Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to personal transportation technology, and more particularly to a handlebar and a personal transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Personal mobility devices (PMDs) offer great convenience for short-distance travel, and these devices are typically small and compact. For example, foldable handlebars reduce the overall width of the device. In related technologies, the folding mechanism of the handlebars causes a slight wobble during use. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a handlebar and a personal transportation tool that can eliminate the gap between the grip assembly and the main body of the handlebar, thereby reducing the sway of the grip assembly relative to the main body.

[0004] The technical solution of this application is implemented as follows: On one hand, this application provides a handlebar, which includes: a main body, a grip assembly, a stop assembly, and an adjusting member; wherein, the main body is used to connect with the steering mechanism of a personal transportation tool, and the main body includes a connecting portion; the grip assembly is rotatably connected to the main body, and the grip assembly has an adjusting portion; the stop assembly is movably disposed on the grip assembly, and the stop assembly has a stop portion that matches the connecting portion, and the stop assembly moves relative to the grip assembly to connect the stop portion with the connecting portion, so as to limit the rotation of the grip assembly relative to the main body; the adjusting member is movably disposed on the main body, and the position of the adjusting member relative to the main body is adjusted so that the cooperation mode between the adjusting member and the adjusting portion changes from clearance fit to interference fit, so as to limit the wobbling of the grip assembly relative to the main body.

[0005] The handlebar provided in this application allows the main body to connect to the steering mechanism of a personal transportation vehicle, facilitating its mounting on the steering mechanism. The grip assembly is rotatably mounted on the main body, allowing the handlebar's shape to be changed by rotating it relative to the main body to different positions, thus enabling folding and storage. Furthermore, a connecting part is provided on the main body, a stop component is movably mounted on the grip assembly, and a stop component matching the connecting part is provided on the driving component. By moving the stop component relative to the grip assembly, the stop component can connect or separate from the connecting part. This allows the stop component to restrict the rotation of the grip assembly relative to the main body, or to release the restriction on rotation, thereby keeping the grip assembly in a folded or unfolded state relative to the main body. Meanwhile, an adjustment member corresponding to the adjustment part on the grip assembly is movably provided on the main body. By adjusting the position of the adjustment member on the main body, the distance between the adjustment member and the adjustment part can be changed. Thus, when the adjustment part and the adjustment member are connected, the adjustment member can push the grip assembly to move relative to the main body, thereby eliminating the gap between the grip assembly and the main body. This can limit the swaying of the grip assembly relative to the main body and improve the stability of the handlebars.

[0006] In some possible implementations of this application, the stop component includes a sleeve that is slidably fitted onto one end of the grip assembly near the main body, and the end of the sleeve near the main body is the stop portion; one of the connecting portion and the stop portion includes a sleeve post, and the other of the connecting portion and the stop portion includes a sleeve ring that matches the sleeve post; when the grip assembly rotates to a straight position relative to the main body, the sleeve slides on the grip assembly toward the main body, and the sleeve post is inserted into the sleeve ring.

[0007] In some possible implementations of this application, the stop assembly further includes a reset member disposed between the sleeve and the grip assembly, the reset member being used to apply a force toward the body to the sleeve.

[0008] In some possible implementations of this application, the handlebar also includes a locking member movably disposed on the main body. The locking member has a locking portion, and the sleeve has a limiting portion that matches the locking portion. The locking portion cooperates with the limiting portion to restrict the sleeve from sliding away from the main body on the grip assembly.

[0009] In some possible implementations of this application, the handlebar also includes an elastic element disposed between the locking member and the main body. The elastic element is used to apply a retaining force to the locking member. Under the action of the retaining force, the locking member tends to move the locking part closer to the limiting part, or keeps the locking part connected to the limiting part.

[0010] In some possible implementations of this application, one of the sleeve and the grip assembly is provided with a first limiting structure, and the other of the sleeve and the grip assembly is provided with a second limiting structure that matches the first limiting structure; during the process of the sleeve sliding towards the main body relative to the grip assembly, the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure cooperate to make the limiting part correspond to the locking part.

[0011] In some possible implementations of this application, the portion of the main body corresponding to the grip assembly has an avoidance notch, the grip assembly has a threading channel corresponding to the avoidance notch, and the avoidance notch and the threading channel are connected.

[0012] In some possible implementations of this application, the adjusting element is a screw, which is threadedly connected to the main body and is movable in a direction parallel or nearly parallel to the axis of the grip assembly when the main body is in a straight position.

