Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to an all-terrain vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are designed for driving on unpaved roads and are suitable for various complex terrain conditions. To enhance the vehicle's self-rescue and towing capabilities, winch devices are typically installed at the front and rear ends of the vehicle. These devices are used to release and retrieve the winch rope, enabling the vehicle to extricate itself from a stuck situation or to tow objects. These winch devices mainly consist of a winch, a rope guide frame, a winch rope, and a hook. The hook is connected to the winch via the winch rope and is retrieved to the vicinity of the vehicle after the work is completed.

[0003] However, in existing winch systems, the hook is typically in a free-suspension state when the winch rope is taut. During vehicle idling or movement, engine vibration and road impacts can cause the hook to swing back and forth at the rope guide, colliding with the vehicle body or other components. This not only produces noticeable abnormal noise but may also cause scratches on the hook and its surrounding parts, reducing their service life. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an all-terrain vehicle in which the hook of the winch device will not collide with its surrounding components, thereby extending the service life of the hook and its surrounding components.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame, a suspension system, a running gear, and a winch assembly. The suspension system is connected to the frame, and at least a portion of the running gear is located below the frame and connected to the suspension system. The winch assembly is connected to the frame and includes a winch, a rope guide, and a hook. The winch and rope guide are fixed to the frame. The rope guide is located in front of the winch and forms a cable pass through it along the length of the all-terrain vehicle. The winch cable passes through the cable pass and is connected to the hook. The winch assembly also includes a magnetic component mounted on the rope guide. At least a portion of the hook is made of a ferromagnetic material that can be attracted by the magnetic component. When the winch cable is tightened, the hook can be attracted by the magnetic component and fixed to the rope guide.

[0007] Furthermore, the guide rope frame has a front side facing away from the winch, which is recessed in the direction of the winch and forms a receiving groove. When the winch rope is tightened, the hook is in the receiving groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the guide rope frame is equipped with several magnetic components, which are placed in the receiving groove.

[0009] Furthermore, several magnetic components are arranged around the wire hole.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer contour of the hook is basically consistent with the inner contour of the receiving groove. The receiving groove has upper and lower limiting edges. When the hook is in the receiving groove, the upper and lower limiting edges limit the hook in the height direction of the all-terrain vehicle.

[0011] Furthermore, the extension direction of the limiting edge is parallel to the width direction of the all-terrain vehicle.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide rope frame includes fasteners for securing the magnetic element, which is ring-shaped, with the fasteners passing through the magnetic element and abutting against it along the length of the all-terrain vehicle.

[0013] Furthermore, the hook includes a connector and a pair of extensions, with a "U"-shaped cable groove formed between the pair of extensions. The connector passes through the pair of extensions and is fixedly connected to one of the extensions. The winch rope is sleeved on the outer edge of the connector.

[0014] Furthermore, the extension forms a mounting hole for the connector to pass through, and the inner wall of the mounting hole forms an annular groove. A retaining ring is provided in the annular groove, and the retaining ring abuts against the connector along the extension direction of the connector.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the mounting holes of the pair of extensions has at least one through hole, and a retaining ring is provided in the through hole.

[0016] In the all-terrain vehicle provided in this application, by setting a magnetic component on the guide rope frame of its winch device, the hook can be attracted by the magnetic component and attached to the guide rope frame, so that the hook can be fixed within the area defined by the guide rope frame, avoiding the hook from swaying and colliding with its surrounding components, and extending the service life of the hook and its surrounding components.

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in specific embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] It should be noted that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, or ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" mentioned in this article are all based on the accompanying drawings of the specification and are introduced for ease of description. They do not imply any limitation on the order of the components. In addition, since some parts of the components provided in the above embodiments have the same function, this specification adopts a uniform naming method for these parts.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides an all-terrain vehicle 100, which includes a frame 11, a body panel 12, a suspension system 13, a running gear 14, and a winch device 15. The frame 11 forms the basic framework of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The body panel 12 covers at least a portion of the frame 11, and includes, but is not limited to, an engine hood, a trunk lid, doors, fenders, side panels, and a roof. The suspension system 13 connects the frame 11 and the running gear 14, transmitting forces and torques between the frame 11 and the running gear 14 to reduce vibrations caused by uneven road surfaces during vehicle operation. At least a portion of the running gear 14 is located below the frame 11 and connected to the suspension system 13, supporting the all-terrain vehicle 100. To clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also provided: Figure 1 The all-terrain vehicle 100 is shown in the up / down, left / right, and forward / backward directions.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the winch assembly 15 is at least partially connected to the vehicle frame 11. The winch assembly 15 includes a winch 151, a rope guide 152, and a hook 153. Both the winch 151 and the rope guide 152 are fixed to the vehicle frame 11. The rope guide 152 is located in front of the winch 151. Viewed along the length of the all-terrain vehicle 100, the rope guide 152 overlaps with at least a portion of the winch 151. The rope guide 152 forms a cable passage hole 1521 that extends through itself along the length of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The winch 151 also includes a winch rope 1511. One end of the winch rope 1511 is fixed by a locking pin (not shown) of the winch 151, and the other end of the winch rope 1511 passes through the cable passage hole 1521 and is connected to the hook 153.

