Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of scooters, and more particularly to a scooter locking structure. Background Technology

[0002] The scooter's stand has a height adjustment function to accommodate users of different heights. Currently, the stand height adjustment mechanism of scooters on the market mainly uses springs and ball bearings. The stand has a positioning hole for the ball bearing to pass through. When the height of the stand needs to be adjusted, press the ball bearing to retract it into the positioning hole, which will then move the stand up or down. After the stand height is adjusted, the spring will cause the ball bearing to lock into the positioning hole, thus fixing the stand. However, during the process of adjusting the stand height, sometimes pressing too much may cause the ball bearing to be difficult to spring back into the positioning hole after retraction, thus affecting subsequent use. This needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing scooter stand locking mechanisms, such as the tendency for the pins to be excessively pressed into the stand and unable to return to their original position, thus affecting the subsequent use of the stand. It provides a new scooter locking structure.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A scooter locking structure includes a base and a pole. The base has a mounting cavity, and the end of the pole is inserted into the mounting cavity. The inner wall of the mounting cavity and the pole have locking holes and through holes, respectively. The structure also includes a safety buckle slidably disposed within the pole. One side of the safety buckle protrudes from the outer wall of the pole and the base. The safety buckle has a locking block. A positioning rod is disposed within the mounting cavity opposite to the side end of the safety buckle. The base, pole, and safety buckle are in a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking block protrudes from the through hole and is locked within the locking hole. In the unlocked state, the safety buckle moves inward toward the pole, the locking block retracts from the locking hole, and the safety buckle abuts against the positioning rod.

[0006] The positioning rod limits the movement distance of the safety buckle and locking block within the upright, preventing excessive pressure on the safety buckle from causing the locking block and safety buckle to fail to reset. The safety buckle provides the user with a point of force application, making it convenient for the user to unlock or lock the upright, thus improving the ease of use and safety.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-described scooter locking structure, the safety buckle includes a buckle plate with elastic deformation capability, a return spring, and a button disposed on the buckle plate. The button protrudes from the outer surface of the upright and the base. The buckle plate includes an arc-shaped segment and a vertical segment distributed from top to bottom. The upper end of the arc-shaped segment is inclined horizontally away from the rear side of the vertical segment and abuts against the inner wall of the upright. The locking block is disposed at the end of the vertical segment. In the locked state, the locking block is inserted into the locking hole and the vertical segment is in contact with the inner wall of the upright. In the unlocked state, the locking block is withdrawn from the locking hole and inserted into the through hole. The vertical segment is in contact with the positioning rod, the arc-shaped segment extends upward along the height direction, and the return spring is compressed.

[0008] The arc-shaped segment combined with the return spring can apply a stronger outward moving and returning force to the vertical segment, thereby further improving the smoothness of the locking block's reset. The vertical segment increases the contact area between the safety buckle and the inner wall of the upright in the locked state, improving the stability of the locking block when it is locked in the locking hole.

[0009] Preferably, in the scooter locking structure described above, the bottom of the base is provided with a support platform, the upper surface of which is flush with the lower surface of the locking block. In the unlocked state, the upper end of the support platform supports the locking block.

[0010] The support platform can support the bottom of the locking block, keeping the locking block aligned with the locking hole, which further improves the smoothness of the return spring pushing the locking block to reset.

[0011] Preferably, in the above-described scooter locking structure, the positioning rod is a bolt, and the end of the positioning rod protrudes from the upper surface of the support platform.

[0012] The positioning rod is bolted, which not only enables the positioning rod to be detached from the base, but also improves the convenience of installing the positioning rod on the support platform.

[0013] Preferably, in the above-described scooter locking structure, the return spring is V-shaped, one end of the return spring is bent horizontally to form a mounting hook, the inner end of the safety buckle and locking block is provided with a mounting groove, the mounting hook is inserted into the mounting groove for engagement, the other end of the return spring abuts against the inner wall of the upright and the mounting groove, and the return spring pushes the locking block into the locking hole.

[0014] The return spring is V-shaped, which allows it to be fixed in place by the mounting slot and the inner wall of the upright, thus improving the ease of assembly of the safety buckle. The other end of the return spring is bent to form a mounting hook and extends into the locking block through the mounting slot, allowing the return spring to push the locking block to reset more forcefully.

[0015] Preferably, in the scooter locking structure described above, the end of the buckle has an anti-slip protrusion.

