Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In existing technologies, electric scooters have been widely welcomed as a convenient tool for short-distance travel. To meet portability needs, existing electric scooters are designed with folding frames. However, in practical use, it has been found that these scooters still occupy a large area even when folded, making them inconvenient to carry on public transportation or store at home or in the office. Furthermore, the complex folding process can easily lead to interference between components, making operation inconvenient and affecting folding efficiency, thus reducing user experience and product usability. Therefore, existing technologies require a solution that can further reduce the folded size, simplify the folding process, and avoid interference between components.

[0003] As a result, existing scooters suffer from poor folding efficiency and folding interference. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a scooter.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] One aspect of this application provides a scooter, which includes a frame, a front wheel, and a shock-absorbing assembly. The frame includes a front frame and a rear frame rotatably connected. The shock-absorbing assembly includes a front shock absorber disposed between the front end of the front frame and the front wheel. The rear end of the front frame is connected to the rear frame, and the front and rear frames are angled together. The front shock absorber, the front frame, and the rear frame cooperate to form a clearance space. This application creates a clearance space through the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber, the front frame, and the rear frame. When the scooter is folded, the clearance space improves space utilization. Simultaneously, the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber, the front frame, and the rear frame makes the scooter structure more compact and stable, providing structural stability, improving the user experience during storage and carrying, and optimizing the scooter's folded size, significantly enhancing its portability and practicality.

[0007] In some embodiments, the front end of the front body has a head tube, and a front shock absorber is connected to the end of the head tube facing the front wheel. The rear body has a first section and a second section with bends. The front end of the first section is connected to the front body. Along the height direction of the body, the front end of the first section is located above the rear end of the first section. On the lateral projection plane of the body, the clearance space is formed as an arched area. The rear body of this application is formed with a bend in the first and second sections. The structure of the arched area of ​​this application forms a stable body structure, which allows the load to be efficiently distributed to the front and rear wheels, enhancing the torsional stiffness and driving stability of the entire vehicle. At the same time, the structural cooperation of the front body, the rear body, and the front shock absorber increases the clearance space and avoids the problem of component interference after the scooter is folded, thereby making the folding operation smoother.

[0008] In some embodiments, the rear end of the first segment is connected to the second segment, and the second segment extends towards the rear of the vehicle body. The rear vehicle body of this application, with its structure consisting of the first segment and the second segment, optimizes the structural layout of the vehicle body and helps to increase the structural strength of the rear vehicle body.

[0009] In some embodiments, on the lateral projection of the vehicle body, a first angle, ∠A, is formed between the bottom surfaces of the first and second segments, and a second angle, ∠B, is formed between the top surfaces of the first and second segments. ∠A is less than ∠B, and both the first and second angles are greater than 90°. In this application, the angle formed between the top surfaces of the first and second segments of the rear vehicle body is greater than the angle formed between their bottom surfaces. This allows the first segment to be configured as a flared structure, which helps ensure a stable connection with the second segment. Simultaneously, the inclined first segment can also provide a accommodating cavity, thus making reasonable use of the rear vehicle body to form a storage cavity and improving the overall structural usability.

[0010] In some embodiments, along the length of the vehicle body, the rear end of the front body is connected to the rear body, and along the height of the scooter, the front end of the front body is located above the rear end of the front body. In the side projection of the vehicle body, a third angle is formed between the front body and the first segment, the third angle being ∠C and greater than 90°. The front body of this application is formed as a sloping structure with a higher front and lower rear, and forms a third angle with the sloping first segment, thus forming a roughly Z-shaped body structure through the front body, the first segment, and the second segment, which helps to ensure the structural strength of the vehicle body. Furthermore, the lower rear end of the front body connects to the rear body, creating clearance space on the lower side of the front body to avoid obstacles such as pedals on the rear body. Simultaneously, the front and rear ends of the front body of this application form a height difference, ensuring that the height of the stacked rear body is less than the height of the front end of the front body, thus avoiding the rear body occupying space in the height direction of the vehicle body, further improving the compactness and convenience of the structure.

[0011] In some embodiments, a footboard is rotatably connected to the rear body of the scooter. When the scooter is folded, the footboard is stacked on the side of the rear body, with at least a portion of the footboard located in the clearance space at the bottom of the front body. In the folded state, the footboard on the rear body of the scooter of this application can be partially located in the clearance space, ensuring that the footboard does not interfere with the body, achieving a smooth and reliable folding action, and further improving the portability and space utilization of the scooter in the folded state.

