[0053] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, the folding assembly of the embodiment of the utility model includes a first component 1, a second component 2, an axle body 3, an eccentric member 4, a locking member 5 and a driving member 6.

[0055] The first component 1 and the second component 2 are rotated and assembled so that the folding assembly has a folded state and an unfolded state. Figure 1 As shown, the first component 1 and the second component 2 are independent components, and the first component 1 can be assembled with the second component 2 by rotating the rotating shaft 11. When in use, the folding assembly can be switched to the folding state and the unfolding state respectively by driving the first component 1 to rotate relative to the second component 2. Specifically, the unfolding state can be Figure 2 The folding assembly shown in the figure can be Figure 8 The shape of the folded assembly shown in .

[0056] The shaft body 3 is rotatably mounted on the first component 1, the eccentric member 4 is non-rotatably mounted on the outer peripheral side of the shaft body 3, and the shaft body 3 and the eccentric member 4 are eccentrically arranged. For example, the shaft body 3 can be a D-shaped shaft, that is, the cross-sectional shape of the shaft body 3 can be D-shaped, the shaft body 3 can be rotatably mounted on the first component 1, and the shaft body 3 can extend in the left and right direction. For example, a circular mounting hole can be provided on the first component 1, and the shaft body 3 can be mounted in the mounting hole of the first component 1 and can rotate freely in the mounting hole.

[0057] The eccentric member 4 may be in the shape of an oblate cylinder as a whole, and a D-shaped hole may be provided inside the eccentric member 4 . The shaft body 3 may be plugged and assembled in the eccentric member 4 , thereby realizing the anti-rotation assembly of the eccentric member 4 and the shaft body 3 .

[0058] It should be noted that the axis of the shaft body 3 and the axis of the eccentric piece 4 are eccentrically arranged, that is, the axis of the shaft body 3 and the axis of the eccentric piece 4 are located on different straight lines. When the shaft body 3 rotates, the axis of the eccentric piece 4 will revolve around the axis of the shaft body 3.

[0059] The locking member 5 is rotatably assembled on the outer peripheral side of the eccentric member 4 and has a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the locking member 5 locks the second component 2 in a non-folded state. In the unlocking position, the locking member 5 releases the lock on the second component 2 so that the folding assembly can be switched to a folded state.

[0060] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the locking member 5 can be a pull ring structure as a whole, that is, the locking member 5 includes an annular portion and a rod portion, wherein the annular portion can be annular, and the rod portion can be straight. During assembly, the annular portion can be directly sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the eccentric member 4 and can be coaxially arranged with the axis of the eccentric member 4.

[0061] When the shaft body 3 rotates, since the axis of the eccentric member 4 revolves around the axis of the shaft body 3, the locking member 5 will translate along with the axis of the eccentric member 4. Secondly, since the locking member 5 is rotatably mounted on the outer peripheral side of the eccentric member 4, the locking member 5 can also rotate relative to the eccentric member 4. The locking member 5 can be switched to the locked position and the unlocked position respectively by superimposing the translation and rotation of the locking member 5.

[0062] Specifically, when switched to the locked position, the rod can be hooked, snapped, etc. with the second component 2, and the first component 1 and the second component 2 can be locked by the limited position cooperation between the rod and the second component 2, so that the folding assembly can be kept in the unfolded state. When switched to the unlocked position, the locking member 5 can release the hooking, snapping, etc. cooperation with the second component 2, so that the first component 1 can rotate relative to the second component 2 around the above-mentioned rotating shaft 11, so that the folding assembly can be switched to the folded state.

[0063] The driving member 6 is anti-rotationally assembled on the outer peripheral side of the shaft body 3. The driving member 6 is used to drive the shaft body 3 and the eccentric member to rotate to drive the locking member 5 to translate, and to drive the locking member 5 to rotate relative to the eccentric member 4 to switch the locking member 5 to the unlocking position.

[0064] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the driving member 6 can be arranged in a split form, that is, the driving member 6 as a whole can be assembled from several independent parts. In some other embodiments, the driving member 6 can also be an integrated structure, that is, the driving member 6 can be only one component.

