[0002] An electric scooter is a vehicle that combines electric propulsion with human power. Typically equipped with a battery and motor, it provides power assistance to the rider, making riding easier and more labor-saving. Electric scooters are environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, economical, and practical, making them suitable for short-distance urban commuting and outings.

[0003] In order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the handlebars of the electric scooter, a lock of the electric scooter is usually provided. When opened, the handlebars of the electric scooter can be slid up and down, and when closed, the handlebars can be fixed.

[0004] However, in actual use, the lock design of electric scooters often has the problem of being easily unlocked by accidental touch. This inadvertent opening may not only cause the handlebars of the electric scooter to loosen, but also invisibly bring safety hazards to riding, increasing the risk factor during riding. In addition, the lock function of electric scooters is relatively simple, making electric scooters lack practicality. Especially considering that electric scooters are often designed without sufficient storage space, it makes it difficult for users to carry necessary personal items while riding. This limitation not only brings many inconveniences to users' daily travel, but also limits the use scenarios and flexibility of electric scooters to a certain extent. Therefore, a lock for electric scooters is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2The utility model provides an embodiment: a lock for an electric scooter, comprising a scooter 1, a motor provided inside the scooter 1, which can provide the scooter 1 with movement power, a sliding sleeve 2 provided on the top of the scooter 1, a sliding column 3 slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve 2, the sliding sleeve 2 restricts the sliding column 3 from sliding up and down along the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 2, the outer periphery of the sliding column 3 is in contact with a snap ring 4, the snap ring 4 has a certain elasticity and can produce a certain deformation, the bottom end of the snap ring 4 is provided on the top of the sliding sleeve 2, and the right side of the snap ring 4 is fixedly connected to the limited position Plate 5, the limit plate 5 is provided with two groups, which are symmetrically arranged front and back, and the limit plate 5 is rotatably connected inside with a rotating pin 6, and an annular groove 7 is opened on the outer periphery of the rotating pin 6. There are two groups of annular grooves 7, which are symmetrically arranged front and back, and the limit plate 5 is fixedly connected inside with a limit ball 8, and the outer periphery of the limit ball 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the annular groove 7. When the rotating pin 6 rotates upward, the annular groove 7 can drive the limit ball 8 to move forward and backward, thereby driving the limit plate 5 to move to both sides, so that the clamping ring 4 is opened, and the bottom end of the rotating pin 6 is fixedly connected to the limit hook 9, which is convenient for hanging certain items.

[0033] Reference Figure 2-Figure 3 The right side of the sliding sleeve 2 is fixedly connected to the limit assembly, which is used to limit the position of the limit hook 9. The limit assembly includes a limit seat 10, and the left side of the limit seat 10 is fixedly connected to the right side of the sliding sleeve 2. The inner wall of the bottom end of the limit seat 10 is elastically connected to the limit column 12 through a limit spring 11. When the limit column 12 is not under force, the limit spring 11 will push the limit column 12 forward. One end of the limit spring 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the limit seat 10, and the other end of the limit spring 11 is fixedly connected to the back of the limit column 12. The outer periphery of the limit column 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the limit seat 10. The limit seat 10 limits the limit column 12 to only slide back and forth along the inner wall of the limit seat 10. A card seat 13 is clamped on the right side of the sliding sleeve 2. The outer periphery of the limit column 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the limit hook 9, and the outer periphery of the limit column 12 is slidably connected to the inside of the card seat 13, so that the limit hook 9 cannot rotate.

[0034] Reference Figure 4-Figure 5 A fixing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the left side of the snap ring 4, and a connecting plate 15 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the fixing plate 14. A limiting groove 16 is provided inside the connecting plate 15. Two groups of limiting grooves 16 are provided, which are symmetrically arranged inside the connecting plate 15 front and back. A magnetic plate 17 is provided on the left side of the connecting plate 15. Two groups of magnetic plates 17 are provided, which are symmetrically arranged front and back. A fixing buckle 18 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 16. The fixing buckle 18 is made of iron in one piece and can be attracted by the magnetic plate 17. A headlight 19 is provided on the left side of the fixing buckle 18 to increase the safety of the scooter 1.

[0035] Working principle: When you want to prevent the limit hook 9 from loosening, first rotate the limit hook 9 downward, the limit hook 9 drives the rotating pin 6 to rotate downward, the rotating pin 6 drives the ring groove 7 to rotate, the ring groove 7 drives the limit ball 8 to move inward, the limit ball 8 drives the limit plate 5 to move inward, the limit plate 5 drives the snap ring 4 to clamp inward, fix the sliding column 3, and at the same time, move the limit column 12 backward to make the limit column 12 slide to the inside of the limit seat 10. When the limit hook 9 is rotated downward to the bottom, release the limit column 12, and the limit column 12 moves forward to jam the limit hook 9, so that the limit hook 9 is not easily accidentally touched to cause the snap ring 4 to loosen. At the same time, the limit hook 9 can hook some items with handles to increase storage space. When you want to install the headlight 19, insert the fixing buckle 18 into the limiting groove 16, and the magnetic plate 17 will attract the fixing buckle 18, thereby fixing the headlight 19. At the same time, other similar devices using the fixing buckle 18 can also be fixed, thereby increasing the practicality of the scooter 1.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
