Abstract

A chassis includes a chassis body and a protective device. The chassis body has a sliding rail. The sliding rail includes a main body and a bending portion at a curved extension from the main body. The bending portion is positioned adjacent to a head of the automotive. The protective device includes a protective member coupled with the bending portion. The protective member is capable of moving relative to the chassis body along the sliding rail when the protective member suffers a collision. This disclosure also supplies an automotive.

First claim

1 . A chassis for an automotive, comprising:
a chassis body having a sliding rail, the sliding rail comprising a main body and a bending portion at a curved extension from the main body, the bending portion positioned adjacent to a head of the automotive body; and a protective device movably assembled with the sliding rail, wherein the protective device comprises a protective member coupled with the bending portion, the protective member is capable of moving relative to the chassis body along the sliding rail when the protective member suffers a collision; and wherein the protective device further comprises a plurality of rollers rotatably coupled to the protective member, and each of the plurality of rollers is received in the sliding rail for coupling the protective member to the chassis body.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the protective member comprises a first protective member and a second protective member movably coupled with the first protective member.

4 . The chassis of claim 3 , wherein the first protective member comprises a first connecting portion located on a sidewall of the first protective member positioned adjacent to the second protective member, and the second protective member comprises a second connecting portion located on a sidewall of the second protective member positioned adjacent to the first protective member, the first connecting portion is coupled with the second connecting portion.

5 . The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the sliding rail further comprises a first stop portion positioned in an end of the bending portion, the first stop portion is away from the main body, a second stop portion is formed on the protective member corresponding to the first stop portion, the first stop portion is coupled with the second stop portion, the second stop portion is configured to release from the first stop portion when the protective member is in the collision.

6 . The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the bending portion comprises a first bending portion and a second bending portion, the first bending portion and the second bending portion are extending from two ends of the main body, the first bending portion is positioned adjacent to the head of the automotive, and the second bending portion is positioned adjacent to a tail of the automotive.

7 . The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the protective member comprises a first buffer layer and a second buffer layer, the first buffer layer is formed on a bottom of the second buffer layer.

8 . The chassis of claim 7 , wherein the first buffer layer is made of rubber.

9 . The chassis of claim 7 , wherein the second buffer layer is made of steel.

10 . The chassis of claim 1 , wherein the sliding rail is a first siding rail, the chassis further comprises a second sliding rail, the protective device further comprises a plurality of rollers, a sliding groove is defined in a sidewall of the first sliding rail towards the second sliding rail, and another sliding groove is defined in a sidewall of the second sliding rail, and the plurality of rollers are rotatably coupled to the protective member and positioned at opposite sidewalls of the protective member, each roller is received in one corresponding one sliding groove.

11 . An automotive, comprising:
an automotive body; and a chassis positioned on a bottom of the automotive body comprising:
a chassis body having a sliding rail, the sliding rail comprising a main body, and a bending portion at a curved extension from the main body, the bending portion positioned adjacent to a head of the automotive body; and
a protective device movably assembled with the sliding rail,
wherein the protective device comprises a protective member coupled with the bending portion, the protective member is capable of moving relative to the chassis body along the sliding rail when the protective member suffers a collision; and wherein each protective device further comprises a plurality of rollers rotatably coupled to the protective member, and each of the plurality of rollers is received in the sliding rail for coupling the protective member to the chassis body.

12 . (canceled)

13 . The automotive of claim 11 , wherein the protective member comprises a first protective member and a second protective member movably coupled with one end of the first protective member.

14 . The automotive of claim 11 , wherein the first protective member comprises a first connecting portion located on a sidewall of the first protective member positioned adjacent to the second protective member, and the second protective member comprises a second connecting portion located on a sidewall of the second protective member abutting with the first protective member, the first connecting portion is coupled with the second connecting portion.

15 . The automotive of claim 11 , wherein the sliding rail further comprises a first stop portion positioned in an end of the bending portion, the first stop portion is away from the main body, a second stop portion is formed on the protective member corresponding to the first stop portion, the first stop portion is coupled with the second stop portion, the second stop portion is configured to release from the first stop portion when the protective member is in the collision.

16 . The automotive of claim 11 , wherein the bending portion comprises a first bending portion and a second bending portion, the first bending portion and the second bending portion are extending from two ends of the main body, the first bending portion is positioned adjacent to the head of the automotive, and the second bending portion is positioned adjacent to a tail of the automotive

17 . The automotive of claim 11 , wherein the protective member comprises a first buffer layer and a second buffer layer, the first buffer layer is formed on a bottom of the second buffer layer.

18 . The automotive of claim 17 , wherein the first buffer layer is made of rubber.

19 . The automotive of claim 17 , wherein the second buffer layer is made of steel.

20 . The automotive of claim 11 , wherein the sliding rail is a first siding rail, the chassis further comprises a second sliding rail, the protective device further comprises a plurality of rollers, a sliding groove is defined in a sidewall of the first sliding rail towards the second sliding rail, and another sliding groove is defined in a sidewall of the second sliding rail, and the plurality of rollers are rotatably coupled to the protective member and positioned at opposite sidewalls of the protective member, each roller is received in one corresponding one sliding groove.
