[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth numerous specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar modifications without departing from the scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms, "connection", and "installation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connection" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. In addition, "communication" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Here, "fixed" means that the two are connected to each other and the relative position relationship after connection remains unchanged. The directional terms mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention, such as "inside", "outside", "top", "bottom", etc., are only reference to the directions of the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present invention, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present invention, "and / or" is simply a description of the association relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0037] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present invention. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in other embodiments" appearing at various points in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more but not all embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "comprises," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof all mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The present invention is therefore not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 to 10, the present invention provides a passenger pedal, characterized in that it includes: a pedal body 11 and a folding body 10, wherein the bottom of the pedal body 11 is movably connected to at least one pedal wheel 111, the pedal body 11 is foldably provided with a steering rod 12 for controlling the steering of the pedal wheel 111, and both ends of the pedal body 11 are provided with a body connecting portion 13; the folding body 10 is foldable, one end of the folding body 10 is provided with a fixed wheel 101, and the other end is provided with a steering wheel 102, the body connecting portion 13 is rotatably connected to the fixed wheel 101, and the pedal body 11 can rotate vertically relative to the fixed wheel 101;

[0039] Specifically, the folding bicycle body 10 is a frame-shaped bicycle body that can be folded to reduce the overall size and area. The folding method can be a folding type or a gathering type. These two folding methods are both common existing structures, so they are not described here. In this embodiment, the folding bicycle body 10 needs to have a steering wheel 102 at one end, preferably a universal wheel, which is free to steer, and the other end needs to be a fixed wheel 101, that is, its direction is fixed; at the bottom of the pedal body 11, at least one pedal wheel 111 is movably installed, and the pedal wheel 111 can be rotated vertically and horizontally relative to the pedal body 11. Vertical rotation can make the pedal wheel 111 stick to the bottom of the pedal body 11, in a folded shape, and horizontal rotation is convenient for changing the driving direction of the pedal body 11. A steering rod 12 is also connected to the pedal body 11. The steering rod 12 is foldable and used to shorten the overall length of the steering rod 12 for easy storage. The steering rod 12 is connected to the pedal wheel 111 to control the steering of the pedal wheel 111 The pedal body 11 is connected to the wheel axle of the fixed wheel 101 so that the pedal body 11 can be lifted or lowered around the wheel axle of the fixed wheel 101 when the pedal body 11 is in a vertical direction. When the pedal body 11 is in a bumpy road or uphill, the pedal body 11 can be lifted or lowered around the wheel axle of the fixed wheel 101 to prevent the fixed wheel 101 from leaving the ground. At the same time, the connection between the body connection part 13 and the wheel axle of the fixed wheel 101 can lower the center of gravity of the pedal assembly so that when the foldable bicycle 10 is in an uphill or speed bump situation, the foldable bicycle 10 will not be overturned due to the weight of the person standing on the pedal assembly. The body connection part 13 can also be connected to the wheel fork of the fixed wheel 101. The position close to the wheel axle can ensure the same effect. If the position is too high, it will easily lead to the above-mentioned overturning.

[0040] It should be noted that the wheel fork of the fixed wheel 101 can use a slanted fork structure, which can move the fixed wheel outward so that the tail of the folding body 10 is between the steering wheel 102 and the fixed wheel 101, further reducing the risk of the above-mentioned rollover.

[0041] Furthermore, the pedal wheels 111 are provided with two, each of which is connected to a pedal fork 112. The top of the pedal fork 112 is rotatably connected to a first connecting member 113. The pedal fork 112 can vertically rotate relative to the first connecting member 113. The top of the first connecting member 113 is rotatably connected to the pedal body 11. The first connecting member 113 can horizontally rotate relative to the pedal body 11. The side of the first connecting member 113 is further connected to a wheel swing arm 114. A direction transmission rod 115 is further connected between the two wheel swing arms 114.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, there are preferably two pedal wheels 111, which help to improve the stability of the pedal body 11 when in use, wherein each pedal wheel 111 is connected to a pedal fork 112, and a first connecting member 113 is rotatably connected to the top of the pedal fork 112. The pedal fork 112 can drive the pedal wheel 111 to rotate vertically relative to the first connecting member 113. When not in use, the pedal wheel 111 can be folded flat, wherein the pedal wheel 111 can rotate by an angle of 90°, and the top of the first connecting member 113 is rotatably connected to the pedal body 11. The first connecting member 113 can rotate horizontally relative to the pedal body 11, which is convenient for adjusting the direction of the pedal wheel 111. A horizontally extending wheel swing arm 114 is also provided on the first connecting member 113; a direction transmission rod 115 is connected between the wheel swing arms 114 of the two pedal wheels 111 for synchronously controlling the steering of the two pedal wheels 111.

