[0042] 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.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the pedal locking assembly of the embodiment of the utility model includes a frame 1, an unlocking member 2, a first locking member 3, a pedal 4 and a second locking member 5.

[0044] The frame 1 is provided with a mounting space for assembling a battery, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 can be formed by welding pipes, etc., the middle part of the frame 1 can be arranged horizontally, and the front part and the rear part of the frame 1 can both extend upward. The installation space can be provided at the middle part of the frame 1. The installation space can be a cavity provided in the frame 1, and the top of the installation space can be provided with an opening. When in use, the battery can be placed into the installation space from the opening at the top of the installation space.

[0045] The pedal 4 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 and has a locking position and an unlocking position. In the locking position, the pedal 4 seals the battery in the installation space. In the unlocking position, the pedal 4 releases the seal on the battery so that the battery can be taken out from the installation space.

[0046] For example, the pedal 4 can be in the shape of a flat plate, and the pedal 4 can be rotatably mounted on the frame 1 via a pivot or the like. When in use, the pedal 4 can be swung and adjusted around the pivot, and during the swinging process, the pedal 4 can be switched to a locked position or an unlocked position.

[0047] When the pedal 4 swings to the locking position, Figure 2As shown, at this time, the pedal 4 is substantially horizontal and buckled on top of the frame 1, and the top opening of the installation space can be blocked by the pedal 4, thereby achieving locking protection for the battery.

[0048] When the pedal 4 swings to the unlocking position, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, at this time, the pedal 4 is flipped to the top of the frame 1 and is arranged tilted generally from the upper right to the lower left, and the pedal 4 releases the blockage of the top opening of the installation space, so that the battery can be taken out from the installation space, thereby realizing charging or replacement and maintenance of the battery.

[0049] The first locking member 3 is provided on the frame 1, and the second locking member 5 is provided on the pedal 4. The first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 are locked and matched to fix the pedal 4 in the locked position. For example, the first locking member 3 can be a lock, and the second locking member 5 can be a lock hook 51, etc. The first locking member 3 can be fixed to the frame 1 by fasteners such as bolts, and the second locking member 5 can also be fixed to the pedal 4 by fasteners. When the pedal 4 is switched to the locked position, the lock can lock and match the lock hook 51, so that the pedal 4 can be kept in the locked position, avoiding the situation that the pedal 4 is opened during riding, and achieving an anti-theft effect.

[0050] The unlocking member 2 is connected to at least one of the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5, and is used to release the locking cooperation between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5. For example, the unlocking member 2 can be a connecting rod mechanism, a traction rope, etc., one end of the unlocking member 2 can be connected to the first locking member 3 by transmission, and the other end of the unlocking member 2 can be arranged at a handlebar, a frame 1, etc.

[0051] When in use, the unlocking member 2 can be manually driven to move, and the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 can be controlled by the transmission of the unlocking member 2 to release the locking cooperation, so that the fixation of the pedal 4 is released. At this time, the pedal 4 can be switched from the locked position to the unlocked position.

[0052] In some embodiments, after the locking cooperation between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 is released, the pedal 4 is pushed away from the frame 1 under the action between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 and / or between the frame 1 and the pedal 4.

[0053] For example, when the locking cooperation between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 is released by the unlocking member 2, a stopping action can be generated between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 due to the position change of the structural components. Under this action, the pedal 4 can be pushed away from the frame 1, so that a certain gap exists between the pedal 4 and the frame 1, thereby facilitating the flipping of the pedal 4 to the unlocking position.

[0054] In other embodiments, elastic members such as springs may also be provided between the frame 1 and the pedal 4. When the locking cooperation between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 is released, the pedal 4 may be pushed away from the frame 1 under the action of the elastic member, thereby facilitating the subsequent flipping of the pedal 4 to the unlocked position.

[0055] The pedal locking assembly of the embodiment of the utility model is provided with an installation space for placing a battery at the frame 1, thereby avoiding the situation in the prior art where the battery is placed in the seat bucket 7 or the like, which easily occupies more internal space of the seat bucket 7, thereby increasing the overall storage space and meeting the user's need to carry more items.

