Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shock absorber technology, specifically relating to a shock absorber stroke adjustment module and a balance vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Unicycles have become a popular mode of transportation for young people due to their ease of operation, compact size, and driving pleasure. When encountering bumpy roads, conventional unicycles use shock-absorbing devices to provide shock absorption. The shock absorption effect is often determined by the shock absorption travel of the device itself, which in turn determines the rebound height of the unicycle.

[0003] Different users often have different preferences for the shock absorber travel setting. Some users who seek excitement prefer a longer shock absorber travel to enjoy the thrill of a higher body rebound height, while others prefer a shorter shock absorber travel to enjoy the sense of security of a lower body rebound height.

[0004] However, existing self-balancing unicycles are divided into two types: those with adjustable shock absorber travel and those with non-adjustable shock absorber travel. Among them, the adjustment of the shock absorber travel of the self-balancing unicycle with adjustable shock absorber travel is often cumbersome and inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a shock-absorbing stroke adjustment module for shock absorbers and a self-balancing vehicle, so as to solve the problem of cumbersome shock-absorbing stroke adjustment of self-balancing vehicle shock absorbers in the prior art.

[0006] One embodiment of this utility model provides a shock absorber stroke adjustment module for a shock absorber. The shock absorber stroke adjustment module is mounted on the frame of a self-balancing scooter, and a wheel assembly is located below the frame. The wheel assembly includes a wheel, and the shock absorber stroke adjustment module includes...

[0007] Shock absorbers are used to reduce the vibration amplitude of the impeller;

[0008] Adjustment components are used to manually adjust the damping stroke of the shock absorber;

[0009] The shock absorber includes a shock absorber element and a shock absorber housing movably connected to the shock absorber element. The adjustment assembly is mounted on the shock absorber housing, and the shock absorber housing is mounted on the wheel assembly.

[0010] It should be noted that this utility model is mounted on a self-balancing scooter. The self-balancing scooter includes a wheel assembly and a frame mounted on the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly includes a wheel, and this utility model is specifically mounted on the frame.

[0011] In this solution, users can manually adjust the shock absorber's damping stroke to the target range by adjusting the adjustment components according to the target vehicle height. No additional operation is required from the user, making the overall operation convenient.

[0012] In one embodiment, an elastic element is also installed on the shock absorber housing.

[0013] It should be noted that the elastic element can be a spring or similar component. The damping stroke of the shock absorber changes with the compression state of the spring. Within the range of motion of the vehicle body, the longer the vehicle body moves downward, the greater the compression of the spring, and the shorter the damping stroke of the shock absorber, and vice versa.

[0014] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes an adjustment member and a mounting member. The adjustment member is movably mounted on the mounting member and is used to adjust the movable position of the shock absorber housing on the shock absorber. The mounting member is used to mount the shock absorber onto the wheel assembly.

[0015] In one embodiment, the adjusting member includes a rotating member and a connecting member. The rotating member is mounted on top of the connecting member, and both the rotating member and the connecting member are movably mounted on the mounting member. The mounting member is provided with a locking screw, which is used to lock the relative position of the rotating member and the mounting member.

[0016] It should be noted that the rotating part can be a knob or screw, the connecting part can be a connecting rod or sleeve, and the locking screw allows the user to lock the rotating part to the mounting part, making it unable to rotate.

[0017] In one embodiment, a limiting component is provided inside the shock absorber, which is used to limit the movement of the shock absorber housing on the shock absorber.

[0018] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a shock-absorbing limiting groove and a shock-absorbing limiting member, the shock-absorbing limiting member being installed in the shock-absorbing limiting groove and fixedly connected to the connecting member.

[0019] It should be noted that the shock-absorbing limiting component achieves synchronous movement with the connecting component through a fixed connection with the connecting component.

[0020] In this solution, the user can directly rotate the knob or screw to drive the connecting rod or sleeve to rotate on the mounting part. When the connecting rod or sleeve rotates, it drives the shock-absorbing limit component to rotate synchronously in the shock-absorbing limit groove.

[0021] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the damping limiting groove is provided with a damping threaded groove, and the outer wall of the damping limiting component is provided with a damping thread that is adapted to the damping threaded groove.