[0016] The anti-slip protrusions prevent the user from slipping when pressing the buttons, thus improving the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, but these are not intended to limit the present invention:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a scooter locking structure includes a base 1 and a pole 2. The base 1 has a mounting cavity 11, and the end of the pole 2 is inserted into the mounting cavity 11. The inner side wall of the mounting cavity 11 and the pole 2 are respectively provided with a locking hole 12 and a through hole 21. It also includes a safety buckle 3 slidably disposed in the pole 2. One side of the safety buckle 3 protrudes from the outer side wall of the pole 2 and the base 1. The safety buckle 3 is provided with a locking block 4. The mounting cavity 11 is provided with a positioning rod 5 opposite to the side end of the safety buckle 3. The base 1, the pole 2 and the safety buckle 3 are in a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the locking block 4 protrudes from the through hole 21 and is locked in the locking hole 12. In the unlocked state, the safety buckle 3 moves into the pole 2, the locking block 4 exits from the locking hole 12, and the safety buckle 3 abuts against the positioning rod 5.

[0025] Preferably, the safety buckle 3 includes a buckle plate 31 with elastic deformation capability, a return spring 32, and a buckle button 33 disposed on the buckle plate 31. The buckle button 33 protrudes from the outer surface of the upright 2 and the base 1. The buckle plate 31 includes an arc-shaped segment 311 and a vertical segment 312 distributed from top to bottom. The upper end of the arc-shaped segment 311 is inclined in the horizontal direction away from the rear side of the vertical segment 312 and abuts against the inner wall of the upright 2. The locking block 4 is disposed at the end of the vertical segment 312. In the locked state, the locking block 4 is inserted into the locking hole 12 and the vertical segment 312 is in contact with the inner wall of the upright 2. In the unlocked state, the locking block 4 is withdrawn from the locking hole 12 and inserted into the through hole 21. The vertical segment 312 is in contact with the positioning rod 5, the arc-shaped segment 311 extends upward in the height direction, and the return spring 32 is compressed.

[0026] Preferably, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a support platform 6, the upper surface of which is flush with the lower surface of the locking block 4. When in the unlocked state, the upper end of the support platform 6 supports the locking block 4.

[0027] Preferably, the positioning rod 5 is a bolt, and the end of the positioning rod 5 protrudes from the upper surface of the support platform 6.

[0028] Preferably, the return spring 32 is V-shaped, with one end bent horizontally to form a mounting hook 321. The inner ends of the safety buckle 3 and the locking block 4 are provided with mounting grooves 7. The mounting hook 321 is inserted into the mounting groove 7 for engagement. The other end of the return spring 32 is pressed against the inner wall of the upright 2 opposite to the mounting groove 7. The return spring 32 pushes the locking block 4 into the locking hole 12.

[0029] Preferably, the end of the button 33 has an anti-slip protrusion 331.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the locking block 4 is located on the bottom side wall of the vertical section 312 and extends horizontally away from the arc section 311. The mounting hook 321 and the mounting groove 7 are L-shaped. The upper half of the mounting groove 7 is distributed on the inner side of the rear end of the vertical section 312 and extends along the height direction. The lower half of the mounting groove 7 extends horizontally and is distributed inside the locking block 4. Thus, one side of the return spring 32 and the locking block 4 can be connected through the mutual cooperation of the mounting hook 321 and the mounting groove 7, so that the return spring 32 can more forcefully push the locking block 4 to move and reset closer to the locking hole 12, improving the smoothness of the return spring 32 pushing the buckle plate 31 and the locking block 4 to reset.

[0031] More specifically, the front side of the locking block 4 is inclined with a clearance surface. The lower end of the clearance surface is inclined towards the rear side of the locking block 4 along the height direction. The clearance surface can make way for the locking block 4 to be inserted into the through hole 21 and the locking hole 12.

[0032] When it is necessary to unlock the upright 2, press the buckle 33 inward. At this time, the buckle plate 31 is pushed and the vertical section 312 drives the locking block 4 to move into the upright 2 until the vertical section 312 abuts against the side wall of the positioning rod 5. The locking block 4 is then removed from the locking hole 12 along with the buckle plate 31. The front end of the locking block 4 is still inserted in the through hole 21. The support platform 6 can support the bottom of the locking block 4. Thus, while realizing the function of unlocking the upright 2, it can not only limit the movement range of the safety buckle 3 in the upright 2, but also keep the locking block 4 aligned with the locking hole 12. This further improves the smoothness of the reset spring 32 and the buckle plate 31 pushing the safety buckle 3 and the locking block 4 to reset, making it more convenient to use.

[0033] In summary, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall be covered by the present utility model.
