Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of windshield installation technology, and more specifically, relates to a flip-up windshield connection structure and vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The windshield provides the driver with a clear view, allowing them to observe the situation in front and to the sides. Some off-road vehicles feature a flip-up windshield design. In certain special situations, such as high-speed driving, off-road driving, or climbing hills, the flip-up design can change the airflow path, reduce wind resistance, and improve vehicle stability and fuel efficiency.

[0003] The tilt angle and visibility of the windshield are important factors affecting driving safety and comfort. In the existing technology, the windshield is installed on the vehicle body through a connecting structure. After the windshield is tilted towards the hood, the front end of the windshield away from the center of rotation will tilt upwards. Therefore, the driver's forward and downward visibility is limited, which reduces driving safety. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a rotating windshield connection structure and vehicle, which aims to solve the technical problem in the prior art where the windshield rotation angle is limited, affecting the driver's forward and downward vision and posing a safety hazard.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: In a first aspect, a flip-up windshield connection structure is provided, comprising: Ventilation mounting bracket for connection to the rear end of the hood; The windshield, detachably attached at the upper end to the window frame of the vehicle body, and extending downwards at the lower end to the rear edge of the ventilation mount; and The hinge assembly includes a hinge shaft connected to the lower end of the windshield and a first mounting base disposed on the ventilation mounting seat. The first mounting base has a connecting hole through which the hinge shaft passes, and the hinge shaft has a degree of freedom to slide within the connecting hole along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the hinge shaft and is set at an angle to the front-rear direction. During the process of switching the windshield from a closed state to an open state, the hinge shaft slides from the bottom to the top of the connecting hole.

[0006] Compared with the prior art, the solution shown in this application embodiment allows the hinge shaft to rotate within the connecting hole, causing the windshield to flip from the vehicle window frame to the hood. Furthermore, the hinge shaft can slide up and down within the connecting hole along a first direction. When the hinge shaft flips the windshield to a closed state connected to the vehicle window frame, the hinge shaft is at the lower end of the connecting hole, causing the windshield to drop downwards, thereby reducing the obstruction of the view at the bottom of the windshield and expanding the downward field of vision in the closed state. During the process of switching the windshield from a closed state to an open state... The hinge shaft slides from the bottom to the top of the connecting hole, and when the hinge shaft slides to the top of the connecting hole, the windshield flips onto the hood and is in the open state. Compared with the conventional technology where the position of the windshield hinge shaft remains unchanged, in this application, when the hinge shaft slides to the top of the connecting hole, the rear end of the windshield slides upward accordingly, which allows the front end of the flipped windshield to face downward, avoiding the problem of the front end of the windshield tilting upward. Therefore, the problem of obstructed vision caused by the front end of the windshield tilting upward can be avoided, thereby ensuring that the field of vision in the front and lower view is expanded when the windshield is open.

[0007] Therefore, the flip-up windshield connection structure provided in this application can expand the field of vision in both the closed and open states of the windshield by sliding the hinge shaft in the connection hole, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by obstructed vision and effectively improving driving safety.

[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the lower end of the windshield is connected to a second mounting base, on which the hinge shaft is provided.

[0009] By setting a second mounting base, a hinge shaft can be installed on the second mounting base, thereby achieving a corresponding connection between the hinge shaft and the connecting hole.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first mounting base includes: The first plate is detachably connected to the ventilation mounting base; A connecting ring is fixed to the first base plate; the connecting hole is formed on the inner peripheral wall of the connecting ring. The second mounting base includes: The second seat plate is detachably connected to the windshield; A rotating body is fixed on the second base plate, and the hinge shaft is connected to the rotating body.

[0011] The first seat plate is used to connect the connecting ring to the ventilation mounting base, and the second seat plate is used to connect the hinge shaft to the windshield; the detachable connection between the first and second seat plates allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the first and second seat plates.

[0012] For example, there are two connecting rings, which are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the vehicle body; a set of hinge shafts are provided at the left and right ends of the rotating body respectively; The rotating body is positioned between the two connecting rings, and a set of hinge shafts are connected to each connecting ring.

