Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of all-terrain vehicle technology, and in particular to a front hood assembly for all-terrain vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles capable of traversing any terrain, their most notable feature being their ability to move freely across terrains where ordinary vehicles struggle. As specialized vehicles integrating practicality, recreation, and sports, ATVs can operate on various complex surfaces such as beaches, grasslands, mountain roads, and tourist areas. They are widely used in outdoor operations, leisure activities, transportation, ceremonial purposes, fire patrols, and military defense. Currently, ATVs typically feature a flip-up or bolted-on front hood to conceal components and facilitate disassembly and maintenance. However, when a front rack is installed on the hood, it creates difficulties in opening, closing, and assembling the hood's central section.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN117657314A, published on March 8, 2024, entitled "All-Terrain Vehicle," includes: a frame; a body panel; a running gear; a first bracket, which rotates around a first rotating part and is connected to the frame; and a second bracket, which rotates around a second rotating part and is connected to the frame. The body panel also includes a cover plate, which is at least partially disposed on the front side of the frame. The first and second brackets have a first state and a second state relative to the cover plate; when the first and second brackets are in the first state, they are close to the cover plate; when the first and second brackets are in the second state, they are away from the cover plate.

[0004] The drawback of existing patents is that the front hood of existing all-terrain vehicles has a flip-up or bolted-locked middle section, used to cover parts and facilitate disassembly and maintenance. When a front rack is installed on the front hood, it causes difficulties in opening, closing, and disassembling the middle section of the front hood. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to improve the problem of difficulty in opening, closing, disassembling and assembling the front hood intermediate part of existing all-terrain vehicles due to the influence of the front rack, and to provide a front hood assembly for all-terrain vehicles that is easy to open, close, disassemble and assemble.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A front hood assembly for an all-terrain vehicle includes a front hood with a sliding cover. The sliding cover is slidably fastened to the front hood along the length of the vehicle body. The front hood has a locking hole, and the sliding cover has a hook that slides into the locking hole along the length of the vehicle body. A resilient insertion hole is located at the front end of the front hood, and a plug-in on the sliding cover engages with the resilient insertion hole. This all-terrain vehicle front hood assembly features a sliding cover in the middle of the front hood, slidably fastened to the front hood along the length of the vehicle body. The sliding cover is installed and removed by sliding along the length of the vehicle body, improving the layout of the front rack placed on the front hood and preventing the front rack from being supported too high on the front hood, thus avoiding collision with the rotating flip-up mechanism. The sliding cover is slidably fastened to the front hood along the length of the vehicle body. The hook on the sliding cover inserts into the locking hole on the front hood, vertically limiting the sliding cover. Simultaneously, the plug-in is horizontally inserted into the resilient locking hole, horizontally limiting the sliding cover. The resilient insertion hole enables quick insertion and removal of the plug-in. The sliding cover in this technical solution is compactly arranged on the front hood, meeting the requirements for front and rear disassembly and assembly, achieving efficient disassembly and assembly, and has a stable structure.

[0007] Preferably, the front hood is provided with two grooved slide rails, and the locking holes are located at the bottom of the grooved slide rails. The two sides of the sliding cover are slidably fastened into the grooved slide rails so that the hooks can be engaged in the locking holes and the plugs can be inserted into the elastic insertion holes. The two sides of the sliding cover slide and are fastened in the corresponding grooved slide rails. The hooks are placed on the two sides of the sliding cover along the length of the vehicle body, and the hooks are set towards the rear end of the vehicle body.

[0008] Preferably, the inner wall of the grooved slide rail is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions, which are distributed along the length of the grooved slide rail, and the two sides of the sliding cover are limited on the limiting protrusions. The limiting protrusions are located on the inner wall of the grooved slide rail near the outer side of the vehicle body, and when the sliding cover is fastened on the front hood, the edges of the sliding cover are limited on the limiting protrusions.

[0009] Preferably, the hook is a figure-eight hook, which includes a horizontal part and a connecting part. The connecting part connects the horizontal part and the inner side of the sliding cover. The horizontal part is inserted into the card hole and slidably fastened in the card hole.

[0010] Preferably, the locking holes are distributed along the length of the groove slide rail. The length of the locking holes extends along the length of the vehicle body, and the width of the locking holes gradually decreases from the front end to the rear end of the vehicle body. The front end of the locking holes widens outward toward the outside of the vehicle body, facilitating the insertion and sliding of the locking hook within the locking holes.

