[0021] In addition, for any single technical feature described or implied in the embodiments mentioned herein, or any single technical feature shown or implied in the drawings, this application still allows for any combination or deletion between these technical features (or their equivalents) without any technical obstacles, thereby obtaining more other embodiments of the application that may not be directly mentioned herein. In addition, general matters that are already known to those skilled in the art will not be repeated herein.

[0022] Existing scooters, particularly three-wheeled scooters, typically feature a downward-facing arched structure for mounting the front wheel bracket. The front wheel bracket is mounted beneath this arched structure. This often results in a large arched structure to accommodate the front wheel bracket and ensure clearance between the front wheel bracket and the arched structure. This arched structure, however, intrudes significantly on the standing board portion of the scooter's main body and extends a certain height above the standing board. However, as the inventors of this application have discovered, users (e.g., children) tend to stand in front of the standing board when using a scooter. This arched structure, which occupies a significant amount of space in front of the standing board, is not user-friendly. Furthermore, the large front end of such scooters results in a poorly flat scooter body, which reduces freight loading efficiency and increases transportation costs. Furthermore, this scooter structure can make installing the front wheel bracket inconvenient. If consumers need to assemble the scooter themselves after purchase, assembly is difficult.

[0023] In order to improve at least one of the above problems, the present application proposes such a scooter, see Figure 1 In one embodiment shown, the scooter includes: a skateboard body 10, which is mainly used for the user to stand, and can also be used to install a vertical pole 40 and a front wheel bracket 30; a front wheel 20, the scooter may include two front wheels 20, which roll on the ground together with the rear wheel to make the scooter slideable; a front wheel bracket 30, which is connected to the front wheel 20, and the two front wheels 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the front wheel bracket 30, the front wheel 20 can rotate relative to the front wheel bracket 30, and the front wheel bracket 30 can be detachably connected to the top of the skateboard body 10, more specifically, the front wheel bracket 30 can be connected to the top of the front end of the skateboard body 10; a vertical pole 40, which is provided at the front end of the skateboard body 10, and the vertical pole 40 can be used to form a handrail 41 or can be used to install a handrail 41. Figure 1 As can be seen in the figure, the front wheel bracket 30 is installed in front of the upright pole 40, wherein the front wheel bracket 30 can be along Figure 1 The front wheel bracket 30 is installed to the skateboard body 10 in the direction indicated by the dotted line. The dotted line is a straight line, that is, the front wheel bracket 30 can be installed to the skateboard body 10 along the straight line.

[0024] The front wheel bracket 30 can be detachably connected to the skateboard body 10. The front wheel bracket 30 can have a first connecting portion, and the skateboard body 10 can have a second connecting portion. The front wheel bracket and the skateboard body can be detachably connected together through the cooperation of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. For example, the front wheel bracket 30 can be provided with a connecting rod 31 (such as Figure 2 As shown in FIG, the connecting rod 31 can be inserted into the mounting hole 11 on the skateboard body and fixed to the skateboard body 10 by the fixing member 12. When the front wheel bracket 30 is installed in the skateboard body, the direction of the connecting rod 31 is the same as that of the front wheel bracket 30. Figure 1 or Figure 2 The direction of the dotted line in the figure coincides with that in the figure. The connecting rod 31 can be embedded in the front wheel bracket 30 during the injection molding process of the front wheel bracket so as to become one with the front wheel bracket 30. The mounting hole 11 can be a through hole that passes through the skateboard body 10, and the connecting rod 31 is inserted from the upper end of the mounting hole 11 and passes through the mounting hole 11, and is connected to the skateboard body 10 via the fixing member 12. Specifically, the connecting rod 31 can be a rod with an internal thread, and the fixing member 12 can be a screw, and the fixing member 12 is threadedly connected to the inside of the connecting rod 31 to achieve the connection between the front wheel bracket 30 and the skateboard body 10. Optionally, the connecting rod 31 can be a rod with an external thread, and the corresponding fixing member 12 can be a nut. Optionally, a bearing can be provided in the mounting hole 11 to cooperate with the connecting rod 31.

