[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of wheelbarrow accessories, and in particular relates to a foldable foot support and a wheelbarrow. Background Art

[0002] The kickstand of a wheelbarrow is designed to provide additional support and stability, especially when parked. The kickstand can prevent the wheelbarrow from falling over, prevent the vehicle from directly contacting the ground, reduce the friction between the body and the ground, and thus protect the body.

[0003] However, the existing unicycle kickstand has the problems of being non-adjustable and large in size, which will increase the overall size of the unicycle. When used in off-road scenarios with relatively complex environments, the unicycle kickstand is easily interfered by shrubs, branches or stairs with a large drop that extend to the roadside. After the unicycle kickstand collides with an obstacle, it will undoubtedly affect the balance of the vehicle, posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides a foldable footrest and a unicycle to solve the problems of the prior art unicycle footrest being non-adjustable and large in size, and posing a potential safety hazard when used in off-road scenarios with relatively complex environments.

[0005] One solution of the utility model provides a foldable foot support, comprising:

[0006] A fixing assembly, one end of which is fixedly connected to the vehicle frame;

[0007] A foot support assembly, wherein the connecting end of the foot support assembly is hingedly arranged with the other end of the fixing assembly, and the supporting end of the foot support assembly is used to contact the ground when parking;

[0008] An elastic component is disposed between the connecting end of the foot support component and the bicycle frame, and the foot support component is fixed to the bicycle frame through the elastic component;

[0009] Wherein, the elastic component is configured to be able to adjust and fix the relative position of the foot support component and the frame.

[0010] Preferably, the elastic component includes at least two abutment surfaces, which are used to achieve multi-stage gear positioning of the foot support assembly through a plurality of the abutment surfaces.

[0011] Preferably, the elastic component is integrated with the foot support component, and the abutment surface abuts against the frame to fix the foot support component.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic component is fixedly arranged on the frame, and the abutting surface abuts against the connecting end of the foot support component to fix the foot support component.

[0013] Preferably, a transition fillet is formed at the intersection of two adjacent abutment surfaces, which is used to transition from one abutment surface to the other abutment surface when the foot support assembly is subjected to an external force, thereby flipping the foot support assembly to adjust its relative position with the frame.

[0014] Preferably, when the foot support assembly is fixed to the bicycle frame via the abutment surface located above the connection end of the foot support assembly, the supporting end of the foot support assembly is flipped upwards and the foot support assembly is positioned at a storage position relative to the bicycle frame.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing assembly is detachably connected to the frame via a fastener, or the fixing assembly is integrally integrated with the frame.

[0016] Preferably, the foot support assembly is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame.

[0017] Preferably, the end of the supporting end of the foot support assembly is also provided with an anti-slip texture.

[0018] Preferably, a connecting rod is provided between the supporting ends of the two foot support assemblies.

[0019] Preferably, the foot support assembly is provided with a hollow structure.

[0020] One solution of the present invention further provides a unicycle, comprising a foldable foot support as described in any one of the above solutions.

[0021] The above-mentioned foldable foot support and unicycle have the following beneficial effects

[0022] 1. The foot support assembly is fixed to the frame in an adjustable relative position through a fixing assembly and an elastic fixing end, so that the foot support assembly can be folded and stowed after adjusting the relative position when not in use, thereby reducing the overall size of the unicycle. In off-road scenarios, the probability of the unicycle being interfered with by obstacles can be reduced, reducing the safety hazards caused by the non-adjustable and large size of the foot support, and improving the safety of the unicycle.

[0023] 2. Through the design of at least two abutment surfaces, the foot support assembly can be fixed to the frame at different positions to achieve the expansion support or storage of the foot support assembly; and through the design of transition radius, the foot support assembly can transition from one abutment surface to the other abutment surface when subjected to external force, thereby achieving the flipping and position adjustment of the foot support assembly.

[0024] 3. The foldable footrest is easy to adjust. Users can easily adjust the position of the footrest assembly as needed, whether it is unfolded for support or folded for storage, which improves the user experience. And because it uses elastic components to achieve fixation, if you forget to fold the footrest assembly, the footrest assembly can better absorb and disperse the force when it is impacted, so that the footrest assembly can be passively folded after the impact, reducing potential damage to the vehicle and users.

Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One solution of the utility model provides a foldable foot support, comprising:

[0035] A fixing assembly 1, one end of which is fixedly connected to a vehicle frame 2;

[0036] A foot support assembly 3, wherein the connecting end of the foot support assembly 3 is hingedly arranged with the other end of the fixing assembly 1, and the supporting end of the foot support assembly 3 is used to contact the ground when parking; an elastic assembly 4, which is arranged between the connecting end of the foot support assembly 3 and the frame 2, and the foot support assembly 3 is fixed to the frame 2 through the elastic assembly 4;

[0037] The elastic component 4 is configured to adjust and fix the relative position of the foot support component 3 and the frame 2 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the foot support assembly 3 is fixed to the frame 2 in an adjustable relative position through the fixing assembly 1 and the elastic fixing end, so that the foot support assembly 3 can be adjusted in relative position and folded when not in use, thereby reducing the overall size of the unicycle. In off-road scenarios, the probability of the unicycle being interfered with by obstacles can be reduced, and the safety hazards caused by the non-adjustable and large size of the foot support are reduced, thereby improving the safety of the unicycle.

[0039] In one embodiment, the elastic component 4 includes at least two abutting surfaces 41 , which are used to achieve multi-stage positioning of the foot support assembly 3 through a plurality of the abutting surfaces 41 , thereby fixing the relative position of the foot support assembly 3 and the frame 2 .

[0040] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the elastic component 4 is integrated with the foot support component 3 , and the abutting surface 41 abuts against the frame 2 to fix the foot support component 3 .

[0041] In another embodiment, the elastic component 4 is fixedly arranged on the frame 2 or fixed to the frame 2 by fasteners (such as screws), and the abutment surface 41 abuts against the connecting end of the foot support assembly 3 to fix the foot support assembly 3 (not shown in the figure). When subjected to external force, the elastic component 4 is fixed and the connecting end of the foot support assembly 3 rotates around the hinge, thereby changing the abutment surface in contact with the elastic component 4, thereby adjusting the relative position of the foot support assembly 3 and the frame 2.

[0042] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 A transition fillet 42 is formed at the intersection of the two abutting surfaces 41, which is used to transition from one abutting surface 41 to the other abutting surface 41 when the foot support assembly 3 is subjected to an external force, thereby flipping the foot support assembly 3 to adjust its relative position with the frame 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, through the design of at least two abutment surfaces 41, the foot support assembly 3 can be fixed to the frame 2 at different positions to achieve the deployment support or storage of the foot support assembly 3; and through the design of the transition radius 42, the foot support assembly 3 can transition from one side abutment surface 41 to the other side abutment surface 41 when subjected to external force, thereby achieving the flipping and position adjustment of the foot support assembly 3.

[0044] In one embodiment, the two abutment surfaces 41 are respectively disposed on both sides of the central axis of the foot support assembly 3;

[0045] Please refer to Figure 3 When the foot support assembly 3 is fixed to the frame 2 via the abutment surface 41 below the central axis, the supporting end of the foot support assembly 3 is flipped downward, and the foot support assembly 3 is positioned at a supporting position relative to the frame 2.

[0046] In one embodiment, when the foot support assembly 3 is fixed to the bicycle frame 2 via the abutment surface 41 located above the connection end of the foot support assembly 3 , the supporting end of the foot support assembly 3 is flipped upward, and the foot support assembly 3 is positioned at a storage position relative to the bicycle frame 2 .

[0047] In this embodiment, the adjustment method of the foldable footrest is simple, and the user can easily adjust the position of the footrest assembly 3 as needed, whether it is unfolded for support or folded for storage, thereby improving the user experience; and because the elastic component is used to achieve fixation, if the footrest assembly 3 is forgotten to be folded, the footrest assembly 3 can also better absorb and disperse the force when it is impacted, so that the footrest assembly 3 is passively folded after the impact, reducing potential damage to the vehicle and the user.

[0048] In one embodiment, the fixing assembly 1 is detachably connected to the frame 2 via a fastener, or the fixing assembly 1 is integrated with the frame 2 in one piece.

[0049] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The fixing assembly 1 includes two groups of fixing parts 11, and the two groups of fixing parts 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 2, and each group of fixing parts 11 is fixedly provided with the foot support assembly 3.

[0050] In this embodiment, the symmetrical design of the two groups of fixing members 11 helps to provide a more balanced and stable supporting force, thereby reducing the risk of the wheelbarrow tilting or tipping over when parked.

[0051] In the application scenario of this embodiment, each set of fixing parts 11 includes two symmetrically arranged connecting plates. The fixing parts can be metal connecting plates or engineering plastic connecting plates with higher strength. The connecting plates are threadedly connected to the frame by screws. A connecting shaft is arranged between the two symmetrically arranged connecting plates, and the foot support assembly is hinged to the fixing parts 11 through the connecting shaft.

