Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of personal transportation tools, and more specifically to an electric scooter with a fully detachable and foldable pole. Background Technology

[0002] Subways and buses are currently the most common modes of transportation. However, people's current location and their destination are not always right next to a subway or bus stop; there is often a distance between them (also known as the "last mile"). Therefore, people often face the challenge of walking from their current location to a subway or bus stop, taking the bus, and then walking to their destination. This walking time can be quite long; for example, a 1.2km journey might take about 15 minutes. Using shared bicycles presents the problems of difficulty in finding bikes and higher costs.

[0003] Because of their lightweight, simple structure and small size, electric scooters have become a popular mode of transportation. After riding, people can easily take the scooters onto public transportation such as subways or buses. To make them even more portable, electric scooters with foldable poles have been developed. This allows users to ride from their location to a station, then take the scooter onto the vehicle, and continue riding to their destination from there, saving time and effort – a very convenient solution.

[0004] However, although the poles of existing electric scooters are foldable, which saves space in the vertical direction, the handlebars are usually fixed. This means that existing electric scooters still take up a lot of space in the horizontal direction, making them difficult to carry. In crowded environments such as subways and buses, the outward-protruding handlebars can easily bump into or trip others, posing a certain safety hazard.

[0005] Therefore, existing electric scooters suffer from poor portability. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an electric scooter with better portability and a fully detachable and foldable upright.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an electric scooter with a fully detachable and foldable upright post, comprising a body, an upright post detachably hinged to the front end of the body via a hinge, and a handlebar assembly disposed on the top of the upright post; the body includes a main body for standing, a battery compartment is disposed within the main body, a front wheel and at least one rear wheel are rotatably mounted on the front and rear ends of the main body respectively, and a rear foot brake is also mounted on the rear end of the main body; the top of the hinge is detachably and fixedly connected to the upright post, and the front and rear sides of the bottom of the hinge are detachably hinged to the front and rear sides of the body respectively; the handlebar assembly includes a mounting base fixedly sleeved on the top of the upright post, a pair of handlebars are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting base respectively, a fixing plug for fixing the pair of handlebars in a horizontal position is inserted into the upright post, and a first fixing member is disposed in the fixing plug for fixing the fixing plug in the upright post. The electric scooter can be folded by rotating the pole and a pair of handlebars. When folded, it is small in size and easy to carry. The handlebars can be locked by inserting and removing the locking plugs. It is simple, quick and easy, and requires no force, making it very user-friendly for users with less strength.

[0008] As a further improvement of the invention: a foldable basket is mounted on the pole via a basket mounting bracket, and a folding control component is also mounted on the basket mounting bracket to control the folding or unfolding of the basket. Existing electric scooters typically do not have a basket, but this electric scooter, by incorporating a foldable basket, allows users to place their personal belongings in the basket, rather than carrying them on one shoulder, hanging them on the handlebars, or on their wrists. This effectively improves the user's balance while riding, enhances the safety of the electric scooter, and reduces the probability of accidents.

[0009] Preferably, the basket includes at least three frames and a surrounding fabric matching the shape of the at least three frames. Sliding elements are fixedly installed on each frame. The basket mounting component includes a second tube with a square hole on its front side. Grooves for the sliding elements to slide left and right are formed on the top and bottom sidewalls of the second tube near the square hole. The folding control assembly includes an arc-shaped plate matching the shape of the second tube. The left and right sides of the arc-shaped plate are connected to the frames on the left and right sides of the grooves via crescent-shaped connecting rods. The arc-shaped plate is connected to the second tube via a half-threaded bolt. The second tube has threaded holes whose position and shape match the half-threaded bolts. A round-headed pin through-hole is formed on the upright for the half-threaded bolt to insert. Folding and unfolding of the basket can be achieved by rotating the half-threaded bolts, making the operation simple, convenient, and quick.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention: a headlight assembly with an adjustable illumination angle is installed on the pole, and an adjustment component for changing the illumination angle of the headlight assembly is also installed in the pole. By adjusting the illumination angle of the headlight assembly, the illumination range of the headlight angle can be changed, making it suitable for various scenarios with different lighting conditions, thus broadening its applicability.

