Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tricycles, and in particular to a drifting tricycle. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the social economy and the constant improvement of people's living standards, the sports equipment industry has expanded rapidly. Among these, bicycles and various extreme sports have achieved considerable popularity, demonstrating a vast market space and development potential. Among the many extreme sports-related technologies, vehicle drifting, with its unique sporting appeal, is highly favored and sought after by sports enthusiasts.

[0003] Drifting, a classic racing term, specifically refers to a movement where the car's nose points at a large angle to its actual direction of motion, allowing it to slide sideways through a corner. From a technical perspective, the core conditions for drifting can be summarized as follows: the rear wheels lose most or all of their grip, while the front wheels maintain grip, at most losing only a small portion; the optimal state is for the front wheels to gain additional grip. Based on this, as long as the front wheels possess a certain lateral force, they can cause the car to fishtail, thus completing the drift.

[0004] Currently, the application of drifting technology is mainly concentrated in motorized vehicles such as racing cars and automobiles with sufficient power output, and the related technologies are relatively mature. However, in the field of non-motorized sports equipment such as bicycles and tricycles, the research and application of drifting technology is still relatively lagging behind.

[0005] Specifically, traditional bicycles, limited by their identical wheel diameters and limited power output, struggle to effectively lose traction at the rear wheel, making drifting extremely difficult. Tricycles, due to their unique structure, face even greater challenges in meeting the mechanical requirements for drifting compared to bicycles. Therefore, enabling tricycles to drift more easily has long been a pressing technical problem for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drifting tricycle, which has the advantage of being able to drift relatively easily.

[0007] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drifting tricycle, comprising: A frame on which a seat is mounted; A drive wheel located at the front end of the vehicle frame to move the vehicle frame; A bogie rotatably connected to the rear end of the chassis, on which a rear wheel is mounted; and, A handle fixed to the bogie for operating the bogie to rotate so as to steer the vehicle.

[0008] The above technical solution uses the drive wheels to move the vehicle, and the operation handle controls the rotation of the bogie, thereby controlling the vehicle's steering. The rear wheel steering replaces the front wheel steering. The rear wheel steering has a steering transition characteristic, that is, the torsion angle of the vehicle body is greater than the rear wheel steering angle, which makes it easier for the rear wheels to be dragged by the vehicle body and lose traction, causing the rear wheels to slip laterally and the vehicle body to drift, thus making it easier to complete the drifting action.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bogie is connected to the vehicle frame via a pivot shaft.

[0010] With the above technical solution, the bogie can rotate more easily than the chassis.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present invention, the connection between the bogie and the vehicle frame is provided with a raised annular abutment groove.

[0012] Through the above technical solution, the abutment texture reduces the contact area between the bogie and the frame, thereby reducing friction. This allows the bogie to rotate faster when the same force is applied to the handlebars, which in turn drives the rear wheels to turn faster and makes drifting easier.

[0013] In one embodiment of this utility model, the contact surface between the abutment texture and the frame is set as an arc-shaped surface.

[0014] The above technical solution allows the top part of the abutment groove to abut against the frame, further reducing the contact area between the bogie and the frame, thereby further reducing friction and making it easier to drift.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the frame and the seat are fixed by pins and slots, and the frame is provided with multiple sets of slots for the seat to be installed in different positions.

[0016] The above technical solution allows users to adjust the seat position according to their body size, thereby increasing the vehicle's versatility.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, two handles are provided, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bogie.

[0018] The above technical solutions facilitate two-handed operation and improve the user's control over vehicle steering.

[0019] In one embodiment of this utility model, the rear wheel is configured as a treadless tire.

[0020] By using the above technical solutions, the friction between the rear wheels and the ground is reduced, making it easier for the rear wheels to be dragged by the vehicle body and lose traction, thus making it easier for the vehicle body to drift.

