Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an adjustable locking mechanism for folding vehicles, belonging to the field of folding vehicle technology. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, folding vehicles are compact, portable, and easy-to-store modes of transportation, such as folding bicycles, folding electric bicycles, and folding scooters. Taking folding scooters as an example, the folding mechanism allows the stand and pedals to be folded, and then locked by locking mechanisms on the stand and pedals, thereby reducing the overall size of the vehicle, making it suitable for urban commuting, short trips, or use in conjunction with public transportation.

[0003] However, the locking mechanism requires high precision in the installation of its components; otherwise, it may fail to lock properly. Furthermore, over long-term use, the locking mechanism's position on the upright and pedal may shift, and its components may deform to varying degrees, leading to situations where the locking mechanism cannot lock completely. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an adjustable locking mechanism for folding vehicles. The mechanism can adjust the installation position of the locking handle on the vehicle upright so that the locking handle and buckle can be locked in place, thereby reducing the requirements for the installation accuracy of the locking handle and buckle.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An adjustable locking mechanism for a folding vehicle includes a vehicle upright, a locking handle assembly mounted on the vehicle upright, and a buckle assembly mounted on the vehicle pedal.

[0007] The lock handle assembly includes a lock handle, a lock handle fixing seat, a first screw, and a lock handle slider. The lock handle is hinged to the lock handle fixing seat, and a torsion spring is connected between the lock handle and the lock handle fixing seat. The lock handle is used to engage with a buckle assembly for locking. The lock handle slider is connected to the lock handle fixing seat through the first screw. The lock handle slider and the lock handle fixing seat are used to slide on the vehicle upright. The first screw is used to fix the lock handle fixing seat and the lock handle slider to the vehicle upright.

[0008] Furthermore, the vehicle pole includes an outer pole tube and an inner pole tube. The inner pole tube is located inside the cavity of the outer pole tube. The outer pole tube is connected to the inner pole tube by a second screw. The outer pole tube has a countersunk hole for installing the second screw.

[0009] Furthermore, a waist hole is provided on the outer tube of the upright, through which the first screw passes. The waist hole is used to adjust the installation position of the first screw.

[0010] Furthermore, a groove for sliding the lock handle slider is provided on the outer wall of the inner tube of the pole.

[0011] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes a buckle and a third screw. The buckle is fixed to the vehicle pedal by the third screw, and the buckle is provided with a groove for engaging with the lock handle for locking.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation position of the lock handle can be adjusted by loosening the first screw in the lock handle assembly. After the lock handle is locked in place with the buckle, the first screw is tightened to fix the position of the lock handle. This locking method has low requirements for the fitting precision of the lock handle and the buckle, and at the same time reduces the wear on the buckle and the lock handle during locking, thereby improving the service life of the buckle.

[0018] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an adjustable locking mechanism for a folding vehicle, which includes a vehicle upright 1, a locking handle assembly 2 mounted on the vehicle upright 1, and a buckle assembly 3 mounted on the vehicle pedal. After the vehicle is folded, it can be locked by the locking handle assembly 2 and the buckle assembly 3.

[0020] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the vehicle pole 1 in this embodiment includes an outer pole tube 11 and an inner pole tube 12. The inner pole tube 12 is installed in the inner cavity of the outer pole tube 11. The outer pole tube 11 is connected to the inner pole tube 12 by a second screw 13. A countersunk hole 14 for installing the second screw 13 is provided on the outer pole tube 11.

[0021] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 4, the lock handle assembly 2 of this embodiment includes a lock handle 21, a lock handle fixing seat 22, a first screw 23, and a lock handle slider 24. The lock handle 21 is hinged to the lock handle fixing seat 22, and a torsion spring 25 connects the lock handle 21 and the lock handle fixing seat 22. After the vehicle is folded, the lock handle 21 and the buckle assembly 3 cooperate to lock together. Wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the lock handle slider 24 is connected to the lock handle fixing seat 22 by two first screws 23. Figure 1 As shown, a slotted hole 15 is provided on the outer tube 11 of the upright post. The first screw 23 passes through the slotted hole 15, which is used to adjust the installation position of the first screw 23. After tightening the first screw 23, the lock handle fixing seat 22 and the lock handle slider 24 can be fixed in place. Figure 1 As shown, a groove 16 is provided on the outer wall of the inner tube 12 of the pole for the sliding of the lock handle slider 24 to slide up and down. When it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the lock handle 21, loosen the first screw 23 and move the lock handle fixing seat 22 up and down to adjust the position of the lock handle 21. When the lock handle 21 can be locked in place with the buckle assembly 3, tighten the first screw 23 to complete the position adjustment of the lock handle 21.