[0065] The driving member 6 may be provided with a D-shaped hole matching the cross section of the shaft body 3. During assembly, the shaft body 3 may be directly plugged into the D-shaped hole of the driving member 6, thereby realizing the anti-rotation assembly of the driving member 6 and the shaft body 3. During use, the driving member 6 may drive the shaft body 3 and the eccentric member 4 to rotate, thereby realizing the translational drive of the locking member 5, and the driving member 6 may also drive the locking member 5 to rotate relative to the eccentric member 4, thereby realizing the rotational drive of the locking member 5. The setting of the driving member 6 facilitates the switching of the locking member 5 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0066] It should be noted that the driving member 6 also has the function of resetting the locking member 5 to the locked position. Specifically, the driving member 6 can switch the locking member 5 from the locked position to the unlocked position by forward rotation. When the locking member 5 needs to be switched to the locked position, the driving member 6 can drive the shaft 3 to rotate in the reverse direction. During this process, the locking member 5 will fit closer to the second component 2, thereby eliminating the gap.

[0067] In the folding assembly of the embodiment of the utility model, the locking member 5 can realize both translational movement and rotational movement. During the process of switching the locking member 5 to the locking position, the translational movement of the locking member 5 can make the locking member 5 fit more closely to the second component 2, that is, the eccentric member 4 can play the role of a cam and can fully press the locking member 5 toward the second component 2, thereby ensuring the locking effect of the locking member 5 on the second component 2, ensuring the compactness of the assembly structure, avoiding the large assembly gap in the prior art, and further avoiding the easy shaking of the vehicle due to the large assembly gap, thereby improving the user experience.

[0068] In some embodiments, the folding assembly includes a first elastic member 7, which is connected between the locking member 5 and the first component 1. The first elastic member 7 is used to apply an elastic force to the locking member 5 so that the locking member 5 has a tendency to return to the locked position and can be maintained in the locked position.

[0069] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first elastic member 7 may be a tension spring, a first shaft 71 may be fixed in the first component 1, and the first shaft 71 may be the rear side of the locking member 5. The front end of the first elastic member 7 may be connected to the locking member 5, and the rear end of the first elastic member 7 may be connected to the first shaft 71.

[0070] When the locking member 5 needs to be switched to the unlocking position, the driving member 6 can drive the locking member 5 to swing forward and upward and complete the unlocking, and the first elastic member 7 can always apply a pulling force toward the rear to the locking member 5, so that when the locking member 5 is in the locking position, the locking member 5 can be kept in the locking position, thereby ensuring the stability of the locking.

[0071] In some embodiments, the process of the driving member 6 switching the locking member 5 to the unlocking position includes a first stroke and a second stroke, and the first stroke precedes the second stroke. That is, in the process of the driving member 6 driving the locking member 5 to release the lock of the second component 2, the first stroke will be performed first, and then the second stroke. Complete unlocking can only be achieved after both strokes are completed.

[0072] In the first stroke, the driving member 6 drives the shaft body 3 and the eccentric member 4 to rotate, and the locking member 5 translates along the axis of the eccentric member 4 to release the locking of the locking member 5 and the second component 2 .

[0073] Specifically, during the first stroke, the driving member 6 only drives the shaft body 3 to rotate, thereby driving the eccentric member 4 to rotate around the axis of the shaft body 3. Since the axis of the eccentric member 4 is displaced, the locking member 5 moves synchronously with the axis of the eccentric member 4. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the process, the locking member 5 as a whole can move in the forward and downward direction, thereby enabling the locking member 5 to be separated from the second component 2, achieving pre-unlocking, thereby providing conditions for the subsequent second stroke.

[0074] It should be noted that the driving member 6 also has the function of resetting the locking member 5, that is, when the driving member 6 is reset to the initial position, the first stroke will be reversed. During this process, the locking member 5 will move closer to the second component 2, thereby reducing the gap between the locking member 5 and the second component 2, thereby ensuring the compactness of the assembly structure.

[0075] In the second stroke, the driving member 6 drives the locking member 5 to rotate relative to the eccentric member 4 to release the locking between the locking member 5 and the second component 2 .