[0056] Secondly, the pedal 4 is rotatably assembled with the frame 1 , and when taking out the battery, the pedal 4 can always remain connected to the pedal 4 , avoiding the need to remove the pedal 4 in the prior art, and improving the convenience of the flipping operation of the pedal 4 .

[0057] In addition, the connection arrangement between the unlocking member 2 and the first locking member 3 or the second locking member 5 can realize long-distance unlocking, avoiding the situation in the prior art where one needs to bend over to unlock the pedal 4, which is more ergonomically designed and further improves the convenience of operation.

[0058] In some embodiments, the pedal locking assembly includes a hinge 6 , which is assembled between the pedal 4 and the frame 1 , and the hinge 6 is rotatably connected to at least one of the pedal 4 and the frame 1 so that the pedal 4 can rotate relative to the frame 1 .

[0059] For example, Figure 3 As shown, two hinges 6 can be provided, and both hinges 6 can be assembled between the pedal 4 and the frame 1 by screws, etc., one side of each hinge 6 can be rotatably connected to one of the pedal 4 and the frame 1, and the other side of each hinge 6 can be fixedly connected to the other of the pedal 4 and the frame 1. When in use, the pedal 4 can be flipped relative to the frame 1 at the hinge 6, thereby meeting the use needs of switching the position of the pedal 4.

[0060] In some other embodiments, the hinge 6 may also be rotatably assembled with the pedal 4 and the frame 1 .

[0061] In some embodiments, the hinge 6 is provided with a first stopper 61, and the frame 1 is provided with a second stopper 111. In the unlocked position, the first stopper 61 and the second stopper 111 cooperate to limit the rotation angle of the pedal 4 and keep the pedal 4 in the unlocked position.

[0062] For example, Figure 5As shown, a part of the hinge 6 can be rotatably assembled on the bottom side of the frame 1, the first stopper 61 can be located on the bottom side of the frame 1, and the second stopper 111 can be integrally formed on the frame 1. When the pedal 4 is switched to the unlocked position, at this time, the first stopper 61 can be stopped and limited below the second stopper 111, and the limit constraint of the first stopper 61 and the second stopper 111 can play a role in limiting the maximum swing angle of the pedal 4, thereby avoiding the problem of the pedal 4 being easily damaged due to transitional flipping.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 5 As shown, in the unlocked position, the angle formed by the pedal 4 and the frame 1 can be an obtuse angle, which is Figure 5 The angle α may be 110 degrees. In other embodiments, the angle α may be 115 degrees, 120 degrees, 125 degrees, etc.

[0064] In some embodiments, the hinge 6 includes a first hinge segment 62 and a second hinge segment 63 , which are arranged at an angle, the first hinge segment 62 is rotationally connected to the frame 1 , and the second hinge segment 63 is fixedly connected to the pedal 4 .

[0065] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first hinge segment 62 can be generally flat, and the second hinge segment 63 can be generally curved. The first hinge segment 62 and the second hinge segment 63 can be formed by bending a rectangular long plate, and the angle formed by the first hinge segment 62 and the second hinge segment 63 can be an acute angle. The free end of the first hinge segment 62 can be rotatably assembled with the frame 1 by means of an axle pin and a cotter pin, and the free end of the second hinge segment 63 can be connected and fixed to the pedal 4 by means of a bolt.

[0066] In the locked position, the first hinge section 62 and the second hinge section 63 are both located on the side of the pedal 4 facing the battery. Figure 6 As shown, when the pedal 4 is switched to the locked position, the hinge 6 is located as a whole below the pedal 4, and the opening of the angle formed by the first hinge segment 62 and the second hinge segment 63 faces upward, that is, the hinge 6 is hidden and blocked by the pedal 4 and the frame 1, avoiding exposure.

[0067] In the unlock position, such as Figure 7 As shown, the first hinge segment 62 is located below the frame 1 , and the second hinge segment 63 extends to the top of the frame 1 , that is, the second stopper 111 can be inserted into the angle formed by the first hinge segment 62 and the second hinge segment 63 .

