[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0034] Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the tricycle provided by this embodiment when carrying goods is shown. Figure 2 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the tricycle provided by this embodiment when carrying people. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a tricycle, including a front wheel 200 and a rear seat structure, wherein a frame 1 of the rear seat structure is connected to the front wheel 200. By improving the rear seat structure, the tricycle can switch between a passenger function and a cargo function, thereby improving the applicability of the rear seat structure, meeting the user's use needs in different use scenarios, and significantly improving the user experience.

[0035] Figure 3 FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the rear seat provided in this embodiment. Figure 3 Combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in another embodiment, a rear seat structure of a tricycle is provided, which includes a frame 1, a bottom plate 2 and four side plates 3. The frame 1 is used to connect the two rear wheels 100 of the tricycle. The bottom plate 2 is arranged on the frame 1 between the two rear wheels 100. The four side plates 3 are hinged to the bottom plate 2 and can be folded relative to the bottom plate 2. Among them, after the four side plates 3 are rotated and folded in a direction close to the bottom plate 2, the four side plates 3 can form a plate-like body with a plane after being tightly attached to the bottom plate 2. After the four side plates 3 are rotated and unfolded in a direction away from the bottom plate 2, the four side plates 3 can be surrounded with the bottom plate 2 to form a box-like body with a accommodating cavity.

[0036] When the rear seat structure needs to carry people, the four side panels 3 are rotated and folded around the hinge points with the bottom plate 2 toward the bottom plate 2, and the side walls of the four side panels 3 close to the bottom plate 2 are closely attached to the bottom plate 2, thereby forming a plate-like body with a flat surface on the top. At this time, the user can use the plate-like body as a seat plate in a traditional rear seat structure and sit on the flat surface of the plate-like body, thereby realizing the carrying function of the rear seat structure.

[0037] When the rear seat structure needs to carry objects, the four side panels 3 are rotated and unfolded around the hinge points with the bottom panel 2 in a direction away from the bottom panel 2, so that the bottom panel 2 and the four side panels 3 form a box-shaped body with a receiving cavity. At this time, the user can put the objects to be placed into the receiving cavity of the box-shaped body formed by the bottom panel 2 and the four side panels 3, so as to realize the carrying function of the rear seat structure.

[0038] The rear seat structure utilizes the hinged setting of the four side panels 3 and the bottom plate 2 on the frame 1, so that the four side panels 3 can be folded and unfolded. The rear seat structure is innovatively switched between the passenger function and the cargo function by folding and unfolding, so that the rear seat structure no longer only realizes a single passenger function or cargo function, and improves the applicability of the rear seat structure, so that the rear seat structure can meet the user's use needs in different scenarios of passenger or cargo, and significantly improves the user experience. Since only the four side panels 3 need to be rotated, the user can fold and unfold the four side panels 3 without any effort to achieve the purpose of switching the passenger function and the cargo function, making it easier and more convenient for the user to switch, and young children, adults or elderly people can quickly get started. Moreover, it is not necessary to disassemble certain components of the rear seat structure to switch the passenger function and the cargo function, and it can also effectively avoid the occurrence of situations such as pinching hands or bumping limbs during the disassembly process.

[0039] Furthermore, the rear seat structure also includes a pair of locking components 4 disposed on a set of two mutually parallel side panels 3 and capable of locking three adjacent side panels 3 among the four side panels 3. The locking components 4 include a handle 41 and two abutment members 42 that penetrate the side panels 3 and are connected to the handle 41. Pulling the handle 41 can drive the two abutment members 42 to respectively abut against the adjacent side panels 3 on both sides, so as to lock three adjacent side panels 3 among the four side panels 3. When it is necessary to switch to the loading function, after the four side panels 3 are rotated and unfolded in a direction away from the bottom panel 2, the handle 41 is pulled and the two abutment members 42 are driven to abut against two adjacent side panels 3 respectively, so as to achieve locking of three adjacent side panels 3 among the four side panels 3. By setting a locking assembly 4 on a set of two parallel side panels 3, all four side panels 3 can be locked, so that the four side panels 3 and the bottom panel 2 are surrounded to form a stable box-shaped body, so as to ensure that the rear seat structure can maintain a stable shape after being switched to the loading state by the user, and prevent the rear seat structure from being deformed and collapsed due to external forces, affecting the objects placed in the accommodating cavity. When it is necessary to switch to the passenger function, the handle 41 is moved in the opposite direction of the handle 41 when switching to the loading function, so that the four side panels 3 are unlocked, so as to smoothly switch to the passenger function.

