Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of transportation technology, and more particularly to a scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Scooters are a convenient, environmentally friendly, and economical mode of transportation that can solve the problem of inconvenient travel for people and are widely loved.

[0003] Existing electric scooters typically have shock absorbers installed on the front and rear wheels to improve riding comfort. Scooters usually require separate shock absorber mounting points, foot pedals, and hooks at the rear of the frame to achieve different functions.

[0004] However, this split design results in redundant structural layers and a large number of parts, which is not conducive to the development of lightweight and compact vehicle bodies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a scooter with a simple structure, which can solve the problem in related technologies where the complex structure of the rear of the scooter frame is not conducive to the development of lightweight and compact scooter body.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application provide the following technical solutions:

[0007] This application provides a scooter, including:

[0008] The pedal assembly includes a front end and a rear end, the rear end of which is used to connect to the rear wheel of the scooter;

[0009] The connecting assembly includes a connecting seat, a shock absorber, and a rear bracket. The connecting seat includes a mounting position for mounting the shock absorber, and the shock absorber is fixedly connected to the connecting seat through the mounting position.

[0010] In the height direction of the scooter, the rear bracket is located on top of the connector and is fixedly connected to the connector. The side of the rear bracket facing the front of the pedal assembly is configured as the footrest.

[0011] The connecting seat is fixedly connected to the rear end of the pedal assembly, and the rear bracket is fixedly connected to the pedal assembly.

[0012] The scooter in this embodiment integrates the connecting seat, shock absorber, and rear support into a single unit, tightly connected to the pedal assembly, thus reducing the number of individual components. This integrated design makes the overall structure of the scooter more compact and reduces its space occupation. The rear support is located on top of the connecting seat, and part of its structure is fixedly connected to the pedal assembly; this layout increases the rigidity and strength of the overall structure. It helps to distribute the stress experienced by the scooter during use, improving its durability.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the connector includes a support plate; wherein,

[0014] The rear bracket is provided with a first mounting part, and the support plate is provided with a second mounting part corresponding to the first mounting part;

[0015] A first connector is provided between the first mounting part and the second mounting part, and the first connector is used to fix the first mounting part and the second mounting part together.

[0016] By setting a support plate on the connector and a first mounting part on the rear bracket, and a corresponding second mounting part on the support plate, a first connector is used to fix the two together. This design provides a robust connection point, ensuring the stability and durability of the structure. The support plate also provides support for the rear bracket, increasing its load-bearing capacity. The use of the first connector simplifies the installation process of the folding hook, making installation more intuitive and quick. At the same time, this design also facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair, allowing users to easily disassemble and replace components.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the side of the first mounting portion facing the support plate includes a support portion. When the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are fixedly connected, the support portion abuts against the support plate.

[0018] This design allows the support portion to directly abut against the support plate, creating an additional stress-bearing contact surface. This distributes the load at the connection point and reduces stress concentration at the connection between the first and second mounting portions. It also prevents loosening of the connection due to long-term vibration or impact, improving the overall structural rigidity and durability.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the footrest has a groove structure, and a folding hook is provided in the groove structure; the folding hook is used to lock the scooter in the folded state when the scooter is folded; the top surface of the folding hook does not exceed the plane of the footrest.

[0020] By embedding the folding hook into the recessed structure, the scooter can be easily locked when folded, simplifying the folding and unfolding process and allowing users to operate it more quickly, thus improving the user experience. By ensuring that the top surface of the folding hook does not extend beyond the plane of the footrest, users will not feel any foreign object under their feet while riding, reducing the risk of tripping while walking or standing on the scooter and improving riding comfort.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the first mounting part is disposed at the bottom of the groove structure; the folding hook is disposed at the first mounting part and is fixedly connected to the first connector.

[0022] By placing the folding hook on the first mounting part and fixing it to the first connector, this design effectively utilizes the internal space of the scooter, making the overall structure more compact and reducing exposed parts.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the connector includes a bent body; a support plate is formed by folding and extending the top edge of the bent body.

[0024] This design allows the support plate and the bending body to be integrally formed by sheet metal folding, eliminating the weaknesses of welding or bolted connections. It can eliminate the stress concentration problem of traditional splicing structures, and has stronger bending and torsional resistance, making it especially suitable for withstanding dynamic loads (such as repeated impacts when riding a scooter).

[0025] In one possible implementation, an arc-shaped transition zone is formed between the support plate and the bent body. This arc-shaped transition zone replaces the right-angle bend, avoiding stress concentration at sharp corners of the sheet metal, reducing the probability of fatigue fracture, and extending the structural lifespan.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the bending body has a U-shaped structure with the opening of the U-shaped structure facing the rear wheel; wherein, the bending body includes a base plate, a first side plate and a second side plate; the first side plate and the second side plate are disposed opposite each other at both ends of the base plate along the axial direction of the rear wheel, and the base plate is used to fixally connect to the rear end of the pedal assembly; the support plate is formed by folding and extending the top edge of the base plate, and the support plate extends toward the rear wheel.