[0043] Furthermore, a hook 116 is rotatably provided on one side of the first connecting member 113. The hooking portion of the hook 116 is spaced apart from the side wall of the first connecting member 113. A compression spring 118 is provided between the hook 116 and the first connecting member 113. A hook hole 117 adapted to the hook 116 is provided on the pedal fork 112. When the pedal fork 112 is perpendicular to the pedal body 11, the hook 116 and the hook hole 117 are snap-fitted.

[0044] Specifically, since the pedal wheel 111 can rotate vertically relative to the first connecting member 113, in order to avoid affecting normal use, a hook 116 is rotatably connected to one side of the first connecting member 113. The hook 116 is spaced apart from the first connecting member 113, and a compression spring 118 is provided between the hook 116 and the first connecting member 113. The compression spring 118 is used to force the hook 116 to always move away from the first connecting member 113. At the same time, a hook hole 117 adapted to the hook 116 is provided on the top surface of the pedal fork 112. When the pedal wheel 111 is rotated, the hook 116 is rotated to the left of the first connecting member 113. When in the vertical state, the hook 116 is located in the hook hole 117 and engages with the hook hole 117 to fix the pedal wheel 111 and limit its vertical rotation relative to the first connecting member 113 to ensure normal use. When the pedal wheel 111 needs to be folded, it is only necessary to press the hook 116 to squeeze the compression spring 118. The end of the hook 116 is disengaged from the hook hole 117, and the pedal wheel 111 can be rotated. When the hook 116 loses external force, it will reset itself under the restoring force of the compression spring 118 to facilitate the next engagement.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, an adapter 121 is rotatably provided at the bottom of the direction rod 12, and the adapter 121 passes through the pedal body 11. The direction rod 12 can be vertically rotated relative to the adapter 121, and the adapter 121 can be horizontally rotated on the pedal body 11. The bottom of the adapter 121 is connected to a transmission gear 20, and the middle part of the direction transmission rod 115 is rotatably connected to a direction swing arm 122. The end of the direction swing arm 122 away from the direction transmission rod 115 is connected to a driven gear 21. The driven gear 21 is also rotatably connected to the pedal body 11 via a rotating shaft, and the transmission gear 20 is transmission-connected to the driven gear 21.

[0046] Specifically, the adapter 121 is provided on one side of the pedal body 11, and the adapter 121 can rotate horizontally relative to the pedal body 11. The bottom of the adapter 121 is located below the pedal body 11 and is connected to the transmission gear 20. A direction swing arm 122 is rotatably connected to the middle of the direction transmission rod 115, and a driven gear 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the direction swing arm 122 away from the direction transmission rod 115, wherein the driven gear 21 is also rotatably connected to the pedal body 11 through a rotating shaft, and the driven gear 21 can rotate in place relative to the pedal body 11. , which can prevent the driven gear 21 from being displaced, and the transmission gear 20 is connected to the driven gear 21. When the direction rod 12 rotates horizontally on the pedal body 11 through the adapter 121, it drives the transmission gear 20 to rotate synchronously, and the transmission gear 20 synchronously drives the driven gear 121 to rotate, driving the direction swing arm 122 connected thereto to rotate. Since the direction swing arm 122 is rotationally connected to the direction transmission rod 115, the direction swing arm 122 can push the direction transmission rod 115 to move left and right, thereby driving the two pedal wheels 111 to turn.

[0047] It should be noted that the direction transmission rod 115 can also be divided into two, one end of the two direction transmission rods 115 is stacked, and the two direction transmission rods 115 can rotate relative to each other, so as to avoid the steering being obstructed due to the slanted direction transmission rod 115 when the steering angles of the two wheels are inconsistent; and when the direction transmission rod 155 is divided into two, the steering of the pedal wheel 111 can adopt the Ackerman steering principle to reduce the friction loss of the pedal wheel 111.

