Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a folding structure for a scooter. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous advancement of urbanization, short-distance travel tools such as scooters have gradually become an important means of transportation in people's daily lives, especially for short-distance travel within cities, where scooters are widely favored for their flexibility and convenience. However, existing scooters still have some technical shortcomings in their folding structure design, which limits their user experience and convenience to some extent.

[0003] First, the folding structure of traditional scooters is often quite complex, requiring users to perform multiple steps, making the process cumbersome. This not only wastes time but may also be inconvenient for first-time users due to the difficulty of folding, affecting the efficiency of using the scooter. Furthermore, existing scooters often occupy a significant amount of storage space when folded, making them inconvenient to carry or store when not in use, especially on public transportation or in confined spaces, where storage becomes a major inconvenience for users.

[0004] Secondly, many existing scooter folding structures rely on simple mechanical connections or hinges, which can lead to instability during folding and unfolding, causing loosening or jamming, thus reducing the scooter's lifespan and safety. Especially under impact or improper operation, the folding components may be damaged, affecting the scooter's normal use.

[0005] Furthermore, existing folding systems are mostly simple connection designs that fail to fully consider the precise fit between folding components. This can lead to unevenness or inaccurate alignment when rotating the folding parts. This defect not only affects the folding and unfolding speed of the scooter but also causes wear and tear on components during prolonged use, thus impacting the overall user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a folding structure for a scooter to solve technical problems such as the convenience of the folding process, structural stability, precise fit, and improved user experience.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0008] A folding structure for a scooter includes a board body, a connecting part located at the front of the board body, a wheel body located at the rear of the board body, a first folding part located on the board body, and a second folding part located on the connecting part. The second folding part includes a folding seat located on the board body and a folding head located on the folding seat. The folding seat has a curved hole. A rotating shaft and a limiting shaft pass through one side of the folding head. The shaft of the rotating shaft passes through the curved hole, and the limiting shaft passes through the folding seat, forming a rotational engagement between the folding seat and the folding head. The curved hole has notches at the front end, rear end, and middle end, which can be engaged by the limiting shaft. The bottom of the limiting shaft is provided with a return spring, and the movement position is achieved by pressing the limiting shaft to engage with the notches.

[0009] Preferably, the folding hinge is located at the bottom of the plate body, and a portion of the folding hinge is connected to one side of the plate body section by a locking bolt, while the other portion is connected to the other side of the plate body section by a locking bolt.

[0010] Preferably, there is one or more locking bolts, and there is one or more locking screw holes on the plate body that mate with the locking bolts.

[0011] Preferably, there is one or more first connecting holes and second connecting holes, which are evenly distributed in the cross-section and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0012] Preferably, both the first and second connecting holes are cylindrical holes.

[0013] Preferably, the cross-section of the plate is arranged vertically or inclined.

[0014] Preferably, the control dial is a rod that is unilaterally connected to the pin, and the control dial is fixedly connected to the pin.

[0015] Preferably, the side of the plate is provided with a grooved track for controlling the movement of the dial head.

[0016] Preferably, the first folding portion includes a folding hinge and a locking bolt that passes through the folding hinge and is screwed into the plate portion. The plate portion is disconnected at the position corresponding to the folding hinge and has a cross-section.

[0017] Preferably, the plate body is provided with a first connecting hole and a second connecting hole at the corresponding cross section. A pin is provided in the first connecting hole, and a control dial is provided on one side of the plate body to control the pin to move from the first connecting hole to the second connecting hole.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] Traditional scooters can be cumbersome to fold and take up a lot of space when folded. This design, through the combination of a first and second folding section, allows for a more convenient folding operation and occupies less space when folded, making it easier to store and carry. The folding section uses a combination of hinges and locking bolts to ensure stability during folding and unfolding, and can withstand certain external forces during use, preventing the folding section from loosening or being damaged, thus increasing the overall durability and safety of the scooter.

[0020] The second folding section is designed with a rotating connection between the folding seat and the folding head. Through the cooperation of the rotating shaft and the limiting shaft, the smooth rotation and precise positioning of the folding head can be achieved, avoiding the problems of uneven or inaccurate rotation that may exist in traditional scooter folding structures. This folding structure, through its ingenious design, makes it easier and more efficient for users to operate the scooter's folding function during use, improving the convenience and comfort of use. Especially when it is necessary to frequently fold and carry the scooter in daily life, this design can significantly improve the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0032] See Figure 1-8As shown, a folding structure for a scooter includes a board body 1, a connecting part 2 disposed at the front of the board body 1, a wheel body 3 disposed at the rear of the board body 1, a first folding part 4 disposed on the board body 1, and a second folding part 5 disposed on the connecting part 2. The first folding part 4 includes a folding hinge 41 and a locking bolt 42 that passes through the folding hinge 41 and is screwed into the board body 1. The board body 1 is disconnected at the position corresponding to the folding hinge 41 and forms a cross-section 11. The board body 1 has a first connecting hole 12 and a second connecting hole 13 at the cross-section 11. A pin 14 is disposed in the first connecting hole 12. A control dial 15 is disposed on one side of the board body 1 to control the movement of the pin 14 from the first connecting hole 12 to the second connecting hole 13. The second folding part 5 includes... The folding seat 51 is located on the plate body 1, and the folding head 52 is provided on the folding seat 51. The folding seat 51 has a curved hole 53. A rotating shaft 54 ​​and a limiting shaft 55 pass through one side of the folding head 52. The shaft part of the rotating shaft 54 ​​passes through the curved hole 53, and the limiting shaft 55 passes through the folding seat 51, so that the folding seat 51 and the folding head 52 form a rotational engagement. The curved hole 53 has a notch 531 at the beginning, end and middle ends, which can be locked by the limiting shaft. The folding head 52 can adjust its angle according to the notch 531 on the folding seat 51. The bottom of the limiting shaft 55 is provided with a return spring. The movement position is achieved by pressing the limiting shaft 55 to engage with the notch. When it moves to the designated position, the limiting shaft 55 is reset by the push of the return spring at the rear, so as to achieve the locking function.

