AI Technical Summary
Existing four-wheeled vehicles can only fold left and right when folding, and the wheel fixture and wheel cannot be folded, resulting in inconvenient packaging, low convenience of use and easy to miss installation.
A four-wheeled vehicle that is easy to fold is designed, using a movable connecting rod between the crossframe and the frame. The bottom of the frame can be folded and installed with a wheel fixture. The fixture is equipped with a locking sleeve and a locking table. The locking or unlocking of the frame and the wheel fixture is achieved through the rotation of the locking sleeve.
The folding of the cross frame drives the lock sleeve to rotate, which enables convenient locking or unlocking of the frame and the wheel fixture, which improves the convenience of the four-wheeled vehicle and reduces the folded floor area.

If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0022] See attached Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a foldable four-wheeled vehicle comprises a frame 1, a cross frame 2 installed between the frames 1, and a handle 3 and a brake handle 4 installed on the frame 1; a connecting rod 5 movably connected between the cross frame 2 and the frame 1; it is characterized in that a wheel fixing frame 6 and a wheel 601 installed on the wheel fixing frame 6 are foldably installed at the bottom of the frame 1; a fixing seat 101 is also installed on the frame 1; a fixing seat 101 is mounted on the fixing seat 101, which is connected to the cross frame 2 and can be rotated when the cross frame 2 is opened or folded to lock or unlock the wheel fixing frame 6. The locking sleeve 201 is provided on the wheel fixing frame 6 to facilitate locking of the locking sleeve 201. The locking sleeve 201 rotates when the cross frame 2 is opened or folded, so that when the locking sleeve 201 contacts the locking platform 602, the frame 1 and the wheel fixing frame 6 are locked. When the locking sleeve 201 is separated from the locking platform 602, the frame 1 and the wheel fixing frame 6 are unlocked, and the cross frame 2 is folded at the same time, thereby facilitating locking or folding of the frame 1 and the wheel fixing frame 6, improving convenience of use, and reducing the footprint of the overall folding of the four-wheeled vehicle.
[0023] See attached Figure 1-2 As shown, a rotating shaft 102 for limiting the axial position of the locking sleeve 201 is also installed on the fixing seat 101, so that the locking sleeve 201 can rotate along the rotating shaft 102; a locking hook 202 adapted to the locking platform 602 is provided on the locking sleeve 201; a rotating pin 603 is installed between the frame 1 and the wheel fixing frame 6, so that the wheel fixing frame 6 can be rotated and folded along the rotating pin 603; the locking hook 202 is driven by the locking sleeve 201 to rotate along the rotating shaft 102, and the locking hook 202 is separated from the locking platform 602, so that the wheel fixing frame 6 can be folded along the rotating pin 603, and when the locking hook 202 hooks the locking platform 602, the wheel fixing frame 6 and the frame 1 are locked, thereby facilitating the folding and locking of the wheel fixing frame 6.
[0024] See attached Figure 3-5As shown, the frame 1 includes a left frame 103 and a right frame 104 connected via a cross frame 2; a locking piece 105, an unlocking belt 106 connected to the locking piece 105, and a locking rod 501 arranged on the connecting rod 5 and capable of locking the cross frame 2 are movably mounted on the cross frame 2; a pressing rod 107 and a locking groove 108 adapted to the locking rod 501 are arranged on the locking piece 105; a connecting pin 109 is installed between the locking piece 105 and the cross frame 2; an integrated torsion spring 110 is installed between the locking piece 105, the connecting pin 109 and the cross frame 2; the torsion spring 110 0 One end is fixed between the connecting pin 109 and the cross frame 2, one end is fixed between the cross frame 2 and the locking piece 105, and the other end is sleeved on the pressure rod 107; the unlocking belt 106 passes through the seat cushion 203 and is connected with the locking pieces 105 on both sides of the cross frame 2; by pulling the unlocking belt 106, the unlocking belt 106 pulls the locking piece 105 to rotate along the connecting pin 109, and the locking groove 108 on the locking piece 105 is separated from the locking rod 501, so that the cross frame 2 is folded, thereby driving the left frame 103 and the right frame 104 to fold, thereby facilitating the folding of the left frame 103 and the right frame 104.
[0025] See attached Figure 1 As shown, a seat cushion 203 and an article placement box 204 are also installed on the cross frame 2; a crutch fixing clip 111 for fixing a crutch is also installed on the left frame 103; the crutch is fixed by using the crutch fixing clip 111, thereby facilitating the fixing of the crutch.
[0026] During the use of the present invention, when the four-wheeled vehicle is folded, the unlocking belt 106 is pulled, and the unlocking belt 106 pulls the locking piece 105 to rotate along the connecting pin 109, and the locking groove 108 on the locking piece 105 is separated from the locking rod 501, so that the cross frame 2 is folded, thereby driving the left frame 103 and the right frame 104 to fold. When the cross frame 2 is folded, it also drives the locking sleeve 201 to rotate along the rotating shaft 102, and the locking sleeve 201 drives the locking hook 202 to rotate along the rotating shaft 102, and the locking hook 202 is separated from the locking platform 602, and the wheel fixing frame 6 can be folded along the rotating pin 603, so that the wheel fixing frame 6 and the left frame 103 and the right frame 104 are folded; When the four-wheel vehicle needs to be used, the cross frame 2 is spread outwards, and one end of the cross frame 2 drives the locking sleeve 201 to rotate along the rotating shaft 102, and the locking sleeve 201 drives the locking hook 202 to rotate along the rotating shaft 102 until the locking hook 202 on the locking sleeve 201 hooks the locking platform 602 on the left frame 103 and the right frame 104, thereby locking the left frame 103 and the right frame 104 with the wheel fixing frame 6, and while the cross frame 2 is spread outwards, the locking groove 108 on the locking piece 105 connected to the other end of the cross frame 2 hooks the locking rod 501, and the cross frame 2 is fixed, so that the four-wheel vehicle can be used normally.
[0027] The above embodiments are intended to illustrate the present invention, not to limit the present invention. Any solution that is a simple transformation of the present invention belongs to the protection scope of the present invention.
