[0038] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13 This utility model provides a folding scooter, which includes a direction component 1, a first connector 2, a second connector 3, and a pedal component 4. One end of the first connector 2 is connected to the direction component 1, and the other end of the first connector 2 is rotatably connected to the second connector 3. The end of the second connector 3 away from the first connector 2 is connected to the pedal component 4. The first connector 2 is provided with a retaining shaft 21, and the second connector 3 is provided with a first retaining groove 31 and a second retaining groove 32 adapted to the retaining shaft 21.

[0040] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In the folding scooter described in this utility model, if the folding scooter is in an undisturbed state, the locking shaft 21 is located in the first locking slot 31; if the folding scooter is in a fully folded state, the locking shaft 21 is located in the second locking slot 32. In practical applications, since the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3 are rotatably connected, when folding is required, an external force can be applied to components such as the direction assembly 1 or the pedal assembly 4 to fold it. Assuming an external force is applied to the direction assembly 1, the direction assembly 1 drives the first connecting member 2 to rotate towards the pedal assembly 4. At this time, the first connecting member rotates relative to the second connecting member, and the locking shaft 21 located in the first locking slot 31 will move from the first locking slot 31 to the second locking slot 32 along with the first connecting member 2. When the locking shaft 21 is located in the second locking slot 32, the folding scooter is in a folded state, thereby achieving effective folding of the folding scooter and reducing its space occupation.

[0041] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes a locking component 5, which includes a locking body 51 and a pressing component 52. The locking body 51 is rotatably connected to the first connecting component 2, and the pressing component 52 is disposed on the locking body 51.

[0042] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the pressing member 52 is provided with a hook 53, and the first connecting member 2 is provided with a connecting shaft 22; wherein, the locking member has a locked state and an unlocked state; in the locked state, the hook 53 is hooked on the connecting shaft 22; in the unlocked state, the hook 53 is separated from the connecting shaft 22.

[0043] As described above, a hook 53 is provided on the pressing member 52. By pressing / releasing the pressing member 52, the hook 53 can be separated from the connecting shaft 22 and latched, thereby unlocking and locking the locking member 5. Based on the locking member 5, the fixed matching relationship between the first connecting member 2 and the second connecting member 3 can be further unlocked or locked. Specifically, when the locking member 5 is unlocked, that is, the hook 53 is separated from the connecting shaft 22, the locking member 5 is rotated towards the pedal assembly 4, which causes the locking member 5 to drive the adjustment mechanism 9 to move. In turn, the adjustment mechanism 9 drives the locking shaft 21 to move away from the bottom of the first slot 31 / second slot 32. At this time, in conjunction with the rotation of the first connecting member 2 / second connecting member 3, the locking shaft 21 can smoothly come out of the first slot 31 / second slot 32, so that the locking shaft 21 can rotate with the first connecting member / second connecting member to move into another slot. When the locking fastener 5 is locked, the hook 53 is hooked on the connecting shaft 22, and one end of the adjusting mechanism 9 abuts against the locking shaft 21. At this time, the locking shaft 21 is limited by the adjusting mechanism 9 in the first locking groove 31 / second locking groove 32 to prevent it from sliding out of the first locking groove 31 / second locking groove 32.

[0044] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes a limiting shaft 33, which is disposed on the second connecting member 3, and the first connecting member 2 abuts against the limiting shaft 33.

[0045] As can be seen from the above description, by setting a corresponding limiting shaft 33, when the first connecting member 2 rotates relative to the second connecting member 3, the upper part of the first connecting member 2 abuts against the limiting shaft 33, which facilitates relative rotation.

[0046] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes two baffles 34, both of which are disposed on the pedal assembly, and there is a gap between the two baffles 34. The second connecting member 3 is disposed between the two baffles.

[0047] In practical applications, the second connecting member 3 and the baffle 34 are arranged one-to-one, with the second connecting member 3 located within the internal space of the baffle 34 to protect it. Furthermore, by providing two opposing baffles 34, the front wheel 7 of the folding scooter of this invention can be correspondingly housed between the two baffles 34 of the second connecting member 3 when the folding scooter is folded, thus limiting the movement of the front wheel 7 and preventing it from moving erratically.

