Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the increasing problem of urban traffic congestion and the growing popularity of green travel concepts, electric scooters are gaining popularity worldwide as a convenient, lightweight, and environmentally friendly means of short-distance transportation. Compared to traditional fuel vehicles and electric bicycles, electric scooters are smaller, lighter, foldable, and easy to carry. They are particularly suitable for subway connections, campus commuting, and navigating the last mile of urban travel. As a result, they are widely popular among a wide range of people.

[0003] In the structural design of electric scooters, the battery is the core energy supply component, and its installation location directly affects the vehicle's weight distribution, safety, and overall performance. In existing electric scooter designs, to achieve a good center of gravity balance, ensure vehicle stability and maneuverability, while also maximizing space utilization and making the overall design more compact, the battery is typically placed at the bottom of the vehicle, specifically below the pedals.

[0004] However, during the driving of an electric scooter, especially when passing through bumpy roads, going up and down stairs, or hitting obstacles, the pedals will produce a certain degree of vibration. Since the battery is installed under the pedals, mechanical stress will be directly or indirectly transmitted to the battery module. Long-term repeated vibrations may cause the battery casing to loosen or crack, and even cause the battery to deform and leak, posing a safety hazard. At the same time, the batteries of electric scooters are expensive and highly detachable, making them easy targets for theft.

[0025] The electric scooter provided in this embodiment is used in scenarios such as short-distance commuting in cities, campus transportation, touring tourist attractions, and shared travel services. In this embodiment, by improving the structure of the electric scooter, the impact of bumps during riding on the stability and service life of the battery assembly is reduced. At the same time, the anti-theft performance of the battery assembly is improved to prevent the battery assembly from being taken or stolen without authorization.

[0026] See also Figures 1-6 The electric scooter provided in this embodiment includes a scooter body 10, a pedal assembly 20, a battery assembly 30, a shock absorber assembly 40, a trigger assembly and a locking assembly 60; the pedal assembly 20 is arranged on the scooter body 10, and the pedal assembly 20 includes a pedal cover 210 and a pedal body 220. The pedal body 220 is recessed with a receiving cavity 221, and the pedal cover 210 covers the upper part of the receiving cavity 221; the battery assembly 30 and the shock absorber assembly 40 are both fixed in the receiving cavity 221, wherein the battery assembly 30 is used to provide riding power, and the shock absorber assembly 40 is used to buffer the vibration generated by the pedal cover 210; the locking assembly 60 includes a locking member 610 and a locking seat 620, the locking member 610 is arranged on the shock absorber assembly 40, and the locking seat 620 is arranged on the battery assembly 30, and the trigger assembly is used to trigger the locking and unlocking states of the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620.

[0027] Specifically, the scooter body 10 is the basic load-bearing structure of the entire scooter, and is preferably made of lightweight and high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy, carbon fiber, etc., for supporting the installation of various functional components. Among them, the scooter body 10 also includes components such as a handle, a steering assembly, a front wheel, a rear wheel, and a brake. The above structure is well known to those skilled in the art, so it is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0028] Illustratively, the pedal cover 210 is hingedly mounted on the pedal body 220 and covers the accommodating cavity 221. A fastener is provided between the pedal cover 210 and the pedal body 220. This fastener is a conventional key-operated structure that prevents the accommodating cavity 221 from being opened without authorization, thus establishing a first-level anti-theft protection mechanism for the battery assembly 30 and enhancing overall safety.

[0029] The battery assembly 30 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 221 and is used to provide power output for the scooter. It can adopt a lithium-ion battery module, a lithium iron phosphate battery module or other energy storage battery structure suitable for portable transportation vehicles; the shock-absorbing assembly 40 is used to alleviate the direct impact of the vibration generated by the pedal cover 210 on the battery assembly 30 during riding, thereby protecting the battery assembly 30, improving the stability and service life of the battery assembly 30, and also improving the user's riding comfort experience.