[0012] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the vehicle body, the top surface of the pedal is located below the bottom surface of the front vehicle body. In this application, the top surface of the folded pedal is positioned below the bottom surface of the front vehicle body, thereby avoiding interference between the pedal and the front vehicle body in the height direction. This ensures that the pedal can be partially moved into the clearance space after the vehicle body is folded. The height difference between the pedal and the front vehicle body improves the smoothness and reliability of the scooter's folding action.

[0013] In some embodiments, the scooter further includes a locking structure, through which the front and rear frames are locked together. When the scooter is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the pedal is located directly below the locking structure. The fact that at least a portion of the pedal in this application is located directly below the locking structure facilitates a forward movement of the user's footing area, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, this pedal structure differs from existing technologies where the pedal needs to be misaligned with the locking structure in the length direction. This structural design optimizes the overall structural layout of the scooter, improves structural stability, and enhances the user's riding experience.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first segment has a receiving groove, the opening of which is positioned facing away from the front wheel. This application forms a storage cavity by providing a receiving groove on the first segment. The placement of the receiving groove not only helps reduce vehicle weight but also optimizes material layout and increases storage flexibility.

[0015] In some embodiments, along the length of the vehicle body, the rear end of the front body has a first connecting portion, and the front end of the first segment has a second connecting portion. The scooter also includes a connecting member, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are detachably connected via the connecting member; wherein the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are rotatably connected to the connecting member respectively. In this application, the front body and the rear body are connected by a rotating member and form a rotatable engagement with the rotating member, so that the front body and the rear body are formed into a detachable and rotatably engaged structure, which ensures the assembly structure of the front body and the rear body and allows the front body and the rear body to be folded together, improving the structural stability and compactness of the scooter in the folded state.

[0016] In some embodiments, along the height direction of the vehicle body, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion form a communicating mounting channel; the connector includes a pivot, at least a portion of which passes through the mounting channel, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are rotatably connected to the pivot. The connector of this application at least partially passes through the mounting channel, thereby enabling the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion to be rotatably connected to the pivot. This structure ensures the foldability of the vehicle body, and at the same time, through the linkage of the pivot, enhances the stability and smoothness of the vehicle body during folding, effectively preventing structural twisting or damage during folding operations, and improving the service life of the entire vehicle and the user experience.

[0017] In some embodiments, the scooter also includes a rear wheel. When the scooter is folded, the rear body is stacked on the side of the front body via a connector, and the front and rear wheels are coaxial. The coaxial structure of the front and rear wheels in the folded state of the scooter in this application maximizes space utilization efficiency in the length direction of the scooter, and the side-folding front and rear body arrangement helps to ensure the stability of the scooter after folding.

[0018] In some embodiments, the scooter further includes a rear wheel, and the shock absorption assembly includes a rear shock absorber disposed between the second section and the rear wheel. This application includes a rear shock absorber, which, through its cooperation with the rear body and the rear body itself, can effectively disperse the impact force borne by the rear body during riding, improve the shock absorption effect in the rear wheel area, and ensure stability and comfort during gliding.

[0019] In some embodiments, the front body has a battery compartment with a bottom opening that communicates with a clearance space. The scooter also includes a battery and a cover. The battery is disposed in the battery compartment, and the cover is detachably disposed at the bottom opening to cover the battery. This application positions the battery compartment at the front of the scooter so that when the scooter needs to be folded, the battery compartment does not need to move with the scooter, ensuring the stability of the scooter structure and the balance and safety of the scooter when folded and stored. The opening of the battery compartment in this application communicates with the clearance space, facilitating easy battery removal, installation, and replacement without altering the overall structure of the scooter. This design not only improves user convenience but also ensures the battery is isolated from the external environment, enhancing the safety and durability of the scooter. The cover structure of this application facilitates sealing of the battery compartment, improving the overall structural durability and practicality.

[0020] In some embodiments, the cover plate has an operating protrusion; and / or the cover plate has multiple heat dissipation holes, the diameter of which gradually increases or decreases along the length of the vehicle body. This application improves operational convenience by providing an operating protrusion on the cover plate, enabling the cover plate to be detached and assembled with the battery compartment; simultaneously, the heat dissipation holes on the cover plate facilitate heat dissipation from the inside of the battery compartment, improving battery protection and effectively enhancing heat dissipation efficiency to prevent battery overheating.

