on unpaved roads, in complex terrain, or in harsh environments. These vehicles typically possess strong passability, durability, and adaptability, enabling them to navigate conditions that ordinary vehicles struggle with, such as deserts, mud, snowfields, and rocky terrain. The headlight housings of off-road vehicles are mostly made of cast aluminum or engineering plastics. To prevent dents or cracks from impacts with external objects during driving, some off-road vehicles are equipped with optional protective covers for their headlights.

[0003] There is a type of protective cover for off-road vehicles, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a main rib, a transverse rib, and two vertical ribs. The main rib is a closed ring with arched ends. The vertical ribs are straight rods, and the transverse ribs are arched. However, when an off-road vehicle passes through a jungle, the dense branches may come into contact with the vehicle's protective cover. At this time, because the vertical ribs are straight, it is not easy to guide the branches to deflect vertically or vertically along the length of the main rib and reduce the resistance when passing through. The branches are only easily guided by a guiding force when they come into contact with the arched section of the transverse rib, causing the branches to deflect horizontally or left-right along the width of the main rib. There is room for optimization.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need for a protective cover for off-road vehicle lights that prevents branches from easily deflecting when encountering tree obstacles. Utility Model Content

[0029] Indicative protective cover for off-road vehicle lights, reference Figures 1 to 8 According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a protective cover for off-road vehicle lights includes a cover body 10 and a protective rib assembly 20.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer cover body 10 is composed of a main rib having two curved ends 101, two side sections 102, and a heightening part 103. The heightening part 103 is located between the two side sections 102, and both ends of the heightening part 103 are respectively connected to the two side sections 102. One end of each side section 102 facing away from the heightening part 103 is fixedly connected to the curved end 101. The curved end 101 and the heightening part 103 are respectively located at both ends of the outer cover body 10, and the side sections 102 are located on both sides of the outer cover body 10.

[0031] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the protective rib assembly 20 includes a plurality of horizontal protective ribs 201 and a plurality of vertical protective ribs 202. The horizontal protective ribs 201 are located between the curved end 101 and the heightening part 103, and both ends of the horizontal protective ribs 201 are respectively connected to the two side segments 102. The vertical protective ribs 202 are located between the two side segments 102, and both ends of the vertical protective ribs 202 are respectively connected to the heightening part 103 and a corresponding curved end 101. In the height direction of the outer cover body 10, the height dimensions of the curved end 101, the horizontal protective ribs 201 and the heightening part 103 gradually increase, and the angle between the vertical protective ribs 202 and the curved end 101 is an acute angle. Each horizontal protective rib 201 is in the shape of an arch bridge.

[0032] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4 The outer cover body 10 has an L-shaped vertical cross-section when viewed from the side, as shown in reference. Figure 5The outer cover body 10 has an inverted U-shaped cross-section when viewed from above. Additionally, the heightening portion 103 is U-shaped and arranged perpendicularly to the side section 102. Furthermore, by gradually increasing the height of the curved end 101, the transverse protective rib 201, and the heightening portion 103, the vertical protective rib 202 forms an inclined curved shape. When a tree branch comes into contact with the vertical protective rib 202, it easily deflects along the curved surface of the vertical protective rib 202, reducing resistance during passage. Furthermore, by making the transverse protective rib 201 arched, when a tree branch deflects to both ends of the transverse protective rib 201, it easily deflects along the curved surface of the transverse protective rib 201. Compared to the prior art, this application has the advantage of facilitating branch deflection when encountering tree obstacles.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the vertical protective rib 202 is located above the horizontal protective rib 201.

[0034] However, when the vertical protective rib 202 collides with an external object, although both ends of the vertical protective rib 202 are connected to the curved end 101 and the raised part 103 respectively, since the cross-section of the vertical protective rib 202 and the horizontal protective rib 201 are both circular, the vertical protective rib 202 is prone to slight left and right movement along the horizontal protective rib 201 after being subjected to force. Moreover, the force is applied to the curved end 101 and the raised part 103. In order to provide connection strength and avoid the vertical protective rib 202 from moving significantly after being subjected to force, the intersection of the horizontal protective rib 201 and the vertical protective rib 202 is welded.

[0035] Furthermore, to facilitate welding positioning, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, each of the horizontal protective ribs 201 includes a plurality of protruding portions 2011, and each of the vertical protective ribs 202 has the protruding portions 2011 on both sides, and the two sides of the vertical protective rib 202 respectively abut against the corresponding protruding portions 2011.

[0036] It should be noted that the protruding portion 2011 is formed by placing the transverse protective rib 201 on the lower mold with a groove, and pressing down the portion of the transverse protective rib 201 facing the groove with the upper mold. By setting the protruding portions 2011 on both sides of the vertical protective rib 202, the welding positioning of the vertical protective rib 202 and the transverse protective rib 201 before welding is achieved. At the same time, the protruding portion 2011 provides a larger contact area, so that the vertical protective rib 202 and the transverse protective rib 201 can be welded more fully. In addition, the intersection of the transverse protective rib 201 and the vertical protective rib 202 can be tied with a strap, and one side of the strap can be inserted into the recessed area on the other side of the transverse protective rib 201 that is naturally formed by the formation of the protruding portion 2011.

[0037] Furthermore, in this application, the radial dimensions of the transverse protective rib 201 and the vertical protective rib 202 are both smaller than the radial dimension of the main reinforcing bar. Additionally, the surfaces of the transverse protective rib 201, the vertical protective rib 202, and the main reinforcing bar are all coated with an anti-rust coating.

[0038] Furthermore, to reduce the risk of the rust-preventive coating on the surface of the horizontal protective ribs 201 and the vertical protective ribs 202 being scratched after prolonged contact with tree branches, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the protective cover for the off-road vehicle lights also includes several rollers 30, and several rollers 30 are fitted on both the horizontal protective rib 201 and the vertical protective rib 202.

[0039] It should be noted that before welding the transverse protective rib 201 and the vertical protective rib 202, the roller 30 is sleeved on the transverse protective rib 201 and the vertical protective rib 202. At the same time, after the roller 30 is sleeved on the transverse protective rib 201, the protruding portion 2011 is formed on the transverse protective rib 201.

[0040] In addition, to facilitate the removal of the roller 30 after it has worn and deformed, such as Figure 8 As shown, the side wall of the roller 30 has a break 301, which can be used to pry the roller 30 apart.

[0041] In summary, the protective cover for off-road vehicle lights described in the embodiments of this application is explained, which provides advantages such as easy branch deflection when encountering tree obstacles.

[0042] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the protective cover for off-road vehicle lights has a simple structure, does not involve complex manufacturing processes or expensive materials, and is highly economical. At the same time, for manufacturers, the protective cover for off-road vehicle lights provided in this application is easy to produce and inexpensive, which is more conducive to controlling production costs and further facilitates product promotion and use.

[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The function and structural principle of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments, and any modifications or variations may be made to the implementation of the present invention without departing from these principles.
