[0002] In the field of children's toys and travel aids, as parents pay increasing attention to the quality of their children's outdoor activities and the convenience of travel, various novel products are constantly emerging. Drift cars, as a fun sports toy and short-distance transportation tool, have gradually entered the children's market and are very popular with children. However, existing children's drift cars have many problems in actual use and storage, seriously affecting their user experience and widespread adoption. When children need to take drift cars out for activities, such as going to the park or attending parent-child gatherings, existing drift cars are too large to fit in ordinary strollers or car trunks, thus limiting their usage scenarios and lacking practicality.

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model proposes a foldable and storable drift car. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. This utility model proposes a foldable drift car.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a foldable drift car, including a front body and a rear body, a handle body is installed on the upper end of the front body, a wheel body is installed on the lower end of both the front body and the rear body, a seat is installed on the upper end of the rear body, a folding component is provided between the front body and the rear body, and an auxiliary handle is provided on the upper wall of the folding component;

[0006] The folding assembly includes an outer block with its two ends axled to the front and rear vehicle bodies respectively.

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 To address the issue that existing drift cars are too large to fit in ordinary strollers or car trunks, thus limiting their application scenarios and practicality, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0023] A foldable drift car includes a front body 1 and a rear body 2. A handlebar body 3 is mounted on the upper part of the front body 1, facilitating user control of the vehicle's direction and providing a comfortable grip. Wheel bodies 4 are fitted to the lower parts of both the front body 1 and the rear body 2, providing the vehicle with flexible mobility. A seat 5 is mounted on the upper part of the rear body 2. A folding assembly 6 is located between the front body 1 and the rear body 2. The folding assembly 6 is key to enabling convenient folding and storage of the vehicle. An auxiliary handle 7 is provided on the upper wall of the folding assembly for user convenience. Applying force when folding or unfolding the vehicle makes operation easier and more convenient. The folding assembly includes an outer block 61, with its two ends connected to the front and rear vehicle bodies via shafts. This shaft connection design ensures the stability between the outer block 61 and the front and rear vehicle bodies while allowing for some movement, providing a structural basis for folding and unfolding the vehicle. The upper end of the outer block 61 is slidably connected to the first switch 62, and the lower end of the first switch 62 penetrates the upper wall of the outer block 61 and extends into the inner cavity of the outer block 61. A second switch 63 is provided at the lower end of the first switch 62. A folding component 64 is installed on the outer wall of the second switch 63. One end of the folding component 64 overlaps with a folding latch 65, while the end of the folding latch 65 away from the folding component 64 is fixedly connected to an auxiliary handle 7. The end of the folding component 64 away from the folding latch 65 overlaps with a locking body 66, and the outer wall of the locking body 66 overlaps with a locking rod body 67.

[0024] The end of the folding component 64 near the latch body 66 is designed with a special inclined structure. The latch body 66 overlaps the upper wall of the inclined surface of the folding component 64. When the user operates the vehicle to fold, the folding component 64 will move along with the movement of the folding assembly. Due to the existence of its inclined surface, the folding component 64 will generate a thrust along the inclined surface direction on the latch body 66 during the movement. This thrust will cause the latch body 66 to rotate around the overlap point with the latch rod body 67, thereby realizing the disengagement of the latch body 66 from the latch rod body 67 and creating conditions for folding the front body of the vehicle.

[0025] A return spring A is provided at the bottom of the folding component 64. When the vehicle is unfolded, the return spring A is in a compressed state and stores a certain amount of elastic potential energy. After the vehicle folding operation is completed and the vehicle needs to be unfolded, the return spring A releases the stored elastic potential energy, providing elastic force to the folding component 64. This elastic force allows the folding component 64 to quickly return to its initial position. A return spring B is provided at the bottom of the second switch 63. During the vehicle folding operation, when the user presses the first switch 62, the first switch 62 pushes the second switch 63 downward, thereby triggering a series of actions of the folding assembly. After the folding operation is completed, the return spring B generates an upward elastic force, pushing the second switch 63 upward. The upward movement of the second switch 63 will drive the first switch 62 to reset as well, and the entire folding assembly returns to its initial ready state, ready for the next folding operation.

[0026] The folding latch 65 has a unique L-shaped structure, which allows it to be securely connected to the auxiliary handle 7. This ensures that the folding latch 65 can reliably transmit pulling force when the auxiliary handle 7 is pulled. The L-shaped structure of the folding latch 65 can also effectively overlap and cooperate with the folding component 64. When the user pulls the auxiliary handle 7, the folding latch 65 will move upward with the movement of the auxiliary handle 7. Its L-shaped corner will press against the folding component 64, pushing the folding component 64 inward, thereby realizing a series of actions of the folding component and completing the vehicle folding operation. The L-shaped structure design optimizes the collaborative work between the folding latch 65 and other components, improving the stability and reliability of the folding operation.

[0027] A slide rail matching the folding component 64 is provided at the bottom of the cavity of the outer block 61, providing precise guidance for the movement of the folding component 64. When the folding assembly is folded, the folding component 64 will slide along the slide rail at the bottom of the cavity of the outer block 61 under the push of the folding latch 65. The existence of the slide rail not only ensures the accuracy of the movement trajectory of the folding component 64 and avoids it from deviating or getting stuck during the movement, but also reduces the frictional resistance between the folding component 64 and the outer block 61, making the folding operation smoother. A safety body is provided at the bottom of the end of the folding component 64 near the rear vehicle body 2, which locks the rear vehicle body 2. The shape of the safety body is adapted to the internal structure of the bottom plate of the outer block 61 to prevent the folding component 64 from suddenly folding downwards without being pulled.

[0028] Specifically, when the drift car needs to be folded, press the first switch 62 with your finger. The first switch 62 presses down on the second switch 63 through the hole. The return spring B inside the second switch 63 is compressed. Keep the first switch 62 and the second switch 63 pressed down. Pull the auxiliary handle 7 upward. The upward pull of the auxiliary handle 7 causes the folding latch 65 to move upward. During the upward movement of the folding latch 65, it pushes against the folding piece 64 and moves inward. When the folding piece 64 moves, the inclined surface slides along the locking shaft. This process causes the locking body 66 to be pushed by the inclined surface of the folding piece 64 and disengage from the locking rod body 67. The connection between the front body 1 and the rear body 2 is released. As the folding latch 65 continues to move upward... The folding component 64 continues to move inward, and the rear end of the folding component 64 detaches from the rear body 2. The rear body 2 loses the support of the folding component 64, swings downward, and separates from the folding component 64. After the rear body 2 is folded, the rear part of the folding component 64 is no longer restricted by the rear body 2, and the front body 1 is in the unlocked state. The locking body 66 has detached from the locking rod body 67. Without any other obstacles, the front body 1 can be folded smoothly. This completes the entire folding process of the drift car. It is easy to operate and highly practical. It solves the problem that the existing drift cars are too large to fit in ordinary strollers or car trunks, thus limiting the use scenarios of drift cars and resulting in insufficient practicality.

[0029] After folding, if the vehicle is to be unfolded again, the return spring A at the bottom of the folding component 64 will function when the vehicle unfolding action begins, providing elasticity to the folding component 64 to return it to its initial position for easy folding operation next time; at the same time, the first switch 62 and the second switch 63 will reset under the action of the return spring B, and the entire folding assembly will return to its initial ready state.