[0027] By designing the bending body of the connecting seat as a U-shaped structure, this structure can effectively distribute and withstand various stresses from the use of the scooter, improving overall strength and durability. The opening of the U-shaped structure faces the rear wheel, allowing at least part of the shock absorber structure to be located inside the U-shaped structure, resulting in a compact connecting assembly and thus improving the scooter's overall compactness. By abutting the top surfaces of the top plate, bottom plate, first side plate, and second side plate, the connecting seat provides support for the top plate, especially in the transition area between the bottom plate and the first and second side plates, providing triangular support and enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the pedal assembly.

[0028] In one possible implementation, the support plate gradually slopes upward in the direction from the front end to the rear end; the top of the first side plate and / or the second side plate includes an upwardly protruding inclined section for fixed connection with the support plate; the plane of the top of the inclined section is parallel to the support plate.

[0029] By tilting the support plate, it can be positioned closer to the connection point with the rear support, reducing the distance between them and facilitating connection. Additionally, the tilted support plate provides vertical support to the rear support, improving its stability. The tilted section also provides a relatively horizontal mounting surface for the support plate, simplifying the connection structure and reducing assembly difficulty. The support plate, tilted section, and rear support together form a multi-directional truss structure, providing support in multiple directions and enhancing overall stability. Furthermore, pressure from the rear support is transmitted to the support plate, then through the tilted section parallel to the support plate to the first or second side plate, and finally to the base plate. This direct and efficient force flow path ensures even stress distribution, preventing localized stress concentration and improving the scooter's durability and reliability.

[0030] In one possible implementation, the top of both the first and second side plates includes a horizontal section; the horizontal section is on the same plane as the top surface of the base plate; and in the direction from the front end to the rear end, the inclined section is located at the end of the horizontal section away from the base plate.

[0031] By incorporating a horizontal section, support can be provided for parts of the rear support structure and the pedal assembly, improving their load-bearing capacity and stability. This connecting seat structure is simple and provides support for the rear support and pedal assembly, enhancing the scooter's structural compactness.

[0032] In one possible implementation, the central axis of the shock absorber is parallel to the central axis of the rear wheel; a rear fork assembly extending towards the rear wheel is provided on the outer wall of the shock absorber, the rear fork assembly can rotate around the central axis of the shock absorber, and the rear fork assembly is used to connect with the rear wheel; the shock absorber is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate; a limiting part is provided on the outer side of the shock absorber, part of the limiting part is disposed opposite to the bottom plate, and the limiting part is used to limit the rotation angle of the outer wall of the shock absorber.

[0033] By aligning the shock absorber parallel to the rear wheel's central axis, and allowing the rear fork assembly to rotate around this axis, this design enables the rear wheel to move freely within a certain range, thereby improving the scooter's handling and stability. Compared to longitudinal shock absorbers, this design reduces the space occupied by the shock absorber in the scooter's height direction, helping to lower the scooter's center of gravity and enhance stability. Fixing the shock absorber between the first and second side panels forms a stable triangular or rectangular support structure, improving the overall frame's rigidity and stability. This allows for more effective resistance to forces from different directions and provides a clear mounting location for the shock absorber, simplifying the installation process.

[0034] In one possible implementation, a support plate and a limiting part are arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the rear wheel; wherein, along the axial direction of the rear wheel, one side of the support plate is fixedly connected to one of the first side plate and the second side plate, and a clearance space is formed between the other side of the support plate and the other of the first side plate and the second side plate; the limiting part can move within the clearance space, and the clearance space is used to avoid the limiting part.

[0035] This design allows the support plate and limiting part to be distributed laterally along the rear wheel axial direction, preventing interference between the shock absorber and the limiting part during riding. It also makes full use of the space in the connecting seat along the rear wheel axial direction, resulting in a more compact structure.

[0036] In one possible implementation, the support plate includes a first extension; wherein, in the axial direction of the rear wheel, the first extension is located on the side of the support plate away from the limiting portion, and the first extension is fixedly connected to the inclined section.

[0037] By providing the first extension, an operating space can be provided between the support plate and the first or second side plate, facilitating the fixed connection (e.g., welding) of the support plate and the inclined section. In addition, it can save materials and reduce costs.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the support plate includes a second extension; wherein, in the axial direction of the rear wheel, the second extension is located on the side of the support plate near the limiting portion; a second mounting portion is formed in the second extension; the second mounting portion is equidistant from the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0039] This configuration allows the second mounting part to be located at the central axis of the frame, so that the vertical force of the rear bracket and pedal assembly can be evenly distributed to the first and second side plates of the connecting seat. This avoids the torsional torque caused by the eccentricity of the mounting point, prevents the scooter from tipping over, and improves the stability of the scooter.

[0040] In one possible implementation, the pedal assembly includes a top plate and a rear end plate, the top plate being located on top of the rear end plate and abutting against the rear end plate, and the end of the top plate near the rear wheel extending to the outside of the rear end plate; a bottom plate is attached to the rear end plate, and the top plate abuts against the top surface of the bottom plate, the top surface of a portion of the first side plate, and the top surface of a portion of the second side plate.

[0041] This design allows the connecting seat to provide some support for the pedal assembly, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the pedal assembly.

[0042] In one possible implementation, a portion of the rear support structure is located at the top of the top plate and abuts against the top plate; the rear support includes a connecting portion; in the height direction of the scooter, there is an assembly gap between the plane of the rear support abutting against the top plate and the top surface of the connecting portion, the assembly gap being for the top plate to pass through; the rear end of the pedal assembly is provided with an assembly portion that mates with the connecting portion; the connecting portion passes through the assembly portion and abuts against the top plate from the bottom of the top plate, and the connecting portion is fixedly connected to the top plate of the pedal assembly.

