Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention patent relates to the field of electric self-balancing scooters, specifically to enhancing the portability of electric unicycle skateboards. Background Technology
[0002] Electric unicycle skateboard (or electric unicycle skateboard) Figure 1 This is a new type of skateboard that originated overseas. It boasts a unique appearance, strong adaptability to various terrains, and considerable range, attracting a loyal user base both domestically and internationally. Due to its construction, this type of skateboard is generally quite heavy, typically exceeding 12 kilograms. However, the manufacturer usually only provides one handle; when not in use, it can only be carried with one hand off the ground, making long-distance carrying very strenuous. In the more than ten years since its inception, although some third-party solutions have emerged, portability has remained a persistent pain point for this type of product. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention adds a portable device to the existing electric unicycle skateboard, providing a brand-new and more labor-saving portable solution for this type of skateboard.
[0004] This invention adds a retractable pull rod 1 to the electric unicycle skateboard. Figure 2 The lever 1 is fixed to one side of the skateboard 6. When the person is not on the board, the lever 1 can be pulled out, and the skateboard can be pushed and pulled by the lever handle 2. The lever 1 can also control the steering and prevent tilting. It functions similarly to a suitcase handle.
[0005] To utilize the electric power of this type of skateboard, a switch 3 is added to the handlebar 2. Switch 3 activates the self-balancing mode of the electric unicycle skateboard (a built-in function of this type of skateboard). In self-balancing mode, by slightly pressing the skateboard surface 4 forward using the handlebar 2, the skateboard will move forward or accelerate under electric power; by slightly leaning back, the skateboard will decelerate or move backward. With electric power, the handlebar 2 allows for easy control of the skateboard over small potholes or sloping surfaces.
[0006] The invention is simple in structure, easy to operate, and has no technical barriers to implementation. Attached Figure Description
[0007] Figure 1 This is a typical image of a unicycle electric skateboard, which is not equipped with the portability devices such as the pull rod mentioned in this invention.
[0008] Figure 2 This is a sample image after the pull rod has been installed. The pull rod has been pulled out.
[0009] Figure 3 This is a sample image after the tie rod has been installed. The tie rod has been retracted.
[0010] Switch 3 has a communication connection with the electric skateboard. This connection can be wireless or wired. A wired connection can be a retractable, exposed cable or concealed within the handle. Therefore, the communication connection is not shown in the rendering. Detailed Implementation
[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The accompanying drawings and the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0012] When carrying the skateboard, the user can stand on the ground, pull out the lever 1, turn on the switch 3, and hold the handle 2 to control the direction to move forward. The skateboard can automatically follow in self-balancing mode.
[0013] When switch 3 is activated in self-balancing mode, the user can use the lever handle 2 to keep the board surface 4 level, and the skateboard will maintain dynamic balance and stay in place.
[0014] After switch 3 turns off the self-balancing mode, the skateboard loses its power drive, at which point the tail 5 of the board can be placed on the ground and removed from your hands.
[0015] When lever 1 is not in use, turn off switch 3 and retract lever 1. Figure 3 This way, lever 1 will not affect the user's gliding on the board, and it also minimizes the impact on the unique shape of this type of skateboard.
Claims
1. A pull rod 1 is added to one side (left or right) of the electric unicycle skateboard. Its characteristic is... Pull rod 1 is fixed at approximately the center of the side 6 of the plate. Pull rod 1 is telescopic; it can be pulled out when needed and retracted when not needed.
2. Add a switch 3 to the handle 2 or other parts to allow users to easily turn the self-balancing mode of this type of skateboard on or off at any time. The self-balancing mode provides power and braking force for the handle 1 to control the movement of the skateboard.