[0030] More specifically, the locking assembly 60 includes a locking piece 610 provided on the shock absorbing assembly 40 and a locking seat 620 provided on the battery assembly 30, and a mechanical matching structure is formed between the two. The trigger assembly is used to control the locking and unlocking states of the locking assembly 60, thereby realizing rapid locking and rapid unlocking of the battery assembly 30, and constructing a second-level anti-theft protection mechanism for the battery assembly 30, preventing the battery assembly 30 from being arbitrarily taken out or stolen in an unauthorized state, thereby further improving the anti-theft performance of the battery assembly 30; at the same time, in the authorized state, the user can quickly complete the disassembly or replacement operation of the battery assembly 30, thereby improving the operational efficiency of maintenance or replacement of the battery assembly 30.

[0031] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the trigger component includes a first induction loop, a second induction loop, and a third induction loop. When the scooter is started, the first induction loop, the second induction loop, and the third induction loop are all in a disconnected state; after the scooter is turned off, the first induction loop is connected; after the first induction loop is connected, the user presses down the pedal cover 210, triggering the second induction loop to be connected, thereby triggering the locking of the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620 and maintaining the locked state; after the user inputs the identity verification signal, the third induction loop is connected, realizing the unlocking of the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620.

[0032] Specifically, when the scooter is in the starting state, the first induction circuit, the second induction circuit and the third induction circuit are all in the disconnected state and the locking mechanism is not triggered; after the scooter is turned off, the first induction circuit is controlled by the electronic control system and automatically enters the starting state, providing the circuit premise for the subsequent locking operation, ensuring that the locking operation is only performed when the scooter is out of use, avoiding accidental touch or lock.

[0033] The second induction loop is triggered when the user presses down the pedal cover 210. Through a physical operation that can be perceived by the user, the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620 are locked, so that the battery assembly 30 is effectively fixed when the scooter is not in operation, forming a second-level anti-theft protection mechanism for the battery assembly 30. Even if an outsider opens the pedal cover 210, the battery assembly 30 cannot be directly removed.

[0034] The third induction loop is automatically connected after the user completes identity verification. The electronic control system responds to the unlock command, separating the locking member 610 from the locking seat 620, thereby enabling the rapid release or replacement of the battery assembly 30. Only authorized users can complete this operation, preventing unauthorized removal and enhancing the anti-theft performance of the battery assembly 30. The identity verification signal can include password input, NFC card recognition, Bluetooth authorization, fingerprint verification, etc. The fingerprint recognition structure can use a capacitive, optical, or ultrasonic sensor module, and cooperate with a microcontroller for identity verification. It has high recognition accuracy and rapid response, and has been widely used in consumer electronics and transportation vehicles. The relevant technology is well known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] See also Figure 1 Furthermore, the pedal cover 210 includes a fixed plate 211 and a buffer plate 212. A through-hole 2110 is defined at the center of the fixed plate 211. The buffer plate 212 is positioned at the through-hole 2110 and elastically connected to the fixed plate 211. The shock-absorbing assembly 40 abuts against the bottom of the buffer plate 212. Specifically, the fixed plate 211 can be constructed of a high-strength aluminum alloy sheet material, which exhibits excellent structural rigidity and pressure resistance, and is used to support the user's weight and protect internal components. The buffer plate 212 is positioned at the through-hole 2110 and is connected to the fixed plate 211 via an elastic connection structure. This elastic connection structure can utilize a coil spring, a rubber washer, a silicone ring, or other conventional structure with elastic recovery capabilities, all of which are well known to those skilled in the art.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing plate is a rigid plate, and a preset gap is provided between the shock-absorbing plate and the battery assembly 30 below. The gap is larger than the maximum vertical stroke of the shock-absorbing plate. Therefore, even if the shock-absorbing plate is deformed or moved under a large impact, it will not contact the battery assembly 30, thereby avoiding mechanical damage or compression deformation to the battery, thereby achieving passive protection of the battery from a structural perspective.

