Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric scooters, and in particular to an electric scooter with double pedals. Background Art

[0002] Electric scooters are loved by many young people because of their small size, light weight, fun to ride, and greatly reduced space after folding. The riding posture of electric scooters is usually standing. However, standing riding does have certain safety hazards. When standing, the rider's center of gravity is relatively high, which is not conducive to riding control. In addition, when standing, it is difficult to move the legs to alternate and rest, and the rider's legs are easily fatigued.

[0003] For this reason, many electric scooters on the market are equipped with detachable seats, which are installed later. If the detachable seat is installed, the electric scooter can no longer be ridden in a standing position because of the obstruction of the seat on the foot pedal. If you want to choose to stand and ride again, you must remove the seat. The detachable seat is fixed to the foot pedal of the vehicle body with fastening bolts, and each installation or removal requires tools. Therefore, the electric scooters on the market can only choose between standing riding mode and sitting riding mode, and cannot switch between them conveniently. Moreover, after the detachable seat is installed, the scooter is difficult to be folded as conveniently as before. Therefore, how to better solve the problem of switching riding modes of current electric scooters?

[0004] The embodiment of the present invention provides an electric scooter with a double-layer foot pedal, which solves the above problems well. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electric scooter with a double-layer foot pedal, which can provide two riding modes: standing and sitting, and the two modes can be conveniently switched between each other without the aid of any tools, and can be easily switched by hand, thereby greatly improving the user experience. In addition, the electric scooter is also provided with a hidden folding basket, which allows the scooter to carry some items during riding, thereby expanding the use scenarios of the electric scooter.

[0006] The embodiments of the present invention can be implemented in the following ways:

[0007] An electric scooter with a double-layer foot pedal, the electric scooter comprising:

[0008] A handlebar assembly, wherein the handlebar assembly is used for the rider to hold the handlebar assembly with both hands to control the balance and steering of the vehicle body;

[0009] A double-layer footrest assembly, the double-layer footrest assembly is used for a rider to step on; and

[0010] A connecting base, the two ends of which are respectively hinged to the handlebar assembly and the double-layer foot pedal assembly, and the connecting base is provided with an accommodating space for accommodating a bicycle seat;

[0011] Among them, the double-layer foot pedal assembly is divided into an upper foot pedal and a lower foot pedal, the connecting base is hinged to the lower foot pedal, one end of the upper foot pedal is provided with a hinged seat, and the other end is hinged to the lower foot pedal, so that the upper foot pedal drives the seat to rotate around the hinge axis with the lower foot pedal, and the upper foot pedal is divided into an upright state and a horizontal state; when the upper foot pedal is in the horizontal state, the upper foot pedal is the treading surface when the rider is standing and riding, and the seat is placed in the accommodating space of the connecting base; when the upper foot pedal is in the vertical state, the seat can be used to provide hip support to the rider, and the lower foot pedal is the treading surface when the rider is sitting and riding.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower foot pedal includes a main foot pedal and a rear foot pedal, the front end of the main foot pedal is hinged to the connecting base, the rear end of the main foot pedal is fixedly connected to the rear foot pedal, and the foot pedal surface of the main foot pedal is lower than the foot pedal surface of the rear foot pedal, so that when the upper foot pedal is attached to the main foot pedal, the foot pedal surface of the upper foot pedal and the foot pedal surface of the rear foot pedal are flush, and a rear wheel assembly is provided under the rear foot pedal; the upper foot pedal is hinged to the rear foot pedal, and a plug hole is provided on the rear foot pedal.

