Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mobility scooter technology, specifically to a side stand assembly and a mobility scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Personal mobility scooters such as scooters, electric bicycles, and electric motorcycles all require a side stand for assistance when parking to prevent the vehicle from tipping over. When riding a personal mobility scooter, the side stand is raised and placed on one side of the vehicle. In related technologies, the side stand needs to limit the rotation angle of the side stand using a limiting block. However, this limiting block protrudes outward, which restricts the vehicle's bending angle and affects the user's riding experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0004] Therefore, embodiments of this utility model propose a side support assembly that can limit the side support without affecting the bending angle of the mobility scooter, thereby improving the user experience.

[0005] An embodiment of this utility model also proposes a mobility scooter.

[0006] The side support assembly of this utility model includes: a support base; a side support having a rotating seat that cooperates with the support base, the rotating seat being rotatable relative to the support base between an open position and a folded position; and a limiting member disposed on one side of the support base in the thickness direction, the limiting member having a first connecting surface and a first stop surface, wherein in the open position, the first stop surface abuts against the rotating seat.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first connecting surface is used for connection with the vehicle frame.

[0008] In some embodiments, in the folded position, and in a projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support, the lowest point of the limiting member is not lower than the lowest point of the rotating seat.

[0009] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the side support assembly is connected to the frame by the first connecting surface of the limiting member, which improves the stability of the side support assembly when installed on the frame. When the side support assembly is in the open position, the first stop surface abuts against the rotating seat, thereby limiting the rotating seat so that the side support can be opened to a set angle. When the side support assembly is in the folded position, since the lowest point of the limiting member is not lower than the lowest point of the rotating seat in the projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support seat, the arrangement of the limiting member will not affect the bending angle of the scooter, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0010] In some embodiments, the limiting member is disposed along the thickness direction of the support seat on the side of the support seat near the vehicle frame.

[0011] In some embodiments, the thickness direction of the limiting member is orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support base.

[0012] In some embodiments, the limiting member includes a limiting body and a flange portion, the flange portion being disposed on the lower side of the limiting body, the flange portion extending gradually forward in a top-to-bottom direction, and the first stop surface being disposed on the flange portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the first connecting surface is disposed on the limiting body.

[0014] In some embodiments, the limiting body is provided with a positioning hole, which penetrates the limiting body along the thickness direction.

[0015] In some embodiments, at least one side of the limiting body along its thickness direction is a plane.

[0016] In some embodiments, the support base has a second stop surface, and in the folded position, the rotating base abuts against the second stop surface.

[0017] In some embodiments, the support base has a second connecting surface that can be connected to the vehicle frame.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first connecting surface extends along the vertical direction of the limiting member, and the second connecting surface extends along the front-back direction of the support base.

[0019] Another embodiment of the mobility scooter of the present invention includes: a side support assembly, wherein the side support assembly is the side support assembly described in any one of the embodiments of the present invention; and a frame, wherein the first connecting surface is connected to the frame.

[0020] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the mobility scooter has a first connecting surface of the limiting member connected to the frame, which improves the stability of the side support assembly installed on the frame. When the side support assembly is in the open position, the first stop surface abuts against the rotating seat, thereby limiting the rotating seat so that the side support can be opened to a set angle. When the side support assembly is in the folded position, since the lowest point of the limiting member is not lower than the lowest point of the rotating seat in the projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support seat, the arrangement of the limiting member will not affect the bending angle of the mobility scooter, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0021] In some embodiments, the frame includes a frame body, a first reinforcing beam, and a second reinforcing beam, the first reinforcing beam and the second reinforcing beam being arranged crosswise and both connected to the frame body, and the first connecting surface being connected to the first reinforcing beam and the second reinforcing beam.

[0022] In some embodiments, the frame further includes a flap disposed on the outer wall of the frame body, and the support is connected to the frame body through the flap. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] The following is a reference appendix. Figures 1 to 8 This invention describes a side support assembly and a mobility scooter according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the side support assembly of this utility model embodiment includes: a support base 1, a side support 2, and a limiting member 3. The side support 2 has a rotating seat 21 that cooperates with the support base 1. The rotating seat 21 is rotatable relative to the support base 1 between an open position and a folded position. The limiting member 3 is disposed on one side of the support base 1 in the thickness direction. The limiting member 3 has a first connecting surface 311 and a first stop surface 321. In the open position, the first stop surface 321 abuts against the rotating seat 21.