[0021] In some embodiments, a handle is provided on the top of the front body; and / or a hole structure is provided on the front body, with the charging end of the battery disposed in the hole structure. This application, by providing a handle on the front body, facilitates the movement of the scooter after folding, thereby improving the scooter's mobility. The use of a hole structure for the charging end ensures safe and convenient connection to an external charging device, eliminating the need for additional covers or complex opening structures, thus simplifying the charging process.

[0022] In some embodiments, the scooter also includes a handlebar assembly, which is rotatably connected to the end of the head tube away from the front wheel. When the scooter is folded, the handlebar assembly flips towards the support surface used to support the scooter, and is stacked on the side of the front frame opposite to the rear frame. This flip-folding method allows the handlebar assembly and rear frame to be stacked on opposite sides of the front frame. This design utilizes optimized space layout, significantly reducing the scooter's folded size and improving space utilization. By stacking the front and rear frames on opposite sides, a stable folding structure is formed, enhancing overall folding stability, preventing swaying of the scooter in the folded state, and improving safety during storage. This folding design not only simplifies the folding process but also improves the scooter's portability and user experience.

[0023] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] This application utilizes a cooperative structure consisting of a front shock absorber, a front frame, and a first section to create clearance space. This clearance space design improves space utilization when the scooter is folded. Simultaneously, the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber, front frame, and first section makes the scooter structure more compact and stable, providing structural stability, enhancing the user experience during storage and carrying, and optimizing the scooter's folded size, significantly improving its portability and practicality.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] To address the problems of poor folding efficiency and folding interference in existing scooters, this invention provides a scooter, specifically a foldable scooter.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the scooter includes a frame 10, a front wheel 20, and a shock-absorbing assembly. The frame 10 includes a front frame 110 and a rear frame 120 that are rotatably connected. The shock-absorbing assembly includes a front shock absorber 40, which is disposed between the front end of the front frame 110 and the front wheel 20. The rear end of the front frame 110 is connected to one end of the first segment 121. The front frame 110 and the rear frame 120 are set at an angle, and the front shock absorber 40, the front frame 110, and the rear frame 120 cooperate to form an obstacle avoidance space.

[0043] The rear body 120 has a first section 121 and a second section 122 that are bent. The front body 110 is connected to the first section 121 and is set at an angle to the first section 121. The front shock absorber 40, the front body 110 and the first section 121 work together to form an obstacle avoidance space.

[0044] This application utilizes the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber 40, the front frame 110, and the first section 121 to create a clearance space, which improves space utilization when the scooter is folded. Simultaneously, the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber 40, the front frame 110, and the first section 121 makes the scooter structure more compact and stable, providing structural stability, enhancing the user experience during storage and carrying, and optimizing the scooter's folded size, significantly improving its portability and practicality.

[0045] In this embodiment, the scooter of this application has a folded state and an unfolded state. When it is necessary to ride the scooter, the scooter is in the unfolded state, at which time the handlebar assembly 60 is disposed above the front body 110, and the front body 110 and the rear body 120 are disposed along a first direction. When it is necessary to store the scooter, the scooter is in the folded state, and the handlebar assembly 60 and the rear body 120 are disposed on both sides of the front body 110 along a second direction.

[0046] The first direction is the length direction of the vehicle body 10, i.e. Figure 1 The X direction shown is the same as the width direction of the vehicle body 10. Figure 1 The Y-direction shown is the third direction, which is the height direction of the vehicle body 10. Figure 1 The Z direction is shown.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the front end of the front body 110 has a head tube 111, the front shock absorber 40 is connected to the end of the head tube 111 facing the front wheel 20, the front end of the first section 121 is connected to the front body 110, along the height direction of the body 10, the front end of the first section 121 is located above the rear end of the first section 121, and on the side projection plane of the body 10, the clearance space is formed as an arched area 140.

[0048] The handlebar assembly 60 and the front shock absorber 40 are respectively located on both sides of the head tube 111 along the axial direction, with the handlebar assembly 60 located on the upper side of the shock absorber assembly, and the front shock absorber 40 ensuring comfort and stability during riding.

