[0002] With the popularization of shared mobility and light transportation, electric scooters have become an important choice for users' commuting, shopping and leisure due to their portability and flexibility; electric scooters are also equipped with seats so that users can ride while sitting.

[0003] In related technologies, the seat is directly fixed to the scooter's footboard or frame with bolts. The seat's installation position cannot be moved, and users need to manually remove the seat when standing and riding, which is time-consuming, requires tools, and is inefficient. Users also want to be able to fold and store the electric scooter when not in use, but the fixed seat hinders the folding operation, making it impossible to fold and store electric scooters with seats.

The first main left-turning shaft and the first secondary left-turning shaft are spaced apart along the forward direction of the electric scooter, and the second main left-turning shaft and the second secondary left-turning shaft are also spaced apart along the forward direction of the electric scooter.

[0010] In one possible implementation, along the forward direction of the electric scooter, the width of the main support member is greater than the width of the secondary support member, and the projection of the secondary support member in the left-right direction of the electric scooter is located within the projection of the main support member in the left-right direction of the electric scooter.

[0043] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0044] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0045] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] First, the direction proposed in the embodiments of this application will be explained:

[0047] The vertical direction is the up-down direction of the electric scooter, which is the z-axis shown in the figure; the left-right direction of the electric scooter is the x-axis shown in the figure; and the forward direction of the electric scooter is the y-axis shown in the figure.

[0048] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The seat provided in this application embodiment includes: a base 100, a support and adjustment assembly 200, and a seat body 300.

[0049] The base 100 is used to fix and mount the electric scooter to the footrest.

[0050] The support adjustment assembly 200 includes a first end and a second end that are opposite each other in the vertical direction (z-axis shown in the figure). The first end is rotatably connected to the base 100 via a first pivot. The seat body 300 is rotatably connected to the second end via a second pivot. Both the first pivot and the second pivot are parallel to the left-right direction of the electric scooter (x-axis shown in the figure).

[0051] In the forward direction of the electric scooter (y-axis shown in the figure), when the first end of the support adjustment component 200 rotates forward around the first pivot axis, the support adjustment component 200 drives the seat body 300 to move forward, and the seat body 300 moves closer to the handlebars of the electric scooter; when the first end of the support adjustment component 200 rotates backward around the first pivot axis, the support adjustment component 200 drives the seat body 300 to move backward, and the seat body 300 moves closer to the rear of the electric scooter.

[0052] The rearward-moving seat body 300 can make way for users who are standing while riding.

[0053] At the same time, the seat body 300 can also rotate around the second pivot, so that the support adjustment component 200 drives the seat body 300 to move forward and backward, ensuring that the seat body 300 is set horizontally, which is convenient for the user to ride in a sitting position.

[0054] When the electric scooter needs to be folded, the support adjustment component 200 moves the seat body 300 forward until the support adjustment component 200 is horizontally positioned on the footrest of the electric scooter; at this time, the seat body 300 can also be folded horizontally.

[0055] The adjustable support assembly 200 enables rapid transformation of the electric scooter seat, allowing it to be quickly adjusted to different positions. This allows users to ride in either a seated or standing position, adapting the scooter to various user needs (such as commuting, sports, and storage), thus expanding the product's usage scenarios. Furthermore, the support assembly 200 also allows for quick folding of the seat when folding the electric scooter, eliminating the need to remove it. This solves the technical problem of fixed seat installation in related technologies, which resulted in electric scooters having limited functionality and being unable to be folded and stored, making them easier to carry and store.

[0056] It should be noted that the folding angle design of the support adjustment component 200 is compatible with the folding structure of the scooter frame, allowing the entire scooter to be folded without removing the seat, significantly improving portability.

[0057] In this embodiment of the application, the seat also includes a locking component 400.

[0058] The locking component 400 is operably disposed on the support adjustment component 200. The support adjustment component 200 is provided with an adjustment part that cooperates with the locking component 400. The locking component 400 can engage or disengage with the adjustment part. When the locking component 400 is engaged with the adjustment part, the support adjustment component 200 is locked. When the locking component 400 is disengaged from the adjustment part, the support adjustment component 200 can rotate.