[0011] Preferably, the headlight assembly includes a headlight housing mounted on a pole and a headlight body rotatably mounted in the headlight housing via a second rotating shaft; the central axis of the second rotating shaft is perpendicular to the forward direction of the electric scooter; the headlight body includes a headlight and a half-gear fixedly mounted on the rear side of the headlight, with a hole formed between the half-gears for the second rotating shaft to pass through; the adjustment assembly includes a rack vertically slidably mounted in the pole and meshing with the half-gear, a sliding pin vertically mounted on the front of the rack, and a strip-shaped hole for the sliding pin to slide up and down on the front of the pole; the adjustment assembly also includes a support tube and a limiting tube fixedly fitted onto the outside of the pole from top to bottom, the distance between the support tube and the limiting tube being equal to the length of the strip-shaped hole; a rotating sleeve is rotatably mounted on the support tube and the limiting tube, the rotating sleeve having an inclined groove for the sliding pin to slide in, the left end of the inclined groove being higher than the right end, a second fixing member being provided on the rotating sleeve, and four limiting holes for engaging the second fixing member being equidistantly provided on the limiting tube. The headlight angle can be changed by rotating the rotating sleeve, which is easy to operate.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention: the front wheel is rotatably mounted in the front fork, the front fork is mounted in the front fork mount, and the lower side of the front fork mount is rotatably mounted on the vehicle body through the wheel seat; the bottom of the hinge is in contact with the top of the front fork mount; a front mounting hole is provided on the lower side of the front side of the hinge, and a rear mounting hole is provided on the lower side of the rear side, the central axis of the front mounting hole and the rear mounting hole are both perpendicular to the forward direction of the electric scooter; the hinge is hinged to the front side of the front fork mount through the front mounting hole and the quick release pin, and hinged to the rear side of the front fork mount through the rear mounting hole and two hexagon socket head cap screws.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention: the fixing plug includes a horizontal plate, a set of parallel vertical plates are vertically installed below the horizontal plate, and a partition is installed on both the horizontal plate and the set of parallel vertical plates. The partition is perpendicular to the horizontal plate and the set of parallel vertical plates respectively. Pressure blocks for pressing down the handlebars are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the partition. A first fixing member mounting seat is provided between the lower sides of the set of parallel vertical plates. The first fixing member mounting seat has a mounting hole for mounting the first fixing member. The central axis of the mounting hole is parallel to the forward direction of the electric scooter.

[0014] Preferably, the first fixing member includes a plug fixedly installed on the rear side of the mounting hole. The plug is fixedly connected to one end of a round-headed pin by a first return spring. The pin portion of the round-headed pin extends from the front side of the mounting hole and passes through the upright to extend outside the upright. The mounting base has a hole for pressing the round-headed pin.

[0015] As a further improvement to the invention, a support foot is provided on one side of the vehicle body to facilitate parking the electric scooter.

[0016] As a further improvement to the present invention, reflective strips are provided on the rear foot brake, the front of the upright, and the left and right sides of the vehicle body to improve the safety of the electric scooter when riding in dim conditions and to serve as a warning through reflection.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The electric scooter with a fully detachable and foldable upright provided by this invention has good portability. The upright of the electric scooter is detachably hinged to the front of the scooter body via a hinge joint. A pair of handlebars are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting base, so the upright and the pair of handlebars can be folded up after use, saving the volume of the electric scooter. After folding, the pair of handlebars are parallel to the upright, preventing them from extending too far and causing tripping or collisions. At the same time, a fixing plug is inserted into the upright to fix the pair of handlebars in a horizontal position, preventing the handlebars from rotating during use. In addition, the upright of the electric scooter can be completely removed, facilitating maintenance and replacement. Therefore, the electric scooter has better portability. At the same time, the electric scooter has a simple structure, high practicality, and is very suitable for mass production and use. Attached Figure Description