[0049] Specifically, the front shock absorber 40 is located on the lower side of the head tube 111, thereby enabling the front shock absorber 40, the front body 110 and the rear body 120 to form an arched area 140.

[0050] In this application, the rear body 120 is formed into a first section 121 and a second section 122 with a bending configuration. The structure of the arched region 140 forms a stable body structure 10, which allows the load to be efficiently distributed to the front and rear wheels 30, enhancing the torsional rigidity and driving stability of the entire vehicle. At the same time, the structural cooperation of the front body 110, the rear body 120, and the front shock absorber 40 increases the clearance and avoids interference between components after the scooter is folded, thus making the folding operation smoother.

[0051] The first segment 121 is part of the rear body 120, and its front end is closely connected to the front body 110. In the height direction of the body 10, the front end of the first segment 121 is higher than its rear end. This asymmetrical height design is conducive to achieving stepped folding and significantly reduces the volume after folding.

[0052] In this embodiment, the front end of the first segment 121 is connected to the front body 110, and the rear end of the first segment 121 is connected to the second segment 122, which extends towards the rear of the body 10. The rear body 120 of this application, with its structure consisting of the first segment 121 and the second segment 122, optimizes the structural layout of the body 10 and helps to increase the structural strength of the rear body 120.

[0053] In this embodiment, along the length of the vehicle body 10, the rear end of the front body 110 is connected to the rear body 120. Along the height of the scooter, the front end of the front body 110 is located above the rear end of the front body 110. In the lateral projection of the vehicle body 10, a third angle ∠C is formed between the front body 110 and the first segment 121. The front body 110 of this application is formed as an inclined structure with a higher front and lower rear, and forms a third angle with the inclined first segment 121. This forms a roughly Z-shaped structure of the vehicle body 10 through the front body 110, the first segment 121, and the second segment 122, which helps to ensure the structural strength of the vehicle body 10. Furthermore, the arched structure formed by the front shock absorber, the front body 110, the first segment 121, and the second segment 122 further helps to ensure the structural strength of the vehicle body 10.

[0054] In this embodiment, the lower rear end of the front body 110 is connected to the rear body 120, and a clearance space can be formed on the lower side of the front body 110 to avoid components such as the pedal 130 on the rear body 120; at the same time, the front end and the rear end of the front body 110 of this application form a height difference so that the height of the stacked rear body 120 is less than the height of the front end of the front body 110, so as to avoid the rear body 120 occupying the space in the height direction of the body 10, further improving the compactness and convenience of the structure.

[0055] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a footboard 130 is rotatably connected to the rear body 120. When the scooter is in a folded state, the footboard 130 is flipped toward the top of the body 10 and stacked on the side of the rear body 120. At least a portion of the footboard 130 is located in the clearance space at the bottom of the front body 110.

[0056] In this application, the rear body 120 is stacked on the side of the front body 110, which significantly reduces the overall size after folding, reduces the space occupied in the length direction of the body 10, and improves the compactness of the structure and the convenience of storage.

[0057] In the folded state, the pedal 130 on the rear body 120 of the scooter of this application can be partially located in the clearance space, ensuring that the pedal 130 will not interfere with the body 10, realizing the smooth and reliable folding action, and further improving the portability and space utilization of the scooter in the folded state.

[0058] In this embodiment, along the height direction of the vehicle body 10, the top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the bottom surface of the front vehicle body 110, so as to at least partially accommodate the clearance space. The folded top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the bottom surface of the front vehicle body 110, thereby avoiding interference between the pedal 130 and the front vehicle body 110 in the height direction of the vehicle body 10. This ensures that the pedal 130 can be partially moved into the clearance space after the vehicle body 120 is folded. The height difference between the pedal 130 and the front vehicle body 110 improves the smoothness and reliability of the scooter's folding action.

[0059] Specifically, the pedals 130 are arranged in pairs on both sides of the rear body 120. When the scooter is folded, one of the pedals 130 is at least partially located in the clearance space.

[0060] Specifically, two pedals 130 are arranged on both sides of the rear body 120 along the second direction, and the two pedals 130 are used by the user to step on them while riding. When folded, the two pedals 130 flip towards the side of the rear body 120 and fit against the rear body 120.

