Scooter

Abstract

The application provides a scooter, and relates to the technical field of scooters. The scooter is folded by setting a folding mechanism between a vertical pipe and a pedal, so that the whole vehicle head assembly is folded towards one side of the vehicle body assembly, and the space ratio of the scooter is reduced. The rotation of the connecting piece around the first rotation axis drives the vertical pipe to fold towards the side where the pedal is located, and drives the connecting piece to rotate around the second rotation axis, so that the auxiliary supporting end of the connecting piece moves to the front side of the pedal. In the folded state of the scooter, the auxiliary supporting end can form an auxiliary supporting effect on the scooter, so as to facilitate the parking of the scooter.

[0003] In related technologies, a scooter includes a front assembly and a body assembly, which are connected. The scooter moves by the front wheel in the front assembly and the rear wheel in the body assembly, as well as by driving the front wheel.

[0004] However, the large space occupied by such scooters can cause many inconveniences. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a scooter that can at least solve the problem of scooters taking up too much space.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0010] A folding mechanism, comprising a connector and a linkage; a first end of the connector is connected to the riser, and a second end of the connector and a first end of the linkage are rotatably connected about a first rotation axis; the linkage is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the pedal about a second rotation axis, and the second end of the linkage forms an auxiliary support end;

[0011] When the connector rotates around the first rotation axis, it causes the riser to fold toward the pedal and causes the linkage to rotate around the second rotation axis, so that the auxiliary support end is moved to the front side of the pedal.

[0012] The first rotation axis and the second rotation axis are parallel.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the riser includes a first part and a second part, which are telescopically connected along the length of the riser; the first part is rotatably connected to the connector about the axis of the riser.

The first handlebar assembly is rotatably connected to one end of the handlebar about a third rotation axis, and the second handlebar assembly is rotatably connected to the other end of the handlebar about a fourth rotation axis.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the third rotation axis and the fourth rotation axis are parallel; the third rotation axis intersects the first rotation axis, so that the first handle assembly rotates toward the side where the connector is located, and the second handle assembly rotates toward the side where the connector is located.

[0017] The locking shaft and the locking member are positioned correspondingly and connected to the pedal; the locking part of the locking member and the locking shaft are detachably locked; the axis of the locking shaft is parallel to the fifth rotation axis.

[0018] When the locking member rotates about the fifth rotation axis, and the locking part and the locking shaft disengage from the locking connection, the connecting member rotates about the first rotation axis.

[0019] As an optional implementation, the folding mechanism further includes an elastic element disposed between the locking element and the connecting element.

[0024] As an optional implementation, the front assembly further includes a battery device disposed on the riser;

[0025] The vehicle assembly also includes an electronic control component, which is disposed on the pedal; the electronic control component and the battery device are electrically connected.

[0026] As an optional implementation, the front assembly further includes a front wheel and a front fork, the front wheel and the front fork being rotatably connected, and the front fork being connected to the bottom of the seat tube;

[0030] The scooter provided in this application achieves folding of the entire front assembly towards one side of the body assembly by setting a folding mechanism between the stem and the footboard, thus reducing the scooter's space ratio. The rotation of the connecting member around the first rotation axis drives the linkage member to rotate around the second rotation axis, so that the auxiliary support end moves to the front side of the footboard. This allows the auxiliary support end to provide auxiliary support for the scooter in its folded position, facilitating parking. Attached Figure Description

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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 some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0055] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This application provides a scooter 100, including: a front assembly 110, a frame assembly 120, and a folding mechanism 130. The front assembly 110 includes a riser 111; the frame assembly 120 includes a footboard 121; the folding mechanism 130 includes a connector 131 and a linkage 132; the first end of the connector 131 is connected to the riser 111, and the second end of the connector 131 is rotatably connected to the first end of the linkage 132 about a first rotation axis 140; the linkage 132 is rotatably disposed at the bottom of the footboard 121 about a second rotation axis 150, and the second end of the linkage 132 forms an auxiliary support end 1321. When the connector 131 rotates about the first rotation axis 140, it causes the riser 111 to fold towards the footboard 121, and causes the linkage 132 to rotate about the second rotation axis 150, so that the auxiliary support end 1321 is moved to the front side of the footboard 121; wherein the first rotation axis 140 and the second rotation axis 150 are parallel.