[0013] By setting two connecting rings at intervals, the stability of the connection between the hinge shaft and the connecting hole is increased, and the overall flipping function is not affected by the blockage or damage of the connecting hole.

[0014] For example, the rotating body is adapted to the shape of the outer peripheral wall of the connecting ring, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating body and the connecting ring are coplanar when the windshield is in the closed state and the open state.

[0015] By matching the shape of the rotating body with the shape of the connecting ring, the aesthetics of the connection between the connecting ring and the rotating body are improved, thus enhancing the visual appeal of the vehicle body design.

[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom of the windshield is provided with a rearwardly extending connecting plate, and the second mounting base is detachably connected to the connecting plate.

[0017] This embodiment includes a connecting plate, which enables the connection between the second mounting base and the connecting plate; the detachable connection between the connecting plate and the second mounting base facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the second mounting base.

[0018] In some embodiments, the ventilation mounting base has a forward-protruding first mounting portion, and the first mounting base is detachably connected to the first mounting portion.

[0019] By providing a first mounting part, the connection between the first mounting base and the ventilation mounting base can be realized; the detachable connection between the first mounting base and the first mounting part can facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the first mounting base.

[0020] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the end of the hinge shaft extends through the connecting hole and is provided with a limiting portion; the limiting portion is used to abut against the outer end face of the connecting hole.

[0021] By setting a limiting part, the hinge shaft is limited within the corresponding connection hole, preventing the hinge shaft from dislodging from the connection hole and affecting the connection stability between the windshield and the ventilation mounting bracket.

[0022] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the articulation assembly is provided in multiple sets, and the multiple sets of articulation assemblies are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the vehicle body.

[0023] By setting up multiple sets of hinge components, multi-point connections between the windshield and the ventilation mount are achieved, ensuring the stability of the connection between the windshield and the ventilation mount.

[0024] Secondly, embodiments of this application also provide a vehicle including the aforementioned flip-up windshield connection structure.

[0025] The vehicle provided in this application, having the aforementioned flip-up windshield connection structure, possesses all the beneficial effects of both the aforementioned flip-up windshield connection structure and the vehicle. It can broaden the field of vision of the vehicle's windshield in both closed and open states, avoid safety accidents caused by obstructed vision, and thus effectively improve driving safety.

[0029] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other element. It should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0031] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0032] It should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", "up", and "down" in this embodiment are based on the vehicle's own orientation. The front of the vehicle represents "front", the rear of the vehicle represents "rear", the top of the vehicle represents "up", the bottom of the vehicle represents "down", the "inner" side refers to the side facing the driver's cab, and the "outer" side refers to the side facing the driver's cab.

[0033] In addition, for ease of explanation, the front-rear direction of the vehicle body defined in the embodiments of this application refers to the front-rear direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving, the left-right direction of the vehicle body refers to the left-right direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving, and the up-down direction of the vehicle body refers to the up-down direction of the vehicle's forward direction during driving.

[0034] It is important to understand that, for example, when an off-road vehicle is climbing a hill in harsh conditions, flipping the windshield 2 towards the hood 4 to open the windshield 2 can reduce wind resistance during the climbing process by changing the airflow path. At the same time, reducing wind resistance can also improve fuel efficiency to some extent and help improve the stability of the vehicle during driving. However, in order to ensure the safety of the vehicle during the climbing process, the windshield 2 before and after flipping also has a high standard of downward visibility for the driver.

[0035] In the prior art, when the windshield 2 is closed at the vehicle window frame, in order to ensure the driver's downward vision during driving, the installation position of the windshield 2 needs to be as close to the bottom as possible to avoid rigidly restricting the driver's downward vision. However, after the windshield 2 is flipped, because the hinge position is close to the bottom, the front end of the flipped windshield 2 is raised upward, instead of being laid flat on the hood 4 as in this application. The raised part will actually affect the driver's forward and downward vision.

[0036] Therefore, the windshield 2 flipping mechanism usually requires a high field of vision after flipping. However, when using the traditional windshield 2 flipping mechanism, it cannot meet the actual field of vision requirements. Therefore, in harsh environments, such as when climbing a hill, it will affect the driver's forward and downward field of vision, thus posing a certain safety hazard.