[0048] Furthermore, in the folding scooter of this utility model, the directional assembly includes a directional rod 11 and a connecting tube 12. The connecting tube 12 is provided with a receiving cavity 13 for accommodating the directional rod, and one end of the directional rod is detachably connected to the connecting tube.

[0049] As can be seen from the above description, when in the folded state, the space occupied by the direction assembly 1 can be reduced by removing the direction rod 11 and placing it into the receiving cavity 13.

[0050] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes a handle assembly 6, which is connected to the end of the steering rod away from the connecting tube.

[0051] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the handle assembly 6 includes a steering rod 61 and a handle 62, the steering rod 61 is connected to the direction rod, and the handle 62 is detachably connected to the steering rod 61.

[0052] As described above, the handle 62 is detachably connected to the steering rod 61, so that the handle 62 can be removed from the steering rod 61 when in the folded state, further reducing the space occupied.

[0053] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes a front wheel 7 and a rear wheel 8, wherein the front wheel 7 is connected to the steering assembly 1 and the rear wheel 8 is connected to the pedal assembly 4.

[0054] As described above, the front wheel 7 and rear wheel 8 are set accordingly to ensure the effective sliding of the folding scooter.

[0055] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the pedal assembly 4 includes a housing 41 and an anti-slip pad 42, the anti-slip pad 42 being disposed on the housing 41.

[0056] As can be seen from the above description, the anti-slip mat 42 is provided so that users can stand on it and ensure their safety.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 13Embodiment 1 of this utility model is a folding scooter, which can be folded for transportation or carrying and unfolded into its normal form for normal use. The folding scooter includes a handlebar assembly 6, a steering assembly 1, a first connecting member 2, a second connecting member 3, a pedal assembly 4, and a tire assembly. One end of the steering assembly 1 is connected to the handlebar assembly 6, and the other end is connected to the first connecting member 2. One end of the second connecting member 3 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 2, and the other end is connected to the pedal assembly 4. The tire assembly includes a front wheel 7 and a rear wheel 8. The front wheel 7 is connected to the steering assembly 1, and the rear wheel 8 is connected to the pedal assembly 4.

[0058] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 As shown, the aforementioned handle assembly 6 includes a steering rod 61 and two handles 62. The steering rod 61 is connected to the steering rod 11 in the steering assembly 1, and the two handles 62 are connected by a spring that passes through the inner cavity of the steering rod 61. During normal use, the two handles 62 are locked onto the steering rod 61 via corresponding threaded structures. In the folded state, the two handles 62 are detached from the steering rod 61. Figure 8 As shown, the aforementioned directional assembly 1 includes a directional rod 11 and a connecting pipe 12. The connecting pipe 12 has a receiving cavity 13 for receiving the directional rod. One end of the directional rod 11 is detachably connected to the connecting pipe 12.

[0059] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting member 2 is provided with a retaining shaft 21, and the first connecting member includes two connecting plates, which are arranged opposite each other at a certain distance. Each connecting plate is provided with an oblong hole 23, and the two oblong holes 23 are arranged correspondingly. The two ends of the retaining shaft 21 are respectively located in the two oblong holes 23. The first connecting member 2 is also provided with a locking member 5, which includes a locking body 51 and a pressing member 52. The locking body 51 is rotatably connected to the first connecting member 2, and the pressing member 52 is provided on the locking body 51 and has a hook lug 53. Correspondingly, the first connecting member 2 is provided with a connecting shaft 22 connecting the two connecting plates. The locking member has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the hook lug is hooked on the connecting shaft. In the unlocked state, the hook lug is separated from the connecting shaft.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 , Figure 9 as well as Figure 11As shown, there are two second connecting members 3, with a gap between the two first connecting members 2. Each second connecting member 3 corresponds to a connecting plate, and both second connecting members 3 are fixedly connected to the extension of the pedal assembly 4. The second connecting member 3 has a first slot 31 and a second slot 32 that mate with the retaining shaft 21. The second slot 32 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and the openings of the first slot 31 and the second slot 32 form a certain angle. When not folded, the retaining shaft 21 is located in the first slot 31; when folded, the retaining shaft 21 is located in the second slot 32.