[0043] The rear bracket's connecting part passes through the rear end plate and abuts against the bottom of the top plate, with the connecting part securely connected to the top plate. This design provides a robust connection point, ensuring stability between the rear bracket and the pedal assembly and reducing potential loosening or displacement during use. The assembly gap design allows the top plate to pass through the rear bracket, making the assembly process more intuitive and simple. During assembly, simply insert the top plate into the assembly gap and secure the connecting part, reducing assembly steps and time. Because the connecting part abuts against the top plate from the bottom, this design provides additional support and stability, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the rear bracket.

[0044] In one possible implementation, a connecting rib is provided on the side of the rear support facing the connecting seat in the height direction of the scooter; wherein the connecting rib abuts against a portion of the top plate extending to the outer side of the rear end plate.

[0045] By incorporating connecting ribs on the rear support, it provides support and reinforcement. This helps distribute and absorb vertical loads and impacts from riding, improving the overall structural strength and durability. The connecting ribs abut against the top plate, increasing the contact area between the rear support and the pedal assembly. This design improves connection stability and reduces potential wobbling or displacement during use. The presence of connecting ribs helps distribute stress, preventing stress concentration at a single connection point. This optimized stress distribution reduces material fatigue and fracture issues, extending the scooter's lifespan.

[0046] In one possible implementation, the rear bracket is a plastic structure; the connecting seat is a sheet metal structure.

[0047] This design, because plastic is generally lighter than metal, effectively reduces the overall weight of the scooter by making the rear bracket a plastic structure. This contributes to improved portability and maneuverability, making it easier to carry and use. Plastic materials are typically cheaper and easier to process than metal, which reduces production costs. Plastic also has good corrosion resistance and is not easily affected by moisture, salt, and chemicals. The connector uses a sheet metal structure, providing the necessary strength and rigidity to withstand various stresses and loads during scooter use. The metal structure ensures the stability and durability of key connection points.

[0048] In one possible implementation, the support plate gradually tilts upwards in the direction from the front end to the rear end; the top surface of the folding hook is an inclined surface, which is parallel to the support plate.

[0049] In one possible implementation, the footrest gradually slopes downwards in the direction from the rear end to the front end; at least part of the groove bottom and at least part of the footrest surface of the groove structure are provided with anti-slip texture.

[0050] The scooter features a footrest on the side of the rear support facing the front of the pedal assembly, with the footrest gradually sloping downwards from the rear to the front. This ergonomic design provides more comfortable foot support and reduces fatigue during long rides. The anti-slip texture increases the coefficient of friction on the footrest, preventing slippage during use. This is especially important in wet or dusty environments, contributing to improved riding safety. The anti-slip texture provides better grip, making the rider more stable when standing on the scooter. It also provides cushioning, reducing foot fatigue during prolonged standing and thus enhancing overall riding comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0078] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0079] Existing electric scooters typically have shock absorbers installed on the front and rear wheels to improve riding comfort. Scooters usually require separate shock absorber mounting points, foot pedals, and hooks at the rear of the frame to achieve different functions.

[0080] However, this split design leads to redundant structural layers, which not only increases material costs and overall weight, but also restricts the development of lightweight and compact vehicle bodies due to the space occupied by multiple components, violating the efficient design principles of modern transportation tools.

[0081] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a scooter that connects the pedal assembly to the rear wheel using a connecting component, which simplifies the rear structure of the scooter and promotes lightweight and compact design.

[0082] The scooter provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0083] It should be noted that, for ease of description, in the embodiments of this application, the height direction of the scooter is taken as the z-direction, the axial direction of the front and rear wheels is taken as the y-direction, and the direction from the rear end to the front end of the scooter's pedal assembly is taken as the forward direction, which is represented as the x-direction in the figure.

[0084] This application provides a scooter 100, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the scooter 100 may include a front wheel 10, a rear wheel 20, a pedal assembly 30, and a connecting assembly 40. The pedal assembly 30 may include a front end 30a and a rear end 30b, the rear end 30b of which is used to connect to the rear wheel 20 of the scooter 100.

[0085] It should be noted that the front end 30a of the pedal assembly 30 typically points in the forward direction of the scooter 100, that is, the direction the rider is facing. The rear end 30b of the pedal assembly 30 refers to the part opposite to the front end 30a, and is usually located behind the rider.

[0086] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting assembly 40 may include a connecting seat 43, a shock absorber 44, and a rear support 41. Both the shock absorber 44 and the rear support 41 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 43, and the connecting seat 43 is fixedly connected to the rear end 30b of the pedal assembly 30. The central axis of the shock absorber 44 is parallel to the central axis of the rear wheel 20. A rear fork assembly 441 extending towards the rear wheel 20 is provided on the shock absorber 44. The rear fork assembly 441 can rotate around the central axis of the shock absorber 44 and is used to connect to the rear wheel 20.