[0037] In order to prevent the battery assembly 30 from slipping in the accommodating cavity 221, this embodiment provides a mounting seat in the accommodating cavity 221. The mounting seat is a structural member that fixes the position of the battery assembly 30. It can be in the form of a groove, a positioning rib or a limiting column. Its setting restricts the battery assembly 30 in both vertical and horizontal directions, effectively preventing the battery from being displaced due to the bumps of the vehicle body during riding.

[0038] The buffer plate 212 is located in the middle area of ​​the fixed plate 211, and its lower surface directly abuts the upper end of the shock-absorbing assembly 40. When the user steps on the pedal cover 210, the elastic connection structure first generates a certain range of elastic deformation, causing the buffer plate 212 to produce a certain range of displacement, and disperse and transmit part of the impact force to the shock-absorbing assembly 40 below, effectively reducing the direct impact of external force on the battery assembly 30. Compared with the traditional rigid pedal structure, the entire vehicle absorbs vibrations and impacts more fully during riding, thereby improving the protection effect of the battery assembly 30, while reducing the vibration to the rider's feet and improving the user's riding comfort.

[0039] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Furthermore, the shock absorbing assembly 40 includes a first elastic member 410, a holder 420, a first contact block 430 and a second contact block 440. One end of the first elastic member 410 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 221, and the other end is fixed to the holder 420. The end of the holder 420 away from the accommodating cavity 221 abuts against the buffer plate 212; the first contact block 430 is arranged on the bottom surface of the holder 420, and the second contact block 440 is fixed in the accommodating cavity 221 and is vertically opposite to the first contact block 430; wherein the first contact block 430 is a magnet and the second contact block 440 is an electromagnet, an external power supply is provided on the first induction circuit, and is electrically connected to the second contact block 440, when the first induction circuit is disconnected, the magnetic poles of the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are the same; when the first induction circuit is connected, the magnetic poles of the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are opposite.

[0040] Specifically, the first elastic member 410 is secured to the bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 221 by welding. The bottom surface of the accommodating cavity 221 can be a metal reinforced base plate. Conventional welding processes, such as resistance welding or laser welding, securely weld the bottom of the first elastic member 410 to the base plate to enhance connection strength and prevent the first elastic member 410 from falling off due to thermal expansion and contraction or external impact. The bottom surface of the holder 420 is also secured to the top surface of the first elastic member 410 by welding, which can be annular seam welding or spot welding. This ensures that when the holder 420 is subjected to an impact load from the buffer plate 212, the vibration can be reliably transmitted to the first elastic member 410, which absorbs and cushions the impact, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect. A compression spring can be optionally used for the first elastic member 410.

[0041] For example, when riding, the first induction loop is in a disconnected state. At this time, the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 have the same magnetic poles. When encountering bumpy roads, going up and down stairs, or hitting obstacles during riding, the buffer plate 212 generates a certain amplitude of vibration and displacement. The buffer plate 212 transmits the vibration to the first elastic member 410 through the holder 420, thereby effectively absorbing the vibration. Since the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 have the same magnetic poles, there is a magnetic repulsion force between the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440, making it difficult for the first contact block 430 to continue to move downward, and thus making it difficult for the holder 420 to move downward. Since the buffer plate 212 is abutted against the top surface of the holder 420, a certain distance is maintained between the buffer plate 212 and the battery assembly 30, thereby weakening the effect of the vibration or deformation of the buffer plate 212 on the battery assembly 30, thereby protecting the battery assembly 30; at the same time, it avoids the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 from accidentally touching each other and causing the locking assembly 60 to lock.

[0042] After the scooter is turned off, the first induction circuit is controlled by the electronic control system and automatically enters the starting state. At this time, the magnetic poles of the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are opposite, and there is magnetic attraction between the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440. When the user presses down the buffer plate 212, the first elastic member 410 is compressed, and the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are in stable contact due to the magnetic attraction. At this time, the second induction circuit is triggered to be connected.

