Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of go-karts, in particular to a go-kart with a protective buffer structure. Background Art

[0002] At present, go-karts are very popular among the public as a recreational project with good driving control performance. However, as a low-slung vehicle, the driver lacks protection in the seat. In addition, there are often tracks on the go-kart track. The vehicle can easily hit obstacles while driving, causing injuries to the vehicle or the driver. Therefore, it is necessary to protect the go-kart and the driver. At present, the protection of the go-kart and the driver is generally to add a buffer structure to protect the vehicle. However, such a protection structure does not provide sufficient protection coverage for the vehicle and personnel. For example, the published patent 2019106194732 discloses a go-kart body and a go-kart, and a buffer shock-absorbing component is added to the go-kart. However, such a component is sufficient for the front protection of the vehicle, but is insufficient for the side protection of the vehicle and personnel. Once a collision occurs, the driver and passengers are easily injured. Therefore, it is particularly important to solve the problem of insufficient side protection of the go-kart. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a kart with a protective buffer structure, which provides protection for the sides of the kart through the guard plates and buffer bars arranged on the sides, and protects the engine through the protective bars. A counterweight slot is provided to increase the counterweight when needed to ensure the stability of the vehicle. At the same time, when the vehicle overturns due to excessive speed, the support plates are disengaged to provide support on the left and right sides, thereby solving the problem of insufficient side protection of current karts.

[0004] The utility model provides a go-kart with a protective buffer structure, comprising a body, wheels, a seat, an engine and a steering wheel, wherein the wheels are arranged on both sides of the body, the seat is arranged in the middle of the body, the engine is arranged behind the seat and is connected to the rear wheels through a transmission device, the steering wheel is arranged in front of the seat and is connected to the front wheels through a steering device, guard plates are arranged on the body on both sides of the seat, buffer bars are arranged at the lower ends of the guard plates, buffer springs are arranged between the buffer bars and the guard plates, and a protective pad is arranged at the upper ends of the guard plates.

[0005] A further improvement is that: protective bars are provided on both sides of the engine, and fixing slots are provided on the protective bars. The protrusions on the engine are inserted into the fixing slots to fix the engine.

[0006] A further improvement is that a trolley handle is provided in the middle of the vehicle body, a brake handle is provided on the trolley handle, and the brake handle is connected to the brake system on the wheel via a pull wire.

[0007] A further improvement is that a collision avoidance buffer block is provided at the front of the vehicle body to protect the vehicle body.

[0008] A further improvement is that counterweight slots are provided on both sides of the vehicle body, and the stability of the entire vehicle is achieved by adding counterweights into the counterweights.

[0009] A further improvement is that a support plate is provided on the guard plate, the lower end of the support plate is connected to the guard plate through a rotating shaft, and the upper end of the support plate is connected to the guard plate through a buckle.

[0010] A further improvement is that a sponge stopper is provided between the middle section of the support plate and the guard plate, so as to apply an external elastic force to the support plate when the buckle at the upper end of the support plate is disengaged.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the side guard plates and buffer bars provided on the sides provide protection for the sides of the go-kart, the engine is protected by the guard bars, counterweight slots are provided to add counterweights when needed to ensure vehicle stability, and at the same time, when the vehicle overturns due to excessive speed, the support plates are disengaged to provide support on the left and right sides, thereby avoiding greater losses caused by vehicle overturning and improving protection for the go-kart and the driver.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. The embodiments are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] like Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment provides a go-kart with a protective buffer structure. It comprises a body 1, wheels 2, seats 3, an engine 4, and a steering wheel 5. The body 1 supports the wheels 2, seat 3, engine 4, and steering wheel 5 to achieve driving. Guard plates 6 are provided on the body 1 on both sides of the seat 3. Buffer bars 7 are provided at the lower ends of the guard plates 6. Buffer springs 8 are provided between the buffer bars 7 and the guard plates 6. A protective pad 9 is provided on the upper ends of the guard plates 6. The side guard plates 6 and buffer bars 7 provide side protection for the go-kart. Protective bars 10 are provided on both sides of the engine 4. These protective bars 10 have fixing slots 11. Protrusions on the engine 4 engage with the fixing slots 11 to secure the engine 4. The protective bars 10 protect the engine 4. A push handle 12 is provided in the middle of the body 1. A brake handle 13 is provided on the push handle 12. The brake handle 13 is connected to the brake system on the wheels 2 via a cable. The front part of the vehicle body 1 is provided with an anti-collision buffer block 14, which protects the vehicle body 1. Counterweight slots 15 are provided on both sides of the vehicle body 1, and the stability of the whole vehicle is achieved by adding counterweights into the counterweights 15. The counterweight slots 15 are provided to increase the counterweight when needed to ensure the stability of the vehicle. A support plate 16 is provided on the guard plate 6, and the lower end of the support plate 16 is connected to the guard plate 6 through a rotating shaft 17, and the upper end of the support plate 16 is connected to the guard plate 6 through a buckle 18. A sponge stopper 19 is provided between the middle section of the support plate 16 and the guard plate 6, and an external elastic force is applied to the support plate 16 when the upper end of the support plate 16 is disengaged from the buckle 18. In the event that the vehicle overturns at too fast a speed, the support plate 16 is disengaged to support the left and right sides, thereby avoiding greater losses caused by the vehicle overturning and improving the protection of the kart and the driver.

[0019] Working principle: the engine 4 is connected to the rear wheel 2 through a transmission device to provide power for the kart, while the steering wheel 5 is connected to the front wheel 2 through a steering device to control the direction of the kart, and the driver sits on the seat 3. Once a collision occurs during the kart's driving, the impact force from the front is unloaded and buffered by the anti-collision buffer block 14, and the impact force generated from the side is protected by the guard plate 6. At the same time, the buffer lever 7 first contacts the foreign object, and then the buffer spring 8 is used to unload and buffer the force, thereby reducing the impact force and protecting the kart and the driver.

[0020] When the driver is underweight, counterweights are added to the counterweight slots 15 to increase the weight of the vehicle and ensure the vehicle's grip. At the same time, in the event of a collision, since the support plate 16 is connected by the buckle 18, the buckle 18 will loosen when the vehicle is subjected to impact force. At the same time, the sponge block 19 applies an external elastic force to the middle section of the support plate 16. Therefore, when the buckle 18 loosens, the support plate 16 will open and extend outward to support the entire vehicle body 1, thereby improving safety.