[0059] After the adjustment of the support adjustment component 200 is completed, the locking component 400 locks the support adjustment component 200 to ensure the stability of the seat under different usage conditions.

[0060] When the locking component 400 is adjusted and disengaged from the adjusting part, the supporting adjusting component 200 can drive the seat body 300 to rotate forward or backward by a certain angle. After the rotation is completed, the locking component 400 is adjusted again to engage with the adjusting part, thereby locking the supporting adjusting component 200, preventing the seat body 300 from rotating, and ensuring the stability of the seat under different usage conditions.

[0061] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment of the application, the support adjustment component 200 includes: a first support member 201 and a second support member 202 spaced apart along the left and right direction of the electric scooter (x-axis shown in the figure).

[0062] The first rotating shaft includes a first left rotating shaft and a first right rotating shaft, and the second rotating shaft includes a second left rotating shaft and a second right rotating shaft; one end of the first support member 201 along the vertical direction (the z-axis shown in the figure) is rotatably connected to the base 100 through the first left rotating shaft, and the other end of the first support member 201 along the vertical direction is rotatably connected to the seat body 300 through the second left rotating shaft.

[0063] The base 100 includes a base plate 103, which is fixedly mounted to the footrest of the electric scooter by screws. The bottom surface of the base plate 103 is in contact with the footrest, and the top surface of the base plate 103 is provided with a first mounting member 101 and a second mounting member 102. The first mounting member 101 and the second mounting member 102 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the electric scooter (x-axis shown in the figure). One end of the first support member 201 is located between the first mounting member 101 and the second mounting member 102, and is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 101 and the second mounting member 102 through a first left-hand pivot.

[0064] Similarly, one end of the second support member 202 along the vertical direction (z-axis shown in the figure) is rotatably connected to the base 100 via the first right-hand pivot, and the other end of the second support member 202 along the vertical direction is rotatably connected to the seat body 300 via the second right-hand pivot.

[0065] In other words, the base 100, the seat body 300, the first support 201 and the second support 202 form a stable four-bar linkage mechanism to ensure that the seat remains balanced during adjustment.

[0066] In this embodiment, the locking component 400 is operably disposed at one end or the other end of the first support member 201, and an adjustment portion is provided at one end or the other end of the first support member 201; or, the locking component 400 is operably disposed at one end or the other end of the second support member 202, and an adjustment portion is provided at one end or the other end of the second support member 202.

[0067] In other words, the locking component 400 is used to lock any two adjacent links in the four-bar linkage, so that the two adjacent links are relatively fixed. The four-bar linkage will become a triangular truss structure, thus maintaining a fixed shape. The truss can withstand larger and more directional loads without the need for additional supports or fixed frames, or complex drives and controls. It uses the locking of the links of the four-bar linkage itself to maintain the shape, simplifying the overall structure.

[0068] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the application, the first support member 201 includes a main support member 2011 and a secondary support member 2012. The first left-turning axis includes a first main left-turning axis and a first secondary left-turning axis that are parallel to each other. The second left-turning axis includes a second main left-turning axis and a second secondary left-turning axis that are parallel to each other. The first main left-turning axis and the first secondary left-turning axis are spaced apart along the forward direction of the electric scooter (the y-axis shown in the figure), and the second main left-turning axis and the second secondary left-turning axis are spaced apart along the forward direction of the electric scooter (the y-axis shown in the figure).

[0069] The first mounting member 101 and the second mounting member 102 of the base 100 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the electric scooter (x-axis shown in the figure). The second mounting member 102 is close to the center of the base 100, and the first mounting member 101 is close to the edge of the base 100. The second mounting member 102 is provided with a first mounting hole 1021 and a second mounting hole 1022, and the first mounting member 101 is provided with a third mounting hole 1011. The hole axes of the second mounting hole 1022 and the third mounting hole 1011 coincide.

