Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle anti-theft technology, specifically an anti-theft device for ATVs. Background Technology
[0002] ATVs (All-Terrain Vehicles and Multi-Purpose Terrain Vehicles) are popular worldwide for their superior off-road capabilities and recreational / practical uses. However, their portability, high value, and frequent use in remote, less regulated outdoor environments such as beaches, deserts, forests, farms, and campsites make them high-risk targets for theft. Traditional vehicle anti-theft methods are often significantly inadequate in combating ATV theft, prompting the development of targeted ATV anti-theft technologies.
[0003] Extensive market research and existing technology searches revealed that anti-theft devices on most ATVs are mounted on the steering column. A steering lock bracket is fixed to the steering column, through which the steering column passes and can rotate. A steering lock is fixed to the steering lock bracket, and a steering lock fixing block is fixed to the steering column. The locking pin of the steering lock extends towards the steering column, and its front end blocks the steering lock fixing block when locked. The extension and retraction of the locking pin locks the steering column, thus achieving the purpose of theft prevention.
[0004] While the above methods can lock the steering column and prevent it from rotating, the steering lock is often located inside the cover, making it difficult for the driver to operate in a confined space. Furthermore, additional brackets and fixing blocks are required, increasing costs. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-theft device for beach buggies, so as to solve the problems of difficult operation and high production cost of existing anti-theft devices mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-theft device for a beach buggy, comprising a side cover of the body, a shifting mechanism being drivenly connected to the outer side of the side cover, the shifting mechanism comprising a shifting rocker arm, a limit block being provided at one end of the shifting rocker arm, and an operating lever being hinged to the other end, an anti-theft lock bracket being fixedly provided on the outer surface of the side cover of the body near the limit block, an anti-theft lock being fixedly connected inside the anti-theft lock bracket, the extension length of the lock tongue of the anti-theft lock being greater than the distance between the limit block and the anti-theft lock bracket when the limit block is closest to the limit block.
[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the anti-theft lock bracket is fixedly connected to the side cover of the machine body by bolts.
[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the anti-theft lock and the anti-theft lock bracket are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the anti-theft lock bracket is an integrally formed sheet metal part.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the anti-theft device only requires a sheet metal part and an anti-theft lock to achieve the purpose of anti-theft, without the need to weld a fixing block as in the prior art, and has the advantages of convenient operation and lower manufacturing cost;
[0011] (1) By having the driver operate the anti-theft lock, the lock cylinder extends and blocks the gear shift rocker arm, preventing the vehicle from being properly shifted and started, thus achieving the purpose of theft prevention. Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the planar structure of this utility model.
[0013] In the diagram: 1. Anti-theft lock bracket; 2. Anti-theft lock; 3. Operating lever; 4. Gear shift rocker arm; 5. Gear shift rocker arm in P gear mode; 6. Side cover of the machine body; 7. Limit block; 8. Gear shifting mechanism. Detailed Implementation
[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] Example: Please refer to Figure 1 A beach buggy anti-theft device includes a side cover 6 of the body, with a gear shifting mechanism 8 connected to the outer side of the side cover 6. The gear shifting mechanism 8 includes a gear shifting rocker arm 4 and an operating lever 3. One end of the gear shifting rocker arm 4 is provided with a limit block 7, and the other end is hinged to the operating lever 3. The beach buggy driver can shift gears and engage P gear by adjusting the operating lever 3 during driving or parking.
[0016] An anti-theft lock bracket 1 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the side cover 6 of the engine body near the limit block 7 of the shift rocker arm 4. The anti-theft lock bracket 1 is a one-piece sheet metal part. An anti-theft lock 2 is fixedly connected inside the anti-theft lock bracket 1. The extension length of the lock tongue of the anti-theft lock 2 is greater than the distance between the limit block 7 and the anti-theft lock bracket 1 when they are closest. When the shift rocker arm 4 is rotated to the P position, after the limit block 7 enters the position, the lock tongue of the anti-theft lock 2 is extended by turning the key, which restricts the shift rocker arm 4 from leaving the P position, so that the vehicle is always in the P position and cannot be started, thus achieving the purpose of anti-theft.
[0017] When using the anti-theft device, the driver only needs to open the engine cover of the vehicle's exterior panel. In some cases, the exterior panel may not even cover the anti-theft device's installation location, allowing for direct operation.
[0018] Furthermore, the anti-theft lock bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the side cover 6 of the machine body by bolts, or it can be fixedly connected by riveting to prevent external damage.
[0019] Furthermore, the anti-theft lock 2 and the anti-theft lock bracket 1 are fixedly connected by bolts.
[0020] Working principle: When using this utility model, the driver first puts the vehicle into P gear, and then the driver operates the anti-theft lock. After the anti-theft lock cylinder extends, it blocks the gear shift rocker arm 4, so that the vehicle can no longer be shifted into gear and started normally, thus achieving the purpose of anti-theft.
[0021] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
