Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of children's vehicle technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional children's stroller. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of children's products, traditional strollers generally adopt a translational walking structure, which provides a smooth but uninteresting ride. To improve the riding experience for infants and toddlers, existing technologies have introduced strollers with dynamic undulation functions, such as the "new type of stroller with dynamic and flat walking" disclosed in Chinese patent CN101492066A. This stroller uses the mechanical linkage of crankshafts, connecting rods, and the support body to transform the translational motion of the wheels into the undulating and swaying motion of the support body, realizing the switching between flat walking mode and dynamic mode, thus enhancing the riding pleasure for infants and toddlers.
[0003] However, this existing technology still has the following drawbacks. In dynamic mode, the eccentricity of the crank (i.e., the crank's rotation radius) directly affects the range of motion of the carrier. If the eccentricity is too large and the pitch angle of the carrier is too large, it can easily cause infants and young children to fall, and there is a risk of tipping over when turning or on bumpy roads. At the same time, a large design space needs to be made in small children's strollers, such as increasing the seat height to avoid interference between the crank and the ground; however, the seat height cannot be too high in order to adapt to the child's height. If the eccentricity is too small, the range of motion is insufficient, making it difficult to achieve the effect of simulating horseback riding, thus reducing the fun of dynamic mode. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a multifunctional children's stroller that, while retaining the fun of strolling, further ensures the safety and comfort of the stroller.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A multi-functional children's stroller includes a crankshaft, a frame, a crank, a support body, and a rocker arm;
[0007] The crankshaft is rotatably mounted on the chassis. One end of the crank is fixedly connected to the crankshaft, and the other end is pinned to the carrier. The bottom end of the rocker arm is pinned to the chassis, and the top end is pinned to the carrier.
[0008] A seat is mounted on the carrier; the crankshaft is located below the seat;
[0009] When the crank pin axis is at its highest point, the vertical distance H between the top and bottom pin axes of the rocker arm is greater than or equal to the crank's eccentricity.
[0010] The crank eccentricity ranges from 20mm to 60mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface ranges from 0° to 30°.
[0011] Furthermore, the horizontal distance D between the bottom pin axis of the rocker arm and the axis of the crankshaft ranges from 200mm to 400mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the vertical projection length H of the distance between the top pin axis and the bottom pin axis of the rocker arm ranges from 20mm to 340mm.
[0013] Furthermore, a buffer spring is installed between the load-bearing body and the chassis.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes drive wheels, drive shafts, and transmission mechanisms;
[0015] The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on the chassis of the car. The drive wheel is one of the rear wheels of the rocking horse, and the drive wheel is coaxially connected to the drive shaft. The drive shaft drives the crankshaft and crank to rotate through a transmission mechanism to reduce speed.
[0016] Furthermore, the driving wheel is a driving gear, the driven wheel is a driven gear, and the transmission component is an idler gear;
[0017] The driving gear is mounted on the drive shaft via a long key and can move axially along the drive shaft; the driven gear is mounted on the crankshaft, and the driving gear and the driven gear mesh with an idler gear.
[0018] An idler gear carrier is fitted onto the drive shaft, and the idler gear is rotatably mounted on the idler gear carrier.
[0019] The idler gear frame can rotate along the drive shaft or move along the axial direction of the drive shaft. When changing the walking mode of the rocking horse, the idler gear frame is turned or moved to engage or disengage the idler gear with the driven gear.
[0020] Furthermore, a sliding sleeve is coaxially mounted on the drive shaft; a guide block is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft, and a guide groove I is provided on the inner circumference of the sliding sleeve. The guide block is located in the guide groove I, so that the sliding sleeve can slide along the drive shaft.
[0021] The drive wheel is rotatably connected to the drive shaft.
[0022] The end of the drive wheel facing the sliding sleeve is provided with several guide bosses distributed along the circumference, and the end of the sliding sleeve facing the drive wheel is provided with several guide grooves II distributed along the circumference. The length direction of both the guide bosses and the guide grooves II is along the axial direction, and the guide bosses can be matched with the guide grooves II one by one.
[0023] The driven wheel is coaxially fixed on the crankshaft, and the driving wheel and the driven wheel are driven by a transmission component;
[0024] When changing the way the rocking horse moves, move the sliding sleeve to engage or disengage it from the drive wheel.
[0025] Furthermore, a clutch mechanism is provided on the drive wheel to control the synchronous rotation or disengagement of the drive wheel from the drive shaft.
[0026] Beneficial effects:
[0027] (1) The multifunctional children's stroller provided by this utility model ensures that the stroller's movement range is moderate and prevents excessive swaying by simultaneously limiting the eccentricity of the crank and the pitch angle of the carrier. It can produce obvious undulations, enhance the fun, and not be too violent, thus ensuring the safety and comfort of infants and young children.
[0028] (2) The crankshaft, chassis, rocker and carrier form a crank-rocker structure or double crank structure. After the eccentricity of the crank is relatively determined, the horizontal distance D between the axis of the bottom pin shaft of the rocker and the axis of the crankshaft has a great influence on the pitch angle. The present invention sets the range of the above horizontal distance D to 200mm~400mm to facilitate the design of the pitch angle.
[0029] (3) The vertical projection length H of the rocker arm of this utility model is in the range of 20mm~340mm. The geometric constraints formed between the crankshaft, the chassis, the rocker arm and the carrier are quantified, which facilitates the overall design of the trolley.
[0030] (4) A buffer spring is provided between the carrier and the chassis of the vehicle to buffer the descent of the carrier.
[0031] (5) The end of the drive wheel facing the slide sleeve II of this utility model is provided with a number of guide bosses distributed along the circumference, and the end of the slide sleeve II facing the drive wheel is provided with a number of guide grooves II distributed along the circumference, which can realize the smooth cooperation between the slide sleeve II and the drive wheel, and the number of guide bosses and grooves are in contact and slide, and the force is uniform.

