Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle technology, specifically to a windshield assembly and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles, commonly known as "beach buggies" or all-terrain four-wheel off-road vehicles, are simple and practical with good off-road performance. They have wide tires that increase the contact area with the ground, generate greater friction, and reduce the pressure on the ground, making them easy to travel on beaches, riverbeds, forest roads, streams, and harsh desert terrain.

[0003] Due to the complexity of the driving environment of all-terrain vehicles, the windshield plays an important role in protecting the driver. However, existing windshields are prone to insufficient strength under the bumpy driving conditions of harsh roads, which poses a safety hazard. Therefore, designing a windshield with excellent load-bearing structure, high safety, and cost-effectiveness has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a windshield assembly that addresses the defects and deficiencies of the existing technology.

[0022] Left A-pillar beam 1, A-pillar connecting plate 2, left hinge 3, wiper assembly 4, windshield assembly 5, power plug 6, water tank 7, power cord 8, strut 9, motor box 10, wiper switch 11, mounting base 12, right A-pillar beam 13, right hinge 14, water pipe 15. Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the windshield assembly of this utility model embodiment includes a windshield component 5 and a mounting bracket component.

[0025] Specifically, the windshield assembly 5 includes a windshield and an outer frame. The outer frame covers the outer perimeter of the windshield. The mounting bracket assembly includes an A-pillar connecting plate 2 and a hinge. The A-pillar connecting plate 2 is connected between the left A-pillar beam 1 and the right A-pillar beam 13 of the vehicle and is located at the top of the frame. The hinge is connected between the A-pillar connecting plate 2 and the upper edge of the outer frame.

[0026] Understandably, when the windshield needs to be opened, the outer frame can be controlled to rotate upward around the hinge to open it; conversely, the outer frame can be controlled to rotate downward around the hinge to close the windshield.

[0027] In addition, since the outer perimeter of the windshield is covered with a frame, the structural strength of the windshield assembly 5 can be improved by using the outer frame. Furthermore, the connection point between the hinge and the windshield assembly 5 is on the outer frame, and the windshield itself does not serve as a connection fulcrum. This ensures that the structure of the windshield is not damaged and avoids the windshield from being directly subjected to force, so that it can maintain its protective capabilities in harsh driving environments and improve driving safety.

[0028] In this embodiment of the utility model, the windshield assembly has an outer frame covering the outer perimeter of the windshield. The upper frame of the outer frame is connected to the A-pillar connecting plate 2 via a hinge. Thus, the outer frame can strengthen the structural strength of the windshield assembly 5 and provide edge protection for the windshield. The hinge is directly connected to the outer frame, which will not damage the structure of the windshield itself and avoid direct stress on it, so that the windshield can maintain its protective effect in harsh driving environments and improve driving safety.

[0029] In some embodiments, the hinge includes a left hinge 3 and a right hinge 14, which are spaced apart in the width direction of the frame. For example... Figure 2 As shown, two hinges are arranged on the A-pillar connecting plate 2, with the left hinge 3 and the right hinge 14 arranged symmetrically. The two hinges can improve the stability and balance of the windshield rotation on the one hand, and improve the installation stability of the windshield assembly 5 on the other hand.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the windshield assembly also includes a drive unit, which includes a strut 9 and a mounting base 12. The mounting base 12 is mounted on the vehicle frame. One end of the strut 9 is connected to the mounting base 12, and the other end is connected to the outer frame. Thus, when the windshield needs to be opened, the strut 9 can be pushed upward to drive the outer frame to rotate upward and open. Conversely, the strut 9 can retract to drive the outer frame to reset and close the windshield.

[0031] It should be noted that strut 9 can be an electric strut, a pneumatic spring strut, etc. The specific choice can be made according to the layout space and support requirements, and there are no restrictions here.

[0032] Furthermore, the rotation angle α of the outer frame driven by the strut 9 satisfies 45° ≤ α ≤ 65°. It should be noted that when the rotation angle of the outer frame is between 45° and 65°, it can provide the driver with a sufficiently wide field of vision when the frame is open, thus improving the user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments, the strut 9 is connected to the side frame of the outer frame, and the connection point is adjacent to the bottom frame of the outer frame. In other words, the strut 9 supports the outer frame from the side, and the proximity of the support point to the bottom frame can provide a better support angle for the strut 9, increasing the windshield's turning range and sensitivity to rotational influences.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the strut 9 includes a left strut and a right strut arranged at intervals along the width direction of the frame. The left strut and the right strut are respectively connected to the two side frames of the outer frame. Thus, the two struts 9 arranged on the left and right can improve the support balance and load capacity, and ensure the reliability and safety of the windshield assembly 5 rotation.

[0035] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the windshield assembly also includes a wiper assembly 4, which includes a wiper blade mounted on the outer frame. That is, the wiper blade's support platform is the outer frame. Compared to traditional designs where the wiper blades are mounted on the windshield, the wiper blades in this application are not mounted on the windshield, thus avoiding damage to the windshield's structure and ensuring the windshield's integrity and structural strength.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wiper assembly 4 also includes a motor housing 10, a water reservoir 7, a power cord 8, and a water hose 15. The motor housing 10 is mounted inside the outer frame. The power cord 8 is connected to the motor housing 10 to supply power to it, and both the water reservoir 7 and the power cord 8 are fixed to the vehicle frame. The water hose 15 connects to the water reservoir 7 and runs along the inner side of the outer frame to the wiper. Thus, the outer frame provides a platform for the laying and fixing of the water hose 15, preventing the hose from shaking. Figure 1 As shown, the motor box 10 is equipped with a wiper switch 11 and a power plug 6. When the wipers need to be turned on, the power plug 6 is connected and the wiper switch 11 is turned on.

[0037] In some embodiments, the lower edge of the outer frame is provided with a snap-locking structure that cooperates with the vehicle frame. It is understood that when the windshield is closed, the snap-locking structure locks the outer frame to the vehicle frame to prevent the windshield from opening accidentally and to ensure driving safety. When it is necessary to open the windshield, the snap-locking structure is unlocked, and then the windshield is lifted by the strut 9.

[0038] In some embodiments, the wipers are located at the upper edge of the outer frame.

[0039] The vehicle of this utility model embodiment includes the windshield assembly described in the above embodiment.

[0040] In the vehicle of this utility model embodiment, by adopting the above-mentioned windshield assembly, the outer frame can strengthen the structural strength of the windshield component 5, while providing edge protection for the windshield. Furthermore, the hinge is directly connected to the outer frame, which will not damage the structure of the windshield itself and avoid direct stress on it, so that the windshield can ensure the protective effect in harsh driving environments and achieve high driving safety.