[0013] In some possible implementations of this application, the adjusting part includes an arcuate surface that extends continuously about the rotation axis of the grip assembly relative to the main body. The distance between the first end of the arcuate surface and the rotation axis and / or the distance between the second end of the arcuate surface and the rotation axis is greater than the distance between the portion between the first end and the second end and the rotation axis. The first end is the end where the adjusting member abuts against the arcuate surface when the grip assembly is in a straight position relative to the main body. The second end is the end of the adjusting member corresponding to the arcuate surface when the grip assembly is in a bent position relative to the main body.

[0014] In some possible implementations of this application, the grip assembly also has a positioning part disposed at the second end of the arcuate surface, which is used to limit the position of the adjustment member relative to the second end of the arcuate surface.

[0015] In some possible implementations of this application, the handlebar includes a pivot, which is rotatably connected to the main body; the grip assembly includes an adjustment member and a grip member, one end of the grip member is fixed to the pivot, the adjustment member is fixed to the circumferential surface of the pivot, and an arcuate surface is provided on the circumferential surface of the adjustment member facing the grip member.

[0016] In some possible implementations of this application, the adjusting element and the rotating shaft form a cam, and the arcuate surface is the surface of the cam.

[0017] On the other hand, this application provides a personal transportation tool, which includes: a frame, a running mechanism, a pole, and a handlebar provided by any of the above; wherein, the running mechanism is disposed on the frame and is movable; the pole is connected to the steering component in the running mechanism; and the main body of the handlebar is fixedly connected to the pole.

[0018] The personal mobility tool provided in this application, by including the handlebars provided by any of the above, can eliminate the gap between the handlebar assembly and the main body, thereby limiting the swaying of the handlebar assembly relative to the main body and improving the stability of the handlebar.

[0028] Electric scooters, electric bicycles, and bicycles are widely used personal transportation devices. Some of these devices feature foldable handlebars to reduce the overall size of the vehicle. However, in some of these technologies, foldable handlebars can wobble during use, affecting the user experience and safety.

[0029] This application provides a bicycle handlebar that is easy to fold and eliminates the gap between the grip assembly and the main body, thereby reducing the wobbling of the grip assembly relative to the main body. (See reference...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the handlebar structure provided in this application. Figure 1 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the handlebar structure provided in this application. Figure 2 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the handlebar structure provided in this application. Figure 3 , Figure 4 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the handlebars provided in this application. Figure 1 , Figure 5 This application provides Figure 4 An enlarged structural diagram of part A is shown below. The handlebars provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in conjunction with examples in the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The handlebar provided in this embodiment includes: a main body 1, a grip assembly 2, a stop assembly 3, and an adjuster 4; wherein, the main body 1 is used to connect with the steering mechanism of the personal transportation tool, and the main body 1 includes a connecting part 11; the grip assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the main body 1, and the grip assembly 2 has an adjusting part 21; the stop assembly 3 is movably disposed on the grip assembly 2, and the stop assembly 3 has a stop part 31 that matches the connecting part 11. The stop assembly 3 moves relative to the grip assembly 2 to connect the stop part 31 with the connecting part 11, so as to restrict the rotation of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1; the adjuster 4 is movably disposed on the main body 1, and the position of the adjuster 4 relative to the main body 1 is adjusted. The adjuster 4 cooperates with the adjusting part 21 to restrict the swaying of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1.

[0031] In some embodiments, the main body 1 may provide a mounting base for other components in the handlebars, and may be provided with a structure on the main body 1 that can be connected and installed with the steering mechanism of the vehicle. For example, a structure that matches the stem in the steering mechanism may be provided on the main body 1 so that the handlebars and stem can be fixedly installed through the main body 1.

[0032] For example, the main body 1 can be configured as an approximately "T-shaped" structure, with a set of grip components 2 rotatably mounted at both ends of the portion of the main body 1 that lies on the same straight line, and mounting holes for fixed connection with a pole or the like provided on another part of the main body 1. The main body 1 can be formed by welding two cylindrical parts, by machining, or by casting.

[0033] In some embodiments, the grip assembly 2 is used for gripping by a rider to control the mobility device through control and operation of the grip assembly 2. For example, at least a portion of the grip assembly 2 can be configured in a shape that facilitates gripping. One end of the grip assembly 2 can be rotatably connected to the body 1, such as by a pin. A set of grip assemblies 2 can be rotatably arranged at opposite ends of the body 1, with the connection method between the two sets of grip assemblies 2 and the body 1, and the structure of the portion of each set of grip assemblies 2 connected to the body 1 being identical, such as configuring the portion of each set of grip assemblies 2 connected to the body 1 as a mirror-symmetrical structure.

