Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electric scooters, and more particularly to a quick-seat switching device for electric scooters. Background Technology

[0002] Electric scooters have become a rapidly developing short-distance transportation tool in recent years, gaining popularity due to their lightweight, flexibility, energy efficiency, and environmental friendliness. However, most traditional electric scooters lack seats, requiring users to ride standing up, which can be uncomfortable for extended periods. To improve the riding experience, some electric scooters have begun to be equipped with seats.

[0003] Regarding seat storage, Chinese patent CN214875264U discloses an "electric scooter seat flipping mechanism," which hinges to the frame body via a rotating shaft at the bottom of a support column, and uses a connecting rod and fixing groove to fold and stow the seat. However, this solution only achieves seat folding and storage, lacking protective measures for the seat. Even after storage, the seat remains exposed to the external environment, making it susceptible to sun exposure, rain, and dust corrosion, leading to accelerated aging of the seat material and a shortened lifespan. Chinese patent CN117002655B discloses an electric scooter where the seat mechanism is folded and connected to the frame, folding into the shelf when the mechanism is in the folded state. While this solution achieves concealed seat storage, shelf space is limited, and it also lacks a protective structure for the seat. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing electric scooter seats, which have limited adjustment functions and mostly only allow for one-way adjustment, making it difficult to meet the multi-dimensional adaptation needs of users with different heights and arm lengths, this invention provides an electric scooter seat quick switching device.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A quick-change device for the seat of an electric scooter includes a scooter; it also includes a fixed frame, a sliding frame, a seat, a locking structure, a connecting frame, a storage box, and locking bolts; the fixed frame is installed on the frame; both the fixed frame and the frame have tracks, and a sliding frame slides on the tracks; a connecting frame is connected to the sliding frame; a seat is installed on the connecting frame; the seat is provided with a locking structure for controlling its up and down movement; a storage box is provided on the right side of the scooter; and locking bolts for fixing the sliding frame are provided on the fixed frame.

[0006] Preferably, the sliding frame is made of alloy material to improve its load-bearing strength.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes a sun-protective cloth, magnets, and a roller shutter; the sun-protective cloth is installed on the left side of the storage box, and two magnets are provided on the underside of the sun-protective cloth; a roller shutter that can be rolled up and opened is provided in the middle of the storage box.

[0008] As a preferred option, the sun protection fabric is made of waterproof, dustproof, and breathable materials.

[0009] Preferably, the internal space of the storage box is set to accommodate the seat storage.

[0010] Preferably, it also includes a protective plate and a protective cloth; the sliding frame is movably equipped with a protective plate for knee protection; the protective plate is rolled up inside for waterproofing and windproofing.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the protective plate is provided with a soft rubber cushioning pad.

[0012] As a preferred option, the protective fabric is made of waterproof and non-breathable material.

[0013] As a preferred option, magnets are also provided on the underside of the protective fabric, and the frame is made of alloy material.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a fixing strap and a limiting block; two fixing straps are installed on the sliding frame; the sliding frame is provided with a groove, and a limiting block is provided on both sides of the groove.

[0015] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention realizes a sliding frame that slides and locks on the fixed frame and the frame track, allowing the user to adjust the seat height according to their own height. By setting up a storage box, sun protection cloth, magnets, and other structures, the seat can be completely pushed into the storage box when it is not in use. The top opening of the storage box is covered by the sun protection cloth, which achieves semi-enclosed storage protection for the seat. This effectively prevents the seat from being exposed to high temperatures, rain, and dust outdoors, delays the aging and wear of the seat cushion material, and extends the service life of the seat. By setting up a protective plate and a protective cloth, the protective plate can contact the rider's knees and provide a counterforce during sudden braking, effectively preventing injuries caused by the rider leaning forward due to inertia; the protective cloth can be opened and fixed to the frame in rainy weather or winter to achieve waterproof and windproof protection for the area below the knees, improving the safety and comfort of riding. By setting up fixing straps and limiting blocks, the existing problems of difficult disassembly and installation are solved, while reducing the risk of strap wear. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside used in this text are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit the invention.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] A quick-change device for the seat 103 of an electric scooter, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes a scooter 1; It also includes a fixed frame 101, a sliding frame 102, a seat 103, a locking structure 104, a connecting frame 105, a storage box 106, and a locking bolt 107; the fixed frame 101 is installed on the frame 1001; both the fixed frame 101 and the frame 1001 are provided with rails, and the sliding frame 102 is provided to slide on the rails; the connecting frame 105 is connected to the sliding frame 102; the seat 103 is installed on the connecting frame 105; the locking structure 104 is provided on the seat 103; the storage box 106 is provided on the right side of the scooter 1; the locking bolt 107 is provided on the fixed frame 101.

[0021] The sliding frame 102 is made of alloy material to improve its load-bearing strength.

[0022] It also includes a sun protection cloth 201, a magnet 202 and a roller shutter 203; the sun protection cloth 201 is installed on the left side of the storage box 106, and two magnets 202 are provided on the lower side of the sun protection cloth 201, which are used to fix the sun protection cloth 201 to the storage box 106; the roller shutter 203 is provided in the middle of the storage box 106.

