Description

CAR

(options)

The invention relates to the automotive industry, namely, to the layout of the elements of the body, interior space, aggregates and equipment of a power-driven vehicle having at least four wheels that are not on the same line, driven by one or more types of engine and usually used for transportation on roads people and goods.

In modern conditions, residents of large cities are increasingly suffering from high traffic and lack of parking spaces. A possible solution to these problems could be to reduce the overall length of cars, however, many car owners prefer cars containing more than two seats, which for vehicles with a bonnet configuration turns into a significant overall length, and for cars with a low layout, passive safety and insufficient body rigidity in areas the location of the seats for the driver and passengers due to the fact that in the front of the body of such vehicles there is one or more door mov to access the driver and passengers in the car.

So, from the prior art, a car with a short overall length is known, comprising a body mounted on four wheels, in which seats for the driver and passengers are located, doorways of which are located in the side walls of the car body, and units and equipment that ensure the functioning of the car are located in space formed between the body and the floor of the passenger compartment (see W09628336, class B62D 31/00, publ. 09/19/1996). A disadvantage of the known device is the presence in the side walls of the car body of doorways in the areas of the seats for the driver and passengers, which negatively affects the rigidity of the body in these areas and the passive safety of the car.

These drawbacks are deprived of the car, the only doorway of which is intended for access by the driver and passengers, made in the rear wall of the car body, and along the central longitudinal axis of the car body there is a passage that allows the driver and passengers to move from the doorway to the seats installed on the sides of the specified passage and behind the axis of the front wheels of the car, while the car engine is located on the side of the specified passage under one or more seats (published on those http://www.labcreaterics.com/car/, according to web.archive.org, information is available from 12.24.2013: http://web.archive.Org/web/20131224013921/http://labcreaterics. com / car /).

The disadvantage of this known device, which reduces the degree of its positive effect on reducing traffic congestion and reducing problems with lack of parking spaces in large cities, is the increased overall length of the car in a configuration containing more than two seats, in which the passenger seat is installed behind the seat for the driver, so that the negative consequences of dynamic loads on the human body in case of possible frontal emergency collisions a t o be minimal, namely the backrest for the passenger is perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the car body. The increased overall length of the car in this configuration is due to the location of the driver's seat behind the wheel arch of the wheel protruding above the floor of the car the front axle of the car and the need to allocate space for the legs of the passenger, located behind the driver's seat.

The objective of the invention is to remedy this drawback. The technical result consists in reducing the overall length of the car, containing more than two seats, with an increased level of passive safety and rigidity of the car body in the areas of the seats for the driver and passengers due to the optimal placement of seats for the driver and passengers, as well as expanding the arsenal of technical equipment.

The problem is solved, and the technical result is achieved by the fact that the proposed car according to the first embodiment contains aggregates and equipment that ensure the functioning of the car, as well as a four-wheel body, in which behind the axis of the front wheels of the car seats are placed for the driver and passengers, moreover, the car body has only one doorway for access for the driver and passengers to the car, and it is made in the rear wall of the car body, and along the central longitudinal axis of the body is located a passage is provided that allows the driver and passengers to move from the doorway to the seats located in the car, while the passenger seats are located on the sides of the specified passage, the driver’s seat is located on the central longitudinal axis of the body closer to the axis of the front wheels than the passenger seats and the car’s engine is located in the technical compartment, located on the side of the specified passage under the passenger seat.

In addition, technical compartments can also be located on the side of the driver's seat to accommodate large-sized equipment and units that ensure the functioning of the car. The problem is solved, and the technical result is achieved by the fact that the proposed car according to the second embodiment contains units and equipment that ensure the functioning of the car, as well as a four-wheel body, in which behind the axis of the front wheels of the car seats are placed for the driver and passengers, moreover, the car body has only one doorway for access for the driver and passengers to the car, and it is made in the rear wall of the car body, and along the central longitudinal axis of the body is located a passage is provided that allows the driver and passengers to move from the doorway to the seats located in the car, while the passenger seats are located on the sides of the specified passage, the driver’s seat is located on the central longitudinal axis of the body closer to the axis of the front wheels than the passenger seats , and the car’s engine is located in the technical compartment located on the side of the driver’s seat.

To accommodate large-sized equipment and units that ensure the functioning of the car, technical compartments can also be located under the passenger seats.

The driver's seat and the passenger seat are set so that the backs of these seats are perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the car body. The car can be equipped with an additional folding seat for the passenger, which is displayed in the free space inside the car body, located on the side of the driver's seat. It is advisable to carry out the car body with a solid safety cage consisting of rigidly connected elements. It is advisable to equip the doorway in the car body with a door, which can be made movable or swinging, single or double. The largest window openings of the body are advisable equip with devices providing the possibility of their use as emergency exits. The car can be equipped with front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. It is advisable to provide technical compartments with ventilation holes in the side walls of the body.