[0013] Furthermore, a plug-in shaft lock is provided on the connecting base, and the plug-in shaft lock includes a sliding plug-in shaft. A corresponding socket is provided on the lower foot pedal. When the sliding plug-in shaft is inserted into the socket, the lower foot pedal is fixedly connected to the connecting base. When the sliding plug-in shaft is disengaged from the socket, the lower foot pedal can rotate around the hinge axis between it and the connecting base. At this time, the lower foot pedal rotates and folds around the connecting base. That is to say, the plug-in shaft lock is used to control the folding of the scooter.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper foot pedal includes a plate body and a built-in plug plate, the plate body is provided with a sliding channel, and the built-in plug plate is slidably arranged in the sliding channel; when the upper foot pedal is in a vertical state, the upper end of the built-in plug plate abuts against the seat, and the lower end of the built-in plug plate is inserted into the plug hole of the rear foot pedal to lock the upper foot pedal in the vertical state, and the built-in plug plate is used to control the rotation of the upper foot pedal.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting arm is provided at the upper end of the plate body of the upper foot pedal, and a fixed axis hole is provided on the connecting arm. A rotating axis hole is provided at the rear of the seat, and the rotating axis hole is connected with the fixed axis hole through a pin shaft, so that the seat can be flipped around the plate body connecting arm, so that the seat can be better placed in the accommodating space of the connecting base when the upper foot pedal is in a horizontal state.

[0016] Furthermore, an elastic damper is provided under the seat, and a limit plate is provided at the upper end of the plate body. The limit plate and the connecting arm are arranged on both sides of the plate body. The limit plate is used to clamp the elastic damper so that the elastic damper can produce a certain damping effect during the flipping of the seat, so that the seat can be better maintained in a horizontal state. Conversely, when the seat is flipped in the opposite direction, that is, when the upper foot pedal needs to be laid down and converted into a horizontal state, a certain damping force needs to be overcome to flip the seat. The beneficial effect of this arrangement is to keep the seat in a horizontal state more stably.

[0017] Furthermore, the double-layer foot pedal assembly also includes a hidden basket, which is installed on one side of the foot pedal surface of the upper foot pedal, and the hidden basket can be switched between a folded state and an unfolded state; when the upper foot pedal is in the vertical state, the hidden basket is in the unfolded state to store items; when the hidden basket is in the folded state, the hidden basket is attached to the foot pedal surface of the upper foot pedal and becomes a part of the foot pedal surface for the rider to step on.

[0018] Furthermore, the hidden vehicle basket includes a footrest surface connecting plate, two upper connecting rods and two lower connecting rods; the footrest surface connecting plate is bent at two side surfaces, the two upper connecting rods are respectively located on the two side surfaces of the footrest surface connecting plate, and the two ends of the two upper connecting rods are respectively rotatably connected to the upper foot pedal and the upper end side surface of the footrest surface connecting plate; the two lower connecting rods are also respectively located on the two sides of the footrest surface connecting plate, and the two ends of the two lower connecting rods are respectively rotatably connected to the upper foot pedal and the lower end side surface of the footrest surface connecting plate; the upper foot pedal, the upper and lower connecting rods, and the footrest surface connecting plate constitute a parallel four-bar linkage mechanism in mechanics, and the footrest surface connecting plate is always parallel to the footrest surface of the upper foot pedal.

[0019] In summary, the beneficial effects of the electric scooter provided by the embodiment of the present invention are summarized as follows:

[0020] On the one hand, the electric scooter has two riding modes, namely, a standing riding mode and a sitting riding mode. The user can choose according to his or her current use needs, and the mode switching of the upper foot pedal is driven by the flipping of the seat, which is simple to operate. On the other hand, a hidden basket is provided on the upper foot pedal, which can be used to hold items when unfolded, and can be laid down together with the upper foot pedal after folding. In the folded state, it becomes a part of the footrest surface for the rider, and this design is very practical.

[0021] Next, the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the engineering drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0040] Figure 1 A three-dimensional diagram of the double-pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention when the upper foot pedal 30 is in a horizontal state, as shown in the figure, the upper foot pedal 30 is in a horizontal state, and the seat 50 is placed in the accommodating space 201 of the connecting base 20. At this time, the rider directly steps on the upper foot pedal 30, and the rider can stand and ride like riding an ordinary electric scooter.

[0041] Figure 2 A three-dimensional diagram of the double-pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention when the upper foot pedal 30 is in a vertical state, as shown in the figure, the upper foot pedal 30 is in a vertical state, and the seat 50 is in a horizontal position. The rider can sit on the seat 50 with both feet on the lower foot pedal 40, which is a sitting riding mode.