[0061] Furthermore, this utility model also includes an adjustment mechanism 9, which is connected to the aforementioned locking element 5. The adjustment mechanism 9 includes a bolt 91, a connecting rod 92, and a support rod 93. The bolt 91 passes through the connecting rod 92 and connects to the support rod 93. The connecting rod 92 is connected to the locking element 5, and the end of the support rod 93 away from the connecting rod 92 is connected to the retaining shaft 21 by a screw (not shown) (corresponding screw holes can be opened on the connecting surfaces of the support rod 93 and the retaining shaft 21) so that when the support rod 93 moves up and down, it can drive the retaining shaft 21 to move up and down, preventing the support rod 93 from driving the retaining shaft 21 to rotate. In practical applications, such as... Figure 6 , Figure 12 as well as Figure 13 As shown, since one end of bolt 91 is connected to the support rod 93 through the connecting rod 92, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the retaining shaft 21 in the retaining groove, the operator can rotate bolt 91 to move bolt 91 up and down relative to the connecting rod 92, thereby driving the support rod 93 to rotate and move up and down relative to the connecting rod 92. For example, when the support rod 93 moves downward, since one end of the support rod 93 is connected to the retaining shaft 21, the retaining shaft 21 moves downward (i.e., moves towards the bottom of the groove) in the opening of the first retaining groove 31 / second retaining groove 32, making it difficult for the retaining shaft 21 to slip out of the first retaining groove 31 / second retaining groove 32. This readjusts the tightness of the retaining shaft 21 of the first connecting member 2 in the opening of the first retaining groove 31 / second retaining groove 32 of the second connecting member 3, strengthens the cooperation between the two, and prevents the reliability and durability of the folding scooter from deteriorating due to excessive wear. In addition, it should be noted that the locking element 5 can be rotated before rotating the bolt 91 so that there is enough operating space for rotating the bolt 91.

[0062] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 as well as Figure 4As shown, the folding scooter of this utility model also includes a limiting shaft 33 and two baffles 34 connected to the pedal assembly 4. The limiting shaft 33 is mounted on the second connecting member 3, and the first connecting member 2 abuts against the limiting shaft 33. The two baffles 34 are spaced apart and positioned opposite each other. Furthermore, the pedal assembly 4 includes a housing 41 and an anti-slip pad 42, with the anti-slip pad 42 mounted on the housing 41. The pedal assembly 4 also includes a motor, a brake button 43, and a control module. The control module is connected to both the brake button 43 and the motor, and the motor is connected to the rear wheel 8. In practical applications, when braking is required, the brake button 43 is triggered, causing the control module to initiate braking. The control module then controls the motor to brake the rear wheel 8. An indicator light 44 is also provided on the brake button to provide reminders for corresponding operations, such as braking indication. Correspondingly, an activation button 45 is provided on the pedal assembly 4. The activation button 45 is electrically connected to the control module. When the activation button is activated and the speed of the rear wheel 8 reaches a certain preset value, the folding scooter can start.

[0063] In summary, the folding scooter provided by this utility model has the following advantages: (1) The folding scooter of this utility model can be folded, and occupies less space when folded, making it easy to store and move over long distances. Specifically, the first and second connecting parts enable the directional component to rotate relative to the pedal component, thereby simplifying storage. (2) In the folded state, the front wheel connected to the directional component of the folding scooter of this utility model can be correspondingly accommodated between the two baffles for limiting, thereby preventing the front wheel from moving randomly. (3) Since one end of the bolt is connected to the connecting rod and the support rod, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the locking pin in the slot, the operator can control the connecting rod to move up and down by rotating the bolt. When the connecting rod moves down, since one end of the connecting rod abuts against the locking pin, the locking pin moves down in the slot of the above-mentioned slot, thereby readjusting the tightness of the locking pin of the first connecting part in the slot of the second connecting part, strengthening the cooperation between the two, and preventing the reliability and durability of the folding scooter from deteriorating due to excessive wear.

[0064] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