[0022] It should be noted that when the damping limit component rotates in the damping limit groove along with the connecting rod or sleeve, the damping limit component moves in the vertical direction of the damping limit groove with the cooperation of the damping thread and the damping thread groove.

[0023] In this solution, the user can directly rotate the adjusting component to synchronously drive the connecting rod to rotate. The shock-absorbing limiting component installed at the end of the connecting rod rotates in the shock-absorbing thread groove through the shock-absorbing thread and moves in the vertical direction. When the shock-absorbing limiting component rises to the top of the shock-absorbing limiting groove, the user continues to rotate the adjusting component. The shock-absorbing limiting component will cause the shock absorber to rise as a whole. However, since the shock absorber is installed on the wheel assembly, the wheel assembly cannot be raised. Therefore, the connecting rod will move downward, thereby driving the entire adjusting component to move downward, and finally driving the shock absorber housing to move downward, thereby reducing the shock absorber's damping stroke. The reverse is also true.

[0024] In one embodiment, the mounting component includes a first mounting component and a second mounting component, wherein the first mounting component is located at the top of the shock absorber and the second mounting component is located at the bottom of the shock absorber.

[0025] It should be noted that the first mounting component is specifically installed on the vehicle body, and the second mounting component is specifically installed on the wheel limiter, and the first mounting component and the second mounting component are in the same position in the vertical direction.

[0026] In this design, the use of a first mounting component and a second mounting component enhances the securing effect of the shock absorber and adjustment assembly on the unicycle, providing greater stability compared to a single mounting component.

[0027] In one embodiment, the rotating component is rotatably connected to the top of the first mounting component, and the first mounting component has a connection position adapted to the connecting component.

[0028] In one embodiment, the shock absorber is mounted on the second mounting member, and the second mounting member has a body groove adapted to the shock absorber housing.

[0029] Another embodiment of this utility model provides a self-balancing vehicle, including a wheel assembly, a self-balancing control system disposed within the wheel assembly, a frame mounted on the wheel assembly, a housing disposed above the frame, a battery assembly disposed on the frame, a drive system disposed on the frame, and further including the aforementioned shock-absorbing stroke adjustment module device for shock absorbers.

[0030] In this solution, users can directly adjust the shock absorber's shock absorber stroke through a shock absorber stroke adjustment module. During the adjustment of the shock absorber stroke, the height of the frame moves synchronously with the adjustment of the shock absorber stroke. When the shock absorber stroke increases, the height of the frame rises, and vice versa. Attached Figure Description

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1-3 In one embodiment, a damping stroke adjustment module for a shock absorber is provided, including...

[0040] Shock absorber 1 is used to reduce the vibration amplitude of the unicycle;

[0041] Adjustment component 2 is used to manually adjust the damping stroke of shock absorber 1;

[0042] The shock absorber 1 includes a shock absorber 12 and a shock absorber housing 11 movably connected to the shock absorber 12, and the adjustment assembly 2 is installed on the shock absorber housing 11.

[0043] It should be noted that this utility model is mounted on a self-balancing scooter. The self-balancing scooter includes a wheel assembly 25 and a frame 26 mounted on the wheel assembly 25. The wheel assembly includes a wheel, and this utility model is specifically mounted on the frame 26.

[0044] In this solution, the user can adjust the shock absorber 1 to the target range by manually adjusting the adjustment component 2 according to the target vehicle height. No additional operation is required from the user, making the overall operation convenient.

[0045] In one embodiment, an elastic element is also installed on the shock absorber 12, and the elastic element is installed on the shock absorber housing 1.

[0046] It should be noted that the elastic element can be a spring 24 or a similar component. The damping stroke of the shock absorber 1 changes with the compression state of the spring 24. Within the range of motion of the vehicle body, the longer the vehicle body moves downward, the greater the compression of the spring 24, and the shorter the damping stroke of the shock absorber 1, and vice versa.

[0047] In one embodiment, the adjustment assembly 2 includes an adjustment member 21 and a mounting member. The adjustment member 21 is movably mounted on the mounting member and is used to adjust the movable position of the shock absorber housing 11 on the shock absorber 12. The mounting member is used to mount the shock absorber 1 onto the wheel assembly 25.

