It should be noted that the two driving members 3 must be rotated synchronously and at the same rotation speed, so as to prevent the lower guard 1 from jamming during lifting due to the unsynchronization of the two driving members 3.
In some alternative embodiments, the lifting assembly 2 may also be a hydraulic telescopic rod.
In some alternative embodiments, the racks 22 are provided on opposite side walls of the two vertical beams 21, the gears 23 are correspondingly provided with two, the driving member 3 comprises a worm 31, a turbine 32 and a driving motor 33, and two ends of the worm 31 are respectively provided with threads; two worm gears 32 coaxially connected to the gear 23, respectively, the worm gears 32 being screwed to the worm gears 31; the output end of the driving motor 33 is connected with the worm 31 to drive the worm 31 to rotate and drive the two gears 23 to synchronously rotate.

Preferably, the reinforcing ribs 251 have a triangular structure.
In some alternative embodiments, the open end of the guide 24 is further provided with a downwardly extending extension plate, which is connected to the support 25, and the connection is also provided with triangular reinforcing ribs 251.
According to the requirements of front lower protection of commercial vehicles, the lower protection collision needs to meet the targets that the P1 point is more than or equal to 80KN and the P2 point is more than or equal to 160 KN. As shown in FIG. 5, in the height-adjustable lower protection structure, through CAE (ComputerAided Engineering, analysis and calculation in engineering design and analysis simulation) collision analysis, the P1 point bearing capacity is 111.3KN, and the P2 point bearing capacity is 383.2KN, so that the requirement of the legal collision strength can be met.
Therefore, although the lower guard 1 can be lifted in the vehicle height direction and is movably connected with the vehicle body structure 4, the connection stability of the lower guard 1 and the vehicle body structure 4 can be enhanced by the arrangement of the structures such as the shell 332, the guide cylinder 24, the support 25 and the guide support 27, so that the lower guard 1 still has higher bearing capacity when being impacted transversely, the safety performance meets and is higher than the national standard, and the lower guard is suitable for popularization and use.

In some alternative embodiments, a guiding support 27 is further disposed below the support 25, and the guiding support 27 includes a guiding plate 271 and a supporting plate 272 perpendicular to each other, so as to form an L-shaped structure. The opening of the guide support 27 is directed to the lower guard 1 so that the lower guard 1 is positioned at one side of the guide plate 271 and moves on a plane where the guide plate 271 is positioned, and the housing 332 is placed on the support plate 272.
It will be appreciated that the guide support 27 further increases the stability of the connection of the lower guard mechanism to the vehicle body structure, while also limiting displacement of the lower guard 1 in the horizontal direction.
In some alternative embodiments, a plurality of ribs 251 are provided between the support 25 and the outer wall of the guide cylinder 24.
It will be appreciated that the reinforcement rib 251 serves to reinforce the connection stability of the support bracket 25 and the guide cylinder 24, and to support and reinforce the lower shield 1 when it is subjected to a front horizontal rearward collision force, ensuring that the legal collision strength requirements are met.
Preferably, the reinforcing ribs 251 have a triangular structure.
In some alternative embodiments, the open end of the guide 24 is further provided with a downwardly extending extension plate, which is connected to the support 25, and the connection is also provided with triangular reinforcing ribs 251.
According to the requirements of front lower protection of commercial vehicles, the lower protection collision needs to meet the targets that the P1 point is more than or equal to 80KN and the P2 point is more than or equal to 160 KN. As shown in FIG. 5, in the height-adjustable lower protection structure, through CAE (ComputerAided Engineering, analysis and calculation in engineering design and analysis simulation) collision analysis, the P1 point bearing capacity is 111.3KN, and the P2 point bearing capacity is 383.2KN, so that the requirement of the legal collision strength can be met.
Therefore, although the lower guard 1 can be lifted in the vehicle height direction and is movably connected with the vehicle body structure 4, the connection stability of the lower guard 1 and the vehicle body structure 4 can be enhanced by the arrangement of the structures such as the shell 332, the guide cylinder 24, the support 25, the guide support 27, the reinforcing ribs 251 and the like, so that the lower guard 1 still has higher bearing capacity when being impacted transversely, the safety performance meets and is higher than the national standard, and the lower guard is suitable for popularization and use.
The working principle of the embodiment of the application is as follows: when the driving motor 33 is started, the output end of the driving motor 33 is reversed, the intermediate gear 311 engaged with the driving motor is rotated clockwise, and simultaneously, both ends (left side and right side) of the worm 31 are driven to rotate clockwise, the worm wheel 32 engaged with the worm 31 is rotated counterclockwise, and the gear 23 and the worm wheel 32 are rotated counterclockwise synchronously, so that the vertical beam 21 fixed with the rack 22 is driven to move upward, and the height of the lower guard 1 is raised accordingly. Conversely, when the down button is pressed, the height of the lower guard 1 is lowered.
According to the height-adjustable lower protection structure and the vehicle, the lifting assembly 2 is lifted relative to the vehicle body structure 4, so that the ground clearance of the lower protection piece 1 is adjusted, and the trafficability of the whole vehicle is improved; the worm 31 is driven to rotate by a driving motor 33, so that the two vertical beams 21 at the two ends of the worm 31 can be driven to synchronously lift; the worm 31 is meshed with the worm wheel 32, so that the rotation of the transverse rotation shaft of the worm 31 is changed into the rotation of the longitudinal rotation shaft of the worm wheel 32, the worm wheel 32 can only be driven by the worm 31 to rotate, the worm wheel 32 cannot reversely drive the worm 31 to rotate, the unidirectional transmission ensures the automatic locking of the lower protection piece 1 at any height position, and the safety of the lower protection piece 1 is improved; by providing the guide support 27, the connection stability of the lower protection mechanism and the vehicle body structure is further increased, and the displacement of the lower protection member 1 in the horizontal direction is also restricted; through the setting of structures such as casing 332, guide cylinder 24, support 25 and direction support 27, can strengthen the connection stability of lower guard 1 and body structure 4 for lower guard 1 still has higher bearing capacity when receiving horizontal striking, and the security performance satisfies and is higher than national standard, is fit for using widely.
