Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a scooter frame, and more particularly to a scooter frame equipped with a hidden kickstand. Background Technology

[0002] A scooter's kickstand (often called a stand or support) is a device used to keep the scooter upright and stable when parked. When the scooter is parked, the kickstand contacts the ground, distributing the weight of the scooter and preventing it from tipping over. Existing scooter kickstands are mainly divided into two types: exposed and concealed.

[0003] Exposed kickstands (such as U-shaped kickstands and single kickstands) require external space and are prone to interfering with ground debris while riding. Furthermore, when folded, they protrude from the side of the frame, posing a risk of scratching clothing, plastic bags, or other flexible obstacles.

[0004] While concealed kickstands (such as those with built-in pivots or spring-loaded telescopic kickstands) solve the problem of exposure, when the kickstands are stored inside the frame, they need to be unlocked by twisting or pressing at a specific angle, requiring manual operation and not foot operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] A scooter frame equipped with a concealed kickstand includes: a frame and a kickstand. The frame has a kickstand fixing member inside, which is connected to the kickstand. The kickstand is provided with an extended foot pedal, the outermost end of which extends out of the side of the frame. When the kickstand is retracted into the kickstand fixing member, only the extended foot pedal protrudes from the frame.

[0006] This invention solves the problem of "inconvenient kickstand opening" by using the technical solution that "the outermost end of the extended foot pedal of the kickstand extends out of the side of the frame."

[0007] This utility model solves the problem that "when the kickstand is retracted into the kickstand fixing component, only the extended foot pedal portion protrudes from the frame," which is a problem in the existing system where "the kickstand protrudes completely from the frame when the kickstand is retracted, making it easy to snag on obstacles such as fabrics and plastic bags during riding."

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A scooter frame equipped with a concealed kickstand includes: a frame and a kickstand. The frame has a kickstand fixing member inside, which is connected to the kickstand. The kickstand is provided with an extended foot pedal, the outermost end of which extends out of the side of the frame. When the kickstand is retracted into the kickstand fixing member, only the extended foot pedal protrudes from the frame.

[0010] Further configuration: The frame is equipped with: cavity one, cavity two, cavity three, cavity four, and cavity five. The foot support fastener is embedded in cavity one. A foot support mounting hole is provided on one side wall of the cavity. The foot support fastener is provided with a foot support mounting cavity, which is aligned with the foot support mounting hole.

[0011] Further, the foot support mounting cavity is equipped with a connecting column and a limiting column. The foot support is equipped with a connecting column hole and a limiting notch. The connecting column is set in the connecting column hole, and the foot support can rotate around the connecting column as an axis. When the foot support is opened to the maximum angle, the limiting notch abuts against the limiting column.

[0012] Further, a torsion spring is installed inside the connecting column hole, so that the foot support will retract into the foot support mounting cavity when the foot support is off the ground.

[0013] This invention solves the problem of "inconvenient kickstand opening" by using the technical solution that "the outermost end of the extended foot pedal of the kickstand extends out of the side of the frame."

[0014] This utility model solves the problem that "when the kickstand is retracted into the kickstand fixing component, only the extended foot pedal portion protrudes from the frame," which is a problem in the existing system where "the kickstand protrudes completely from the frame when the kickstand is retracted, making it easy to snag on obstacles such as fabrics and plastic bags during riding."

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0025] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views of the device structure may be partially enlarged, not according to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown: This utility model provides a scooter frame equipped with a hidden foot support, including a frame 1, a foot support fixing member 2, and a foot support 3.

[0028] Preferably, the frame 1 has cavities 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 arranged longitudinally inside, which reduces weight while maintaining structural rigidity through a hollow design. High-strength foam material can be filled into cavities 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 to absorb road vibrations. Cavity 11 is located on the side of the frame and is used for the embedded installation of the foot support fastener 2. The side wall of cavity 11 has a foot support mounting hole 16, which is aligned with the foot support mounting cavity 21 inside the foot support fastener 2.

[0029] Preferably, the foot support fixing member 2 is fixed in the cavity 11 by bolts or welding, and the gap between the foot support fixing member 2 and the cavity 11 is sealed with sealant. A foot support mounting cavity 21 is provided inside the cavity.

[0030] Preferably, the foot support 3 is sleeved onto the connecting post 22 through the connecting post hole 31, and the two ends of the connecting post 22 are fixed to the inner wall of the foot support mounting cavity 21, so that the foot support 3 can rotate around the connecting post 22.

[0031] Preferably, a limiting notch 32 is provided on one side of the foot support 3. When the foot support 3 is extended to the maximum angle, the limiting notch 32 engages with the limiting post 23 in the foot support mounting cavity 21 to prevent excessive extension from causing structural deformation.

[0032] Preferably, when the foot support 3 is fully retracted into the foot support fixing member 2, the outermost end of its extended foot pedal 33 extends out of the side of the frame 1, and the rest is hidden in the cavity 11.

[0033] Preferably, the extended foot pad 33 adopts an arc-shaped curved surface design and is covered with an anti-slip rubber layer, which can reduce the pressure when the foot contacts the pad and prevent it from scratching clothing.

[0034] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0035] 1. Deployment process: The user presses down on the extended foot pedal 33 with the sole of their foot, and the foot support 3 rotates clockwise around the connecting column 22. When the foot support 3 is deployed to its maximum position, the limiting notch 32 abuts against the limiting column 23, forming a mechanical limit. At this time, the foot support 3 is perpendicular to the ground and supports the frame 1.

[0036] 2. Retraction process: A torsion spring is pre-installed in the connecting post hole 31 of the foot support 3. If the foot support 3 leaves the foot support mounting cavity 21 due to bumps, the torsion spring will release its potential energy after being compressed and stored, driving the foot support 3 to rotate counterclockwise until it is completely retracted into the foot support mounting cavity 21. The process of the foot support 3 retracting into the foot support mounting cavity 21 when the state of the frame 1 supported by the foot support 3 changes to the driving state is the same as above.

[0037] This utility model solves the problem of "inconvenient opening of the foot support 3" by using the technical solution that "the outermost end of the extended foot pedal 33 of the foot support 3 extends out of the side of the frame 1".

[0038] This utility model solves the problem that "when the foot support 3 is retracted into the foot support fixing member 2, only the extended foot pedal 33 protrudes from the frame 1".

[0039] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no conflict in the mechanism, the features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
