Detailed Implementation

[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] This embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.

[0043] Example 1:

[0044] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the present invention provides an easily foldable electric scooter, including a foot pedal 300, a front fork 100, a handlebar assembly 200, and front and rear wheels. A connecting assembly 400 is provided between the foot pedal 300 and the front fork 100, the connecting assembly 400 being used to achieve assembly and folding by changing the angle between the front fork 100 and the foot pedal 300.

[0045] Specifically, the connecting assembly 400 includes a first connecting arm 410 and a second connecting arm 420 connected together, and a limiting structure for fixing the second connecting arm 420 in the assembled state.

[0046] The end of the first connecting arm 410 is detachably connected to the front fork 100.

[0047] The front end of the footboard 300 is provided with a mounting cavity 310 (or a groove), and the end of the second connecting arm 420 is arranged in the mounting cavity 310 and is hinged to the footboard 300 through a pin shaft 520. In the mounting cavity 310, the pin shaft 520 is spaced apart from the front end face of the footboard 300, so that the second connecting arm 420 is arranged as a part of the footboard 300 in the mounting cavity 310 in the assembled state, and the rear displacement distance of the front wheel is increased in the folded state.

[0048] By comparison Figure 4 and Figure 8 It can be seen that, since the pin shaft 520 is arranged at the rear end, the front wheel is folded after rotating around the pin shaft 520, the rotating radius is increased, the foldable area is correspondingly increased, and thus the front wheel can be aligned with the front end of the footboard 300 as much as possible, so that the storage distance of the front end of the footboard 300 is shortened, and the packaging cost and the transportation space can be saved during packaging and transportation.

[0049] In the embodiment, the first connecting arm 410 and the second connecting arm 420 are sheet metal parts, which include a pair of parallel and oppositely arranged side plates 430, and a bottom plate 450 and a cover plate 440 for connecting the two side plates 430. The side plates 430 are integrally formed, the cover plate 440 is arranged at the upper end of the side plates 430, and the bottom plate 450 is arranged at the lower end of the side plates 430. The included angle between the first connecting arm 410 and the second connecting arm 420 is obtuse, and the first connecting arm 410 is connected to the front fork 100 through a threaded fastener. In the embodiment, the first connecting arm 410 and the second connecting arm 420 are made of sheet metal parts, which are easy to produce and have high strength.

[0050] The limiting structure includes a limiting clamping groove 461 arranged on the second connecting arm 420, a limiting movable groove 511 arranged in the mounting cavity 310, a limiting part 540 slidably arranged in the limiting movable groove 511, and an elastic part 530 for driving the limiting part 540.

[0051] In the assembled state, the limiting part 540 is tightly arranged in the limiting clamping groove 461 under the action of the elastic part 530 to limit the rotation of the second connecting arm 420.

[0052] Specifically, the limiting clamping groove 461 is arranged at the connection between the second connecting arm 420 and the first connecting arm 410. The elastic part 530 is a tension spring, the limiting part 540 is a movable pin, and the limiting movable groove 511 extends along the length direction of the footboard 300 in the mounting cavity 310. One end of the tension spring is fixed to the pin shaft 520, and the other end of the tension spring is fixed to the movable pin.

[0053] Due to the adoption of sheet metal parts, the second connecting arm 420 is hollow, and the pin shaft 520 is arranged at the end of the second connecting arm 420. In the assembled state, the tension spring is located in the hollow second connecting arm 420.

[0054] In this embodiment, the second connecting arm 420 is provided with a clamping plate 460 on each side, which is attached to the side plate 430 and fastened together by bolts, which not only increases the strength of the second connecting arm 420, but also can assemble different sizes of clamping plates 460 according to different models of electric scooters (the size can be controlled by the length of different clamping plates 460). The limiting clamping groove 461 is arranged at one end of the clamping plate 460.

