Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of scooter technology, specifically electric scooters. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, numerous social problems have emerged, such as energy shortages, increasingly serious vehicle emissions pollution, and widespread urban traffic congestion. In recent years, electric vehicles, as a new generation of convenient transportation, have become increasingly popular among consumers. Electric scooters, in particular, are a new type of short-distance transportation tool, gaining favor among consumers due to their portability.

[0003] Electric scooters generally consist of a footboard, handlebars, a ramp, a front wheel, and a rear wheel. The footboard and handlebars are connected via the ramp, with the footboard and ramp being fixedly connected. The handlebars are hinged to the ramp. The front wheel is located at the bottom of the handlebars, and the rear wheel is located at the bottom of the footboard. The direction and path of the front wheel can be controlled by turning the handlebars. To reduce the strain on users when standing for extended periods while using an electric scooter, a seat is usually installed on the footboard.

[0004] Existing seats and pedals typically use either foldable fixed designs or detachable designs. When users travel, maintaining a sitting posture for extended periods can easily lead to fatigue, requiring them to change positions. However, standing can cause foot discomfort. Although some seats can be folded, they are generally inconvenient to store while traveling. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To facilitate users switching between sitting and standing positions while riding an electric scooter, this application provides an electric scooter.

[0006] The electric scooter provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An electric scooter includes a footboard, a handlebar mounted on the footboard, and a seat mounted on the footboard. A connecting assembly is provided between the seat and the footboard, and the connecting assembly is slidably disposed with respect to the footboard. The connecting assembly includes a sliding disc slidably disposed with respect to the footboard and a connecting member for connecting the sliding disc and the seat. A driving member is provided between the sliding disc and the handlebar for driving the sliding disc to slide back and forth along the footboard. The handlebar is rotatably configured with an adjustment assembly, one end of the driving member being connected to the adjustment assembly and the other end being connected to the sliding disc. An elastic member is also provided between the sliding disc and the footboard for resetting the sliding disc, one end of the elastic member being connected to the footboard and the other end being connected to the sliding disc, and the elastic member is always in a compressed state. The handlebar is provided with a locking assembly for controlling whether the adjustment assembly can rotate.

[0008] Traditional electric scooters have seats on the footboards, allowing users to rest during long rides. However, when users become fatigued from sitting and switch to a standing position, their feet may get stuck on the footboard, causing inconvenience. The electric scooter described in this application addresses this issue. First, the locking mechanism used to lock the adjustment component's rotation is unlocked. Then, the adjustment component is rotated, increasing the length of the drive mechanism. Under the rebound force of the elastic element, the sliding plate slides away from the handlebars, providing ample standing space and reducing foot discomfort caused by the seat. To switch back from standing to sitting, the adjustment component is rotated, shortening the drive mechanism and causing the sliding plate to slide towards the handlebars. Once the seat is in the desired position, the locking mechanism is engaged. This makes switching between sitting and standing positions more convenient and reduces user fatigue when using the electric scooter.

[0009] Optionally, the adjustment component includes a rotating part and a storage part. The storage part has a cavity for storing the driving component. A turntable is disposed in the storage part within the cavity. The turntable is rotatably disposed with the storage part. One end of the driving component is connected to the turntable.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjustment component includes a rotating part and a storage part. The storage part has a cavity for storing the drive component. The turntable and the storage part are rotatably connected. One end of the drive component is connected to the turntable. By rotating the turntable, the drive component is wound around the turntable, thereby adjusting the length of the drive component, and thus adjusting the relative position of the seat and the pedal, making the adjustment of the seat position simple and convenient.

[0011] Optionally, a rotating shaft is provided at one end of the rotating part near the storage part, and the rotating shaft passes through the storage part and is connected to the turntable.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a rotating shaft is set at one end of the rotating part near the storage part. The rotating shaft passes through the storage part and is connected to the turntable. By setting the rotating shaft, the rotation point of the turntable is extended to the outside of the storage part. The turntable can be rotated by rotating the rotating part, making the length adjustment of the driving component simpler and more convenient.

[0013] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a locking member sleeved on the outside of the rotating part and locking teeth disposed on the outer periphery of the rotating part. The locking member has an installation groove for mounting the rotating part, and a one-way ratchet protrudes from the inner wall of the installation groove on the locking member, and the locking teeth mesh with the one-way ratchet.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking assembly includes a locking member and locking teeth. The locking member is provided with a one-way ratchet in the mounting groove, and the locking teeth are provided on the outer periphery of the rotating part. Through the engagement of the one-way ratchet and the locking teeth, the rotating part can only rotate in one direction. In the electric scooter provided in this application, the rotation direction of the rotating part is the direction that shortens the total length of the drive component. Through the cooperation of the locking assembly and the elastic member, the seat can always be kept in a fixed position, thereby making the user more stable when using this electric scooter.