[0037] Additionally, it should be noted that the ventilation mounting bracket 1 is typically installed below the windshield 2 and connected to the hood 4, and its specific structure and connection method are prior art and will not be described further here. Furthermore, the hood 4 referred to in this application refers to the front hood 4 of a vehicle, and the connection structure and principle between the windshield 2 and the vehicle window frame in this application are prior art and will not be described further here.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The present application describes the flip-up windshield connection structure and the vehicle provided. The flip-up windshield connection structure includes a ventilation mounting base 1, a windshield 2, and a hinge assembly 3. The ventilation mounting base 1 is used to connect to the rear end of the hood 4. The upper end of the windshield 2 is detachably connected to the window frame of the vehicle body, and the lower end extends downward at an angle to the rear edge of the ventilation mounting base 1. The hinge assembly 3 includes a hinge shaft 3221 connected to the lower end of the windshield 2 and a first mounting base 31 provided on the ventilation mounting base 1. The first mounting base 31 is provided with a connecting hole 3121 through which the hinge shaft 3221 passes. The hinge shaft 3221 has a degree of freedom to slide in the connecting hole 3121 along a first direction. The first direction is perpendicular to the axial direction of the hinge shaft 3221 and is set at an angle to the front-rear direction. During the process of switching the windshield 2 from a closed state to an open state, the hinge shaft 3221 slides from the bottom to the top of the connecting hole 3121.

[0039] Preferably, the first direction is parallel to the inclined extension direction of the windshield 2; for ease of explanation, the appendix is ​​used in this application. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow A is used to indicate the first direction, that is, the tilting extension direction of the windshield 2 when it is closed. Additionally, this application uses the appendix... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow B is used to indicate the left and right directions of the vehicle body, and an auxiliary arrow is used. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow C is used to indicate the front-to-back direction of the vehicle.

[0040] Specifically, when flipping the windshield 2, the driver needs to manually disconnect the windshield 2 from the vehicle window frame before flipping and sliding it. In this application, the windshield 2 has the action of sliding along a first direction and the action of rotating around the center of the hinge axis 3221. Optionally, the windshield 2 can be slid upward from the lower end of the connecting hole 3121 to the upper end of the connecting hole 3121, and then the windshield 2 can be flipped and laid flat on the hood 4. Optionally, the connecting hole 3121 is now... The lower end of the front windshield 2 is flipped so that it is flipped onto the cover 4. Then, the rear end of the front windshield 2 is slid upward so that the hinge shaft 3221 slides to the upper end of the connecting hole 3121, thereby driving the front windshield 2 to continue to flip until it is laid flat on the cover 4. Alternatively, the above-mentioned rotation and sliding actions are performed simultaneously. While sliding the front windshield 2 upward, the front windshield 2 is rotated to achieve the flatness of the front windshield 2. Specifically, the flipping process of the front windshield 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs of the operator.

[0041] It is important to understand that, to reduce wind resistance at the windshield 2, the windshield 2 extends backward at an angle and has a certain curvature. This curvature means that the windshield 2 is not a flat structure. Therefore, after flipping, there will be a fulcrum on the hood 4, while the rest of the windshield 2 protrudes upward. In conventional technology, the fulcrum of the windshield 2 after flipping is often close to the hinge. However, in this application, after flipping, the rear end of the windshield 2 can be moved upward, thereby moving the fulcrum forward and causing the upward-curved part of the windshield 2 to fall down, avoiding the problem of obstruction.

[0042] Therefore, the statement that the windshield 2 is laid flat on the hood 4 in this application does not mean that the windshield 2 is laid flat on the hood 4. Rather, compared with the prior art where the front end of the windshield 2 is tilted upward, the front end of the windshield 2 in this application is no longer tilted upward to the position that affects the view, and is in a relatively flat state.