[0087] In some embodiments, the rear fork assembly 441 may include two rear forks, which are spaced apart from each other along the y-direction at both ends of the rear wheel 20. The rear fork assembly 441 may be fixedly connected to the outer wall 442 of the shock absorber 44 by welding, integral molding, or other methods. The end of the rear fork assembly 441 facing away from the shock absorber 44 is provided with a mounting structure for connection with the rear wheel 20. The shock absorber 44 may include an outer wall 442 and a shock absorber assembly (not shown in the figure) located inside the outer wall 442. The outer wall 442 may rotate relative to the shock absorption system and return to its original position after rotating a certain angle. The shock absorber assembly may be a rubber shock absorber, a hydraulic system, or a pneumatic cylinder. In this embodiment, the structure of the shock absorber assembly inside the shock absorber 44 is not further limited, as long as the outer wall 442 of the shock absorber 44 can automatically return to its original position after rotating a certain angle, thus providing a certain shock absorption effect for the scooter 100.

[0088] In the height direction (z direction) of the scooter 100, the rear support 41 is located on top of the connecting seat 43, and the rear support 41 is fixedly connected to the pedal assembly 30. The side of the rear support 41 facing the front end 30a of the pedal assembly 30 is provided with a footrest 414, which gradually slopes downward in the direction from the rear end 30b to the front end 30a of the pedal assembly 30.

[0089] It should be noted that in the embodiments of this application, "orientation" refers to orientation in a broad sense and is not limited to a front-facing arrangement, and "away from" refers to away from in a broad sense and is not limited to a back-to-back parallel arrangement.

[0090] The scooter 100 in this embodiment integrates the connecting seat 43, shock absorber 44, and rear support 41, and tightly connects them to the pedal assembly 30, reducing the number of independent parts. This integrated design makes the overall structure of the scooter 100 more compact and reduces its space occupation. By aligning the shock absorber 44 parallel to the central axis of the rear wheel 20, and allowing the rear fork assembly 441 to rotate around the central axis of the shock absorber 44, this design allows the rear wheel 20 to move freely within a certain range, thereby improving the handling and stability of the scooter 100. Compared to setting the shock absorber 44 longitudinally, this reduces the space occupied by the shock absorber 44 in the height direction of the scooter 100, which helps to lower the center of gravity of the scooter 100 and improve its stability. The rear support 41 is located on top of the connecting seat 43, and part of its structure is fixedly connected to the pedal assembly 30. This layout increases the rigidity and strength of the overall structure. It helps to distribute the stress experienced by the scooter 100 during use and improves its durability. The rear support 41 has a footrest 414 on the side facing the front end 30a of the pedal assembly 30, and the footrest 414 gradually slopes downward from the rear end 30b to the front end 30a. This design is ergonomic, provides more comfortable foot support, and reduces fatigue during long rides.

[0091] See also Figure 3 As shown, the connecting seat 43 may include a bending body 431, which has a U-shaped structure with the opening of the U-shaped structure facing the rear wheel 20. The bending body 431 may include a base plate 4311, a first side plate 4312, and a second side plate 4313, which are arranged opposite each other at both ends of the base plate 4311 along the axial direction of the shock absorber 44.

[0092] By setting the bending body 431 of the connecting seat 43 into a U-shaped structure, this structure can effectively disperse and bear various stresses from the use of the scooter 100, improving the overall strength and durability. The opening of the U-shaped structure faces the rear wheel 20, allowing at least a portion of the shock absorber 44 to be located inside the U-shaped structure, making the connecting assembly 40 more compact, thereby improving the compactness of the scooter 100.

[0093] In some embodiments, the bending body 431 can be a sheet metal bending body 431, that is, the bending body 431 can be obtained by bending a sheet metal structure, thus forming a bending angle between the base plate 4311 and the first side plate 4312, and also forming a bending angle between the base plate 4311 and the second side plate 4313. Part of the structure of the pedal assembly 30 and part of the structure of the rear bracket 41 can be mounted on top of the bending body 431.

[0094] The bending angle formed by bending sheet metal in this way can significantly enhance the strength and rigidity of the structure. The bending angle can also provide additional support and stability, making the entire structure more resistant to external loads and impacts, and reducing the deformation or swaying that may occur in the pedal assembly 30 and the rear bracket 41 during use.

[0095] For example, see Figure 2 As shown, the shock absorber 44 can be disposed between the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313, and the two axial ends of the shock absorber 44 can be fixedly connected to the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313.

[0096] In one possible implementation, a limiting part 444 is provided on the outer side of the shock absorber 44. Part of the structure of the limiting part 444 is disposed opposite to the base plate 4311. The limiting part 444 is used to limit the rotation angle of the outer wall of the shock absorber 44.

[0097] By fixing the shock absorber 44 between the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313, a stable triangular or rectangular support structure is formed. This design improves the rigidity and stability of the overall frame, enabling it to more effectively withstand forces from different directions. The shock absorber 44 is firmly fixed between the two side plates, allowing for more effective transmission and absorption of vibrations and impacts from the ground. This design ensures that the shock absorber 44 functions fully, improving riding comfort. The fixed connection reduces shaking and wear of the shock absorber 44 during use, extending its service life. Simultaneously, it reduces the problem of loose connections due to vibration, improving the overall structural durability. Fixing the shock absorber 44 between the side plates provides a clear installation location, simplifying the installation process. The limiting part 444 prevents excessive rotation of the outer wall of the shock absorber 44, ensuring the safety of the scooter.