[0025] In one implementation, the winch device 15 further includes a magnetic element 1522 mounted on the rope guide frame 152. At least a portion of the hook 153 is made of a ferromagnetic material that can be attracted by the magnetic element 1522, i.e., at least a portion of the hook 153 is made of iron, cobalt, nickel, or their alloys. When the winch rope 1511 of the winch 151 is tightened, the hook 153 adheres to the rope guide frame 152 under the action of the winch rope 1511, and the hook 153 can be attracted by the magnetic element 1522 and fixed to the rope guide frame 152.

[0026] It should be noted that the tightening of the rope 1511 means that the length of the rope 1511 passing through the wire hole 1521 is at its shortest. In some alternative implementations, the hook 153 can still reliably attract the magnetic component 1522 even when the rope 1511 is not in a tightened state.

[0027] Specifically, the magnetic element 1522 is located on the side surface of the rope guide frame 152 opposite to the winch 151, or the magnetic element 1522 is built into the rope guide frame 152 and is completely covered by the rope guide frame 152.

[0028] Alternatively, the hook 153 can also be made of a non-ferromagnetic material, with a magnet or ferromagnetic material embedded inside the hook 153, so that the hook 153 can be attracted to the rope guide frame 152.

[0029] With the above configuration, when the winch 151 tightens the rope 1511, the hook 153 can be stably attached to the rope guide frame 152 through the cooperation of the magnetic component 1522 provided at the rope guide frame 152. This prevents the hook 153 from shaking when the rope 1511 is tightened and from colliding with the vehicle and causing abnormal noise, thereby improving the stability of the hook 153 and extending the service life of the hook 153 and its surrounding components.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 3 As shown, in one implementation, the rope guide frame 152 has a front side 1523 facing away from the winch 151, and the front side 1523 is recessed in the direction of the winch 151 and forms a receiving groove 1523a. When the winch rope 1511 of the winch 151 is tightened, the hook 153 can be placed into the receiving groove 1523a. Specifically, the hook 153 can be placed into the receiving groove 1523a under the control of the operator; or, the hook 153 can be brought closer to the rope guide frame 152 under the traction of the winch rope 1511, and when the hook 153 reaches a predetermined position, the hook 153 is displaced under the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 1522, so that the hook 153 is placed into the receiving groove 1523a.

[0031] Vibrations generated during vehicle operation can cause the hook 153 to slide up and down along the height direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100 within the receiving groove 1523a. To suppress this sliding, the receiving groove 1523a limits the hook 153 in the height direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100, preventing it from exceeding the range defined by the receiving groove 1523a, thereby improving the stability of the hook 153.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the outer contour of the hook 153 is basically consistent with the inner contour of the receiving groove 1523a. The receiving groove 1523a has limiting edges 1523b on both its upper and lower sides. The upper limiting edge is located above the wire hole 1521, and the lower limiting edge is located below the wire hole 1521. The receiving groove 1523a limits the hook 153 in the height direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100 through the limiting edges 1523b on both sides, thereby preventing the hook 153 from jumping up and down during vehicle operation.

[0033] Specifically, the extension direction of the limiting edge 1523b is parallel to the width direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100. Correspondingly, if the hook 153 is placed in the receiving groove 1523a, the extension directions of the upper and lower edges of the hook 153 are consistent with the extension direction of the limiting edge 1523b on the corresponding side, thereby simplifying the shape of the hook 153 and reducing the volume of the hook 153.

[0034] The hook 153 has two opposing outer surfaces. When the hook 153 is placed in the receiving groove 1523a, one of the outer surfaces of the hook 153 is in contact with the receiving groove 1523a, and the other outer surface faces the front of the all-terrain vehicle 100. That is, the hook 153 can be flipped back and forth so that either outer surface is in contact with the receiving groove 1523a. In addition, the hook 153 includes a claw portion and a connecting portion. The claw portion is used to connect the equipment to be towed, such as a vehicle, metal frame, etc., and the connecting portion is used to connect the winch 1511. When the hook 153 is located in the receiving groove 1523a, the claw portion is located on the left side of the connecting portion, or the claw portion is located on the right side of the connecting portion, that is, the hook 153 can be flipped left and right.

