Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of go-kart technology, specifically to an auxiliary cornering device. Background Technology

[0002] During go-karting, especially when cornering, vehicles often struggle to navigate smoothly because the contact point between the vehicle and the corner wall is less than ideal, making collisions more likely and hindering cornering. Furthermore, this contact causes friction, resulting in speed loss and impacting overall performance. Traditional solutions to these problems typically include optimizing tire performance or installing rollers around the vehicle to assist cornering.

[0003] When using rollers to assist in cornering, the rollers are the first to contact the inner wall of the curve when the vehicle comes into contact with it. As a result, the rollers experience a greater impact force and greater pressure between the rollers and their internal shafts. Consequently, the friction between the rollers and shafts is greater. Over time, the shafts will wear down and deform, hindering the rotation of the rollers and greatly reducing their cornering assistance effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary device for cornering.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary cornering device, comprising a go-kart body, a protective belt installed around the periphery of the go-kart body, and roller assemblies respectively arranged at the four corners of the protective belt; the roller assembly includes two support frames fixedly installed on the protective belt, the two support frames being arranged vertically, and an axle being arranged between the two support frames, with a rotating wheel rotatably mounted on the surface of the axle; a first magnetic ring is fixedly installed on the periphery of the axle, and a second magnetic ring coaxially arranged with the first magnetic ring is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rotating wheel, the second magnetic ring being sleeved outside the first magnetic ring, and the magnetic poles of the opposite surfaces of the first and second magnetic rings being the same.

[0006] Furthermore, two baffles are fixedly installed on the circumferential side of the shaft, with the two baffles located on both sides of the rotating wheel respectively.

[0007] Furthermore, the side of the baffle closest to the rotating wheel is provided with multiple ball bearings.

[0008] Furthermore, buffer components are provided on both sides of the shaft, and the buffer components are mounted on the support frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer includes a guide rod fixedly mounted on the bracket, a slider fixedly mounted on the shaft, a through hole through which the guide rod passes on the slider, a spring arranged axially on the guide rod, one end of the spring being fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end of the spring being fixedly connected to the support frame.

[0010] Furthermore, the first and second magnetic coils are toroidal permanent magnets.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer surface of the rotor is provided with a wear-resistant rubber layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the support frame and the protective belt are connected by detachable bolts.

[0013] Furthermore, a lubricating component is fixedly installed on the support frame, and when the shaft moves along the guide rod, the lubricating component contacts the circumferential side of the wheel.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The protective belt is fixedly installed on the periphery of the go-kart body, and a roller assembly consisting of two support frames is installed at each corner of the protective belt. The support frames are fixed vertically, making the axle axis vertical. When the vehicle is cornering, the roller on the protective belt contacts the inner wall of the curve first. Under the pressure of the collision, the roller will drive the second magnetic ring to move towards the axle, that is, towards the first magnetic ring. Through the mutual repulsion of the same magnetic poles between the first and second magnetic rings, the roller and the axle will not contact each other, thus eliminating wear between them. The roller will also rotate faster, making the vehicle turn more smoothly, and extending the service life of the roller assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3 This embodiment provides an auxiliary cornering device, including a go-kart body 1, a protective belt 2 installed around the go-kart body 1, and roller assemblies 3 respectively provided at the four corners of the protective belt 2; the roller assembly 3 includes two support frames 31 fixedly installed on the protective belt 2, the two support frames 31 are connected to the protective belt 2 by detachable bolts, the support frames 31 are arranged in a vertical direction, and a shaft 32 is provided between the two support frames 31, and a wheel 33 is rotatably provided on the surface of the shaft 32, wherein the outer surface of the wheel is provided with a wear-resistant rubber layer.

[0021] A first magnetic ring 34 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the shaft 32, and a second magnetic ring 35 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the wheel 33, which is coaxial with the first magnetic ring 34. The second magnetic ring 35 is sleeved outside the first magnetic ring 34, and the magnetic poles of the opposite sides of the first magnetic ring 34 and the second magnetic ring 35 are the same. The first magnetic ring 34 and the second magnetic ring 35 are toroidal permanent magnets.

