[0022] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Embodiment: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the present utility model is an adjustable swing arm for an electric golf cart, including an inner end 1 of the swing arm and an outer end 2 of the swing arm.

[0024] Among them, a plurality of through mounting holes 101 are formed on the outer surface of the inner end 1 of the swing arm, and a plurality of fixing screws 3 respectively pass through a plurality of corresponding mounting holes 101. The shape of the mounting hole 101 is the same as the contour formed by the fixing block 502 and the through hole 501.

[0025] Since the shape of the mounting hole 101 is the same as the contour formed by the fixing block 502 and the through hole 501, the fixing screw 3 can pass through the through hole 501 during the installation process, and the fixing block 502 is inserted into the interior of the mounting hole 101, ensuring the precise positioning of the fixing block 502 in the mounting hole 101 and not easily shifting or shaking. Thus, the connection stability can be improved through precise cooperation, and the performance caused by improper installation can also be reduced.

[0026] And when the fixing block 502 is completely inserted into the mounting hole 101 and closely fits with the inner end 1 of the swing arm, it can be used as a part of the connecting piece to enhance the overall structural strength of the swing arm, making the swing arm more stable and reliable when bearing external forces and reducing the risk of damage caused by weak structure.

[0027] At the same time, by setting the fixing block 502, the total length formed by the inner end 1 of the swing arm and the outer end 2 of the swing arm can be adjusted according to needs by replacing the gasket 5 (the orientation of the gasket 5 can be adjusted, or the gasket 5 at different positions where the fixing block 502 is installed can be selected).

[0028] A plurality of through fixing holes 201 are formed on the outer surface of the outer end 2 of the swing arm, and a plurality of fixing screws 3 respectively pass through a plurality of corresponding fixing holes 201. The size of the fixing hole 201 is the same as the size of the fixing screw 3.

[0029] By forming the fixing holes 201 on the outer surface of the outer end 2 of the swing arm and the diameter of the fixing hole 201 being adapted to the fixing screw 3, it is convenient for installation and positioning, and the shaking can be reduced after installation, improving the stability of the installation.

[0030] The inner end 1 of the swing arm and the outer end 2 of the swing arm are adjustably connected through a plurality of mounting members.

[0031] By directly and adjustably installing the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm, it is convenient to adjust the total length formed by their combination, reducing the workload of replacing the entire swing arm assembly due to the need to change the length. Furthermore, it can reduce the work difficulty and workload, and improve work efficiency.

[0032] The installation parts include a matching fixing screw 3 and a fixing nut 4.

[0033] Installed through the mutually matching fixing screw 3 and fixing nut 4, the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm can be connected and installed. Moreover, using the fixing screw 3 and the fixing nut 4 is convenient for quick installation and disassembly. When it is necessary to replace or adjust the gasket 5, only the fixing nut 4 needs to be removed, which is relatively convenient.

[0034] A gasket 5 is arranged between the fixing screw 3 and the fixing nut 4.

[0035] By arranging the gasket 5 between the fixing screw 3 and the fixing nut 4, the pressure between the fixing screw 3 and the fixing nut 4 can be dispersed, making the connection more uniform and stable. When bearing a large load or vibration, the gasket 5 can reduce the possibility of loosening and sliding, thereby enhancing the firmness of the entire connection. At the same time, the gasket 5 also has a certain buffering and sealing property, reducing the wear caused by direct contact, as well as reducing the entry of rainwater or dust, which may affect the stability of the connection.

[0036] A through hole 501 is opened on the outer surface of the gasket 5, and the opened through hole 501 is used for inserting the fixing screw 3.

[0037] A fixing block 502 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the gasket 5, and the outer surface of the fixing block 502 is in sliding fit with the mounting hole 101, which is convenient for removing the gasket 5 and also for fixing the gasket 5.

[0038] An arc surface 503 is arranged on the outer surface of the fixing block 502, and the diameter of the arc surface 503 is the same as the diameter of the through hole 501.

[0039] Setting the diameter of the arc surface 503 to be the same as that of the through hole 501, that is, the arc surface 503 is semi-circular and is adapted to the outer surface of the fixing screw 3, can make the installation more stable and reduce the position deviation caused by shaking.

[0040] It should be noted that the position and orientation of the fixing block 502 and the arc surface 503 can be installed on the upper half or the lower half of the gasket 5 according to different installation requirements. When it is necessary to adjust the length of the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm, only the gasket 5 needs to be replaced.

[0041] In addition to the above installation method, when it is necessary to adjust the lengths of the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm, the direction of the gasket 5 can be reversed;

[0042] Thus, through the above two installation methods of the gasket 5, when the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm are combined into a whole, the total length can reach different sizes, and thus the length formed by the combination of the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm can be flexibly adjusted;

[0043] The working principle of the present invention: when it is necessary to adjust the total length of the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm, first loosen the fixing nut 4 and remove it from the fixing screw 3, then the gasket 5 can be removed from the inside of the mounting hole 101, and then according to the installation requirements, the direction of the gasket 5 is changed to adjust the total length formed by the inner end 1 and the outer end 2 of the swing arm;

[0044] In addition to choosing to change the direction of the gasket 5, it is also possible to choose to replace the gasket 5 (when replacing the gasket 5, gaskets 5 with different installation positions of the fixing block 502 can be selected).

[0045] The above has described in detail an embodiment of the present invention, but the content described is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered as limiting the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made according to the scope of the application of the present invention shall still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