[0098] It should be noted that when the scooter 100 passes over uneven road sections, the rear wheel 20 will be impacted, causing the rear fork assembly 441 to drive the outer wall of the shock absorber 44 to rotate around the central axis of the shock absorber 44. The limiting part is used to limit the rotation angle of the outer wall of the shock absorber 44. For example, after rotating by a preset angle, it will abut against the base plate 4311 of the connecting seat 43 and cannot continue to rotate, so as to prevent the rear fork assembly 441 from moving excessively.

[0099] For example, the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 are provided with connecting holes 4314. The connecting holes 4314 can be polygonal, such as triangular, quadrilateral, pentagonal, or hexagonal. Correspondingly, the shock absorber 44 includes a connecting shaft 443 equipped with the connecting hole 4314. The shape of the connecting shaft 443 matches the shape of the connecting hole 4314, which ensures that when the connecting shaft 443 is fitted into the connecting hole 4314, it can prevent the connecting shaft 443 from rotating relative to the connecting hole 4314, thereby improving the connection stability of the shock absorber 44.

[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, the pedal assembly 30 may include a top plate 31 and a rear end plate 32. The top plate 31 is located on top of the rear end plate 32 and abuts against it. That is, the top plate 31 is mounted on top of the rear end plate 32. The top plate 31 can serve as a support position for the user when riding.

[0101] For example, the pedal assembly 30 may further include two third side plates 33, which are disposed opposite each other at both ends in the top y direction. The top plate 31 and the third side plates 33 may be an integral structure, and the rear end plate 32 is disposed within the space enclosed by the top plate 31 and the third side plates 33. A portion of the structure of the top plate 31 and the third side plates 33 extends towards the outer side of the rear end plate 32 in a direction close to the rear wheel 20, so that the rear end plate 32 can provide some support to the top plate 31.

[0102] like Figure 5 As shown, the rear end plate 32 can be a U-shaped structure, wherein the opening of the U-shaped structure faces the front end 30a of the pedal assembly 30, and the two side walls of the U-shaped structure are arranged opposite each other along the z direction. This can increase the contact area between the top plate 31 and the rear end plate 32 and improve the load-bearing capacity of the top plate 31.

[0103] For example, the top plate 31 extends to the outer side of the rear end plate 32 near the rear wheel 20, the bottom plate 4311 of the connecting seat 43 is attached to the rear end plate 32, and the top plate 31 abuts against the top surface of the bottom plate 4311, the top surface of part of the first side plate 4312 and the top surface of part of the second side plate 4313.

[0104] By abutting the top surfaces of the top plate 31 with the bottom plate 4311, the first side plate 4312, and the second side plate 4313, the connecting seat 43 can provide certain support for the top plate 31. In particular, in the transition area between the bottom plate 4311 and the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313, triangular support can be provided for the top plate 31, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the pedal assembly 30.

[0105] like Figure 5As shown, a portion of the structure of the rear support 41 is located on top of the top plate 31 and abuts against the top plate 31. The rear support 41 may include a connecting portion 411. In the height direction (z direction) of the scooter 100, there is an assembly gap 412 between the plane of the rear support 41 abutting against the top plate 31 and the top surface of the connecting portion 411, the assembly gap 412 being for the top plate 31 to pass through (see...). Figure 6 (As shown).

[0106] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the rear end 30b of the pedal assembly 30 is provided with a mounting portion 34 that mates with the connecting portion 411. The connecting portion 411 passes through the mounting portion 34 and abuts against the top plate 31 from the bottom, and the connecting portion 411 is fixedly connected to the top plate 31 of the pedal assembly 30. Since the connecting portion 411 abuts against the top plate 31 from the bottom, this design provides additional support and stability, which can improve the load-bearing capacity of the rear support 41.

[0107] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, there can be two connecting parts 411, which are spaced apart from each other at both ends of the rear bracket 41 along the y-direction. Correspondingly, there are also two mounting parts 34, whose positions correspond to the positions of the connecting parts 411. The mounting parts 34 can be openings formed on the rear end plate 32 of the pedal assembly 30 (see...). Figure 4 (As shown). Furthermore, the top plate 31 and the third side plate 33 located outside the opening structure are provided with notches 35. These notches 35 allow the connecting part 411 to be inserted into the opening structure and then face a part of the top plate 31 so as to fix the connecting part 411 to the top plate 31.

[0108] By providing notches 35 on the top plate 31 and the third side plate 33 outside the opening structure, the size of the connecting part 411 in the x direction can be reduced, making the rear support 41 and the pedal assembly 30 more compact, which is beneficial to the compactness of the scooter 100.

[0109] During assembly, the top plate 31 can be inserted into the assembly gap 412, the connecting part 411 can be inserted into the assembly part 34, and then the connecting part 411 and the top plate 31 can be fixedly connected by fasteners or bolts. This can reduce assembly steps and time.

[0110] For example, the connecting part 411 is provided with a first mounting hole 4111, and the top plate 31 is provided with a second mounting hole 311. The connecting part 411 and the top plate 31 can be fixedly connected by fasteners such as screws and bolts.