[0043] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 Furthermore, the second induction loop includes a first conductor 521 and a second conductor 522. A first through-slot 431 is recessed in the first contact block 430, and the first conductor 521 is disposed in the first through-slot 431. A second through-slot 441 is recessed in the second contact block 440, and the second conductor 522 is disposed in the second through-slot 441. When the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are in stable contact, the first conductor 521 and the second conductor 522 are electrically connected, and the second induction loop is connected.

[0044] Specifically, the first conductor 521 is disposed within the first through-slot 431 of the first contact block 430, and the second conductor 522 is disposed within the second through-slot 441 of the second contact block 440. When the scooter is turned off, the first induction circuit, controlled by the electronic control system, automatically enters an activated state. At this time, the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 have opposite magnetic poles, resulting in a magnetic attraction between the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440. When the user presses down on the buffer plate 212, the first elastic member 410 is compressed, and the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 maintain stable contact due to the magnetic attraction. At this time, the first conductor 521 within the first through-slot 431 is electrically connected to the second conductor 522 within the second through-slot 441, forming a closed second induction circuit, thereby triggering the locking action of the locking assembly 60. The first conductor 521 and the second conductor 522 can be made of a conductive material with excellent electrical conductivity, such as copper or a copper alloy.

[0045] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Furthermore, a mounting slot 421 is provided on the card holder 420, and the notch of the mounting slot 421 faces the end where the battery assembly 30 is provided. The locking member 610 includes an insertion rod 611, a first fixing block 612 and a second fixing block 613. The first fixing block 612 is fixed on the insertion rod 611, and the second fixing block 613 is fixed in the mounting slot 421. The first fixing block 612 and the second fixing block 613 are both configured as magnets, wherein the second fixing block 613 is an electromagnet and is electrically connected to the second induction circuit. When the second induction circuit is disconnected, the second fixing block 613 has opposite magnetic poles to the first fixing block 612, and the insertion rod 611 is locked in the mounting slot 421; when the second induction circuit is connected, the second fixing block 613 has the same magnetic pole as the first fixing block 612, and the magnetic repulsion force pushes the insertion rod 611 to slide along the first direction and lock with the locking seat 620.

[0046] Specifically, when riding, the first induction circuit is in a disconnected state. At this time, the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 have the same magnetic poles, and the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 cannot be in stable contact. The second induction circuit is in a disconnected state. At this time, the second fixed block 613 and the first fixed block 612 have opposite magnetic poles. There is magnetic attraction between the second fixed block 613 and the first fixed block 612, and the insertion rod 611 is locked in the installation slot 421 to prevent the insertion rod 611 and the locking seat 620 from locking prematurely.

[0047] When the scooter is turned off, the first induction circuit is controlled by the electronic control system and automatically enters the starting state. At this time, the magnetic poles of the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are opposite, and there is a magnetic attraction between the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440. When the user presses down the buffer plate 212, the first elastic member 410 is compressed, and the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are in stable contact due to the magnetic attraction. At this time, the first conductor 521 located in the first through groove 431 is electrically connected to the second conductor 522 located in the second through groove 441, and the second induction circuit forms a closed loop. At this time, the second induction circuit is connected, the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612 have the same magnetic pole, and there is a magnetic repulsion force between the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612. The magnetic repulsion force pushes the insertion rod 611 to slide along the first direction and lock with the locking seat 620, thereby achieving the locking of the battery assembly 30 when the scooter is turned off.