[0015] Optionally, the rotating part includes a fixed block and a sliding block. The fixed block is connected to the rotating shaft, the sliding block is slidably disposed with respect to the fixed block, the locking teeth are disposed on the outer periphery of the sliding block, and the sliding block is keyed to the fixed block.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating part includes a fixed block and a sliding block. The fixed block is connected to the rotating shaft, and the sliding block is slidably set with the fixed block. By sliding the fixed block, the meshing relationship between the one-way ratchet and the locking tooth is released or matched, so that the sliding block drives the fixed block to rotate in one direction or in the opposite direction, thereby making the length adjustment of the driving component simpler and more convenient.

[0017] Optionally, the sliding block has a sliding groove that provides space for the sliding block and the fixed block to slide. A compression spring is provided in the sliding groove for the sliding block. One end of the compression spring is connected to the fixed block, and the other end of the compression spring is connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. When the compression spring is compressed, the engagement between the locking tooth and the one-way ratchet is released.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a sliding groove is opened in the sliding block, and a compression spring is set in the sliding groove. By pressing the sliding block, the compression spring is compressed, releasing the engagement of the locking tooth and the one-way ratchet. This allows the sliding block to drive the fixed block to rotate in the opposite direction, increasing the length of the driving component. This allows the sliding disc to slide away from the handlebars under the rebound force of the elastic element, providing standing space for the user. After the force on the sliding block is released, the sliding block rebounds under the elastic force of the compression spring, and the locking tooth and the one-way ratchet engage, fixing the length of the driving component.

[0019] Optionally, an assembly is provided on one side of the storage part, the assembly being fitted onto the handlebar and connected to the handlebar key.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, an assembly is provided on one side of the storage unit. The storage unit is installed on the handlebars through the assembly. When the adjustment component needs to be repaired or replaced, the assembly can be removed, making the repair and replacement of the adjustment component simple and convenient.

[0021] Optionally, the pedal has an outwardly protruding abutment plate on the side near the handlebar, and a connecting plate on the side away from the handlebar. A guide post is provided between the abutment plate and the connecting plate. The elastic element is sleeved on the guide post, and the sliding disc has a through hole for the guide post to pass through.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a contact plate protrudes from the side of the pedal near the handlebars, and a connecting plate protrudes from the side of the pedal away from the handlebars. A guide post is provided between the connecting plate and the contact plate. An elastic element is fitted onto the guide post, and a through hole is provided on the sliding plate for the guide post to pass through. The guide post provides guidance for the elastic element, making its installation on the electric skateboard more stable. Simultaneously, the guide post guides the sliding plate's movement, making its movement more stable. Furthermore, the contact plate and connecting plate provide front and rear limits for the sliding plate, reducing the likelihood of separation between the sliding plate and the pedal.

[0023] Optionally, the pedal has outwardly protruding sliders on both sides, the sliding disk has a groove for the sliders to slide and engage, a rack is provided below the sliders, and a gear is provided in the groove of the sliding disk to mesh with the rack. The gear is rotatably arranged with the sliding disk.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, sliders are provided on both sides of the pedal, and a sliding disk is provided with a groove for the slider to slide and engage. The slider is provided with a rack, and the sliding disk is provided with a gear that meshes with the rack in the groove. The rotation of the gear drives the sliding disk to slide. The meshing of the gear and the rack makes the sliding of the sliding disk more stable.

[0025] Optionally, the connector includes a vertical part connected to the sliding disc and a horizontal part arranged perpendicularly to the vertical part. The end of the horizontal part away from the vertical part is connected to the seat. The horizontal part and the vertical part form a clearance groove. A reinforcing column is provided between the horizontal part and the vertical part.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the connector includes a vertical part and a horizontal part. The clearance groove formed by the vertical and horizontal parts allows the seat to slide completely out of the pedal, thereby providing the user with more sliding space.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. When a user uses the electric scooter provided in this application and needs to switch from a seated position to a standing position, the locking component used to lock the rotation state of the adjustment component is first unlocked. Then, the adjustment component is rotated to increase the length of the drive component. Under the rebound force of the elastic component, the sliding plate slides away from the handlebars, providing the user with ample standing space and reducing foot discomfort caused by the seat. When the user needs to switch from a standing to a seated position, the adjustment component is rotated to shorten the length of the drive component, causing the sliding plate to slide towards the handlebars. When the seat slides to the appropriate position, the locking component is locked. This makes switching between seated and standing positions more convenient and reduces user fatigue when using the electric scooter provided in this application.