[0033] By designing a folding hinge 41 and a locking bolt 42 on the board body 1, the scooter can be securely locked when folded and unfolded, preventing loosening or unlocking during use, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the scooter and avoiding potential safety hazards.

[0034] This design, through the use of a control dial 15 and a latch 14, allows users to more easily move the latch 14 between different connection holes, enabling quick and easy folding and unfolding. This design significantly simplifies the folding operation of the scooter, enhancing the user experience, especially for users who frequently need to fold and carry the scooter, making operation more convenient and efficient.

[0035] The cross-section 11 and pin 14 in the design make the first folding section 4 of the scooter more compact, reducing its space occupation after folding and thus improving portability. For urban users, this structure allows the scooter to take up less storage space when folded, making it easier to carry and store.

[0036] The precise rotational engagement between the folding base 51 and the folding head 52 enables a smoother and more stable folding operation. Specifically, the cooperation between the rotating shaft 54 ​​and the limiting shaft 55 ensures that the folding head 52 can rotate stably on the folding base 51, avoiding the jamming or unevenness problems common in traditional folding structures. The curved hole 53 design allows the folding head 52 to maintain a certain range of motion during rotation, thus avoiding structural interference or constraints during folding.

[0037] The folding hinge 41 is located at the bottom of the plate body 1, and a part of the folding hinge 41 is connected to one side of the cross section 11 of the plate body 1 by a locking bolt 42, and the other part is connected to the other side of the cross section 11 of the plate body 1 by a locking bolt 42; there is one or more locking bolts 42, and there is one or more locking screw holes on the plate body 1 that cooperate with the locking bolts 42.

[0038] By connecting a portion of the folding hinge 41 to both sides of the plate body 1 using locking bolts 42, the number of locking bolts 42 and the design of the locking bolt holes ensure that the folding hinge 41 is firmly fixed to the plate body 1. This double-sided connection method effectively increases the stability of the connecting part 2, preventing the first folding part 4 from loosening due to vibration or external force during use, thus improving the overall safety and durability.

[0039] The multiple settings of the locking bolts 42 and the matching design of the locking screw holes help to evenly distribute the force, making the folding hinge 41 less prone to wear or deformation during long-term use. This design improves the durability of the scooter's folding structure and extends its service life, making it especially suitable for scenarios involving frequent folding and unfolding over a long period.

[0040] The design, utilizing multiple locking bolts 42 and multiple locking screw holes, effectively enhances the load-bearing capacity of the first folding section 4 of the scooter, ensuring a more even distribution of force during riding and folding. This design allows the scooter to withstand greater loads without affecting the normal operation of the folding mechanism, thus improving the scooter's reliability and safety.

[0041] There is one or more of the first connecting hole 12 and the second connecting hole 13, which are evenly distributed at the cross section 11 and are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence; the first connecting hole 12 and the second connecting hole 13 are both cylindrical holes.

[0042] Because the first connecting hole 12 and the second connecting hole 13 are evenly distributed and correspond one-to-one at section 11, the four first folding parts can be more precisely aligned and positioned during folding and unfolding. This precise alignment reduces gaps between structures, prevents asymmetry or instability, and improves the stability and accuracy of the entire folding system.

[0043] The evenly distributed arrangement of multiple connection holes ensures more uniform force distribution on the folding mechanism during use, preventing any one part from bearing excessive pressure or load, thus reducing the risk of structural damage. This helps improve the scooter's lifespan and durability, especially under frequent folding and unfolding, effectively preventing localized wear and deformation.

[0044] The cylindrical hole design makes it easy to align and quickly insert connectors (such as pin 14 and locking bolt 42), simplifying operation and ensuring a more secure and reliable connection. The circular holes offer greater tolerance for connector errors, preventing insecure connections or incomplete alignment due to minor mistakes, thus improving the overall reliability of the folding structure and the user experience.

[0045] The cross section 11 of the plate body 1 is arranged vertically or inclined; the control dial 15 is a rod connected to the pin 14 on one side, and the control dial 15 is fixedly connected to the pin 14; the side of the plate body 1 is provided with a grooved track for the control dial 15 to move.

[0046] The cross-section 11 of the panel 1 is set vertically or inclined, which helps to optimize the spatial distribution of the internal structure. This design allows the shape and angle of the panel to be adjusted according to actual needs, thereby improving the compactness and stability of the entire structure, while providing more flexibility for the layout and installation of other components.

[0047] The control dial 15 and the pin 14 are fixedly connected, ensuring the stability of the control dial 15 and the consistency of its operation. The grooved track design allows the control dial 15 to move smoothly and accurately within the track, reducing the risk of misoperation and making the folding and unfolding process smoother and more precise, thus improving the user experience.

[0048] Fixing the control dial 15 to the pin 14 and guiding it via a grooved track reduces wear or loosening of components caused by frequent operation. This fixed connection and track guidance method improves the durability and stability of the scooter's folding mechanism, enabling it to better withstand long-term use and external forces, ensuring the long-term reliability of the structure.

[0049] The above embodiments of this utility model are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. The implementation of this utility model is not limited thereto. All other modifications, substitutions or alterations made to the above structure of this utility model based on the above content of this utility model and in accordance with the common technical knowledge and conventional means in the field, without departing from the basic technical idea of ​​this utility model, shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
