A seat 9 is arranged at one end of the support frame 8 away from the swivel seat 7. The support frame 8 is provided with a plurality of first limiting holes 10, and the rear bracket 3 is provided with a plurality of second limiting holes 11, and the corresponding first limiting holes 10 and second limiting holes 11 are matched through a first latch 12.

[0027] During specific use, the support frame 8 is rotated to adjust the inclination angle of the support frame 8. At this time, the support frame 8 slides on the rear frame 3. The distance between the seat 9 and the handlebar of the front frame 1 is adjusted by adjusting the inclination angle of the support frame 8 to meet the needs of users of different body shapes, and a group of first limiting holes 10 are connected to the second limiting holes 11 accordingly.

[0028] After the adjustment is completed, the first latch 12 is inserted into the corresponding first limiting hole 10 and the second limiting hole 11 to limit the rear bracket 3 and the support frame 8 for the user to ride.

[0029] During actual use, a limiting structure, such as a nut, is provided on the first latch pin 12 so that the first latch pin 12 will not fall off at will, and can be adjusted according to specific use conditions.

[0030] In addition, since the rear bracket 3 is rotatably arranged on the protrusion 2, and the support frame 8 is rotatably arranged on the rotating seat 7, after the riding is finished, the first latch 12 is removed, and the Figure 3 , rotate the support frame 8 counterclockwise and rotate the rear support 3 clockwise to achieve the effect of folding and recycling.

[0031] By providing structures such as the support frame 8, the first limiting hole 10 and the second limiting hole 11, it is convenient to adjust the distance between the seat 9 and the handlebars of the front bracket 1 to meet the needs of users of different body shapes and improve the flexibility of the electric tricycle frame. At the same time, since the rear bracket 3 is rotatably set on the protrusion 2 and the support frame 8 is rotatably set on the swivel seat 7, the effect of folding and recycling can be achieved, thereby improving the use efficiency of the electric tricycle frame.

[0032] Taking into account that the inclination angle and height of the seat 9 will also change after the inclination angle of the support frame 8 is adjusted, a rotating groove 13 is opened at the end of the support frame 8 away from the swivel seat 7, and the internal rotation connection of the rotating groove 13 is connected with a rotating block 14, and a through groove is opened on the rotating block 14, and the internal rotation connection of the through groove is connected with a threaded cylinder 15, and the internal thread of the threaded cylinder 15 is connected with a threaded rod 16, and the threaded rod 16 passes through the upper surface of the threaded cylinder 15, the seat 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded cylinder 15, and the bottom of the threaded cylinder 15 is fixedly connected with an adjustment block 19.

[0034] Specifically, when the seat 9 needs to be raised, the threaded cylinder 15 is rotated by the adjustment block 19. Since the threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 15, and with the cooperation of the limit groove 17 and the limit rod 18, the threaded rod 16 drives the seat 9 to move upward, and the limit rod 18 slides upward inside the limit groove 17.

[0035] When the seat 9 needs to be lowered, the threaded cylinder 15 is rotated in the opposite direction through the adjustment block 19. Since the threaded rod 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded cylinder 15 and with the cooperation of the limit groove 17 and the limit rod 18, the threaded rod 16 drives the seat 9 to move downward, and the limit rod 18 slides downward inside the limit groove 17.

[0036] At the same time, the rotating block 14 is rotatably arranged inside the rotating groove 13, so that the inclination angle of the seat 9 can be adjusted.

[0037] By setting structures such as the rotating block 14, the threaded cylinder 15 and the limiting groove 17, the height and the tilt angle of the seat 9 can be flexibly adjusted to match the change in the distance between the seat 9 and the handlebars of the front bracket 1, thereby further improving the flexibility of the use of the electric tricycle frame.

[0040] A plurality of third limiting holes 22 are provided to enable flexible adjustment of the tilt angle of the seat 9 .

[0041] In addition, the adjustment block 19 can be set to a regular polygonal structure, and the slot 21 matches it to facilitate the docking and cooperation of the arc plate 20.

[0042] In order to improve the comfort of the seat 9, an inner cavity 25 is provided inside the seat 9, and a shock absorbing assembly is provided inside the inner cavity 25, and the shock absorbing assembly includes a first plate 26, a second plate 27 and a spring 28, the first plate 26 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity 25, the second plate 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity 25, one end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the first plate 26, and the other end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the second plate 27, and the spring 28 is provided in plurality. The first plate 26 can use a hard plate structure to ensure the stability of the support; the first plate 26 can use a plate rubber material to improve the comfort of use.

[0043] The first plate 26 , the second plate 27 and the spring 28 are provided to achieve a shock-absorbing effect and improve the comfort of the seat 9 .

[0044] In order to adjust the elasticity of the seat 9 and meet the needs of different users, an airbag 29 is arranged inside the inner cavity 25. When the airbag 29 expands, the elasticity of the seat 9 decreases, and when the airbag 29 contracts, the elasticity of the seat 9 increases. The top end of the airbag 29 is fixedly connected to the first plate 26, and the bottom end of the airbag 29 is fixedly connected to the second plate 27. By providing the airbag 29, the elasticity of the seat 9 can be adjusted to meet the needs of different users.

[0046] Specifically, rotating the threaded block 31 drives the piston block 32 to move toward the airbag 29, so that the gas inside the air cylinder 30 enters the interior of the airbag 29, causing the airbag 29 to expand and become larger; when the threaded block 31 is rotated in the opposite direction, the piston block 32 is driven to move in a direction away from the airbag 29, so that the gas inside the airbag 29 enters the interior of the air cylinder 30, causing the airbag 29 to shrink and become smaller.

[0047] The friction coefficient between the threaded block 31 and the air cylinder 30 is appropriate, and random rotation will not occur; and a structure such as a latch may be provided between the threaded block 31 and the air cylinder 30 to achieve a limiting effect.