[0029] 2. By pressing the sliding block, the compression spring is compressed, releasing the engagement between the locking teeth and the one-way ratchet. This allows the sliding block to drive the fixed block to rotate in the opposite direction, increasing the length of the drive component. Under the rebound force of the elastic element, the sliding disc slides away from the handlebars, providing standing space for the user. After the force on the sliding block is released, the sliding block rebounds under the elastic force of the compression spring, and the locking teeth and one-way ratchet engage, fixing the length of the drive component.

[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0038] This application discloses an electric scooter. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The electric scooter includes a footboard 1, a ramp, handlebars 3, and a seat 4. The footboard 1 and handlebars 3 are connected via the ramp, and the handlebars 3 are rotatably connected to the ramp. The seat 4 is mounted on the footboard 1 and slides along it. By sliding the seat 4, sufficient space is provided for the user to maintain a standing posture, reducing foot discomfort. This not only makes it easier for the user to switch between standing and sitting postures, but also allows the user to find the most comfortable sitting position for themselves by sliding the seat 4.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 A connecting assembly 5 is provided between the pedal 1 and the seat 4. The connecting assembly 5 includes a sliding plate 51 and a connector 52. The connector 52 includes a vertical portion 521 perpendicular to the sliding plate 51 and a horizontal portion 522 facing the rear of the vehicle and perpendicular to the vertical portion 521. A clearance groove 523 is formed between the vertical portion 521 and the horizontal portion 522. The seat 4 is provided on the horizontal side of the horizontal portion 522 away from the pedal 1. A reinforcing post 524 is provided between the horizontal portion 522 and the vertical portion 521 to strengthen the connector 52. In this embodiment, the sliding plate 51 and the vertical portion 521 are connected by welding, the horizontal portion 522 and the vertical portion 521 are integrally formed, the horizontal portion 522 and the reinforcing post 524 and the vertical portion 521 and the reinforcing post 524 are all connected by welding, and the horizontal portion 522 and the seat 4 are connected by conventional technical means, which will not be elaborated in this application.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 Both sides of the pedal 1 have outwardly protruding sliders 11, and both sides of the sliding disk 51 have sliding grooves 53 for the sliders 11 to slide and engage. The connection method and structure between the two sides of the pedal 1 and the two sides of the sliding disk 51 are completely consistent. In this embodiment, one side is used as an example for description. A rack 12 is provided at intervals below the slider 11, and a gear 54 is rotatably provided on the inner wall of the sliding disk 51 in the groove 53. The gear 54 meshes with the rack 12. In this embodiment, the slider 11 and the pedal 1, as well as the rack 12 and the pedal 1, are all integrally formed. A rotating column 55 protrudes from the inner wall of the sliding disk 51 in the groove 53. The gear 54 has a rotating hole 56, and the rotating column 55 passes through the gear 54. The gear 54 and the rotating column 55 are rotatably connected, and the rotating column 55 and the sliding disk 51 are integrally formed.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A contact plate 13 protrudes outward from the side of the pedal 1 near the handlebar 3, and a connecting plate 14 protrudes outward from the side of the pedal 1 away from the handlebar 3. A guide post 15 is provided between the contact plate 13 and the connecting plate 14. The sliding disc 51 has a through hole 57 for the guide post 15 to pass through. An elastic element 9 is fitted around the outer periphery of the guide post 15. One end of the elastic element 9 abuts against the side of the contact plate 13 away from the handlebar 3, and the other end of the elastic element 9 abuts against the side of the sliding disc 51 near the handlebar 3. On the one hand, the contact plate 13 and the connecting plate 14 provide an installation point for the guide post 15; on the other hand, the contact plate 13 and the connecting plate 14 can also limit the sliding disc 51, reducing the sliding disc 51 from sliding off the pedal 1. In this embodiment, the elastic element 9 is a spring that can be compressed and rebounded, and is always kept in a compressed state. When the sliding disc 51 slides towards the handlebar 3, the elastic element 9 is further compressed. When the sliding disc 51 slides away from the handlebar 3, the elastic element 9 rebounds.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A drive member 6 is provided on the side of the sliding disc 51 near the handlebar 3. The handlebar 3 is provided with an adjustment assembly 7 for controlling the length of the drive member 6. The adjustment assembly 7 includes a storage part, a rotating part rotatably disposed with the storage part, and an assembly 73. The rotating part and the storage part are mounted on the handlebar 3 via the assembly 73. The assembly 73 has a positioning hole 731 for the handlebar 3 to pass through, a positioning block 31 protrudes from the outer periphery of the handlebar 3, and a positioning groove 732 for the positioning block 31 to be inserted is provided on the inner wall of the insertion hole of the assembly 73. In this embodiment, the handlebar 3 and the positioning block 31 are integrally formed.