[0076] Specifically, when the second stroke is performed, the driving member 6 drives the shaft body 3 to continue to rotate, and also drives the locking member 5 to rotate relative to the eccentric member 4. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 5 will swing forward and upward, thereby completely releasing the lock between the locking member 5 and the second component 2. After releasing, the first component 1 can rotate around the above-mentioned rotating shaft 11 relative to the second component 2, thereby switching the folding assembly to a folded state.

[0077] It should be noted that the design of the above-mentioned first stroke is mainly to move the locking member 5 closer to the second component 2, that is, under the action of the eccentric member 4, the initially locked locking member 5 can be more closely attached to the second component 2, thereby reducing the assembly gap, ensuring the compactness of the assembly structure, and avoiding shaking.

[0078] In some embodiments, a first stop portion 53 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the locking member 5, and a second stop portion 64 is provided on the driving member 6. In a first stroke, the first stop portion 53 and the second stop portion 64 are separated. In a second stroke, the first stop portion 53 and the second stop portion 64 are in contact so that the driving member 6 drives the locking member 5 to rotate relative to the eccentric member 4.

[0079] For example, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the first stopper 53 can be integrally formed on the outer peripheral side of the locking member 5, and the first stopper 53 can be regarded as a protrusion on the peripheral side of the annular portion of the locking member 5. The driving member 6 can be located on the outer peripheral side of the annular portion of the locking member 5, and the second stopper 64 can be integrally formed on the inner peripheral side of the driving member 6, and the second stopper 64 can be regarded as a protrusion on the driving member 6.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, during the first stroke, the driving member 6 can drive the shaft 3 and the eccentric member 4 to rotate, but in this process, the first stop portion 53 and the second stop portion 64 are not in contact, so that the driving member 6 will not drive the locking member 5, and the locking member 5 only undergoes a translational movement to separate from the second component 2.

[0081] After the first stroke is completed, the first stopper 53 and the second stopper 64 will contact each other. Figure 6 As shown, under the action of the driving member 6, the locking member 5 can continue to move in the second stroke. In this stroke, due to the stopping effect of the first stop portion 53 and the second stop portion 64, the driving member 6 that continues to rotate can continue to drive the shaft body 3 to rotate while also driving the locking member 5 to rotate, thereby completely unlocking the locking member 5 from the locked position.

[0082] In some embodiments, the locking member 5 includes a member body 51 and a stop member 52. The member body 51 is rotatably assembled on the outer peripheral side of the eccentric member 4. The second component 2 is provided with a locking groove 211. In the locked position, the member body 51 is engaged in the locking groove 211. The stop member 52 is provided on the member body 51, and in the locked position, part of the second component 2 is clamped between the stop member 52 and the first component 1.

[0083] For example, Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the member body 51 may include the above-mentioned annular portion and a rod portion, wherein the annular portion may be integrally formed at one end of the rod portion, and the stopper 52 may be fixed at the other end of the rod portion. Specifically, the stopper 52 may be integrally formed with the rod portion, or may be detachably assembled with the rod portion. Figure 1 As shown, the locking groove 211 may be a U-shaped groove, the locking groove 211 may be provided on the bottom side of the second component 2, and the notch of the locking groove 211 may be arranged toward the front and upper side.

[0084] When the locking member 5 is switched to the locking position, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the rod portion of the component body 51 can be transversely embedded in the locking groove 211, and a portion of the second component 2 can be clamped between the stopper 52 and the first component 1, thereby fully meeting the need to lock and fix the second component 2.

[0085] In some embodiments, the position of the stopper 52 relative to the member body 51 is adjustable so that the pressure applied by the stopper 52 to the second member 2 is adjustable. For example, the stopper 52 may be a nut, etc. When in use, the position of the stopper 52 relative to the member body 51 may be adjusted by rotating the stopper 52. Thus, when the locking member 5 is in the locked position, the stopper 52 may be moved toward the shaft body 3, so that the stopper 52 can apply greater pressure to the second member 2, thereby fully ensuring the fixing effect.

