Abstract
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 are simple and practical, possessing excellent off-road capabilities, and are typically used in harsh terrain environments such as beaches, riverbeds, forest trails, streams, and deserts. During operation, the vehicles experience significant bumps and vibrations, necessitating the installation of handrails to assist rear passengers and enhance their safety.
[0003] However, the existing armrest structure occupies a large amount of space, which makes the rear space of the all-terrain vehicle smaller when the armrest structure is not needed, thus affecting the space utilization rate of the rear space of the all-terrain vehicle. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this application is to provide an all-terrain vehicle with high space utilization.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame, body panels, a running gear, a powertrain, and seats. The frame includes a front strut, a center strut, and a rear strut; the body panels are at least partially mounted on the frame and surround the frame to form a driver's cabin; the running gear is at least partially located below the frame; the powertrain is supported by the frame and driven by the running gear; the seats are supported by the frame and include front and rear seats, with the front seats located behind the front strut and the rear seats located in front of the rear strut, and a center strut positioned between the front and rear seats. The frame includes a center strut and an armrest mechanism, which is detachably connected to the center strut. The armrest mechanism includes a detached state separated from the center strut and a fixed state connected to the center strut. When the armrest mechanism is in the detached state, the space between the front and rear seats is a first seating space; when the armrest mechanism is in the fixed state, the space between the armrest mechanism and the rear seats is a second seating space, where the first seating space is larger than the second seating space.
[0007] Furthermore, the handrail mechanism includes a horizontal bar and a handrail bar, the handrail bar being connected to the horizontal bar, and the horizontal bar being detachably connected to the central support column.
[0008] Furthermore, the transverse bar includes a first transverse bar and a second transverse bar, with the second transverse bar located below the first transverse bar. Both the first and second transverse bars are detachably connected to the central support column. One end of the handrail is detachably connected to the first transverse bar, and the end of the handrail away from the first transverse bar is connected to the second transverse bar.
[0009] Furthermore, the first crossbar includes a transverse section, a first longitudinal section, and a second longitudinal section. The transverse section extends substantially along the width direction of the frame, while the first and second longitudinal sections extend substantially along the length direction of the frame. One end of the first longitudinal section and one end of the second longitudinal section are detachably connected to the center pillar, and the other ends of the first and second longitudinal sections are respectively connected to the two ends of the transverse section.
[0010] Furthermore, the handrail includes a front section and a vertical section. The front section extends substantially along the length of the frame, and the vertical section extends along a predetermined straight line. The two ends of the front section are respectively connected to the vertical section and the second horizontal bar. The end of the vertical section away from the front section is detachably connected to the horizontal section.
[0011] Furthermore, the horizontal segment extends downward at least partially to form a mounting portion, and the end of the vertical segment away from the front segment is fitted onto the mounting portion. The handrail mechanism also includes fasteners, and the vertical segment and the mounting portion are detachably connected by the fasteners.
[0012] Furthermore, the transverse segment is at least partially located behind the second crossbar.
[0013] Furthermore, the all-terrain vehicle also includes a seat belt mechanism, with a fixing part provided on the first crossbar, and the seat belt mechanism is at least partially fixed to the first crossbar through the fixing part; the seat belt mechanism is a four-point seat belt.
[0014] Furthermore, the fixing part is located above the first crossbar.
[0015] Furthermore, the central support includes a lower support and an upper support, the first crossbar is detachably connected to the upper support, and the second crossbar is detachably connected to the lower support.
[0016] The aforementioned all-terrain vehicle features a detachable connection between the handrail mechanism and the central support pillar, which improves the ease of assembly and disassembly of the handrail mechanism and the central support pillar. This allows the handrail mechanism to be disassembled and assembled according to actual needs, thereby improving the space utilization of the all-terrain vehicle. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides an all-terrain vehicle 100, which includes a frame 11, body panels 12, a running gear 13, a powertrain 14, a seat 15, and a suspension system 16.
[0024] To clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, the following are also defined: Figure 1 The directions shown are front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom. In this application, the length direction of the frame 11 refers to... Figure 1 In the fore-and-aft direction, the width direction of the frame 11 refers to... Figure 1 The left and right directions in the middle, and the height direction of frame 11 refers to Figure 1 The up and down directions in the middle.
[0025] The vehicle frame 11 includes a front strut 111, a center strut 112, and a rear strut 113. The frame 11 serves as the basic framework of the all-terrain vehicle 100, supporting the body panels 12, the running gear 13, the powertrain 14, the seat 15, and the suspension system 16. The body panels 12 are at least partially mounted on the frame 11 to protect the internal components of the all-terrain vehicle 100. The running gear 13 is at least partially located under the frame 11. Specifically, the running gear 13 includes a front wheel 131 and a rear wheel 132, both of which are connected to the frame 11 via the suspension system 16. The powertrain 14 is drive-connected to the running gear 13. Specifically, the powertrain 14 can be drive-connected to the front wheel 131, the rear wheel 132, or both simultaneously. Seat 15 is at least partially located on and connected to the frame 11, and is used to support the driver and / or passengers. Seat 15 includes a front seat 151 and a rear seat 152. The front seat 151 is located behind the front pillar 111, and the rear seat 152 is located in front of the rear pillar 113. A center pillar 112 is provided between the front seat 151 and the rear seat 152.