[0061] The rear body 120 of this application is stacked on the side of the front body 110. Therefore, one of the steps 130 on both sides of the rear body 120 is located in the clearance space of the front body 110, which effectively reduces the space occupied in the width direction of the body 10, improves the compactness of the overall structure, and reduces the space occupied.

[0062] In this embodiment, the scooter is in a folded state, and the two ends of the pedal 130 along the length of the scooter body 10 are located in the middle area of ​​the clearance space. By positioning the pedal 130 in the middle area of ​​the clearance space, this application further optimizes the smoothness of operation during the folding process, reduces potential damage caused by collisions between components, avoids interference when the scooter is folded, and also improves the user experience.

[0063] In this embodiment, along the length of the vehicle body 10, the front end of the front body 110 is connected to the handlebar assembly 60 to form a first folding end, and the rear end of the front body 110 is connected to the rear body 120 to form a second folding end. Along the height of the vehicle body 10, the first folding end is located above the second folding end. The connection end between the pedal 130 and the rear body 120 forms a third folding end, and along the height of the vehicle body 10, the second folding end is located above the third folding end. The scooter has a first folding end, a second folding end, and a third folding end, forming a stepped folding structure. This layout not only optimizes the space occupied after folding but also simplifies the folding steps, facilitating quick operation for the user. It also provides better stability in the folded state. This innovative folding mechanism makes the folded volume more compact, significantly reducing the overall height after folding and greatly improving portability and storage efficiency.

[0064] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the scooter also includes a locking structure 70, with the front body 110 and the rear body 120 locked together by the locking structure 70. When the scooter is in the unfolded state, at least a portion of the footboard 130 is located directly below the locking structure 70.

[0065] The locking structure 70 includes a locking element and a locking engagement element, one of which is located on the front body 110 and the other is located on the rear body 120.

[0066] The locking component and the locking mating component form a locking structure, which can be a latch structure, etc.

[0067] The scooter body 10 of this application is equipped with a locking component and a locking engagement component. The locking component and the locking engagement component can switch the connection state between the front scooter body 110 and the rear scooter body 120 through locking and engaging. When the locking component and the locking engagement component are locked, the scooter body 110 and the rear scooter body 120 are stably connected in the unfolded state. When the locking component and the locking engagement component are unlocked, the rear scooter body 120 can be folded to the side of the front scooter body 110, and the front scooter body 110 and the rear scooter body 120 form a folding engagement, so that the scooter body can be switched to the folded state. The locking component and the locking engagement component can be precisely engaged, so as to realize the quick locking and unlocking of the scooter body, which enhances the portability and safety of the scooter body.

[0068] At least a portion of the pedal 130 of this application is located directly below the locking structure 70, which facilitates the user's stepping area to move forward, thereby improving the user's experience. At the same time, this structural arrangement of the pedal 130 of this application differs from the prior art in that the pedal 130 needs to be misaligned with the locking structure 70 in the length direction. The structural arrangement of this application optimizes the overall structural layout of the scooter, improves the stability of the structural arrangement, and provides a better riding experience for the user.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the scooter is in a folded state, the top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the locking member and the locking engagement member along the height direction of the vehicle body 10.

[0070] Specifically, the pedal 130 is located entirely below the locking member and the locking mating member, thus ensuring that the pedal 130 is located directly below the locking member and the locking mating member, and that there is no interference with the locking member and the locking mating member when folding or flipping.

[0071] The pedal 130 is located entirely below the locking member and the locking mating member, so the pedal 130 can be configured into any shape according to user needs, such as a cube.

[0072] In this application, the top surface of the folded pedal 130 is located below the locking member and the locking engagement member, thereby avoiding interference between the pedal 130 and the locking member and the locking engagement member when the pedal 130 is folded. In this application, the top surface of the pedal 130 is located below the locking member and the locking engagement member along the height direction of the vehicle body 10, so that the pedal 130 can be smoothly folded during the folding process, thereby achieving a more compact folding form and further reducing the volume after folding.

[0073] In this embodiment, the height of the pedal 130 is adaptably set to optimize the user's standing posture during riding and improve riding comfort. Furthermore, in the folded state, the lower height of the pedal 130 helps to further reduce the space occupied by the vehicle, making it easier to store and carry. Specifically, the height can be 10cm, 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, 30cm, etc.