[0043] The storage section includes a storage block 711 integrally formed with the assembly 73 and a cover plate 712 that covers the storage block 711. The storage block 711 has a cavity 713 for storing the drive unit, which is closed by the cover plate 712. The storage block 711 has a storage hole 714 on the side wall of the cavity 713 for the drive unit 6 to pass through. A turntable 74 is disposed inside the cavity 713 of the storage block 711, and the turntable 74 is rotatably configured with the storage block 711. The end of the drive unit 6 away from the pedal 1 passes through the inside of the handlebar 3, then through the storage hole 714, and finally connects to the turntable 74. By rotating the turntable 74, the drive unit 6 is wound around the turntable 74, controlling the overall length of the drive unit 6, thereby driving the sliding disc 51 to adjust the relative position of the seat 4 and the pedal 1. In this embodiment, the cover plate 712 and the storage block 711 are connected by welding. The driving component is made of wear-resistant and high-strength steel rope. One end of the driving component is connected to the turntable 74 by welding, and the other end of the driving component is connected to the sliding disk 51 by welding.

[0044] The rotating part includes a fixed block 721 and a sliding block 722 slidably disposed with respect to the fixed block 721. A rotating shaft 723 is provided on the side of the fixed block 721 near the receiving block 711. The receiving block 711 has a mounting hole 724 for the rotating shaft 723 to pass through, and the turntable 74 has a through hole 725 for the rotating shaft 723 to pass through. The end of the rotating shaft 723 away from the fixed block 721 first passes through the mounting hole 724 and then through the through hole 725. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 723 and the fixed block 721 are integrally formed. After the rotating shaft 723 passes through the through hole 725, it is connected to the turntable 74 by welding. By rotating the fixed block 721, the turntable 74 can be driven to rotate to retract or extend the driving component 6, making the overall length adjustment of the driving component 6 simple and convenient.

[0045] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The sliding block 722 has a sliding groove 7221 providing space for sliding and engaging with the fixed block 721. A limiting block 726 protrudes from the outer periphery of the fixed block 721, and a limiting groove 7222 is formed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 7221 in the sliding block 722 for the limiting block 726 to slide into. In this embodiment, the limiting block 726 and the fixed block 721 are connected by welding, and the limiting block 726 has a certain deformation capacity. A compression spring 727 is installed in the sliding groove 7221 within the sliding block 722. One end of the compression spring 727 is connected to the bottom wall of the sliding groove 7221 by welding, and the end of the compression spring 727 away from the bottom wall of the sliding groove 7221 is connected to the end of the fixed block 721 away from the rotation shaft 723 by welding. Without external force, the groove depth of the sliding groove 7221 is sufficient to keep the compression spring 727 in a relaxed state.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A locking assembly for controlling the rotation of the rotating part is provided between the rotating part and the storage part. The locking assembly includes a locking member 81 sleeved on the outside of the rotating part and locking teeth 82 disposed on the outer periphery of the sliding block 722. One end of the locking member 81 is fixedly connected to the storage block 711 by welding, and the end of the locking member 81 away from the storage block 711 has a mounting groove 811 for mounting the rotating part. The locking member 81 has a plurality of one-way ratchet teeth 83 protruding inward on the inner wall of the mounting groove 811. The one-way ratchet teeth 83 are spaced apart and engage with the locking teeth 82. It is worth mentioning that when the compression spring 727 is in a relaxed state, the locking teeth 82 engage with the one-way ratchet teeth 83. After applying a force to the sliding block 722 and compressing the compression spring 727, the engagement between the locking teeth 82 and the one-way ratchet teeth 83 is released. One side of the one-way ratchet teeth 83 is perpendicular to the inner wall of the mounting groove 811, and the other side of the one-way ratchet teeth 83 has an arc-shaped guide surface. In this embodiment, a total of twenty-two one-way ratchet teeth 83 are provided. In other embodiments, depending on the diameter of the locking member 81, the one-way ratchet teeth 83 may be provided with any other arbitrary number.

