Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An all-terrain vehicle (ATV) is a vehicle designed to travel on a variety of complex terrains. ATVs have strong off-road capabilities and can easily handle complex terrains such as mud, sand, snow, and rocks.

[0003] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) typically include a frame, body panels, running gear, suspension system, powertrain, transmission system, and cargo box. The cargo box is used to store goods, facilitating the carrying of items by the ATV. However, the fixed volume of cargo boxes in existing technologies cannot meet the needs of loading larger items, resulting in insufficient cargo capacity for ATVs.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the carrying capacity of all-terrain vehicles is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide an all-terrain vehicle with a high load-carrying capacity.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An all-terrain vehicle includes a frame, a running gear, a suspension system, a powertrain, a cargo box, and a seat. The running gear is at least partially located under the frame, the suspension system connects the running gear to the frame, the powertrain is supported by the frame and driven by the running gear, the cargo box is at least partially mounted at the rear of the frame, and the seat is supported by the frame and located in front of the cargo box. The cargo box includes a cargo box panel for carrying cargo and a support plate rotatably connected to the frame. The support plate is located in front of the cargo box panel and is rotatable relative to the frame to a first rotational position. The support plate has a support surface that, when in the first rotational position, is substantially flush with the upper surface of the cargo box panel.

[0008] Furthermore, a storage space is formed behind the seat. When the support plate is in the first rotation position, the storage space is located below the support plate. The support plate can rotate relative to the frame to the second rotation position. When the support plate is in the second rotation position, the support surface and the upper surface of the cargo box panel are on different planes. An extension space is formed between the support plate and the seat, and the extension space is connected to the storage space.

[0009] Furthermore, the seat also includes a rear panel located behind the storage space. The rear panel is fixedly connected to the frame and has an access panel that communicates with the storage space. The powertrain includes an engine and an air filter for supplying air to the engine. Viewed from the length of the frame, both the engine and the air filter at least partially overlap with the access panel.

[0010] Furthermore, the seat also includes a maintenance cover that is detachably connected to the rear panel and can be placed over the access panel.

[0011] Furthermore, the cargo box also includes a rotating shaft that is rotatably connected to the chassis, and the rotating shaft is also fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the cargo box also includes a pull rope for limiting the rotation angle of the support plate. The two ends of the pull rope are fixedly connected to the vehicle frame and the support plate, respectively. The pull rope is in a stretched state. When the pull rope is in the stretched state, the support plate is in the first rotation position.

[0013] Furthermore, the cargo box includes a locking element that is connected to a support plate. A snap-fit ​​element is provided on the frame, which can engage with the locking element when the support plate is in the second rotation position.

[0014] Furthermore, there are two locking components, located on both sides of the support plate along the width of the frame.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking component is rotatably connected to the support plate, and the cargo box also includes an unlocking component. The unlocking component is drively connected to the locking component, and the unlocking component can drive the locking component to rotate relative to the support plate, so that the locking component has a snap-fit ​​position that snaps into the snap-fit ​​component and a disengagement position that separates from the snap-fit ​​component.

[0016] Furthermore, when the locking member engages with the latching member, the support plate is in the first rotational position, and the unlocking member is at least partially located in front of the support plate.

[0017] In the aforementioned all-terrain vehicle, by rotating the support plate so that when the support plate is in the first rotating position, the support plate can be on the same plane as the cargo box panel, thereby increasing the storage space of the cargo box system, which is beneficial for the all-terrain vehicle to load large-volume items, and thus improves the all-terrain vehicle's carrying capacity.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this application provides an all-terrain vehicle 100, which includes a frame 11, a body panel 12, a running system 13, a suspension system 14, a powertrain 15, and a seat 19.

[0027] 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.

[0028] The frame 11 serves as the basic framework of the all-terrain vehicle 100, supporting the body panels 12, the running gear 13, the suspension system 14, the powertrain 15, and the seats 19. The body panels 12 are at least partially connected to the frame 11. The running gear 13 is at least partially located below the frame 11, and the suspension system 14 connects the running gear 13 to the frame 11. Specifically, the running gear 13 includes front wheels 131 and rear wheels 132, both of which are connected to the frame 11 via the suspension system 14. The powertrain 15 is drive-connected to the running gear 13; specifically, the powertrain 15 can be drive-connected to at least one of the front wheels 131 or the rear wheels 132. The seats 19 include front seats 191 and rear seats 192, and are used for the driver and passengers.