[0056] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown, the electric scooter with a fully detachable and foldable upright provided by the present invention includes a frame 1, an upright 3 detachably hinged to the front end of the frame 1 via a hinge 2, and a handlebar assembly 4 disposed on the top of the upright 3. The frame 1 includes a main body 101 for standing, and a battery compartment and a controller compartment are disposed within the main body 101. A battery is installed in the battery compartment, and a main controller is installed in the controller compartment. A switch for starting or stopping the electric scooter is provided at the front end of the main body 101, and the user starts or stops the electric scooter by stepping on the switch. A support leg is provided on one side of the main body 101 in the frame 1. A front wheel 104 and at least one rear wheel 105 are rotatably mounted at the front end and rear end of the main body 101, respectively. In the figure, there are two rear wheels 105. The front wheel 104 is rotatably mounted in the front fork 102. The top of the front fork 102 is a seat tube, which is rotatably mounted in the front fork mounting bracket 108. The front fork mounting bracket 108 includes a front fork sleeve and a base plate disposed on the top of the front fork sleeve. A clamp for connecting to the top seat tube of the front fork 102 is mounted on the top of the base plate. A bending plate 107 is mounted on the front end of the main body 101. The bending plate 107 has a hole for the front fork mounting bracket 108 to pass through. A wheel seat 109 is fixedly mounted on the front end of the main body 101 and the bending plate 107. The lower side of the front fork mounting bracket 108 is rotatably mounted in the wheel seat 109 via a needle roller bearing. Two rear wheels 105 are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the rear fork 103. A drive motor is disposed in the rear fork 103. A rear foot brake 106 for braking is mounted on the rear end of the main body 101. By pressing down on the rear foot brake 106 to make it contact the rear wheel 105, the rear wheel 105 can be braked. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Reflective strips are provided on the rear foot brake 106, the front of the upright 3, and the left and right sides of the vehicle body 1. In dim conditions, the reflective strips can reflect light when exposed to light, making the electric scooter noticeable, reducing the accident rate, and improving the safety of the electric scooter.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the top of the hinge 2 is detachably and fixedly connected to the upright 3. The top of the hinge 2 has a top groove 201 for inserting the bottom of the upright 3, and the bottom of the upright 3 is bolted to the top groove 201 by two bolts. The bottom of the hinge 2 has an open bottom groove 202 for inserting the top of the fork mount 108. The open design is to make it easier for the hinge 2 to separate from the fork mount 108 when rotating the upright 3.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the front and rear sides of the bottom of the hinge 2 are detachably hinged to the front and rear sides of the vehicle body 1, respectively. The bottom of the hinge 2 is in contact with the top of the front fork mounting seat 108. A front mounting hole 203A is provided on the lower side of the front side of the hinge 2, and a rear mounting hole 203B is provided on the lower side of the rear side of the hinge 2. The central axes of the front mounting hole 203A and the rear mounting hole 203B are perpendicular to the forward direction of the electric scooter. Small and medium supports 1081B are provided at the left and right ends of the front mounting hole 203A, and front small supports 1081A for placing quick-release pins are provided on the front side of the two small and medium supports 1081B, respectively. Rear small supports 1081C are provided at both ends of the rear mounting hole 203B, respectively. The two front small supports 1081A, the two small and medium supports 1081B, and the two rear small supports 1081C are all fixedly installed on the top of the base plate of the front fork mounting seat 108. The front side of the hinge 2 is hinged to the two small and medium supports 1081B on the front side of the fork mount 108 via the front mounting hole 203A and the quick-release pin 5. The quick-release pin 5 passes through the small and medium supports 1081B, the front mounting hole 203A, and the small and medium supports 1081B in sequence. The rear side of the hinge 2 is hinged to the two small rear supports 1081C on the rear side of the fork mount 108 via the rear mounting hole 203B and two hexagon socket head cap screws. One hexagon socket head cap screw passes through the left end of the left small rear support 1081C and the rear mounting hole 203B, and the other hexagon socket head cap screw passes through the right end of the right small rear support 1081C and the rear mounting hole 203B. The holes on the two small rear supports 1081C for the hexagon socket head cap screws are not threaded, but the rear mounting hole 203B has threads that match the two hexagon socket head cap screws. After removing the quick-release pin 5, rotate the hinge 2 backward. The two hex bolts will rotate within the two rear small supports 1081C under the action of the hinge 2. Removing the quick-release pin 5 requires minimal effort from the user and is very simple, whereas existing electric scooters usually require a wrench to secure it, demanding a certain amount of strength from the user. When not in use, the quick-release pin 5 can be inserted into the two front small supports 1081A for storage.