[0042] Figure 3A three-dimensional diagram of a double-layer pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention when the hidden basket 70 is in an unfolded state, as shown in the figure, a hidden basket 70 is arranged in the treading surface direction of the upper pedal 30, and the hidden basket has a folding mode and an unfolding mode, and only when the upper pedal is in a vertical state, that is, when a sitting riding mode is adopted, the hidden basket 70 can be unfolded, and has the capacity to carry articles after unfolding. Because the existing electric scooters need to be folded, therefore, no corresponding basket is designed to carry articles, and there are indeed many life situations in people's lives, such as shopping for groceries, picking up express deliveries, etc., which require the car to have a certain ability to carry articles, and the electric scooter 1.0 can well meet some life scenarios.

[0043] Figure 4 An exploded view of the connection base 20 of the double-pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, one end of the connection base 20 is provided with a stem pipe connection hole 202, and the stem pipe assembly 10 is inserted into the stem pipe connection hole 202 for hinged rotation, and the connection base 20 is provided with a base pin shaft hole 205 and a plug shaft lock base 203, and the plug shaft lock base 203 is provided with a sliding plug shaft hole 2031 and a base vertical hole 204, and matched with it is a plug shaft lock assembly, and the plug shaft lock assembly includes a plug shaft lock 208 and a vertical pressure spring 207, and the plug shaft lock 208 is provided with a vertical plug column 2082, and the vertical pressure spring 207 is sleeved on the vertical plug column 2082, and The vertical plug column 2082 is inserted into the vertical hole 204 of the base, and the plug shaft lock 208 is also provided with an inclined plate groove 2081. The sliding plug shaft 206 is provided with an plug shaft inclined plate 2061, and the plug shaft inclined plate 2061 is sleeved in the inclined plate groove 2081. The movement relationship of the plug shaft lock mechanism is: the rider steps on the upper surface of the plug shaft lock with his foot to make the plug shaft lock move downward, and through the action of the inclined plate groove 2081 and the plug shaft inclined plate 2061, the sliding plug shaft 206 moves outward along its own axis direction and away from the sliding plug shaft hole 2031. When the rider releases the plug shaft lock 208, the plug shaft lock returns to its initial position under the action of the vertical pressure spring 207.

[0044] Furthermore, a connecting pin hole 401 and a connecting plug shaft hole 402 are provided at the front end of the lower foot pedal 40, and the connecting pin shaft 403 is inserted into the base pin shaft hole 205 on the connecting base 20 and the connecting pin shaft hole 401 on the lower foot pedal 40 in sequence, so that the connecting base 20 and the lower foot pedal 40 are hinged together. When the plug shaft lock is in the initial position, the sliding plug shaft 206 is first inserted into the sliding plug shaft hole 2031 and then inserted into the connecting plug shaft hole 402. At this time, the connecting base 20 and the lower foot pedal 40 are connected. The sliding plug shaft 206 and the connecting pin shaft 403 are plugged together. Since the two shafts are in parallel, in this state, the lower footrest 40 and the connecting base 20 are in a fixed connection relationship and cannot rotate with each other. When the rider steps on the plug shaft lock 208, the plug shaft lock 208 drives the sliding plug shaft 206 to withdraw from the connecting plug shaft hole 402. At this time, the lower footrest 40 is allowed to rotate around the connecting pin shaft 403, and the electric scooter is allowed to be rotated and folded. The plug shaft lock 208 controls the folding of the electric scooter.

[0045] Figure 5 A front view of the upper foot pedal 30 of the double-step foot pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention during the folding process is shown. As shown in the figure, the upper foot pedal 30 is initially in a vertical state 31, passes through an intermediate process position 32, and finally reaches a horizontal state position 33.

[0046] It should be noted that when the vehicle seat 50 is in a horizontal state, the upper footrest 30 is locked in a vertical state. Only when the vehicle seat 50 begins to flip upward can the upper footrest 30 be unlocked. The control principle will be described in detail later.

[0047] After the vehicle seat 50 is flipped upward to position 52, it will be rotated and laid down together with the upper footrest 30. Finally, when the upper footrest 30 is attached to the lower footrest 40, that is, in a horizontal state, the vehicle seat 50 will be placed in the accommodating space 201 of the connecting base 20. At this time, the position of the vehicle seat is 54.