[0048] It is understandable that if the locking assembly 60 is not unlocked by the authentication signal and the scooter is ridden directly, since the first elastic member 410 is in a compressed state and the first contact member and the second contact member are in a stable attracted state, the gap between the buffer plate 212 and the battery assembly 30 is compressed or disappears, and the buffering stroke of the shock absorbing assembly 40 is limited. At this time, the shock absorbing performance of the scooter is poor. When there are bumpy roads, up and down steps, or impact obstacles, the shock absorbing assembly 40 cannot effectively absorb the impact energy. Part or even all of the impact will be directly transmitted to the battery assembly 30, which can easily cause significant damage to the battery assembly 30 and easily cause the battery core 310 to loosen, the charging port 321 to be damaged, or the battery shell 320 to be deformed. In turn, the stability of the battery assembly 30 and the safety of the entire vehicle are affected, further enhancing the implicit restraint effect of anti-theft.

[0049] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6Furthermore, a guide groove 422 is provided in the installation groove 421, and the guide groove 422 is coaxially arranged with the installation groove 421. A slot 6131 is provided on the second fixed block 613, and a second elastic member 423 is provided in the guide groove 422 along the first direction. One end of the second elastic member 423 abuts against the inner wall of the guide groove 422, and the other end passes through the slot 6131 and abuts against the first fixed block 612. Specifically, by disposing a second elastic member 423 within the guide slot 422, when the second induction circuit is disconnected, the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612 have opposite magnetic poles, resulting in a magnetic attraction between the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612, locking the rod 611 within the mounting slot 421. At this time, the second elastic member 423 is in a compressed state. When the second induction circuit is connected, the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612 have the same magnetic poles, resulting in a magnetic repulsion between the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612. This magnetic repulsion forces the rod 611 to slide in the first direction and lock with the locking seat 620. At this time, the second elastic member 423 applies a force in the first direction to the first fixing block 612, causing the rod 611 to fully move in the first direction and stably engage with the locking seat 620, thereby ensuring stable locking of the battery assembly 30 when the scooter is closed. A compression spring can be used as the second elastic member 423.

[0050] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 Furthermore, the battery assembly 30 includes a battery core 310 and a battery shell 320, the battery core 310 is arranged in the battery shell 320, and the battery shell 320 is provided with a charging interface 321 for charging the battery core 310; the locking seat 620 is arranged on the battery shell 320, and the locking seat 620 is provided with a clamping member 621 and an unlocking member 622, the insertion rod 611 is engaged with the clamping member 621 along the first direction, and the insertion rod 611 cannot be withdrawn from the second direction after being engaged; the unlocking member 622 is electrically connected to the third induction circuit, and when the third induction circuit is connected, the unlocking member 622 drives the clamping member 621 to move along the first direction, at this time, the locking member 610 and the clamping member 621 are unlocked, and the insertion rod 611 is withdrawn along the second direction.

[0051] Specifically, the battery assembly 30 includes a battery core 310 and a battery housing 320. The battery core 310 is used to store and release electrical energy and is typically a combination of a lithium battery module, ternary lithium, or lithium iron phosphate monomers, providing stable riding power for the scooter. The battery core 310 is disposed within the battery housing 320, which is made of impact-resistant, flame-retardant engineering plastic or metal. The housing 320 is used to encase and protect the battery core 310 from external forces while enhancing the overall structural strength of the battery assembly 30. The battery housing 320 is provided with a charging port 321 for charging the battery core 310. This port can be a universal DC port or a dedicated fast-charging port.

[0052] For example, after the insertion rod 611 engages with the engaging member 621 along the first direction, it cannot be withdrawn from the second direction, thereby locking the battery assembly 30 and the shock absorber assembly 40; magnets are provided on the unlocking member 622 and the engaging member 621, and the magnets can be made of high-performance materials such as neodymium iron boron and ferrite; after the user completes the identity verification, the third induction loop is connected, and a magnetic attraction is generated between the unlocking member 622 and the engaging member 621, causing the engaging member 621 to move along the first direction. At this time, the engaging state of the insertion rod 611 and the engaging member 621 is released, thereby realizing the rapid unlocking of the battery assembly 30, so that the disassembly of the battery assembly 30 must be subject to identity verification and authorization operations, thereby improving the anti-theft performance of the battery assembly 30.

