[0035] 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.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10This utility model provides a folding scooter, which includes a directional component 1, a rotating component, and a scooter body connected to the rotating component. The directional component 1 is rotatably connected to the rotating component. The rotating component includes a rotating shaft 2 and a rotating tube 3. The rotating shaft 2 is sleeved on the rotating tube 3, and the rotating shaft 2 is detachably connected to the directional component 1.
[0037] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A corresponding rotating component and a directional component 1 are provided. The rotating component includes a rotating shaft 2 and a rotating tube 3. Since the rotating shaft 2 is detachably connected to the directional component 1, when the folding scooter needs to be folded, the rotating shaft 2 and the directional component 1 can be disassembled and separated to create a gap between them. Based on this, since the directional component 1 and the rotating component are rotatably connected, the directional component 1 can be rotated relative to the rotating component, thereby folding the directional component 1 (e.g., folding the scooter). Figure 6 (as shown), in order to reduce the space occupied by the folding scooter of this utility model when carrying and storing.
[0038] In practical applications, for example, assuming that the directional component 1 extends vertically before folding, rotating it (e.g., by 90 degrees) will cause it to extend horizontally after folding. After rotating the directional component 1 by a certain angle, the pivot 2 can be re-engaged with the directional component 1 to prevent relative movement of the folded component 1, thus maintaining its folded state. Furthermore, to further reduce the space occupied by the folding scooter of this application after folding, the directional component 1 and the rotating component can be rotated horizontally in a certain direction (e.g., 90 degrees) before the aforementioned folding operation (i.e., relative disassembly and rotation of the directional component 1) is performed, further reducing the space occupied by the final folded shape.
[0039] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the directional assembly 1 includes a directional rod 11 and an engaging part 12 connected to each other. The connecting surface of the pivot 2 is provided with an engaging protrusion 21. The directional assembly includes an engaged state and an unlocked state. In the engaged state, the engaging part is engaged with the engaging protrusion. In the unlocked state, the engaging part is separated from the engaging protrusion, that is, the engaging part and the engaging protrusion have a gap to allow rotation.
[0040] As can be seen from the above description, a meshing protrusion 21 is provided on the connecting surface of the rotating shaft 2. The meshing protrusion 21 engages with the meshing part 12, which can improve the stability of the connection between the direction component 1 and the rotating shaft 2 when it is not folded.
[0041] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model includes two engaging protrusions 21, with a gap between the two engaging protrusions 21 to form a groove with the connecting surface.
[0042] As described above, the directional component 1 and the rotating shaft 2 are disassembled, so that there is a certain distance between the directional component 1 and the rotating shaft 2. Then, the directional component 1 is rotated. Since the rotating shaft 2 has a horizontal groove, the directional component 1 can extend and be placed in the horizontal groove in a certain direction (such as the horizontal direction) to achieve the effect of folding and fixing.
[0043] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the direction assembly 1 further includes a retaining member 13, one end of which passes through the engaging part 12 and is connected to the direction rod 11.
[0044] As described above, multiple (e.g., two) abutment members 13 are provided. In the folded state, one end of each abutment member 13 abuts against the corresponding engagement protrusion 21. The engagement protrusion 21 will surround and form a certain abutment groove, thereby holding the abutment member 13 against the abutment groove to improve the connection stability of the directional assembly 1.
[0045] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the rotating assembly further includes a locking component 5, which includes a rotating head 51 and a locking rod 52 connected to each other. The rotating tube 3 has a waist-shaped hole 31, and the rotating shaft 2 has a rotating hole 22. The locking rod 52 passes through the rotating hole 22 and the waist-shaped hole 31 and is connected to the direction assembly 1.
[0046] As described above, the corresponding locking component 5 allows for loosening or tightening. In practical applications, loosening the locking component 5 disassembles the directional assembly 1 and the rotating shaft 2, preventing them from remaining engaged. At this point, a gap exists between the rotating shaft 2 and the directional assembly 1, allowing the directional assembly 1 to rotate. After the directional assembly 1 has rotated a certain angle, the locking component 5 is then tightened to lock the directional assembly 1 and prevent further rotation.
[0047] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the scooter body includes a pedal assembly 4, the pedal assembly 4 includes an anti-slip plate 41 and a pedal shell 42, and the anti-slip plate 41 is disposed on the pedal shell 42. As can be seen from the above description, a corresponding anti-slip plate 41 is provided to prevent slipping.
[0048] Furthermore, in the folding scooter described in this utility model, the scooter body includes a connecting component 6, one end of which is connected to the rotating component, and the other end of which is connected to the pedal component 4.
