[0002] A mobility scooter is also called a lazy bike. It refers to a means of transportation and auxiliary tools for the purpose of walking. In China, it can sometimes refer to cars, electric bicycles, electric scooters, two-wheeled automatic balancing scooters, and unicycles. Among them, in some specific occasions (scenic spots, factory areas, etc.), or for some groups (elderly people), some low-speed scooters are specially designed. When the user uses it, the user sits on the seat, then holds the handlebars with his hands and presses the control switch on the handlebars to achieve low-speed forward and backward movement of the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0040] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:
[0041] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a seat folding structure of a mobility scooter comprises a frame 1 and a seat 2, wherein two sides of the bottom of the seat 2 are respectively mounted on the frame 1 via a connecting mechanism;
[0042] The connecting mechanism includes a supporting top seat 3, a supporting base 4, a supporting front tube 5 and a supporting rear tube 6;
[0043] The support top seat 3 is installed on the bottom surface of the seat 2, the support base 4 is installed on the frame 1, the support rear tube 6 is arranged on the rear side of the support front tube 5, and the two ends of the support rear tube 6 and the support front tube 5 are rotatably connected to the support top seat 3 and the support base 4 respectively;
[0044] The support front tube 5 or the support rear tube 6 is provided with a limiting hole 7, and the support top seat 3 is provided with a limiting member 8 that matches the limiting hole 7; in this embodiment, the limiting hole is provided on the support front tube,
[0045] The seat 2 has a folding state and a use state. In the use state, the bottom of the seat 2 is arranged away from the frame 1, and the limiting member 8 is inserted into the limiting hole 7, and the limiting member 8 limits the rotation of the supporting front tube 5;
[0046] When the seat 2 is in the folded state, the limiting member 8 is disengaged from the limiting hole 7 , the limiting member 8 releases the rotation limit on the supporting front tube 5 , and the bottom of the seat 2 is arranged close to the frame 1 .
[0047] In this embodiment, the seat has two states, one is a folding state, and the other is a use state. In this embodiment, a limiting hole is set on the support front tube as an example. In the use state, the support front tube and the support rear tube are in a standing state, and there is a spacing between the support front tube and the support rear tube. The angle between the support front tube, the support rear tube and the frame can be close to 90°. Since the support front tube and the support rear tube are respectively rotatably connected with the support top seat and the support base, in the use state, since the limiting member is inserted into the limiting hole, when the support front tube wants to rotate relative to the support top seat, it will be blocked by the limiting member and the limiting hole, so that the support front tube cannot rotate relative to the support top seat. Since the support front tube cannot rotate relative to the support top seat, a support rear tube is also set on the rear side of the support front tube. The support rear tube is rotatably connected with the support top seat and the support base. The three are connected, so that the support front tube cannot rotate, thereby limiting the seat, so that the seat is in the use state.
[0048] When the seat needs to be converted to a folded state, the limiting members on both sides are pulled out from the limiting holes to release the rotation limit on the supporting front tube, so that the supporting front tube can be rotated relative to the supporting top seat, and the top of the supporting rear tube is also rotationally connected to the supporting top seat, and the supporting rear tube can also be rotated. The user gives the seat a thrust to move the seat downward. In this process, the seat is rotated toward the front and bottom through the limiting of the supporting front tube and the supporting rear tube, so that the bottom of the seat is set close to the top surface of the frame. When the front side surface of the supporting front tube is against the frame, the seat is in a folded state and is stored, which can effectively reduce space occupancy and reduce transportation costs. When the seat needs to be converted from a folded state to a use state, an upward pulling force is applied to the seat. Due to the connection between the support front tube and the support rear tube, the support front tube and the support rear tube can also support the seat. When the seat moves upward, it will rotate toward the upper and rear around the support base through the support front tube and the support rear tube. When the limiting hole is facing the limiting piece, the limiting piece is inserted into the limiting hole to achieve the rotation limit of the support front tube and the support rear tube. At this time, the seat is converted to the use state. In this way, the seat does not need to be assembled with the frame, and there will be no loss of parts, which reduces the difficulty of assembly. The seat is in a storable state, which is convenient and fast, and easy to store and use.
[0049] See also Figure 1 , 3 As shown in , 5, the rotation connection between the support front tube 5 and the support top seat 3 is arranged below the front end of the rotation connection between the support rear tube 6 and the support top seat 3;
[0050] The rotation connection between the support front tube 5 and the support base 4 is arranged below the front end of the rotation connection between the support rear tube 6 and the support base 4 .
