They are suitable for children aged 2-5 as a means of transportation, exercise, and entertainment, allowing them to better enjoy sports.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN202321309768.8 describes a balance scooter transmission device, including a seat and a fixed post. The fixed post is fixedly installed below the seat, and the scooter body is located below the seat. The scooter body is slidably connected to the fixed post. A front end is rotatably installed at one end of the scooter body, and a first connecting member is fixedly connected to the lower part of the front end. A first inner wheel is fixedly connected to the surface of the first connecting member, and a first outer wheel is movably connected to the surface of the first inner wheel via ball bearings. A second connecting member is located at the other end of the scooter body, and a second inner wheel is fixedly connected to the surface of the second connecting member. A second outer wheel is movably connected to the outer side of the second inner wheel via ball bearings. This patented product provides a hubless scooter, giving it a unique aesthetic appeal. However, this product also has some shortcomings: the wheels lack lights. Adding lights to the hubless wheels would make the product more attractive, thus encouraging children to enjoy the activity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hubless luminous wheel and its gliding vehicle.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A light-emitting wheel includes a wheel body, which is fixedly mounted on an inner ring; it also includes a left fixed bracket and a right fixed bracket, which are fixed to each other to form a support ring, and the support ring has a hollow center.

[0007] The position where the left and right fixed brackets overlap each other forms an inner cavity, in which several rollers or bearings are fixed and abut against the inner ring surface.

[0008] The inner cavity is provided with a light mounting bracket, and the light strip is attached to the surface of the light mounting bracket. The inner cavity surface of the light strip and the support ring has a scattering gap. When the light is lit, the scattering gap is illuminated, which then illuminates the support ring. Alternatively, the inner cavity is provided with a light mounting bracket, and the light strip is attached to the light mounting bracket. The light strip and the inner ring have a scattering gap. When the light is lit, the scattering gap is illuminated, which then illuminates the inner ring and the wheel body.

[0009] Furthermore, rollers or bearings are provided on both sides of the inner ring surface; an annular rib is provided in the middle of the inner ring, and rollers or bearings are respectively provided on both sides of the annular rib.

[0010] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed on the support ring, and rollers or bearings are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft; the rotating shaft also passes through the light mounting bracket, and the rotating shaft supports the light mounting bracket in the inner cavity; both the left and right fixed brackets are provided with skirts; the left and right fixed brackets are fixed, and the two skirts abut against each other to form the inner cavity.

[0011] Furthermore, the light mounting bracket abuts against the inner surfaces of the left and right fixed brackets on both sides, and the light mounting bracket supports the support ring; in addition, the light mounting bracket is provided with clearance notches at the roller or bearing positions.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner sides of the left and right fixed brackets are provided with grooves or holes, and the light mounting bracket is inserted into the grooves or holes.

[0013] Furthermore, the left and right fixed brackets are integrally formed with annular ribs, which serve as the light mounting bracket; the left and right fixed brackets are fixed together, and the two annular ribs abut against each other to support the support ring.

[0014] Furthermore, a toy is fixedly mounted on the skirt edge, with the toy located in the hollowed-out position in the middle of the support ring.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1-12 As shown:

[0037] A luminous wheel includes a wheel body 1, which is fixedly mounted on an inner ring 11. It includes a left-side fixed bracket 21 and a right-side fixed bracket 22, which are fixed together to form a support ring. The center of the support ring is hollowed out to form a hollowed-out position 19, creating a hub-less effect. The overlapping position of the left-side fixed bracket 21 and the right-side fixed bracket 22 forms an inner cavity, in which several rollers or bearings 4 are fixed, resting against the surface of the inner ring 11. Preferably, rollers or bearings 4 are provided on both sides of the inner ring surface. An annular rib 111 is provided in the center of the inner ring, with rollers or bearings 4 respectively positioned on both sides of the annular rib 111. The presence of rollers or bearings on both sides makes the product structure more stable, and the presence of at least four rollers or bearings 4 around the perimeter of the inner ring provides further support and stability.

