Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle parts technology, and in particular to a pet basket and an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional pet carriers mounted on the footrests of electric vehicles are typically secured with screws. However, this method has significant drawbacks. When users need to disassemble the carrier, the process is extremely inconvenient. Users must use screwdrivers or other tools to unscrew each screw, a tedious and time-consuming process that doesn't allow for quick installation and removal. To address this issue, a carrier with clips exists, where the carrier is placed directly on the footrest and secured with clips on the side. However, this method requires manual operation to lock the carrier to the footrest after installation. If the user forgets to engage the clips, the carrier may fall off. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pet carrier and electric vehicle that solves these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pet basket and an electric vehicle to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the pet basket can automatically lock after installation, reducing the risk of falling off.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0026] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pet basket and an electric vehicle to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the pet basket can automatically lock after installation.

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a pet basket, including a basket body 101, a sliding groove, and a limiting member 1. A slider is provided at the lower part of the basket body 101. The sliding groove is used to mount on a foot pedal 102. The slider on the basket body 101 can slide within the sliding groove on the foot pedal 102. The limiting member 1 is located in the mounting space at the bottom of the end of the sliding groove (the same end as the terminating end below). A slot 7 is provided on the slider. The slider can compress the limiting member 1 and retract it into the mounting space at the bottom of the sliding groove. When the slot 7 is opposite to the limiting member 1... When aligned, the limiting member 1 can extend out of the mounting space and engage with the slot 7 to lock the basket 101 and the pedal 102. The limiting member 1 cooperates with the slot 7. When the slider is about to slide to the end of the groove, the slider abuts against the limiting member 1 and compresses the limiting member 1 back into the mounting space. When the slider continues to slide until the slot 7 is aligned with the limiting member 1, the limiting member 1 can engage with the slot, which can realize the automatic locking of the basket 101 and the pedal 102 and reduce the risk of the basket 101 falling off.

[0031] As another feasible embodiment, the pet basket includes a basket body 101, a slider, and a limiting member 1. The lower part of the basket body 101 is provided with a sliding groove. The slider is used to be mounted on the pedal 102. The sliding groove on the basket body 101 can slide along the slider on the pedal 102. The limiting member 1 is disposed in the mounting space at the end of the slider (the same end as the terminating end below). The end wall of the sliding groove can compress the limiting member 1 and retract it into the mounting space of the slider. When the end wall of the sliding groove no longer compresses the limiting member 1, the limiting member 1 can extend out of the mounting space and engage with the inner wall of the sliding groove to lock the basket body 101 and the pedal 102. The limiting member 1 is engaged with the sliding groove. The basket 101 with the sliding groove slides along the slider. When the end side wall of the sliding groove contacts the limiting member 1, it can compress the limiting member 1 back into the installation space. When the end side wall of the sliding groove no longer abuts the limiting member 1, the limiting member 1 can extend into the sliding groove and abut against the inner wall of the sliding groove, automatically locking the basket 101 and the pedal 102, ensuring that the basket 101 will not slide or shake at will during use, increasing the stability and safety of the pet basket.

[0032] It should be noted that the limiting component can undergo elastic deformation, providing a basis for extending into the slot 7 or the slide groove.

[0033] In some embodiments, a slider 8 is provided at the lower part of the housing 101, and a groove 6 is provided on the pedal 102. The limiting member 1 includes a wedge block and an elastic member disposed at the end of the groove. The elastic member is preferably a spring 3. The top end of the elastic member abuts against the bottom surface of the wedge block, and the bottom end of the elastic member abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting space. The inclined surface of the wedge block gradually moves away from the starting end of the slider 8's sliding (i.e., the distance between the inclined surface and the bottom surface of the mounting space gradually increases along the direction away from the starting end). When the slider 8 slides to the end end, the side of the wedge block can abut against the inner wall of the slot 7. When the slider 8 slides along the groove 6, the slot 7 on the slider 8 will gradually approach the wedge block. Since the third surface of the wedge block is an inclined surface, during the approach process, the slider 8 will press the wedge block towards the pedal 102 along the inclined surface, causing the elastic member to deform and compressing the wedge block and the elastic member back into the mounting space. As slider 8 continues to slide, when slot 7 reaches the wedge position, the elastic force of the elastic element pushes the wedge to reset. At this time, the side of the wedge adheres to the inner wall of slot 7, achieving automatic locking and firmly fixing the basket 101 to pedal 102 without requiring manual operation of an additional locking device by the user. The second side of the wedge can closely adhere to the inner wall of slot 7, restricting the movement of slider 8 from the side, greatly reducing the shaking of basket 101 along the slide 6 direction in the locked state, and improving the stability of the connection between basket 101 and pedal 102.

