AI Technical Summary
The braking system of existing electric tricycles lacks independence, which means that the vehicle cannot brake properly when the braking parts are damaged, posing a safety hazard. In addition, the existing independent braking system is only suitable for four-wheeled microcars, which is too expensive and unsuitable for electric tricycles.
A novel braking structure for electric tricycles is designed, in which the front and rear brake discs are connected to the handbrake lever via brake cables, and the rear brake disc is connected to the foot brake bend via a brake cable, thereby achieving independence between the parking system and the braking system. The failure of either system will not affect the normal operation of the other system.
The parking system and braking system are independent, ensuring that the electric tricycle can still drive normally when one system fails, thus improving passenger safety and driving comfort.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric tricycle technology, specifically a novel braking structure for electric tricycles. Background Technology
[0002] Electric tricycles have become ubiquitous in our lives, and people are paying close attention to their safety. Currently, the braking systems of electric tricycles on the market vary widely, including drum brakes, hydraulic brakes, and a combination of both. They are all essentially the same.
[0003] These are not independent braking systems. Once the braking components of an electric tricycle fail, the vehicle will not be able to brake properly, posing many safety hazards to passengers. Currently, only some four-wheeled microcars on the market have independent braking systems, but this structure is limited to hydraulic brake models, and it controls all four wheels simultaneously when parked, which is also costly and not suitable for electric tricycles.
[0004] Therefore, a novel braking structure for electric tricycles is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel braking structure for electric tricycles to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a novel braking structure for an electric tricycle, comprising a front wheel brake disc, two rear wheel brake discs and two handbrake levers, wherein a front wheel brake caliper is mounted on the front wheel brake disc, and a rear wheel brake caliper is mounted on each of the two rear wheel brake discs, and the front wheel brake caliper and the two rear wheel brake calipers are respectively connected to the two handbrake levers via brake cables;
[0007] The front wheel brake caliper is also connected to the foot brake bend via a brake cable, and the two rear wheel brake calipers are also equipped with brake cables, which are connected to the foot brake bend.
[0008] Preferably, the front wheel brake caliper is connected to a handbrake lever via a brake cable.
[0009] Preferably, the two rear brake calipers are connected to another handbrake lever via brake cables.
[0010] Preferably, the foot brake bend has a pull rod, and a connecting rod is installed on the pull rod.
[0011] Preferably, the two brake cables are connected to both ends of the connecting rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it enables the parking system and the braking system to exist independently, and the failure of either braking system will not affect the use of the other braking system, thus providing an extra layer of protection for passenger safety while ensuring the normal operation of the electric tricycle.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0016] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel electric tricycle braking structure, including a front wheel brake disc 1, two rear wheel brake discs 8 and two handbrake levers 4. A front wheel brake caliper 2 is installed on the front wheel brake disc 1, and a rear wheel brake caliper 9 is installed on each of the two rear wheel brake discs 8. The front wheel brake caliper 2 and the two rear wheel brake calipers 9 are respectively connected to the two handbrake levers 4 through brake cables.
[0017] The front wheel brake caliper 2 is also connected to the foot brake bend 3 via a brake cable, and the two rear wheel brake calipers 9 are also equipped with brake cables 7, which are connected to the foot brake bend 3.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown: the front wheel brake caliper 2 is connected to a handbrake lever 4 via a brake cable, and the two rear wheel brake calipers 9 are connected to another handbrake lever 4 via brake cables; with the above settings, the front wheel is braked by one handbrake lever 4, and the two rear wheels are braked by the other handbrake lever 4. It has the characteristics of being quick, sensitive and easy to operate, and can more effectively ensure the safety of people riding.
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown: There is a pull rod 5 on the foot brake bend 3, and a connecting rod 6 is installed on the pull rod 5. Two brake cables 7 are connected to the two ends of the connecting rod 6. Through the above settings, the brake cables 7 connect the two rear wheel brake calipers 9 to the foot brake bend 3. The foot brake bend 3 is used to realize the braking function. When you step on it, you can control all three wheels at the same time, so that the electric tricycle can stop safely and smoothly, giving the driver a smooth and comfortable driving experience.
[0020] Working Principle: The vehicle uses two handbrake levers (4) for parking, offering quick, sensitive, and convenient operation, effectively ensuring rider safety. Secondly, a foot brake (3) provides braking, allowing simultaneous control of all three wheels with a single press, bringing the electric tricycle to a safe and smooth stop, providing the driver with a stable and comfortable riding experience. This structure allows the parking and braking systems to operate independently; failure of either system does not affect the other, ensuring normal operation of the electric tricycle while providing an extra layer of safety.
[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