[0038] A light mounting bracket 5 is provided in the inner cavity, and the light strip 3 is attached to the surface of the light mounting bracket 5. A scattering gap exists between the light strip 3 and the inner surface of the support ring. When the light illuminates the scattering gap, it illuminates the support ring. Alternatively, a light mounting bracket is provided in the inner cavity, and the light strip is attached to the light mounting bracket. A scattering gap exists between the light strip and the inner ring. When the light illuminates the scattering gap, it illuminates the inner ring and the wheel. Both methods are acceptable, and the manufacturer can choose one for production. Illuminating either the support ring or the wheel can achieve the effect of dazzling lighting. The core innovation of this application lies in: by setting a light mounting bracket, the light from the LED beads 30 on the light strip is diffused through the scattering gap before illuminating the support ring or the wheel. This makes the lighting more continuous and aesthetically pleasing, reducing any grainy appearance.

[0039] A rotating shaft 41 is fixedly mounted on the support ring, and rollers or bearings 4 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 41. The rotating shaft 41 also passes through the light mounting bracket 5. The rotating shaft 41 is supported by the rotating shaft mounting holes 222 of the left and right fixed brackets and the through hole in the middle of the light mounting bracket. The rotating shaft 41 is highly stable and not easily twisted. Moreover, the light mounting base in the middle divides the rollers or bearings on both sides into corresponding positions, allowing the rollers or bearings to be placed in the clearance notch 51. The rotating shaft 41 supports the light mounting bracket 5 in the inner cavity, thereby creating a stable scattering gap between the light strip attached to the light mounting bracket and the support ring, through which the light of the LED beads is diffused.

[0040] Both the left fixed bracket and the right fixed bracket 22 are provided with skirts 211; the left fixed bracket and the right fixed bracket are fixed, and the two skirts 211 abut against each other to form the inner cavity.

[0041] A toy 8 is fixedly mounted on the skirt 211, and the toy is located in the hollowed-out position 19 in the middle of the support ring. The toy can be locked onto the support ring with screws, or a corresponding notch can be provided at the connection position of the left and right fixed brackets. When the left and right fixed brackets are locked together, the notch will engage the toy with the support ring. There are various ways to fix the toy, and the manufacturer can choose the fixing method at its own discretion.

[0042] Elevating blocks 20 are fixedly installed on the outer sides of the left fixed bracket 21 and the right fixed bracket 22. The furthest distance between the two elevating blocks 20 is greater than the width of the wheel body 1. The wire 31 of the light strip passes through the wire hole of the elevating block 20. The purpose of setting the elevating blocks is to widen the support ring to facilitate the connection and fixation of the front fork 91 and rear fork 92 of the frame; and also to facilitate the output of the wire 31.

[0043] The left fixed bracket 21 and the right fixed bracket 22 are covered with light-shielding sheets 23. The light-shielding sheets have a hollow design 231, and the light illuminates the hollow design.

[0044] Example 1: The light mounting bracket is an independent component. The light mounting bracket 5 rests against the inner surfaces of the left fixed bracket 21 and the right fixed bracket 22 on both sides, and the light mounting bracket 5 supports the support ring.

[0045] The inner sides of the left and right fixed brackets are provided with grooves 221 or holes, and the light mounting bracket is inserted into the grooves 221 or holes. This positioning structure facilitates assembly by workers; the light mounting bracket is inserted into the grooves of the left and right fixed brackets and then locked.

[0046] Example 2: The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 lies in the structure of the light mounting bracket. The left and right fixed brackets are integrally formed with annular ribs 24, which are the light mounting brackets; the left and right fixed brackets are fixed together, and the two annular ribs 24 abut against each other to support the support ring.

[0047] A scooter includes the aforementioned luminous wheel and frame 9. The frame should have handlebars, not shown in the accompanying drawings. The luminous wheel is rotatably mounted on the front fork 91 and the rear fork 92. A battery and controller are housed within the frame. The light strip 31 inside the luminous wheel has wires that enter the frame from the front or rear fork and connect to the controller. The battery powers the controller and the light strip. This application inevitably involves control circuitry. Controlling light emission via a controller is a simple technique in this field and is not the focus of this application; therefore, this part is not specifically described. The manufacturer informs the outsourcing manufacturer of the requirements, and the outsourcing circuit manufacturer will assemble the control circuit, light strip, battery, and other components into a complete product and send it to us for assembly. The bottom of the frame in the accompanying drawings has a controller mounting position 93, which is used to house the battery and control circuitry. Wires enter the frame from the front and rear forks.

[0048] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