[0034] In some embodiments, a stop component 3 may be provided on the grip assembly 2 to limit the rotation of the grip assembly 2 relative to the body 1. For example, a connecting portion 11 may be provided at the part where the body 1 and the grip assembly 2 are connected, and correspondingly, a stop portion 31 matching the connecting portion 11 may be provided on the stop component 3.

[0035] For example, the stop component 3 can be slidably disposed on the grip component 2. By sliding the stop component 3 on the grip component 2, the stop portion 31 can be connected to or separated from the connecting portion 11. Alternatively, the stop component 3 can be rotatably disposed on the grip component 2. By rotating the stop component 3 on the grip component 2, the stop portion 31 can be connected to or separated from the connecting portion 11, thereby restricting the rotation of the grip component 2 relative to the body 1, or releasing the restriction on the rotation of the grip component 2 relative to the body 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, an adjustment member 4 may be provided on the main body 1, and correspondingly, an adjustment part 21 corresponding to the adjustment member 4 may be provided on the grip assembly 2, so as to eliminate the gap between the grip assembly 2 and the main body 1 through the cooperation of the adjustment member 4 and the adjustment part 21.

[0037] For example, the adjusting member 4 can be mounted on the main body 1 by rotation, sliding, or other means, and the adjusting part 21 on the grip assembly 2 can be configured as a plane that can abut, a slot that can snap in, or a socket that can be inserted. In this way, by adjusting the position of the adjusting member 4 on the main body 1, the distance between the adjusting member 4 and the adjusting part 21 can be changed. When the adjusting part 21 is connected to the adjusting member 4, the grip assembly 2 can be pushed to move relative to the main body 1, thereby eliminating the gap between the grip assembly 2 and the main body 1.

[0038] The handlebar provided in this embodiment can be connected to the steering mechanism of a personal transportation vehicle via the main body 1, facilitating the mounting of the handlebar onto the steering mechanism. The grip assembly 2 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1, allowing the handlebar shape to be changed by rotating it to different positions relative to the main body 1, thus enabling folding and storage of the handlebar. Furthermore, a connecting portion 11 is provided on the main body 1, a stop assembly 3 is movably mounted on the grip assembly 2, and a stop portion 31 matching the connecting portion 11 is provided on the active assembly. By moving the stop assembly 3 relative to the grip assembly 2, the stop portion 31 can be connected to or separated from the connecting portion 11. This allows the stop assembly 3 to restrict the rotation of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1, or to release the restriction on the rotation of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1, thereby keeping the grip assembly 2 in a folded or unfolded state relative to the main body 1. Meanwhile, an adjusting member 4 corresponding to the adjusting part 21 on the grip assembly 2 is movably provided on the main body 1. By adjusting the position of the adjusting member 4 on the main body 1, the distance between the adjusting member 4 and the adjusting part 21 can be changed. Thus, when the adjusting part 21 and the adjusting member 4 are connected, the adjusting member 4 can push the grip assembly 2 to move relative to the main body 1, thereby eliminating the gap between the grip assembly 2 and the main body 1. This can limit the swaying of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1 and improve the stability of the handlebar.

[0039] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 6 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the handlebars provided in this application. Figure 2 , Figure 7 This is a structural schematic diagram of the handlebar adapter 23 provided in this application. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the handlebar sleeve 32 provided in this application. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the stop assembly 3 includes a sleeve 32, which is slidably sleeved on the end of the grip assembly 2 near the main body 1. The end of the sleeve 32 near the main body 1 is a stop part 31. One of the connecting part 11 and the stop part 31 includes a sleeve post, and the other of the connecting part 11 and the stop part 31 includes a sleeve ring that matches the sleeve post. When the grip assembly 2 rotates to a straight position relative to the main body 1, the sleeve 32 slides on the grip assembly 2 toward the main body 1, and the sleeve post is inserted into the sleeve ring.