Detailed Implementation
[0039] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0040] Example 1:
[0041] This embodiment provides a multifunctional children's stroller; see attached document. Figure 1 and 2 It includes crankshaft 9, chassis 3, crank 2, carrier 1 and rocker arm 4;
[0042] The crankshaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 3. When the trolley is pushed, the crankshaft 9 can rotate. One end of the crank 2 is fixedly connected to the crankshaft 9, and the other end is pinned to the carrier 1. The bottom end of the rocker arm 4 is pinned to the chassis 3, and the top end is pinned to the carrier 1.
[0043] A seat 5 is mounted on the carrier 1; a crankshaft 9 is located below the seat 5.
[0044] When the pin joint axis of crank 2 is at its highest, the vertical distance H between the top pin joint axis and the bottom pin joint axis of rocker 4 is greater than or equal to the eccentricity of crank 2.
[0045] The eccentricity of crank 2 ranges from 20mm to 60mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of seat 5 ranges from 0° to 30°.
[0046] This embodiment provides a multifunctional children's stroller with an eccentricity range of 20mm to 60mm for the crank 2 and a maximum elevation angle range of 0° to 30°. This ensures that the stroller's range of motion is moderate and prevents excessive swaying. It can produce a noticeable undulating sensation to enhance the fun without being too violent, thus ensuring the safety and comfort of infants and young children.
[0047] It should be noted that the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat 5 is the angle between the extreme position of the seat tilting forward and the extreme position of the seat tilting backward when the stroller is rocking.
[0048] Let the horizontal plane where the top pin joint axis of the rocker 4 is located be horizontal plane I, and the horizontal plane where the bottom pin joint axis of the rocker is located be horizontal plane II. The distance between horizontal plane I and horizontal plane II is the aforementioned vertical distance H.
[0049] The eccentricity is the distance between the pin connection axis of crank 2 and bearing 1 and the axis of crankshaft 9;
[0050] Appendix Figure 3 The horizontal line on the carrier 1 is not the simplified entire seat 5, but a portion of the seat 501.

By determining D and H within the above ranges, the geometric constraints formed between the crankshaft 9, the chassis 3, the rocker arm 4, and the carrier 1 are quantified.
[0051] The eccentricity of crank 2 is 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 55mm or 60mm;