[0043] Compared with the prior art, the flip-up windshield connection structure provided in this application allows the hinge shaft 3221 to rotate within the connection hole 3121, causing the hinge shaft 3221 to flip the windshield 2 from the vehicle window frame onto the hood 4. Furthermore, the hinge shaft 3221 can also slide up and down within the connection hole 3121 along a first direction. When the hinge shaft 3221 flips the windshield 2 to a closed state connected to the vehicle window frame, the hinge shaft 3221 is at the lower end of the connection hole 3121, causing the windshield 2 to sink as a whole, thereby reducing the obstruction of the view at the bottom of the windshield 2 and expanding the downward field of vision in the closed state. When the windshield is in the closed state... During the switching to the open state, the hinge shaft slides from the bottom to the top of the connecting hole. When the hinge shaft slides to the top of the connecting hole, the windshield 2 flips onto the hood 4 and is in the open state. Compared with the conventional technology where the position of the hinge shaft 3221 of the windshield 2 remains unchanged, in this application, when the hinge shaft 3221 slides to the top of the connecting hole 3121, the rear end of the windshield 2 slides upward, which makes the front end of the flipped windshield 2 face downward, avoiding the problem of the front end of the windshield 2 tilting upward. Therefore, the problem of obstructed vision caused by the front end of the windshield 2 tilting upward can be avoided, thereby ensuring that the front and lower observation field of view is expanded when the windshield 2 is open.

[0044] Therefore, the flip-up windshield connection structure provided in this application can expand the field of vision of the windshield 2 in both the closed and open states by sliding the hinge shaft 3221 in the connection hole 3121, thereby avoiding safety accidents caused by obstructed vision and effectively improving driving safety.

[0045] In the above embodiments of the system of this application, the first mounting base 31 is connected to the ventilation mounting base 1, and the hinge shaft 3221 is connected to the lower end of the windshield 2. Optionally, as another arrangement of the first mounting base 31 and the hinge shaft 3221, the hinge shaft 3221 is connected to the ventilation mounting base 1, and the first mounting base 31 is disposed at the lower end of the windshield 2, thereby so that the connecting hole 3121 is disposed on the windshield 2.

[0046] In this application, a first mounting base 31 is provided so that a connection hole 3121 is provided on the first mounting base 31.

[0047] For example, to achieve the hinge between the windshield 2 and the ventilation mounting base 1, the aforementioned rotating body 322 can be directly installed at the lower end of the windshield 2, and two hinge shafts 3221 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating body 322; and two sets of the aforementioned connecting rings 312 are directly installed at the upper end of the windshield 2, with the two sets of connecting rings 312 spaced apart along the left and right direction of the vehicle body; and each connecting ring 312 is rotatably connected to one of the aforementioned hinge shafts 3221.

[0048] Specifically, the rotating body 322 is provided with threaded mounting holes that extend through the left and right directions of the vehicle body. One end of each hinge shaft 3221 passes through the corresponding connecting hole 3121 and is screwed into the corresponding threaded mounting hole.

[0049] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the first base plate 311 and the second base plate 321 can be omitted to reduce processing and installation costs. However, at the same time, if the connecting ring 312 or the rotating body 322 is damaged, the windshield 2 and the ventilation mounting base 1 need to be replaced and repaired as a whole.

[0050] Please see Figure 2 In some possible embodiments, the lower end of the windshield 2 is connected to a second mounting base 32, and the second mounting base 32 is provided with a hinge shaft 3221.

[0051] In this application, a second mounting base 32 is provided so that a hinge shaft 3221 can be provided on the second mounting base 32.

[0052] Specifically, the ventilation mounting base 1 has a front side and an upper side that are connected. The first mounting base 31 is disposed on the front side of the ventilation mounting base 1, and the second mounting base 32 is disposed on the upper side of the ventilation mounting base 1. The upper end of the first mounting base 31 is connected to the front end of the second mounting base 32 so that the hinge shaft 3221 is connected in the connecting hole 3121.

[0053] The first mounting base 31 and the second mounting base 32 provided in this embodiment can make the hinge shaft 3221 securely connected in the connection hole 3121, providing a reliable support structure for the rotation and sliding of the windshield 2, ensuring that the windshield 2 can smoothly switch between the closed state and the open state, and maintaining the stability and reliability of the entire connection structure.

