Detailed Implementation

[0019] The following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments, provides further details. Figures 1-3As shown, this embodiment is a detachable four-wheeled vehicle, including a frame 1. The frame 1 includes at least two sets of first support rods 11 and second support rods 12. The upper end of the first support rod 11 is provided with a handle 2. The upper end of the second support rod 12 is hinged to the middle section of the first support rod 11 and has a forked structure. A folding assembly 3 is provided between the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12. The folding assembly 3 includes a first folding strip 31 and a second folding strip 32 that are hinged to each other at one end. One end of the first folding strip 31 is rotatably connected to the first support rod 11, and one end of the second folding strip 32 is rotatably connected to the second support rod 12. A lifting rod 33 is provided at the junction of the first folding strip 31 and the second folding strip 32. When the first folding strip 31 and the second folding strip 32 are folded up, the lifting rod 33 is lifted, and this lifting rod serves as the first folding rod. The hinge shafts of the first folding bar 31 and the second folding bar 32 are horizontally folded together. Specifically, when unfolded, the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12, the first folding bar 31, and the second folding bar 32 form a triangular support structure. When the user is standing, the handrail 2 can be used as a mobility aid, similar to a cane. The lifting rod 33 rotates to be in contact with the first support rod 11 or the second support rod 12. When the four-wheeled vehicle needs to be packed, the lifting rod 33 is lifted vertically, and the hinge joints of the first folding bar 31 and the second folding bar 32 rotate to bring them together. The second support rod 12 and the first support rod 11 also fold together, reducing the space occupied and thus requiring less packaging volume, which is more conducive to transportation and handling.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, at least one connecting pipe 4 connects adjacent first support rods 11, and at least one reinforcing rod 5 is provided between adjacent second support rods 12; one end of the first folding strip 31 is connected to the connecting pipe 4, and the second folding strip 32 is connected to the reinforcing rod 5; specifically, the connecting pipe 4 and the reinforcing rod 5 are used to connect to the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 respectively, and one end of the lifting rod 33 can serve as the hinge shaft between the first folding strip 31 and the second folding strip 32. When the lifting rod 33 rotates, one end of it abuts against the surface of the reinforcing rod 5 to prevent the second support rod 12 and the first support rod 11 from coming together, so that the frame 1 maintains a triangular support state.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to avoid excessive rotation between the second folding strip 32 and the first folding strip 31, the first folding strip 31 is provided with a limiting fold edge 311, so that when the first folding strip 31 and the second folding strip 32 are unfolded, the second folding strip 32 is in contact with the limiting fold edge 311, that is, the first folding strip 31 and the second folding strip 32 are on approximately a straight line.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment also includes a seat cushion 6, which is installed on the connecting tube 4 and the reinforcing rod 5. Specifically, by adding the seat cushion 6, the user can sit on the seat cushion 6 to rest when walking is tiring. The first folding bar 31, the second folding bar 32 and the lifting rod 33 are hidden under the seat cushion 6. The lifting rod 33 is rotated to a position close to the first folding bar 31 and the second folding bar 32, making the structure of the frame 1 more concise.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the user's comfort, this embodiment also includes a backrest 7 located above the seat cushion 6, which is installed between the two first support rods 11.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the two ends of the backrest 7 are sleeved on the first support rod 11, and the first support rod 11 has a number of evenly spaced adjustment mounting holes 111 for the backrest 7 to connect; specifically, the two ends of the backrest 7 have collars that slide on the first support rod 11, and the position of the backrest 7 can be adjusted according to the user's height so that the collars are aligned with the corresponding adjustment mounting holes 111 for locking.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom of the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 are provided with rollers 8, and the lower end of the second support rod 12 is rotatably connected to a brake pressure plate 92. One end of the brake pressure plate 92 is connected to a brake cable 91. A brake handle 9 connected to the brake cable 91 is installed on the handrail 2. Specifically, when a person holds the handrail 2, they can also contact the brake handle 9, similar to a bicycle. When the four-wheeled vehicle is moved, gripping the brake handle 9 can pull the brake cable 91, causing the brake pressure plate 92 to flip and press against the surface of the roller 8, preventing the roller 8 from moving. For example, when the user is using it on a downhill road, the wheel will roll and may cause the user to fall. However, when the user holds the handrail 2 and grips the handle 9, the roller 8 can be prevented from rotating, thus improving the safety of the four-wheeled vehicle.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the lifting rod 33 has a U-shaped structure. One end of the lifting rod 33 with this U-shaped structure is used as a hinge axis for the first folding bar 31 and the second folding bar 32. When the lifting rod 33 is folded up and hidden under the seat cushion, the other end of the lifting rod is close to the reinforcing rod 5.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, in order to further reduce the packaging volume and pack the parts of the four-wheeled vehicle into a smaller packaging box, the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 12 adopt a splicing structure. The first support rod 11 is a splicing of multiple pipe sections, and the roller 8 is connected and fixed to one of the pipe sections.

[0028] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
