[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model, and not the only embodiments.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the front wheel shock absorption structure of the electric scooter includes a front fork steerer tube 1 and a front wheel 2. Two baffles 4 are connected to the central axle 3 of the front wheel 2, and the two baffles 4 are located on both sides of the front wheel 2. A support frame 5 with a hollow top is installed at the lower end of the front fork steerer tube 1. A mounting bracket is provided between the two baffles 4 and snapped onto the end of the baffle 4 away from the central axle 3. The mounting bracket includes a concave seat 6 and side plates 7 located on both sides of the concave seat 6. The side plates 7 are fastened to the baffles 4 on the same side. A connecting rod 8 is provided between the concave seats 6, and a pull rod 1 is provided on the connecting rod 8. 0. The inner walls of the top two sides of the support frame 5 are provided with through holes 14. The end of the pull rod 10 near the connecting rod 8 is provided with a first pull ring 11 that is sleeved and connected to the connecting rod 8. The end of the pull rod 10 away from the connecting rod 8 is provided with a second pull ring 12. A sleeve 13 is provided through the inside of the second pull ring 12. Both ends of the sleeve 13 are connected to the corresponding through holes 14 through a rotating screw 15. A nut 16 is installed at the end of the rotating screw 15 near the through hole 14. A shock-absorbing spring 17 is provided between the first pull ring 11 and the second pull ring 12 and is sleeved on the pull rod 10.
[0031] In this embodiment, the installation steps of the front wheel 2 shock absorption structure are as follows: the side plates 7 on both sides of the concave seat 6 are respectively fastened into the baffle 4 on the same side as the side plate 7; the first pull ring 11 on the pull rod 10 is sleeved into the connecting rod 8; the two ends of the connecting rod 8 are connected to the two sides of the concave seat 6; the shock absorption spring 17 is sleeved on the pull rod 10; the second pull ring 12 on the pull rod 10 is pulled upward until the second pull ring 12 reaches the top of the support frame 5 and the sleeve 13 is aligned with the through holes 14 on both sides of the inner wall of the top of the support frame 5; the rotating screw 15 is inserted into both ends of the sleeve 13 and the rotating screw 15 is connected to the through holes 14 on the corresponding side; the rotating screw 15 at the corresponding end is locked with the nut 16 to complete the installation of the front wheel 2 shock absorption structure.
[0032] In the front wheel 2 shock absorption structure of this embodiment, the front wheel 2 shock absorption structure is simple and easy to install. The shock absorption spring 17 is hidden inside the support frame 5, which does not affect the shock absorption effect of the shock absorption spring 17 and helps to extend the service life of the shock absorption spring 17.
[0033] Furthermore, to prevent excessive wear when the first pull ring 11 is sleeved on the connecting rod 8, which would affect the structural integrity of the first pull ring 11, a rubber anti-slip pad 18 is sleeved between the connecting rod 8 and the first pull ring 11.
[0034] Furthermore, a first limiting piece 19 is provided at the end of the pull rod 10 near the first pull ring 11 to limit the bottom of the shock-absorbing spring 17, and a second limiting piece 20 is provided at the end of the pull rod 10 near the second pull ring 12 to limit the top of the shock-absorbing spring 17. The purpose of the first limiting piece 19 and the second limiting piece 20 is to limit the position of the shock-absorbing spring 17, which can prevent the shock-absorbing spring 17 from being compressed to its limit, thereby affecting the service life of the shock-absorbing spring 17.
[0035] Furthermore, a buffer plate 21 is installed between the second limiting plate 20 and the second pull ring 12. When the electric scooter is in motion, if an external force suddenly exerts a downward force on the support frame 5, the buffer plate 21 can absorb part of the external force and protect the shock-absorbing spring 17, thus preventing the external force from acting directly on the shock-absorbing spring 17.
[0036] Furthermore, a handle 22 is provided on the second pull ring 12. The handle 22 can extend to the outside of the hollow position at the top of the support frame 5. The handle 22 makes it convenient for the user to pull the second pull ring 12. At the same time, when installing the front wheel 2 shock absorption structure of this embodiment, pressing down the handle 22 can facilitate the connection between the rotating screw 15 and the sleeve 13.
[0037] Furthermore, the inner side of the two baffles 4, away from the central shaft 3 and close to the side plate 7, is provided with a pin hole 23. The pin hole 23 can be fastened to the corresponding side plate 7. This design makes it convenient to connect the baffles 4 to the corresponding side plate 7, and it can also save space, improve the utilization rate of space, and save costs to a certain extent.
[0038] Furthermore, the lower end of the support frame 5 is hinged to the end of the baffle 4 away from the central shaft 3. A connecting shaft 24 is provided between the two baffles 4, which is hinged to the end of the baffle 4 away from the central shaft 3. The two ends of the connecting shaft 24 are connected to the two sides of the lower end of the support frame 5. The ends of the two baffles 4 away from the central shaft 3 are sleeved on the outside of the two sides of the lower end of the support frame 5. This design can connect the support frame 5 with the two baffles 4, strengthen the stability of the support frame 5, and at the same time, this design can also improve the load-bearing capacity of the support frame 5.
[0039] Furthermore, a front mudguard 25 is provided above the front wheel 2, which can effectively prevent impurities such as sludge and sewage from entering the front wheel 2.
[0040] Furthermore, a fixing plate 9 is installed on the top of both side plates 7, and connecting plates 26 corresponding to the fixing plates 9 are provided on both sides of the outer surface of the front mudguard 25 near the support frame 5. The connecting plates 26 and the corresponding fixing plates 9 are fixedly connected by fixing screws. This design can strengthen the fixing effect of the concave seat 6 in the support frame 5.
[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
