[0041] The backrest 12 extends from the hinge position 121 to one end of the door 21 and is inclined downward to form an inclined portion 122. The inclination angle of the inclined portion 122 is consistent with the turning angle of the vehicle compartment 20. When the vehicle compartment 20 is turned upward and inclined, the bottom of the vehicle compartment 20 can abut against the inclined portion 122 of the backrest 12 to support the vehicle compartment 20. The top surface of the inclined portion 122 is rotationally provided with a supporting pulley 123 which protrudes from the inclined surface.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 The turnover mechanism comprises a rotating shaft 61, a lever 62 and a clamping plate 63. The rotating shaft 61 is rotatably arranged at the bottom of the compartment 20. One end of the lever 62 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 61, and the other end of the lever 62 extends to one side of the driving position through the front end surface of the compartment 20. Two clamping plates 63 are arranged at the two ends of the rotating shaft 61, and one side of one of the clamping plates 63 is connected to the bottom of the compartment 20 through a spring 64. A clamping groove 631 is formed on the side of the clamping plate 63 facing the rear end of the compartment 20. Lock rods 13 are arranged at the two sides of the front end of the compartment frame 10, and the clamping groove 631 and the lock rods 13 are adapted to be clamped. The user drives the rotating shaft 61 to rotate by pulling the lever 62, thereby driving the two clamping plates 63 on the lever 62 to rotate. The rotation of the clamping plate 63 causes the clamping groove 631 to clamp or separate from the lock rod 13, thereby realizing the connection and separation of the front end of the compartment 20 and the front end of the compartment frame 10. By arranging the spring 64 at least one of the clamping plates 63 and elastically connecting it to the bottom of the compartment 20, a pulling force can be applied to the clamping plate 63 when the clamping plate 63 and the lock rod 13 are clamped, so that the clamping plate 63 can be firmly clamped on the lock rod 13 and is not easy to separate. When the lever 62 is pulled upward, the clamping plate 63 and the lock rod 13 are separated, and at this time the compartment 20 is turned over upward, so that the compartment 20 is inclined and the compartment door 21 is opened.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the compartment 20 is provided with a notch 22 opposite to the clamping plate 63, the width of the notch 22 is consistent with the width of the clamping plate 63, so that the clamping plate 63 does not interfere with the compartment 20 during rotation, and the rotation of the clamping plate 63 is not blocked by the compartment 20.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment, the push rod 62 is in a bent shape, and the bent part of the push rod 62 is in a circular arc transition, which is convenient for users to control.

[0050] The above-mentioned turnover mechanism also adopts a pure mechanical structure, which does not consume energy, can further save the power of the electric tricycle, and improve the endurance of the electric tricycle.

[0051] Working principle:

[0052] When unloading is needed, the push rod 62 is pushed upward, the clamping plate 63 is separated from the lock rod 13, and the compartment 20 is turned upward to an inclined state; at this time, the hook 32 moves upward and separates from the limiting block 11, and the baffle 33 moves downward and separates from the compartment door 21, and the compartment door 21 loses the clamping force and automatically opens to unload. When it is needed to close the compartment door 21, pull the push rod 62, and turn the push rod 62 downward, at the same time, pull the compartment 20 to turn downward, and the clamping plate 63 is clamped on the lock rod 13, at this time, the hook 32 moves downward and hooks on the limiting block 11, and the baffle 33 moves upward and clamps on the outside of the compartment door 21, to close the compartment door 21.
