[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle.

[0027] A steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle comprises a frame 1 and a cam 2. The rear end of the frame 1 is rotatably provided with a rear wheel shaft 3. Both sides of the rear wheel shaft 3 can be provided with rear wheels 4. A weight rack 5 is provided in the middle of the frame 1. The front end of the frame 1 is rotatably provided with a wire pull shaft 6. A wire pull ring 7 is provided on the wire pull shaft 6. A gear reduction mechanism 8 is rotatably provided on the frame 1. The two ends of the wire pull shaft 6 are respectively provided with a first gear 9 and a second gear 10. The rear wheel 4 is connected to a third gear. 11, the first gear 9 is transmission-connected with the third gear 11, the second gear 10 is meshed with the input end of the gear reduction mechanism 8, the output end of the gear reduction mechanism 8 is connected with a cam 2, the front end of the frame 1 is rotatably provided with a steering shaft 12 in the vertical direction, the bottom of the steering shaft 12 is rotatably provided with a steering wheel 13, the top of the steering shaft 12 is provided with a connecting block 14, the connecting block 14 is connected to a contact rod 15, and the contact rod 15 is arranged corresponding to the outer contour of the cam 2.

[0028] The utility model is provided with a weight rack 5 in the middle of the frame 1, and a wire drawing shaft 6 is rotatably provided at the front end of the frame 1, and a wire drawing ring 7 is provided on the wire drawing shaft 6. When the weight falls from the weight rack 5, it can drive the wire drawing shaft 6 to rotate. A first gear 9 and a second gear 10 are respectively provided at both ends of the wire drawing shaft 6. The rear wheel 4 is connected with a third gear 11. The first gear 9 is transmission-connected with the third gear 11. The rotation of the wire drawing shaft 6 drives one of the rear wheels 4 to rotate, and then drives the other rear wheel 4 to rotate through the rear wheel shaft 3. The second gear 10 is engaged with the input end of the gear reduction mechanism 8, and the output end of the gear reduction mechanism 8 is connected with a cam 2. After the second gear 10 is decelerated by the gear reduction mechanism 8, it drives the cam 2 to rotate.

[0029] The steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle described in this embodiment comprises a gear reduction mechanism 8 including a fourth gear 16, a fifth gear 17, and a sixth gear 18. The number of teeth of the second gear 10 and the number of teeth of the fifth gear 17 are both smaller than the number of teeth of the fourth gear 16 and the number of teeth of the sixth gear 18. The fourth gear 16 and the sixth gear 18 are both rotatably connected to the vehicle frame 1. The fifth gear 17 is disposed in the middle of the fourth gear 16. The fourth gear 16 meshes with the second gear 10, and the fifth gear 17 meshes with the sixth gear 18. The middle portion of the cam 2 is connected to the middle portion of the sixth gear 18. Specifically, the second gear 10 and the fourth gear 16 implement a first set of reductions, while the fifth gear 17 and the sixth gear 18 implement a second set of reductions. Through the first and second sets of reductions, the reduction ratio is high. One rotation of the cam 2 corresponds to a longer distance traveled by the vehicle, thereby meeting the vehicle's need to travel a longer, specific, and irregular trajectory. The overall structure is simple, convenient to assemble, and easy to maintain.

[0030] In the steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle described in this embodiment, a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft are rotatably provided on the vehicle frame 1.

Specifically, the above structure has good stability and a simple structure.

[0031] In the steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle of this embodiment, the second gear 10, the fourth gear 16, and the sixth gear 18 are sequentially raised in height. Specifically, the cam 2 is of a certain size and has a large rotation radius. The above effectively raises the height of the cam 2, providing the cam 2 with more rotation space, allowing the cam 2 to rotate smoothly.

[0032] In the steerable carbon-free potential energy trolley of this embodiment, the weight frame 5 includes two weight rods 19, a pulley shaft 20 is provided between the two weight rods 19, the pulley shaft 20 is located at the top of the weight rods 19, and a fixed pulley 27 is provided on the pulley shaft 20. Specifically, the above arrangement has a simple structure and good stability.

[0033] In the steerable carbon-free potential energy trolley of this embodiment, the weight rack 5 includes two weight shafts 21, which together with two weight rods 19 form a receiving space. Specifically, the above arrangement can guide the falling of the weight.

[0034] In some embodiments, the height of the two weight shafts 21 is slightly lower than the two weight rods 19 to reduce the overall weight of the vehicle body.

[0035] The present embodiment describes a steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle, wherein the vehicle frame 1 includes a base 22, a first side panel 23, a second side panel 24, and a front frame body 25. The first side panel 23 and the second side panel 24 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the base 22, and the front frame body 25 is arranged at the front end of the base 22. Both ends of the rear wheel axle 3 and both ends of the cable shaft 6 are respectively connected to the first side panel 23 and the second side panel 24, and the steering shaft 12 is arranged on the front frame body 25. Specifically, the above structure has good stability for the rear wheel axle 3 and the cable shaft 6. It can be understood that the gear reduction mechanism 8 and the cam 2 are arranged on the first side panel 23 or the second side panel 24.

[0036] In the steerable carbon-free potential energy vehicle described in this embodiment, a micrometer 26 is provided on the connecting block 14. The micrometer 26 passes through the connecting block 14 and is threadedly connected to the connecting block 14. The micrometer 26 is fixedly connected to the contact rod 15.
