Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field related to awnings, and in particular relates to a fully foldable awning for an electric vehicle. Background Art
[0002] In my country, electric bicycles have been widely recognized by the general public for their affordable prices and convenient travel methods, and are a very popular means of transportation for short-distance travel for urban and rural residents. It is necessary to hold an umbrella and wear a raincoat when it rains, but it is very dangerous to hold an umbrella while riding a bicycle, which can easily cause traffic accidents. Therefore, electric bicycle awnings that can free your hands have come into being.
[0003] At present, there are two main types of tram awnings on the market: non-foldable and semi-foldable. Non-foldable awnings are gradually being eliminated by the market due to their large size, inconvenience, unsightly appearance, and unsafety. Semi-foldable awnings have the following shortcomings: 1. The front windshield cannot be folded, and the transparent windshield becomes blurred after being exposed to wind and sun, blocking the view and affecting riding; 2. The front windshield is still too large after folding, affecting the wind resistance and passability of riding; 3. The folding and opening process has many steps and takes a long time, which makes it inconvenient for consumers to use; 4. Due to the unreasonable design of the folding structure, the installation steps are complicated and difficult to install.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to study a folding mechanism with reasonable design, a fully foldable electric vehicle awning that is convenient to install and use. Utility Model Content

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that directional words, such as the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicating directions and positional relationships are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of narrating the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present application.
[0028] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0029] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a fully foldable electric vehicle canopy comprises: a folding frame 1 for supporting a canopy cloth 3, a handlebar connector 2 for connecting the folding frame 1 to the handlebar of the electric vehicle, and the canopy cloth 3.
[0030] The folding frame 1 is composed of two groups of scissor-type connecting rod units, a connecting member 13 and a cross bar 14. The scissor-type connecting rod unit includes a cross-arranged connecting rod 11. The two groups of scissor-type connecting rod units are arranged in parallel. The connecting member 13 is hinged on the scissor-type connecting rod unit. The two ends of the cross bar 14 are respectively movably connected with the connecting members 13 on the two groups of scissor-type connecting rod units. Specifically, the length of the connecting rod 11 on both sides of the inner hinge point of the scissor-type connecting rod unit is less than or equal to the length of the connecting rod 11 on both sides of the outer hinge point. It can be understood that the curvature of each section of the scissor-type frame bending backwards is adjusted by adjusting the length difference between the connecting rod 11 on both sides of the inner hinge point and the connecting rod 11 on both sides of the outer hinge point. Each section can be freely adjusted to achieve any shape of the overall frame bending backwards.
[0031] In the scissor-type connecting rod unit, the connecting rod 11 adjacent to the sliding sleeve 22 is hingedly connected to the lug 221, and the connecting rod 11 adjacent to the handle connecting member 2 is hingedly connected to the handle connecting member 2. It can be understood that the sliding sleeve 22 can slide along the handle connecting member 2 to ensure that the scissor-type connecting rod unit can be completely folded and unfolded.
[0032] Both ends of the crossbar 14 are provided with umbrella beads 141 , and the umbrella beads 141 are fixedly connected to the awning cloth 3 .
[0033] The handlebar connector 2 includes a connection groove 21 and a sliding sleeve 22. The connection groove 21 is provided at one end of the handlebar connector 2. It can be understood that the handlebar connector 2 is fixedly mounted on the rearview mirror base of the electric vehicle handlebar through the connection groove 21. The sliding sleeve 22 is slidably provided on the handlebar connector 2. The sliding sleeve 22 is provided with a lug 221. The scissor-type connecting rod is movably connected to the handlebar connector 2.
[0034] The awning cloth 3 includes a front cloth 31 and a ceiling cloth 32, and the front cloth 31 and the ceiling cloth 32 are fixedly connected. The front cloth 31 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 14 on the side of the scissor-type connecting rod unit close to the handlebar connecting member 2, and the ceiling cloth 32 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 14 on the side of the scissor-type connecting rod unit away from the handlebar connecting member 2. Specifically, the front cloth 31 is made of a transparent material; the ceiling cloth 32 is made of a sunscreen material. It can be understood that the front cloth 31 made of a transparent TPU material can shield the wind and rain without blocking the field of vision, and the ceiling cloth 32 made of a black plastic material can effectively prevent rain and sun.
[0035] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:
[0036] To open the awning, you only need to apply an upward force to any point of the scissor-type connecting rod units on both sides, and the awning will open upward and backward as a whole until it opens to a certain position. Due to the length limit of the awning cloth, the scissor-type connecting rod units will no longer continue to unfold. At this time, the awning is in a fully opened state and can be easily opened;
[0037] When the electric vehicle is running: the folding frame 1 and the awning cloth 3 are tightened under the action of wind;
[0038] When folding, just hold the hinge point of the scissors on both sides close to the rider and gently pull backwards. The canopy will fold downward and forward as a whole until the scissor-link unit is completely folded back to the handlebar connection, completing the folding and storage.
[0039] The above is only an embodiment of the utility model. The common sense such as the known specific structure and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field are aware of all the common technical knowledge in the technical field of the utility model before the application date or priority date, can obtain all the existing technologies in the field, and have the ability to apply the conventional experimental means before that date. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field can improve and implement the scheme in combination with their own abilities under the enlightenment given by this application. Some typical known structures or known methods should not become obstacles for ordinary technicians in the relevant field to implement this application. It should be pointed out that for the technicians in this field, without departing from the structure of the utility model, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
