Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical technology, and more specifically, to a go-kart. Background Technology

[0002] Go-karts, as recreational vehicles, are widely popular in the experience zones of large commercial complexes such as shopping malls. However, the charging and maintenance of their core power source—the high-performance battery pack—has always been a bottleneck restricting operational efficiency. Traditional direct charging methods, limited by battery technology, have charging cycles that take two to three hours, making it difficult to meet the rapid turnover needs during peak hours. Therefore, businesses generally adopt a strategy of frequently replacing battery packs at night or during off-peak hours to ensure the continuity of daytime operations.

[0003] However, the current design of go-kart battery installation has significant shortcomings. In particular, the layout where the battery is fixed behind the seat, while saving space and keeping the vehicle's appearance neat, requires technicians to disassemble most of the rear components of the go-kart and bend over to reach into the vehicle during battery maintenance and replacement. This process is time-consuming and laborious, seriously affecting operational efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and to propose a go-kart.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. The present utility model will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0019] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a go-kart includes a body 100, with two vertical rods 11 on the body. A diagonal brace 13 is provided between the vertical rods and the body. A first mounting rod 12 is provided at the top of the vertical rods. A rotating frame 14 is rotatably connected to the first mounting rod. A display cover 200 is provided on the outside of the rotating frame. A swing rod 15 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame. A second mounting rod 17 is provided on the diagonal brace. The swing rod and the second mounting rod are locked and fixed by bolts and nuts. A sliding sleeve 18 is slidably fitted on the diagonal brace. A locking knob 19 is threadedly connected to the sliding sleeve. An upper support rod 16 is rotatably connected to the sliding sleeve. The other end of the upper support rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating frame. A positioning hole 131 is provided on the diagonal brace.

[0020] When it is necessary to remove the battery, first remove the bolts at the bottom of the swing arm, then pull the sliding sleeve to make the rotating frame rotate around the joint between the first mounting rod and the rotating frame until the locking knob can be inserted into the positioning hole. At this point, the rotating frame and display cover will no longer interfere with the removal of the battery.

[0021] In at least one embodiment, the vehicle body includes a base plate 21, on which a lifting mechanism is provided. A power battery 300 is placed on the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism can assist in vertically lifting the power battery, avoiding the need for people to bend over and reach out to retrieve the battery.

[0022] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes multiple left rods 22 and right rods 24. The base plate is provided with a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft. The left rods 22 are rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft, and the right rods 24 are rotatably connected to the second rotating shaft. The top of the left and right rods is rotatably connected to a support plate 23. A power battery 300 is placed on the support plate. Both the first and second rotating shafts are provided with torsion springs, which can drive the support plate to move away from the base plate.

[0023] Furthermore, a limiting plate 26 is provided on the base plate. When the left rod rotates to a vertical position under the action of the torsion spring, the limiting plate can prevent the left rod from continuing to rotate counterclockwise.

[0024] After the power battery is installed, in order to prevent the left and right rods from rotating due to the torsion spring, a fastening bolt 25 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the base plate. The fastening bolt passes through the base plate and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole at the bottom of the support plate.

[0025] When people need to remove the battery, first loosen the fastening bolts so that the fastening bolts are separated from the support plate. At this time, the left and right rods rotate under the action of the torsion springs. The left rod rotates to a vertical position under the action of the torsion springs. Then, people rotate the fastening bolts so that the top of the fastening bolts abuts against the bottom of the support plate. At this time, the limiting plate can restrict the left rod from continuing to rotate counterclockwise, while the fastening bolts can also restrict the position movement of the support plate.

[0026] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a vertical sleeve 31 is slidably fitted onto the vertical rod, and a pressure plate 33 is provided between the two vertical sleeves. A flexible plate 34 is provided at the bottom of the pressure plate, and a fastening knob 32 is threaded onto the vertical sleeve. After the power battery is installed, the pressure plate can be pressed against the top of the power battery and locked by the fastening knob. The combination of the pressure plate and the flexible plate ensures the stability of the battery during driving and avoids damage to the battery caused by rigid fixing.

[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