[0040] In some embodiments, the grip assembly 2 can be configured to include an adapter 23 and a grip 24, with the grip 24 for the rider to hold, and the grip 24 rotatably connected to the main body 1 via the adapter 23. For example, the grip 24 can be cylindrical, and one end of the adapter 23 can be cylindrical to match the grip 24. One end of the grip 24 can be inserted into the adapter 23, and the grip 24 and the adapter 23 can be fixedly connected by means of bonding, welding, etc. A shaft hole can be provided at the other end of the adapter 23, and a shaft hole can also be provided on the main body 1. A pin or the like can be used to rotatably connect the adapter 23 and the main body 1 through the shaft holes on the adapter 23 and the main body 1.

[0041] For example, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the end of the adapter 23 connected to the main body 1 can be made into a hollow cylindrical shape to allow cables to be threaded through the adapter 23 and the grip 24. A sleeve 32 matching the adapter 23 can be provided in the stop assembly 3 to restrict the rotation of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1. For example, if the end of the adapter 23 connected to the main body 1 is made into a hollow cylindrical shape, the sleeve 32 can be made into a hollow cylindrical shape that matches the end of the adapter 23 connected to the main body 1, thereby sliding the sleeve 32 onto the end of the adapter 23 connected to the main body 1.

[0042] In another example, a portion of the sleeve 32 near the end of the main body 1 can be used as a stop 31. The stop 31 and the connecting portion 11 can be configured to be sleeved together, meaning the stop 31 can be inserted into the connecting portion 11, or the connecting portion 11 can be inserted into the stop 31. For example, the stop 31 can be a cylindrical sleeve post, and the connecting portion 11 can be a cylindrical sleeve ring that matches the sleeve post; or, the connecting portion 11 can be a cylindrical sleeve post, and the stop 31 can be a cylindrical sleeve ring that matches the sleeve post. If the sleeve post is provided on the main body 1 and is configured as a cylindrical shape with a notch, the adapter 23 can be inserted into the sleeve post and rotatably connected to the main body 1, and the adapter 23 can rotate relative to the main body 1 through the notch on the sleeve post. The sleeve ring can be configured as an annular shape that matches the sleeve post, meaning one end of the sleeve 32 can be configured as an annular shape. Thus, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the handlebars need to be folded, the sleeve 32 can be slid away from the body 1 to separate the connecting ring and the connecting post, allowing the handlebar assembly 2 to be rotated relative to the body 1 as shown. Figure 3The handlebars are folded as shown. When it is necessary to unfold the handlebars, rotate the handlebar assembly 2 relative to the main body 1 until the handlebar assembly 2 and the main body 1 are in a straight line. Then slide the sleeve 32 towards the main body 1 so that the sleeve ring and the sleeve post engage. This will restrict the handlebar assembly 2 relative to the main body 1 in the following position. Figure 1 The unfolded state shown.

[0043] The handlebar provided in this embodiment includes a sleeve 32 in the stop assembly 3, which is slidably mounted on the handlebar main body. The end of the sleeve 32 closest to the main body 1 serves as the stop part 31. This allows the stop part 31 to be connected to or separated from the connecting part 11 by sliding the sleeve 32, simplifying the locking or unlocking operation steps for the handlebar assembly 2 rotating relative to the main body 1. Furthermore, by configuring the stop part 31 and the connecting part 11 as a matching socket post and socket ring, the sleeve 32 can be connected to the main body 1 by inserting the socket post into the socket ring. This simplifies the structure of the stop part 31 and the connecting part 11, thereby simplifying the handlebar structure.

[0044] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the stop assembly 3 also includes a reset member 33, which is disposed between the sleeve 32 and the grip assembly 2. The reset member 33 is used to apply a force toward the body 1 to the sleeve 32.

[0045] In some embodiments, a reset member 33 may be provided on the sleeve 32 to apply a force to the sleeve 32 that is always directed toward the body 1. For example, the reset member 33 may be a compression spring. The end of the adapter 23 connected to the body 1 may be configured to match the compression spring. For example, if the circumferential surface of the adapter 23 is configured as a stepped shaft, the compression spring can be fitted onto the smaller outer diameter portion of the adapter 23, and one end of the compression spring abuts against the step on the circumferential surface of the adapter 23. An abutment protrusion 322 may be provided inside the sleeve 32. For example, if the abutment protrusion 322 is configured as a convex annular structure extending radially inside the sleeve 32, the end of the compression spring near the body 1 can abut against the abutment protrusion 322. Thus, as Figure 2 As shown, after the grip assembly 2 is rotated relative to the main body 1 to a straight line, the sleeve 32 can automatically slide relative to the grip assembly 2 towards the main body 1 under the force of the reset member 33, thereby connecting the stop part 31 and the connecting part 11. Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, after the grip assembly 2 is rotated relative to the main body 1 to a folded state, the force applied by the reset member 33 to the sleeve makes the sleeve 32 tightly abut against the main body 1, thereby restricting the free swing of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1.

