[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2019-181988 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Conventional stand-up vehicles are designed to accommodate a driver and multiple passengers at the same time, and therefore have a driver's step and passenger's step.

[0006] As a result, the vehicle body has become larger both front and rear, but since the driver rides at the rear end of the stand-up type vehicle, the driver's center of gravity is biased toward the rear when the driver rides alone in a stand-up type vehicle.

[0007] For this reason, it is desirable to prevent the center of gravity from shifting rearward when a driver is riding alone in a stand-up type vehicle so that the driver can stably drive the stand-up type vehicle.

[0008] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned problems, and has as its object to provide a stand-up type vehicle that prevents the driver's center of gravity from shifting rearward, thereby enabling stable driving. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention is a stand-up type vehicle in which a driver rides in an upright position, and is characterized in that it has a base portion that rotatably supports the wheels and on which the driver places his / her feet, and a rear wall that protrudes upward from the rear end portion of the base portion, and the front portion of the rear wall extends diagonally upward and to the front from the rear end portion of the base portion. Effect of the Invention

[0010] As described above, according to the present invention, the driver's center of gravity is prevented from shifting rearward, enabling the driver to drive stably. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] A stand-up type vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention is a stand-up type vehicle in which a driver rides in an upright position, and has a base portion that rotatably supports the wheels and on which the driver places his / her feet, and a rear wall that protrudes upward from the rear end portion of the base portion, and the front portion of the rear wall extends diagonally upward and to the front from the rear end portion of the base portion.

[0013] As a result, the stand-up type vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention can prevent the driver's center of gravity from shifting rearward, allowing for stable driving. EXAMPLES

[0014] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, an embodiment of a stand-up type vehicle according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. 1 to 5 are diagrams showing a stand-up type vehicle according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0015] In Figures 1 to 5, the direction of movement of the standing vehicle is defined as the front-rear direction, with the rear wall side as the rear and the side opposite the rear wall as the front. The direction perpendicular to the direction of movement of the standing vehicle in the horizontal plane is defined as the left-right direction, with the left side as viewed from the rear wall defined as the left and the right side as the right. The height direction of the standing vehicle is defined as the up-down direction, with the pedestal side defined as the down side and the top of the pedestal defined as the up side.

[0016] First, the configuration will be described. 1 and 2, a stand-up vehicle 1 can be used in amusement parks, theme parks, leisure spots, and other commercial facilities, and includes a base 2 and a rear wall 3.

[0017] The base 2 extends in the front-rear direction, and a single driver 51 can ride in a standing position with his / her feet on the base 2 (see FIG. 4). A pair of left and right front wheels 4 and a pair of left and right rear wheels 5 are rotatably supported on the base 2. The front wheels 4 and rear wheels 5 in this embodiment constitute wheels. As shown in FIG. 4, the stand-on vehicle 1 runs on a ground 50.

[0018] The rear wall 3 protrudes upward from the rear end of the base 2, and as shown in Fig. 3, a front portion 3a of the rear wall 3 extends obliquely upward and forward from the rear end of the base 2. That is, the stand-on vehicle 1 of this embodiment is formed in an L-shape when viewed from the right direction in Figs. 3 and 4.

[0019] A driver 51 gets on to the standing type vehicle 1 by positioning himself / herself forward with respect to the rear wall 3 and placing his / her feet on the base portion 2.

[0020] A rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 extends from the rear end of the base portion 2 in parallel with the front portion 3a, and then extends obliquely upward to the rear via a bent portion 3c.

[0021] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the rear wall 3 has a seat 3A on which the driver 51 sits. The seat 3A curves obliquely upward and rearward from an upper end 3d of the front part 3a of the rear wall 3, and the front end of the seat 3A (i.e., the upper end 3d of the front part 3a of the rear wall 3) is located at a position lower than the rear end 3h of the seat 3A. This allows the driver 51 to sit on the seat 3A from the front side.

[0022] A seat portion 3A is provided at the upper portion of the rear wall 3, which curves diagonally upward and rearward from the upper end portion 3d of the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3, so that the thickness in the fore-and-aft direction between the front portion 3a and the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 becomes thicker as it goes upward.

[0023] An upper portion of the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3 constitutes a back panel 3B used as a backrest, and the back panel 3B extends upward from a rear end portion 3h of the seat portion 3A.

[0024] 1, the rear wall 3 has a right side wall 3C and a left side wall 3D. The right side wall 3C extends upward from the right end of the seat portion 3A, and its rear end is connected to the back panel 3B and extends forward from the back panel 3B.

[0025] The left side wall 3D extends upward from the left end of the seat portion 3A, has a rear end connected to the back panel 3B, and extends forward from the back panel 3B.

[0026] The seat 3A is disposed between the right side wall 3C and the left side wall 3D in the left-right direction, and the space above the seat 3A is surrounded by the back panel 3B, the right side wall 3C, and the left side wall 3D. The front portion 3e of the right side wall 3C and the front portion 3f of the left side wall 3D extend parallel to the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3.