[0011] Preferably, the resilient insertion hole includes an insertion hole located at the front end of the front hood and a rubber ring placed inside the insertion hole. The rubber ring has limiting portions at both its front and rear ends to confine it within the insertion hole. The inner end of the insert is inserted into the rubber ring and confined by the limiting portions. The rubber ring facilitates quick insertion and removal of the insert within the insertion hole. The rubber ring is pressed into the insertion hole and confined by the front and rear limiting portions.

[0012] Preferably, the front end of the hood has a slot, and the inner side of the front end of the sliding cover has a buckle that engages with the slot. The buckle is inserted laterally into the slot and engages, thus laterally limiting the sliding cover on the hood.

[0013] Preferably, the front hood, located inside the front edge of the sliding cover, has a recessed clearance groove. The clearance groove and the front edge of the sliding cover together form a recessed handle, facilitating the removal of the sliding cover.

[0014] Preferably, the sliding cover has a fastening element on the inner side of its rear end edge that engages with the lower edge of the instrument panel. The instrument panel is located at the rear end of the front hood, and the sliding cover has a fastening element on the inner side of its rear end edge that engages with the lower edge of the instrument panel, thus limiting the sliding cover's position on all four sides.

[0015] Preferably, there are two resilient insertion holes, symmetrically distributed at the front end of the hood. This ensures a stable fastening structure.

[0016] Therefore, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: the sliding cover is installed and removed by sliding along the length of the vehicle body, which improves the layout of the front rack placed on the front hood, so that the front rack does not need to be supported too high on the front hood to avoid collision with the middle part of the rotating flip cover; the sliding cover is compactly arranged on the front hood, realizing the front and rear disassembly and assembly needs, achieving efficient disassembly and assembly, and structural stability.

[0026] All-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are vehicles capable of traversing any terrain, their most notable feature being their ability to move freely on terrains where ordinary vehicles struggle. As specialized vehicles integrating practicality, entertainment, and sports, ATVs can operate on various complex surfaces such as beaches, grasslands, mountain roads, and tourist areas. They are widely used in outdoor operations, leisure activities, transportation, ceremonial purposes, fire patrols, and military defense. Currently, the front hood of ATVs is either flip-up or bolted to the front of the vehicle to cover components and facilitate disassembly and maintenance. However, the presence of a front rack on the hood creates difficulties in opening, closing, and assembling the front hood assembly. To address this issue, a more convenient front hood assembly for ATVs is proposed.

[0027] One example of an all-terrain vehicle hood assembly described in the above embodiments is, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, a sliding cover is installed in the middle of the front hood, sliding along the length of the vehicle body. The cover slides along the length of the vehicle body for installation and removal, improving the layout of the front rack placed on the hood and preventing the front rack from being supported too high on the hood, thus avoiding collision with the rotating flip-up cover's intermediate components. The sliding cover slides into the hood along the length of the vehicle body, and the hooks on the cover insert into the locking holes on the hood, vertically limiting the sliding cover. Simultaneously, the insert is horizontally inserted into a flexible locking hole, horizontally limiting the sliding cover. The flexible insertion hole enables quick insertion and removal of the insert. The sliding cover in this technical solution is compactly arranged on the front hood, meeting the needs of front and rear disassembly and assembly, achieving efficient disassembly and assembly, and maintaining structural stability.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the front hood has two grooved slide rails, with locking holes located at the bottom of the grooved slide rails. Sliding hooks on both sides of the sliding cover are inserted into the grooved slide rails, allowing the hooks to engage with the locking holes and the inserts to be inserted into the elastic insertion holes. In the above embodiment, an all-terrain vehicle front hood assembly features a sliding cover that slides along the length of the vehicle body in the middle of the front hood. The sliding cover is installed and removed by sliding along the length of the vehicle body, improving the layout of the front rack placed on the front hood and preventing the front rack from being supported too high on the front hood, thus avoiding collision with the rotating flip-up cover's intermediate components. The sliding cover slides along the length of the vehicle body into the front hood, with hooks on the sliding cover inserting into the locking holes on the front hood to vertically limit the sliding cover's position. Simultaneously, the inserts are horizontally inserted into the elastic locking holes to horizontally limit the sliding cover's position. The elastic insertion holes enable quick insertion and removal of the inserts. The sliding cover in this technical solution is compactly arranged on the front hood, meeting the needs of front and rear disassembly and assembly, achieving efficient disassembly and assembly, and possessing a stable structure.