[0052] In another implementation scenario of the present embodiment, each set of fixing parts 11 includes a connecting plate, which is used to insert the connecting plate into the groove after a groove is cut in the middle of the foot support assembly 3, and then fix the connection by fasteners such as screws; or, each set of fixing parts includes multiple connecting plates, and the multiple connecting plates are fixedly connected to the foot support assembly 3 with a hinge-like structure.

[0053] In one embodiment, the end of the supporting end of the foot support assembly 3 is also provided with an anti-slip texture.

[0054] In this embodiment, the free end of the foot support assembly 3 is provided with an anti-skid texture, which can increase the friction between the foot support and the ground, improve the stability on wet or uneven ground, and reduce the possibility of sliding and tipping.

[0055] In one embodiment, the foot support assembly 3 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 2 .

[0056] In one embodiment, a connecting rod 5 is provided between the supporting ends of the two foot support assemblies 3 .

[0057] In this embodiment, the connection rod 5 is provided to not only enhance the overall structural strength of the foot support assembly 3, but also helps to provide a more stable support when parked, thereby preventing the wheelbarrow from tilting due to the imbalance of the foot support assemblies 3 on both sides.

[0058] In the application scenario of the present embodiment, in addition to being arranged between the supporting ends of the foot support assembly 3, multiple connecting rods 5 may also be arranged, and the connecting rods 5 are respectively arranged between the supporting ends of the foot support assembly 3 and between the connecting ends of the foot support assembly 3. At the same time, when the connecting rod 5 is arranged between the connecting ends of the foot support assembly 3, a predetermined distance is retained between the connecting rod 5 and the frame 2 to avoid interference and collision between the connecting rod 5 and the frame 2 during the adjustment process.

[0059] In one embodiment, the foot support assembly 3 is provided with a hollow structure.

[0060] In this embodiment, the hollow structure can reduce weight while maintaining sufficient strength.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] One solution of the present invention further provides a unicycle, comprising a foldable foot support as described in any one of the above solutions.

[0063] In this embodiment, the wheelbarrow significantly improves the stability and ease of operation of the vehicle through the foldable foot support design. The foot support includes a fixing component 1 and a foot support component 3 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 2. The foot support component 3 is connected to the fixing component 1 by a hinge, and the relative position with the frame 2 can be adjusted by an elastic component. The end of the support end of the foot support component 3 is provided with an anti-slip texture to enhance the friction with the ground and improve the stability on slippery ground. A connecting rod 5 is provided between the support ends to enhance the strength of the support structure and reduce the possibility of the wheelbarrow sliding and tipping. The foot support component 3 also has a hollow structure to reduce weight. This design not only improves the functionality of the foot support, but also enhances durability and aesthetics.

[0064] The unicycle is thus more adaptable, and can provide stable support on both flat urban roads and complex off-road terrains, reducing the risk of the vehicle tipping over, while facilitating the user to quickly unfold or fold the footrest when needed, thereby improving the user experience. In addition, the introduction of the anti-slip texture and the connecting rod 5 structure prolongs the service life of the footrest, allowing the unicycle to be reliably used in various environments.

[0065] In summary, the foldable foot support and unicycle disclosed in the utility model can at least bring the following beneficial effects:

[0066] 1. The foot support assembly 3 can be adjusted in relative position and folded up when not in use, thereby reducing the overall size of the unicycle. In off-road scenarios, the probability of the unicycle being interfered with by obstacles can be reduced, and the safety hazards caused by the non-adjustable and large size of the foot support are reduced, thereby improving the safety of the unicycle.

[0067] 2. Through the design of at least two abutment surfaces 41, the foot support assembly 3 can be fixed to the frame 2 at different positions to achieve the unfolding support or storage of the foot support assembly 3; and through the design of the transition fillet 42, the foot support assembly 3 can transition from a downward supporting state to an upward storage state when subjected to external force, thereby achieving the flipping and position adjustment of the foot support assembly 3.

[0068] 3. The adjustment method of the foldable footrest is simple. The user can easily adjust the position of the footrest assembly 3 as needed, whether it is unfolded for support or folded for storage, which improves the user experience; and because the elastic component is used for fixation, if the footrest assembly 3 is forgotten to be folded, the footrest assembly 3 can also better absorb and disperse the force when it is impacted, so that the footrest assembly 3 can be passively folded after the impact.

[0069] 4. The end is provided with anti-skid texture, which can increase the friction between the foot support and the ground, improve the stability on wet or uneven ground, and reduce the possibility of sliding and tipping. At the same time, the foot support assembly 3 is provided with a hollow structure to reduce the weight while maintaining sufficient strength and increase the aesthetics.

[0070] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