In special cases, the roll cage 1 1 can be integrated into the car body 1 (Fig. . 7), which has a rigid connection of the elements and is made of materials that can ensure high characteristics of maintaining the integrity of the car body in the areas of installation of seats for the driver and passengers in a collision with other cars or fixed obstacles. To ensure rapid evacuation of the driver and passengers from the car in the event of an accident, window openings are equipped with devices that can be used as emergency exits (not shown in the drawings). The doorway 2 is made in the rear wall of the body 1, and in special cases it is equipped with a door 7, the height of which for ease of access for passengers and the driver into the car can be one hundred eighty centimeters. From the doorway 2 along the central longitudinal axis of the car body is the passage 9, which allows the driver and passengers to move from the doorway 2 to the seats installed in the car body behind the axis of the front wheels of the car.

At least two seats for passengers 8 are installed in the body of the proposed vehicle on the sides of the passage 9, and the driver’s seat 6 is located on the central longitudinal axis of the body, closer to the axis of the front wheels than the seats for passengers 8. and seats for passengers 8 are arranged so that the backs of these seats are perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the car body.

The proposed car in private cases may include a folding additional seat for the passenger 10 (Fig. 1, 5), which in the unfolded state is located and fixed in free space inside the car on the side of the driver's seat 6.

Passage space 9 can be used to carry luggage. To accommodate large-sized equipment and units that ensure the functioning of the car, technical compartments 5 (Fig. 2, 3, 4, 6) with ventilation holes (not shown) are located under the seats for passengers 8 or on the side of the seats for the driver 6 side walls of the body. In order to reduce the overall length of the proposed car, in the first embodiment, its engine 4 is located in the technical compartment 5, located on the side of the passage 9, under the seat for the passenger 8 (Fig. 3, 4), and in the second embodiment, in the technical compartment 5, located on the side of the driver’s seat 6 (FIG. 6). The seating levels for passengers 8, in relation to the floor level of the passage 9, are raised to heights sufficient to accommodate the technical compartments 5 under them.

The external overall width of the proposed car, taking into account the width of the external rear-view mirrors, allows it to be used on existing roads and for a special case of a car containing two seats for passengers is two hundred and sixteen centimeters with an external overall length of the car, which contributes to reduced congestion and increased efficiency parking spaces equal to two hundred and fifty centimeters, as well as the external overall height of the vehicle, allowing use underground car parks equal to two hundred and ten centimeters. At the same time, for the comfort of the driver and passengers, the height from floor to ceiling in the aisle 9 reaches one hundred eighty centimeters, and the seats for passengers are installed in car, so that the negative consequences of dynamic loads on the human body in case of possible frontal emergency collisions of the car are minimal.

The proposed car in particular cases of execution may have a drive (not shown in the drawings) to the front wheels, or to the rear wheels, or to the front and rear wheels at the same time.

Landing in the proposed car, if it has a folding additional seat for passenger 10 (Fig. 1, 5), if necessary, is used as follows: first, through the doorway 2 in the rear wall of the body 1, the driver enters the car, which moves freely to his seat on the aisle 9 and occupies it, then one of the passengers enters the car through the doorway 2, moves unhindered along the aisle 9 to the folded folding additional seat for the passenger 10, fold out it is fixed on the side of the driver’s seat 6, after which it takes this folding additional seat for passenger 10, then the remaining passengers enter the car through the doorway 2 one by one, who freely move along the passage 9 to the seats for passengers 8 located on the sides of the passage 9, and occupy them. Disembarkation of passengers and driver occurs in the reverse order. Landing in the proposed car, equipped with a folding additional seat for the passenger, if it is not necessary to use it, or in the proposed car without folding additional seats for passengers, occurs in the following order: first, through the doorway 2 in the rear wall of the body 1, the driver enters the car, moves unhindered to its seat along passage 9 and occupies it, then the remaining passengers, one by one, enter the doorway 2 one by one, who freely move along passage 9 to the seats for passengers 8 located on the sides of passage 9, and occupy them. Disembarkation of passengers and driver occurs in the reverse order.

Due to the possibility of unobstructed placement of the driver's seat in closer proximity to the front wall of the car body than if it is located behind the front axle wheel protruding above the floor of the wheel arch, there is no seat directly behind the driver’s seat for the passenger and the need for additional space for his legs and also due to the placement of the engine in the technical compartment of the vehicle, located on the side of the passage under the passenger seat, or in the technical compartment vehicle located on the side of the driver's seat, which is possible due to the sufficient width and height of the body, the proposed car has a reduced overall length when installing seats for passengers in such a way that the negative consequences of dynamic loads on the human body in case of frontal emergency collisions of the car are minimal . At the same time, the accommodation conditions for the driver and passengers do not worsen, because the passage located in the car along the central longitudinal axis of the body provides the necessary space inside the car and convenient access to seats from a single doorway made in the car body.

The invention, when implemented, by reducing the overall length of the car with sufficient passenger capacity, will reduce the congestion of public roads, improve the situation with car parking in large cities and at the same time maintain comfort and safety for the driver and passengers.