[0039] According to the side support assembly of the present invention, when the side support assembly is in the open position, the first stop surface 321 abuts against the rotating seat 21, thereby limiting the rotating seat 21 so that the side support 2 can be opened to a set angle; since the limiting member 3 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the support seat 1, when the mobility scooter is bent, the probability of the limiting member 3 touching the ground can be reduced, so the arrangement of the limiting member 3 will not affect the bending angle of the mobility scooter, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0040] Optionally, the first connecting surface 311 is used to connect with the frame 4. Since the first connecting surface 311 of the limiting member 3 is connected with the frame 4, the stability of the side support assembly installed on the frame 4 can be improved.

[0041] Optionally, in the folded position, and in the projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support 1, the lowest point of the limiting member 3 is not lower than the lowest point of the rotating seat 21. This allows the lowest point of the limiting member 3 to be appropriately raised to avoid adverse effects on the bending angle of the mobility scooter, thus improving the user experience.

[0042] Understandably, the side stand 2 includes a connected rotating base 21 and a side stand body 22. When the side stand assembly is in the open position, the lower end of the side stand body 22 supports the ground. When the side stand assembly is in the folded position, the extension direction of the side stand body 22 is generally parallel to the front-rear direction of the frame 4 to avoid the side stand 2 affecting the normal operation of the mobility scooter.

[0043] like Figure 1As shown, in the projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support 1, the lowest point of the limiting member 3 is not lower than the lowest point of the rotating seat 21. That is, when the side support assembly is in the folded position, the outer side of the limiting member 3 does not exceed the outer side of the rotating seat 21. Therefore, when the mobility scooter is bent, the probability of the limiting member 3 touching the ground can be reduced, which is beneficial to increasing the bending angle of the mobility scooter.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the lowest point of the limiting member 3 is higher than the lowest point of the rotating seat 21, and the height difference is H. Alternatively, the lowest point of the limiting member 3 may also be flush with the lowest point of the rotating seat 21.

[0045] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the limiting member 3 is disposed along the thickness direction of the support base 1 on the side of the support base 1 near the frame 4. It can be understood that the thickness direction of the support base 1 is the inward and outward direction of the support base 1. That is to say, the limiting member 3 is disposed on the inner side of the support base 1, thereby hiding the limiting member 3 to improve the overall appearance of the side support assembly. Furthermore, since the limiting member 3 is disposed along the thickness direction of the support base 1 on the side of the support base 1 near the frame 4, the probability of the limiting member 3 contacting the ground when the scooter is bending can be further reduced, which is beneficial to increasing the bending angle of the scooter.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the thickness direction of the limiting member 3 is orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support seat 1, which makes the limiting member 3 and the support seat 1 roughly L-shaped, which helps to improve the stability of the connection between the limiting member 3 and the frame 4 and the support seat 1.

[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, in the projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support base 1, the lowest point of the support base 1 is approximately the same as the lowest point of the rotating base 21. That is, the lowest point of the support base 1 can be slightly lower than the lowest point of the rotating base 21, slightly higher than the lowest point of the rotating base 21, or the lowest point of the support base 1 can be flush with the lowest point of the rotating base 21. Therefore, when the mobility scooter is bending, the probability of the support base 1 touching the ground can be reduced, which helps to increase the bending angle of the mobility scooter.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the limiting member 3 includes a limiting body 31 and a flange 32. The flange 32 is located on the lower side of the limiting body 31 and extends gradually forward at an angle from top to bottom. A first stop surface 321 is provided on the flange 32. It can be understood that when the side support assembly is in the open position, the first stop surface 321 on the flange 32 abuts against the rotating seat 21 to limit the angle of the rotating seat 21. Because the flange 32 extends gradually forward at an angle from top to bottom, the forward rotation angle of the side support 2 can be appropriately increased to improve the stability of the side support 2 supporting the ground.

[0049] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting surface 311 is disposed on the limiting body 31, thereby improving the stability of the limiting member 3 after it is connected to the frame 4. Exemplarily, the first connecting surface 311 is disposed on one side of the limiting body 31 along a direction orthogonal to the thickness of the limiting body 31. The first connecting surface 311 extends generally in the vertical direction to increase the contact area between the first connecting surface 311 and the frame 4, thereby improving the stability of the limiting member 3 after it is connected to the frame 4.

[0050] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting body 31 is provided with a positioning hole 312, which penetrates the limiting body 31 along the thickness direction of the limiting body 31. When the limiting component 3 is welded to the frame 4, the positioning hole 312 can position the tooling, that is, the tooling can be placed with the positioning hole 312 as a reference, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the limiting component 3 and the side support 2.

[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, at least one side of the limiting body 31 along its thickness direction is a plane. During the production process of the frame 4, the frame 4 and the limiting part 3 are positioned and welded by tooling. In order to ensure the limiting angle, position and tolerance accuracy of the limiting part 3 relative to the side support 2, the tooling can be positioned by the positioning hole 312 and the plane.