[0046] The handlebar provided in this embodiment has a reset member 33 on the sleeve 32. The reset member 33 can always apply a force toward the main body 1 to the sleeve 32. When the handlebar assembly 2 is in the unfolded state, the sleeve 32 and the main body 1 can be stably connected through the stop part 31 and the connecting part 11, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the handlebar. When the handlebar assembly 2 is in the folded state, the sleeve 32 can abut against the main body 1 to achieve positioning of the handlebar assembly 2, thereby restricting the free swing of the handlebar assembly 2 relative to the main body 1, which is beneficial to keeping the handlebar assembly 2 stationary relative to the main body 1.

[0047] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the handlebar also includes a locking member 5, which is movably disposed on the main body 1. The locking member 5 has a locking part, and the sleeve 32 has a limiting part 321 that matches the locking part. The locking part and the limiting part 321 cooperate to restrict the sleeve 32 from sliding away from the main body 1 on the grip assembly 2.

[0048] In some embodiments, a locking member 5 may be provided on the sleeve 32 to restrict the movement of the sleeve 32 away from the main body 1. For example, the locking member 5 may be provided on the main body 1, and the locking member 5 may be movably disposed on the main body 1 near the connecting portion 11 in a sliding, rotating or other manner.

[0049] For example, a locking part can be provided on the locking member 5, and correspondingly, a limiting part 321 can be provided on the sleeve 32. For instance, the locking part can be a protruding buckle, and the limiting part 321 can be a recessed groove on the sleeve 32 that matches the buckle; or, the locking part can be a recessed groove, and the limiting part 321 can be a protruding buckle on the sleeve 32 that matches the groove. If the locking member 5 is set as a flat plate and rotatably mounted on the main body 1, the buckle can be engaged into the groove by rotating the locking member 5, thereby restricting the sleeve 32 from sliding away from the main body 1.

[0050] The handlebar provided in this embodiment has a locking member 5 movably disposed on the main body 1, and matching locking parts and limiting parts 321 are respectively provided on the locking member 5 and the sleeve 32. By controlling the movement of the locking member 5 relative to the main body 1, the locking part and the limiting part 321 can be connected or separated, thereby restricting the movement of the sleeve 32 away from the main body 1. This reduces the risk that the sleeve 32 will separate from the main body 1 and cause the handlebar assembly 2 to rotate relative to the main body 1 when subjected to unnecessary forces (such as collision, scratch, or non-rider touch), which is beneficial to further improving the stability and reliability of the handlebar in the unfolded state.

[0051] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the handlebar also includes an elastic element 6, which is disposed between the locking member 5 and the main body 1. The elastic element 6 is used to apply a retaining force to the locking member 5. Under the action of the retaining force, the locking member 5 has a tendency to move the locking part closer to the limiting part 321, or to keep the locking part connected to the limiting part 321.

[0052] In some embodiments, an elastic element 6 may be provided on the locking member 5, and the retaining force applied by the elastic element 6 to the locking member 5 prevents the locking member 5 from moving freely relative to the body 1. For example, when the locking member 5 is rotatably mounted on the body 1, the elastic element 6 may be a torsion spring, with one part of the torsion spring connected to the body 1 and the other part connected to the locking member 5; or, the elastic element 6 may also be a compression spring, which may be disposed between the body 1 and the end of the locking member 5 away from the locking portion 51, so that a stable torque is applied to the locking member 5 by the torsion spring or compression spring, thereby causing the locking portion to tend to move toward the limiting portion 321.

[0053] The handlebar provided in this embodiment has an elastic element 6 on the locking member 5. The elastic element 6 can apply a holding force to the locking member 5 so that the locking part on the locking member 5 and the limiting part 321 on the sleeve 32 can maintain a stable connection. This can reduce the occurrence of the locking member 5 separating from the sleeve 32 due to vibration of the handlebar, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the handlebar in the unfolded state.

