Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular to an openable windshield structure. Background Technology

[0002] Farm vehicles (UTVs) are four-wheel drive vehicles used for farm work, suitable for various functions such as beach off-roading, mountain cargo transport, and farm operations. Their design takes into account the possibility of driving on muddy roads. To address the safety issue of mud splashing onto the windshield and preventing wipers from cleaning it effectively, many mass-produced models adopt a windshield-less design. However, not all users purchase farm vehicles for muddy roads. For example, farm vehicles purchased by golf courses are used on grassy surfaces without mud or water. Considering user comfort, a windshield is still necessary in these cases.

[0003] To address these needs, auto parts manufacturers have introduced various windshield accessories tailored to different vehicle sizes. These accessories primarily consist of a frame, a transparent panel within the frame, and fasteners along the frame's edge. These fasteners are used to attach the frame to the roll cage, thus enabling the windshield to function as a windshield. However, these windshield structures cannot be opened or closed and must be completely disassembled, limiting their applicability. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes an openable windshield structure, which mainly solves the problem that existing windshield structures cannot be opened.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An openable windshield structure includes:

[0007] The upper baffle is made of transparent material, and the first fastener is installed on the inner bottom side;

[0008] The lower baffle has a second fastener at its top that cooperates with the first fastener.

[0009] The damping mechanism is connected at both ends to the lower inner side of the upper baffle and the target roll cage, respectively.

[0010] In some embodiments, a hinge is also included above the damping mechanism, one end of which is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the upper baffle, and the other end is hinged to the target roll cage.

[0011] In some embodiments, a first connector and a second connector are also included, which are fixed to the target roll cage. The first connector is used to connect to one end of the damping mechanism, and the second connector is used to connect to one end of the hinge.

[0012] In some embodiments, a reinforcing rib is also included, which is installed between the upper baffle and the hinge.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first fastener includes a first base, an extension arm hinged to the first base, and a first locking member fixed to the end of the extension arm. The second fastener includes a second base and a rocker arm disposed on one side of the second base. A slider is disposed on the upper surface of the second base along its own length direction. The rocker arm passes through the slider and forms a screw connection with the slider. A second locking member is disposed on the top of the slider for cooperating with the first locking member.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first locking member includes a lock head fixed to the end of the extension arm, the lock head having a spring protrusion on its side, and the second locking member includes a locking groove disposed on the top of the slider and used to engage with the lock head, the locking groove having a clearance hole on its side for avoiding the spring protrusion.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting an upper baffle and a lower baffle that are separate from each other, and setting corresponding first fasteners and second fasteners at the joint of the two respectively, the upper baffle is locked by the cooperation of the first fastener and the second fastener. When the user needs to open the upper baffle, the upper baffle can be pushed outward by unlocking the fastener, and the damping mechanism is used to make the upper baffle hover in the expected position, thereby improving the applicability of the product.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the content of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.

[0020] This embodiment proposes an openable and closable windshield structure, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0021] The upper baffle 1 is made of transparent material, such as acrylic, and can be used as a windshield. A first fastener 4 is provided on the inner bottom side of the baffle.

[0022] The lower baffle 2 can be made of transparent or opaque material, serving as a supplement to the upper baffle 1. Its top is provided with a second fastener 5 that cooperates with the first fastener 4.

[0023] The damping mechanism 3 is hinged at both ends to the lower inner side of the upper baffle 1 and the target roll cage, respectively. When the upper baffle 1 is pushed outward, the damping mechanism 3 acts as a support rod to suspend the upper baffle 1 in any position. The parameters of the damping mechanism 3 should be selected according to the weight of the upper baffle 1 to avoid problems such as the upper baffle 1 being difficult to press down and return to its original state, or insufficient suspension force. In addition, there should be at least one damping mechanism 3. In this scheme, in order to enhance the suspension effect of the upper baffle 1, two symmetrical damping mechanisms 3 are selected and respectively set on both sides of the upper baffle 1. For the specific structure, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 .