[0053] After the third induction loop is connected, the electronic control system controls the external power supply to be in the off state. At this time, the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 have the same magnetic poles. Under the action of the magnetic repulsion force, the first contact block 430 and the second contact block 440 are separated, and the first elastic member 410 rebounds; after the first elastic member 410 rebounds, the first conductor 521 and the second conductor 522 are separated, and the second induction loop is in the off state; after the second induction loop is disconnected, the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612 have opposite magnetic poles, and there is magnetic attraction between the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612. The second elastic member 423 is compressed, and the insertion rod 611 is locked in the installation slot 421 again; when riding, the external power supply remains in the off state until the scooter is turned off and the external power supply is restarted.

[0054] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 Furthermore, the engaging member 621 includes a sliding seat 6211, a ball 6212 and an abutment plate 6213. The sliding seat 6211 is opened along the first direction and is slidably installed in the locking seat 620. The sliding seat 6211 and the locking seat 620 are provided with oppositely distributed through holes 6214. The ball 6212 is provided in the sliding seat 6211, and the diameter of the ball 6212 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 6214. The abutment plate 6213 is elastically provided on the locking seat 620 and is used to abut the ball 6212 against one end of the sliding seat 6211 provided with the through hole 6214. The insertion rod 611 passes through the through hole 6214 along the first direction and is inserted into the sliding seat 6211. The insertion rod 611 is provided with a card groove 6111 along the circumferential direction, and the ball 6212 is carded in the card groove 6111.

[0055] Specifically, the sliding seat 6211 is set as a magnet. Under the action of the magnetic repulsion force between the second fixing block 613 and the first fixing block 612, the insertion rod 611 passes through the through hole 6214 along the first direction and is inserted into the sliding seat 6211. The insertion rod 611 is provided with a card groove 6111 along the circumferential direction, and the ball 6212 is clamped in the card groove 6111. Since the abutment plate 6213 abuts the ball 6212 against the end of the sliding seat 6211 provided with the through hole 6214, the ball 6212 is stably clamped in the card groove 6111, so that the insertion rod 611 cannot be withdrawn from the sliding seat 6211 along the second direction, thereby realizing the locking of the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620; when the third induction circuit is connected, the unlocking member 622 and the sliding seat 6211 are locked. 62. The second spring 423 is compressed and the rod 611 is locked in the mounting groove 421 again, thereby realizing a quick response of the locking action and the unlocking action between the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620.

[0056] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6Furthermore, the engaging member 621 further includes a third elastic member 6215, one end of which is fixed to the engaging seat 420, and the other end is fixed to the abutting plate 6213, for applying a force in the second direction to the abutting plate 6213. Specifically, under the action of the third elastic member 6215, the abutting plate 6213 applies a force in the second direction to the ball 6212, so that the ball 6212 abuts against one end of the sliding seat 6211 provided with a through hole 6214. When the insert rod 611 passes through the through hole 6214 along the first direction and is inserted into the sliding seat 6211, the ball 6212 is stably engaged in the slot 6111, thereby ensuring the locking stability between the locking member 610 and the locking seat 620. When the third induction circuit is connected, a magnetic attraction is generated between the unlocking member 622 and the sliding seat 6211, so that the sliding When the seat 6211 moves in the first direction, the sliding seat 6211 drives the ball 6212 to move in the first direction. At this time, the ball 6212 is released from the locking groove 6111, and the third elastic member 6215 is compressed. When the insertion rod 611 exits the sliding seat 6211 in the second direction, the abutment plate 6213, under the action of the third elastic member 6215, again applies a force in the second direction to the ball 6212, causing the ball 6212 to abut against the end of the sliding seat 6211 provided with the through hole 6214, facilitating the next engagement and locking of the ball 6212 with the insertion rod 611. The third elastic member 6215 can be a compression spring.