[0048] As shown in the figure, the hidden basket 70 is also shown in a folded state 71 and an unfolded state 72. When the upper footrest 30 is in a horizontal state, the hidden basket 70 is in the folded state 71, so that the hidden basket is attached to the upper footrest 30, forming a partial treading surface for the rider to step on. When the hidden basket 70 is in the unfolded state 72, it can provide a space for accommodating objects.

[0049] Figure 6An exploded view of a double-layer foot pedal of a double-layer foot pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, the lower foot pedal 40 includes a main foot pedal 41 and a rear foot pedal 42, the upper surface of the main foot pedal 41 is covered with a layer of silicone for anti-slip, thereby constituting a first silicone pedal board 404, and a lower plug hole 405 and a connecting fixing hole 406 are provided at the rear of the main foot pedal 41, and correspondingly, a connecting bolt 421 and an upper plug hole 422 are provided on the rear foot pedal 42, and the connecting bolt 421 is inserted into the connecting fixing hole 406 to fix the main foot pedal 41 and the rear foot pedal 42 together, and the upper plug hole 422 and the lower plug hole 405 are aligned up and down, and together constitute a plug hole for the built-in plug plate 304 of the upper foot pedal 30.

[0050] Furthermore, the front end of the upper foot pedal 30 is hinged to the seat 50, and the other end is hinged to the fixed hinge hole 423 on the rear foot pedal 42 through a hinge pin 309. The upper foot pedal 30 is provided with a first silicone foot pedal surface 301, a part of the first silicone foot pedal surface 301 covers the upper foot pedal 30, and the other part covers the rear foot pedal 42, thereby covering the connecting bolt 421, and the second silicone foot pedal 302 covers the hidden vehicle basket.

[0051] Figure 7 A three-dimensional diagram of the upper foot pedal of the double-layer foot pedal electric skateboard 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 8 This is an exploded view of the upper pedal, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The upper foot pedal includes a plate body 303 and a built-in plug plate 304. The plate body 303 has a built-in sliding channel 307. The built-in plug plate 304 slides in the sliding channel 307. The lower end of the plate body 303 is provided with a lower end hinged sealing plate 308. The lower end hinged sealing plate 308 is provided with a sealing plate outlet 3081 and a hinge axis hole 3082. The built-in plug plate 304 can pass through the sealing plate outlet 3081. The lower end hinged sealing plate 308 is also provided with a built-in spring 3041. The built-in spring 3041 can push the built-in plug plate 304 to return to its original position. The hinge pin 309 passes through the hinge axis hole 3082 and the fixed hinge hole 423 in turn, so that the upper foot pedal 30 can rotate on the rear foot pedal 42.

[0052] Fig. 9A three-dimensional diagram of the seat of the double-layer pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in the figure, a rotating shaft hole 501 is provided at the rear of the seat 50, a base 502 is provided at the lower part of the seat, a through hole is provided in the base 502, a sliding push rod 504 is provided in the through hole, a vertebral body 5041 is provided at one end of the sliding push rod, a push spring 503 is sleeved on the sliding push rod 504, one end of the push spring 503 acts on the base 502, and the other end acts on the sliding push rod 504, so that the sliding push rod 504 maintains a sliding tendency in the direction away from the base 502.

[0053] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment, the plate body 303 is provided with a connecting arm 306, and the connecting arm 306 is provided with a fixed shaft hole 3061. A pin is sequentially inserted through the rotating shaft hole 501 and the fixed shaft hole 3061, so that the seat 50 can be flipped around the axis of the rotating shaft hole.

[0054] Fig.10 A cross-sectional view of the double-layer foot pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention when the seat is in a horizontal state, as shown in the figure, when the seat 50 is in a horizontal state, the vertebral body 5041 of the sliding push rod just abuts against the damping plate 305, and the built-in plug plate 304 is pressed down at this time, so at this time the upper foot pedal 30 is locked and maintained in a vertical state because the built-in plug plate 304 is inserted into the upper plug hole 422 and the lower plug hole 405.