[0024] In the above scheme, the upper baffle 1 is only connected to the target roll cage through the damping mechanism 3. When the upper baffle 1 is suspended, all the force is concentrated at the point of connection with the damping mechanism 3. Therefore, in a more preferred scheme, a hinge 6 is also included above the damping mechanism 3. One end of the hinge 6 is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the upper baffle 1, and the other end is hinged to the target roll cage. In this preferred scheme, the hinge 6 serves as another connection point between the upper baffle 1 and the target roll cage, aiming to distribute the force on the upper baffle 1 when it is suspended, and to avoid excessive force on a single point of the upper baffle 1, which could cause it to break or deform.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting an upper baffle 1 and a lower baffle 2 that are separate from each other, and by setting a first fastener 4 and a second fastener 5 at the joint of the two respectively, the upper baffle 1 is locked by the cooperation of the first fastener 4 and the second fastener 5. When the user needs to open the upper baffle 1, the upper baffle 1 can be pushed outward by unlocking the fastener, and the damping mechanism 3 is used to make the upper baffle 1 hover in the expected position, thereby improving the applicability of the product.

[0026] The original target roll cage is generally a smooth rod, and its surface usually does not have pre-drilled connecting parts. Optionally, it also includes a first connecting part 7 and a second connecting part 8 fixed to the target roll cage. The first connecting part 7 is used to connect to one end of the damping mechanism 3, and the second connecting part 8 is used to connect to one end of the hinge 6. For example, a clamp can be selected as the connecting part, and the surface of the clamp can be provided with hinged holes; this will not be elaborated further here. In this optional solution, both the first connecting part 7 and the second connecting part 8 are used as transitional clamps, thereby providing a position for the damping mechanism 3 and the hinge 6 to be installed.

[0027] Even better, it also includes a reinforcing rib 9, which is installed between the upper baffle 1 and the hinge 6. Specifically, bolts are used to pass through the original hinge 6 and the upper baffle 1 in sequence, as well as the newly added reinforcing rib 9, which can save the installation of a set of connecting parts and enhance the overall integrity of the device.

[0028] The combination of the first fastener 4 and the second fastener 5 can be any mechanical structure or electronic device capable of achieving locking. In one example, a fastener structure is proposed that allows for stepless adjustment of the opening angle of the upper baffle 1 while the upper baffle 1 is locked, providing users with an adjustable air intake channel and partially replacing the function of an air conditioner. Specifically, the first fastener 4 includes a first base 401, an extension arm 402 hinged to the first base 401, and a first locking member fixed to the end of the extension arm 402. The second fastener 5 includes a second base 501 and a rocker arm 502 disposed on one side of the second base 501. A slider 503 is disposed on the upper end surface of the second base 501 along its own length direction. The rocker arm 502 passes through the slider 503 and forms a screw connection with the slider 503. A second locking member is disposed on the top of the slider 503 for engaging with the first locking member.

[0029] In the above example, the rocker arm 502 and slider 503 are the core components for stepless adjustment. When the user manually rotates the rocker arm 502 clockwise, the slider 503 is fixed to the second base 501 and can only move forward in a straight line. This causes the extension arm 402, the first locking member, the second locking member, the extension arm 402, and the first base 401 to move outward, which in turn causes the upper baffle 1 to move outward. Obviously, the maximum opening and closing distance of the upper baffle 1 is the adjustable stroke of the slider 503. Conversely, when the user manually reverses the rocker arm 502, it causes the upper baffle 1 to move inward until the upper baffle 1 returns to the fully closed state. Through this structure, the user can control the opening angle of the upper baffle 1 and adjust the gap between the upper baffle 1 and the lower baffle 2, thereby steplessly adjusting the air intake volume.

[0030] In one example, the first locking element includes a lock head 403 fixed to the end of the extension arm 402, with a spring protrusion 404 on its side. The second locking element includes a lock groove 504 located on the top of the slider 503 and used to engage with the lock head 403, with a clearance hole 505 on its side to avoid the spring protrusion 404. In this example, after the lock head 403 is inserted into the lock groove 504, the spring protrusion 404 simultaneously enters the clearance hole 505, completing the locking state. The user can unlock the lock by simply pressing the spring protrusion 404 to disengage it from the clearance hole 505.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made based on the substance of the content of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
