    Abstract: An off road vehicle has an air heater with right and left shells surrounding and supporting a core, with the right and left shells connected by screws extending through ears on one of the shells into bosses on the other shell. Dual air control plates are mounted in the shell on a shaft for pivoting movement. An actuator is linked to the shaft by a swing arm with a guide pin riding in an arced slot of a drive plate rotationally secured to the shaft. The right and left shells are secured to the vehicle using a resilient compressible grommet, with a bushing extending through the grommet and a bolt extending through the bushing and attached into the frame.

    Abstract: A hydraulic control valve for an ATV or motorcycle takes hydraulic input from a hand brake lever as an input to a first cavity of the control valve with a movable piston therein, and from a foot brake lever as an input to a second cavity of the control valve with a movable piston therein, with the two pistons being linked. A bypass channel extends around the piston in the first cavity, which is closed off when the first piston moves longitudinally. The output of the first cavity hydraulically controls braking of the front wheel(s). The foot brake lever also pressurizes a direct line to brake the rear wheel(s) that doesn't go through the control valve.

    Abstract: The invention provides a type of all-terrain vehicle seat installation structure; it includes the cab frame and the seat backrest arranged on the frame; the back mounting side of the seat backrest includes the first mounting part and the second mounting part arranged up and down respectively. The first mounting part includes the upper support frame located at the upper end of the frame; the installation hole is arranged on the upper support frame; the installation pin inserted into the installation hole is extended out of the seat backrest. The second mounting part includes the lower support frame located at the lower end of the frame; the lower end of the seat backrest is provided with the installation buckle mounted on the lower support frame. The top of the seat backrest is limited by the installation pin being inserted into the installation hole; the seat backrest is supported by the bottom installation buckle; the top of the seat backrest is limited by the inserting installation structure of the installation pin and the installation hole to avoid the seat backrest moving up and down on the frame, so the stability of the seat installation structure of the all-terrain vehicle is improved. The invention also provides a type of all-terrain vehicle provided with the seat installation structure of the all-terrain vehicle as described above.

    Abstract: A swing arm type suspension for a rear wheel of an off road vehicle can use two or three tie rods to control toe-in of the knuckle. The rear end of the swing arm is split between an upper clamping arm and a lower clamping arm defining an eye, with the knuckle connected to the upper and lower clamping arms by joint bearings, and with either the transmission shaft or one of the tie rods extending through the eye of the swing arm to the knuckle. The front of the swing arm can be connected to the vehicle frame using a cross-shaft joint. Camber, toe-in and half-track width are controlled to result in a smaller turning radius with better ride characteristics.

    Abstract: A drive shaft is formed by welding two spline shaft heads to a hollow middle section of tubing. The spline shaft head includes teeth which are crowned to permit an angular offset of the drive shaft relative to cylindrical splines of connectors, such that the end faces of the teeth define a barrel shape. The teeth of the spline shaft head include a side face curvature, defining a football-shaped tooth cross-section. Torque is rotationally transmitted across a permitted angular offset of the drive shaft relative to cylindrically arranged linear splines of drive and driven connectors (i.e., relative to the engine output axis of rotation and the differential input axis of rotation), thereby avoiding the use of prior art universal joints.

    Abstract: A transmission mechanism of an all-terrain vehicle is provided, which includes an independent suspension axle. The independent suspension axle includes a left driving half-axle and a right driving half-axle. A jaw differential is provided at a joint of the left driving half-axle and the right driving half-axle and is configured to allow half-axles at two sides to rotate at different speeds when the axle of the all-terrain vehicle transmits power to the half-axles at the two sides, and prevent a wheel at one side from slipping. For the all-terrain vehicle adopting the jaw differential, side tipping, side slipping, and tire scuffing are not apt to occur, thus the vehicle may get rid of stuck conditions such as slipping, and the working reliability of the all-terrain vehicle is improved. An all-terrain vehicle adopting the transmission mechanism is further provided.

    Abstract: A hybrid power train structure for off-road vehicles (ATVs, UTVs and SSVs) uses an internal combustion engine (“ICE”) rotating a crankshaft through a continuously variable transmission (“CVT”) as a primary source of locomotion torque, but also includes a driving/generator motor which, in certain established conditions, can either provide an additional or alternative source of locomotion torque or can harvest electricity from the torque created by the internal combustion engine. The driving/generator motor is an axial flux motor of small size for its relative torque output, which can either be directly coupled to the CVT output shaft or, when additionally used as a starter motor for the ICE in an automatic ICE starting and stopping routine.