[0054] As another specific arrangement of the first mounting base 31 and the second mounting base 32, the ventilation mounting base 1 is provided with a first mounting base 31 on its front side, and a hinge shaft 3221 is connected to the upper end of the first mounting base 31; the ventilation mounting base 1 is provided with a second mounting base 32 on its upper side, and a connecting hole 3121 is provided at the front end of the second mounting base 32; wherein, the upper end of the first mounting base 31 is connected to the front end of the second mounting base 32 so that the hinge shaft 3221 is connected in the connecting hole 3121.

[0055] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments, the first mounting base 31 includes a first base plate 311 and a connecting ring 312; the second mounting base 32 includes a second base plate 321 and a rotating body 322; the first base plate 311 is detachably connected to the ventilation mounting base 1; the connecting ring 312 is fixed to the first base plate 311; the inner peripheral wall of the connecting ring 312 forms a connecting hole 3121; the second base plate 321 is detachably connected to the front windshield 2; the rotating body 322 is fixed to the second base plate 321, and a hinge shaft 3221 is connected to the rotating body 322.

[0056] The first base plate 311 is used to connect the connecting ring 312 to the ventilation mounting base 1, and the second base plate 321 is used to connect the hinge shaft 3221 to the front windshield 2. The detachable connection of the first base plate 311 and the second base plate 321 can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first base plate 311 and the second base plate 321, thereby enabling the inspection, maintenance, and even replacement of the first mounting base 31 and the second mounting base 32.

[0057] It should be noted that the hinge shaft 3221 drives the windshield 2 to rotate and slide up and down through the rotating body 322 and the second seat plate 321; and when the hinge shaft 3221 moves upward, the rotating body 322, the second seat plate 321 and the windshield 2 also move upward; when the hinge shaft 3221 rotates, the rotating body 322, the second seat plate 321 and the windshield 2 also rotate.

[0058] Optionally, the first seat plate 311 is detachably connected to the ventilation mounting base 1 via a first snap-fit ​​structure or a first bolt and nut structure; the second seat plate 321 is detachably connected to the windshield 2 via a second snap-fit ​​structure or a second bolt and nut structure.

[0059] Optionally, an oil reservoir is provided at the bottom of the connecting hole 3121 to store lubricating oil, thereby increasing the flexibility of the hinge shaft 3221 to rotate within the connecting hole 3121.

[0060] For example, as another specific embodiment of the first mounting base 31 and the second mounting base 32, the first mounting base 31 includes a first base plate 311 and a rotating body 322; the second mounting base 32 includes a second base plate 321 and a connecting ring 312; the first base plate 311 is connected to the front side of the ventilation mounting base 1; one end of the first base plate 311 extends upward and is provided with a rotating body 322, and a hinge shaft 3221 is connected to the rotating body 322; the second base plate 321 is detachably connected to the upper side of the ventilation mounting base 1; one end of the second base plate 321 extends forward to the front of the ventilation mounting base 1; the connecting ring 312 is fixed to the extended front end of the second base plate 321; the inner peripheral wall of the connecting ring 312 forms a connecting hole 3121.

[0061] Please see Figure 4For example, there are two connecting rings 312, which are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the vehicle body; a set of hinge shafts 3221 are provided at the left and right ends of the rotating body 322; wherein the rotating body 322 is placed between the two connecting rings 312, and a set of hinge shafts 3221 is connected to each connecting ring 312.

[0062] Since there are two connecting rings 312, and each connecting ring 312 forms a corresponding connecting hole 3121, each group of first mounting base 31 and second mounting base 32 has two corresponding connecting holes 3121, and the two connecting holes 3121 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the vehicle body; a set of hinge shafts 3221 are respectively passed through the two connecting holes 3121 in the same group.

[0063] By setting two connecting rings 312 at intervals, the stability of the connection between the hinge shaft 3221 and the connecting hole 3121 is increased, and the overall flipping function is not affected by the blockage or damage of the connecting hole 3121.

[0064] The other two connecting rings 312 are symmetrically spaced at both ends of the rotating body 322, which makes the two ends of the rotating body 322 symmetrically connected. This helps to achieve force balance of the rotating body 322, increases the stability of the front windshield 2 connection, makes the front windshield 2 more evenly stressed during the flipping process, reduces swaying and offset, and further improves the reliability of the entire connection structure and the smoothness of the front windshield 2 flipping action.

