DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable elderly scooter, including a base 1 and a driving assembly 2, the driving assembly 2 is installed and fixed on the rear end surface of the base 1, the driving assembly 2 includes structures such as a battery, a controller and a motor, and the output end of the driving assembly 2 passes through the bottom of the base 1, and a driving rear wheel 12 is installed on the output end of the driving assembly 2, and the driving rear wheel 12 is placed below the rear end of the base 1, and a rotating front wheel 11 is installed below the front end of the base 1. When the driving assembly 2 drives the driving rear wheel 12 to rotate, the base 1 can be driven to move under the rotation of the rotating front wheel 11 and the rotating front wheel 11.

[0020] The rotating column of the rotating front wheel 11 can be rotatably passed through the top of the base 1, and the top of the rotating column is connected to the telescopic support rod 4 through a rotating member 7, and a handlebar 6 is fixed on the top thereof. A brake handle and a throttle handle are installed on the handlebar 6, which is connected to the drive assembly 2 through wires, so that the driving and braking control of the drive assembly 2 can be realized. The handlebar 6 drives the rotating column to rotate the rotating assembly, drives the rotating front wheel 11 to rotate, and drives the scooter to turn.

[0021] The top of the driving assembly 2 is provided with a slot 21, and a support plate 3 is inserted into the slot 21. The telescopic support rod 4 is connected to the middle position of the support plate 3 through a rotating member 7. The surfaces of the support plates 3 on both sides of the rotating member 7 are provided with screw grooves 31. The surface of the driving assembly 2 just above the screw groove 31 is provided with a through hole connected to the inside of the slot 21. The locking bolt 8 is passed through the slot 21 through the through hole and screwed into the screw groove 31 to lock the support plate 3 in the slot 21. The surface of the driving assembly 2 above the slot 21 is provided with a through hole 211 connected to the slot 21, so that the rotating member 7 and the telescopic support rod 4 pass through the through hole 211. A seat 5 is fixed on the top of the telescopic support rod 4 on the support plate 3. When the elderly use it, they sit on the top of the seat 5 and operate it. After the locking bolt 8 is unscrewed, the support plate 3 can be pulled out of the slot 21 and supported on the ground, so as to achieve stable support for the seat 5, which is convenient for the elderly to sit down and rest stably and safely.

[0022] The rotating member 7 includes two side plates 71 and a rotating shaft 72. The bottom of the telescopic support rod 4 is rotatably connected between the two side plates 71 through the rotating shaft 72. A screw block 711 is fixed to the upper surface of the right side plate 71. A connecting bolt 73 penetrates from the left side plate 71 to the right and between the telescopic support rod 4 and the right side plate 71. A horizontally penetrating socket 41 is opened on the surface of the telescopic support rod 4 at the connecting bolt 73. The connecting bolt 73 penetrates the bottom of the telescopic support rod 4 through the socket 41. The outer ring of the end of the connecting bolt 73 and the screw block 711 are fixed to the upper surface of the right side plate 71. The inner circle of the block 711 is provided with a thread, and the end of the connecting bolt 73 is screwed through the thread and penetrates the screw block 711, and the right end of the connecting bolt 73 is screwed through the thread and penetrates the screw block 711, so that the rotating member 7 can keep the telescopic support rod 4 vertically fixed, and the telescopic support rod 4 can adjust the height to change the height of the handlebar 6 and the seat 5. After the connecting bolt 73 is unscrewed and pulled out, the lock of the rotating member 7 can be released, and the telescopic support rod 4 can be rotated to drive the handlebar 6 and the seat 5 to turn down and fold, which is convenient for carrying and use.

[0023] When in use, the handlebar 6 and the telescopic support rod 4 under the seat 5 can both be changed in length and locked by the bolts on their sides, so that the height of the handlebar 6 or the seat 5 can be changed to adapt to people of different heights. The throttle handle and brake installed on the handlebar 6 are used to control the driving assembly 2, drive the rear wheel 12 to rotate to drive the vehicle, or brake, and the handlebar 6 drives the rotating column and the rotating assembly of the rotating front wheel 11 to rotate through the telescopic support rod 4, so as to achieve the purpose of controlling the steering by rotating the front wheel 11; when the elderly are driven to the required position and need to sit up to rest, the locking bolt 8 can be rotated to screw its end out of the screw groove 31 to release the lock of the support plate 3, and the support plate 3 can be pulled out of the slot 21 toward the rear end so that the support plate 3 can be placed on it The telescopic support rod 4 and the seat 5 are stably supported and placed above the ground, and then the elderly sit on the seat 5 to obtain a stable and safe sitting effect. After use, the support plate 3 is inserted into the slot 21 from the side, and the telescopic support rod 4 is passed upward through the through-hole 211, and the seat 5 is installed again in the upper position of the drive assembly 2 for use; when the vehicle is used and needs to be folded and carried, the connecting bolt 73 of the rotating member 7 can be rotated to screw it out of the screw block 711 and withdrawn from the socket 41, and the locking of the rotating member 7 is released, so that the telescopic support rod 4 can be rotated around the rotating shaft 72, so that the front and rear telescopic support rods 4 are folded down, and the handlebars 6 and the seat 5 are rotated and lowered at the same time to fold them, and they can be placed in the trunk of the car for easy carrying.
