Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a folding device, specifically a folding device for a mobility scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Mobility vehicles refer to transportation and assistive devices designed for commuting. They are used by people with mild disabilities, the elderly, and other individuals who have difficulty moving around but have not yet lost their mobility. They provide convenient assistive devices to save effort and increase mobility and living space. They are also widely used by commuters.

[0003] Most existing mobility scooters use a steering wheel for steering. In some situations, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel several times to complete the turn, and the steering feedback is not direct enough. Using a steering stem as the steering structure is more convenient, but it is longer and bulkier. Existing technology uses an articulated structure to make the steering stem foldable, but the folding operation is cumbersome and not convenient for quick operation, so it is inconvenient for users.

[0004] In view of this, this application designs a folding device for a mobility scooter. Utility Model Content

[0007] A folding mechanism for a mobility scooter includes a first folding component, a second folding component, and a main sleeve. The first folding component has a groove on its lower left side, and a steering pin is fixedly installed within the groove. A movable protrusion is rotatably mounted on the steering pin. The second folding component is fixedly connected to the movable protrusion, which extends beyond the groove. The first folding component is attached to the second folding component. A first movable arm is movably mounted on the upper end of the first folding component, and a second movable arm is movably connected to the first movable arm. A locking hole is provided on the second movable arm, and a folding lever is fixedly connected to the end of the second movable arm away from the first movable arm. A locking component is movably mounted on the upper end of the second folding component, and the locking component is engaged in the locking hole. The main sleeve is installed on the end of the first folding component away from the second folding component.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the second folding component is provided with a swing groove, and a positioning pin is fixedly installed in the swing groove. The locking component is movably installed on the positioning pin, and the upper end of the locking component extends out of the swing groove and passes through the locking hole.

[0009] Preferably, a tension spring is fixedly connected to one side of the engaging component, and the other end of the tension spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity of the second folding component.

[0010] Preferably, a support rod is fixedly installed in the upper swing groove of the second folding component, and the first movable arm is movably connected to the support rod.

[0011] Preferably, a supporting inner tube is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main sleeve, and one end of the supporting inner tube extends to the outside of the main sleeve.

[0012] Preferably, a pipe joint is fixedly installed on the side of the first folding component away from the second folding component, the inner supporting tube is fixedly connected to the pipe joint, and the main sleeve is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the pipe joint and fixedly connected to the first folding component.

[0013] In view of this, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following embodiments:

[0025] A folding mechanism for a mobility scooter includes a first folding component 1, a second folding component 2, and a main sleeve 3. The first folding component 1 has a groove on its lower left side, and a steering pin 4 is fixedly installed within the groove. A movable protrusion 5 is rotatably installed on the steering pin 4. The second folding component 2 is fixedly connected to the movable protrusion 5, and the movable protrusion 5 extends outside the groove. The first folding component 1 is attached to the second folding component 2. A first movable arm 7 is movably installed at the upper end of the first folding component 1, and a second movable arm 8 is movably connected to the first movable arm 7. A locking hole is provided on the second movable arm 8, and a folding lever 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the second movable arm 8 away from the first movable arm 7. A locking component 6 is movably installed at the upper end of the second folding component 2, and the locking component 6 is locked in the locking hole. The main sleeve 3 is installed at the end of the first folding component 1 away from the second folding component 2.