[0027] As shown by phantom lines in FIG. 3, a pair of left and right in-wheel motors 6 are provided on the base 2, and the in-wheel motors 6 are arranged coaxially with the left and right front wheels 4 and supported by the base 2.

[0028] A battery (not shown) for supplying power to the left and right in-wheel motors 6, a controller, and a communication unit are provided on the base 2. An operation signal output from an operation remote control 7 (described later) is input to the communication unit.

[0029] The controller controls the left and right in-wheel motors 6 individually based on an operation signal input to the communication unit, and drives the left and right front wheels 4 individually.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 4, a mounting portion 3g for mounting an operation remote control 7 is provided on the front portion 3a of the rear wall 3, and the operation remote control 7 can be freely attached and detached to the mounting portion 3g from the front by the driver 51.

[0031] 5, the operation remote control 7 is provided with a power switch 7A and an operation button 7B. The operation remote control 7 is operated by being held by the driver 51. When the driver 51 turns on the power switch 7A, the stand-up type vehicle 1 becomes operable.

[0032] The operation button 7B drives the in-haul motor 6 to drive the stand-on vehicle 1 forward, changes the rotation speed of the stand-on vehicle 1, rotates the left and right in-haul motors 6 differentially to make the stand-on vehicle 1 turn left or right, or stops the left and right in-haul motors 6 to stop the stand-on vehicle 1.

[0033] A headlight 8 is provided at the front end of the base 2. The headlight 8 automatically turns on and off depending on the surrounding brightness.

[0034] Next, the effects of the stand-on vehicle 1 of this embodiment will be described. The stand-up type vehicle 1 of this embodiment has a base 2 that rotatably supports front wheels 4 and rear wheels 5 and on which a driver 51 places his / her feet, and a rear wall 3 that protrudes upward from the rear end of the base 2, and a front portion 3a of the rear wall 3 extends diagonally upward from the rear end of the base 2 to the front.

[0035] This allows the position where the driver 51 sits to be moved toward the center in the front-rear direction from the rear end of the base 2 (see FIG. 4). This prevents the center of gravity of the driver 51 from shifting backward, allowing for stable driving.

[0036] According to the stand-up type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the rear wall 3 has a seat 3A on which the driver 51 sits, and the seat 3A is curved obliquely upward and rearward from an upper end 3d of the front part 3a of the rear wall 3.

[0037] This allows the driver 51 to ride while seated on the seat portion 3A, so that the posture of the driver 51 can be stabilized and driving of the stand-up type vehicle 1 can be stabilized more effectively.

[0038] In addition, since the seat 3A is curved obliquely upward and rearward from the upper end 3d of the front part 3a of the rear wall 3, the driver 51 can sit on the seat 3A regardless of height or physique. Specifically, a short driver 51 can sit on the front side of the seat 3A, and a tall driver 51 can sit on the entire seat 3A including the rear side of the seat 3A.

[0039] In addition, the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 extends from the rear end of the base 2 in parallel with the front portion 3a, and then extends obliquely upward toward the rear side via the bent portion 3c, so that the seat portion 3A can be formed at the center portion in the front-rear direction of the base 2. Therefore, when the driver 51 sits on the seat portion 3A, the center of gravity can be more effectively prevented from shifting backward, and the driving of the standing type vehicle 1 can be more effectively stabilized.

[0040] In addition, the rear portion 3b of the rear wall 3 extends from the rear end of the base 2 in parallel with the front portion 3a, and then extends obliquely upward toward the rear side via the bent portion 3c, so that the seat portion 3A can be brought closer to the bent portion 3c having high rigidity, and the rear wall 3 can be prevented from bending. This makes it possible to more effectively stabilize the operation of the standing type vehicle 1.

[0041] According to the standing type vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the rear wall 3 has a back panel 3B used as a backrest, and the back panel 3B extends upward from the rear end 3h of the seat 3A. This allows the driver 51 to lean against the back panel 3B, stabilizing the driver's posture and reducing fatigue during driving.

[0042] In addition, by covering the rear of the standing vehicle 1 with the back panel 3B, the driver 51 can be protected from behind.

[0043] In addition, according to the standing vehicle 1 of this embodiment, the rear wall 3 has a right side wall 3C extending upward from the right end of the seat 3A and a left side wall 3D extending upward from the left end of the seat 3A, and the seat 3A is disposed between the right side wall 3C and the left side wall 3D in the left-right direction.

[0044] As a result, the driver 51 can be protected from both the left and right sides by the right side wall 3C and the left side wall 3D. In addition, by leaning against the right side wall 3C or the left side wall 3D while driving, the driver 51 can stabilize his / her posture and reduce fatigue while driving.

[0045] Although an embodiment of the invention has been disclosed, it will be apparent to one skilled in the art that modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications and equivalents are intended to be encompassed by the following claims.
