Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation technology, and specifically provides a vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, cars have gradually become an indispensable means of transportation in people's daily lives. Since existing electric vehicles do not have components such as engines at the front, they usually have a front trunk located opposite the rear trunk, which makes it convenient for users to store more items.
[0003] The existing vehicles have a recessed front trunk, and the front cover is installed on the vehicle body and can be opened and closed. Because the front trunk is too high, users need to lift the items above the recess before they can put them in the front trunk. When the items to be retrieved are heavy, or when the elderly or children need to retrieve items from the front trunk, it will increase the difficulty for users to retrieve items and reduce the user experience.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0040] Based on the background art, which points out the inconvenience of taking and putting items in the front trunk of existing vehicles, this utility model provides a vehicle that aims to reduce the height of taking and putting items in the front trunk by setting an opening on the front side of the front trunk. When the front trunk is open, the user can take and put items in the front trunk through the opening, making it more convenient for the user. When the front trunk is closed, the bend can close the opening, making the vehicle's appearance more aesthetically pleasing.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a vehicle, which includes a front trunk 1 and a front cover 2. The front cover 2 is unclamped on the vehicle body and can open and close the front trunk 1. An opening 11 is provided on the side wall of the front trunk 1 near the front of the vehicle. The front cover 2 has a downwardly extending bent portion 21 at its front end, which can close the opening 11.
[0042] For example, such as Figure 1As shown, the vehicle of this utility model has a recessed front trunk 1 in front of the driver's cabin. The front cover 2 is unclamped on the vehicle body and can open and close the front trunk 1. The side wall of the front trunk 1 near the headlights has an opening 11. At the same time, the front end of the front cover 2 has a bent part 21, which bends downward. When the front trunk 1 is open, the front cover 2 is open, and the user can directly take or put items in the front trunk 1 through the opening 11 without having to lift the items above the height of the front trunk 1, thereby reducing the height for taking or putting items in and making it more convenient for the user. When the front trunk 1 is closed, the front cover 2 is lowered, and the bent part 21 can close the opening 11, making the appearance of the vehicle more aesthetically pleasing.
[0043] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle of this utility model also includes a collision protection component, which is installed inside the front cover plate 2 and is correspondingly arranged with respect to the bending part 21.
[0044] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the bent portion 21 of this utility model is provided with a collision protection component, which can protect the legs of the person being hit when a vehicle collision occurs.
[0045] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the collision protection component of this utility model is a lateral protection bar 4, which extends along the width direction of the vehicle.
[0046] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the transverse protective bar 4 of this utility model is a rectangular plate extending along the width direction of the vehicle, with a square opening in the middle, which can enhance the strength of the transverse protective bar 4.
[0047] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the front cover plate 2 of this utility model includes a front cover outer plate 22 and a front cover inner plate 23. The front cover outer plate 22 covers and is installed on the front cover inner plate 23. The bending part 21 includes a first bending part 24 disposed at the front end of the front cover outer plate 22 and a second bending part 25 disposed at the front end of the front cover inner plate 23. There is a cavity between the first bending part 24 and the second bending part 25, and the collision protection component is installed in the cavity.
[0048] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer front cover 22 of this utility model is a decorative panel, and the inner front cover 23 is a load-bearing plate. The outer front cover 22 is installed on the inner front cover 23 to form a whole. Similarly, the first bending part 24 is a decorative panel, the second bending part 25 is a load-bearing plate, and the transverse protective rod 4 is installed in the cavity between the first bending part 24 and the second bending part 25 and is fixedly installed on the second bending part 24.
[0049] Preferably, such as Figure 2As shown, the vehicle of this utility model also includes a waist reinforcement member 3, which is installed on the inner side of the front cover plate 2 and located at the connection between the bent part 21 and the front cover plate 2.
[0050] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the waist reinforcement member 3 of this utility model is installed on the inner side of the inner front cover plate 23 and is located at the connection between the bent part 21 and the front cover plate 2. That is to say, the waist reinforcement member 3 is installed at the bend at the bottom of the inner front cover plate 23. This arrangement can enhance the strength of the connection between the bent part 21 and the front cover plate 2, thereby preventing deformation and damage caused by frequent use of the connection between the bent part 21 and the front cover plate 2.
[0051] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the number of waist reinforcement members 3. For example, those skilled in the art can set the waist reinforcement members 3 to two or three spaced apart, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific number of waist reinforcement members 3 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.
[0052] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention has multiple waist reinforcement members 3, which are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the vehicle.
[0053] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the present invention has two waist reinforcement members 3, which are distributed at intervals along the width direction of the front cover plate 2.

When it is necessary to open the front trunk 1, the first locking member and the second locking member can be opened by a button or a button on the vehicle, so that the front cover 2 can be lifted by a motor and the front trunk 1 can be opened.
[0056] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle of this utility model also includes a locking reinforcement plate 5, which is installed on the inner side of the bent portion 21, and the first locking member is installed on the locking reinforcement plate 5.
[0057] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the locking reinforcing plate 5 of this utility model is installed on the inner side of the bent part 21, that is, the rear end of the bent part 21. The first locking member is installed on the locking reinforcing plate 5. By installing the first locking member on the locking reinforcing plate 5, the installation firmness of the first locking member can be improved, and the first locking member can be prevented from loosening and falling off due to fatigue.
[0058] Preferably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle of this utility model also includes a rivet nut 6, which securely connects the locking reinforcing plate 5 to the bent portion 21.
[0059] For example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rivet nut 6 of this utility model passes through the connection hole on the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the bending part 21, and fastens the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the bending part 21. The welding strength between the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the bending part 21 is limited. Under the action of high-strength pulling force, the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the first locking component can be pulled off the bending part 21. By fastening the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the bending part 21 with the rivet nut 6, the connection strength between the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the bending part 21 can be further improved, thereby improving the safety of the front trunk 1.
[0060] It should be noted that this utility model does not limit the number of rivet nuts 6. For example, those skilled in the art can set rivet nuts 6 to 2 or 4 spaced apart, etc. Such adjustments and changes to the specific number of rivet nuts 6 do not deviate from the principle and scope of this utility model and should be limited to the protection scope of this utility model.
[0061] Preferably, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention has multiple rivet nuts 6, which are distributed at intervals on the locking reinforcing plate 5.
[0062] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the present invention has four rivet nuts 6. Two rivet nuts 6 are set on the upper part of the locking reinforcing plate 5, and two rivet nuts 6 lock the lower part of the reinforcing plate 5, thereby ensuring the connection strength between the locking reinforcing plate 5 and the bent part 21.