[0029] Specifically, the frame 11 includes a front frame 111, a middle frame 112, and a rear frame 113 connected in sequence. Along the length of the frame 11, the middle frame 112 is located between the front frame 111 and the rear frame 113. The body panel 12 is at least partially connected to the middle frame 112 and forms a driver's cab 20 with the middle frame 112, the driver's cab 20 being used to provide seating space for the driver and / or passengers.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mid-frame 112 includes a front strut 1121, a strut assembly 1122, and a rear strut 1123. The strut assembly 1122 is located between the front strut 1121 and the rear strut 1123. For the all-terrain vehicle 100, the front strut 1121 is the A-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100, the strut assembly 1122 is the B-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100, and the rear strut 1123 is the C-pillar of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in one implementation, the all-terrain vehicle 100 also includes a cargo box 27, which is at least partially located at the rear of the frame 11. The cargo box 27 also includes a cargo box panel 271 and a support plate 276. The support plate 276 is located in front of the cargo box panel 271, which is used to carry cargo. The support plate 276 is rotatably connected to the frame 11, allowing it to rotate relative to the frame 11 to a first rotation position. The support plate 276 also has a support surface 2761, and the cargo box panel 271 has an upper surface 2711. When the support plate 276 is in the first rotation position, the support surface 2761 of the support plate 276 and the upper surface 2711 of the cargo box panel 271 are substantially on the same plane. It is understood that rotating the support plate 276 to the first rotation position increases the cargo space of the cargo box 27, thereby improving the cargo carrying capacity of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the seat 19 is located in front of the cargo box 27, and a storage space 196 is formed behind the seat 19. The storage space 196 can hold personal items carried by the driver or passenger, such as a backpack. The storage space 196 has an opening at the top, which facilitates the driver or passenger in storing items.

[0033] Specifically, when the support plate 276 is in the first rotating position, the storage space 196 is located below the support plate 276, so that the support plate 276 can cover the opening of the storage space 196. With this configuration, when the all-terrain vehicle 100 is traveling on complex road conditions and experiences up-and-down bumps, covering the opening of the storage space 196 with the support plate 276 prevents items inside the storage space 196 from falling out of the storage space 196, thus improving the safety of items stored in the storage space 196.

[0034] More specifically, the support plate 276 can also rotate relative to the frame 11 to a second rotation position. When the support plate 276 is in the second rotation position, the support surface 2761 of the support plate 276 and the upper surface 2711 of the cargo box panel 271 are on different planes. At this time, an extended space 197 is formed between the support plate 276 and the seat 19, which is connected to the storage space 196, thereby increasing the size of the storage space 196 and improving the cargo capacity of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0035] Understandably, when the driver or passenger needs to increase the cargo space of the cargo box 27, they can rotate the support plate 276 to control it in a first rotation position. When the driver or passenger needs to increase the storage space 196, they can rotate the support plate 276 to control it in a second rotation position. Through the above settings, the driver or passenger can control the support plate 276 to rotate to different positions according to different usage scenarios to meet the needs of different scenarios, thereby improving the applicability of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0036] In one embodiment, the cargo box 27 also includes a rotating shaft 277, which extends along the width direction of the frame 11 and is rotatably connected to the frame 11. The support plate 276 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 277, thereby enabling the support plate 276 to rotate relative to the frame 11, so that the support plate 276 can switch between a first rotation position and a second rotation position.