[0047] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 The sliding block 722 has a groove 7223 on its surface providing an installation point for the locking tooth 82. The locking tooth 82 is installed at the initial end of the groove 7223 and is rotatably set on the sliding block 722. The locking tooth 82 includes a rotating block 821 rotatably set on the sliding block 722, a locking block 822 located at the end of the rotating block 821 away from the sliding block 722 and meshing with a one-way ratchet 83, and an elastic piece 823 located at one end of the locking block 822 to keep the locking block 822 always meshing with the one-way ratchet 83. A rotating strip 728 is provided on the side wall of the groove 7223 of the sliding block 722. The rotating block 821 has a circular hole 824 for the rotating strip 728 to pass through. The side of the rotating block 821 near the initial end side wall of the groove 7223 is vertically set and fits against the initial end side wall of the groove 7223. The side of the rotating block 821 near the bottom wall of the groove 7223 is arc-shaped. By having the initial sidewall of the groove 7223 fit against the vertical side of the rotating block 821, the rotating block 821 is limited, so that the rotating block 821 can only rotate toward the end of the groove 7223.

[0048] One end of the locking block 822 is integrally formed with the rotating block 821. The end of the locking block 822 away from the rotating block 821 has a vertical side surface. This vertical side surface abuts against the side perpendicular to the one-way ratchet 83 and the mounting groove 811. The side surface of the locking block 822 has a guide arc surface that matches the arc guide surface of the one-way ratchet 83. An elastic piece 823 is integrally formed on the side of the locking block 822 away from the guide arc surface. The end of the elastic piece 823 away from the locking block 822 abuts against the bottom wall of the groove 7223.

[0049] When the sliding block 722 is rotated to shorten the driving component, the elastic plate 823 is compressed under the cooperation of the arc guide surface and the guide arc surface. The locking block 822 is compressed into the groove 7223, and the abutment relationship between the vertical side of the one-way ratchet 83 and the vertical side of the locking block 822 is released. Rotating the sliding block 722 shortens the driving component. However, when the sliding block 722 is reversed to lengthen the driving component, the vertical side of the locking block 822 abuts against the vertical side of the one-way ratchet 83, and the sliding block 722 cannot rotate. At this time, the sliding block 722 needs to be pressed to release the meshing relationship between the one-way ratchet 83 and the locking block 822, thereby allowing the sliding block 722 to rotate in the direction of lengthening of the driving component.

[0050] When the user needs to change their standing posture, they only need to press down the sliding block 722 to release the engagement of the locking tooth 82 and the one-way ratchet 83. Under the rebound force of the elastic element 9, the turntable 74 rotates in the direction of increasing the length of the drive element 6, and the sliding disk 51 slides away from the handlebar 3. When the user has enough space to maintain their standing posture, the force on the sliding block 722 is released, so that the locking tooth 82 and the one-way ratchet 83 engage to lock the position of the sliding disk 51.

[0051] The implementation principle of an electric scooter according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0052] The sliding disc 51 and the pedal 1 are slidably connected, which allows the seat 4 to slide back and forth along the pedal 1. When the user needs to maintain a sitting posture, the sliding disc 51 can be adjusted to a position that suits their sitting posture. When the user needs to maintain a standing posture, the sliding disc 51 can be slid to a position that does not affect their standing posture, making it easier for the user to switch between standing and sitting postures.

[0053] The user can rotate the sliding block 722 to rotate the turntable, wrapping the drive component 6 around the turntable 74, shortening the overall length of the drive component 6, and causing the sliding disc 51 to slide towards the handlebars 3. When the user needs to maintain a standing posture, pressing the sliding block 722 disengages the one-way ratchet 83 and locking tooth 82. At this time, under the rebound force of the elastic element 9, the sliding block 722 drives the fixing block 721 to rotate in the opposite direction, rotating the turntable 74 in a direction that can stretch the drive component 6. As the drive component 6 continues to stretch and the elastic element 9 rebounds, the sliding disc 51 slides away from the handlebars 3. At this time, it can provide the user with sufficient standing space and reduce the foot-resting phenomenon caused by the seat 4. By adjusting the coordination of component 7, drive component 6, and elastic component 9, users can control the direction of the electric scooter with one hand while using the other hand to adjust the position of the seat 4, thereby switching between standing and sitting postures. This makes it simpler and more convenient for users to switch between standing and sitting postures while riding the electric scooter.

[0054] Furthermore, through the engagement of the one-way ratchet 83 and the locking tooth 82, the sliding block 722 can only slide in the direction of shortening the drive member 6, and the elastic member 9 remains compressed. That is, in the absence of external force, the sliding block 722, through the pulling force of the drive member 6 and the rebound force of the elastic member 9, keeps the sliding disc 51 and the seat 4 in dynamic balance, thereby ensuring that the position of the seat 4 remains stable when the user uses the electric scooter, thus enhancing the stability of the electric scooter provided in this application during operation.

[0055] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
