[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 two taillights 20. The rear end of the footboard 10 is provided with an installation space 11 and two mounting positions. The two mounting positions are located on opposite sides of the installation space 11 and are not higher than the upper surface of the footboard 10. The rear wheel 31 is mounted in the installation space 11. The two taillights 20 are located in the two mounting positions and are spaced apart from the rear wheel 31.
[0032] Specifically, the electric scooter also includes a handlebar assembly 40, a front wheel 32, and a braking device 60, etc. The specific structure can be referred to in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.
[0033] The two taillights 20 can be kept on while driving to serve as driving indicator lights, turn signals, or brake lights.
[0034] This utility model's technical solution involves setting two mounting positions at the rear end of the pedal 10, with the two mounting positions located on opposite sides of the rear wheel 31, and installing a taillight 20 at each mounting position. This arrangement of taillights 20 on both sides of the rear wheel 31 allows for a larger illumination range, improving the lighting effect. Furthermore, this arrangement allows the two taillights 20 to be used as turn signals or brake lights, offering strong scalability and enhancing the warning effect of the taillights 20.
[0035] In some embodiments, the rear wheel 31 protrudes slightly from the rear end face of the pedal 10. The taillight 20 includes a fixing body 21 and a light-emitting part 22 located at one end of the fixing body 21. The fixing body 21 is mounted in a mounting position, and the light-emitting part 22 is at least partially located between the rear end face of the pedal 10 and the rear side of the rear wheel 31. That is, the light-emitting part 22 protrudes at least partially from the rear end face of the pedal 10, but does not extend beyond the rear side of the rear wheel 31. This arrangement allows the light-emitting part 22 to be positioned rearward, reducing the obstruction of the light-emitting part 22 by the rear wheel 31 and also reducing the risk of the light-emitting part 22 being damaged by impact.
[0036] In some embodiments, the side of any taillight 20 away from the other taillight 20 is spaced apart from the outer side (i.e., left and right sides) of the pedal 10. That is, when an object comes into contact with the outer side of the pedal 10, the outside is still a certain distance away from the side of the taillight 20, which can reduce the risk of the side of the taillight 20 being hit and improve the reliability of the taillight 20.
[0037] In some embodiments, the back of the pedal 10 is provided with two first fixing plates 12, which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the width direction of the pedal 10 and extend along the length direction of the pedal 10. The first fixing plates 12 have clearance notches 121 at the mounting positions, through which the taillight 20 is exposed. Specifically, the first fixing plates 12 are approximately perpendicular to the back of the pedal 10, thus strengthening the structural strength of the pedal 10 and reducing the risk of deformation. The clearance notches 121 at the mounting positions of the first fixing plates 12 effectively increase the space of the mounting position, which is beneficial for increasing the size of the taillight 20 and also reduces the interference of the first fixing plates 12 with the taillight 20, facilitating the installation of the taillight 20.
[0038] In some embodiments, the back of the pedal 10 is provided with two second fixing plates 13, which are spaced apart in the width direction of the pedal 10 and located between two first fixing plates 12. The second fixing plates 13 extend along the length direction of the pedal 10 and are mounted between the first fixing plates 12 and the second fixing plates 13. The rear wheel 31 is mounted on the second fixing plate 13. Specifically, the second fixing plates 13 are approximately perpendicular to the back of the pedal 10 and spaced apart from the first fixing plates 12, which can further strengthen the structural strength of the pedal 10 and reduce the risk of deformation of the pedal 10. By using the second fixing plates 13 to mount the rear wheel 31, the axis of the rear wheel 31 can be lower than the upper surface of the pedal 10, avoiding the rear wheel 31 from being too large.
[0039] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a battery module 50 disposed between two second fixing plates 13. The distance between the two second fixing plates 13 is greater than the distance between the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13. This utilizes the space between the two second fixing plates 13 to mount the battery module 50, which helps reduce the overall thickness of the footboard 10 and facilitates user use. Of course, in other embodiments, the height of the second fixing plate 13 can be less than the height of the first fixing plate 12, and the battery module 50 can be disposed on the side of the second fixing plate 13 away from the back of the footboard 10.