[0052] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support base 1 has a second stop surface 12. In the folded position, the rotating seat 21 abuts against the second stop surface 12. It can be understood that when the side support 2 rotates upward and retracts, the rotating seat 21 of the side support 2 abuts against the second stop surface 12, thereby constraining the folded position of the side support 2 and improving the positional accuracy of the side support 2 after it is retracted.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the support base 1 has a second connecting surface 11, which can be connected to the frame 4. Thus, both the first connecting surface 311 of the limiting member 3 and the second connecting surface 11 of the support base 1 can be connected to the frame 4, thereby further improving the stability of the side support assembly after it is installed with the frame 4.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting surface 311 extends along the vertical direction of the limiting member 3, and the second connecting surface 11 extends along the front-rear direction of the support base 1. It can be understood that the extension paths of the first connecting surface 311 and the second connecting surface 11 are generally L-shaped, which can further improve the stability of the side support assembly after it is installed with the frame 4.

[0055] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the rotating seat 21 has a generally U-shaped structure. Part of the support seat 1 is located within the U-shaped space of the rotating seat 21. The rotating seat 21 and the support seat 1 are rotatably connected by a pin. The support seat 1 has an arc surface 13 on one side orthogonal to its thickness direction. The axis of the arc surface 13 is collinear with the rotation axis of the rotating seat 21. At least a portion of the arc surface 13 is located within the U-shaped space of the rotating seat 21 to prevent interference between the rotating seat 21 and the support seat 1 when the rotating seat 21 rotates.

[0056] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, another embodiment of the vehicle of the present invention includes a side support assembly and a frame 4. The side support assembly is the side support assembly of the present invention, and the first connecting surface 311 is connected to the frame 4.

[0057] According to the embodiments of the present invention, the mobility scooter has a first connecting surface 311 of the limiting member 3 connected to the frame 4, which improves the stability of the side support assembly installed on the frame 4. When the side support assembly is in the open position, the first stop surface 321 abuts against the rotating seat 21, thereby limiting the rotating seat 21 so that the side support 2 can be opened to a set angle. When the side support assembly is in the folded position, since the lowest point of the limiting member 3 is not lower than the lowest point of the rotating seat 21 in the projection plane orthogonal to the thickness direction of the support seat 1, the arrangement of the limiting member 3 will not affect the bending angle of the mobility scooter, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.

[0058] For example, the mobility scooter is an electric bicycle or an electric motorcycle.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the frame 4 includes a frame body 41, a first reinforcing beam 42 and a second reinforcing beam 43. The first reinforcing beam 42 and the second reinforcing beam 43 are arranged in a cross pattern and are both connected to the frame body 41. The first connecting surface 311 is connected to the first reinforcing beam 42 and the second reinforcing beam 43.

[0060] Understandably, the cross arrangement of the first reinforcing beam 42 and the second reinforcing beam 43, compared to the scheme of "arranging a single reinforcing beam or arranging the first reinforcing beam 42 and the second reinforcing beam 43 at intervals along the front and rear directions", can improve the support and reinforcement effect of the first reinforcing beam 42 and the second reinforcing beam 43 on the frame body 41. Moreover, the structural design is reasonable and does not require the addition of extra reinforcing structures, which is conducive to improving the torsional stiffness and longitudinal stiffness of the frame 4.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figures 5 to 8As shown, the frame body 41 includes a first longitudinal beam 411 and a second longitudinal beam 412 on at least one side along its left-right direction, with the first longitudinal beam 411 positioned above the second longitudinal beam 412. The upper end of either the first reinforcing beam 42 or the second reinforcing beam 43 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 411, and the lower end of either the first reinforcing beam 42 or the second reinforcing beam 43 is connected to the second longitudinal beam 412.

[0062] The first reinforcing beam 42 extends downwards gradually from front to back, while the second reinforcing beam 43 extends upwards gradually from front to back. It can be understood that the intersection of the first reinforcing beam 42 and the second reinforcing beam 43 is roughly "X" shaped, which makes the stress distribution on the frame 4 as a whole more reasonable, further improving the overall rigidity and torsional resistance of the frame 4.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the frame 4 also includes a flap 44, which is disposed on the outer wall of the frame body 41. The support seat 1 is connected to the frame body 41 through the flap 44. This improves the reliability of the connection between the support seat 1 and the frame body 41. It can be understood that the flap 44 partially covers the outer wall of the first longitudinal beam 411, the upper end of the second reinforcing beam 43 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 411 through the flap 44, and the support seat 1 is connected to the first longitudinal beam 411 through the flap 44, thereby improving the overall stability of the frame 4 installation.
