Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a folding device, specifically to a folding device for electric scooters. Background Technology
[0002] The scooter is a new product form of skateboarding sports following the traditional skateboard. A scooter includes a footboard, front and rear wheels, a post, and handlebars mounted on the top of the post. The handlebars are arranged horizontally, which facilitates better control and steering, making it a very simple piece of sports equipment. For easy storage and carrying, scooters use folding mechanisms to reduce their size, making them easier to store and transport.
[0003] However, most folding mechanisms in existing scooters are single-safety folding mechanisms. If this mechanism fails, the scooter may fold or fold unstably during use, which may cause potential safety hazards. This situation may cause the rider to lose balance while riding, fall, or cause other dangers.
[0004] In view of this, this application designs an electric scooter folding device, which improves the stability during installation and ensures safety. Utility Model Content

[0007] An electric scooter folding mechanism includes a first folding cover, a second folding cover, and a straight tube. A protruding connector is fixedly installed at the lower end of the second folding cover. The first folding cover is rotatably mounted on the protruding connector via a pin, and the first folding cover and the second folding cover are in close contact. A handle assembly is provided on the second folding cover, and a button locking assembly is provided on the first folding cover. The button locking assembly is used in conjunction with the handle assembly. A straight tube is fixedly connected to the side of the first folding cover away from the second folding cover.
[0008] Preferably, the handle assembly includes a linear pivot pin, a roller disc, and a locking handle. A through hole is provided on the upper protrusion of the second folding cover, and a roller disc is movably installed in the through hole. A linear pivot pin is fixedly installed on the roller disc and passes through the through hole. The locking handle is movably installed on the linear pivot pin.
[0009] Preferably, the button latch assembly includes a movable button, a spring post, a first positioning pin, and a pin seat. The latch handle has a sliding opening, and the spring post is slidably installed in the sliding opening. The movable button is fixedly installed on the top of the spring post, and the bottom of the spring post is fixedly connected to the first positioning pin. The pin seat is fixedly installed on the first folding cover, and a notch is opened on one side of the pin seat, into which one end of the first positioning pin is inserted.
[0010] Preferably, a boat-shaped latch is movably mounted on the straight pivot pin, and the boat-shaped latch is located below the latch handle. A second positioning pin is installed at the lower right end of the boat-shaped latch, and the outer end of the second positioning pin is hemispherical. A second pin seat is fixedly mounted on the first folding cover, and the hemispherical end of the second positioning pin is inserted into the circular groove on the second pin seat.
[0011] Preferably, a reset torsion spring is fitted onto the linear pivot pin, with one movable end of the reset torsion spring extending into the second folding cover and the other movable end inserted into the boat-shaped latch.

[0013] In view of this, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] In this application, when folding, first press the active button to move the spring column and disengage the first positioning pin from the notch on the pin seat, thereby releasing the locking handle. Then, swing the locking handle. Since the roller is an eccentric disc, when the linear pivot rotates, the roller can drive the boat-shaped lock to move, that is, the second positioning pin disengages from the circular groove on the pin seat. When the locking handle is continued to rotate, it will abut against the boat-shaped lock and swing. The return torsion spring deforms, so that the boat-shaped lock separates from the first folding cover, thereby realizing the separation of the first folding cover and the second folding cover, so that the two can be folded. The operation is simple, and the two protective measures enhance the stability and safety of the installation. Attached Figure Description
