Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobility scooter technology, and more particularly to a forward and backward operating structure for a mobility scooter. Background Technology

[0002] Personal mobility scooters are short-distance transportation tools designed specifically for certain groups, primarily serving people with mobility impairments, the elderly, or short-distance commuters. They are characterized by their compact size, ease of operation, and range adapted to short-distance needs. Common applications include movement within communities, supermarket shopping, and park visits. Compared to traditional cars, personal mobility scooters are designed for low-speed operation, aiming to lower the operational threshold through lightweight design and meet the convenient travel needs of different users within limited activity ranges. They are an important tool for improving the convenience of life for specific groups.

[0003] Currently, the forward and backward operation of mobility scooters generally adopts a potentiometer-type structure. This structure requires users to turn the potentiometer knob or lever with their fingers. However, this design is difficult to adapt to users with different body types. For petite users, such as elderly women or teenagers, due to limited arm length and finger span, their fingers often cannot easily reach the operating parts. They need to lean forward or deliberately stretch to complete the operation, increasing the difficulty of use and safety hazards. For larger users, due to larger hand size and greater arm extension requirements, their hands cannot be naturally extended during operation, and their fingers tend to be curled up. Prolonged use can easily lead to hand muscle fatigue and reduce operating comfort, making it difficult to meet the needs of users of different body types. Therefore, to solve the above problems, we provide a forward and backward operation structure for mobility scooters. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a forward and backward operating structure for a mobility scooter to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] A forward and backward operation structure for a mobility scooter includes a handlebar and a handlebar grip. The top of the handlebar is fixedly connected to a fixed end, and a fixed hole is provided on one side of the fixed end. The handlebar grip is located inside the fixed hole. A backward shift button and a forward shift button are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the handlebar. A left handlebar cover and a right handlebar cover are respectively fitted on the outer surface of the handlebar.

[0007] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided on one side of the fixed end, and a fixing screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole. A threaded fixing groove is provided on the outer surface of the direction grip, and the outer surface of one end of the fixing screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded fixing groove.

[0008] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the left and right grips are provided with anti-slip stripes, and the left and right grips are located on one side of the backshift and forwardshift buttons, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom surface of the fixed end has two button mounting slots, and the back dial and the forward dial are located inside the two button mounting slots respectively.

[0010] Preferably, the front of the steering lever has two threaded mounting grooves.

[0011] The above-described technical solutions adopted in the embodiments of this application can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The forward and reverse operation structure of this mobility scooter allows the handlebars to mate with the fixed end through fixing holes. In addition, the use of fixing screws, threaded holes and threaded fixing grooves ensures a stable assembly, avoiding the operation deviation problem caused by loose assembly in traditional structures. At the same time, the reverse and forward shift buttons are independently installed through button mounting slots, and the left and right handlebar covers can be fitted onto the surface of the handlebars accordingly. This ensures that the position of the operating parts is adapted to the natural grip range of most users, solving the problem that the fixed installation position of traditional structures makes it difficult for petite people to reach and uncomfortable for large people to stretch.

[0013] Second, the forward and backward operation structure of this mobility scooter allows users to press the backward or forward control button with their thumb. The operation signal can be quickly transmitted to the control system and trigger the corresponding drive module to achieve direction switching. The design of the backward or forward control button avoids the safety hazard of petite users having to lean forward and stretch to operate it, and also prevents muscle fatigue caused by the hand bending of larger users, thus improving the user experience for different user groups.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] The technical solutions provided by the various embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution for the forward and backward operation structure of a mobility scooter:

[0023] A forward and reverse operation structure for a personal mobility scooter includes a handlebar 1 and a handlebar 3. A fixed end 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the handlebar 1. A fixing hole 8 is provided on one side of the fixed end 2. The handlebar 3 is located inside the fixing hole 8. A reverse shift button 6 and a forward shift button 7 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the handlebar 3. A left handlebar sleeve 5 and a right handlebar sleeve 4 are respectively fitted onto the outer surface of the handlebar 3. Specifically, the fixing hole 8 of the fixed end 2 can accommodate the handlebar 3, enabling the assembly and connection of the two. The reverse shift button 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the handlebar 3. The shift knob 6 and the forward shift knob 7, as well as the reverse shift knob 6 and the forward shift knob 7, are all push-to-trigger structures. The bottom of the shift knob is connected to the circuit of the mobility scooter's control system. When pressed, the internal contacts of the shift knob close, generating an electrical signal and transmitting it to the control system. After receiving the signal, the system triggers the corresponding forward or reverse drive module. When released, the contacts open, the operation stops, and the direction is switched. These are the key operating components for controlling the mobility scooter's forward and reverse movement. The left handlebar grip 5 and the right handlebar grip 4 are placed over the steering handle 3, providing a grip for the user's hands and ensuring a comfortable fit during operation.

[0024] In this embodiment, a threaded hole 10 is provided on one side of the fixed end 2, and a fixing screw 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 10. A threaded fixing groove 9 is provided on the outer surface of the steering handle 3. The outer surface of one end of the fixing screw 11 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded fixing groove 9. Two threaded mounting grooves 13 are provided on the front of the steering handle 1. Specifically, the threaded hole 10 and the fixing screw 11 cooperate to achieve a fixing effect through threaded connection. The threaded fixing groove 9 on the surface of the steering handle 3 is threadedly connected to one end of the fixing screw 11, which can firmly fix the steering handle 3 in the fixing hole 8 of the fixed end 2, preventing the steering handle 3 from loosening or shifting during use. The two threaded mounting grooves 13 on the front of the steering handle 1 can be used to assemble and fix the entire operating structure to the main body of the mobility scooter, ensuring the overall stability of the structure.

[0025] In this embodiment, anti-slip stripes are provided on the outer surfaces of the left grip 5 and the right grip 4. The left grip 5 and the right grip 4 are located on one side of the backshift button 6 and the forward shift button 7, respectively. Two button mounting slots 12 are provided on the bottom surface of the fixed end 2. The backshift button 6 and the forward shift button 7 are located inside the two button mounting slots 12, respectively. Specifically, the anti-slip stripes on the surfaces of the left grip 5 and the right grip 4 increase the friction between the hand and the grip, preventing the user's hand from slipping during operation and improving grip stability. The left grip 5 and the right grip 4 are located on one side of the backshift button 6 and the forward shift button 7, respectively, which can guide the user's hand to be naturally placed in a position that is convenient for operating the shift buttons. The two button mounting slots 12 on the bottom surface of the fixed end 2 can provide installation space for the backshift button 6 and the forward shift button 7, ensuring the stability and smooth operation of the shift buttons after installation.

[0026] Working principle: When the forward and reverse operation mechanism of this mobility scooter is in use, firstly, insert the steering handle 3 into the fixing hole 8 of the fixed end 2, align the threaded fixing groove 9 on the surface of the steering handle 3 with the threaded hole 10 on the side of the fixed end 2, screw the fixing screw 11 into the threaded hole 10 and thread it into the threaded fixing groove 9 to complete the stable assembly of the steering handle 3 and the fixed end 2. Then, install the reverse shift button 6 and the forward shift button 7 into the two button mounting slots 12 on the bottom surface of the fixed end 2 respectively. Then, put the left handlebar sleeve 5 and the right handlebar sleeve 4 on the surface of the steering handle 3 respectively, and place them on the side of the reverse shift button 6 and the forward shift button 7 respectively.

[0027] When in use, the user holds the left handlebar grip 5 and the right handlebar grip 4 with both hands respectively. The anti-slip stripes on their surfaces can improve grip stability. When it is necessary to move backward, press the backward shift button 6 with your thumb. This operation signal is transmitted to the mobility scooter control system, triggering the backward drive module to make the mobility scooter move backward. When it is necessary to move forward, press the forward shift button 7, which similarly triggers the forward drive module to complete the forward movement.
