[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] Embodiment 1

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a balancing vehicle, including a vehicle body 10, a linkage shaft 20, a running mechanism and a shock absorbing mechanism 40.

[0040] Among them, the vehicle body 10 includes a pedal 11 for a user to step on and a mounting base 12 connected to the pedal 11, the mounting base 12 is rotatably connected to the linkage shaft 20, optionally, the linkage shaft 20 has an axial hole extending in the left and right directions, the mounting base 12 includes a left mounting ear 121 sleeved on the left end of the axial hole and capable of rotating in the axial hole and a right mounting ear 122 sleeved on the right end of the axial hole and capable of rotating in the axial hole, preferably, the mounting base 12 is provided with a socket hole 101 extending in the left and right directions, the linkage shaft 20 extends in the left and right directions and is inserted into the socket hole 101 and can rotate relative to the vehicle body 10 in the socket hole 101.

[0041] The vehicle body 10 includes a pedal, a sensor module connected to the pedal and used to sense the inclination angle of the pedal, a steering module connected to the pedal and used to receive a steering command from the user, a control module electrically connected to the sensor module and the steering module, and a power module connected to the pedal and used to power the control module. The control module is used to adjust the pedal to return to the preset angle when the sensor module senses that the pedal deviates from the preset angle, and control the motion mechanism to turn after the steering module receives the user's steering command, so as to achieve self-balancing control of the pedal 11. The socket hole 101 is preferably opened at the front end of the vehicle body 10. In this embodiment, the angle between the preset angle and the horizontal plane is 0°, that is, in the preset state, the vehicle body 10 is in a horizontal state. In an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor module at least includes a posture sensing module.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 2 The operating mechanism includes a left wheel assembly 31 located on the left side of the vehicle body 10 and connected to the left end of the linkage shaft 20, a right wheel assembly 32 located on the right side of the vehicle body 10 and connected to the right end of the linkage shaft 20, and a cantilever assembly 33. The cantilever assembly 33 includes a left cantilever 331 fixedly connected to the linkage shaft 20 and rotatably connected to the left wheel assembly 31, and a right cantilever 332 fixedly connected to the linkage shaft 20 and rotatably connected to the right wheel assembly 32. The left cantilever 331 is rotatably connected to the left wheel assembly 31 through a left wheel shaft 34, and the axis of the left wheel shaft 34 is parallel to the axis of the linkage shaft 20 and is spaced apart; the right cantilever 332 is rotatably connected to the right wheel assembly 32 through a right wheel shaft 35, and the axis of the right wheel shaft 35 is parallel to the axis of the linkage shaft 20 and is spaced apart.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The shock absorbing mechanism 40 is elastic and one of its connecting ends is connected to the cantilever assembly 33 and the other connecting end is connected to the vehicle body 10. The two connecting ends of the shock absorbing mechanism 40 are spaced apart from the axis of the linkage shaft 20. The shock absorbing mechanism 40 can be elastically deformed and generate elastic restoring force when the vehicle body 10 deviates from the preset position, and the frame is restored to the preset position by releasing the elastic restoring force. In this way, the shock absorbing mechanism 40, the vehicle body 10 and the cantilever assembly 33 form a triangular structure, which saves installation space and forms a stable support structure. When encountering undulating road surfaces, the compression direction of the shock absorbing mechanism 40 is close to the same direction as the rotation direction of the vehicle body 10, which increases the stress of the shock absorbing mechanism 40 and improves the force application efficiency of the elastic restoring force. The left wheel shaft 34 and the left cantilever 331 and the right wheel shaft 35 and the right cantilever 332 are preferably fixedly connected to reduce the force on the shock absorbing mechanism 40 when in a balanced state, thereby improving the service life of the shock absorbing mechanism 40. The shock absorbing mechanism 40 can provide a certain compression and recovery stroke when encountering undulations on the road surface to absorb the vibration of the bumps and reduce the impact of the bumps on the user. Preferably, one connecting end of the shock absorbing mechanism 40 is connected to the middle of the vehicle body 10, and the other connecting end is connected to the part of the cantilever assembly 33 close to the left wheel axle 34 or the right wheel axle 35, so as to maximize the triangular area formed by the shock absorbing mechanism 40, the vehicle body 10 and the cantilever assembly 33, and improve stability.