[0055] The connecting assembly 400 further comprises a mounting seat, and the pin shaft 520, the limiting member 540, the elastic member 530 and the limiting movable slot 511 are arranged on the mounting seat; the mounting seat is detachably connected with the foot pedal 300.

[0056] The foot pedal 300 is hollow, comprising an upper and lower pedal, and a notch is formed at the front end of the upper pedal, thereby forming the mounting cavity 310.

[0057] The mounting seat comprises two parallel fixed plates 510, which are vertically arranged on the lower pedal and extend along the length direction of the pedal and are fastened by bolts. The two ends of the pin shaft 520 are connected with the fixed plates 510 respectively, and the limiting movable slots 511 are arranged opposite to each other on the two fixed plates 510 respectively. The elastic member 530 is also located between the two fixed plates 510.

[0058] In order to prevent dust from entering the tension spring and affecting the operation of the tension spring, a protective cover 531 for protecting the elastic member 530 is arranged between the elastic member 530 and the fixed plate 510, the limiting member 540 is arranged at the front end of the protective cover 531, the rear end of the protective cover 531 is provided with a movable hole 532 with a length corresponding to the limiting movable slot 511, and the pin shaft 520 is arranged in the movable hole 532.

[0059] In order to quickly and conveniently release the assembled state of the electric scooter when it is stored, a crowbar 600 is further arranged on the first connecting arm 410 in this embodiment, which is used to release the assembled state by driving the limiting member 540 to disengage from the limiting clamping groove 461.

[0060] Specifically, the crowbar 600 includes two end portions, wherein the first end portion 610 is located between the limiting member 540 and the elastic member 530, and the middle of the crowbar 600 is rotationally connected with the first connecting arm 410 through a shaft; in use, the crowbar 600 is rotated around the middle shaft as a fulcrum by pressing the second end portion 620 of the crowbar 600, so as to drive the first end portion 610 to move against the limiting member 540 in a direction away from the limiting slot 461.

[0061] It should be noted that the crowbar 600 is used as a lever, and the middle shaft of the crowbar 600 is a fulcrum, wherein the distance between the first end portion 610 and the fulcrum is an effort arm, and the distance between the second end portion 620 and the fulcrum is another effort arm, so the middle shaft of the crowbar 600 refers to the fulcrum between the two effort arms, rather than a specific spatial position.

[0062] Further, in the embodiment, the crowbar 600 is fixed between the side plates 430 (on both sides of the first connecting arm) through a shaft, and the crowbar 600 can freely rotate around the shaft as a rotation center within a certain angle range. The cover plate 440 at the first connecting arm 410 is provided with a notch 411 for facilitating the operation of the crowbar 600. Meanwhile, the second end portion 620 of the crowbar 600 is provided with a handle for extending the effort arm to save labor in use.

[0063] More specifically, the notch 411 is provided with a decorative cover 630, which is rotationally connected with the second end portion 620. That is, the decorative cover 630 can be used as a handle. When the decorative cover 630 is rotated to a first position, it covers the notch 411, and when the decorative cover 630 is rotated to a second position, it serves as the handle to extend the second end portion 620.

[0064] In the embodiment, two folded edges are respectively provided on the back of the decorative cover 630, and the two folded edges are opposite to each other and form a shaft seat 631. The decorative cover 630 is rotationally connected with the second end portion 620 through a shaft on the shaft seat 631; in the rotation direction of the second end portion 620, one end of the decorative cover 630 can abut against the second end portion 620 to limit the activity angle thereof. In addition, a torsional spring 650 is provided on the middle shaft of the crowbar 600, for driving the crowbar 600 to reset after use.

[0065] To strengthen the strength of the folded edges, a reinforcing rib is further provided between the two folded edges, close to the shaft hole of the shaft seat 631.

[0066] More specifically, the torsional spring includes two spring bodies, a U-shaped connecting portion located between the two spring bodies and used for connecting the two spring bodies at two ends, and connecting feet respectively located at the outer ends of the spring bodies.