[0056] According to the scooter 100 provided in this application embodiment, by setting a folding mechanism 130 between the riser 111 and the footboard 121, the entire front assembly 110 is folded towards the body assembly 120, reducing the space ratio of the scooter 100. Thus, the scooter 100 can be used in various scenarios, such as elevators, subways, and vehicle trunks. This application embodiment does not impose requirements on the scooter 100 or its specific usage scenarios.

[0057] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the rotation of the connector 131 around the first rotation axis 140 causes the riser 111 to fold toward the side where the pedal 121 is located. Simultaneously, it also causes the linkage 132 to rotate around the second rotation axis 150, moving the auxiliary support end 1321 to the front of the pedal 121. Thus, the scooter 100 can be placed vertically after folding, and the auxiliary support end 1321 provides vertical support for the entire scooter 100, facilitating parking of the scooter 100 after folding.

[0058] For example, in this embodiment, the connector 131 and the linkage 132 are connected by a pivot. Thus, the connector 131 and the linkage 132 achieve a rotatable connection through a simple hole-shaft mating structure, facilitating their assembly. The linkage 132 and the pedal 121 are connected by a pivot, achieving a rotatable connection between them. When the connector 131 drives the riser 111 to rotate backward around the first rotation axis 140, the riser 111 folds backward relative to the pedal 121, which in turn drives the linkage 132 to rotate around the second rotation axis 150, causing the auxiliary support end 1321 to move towards the front of the pedal 121.

[0059] Optionally, the riser 111 includes a first part 1111 and a second part 1112, which are telescopically connected along the length of the riser 111; the first part 1111 is connected to the connector 131 around the axis of the riser 111. In this way, by telescopically connecting the first part 1111 and the second part 1112 of the riser 111, the space ratio of the scooter 100 is further reduced when the scooter 100 is in a folded posture.

[0060] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Both the first part 1111 and the second part 1112 are tubular. The first part 1111 is fitted onto the outside of the second part 1112, thus forming a hole-shaft telescopic connection structure between the inner walls of the second part 1112 and the first part 1111, facilitating the assembly of the riser 111. Specifically, along the length of the riser 111, as the second part 1112 moves away from the first part 1111, the overall length of the riser 111 increases. Conversely, as the second part 1112 moves towards the connector 131 closer to the first part 1111, it can be accommodated within the first part 1111, shortening the length of the riser 111. Therefore, in the unfolded position of the scooter 100, the user can adjust the length of the riser 111 according to the telescopic changes of the first part 1111 and the second part 1112, improving the user experience. In the folded position of the scooter 100, the second part 1112 is housed in the first part 1111, shortening the length of the riser 111 and reducing the space ratio of the scooter 100 along the length of the pedal 121.

[0061] It should be noted that the first part 1111 and the second part 1112 are coaxially arranged.

[0062] Those skilled in the art will understand that after the riser 111 is folded toward the pedal 121 by the folding mechanism 130, and in conjunction with the telescopic setting of the riser 111, the space ratio of the scooter 100 in the folded state is further reduced.

[0063] As an alternative implementation, the front assembly 110 also includes a handlebar 112, a first handlebar assembly 113, and a second handlebar assembly 114. The handlebar 112 is disposed on the top of the riser 111. The first handlebar assembly 113 is rotatably connected to one end of the handlebar 112 about a third rotation axis, and the second handlebar assembly 114 is rotatably connected to the other end of the handlebar 112 about a fourth rotation axis.

[0064] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A handlebar 112 is positioned at the top of the riser 111. The handlebar 112 can be connected to the riser 111 via a snap-fit ​​or plug-in connection. This embodiment does not specify the exact connection method between the handlebar 112 and the riser 111. Along the length of the handlebar 112, a first handlebar assembly 113 and a second handlebar assembly 114 are respectively rotatably mounted at both ends of the handlebar 112. In the folded position of the scooter 100, the first handlebar assembly 113 rotates relative to the handlebar 112 to achieve folding, reducing the space occupied by the scooter 100 along the length of the handlebar 112 in the folded position. Similarly, the second handlebar assembly 114 rotates relative to the handlebar 112 to achieve folding, further reducing the space occupied by the scooter 100 along the length of the handlebar 112 in the folded position.