[0034] Furthermore, the wedge block is a right-angled wedge block with a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. The first surface is perpendicular to the second surface and is fixedly connected. The third surface is an inclined surface and is fixedly connected to the first surface and the second surface. The top end of the elastic element abuts against the first surface, and the bottom end of the elastic element abuts against the pedal 102. The third surface gradually moves away from the beginning of the slide groove 6 from low to high. When the slider 8 slides to the end of the slide groove 6, the second surface can fit against the inner wall of the slot 7.

[0035] It should be noted that the elastic element can also be a silicone block or a rubber block, or the elastic element can be a steel sheet that can restore its shape. The specific arrangement of the steel sheet can be that the steel sheet is horizontally set in the installation space, the wedge block is set above the steel sheet, and the end of the steel sheet away from the wedge block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the installation space. The slider compresses the wedge block, and the wedge block compresses the steel sheet to produce elastic deformation. When the slot 7 is aligned with the wedge block, the steel sheet returns to its original shape, and the wedge block enters the slot 7 for limiting.

[0036] As a feasible embodiment, the limiting member 1 includes a limiting body and an elastic member. The top end of the elastic member abuts against the bottom surface of the limiting body, and the bottom end of the elastic member abuts against the bottom surface of the mounting space. The end of the slider near the slot 7 is set as an inclined surface, and the inclined surface gradually moves away from the starting end of the slider's sliding (i.e., the distance between the inclined surface and the bottom surface of the mounting space gradually increases along the direction away from the starting end). When the slider slides to the end end, the limiting body can extend into the slot. During the sliding process, the end face of the slider 8 near the slot 7 is an inclined surface, which will compress the limiting body and retract it into the mounting space. When the slot 7 is aligned with the limiting body, the limiting body can extend upward into the slot 7 under the elastic force of the elastic member, realizing the automatic locking of the basket 101 and the pedal 102. It should be noted that the limiting body can be a cylinder, a square prism, etc.

[0037] In some embodiments, the pet basket further includes a toggle plate 4, which is fixedly connected to one end of the wedge block away from the starting end of the sliding block. An opening is provided on the side wall at the end of the slide groove 6. The end of the toggle plate 4 away from the wedge block is an extension end, which is used to extend out of the opening. The toggle plate 4 is hinged to the interior of the mounting space, and the inclined surface of the wedge block and the extension end of the toggle plate are located on both sides of the hinge point. Specifically, the pet basket also includes a connecting plate 2. The bottom of the connecting plate 2 is used to connect with the top of the elastic element. The two ends of the connecting plate 2 are respectively connected to the first surface and the actuating plate 4. The actuating plate 4 is hinged inside the mounting space. Specifically, a pin 5 can be set on the pedal 102. An ear plate is set on the actuating plate 4. A through hole is set on the ear plate. The actuating plate 4 and the pedal 102 are hinged by inserting the pin 5 into the through hole on the ear plate. The hinge point and the wedge block are located on both sides of the elastic element. An opening is set on the side wall at the end of the slide 6. The end of the actuating plate 4 away from the connecting plate 2 is used to extend out of the opening. When the basket body 101 and the pedal 102 are locked, there is a certain distance between the actuating plate 4 and the top of the opening. This distance is the movement space when the actuating plate 4 is pushed upward. When it is necessary to unlock the basket 101, the operator only needs to lift the toggle plate 4 upwards. The toggle plate 4 rotates around the hinge point. The wedge block is located at the end of the hinge point away from the toggle plate 4. Lifting the toggle plate 4 upwards causes the wedge plate to move downwards and leave the slot 7, thereby unlocking the basket 101 from the pedal 102.

