[0027] Now, the present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are all simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present utility model in a schematic manner, so they only show the components related to the present utility model.

[0028] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a rocking tricycle includes a front frame 100 and a rear cargo box 200. A front wheel 110 is installed at the front end of the front frame 100, and a driving sprocket (not shown in the figure) is installed in the middle thereof. Rear wheels 210 are symmetrically installed on both left and right sides of the rear cargo box 200. It further includes a connecting frame 300, a rocker 400, a universal shaft 500, and a differential motor 600. The connecting frame 300 is arranged inside the rear cargo box 200 and is located at the bottom end of the rear cargo box 200. The front top end of the connecting frame 300 is connected to the front end of the rear cargo box 200 through the rocker 400. The front end of the connecting frame 300 is connected to the rear end of the front frame 100, and the left and right sides in the middle thereof are respectively connected to the rear wheels 210 through the universal shaft 500. The differential motor 600 is installed in the middle of the connecting frame 300, and its output shaft is connected to the universal shaft 500. A flywheel 610 on the differential motor 600 is in transmission connection with the driving sprocket through a driving chain (not shown in the figure). The front top end of the connecting frame 300 is connected to the front end of the rear cargo box 200 through the rocker 400, and the front end of the connecting frame 300 is connected to the rear end of the front frame 100. When the front frame 100 rocks, the front frame 100 and the connecting frame 300 rock integrally relative to the rear cargo box 200, so that the driving chain will not be twisted in an 8-shaped manner, ensuring the reliability of the transmission performance and improving the riding safety and riding experience. Specifically, the flywheel 610 is installed on the output shaft of the differential motor 600.

[0029] As Figures 4-6 shown, the rocker 400 includes a housing 410, a U-shaped plate 420, a rocking shaft 430, and a restoring component 440. The housing 410 has a hollow disc structure. The housing 410 is installed in the middle of the front end of the rear cargo box 200 and is located inside the U-shaped plate 420. The U-shaped plate 420 is installed at the front top end of the connecting frame 300. The rocking shaft 430 penetrates through the middle of the housing 410 and is rotationally matched with the housing 410. Both ends of the rocking shaft 430 are connected to both sides of the U-shaped plate 420. The restoring component 440 is arranged inside the housing 410 and is sleeved on the middle of the rocking shaft 430. The setting of the restoring component 440 can automatically return to the initial state when the front frame 100 rocks relative to the rear cargo box 200, further enhancing the riding experience.

[0030] As Figures 6-8As shown in the figure, the restoring component 440 includes a fixed shaft 441, a spacer sleeve 442, an elastic block 443 and a gasket 444. The fixed shaft 441 is sleeved on the middle part of the swing shaft 430. The spacer sleeve 442 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 410 and coaxially sleeved outside the fixed shaft 441. A plurality of first card slots 4411 are circumferentially formed on the outer wall of the fixed shaft 441, and a plurality of second card slots 4421 are circumferentially formed on the inner wall of the spacer sleeve 442. The first card slots 4411 correspond to the second card slots 4421. The elastic block 443 is embedded in the first card slots 4411 and the second card slots 4421. The gaskets 444 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the fixed shaft 441 and connected to the spacer sleeve 442. Specifically, the elastic block 443 is made of an elastic material; the gasket 444 is connected to the spacer sleeve 442 by bolts. When the rocker 400 is stationary, the elastic block 443 does not deform; when the front vehicle frame 100 swings relative to the rear cargo box 200, the U-shaped plate 420 swings relative to the housing 410, and then drives the fixed shaft 441 to rotate relative to the spacer sleeve 442 through the swing shaft 430, and the middle part of the elastic block 443 is squeezed and deformed; when the front vehicle frame 100 needs to return to the initial state, the elasticity of the elastic block 443 plays an automatic restoring role. The setting of the gasket 444 can prevent sundries from entering the first card slots 4411 and the second card slots 4421.

[0031] As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the figure, the universal shaft 500 includes a transmission shaft 510 and a universal joint 520. Both ends of the transmission shaft 510 are respectively connected to the wheel axle of the rear wheel 210 and the output shaft of the differential motor 600 through the universal joint 520. Through the setting of the universal shaft 500, the influence of different left and right torques is reduced, and the transmission performance is guaranteed.

[0032] As Figures 4-6 shown in the figure, the housing 410 includes a circular plate 411, a front end cover 412 and a rear end cover 413. The circular plate 411 is installed in the middle of the front end of the rear cargo box 200. The front end cover 412 is installed on the front side of the circular plate 411. The front end cover 412 is sleeved on the swing shaft 430 and is in clearance fit with the swing shaft 430. The rear end cover 413 is installed on the rear side of the circular plate 411. The rear end cover 413 is sleeved on the swing shaft 430 and is in rotational fit with the swing shaft 430. Specifically, the circular plate 411 is integrally formed and connected with the rear cargo box 200; the rear end cover 413 is sleeved on the swing shaft 430 through a bearing; both the front end cover 412 and the rear end cover 413 are connected to the circular plate 411 by bolts, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0033] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, annular convex ribs 700 are respectively provided on the relative inner sides of the front end cover 412 and the rear end cover 413. Both ends of the inner wall of the circular plate 411 are in contact with the outer walls of the annular convex ribs 700. The setting of the annular convex ribs 700 plays a positioning role and is convenient for the installation of the front end cover 412 and the rear end cover 413.

[0034] As Figure 7 shown, a plurality of grooves 4111 are circumferentially formed in the inner wall of the circular plate 411, and a plurality of protrusions 800 are circumferentially provided on the outer wall of the spacer sleeve 442. The protrusions 800 are embedded in the grooves 4111. The cooperation setting of the protrusions 800 and the grooves 4111 facilitates the fixing, installation and disassembly of the spacer sleeve 442 in the circular plate 411.

[0035] As Figure 6 shown, the rear end of the swing shaft 430 is connected to one side of the U-shaped plate 420, and its front end is connected to the other side of the U-shaped plate 420 through a bushing 900 and locked by a nut 1000. Specifically, the nut 1000 is in threaded cooperation with the front end of the swing shaft 430.

[0036] As Figure 2 shown, a speed sensor 1100 is installed at the left end of the bottom of the connecting frame 300.

[0037] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it. It is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