[0051] When the seat is in use, there is a certain inclination angle between the front support tube and the rear support tube and the top surface of the frame in front of them, and the angle is slightly less than 90°. In this way, when the seat needs to be folded, there is a certain height difference between the top and bottom rotational connections of the front support tube and the rear support tube, which is convenient for folding the seat and for the top of the front support tube and the rear support tube to rotate forward. At the same time, there is a height difference between the rotational connections between the two, and after folding, there will be no interference between the front support tube and the rear support tube, ensuring the stability and quality of the seat in the folded state.
[0052] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the top and bottom of the supporting front tube 5 and the supporting rear tube 6 are rotatably connected to the supporting top seat 3 and the supporting base 4 via supporting fixing columns 9 respectively.
[0053] Among them, the supporting and fixing column supporting the top of the front tube is arranged below the front side of the supporting and fixing column supporting the top of the rear tube, and the supporting and fixing column supporting the bottom of the front tube is also arranged below the front side of the supporting and fixing column supporting the bottom of the rear tube.
[0054] Among them, the limiting hole is arranged on the side of the supporting fixing column supporting the top of the front tube, or the limiting hole is arranged on the side of the supporting fixing column supporting the top of the rear tube. In this embodiment, the limiting hole will be arranged above the supporting fixing column supporting the top of the front tube.
[0055] In the utility model, the limiting hole can be set on the supporting front tube or the supporting rear tube, and can be set beside the supporting fixing column on the top of the supporting front tube or the supporting rear tube. Two-point positioning can be performed, so that the limiting can be performed through the limiting piece and the limiting hole.
[0056] See also Figure 3 , 4 , 6 to 8, the limiting member 8 includes a limiting pin 10 and a reset member (the reset member is not shown in the figure), the support top seat 3 is provided with a mounting hole 11, the outer end of the limiting pin 10 is movably inserted into the mounting hole 11, and the reset member gives the limiting pin 10 a thrust or a pull force, so that the outer end of the limiting pin passes through the mounting hole and is inserted into the support top seat 3 (in the top U-shaped groove of the support top seat) or inserted into the limiting hole 7;
[0057] An inward pulling force is applied to the limiting pin 10 so that the outer end of the limiting pin 10 retracts into the mounting hole 11 .
[0058] In this embodiment, when no external force is applied to the limit pin, the reset member will give the limit pin an outward push or an outward pull, driving the limit member to move outward, so that the outer end of the limit pin passes through the mounting hole and is inserted into the limit hole (when the seat is in use). When the seat is folded, the limit member is first pulled out of the limit hole, and the limit pin releases the limit on the limit hole, and the seat can be folded. When the support front tube rotates relative to the support top seat, other positions of the support front tube will face the mounting hole, blocking the limit pin, so that the limit pin cannot move outward. When the seat needs to be rotated from the folded state to the use state, since the side wall of the support front tube abuts the limit pin, it is only necessary to unfold the seat, and since the limit pin is always pushed outward by the elastic member, when the limit hole is facing the limit pin, the resistance of the support front tube to limit the limit pin to move outward disappears, and the limit pin will be driven by the reset member to reset itself and be inserted into the limit hole, thereby realizing automatic limit after the seat is unfolded.
[0059] See also Figure 3 , 4 As shown in , 6 to 8, a flexible connector 12 is also provided, and the two ends of the flexible connector 12 are respectively connected to the inner ends of the limit pins 10 in the limit members 8 on both sides. When a pulling force is applied to the flexible connector, the end of the flexible connector applies a pulling force corresponding to the inner end of the limit pin inward, pulling the outer end of the limit pin back into the mounting hole. The flexible connector is a binding strap.
[0060] A flexible connecting piece, namely a strap, is used. When the seat needs to be switched from the use state to the folded state, the operator directly grasps the middle part of the strap and pulls it forward. This will simultaneously apply pulling force to the limit pins on both sides, pulling the limit pins on both sides to move inward, thereby causing both limit pins to disengage from the corresponding limit holes. This releases the rotation limit on the supporting front tube and the supporting rear tube, and the seat can be switched from the use state to the folded state.
[0061] See also Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the stopper also includes a hollow screw sleeve 15, a through hole is provided in the middle of the screw sleeve 15, and the outer surface of the screw sleeve 15 is screwed and connected to the mounting hole 11;
[0062] The limit pin 10 is movably inserted into the through hole, and the reset member is a reset spring 16, which is sleeved on the outside of the limit pin 10 and is arranged in the through hole;
[0063] One end of the return spring 16 abuts against the limiting pin 10 , and the other end of the return spring 16 abuts against the inner wall of the through hole.
