Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small electric mobile vehicle technology, specifically a small electric foldable magnesium alloy vehicle frame. Background Technology
[0002] Small electric mobile vehicles are a type of convenient transportation tool specifically designed for mobility assistance. They mainly include two types: electric wheelchairs and electric mobility scooters, suitable for the elderly, disabled, or those with limited mobility. The frames of most small electric mobile vehicles are manufactured using various specifications of profiles, sheet metal, standard parts, and other components through processes such as bending, welding, and screwing.
[0003] Existing manufacturing processes for small electric mobile vehicle frames are complex, resulting in low production efficiency and relatively heavy overall components. Furthermore, most frames are constructed from profiles, spliced together, or welded, resulting in numerous parts and making production difficult to control. Additionally, in most traditional vehicles, the battery and electronic control modules are located above or below the frame, reducing overhead space and user movement space, potentially leading to accidents and equipment damage during operation, thus posing a safety hazard. Therefore, this paper proposes a small, foldable magnesium alloy electric vehicle frame to address these issues. Utility Model Content
