Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric scooter technology, and in particular to a protective structure for rear shock absorption of an electric scooter. Background Technology

[0002] With the diversification of urban travel options, electric scooters, as a convenient and flexible mode of transportation, are gradually gaining popularity among consumers. However, traditional electric scooters also have some problems. The rear shock absorber is located between the pedal and the rear wheel. When the electric scooter is in motion, it drives the rear wheel forward, and dust and mud from the road surface follow the wheel forward and then enter the rear shock absorber. When the dust and mud get stuck in the shock absorber spring, the shock absorption effect of the electric scooter will deteriorate, and it may even reduce the lifespan of the rear shock absorber. Therefore, further optimization and improvement are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a protective structure for the rear shock absorption of an electric scooter. By setting a protective component between the rear shock absorption device and the rear wheel, not only is it possible to reduce the entry of mud and sand into the rear shock absorption device and affect the shock absorption effect of the electric scooter, thus extending the service life of the rear shock absorption device, but it is also possible to prevent mud and sand from splashing and keep the electric scooter clean.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A protective structure for rear shock absorption of an electric scooter includes a footrest, two opposing swing arms, a rear shock absorber, and a rear wheel. The front ends of the two swing arms are fixedly connected to the left and right rear ends of the footrest, and the rear ends of the two swing arms are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rear wheel. The rear shock absorber is disposed between the two swing arms, with its upper end fixedly connected to the rear end of the footrest and its lower end fixedly connected to the inner side of the two swing arms. The scooter also includes a protective member disposed along the outer periphery of the rear wheel near the wheel, separating the rear shock absorber from the rear wheel. The left and right sides of the protective member are fixedly connected to the corresponding sides of the two swing arms.

[0006] Furthermore, the protective component includes a main body that has the same curvature as the circumference of the rear wheel in the vertical direction, and mounting portions that are horizontally disposed on the left and right sides of the lower end of the main body and integrally formed therewith.

[0007] Furthermore, the middle part of the protective component body is bent backward to the left and right sides, and the width of the protective component body gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0008] Furthermore, the protective component body has a connecting opening at its lower vertical center that exposes the outer circumference of the rear wheel, and the width of the connecting opening gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0009] Furthermore, the mounting portions on the left and right sides of the main body of the protective component are respectively fixedly connected to the upper ends of the corresponding two swing arms.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the main body of the protective component is greater than the width of the outer circumferential surface of the rear wheel.

[0011] Furthermore, the main body of the protective component is positioned in front of the outer periphery of the rear wheel and forms a clearance space between the rear wheel and the rear wheel.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper height of the main body of the protective component is lower than the upper height of the rear wheel and the rear shock absorber.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] First, the protective component of this utility model is set between the rear shock absorber and the rear wheel and separates the two. The main body of the protective component has the same arc as the circumference of the rear wheel and is fixed in front of the rear wheel. When the rear wheel rotates forward, the mud and sand move forward with it. Most of the mud and sand are blocked inside the main body of the protective component, which effectively prevents the mud and sand from splashing into the rear shock absorber and making the shock absorption effect worse. At the same time, it prevents the mud and sand from splashing onto the footrest or user when the rear wheel rotates forward, keeping the electric scooter clean and tidy.

[0015] Secondly, a connecting opening is provided on the main body of the protective component. When the rear wheel rotates forward, mud and sand follow it forward and are discharged from the main body of the protective component through the connecting opening. This reduces dust and mud on the outer circumference of the rear wheel and inside the main body of the protective component, making it cleaner and tidier. At the same time, it prevents mud and sand from falling and being crushed by the rear wheel, which would cause the electric scooter to become unstable. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a protective structure for the rear shock absorption of an electric scooter, including a footrest 1, two opposing swing arms 2, a rear shock absorber 3, and a rear wheel 4. The front ends of the two swing arms 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rear end of the footrest 1, and the rear ends of the two swing arms 2 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the rear wheel 4. The rear shock absorber 3 is disposed between the two swing arms 2, with its upper end fixedly connected to the rear end of the footrest 1 and its lower end fixedly connected to the inner side of the two swing arms 2. It also includes a protective member 5, which is disposed along the outer periphery of the rear wheel 4 near the rear wheel 4 and is disposed between the rear shock absorber 3 and the rear wheel 4, separating the two. The left and right sides of the protective member 5 are respectively fixedly connected to the corresponding sides of the two swing arms 2.

[0023] In this embodiment, the protective component 5 includes a protective component body 51 with the same arc as the circumference of the rear wheel 4 in the vertical direction, and an installation part 52 that is horizontally arranged on the left and right sides of the lower end of the protective component body 51 and integrally formed therewith. When the rear wheel 4 rotates forward, mud, sand, dust and liquids on the ground move forward around the outer circumference of the rear wheel 4 under the action of the rear wheel 4 until they are blocked by the inner wall of the protective component body 51, so that the mud and sand received by the rear shock absorber 3 are reduced, the shock absorption effect of the rear shock absorber 3 is reduced, and the service life is extended.

[0024] In this embodiment, the middle part of the protective body 51 is bent backward to the left and right sides, and the width of the protective body 51 gradually decreases from bottom to top, thereby preventing mud and sand from splashing from both sides of the protective body 51 onto the rear shock absorber 3 and the footrest 1, keeping the electric scooter clean and tidy.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lower end of the protective body 51 located at its vertical center is provided with a connecting opening 511 that exposes the outer circumference of the rear wheel 4. The width of the connecting opening 511 gradually decreases from bottom to top. When mud and sand splash into the protective body 51, they can be thrown out of the electric scooter through the connecting opening 511 to prevent affecting the normal rotation of the rear wheel.

[0026] In this embodiment, the mounting portions 52 on the left and right sides of the protective body 51 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the corresponding side swing arms 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the width of the protective body 51 is greater than the width of the outer circumference of the rear wheel 4, thereby preventing mud and sand from splashing from the upper side of the protective body 51 onto the rear shock absorber 3 and the footrest 1, keeping the electric scooter clean and tidy.

[0028] In this embodiment, the protective body 51 is positioned in front of the outer periphery of the rear wheel 4 and forms a clearance space 6 between it and the rear wheel 4. When mud and sand splash between the protective body 51 and the rear wheel 4, they enter the clearance space 6 and act as a buffer. If the space between the protective body 51 and the rear wheel 4 is too small, the mud and sand entering it will increase the friction with the rear wheel 4, which will not only reduce the stability of the electric scooter, but also reduce the durability of the rear wheel 4.

[0029] In this embodiment, the upper height of the protective body 51 is lower than the upper height of the rear wheel 4 and the rear shock absorber 3.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent application and the description of the utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model patent.