[0059] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 18 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 22 As shown, a foldable basket 7 is mounted on the upright 3 via a basket mounting bracket 6. The basket mounting bracket 6 also has a folding control assembly 8 that controls the folding or unfolding of the basket 7. The basket 7 includes at least three frames 701 and a covering 702 that matches the shape of the at least three frames 701. There are seven frames 701 in the figure. Each frame 701 is fixedly mounted with a sliding member 703. The sliding member 703 includes a vertical shaft that can slide simultaneously in two grooves 603 and a connecting plate that connects the vertical shaft to the frame 701. The basket mounting bracket 6 includes a second tube 601. A square hole 602 is formed on the front of the second tube 601. Grooves 603 for the sliding member 703 to slide left and right are formed on the side walls of the second tube 601 at the top and bottom of the square hole 602. Both grooves 603 have a limiting cylinder at their center to restrict the sliding of the central frame 701. The limiting cylinder ensures that the frame 701 always stays in the middle of the second tube 601. This design helps the basket 7 to reach the preset state better when unfolded. The folding control assembly 8 includes an arc-shaped plate 801 that matches the shape of the second tube 601. The left and right sides of the arc-shaped plate 801 are connected to the frames 701 located on the left and right sides of the groove 603 by crescent-shaped connecting rods 802. The arc-shaped plate 801 is connected to the second tube 601 by a half-threaded bolt 803. The second tube 601 has threaded holes whose position and shape match the half-threaded bolt 803. The upright 3 has a round-headed pin through hole for the half-threaded bolt 803 to extend into. The semi-threaded bolt 803 passes sequentially through the arc-shaped plate 801, the second tube 601, and the upright 3. The diameter of the smooth portion of the semi-threaded bolt 803 is larger than the diameter of the threaded portion. The smooth portion does not pass through the arc-shaped plate 801 but abuts against it. The hole on the arc-shaped plate 801 is only for the threaded portion to pass through. The arc-shaped plate 801 and the second tube 601 are connected by two second return springs. A guide rod is also provided between the arc-shaped plate 801 and the second tube 601 to limit the path of the two second return springs respectively. By rotating the half-threaded bolt 803, the arc plate 801 and the second tube 601 can be moved closer and further apart. When the half-threaded bolt 803 is screwed into the upright 3, the smooth part of the half-threaded bolt 803 will press against the arc plate 801 and give it a forward force. The second return spring is in a compressed state. When the half-threaded bolt 803 is screwed out of the upright 3, the second return spring gradually returns to its natural extension state and gives the arc plate 801 a backward force.