[0055] Furthermore, when the vehicle seat 50 is flipped, the sliding push rod 504 continues to act on the damping plate 305. As the flipping angle of the vehicle seat increases, their action points will slide from the upper conical surface of the vertebral body 5041 to the lower vertebral surface after passing through the vertebral body apex. Within this flipping range, the push spring 503 is always compressed, that is, it always generates resistance. Therefore, when flipping, it is necessary to overcome the damping force in order to flip the vehicle seat 50. When the vehicle seat 50 continues to be flipped, the vertebral body 5041 will be out of contact with the damping plate 305, and it will be easy to flip. At this time, the built-in plug plate 304 will automatically fall off the connection with the upper and lower plug holes under the action of the built-in spring 3041 and return to the initial position. In this way, the upper foot pedal 30 is unlocked and can rotate around the hinge axis with the rear foot pedal 42.

[0056] The benefit of such an arrangement is that the seat can maintain a certain resistance when in a horizontal state, thereby better locking the upper pedal in a vertical state, making it easier for the rider to ride.

[0057] Fig.11A three-dimensional diagram of a hidden basket 70 of a double-layer pedal electric scooter 1.0 provided in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the hidden basket 70 includes a pedal surface connecting plate 701, two upper connecting rods 702, two lower connecting rods 703 and two intermediate connecting rods 704. The pedal surface connecting plate 701 is folded and provided with two side edges 7011. One end of the two upper connecting rods 702 and the two lower connecting rods 703 are respectively hinged on the side edges 7011 of the pedal surface connecting plate 701, and their other ends are hinged on the side of the upper pedal 30 through a connecting rod pin 705. The upper connecting rod 702 and the lower connecting rod 703 are respectively hinged on the side edges 7011 of the pedal surface connecting plate 701. They are parallel to each other, so that the footrest surface connecting plate 701 is also parallel to the upper foot pedal 30 during the entire folding or unfolding process, so that the footrest surface connecting plate can be completely attached to the upper surface of the upper foot pedal after folding. When the upper footrest surface 30 is in a horizontal state, the footrest surface connecting plate serves as a part of the footrest surface for the rider to step on. The two ends of the middle connecting rod 704 are respectively hinged on the upper connecting rod 702 and the lower connecting rod 703. The main purpose is to improve the sealing performance of the hidden basket 70 and prevent items from being missed. The hidden basket 70 is suitable for carrying packaged items, but not for carrying bulk items.

[0058] In summary, the double-pedal electric scooter provided in the embodiment of the present invention has a double-layer pedal arrangement, so that the rider can choose to ride standing or sitting according to his or her needs. The two modes can be flexibly switched with each other, which solves the technical problems existing in current scooters.

The vehicle seat is flipped downward relative to the plate body to press the built-in plug-in plate to slide downward and insert it into the plug-in hole of the rear foot pedal. A compression spring is provided in the sliding channel. When the vehicle seat is flipped upward and the built-in plug-in plate is no longer pressed down, the spring can push the built-in plug-in plate to return to its initial position and unlock the vertical connection between the upper foot pedal and the rear foot pedal.

6. The electric scooter according to claim 5, characterized in that: An elastic damper is provided under the seat, a limit plate is provided at the upper end of the plate body, the limit plate and the connecting arm are arranged on both sides of the plate body, and the limit plate is used to clamp the elastic damper so that the elastic damper produces a certain damping effect during the flipping of the seat.

7. The electric scooter according to claim 6, characterized in that: The elastic damper comprises a sliding push rod and an elastic member. A base hole is provided below the vehicle seat. The sliding push rod is installed in the base hole. Two ends of the elastic member are respectively in contact with the sliding push rod and the base, so that the sliding push rod has a tendency to slide away from the base hole. The sliding push rod is provided with a cone portion at one end away from the base hole; During the process of flipping the seat to a horizontal state, the lower conical surface of the vertebral body begins to abut against the limit plate, and the limit plate abuts and pushes the sliding push rod to withdraw, so that the elastic member is compressed to generate damping to hinder the flipping of the seat. As the seat continues to flip after overcoming the damping, the limit plate passes over the apex of the vertebral body and abuts against the upper conical surface of the vertebral body. When the seat is flipped to a horizontal state, the elastic member is still compressed to generate damping force to limit the seat to remain in a horizontal state.
