Detailed Implementation
[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] This utility model relates to a folding structure for a folding scooter, such as... Figures 1-2 As shown, it includes a fixing member 1, a flipping member 2 rotatably connected to the fixing member 1, and a locking device disposed inside the fixing member 1. The locking device can release or restrict the flipping of the flipping member 2 and the fixing member 1. The top surface of the flipping member 2 is vertically connected to the frame 3 of the scooter. The frame 3 can be the front frame, rear frame, or main frame of the scooter. The bottom of the fixing member 1 is connected to a base 9, which is a mounting seat. The entire device can be installed on the equipment that needs to be folded, such as the pedal of the scooter.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 3As shown, the fastener 1 includes a fastener body 11 and a slot 12 formed on the top surface of the fastener body 11. A first connecting hole 13 and a second connecting hole 14 are formed on both sides of the fastener 1. Figure 4 As shown, the flipping component 2 includes a flipping component body 21 rotatably connected to the fixing component body 11, and a positioning shaft 23 connected to the inner side of the flipping component body 21 and adapted to the slot 12. The flipping component 2 also has fourth connecting holes 22 on both sides adapted to the first connecting hole 13; Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the locking device includes a latch 4 movably connected to the inside of the fixing body 11. The latch 4 includes a connecting part 41, a first curved part 42 and a second curved part 43 respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the connecting part 41, and a third curved part 44 connected to the end of the second curved part 43 in a hook shape. The third curved part 44 is used to cooperate with the positioning shaft 23.
[0033] In this embodiment, both the fixing body 11 and the flipping body 21 are U-shaped structures. The outer side of the fixing body 11 is adapted to the inner side of the flipping body 21. When the flipping body 21 and the fixing body 11 are mounted and fitted together, the first connecting hole 13 and the fourth connecting hole 22 correspond to each other. The connecting component 6 is inserted into the first connecting hole 13 and the fourth connecting hole 22 to realize the rotational connection between the fixing body 11 and the flipping body 21. The second curved part 43 is provided with a first through hole 431. The connecting shaft 7 is inserted into the second connecting hole 14 and passes through the first through hole 431 to realize the rotational connection between the latch 4 and the fixing body 11.
[0034] In use, when the flipping body 21 is rotated and mounted on top of the fixing body 11, the positioning shaft 23 can be inserted into the slot 12. Then, by rotating the locking buckle 4, the third curved part 44 is hooked onto the upper side of the positioning shaft 23 to restrict the rotation of the flipping body 21. Conversely, if the locking buckle 4 is pushed down, the third curved part 44 is released from the hook with the positioning shaft 23, thus releasing the rotation between the flipping body 21 and the fixing body 11 and realizing folding.
[0035] It should be noted that the connecting component 6 includes bolts, washers, and nuts. The bolts serve as the rotating shaft, and the nuts and washers are used for positioning. This is a common rotating connection structure, which will not be described in detail here.
[0036] Furthermore, to prevent the safety hazard caused by the self-rotation of the latch 4 due to external forces, a limiting ring 5 is movably fitted around the periphery of the frame 3, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the limiting ring 5 includes a hinged ring 51 that is rotatably sleeved on the periphery of the frame 3, and a locking member 52 connected to the end of the hinged ring 51 to restrict the movement of the latch 4.
[0037] The inner wall of the hinge ring 51 is tangent to the outer periphery of the frame 3. When the third curved part 44 is hooked onto the periphery of the positioning shaft 23, the locking member 52 is inserted into the locking hole 421 by rotating the hinge ring 51, thereby restricting the radial rotation of the latch 4 on the hinge ring 51, preventing the latch 4 from slipping off, and achieving secondary locking of the latch 4 after folding and positioning, thus improving safety.
[0038] Furthermore, to prevent the hinge ring 51 from rotating due to external forces, continuous limiting teeth 521 are provided on the outer periphery of the locking member 52. A second through hole 432 is provided on the inner side of the bend of the third bend 44. An elastic member 10 is connected between the second through hole 432 and the connecting component 6. The elastic member 10 is a tension spring with hooks at both ends. The hooks at both ends of the tension spring hook into the second through hole 432 and the connecting component 6 respectively, thus achieving connection. In its natural state, the elastic member 10 constantly pulls the latch 4 to rotate towards the position of the connecting component 6, thereby causing the inner wall of the second through hole 432 away from the connecting component 6 to constantly abut against the outer periphery of the locking member 52. This allows the limiting teeth 521 to form an abutting fit with the inner wall of the second through hole 432, thereby limiting the axial rotation of the hinge ring 51 in the opposite direction and effectively preventing it from rotating due to external forces. This achieves three-fold locking of the latch 4 after folding and positioning, further improving security.
[0039] The folding structure of this utility model can be applied to various folding scooters with seats.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