[0065] Please see Figure 4 For example, the shape of the outer peripheral wall of the rotating body 322 is adapted to the shape of the connecting ring 312, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating body 322 and the connecting ring 312 are coplanar when the windshield 2 is in the closed state and the open state.

[0066] By adapting the shape of the rotating body 322 to the shape of the connecting ring 312, the aesthetics of the connection between the connecting ring 312 and the rotating body 322 are improved, thereby enhancing the visual appeal of the vehicle body design.

[0067] In addition, the design of the shape of the rotating body 322 and the connecting ring 312 makes the windshield 2 appear flatter and smoother in different states, avoiding the impact of protruding parts on the overall aesthetics of the vehicle, while also helping to reduce wind resistance and improve the vehicle's aerodynamic performance.

[0068] It should be understood that in this application, the upper and lower ends of the connecting ring 312 are symmetrically arranged with respect to its middle surface in the first direction. Since the shape of the rotating body 322 is adapted to the shape of the connecting ring 312, the rotating body 322 is also a symmetrically arranged structure. In the closed state, the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating body 322 and the connecting ring 312 are coplanar. After the rotating body 322 drives the connecting shaft to slide upward from the lower end of the connecting hole 3121 to the upper end of the connecting hole 3121, the rotating body 322 and the connecting ring 312 are vertically misaligned in the first direction. When the rotating body 322 is rotated with the hinge shaft 3221, the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating body 322 and the connecting ring 312 are coplanar again, so that the connection between the rotating body 322 and the two connecting rings 312 is aesthetically pleasing and has good consistency.

[0069] Optionally, the outer peripheral surfaces of the rotating body 322 and the connecting ring 312 can also be set to a non-coplanar state, i.e., a misaligned state.

[0070] Please see Figure 3 In some embodiments, the bottom of the windshield 2 is provided with a rearwardly extending connecting plate 21, and the second mounting base 32 is detachably connected to the connecting plate 21.

[0071] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 21 is provided, which can realize the connection between the second mounting base 32 and the connecting plate 21; the detachable connection between the connecting plate 21 and the second mounting base 32 can facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the second mounting base 32.

[0072] Similarly, the detachable connection between the second mounting base 32 and the connecting plate 21 facilitates the connection and separation of the windshield 2 and the second mounting base 32, making it easier to perform individual maintenance, cleaning or replacement operations on the windshield 2. At the same time, it makes the windshield 2 more stable and reliable during installation and disassembly, and will not affect its normal use and function due to unstable connection.

[0073] Specifically, to facilitate the connection of the second mounting base 32, a recessed mounting space is provided on the top of the ventilation mounting base 1. The second mounting plate 321 is located in the corresponding mounting space, which can facilitate the lowering of the second mounting base 32 and avoid affecting the installation height of the windshield 2.

[0074] Multiple threaded holes are correspondingly provided on the connecting plate 21 and the second mounting base 32. The connecting plate 21 and the second mounting base 32 are detachably connected by threaded fasteners such as screws, bolts, and nuts. Specifically, the number of threaded holes can be set to four, and the four threaded holes are staggered front to back, with the two middle threaded holes placed on the front side and the two outer threaded holes placed on the rear side, so as to distribute the force and avoid stress concentration. It should be understood that the number and position of the threaded holes can be selectively set according to actual needs.

[0075] Please see Figure 5 In some embodiments, the ventilation mounting base 1 is provided with a first mounting portion 11 protruding forward, and the first mounting base 31 is detachably connected to the first mounting portion 11.

[0076] By providing the first mounting part 11, the connection between the first mounting base 31 and the ventilation mounting base 1 is realized; the detachable connection between the first mounting base 31 and the first mounting part 11 makes it convenient to replace and repair the first mounting base 31.

[0077] Optionally, a reinforcing rib may be provided on the inner side of the ventilation mounting base 1 away from the first mounting base 31 to enhance the connection strength of the first mounting part 11.