[0055] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 30mm, the horizontal distance D is 400mm, the projected length H is 310mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 8.7°.
[0056] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 30mm, the horizontal distance D is 386mm, the projected length H is 320mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 8.8°.
[0057] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 30mm, the horizontal distance D is 294mm, the projected length H is 204mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 11.6°.
[0058] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 30mm, the horizontal distance D is 200mm, the projected length H is 120mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 17°.
[0059] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 50mm, the horizontal distance D is 400mm, the projected length H is 330mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 14.5°.
[0060] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 50mm, the horizontal distance D is 230mm, the projected length H is 120mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 25°.
[0061] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 50mm, the horizontal distance D is 200mm, the projected length H is 198mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 30°.
[0062] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 60mm, the horizontal distance D is 400mm, the projected length H is 340mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 17.5°.
[0063] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 60mm, the horizontal distance D is 350mm, the projected length H is 140mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 20°.
[0064] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 60mm, the horizontal distance D is 280mm, the projected length H is 132mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 25°.
[0065] In another specific embodiment, the crank 2 eccentricity is 60mm, the horizontal distance D is 230mm, the projected length H is 132mm, and the maximum pitch angle θ of the seat surface is 30°.
[0066] Pin holes are provided on both sides of the front of the chassis 3. The lower end of the rocker arm 4 is connected to the pin hole through a pin shaft to achieve pin connection between the lower end of the rocker arm 4 and the chassis 3. The bearing body 1 is provided with an upper lug, and the upper end of the rocker arm 4 is pin connected to the upper lug.
[0067] Crank 2 can be a rod-shaped crank, a fan-shaped crank, or a circular crank;
[0068] When the pin shaft of crank 2 is at its highest point, rocker arm 4 can be set at an angle or vertically; rocker arm 4 can be a straight rod, a curved rod, or an irregularly shaped rod.
[0069] A buffer spring 10 is installed between the carrier 1 and the chassis 3 to buffer the descent of the carrier 1.
[0070] The seats can be equipped with guardrails and backrests to ensure children's safety.
[0071] Working principle:
[0072] The stroller seat height should not be too high and should be adapted to the child's height. Therefore, when the pin shaft of crank 2 is at its highest point, the distance between the highest point of the seat 5 and the ground should be between 370mm and 420mm. Since the crank shaft is located under the seat, the crank size needs to be designed based on this data to ensure that the crank does not interfere with the ground or other components when rotating.
[0073] Under the above constraints, the length of crank 2 mainly determines the vertical undulation and swaying amplitude (i.e., pitch angle) of the carrier 1, and the horizontal distance D between the bottom pin of rocker arm 4 and crank shaft 9 mainly controls the swaying amplitude. In this utility model, whether the eccentricity is 60mm and the horizontal distance D is 230mm, or the eccentricity is 50mm and the horizontal distance D is 200mm, or the distance D is 20mm and the distance is 400mm, the stroller can achieve undulation and swaying within a safe and reasonable range, increasing the fun for children to ride.
[0074] Example 2:
[0075] This embodiment is based on embodiment 1. A multifunctional children's stroller also includes a push handle, a drive wheel 6, a drive shaft 8, and a transmission mechanism 7.
[0076] The drive shaft 8 is rotatably mounted on the chassis 3. The drive wheel 6 is one of the rear wheels of the trolley, and the drive wheel 6 is coaxially connected to the drive shaft 8. The drive shaft 8 drives the crankshaft 9 and crank 2 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 7. The transmission mechanism 7 includes a driving wheel 71, a driven wheel 72, and a transmission component 73.
[0077] The push handle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the chassis 3.

[0082] An idler gear carrier 74 is fitted onto the drive shaft 8, and an idler gear is rotatably mounted on the idler gear carrier 74; specifically, the idler gear is pin-connected to the idler gear carrier 74.
[0083] The idler gear frame 74 can rotate along the drive shaft 8 and / or move along the axial direction of the drive shaft 8. When changing the walking mode of the trolley, the idler gear frame 74 is turned or moved to make the idler gear engage or disengage with the driven gear 72.
[0084] Furthermore, several driven gears 72 of different specifications can be installed on the crankshaft 9. By moving and rotating the idler gear carrier 74, the driving gear is moved synchronously, so that the idler gear meshes with the driven gears 72 of different specifications, thereby changing the transmission ratio.

The length direction of both the guide bosses 13 and the guide grooves II 112 is along the axial direction, and the guide bosses 13 can be matched with the guide grooves II 112 one by one.
[0088] Driven wheel 72 is coaxially fixed on crankshaft 9, and driving wheel 71 and driven wheel 72 are driven by transmission component 73;
[0089] By disengaging or engaging the drive wheel 71 with the sliding sleeve 11, the synchronous rotation of the drive wheel 71 and the drive shaft 8 can be controlled, thereby switching between rocking mode and flat running mode. Furthermore, the sliding sleeve 11 can be moved by a lever.
[0090] Furthermore, several guide grooves II112 are provided on the inner circumference of the sleeve 11, and guide bosses 13 are provided on the outer circumference of the drive wheel 71 facing the sleeve 11.
[0091] Furthermore, the driving pulley 71 is a driving pulley, the driven pulley 72 is a driven pulley, the transmission mechanism 7 is a belt, and the outer diameter of the driving pulley is smaller than the outer diameter of the driven pulley;