[0044] The present invention arranges a linkage shaft 20 that runs through the vehicle body 10 so that the left wheel assembly 31 and the right wheel assembly 32 are linked. The pressure exerted by the user on the vehicle body 10 can be evenly distributed to the left wheel assembly 31 and the right wheel assembly 32, and the forces of the left moving wheel 311 and the right moving wheel 321 are mutually involved. When the balancing vehicle turns, the vehicle body 10 will not tilt due to the linkage between the left wheel assembly 31 and the right wheel assembly 32. Therefore, the vertical pressure between the left wheel assembly 31 and the right wheel assembly 32 will not differ too much. In this way, the center of gravity of the balancing vehicle will not deviate from the vehicle body 10, ensuring that the left wheel assembly 31 and the right wheel assembly 32 always move up and down at the same height, thereby avoiding aggravated tilting and causing a vehicle fall accident.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2Further, the shock absorbing mechanism 40 includes a left shock absorbing member 41 which is elastic and one of its connecting ends is connected to the left cantilever 331 and the other connecting end is connected to the vehicle body 10, and a right shock absorbing member 42 which is elastic and one of its connecting ends is connected to the right cantilever 332 and the other connecting end is connected to the right side of the vehicle body 10. Both connecting ends of the left shock absorbing member 41 are spaced apart from the axis of the linkage shaft 20, and both connecting ends of the right shock absorbing member 42 are spaced apart from the axis of the linkage shaft 20. The left shock absorbing member 41 and the right shock absorbing member 42 are arranged so that the left and right sides of the vehicle body 10 are subjected to uniform force, which is conducive to maintaining the balance of the vehicle body 10. Among them, the left shock absorbing member 41 and the right shock absorbing member 42 can be tension springs, compression springs, leaf springs, torsion bars, gas springs, elastic rubbers, etc., but are not limited thereto.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 Preferably, the left cantilever 331 has a left connection hole 3310, one connection end of the left shock absorber 41 is connected to the hole wall of the left connection hole 3310 and the other connection end thereof is connected to the vehicle body 10, and the right cantilever 332 has a right connection hole 3320, one connection end of the right shock absorber 42 is connected to the hole wall of the right connection hole 3320 and the other connection end thereof is connected to the vehicle body 10. This not only saves installation space but also reduces overall weight.

[0047] Preferably, the shock absorbing mechanism 40 includes a first torsion spring sleeved on the linkage shaft 20, one end of the first torsion spring is connected to the cantilever assembly and the other end thereof is connected to the vehicle body 10. When encountering a bumpy road surface, when the vehicle body 10 moves up and down, due to the rotational connection between the vehicle body 10 and the linkage shaft 20, the angle between the suspension mechanism and the vehicle body 10 also increases or decreases accordingly, and the first torsion spring can generate a torsion force when the angle between the suspension mechanism and the vehicle body 10 changes, so that the suspension mechanism and the vehicle body 10 restore the preset angle, which plays a role in assisting in absorbing the vibration of the bump.

[0048] Furthermore, the linkage shaft 20 is provided with a left limiting groove and a right limiting groove, the left cantilever 331 has a left protrusion adapted to the left limiting groove, and the right cantilever 332 has a right protrusion adapted to the right limiting groove.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] The structure and function of the second embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. The difference between them is that:

[0051] Please refer to Figure 3The left wheel assembly 31 in the second embodiment of the present invention includes a left moving wheel 311 and a left motor 312, the left motor 312 has a left stator portion 3122 and a left rotor portion 3121 that can rotate relative to the left stator portion 3122, the left wheel shaft 34 is fixedly connected to the left stator portion 3122, and the left moving wheel 311 is fixedly connected to the left rotor portion 3121; the right wheel assembly 32 includes a right moving wheel 321 and a right motor 322, the right motor 322 has a right stator portion 3222 and a right rotor portion 3221 that can rotate relative to the right stator portion 3222, the right wheel shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the right stator portion 3222, and the right moving wheel 321 is fixedly connected to the right rotor portion 3221. It is understandable that the left wheel shaft 34 does not rotate during the rotation of the left driving wheel 311, and the right wheel shaft 35 does not rotate during the rotation of the right driving wheel 321, so that the vehicle body 10 can always be at a preset angle in a general motion state, improving the balance and stability of the cantilever assembly 33, the vehicle body 10 and the shock absorbing mechanism 40, and improving the service life of the posture sensor module and the control module. Preferably, the left motor 312 is integrally arranged with the left driving wheel 311 to save installation space.