[0054] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one of the sleeve 32 and the grip assembly 2 is provided with a first limiting structure 323, and the other of the sleeve 32 and the grip assembly 2 is provided with a second limiting structure 231 that matches the first limiting structure 323. During the process of the sleeve 32 sliding towards the main body 1 relative to the grip assembly 2, the first limiting structure 323 and the second limiting structure 231 cooperate to make the limiting part 321 correspond to the locking part.

[0055] In some embodiments, when both the sleeve 32 and the adapter 23 in the grip assembly 2 are cylindrical, the sleeve 32 can not only slide on the adapter 23, but also rotate on the adapter 23. Matching first limiting structures 323 and second limiting structures 231 can be provided on the sleeve 32 and the adapter 23 respectively to restrict the rotation of the sleeve 32 relative to the adapter 23.

[0056] For example, the first limiting structure 323 can be configured as a groove extending along the axial direction Z of the grip assembly 2, and the second limiting structure 231 can be configured as a slider extending along the axial direction Z of the grip assembly 2. For instance, a slider can be provided on the circumferential surface of the adapter 23, and a groove can be provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 32; or, a groove can be provided on the circumferential surface of the adapter 23, and a slider can be provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 32. The cooperation of the groove and the slider allows the sleeve 32 to slide only along the axial direction Z of the grip assembly 2 on the adapter 23.

[0057] In another example, the portion of the adapter 23 that fits onto the sleeve 32 can be configured as a polygonal column, and an inner polygonal through hole matching the polygonal column can be provided inside the sleeve 32. If the adapter 23 is configured as a hollow column with a square cross-section, and a square through hole is provided inside the sleeve 32, the rotation of the sleeve 32 relative to the grip assembly 2 can be restricted by the square hollow column.

[0058] The handlebar provided in this embodiment has a first limiting structure 323 and a second limiting structure 231 respectively provided on the sleeve 32 and the grip assembly 2. The sleeve 32 can be restricted from rotating relative to the grip assembly 2 by the cooperation of the first limiting structure 323 and the second limiting structure 231. As the sleeve 32 slides towards the main body 1, the limiting part 321 and the locking part can be aligned, so that the limiting part 321 and the locking part can be accurately connected.

[0059] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the part of the main body 1 corresponding to the grip assembly 2 has an avoidance notch 12, and the grip assembly 2 has a threading channel corresponding to the avoidance notch 12. The avoidance notch 12 is connected to the threading channel.

[0060] In some embodiments, switches for controlling the vehicle can be installed on the handlebars. For example, switches for controlling power supply, speed, and lights can be installed on the handlebars. Since these switches need to be electrically connected to the controlled object via wires, the wires can be run inside the handlebars to conceal them.

[0061] For example, the main body 1 can be made into a hollow structure, and the grip assembly 2 can also be made into a hollow structure. That is, a through hole is provided inside the main body 1, and the adapter 23 and the grip 24 are both made into hollow cylindrical shapes, thus forming a wire-passing channel inside both the grip assembly 2 and the main body 1. An avoidance notch 12 can be provided at the connection between the main body 1 and the grip assembly 2, such as an avoidance notch 12 on the main body 1 in the area opposite to the locking member 5. Thus, as... Figure 6As shown, when the grip assembly 2 is rotated to a folded state relative to the main body 1, the sleeve 32 abuts against the edge of the clearance notch 12 on the main body 1, and the wire-threading channel inside the main body 1 and the wire-threading channel inside the grip assembly 2 are connected through the clearance notch 12. Figure 5 As shown, when the grip assembly 2 is rotated to the unfolded state relative to the main body 1, the sleeve 32 abuts against the edge of the clearance notch 12 on the main body 1. There is a pivot 7 and an adjusting member 22 between the wire channel in the main body 1 and the wire channel in the grip assembly 2. The wire located in the main body 1 can extend into the grip assembly 2 by passing through the clearance notch 12, bypassing the pivot 7 and the adjusting member 22.

[0062] The handlebar provided in this application embodiment has a clearance notch 12 in the part of the main body 1 corresponding to the grip assembly 2, which allows the cavity in the main body 1 to communicate with the wire passage in the grip assembly 2 through the clearance notch 12. During the rotation of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1, the wire can extend through the clearance notch 12 in the main body 1 and in the wire passage, thereby facilitating the installation of the wire in the handlebar and allowing the wire to be stored inside the handlebar.

