[0039] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a go-kart steering structure, which includes a steering wheel 1, a first front wheel 2, a second front wheel 3, a drive wheel 4, a belt drive mechanism 5, a first driven wheel 6, and a second driven wheel 7. The steering wheel 1 is connected to the drive wheel 4. The drive wheel 4, the first driven wheel 6, and the second driven wheel 7 are all fitted within the belt drive mechanism 5. The first driven wheel 6 is connected to the first front wheel 2. The second driven wheel 7 is connected to the second front wheel 3. The rotation angle range of the first front wheel 2 is 0 to 90°. The rotation angle range of the second front wheel 3 is 0 to 90°.

[0041] Specifically, the first front wheel 2 has a rotation angle range of 0 to 90°; the second front wheel 3 has a rotation angle range of 0 to 90°, which solves the problem that traditional go-karts cannot achieve large-angle turns with their front wheels, and meets users' diverse needs for go-kart turning angles.

[0042] The drive wheel 4, the first driven wheel 6, and the second driven wheel 7 are all fitted within the belt drive mechanism 5. After the user disassembles the car body, the drive wheel 4, the first driven wheel 6, the second driven wheel 7, and the belt drive mechanism 5 can be clearly seen, allowing for the inspection and replacement of worn parts, thereby improving the efficiency of repairing the go-kart steering structure. The installation structure of this go-kart steering structure is relatively simple, making it convenient for users to replace worn parts.

[0043] Furthermore, the go-kart steering structure also includes a connecting rod 11; one end of the connecting rod 11 is connected to the steering wheel 1; the other end of the connecting rod 11 is connected to the drive wheel 4.

[0044] Specifically, when the user turns the steering wheel 1, since one end of the connecting rod 11 is connected to the steering wheel 1 and the other end of the connecting rod 11 is connected to the drive wheel 4, the drive wheel 4 will rotate with the steering wheel 1 based on the connecting rod 11.

[0045] Furthermore, the belt drive mechanism 5 includes a chain 54, a nut 51, a first screw 52, ​​and a second screw 53; one end of the first screw 52 is connected to one end of the chain 54, and the other end of the first screw 52 is adapted to one end of the nut 51; one end of the second screw 53 is connected to the other end of the chain 54, and the other end of the second screw 53 is adapted to the other end of the nut 51.

[0046] Specifically, when the user needs to remove the chain 54, the other end of the first screw 52 is disconnected from the nut 51, and the other end of the second screw 53 is disconnected from the other end of the nut 51; when the user needs to assemble and tighten the chain 54, the other end of the first screw 52 is assembled and connected to the nut 51, and the other end of the second screw 53 is assembled and connected to the other end of the nut 51, thus facilitating the user to remove, assemble, and tighten the chain 54.

[0047] When the driving wheel 4 rotates, it drives the chain 54 for transmission. Since the first driven wheel 6 and the second driven wheel 7 are both fitted inside the chain 54, the first driven wheel 6 and the second driven wheel 7 rotate based on the transmission of the chain 54.

[0048] Furthermore, the drive wheel 4 has a first tension wheel 41 and a second tension wheel 42 on each side; the first tension wheel 41 and the second tension wheel 42 are rotatably connected to the belt drive mechanism 5.

[0049] Specifically, the first tensioner 41 and the second tensioner 42 are used to adjust the tension of the belt drive mechanism 5.

[0050] Furthermore, the first driven wheel 6 is provided with a first rotating shaft 61; one end of the first rotating shaft 61 is connected to the first driven wheel 6.

[0051] Furthermore, the go-kart steering structure also includes a first connecting block 8; the first front wheel 2 is connected to the first rotating shaft 61 based on the first connecting block 8.

[0052] When the first driven wheel 6 rotates, one end of the first rotating shaft 61 is connected to the first driven wheel 6, and the first rotating shaft 61 rotates with the first driven wheel 6. One end of the first rotating shaft 61 passes through the first driven wheel 6 and the first fisheye bearing 62 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the first driven wheel 6 and the first fisheye bearing 62. The third connecting shaft 64 passes through the second fisheye bearing 63 and the other end of the first connecting block 8 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the second fisheye bearing 63 and the other end of the first connecting block 8. The first connecting block 8 is connected to the first front wheel 2. When the first rotating shaft 61 rotates with the first driven wheel 6, the third connecting shaft 64, the first connecting block 8, and the first front wheel 2 also rotate with the first driven wheel 6, thereby realizing the rotation of the first front wheel 2. The maximum rotation angle of the first front wheel 2 is 90 degrees. Since the steering structure on the market generally has a steering angle of less than 45 degrees, the rotation angle of the first front wheel 2 can optimize the defect of the steering angle of the steering structure on the market.

[0053] Furthermore, the second driven wheel 7 is provided with a second rotating shaft 71; one end of the second rotating shaft 71 is connected to the second driven wheel 7.

[0054] Furthermore, the go-kart steering structure also includes a second connecting block 9; the second front wheel 3 is connected to the second rotating shaft 71 based on the second connecting block 9.

[0055] Specifically, the go-kart steering structure also includes a third fisheye bearing 72, a fourth fisheye bearing 73, and a fourth connecting shaft 74. One end of the second rotating shaft 71 passes through the second driven wheel 7 and the third fisheye bearing 72 in sequence; one end of the second connecting block 9 passes through the other end of the second rotating shaft 71; and the fourth connecting shaft 74 passes through the other end of the fourth fisheye bearing 73 and the second connecting block 9 in sequence.

[0056] When the second driven wheel 7 rotates, one end of the second rotating shaft 71 is connected to the second driven wheel 7, and the second rotating shaft 71 rotates with the second driven wheel 7. One end of the second rotating shaft 71 passes through the second driven wheel 7 and the third fisheye bearing 72 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the second driven wheel 7 and the third fisheye bearing 72. The fourth connecting shaft 74 passes through the fourth fisheye bearing 73 and the other end of the second connecting block 9 in sequence, and is fixedly connected to the fourth fisheye bearing 73 and the other end of the second connecting block 9. The second connecting block 9 is connected to the second front wheel 3. When the second rotating shaft 71 rotates with the second driven wheel 7, the fourth connecting shaft 74, the second connecting block 9 and the second front wheel 3 also rotate with the second driven wheel 7, thereby realizing the rotation of the second front wheel 3. The maximum rotation angle of the second front wheel 3 is 90 degrees. Since the steering structure on the market generally has a steering angle of less than 45 degrees, the rotation angle of the second front wheel 3 can optimize the defect of the steering angle of the steering structure on the market.

[0057] This utility model provides a go-kart steering structure, in which the first front wheel 2 has a rotation angle range of 0 to 90°, and the second front wheel 3 has a rotation angle range of 0 to 90°. This solves the problem that traditional go-karts cannot achieve large-angle turns with their front wheels, and meets the diverse needs of users for go-kart turning angles.

[0058] Furthermore, the go-kart steering structure provided in the embodiments of this utility model has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