[0023] Sunscreen fabric 201 is made of waterproof, dustproof and breathable material.

[0024] The internal space of the storage box 106 is set to accommodate the seat 103.

[0025] When using the electric scooter 1, the seat 103 needs to be adjusted to a suitable height and position according to the user's height, arm length, etc., to accommodate different users' actual situations. Therefore, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the seat 103, the locking structure 104 can be loosened, and then the seat 103 can be manually pulled up and down to adjust its height. After the adjustment is completed, the locking structure 104 can be locked to adjust the height of the seat 103. When it is necessary to adjust the left and right position of the seat 103 to accommodate different arm lengths, the locking bolt 107 can be manually loosened to remove its locking effect on the sliding frame 102. Then, the user can manually adjust the seat 103 to move it left and right, so that the sliding frame 102 can slide left and right on the track of the frame 1001 and the connecting frame 105 to adjust the left and right position of the seat 103, achieving multi-directional adjustment of the seat 103. After the adjustment is completed, the locking bolt 107 can be tightened again to fix the position of the sliding frame 102.

[0026] When the user is not using the scooter 1, in rainy weather, high outdoor temperatures, or after being exposed to direct sunlight and reaching high temperatures, the seat 103 may get wet, potentially causing burns. In other situations where the scooter is not in use outdoors, to prevent the seat 103's cushioning material from aging and wearing out excessively, the user can lower the seat 103 to a temperature similar to... Figure 2 In the lowest position shown, manually separate the magnet 202 from the storage box 106 by loosening the locking bolt 107, and then push the seat 103 to the right so that it is completely inside the storage box 106. Then flip the sunshade cloth 201 to cover the opening at the top of the storage box 106 and fix it to the right side of the storage box 106 by the magnet 202. This achieves semi-enclosed storage of the seat 103, preventing it from being affected by high temperature, rain and dust outdoors, which would reduce its service life and affect the user's riding experience.

[0027] During daily riding, the storage box 106 can be used as a normal storage box for placing items. If there is water accumulation inside the storage box 106, the bottom roll-up curtain 203 can be opened to drain and clean the water, reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Based on Example 1, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a protective plate 301 and a protective cloth 302; the protective plate 301 is rotatably connected to the sliding frame 102; the protective cloth 302 is rolled up inside the protective plate 301.

[0030] The surface of the protective plate 301 is provided with a soft rubber cushioning pad.

[0031] The protective fabric 302 is made of waterproof and non-breathable material.

[0032] Magnets 202 are also provided on the underside of the protective cloth 302, and the frame 1001 is made of alloy material.

[0033] It also includes a fixing strap 401 and a limiting block 402; two fixing straps 401 are installed on the sliding frame 102; the sliding frame 102 is provided with a groove, and a limiting block 402 is provided on both sides of the groove.

[0034] During cycling, in the event of an unexpected situation requiring sudden braking, the rider's entire body will lean forward due to inertia. To maintain balance, the rider needs to firmly grip the handlebars with their wrists and utilize the friction between their feet and the frame 1001. These two actions work together to stabilize the rider. Otherwise, the rider is prone to being thrown forward due to inertia, resulting in injuries such as head, chin, and knee injuries. Therefore, to improve safety during sudden braking and prevent the rider's feet from slipping and losing balance, the protective plate 301 should be opened to the desired position before riding. Figure 7 As shown, its height is close to the rider's knee height. When sudden braking occurs and the rider leans forward, it contacts the rider's knee and applies a counterforce, preventing excessive forward leaning and potential injury. Additionally, to prevent water and wind damage in rainy or winter weather and to avoid wetting trouser legs, it can be manually opened by pulling down the protective fabric 302. Figure 7 As shown, it is magnetically attached to the frame 1001 to achieve waterproof and windproof operation for the area below the knee, improving riding comfort.

[0035] In daily life, there is a need to install a child seat 103 on the frame 1001 for children to ride in. However, in the current operation, the child seat 103 needs to be manually secured with straps, which is a complicated process with generally poor fixation. Furthermore, after securing, the child seat 103 is at risk of shifting, resulting in poor stability. It is also difficult to position the straps correctly in the center of the frame 1001, leading to misalignment and further reducing its effectiveness. Additionally, the straps may wear down due to being too close to the ground or directly contacting the frame 1001, significantly reducing safety and making disassembly inconvenient. Therefore, to facilitate the positioning of the child seat 103... Position 3 facilitates both fixing and disassembly. When a child seat 103 needs to be installed, it can be placed directly in the groove of the sliding frame 102 and fixed by four limiting blocks 402 to prevent it from sliding left and right. After placement, the front of the fixing strap 401 can be manually pulled out and wrapped around the frame of the child seat 103. Then, the front of the fixing strap 401 is fixed to the back to secure the child seat 103. When disassembly is required, the fixing strap 401 can be loosened directly, which solves the existing problems of difficult disassembly and installation and reduces the risk of strap wear.
