Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of go-kart technology, specifically to a collision-resistant go-kart. Background Technology
[0002] Go-karting, also known as karting or miniature racing, is a type of motorsport. As the name suggests, the cars driven by the drivers are much smaller and have less power output than professional-grade cars, making them suitable for beginners to learn and for recreational use. Go-karts are miniature racing cars among many types of racing cars, with a compact appearance and simple structure. Go-karting is the lowest starting point in motorsport and is the "cradle" for entering Formula 1 racing. In Europe, it is also known as "Mini Formula".
[0003] Existing recreational go-kart anti-collision systems are mostly oval-shaped high-strength protective surrounds with rubber support structures. The drawbacks of this structure are that the overall weight is relatively large, and the disassembly and replacement of such anti-collision systems are also relatively cumbersome. Once damaged, the replacement rate of parts is high. In addition, go-karts with oval-shaped high-strength protective surrounds are prone to getting stuck and losing a lot of kinetic energy and speed when colliding with other vehicles or with the track fence, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, the present invention aims to provide a collision-resistant go-kart with advantages such as simple structure, good collision protection, and a good user experience. It solves the problem that existing recreational go-kart collision protection systems mostly consist of an elliptical high-strength protective surround with rubber support. The drawbacks of this structure are its large overall weight, cumbersome disassembly and replacement, and a high percentage of parts need to be replaced when damaged. Furthermore, go-karts with elliptical high-strength protective surrounds are prone to jamming and significant loss of kinetic energy and speed during collisions with other vehicles or with track barriers, thus affecting the user experience.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a collision-resistant go-kart, comprising a metal frame, wherein the front and back of the metal frame are both inwardly curved, the left and right sides of the metal frame are both inwardly curved, and the surface of the metal frame is provided with four mounting arc grooves, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the metal frame. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting arc groove, and mounting bolts are provided inside the mounting bracket. Collision-resistant wheels are provided inside the mounting bracket.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner wall of the anti-collision wheel is fixedly connected to a bearing, the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the anti-collision wheel, and the inner ring of the bearing is fitted with a mounting bolt. The surface of the mounting bolt is threaded with a mounting nut, and both the mounting bolt and the mounting nut are fitted with the mounting bracket.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the surface of the anti-collision wheel is fitted with a buffer ring, which is made of rubber.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a driver's cabin is fixedly connected to the top of the metal frame.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the metal frame is provided with supporting wheels and swivel wheels, the interior of the metal frame is provided with motor wheels, the interior of the metal frame is provided with controller compartment and battery compartment, and the interior of the driver's cabin is provided with accelerator pedal.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0011] 1. This utility model adopts a metal frame with an inward arc design on both the front and back, as well as on the left and right sides. By installing anti-collision wheels at the four corners of the metal frame, when two go-karts collide, there is only a possibility of wheel-to-wheel or wheel-to-carriage collision, and no possibility of vehicle-to-vehicle collision. This improves the service life of the go-karts. When two vehicles collide, there will be no jamming. Utilizing the kinetic energy of the colliding vehicles, the rotatable anti-collision wheels can guide the colliding vehicles in a direction away from each other. This device has the advantages of simple structure, good anti-collision effect, and good user experience.
[0012] 2. By incorporating a bearing, this utility model reduces the friction between the anti-collision wheel and the mounting bolt, thereby facilitating the rotation of the anti-collision wheel. The mounting nut allows the operator to remove it, separating it from the mounting bolt. The operator then pulls out the mounting bolt, separating it from the mounting bracket, and removes the anti-collision wheel, thus completing its disassembly. This convenient disassembly of the anti-collision wheel facilitates future replacement or maintenance by the operator. Attached Figure Description

[0019] 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.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a collision-resistant go-kart includes a metal frame 1. The front and back of the metal frame 1 are both inwardly curved, and the left and right sides of the metal frame 1 are also inwardly curved. The surface of the metal frame 1 is provided with four mounting arc-shaped grooves 2, which are evenly distributed on the surface of the metal frame 1. Mounting brackets 3 are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting arc-shaped grooves 2. Mounting bolts 6 are provided inside the mounting brackets 3, and collision-resistant wheels 4 are provided inside the mounting brackets 3.
[0021] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The inner wall of the anti-collision wheel 4 is fixedly connected to a bearing, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixedly connected to the anti-collision wheel 4. The inner ring of the bearing is in contact with the mounting bolt 6. The surface of the mounting bolt 6 is threaded with a mounting nut 7. Both the mounting bolt 6 and the mounting nut 7 are in contact with the mounting bracket 3.
[0022] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the bearing, the friction between the anti-collision wheel 4 and the mounting bolt 6 can be reduced, thereby facilitating the rotation of the anti-collision wheel 4.
[0023] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The surface of the anti-collision wheel 4 is fitted with a buffer ring 5, which is made of rubber.
[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the buffer ring 5, the impact can be buffered when the anti-collision wheel 4 collides with the anti-collision wheels 4 of other go-karts, or when the anti-collision wheel 4 collides with the field fence.
[0025] refer to Figure 1 The top of the metal frame 1 is fixedly connected to the driver's cabin 8.
[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up the driver's cockpit 8, the user can sit in the driver's cockpit 8 and then control the go-kart. At the same time, the driver's cockpit 8 can protect the user.
[0027] refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the metal frame 1 is equipped with support wheels and swivel wheels. The interior of the metal frame 1 is equipped with motor wheels. The interior of the metal frame 1 is equipped with a controller compartment and a battery compartment. The interior of the driver's cabin 8 is equipped with an accelerator pedal.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the metal frame 1 can be supported by the setting of the small supporting wheels and the universal wheels, the motor wheels can be used to drive the movement of the device, and the controller compartment and the battery compartment can control and power the circuit of the go-kart respectively.
[0029] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the front and back of the metal frame 1 of this device are both inwardly curved, and the left and right sides of the metal frame 1 are also inwardly curved. By setting anti-collision wheels 4 at the four corners of the metal frame 1, when two go-karts collide, there is only the possibility of wheel-to-wheel collision or wheel-to-car body collision, and there is no possibility of car body-to-car body collision. This improves the service life of the go-karts. When two cars collide, there will be no jamming. Utilizing the kinetic energy of the colliding vehicles, the rotatable anti-collision wheels 4 can guide the colliding vehicles to a direction away from each other. Through the action of the anti-collision wheels 4, the impact force is converted into power, reducing kinetic energy loss and improving the user's driving experience.
[0030] In this application, the range of curvature parameters for the surface of the metal frame 1 is as follows, with the upper limit of curvature as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown:
[0031] Side arc: R = 0.6L Rot = 90°;

[0033] The lower limit of the radius is shown in the attached figure. Figure 5 As shown:
[0034] Side arc: R = L Rot = 60°;
[0035] Top arc: R = W Rot = 60°.
