DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The following will provide further detailed explanations of the present disclosure in combination with specific embodiments, but the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to this.

Embodiment

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a folding wind deflector with a storage chamber for the golf cart of the present disclosure includes an upper baffle 1, a lower baffle 4, and a storage chamber. Specifically, the lower baffle 4 is hinged with the upper baffle 1 through a hinge 3, allowing the upper baffle 1 to flip up and down. That is, the upper baffle 1 can stand on the lower baffle 4 or flip down to fold the upper baffle 1 onto the lower baffle 4. One end of the hinge 3 is fixed to the lower baffle 4 with adhesive, the other end is fixed to the upper baffle 1 with adhesive. When in use, the lower baffle 4 and upper baffle 1 are installed on a bracket in front of the golf cart. In order to facilitate the folding and installation of the wind deflector, and to render the folding, installation, and disassembly of the wind deflector more convenient, more than one set of magnetic connectors are provided on both the upper baffle 1 and the lower baffle 4.

Each set of magnetic connectors consists of two magnetic blocks 2. The two magnetic blocks 2 are symmetrically provided at two ends of upper baffle 1 and lower baffle 4, respectively. When installing, the magnetic blocks 2 on the upper baffle 1 and lower baffle 4 are simply attached to the bracket in front of the golf cart to quickly complete the installation of an entire windshield. But when it is necessary to fold the upper baffle 1 onto the lower baffle 4, the upper baffle 1 is simply pulled to detach the magnetic block 2 on the upper baffle 1 from the bracket in front of the golf cart, the upper baffle 1 is quickly folded onto the lower baffle 4. After folding the upper baffle 1, as shown in FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the upper baffle 1 and lower baffle 4 are both prioritized to be implemented using transparent PC plates with scratch resistance, while the hinge 3 is prioritized to be a soft hinge. In actual use, the upper baffle 1 and lower baffle 4 can also be implemented using other transparent plates as needed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the storage chamber is provided at the lower end of the front panel surface of the lower baffle 4. The storage chamber is composed of a horizontal chamber plate 8 and two vertical chamber plates 6. The two vertical chamber plates 6 are symmetrically and vertically fixed on the front panel surface of the lower baffle 4, a gap is formed between the two vertical chamber plates 6. During installation, the two vertical chamber plates 6 are fixed to the front panel surface of the lower baffle 4 by a screw. The horizontal chamber plate 8 is inclinedly provided on front side walls of the two vertical chamber plates 6. One end of the horizontal chamber plate 8 is fixed to one of the vertical chamber plates 6 by a screw, the other end thereof is fixed to the other vertical chamber plate 6 by a screw. A lower part of the horizontal chamber plate 8 is in contact with the lower baffle 4. Specifically, an upper end of the horizontal chamber plate 8 is tilted downwards, causing a width of the storage chamber opening to be greater than its bottom width, effectively reducing a volume of the storage chamber and ensuring that it does not affect an operation of the cart. In this embodiment, both the horizontal chamber plate 8 and the vertical chamber plate 6 are preferentially implemented using transparent PC plates with scratch resistance.

As shown in FIG. 1, the horizontal chamber plate 8 is provided with a ball outlet hole 10 connected to the golf ball storage chamber 5 for easy retrieval of the golf ball. In order to prevent the golf ball from falling out of the hole while the cart is in motion and to facilitate the retrieval of the golf ball, a limit plate 11 is obliquely provided on a lower wall of the ball outlet hole 10 to prevent the golf ball from slipping. During a specific installation, the front end of limit plate 11 tilts upwards. In order to improve a stability of the horizontal chamber plate 8, a support plate 9 is provided at a lower end of the horizontal chamber plate 8. The support plate 9 and the horizontal chamber plate 8 are fixed together, an angle (a) is formed between the support plate 9 and the horizontal chamber plate 8, 90°<a<180°. The front panel surface of the lower baffle 4 is in contact with the support plate 9.

As shown in FIG. 1, the storage chamber is provided with one or more partitions 7. Specifically, the partition 7 is provided between the two vertical chamber plates 6, which are respectively connected to the lower baffle 4 and the horizontal chamber plate 8 and fixed with a screw. Connection surfaces between the two vertical chamber plates 6 and the partition 7 with the horizontal chamber plate 8 are both inclined planes, an inclination of the inclined plane matches the angle (a), rendering a connection between the horizontal chamber plate 8 and the partition 7 with the vertical chamber plates 6 closer. When the partition 7 is one partition, it divides the storage chamber into a small object storage chamber 12 and a golf ball storage chamber 5. When the partition 7 is multiple partitions 7, the storage chamber is divided into multiple small object storage chambers 12 and multiple golf ball storage chambers 5. The number of partitions 7 should be provided according to the needs of use. In this embodiment, the partition 7 is preferentially implemented using a transparent PC plate.

When using it, the magnetic blocks 2 on the upper baffle 1 and lower baffle 4 can be adsorbed on the bracket in front of the golf cart to quickly complete an installation of the entire wind deflector. During installation, the storage chamber is located above a control panel of the cart. When folding the upper baffle 1 onto the lower baffle 4, the upper baffle 1 is simply pulled so that the magnetic block 2 on the upper baffle 1 is detached from the bracket in front of the golf cart, and the upper baffle 1 can be quickly folded onto the lower baffle 4. The small object storage chamber 12 is configured to store small personal items of drivers and passengers, such as water cups, scoreboards, gloves, etc. Golf ball storage chamber 5 is configured to store golf balls required for sports. Therefore, the present disclosure facilitates the storage of small items and sports items carried by drivers and passengers through the storage chamber located at a lower end of the front panel surface of the lower baffle 4. At the same time, by providing a partition 7 in the storage chamber, the storage chamber is divided into a small object storage chamber and a golf ball storage chamber, so that the objects can be classified and stored in a more orderly manner, rendering it easier for a driver and passenger to retrieve a required objects, this effectively solves defect of the existing wind deflector for golf cart with no storage function.

As mentioned above, the present disclosure can be well implemented.
