[0046] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings, and the contents mentioned in the implementation modes are not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0047] The present invention provides a scooter with a folding structure, wherein the footrest body 100 can be folded upwards, and at the same time, the front frame 200 and the footrest body 100 can be folded downwards. After the scooter is folded three times, the volume of the scooter is reduced for easy storage. Fig. 9 As shown, at the same time, after the scooter is folded, the two wheels 201 can be located on the same side. During storage, the wheels 201 can be concentrated on one side to avoid contamination of a large area of ​​the storage device.

[0048] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a scooter with a folding structure, comprising a pedal body 100, a front frame 200 and wheels 201 rotatably connected to the pedal body 100 and the front frame 200, wherein the pedal body 100 comprises two foldable plates 110, a first flip mechanism 120 is arranged between the corresponding end surfaces of the two plates 110, the first flip mechanism 120 comprises a first connecting member 121 and a second connecting member 122 hinged to each other, the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122 are respectively fixedly arranged on the corresponding end surfaces of the two plates 110, and the opposite end surfaces of the two plates 110 constitute abutment surfaces 111 that abut and press each other when the pedal body 100 is in a flat state; a second flip mechanism 210 is arranged on the front frame 200, one end of the second flip mechanism 210 is rotatably connected to the front frame 200 along the axis of the front frame 200, and the other end is rotatably connected to the pedal body 100 in the same flipping direction as the first flip mechanism 120.

[0049] In this embodiment, if Figure 7-8 As shown, the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122 are respectively fixedly arranged at the lower edges of the two abutting surfaces 111, and the first connecting member 121 includes two opposite fixing members 1211, and a rotating shaft 1212 is arranged between the two fixing members 1211; the second connecting member 122 includes a rotating member 1221 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 1212.

[0050] When the scooter is folded, the two plates 110 are flipped along the first flipping mechanism 120. When the pedal body 100 is folded, since the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122 are hinged to each other and are arranged at the lower edge of the end surfaces of the two plates 110, the two plates 110 can be folded downward. That is to say, during the folding process, the first flipping mechanism 120 moves in the direction, and the two ends of the pedal are close to each other, thereby completing the folding of the pedal. At the same time, the front frame 200 is folded along the second flipping mechanism 210 toward the pedal body 100, thereby completing the folding action of the scooter. Fig. 9As shown, the scooter is folded three times along the first flip mechanism 120 and the second flip mechanism 210, so that the scooter can be stored conveniently. Moreover, after folding, the two wheels 201 of the scooter are located in the same direction. When the scooter is stored, the wheels 201 of the scooter can be located in one direction of the storage device, so as to avoid causing large-area pollution to the storage device. When the scooter is opened from the folded state to the flat state, the two plates 110 are flipped along the first flip mechanism 120, so that the contact surfaces 111 of the two plates 110 contact and press each other. Therefore, when the user stands on the scooter, the two contact surfaces 111 are mutually pressed against each other, which can improve the load-bearing capacity of the footrest body 100 and protect the first flip mechanism 120 from being circulated under the action of the user's gravity. The front frame 200 is flipped along the second flipping mechanism 210 to be in a vertical state, which is convenient for the user to hold the front frame 200 to use the scooter. At the same time, the front frame 200 is axially rotated along the second flipping mechanism 210 to achieve steering when driving the scooter.

[0051] In order to enable the first flip mechanism 120 to be in an open state when the footrest body 100 is in a flat state, the rotating member 1221 will not rotate along the rotating shaft 1212, thereby ensuring the safety performance of the scooter during use, a structure for locking the rotating member 1221 is provided on the first flip mechanism 120. After the locking state is formed, the two plates 110 cannot be folded, thereby ensuring the safe driving of the scooter. After leaving the locking state, the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122 can rotate with each other, so that the two plates 110 can be folded.

[0052] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the locking structure includes a latch 123, a second elastic member 227, and an insertion port 125 provided on the rotating member 1221. The latch 123 is slidably connected to the fixed member 1211 along the axis direction of the rotating shaft 1212; the first elastic member 124 abuts against one end of the latch 123 away from the rotating member 1221 to provide an elastic force toward the rotating member 1221; the insertion port 125 is provided on the rotating member 1221 corresponding to the latch 123 for insertion of the latch 123;

[0053] During the installation process, a blind hole 1213 is opened on the fixing member 1211, and the first elastic member 124 is installed in the blind hole 1213. Then the latch 123 is also installed in the blind hole 1213 and compresses the first elastic member 124 to generate elastic force. When the two plates 110 are turned over and laid flat, the latch 123 moves toward the fixing member 1211 under the elastic force of the first elastic member 124 and is inserted into the plug-in port 125. At this time, the fixing member 1211 and the rotating member 1221 are connected by the latch 123, and the rotating member 1221 is restricted from rotating along the rotating shaft 1212. The latch 123 is inserted into the plug-in port 125 to form a locked state.