[0052] When the left cantilever 331 is fixedly connected to the left wheel axle 34 and the right cantilever 332 is fixedly connected to the right wheel axle 35 in Example 1, if the posture sensing module senses that the vehicle body 10 has a pitch angle, in order to keep the vehicle body 10 balanced, the control module will drive the left stator part 3122 and the right stator part 3222 to rotate so that the vehicle body 10 returns to its original position. At this time, due to the release of the elastic restoring force of the shock absorbing mechanism 40, the vehicle body 10 will also rotate in the reset direction. The two rotation actions may be superimposed to produce resonant vibration, causing riding danger.

[0053] To solve this problem, in Example 2, please refer to Figure 3The left cantilever 331 includes a left connecting ear 3311 fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10, a left connecting seat 3312 fixedly connected to the left wheel shaft 34, a left main connecting rod 3313 fixedly connected to the linkage shaft 20 and rotatably connected to the left connecting seat 3312, and a left secondary connecting rod 3314 rotatably connected to the left connecting ear 3311 and the left connecting seat 3312. The left main connecting rod 3313 is rotatably connected to the left connecting seat 3312 through a first left rotating shaft 3315, the left secondary connecting rod 3314 is rotatably connected to the left connecting seat 3312 through a second left rotating shaft 3316, and is rotatably connected to the left connecting ear 3311 through a third left rotating shaft 3317. The linkage shaft 20, the first left rotating shaft 3315, the second left rotating shaft 3316 and the third left rotating shaft 3317 can be collectively arranged to form a parallelogram The right cantilever 332 includes a right connecting ear 3321 fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10, a right connecting seat 3322 fixedly connected to the right wheel axle 35, a right main connecting rod 3323 fixedly connected to the linkage shaft 20 and rotatably connected to the right connecting seat 3322, and a right secondary connecting rod 3324 rotatably connected to the right connecting ear 3321 and the right connecting seat 3322. The right main connecting rod 3323 is rotatably connected to the right connecting seat 3322 via a first right rotating shaft 3325, the right secondary connecting rod 3324 is rotatably connected to the right connecting seat 3322 via a second right rotating shaft 3326, and is rotatably connected to the right connecting ear 3321 via a third right rotating shaft 3327. The linkage shaft 20, the first right rotating shaft 3325, the second right rotating shaft 3326 and the third right rotating shaft 3327 can be collectively arranged to form a parallelogram.

[0054] In this way, when the left wheel shaft 34 maintains an unchanged angle, the left connecting seat 3312 also maintains an unchanged angle. Since the linkage shaft 20, the first left rotation shaft 3315, the second left rotation shaft 3316 and the third left rotation shaft 3317 can be jointly arranged to form a parallelogram, according to the properties of the balanced quadrilateral, no matter how the angle between two adjacent sides of the parallelogram changes, its opposite sides are always parallel. In other words, no matter how the vehicle body 10 vibrates up and down, how its angle with the left main connecting rod 3313 changes, the line connecting the first left rotation shaft 3315 and the second left rotation shaft 3316 and the line connecting the linkage shaft 20 and the third left rotation shaft 3317 are always parallel, and the left connecting ear 3311 and the line connecting the linkage shaft 20 and the third left rotation shaft 3317 always maintain a fixed angle, and the left connecting ear 3311 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10, so that the vehicle body 10 can always maintain a horizontal state, preventing the attitude sensor from making misjudgments due to vibration and resonating with the shock absorbing mechanism 40, thereby improving safety in use.

[0055] The functions of the right wheel assembly 32 and the left wheel assembly 31 are similar and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] Optionally, the left connecting ear 3311 may be protruded from the upper surface or the lower surface of the vehicle body 10 , and correspondingly, the right connecting ear 3321 may be protruded from the upper surface or the lower surface of the vehicle body 10 .

The right main connecting rod 3323 is rotatably connected to the first right seat body 3328 via a first right rotating shaft 3325, and the right secondary connecting rod 3324 is rotatably connected to the second right seat body 3329 via a second right rotating shaft 3326. The provision of the left heat dissipation hole 340 and the right heat dissipation hole 350 reduces the weight of the left moving wheel 311 and the right moving wheel 321, making the balancing vehicle lighter, while facilitating the heat dissipation and wiring of the left motor 312 and the right motor 322, simplifying the number of parts and installation steps, and improving reliability.