[0068] When the pedal 4 is in the unlocked position, the rotational connection between the first hinge segment 62 and the frame 1 is located between the connection between the first hinge segment 62 and the second hinge segment 63 and the center of gravity of the pedal 4, that is, the rotational connection between the first hinge segment 62 and the frame 1 is located behind the connection between the first hinge segment 62 and the second hinge segment 63, and the center of gravity of the pedal 4 is located behind the rotational connection between the first hinge segment 62 and the frame 1.

[0069] Therefore, under the combined effect of the gravity of the pedal 4 and the stop limit of the second stop portion 111 , the pedal 4 can be kept in the unlocked position, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the pedal 4 in this position.

[0070] In some embodiments, the frame 1 includes a bracket 11, the pedal 4 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 11, and the hinge 6 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 11. Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the bracket 11 can be in the shape of a square frame, and the material of the bracket 11 can be plastic. The bracket 11 can be fixed to the frame 1 by bolts or other fasteners, and the pedal 4 can be assembled on the bracket 11 by pivoting. Figure 7 As shown, the first stopping portion 61 is disposed on the first hinge section 62 , and the second stopping portion 111 is disposed on the bracket 11 .

[0071] In some embodiments, the pedal 4 includes a cover body 41 and a reinforcement member 42 . The reinforcement member 42 is disposed on a side of the cover body 41 facing the battery, and the second hinge section 63 is fixedly connected to the reinforcement member 42 .

[0072] For example, Figure 3 The cover 41 and the reinforcement 42 can both be in the shape of a flat plate. The cover 41 can be made of plastic, and the reinforcement 42 can be made of metal. The reinforcement 42 is a sheet metal part, and the reinforcement 42 can be connected and fixed to the cover 41 by self-tapping screws. The free end of the second hinge section 63 can be connected and fixed to the reinforcement 42 by bolts. The provision of the reinforcement 42 can enhance the overall structural strength of the pedal 4, thereby fully meeting the use requirements of the pedal 4 being stepped on.

[0073] In some embodiments, the material of the cover 41 and the material of the bracket 11 can be the same and both can be plastic. In this case, the bracket 11 can connect the cover plate and the body plastic parts of the whole vehicle, thereby ensuring the appearance of the whole vehicle.

[0074] In some embodiments, the pedal 4 includes a plurality of buffer members 43 , which are elastically deformable, and the plurality of buffer members 43 are disposed on a side of the reinforcement member 42 facing the battery.

[0075] For example, Figure 3As shown, the buffer 43 may be a buffer block, and six buffers 43 may be provided, and the six buffers 43 may be evenly distributed on the side of the reinforcing member 42 away from the cover 41. The buffer 43 has a certain elastic deformation performance. When in use, the buffer 43 may be supported between the battery and the pedal 4, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the battery on the one hand, and playing a buffering role on the other hand, thereby reducing the impact force on the body plastic parts when the pedal 4 is closed, and also buffering the bumps and vibrations of the battery during riding, which is also conducive to improving the service life of the overall structural parts.

[0076] In some embodiments, the frame 1 includes a pedal section for pedaling, the installation space is provided in the pedal section, and the pedal 4 is rotatably connected to the side of the frame 1 extending along the length direction of the frame 1 .

[0077] For example, the pedal section is the position where the user's feet step when riding, and can also be regarded as the middle part of the frame 1 described above. The installation space can be set in the pedal section. The side of the frame 1 extending along the length direction can be the left side or the right side of the frame 1, and the hinge 6 can be installed on the right side of the frame 1.

[0078] Therefore, when the pedal 4 is switched to the unlocked position, the pedal 4 can be flipped to the right as a whole, thereby avoiding the situation where the pedal 4 is easily contacted and interfered with the rear part of the frame 1 when folded to other directions, providing flipping space for the pedal 4 and facilitating the user's operation.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first locking member 3 includes a housing 31 and a locking member 32 . The locking member 32 is provided with a slot, and the locking member 32 is rotatably assembled in the housing 31 and has a locking position and an unlocking position.