[0026] In this embodiment, the frame 11 includes a bottom frame 114, a center pillar 112 located between the front seat 151 and the rear seat 152, and the bottom frame 114 located below the center pillar 112. For the all-terrain vehicle 100, the center pillar 112 is the B-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100, and the bottom frame 114 is the chassis of the all-terrain vehicle 100.
[0027] Specifically, the frame 11 also includes a handrail mechanism 200, which is mounted on the central support column 112. The handrail mechanism is used to provide passengers with a support point to hold onto, so that passengers can better ensure their stability when riding the all-terrain vehicle 100, thereby improving the safety of passengers when riding the all-terrain vehicle 100.
[0028] As one implementation, the armrest mechanism 200 is detachably connected to the center pillar 112. The armrest mechanism 200 includes a detached state separated from the center pillar 112 and a fixed state connected to the center pillar 112. When the armrest mechanism 200 is in the detached state, the space between the front seat 151 and the rear seat 152 is the first usable seating space. When the armrest mechanism 200 is in the fixed state, the space between the armrest mechanism 200 and the rear seat 152 is the second usable seating space, with the first usable seating space being larger than the second usable seating space. This design improves the ease of assembling and disassembling the armrest mechanism from the center pillar, allowing for assembly and disassembly according to actual needs, thereby improving the space utilization of the all-terrain vehicle. Furthermore, removing the armrest mechanism 200 increases the rear passenger space of the all-terrain vehicle 100, further improving the space utilization of the rear passenger space.
[0029] The handrail mechanism 200 includes a transverse bar 21 and a handrail bar 22. The handrail bar 22 is connected to the transverse bar 21, and the transverse bar 21 is detachably connected to the center pillar 112. This arrangement, with the handrail mechanism 200 mounted on the center pillar 112, allows rear passengers to maintain stability while riding the all-terrain vehicle 100, thus improving their safety. Furthermore, the strong structure of the center pillar 112 provides sufficient support for the handrail mechanism 200, enhancing its stability and ensuring the safety of rear passengers. The detachable connection between the transverse bar 21 and the center pillar 112 also improves the ease of assembly and disassembly, allowing the handrail mechanism 200 to be installed or removed according to the actual driving needs of the all-terrain vehicle 100, thereby expanding its applicability.
[0030] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the handrail 22 extends at least partially along a predetermined straight line 101, defining a transverse plane 102 perpendicular to the length direction of the frame 11. The angle between the predetermined straight line 101 and the transverse plane 102 is an acute angle, and the opening of the acute angle faces downwards. In this application, the transverse plane 102 is perpendicular to... Figure 1 In the front-back direction and parallel to Figure 1 The horizontal plane in the left-right direction. With the above arrangement, the angle between the handrail 22 and the horizontal plane 102 is an acute angle, which can avoid the handrail 22 from having a large tilt angle, making it easier for rear passengers to hold the handrail 22, thereby improving the comfort and safety of rear passengers riding in the all-terrain vehicle 100.
[0031] Specifically, the transverse bar 21 includes a first transverse bar 211 and a second transverse bar 212. The second transverse bar 212 is located below the first transverse bar 211. Both the first transverse bar 211 and the second transverse bar 212 are detachably connected to the central support column 112. One end of the handrail bar 22 is detachably connected to the first transverse bar 211, and the end of the handrail bar 22 away from the first transverse bar 211 is connected to the second transverse bar 212. Through the above arrangement, both ends of the handrail bar 22 can be fixed by the first transverse bar 211 and the second transverse bar 212 respectively, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the first transverse bar 211, the second transverse bar 212 and the handrail bar 22, and thus improving the structural strength and structural stability of the handrail mechanism 200. In addition, the first crossbar 211 and the second crossbar 212 are detachably connected to the center pillar 112, which can improve the ease of disassembly and assembly of the handrail mechanism 200 and the center pillar 112, and the handrail mechanism 200 can be disassembled and assembled according to actual needs, so as to avoid the handrail mechanism 200 occupying the space inside the all-terrain vehicle 100 when it is not needed, thereby improving the space utilization rate of the all-terrain vehicle 100.