[0054] It is ensured that the pedal body 100 will not fold during the driving of the scooter. When the first pedal body 100 needs to be folded, the driving latch 123 needs to be moved toward the fixing member 1211 so that the latch 123 overcomes the elastic force of the first elastic member 124 and disengages in the plug-in port 125, so that the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122 can be folded along the rotating shaft 1212, so that the two plates 110 can be folded. After the two plates 110 are turned over and folded, the end of the latch 123 is pushed by the first elastic member 124 to contact the end of the rotating member 1221. In order to facilitate the driving of the latch 123, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, a toggle block 1231 is formed on the surface of the latch 123 , and the toggle block 1231 is pushed to drive the latch 123 to move in a straight line, so that the latch 123 can be quickly and conveniently toggled.

[0055] The front frame 200 is used for steering when driving the scooter. Figure 3-6 As shown, the front frame 200 includes a steering rod 202, the steering rod 202 must be formed with a handlebar 203, and the other end is provided with a front fork 204, and the front fork 204 is rotatably connected to the wheel 201; wherein the second flip mechanism 210 is sleeved on the steering rod 202, and the second flip mechanism 210 includes a sleeve 211 and a connecting arm 212, and the sleeve 211 is rotatably connected to the steering rod 202; one end of the connecting arm 212 is formed on the side wall of the sleeve 211, and the other end is rotatably connected to the plate body 110. Similarly, in order to ensure that the front frame 200 will not be folded when driving the scooter, a locking structure is provided on the second flip mechanism 210, which can lock the front frame 200 to avoid folding and causing safety hazards.

[0056] like Figure 3-6As shown, the locking structure includes a linkage member 221, a linkage slot 225 provided on the connecting arm 212, a locking member and a second elastic member 227, wherein the linkage member 221 is fixedly mounted on the plate body 110, the connecting arm 212 is rotatably connected to the linkage member 221, a limited slot 222 is provided on the linkage member 221, and the limited slot 222 includes a guide portion 223 and a limiting portion 224 located at both ends of the guide portion 223, the guide portion 223 is set to the same arc shape as the turning trajectory of the connecting arm 212, and one end of the limiting portion 224 is formed to be aligned with the guide portion 223. The second elastic member 227 has one end connected to the connecting arm 212 and the other end connected to the locking rod 226, so as to provide an elastic pulling force toward the center of the guide portion 223, so that the locking rod 226 is located at one end of the limiting portion 224 toward the center under the action of the elastic pulling force.

[0057] When the front frame 200 is locked, the locking rod 226 is pulled by the second elastic member 227 and is located at one end of the limiting portion 224 facing the center of the circle, thereby preventing the connecting arm 212 from rotating under the restriction of the limiting portion 224, thereby preventing the front frame 200 from flipping over. Similarly, when the locking member is driven to overcome the elastic force of the second elastic member 227 and move toward the guide portion 223, the locking member is within the guide portion 223. At this time, the locking member can slide within the guide portion 223 to limit the position, so that the front frame 200 can be flipped over. After the front frame 200 is flipped to a predetermined position, it can be imagined that at this time, the locking rod 226 moves to the other end of the guide portion 223, and under the pulling of the second elastic member 227, the locking member enters another limiting portion 224 again to lock the state of the front frame 200 at this time.

[0058] In order to more conveniently drive the locking rod 226 so that the locking rod 226 can overcome the effect of the second elastic member 227 and move toward the guide portion 223, a pulling rod 228 is further provided on the connecting arm 212. Figure 4-6 As shown, the middle section of the pulling rod 228 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 212, one end of which is connected to the locking rod 226, and the other end extends toward the outside of the connecting arm 212 to form a stepping end 2281. When the stepping end 2281 is stepped on, the locking rod 226 is pulled away by the lever, so that the locking rod 226 overcomes the elastic pulling force and moves along the linkage slide groove 225 and the limiting portion 224 toward the guide portion 223, thereby enabling the front frame 200 to flip over and achieve a folding or opening action.

[0059] like Fig. 9 As shown, a lifting member 1111 is provided on any one of the abutting surfaces 111, one end of the lifting member 1111 is rotatably connected to the abutting surface 111, and the lifting member 1111 can rotate along the rotation axis 1212 toward or away from the abutting surface 111. After the plate body 110 is folded along the first flipping mechanism 120, the plate body 110 is pulled upward by the lifting member 1111, so that the two plate bodies 110 can be brought closer to each other to complete the folding under the action of gravity. After folding, the scooter can be lifted by the lifting member 1111.

[0060] The scooter can be an electric scooter, and an installation compartment 112 for installing a power supply device is provided on at least one plate body 110, and a driving device electrically connected to the power supply device and transmission-connected to any one of the wheels 201 is fixedly installed, so as to electrically drive the wheels 201 to roll. The driving experience of the scooter is improved, and by installing the battery in the installation compartment 112, the weight and strength of the pedal body 100 can be increased, and the stability and load-bearing capacity during driving can be increased.

[0061] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention is disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with the profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of equivalent changes by using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