[0063] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment part 21 includes an arc-shaped surface that extends continuously around the rotation axis of the grip assembly 2 relative to the main body 1. The distance between the first end 211 of the arc-shaped surface and the rotation axis is greater than the distance between the second end 212 of the arc-shaped surface and the rotation axis. The first end 211 is the end of the adjustment member 4 that abuts against the arc-shaped surface when the grip assembly 2 is in a straight position relative to the main body 1. The second end 212 is the end of the adjustment member 4 that corresponds to the arc-shaped surface when the grip assembly 2 is in a bent position relative to the main body 1.

[0064] In some embodiments, the adjusting part 21 can be configured as an arcuate surface corresponding to the adjusting member 4. During the rotation of the arcuate surface relative to the adjusting member 4, the distance between the different parts of the arcuate surface facing the adjusting member 4 and the adjusting member 4 varies. For example, the adjusting member 4 can be a screw, and a threaded hole matching the screw can be provided on the main body 1. The direction of movement of the adjusting member 4 relative to the main body 1 can be parallel or nearly parallel to the axial direction Z of the grip assembly 2 when it is in a straight position relative to the main body 1.

[0065] For example, the curved surface can be configured as a surface that continuously extends from the rotation axis of the grip assembly 2 about the body 1, and the distances between the two ends of the curved surface and the rotation axis are not the same. The distance between the first end 211 of the curved surface and the adjusting member 4 can be set to be smaller than the distance between the second end 212 of the curved surface and the adjusting member 4. That is, as... Figure 5As shown, when the grip assembly 2 rotates relative to the main body 1 to the straight position of the unfolded state, the adjusting member 4 and the first end 211 of the arc-shaped surface are interference-fitted; as Figure 6 As shown, when the grip assembly 2 is rotated relative to the main body 1 to the folded position, the adjusting member 4 can have a gap with the second end 212 of the arc-shaped surface without contacting it, or the adjusting member 4 can be in exact contact with the arc-shaped surface. For example, the distance between the second end 212 of the arc-shaped surface and the axis of rotation can be made to continuously increase the distance between the first end 211 and the axis of rotation, or the distance between the second end 212 and the axis of rotation and the distance between the first end 211 and the axis of rotation can both be greater than the distance between the portion of the arc-shaped surface between the second end 212 and the first end 211 and the axis of rotation.

[0066] The handlebar provided in this embodiment includes an arc-shaped surface in the adjustment part 21. The distance between the first end 211 of the arc-shaped surface and the rotation axis is greater than the distance between the second end 212 of the arc-shaped surface and the rotation axis. When the handlebar assembly 2 rotates relative to the main body 1 to a straight position, the adjustment member 4 can abut against the first end 211 and apply a force along the axial direction Z of the handlebar assembly 2 to the first end 211. This can push the handlebar assembly 2 toward the main body 1, thereby eliminating the gap between the handlebar assembly 2 and the main body 1, and thus reducing or even eliminating the wobbling of the handlebar assembly 2 relative to the main body 1.

[0067] In some possible embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the grip assembly 2 also has a positioning part 221, which is disposed at the second end 212 of the arcuate surface. The positioning part 221 is used to limit the position of the adjustment member 4 relative to the second end 212 of the arcuate surface.

[0068] In some embodiments, a positioning portion 221 for positioning the adjusting member 4 can be provided on the grip assembly 2 to determine the initial position of the adjusting member 4 relative to the grip assembly 2. For example, the positioning portion 221 can be provided at the second end 212 of the arcuate surface, or the positioning portion 221 can be set as a plane that matches the adjusting member 4. Thus, as Figure 6 As shown, during the assembly of the handlebars, the handlebar assembly 2 can be rotated relative to the main body 1 to a folded state, and then the adjusting member 4 can be installed inside the main body 1 from one end of the connecting part 11 of the main body 1. The assembly position of the adjusting member 4 can be determined by tightening the screw that serves as the adjusting member 4 until it abuts against the positioning part 221.

[0069] For example, as the handlebars are used for longer periods, the interference fit between the adjusting member 4 and the first end 211 of the curved surface may become a transition fit or even a clearance fit. In this case, the adjusting member 4 can be adjusted towards the curved surface so that the interference fit between the adjusting member 4 and the first end 211 of the curved surface is formed again.

[0070] The handlebar provided in this embodiment has a positioning part 221 in the grip assembly 2, which can be used to pre-position the adjusting member 4 during initial installation, making it easier to determine the initial installation position of the adjusting member 4 on the main body 1.