[0040] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a foot support assembly 70, which includes a mounting base 71 and a support rod 72. The mounting base 71 is mounted on the footboard 10 and located inside one of the first fixing plates 12. The support rod 72 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 71 and has a ground-supporting state extending from the underside of the first fixing plate 12 and a retracted state retracted inside the first fixing plate 12. In the retracted state, one end of the support rod 72 away from the mounting base 71 extends out from the clearance notch 121.
[0041] Specifically, the end of the support rod 72 furthest from the mounting base 71 is bent. In the retracted state, the main body of the support rod 72 is located between the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13, with only the end of the support rod 72 furthest from the mounting base 71 extending from the clearance notch 121 and positioned in front of the taillight 20, allowing the user to extend the foot support mechanism to the ground-supporting state. This utilizes the space between the first fixing plate 12 and the second fixing plate 13 to accommodate the foot support mechanism, improving the space utilization under the pedal 10. Simultaneously, the first fixing plate 12 effectively protects the foot support mechanism in the retracted state, reducing the risk of damage from collisions during driving.
[0042] In some embodiments, the electric scooter further includes a front wheel 32, a handlebar assembly 40, and a circuit assembly. The handlebar assembly 40 is mounted on the front end of the footboard 10, the front wheel 32 is mounted on the lower end of the handlebar assembly 40, and the circuit assembly is electrically connected to the taillight 20. Specifically, the handlebar assembly 40 includes a vertical bar 41, a horizontal handlebar 42 located at the upper end of the vertical bar 41, and a front fork 43 located at the lower end of the vertical bar 41. The front wheel 32 is mounted on the front fork 43. The circuit assembly includes a circuit board and electronic components such as a controller mounted on the circuit board. The taillight 20 and the battery module 50 are both electrically connected to the circuit board so that the operating state of the taillight 20 can be controlled by the controller. The specific composition of the circuit assembly can refer to the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
[0043] In some embodiments, the electric scooter also includes a lighting controller, which is mounted on the handlebar 42 of the handlebar assembly 40 and electrically connected to the circuit assembly. The lighting controller is used to control the taillight 20 on the corresponding side to light up when turning. Specifically, the lighting controller has a switch (which can be a push switch or a push switch). When turning, the user can control the corresponding taillight 20 to light up to alert people behind.
[0044] In some embodiments, the electric scooter also includes a braking device 60, and circuit components are configured to activate the power supply circuits for the two taillights 20 when the braking device 60 is engaged. Optionally, the braking device 60 is mounted on the handlebars 42, and when the user brakes, the controller activates the power supply circuits for the two taillights 20 to illuminate them, thus alerting people behind.
[0045] In some embodiments, the electric scooter also includes a mudguard 80, which is mounted on the footboard 10 and covers the mounting space 11 to enclose the rear wheel 31. Specifically, the mudguard 80 can shield the top of the rear wheel 31 and the side portion of the rear wheel 31 located above the footboard 10, effectively preventing water or mud from splashing from the side of the rear wheel 31 onto the footboard 10 and the user's feet, thus improving mud-proofing performance.
[0046] In some embodiments, the mudguard 80 has a shielding portion 81 at its rear side, which is spaced at the rear side of the rear wheel 31 and extends downward. It is understood that during operation, mud and water splashed up by the rear wheel 31 typically move tangentially to the rear wheel 31. By providing the extension portion, 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 reducing the height of mud and water splashes during operation, thus minimizing the impact on pedestrians or electric scooters behind. Optionally, the width of the extension portion is greater than the width of the rear wheel 31, which can effectively limit the amplitude of mud and water splashing to the side, further improving the mud-blocking effect.
[0047] 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.