[0111] The connecting part 411 of the rear bracket 41 passes through the rear end plate 32 and abuts against the bottom of the top plate 31, and the connecting part 411 is fixedly connected to the top plate 31. This design provides a solid connection point, ensuring the stability between the rear bracket 41 and the pedal assembly 30 and reducing the possibility of loosening or displacement during use. The design of the assembly gap 412 allows the top plate 31 to pass through the rear bracket 41, making the assembly process more intuitive and simple.

[0112] See Figure 7 As shown, in the height direction (z direction) of the scooter 100, the side of the rear support 41 facing the connecting seat 43 is provided with a connecting rib 413. The connecting rib 413 abuts against the portion of the top plate 31 extending to the outer side of the rear end plate 32.

[0113] For example, the connecting rib 413 can be a triangular structure, wherein one side of the triangle abuts against the top plate 31. The connecting rib 413 can increase the structural strength of the rear support 41 and can also abut against the top plate 31, providing a certain support to the rear support 41 through the top plate 31.

[0114] In some embodiments, there may be multiple connecting ribs 413, and the multiple connecting ribs 413 may be spaced apart along the y-direction. At least some of the multiple connecting ribs 413 may abut against the top plate 31.

[0115] It is understood that the shapes of the multiple connecting ribs 413 may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the shape of the connecting ribs 413 is not further limited.

[0116] By incorporating connectors on the rear support 41, support and reinforcement are provided. This helps to distribute and withstand vertical loads and impacts from riding, improving the overall structural strength and durability. The connecting rib 413, which abuts against the top plate 31, increases the contact area between the rear support 41 and the pedal assembly 30. This design improves connection stability and reduces potential wobbling or displacement during use. The presence of the connecting rib 413 helps to distribute stress, preventing stress concentration at a single connection point. This optimized stress distribution reduces material fatigue and fracture problems, extending the service life of the scooter 100.

[0117] See also Figure 6 As shown, the footrest 414 has a groove structure 4141, and a folding hook 415 is provided inside the groove structure 4141. The folding hook 415 is used to lock the scooter 100 in the folded state when it is folded. The top surface of the folding hook 415 is an inclined surface, and the inclined surface can be parallel to the footrest 414.

[0118] For example, the scooter 100 may include a handlebar 50, which may be connected to the front end 30a of the pedal assembly 30. The handlebar 50 may be rotatable relative to the pedal assembly 30, thereby allowing the scooter 100 to be folded. A latch 51 may be provided on the handlebar 50 (see [link to relevant documentation]). Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, when the handlebars 50 are folded, the buckle 51 can be locked to the folding hook 415, thus locking the scooter 100 in the folded state, reducing space occupation and making it easy to carry.

[0119] It should be noted that the structure of the handlebar 50 can be the same as that in related technologies. In this embodiment, the structure of the handlebar 50 and the buckle 51 is not further limited.

[0120] It should be noted that "parallel" here refers to parallelism within a certain error range. For example, the angle between two surfaces is considered to be parallel if it is between 0 and 5°.

[0121] By embedding the folding hook 415 into the recessed structure 4141, the scooter 100 can be easily locked when folded, simplifying the folding and unfolding process and allowing users to operate more quickly, thus improving the user experience. The recessed structure 4141 allows the folding hook 415 to be hidden within the footrest 414 when not in use, maintaining the overall flatness and aesthetics of the scooter 100. This design avoids exposed hooks, reduces space occupation, and makes the scooter 100 more compact in the folded state, facilitating storage and carrying. The top surface of the folding hook 415 is sloping and parallel to the footrest 414, reducing interference with the feet during riding and improving riding comfort.

[0122] Of course, in some other embodiments, the inclined surface of the top surface of the folding hook 415 may not be parallel to the footrest surface 414. Furthermore, the top surface of the folding hook 415 may not extend beyond the plane of the footrest surface 414. This also prevents the top surface of the folding hook 415 from interfering with the user's feet.

[0123] Of course, when the inclined surface of the top surface of the folding hook 415 is parallel to the foot pedal surface 414, the top surface of the folding hook 415 can also be set not beyond the plane of the foot pedal surface 414.

[0124] By ensuring that the top surface of the folding hook 415 does not exceed the plane of the footrest 414, the overall flatness of the footrest 414 is maintained, avoiding the inconvenience caused by the protruding folding hook 415. Users will not feel any foreign object under their feet while riding, thus improving riding comfort. When the top surface of the folding hook 415 does not exceed the footrest 414, the problem of users tripping while walking or standing on the scooter 100 is reduced, especially when quickly getting on and off the scooter 100. When the top surface of the folding hook 415 is flush with the footrest 414, the external impact and wear on the folding hook 415 are reduced, thereby extending its service life. When the folding hook 415 does not protrude, the possibility of accidental contact or operation of the folding hook 415 is reduced, thus preventing the scooter 100 from accidentally folding or unfolding when not needed.

[0125] See also Figure 6 As shown, at least a portion of the groove bottom of the groove structure 4141 and at least a portion of the foot tread surface 414 are provided with anti-slip texture 4142.

[0126] It should be noted that the anti-slip texture 4142 can be multiple grooves or raised structures. In this embodiment, the shape of the anti-slip texture 4142 is not further limited.

