[0023] This application provides a seat 1 for a mobility scooter. Please refer to... Figure 1 The seat 1 includes a saddle 10, a bracket 20, and at least one support member 30.

[0024] It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the specific type of mobility vehicle. For example, it can be an electric scooter, an electric mountain bike, an electric bicycle, an electric moped, an electric motorcycle, etc.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1The saddle 10 includes an interconnected seat cushion 11 and at least one connecting rod 12. It is understood that all connecting rods 12 are connected to the seat cushion 11.

[0026] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, "at least one" refers to one or more.

[0027] At least one of the connecting rods 12 (all of the connecting rods 12) is located below the seat cushion 11. It should be noted that in the scenario where the user sits back in the seat 1, the user is located above the seat cushion 11.

[0028] It should be noted that "above" and "below" are as follows: Figure 1 The directions indicated by the up and down arrows.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 The support 20 is located below the seat cushion 11. That is, the support 20 and the seat cushion 11 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, with the support 20 located on the side of the seat cushion 11 facing downwards.

[0030] It should be noted that when the seat 1 in this embodiment of the application is installed on the mobility scooter, the bracket 20 is used to connect with the frame of the mobility scooter.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 At least one of the aforementioned support members 30 (i.e. all of the support members 30) is at least partially disposed between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20.

[0032] It should be noted that the support member 30 mentioned above is at least partially disposed between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20. This means that the support member 30 can be entirely disposed between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20, or only partially disposed between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20.

[0033] The support member 30 can be removed between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20, and the saddle 10 is supported on the bracket 20 by at least one of the aforementioned support members 30.

[0034] It should be noted that there is no limitation on the specific way in which the support member 30 can be removed from between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20.

[0035] Understandably, the weight of the saddle 10 itself and the external forces it bears can be transferred to the bracket 20 through the support member 30, so that the bracket 20 can support the saddle 10, making it easier for the user to sit stably on the seat cushion 11. In related technologies, taking electric motorcycles as an example, the seat is directly connected to the frame via a bracket. When adjusting the height of the seat, users need to replace the seat with one of different thicknesses, which is inconvenient.

[0036] The seat 1 provided in this application embodiment has a removable support member 30 between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20, which allows the user to change the height of the seat cushion 11 by removing the support member 30 or replacing it with a support member of a different specification, thereby adjusting the sitting posture without having to replace the entire seat cushion 11, which improves the user's ease of operation.

[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The connecting rod 12 is connected to the bracket 20 via the support member 30. It is understood that while the support member 30 is detachably connected to the bracket 20, it is also detachably connected to the connecting rod 12. Thus, the support member 30 connects both the bracket 20 and the connecting rod 12, ensuring the stability of the connection between the connecting rod 12 and the bracket 20 via the support member 30, and also allowing the support member 30 to be removed from between the seat cushion 11 and the bracket 20.

[0038] It should be noted that there is no limit to the specific method by which the support member 30 and the connecting rod 12 can be detachably connected.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 One of the support member 30 and the connecting rod 12 has a connecting hole 30a, and the other is inserted into and fixed in the connecting hole 30a. Thus, the connection between the support member 30 and the connecting rod 12 is achieved through the connecting hole 30a, which improves the connection strength between the support member 30 and the connecting rod 12, ensuring the stability of the connecting rod 12 supported on the bracket 20 by the support member 30. It should be noted that the above technical solutions include the following types: First, the support member 30 has a connecting hole 30a, and the connecting rod 12 is inserted into and fixed in the connecting hole 30a; Second, the connecting rod 12 has a connecting hole 30a, and the support member 30 is inserted into and fixed in the connecting hole 30a.

[0040] In some embodiments, the wall of the connecting hole 30a is formed with an internal thread, and the other includes a first threaded segment 12a, which is inserted into the connecting hole 30a and engages with the internal thread. Thus, the engagement of the first threaded segment 12a with the internal thread not only improves the connection strength between the support member 30 and the connecting rod 12, but also allows the support member 30 to be removed from the connecting rod 12 by screwing on either the connecting rod 12 or the support member 30, improving the ease of removal of the support member 30 and enhancing user convenience.

[0041] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the connecting rod 12 has a connecting hole 30a, the support member 30 includes a first threaded section 12a; when the support member 30 has a connecting hole 30a, the connecting rod 12 includes a first threaded section 12a.

[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The bracket 20 has a through hole 20a, and the end of the support member 30 away from the connecting rod 12 passes through the through hole 20a. It can be understood that the through hole 20a extends through the bracket 20 in the vertical direction. Thus, after the support member 30 passes through the through hole 20a, it establishes a connection with the bracket 20. The through hole 20a provides lateral constraint to the support member 30, enabling the connection between the bracket 20 and the support member 30 to withstand greater lateral forces and improving the connection strength between the support member 30 and the bracket 20.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The seat 1 includes a retaining element 40, which is located on the bottom side of the bracket 20 and connected to the portion of the support member 30 that passes through the through hole 20a. It is understood that the portion of the support member 30 after passing through the through hole 20a is connected to the retaining element 40, which prevents the support member 30 from detaching from the through hole 20a, thus establishing a connection between the support member 30 and the bracket 20 and improving the connection strength between them.

