Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobility scooter technology, and in particular to a steering deceleration mechanism and a mobility scooter. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, personal mobility devices have been widely used due to their convenience and environmental friendliness. However, existing personal mobility vehicles still pose certain safety hazards when turning, especially sharp turns at high speeds, which can easily lead to rollovers or loss of control, particularly for some personal mobility vehicles whose turning speeds are difficult to control.

[0003] Currently, some mobility scooters use mechanical steering mechanisms, directly controlling the front wheel steering via the handlebars. However, they lack active deceleration capabilities, requiring users to manually slow down when turning. Therefore, the challenge lies in enabling mobility scooters to reduce speed during turns to prevent loss of control or tipping over.

[0004] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art to this application. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on this, this application provides a steering deceleration mechanism and a mobility scooter to solve one of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is a steering deceleration mechanism and a mobility scooter, including: a front bracket; a steering rod rotatably mounted on the front bracket; a steering structure disposed at the bottom of the steering rod, the steering structure including a steering part and a trigger part capable of controlling the steering of the tires at both ends of the front bracket; and a sensor mounted on the front bracket on the side away from the steering part, the trigger part being able to contact the sensor by rotating the steering rod, and after the trigger part contacts the sensor, the sensor being able to emit a deceleration signal.

[0007] In some embodiments, the trigger is a magnet, and the sensor is a magnetic induction sensor.

[0008] In some embodiments, front wheel connecting portions are rotatably provided on both sides of the front bracket, and a transmission rod is provided between the front wheel connecting portions and the steering portion, wherein the steering portion can drive the front wheel connecting portions to rotate.

[0009] In some embodiments, a sleeve is provided on the front bracket, through which the steering rod passes and a steering structure is installed at the bottom of the sleeve.

[0010] A personal mobility vehicle includes a rear body and a front body, characterized in that the front body is equipped with a steering deceleration mechanism as described above.

[0011] In some embodiments, a powertrain is provided within the rear vehicle body, and the sensor is capable of transmitting deceleration signals to the powertrain.

[0012] In some embodiments, a handlebar is mounted on the steering rod.

[0013] The beneficial effect of this application is that by setting a trigger part on the conventional steering structure to cooperate with a sensor that can emit a deceleration signal, when the steering lever is turned to a predetermined position, the sensor and the trigger part make mechanical contact or magnetic sensing contact, and the sensor will emit a signal to cause the power component of the mobility scooter to start decelerating, thus preventing safety accidents caused by failure to decelerate in time when turning.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of this application.

[0020] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-3As shown, this application provides a steering deceleration mechanism and a personal mobility vehicle, mainly including: a front support 1; a steering rod 2, rotatably mounted on the front support 1; a steering structure 3, disposed at the bottom of the steering rod 2, the steering structure 3 including a steering part 31 and a trigger part 32 capable of controlling the steering of the tires at both ends of the front support 1; and a sensor 4, mounted on the front support 1 on the side away from the steering part 31. The trigger part 32 can make mechanical contact or magnetic sensing contact with the sensor 4 by rotating the steering rod 2. After the trigger part 32 contacts the sensor 4, the sensor 4 can emit a deceleration signal. This deceleration signal can be transmitted to the control assembly to execute deceleration.

[0021] Specifically, when the steering lever 2 is rotated to the predetermined position, the trigger unit 32 can send a deceleration signal by directly contacting the micro switch or the magnetic induction sensor 4 to avoid the vehicle from traveling too fast during sharp turns and causing safety hazards.

[0022] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.

[0023] Preferably, the trigger 32 is a magnet, and the sensor 4 is a magnetic induction sensor 4 connected to a microswitch. This configuration ensures that when the steering rod 2 rotates to a certain angle, the magnet approaches the sensor 4, and the sensor 4 detects the change in the magnetic field and sends a deceleration signal. This solution eliminates physical contact, reduces mechanical wear, and improves reliability.

[0024] Reference Figure 3 As shown, front wheel connecting parts 11 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the front bracket 1. A transmission rod 111 is arranged between the front wheel connecting parts 11 and the steering part 31. The steering part 31 can drive the front wheel connecting parts 11 to rotate. The steering part 31 is linked with the front wheel connecting parts 11 through the transmission rod 111. When the steering rod 2 rotates, the steering part 31 pushes the transmission rod 111, so that the front wheel connecting parts 11 drive the tire to turn.

[0025] Specifically, a sleeve 12 is provided on the front bracket 1, the steering rod 2 passes through the sleeve 12 and a steering structure 3 is installed at the bottom of the sleeve 12. The steering rod 2 passes through the sleeve 12 and can rotate freely therein. The sleeve 12 plays a supporting and limiting role, ensuring the rotation of the steering rod 2 is stable, and preventing the steering rod 2 from deviating or shaking.

[0026] A personal mobility vehicle includes a rear body 5 and a front body 6, characterized in that the steering deceleration mechanism described in any one of the above claims is installed on the front body 6.

[0027] Specifically, a power assembly 51 is installed inside the rear vehicle body 5. The sensor 4 can transmit a deceleration signal to the power assembly 51. After the sensor 4 detects a steering signal, it transmits a deceleration signal to the power assembly 51, so that the vehicle automatically reduces its speed and prevents loss of control during sharp turns.

[0028] More specifically, a handlebar 21 is mounted on the steering lever 2 for the user to grip and control the direction. The rotation of the handlebar 21 directly drives the steering lever 2, thereby controlling the tire steering and triggering the deceleration mechanism.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.

The foregoing embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