[0065] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first handle assembly 113 and the second handle assembly 114 can rotate in the same or different directions relative to the handle bar 112, and this is not required.

[0066] As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the first handlebar assembly 113 and the second handlebar assembly 114 can rotate in various directions relative to the handlebar crossbar 112, and the scooter 100 can have various different folding postures. As one optional embodiment, the third rotation axis and the fourth rotation axis are parallel; the third rotation axis intersects the first rotation axis 140, so that the first handlebar assembly 113 rotates toward the side where the connector 131 is located, and the second handlebar assembly 114 rotates toward the side where the connector 131 is located. Thus, both the first handlebar assembly 113 and the second handlebar assembly 114 rotate and fold relative to the handlebar crossbar 112 toward the connector 131, thereby reducing the spatial proportion of the scooter 100 along the length direction of the handlebar crossbar 112, reducing the spatial proportion of the skateboard along the length direction of the riser 111, and reducing the spatial proportion of the scooter 100 along the width direction of the pedal 121 in the folded posture.

[0067] Based on the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art will understand that the parallelism of the first rotation axis 140 and the second rotation axis 150 in this embodiment ensures smooth movement between the connector 131 and the linkage 132, as well as between the linkage 132 and the pedal 121, avoiding any movement jamming. Furthermore, the parallel arrangement of the third and fourth rotation axes ensures a balanced load distribution on the scooter 100 after the first handlebar assembly 113 and the second handlebar assembly 114 are connected to the handlebar 112, ensuring the stability of the scooter 100. Additionally, the intersection of the third rotation axis and the first rotation axis 140 facilitates the rotation of both the first handlebar assembly 113 and the second handlebar assembly 114 relative to the handlebar 112 towards the connector 131, achieving folding in the same direction and further reducing the space occupied by the scooter 100 in its folded state.

[0068] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the locking connection structure between the first part 1111 and the second part 1112 of the riser 111, the locking connection structure between the first handlebar assembly 113 and the handlebar 112, and the locking connection structure between the second handlebar assembly 114 and the handlebar 112 in the unfolded posture of the scooter 100 are common locking connection structures such as clamps and pins that are known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the scooter 100 is in its unfolded position, the connecting member 131 needs to be stably locked to prevent accidental rotation. Therefore, see... Figure 2 and Figure 5 The folding mechanism 130 also includes a locking member 134 and a locking shaft 135. The second end of the locking member 134 and the connecting member 131 are rotatably connected about a fifth rotation axis. The fifth rotation axis is parallel to the first rotation axis 140. The locking shaft 135 and the locking member 134 are positioned correspondingly and connected to the pedal 121. The locking part 1341 of the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135 are detachably locked. The axis of the locking shaft 135 is parallel to the fifth rotation axis. When the locking member 134 rotates about the fifth rotation axis and the locking part 1341 and the locking shaft 135 are disengaged, the connecting member 131 rotates about the first rotation axis 140.

[0070] For example, the locking member 134 and the connecting member 131 can be rotatably connected via a pivot, or the locking member 134 and the connecting member 131 can also be rotatably connected via a hinge. The rotatable connection structure between the locking member 134 and the connecting member 131 is not limited to the above examples, and this application embodiment does not make specific requirements in this regard. The locking member 134 rotates relative to the pivot around a fifth rotation axis, which is parallel to the first rotation axis 140. This reduces the positional offset of the locking member 134 during rotation, avoids movement jamming during the locking connection and disengagement process between the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135, and ensures smooth and stable movement switching between the unfolded and folded postures of the scooter 100.

[0071] See Figure 5 The locking shaft 135 is located on the front side of the pedal 121. The locking shaft 135 can be connected to the pedal 121 by means of snap-fit, embedding, or pin fixing, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the locking shaft 135 and the pedal 121. In this way, when the scooter 100 is in the unfolded position, the relative position of the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135 is stable, so as to facilitate the engagement and disengagement of the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135.