[0037] like Figure 5As shown, in one implementation, the seat 19 also includes a rear panel 195 located behind the storage space 196. The rear panel 195 is fixedly connected to the frame 11, and an access port 1951 is provided on the rear panel 195. The access port 1951 faces the storage space 196 and is also connected to the storage space 196. The powertrain 15 includes an engine 151 and an air filter 152. The air filter 152 is connected to the engine 151 and is used to supply air to the engine 151. Viewed from the length of the frame 11, both the engine 151 and the air filter 152 at least partially overlap with the access port 1951. With the above configuration, when the engine 151 and / or air filter 152 are damaged, or when the engine 151 and / or air filter 152 need to be inspected, the engine 151 and / or air filter 152 can be inspected through the inspection port 1951 located on the rear panel 195, thereby increasing the maintenance convenience of the all-terrain vehicle 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the seat 19 also includes a maintenance cover 198, which is detachably connected to the rear panel 195 by bolts. When the maintenance cover 198 is connected to the rear panel 195, it can cover the access port 1951. This arrangement prevents items from entering the interior of the all-terrain vehicle 100 through the access port 1951 when the occupant needs to place items in the storage space 196. When the user needs to inspect the engine 151 and / or the air filter 152, the engine 151 and / or the air filter 152 can be inspected through the access port 1951 by separating the maintenance cover 198 from the access port 1951. Through the above arrangement, it is convenient to inspect the engine 151 and / or the air filter 152 while preventing items in the storage space 196 from entering the interior of the all-terrain vehicle 100 through the access port 1951.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in one implementation, the cargo box 27 also includes a pull rope 278, which is used to limit the rotation angle of the support plate 276. One end of the pull rope 278 is fixedly connected to the frame 11, and the other end of the pull rope 278 is fixedly connected to the support plate 276. Specifically, the pull rope 278 has a stretched state. When the pull rope 278 is in the stretched state, the support plate 276 is in a first rotational position. When the pull rope 278 is in the stretched state, it is taut, so that the pull rope 278 can limit the support plate 276 from continuing to rotate, thereby keeping the support plate 276 in the first rotational position.

[0040] In this embodiment, the number of pull ropes 278 is set to two. Along the width direction of the frame 11, the two pull ropes 278 are located on both sides of the support plate 276 and are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the support plate 276, which helps to improve the stability of the support plate 276 when it is in the first rotation position.

[0041] As one implementation, the cargo box 27 includes a locking member 279, which is connected to the support plate 276. The frame 11 is provided with a locking member 11a that can engage with the locking member 279. Specifically, when the support plate 276 is in the second rotational position, the locking member 11a engages with the locking member 279, thereby restricting the rotation of the support plate 276, i.e., the support plate 276 is in the first rotational position. This arrangement prevents the support plate 276 from rotating during the use of the all-terrain vehicle 100, thus avoiding any impact on the driver's or passenger's driving experience due to the rotation of the support plate 276.

[0042] In one implementation, there are two locking members 279, located on opposite sides of the support plate 276 along the width of the frame 11. This arrangement improves the stability of the support plate 276 when it is in the second rotational position.

[0043] In some embodiments, the locking member 279 has a groove, and the engaging member 11a is a metal post extending along the width direction of the frame 11. The groove on the locking member 279 can engage with the metal post, thereby restricting the rotation of the support plate 276 so that the support plate 276 is in a second rotation position.

[0044] In one implementation, the locking member 279 is rotatably connected to the support plate 276, allowing the locking member 279 to rotate relative to the support plate 276. The cargo box 27 also includes an unlocking member 27a, which is at least partially located within the support plate 276. The unlocking member 27a is kinetically connected to the locking member 279, and the driver or passenger can rotate the locking member 279 relative to the support plate 276 by pulling the unlocking member 27a.

[0045] Specifically, when the support plate 276 is in the first rotational position, pulling the unlocking member 27a can drive the locking member 279 to rotate relative to the support plate 276, so that the locking member 279 separates from the latching member 11a. At this time, the support plate 276 can rotate relative to the frame 11, so that the locking member 279 has a latching position that engages with the latching member 11a and a disengaging position that separates from the latching member 11a. Through the above settings, the support plate 276 can be fixed and rotated.

[0046] In one implementation, when the locking member 279 engages with the latching member 11a, the support plate 276 is in a first rotational position, and the unlocking member 27a is at least partially located in front of the support plate 276. For example, the unlocking member 27a includes an unlocking handle 27aa, which is connected to the locking member 279 via a cable. When the support plate 276 is in the first rotational position, i.e., when the locking member 279 engages with the latching member 11a, the unlocking handle 27aa is located in front of the support plate 276, i.e., facing the direction of the driver / passenger. This arrangement facilitates the driver / passenger in controlling the separation of the locking member 279 from the latching member 11a by pulling the unlocking handle 27aa, thereby improving the ease of operation of the unlocking member 27a.

[0047] 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.