[0074] Furthermore, the pedal 130 of this application can be set according to the user's experience, and can also be set according to the size of the vehicle body 10. For example, when the vehicle body 10 is large enough, the corresponding pedal 130 can also be larger than 30cm.

[0075] In another embodiment, the pedal 130 portion has a clearance area, and the top surface of another portion is flush with or above the locking member and locking engagement member.

[0076] Specifically, the pedal 130 has a clearance area, and when the scooter is folded, the locking element and locking engagement element are located in the clearance area.

[0077] The pedal 130 of this application integrates a clearance area so that when the pedal 130 is folded, interference is avoided by the locking element and locking mating element being located in the clearance area. During the folding process, the pedal 130 can smoothly bypass the locking element and locking mating element, avoiding interference between components and making the folding action smoother. Furthermore, by setting the clearance structure, the height of other parts of the pedal 130 is not limited by the height of the locking element and locking mating element, which increases the setting range of the pedal 130 and allows for flexible setting according to user needs, further improving the user experience.

[0078] In this embodiment, the avoidance structure can be formed as a groove structure or as a slope structure, specifically, the surface of the avoidance area can be provided on the lower side of the locking member and the locking mating member when the pedal 130 is folded.

[0079] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a battery compartment 112 is provided on the front body 110, and the scooter also includes a battery, which is located in the battery compartment 112.

[0080] This application places the battery compartment 112 on the front body 110 so that when the body 10 needs to be folded, the battery compartment 112 does not need to move along with it because it is placed on the front body 110, thus ensuring the stability of the scooter structure and the safety of the scooter when folded.

[0081] In this embodiment, the opening of the battery compartment 112 is located at the bottom of the front body 110, and the bottom of the front body 110 has a clearance space. The opening of the battery compartment 112 communicates with the clearance space. The scooter also includes a cover plate 50, which is detachably disposed at the opening to cover the battery. The opening of the battery compartment 112 in this application communicates with the clearance space, facilitating easy battery removal, installation, and replacement without altering the overall structure of the scooter. This design not only improves user convenience but also ensures the battery is isolated from the external environment, enhancing the safety and durability of the scooter. The structure of the cover plate 50 facilitates sealing of the battery compartment 112, improving the overall structural durability and practicality.

[0082] In this embodiment, the cover plate 50 has an operation protrusion. By providing the operation protrusion on the cover plate 50, this application facilitates the operation of the cover plate 50, enabling the cover plate 50 to be disassembled and assembled with the battery compartment 112, thereby improving the ease of operation.

[0083] In this embodiment, the cover plate 50 has multiple heat dissipation holes. The diameter of these holes gradually increases or decreases along the length of the vehicle body 10. The heat dissipation holes on the cover plate 50 facilitate heat dissipation from the inside of the battery compartment 112, improving battery protection and effectively enhancing heat dissipation efficiency to prevent overheating. Specifically, the number and shape of the heat dissipation holes can be adapted as needed, for example, the holes can be round, polygonal, or elliptical.

[0084] In this embodiment, a handle 113 is provided on the top of the front body 110; and / or a hole structure is provided on the front body 110, with the charging end of the battery disposed in the hole structure. By providing a handle 113 on the front body 110, this application facilitates the movement of the scooter after folding by using the handle 113, thereby improving the scooter's mobility. The hole structure also ensures that the charging end can be safely and conveniently connected to an external charging device, eliminating the need for an additional cover 50 or a complex opening structure, thus simplifying the charging process.

[0085] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the first section 121 of the rear vehicle body 120 has a receiving groove 1211, with the opening of the receiving groove 1211 facing away from the front wheel 20. This application forms a storage cavity by providing a receiving groove 1211 on the first section 121. The provision of the receiving groove 1211 not only helps to reduce the weight of the vehicle body 10, but also optimizes the material layout and increases storage flexibility.

[0086] Furthermore, along the length direction of the vehicle body 10, the rear end of the front body 110 has a first connecting part 114, the front end of the first segment 121 has a second connecting part 123, and the scooter also includes a connector, wherein the first connecting part 114 and the second connecting part 123 are detachably connected by the connector; wherein the first connecting part 114 and the second connecting part 123 are respectively rotatably connected to the connector.