[0070] The main support member 2011 has a fourth mounting hole 20111 at one end along the vertical direction (z-axis shown in the figure). The axes of the fourth mounting hole 20111, the second mounting hole 1022, and the third mounting hole 1011 coincide. The first main left-hand rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the fourth mounting hole 20111, the second mounting hole 1022, and the third mounting hole 1011, so that one end of the main support member 2011 is rotatably connected to the base 100 through the first main left-hand rotating shaft.

[0071] The other end of the main support member 2011 along the vertical direction (z-axis shown in the figure) has a fifth mounting hole 20112, and the seat body 300 is provided with a sixth mounting hole 30321. The axis of the sixth mounting hole 30321 and the fifth mounting hole 20112 coincide. The second main left-hand rotating shaft is rotatably connected to both the sixth mounting hole 30321 and the fifth mounting hole 20112, so that the other end of the main support member 2011 along the vertical direction is rotatably connected to the seat body 300 through the second main left-hand rotating shaft.

[0072] The auxiliary support member 2012 has a seventh mounting hole 20121 at one end along the vertical direction (z-axis shown in the figure). The seventh mounting hole 20121 coincides with the hole axis of the first mounting hole 1021. The first auxiliary left-hand rotating shaft and the seventh mounting hole 20121 are rotatably connected to the first mounting hole 1021, so that one end of the auxiliary support member 2012 along the vertical direction (z-axis shown in the figure) is rotatably connected to the base 100 through the first auxiliary left-hand rotating shaft.

[0073] The other end of the secondary support member 2012 in the vertical direction has an eighth mounting hole 20122, and the seat body 300 is provided with a ninth mounting hole 30322. The axis of the ninth mounting hole 30322 coincides with that of the eighth mounting hole 20122. The second auxiliary left-hand rotating shaft and the ninth mounting hole 30322 are rotatably connected to the eighth mounting hole 20122, so that the other end of the secondary support member 2012 in the vertical direction is rotatably connected to the seat body 300 through the second auxiliary left-hand rotating shaft.

[0074] Designing the first support member 201 as a combination of two rods—a main support member 2011 and a secondary support member 2012—significantly enhances its bending and torsional resistance, forming a highly efficient "composite section." This dramatically increases the critical buckling load of the first support member 201, preventing it from suddenly buckling and becoming unstable under pressure. Simultaneously, the two rods support each other, providing the first support member 201 with stiffness and structural redundancy far exceeding that of a single rod.

[0075] In this embodiment of the application, along the forward direction of the electric scooter (y-axis shown in the figure), the width of the main support member 2011 is greater than the width of the secondary support member 2012, and the projection of the secondary support member 2012 on the left-right direction of the electric scooter (x-axis shown in the figure) is located within the projection of the main support member 2011 on the left-right direction of the electric scooter.

[0076] A differentiated design with one wide and one narrow section is adopted to achieve lightweighting of the first support component 201 while ensuring performance. The main support component 2011 serves as the main force, providing the main bending stiffness and stable connection interface with its larger cross section. The secondary support component 2012 plays an auxiliary role, providing lateral support to the main support component 2011 to prevent it from becoming unstable in the weak direction, and together with the main support component 2011, they form an internal stable structure. The two work together to maximize the overall stiffness and stability of the first support component 201 with minimal material and weight costs.

[0077] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment of the application, the first plane formed by the central axis of the first main left turn shaft and the central axis of the first auxiliary left turn shaft is inclined to the foot pedal surface, and the second plane formed by the central axis of the second main left turn shaft and the central axis of the second auxiliary left turn shaft is inclined to the foot pedal surface; the first plane and the second plane are parallel.

[0078] In other words, the hinge points of the main support member 2011 and the secondary support member 2012 are not on the same plane and the line connecting them is inclined. The main support member 2011 and the secondary support member 2012 form a twisted stable triangular region in space, which changes the first support member 201 from passive load-bearing to active disturbance resistance. The inclined and staggered hinge points divide the long span of the first support member 201 into multiple short spans, thereby increasing its bending resistance several times and greatly enhancing the overall stiffness and stability.