[0127] By incorporating anti-slip treads 4142, the coefficient of friction of the footrest 414 is increased, preventing the foot from slipping during use of the scooter 100. This is especially important in wet or dusty environments, contributing to improved riding safety. The anti-slip treads 4142 provide better grip, making the rider more stable when standing on the scooter 100. The anti-slip treads 4142 also offer some cushioning, reducing foot fatigue during prolonged standing and thus improving overall riding comfort.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting seat 43 may further include a support plate 432. The rear bracket 41 has a first mounting portion 4143, and the support plate 432 has a second mounting portion 4321 corresponding to the first mounting portion 4143. A first connecting member 42 is provided between the first mounting portion 4143 and the second mounting portion 4321, and the first connecting member 42 is used to fix the first mounting portion 4143 and the second mounting portion 4321 together.

[0129] For example, the first connector 42 can be a screw, bolt or other structure. In this embodiment, the specific structure of the first connector 42 is not further limited.

[0130] By providing a support plate 432 on the connector 43, a first mounting part 4143 on the rear bracket 41, and a corresponding second mounting part 4321 on the support plate 432, the first connector 42 is used to securely connect the two. This design provides a robust connection point, ensuring the stability and durability of the structure. The support plate 432 also provides support for the rear bracket 41, enhancing its load-bearing capacity. The use of the first connector 42 simplifies the installation process of the folding hook 415, making installation more intuitive and quick. Simultaneously, this design facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair, allowing users to easily disassemble and replace components.

[0131] For example, such as Figure 9 As shown, the side of the first mounting part 4143 facing the support plate 432 includes a support part 416. When the first mounting part 4143 is fixedly connected to the second mounting part 4321, the support part 416 abuts against the support plate 432.

[0132] With this configuration, the support portion 416 directly abuts against the support plate 432, forming an additional stress-bearing contact surface. This distributes the load at the connection point and reduces stress concentration in the connector between the first mounting portion 4143 and the second mounting portion 4321. It also prevents loosening of the connection due to long-term vibration or impact, improving the rigidity and durability of the overall structure.

[0133] For example, a portion of the support plate 432 can be positioned opposite to the bottom of the groove structure 4141, which facilitates connection. The first mounting portion 4143 is disposed at the bottom of the groove structure 4141, and the folding hook 415 is disposed at the first mounting portion 4143 and fixedly connected to the first connector 42.

[0134] By setting the folding hook 415 on the first mounting part 4143 and fixing it to the first connector 42, this design effectively utilizes the internal space of the scooter 100, making the overall structure more compact and reducing exposed parts.

[0135] In some embodiments, the support plate 432 may be formed by folding and extending the top edge of the bending body 431, and an arcuate transition area is formed between the support plate 432 and the bending body 431.

[0136] For example, the support plate 432 is formed by folding and extending the top edge of the base plate 4311, and the support plate 432 extends toward the rear wheel 20.

[0137] Of course, in other embodiments, the support plate 432 can also be formed by folding and extending from the first side plate 4312 toward the direction closer to the second side plate 4313, or the support plate 432 can be formed by folding and extending from the second side plate 4313 toward the direction closer to the first side plate 4312. In this embodiment, the formation position of the support plate 432 is not further limited.

[0138] This design allows the support plate 432 and the bending body 431 to be integrally formed through sheet metal folding, eliminating the weaknesses of welding or bolted connections. It also eliminates the stress concentration problem of traditional spliced ​​structures, resulting in stronger bending and torsional resistance, making it particularly suitable for withstanding dynamic loads (such as the repeated impacts of riding a scooter). The arc-shaped transition zone replaces right-angle bends, avoiding stress concentration at sharp corners of the sheet metal parts, reducing the probability of fatigue fracture, and extending the structural lifespan.

[0139] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 8 As shown, the support plate and the limiting part 444 are arranged sequentially along the axial direction (y direction) of the rear wheel 20, that is, distributed left and right. Specifically, along the axial direction (y direction) of the rear wheel 20, one side of the support plate 432 is fixedly connected to the first side plate 4312, and a clearance space 45 is formed between the other side of the support plate 432 and the second side plate 4313. The limiting part 444 can move within the clearance space 45, which is used to avoid the limiting part 444.

[0140] Of course, in other embodiments, one side of the support plate 432 may be fixedly connected to the second side plate 4313, and a clearance space 45 may be formed between the other side of the support plate 432 and the first side plate 4312. In this embodiment, there is no further limitation on which side plate the support plate 432 is located near.

[0141] This arrangement allows the support plate 432 and the limiting part 444 to be distributed laterally along the axial direction (y-direction) of the rear wheel 20, preventing interference between the shock absorber 44 and the limiting part 444 during riding. It also makes full use of the space of the connecting seat 43 along the axial direction (y-direction) of the rear wheel 20, resulting in a more compact structure. Furthermore, the lateral distribution of the support plate 432 and the limiting part 444 ensures a more even weight distribution of the connecting assembly 40 in the y-direction, improving balance performance.

[0142] In one possible implementation, the support plate 432 gradually slopes upward in the direction from the front end 30a to the rear end 30b. The top of the first side plate 4312 and / or the second side plate 4313 includes an upwardly protruding inclined segment 4315 for fixed connection with the support plate 432. The plane containing the top of the inclined segment 4315 is parallel to the support plate 432.

[0143] By tilting the support plate 432, it can be positioned closer to the connection point with the rear bracket 41, reducing the distance between the support plate 432 and the rear bracket 41 and facilitating connection. Additionally, the tilted support plate provides vertical support to the rear bracket 41, improving its stability.

