Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of four-wheeled vehicle technology, and in particular, to a beach buggy frame structure. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, ATVs, as vehicles capable of traveling on any terrain, are highly favored due to their excellent off-road performance and simple, practical appearance. However, in practical use, existing ATV technology still has some problems.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN218806286U discloses a beach buggy. This buggy uses several even-numbered controllers to control four-wheel drive, aiming to solve the problem of poor off-road performance on sand caused by traditional beach buggies that mostly use rear-wheel or front-wheel drive. The buggy in this patent includes a display screen, braking devices, support rods, and an adjustment mechanism. The support rods are detachably connected to the adjustment mechanism via bolts, and one end is fixedly connected to the handlebars. Braking devices are installed at both ends of the handlebars, and a display screen is installed in the middle. The bottom end of the support rods is fixedly connected to the casing. Several controllers are housed inside a controller storage box, each controller controlling the speed of its corresponding motor. In addition, the buggy is equipped with damping springs and a bumper at the front of the base plate to improve off-road performance and reduce damage from collisions.

[0004] However, while the beach buggy has improved in off-road performance and safety, it still has shortcomings. In the open, hot environment of the beach, riders need to replenish their water supply frequently due to the intense sun exposure. However, the beach buggy disclosed in this patent, including its claims and specification, does not mention or include any storage device specifically for storing beverages or water bottles. This inconveniences users' need to stay hydrated while playing on the beach, affecting the overall user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a beach buggy frame structure to facilitate the placement of beverage bottles, thereby improving the user experience.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a beach buggy frame structure, including a frame, a front suspension structure, a front wheel, a rear suspension structure, a rear wheel, and a handlebar. The front wheel is connected to the frame through the front suspension structure, and the rear wheel is connected to the frame through the rear suspension structure. The handlebar is rotatably connected to the frame and is used to control the steering of the front wheel. A support frame is fixedly connected to the frame between the handlebar and the rear wheel. The support frame is close to the handlebar. An inclined placement box for placing beverage bottles is connected to the support frame. A cover plate is hinged to the opening of the placement box by a pin. The cover plate is connected to the placement box by an elastic element. The height of the cover plate is higher than the height of the bottom wall of the placement box.

[0007] To achieve the above technical solution, the beverage bottle slides in along the inclined inner wall of the placement box and is stably pressed against the bottom and side walls by gravity. The cover rotates around a pin relative to the opening of the placement box and automatically closes and covers the opening under the reset action of the elastic element, forming a two-way constraint on the beverage bottle in the vertical and radial directions. During riding vibrations and impacts, the gravitational component provided by the tilt angle causes the beverage bottle to continuously press against the rear side of the box and the bottom wall. The structural design of the cover being higher than the bottom wall prevents the beverage bottle from accidentally popping out. The support frame is located between the handlebars and the rear wheel and close to the handlebars, making the retrieval path short and the operation highly accessible, while not interfering with the steering mechanism, thus improving the overall convenience of retrieval during riding and the reliability of sand and dust protection. It also provides convenience for the driver to safely and conveniently retrieve and place beverages while riding, significantly improving the convenience and safety of use.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pin is located near the lower edge of the opening of the placement box, and a lever is connected to the end of the cover plate away from the pin. The lever is located outside the placement box, and the lever and the cover plate form an L-shaped structure. The lever is used to contact the beverage bottle.

[0009] To achieve the above technical solution, firstly, users can easily lift the cover using the exposed lever as a point of force to insert or remove beverage bottles. When a user needs to place a beverage bottle, the bottle will contact the lever, causing the cover to open automatically, facilitating one-handed operation. Secondly, when the vehicle experiences severe bumps and the beverage bottle tends to detach upwards, the bottle will push the cover upwards. However, as the cover rotates, the L-shaped lever simultaneously moves to the top or side of the bottle opening, forming an effective physical barrier to prevent the beverage bottle from completely detaching from the storage box. This ingenious lever design serves both as a convenient "handle" and a secondary anti-detachment safety mechanism, greatly improving the reliability and safety of beverage bottle storage under extreme off-road conditions.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the placement box is provided with a plurality of drainage grooves, and the plurality of drainage grooves are arranged along the width direction of the bottom wall.

[0011] By implementing the above technical solution, when liquid accumulates inside the container due to condensation of cold drinks, rain splashing, or accidental spillage, the liquid will flow towards the side wall due to gravity and automatically drain out of the container through the drain channel. This achieves an automatic drainage function inside the container, preventing liquid accumulation, keeping the container dry and clean, preventing beverage bottles from being soaked in liquid, and improving the hygiene standards and durability of the device.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a protrusion is connected to the outer wall of the placement box, and a sliding hole is provided on the protrusion. The length direction of the sliding hole is parallel to the length direction of the trough. A sliding rod is slidably connected in the sliding hole. A lever for abutting against the bottom wall of the beverage bottle is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod away from the cover plate. The lever passes through the trough. A receiving groove for placing the lever is provided on the bottom wall of the placement box.

[0013] To achieve the above technical solution, the outer wall of the storage box has a protrusion with a sliding hole. A sliding rod is slidably connected within the sliding hole, and one end of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to a lever that passes through a slot. The lever can be stored in a receiving groove on the bottom wall. This structure, through the contact between the lever and the bottom of the beverage bottle, effectively supports and positions beverage bottles of different heights, thus preventing the bottles from shaking during travel. When it is necessary to remove a beverage bottle, the user can pull the sliding rod, causing the lever to slide out of the receiving groove, applying an upward pushing force to the bottom of the bottle, making it easier to remove shorter bottles that are difficult to remove by hand from the storage box. This significantly improves the convenience of retrieval and further enhances the stability of stored items.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a semiconductor cooling chip is connected to the bottom wall of the placement box, and the semiconductor cooling chip is powered by the power supply of the ATV.

[0015] To achieve the above technical solution, a thermoelectric cooler is integrated into the bottom wall of the container, powered by the ATV's onboard power supply. When powered on, the thermoelectric cooler utilizes the Peltier effect to cool one side of the container's bottom wall, transferring heat to the other side for dissipation, thus actively lowering the temperature at the bottom of the container. This provides an active cooling function for beverage bottles, enabling continuous cooling or keeping beverages cold in hot environments, significantly improving the driver's drinking experience and comfort during outdoor off-road activities.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a cooling plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement box, and the cooling plate corresponds to the semiconductor cooling plate.

[0017] To achieve the above technical solution, a heat-conducting plate corresponding to the external thermoelectric cooler is added to the inner wall of the container. When the external thermoelectric cooler operates and generates cooling, this cooling energy is efficiently transferred to the heat-conducting plate, which is in direct contact with the beverage bottle, through heat conduction, and then to the bottom of the beverage bottle. This significantly improves cooling efficiency.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the cooling plate is covered with a buffer pad.

[0019] By implementing the above technical solution, when the beverage bottle is placed in the placement box, the bottle body will contact the soft cushioning pad instead of directly contacting the metal cooling plate, which plays a role in cushioning and shock absorption, preventing the beverage bottle from being damaged by direct collision with the cooling plate.