[0071] In some possible embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the handlebar pivot 7 provided in this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment member 22 in the handlebar provided in this application. The handlebar includes a pivot 7, which is rotatably connected to the main body 1; the grip assembly 2 includes the adjustment member 22 and the grip member 24, one end of the grip member 24 is fixed to the pivot 7, the adjustment member 22 is fixed to the circumferential surface of the pivot 7, and the arc-shaped curved surface is provided on the circumferential surface of the adjustment member 22 facing the grip member 24.

[0072] In some embodiments, a pivot 7 can be provided in the handlebars to rotatably connect the grip assembly 2 to the main body 1. For example, a first shaft hole matching the pivot 7 can be provided on the adapter 23, and a second shaft hole matching the pivot 7 can be provided on the main body 1. The pivot 7 can pass through the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole. For example, the pivot 7 can be interference-fitted with the first shaft hole to fix the pivot 7 to the grip assembly 2, while the pivot 7 can be clearance-fitted with the second shaft hole to rotatably connect the grip assembly 2 to the main body 1 via the pivot 7.

[0073] For example, the grip assembly 2 can be configured to include an adjustment member 22, an adapter 23, and a grip member 24. The grip member 24 is used for the rider to hold, and is rotatably connected to the main body 1 via the adapter 23. For example, a first shaft hole can be provided at one end of the adapter 23, and the rotating shaft 7 can be fixedly connected to the adapter 23. The grip member 24 can also be fixedly connected to the adapter 23 by means of bonding, welding, or other methods.

[0074] In another example, the adjusting member 22 can be set as an approximately "U-shaped" structure, that is, a receiving groove 222 matching the rotating shaft 7 is provided on the adjusting member 22. The adjusting member 22 can be set on the rotating shaft 7 radially through the receiving groove 222, and the adjusting member 22 can be fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7 by welding, bonding, screw fixing or other methods, so that the adjusting member 22 is fixedly held on the axial surface of the rotating shaft 7.

[0075] In another example, the circumferential surface of the adjusting member 22 facing the adjusting member 4 can be set as an arcuate surface to form the adjusting part 21 of the grip assembly 2. In this way, as the adjusting member 22 and the rotating shaft 7 rotate relative to the main body 1 with the grip member 24, the adjusting member 22 and the rotating shaft 7 form a cam-like structure. The arcuate surface on the adjusting member 22 serves as the surface of the cam. After the adjusting member 4 abuts against the first end 211 of the arcuate surface and forms an interference fit, the gap between the grip assembly 2 and the main body 1 can be reduced or even eliminated.

[0076] The handlebar provided in this embodiment includes a pivot 7, which facilitates the rotatable connection between the handlebar assembly 2 and the main body 1 via the pivot 7. Furthermore, the handlebar assembly 2 is configured to include an adjustment member 22 and a grip member 24, which facilitates the processing of the adjustment part 21, the grip member 24, the adapter member 23, etc., and helps to reduce the processing difficulty of the handlebar assembly 2.

[0077] In addition, this application embodiment also provides a personal transportation tool, which includes: a vehicle body, a walking mechanism, a pole, and a handlebar provided in any of the above embodiments; wherein, the walking mechanism is disposed on the vehicle body and is movable; the pole is connected to the steering component in the walking mechanism; and the main body 1 of the handlebar is fixedly connected to the pole.

[0078] In some embodiments, the personal transportation vehicle can be an electric scooter, an electric bicycle, a bicycle, etc., and the specific type of personal transportation vehicle is not limited in this application embodiment. The frame can be the main body 1 structure of the personal transportation vehicle. For example, the frame can be the bicycle frame or the pedal part of an electric scooter. The running mechanism can be the wheels of a bicycle or the drive and driven wheels of an electric scooter. One of the tires can be mounted on the frame via a steering mechanism. The pole can be a long, columnar pole. One end of the pole can be fixed to the steering mechanism, and the main body 1 of the handlebars can be fixed to the other end of the pole to mount the handlebars on the personal transportation vehicle. In this way, the steering mechanism of the personal transportation vehicle can be controlled via the handlebars, thereby controlling the direction of travel of the personal transportation vehicle.

[0079] The personal transportation tool provided in this application includes the handlebar provided in any of the above embodiments. Therefore, the gap between the handlebar assembly 2 and the main body 1 can be eliminated, thereby limiting the swaying of the handlebar assembly 2 relative to the main body 1 and improving the stability of the handlebar.

[0080] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and scope of this application are included within the scope of protection of this application.