[0080] For example, Figure 8 As shown, the first locking member 3 may be a lock, which includes a housing 31 and a locking member 32. The housing 31 may be directly mounted and fixed to the vehicle frame 1 by fasteners. The locking member 32 may be generally V-shaped or U-shaped, and the slot is the inner groove of the locking member 32. The locking member 32 may be rotatably assembled on the housing 31, and has a locking position and an unlocking position during the rotation of the locking member 32. Figure 8 As shown, the second locking member 5 may be a locking hook 51 , and the locking hook 51 may be U-shaped as a whole, and the locking hook 51 may be formed by bending a steel bar or the like.

[0081] In the locked position, part of the second locking member 5 is located in the slot and stops with the slot wall to lock the pedal 4 in the locked position. Figure 8As shown, the locking member 32 is in the locked position. At this time, the slot of the locking member 32 can face the left side, and the middle part of the lock hook 51 can be laterally embedded in the slot and stopped by the upper side slot wall of the slot. Thus, the locking cooperation of the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 can be achieved, and the pedal 4 can be fixed in the locked position.

[0082] In the unlocked position, the notch of the slot faces the pedal 4 so that the second locking member 5 can be disengaged from the notch of the slot. Specifically, the locking member 32 can be driven to rotate and switch to the unlocked position by the unlocking member 2. At this time, the notch of the slot of the locking member 32 is arranged upward, and the middle part of the locking hook 51 will release the blocking with the slot wall of the slot, so that the locking hook 51 can be disengaged from the slot, and then the fixation of the pedal 4 in the locked position can be released.

[0083] In some embodiments, in the unlocked position or when the locking member 32 is switched from the locked position to the unlocked position, the locking member 32 abuts against the second locking member 5 to push the pedal 4 away from the frame 1 .

[0084] For example, the locking member 32 as a whole can be regarded as an eccentric structure. In the process of switching the locking member 32 from the locked position to the unlocked position, the relative distance between the corresponding surface of the locking member 32 and the middle part of the lock hook 51 will also change, and this distance will gradually decrease as the locking member 32 switches from the locked position to the unlocked position and directly stop contact between the two. As a result, the locking member 32 can push the lock hook 51 upward, thereby pushing the left edge of the pedal 4 upward, thereby facilitating the subsequent manual flipping of the pedal 4 to the unlocked position.

[0085] In some embodiments, the unlocking member 2 includes a traction portion 22 and a driving portion 21, the traction portion 22 is connected between the first locking member 3 and the driving portion 21, the driving portion 21 is used to drive the first locking member 3 to operate through the traction portion 22, and the driving portion 21 is arranged in the seat barrel 7 of the mobility scooter.

[0086] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the traction part 22 can be a steel wire rope, a cable, etc., and the driving part 21 can be a pull ring, a dial, a knob, etc., which can exert a pulling effect on the traction part 22. When in use, the action of the driving part 21 can achieve the pulling of the traction part 22, and the traction part 22 can drive the locking member 32, so that the locking between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5 can be released.

[0087] like Figure 1 As shown, the traction part 22 can be extended along the frame 1, and some structural parts such as limit grooves can be installed on the frame 1, so as to play a role in positioning the traction part 22, and the traction part 22 can be hidden under the decorative parts of the vehicle body to avoid the traction part 22 being exposed.

[0088] In some embodiments, Fig. 9 As shown, a seat bucket 7 can be installed on the rear side of the frame 1, and the seat bucket 7 is used for placing things. The driving part 21 can be installed in the seat bucket 7, so that the traction part 22 can be pulled by the driving part 21 only when the user opens the seat bucket 7, which further improves the anti-theft performance and avoids the situation of accidental opening.

[0090] The scooter of the embodiment of the utility model includes a pedal lock assembly, which can be a pedal lock assembly as described in any of the above embodiments. The scooter can be an electric vehicle, a tricycle, or other vehicles that need to be equipped with a pedal lock assembly.

[0091] In some embodiments, the mobility scooter includes a battery, which can be placed in the installation space of the frame 1. When the battery needs to be removed or repaired, the driving part 21 can pull the traction part 22 to release the locking cooperation between the first locking member 3 and the second locking member 5, and then the pedal 4 can be manually flipped to the unlocked position. At this time, the battery can be taken out from the installation space.