[0025] In another embodiment, similarly, the front wheel bracket 30 may be provided with a mounting hole 11, and the skateboard body may be provided with a connecting rod 31. Through the cooperation of the mounting hole 11 and the connecting rod 31, the front wheel bracket 30 can be connected to the skateboard body 10, and the connecting rod 31 can be fixed by the fixing member 12.

[0026] from Figure 1 It can be further seen that the front end of the skateboard body 10 has only a small raised portion 15, which is used to install the upright pole 40 and the front wheel bracket 30. Since the front wheel bracket 30 is located above the raised portion 15 in the solution of the present application, the raised portion 15 does not need to leave a mounting position and necessary clearance for the front wheel bracket 30, so the size of the raised portion 15 can be made smaller. Figure 1-4 It can also be seen that the raised portion 15 does not need to partially or completely surround the front wheel bracket 30. Compared with the arched structure of the conventional scooter described above, which reserves a mounting position for the front wheel bracket, the mating surface between the raised portion 15 and the front wheel bracket 30 of the present application does not surround or enclose the front wheel bracket 30.

[0027] from Figure 1As can be seen in the figure, the raised portion 15 has a mating surface 16 for mating with the front wheel bracket 30. The mating surface 16 is inclined upward toward the direction of travel of the scooter. For example, in a non-sliding or unstressed state, the mating surface 16 may not contact the front wheel bracket 30; however, in certain sliding states, the mating surface 16 may contact or partially contact the front wheel bracket 30. The mating surface 16 is generally planar or may have a certain curvature, which may correspond to the front wheel bracket 30. The main portion of the mating surface 16 forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane (or the plane of the skateboard body 10). The angle is approximately between 10 and 60 degrees, for example, between 15 and 45 degrees, such as 30 degrees or 20 degrees.

[0028] The scooter further comprises an elastic member 13. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As can be seen in the embodiment of FIG, the scooter can have two elastic members 13, which are located at the front end of the skateboard body 10, with the two ends of each elastic member 13 respectively abutting the skateboard body 10 and the front wheel bracket 30. After the scooter is assembled, when the scooter is not sliding or under no force, the elastic members 13 can keep the main direction of the front wheel bracket (or the direction of the axis of the front wheel) and the main direction of the skateboard body (or the forward direction of the scooter) substantially perpendicular when the scooter is at rest or sliding in the forward direction. The elastic members 13 can twist and deform when the scooter turns, thereby enabling the scooter to turn. When the steering force is released, the elastic members 13 can automatically return to their original shape. Figure 1 The two elastic members 13 are symmetrical about the mounting hole 11. In other embodiments, the scooter may also have an elastic member coaxially arranged with the connecting rod.

[0029] Figure 3 The figure shows the position of the fixing member 12 at the bottom of the skateboard body 10, wherein the bottom of the skateboard body may be provided with a countersunk hole, and the fixing member 12 is located in the countersunk hole to avoid protruding from the bottom surface of the skateboard body 10, thereby preventing the fixing member 12 from scratching the external environment during sliding.

[0030] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the assembled scooter is shown. In the technical solution of the present application, the skateboard body 10 of the scooter is relatively flatter. During transportation, the front wheel bracket 30 connected to the front wheel can be removed, the skateboard body 10 occupies less space, and the loading capacity can be increased. In addition, the assembly process of the front wheel bracket 30 and the skateboard body is very simple. Just align the connecting rod 31 with the mounting hole 11 and insert it, and then connect it with the fixing part 12 (such as a screw or a nut). The steps are simple, and the visibility of the assembly process is very good. The operator can easily observe the assembly position, which is conducive to quick assembly. Furthermore, the raised portion 15 at the front of the skateboard body 10 is small in size, leaving more standing space for the front end of the skateboard body. The user can stand in the standing position 14 (such as Figure 2As shown in FIG, the upper portion of the upper portion of the second embodiment can be closer to the vertical pole 40, which is more in line with human usage habits.

Those skilled in the art may readily make various modifications or variations to the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention. It should be understood that such modifications or variations are intended to be within the scope of the present invention.