[0044] It should be noted that the support member 30 and the anti-reverse member 40 are detachably connected. The user can disconnect the support member 30 and the anti-reverse member 40 so that the support member 30 can be detached from the through hole 20a, thereby disassembling and replacing the support member 30.

[0045] It should be noted that the specific structure of the anti-reverse component 40 is not limited.

[0046] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The anti-reverse component 40 is a nut, and the support component 30 includes a second threaded section, which is inserted through the through hole 20a and threadedly engaged with the nut.

[0047] Thus, the threaded engagement between the second threaded section and the nut not only enhances the connection strength between the support member 30 and the bracket 20, but also allows the support member 30 to be removed from the nut by screwing it on, thereby improving the ease of removal of the support member 30 and enhancing the user's operational convenience.

[0048] It should be noted that the specific structure of the support member 30 is not limited.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The support member 30 includes a first rod segment 31 and a second rod segment 32 connected to each other. The cross-sectional area of ​​the first rod segment 31 is larger than that of the second rod segment 32, so as to form a stepped surface 31a at the junction of the two. The stepped surface 31a faces the bracket 20. The second rod segment 32 passes through the through hole 20a and is connected to the anti-reverse member 40. The stepped surface 31a abuts against the top surface of the bracket 20.

[0050] Thus, through the contact between the stepped surface 31a and the top surface of the bracket 20, the stepped surface 31a can serve as the contact surface between the support member 30 and the bracket 20. This allows a portion of the force borne by the support member 30 to be transferred to the bracket 20 via the stepped surface 31a, thereby reducing the force transmitted to the bracket 20 through the connection between the second rod segment 32 and the anti-reverse member 40, and improving the stability of the connection between the second rod segment 32 and the anti-reverse member 40. Furthermore, the stepped surface 31a can also serve as a positioning reference surface, facilitating positioning by users and assemblers, thereby improving the ease of assembly and disassembly of the support member 30.

[0051] It should be noted that the material of the support component 30 is not limited. For example, the support component 30 can be made of 40Cr alloy steel, which has good toughness.

[0052] It should be noted that in the embodiment where the anti-reverse component 40 is a nut, the torque when the support component 30 is threadedly engaged with the nut is 10 N·m (Newton-meter) to 15 N·m, for example, the torque is 10 N·m, 11 N·m, 12 N·m, 13 N·m, 14 N·m or 15 N·m, etc., which can improve the connection strength between the anti-reverse component 40 and the support component 30.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The connecting rod 12 is detachably connected to the bracket 20. The support member 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 12 and supports the bracket 20 and the seat cushion 11. It can be understood that, along the extension direction of the connecting rod 12, both ends of the support member 30 abut against the top surface of the bracket 20 and the bottom surface of the seat cushion 11, respectively. The force borne by the seat cushion 11 can be transmitted to the bracket 20 through the connecting rod 12 and the support member 30, allowing the seat cushion 11 to provide better support for the user. Furthermore, the fact that the support member 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 12 also facilitates the disassembly of the support member 30.

[0054] It should be noted that in the embodiment where a boss 11a is formed on the side of the seat cushion 11 facing the support 20, the bottom surface of the seat cushion 11 refers to the platform surface of the boss 11a.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3The end of the connecting rod 12 away from the seat cushion 11 passes through the through hole 20a. The anti-reverse member 40 is located on the bottom side of the bracket 20 and is connected to the part of the connecting rod 12 that passes through the through hole 20a. It can be understood that the part of the connecting rod 12 after passing through the through hole 20a is connected to the anti-reverse member 40. The anti-reverse member 40 can prevent the connecting rod 12 from detaching from the through hole 20a. That is, the anti-reverse member 40 can axially constrain the connecting rod 12, and the through hole 20a can laterally constrain the connecting rod 12, so that the connection between the bracket 20 and the support member 30 can withstand greater forces and improve the connection strength between the support member 30 and the bracket 20.

[0056] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A boss 11a is formed on the side of the seat cushion 11 facing the support 20, and the top end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the boss 11a.

[0057] Thus, the boss 11a can act as a reinforcing rib to improve the structural strength of the connection between the cushion 11 and the connecting rod 12. In addition, the boss 11a can also disperse the supporting force from the connecting rod 12 to reduce the possibility of damage to the cushion 11 caused by the concentration of the supporting force from the connecting rod 12.

[0058] For example, the cross-sectional area of ​​the boss 11a is larger than that of the connecting rod 12, and the top surface of the support member 30 abuts against the boss 11a. It is understood that the surface of the boss 11a can serve as the contact surface between the support member 30 and the seat cushion 11, so that the supporting force from the support member 30 can be evenly transmitted to the seat cushion 11, reducing the possibility of the supporting force from the support member 30 being too concentrated, thereby ensuring the force transmission between the seat cushion 11 and the support member 30.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 At least a portion of the seat cushion 11 is integrally formed with the connecting rod 12. This improves the connection strength between the seat cushion 11 and the connecting rod 12, thereby ensuring that the connecting rod 12 can stably support the seat cushion 11 and enhancing the safety of the user when using the seat cushion 11.

[0060] This application also provides a mobility scooter, which includes a frame and a seat 1 as described in any of the above embodiments, with a bracket 20 connected to the frame.