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 11 , Figure 23, Figure 24 , Figure 25 As shown, a headlight assembly 9 with an adjustable illumination angle is mounted on the pole 3, and an adjustment assembly 10 for adjusting the illumination angle of the headlight assembly 9 is also installed in the pole 3. The headlight assembly 9 includes a lamp housing 901 mounted on the pole 3 and a lamp body rotatably mounted in the lamp housing 901 via a second rotating shaft 902. The lamp housing 901 is light-transmitting and made of transparent material. The central axis of the second rotating shaft 902 is perpendicular to the forward direction of the electric scooter. The lamp body includes a headlight 903 and a half-gear 904 fixedly mounted on the rear side of the headlight 903. A hole is formed between the half-gear 904 of the headlight 903 for the second rotating shaft 902 to pass through. The adjustment assembly 10 includes a rack 1001 vertically slidably mounted in the pole 3 and meshing with the half-gear 904. A sliding pin 1002 is vertically mounted on the front of the rack 1001, and a strip-shaped hole 301 is opened on the front of the pole 3 for the sliding pin 1002 to slide up and down. The adjustment assembly 10 also includes a support tube 1003 and a limiting tube 1004, which are fixedly sleeved around the upright 3 from top to bottom. The distance between the support tube 1003 and the limiting tube 1004 is equal to the length of the strip hole 301. A rotating sleeve 1005 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the support tube 1003 and the limiting tube 1004. The rotating sleeve 1005 has an inclined groove 1006 for sliding the sliding pin 1002. The left end of the inclined groove 1006 is higher than the right end. A second fixing member 1007 is provided on the rotating sleeve 1005. Four limiting holes 1008 for engaging the second fixing member 1007 are equidistantly provided on the outside of the limiting tube 1004. By rotating the rotating sleeve 1005, the illumination range of the headlight 903 can be changed by rotating it up and down. When the headlight 903 is rotated to the top, the illumination range is larger and farther, while when the headlight 903 is rotated to the bottom, the illumination range is smaller and closer. By rotating the rotating sleeve 1005, the second fixing member 1007 can be screwed into the limiting hole 1008 at different positions, thus fixing the illumination angle of the headlight 903.

[0061] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17As shown, the handlebar assembly 4 includes a mounting base 401 fixedly sleeved on the top of the upright 3, the top of the upright 3 having a square tubular structure. The mounting base 401 includes a first tube sleeved on the outside of the upright 3 and elliptical plates respectively installed on the front and back of the first tube. A pair of handlebars 402 are rotatably mounted on the left and right sides of the mounting base 401, respectively. The handlebars 402 are hinged between the left and right sides of the two elliptical plates via a first pivot. A fixing plug 403 for fixing the pair of handlebars 402 in a horizontal position is inserted into the upright 3. The fixing plug 403 is provided with a first fixing member 404 for fixing the fixing plug 403 in the upright 3. The fixing plug 403 includes a horizontal plate 4031, and baffles that can engage with the outer surface of the upright 3 are provided around the horizontal plate 4031. A set of parallel vertical plates 4032 is vertically installed below the horizontal plate 4031. A partition 4033 is installed on both the horizontal plate 4031 and the set of parallel vertical plates 4032. The partition 4033 is perpendicular to the horizontal plate 4031 and the set of parallel vertical plates 4032 respectively. Pressure blocks 4034 for pressing down the handlebar 402 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the partition 4033 respectively. The surface of the handlebar 402 in contact with the pressure block 4034 is inclined, and the surface of the pressure block 4034 in contact with the handlebar 402 is also inclined. The two inclined surfaces match each other. The inclined surfaces of the pressure block 4034 are inclined from the outside towards the partition 4033, which can better press down the handlebar 402. A first fixing member mounting base 4035 is provided between the lower sides of a set of parallel vertical plates 4032. The first fixing member mounting base 4035 has a mounting hole for mounting the first fixing member 404, and the central axis of the mounting hole is parallel to the forward direction of the electric scooter. The first fixing member 404 includes a plug 4041 fixedly installed on the rear side of the mounting hole. The plug 4041 is fixedly connected to one end of a round-headed pin 4043 through a first return spring 4042. The structure of the second fixing member 1007 is the same as that of the first fixing member 404. The pin portion of the round-headed pin 4043 extends from the front side of the mounting hole and passes through the upright 3 to extend outside the upright 3. The mounting base 401 has a hole for pressing the round-headed pin 4043.