[0032] As one implementation, the first crossbar 211 includes a transverse segment 2111, a first longitudinal segment 2112, and a second longitudinal segment 2113. The transverse segment 2111 extends substantially along the width direction of the frame 11, while the first longitudinal segment 2112 and the second longitudinal segment 2113 both extend substantially along the length direction of the frame 11. One end of the first longitudinal segment 2112 and one end of the second longitudinal segment 2113 are detachably connected to the center pillar 112, and the other ends of the first longitudinal segment 2112 and the second longitudinal segment 2113 are respectively connected to the two ends of the transverse segment 2111. With the above arrangement, the gap width between the first crossbar 211 and the front seat 151 is equal to the extension length of the first longitudinal segment 2112 and the second longitudinal segment 2113 along the length direction of the frame 11, thus ensuring a gap between the first crossbar 211 and the front seat 151 and preventing rear passengers from being unable to hold the armrest 22 connected to the first crossbar 211 due to the first crossbar 211 being too close to the front seat 151. In addition, the first longitudinal section 2112 and the second longitudinal section 2113 are detachably connected to the central support column 112, so that the first crossbar 211 can be disassembled and assembled according to actual needs, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the handrail mechanism 200 and the central support column 112. Thus, the handrail mechanism 200 can be disassembled and assembled according to actual needs, thereby improving the space utilization of the all-terrain vehicle 100.
[0033] As one implementation, the armrest 22 includes a front section 221 and a vertical section 222. The front section 221 extends substantially along the length of the vehicle frame 11, and the vertical section 222 extends along a predetermined straight line 101. The two ends of the front section 221 are respectively connected to the vertical section 222 and the second crossbar 212. The end of the vertical section 222 furthest from the front section 221 is detachably connected to the crossbar 2111. With this arrangement, the front section 221 extends along the length of the vehicle frame 11, ensuring that the end of the vertical section 222 connected to the front section 221 is far from the front seat 151, thus guaranteeing that there is space between the vertical section 222 and the front seat 151. When rear passengers hold the armrest 22, they can pass their hands between the vertical section 222 and the front seat 151 and grasp the vertical section 222, thereby improving the convenience and safety of rear passengers holding the armrest 22.
[0034] In one implementation, the horizontal segment 2111 extends at least partially downward to form a mounting portion 2114, and the end of the vertical segment 222 away from the front segment 221 is fitted onto the mounting portion 2114. The handrail mechanism 200 also includes a fastener 23, and the vertical segment 222 and the mounting portion 2114 are detachably connected via the fastener 23. Through this arrangement, by fitting the vertical segment 222 onto the mounting portion 2114 and using the fastener 23 to enhance the connection strength between the handrail 22 and the horizontal segment 2111, the reliability of the handrail 22 is improved, thereby enhancing the safety of rear passengers holding the handrail 22.
[0035] As one implementation, the lateral segment 2111 is at least partially located behind the second crossbar 212. With this arrangement, the distance between a portion of the first crossbar 211 and the front seat 151 is greater than that between a portion of the second crossbar 212 and the rear passengers, thus facilitating the rear passengers' grip on the first crossbar 211. Simultaneously, it also increases the distance between the armrest 22 connected to the first crossbar 211 and the front seat 151, providing sufficient space for rear passengers to grip the armrest 22 and improving their comfort.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one implementation, the all-terrain vehicle 100 also includes a seat belt mechanism 17. A fixing part 2115 is provided on the first crossbar 211, and the seat belt mechanism 19 is at least partially fixed to the first crossbar 211 through the fixing part 2115. The seat belt mechanism 17 is a four-point seat belt. With the above configuration, the seat belt mechanism 17 can be installed and removed according to actual needs. When the all-terrain vehicle 100 needs to travel on rough terrain, the four-point seat belt can be quickly installed through the fixing part 2115 before the all-terrain vehicle 100 is driven, ensuring that the driver and passengers in the front seat 151 can maintain their stability by wearing the four-point seat belt, thereby improving the safety of the driver and passengers in the all-terrain vehicle 100. At the same time, by installing the armrest mechanism 200, the fixing part 2115 of the seat belt mechanism 17 is provided, and the passengers in the rear seat 152 can maintain their stability through the armrest mechanism 200. When the all-terrain vehicle 100 does not need to travel on harsh road conditions, the seat belt mechanism 17 can be removed without generating extra fixing parts, which improves the space utilization between the rear seat 152 and the front seat 151.
[0037] As one implementation, the fixing part 2115 is located above the first crossbar 211, so that the fixing part 2115 will not affect the installation and removal of the handrail 22.
[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in one implementation, the central support 112 includes a lower support 1122 and an upper support 1121. The upper support 1121 is located above the lower support 1122. A first crossbar 211 is detachably connected to the upper support 1121, and a second crossbar 212 is detachably connected to the lower support 1122. This arrangement prevents the first crossbar 211 and the second crossbar 212 from being simultaneously connected to the upper support 1121 or the lower support 1122. This allows the handrail mechanism 200 to be fixed by both components simultaneously, preventing the handrail mechanism 200 from swaying due to the upper support 1121 or the lower support 1122, thereby improving the working stability of the handrail mechanism 200 and ultimately enhancing the safety of rear passengers.
[0039] 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.