[0048] In one embodiment, the adjusting member 21 includes a rotating member 211 and a connecting member 212. The rotating member 211 is mounted on the top of the connecting member 212. Both the rotating member 211 and the connecting member 212 are movably mounted on the mounting member. The mounting member is provided with a locking screw, which is used to lock the relative position of the rotating member 211 and the mounting member.

[0049] It should be noted that the rotating part 211 can be a knob or screw, the connecting part 212 can be a connecting rod or sleeve, and the locking screw allows the user to lock the rotating part 211 onto the mounting part, preventing it from rotating.

[0050] In one embodiment, a limiting component is provided inside the shock absorber 12, which is used to limit the movement of the shock absorber housing 11 on the shock absorber 12.

[0051] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a shock-absorbing limiting groove 121 and a shock-absorbing limiting member 122. The shock-absorbing limiting member 122 is installed in the shock-absorbing limiting groove 121 and is fixedly connected to the connecting member 212.

[0052] It should be noted that the shock-absorbing limiting component 122 achieves synchronous movement with the connecting component 212 through a fixed connection with the connecting component 212.

[0053] In this solution, the user can directly rotate the knob or screw to drive the connecting rod or sleeve to rotate on the mounting part. When the connecting rod or sleeve rotates, it drives the shock-absorbing limiter 122 to rotate synchronously in the shock-absorbing limiter groove 121.

[0054] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the damping limiting groove 121 is provided with a damping thread groove, and the outer wall of the damping limiting member 122 is provided with a damping thread that is adapted to the damping thread groove.

[0055] It should be noted that when the damping limiter 122 rotates in the damping limiter groove 121 following the connecting rod or sleeve, the damping limiter 122 moves in the vertical direction of the damping limiter groove 121 with the cooperation of the damping thread and the damping thread groove.

[0056] In this solution, the user can directly rotate the adjusting component 21 to synchronously drive the connecting rod to rotate. The shock-absorbing limiting component 122 installed at the end of the connecting rod rotates in the shock-absorbing thread groove through the shock-absorbing thread and moves in the vertical direction. When the shock-absorbing limiting component 122 rises to the top of the shock-absorbing limiting groove 121, the user continues to rotate the adjusting component 21. The shock-absorbing limiting component 122 will cause the shock absorber 12 to rise as a whole. However, since the shock absorber 12 is installed on the wheel assembly 25, it cannot be lifted. Therefore, the connecting rod will drive the entire adjusting component 21 to move downward, thereby driving the shock absorber housing 11 to move downward, thereby reducing the shock absorption stroke of the shock absorber 1. The reverse is also true.

[0057] In one embodiment, the mounting component includes a first mounting component 22 and a second mounting component 23, wherein the first mounting component 22 is located at the top of the shock absorber 1 and the second mounting component 23 is located at the bottom of the shock absorber 1.

[0058] It should be noted that the first mounting part 22 is specifically mounted on the vehicle body, and the second mounting part 23 is specifically mounted on the wheel limiter, and the first mounting part 22 and the second mounting part 23 are in the same position in the vertical direction.

[0059] In this design, the first mounting component 22 and the second mounting component 23 can enhance the fastening effect of the shock absorber 1 and the adjustment component 2 on the unicycle, and provide greater stability compared to a single mounting component.

[0060] In one embodiment, the rotating member 211 is rotatably connected to the top of the first mounting member 22, and the first mounting member 22 has a connecting groove adapted to the connecting member 212.

[0061] In one embodiment, the shock absorber 12 is mounted on the second mounting member 23, and the second mounting member 23 has a body groove adapted to the shock absorber housing 1.

[0062] In another embodiment, a self-balancing vehicle is provided, including a wheel assembly 25, a self-balancing control system disposed within the wheel assembly 25, a frame 26 mounted on the wheel assembly 25, a housing disposed above the frame 26, a battery assembly disposed on the frame 26, a drive system disposed on the frame 26, and also including the aforementioned shock absorber stroke adjustment module device.

[0063] In this solution, the user can directly adjust the shock absorber stroke of the balance scooter through a shock absorber stroke adjustment module device. During the adjustment of the shock absorber stroke, the height of the frame 26 moves synchronously with the adjustment of the shock absorber stroke. When the shock absorber stroke increases, the height of the frame 26 rises, and vice versa.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