[0072] For example, the locking member 134 has a locking portion 1341, and the locking portion 1341 and the mating section 1351 of the locking shaft 135 are structurally compatible. For example, the surface of the mating section 1351 is arc-shaped, and the locking portion 1341 is also arc-shaped. In this way, the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135 are locked together by the structurally compatible locking portion 1341 and mating section 1351, and the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135 are easily disengaged from the locking connection, which further makes the folding and unfolding of the scooter 100 more convenient.

[0073] As an optional implementation, the mating section 1351 of the locking shaft 135 can be a combination of an arc-shaped surface and a straight surface. Correspondingly, the locking part 1341 of the locking member 134 and the mating section 1351 are structurally compatible so that the locking member 134 and the locking shaft 135 can be separably mated and connected through such a surface structure.

[0074] In the specific implementation process, the user can apply force to the locking member 134, the locking member 134 rotates around the fifth rotation axis, the locking part 1341 and the mating section 1351 of the locking shaft 135 separate, and the upright tube 111 rotates toward the pedal 121, completing the folding of the upright tube 111 toward the pedal 121. Furthermore, the second part 1112 of the upright tube 111 can be housed in the first part 1111, realizing the retraction of the upright tube 111. After that, force can be applied to the first handle assembly 113 and the second handle assembly 114, causing the first handle assembly 113 and the second handle assembly 114 to rotate relative to the handlebar 112 and fold toward the connecting member 131. In this way, the scooter 100 completes the switch from the unfolded posture to the folded posture.

[0075] Furthermore, the folding mechanism 130 in this embodiment also includes an elastic element 136, which is disposed between the locking element 134 and the connecting element 131. Through the elastic element 136, its elastic force acts on the locking element 134, providing support between them. This ensures that when the scooter 100 is in the open state, a stable locking connection is maintained between the locking element 134 and the locking shaft 135. When the scooter 100 needs to be folded, force is applied to the locking element 134 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic element 136, causing the locking element 134 to rotate around the fifth rotation axis. The locking portion 1341 of the locking element 134 and the mating section 1351 of the locking shaft 135 disengage from the locking connection.

[0076] For example, the elastic element 136 in this embodiment can be a torsion spring or a linear spring, etc. Optionally, the torsion spring is sleeved on the rotation shaft between the locking element 134 and the connecting element 131, or the torsion spring is directly connected to the locking element 134 and the connecting element 131. This embodiment does not require this.

[0077] See Figure 1 and Figure 8 In this embodiment of the application, the pedal 121 has a clearance portion 1211, and the connecting member 131 and the linkage member 132 are both disposed on the clearance portion 1211.

[0078] For example, the second end of the connector 131 is located in the clearance portion 1211, and the linkage 132 is located in the clearance portion 1211 and is rotatably connected to the pedal 121 via a pivot. In this embodiment, by providing the clearance portion 1211, the scooter 100, in its unfolded state, accommodates the linkage 132 through the clearance portion 1211, preventing the extension of the linkage 132 from interfering with the use of the scooter 100 in its unfolded state and improving the safety of the scooter 100. It can be understood that, in the folded state, the auxiliary support end 1321 of the linkage 132 extends towards the front of the pedal 121 to facilitate parking support for the scooter 100 in its folded state.

[0079] As an optional implementation, the front assembly 110 also includes a first fixing member 115, which is disposed on the riser tube 111; the body assembly 120 includes a rear panel 122, which is disposed on the side of the pedal 121 opposite to the connector 131; a second fixing member 1221 is disposed on the rear panel 122; when the riser tube 111 is folded to the pedal 121, the first fixing member 115 and the second fixing member 1221 are connected in cooperation.

[0080] For example, the first fastener 115 may be a clamp, which has a clamp body and fasteners. The clamp body is sleeved on the riser 111, and the connection between the clamp and the riser 111 is ensured by the connection between the fasteners and the clamp body.

[0081] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The scooter assembly 120 also includes a rear wheel 124, which is movably connected to the rear end of the footrest 121. A rear bumper 122 is connected to the footrest 121 and located above the rear wheel 124 to shield against mud, sand, and sewage kicked up by the rear wheel 124 during movement. A second fastener 1221, which can be a hook, is provided on the top of the rear bumper 122. When the riser 111 is folded onto the footrest 121, the fastener connects to the hook through the opening of the hook. Thus, the scooter 100 is locked in the folded position through the cooperation of the first fastener 115 and the second fastener 1221.