[0067] As shown in Figure 10 and 11 The lever 600 is provided with a recess 660 on both sides of the shaft for accommodating the spring body 651, and two torsion springs 650 are respectively sleeved on both sides of the shaft, and the connecting feet 652 outside the two spring bodies 651 are respectively connected with the side wall of the first connecting arm 410. The end of the connecting foot 652 has a 90-degree corner, and a round hole matching the connecting foot 652 is arranged on the side plate 430, and the connecting foot 652 is inserted into the round hole and fixed with the side plate 430.

[0068] An axial limiting portion 661 is further arranged at the recess 660 for preventing the connecting feet 652 from falling off from the side wall of the first connecting arm 410 due to axial contraction of the spring body 651 when being twisted. When the torsion spring 650 is twisted and contracted due to deformation, the connecting feet 652 may fall off from the round hole due to contraction, and therefore the axial limiting portion 661 is arranged between the two connecting feet 652 to prevent the connecting feet 652 from falling off.

[0069] In this embodiment, the axial limiting portion 661 is arranged on the lever 600 and has a certain width (arc) to ensure that the connecting feet 652 always abut against the axial limiting portion 661 when being circumferentially deflected.

[0070] Further, a circumferential limiting portion 662 is further arranged at the recess 660 for limiting the torsion angle of the spring body 651, and the supporting feet connected with the spring body 651 abut against the circumferential limiting portion 662 when the spring body 651 is twisted to the limit position during the resetting process. The circumferential limiting portion 662 and the axial limiting portion 661 are connected together, which can further ensure the stability of the supporting feet during the twisting process.

[0071] After the electric scooter is assembled, the decorative cover 630 should be closed with the gap 411 to keep the storage state. In order to enable the decorative cover 630 to be tightly closed with the gap 411 when being stored, in this embodiment, the decorative cover 630 is provided with an elastic roller 633 at the end opposite to the shaft seat 631; after the decorative cover 630 is closed with the gap 411, the elastic roller 633 is tightly matched with the inner edge of the gap 411 to realize self-locking.

[0072] In addition, during the packaging and transportation process, the electric scooter needs to be folded, which may cause the decorative cover 630 not to be tightly closed due to negligence of the staff or external force, etc. Figure 4When the decorative cover 630 is opened, the footboard 300 will be damaged by the repeated impact of the decorative cover 630. At this time, due to the presence of the elastic roller 633, even if the decorative cover 630 is opened, it will not be in direct contact with the footboard 300, but will be in elastic contact with the footboard 300 through the elastic roller 633, which plays a good buffering effect and will not cause damage to the footboard 300.

[0073] When the decorative cover 630 is closed at the gap 411, the front surface of the decorative cover 630 is basically flush with the cover plate 440, which is inconvenient to take out. Therefore, a through hole is arranged in the middle of the decorative cover 630 to facilitate the insertion of fingers to pry out the decorative cover 630 as a handle.

[0074] In the embodiment, a second limiting part 640 is arranged in the mounting cavity 310, and the second limiting part 640 is arranged on the rotating path of the first end part 610, so as to limit the continuous rotation of the first end part 610 after the limiting piece 540 is separated from the limiting clamping groove 461.

[0075] Specifically, the second limiting part 640 is a metal rod, such as a pin, and the two ends of the pin are respectively connected with the fixed plate 510. When the limiting piece 540 is driven by the first end part 610 to be separated from the limiting clamping groove 461, the pin can block the continuous rotation of the first end part 610.

[0076] In the embodiment, when the electric scooter is assembled from the folded state, the second connecting arm 420 will be slowly put into the mounting cavity 310, and in this process, two elastic rubber sleeves are arranged on the pin, which are located on the rotating path of the end of the clamping plate 460 (one end of the limiting clamping groove 461). When the second connecting arm 420 is completely put into the mounting cavity 310, the end of the limiting clamping groove 461 of the clamping plate 460 abuts against the elastic rubber sleeve.
