[0020] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: Figures 1-6 The scooter with a quick folding mechanism includes a scooter body, the body includes a seat assembly, the seat assembly includes a support rod 1, a first seat cushion 2 and a second seat cushion 3, the center of the first seat cushion 2 is set on the support rod 1, and the second seat cushion 3 is slidably set on both sides of the first seat cushion 2, and the second seat cushion 3 can increase the area of the overall seat cushion.

[0021] Specifically, when the two groups of second seat cushions 3 move away from the first seat cushion 2, the area of the seat cushion area increases. Similarly, when the second seat cushions 3 move toward the side of the first seat cushion 2 at the same time, the area of the seat cushion area decreases. A first elastic member 4 is provided between the two groups of second seat cushions 3. When the second seat cushion 3 overcomes the first elastic member 4 and moves away from the first seat cushion 2 and restores the first elastic member 4, the second seat cushion 3 retracts into the first seat cushion 2.

[0022] The support rod 1 is slidably set in the sleeve 5, and several movable first inclined blocks 6 are symmetrically set in the first cushion 2. The first inclined blocks 6 are connected to the second cushion 3. A top rod 7 is set at the bottom of the sleeve 5, and a first inclined surface 8 is set on the top rod 7. The first inclined surface 8 corresponds to the two groups of first inclined blocks 6. That is, when the support rod 1 and the cushion move downward, the first inclined block 6 contacts the top rod 7 and continues to move downward. The first inclined block 6 drives the second cushion 3 to move away from the first cushion 2.

[0023] Furthermore, the bottom of the support rod 1 is connected to the bottom of the sleeve 5 through a third elastic member 20, thereby realizing that the support rod 1 slides between the top rod 7 and the sleeve 5. In order to realize unidirectional movement of the support rod 1, two groups of grooves are symmetrically arranged under the support rod 1, and a card block 9 can be slidably arranged in the groove. The card block 9 is connected to the inner side of the groove through a second elastic member 12. When the card block 9 is only affected by the second elastic member 12, the card block 9 is located in the groove.

[0024] Preferably, a first electromagnet 13 is provided in the groove, and a first magnet 14 is provided on the block 9 to match the first electromagnet 13, that is, when the first electromagnet 13 is energized, the block 9 moves away from the first electromagnet 13, and a support fixing block 11 is provided on the sleeve 5, and the fixing block 11 is spaced apart at the bottom of the sleeve 5, and a second inclined surface 10 is provided below the block 9. When the block 9 moves downward, the support rod 1 moves downward, and under the influence of the second inclined block, the block 9 can move downward, but under the action of the third elastic member 20, the upper side of the block 9 cannot break through the fixing block 11, thereby realizing the unidirectional movement of the support rod 1.

[0025] The seat assembly is not suitable for everyone. For people who do not like sitting, a quick-folding support rod 1 and a sleeve 5 are set. The main body includes a pedal 23. A fixing rod 15 is fixed on the pedal 23. A groove body is set on the fixing rod 15. The sleeve is rotatably connected to the groove body through a rotating shaft 16. A limit rod 17 is slidably set in the groove body. A limit hole 18 is set on the sleeve 5 to match the limit rod 17. A second electromagnet 19 is set inside the limit hole 18. When the second electromagnet 19 is started and the limit hole 18 is located directly above the limit rod 17, the limit rod 17 will be located between the sleeve 5 and the fixing rod 15 to achieve locking. Furthermore, the limit rod 17 is preferably provided in two groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating shaft 16.

[0026] Regarding how to control the first electromagnet 13 and the second electromagnet 19, the first electromagnet 13 and the second electromagnet 19 are electrically connected in the main body. After the main body is energized, the first electromagnet 13 and the second electromagnet 19 are started. At this time, the seat assembly can be freely rotated to determine whether to use it. If needed, the limiting hole 18 is vertically placed above the pedal 23 to fix the sleeve 5 to the fixed tube.

[0027] During driving, due to sitting on the first seat cushion 2 and the second seat cushion 3 for a long time, the contact part will feel continuously stuffy, so a number of air outlet holes 21 are provided on the first seat cushion 2 and the second seat cushion 3. The air outlet holes 21 are provided on the side in contact with the human body, and an air inlet 22 is provided below the air outlet holes 21. When gas enters the air inlet 22, the air outlet holes 21 will discharge the gas, thereby reducing the discomfort of the user in contact with the seat cushion.

[0028] In order to achieve the best jetting, an jet device is set in the pedal 23. Generally speaking, the jet device includes a cavity 24 and a piston 25. Preferably, the cavity 24 is set inside the pedal 23, and the piston 25 is installed in the cavity 24. When the piston 25 moves repeatedly, the cavity 24 can continuously release gas. The jet device also includes a first tube body 27 and a second tube body 28. The first tube body 27 is set in the sleeve 5, and the second tube body 28 is set in the support rod 1. Several through holes are set on the first tube body 27 and the second tube body 28. When the through holes are aligned, the first tube body 27 and the second tube body 28 are connected. Further, the first tube body 27 is connected to the cavity 24 through a hose, and the second tube body 28 is connected to the air inlet 22. When the piston 25 continuously generates gas during repeated movement, the gas is released into the first seat cushion 2 and the second seat cushion 3 through the first tube body 27 and the second tube body 28.

[0029] At the same time, two sets of one-way valves in opposite directions are arranged in the cavity 24. The first one-way valve is used to allow the air in the cavity 24 to be placed outside the cavity 24. An outlet 26 is provided in the cavity 24. The first one-way valve is provided in the outlet 26, which is also the hose connection point. The second one-way valve is used to allow the air outside the cavity 24 to enter the cavity 24, so that the cavity 24 can continuously transport gas as the piston 25 moves repeatedly.

[0030] In order to achieve continuous movement of the piston 25, two groups of tires are set on both sides of the pedal 23, and a fixed plate 34 is set on one side of one group of tires. A driving device is set on the fixed plate 34, and the driving device includes a cam 31 and a driving rod 32. A block is set on the fixed plate 34, and the driving rod 32 is slidably connected to the block. A fourth elastic member 33 is set between the driving rod 32 and the block, and the cam 31 is coaxially set on the tire, and the driving rod 32 is connected to the piston 25. Therefore, when the main body is riding, when the cam 31 rotates, the piston 25 moves repeatedly, and the generated gas is continuously discharged from the air outlet 21 of the seat cushion.

[0031] For users of different weights, the air output needs to be adjusted accordingly due to the different seat cushion areas. In this embodiment, a first through hole 29 is provided on the first tube body 27, and a second through hole 30 is provided on the second tube body 28. As the support rod 1 descends, the contact area between the first through hole 29 and the second through hole 30 adaptably changes, that is, the greater the weight pressed on the support rod 1, the larger the contact area between the first through hole 29 and the second through hole 30, the more air enters, and the more air is discharged.

[0032] Working principle: After the main body is started, the first electromagnet 13 and the second electromagnet 19 are started. At this time, there is no need to use the seat assembly, and you can ride directly on the pedal 23. Users who need to use the seat assembly will lift up the sleeve 5 and the support rod 1, and after the limiting hole 18 and the limiting rod 17 are aligned, the limiting rod 17 connects the sleeve 5 to the fixed rod 15. After the user sits on the cushion, the support rod 1 is lowered to a suitable position according to his weight and then fixed. The first inclined block 6 moves to both sides to the appropriate cushion length under the action of the top rod 7. During riding, the tire will generate gas when it rotates, and the gas will be discharged directly from the air outlet 21 to relieve the contact between the user and the cushion, thereby improving the user's experience.

[0033] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
