Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of devices for protecting drivers from personal attacks inside public vehicles, specifically to a driver's rear bumper and a bus. Background Technology

[0002] A driver's enclosure is used to isolate the driver's cabin from other spaces within a public transportation vehicle, providing the driver with a relatively independent driving space to ensure that the driver is not disturbed by other passengers while driving, thus guaranteeing a safe and stable driving experience. Existing driver's enclosures typically consist of a side enclosure extending forward and backward along the left or right side of the driver's seat, and a rear enclosure extending laterally behind the driver's seat. The front end of the side enclosure is close to the dashboard, while the side of the rear enclosure furthest from the side enclosure is close to the vehicle's side panel, forming an L-shaped enclosure to separate the driver's cabin from the common areas inside the vehicle. The rear enclosure, on the side furthest from the vehicle's side panel, often has a fixing rod extending from its base to the roof to ensure the stability of the entire enclosure structure.

[0003] For example, the integrated enclosed electric lifting door disclosed in Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN218343437U has a fixing rod set on the front side of the driver's rear enclosure (i.e., rear enclosure) near the pivot. The top of the fixing rod protrudes out of the side enclosure (i.e., side enclosure) and the rear enclosure and is fixedly connected to the vehicle body. Several fixing crossbars are also set on the fixing rod laterally and fixedly connected to the inner side of the rear enclosure. The fixing rod and the fixing crossbars are integrally formed by welding. The fixed connection with the vehicle body is achieved through this integral structure of the fixing rod.

[0004] The problem is that the top of the fixing rod extends upwards beyond the upper edge of the side and rear panels, and its top is exposed in the space above the side and rear panels, which takes up space and affects the view. Utility Model Content
