Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of scooters, in particular to a folding structure of a scooter. Background Art
[0002] A scooter is a sporting good that is flexible and convenient to use. It can not only achieve the purpose of transportation, but also effectively exercise the body, so it is deeply loved by the public. Current scooters are usually equipped with a folding function, which is convenient for storage and space saving when not in use. However, the existing folding structure usually has a hook that hooks the latch to limit the rotation of the vehicle tube or moves the latch along the arc groove from the upper end to the lower end to achieve the process of the scooter from unfolding to folding. However, the locking strength of this type of folding method is not very stable. When the latch is stuck at the upper end of the arc groove, if the scooter bounces up when riding on objects such as stones, the latch is easy to slide along the arc groove, resulting in the vehicle tube being unable to be fixed, resulting in shaking when the fixed state enters the folded state. If a concave limit groove is opened at the upper end of the arc groove, the user has to spend a lot of effort to unlock it when folding. Therefore, a folding structure with high locking strength that is different from the folding methods on the market is now needed. Summary of the invention

A sliding slope 11 is provided on it. Pressing the driving button 9 can press the sliding slope 11 downward through the driving slope 10, so that the sliding block 8 drives the folding movement to disengage from the limiting groove 13. At this time, the rotating seat 4 releases the restriction of the folding pin 12 and rotates around the fixed seat 2 through the rotating shaft 6. A safety piece 14 is also movably provided on one side of the fixed seat 2. A safety hook 15 is provided on the safety piece 14. The safety hook 15 buckles the folding pin 12 and limits the movement of the folding pin 12, driving the safety hook 15 to disengage from the folding pin 12. At this time, the folding pin 12 can move with the sliding block 8 and disengage from the limiting groove 13.
[0035] The utility model discloses a folding structure for a scooter. In order to solve the problem of poor stability of the folding structures currently on the market, the utility model is designed. When installed, the utility model is connected to the handlebar on the scooter through a rotating seat 4. A limiting groove 13 is provided on the rotating seat 4, and a folding pin 12 is clamped in the limiting groove 13. At this time, the rotating seat 4 is restricted by the folding pin 12 and cannot move around the rotating shaft 6. When the rotating seat 4 and the fixed seat 2 need to be relatively folded, it is only necessary to press the driving button 9. The driving inclined surface 10 provided on the driving button 9 can cooperate with the sliding inclined surface 11. When the driving button 9 moves vertically, the sliding block 8 gradually moves with the pressure of the continuous movement of the driving button 9. When the sliding block 8 moves, it drives the folding pin 12 to disengage from the limiting groove 13. At this time, the folding pin 12 no longer restricts the rotation of the rotating seat 4, and the rotating seat 4 and the fixed seat 2 are relatively folded. The movable seat 4 can be rotated and folded around the rotating shaft 6, and the driving button 9 of the utility model is arranged on the side of the fixed seat 2 to prevent the user from touching it easily. Compared with the foot-stepping paddle method on the market, it is safer and more stable. In order to prevent the folding pin 12 from easily disengaging from the limiting groove 13, a safety piece 14 is arranged on the other side of the rotating seat 4 to prevent the side from hitting and forcing the driving button 9 to move and causing accidents. By providing a safety hook 15 on the safety piece 14, the safety piece 14 buckles the other end of the folding pin 12 through the safety hook 15. At this time, even if the driving button 9 is pressed, the folding pin 12 is blocked by the safety hook 15 and cannot move. The folding pin 12 cannot be separated from the limiting groove 13, which is safer and has strong locking performance. Compared with the folding structure on the market, it is more stable and safer, and will not fold suddenly due to easy touching or accidents.
[0036] Preferably, a rotating hole 16 is provided at one end of the safety member 14, and the safety member 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 6 through the rotating hole 16 and buckles the folding pin 12 through the safety hook 15. Driving the safety member 14 to rotate around the rotating shaft 6 can drive the safety hook 15 on the safety member 14 to disengage from the folding pin 12. The rotation method is convenient for the user to open or lock the safety member 14 without having to disassemble the safety member 14 separately to place the safety member 14. The rotation method is quick, and the rotation of the safety member 14 will not drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, so independent work is safer.
[0037] Preferably, the safety member 14 is also laterally protruded with a toggle piece 17, which is convenient for the user to manually toggle the safety member 14 to open, to avoid users with oily hands or insufficient strength being unable to exert force, and the protruding part can also clearly inform the user of the point where force is used.

A tightening spring 19 is further provided on the rotating shaft 6. One end of the tightening spring 19 is connected to the folding pin 12. Pressing the driving button 9 drives the folding pin 12 to move through the sliding block 8. The folding pin 12 moves backward along the waist-shaped hole 18 and pulls the tightening spring 19, so that the tightening spring 19 is stretched. When the driving button 9 is released, the tightening spring 19 contracts and pulls the folding pin 12 to reset. The waist-shaped hole 18 can limit the moving position distance of the folding pin 12 back and forth and also facilitate guiding the folding pin 12 to play a guiding role. The tightening spring 19 can provide reset. As long as the driving button 9 is released, the folding pin 12 can return to its original position, and there is no need for the user to manually dial and control again.
[0039] Preferably, an E-shaped snap ring 20 is provided inside the sliding block 8. The number of the E-shaped snap rings 20 is two, which are respectively clamped at the upper and lower ends of the folding pin 12. The sliding of the sliding block 8 can drive the folding pin 12 to move back and forth through the E-shaped snap ring 20. By clamping the folding pin 12 with the E-shaped snap ring 20, the sliding of the sliding block 8 can synchronously drive the folding pin 12 to move, and the sliding block 8 can also be synchronously driven to reset when the tightening spring 19 pulls the folding pin 12 to reset.
[0040] Preferably, a locking groove 27 is further provided on the rotating seat 4. After driving the folding pin 12 to move, the rotating seat 4 rotates around the rotating shaft 6. At this time, when the driving button 9 is released to drive the folding pin 12 to move, it can abut against the locking groove 27 and limit the rotation of the rotating seat 4, avoiding opening with the angle or posture when the user holds it by hand. For the user to unlock, it is necessary to manually press the driving button 9 to drive the folding pin 12 to disengage from the locking groove 27 through the sliding block 8. Only at this time can the rotating seat 4 be dialed to rotate around the rotating shaft 6 to open.
[0041] Preferably, a moving hole 21 is further provided on the sliding block 8. The fixed shaft 5 includes a front fixed shaft 22 and a rear fixed shaft 23. The front fixed shaft 22 passes through the moving hole 21 and is connected to the pedal. The moving hole 21 facilitates the movement of the driving button 9.
[0042] Preferably, a moving part 24 is further provided on the driving button 9. The driving button 9 is sleeved on the front fixed shaft 22 through the moving part 24 and can move along the front fixed shaft 22. A return spring 25 is further provided between the driving button 9 and the sliding block 8. The moving part 24 facilitates the driving button 9 to enter and exit the connecting member 7, which is convenient for the user to press, and being sleeved on the front fixed shaft 22 also does not shift left and right.
[0043] Preferably, a plurality of convex portions 26 are further protruded on the driving inclined surface 10, and the convex portions 26 are in contact with the sliding inclined surface 11, which is convenient for squeezing the sliding block 8. Compared with the two smooth driving inclined surface 10 and sliding inclined surface 11, the presence of the convex portions 26 will cause the driving block to be subjected to force faster and more smoothly when pressed down, so as to slide.
[0044] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