[0086] In some other embodiments, the stopper 52 may also be driven to move in a direction away from the shaft body 3 , thereby reducing the pressure exerted by the stopper 52 on the second component 2 .

[0087] In some embodiments, the second component 2 includes a pressure plate 21 and a frame 22, the first component 1 is rotatably assembled in the frame 22, the pressure plate 21 is disposed therebetween, and the locking groove 211 is disposed on the pressure plate 21. Figure 1 As shown, the frame 22 can be generally U-shaped and can be arranged obliquely from the front upper to the rear lower direction, the first component 1 can be located in the frame 22, and the above-mentioned rotary shaft 11 can pass through the frame 22 and the first component 1 at the same time. The pressing plate 21 can be generally a rectangular plate, and the pressing plate 21 can be welded and fixed to the bottom side of the top end of the frame 22. The locking groove 211 can be arranged at the front upper edge of the pressing plate 21. Therefore, when the locking member 5 swings backward, the rod of the locking member 5 can swing into the locking groove 211 by itself.

[0088] In some embodiments, the driving member 6 includes a connecting member 61 and a pressing member 62. The connecting member 61 is anti-rotationally assembled on the outer peripheral side of the shaft body 3. The connecting member 61 is used to directly drive the shaft body 3 to rotate around the axis of the shaft body 3 and drive the locking member 5 to rotate around the axis of the eccentric member 4.

[0089] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the connecting member 61 can be a triangular ear seat style, and the connecting member 61 can include two ear plates arranged opposite to each other in the left and right directions. Both ear plates can be provided with D-shaped holes adapted to the shape of the shaft body 3, and the shaft body 3 can pass through the D-shaped holes of the two ear plates and be assembled with the two ear plates to prevent rotation.

[0090] The first component 1 may be a hollow structure, and a rectangular opening may be provided on the first component 1, and the connecting member 61 may be assembled into the first component 1 from the opening. The connecting member 61 is specifically assembled with the connecting member 61 located inside the first component 1, and the annular portion of the locking member 5, the eccentric member 4, etc. may be assembled between the two ear plates of the connecting member 61.

[0091] The pressing member 62 is rotatably assembled on the connecting member 61 and has a pressing position and a retracted position. In the pressing position, the pressing member 62 is used to press to drive the connecting member 61 to rotate, and in the retracted position, the pressing member 62 is retracted.

[0092] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the pressing member 62 can be roughly in the shape of a rectangular plate. The pressing member 62 can be rotatably assembled on the connecting member 61 through a second axis 63. When in use, the pressing member 62 can rotate around the second axis 63, so that the pressing member 62 can switch back and forth between the pressing position and the retracted position.

[0093] like Figure 2 As shown, when the pressing member 62 is in the retracted position, the pressing member 62 can swing to the top of the first component 1 and fit with the upper surface of the first component 1. At this time, the pressing member 62 is in a hidden storage state, thereby reducing the space occupied by the pressing member 62.

[0094] When it is necessary to switch the pressing member 62 to the pressing position, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, the pressing member 62 can be swung backward, and when the corresponding part on the pressing member 62 contacts with the corresponding part on the connecting member 61 , the pressing member 62 is switched to the pressing position.

[0095] It should be noted that when the pressing member 62 is in the pressing position, the pressing member 62 can be pressed downward by stepping on it (the pressing member 62 can be regarded as a pedal at this time), pressing it with hands, etc. Figures 4 to 7 As shown, at this time, due to the blocking of the pressing member 62 and the connecting member 61, the pressing member 62 and the connecting member 61 can be regarded as a whole. The connecting member 61 can be driven to rotate by pressing the pressing member 62, thereby satisfying the need to switch the locking member 5 from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0096] In some embodiments, the driving member 6 includes a second elastic member 8, which is assembled between the pressing member 62 and the connecting member 61, and the second elastic member 8 is used to apply an elastic force to the pressing member 62 so that the pressing member 62 has a tendency to move toward the pressing position and remain in the pressing position.