[0064] In this embodiment, the mounting hole is a screw hole, the outer surface of the screw sleeve has an external thread, and the limit pin and the spring are directly arranged in the screw sleeve, so that when the limit piece needs to be installed, it can be directly screwed through the screw sleeve and the mounting hole to achieve the rapid installation of the limit piece and the support top seat, and it can also be directly and quickly disassembled during maintenance and disassembly, which is convenient and fast. Among them, the limit pin is directly inside the screw sleeve, and a reset spring is used to give the limit pin an outward thrust, so that the limit pin always has a restoring force to move outward. When the limit pin is facing the limit hole, the outer end of the limit pin will automatically insert into the limit hole to achieve limiting. At the same time, the screw sleeve is used, which is also convenient for adjusting the relative position between the screw sleeve and the support front pipe.
[0065] See also Fig. 9 As shown, the through hole includes a first hole 17 and a second hole 18 which are coaxially arranged, the diameter of the first hole 17 is smaller than the diameter of the second hole 18, the inner end of the first hole 17 is connected to the inner end surface of the screw sleeve 15, the outer end of the second hole 18 is connected to the outer end surface of the screw sleeve 15, and the outer end of the first hole 17 is connected to the inner end of the second hole 18;
[0066] The stop pin 10 includes a first pin 19 and a second pin 20 which are coaxially arranged and connected to each other. The first pin is arranged at the inner end of the second pin, and the two are an integral structure. The outer diameter of the second pin 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the first pin 19. The second pin 20 is movably inserted into the second hole 18. The inner end of the first pin 19 passes through the first hole 17 and is arranged outside the screw sleeve 15.
[0067] The return spring 16 is sleeved on the outer surface of the first pin 19 , one end of the return spring 16 abuts against the inner end surface of the second pin 20 , and the other end of the return spring 16 abuts against the inner end surface of the second hole 18 .
[0068] Among them, the reset spring will give the limit pin an outward thrust, and when the limit pin is not limited, the outer end of the second pin will pass through the second hole and leak out of the screw sleeve, that is, when the seat is in the unfolded limit state, the second pin will be inserted into the limit hole. When the seat needs to be folded, the limit pin is given an inward pulling force to pull the first pin and the second pin inward. During this process, the second pin moves inward and approaches the first hole, which will compress the reset spring until the second pin is completely retracted into the second hole, and then the second pin will be separated from the limit hole, so that the seat can be folded. When the seat is unfolded, the reset spring will continue to give the limit pin an outward thrust, so that the outer end of the second pin will be against the side wall of the support front tube. When the limit hole is facing the second pin, the reset spring will push the second pin outward, so that the second pin is inserted into the limit hole, thereby achieving the limit of the support front tube.
[0069] See also Figures 6 to 9 As shown, a connecting ring 21 is rotatably mounted on the inner end of the limit pin 10. The connecting ring 21 is arranged on the inner side of the screw sleeve 15. The outer diameter of the connecting ring 21 is larger than the diameter of the through hole. The outer diameter of the connecting ring is at least larger than the diameter of the first hole.
[0070] In this embodiment, the connection ring can limit the freedom of the limit pin to move outward, and the connection ring can also give the limit pin a pulling force to move inward, so that the limit pin can be separated from the limit hole. In addition, the second pin, the second hole and the return spring can limit the limit pin from moving inward and disengaging from the screw sleeve, and the connection ring can also limit the limit pin from moving inward and disengaging from the screw sleeve. In addition, the connection ring is also convenient for connecting the end of the flexible connector and the two limit pins.
[0071] See also Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the support top seat 3 is a U-shaped structure with an open bottom, and a top U-shaped groove 13 is provided at the bottom of the support top seat 3, and the tops of the support front tube 5 and the support rear tube 6 are inserted into the top U-shaped groove 13, and the tops of the support front tube 5 and the support rear tube 6 are rotatably connected to both sides of the top U-shaped groove 13 through support fixing columns 9 respectively;
[0072] The support base 4 is a U-shaped structure with an open top, and a bottom U-shaped groove 14 is provided on the top of the support base 4. The bottoms of the support front tube 5 and the support rear tube 6 are inserted into the bottom U-shaped groove 14, and the bottoms of the support front tube 5 and the support rear tube 6 are rotatably connected to the two sides of the bottom U-shaped groove 14 through support fixing columns 9 respectively.
[0073] The support top seat and the support base are both U-shaped structures, so that the ends of the support front tube and the support rear tube are inserted into the corresponding U-shaped grooves, and can be connected by rotating the support fixing column and the two sides of the U-shaped groove. The two side walls of the U-shaped groove are used to support the support fixing column, which has better support stability and can also prevent the support fixing column from deformation, thereby extending its service life, ensuring strength, and ensuring the stability and safety of the use of the mobility scooter.