[0062] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Initially, the electric scooter is in a folded state, such as... Figure 1As shown, when using it, first straighten the upright 3 to a vertical position. The hinge 2 will rotate with the upright 3. At this time, the two hex bolts will rotate in the two rear small supports 1081C under the drive of the hinge 2, so that the bottom of the hinge 2 is in contact with the top of the front fork mounting 108. Press the button on the handle of the quick release pin 5 to retract the steel ball at the head of the pin. While keeping the button pressed, pull the quick release pin 5 out of the hole on the two front small supports 1081A and then insert it into the hole on the middle small support 1081B and the front mounting hole 203A. Release the button, the steel ball pops out, and the quick release pin 5 can no longer be pulled out, so that the hinge 2 and the front fork mounting 108 no longer move relative to each other, and the upright 3 remains in a vertical position.

[0063] Push the round-headed pin 4043 into the upright post 3 to compress the first return spring 4042. The first fixing member 404 is no longer stuck in the side wall of the upright post 3. Pull the fixing plug 403 out of the upright post 3 and straighten the pair of handlebars 402 to a horizontal position. Then reinsert the round-headed pin 4043 into the upright post 3. The first return spring 4042 is compressed until the round-headed pin 4043 reaches the round-headed pin through hole on the upright post 3. At this time, the first return spring 4042 will return to its natural extension state. Push the round-headed pin 4043 out of the round-headed pin through hole to the outside of the upright post 3. The cooperation between the round-headed pin 4043 and the round-headed pin through hole reduces the probability of the fixing plug 403 moving vertically in the upright post 3, and can better fix the pair of handlebars 402 in a horizontal position.

[0064] Tighten the half-threaded bolt 803 so that it gradually unscrews from the upright 3. The second return spring gradually extends. Under the action of the second return spring, the arc plate 801 gradually moves away from the second tube 601. The two crescent-shaped connecting rods 802 move backward as the arc plate 801 moves, pulling the frame 701 located on the left and right sides of the groove 603 to the left and right sides of the groove 603 respectively. The surrounding cloth 702 opens as the frame 701 separates. After the basket 7 is unfolded, stop turning the half-threaded bolt 803. You can put your backpack, shopping bag and other items in the basket 7.

[0065] Rotate the rotating sleeve 1005. The rotating sleeve 1005 drives the sliding pin 1002 to slide up and down in the strip hole 301 through the inclined sliding groove 1006. The sliding pin 1002 drives the rack 1001 to slide up and down in the upright 3. The rack 1001 drives the half gear 904 to rotate, thereby driving the headlight 903 to rotate up and down, changing its illumination angle. Users can adjust it according to their own needs.

[0066] After adjustment, the electric scooter is like Figure 2As shown, pressing the switch starts the drive motor, causing the two rear wheels 105 to rotate and the electric scooter to move forward. When braking is needed, pressing the switch to turn off the drive motor and then pressing down on the rear foot brake 106 with your foot makes the rear foot brake 106 contact the rear wheels 105, braking the rear wheels 105. In addition to braking, the rear foot brake 106 also serves to protect against mud and water splashed up by the rear wheels 105 as they rotate.

[0067] After riding, loosen the half-threaded bolt 803, allowing more of it to extend into the upright 3. The curved plate 801 gradually approaches the second tube 601. The two crescent-shaped connecting rods 802 move forward with the curved plate 801, pushing the frames 701 on the left and right sides of the groove 603 towards the center of the groove 603 until all the frames 701 are close together. The wrap 702 also folds as the frames 701 close, thus completing the folding of the basket 7. Then, pull out the fixing plug 403, place the handlebars 402 in a vertical position, and then insert the fixing plug 403 back into the upright 3. Next, pull out the quick-release pin 5 from the holes on the front mounting hole 203A and the small support 1081B, insert it into the holes on the two front small supports 1081A, and then fold the upright 3 towards the vehicle body 1, returning the electric scooter to its initial state.

[0068] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the specific structure shown in the accompanying drawings in the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art.