[0097] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the second elastic member 8 may be a torsion spring, and the second elastic member 8 may be mounted on the outer peripheral side of the second shaft 63. One end of the second elastic member 8 may abut against or be connected to the pressing member 62, and the other end of the second elastic member 8 may abut against or be connected to the connecting member 61. Under normal conditions, the second elastic member 8 may always apply an elastic force to the pressing member 62 to swing backward, thereby enabling the pressing member 62 to automatically switch from the retracted position to the pressing position.

[0098] In some embodiments, the folding assembly includes a switch 9, which is assembled on the first component 1. The position of the switch 9 relative to the first component 1 is adjustable and has a fixed position and a released position. In the fixed position, the switch 9 blocks the pressing member 62 and limits the pressing member 62 to the folded position. In the released position, the switch 9 releases the limit on the pressing member 62.

[0099] For example, Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the switch 9 can be in the form of a hook, and the switch 9 can be rotatably mounted on the first component 1. During the rotation of the switch 9, the switch 9 can be switched to a fixed position and a released position respectively. Figure 2 As shown, when the folding assembly needs to be switched to the folded form, the switch 9 can be pushed forward. At this time, the switch 9 can release the block on the pressing member 62, and the pressing member 62 can be flipped backward under the action of the second elastic member 8, so that the pressing member 62 can be switched from the retracted position to the pressing position.

[0100] In some embodiments, the folding assembly includes a third elastic member 10, which is assembled between the switch 9 and the first component 1, and the third elastic member 10 is used to apply an elastic force to the switch 9 so that the switch 9 has a tendency to move toward a fixed position and remain in the fixed position.

[0101] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the third elastic member 10 can be a torsion spring, the switch 9 can be rotatably assembled on the first component 1 through the third shaft 91, the third elastic member 10 can be sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the third shaft 91, one end of the third elastic member 10 can be stopped or connected to the switch 9, and the other end of the third elastic member 10 can be stopped or connected to the first component 1.

[0102] Under normal conditions, the switch 9 can be kept in a fixed position under the action of the third elastic member 10, thereby meeting the need to lock the pressing member 62 in the retracted position.

[0103] The walking vehicle according to the embodiment of the present utility model is described below.

[0104] The walking vehicle of the embodiment of the utility model comprises a folding assembly, which can be a folding assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The walking vehicle can be a scooter, a bicycle, a balance vehicle or other walking vehicles.

[0105] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the scooter includes an inclined tube 100 and a bracket 200, wherein the inclined tube 100 is configured as the first component 1, and the bracket 200 is configured as the second component 2. The bracket 200 can be fixed on the frame of the scooter, and the inclined tube 100 can be connected to the stand pipe.

[0106] When riding is required, the folding assembly can be switched to a non-folding state, so that the scooter meets the needs of normal use. When storage is required, the folding assembly can be switched to a folding state, at which time, the riser can be flipped to the top of the frame, thereby meeting the storage needs.

[0107] It should be noted that, under normal conditions, the locking member 5 is in a relatively fixed position with the inclined tube 100 due to the pulling force of the first elastic member 7. When the scooter needs to be switched from the storage state to the riding state, the vertical tube can be directly flipped forward. After the above-mentioned stop member 52 contacts the pressure plate 21, due to the mutual compression of the corresponding guiding surfaces (inclined surfaces) of the locking member 5 and the pressure plate 21, the first elastic member 7 will be stretched by the force, and the locking member 5 will be flipped under the action of the first elastic member 7 and stuck into the locking groove 211 on the pressure plate 21.

[0108] After the locking member 5 is inserted into the locking groove 211, there will be a certain distance and a large gap between the locking member 5 and the pressure plate 21. Then the pressing member 62 can be stepped on and switched to the retracted position, that is, the driving member 6 is reset to the initial position. In this process, since the eccentric member 4 will rotate with the pressing member 62, under the action of the eccentric member 4, the locking member 5 will translate closer to the second member 2, that is, the locking member 5 will perform the reverse first stroke, thereby reducing the gap and improving the compactness of the assembly.

[0109] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are illustrative and cannot be construed as limitations on the present invention. Changes, modifications, substitutions and variations of the above embodiments by those of ordinary skill in the art are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
