[0003] Regarding the above related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following defects: Most electric scooters have a structure where the rear wheels drive and the front wheels steer. For better weight distribution, the battery pack is mostly arranged at the rear of the frame. However, most of the existing folding mechanisms can only fold the handlebars of the scooter, and the saved space is limited, so further improvement is needed. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to improve the problem that most electric scooters have a structure where the rear wheels drive and the front wheels steer, and for better weight distribution, the battery pack is mostly arranged at the rear of the frame. However, most of the existing folding mechanisms can only fold the handlebars of the scooter, and the saved space is limited, so further improvement is needed. The present application provides an electric scooter equipped with a novel folding mechanism.

Rotating rods are arranged at both the front and rear ends of the limiting frame. First bolts are arranged at both the front and rear ends of the main frame through threads. The folding component includes a sub-frame. A steering wheel is arranged on the upper right side of the top end of the sub-frame. The folding component includes a handlebar rod, and the handlebar rod is located at the bottom end of the main frame.

[0006] Further, a sliding rod is sleeved inside the limiting frame, and the front and rear ends of the sliding rod are respectively fixedly connected to the inner ends of the two rotating rods.

[0007] Further, the inner ends of the top parts of the two rotating rods are respectively rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the telescopic frame. A telescopic groove is opened at the left end of the sub-frame, and the telescopic frame, the two rotating rods, and the limiting frame can all be retracted into the telescopic groove.

[0008] Further, limiting grooves are opened at both the front and rear ends of the sub-frame. The two limiting grooves communicate with the telescopic groove. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the telescopic frame, and the two limiting blocks are respectively located in the two limiting grooves.

[0027] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, limiting grooves 107 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the sub-frame 201. The two groups of limiting grooves 107 communicate with the telescopic groove 106. Limiting blocks 108 are fixedly connected to both the front and rear ends of the telescopic frame 103. The two groups of limiting blocks 108 are respectively located in the two groups of limiting grooves 107.

[0028] During implementation, by rotating the first bolt 110 to separate it from the first threaded hole 109, the limitation between the main frame 101 and the sub-frame 201 is released. At this time, after pulling the sub-frame 201 outwards, the limiting frame 102 and the telescopic frame 103 are moved out of the telescopic groove 106. Then, through the rotational connection between the telescopic frame 103 and the limiting frame 102, the sub-frame 201 can be rotated to be folded with the main frame 101, greatly reducing the space occupied by the whole scooter during storage and transportation. The overall structure is simple, stable and convenient to use, with good practicability.

[0029] Embodiment 2:

[0030] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution for an electric scooter equipped with a new folding mechanism: first threaded holes 109 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the sub-frame 201, and two groups of first bolts 110 are threadedly connected to the first threaded holes 109.

[0031] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a connecting sleeve 204 is provided on the right part of the sub-frame 201. A transmission column 205 is sleeved inside the connecting sleeve 204. The bottom of the steering wheel 202 is arranged at the top end of the transmission column 205. The bottom of the transmission column 205 is threadedly connected with a first support rod 206.

[0032] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, the bottom of the first support rod 206 is rotatably connected with a second support rod 207. The left end of the second support rod 207 is fixedly connected to the right end of the grip rod 203. A lifting sleeve 208 is provided on the right side of the grip rod 203. The lifting sleeve 208 is threadedly connected to both the first support rod 206 and the second support rod 207.

[0033] As Figures 1 - 5 shown, a second threaded hole 111 is provided at the left bottom end of the main frame 101. The bottom end of the grip rod 203 is provided with a second bolt 112 through threads, and the second bolt 112 is threadedly connected to the second threaded hole 111.

[0034] In implementation, through the setting of the folding component 2, when the sub-frame 201 and the main frame 101 are folded, rotate the lifting sleeve 208 to move it on the first support rod 206 and the second support rod 207, so as to release the limit between the first support rod 206 and the second support rod 207. Then rotate the second support rod 207 to drive the grip rod 203 to fold at the bottom of the main frame 101. By using the setting of the second bolt 112 and the second threaded hole 111, the grip rod 203 can be folded and limited at the bottom of the main frame 101 while limiting the folding of the main frame 101 and the sub-frame 201. By rotating the first support rod 206 to separate it from the transmission column 205, the whole grip rod 203 can be disassembled and stored, which is convenient for personnel to choose a suitable folding and storage method according to needs.

[0035] The advantages of this technical solution in practical applications include but are not limited to the following points:

[0036] 1. By rotating the first bolt 110 to release the limit between the main frame 101 and the sub-frame 201, at this time, after pulling the sub-frame 201 outwards, through the rotational connection between the telescopic frame 103 and the limiting frame 102, the sub-frame 201 can be rotated to be folded with the main frame 101, greatly reducing the space occupied by the whole vehicle during storage and transportation. The overall structure is simple, stable and easy to use, with good practicability.

[0037] 2. By rotating the lifting sleeve 208 to release the limit between the first support rod 206 and the second support rod 207, then rotating the second support rod 207, using the setting of the second bolt 112 and the second threaded hole 111, the grip rod 203 can be folded and limited at the bottom of the main frame 101 while limiting the folding of the main frame 101 and the sub-frame 201. By rotating the first support rod 206 to separate it from the transmission column 205, the whole grip rod 203 can be disassembled and stored, which is convenient for personnel to choose a suitable folding and storage method according to needs.

[0038] In this technical solution, by rotating the first bolt 110 to separate it from the first threaded hole 109, the limitation between the main frame 101 and the sub-frame 201 is released. At this time, after pulling the sub-frame 201 outwards, the limit frame 102 and the telescopic frame 103 are moved out of the telescopic groove 106. Then, through the rotational connection between the telescopic frame 103 and the limit frame 102, the sub-frame 201 can be rotated to be folded with the main frame 101. When the sub-frame 201 and the main frame 101 are folded, rotate the lifting sleeve 208 to move it on the first support rod 206 and the second support rod 207, so as to release the limitation between the first support rod 206 and the second support rod 207. Then rotate the second support rod 207 to drive the grip rod 203 to be folded at the bottom of the main frame 101. By using the arrangement of the second bolt 112 and the second threaded hole 111, the grip rod 203 can be folded and limited at the bottom of the main frame 101 while limiting the folding of the main frame 101 and the sub-frame 201. By rotating the first support rod 206 to separate it from the transmission column 205, the whole grip rod 203 can be disassembled and stored, which is convenient for personnel to select a suitable folding and storage method according to their needs.
