Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of handlebar technology, and in particular to a folding handlebar for a personal mobility vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] As an excellent short-distance travel tool, the mobility scooter has become an important choice for urban commuting, campus shuttles, and daily short-distance travel due to its flexibility and lightness. Therefore, such mobility scooters are often designed with a folding mechanism to reduce storage space. The folding of the handlebars is crucial in the folding mechanism. Existing technologies often use relatively complex structures to enable the handlebars to fold quickly, which not only increases the manufacturing cost and maintenance time of the handlebars, but also makes them more prone to damage after long-term use. On the other hand, some structures that only use locking devices to prevent the handlebars from folding have poor stability and pose a risk of the handlebars coming out of the lock under vehicle vibration. Therefore, how to solve the above problems is the purpose of this application.
[0003] The above content is only used to help understand the technical solution of this application and does not represent an admission that the above content is the closest prior art to this application. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those of ordinary skill in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1-5 As shown, this application provides a folding handlebar 1 for a personal mobility vehicle, mainly comprising: a handlebar 1 for controlling direction; an extension rod 2, one end of which is fixedly connected to the handlebar 1; a folding component 3, with a semi-circular connecting part 31 at the top, and one end of the extension rod 2 rotatably mounted on the folding component 3; a clamp 4, with a fastening bolt 32 on the connecting part 31, the clamp 4 being fixed to the connecting part 31 by the fastening bolt 32, and cooperating with the connecting part 31 to form a ring, so that the extension rod 2 is fixed inside the ring; and a steering structure 5, disposed at the bottom of the folding component 3 and connected thereto, for connecting to the steering system of the personal mobility vehicle.
[0021] Specifically, one end of the extension rod 2 is connected to the handlebar 1, and the other end rotates to the folding component 3. The part of the folding component 3 that is rotatably connected to the extension rod 2 has a groove. The groove can rotate 90°. When the extension rod 2 rotates to fit with the semi-circular connecting part 31, the clamp 4 can be installed on the connecting part 31 by fastening the bolt 32. Under the restriction of the clamp 4, the extension rod 2 cannot rotate, achieving the effect of limiting the position. When it is necessary to fold the extension rod 2, the clamp 4 can be removed by using a tool or by directly unscrewing the fastening bolt 32. Then the extension rod 2 can be rotated and folded. If you are worried about losing the removed clamp 4, you can reinstall the clamp 4 on the connecting part 31. At the same time, it can also prevent the extension rod 2 from unfolding.
[0022] The following will continue to describe some preferred / improved embodiments based on the above embodiments. Any one of the following embodiments can be selected, or multiple embodiments can be combined.
[0023] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the fastening bolt 32 has a retaining ring groove 321 for installing a retaining ring 322. The retaining ring groove 321 is located at the end of the fastening bolt 32 that passes through the folding component 3. The retaining ring 322 is used to restrict the fastening bolt 32 so that the fastening bolt 32 will not fall off the folding component 3 due to a little external force when it loses connection with the clamp 4.
[0024] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the folding component 3 has a bolt groove 33 to cooperate with the fastening bolt 32. The bolt groove 33 is a through hole, and the part of the fastening bolt 32 that cooperates with the bolt groove 33 is a smooth section. This arrangement allows the fastening bolt 32 to rotate freely in the bolt groove 33, while the retaining spring 322 is engaged on the outside of the bolt groove 33.
[0025] Specifically, the folding component 3 is provided with a rotating shaft 34, and the extension rod 2 is rotatably mounted on the folding component 3 via the rotating shaft 34. The rotating shaft 34 can be composed of bolts and nuts and fixed to be connected to the extension rod 2.
[0026] Preferably, the bottom of the extension rod 2 is provided with a connecting rod 21. The diameter of the connecting rod 21 is smaller than that of the extension rod 2. The connecting rod 21 can be locked by the connecting part 31 and the clamp 4. The smaller diameter of the extension rod 2 can make the outer diameter of the connecting part 31 and the clamp 4 after locking approach the diameter of the extension rod 2, making the transition between the folding part 3 and the extension rod 2 smoother and more aesthetically pleasing.
[0027] Preferably, the bottom of the folding component 3 is provided with a limiting structure for cooperating with the connecting tube 61 of the frame 6 to limit the rotation angle of the handlebar 1. In the prior art, the limiting structure can be provided with a fan-shaped groove 35 at the bottom of the folding component 3, the connecting tube 61 of the frame 6 can be provided at the bottom of the folding component 3, and a limiting block that cooperates with the fan-shaped groove 35 can be provided on the connecting tube 61. The limiting block can only rotate within the fan-shaped groove 35.

Those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein based on the above description.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of this application. The foregoing embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit it. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