[0038] In some embodiments, both the slider and the groove are arranged along the width direction of the pedal 102. The slider, arranged along the width direction of the basket 101, allows the basket 101 to be removed by pushing it to the left or right sides of the pedal 102 during application. This provides a larger operating space and is more convenient for installation and removal compared to a slider that slides back and forth (in the same direction as the riding direction of the electric vehicle). It should be noted that the width direction of the pedal 102 is consistent with the width direction of the basket 101, and the width direction of the pedal 102 is perpendicular to the riding direction of the electric vehicle.

[0039] In some embodiments, two sliders and two grooves are provided, with the two sliders distributed along the length of the pedal 102 and the two grooves distributed along the length of the pedal 102. One slider is provided at each end of the basket 101, and the pedal 102 corresponds to two grooves, which can evenly distribute the weight of the pet and the pet basket. During riding, whether accelerating, decelerating, or turning, it can effectively reduce swaying and tilting caused by uneven force distribution, making the pet more stable in the basket and ensuring riding safety. The double slider and double groove design increases the connection points, enhancing the stability of the connection between the pet basket and the pedal 102 compared to a single slider. It also reduces the likelihood of loosening or deformation during long-term use, extending the service life of the connection structure between the pet basket and the pedal 102.

[0040] In some embodiments, the slider 8 is a wedge-shaped slider, and the groove 6 is a wedge-shaped groove. The wedge-shaped slider is slidably disposed within the wedge-shaped groove, which restricts the forward and backward and up and down movement of the wedge-shaped slider. The tight fit between the wedge-shaped slider and the wedge-shaped groove forms a locking structure. The wedge-shaped groove effectively restricts the forward and backward and up and down movement of the wedge-shaped slider, greatly reducing the risk of the pet carrier accidentally falling off and providing a relatively safe and stable riding environment for the pet. For example, when going over speed bumps, a pet carrier with a conventional straight slider connection may bounce up and down or even shift, but this wedge structure allows the pet carrier to be firmly fixed on the pedal 102, ensuring the pet's safety. Moreover, the wedge design increases the contact area between the slider and the groove, and the contact is tighter. This not only effectively distributes the weight of the pet carrier and the pet, but also minimizes the shaking and displacement of the pet carrier during riding, making the pet more comfortable inside the carrier. Riders also do not need to worry about the pet carrier shaking affecting their riding safety and experience.

[0041] It should be noted that slider 8 can also be an inverted T-shaped slider, and slide 6 can be a T-shaped slide, which can also achieve the effect of preventing the basket 101 from moving up and down.

[0042] In some embodiments, the wedge slider is a wedge slider with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from the sliding start end (the end away from the limiting member 1) to the sliding end end (the end close to the limiting member 1), and the wedge groove is a wedge groove with a gradually decreasing cross-sectional area from the sliding start end to the sliding end end. When installing the housing 101, the wedge slider at the small end enters through the wedge groove at the large end, which facilitates installation and eliminates the need to spend time precisely aligning the slider with the groove, making the installation process smoother and more efficient, and saving installation time.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment, the basket 101 has multiple ventilation holes 9 on its side. These ventilation holes 9, distributed along the side of the basket 101, allow fresh air to continuously flow into the basket, providing ample oxygen for the pet and preventing breathing difficulties and discomfort due to poor air circulation. During riding, the pet's body odor and the odor of its excrement can easily accumulate in the enclosed space. The ventilation holes allow for natural air circulation, promptly expelling odors from the basket and keeping the air inside fresh.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] This embodiment also provides an electric vehicle, including a footboard 102 and the pet basket from Embodiment 1, which enables the pet basket to lock automatically after installation.

[0046] This utility model uses specific examples to illustrate its principles and implementation methods. The above description of the 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 methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