[0082] For example, the first fixing member 115 can be disposed on the first portion 1111 of the riser 111. The first fixing member can also be used to fasten the second portion 1112 of the riser 111 relative to the first portion 1111. Thus, when the scooter 100 is in a folded posture, the first fixing member 115 can ensure that the second portion 1112 is stably retracted into the first portion 1111, and at the same time cooperate with the second fixing member 1221 to connect. This can increase the number of fixing structural members on the scooter 100, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the scooter 100, so as to facilitate the user's folding and unfolding operations of the scooter 100. That is to say, the first fixing member 115 can also form a locking connection structure between the first portion 1111 and the second portion 1112.

[0083] See Figure 1 and Figure 6The front assembly 110 also includes a front wheel 117 and a front fork 118, which are rotatably connected. The front fork 118 is connected to the bottom of the riser 111. An auxiliary support end 1321 of the linkage 132 is provided with an auxiliary wheel 133. When the riser 111 is folded into the pedal 121, the front wheel 117 and the rear wheel 124 are opposite each other along the length of the pedal 121, and the front wheel 117 and the auxiliary wheel 133 are on the same plane on the same side away from the pedal 121. Thus, when the scooter 100 is in the folded position, the scooter 100 can be stood up, that is, the rear wheel 124 is upward, and the front wheel 117 and the auxiliary wheel 133 are downward. The scooter 100 can be moved by the front wheel 117 and / or the auxiliary wheel 133, so that the scooter 100 can be moved in the folded position.

[0084] In some embodiments, the front assembly 110 also includes a battery device 116, which is mounted on the footboard 121. However, the limited installation space on the footboard 121 makes it difficult to increase the capacity of the battery device 116, thus making it difficult to increase the range of the scooter 100.

[0085] To address this issue, the battery device 116 in this embodiment is mounted on the riser 111. This eliminates the limitation of the installation space on the pedal 121, allowing a large-capacity battery device 116 to be applied to the scooter 100, thereby increasing the scooter 100's range and improving the user experience.

[0086] The vehicle assembly 120 in this embodiment of the application also includes an electronic control component 123, which is disposed on the pedal 121; the electronic control component 123 is electrically connected to the battery device 116.

[0087] See Figure 1 , Figure 8 For example, the electronic control component 123 can be disposed on the bottom side of the footboard 121. The battery device 116 and the electronic control component 123 are connected by a conductive line. The conductive line can be inserted into the hollow part of the scooter 100, which improves the aesthetics of the scooter 100 while realizing the electrical connection between the battery device 116 and the electronic control component 123.

[0088] It is easy to understand that the scooter 100 provided in this embodiment connects the upright tube 111 and the pedal 121 through a folding mechanism 130, realizing the folding of the upright tube 111 toward the pedal 121. During the folding process, the auxiliary support end 1321 of the linkage 132 in the folding mechanism 130 is driven to the front side of the pedal 121. When the scooter 100 is in the folded position, the auxiliary support end 1321 provides support for the scooter 100, so that the scooter 100 can be parked vertically after folding. At the same time, the telescopic upright tube 111, and the first handlebar assembly 113 and the second handlebar assembly 114, which are rotated relative to the handlebar 112 and folded toward the side where the connector 131 is located, further reduce the space occupation of the scooter 100 in the folded position.

[0089] Thus, due to the reduced overall space ratio of this scooter 100, the packaging space can be reduced during packaging. This means that a relatively small packaging box can be used to meet the packaging requirements of the scooter 100, thereby reducing packaging costs. After packaging, the number of packaged scooters 100 can be increased in a transport vehicle, reducing the number of transport vehicles required and further reducing transportation costs. Furthermore, in its folded state, the scooter 100 can be stably parked on the ground via the auxiliary support end 1321, allowing for use in scenarios such as subways and elevators, occupying less space in these environments. Additionally, the reduced space ratio of the folded scooter 100 makes it easier for users to store and carry, allowing them to place it in the trunk of a vehicle, further improving the user experience.

[0090] It should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mentioned in the specification indicate that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0091] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.

[0092] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this application should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on something” but also “on something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0093] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0094] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. 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 or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