[0022] This cornering assistance device uses roller assemblies 3 installed on the protective strip 2 of the go-kart body 1. This allows the roller assemblies 3 to rotate flexibly during cornering, reducing friction between the go-kart and the curve and assisting in cornering. Specifically, the protective strip 2 is fixedly installed around the perimeter of the go-kart body 1, and at each corner of the protective strip 2, a roller assembly 3 consisting of two support frames 31 is installed. The support frames 31 are fixed vertically, ensuring that the axle 32 is axially vertical. When the vehicle is cornering, the roller 33 on the guardrail 2 is the first to contact the inner wall of the curve. Under the pressure of the impact, the roller 33 will drive the second magnetic ring 35 to move towards the shaft 32, that is, towards the first magnetic ring 34. Through the mutual repulsion of the same magnetic poles between the first magnetic ring 34 and the second magnetic ring 35, the roller 33 and the shaft 32 will not contact each other, so there is no wear between them. The roller 33 will also rotate faster, making the vehicle turn more smoothly and extending the service life of the roller assembly 3.

[0023] Two retaining plates 36 are fixedly mounted on the circumferential side of the shaft 32, with the two retaining plates 36 located on both sides of the rotating wheel 33. By fixing the two retaining plates 36 on its circumferential side, during operation, these two retaining plates 36 are located on both sides of the rotating wheel 33, effectively restricting the radial movement of the rotating wheel 33, thereby maintaining the relative positional stability between the rotating wheel 33 and the shaft 32, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the mechanical system operation.

[0024] A plurality of balls 37 are rotatably disposed on the side of the baffle 36 near the rotating wheel 33. The baffle 36 achieves smooth and low-friction rotation of the rotating wheel 33 by means of the plurality of balls 37 rotatably disposed on the side of the baffle 36 near the rotating wheel 33.

[0025] Buffer elements 4 are provided on both sides of the shaft 32, and the buffer elements 4 are mounted on the support frame 31. The buffer elements 4 are fixed to the support frame 31 to absorb or mitigate impacts when the shaft 32 moves or is subjected to external forces, protecting the shaft 32 from damage and reducing noise caused by impacts. Specifically, when the roller 33 contacts the inner wall of the curve and is subjected to external force, the shaft 32 will experience an impact force. The buffer elements 4 will respond promptly, storing some kinetic energy through deformation or the elastic energy of the material itself, and then releasing it. This smooths the impact force during the movement of the shaft 32, ensuring stable system operation and improving equipment lifespan and operational reliability.

[0026] Specifically, the buffer component 4 includes a guide rod 41 fixedly installed on the bracket, a slider 42 fixedly installed on the shaft 32, a through hole 43 through which the guide rod 41 passes on the slider 42, and a spring 44 arranged along its axial direction on the guide rod 41. One end of the spring 44 is fixedly connected to the slider 42, and the other end of the spring 44 is fixedly connected to the support frame 31.

[0027] When the equipment is subjected to an external impact, the shaft 32 will drive the slider 42 to move axially along the guide rod 41. The slider 42 will then compress the spring 44. The spring 44 is fixedly connected to the slider 42 at one end and to the support frame 31 at the other end. This structure generates an elastic reaction force between the slider 42 and the support frame 31, effectively absorbing and buffering the impact energy and protecting the equipment from the impact of external forces. As the impact force decreases, the spring 44 gradually returns to its original shape, the slider 42 also rebounds along the guide rod 41, and finally the shaft 32 returns to its original position. This achieves the buffering effect, ensures the stable operation of the equipment, and improves its service life.

[0028] A lubricating brush is fixedly installed on the support frame 31. When the shaft 32 moves along the guide rod 41, the lubricating component 5 contacts the circumferential side of the rotating wheel 33.

[0029] A lubricating element 5 is fixedly installed on the support frame 31. When the shaft 32 moves under the guidance of the guide rod 41, the lubricating element 5 will contact the circumferential side of the rotating wheel 33, thereby effectively lubricating the rotating wheel 33. The lubricating element 5 is a lubricating brush bristle with lubricating grease on its surface, thereby reducing the wear on the surface of the rotating wheel 33 when it rotates along the inner wall of the curve.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