[0087] The front body 110 and the rear body 120 of this application are connected by a rotating component and form a rotational engagement with the rotating component, so that the front body 110 and the rear body 120 form a detachable and rotationally engaged structure, which ensures the assembly structure of the front body 110 and the rear body 120 and allows the front body 110 and the rear body 120 to be folded together, thereby improving the structural stability and compactness of the scooter in the folded state.

[0088] In this embodiment, the connector includes a rotating shaft, such as a pin. The front body 110 has a first connecting portion 114, and the rear body 120 has a second connecting portion 123. A channel structure is formed between the first connecting portion 114 and the second connecting portion 123. The connector is disposed in the mounting channel and forms a rotational fit with the first connecting portion 114 and the second connecting portion 123.

[0089] Specifically, along the height direction of the vehicle body 10, the first connecting portion 114 and the second connecting portion 123 form a communicating mounting channel; at least a portion of the connector passes through the mounting channel, and the first connecting portion 114 and the second connecting portion 123 are rotatably connected to the connector. The connector of this application at least partially passes through the mounting channel, thereby enabling the first connecting portion 114 and the second connecting portion 123 to form a rotatable connection with the pivot. This structure ensures the foldability of the vehicle body 10, and at the same time, through the linkage of the pivot, enhances the stability and smoothness of the vehicle body 10 during the folding process, effectively preventing structural twisting or damage during folding operations, and improving the service life of the entire vehicle and the user experience.

[0090] In this embodiment, the scooter also includes a rear wheel 30. When the scooter is folded, the rear body 120 is stacked on the side of the front body 110 via a connector, and the front wheel 20 and the rear wheel 30 are coaxial. The coaxial structure of the front wheel 20 and the rear wheel 30 in the folded state of the scooter in this application maximizes space utilization efficiency in the length direction of the body 10, and the side-folding arrangement of the front and rear body 120 helps to ensure the stability of the scooter after folding.

[0091] In this embodiment, the shock absorption assembly also includes a rear shock absorber, which is disposed between the second section 122 and the rear wheel 30. The rear shock absorber, through its interaction with the rear vehicle body 120 and the interaction between the rear shock absorber and the rear vehicle body 120, effectively disperses the impact force borne by the rear vehicle body 120 during driving, improves the shock absorption effect in the rear wheel area, and ensures stability and comfort during gliding. The addition of the rear shock absorber makes the vehicle body 10 structure more complete, providing more comprehensive support when facing complex road conditions, and enhancing the user's experience and sense of security during use.

[0092] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the handlebar assembly 60 includes a stem 610 and a handlebar piece 620. One end of the stem 610 is rotatably connected to the front body 110, and the other end of the stem 610 is connected to the handlebar piece 620. When the scooter is in a folded state, the handlebar piece 620 is parallel to the support surface.

[0093] The riser 610 is connected between the handlebar assembly 620 and the front frame 110. When the handlebar assembly 60 needs to be folded, the riser 610 and the handlebar assembly 620 are flipped by rotating the riser 610, thereby switching the position of the handlebar assembly 60.

[0094] This application employs a rotatable stem tube 610 structure, enabling the handlebars 620 to be parallel to the support surface. This ensures a more compact scooter shape in the folded state, avoiding unnecessary space waste between the handlebars 620 and the support surface, and achieving a more efficient storage effect. The folding structure design formed by the rotation of the stem tube 610 also improves the ease of operation and enhances the user experience.

[0095] In this embodiment, the scooter also includes a folding seat 80, which is disposed between the handlebar assembly 60 and the front body 110 to enable a rotatable connection between the handlebar assembly 60 and the front body 110.

[0096] Specifically, the folding seat 80 includes a first seat body 810 and a second seat body 820. The first seat body 810 is connected to the front body 110, and the second seat body 820 is rotatably connected to the first seat body 810. The handlebar assembly 60 is connected to the second seat body 820. The area where the first seat body 810 and the second seat body 820 rotate together is offset from the central reference plane of the body 10 and forms an offset angle with the central reference plane.

[0097] The first seat 810 is connected to the head tube 111 of the front body 110, and the second seat 820 is connected to the riser tube 610 of the handlebar assembly 60.

[0098] This application adopts a structural setting in which the rotational engagement area of ​​the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is offset to the central reference plane, so that when the handlebar assembly 60 is flipped, it can be flipped along the offset angle, ensuring the stability and smoothness of the scooter folding.

