Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric scooter technology, specifically to a novel upright beam structure for electric scooters. Background Technology

[0002] Electric scooters, based on human-powered skateboards, incorporate modern electric and other technological components to create a lightweight, convenient, easy-to-operate, and energy-efficient mode of transportation. Due to their simple structure and small wheels, they cannot carry passengers and are not permitted on public roads, making them more suitable for short-distance travel.

[0003] To make older electric scooters lighter, a one-piece all-aluminum structure was adopted for the upright beam to reduce weight. However, since the upright beam is connected to the main frame, and the upper beam is the main load-bearing part, it is prone to breakage due to insufficient strength. Therefore, further optimization and improvement of the upright beam are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a split design for the upright beam, which avoids the problem of insufficient strength and easy breakage of the upper aluminum beam while maintaining the corrosion resistance and lightweight effect of the exposed lower aluminum beam, thus creating a novel upright beam structure for electric scooters.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel upright beam structure for an electric scooter includes a lower upright beam body connected to the front wheel fork and an upper beam rod connected to the upright frame. The lower upright beam body has a cylindrical platform for inserting and engaging the upper beam rod. The bottom of the cylindrical platform has a locking hole for fixed connection with the upper beam rod. The bottom of the upper beam rod has a locking hole connection position corresponding to the locking hole. The lower upright beam body is made of forged aluminum, and the upper beam rod is made of alloy steel.

[0007] Preferably, a guide plane is provided inside the cylindrical platform, an abutting surface is provided on one side of the upper beam rod that abuts against the guide plane, and rounded corners are provided on both sides of the guide plane.

[0008] Preferably, the upper beam is provided with a limiting ring to restrict the upright frame.

[0009] Preferably, the front end of the cylindrical platform is provided with a searchlight mounting surface, and the mounting surface is provided with screw holes.

[0010] Preferably, the lower support beam body is hollow inside and has a first mounting position and a second mounting position. The first mounting position is located at the middle of the body and is used to install the front shock absorption structure. The second mounting position is located at the end of the body and is used to install the front wheel fork.

[0011] Preferably, a wear-resistant pad is provided at the bottom of the insertion joint between the upper beam and the lower upright beam.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This practical new type of upright beam structure for electric scooters changes the original integrated all-aluminum upright beam structure to a split upright beam structure, including an upper beam and a lower upright beam body that are interlocked and locked together. The upper beam is made of alloy steel, and the lower beam body is made of aluminum. This improves the strength of the upper beam, the main load-bearing part, and avoids the problem of the aluminum upper beam body being too weak and prone to breakage. At the same time, it maintains the corrosion resistance and lightweight effect of the exposed aluminum lower beam body, and takes into account high strength, durability and lightweight effect.

[0018] 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.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4A novel upright beam structure for an electric scooter includes a lower upright beam body 1 connected to a front wheel fork 100 and an upper beam 2 connected to an upright frame 101. The lower upright beam body 1 has a cylindrical platform 11 for inserting and engaging the upper beam 2. The bottom of the cylindrical platform 11 has a locking hole 12 for fixed connection with the upper beam 2. The bottom of the upper beam 2 has a locking hole connection position 21 corresponding to the locking hole 12. The lower upright beam body 1 is made of forged aluminum, and the upper beam 2 is made of alloy steel. The original integrated all-aluminum upright beam structure is adjusted to a split upright beam structure, including the upper beam 2 and the lower upright beam body 1 that are inserted and locked together. The upper beam 2 is made of alloy steel, and the lower beam body 1 is made of aluminum. This improves the strength of the upper beam, which is the main load-bearing part, and avoids the situation where the aluminum upper beam is not strong enough and is prone to breakage. At the same time, it maintains the corrosion resistance and lightweight effect of the exposed aluminum lower beam, while taking into account high strength, durability, and lightweight effect.

[0020] The cylindrical platform 11 is provided with a guide plane 13. The upper beam 2 is provided with an abutting surface 22 on one side that abuts against the guide plane 13. The guide plane 13 is provided with rounded corners 14 on both sides. The fit between the guide plane 13 and the abutting surface 22 facilitates assembly. The rounded corners 14 also reserve an assembly gap to further facilitate assembly.

[0021] The upper beam 2 is equipped with a limiting ring 23 that restricts the upright frame 101. The limiting ring 23 serves to fix and limit the position.

[0022] The front end of the cylindrical platform 11 is provided with a searchlight mounting surface 15, and the mounting surface 15 is provided with a screw hole 16. The searchlight mounting surface 15 and the screw hole 16 are designed to install a searchlight 102 for lighting when the electric scooter is in use.

[0023] The lower support beam body 1 is hollow inside and has a first mounting position 3 and a second mounting position 4. The first mounting position 3 is located at the middle of the body and is used to install the front shock absorption structure 104. The second mounting position 4 is located at the end of the body and is used to install the front wheel fork 100. The lower support beam body 1 can ensure its function while ensuring lightweight.

[0024] Wear-resistant pads 24 are provided at the bottom of the insertion joint between the upper beam 2 and the lower upright beam body 1. The wear-resistant pads 24 ensure the stability of the insertion joint between the separately configured upper beam 2 and the lower upright beam body 1.
