Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scooter technology, and in particular to an electric scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Electric scooters are transportation and recreational tools based on traditional human-powered scooters, supplemented by electric components. Their lightweight, convenient, and portable nature has made them popular with consumers. Typically, a mudguard is installed above the rear wheel to block water or mud kicked up during riding, preventing it from splashing onto the scooter or the rider. However, most current mudguards use a curved plate structure, which, in actual use, still results in some water or mud splashing from the side of the rear wheel onto the pedals and the user's feet, indicating inadequate mud-blocking effectiveness.

[0030] This utility model proposes an electric scooter.

[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the electric scooter includes a footboard 10, a rear wheel 31, and a mudguard 40. The rear end of the footboard 10 is provided with a mounting space 11 and a mounting part 12. The mounting space 11 extends through the upper surface of the footboard 10 and surrounds the edge of the mounting space 11. The rear wheel 31 is mounted in the mounting space 11 and protrudes from the upper surface of the footboard 10. The mudguard 40 has a mounting opening 41 and a mounting flange 42 surrounding the outside of the mounting opening 41. The mounting flange 42 is mounted above the mounting part 12 so that the mudguard 40 covers the rear wheel 31.

[0032] Specifically, the electric scooter also includes a handlebar assembly 20, a front wheel 32, and a braking device, etc. The specific structure can be referred to in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The shape of the mounting flange 42 is consistent with the shape of the mounting part 12. After installation, the mounting opening 41 corresponds to the mounting space 11, so that the mudguard 40 covers the mounting space 11 and can cover the top of the rear wheel 31 and the side part of the rear wheel 31 located above the pedal 10, which can effectively prevent water or mud from splashing onto the pedal 10 and the user's feet.

[0034] This utility model's technical solution provides an installation space 11 at the rear end of the pedal 10 and an installation portion 12 surrounding the installation opening 41. An installation flange 42 is provided on the outside of the installation opening 41 of the mudguard 40, and the installation flange 42 is correspondingly installed above the installation portion 12, so that the mudguard 40 covers the rear wheel 31. This effectively prevents water or mud from splashing from the side of the rear wheel 31 onto the pedal 10 and the user's feet, thus improving the mud-proof effect. Furthermore, by installing the mudguard 40 above the installation portion 12, the installation and removal of the mudguard 40 are relatively convenient.

[0035] In some embodiments, a virtual plane parallel to the upper surface of the pedal 10 is defined, and the orthographic projection of the rear wheel 31 on the virtual plane lies within the orthographic projection of the mudguard 40 on the virtual plane. That is, the mudguard 40 can completely cover the rear wheel 31, which can further block the mud and water splashed up by the rear wheel 31 during driving and further improve the mud-blocking effect.

[0036] In some embodiments, the mounting space 11 extends through the rear end face of the pedal 10, and the rear wheel 31 protrudes beyond the rear end face of the pedal 10. This allows the rear wheel 31 to be positioned as far back as possible, providing a larger space for the user to stand on the pedal 10 without increasing its length.

[0037] In some embodiments, the mudguard 40 has an extension 43 on its rear side, which is spaced at the rear side of the rear wheel 31 and extends downward. It is understood that mud and water splashed up by the rear wheel 31 during operation typically move along the tangential direction of the rear wheel 31. By providing the extension 43, the mud and water splashed upward by the rear wheel 31 during operation can be effectively blocked, preventing mud and water from splashing onto the footboard 10 and minimizing the height of mud and water splashes during operation, thus reducing the impact on pedestrians or electric scooters behind.

[0038] In some embodiments, the width of the extension 43 is greater than the width of the rear wheel 31, which can effectively limit the amount of mud and water splashing to the side and further improve the mud-blocking effect.

[0039] In some embodiments, the mudguard 40 has a plurality of through holes 44 on its side, and the orthographic projection of the rear wheel 31 on the virtual plane is spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the through hole 44 on the virtual plane. Specifically, the mudguard 40 has through holes 44 on both sides distributed along the width direction of the pedal 10. This arrangement allows some airflow to flow into the mudguard 40 during driving, which helps to blow off mud adhering to the mudguard 40. By spaced apart from the orthographic projection of the rear wheel 31 on the virtual plane and the orthographic projection of the through hole 44 on the virtual plane, mud and water can be prevented from splashing from the through hole 44 onto the pedal 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, the mounting portion 12 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 121, which are distributed circumferentially along the mounting space 11. The mounting flange 42 is provided with a through hole 421 corresponding to each screw hole 121. The electric scooter also includes a fixing screw 70, which passes through the through hole 421 and is screwed into the screw hole 121 to fix the mounting flange 42 to the mounting portion 12. This arrangement ensures reliable connection between the mounting flange 42 and the mounting portion 12 and reduces the structural complexity of the mounting flange 42 and the mounting portion 12, thus reducing production costs. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple clips can also be provided on the mounting flange 42 for engaging with it.

[0041] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a brake caliper 51 and a brake disc 52. The brake disc 52 is coaxially arranged with the rear wheel 31 and located in the mounting space 11. The brake caliper 51 is mounted on the mounting part 12. The side of the mudguard 40 is provided with a clearance hole 45 corresponding to the position of the brake caliper 51. That is, the brake caliper 51 is located at the clearance hole 45, which can reduce the gap between the mudguard 40 and the rear wheel 31 and avoid the mudguard 40 becoming too large when the brake caliper 51 is installed entirely inside the mudguard 40.

[0042] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes an anti-slip mat 60, which covers the upper surface of the footboard 10 and has clearance notches 61 corresponding to the positions of the mounting portion 12 and the mounting space 11. The shape of the clearance notches 61 is adapted to the outer contour shape of the mounting flange 42. The upper surface of the anti-slip mat 60 may be higher than, flush with, or lower than the upper surface of the mounting flange 42, thus preventing the mounting flange 42 from protruding too much and providing better protection for the mounting flange 42. Optionally, the upper surface of the anti-slip mat 60 is provided with a plurality of anti-slip protrusions 62, the upper surface of which is higher than the upper surface of the mounting flange 42.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a handlebar assembly 20 and a front wheel 32. The handlebar assembly 20 is mounted on the front end of the footboard 10, and the front wheel 32 is mounted on the handlebar assembly 20. The handlebar assembly 20 has a folded state where it is folded horizontally above the footboard 10. The top of the mudguard 40 is provided with a hook portion 46, and in the folded state, the handlebar assembly 20 is fastened to the hook portion 46. Specifically, the handlebar assembly 20 includes a first upright 21, a second upright 22, a handlebar 23, a front fork 24, and a folding mechanism 25. The folding mechanism 25 is located between the first upright 21 and the second upright 22. The handlebar 23 is located at the upper end of the first upright 21, and the front fork 24 is located at the lower end of the second upright 22. The front wheel 32 is mounted on the front fork 24. The second upright 22 or the handlebar 23 is provided with a connecting portion, and in the folded state, the connecting portion is fastened to the hook portion 46 to keep the handlebar assembly 20 in the folded state.

[0044] Optionally, the folding mechanism 25 includes a first connecting seat, a second connecting seat, and a locking member. The first connecting seat is connected to the lower end of the first upright 21, and the second connecting seat is connected to the upper end of the second upright 22. The rear side of the second connecting seat is hinged to the rear side of the first connecting seat. The locking member is movably mounted on the front side of the first connecting seat. The front side of the second connecting seat has a fastening part. When the locking member is engaged with the fastening part, it can lock the first upright 21 and the second upright 22. After the locking member disengages from the fastening part, the second upright 22 can be rotated backward to a folded state.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