[0035] The above settings improve the ease of connecting the hook 153 to the rope guide frame 152.

[0036] As one implementation method, the guide rope frame 152 is provided with a number of magnetic components 1522, which are arranged in the receiving groove 1523a. When the guide rope frame 152 contacts the hook 153, the magnetic components 1522 and the hook 153 form a multi-contact magnetic attraction connection, thereby enabling the hook 153 to achieve multi-point adsorption with the receiving groove 1523a. This effectively improves the stability of the hook 153 being adsorbed, avoids the hook 153 falling off or shifting due to single-point adsorption failure, and further enhances the working reliability of the winch device 15.

[0037] Specifically, a number of magnetic components 1522 are arranged around the wire hole 1521, forming a multi-point annular magnetic attraction area at the wire hole 1521. Furthermore, according to the weight distribution characteristics of the hook 153, the magnetic components 1522 in the annular magnetic attraction area can be configured differently. For example, the number of magnetic components 1522 can be increased near the center of gravity of the hook 153, while the number of magnetic components 1522 can be appropriately reduced on the lighter side.

[0038] With the above settings, the hook 153 can be subjected to more uniform force when it is attracted, which not only ensures the attraction strength of the center of gravity area of ​​the hook 153, but also avoids the deflection caused by insufficient attraction at a single point, thereby further improving the positioning stability of the hook 153.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, in one implementation, the magnetic component 1522 is ring-shaped, and the rope frame 152 includes a fastener 1524 for fixing the magnetic component 1522. The fastener 1524 passes through the central hole of the magnetic component 1522 along the length direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100 and fixes the magnetic component 1522 to the rope frame 152.

[0040] Furthermore, an annular protective steel sleeve is provided between the magnetic component 1522 and the guide rope frame 152. The guide rope frame 152 has an installation cavity. The protective steel sleeve is fitted onto the outer surface of the magnetic component 1522 and embedded in the installation cavity of the guide rope frame 152. The size of the protective steel sleeve is determined according to the cavity space of the installation cavity.

[0041] Optionally, a matching protective steel sleeve is provided between the magnetic component 1522 and the fastener 1524, that is, the protective steel sleeve is fitted on the outer edge of the fastener 1524 to prevent the sharp edge of the fastener 1524 from damaging the magnetic component 1522.

[0042] With the above-mentioned design, the magnetic component 1522 can be protected from impact and scratches during operation and vibration, thereby significantly improving its impact resistance and service life.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in one implementation, the hook 153 includes a connector 1531 and a pair of extensions 1532. A U-shaped cable groove 1533 is formed between the pair of extensions 1532. At least a portion of the connector 1531 passes through the cable groove 1533, and at least a portion of the rope 1511 is located in the cable groove 1533 and sleeved on the outer edge of the connector 1531. The connector 1531 has a columnar structure and passes through the pair of extensions 1532 along the height direction of the all-terrain vehicle 100, and is fixedly connected to the extensions 1532.

[0044] Furthermore, each extension 1532 is provided with a mounting hole 1532a, and the inner wall of the mounting hole 1532a is formed with an annular groove 1532b arranged circumferentially thereon. A retaining ring 1532c is provided in the annular groove 1532b, and the retaining ring 1532c is used to restrict the movement of the connector 1531 along its extension direction.

[0045] Specifically, each of the mounting holes 1532a of the pair of extensions 1532 has at least one through hole, and a retaining ring 1532c is provided in the through hole.

[0046] For example, a pair of extensions 1532 are defined as a first extension 1532d and a second extension 1532e, respectively. The mounting hole 1532a of the first extension 1532d is defined as a first mounting hole, and the mounting hole 1532a of the second extension 1532e is defined as a second mounting hole. The first mounting hole is a through hole, and the second mounting hole is a blind hole. A connector 1531 passes through the first mounting hole from the first extension 1532d to the second extension 1532e. One end of the connector 1531 facing away from the first extension 1532d passes through the second mounting hole and abuts against the second extension 1532e. A retaining ring 1532c is disposed in the first mounting hole, abutting against the connector 1531 and limiting the connector 1531 in the direction from the first extension 1532d to the second extension 1532e.

[0047] Optionally, both the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are through holes, and each of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole is provided with an annular groove 1532b, and a retaining ring 1532c is provided in the annular groove 1532b. The connector 1531 passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, and is limited in the extending direction of the connector 1531 by the two retaining rings 1532c respectively provided in the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0048] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
