Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this invention from the content disclosed in this specification. This invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this invention. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0025] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The illustrations only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.
[0026] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example
[0027] This invention discloses a rear axle suspension structure for a tricycle, with reference to... Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle includes a frame 1, suspension arms 2, a rear-wheel drive assembly 3, and shock absorbers 4. The rear-wheel drive assembly 3 is mounted on both sides of the frame 1 via the suspension arms 2. The rear-wheel drive assembly 3 and the frame 1 are connected by two symmetrically arranged shock absorbers 4. The shock absorbers 4 are used to dampen the vibration of the frame 1 and prevent the vibration of the wheels from being transmitted to the frame 1 during driving.
[0028] Two sets of brake assemblies 5 are installed on the two curved rods 11 of the frame 1, which can significantly improve braking efficiency. A mounting bracket 13 is installed on the curved rod 11, and a clamping plate 14 is fixed to the mounting bracket 13. A lubricating sleeve 15 is placed between the clamping plate 14 and the mounting bracket 13. This assembly method allows for direct assembly and disassembly from above, eliminating the need for personnel to lie on the ground for inspection, greatly improving the convenience of maintenance. The clamping plate 14 is fixed to the mounting bracket 13 with screws, which simultaneously fixes the lubricating sleeve 15. The inner side of the lubricating sleeve 15 and the brake shaft 51 slide circumferentially. The lubricating sleeve 15 is a component containing lubricating oil, thus reducing the rotational friction of the brake shaft 51 and ensuring smooth, unobstructed movement.
[0029] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 It is understood that the brake assembly 5 includes a brake shaft 51, a brake 52, a brake lever 53, and a brake actuator 54. The brake 52 is a prior art product and is not an improvement of this application. The brake shaft 51 passes through the lubrication sleeve 15, and both ends of the brake shaft 51 are connected to the brake 52 located on the wheel via the brake lever 53. The brake actuator 54 is connected to the middle of the brake shaft 51.
[0030] The brake puller 54 is snapped onto the crossbeam 12 of the frame 1. This snap-fit assembly makes disassembly and assembly very easy. Specifically, a mounting bracket 16 is provided on the crossbeam 12. The brake puller 54 includes a fastening sleeve 541, a spring 542, a traction rope 543, and a traction arm 544. One end of the traction arm 544 is fixed to the brake shaft 51, and the other end of the traction arm 544 is fixed to the traction rope 543. The spring 542 is also sleeved on the traction rope 543. The spring 542 abuts against the fastening sleeve 541. The fastening sleeve 541 is fitted onto the traction rope 543 and fixed to the mounting bracket 16. A notch 17 is provided on the mounting bracket 16.
[0031] During maintenance, the installation structure is easily visible, allowing for direct disassembly and assembly from above. The disassembly and assembly points are not easily obstructed and are unobstructed, making disassembly and assembly very easy.
[0032] In another aspect, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 It is understood that the magnet 6 is fixed on the traction arm 544, and the Hall sensor 7 for sensing the active stroke position of the magnet 6 is fixed on the mounting frame 13. When the traction arm 544 carries the magnet 6 to move to the limit position, the Hall sensor 7 senses the magnet 6 and triggers an electrical signal. During the braking action, the traction arm 544 will rotate, so that its position can be detected. The speed sensor 8 is arranged on the wheel of the rear wheel drive assembly 3. The Hall sensor 7 and the speed sensor 8 are connected with the protection circuit 9.
[0033] Figure 4 The protection circuit 9 includes a comparator 91, a reference circuit 92, an AND gate circuit 93, and a switching circuit 94. The Hall sensor 7 is connected to the first input end of the AND gate circuit 93. The reference circuit 92 is connected to the inverting input end of the comparator 91. The speed sensor 8 is connected to the non-inverting input end of the comparator 91. The output end of the comparator 91 is connected to the second input end of the AND gate circuit 93. The output end of the AND gate circuit 93 is connected to the switching circuit 94. The switching circuit 94 is used to make the power-off action for the tricycle.
[0034] The reference circuit 92 includes a first voltage source, a resistor R2, and a potentiometer Rpl. One end of the resistor R2 is connected to the first voltage source. The other end of the resistor R2 is connected to the potentiometer Rpl. The resistance end of the potentiometer Rpl is grounded. The adjustment end of the potentiometer Rpl is connected to the inverting input end of the comparator 91 for inputting the threshold setting signal. The first voltage source Vcc can be a 5V voltage. The voltage value output by the reference circuit 92 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the potentiometer Rpl to set a reference signal Vref1 value, thereby representing the upper threshold value of the speed. The speed sensor 8 detects the wheel speed feedback signal, which is judged by the comparator 91. When the speed exceeds the set threshold value, the comparator 91 outputs a high level. Otherwise, the comparator 91 outputs a low level signal.
[0035] The switching circuit 94 includes a resistor R3, a resistor R4, a transistor Q1, and a relay. One end of the resistor R3 is connected to the output end of the AND gate circuit 93. The other end of the resistor R3 is connected to one end of the resistor R4 and the base of the transistor Q1. The other end of the resistor R4 and the emitter of the transistor Q1 are grounded. One end of the coil of the relay is connected to a second voltage source. The other end of the coil of the relay is connected to the collector of the transistor Q1. The switching part of the relay is connected to the power supply circuit of the tricycle. Figure 4 The coil of the relay is K1, and the switching part is K1-1, which is a normally closed switch. When the relay is powered on, the normally closed switch is opened.
[0036] Therefore, only when the brake action reaches the limit position, the Hall sensor 7 triggers the electric signal, and the vehicle speed reaches the upper limit, the logic judgment of the AND gate circuit 93 is high, so that the triode Q1 in the switch circuit 94 is turned on, the relay is powered on, the normally closed switch is opened, and the power-off protection is realized.
[0037] The above embodiments only illustrate the principles and effects of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