[0099] In this embodiment, the folding seat 80 also includes a rotating component disposed between the first seat body 810 and the second seat body 820. The rotating component may be a rotating shaft. The first seat body 810 and the second seat body 820 are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft, and the area where the rotating shaft is located forms a rotationally engaged area.

[0100] In this embodiment, the rotation angle between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is 160°-190°, preferably 180°, thereby enabling the riser 610 to flip within the range of 160°-190° to adjust the flip position of the handlebar assembly 60. This rotating structure between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 ensures that the riser 610 and the handlebar assembly 620 can flip to the side of the frame 10, improving the compactness between the handlebar assembly 60 and the frame 10. When the rotation angle between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is 180°, and the handlebar assembly 60 is in the unfolded position, the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 have mutually contacting surfaces. When the handlebar assembly 60 is switched to the folded position, the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 rotate via a rotating component, and the contacting surfaces become coplanar.

[0101] The central reference plane of the vehicle body 10 in this application is as follows: Figure 4 The elevation SS shown is perpendicular to the supporting surface. It can be understood that the central reference plane is the symmetrical reference plane of the vehicle body 10 in the second direction, and the vehicle body 10 forms a generally symmetrical structure about the central reference plane. The handlebar assembly 60 of this application is offset from this central reference plane and flipped to the side of the vehicle body 10.

[0102] This application adopts a design in which the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 are offset from the central reference plane of the body 10, thereby achieving a misalignment between the handlebar assembly 60 and the central reference plane of the body 10. This layout is beneficial for the handlebar assembly 60 to be folded toward the front wheel of the body 10 in the folded state, thereby reducing the overall storage volume.

[0103] In this embodiment, the connection area between the first seat 810 and the second seat 820 is offset from the central reference plane of the vehicle body 10, wherein the offset angle satisfies 35°-55°, preferably 45°. This application employs a structural setting with an offset angle of 35°-55° to ensure that the handlebar assembly 60 is not affected by the vehicle body 10 during the side folding process towards the front wheel side of the vehicle body 10, thus ensuring the stability of the handlebar assembly 60's rotational setting.

[0104] In this embodiment, an angle is formed between the top surface of the head tube 111 and the supporting surface, that is, the top surface of the head tube 111 is formed as an inclined surface, wherein the angle is preferably 5°, so that when the offset angle meets 35°-55°, the handlebar assembly 60 can be folded by the combination of the angle and the offset angle so that the handlebar part 620 can be parallel to the supporting surface, thereby improving the compactness of the overall structure.

[0105] In this embodiment, the riser 610 includes a first tube body and a second tube body. The first tube body is connected to the folding seat 80, one end of the second tube body is retractably disposed within the first tube body, and the second end of the second tube body is rotatably connected to the handlebar 620. The first and second tube bodies form a telescopic tube structure to allow for height adjustment of the riser 610.

[0106] This application uses a telescopic first tube and a second tube to achieve flexible height adjustment of the handlebar assembly 60 to meet the needs of different users; and when the handlebar assembly 60 is folded, it can also reduce the space occupied by storage through telescopic movement.

[0107] In this embodiment, the height of the riser 610 can be adapted to the user's needs and storage requirements. A locking element is also provided on the riser 610 so that when the first pipe and the second pipe form a riser 610 of a preset length, they are locked together, thus achieving a relatively fixed arrangement of the first and second pipes.

[0108] In this embodiment, a telescopic structure is formed between the first tube and the second tube, and a rotating fit is formed between the second tube and the handlebar assembly 620, thereby realizing the adjustment of the structure between the riser tube 610 and the handlebar assembly 620, which is beneficial to improving the applicability of the handlebar assembly 60 to suit different usage scenarios and users; at the same time, the structural arrangement of the riser tube 610 and the handlebar assembly 620 is also beneficial to improving the structural stability of the handlebar assembly 60.

[0109] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0110] This application utilizes the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber 40, the front frame 110, and the first section 121 to create a clearance space, which improves space utilization when the scooter is folded. Simultaneously, the cooperative structure of the front shock absorber 40, the front frame 110, and the first section 121 makes the scooter structure more compact and stable, providing structural stability, enhancing the user experience during storage and carrying, and optimizing the scooter's folded size, significantly improving its portability and practicality.