[0144] For example, the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 have the same structure. That is, the top of the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 both include an upwardly protruding inclined section 4315, which makes the structure of the connecting seat 43 more symmetrical and improves its aesthetics.

[0145] In this embodiment, the support plate 432 is fixedly connected to the inclined segment 4315 of one of the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313. Of course, in other embodiments, the support plate 432 may also be fixedly connected to both the inclined segment 4315 of the first side plate 4312 and the inclined segment 4315 of the second side plate 4313 to improve the stability of the support plate 432. In this embodiment, the connection position of the support plate 432 is not further limited.

[0146] For example, the top of both the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 includes a horizontal segment 4316. The horizontal segment 4316 is located in the same plane as the top surface of the base plate 4311. In the direction from the front end 30a to the rear end 30b, an inclined segment 4315 is located at the end of the horizontal segment 4316 away from the base plate 4311.

[0147] During assembly, the top plate 31 of the pedal assembly 30 can abut against the top surface of the bottom plate 4311 and the top surface of the horizontal section 4316 of the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313, thereby providing support for the top plate 31. This allows for support at two locations with a single structure, simplifying the structure and improving overall compactness compared to using two separate structures.

[0148] By setting the horizontal section 4316, support can be provided for part of the structure of the rear support 41 and part of the pedal assembly 30, thereby improving the load-bearing capacity and stability of the rear support 41 and the pedal assembly 30. This connecting seat 43 has a simple structure and can provide support for the rear support 41 and the pedal assembly 30, improving the structural compactness of the scooter 100.

[0149] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the structures of the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 may be different. In this embodiment, there is no further limitation on whether the structures of the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 are the same.

[0150] like Figure 8As shown, the top surface of the support plate 432 is located in the plane containing the top of the inclined section 4315. In other words, the top surface of the support plate 432 is flush with the top of the inclined section 4315, which can save materials and reduce costs.

[0151] By setting the inclined section 4315, a relatively horizontal mounting surface can be provided for the support plate 432, simplifying the connection structure of the support plate 432 and reducing assembly difficulty. The support plate 432, the inclined section 4315, and the rear bracket 41 together form a multi-directional truss structure, which can provide support in multiple directions and improve overall stability. In addition, the pressure from the rear bracket 41 is transmitted to the support plate 432, and then through the inclined section 4315 parallel to the support plate 432 to the first side plate 4312 and / or the second side plate 4313, and then through the first side plate 4312 and / or the second side plate 4313 to the base plate 4311. This is a very direct and efficient force flow path, which can make the stress evenly distributed, avoid local stress concentration, and improve the durability and reliability of the scooter 100.

[0152] For example, the support plate 432 may include a first extension 4322. In the axial direction (y direction) of the rear wheel 20, the first extension 4322 is located on the side of the support plate 432 away from the limiting part 444, and the first extension 4322 is fixedly connected to the inclined section 4315.

[0153] By providing the first extension 4322, an operating space can be provided between the support plate 432 and the first side plate 4312 or the second side plate 4313, which facilitates the fixed connection (e.g., welding) of the support plate 432 and the inclined section 4315. In addition, it can save materials and reduce costs.

[0154] In one possible implementation, the support plate 432 may include a second extension 4323. In the axial direction (y-direction) of the rear wheel 20, the second extension 4323 is located on the side of the support plate 432 near the limiting portion 444. A second mounting portion 4321 is formed on the second extension 4323. The second mounting portion 4321 is equidistant from the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313.

[0155] This configuration allows the second mounting part 4321 to be located at the central axis of the pedal assembly 30, so that the vertical force of the rear bracket 41 and the pedal assembly 30 can be evenly distributed to the first side plate 4312 and the second side plate 4313 of the connecting seat 43. This avoids the torsional torque caused by the eccentricity of the mounting point, prevents the scooter 100 from tipping over, and improves the stability of the scooter 100.

[0156] In one possible implementation, see [link to previous section] Figure 9As shown, the support plate 432 gradually slopes upwards from the front end 30a to the rear end 30b. The top surface of the folding hook 415 is an inclined surface, which is parallel to the support plate 432. This allows the first connector 42 to be perpendicular to the support plate 432 and the folding hook 415. Therefore, when machining connecting holes on the first and second mounting parts, drilling can be done vertically, reducing drilling difficulty and improving processing efficiency.

[0157] In one possible implementation, the rear bracket 41 can be a plastic structure, and the connecting seat 43 can be a sheet metal structure.

[0158] This design, since plastic is generally lighter than metal, effectively reduces the overall weight of the scooter 100 by making the rear support 41 a plastic structure. This helps improve the portability and maneuverability of the scooter 100, making it easier to carry and use. Plastic materials are generally cheaper and easier to process than metal, which reduces production costs. Plastic has good corrosion resistance and is not easily affected by moisture, salt, and chemicals. The connecting seat 43 adopts a metal sheet metal structure, providing the necessary strength and rigidity to withstand various stresses and loads during the use of the scooter 100. The metal structure ensures the stability and durability of the critical connection 411.

[0159] Of course, in other embodiments, the rear bracket 41 may also be made of metal. In this embodiment, the materials of the rear bracket 41 and the connecting seat 43 are not further limited.