[0060] Preferably, the diameter of the left heat dissipation hole 340 is greater than one third of the diameter of the left moving wheel 311. Increasing the diameter of the left heat dissipation hole 340 also increases the diameter of the left wheel shaft 34, thereby increasing the force bearing area of ​​the left wheel shaft 34 and improving the structural stability. The right heat dissipation hole 350 has a similar structure and function to the left heat dissipation hole 340, which will not be described in detail here.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 4 Preferably, the line connecting the first left seat body and the second left seat body passes through the axis of the left heat dissipation hole 340, and the line connecting the first right seat body 3328 and the second right seat body 3329 passes through the axis of the right heat dissipation hole 350. In this way, the stability of the connection between the left connecting seat 3312 and the left wheel shaft 34 and the stability of the connection between the right connecting seat 3322 and the right wheel shaft 35 are improved.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 4Preferably, the shock absorbing mechanism 40 includes a second torsion spring 43 sleeved on the linkage shaft 20, the left secondary connecting rod 3314 is provided with a left transfer hole, one end of the second torsion spring 43 is rotatably connected to the left transfer hole and the other end thereof is hooked on the third left rotation shaft 3317, because the left connecting ear 3311 is fixedly connected to the vehicle body 10 and the angle between the two is fixed, one end of the second torsion spring 43 is hooked on the third left rotation shaft 3317, and the angle between the two end arms of the second torsion spring 43 is equal to the angle between the vehicle body 10 and the left cantilever 331, so that the second torsion spring 43 can generate torsion when the angle between the left and the vehicle body 10 changes, so that the left and the vehicle body 10 restore the preset angle, which plays a role in assisting in absorbing the vibration of bumps, and at the same time solves the connection problem between the second torsion spring 43 and the vehicle body. Optionally, the right secondary connecting rod 3324 is provided with a right transfer hole, one end of the second torsion spring 43 is rotatably connected to the right transfer hole and the other end thereof is hooked on the third right rotation shaft 3327.

[0063] Preferably, the third left rotating shaft 3317 is connected to the third right rotating shaft 3327 to reduce the number of installation components and simplify the installation process.

[0064] Embodiment 4

[0065] The structure and function of the fourth embodiment are similar to those of the first embodiment, and will not be described in detail here. The difference between them is that:

[0066] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The mounting seat 12 protrudes from the pedal board 11 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the linkage shaft 20. The mounting seat 12 includes a left mounting ear 121 connected to the left side of the pedal board 11 and a right mounting ear 122 connected to the right side of the pedal board 11 and arranged opposite to the left mounting ear 121. The linkage shaft 20 is used to connect the left mounting ear 121 and the right mounting ear 122. The left mounting ear 121 and the right mounting ear 122 realize the connection between the linkage shaft 20 and the pedal board 11, and improve the reliability of the connection between the linkage shaft 20 and the mounting seat 12, so as to prevent the mounting seat 12 from being damaged during repeated use.

[0067] Optionally, the connection point between the left cantilever 331 and the linkage shaft 20 is located on the side of the left mounting ear 121 facing away from the right mounting ear 122, and the connection point between the right cantilever 332 and the linkage shaft 20 is located on the side of the right mounting ear 122 facing away from the left mounting ear 121. It can be understood that the linkage shaft 20 is penetrated by the left mounting ear 121 and the right mounting ear 122 and its two ends are respectively connected to the left cantilever 331 and the right cantilever 332, thereby improving the reliability of the connection between the linkage shaft 20 and the mounting seat 12.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6Preferably, the connection point between the left cantilever 331 and the linkage shaft 20 is located on the side of the left mounting ear 121 facing the right mounting ear 122, and the connection point between the right cantilever 332 and the linkage shaft 20 is located on the side of the right mounting ear 122 facing the left mounting ear 121. In this way, the left mounting ear 121 and the right mounting ear 122 limit the linkage shaft 20 to the left and right, preventing the linkage shaft 20 from shaking left and right relative to the pedal 11. On the other hand, this connection method allows the linkage shaft 20 to be fixedly connected with the left cantilever 331 and the right cantilever 332 before assembly, such as welding, but not limited thereto, and then the two ends of the linkage shaft 20 are pressed inward from the left and right directions through the left mounting ear 121 and the right mounting ear 122, so that the two ends of the linkage shaft 20 are respectively connected to the left mounting ear 121 and the right mounting ear 122, thereby saving installation steps, facilitating installation, and improving the integrity of the structure.

[0069] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
