[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] This utility model discloses an adjustable seat layout mobility scooter for the elderly.

[0025] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 The adjustable seat layout of the elderly mobility scooter shown includes a scooter chassis 1 and two seats 2. The upper surface of the scooter chassis 1 is provided with a groove, and two sliders 3 are slidably arranged inside the groove. The upper surface of each slider 3 is fixedly connected with a support rod 4. The lower surface of each seat 2 is fixedly connected with a fixing block 5. The interior of each fixing block 5 is provided with a cavity. The upper ends of the two support rods 4 pass through the lower surface of the corresponding fixing block 5 and extend into the interior of the corresponding cavity. Limiting mechanisms are provided between the two fixing blocks 5 and the corresponding sliders 3. The lower surfaces of both ends of each slider 3 are provided with grooves, and each groove is provided with a fixing mechanism. The two sliders 3 are fixed by the two fixing mechanisms respectively.

[0026] By rotating the two seats 2 individually, they can be brought face to face. Then, by moving the two seats 2 left or right, the distance between them can be changed, facilitating face-to-face communication for the elderly or creating space for placing larger items.

[0027] In order to fix seat 2 after it is rotated, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the limiting mechanism includes two annular plates 6, multiple inserts 7, two springs 8, and two pressure plates 9. The two annular plates 6 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the corresponding fixed block 5. Each insert 7 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower surface of the corresponding annular plate 6. The two springs 8 are respectively slidably sleeved on the upper surface of the corresponding support rod 4. The two pressure plates 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper end of the corresponding support rod 4. Multiple first slots are provided around the upper surface of the two sliders 3, and each first slot is matched with the corresponding insert 7.

[0028] Pull the seat 2 upwards, and then the fixing block 5 will move the corresponding annular plate 6 upwards. Then each insert 7 can be moved out of the corresponding first slot. The seat 2 can then rotate. After the seat 2 has rotated, put the seat 2 down. At this time, the weight of the seat and the rebound force of the spring 8 can make each insert 7 re-insert into the corresponding slot, so that the seat 2 can be fixed after rotation.

[0029] In order for seat 2 to move left and right, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the fixing mechanism includes multiple lead screws 10, multiple sleeves 11, and multiple knobs 12. Each lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to the inside of the slide groove. Each sleeve 11 has an internal thread groove at its upper end. Each sleeve 11 is threaded onto the outer surface of the corresponding lead screw 10 through the corresponding internal thread groove. The upper end of each lead screw 10 passes through the upper surface of the corresponding slide groove and is fixedly connected to the corresponding knob 12. Multiple second slots are provided on the lower surface of the slide groove. Each second slot matches the corresponding sleeve 11. Each slide groove has a first limiting groove inside. Each first limiting groove has a limiting block 13 slidably arranged inside. Each limiting block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the corresponding sleeve 11.

[0030] Rotating knob 12 causes the lead screw 10 to rotate within the groove. Since sleeve 11 is threaded onto the outer surface of lead screw 10 via an internal thread groove, sleeve 11 moves up and down along lead screw 10 as it rotates. When sleeve 11 moves upward and disengages from the second slot on the lower surface of the groove, slider 3 is no longer fixed and can slide within the groove on the chassis 1 of the mobility scooter. At this point, pushing slider 3 causes it to move within the groove, moving support rod 4 and seat 2 together.

[0031] To prevent slider 3 from falling out of the groove, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, two second limiting grooves are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the slide groove. Two limiting strips 14 are slidably arranged inside the two second limiting grooves. Each limiting strip 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the corresponding slider 3.

[0032] Each limit bar 14 prevents the slider 3 from moving out of the groove when the seat 2 is moved.

[0033] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