[0079] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6In one embodiment of this application, the locking assembly 400 includes: a driving member 401 and a locking plunger 402; the adjusting part includes a first adjusting hole 20113 disposed on the first support member 201, a second adjusting hole 30323 disposed on the seat body 300, and an adjusting flange 30324 surrounding the edge of the second adjusting hole 30323; the driving member 401 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the adjusting flange 30324, and when the driving member 401 rotates axially about the adjusting flange 30324, the driving member 401 simultaneously generates an axial displacement relative to the adjusting flange 30324; the locking... The root of the locking plunger 402 is fixedly connected to the drive member 401, and the head of the locking plunger 402 extends out of the drive member 401; when the drive member 401 rotates at a first angle in the first direction, the drive member 401 approaches the support adjustment assembly 200 to drive the head of the locking plunger 402 to engage with the second adjustment hole 30323 and the first adjustment hole 20113; when the drive member 401 rotates at a second angle in the second direction, the drive member 401 moves away from the support adjustment assembly 200 to drive the head of the locking plunger 402 to separate from the second adjustment hole 30323 and the first adjustment hole 20113.

[0080] The locking plunger 402 is driven by a rotating connection of threaded pairs, allowing the locking plunger 402 to move closer to or further away from the support adjustment assembly 200. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0081] The locking component 400 restricts the freedom of the support adjustment component 200 to a specific angle, preventing the seat from shifting due to vibration during the scooter's movement. Users only need to rotate the locking component 400 to adjust the seat angle, which takes a short time.

[0082] In another embodiment of this application, the locking assembly 400 includes: a drive member 401, a locking plunger 402, an elastic member 403, and a sleeve 404.

[0083] The adjustment part includes a first adjustment hole 20113 disposed on the first support member 201 and a second adjustment hole 30323 disposed on the seat body 300; a sleeve 404 is fixedly connected to the edge of the second adjustment hole 30323, a locking plunger 402 and an elastic member 403 are disposed inside the sleeve 404, a driving member 401 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sleeve 404, and the two ends of the elastic member 403 along its elastic extension direction are respectively fixedly connected to the locking plunger 402 and the driving member 401; when an external force drives the driving member 401, the driving member 401 is displaced axially relative to the sleeve 404 and moves away from the first support member 201, the elastic member 403 elastically extends and drives the locking plunger 402 to separate from the second adjustment hole 30323 and the first adjustment hole 20113; when the external force is released, the elastic member 403 elastically recovers and drives the locking plunger 402 to engage with the second adjustment hole 30323 and the first adjustment hole 20113.

[0084] The operation method of the above-mentioned locking component 400 is as follows:

[0085] Initial locked state: In the natural state without external intervention, the locking plunger 402 remains in a protruding state under the elastic force provided by the built-in elastic element 403, and is embedded in the second adjustment hole 30323 and the first adjustment hole 20113 to achieve locking.

[0086] Unlocking operation: When it is necessary to unlock, pull the drive member 401 outward, so that the drive member 401 moves in the opposite direction to the elastic force, driving the locking plunger 402 to overcome the elastic force and retract the locking plunger 402, thereby disengaging it from the second adjustment hole 30323 and the first adjustment hole 20113, thus achieving unlocking.

[0087] Reset and relock: When the pulling force on the drive member 401 is removed, the locking plunger 402 will automatically return to its initial protruding state under the reset drive of the elastic member 403, and the locking plunger 402 will then be inserted to complete the locking.

[0088] The aforementioned locking component 400 can be a knob plunger indexing pin or a spring pull pin, which has a simple structure and is easy to implement.

[0089] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In this embodiment of the application, the seat also includes a seat frame 303; the seat frame 303 includes an annular connector 3031 with an opening 30311 and a connecting plate 3032 fixedly connected to the annular connector 3031. The connecting plate 3032 may include two, and the two connecting plates 3032 are spaced apart along the left and right direction of the electric scooter (x-axis shown in the figure).

[0090] The connecting plate 3032 is rotatably connected to the second end of the support adjustment assembly 200, wherein the two connecting plates 3032 are rotatably connected to the first support member 201 and the second support member 202 respectively.