[0021] As described above, the drifting tricycle of this invention has the following beneficial effects: The drive wheels move the vehicle, and the steering is controlled by the operating handle to rotate the bogie. The rear wheels are used instead of the front wheels for steering. Rear wheel steering has a steering transition characteristic, that is, the torsional angle of the vehicle body is greater than the steering angle of the rear wheels. This makes it easier for the rear wheels to be dragged by the vehicle body and lose traction, causing the rear wheels to slip laterally and the vehicle body to drift, thus making it easier to complete the drifting action. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 1 The diagram shown is a partial explosion illustration of the drifting tricycle disclosed in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the bogie portion of the drift tricycle disclosed in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] Explanation of the technical feature labels in the attached drawings: 1. Frame; 2. Seat; 3. Pin; 4. Slot; 5. Drive wheel; 6. Pedal; 7. Bogie; 8. Rear wheel; 9. Welding groove; 10. Handlebar. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a drifting tricycle, comprising: The frame 1 has a seat 2 mounted on it. The frame 1 and the seat 2 are fixed together by a pin 3 and a slot 4. The pin 3 is fixed to the bottom of the seat 2. Multiple slots 4 are provided on the frame 1 along the length of the vehicle body, allowing the seat 2 to be installed in different positions. This makes it convenient for users to adjust the position of the seat 2 according to their body size, thus improving the vehicle's versatility.

[0027] The drive wheel 5 is rotatably connected to the front end of the frame 1. A pedal 6 is installed on each side of the drive wheel 5. The user drives the drive wheel 5 to rotate by stepping on the pedal 6. In other embodiments, the drive wheel 5 can also be driven to rotate by a motor.

[0028] It also includes a bogie 7 that is rotatably connected to the rear end of the frame 1 via a pivot. Two rear wheels 8 are symmetrically mounted on the bogie 7. The rear wheels 8 are set as untreaded wheels, that is, no anti-slip treads are set on the rear wheels 8, thereby reducing the coefficient of friction between the rear wheels 8 and the ground. When the vehicle body drags the rear wheels 8, the friction between the rear wheels 8 and the ground is reduced, so that when the vehicle rotates, the rear wheels 8 are more likely to lose traction and drift.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 At the connection between the bogie 7 and the frame 1, an annular abutment pattern 9 is provided. The contact surface between the abutment pattern 9 and the frame 1 is an arc-shaped surface. In this embodiment, multiple abutment patterns 9 are provided and are concentrically arranged around the axis of rotation at the connection between the bogie 7 and the frame 1. The abutment pattern 9 reduces the contact area between the bogie 7 and the frame 1, thereby reducing the friction force. As a result, when the same force is applied to the handlebar 10, the bogie 7 rotates faster, thereby driving the rear wheel 8 to turn faster and making it easier to perform drifting maneuvers.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 It also includes a handle 10 fixed to the bogie 7 for operating the rotation of the bogie 7 to steer the vehicle. There are two handles 10, which are symmetrically arranged on the bogie 7. The handles 10 and the bogie 7 are integrally injection molded. The user controls the rotation of the bogie by operating the handles 10, thereby controlling the change of direction of the rear wheel 8. The rear wheel 8 steering has a steering transition characteristic, that is, the torsion angle of the vehicle body is greater than the steering angle of the rear wheel 8, so that the rear wheel 8 is easily dragged by the vehicle body and loses traction, causing the rear wheel 8 to slip laterally and the vehicle body to drift, thus making it easier to complete the drifting action.

[0031] This utility model uses the drive wheel 5 to move the vehicle, and the operating handle 10 controls the rotation of the bogie 7, thereby controlling the vehicle's steering. The rear wheel 8 is used to steer instead of the front wheel. The rear wheel 8 has a steering transition characteristic, that is, the torsion angle of the vehicle body is greater than the steering angle of the rear wheel 8. This makes it easier for the rear wheel 8 to be dragged by the vehicle body and lose traction, causing the rear wheel 8 to slip laterally and the vehicle body to drift, thus making it easier to complete the drifting action.

[0032] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. All equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