[0040] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 4 locks the three side panels 3 by abutting the two side panels 3 adjacent to the side panel 3 on which the locking assembly 4 is installed through the abutment member 42. In other embodiments, the locking assembly 4 can also be configured to lock by inserting a plug-in rod passing through two adjacent side panels 3. This embodiment does not specifically limit the specific locking method of the locking assembly 4, and any interlocking structure that can achieve the above locking method should be within the protection scope of the disclosed embodiment.

[0041] Preferably, each side panel 3 is provided with crisscross reinforcing ribs 31 to strengthen the supporting strength of each side panel 3, thereby ensuring that the rear seat structure can form a stable structure whether it is switched to the passenger function or the cargo function.

[0042] Specifically, the abutment member 42 passes through the reinforcing rib 31 on the corresponding side plate 3 and then abuts against the adjacent side plate 3 , thereby achieving the setting of the locking assembly 4 on the side plate 3 .

[0043] Preferably, the four side panels 3 are divided into two groups, one group of two parallel side panels 3 is folded first, and the other group of two parallel side panels 3 is folded later. By folding the two groups of side panels 3 in sequence, the thickness of the plate-like body formed by folding the four side panels 3 and the bottom plate 2 is increased without increasing the thickness of the side panels 3, so as to improve the supporting strength of the plate-like body when the rear seat structure is adjusted to the passenger function, thereby improving the upper limit of the load-bearing capacity of the plate-like body formed by folding the four side panels 3 and the bottom plate 2.

[0044] Since the rear seat structure is mainly used in tricycles, tricycles are rarely used to carry heavy objects in daily commuting or short-distance travel. However, due to the need for the passenger function, it is necessary to adaptively improve the frame 1 of the tricycle to meet the need for the passenger function.

[0045] Figure 4 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the vehicle frame 1 provided in this embodiment. Figure 4 Combined with Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the frame 1 includes a connecting tube body 11 for connecting two rear wheels 100 and a main supporting tube body 12 arranged on the outer wall of the connecting tube body 11 and used to support the bottom plate 2, so as to provide effective support for the bottom plate 2, thereby ensuring the normal riding of the tricycle when carrying passengers.

[0046] Furthermore, two main support tube bodies 12 are provided, and the frame 1 also includes a middle tube 13 for placing a seat of the tricycle, wherein one main support tube body 12 is provided on a side close to the middle tube 13, and the other main support tube body 12 is provided on a side away from the middle tube 13, so as to disperse the pressure generated by the user sitting on the plate-like body formed by folding the four side panels 3 and the bottom panel 2 to the two main support tube bodies 12, thereby avoiding bending caused by excessive pressure on one main support tube body 12, thereby strengthening the support for the bottom panel 2.

[0047] Furthermore, the frame 1 further includes a support plate 14 arranged along the riding direction of the tricycle and used to connect the two main support tubes 12 with the bottom plate 2. The two main support tubes 12, the support plate 14 and the connecting tube 11 are connected to form a triangular structure, the connecting tube 11 corresponds to the first vertex of the triangular structure, the connection point of one main support tube 12 and the support plate 14 corresponds to the second vertex of the triangular structure, and the connection point of the other main support tube 12 and the support plate 14 corresponds to the third vertex of the triangular structure. The support tube and the bottom surface of the bottom plate 2 can be connected through the support plate 14, thereby providing a connection carrier for the bottom plate 2 and the main support tube 12, and the pressure of a part of the bottom plate 2 on the support tube can be dispersed to the support plate 14, so as to further provide support for the bottom plate 2. And by utilizing the good stability of the triangular structure, the pressure generated by the user sitting on the plate-like body formed after the four side plates 3 and the bottom plate 2 are folded can be effectively dispersed, thereby improving the support strength of the frame 1 and ensuring that the rear seat structure of the tricycle can be more stable when carrying people.

[0048] Specifically, two support plates 14 are arranged along the riding direction of the tricycle, and the two support plates 14 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the connecting tube body 11 to better disperse the pressure exerted by a part of the bottom plate 2 on the support tube body to the support plates 14 .

[0049] Since the rear seat structure is located at the rear, when the user sits on the plate-like body formed by the four side panels 3 and the bottom plate 2, the user (i.e., the user) will sit with his / her back to the riding direction, and the legs of the user will be placed on the plate-like body in a direction away from the middle tube 13. Therefore, the frame 1 also includes a secondary support tube body 15 arranged on the outer wall of the connecting tube body 11 and a reinforcing tube body 16 connected to the secondary support tube body 15 at one end and connected to the supporting tube body near the rear of the riding direction of the tricycle at the other end, so as to adapt to the riding style of the user and ensure that the frame 1 can provide effective support for the bottom plate 2 when the user sits.