[0078] Preferably, the first mounting part 11 and the first mounting base 31 are respectively provided with multiple threaded holes, and the first mounting part 11 and the first mounting base 31 are detachably connected by threaded fasteners such as screws, bolts, and nuts. Specifically, the number of multiple threaded holes can be set to four, and the four threaded holes are staggered vertically, with the two threaded holes in the middle placed at the top and the two threaded holes on the outside placed at the bottom, so as to distribute the force and avoid stress concentration. It should be understood that the number and position of the threaded holes can be selectively set according to actual needs.

[0079] It should be understood that the detachable connection method facilitates the installation and removal of the first mounting base 31, thereby allowing for the adjustment or replacement of relevant components as needed. This makes maintenance, repair, or upgrades more convenient and faster, improving the maintainability and flexibility of the product.

[0080] Please see Figure 4 In some possible embodiments, the end of the hinge shaft 3221 extends through the connection hole 3121 and is provided with a limiting part 3222, which is used to abut against the outer end face of the connection hole 3121.

[0081] By setting the limiting part 3222, the hinge shaft 3221 is limited within the corresponding connecting hole 3121, so as to prevent the hinge shaft 3221 from disengaging from the connecting hole 3121 and affecting the connection stability between the windshield 2 and the ventilation mounting base 1.

[0082] In the above embodiment, a set of hinge shafts 3221 are provided at both ends of the rotating body 322. One end of the hinge shaft 3221 is connected to the rotating body 322, and the other end is provided with the aforementioned limiting part 3222 to limit the hinge shaft 3221. Specifically, each hinge shaft 3221 has a limiting part 3222 at its end. The limiting part 3222 can be selected as a shaft segment with a shaft diameter larger than that of the hinge shaft 3221, i.e., a limiting shaft segment.

[0083] Furthermore, to enable the installation of the hinge shaft 3221 with the rotating body 322 and the connecting hole 3121, the hinge shaft 3221 can be screwed into the rotating body 322, that is, the hinge shaft 3221 and the rotating body 322 are threadedly connected; specifically, the rotating body 322 is provided with a threaded mounting hole that runs through the left and right direction of the vehicle body, one end of each hinge shaft 3221 is provided with the aforementioned limiting part 3222, and the other end passes through the corresponding connecting hole 3121 and is screwed into the corresponding threaded mounting hole.

[0084] It should be understood that the limiting part 3222 can limit the sliding position of the hinge shaft 3221 in the connecting hole 3121, ensuring that the hinge shaft 3221 will not exceed the specified range during the sliding process, ensuring the positional accuracy of the windshield 2 in the closed and open states, avoiding the failure of the connection structure or the windshield 2 failing to work properly due to excessive sliding of the hinge shaft 3221, and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the entire connection structure.

[0085] For example, the limiting part 3222 can also be in the form of a protrusion, a retaining ring, etc., to limit the position of the hinge shaft 3221 within the connecting hole 3121.

[0086] In some possible embodiments, multiple sets of hinge components 3 are provided, and the multiple sets of hinge components 3 are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the vehicle body.

[0087] By setting multiple sets of hinge components 3, multi-point connection between the windshield 2 and the ventilation mounting base 1 can be achieved, ensuring the connection stability between the windshield 2 and the ventilation mounting base 1.

[0088] In this embodiment, by providing more connection points, the connection strength between the windshield 2 and the ventilation mounting base 1 is further enhanced, making the windshield 2 more stable during the flipping process, reducing the risk of deformation or damage caused by single-point force, and improving the reliability and durability of the entire flipping windshield connection structure.

[0089] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a vehicle including the above-described flip-up windshield connection structure.

[0090] The vehicle provided in this application, having the aforementioned flip-up windshield connection structure, possesses all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned flip-up windshield connection structure and the vehicle. It can broaden the field of vision of the vehicle's windshield 2 in both closed and open states, avoid safety accidents caused by obstructed vision, and thus effectively improve the safety of the driving process.

[0091] It should be understood that the vehicle provided in this application can broaden the field of vision of the vehicle's windshield 2 in both closed and open states. In special circumstances, such as high-speed driving, off-road driving, or climbing hills, it can effectively improve the vehicle's performance and driving experience, and enhance the vehicle's competitiveness.

[0092] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
