A locking mechanism for locking and releasing the rear wheel axle 2 6 is provided on the rear axle seat 2. A limit assembly is provided on the main beam 1. The limit assembly has a limit state and a release state. The limit assembly switches between the limit state and the release state. When the limit assembly is in the limit state, it is located on the deflection path of the rear wheel swing arm 4. When the limit assembly is in the release state, it is separated from the deflection path of the rear wheel swing arm 4. The children's tricycle includes two use states. Use state one, such as Figure 5 As shown: the two rear wheel swing arms 4 are unfolded, and the two rear wheel swing arms 4 and the main beam 1 together present a Y shape. At this time, the rear wheel axle 2 6 is locked by the locking mechanism, and the rear wheel swing arms 4 are released by the limit assembly, and the wheel is connected to the rear wheel axle 1 5; the second use state, such as Figure 6 As shown: the two rear wheel swing arms 4 are attached to the main beam 1, and the two rear wheel swing arms 4 and the main beam 1 are in a straight line shape. At this time, the rear wheel axle 2 6 is released by the locking mechanism, and the rear wheel swing arms 4 are limited by the limiting assembly. The wheels are connected to the rear wheel axle 2 6. The children's tricycle can be in the use state ( Figure 5 ) and use status 2 ( Figure 6 ), when the children's tricycle is changed from use state one to use state two, first remove the wheel from the rear wheel axle one 5, then release the lock of the locking mechanism on the rear wheel axle two 6, then adjust the limit assembly to the release state, when the rear wheel swing arm 4 is completely in contact with the main beam 1, adjust the limit assembly to the limit state, and finally install the wheel on the rear wheel axle two 6, so that the children's tricycle can be changed from use state one to use state two. Similarly, when the children's tricycle is changed from use state two to use state one, the reverse operation can be performed. The present children's tricycle has two use states, use state one is the tricycle state, and use state two is the balance car state, which can provide more diverse choices and make it more widely applicable.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the locking mechanism includes a locking groove and a locking pin 8 that can be used to cover the opening of the locking groove and an unlocking button 7. The locking pin 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the locking groove. The locking pin 8 exists in state one and state two. The locking pin 8 maintains state one in the natural state. After the unlocking button 7 is triggered, the locking pin 8 is in state two. When the locking pin 8 is in state one, it is located on the deflection path of the rear wheel axle 2 6. When the locking pin 8 is in the released state, it is separated from the deflection path of the rear wheel axle 2 6. The unlocking button 7 and the locking pin 8 are fixedly connected and the unlocking button 7 and the locking pin 8 have the same movement direction and movement stroke. The locking mechanism also includes an elastic member, an elastic member The component is used to keep the locking pin 8 covering the opening of the locking groove in a natural state. In state one, the unlocking button 7 is not pressed, and the rear wheel axle 2 6 in the locking groove will be blocked by the locking pin 8, thereby keeping the rear wheel axle 2 6 in the locking groove, that is, maintaining the position of the rear wheel swing arm 4. By pressing the unlocking button 7, the unlocking button 7 will link the locking pin 8 to move, and the rear wheel axle 2 6 will lose the obstruction of the locking pin 8 and can rotate out of the locking groove, that is, the rear wheel swing arm 4 is not locked by the locking mechanism and can rotate freely. Release the unlocking button 7, and the unlocking button 7 will return to its original state under the action of the elastic component, that is, the locking mechanism automatically changes to state one.

[0028] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component is a sliding sleeve 9 slidably connected to the main beam 1. When the sliding sleeve 9 is in a limited state, the sliding sleeve 9 is simultaneously sleeved on the outer sides of the main beam 1 and the rear wheel swing arm 4. When the sliding sleeve 9 is in a released state, the sliding sleeve 9 is only sleeved on the outer side of the main beam 1. The sliding sleeve 9 is simultaneously sleeved on the outer sides of the main beam 1 and the rear wheel swing arm 4, which can block the rear wheel swing arm 4 and prevent the rear wheel swing arm 4 from rotating. The sliding sleeve 9 is only sleeved on the outer side of the main beam 1, so it naturally does not block the rotation of the rear wheel swing arm 4.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a gap is provided between the inner bottom surface of the sliding sleeve 9 and the bottom surface of the main beam 1, and a seat adjustment component is provided in the gap. The seat adjustment component includes a rotating knob 10, and the middle part of the rotating knob 10 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve 9. One end of the rotating knob 10 is a pressing end 11, and the other end is a snap-in end 12. A plurality of adjustment holes 13 matching the snap-in ends 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the main beam 1, and the adjustment holes 13 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the main beam 1. The snap-in ends 12 and the sliding sleeve 9 are provided with springs for keeping the snap-in ends 12 snapped into the adjustment holes 13 in a natural state. When the pressing end 11 is pressed, the snap-in end 12 will also rotate accordingly and finally leave the adjustment hole 13. At this time, the sliding sleeve 9 can slide freely. After adjusting the position, release the rotating knob 10. Under the action of the spring, the snap-in end 12 can be snapped into the adjustment hole 13, and the sliding sleeve 9 is fixed again, thereby realizing the sliding and fixation of the sliding sleeve 9.

[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a vehicle seat connecting seat is arranged on the top surface of the sliding sleeve 9, and the vehicle seat connecting seat comprises a connecting tube 14, to which the vehicle seat is detachably connected, and the vehicle seat can be removed for more convenient storage and transportation.

[0031] The main beam 1 has an I-shaped cross-section. The I-shaped main beam 1 has better compressive resistance and can also reduce the weight of the main beam 1. Receiving grooves 16 are naturally formed on both sides of the main beam 1 with an I-shaped cross-section. The receiving grooves 16 match the rear wheel swing arm 4. When the rear wheel swing arm 4 is in a state of fitting the main beam 1, the rear wheel swing arm 4 is embedded in the receiving groove 16. When the rear wheel swing arm 4 is in a state of fitting the main beam 1, it has a smaller usage volume and is more flexible.

[0032] A magnet 15 matching the wheel axle 1 is provided on the main beam 1. The magnet 15 is used to attract the wheel axle 1 when the rear wheel swing arm 4 is in a state of being in contact with the main beam 1. When the rear wheel swing arm 4 is rotated to make it in contact with the main beam 1, the magnet 15 can attract the wheel axle 1. The magnet 15 can simply fix the wheel axle 1 to prevent it from rotating, making it convenient to use the limiting component to limit the rear wheel swing arm 4 later.

[0033] The front wheel assembly includes a front fork detachably connected to the main beam 1. The main beam 1 and the front fork can be connected by screws. The front fork includes a connecting port that matches the main beam 1. During transportation and storage, the front fork can be removed from the main beam 1 to reduce the storage volume and facilitate storage.

[0034] A rotating shaft is arranged in the rear axle seat 2, and the two rear wheel swing arms 4 are rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. The top of the rotating shaft extends to the upper surface of the rear axle seat 2, and a connecting hole is opened on the top surface of the rotating shaft. The connecting hole can be threadedly connected to expansion modules such as a truck bed and a cart push rod, and has good expandability.

[0035] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