[0049] 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 rotating tube 3 and the rear wheel 8 is connected to the pedal assembly 4.
[0050] As described above, the front wheel 7 and rear wheel 8 are set accordingly to ensure the effective sliding of the folding scooter.
[0051] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes a brake button, which is connected to the pedal assembly. The brake button is equipped with an indicator light 45. The indicator light 45 serves as a reminder for corresponding operations, such as braking. In practical applications, when braking is required, the brake button 44 is triggered, causing the control module to initiate braking. The control module then controls the motor to brake the rear wheel 8, such as by slowing down the rear wheel 8.
[0052] Furthermore, the folding scooter described in this utility model also includes a handle assembly 9, which is connected to the direction assembly 1.
[0053] As described above, a corresponding handle assembly 9 is provided to enable the folding scooter to be turned and operated.
[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 Embodiment 1 of this utility model is: a folding scooter, which includes a steering assembly 1, a rotating assembly, a scooter body, a handlebar assembly, a front wheel 7, and a rear wheel 8. One end of the steering assembly 1 is connected to the handlebar assembly, and the other end is rotatably connected to the rotating assembly; the rotating assembly is connected to both the scooter body and the front wheel 7, and the scooter body is connected to the rear wheel 8. The following describes the specific implementation of this utility model. Figures 1 to 9 The above components will be described in detail.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the aforementioned directional assembly 1 includes a directional rod 11, an engaging portion 12, and two abutment members 13 connected to each other. The directional rod 11 is generally cylindrical, with one end connected to the handle assembly and the other end connected to the engaging portion 12. The extending direction of the engagement grooves in the engaging portion 12 is the same as the extending direction of the directional rod 11. One end of each of the two abutment members 13 passes through the engaging portion 12 and connects to the directional rod 11.
[0056] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5As shown, the aforementioned rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 2, a rotating tube 3, and a locking component 5. The rotating shaft 2 is sleeved on the rotating tube 3. Two engaging protrusions 21 are provided on the connecting surface of the rotating shaft 2. The two engaging protrusions 21 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting surface of the rotating shaft 2, and there is a gap between the two engaging protrusions 21, so that the two engaging protrusions 21 can close with the connecting surface of the rotating shaft 2 to form a groove. In the folded state, the engaging protrusions 21 engage with the engaging part 12, as shown... Figure 10 As shown, the end of the abutment 13 in the directional assembly 1 away from the directional tube abuts against the engaging protrusion 21, wherein the engaging protrusion 21 corresponds one-to-one with the abutment 13, so that at least a portion of each abutment 13 is engaged by the engaging protrusion 21. In the folded state, the engaging portion 12 in the directional assembly 1 is engaged into the groove formed by the two engaging protrusions 21. The locking member 5 includes a rotating head 51 and a locking rod 52 connected to each other. The rotating tube 3 has a waist-shaped hole 31, and the rotating shaft 2 has a rotating hole 22. The locking rod 52 passes through the rotating hole 22 and the waist-shaped hole 31 and is locked to the directional assembly 1.
[0057] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the scooter body includes a pedal assembly 4 and a connecting assembly 6. The pedal assembly 4 includes an anti-slip plate 41 and a pedal shell 42. The anti-slip plate 41 is mounted on the pedal shell 42. One end of the connecting assembly 6 is connected to a rotating assembly, and the other end is connected to the pedal assembly 4. Furthermore, the folding scooter of this invention also includes a front wheel 7 and a rear wheel 8. The front wheel 7 is connected to a rotating tube 3, and the pedal assembly 4 has a connecting part. The rear wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the connecting part. In this embodiment, a motor, a brake button 44, and a control module are also included. The control module is connected to both the brake button 44 and the motor, and the motor is connected to the rear wheel 8. In practical applications, when braking is required, the brake button 44 is triggered, causing the control module to begin braking. The control module controls the motor to brake the rear wheel 8. An indicator light 45 is also provided on the brake button 44 to provide reminders for corresponding operations, such as braking indication. Correspondingly, a start button 43 is provided on the pedal assembly 4. The start button 43 is electrically connected to the control module. When the start button 43 is activated and the speed of the rear wheel 8 reaches a certain preset value, the folding scooter can start.
[0058] In summary, the folding scooter provided by this utility model includes a rotating component and a directional component. The rotating component comprises a pivot and a rotating tube. Since the pivot and directional component are detachably connected, when the folding scooter needs to be folded, the pivot and directional component can be disassembled to create a gap between them. Furthermore, because the directional component and rotating component are rotatably connected, the directional component can be rotated relative to the rotating component to achieve the effect of folding the directional component relative to the scooter body, thereby reducing space occupation during carrying and storage.