[0048] Furthermore, since the transmission gear 20 is directly connected to the driven gear 21, the direction of the pedal wheel 111 will be consistent with the direction of the steering rod 12. That is, if the steering rod 12 turns left, the pedal wheel 111 will turn left. In this case, the folding body 10 turns right, which is contrary to the steering habit of traditional vehicles and may pose a safety hazard. To avoid this situation, a counter gear 22 is provided between the transmission gear 20 and the driven gear 21. The counter gear 22 is engaged with the transmission gear 20, and the counter gear 22 is also rotatably connected to the pedal body 11 through a rotating shaft. To ensure that the rotation angle of the steering rod 12 is equal to the rotation angle of the pedal wheel 111, the gear ratio of the counter gear 22 to the transmission gear 20 is 1:1. The counter gear 22 and the driven gear 21 are connected together by a belt or chain, so that when the steering rod 12 turns left, the pedal wheel 11 turns right, pushing the folding body 10 to turn left with the directional wheel as the rotation center.

[0049] It should be pointed out that the transmission connection between the steering rod 12 and the pedal wheel 111 can also be in the form of a transmission shaft, that is, the transmission gear 20 is changed to a bevel gear, and the driven gear 21 is also changed to a bevel gear. A transmission rod with bevel gears at both ends is set between the two bevel gears to connect the two together. The characteristic of the bevel gear that can change the transmission direction is utilized to connect the steering rod 12 and the pedal wheel 11 together.

[0050] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of the direction rod 12 away from the adapter 121 is rotatably connected to a telescopic rod 124, and the telescopic rod 124 can be vertically rotated relative to the direction rod 12. A handle is provided on the top of the telescopic rod 124, and a plurality of control buttons 125 are provided on the handle. The handle is also provided with a brake handle 126, and the brake handle 126 is connected to the pedal wheel 111;

[0051] Specifically, the top of the direction rod 12 is also rotatably connected to a telescopic rod 124, which can be extended to adjust the height to suit people of different heights. The telescopic rod 124 can also be rotated vertically relative to the direction rod 12, so that when in use, the overall length of the direction rod 12 can be further shortened, making its length close to the width of the pedal body 11, thereby facilitating storage and carrying. A handle is also provided at the top of the telescopic rod 124, and a plurality of control buttons 125 are provided on the handle. The functions of the plurality of control buttons 125 include but are not limited to: horn, light, forward / reverse mode switching, speed gear, etc. Such functions are all common existing technologies, so they will not be described in detail here. An electric switch cylinder can also be provided on the handle for controlling the speed change after power is connected. At the same time, a brake handle 126 is also provided on the handle. The brake handle 126 is connected to the pedal wheel 111. The pedal wheel 111 needs to have a mechanical brake such as a disc brake or a drum brake for braking; an electric brake can also be used.

[0052] Furthermore, a limiting sleeve 129 is sleeved on the direction rod 12, and the limiting sleeve 129 is used to limit the rotation of the direction rod 12 relative to the adapter 121;

[0053] Specifically, since the direction rod 12 and the adapter 121 are rotationally connected, in order to avoid affecting the normal use of the direction rod 12, a limiting sleeve 129 is also provided on the direction rod 12. By placing the limiting sleeve 129 at the connection between the direction rod 12 and the adapter 121, the direction rod 12 is restricted from rotating relative to the adapter 121, ensuring that the direction rod 12 will not rotate vertically during normal use.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the pedal body 11 and / or the folding body 10 is provided with a controller 127 and a power supply 128, the power supply 128 is connected to the controller 127, and the pedal wheels 111 and / or the fixed wheels 101 are respectively connected to the controller 127;

[0055] Specifically, in order to improve the convenience of use, the pedal body 11 and the folding body 10 can choose to install the controller 127 and the power supply 128, or both of them can have the controller 127 and the power supply 128. When only the folding body 10 has the controller 127 and the power supply 128, the handle is connected to the controller 127 through a wire, and the control function of the controller 127 is intervened, so that the manned pedal can directly control the travel of the folding body 10. When only the pedal body 11 has the controller 127 and the power supply 128, there is no need to electrically connect to the folding body 10, and the folding body 10 can be directly pushed forward by the pedal body 11; when both have the controller 127 and the power supply 128, the circuits of the two need to be connected together through a wire so that both can control each other. At this time, the user can choose one to control according to needs.

[0056] It should be pointed out that when the folding vehicle body 10 is connected to electricity, the fixed wheel 101 needs to be a wheel with a hub motor inside so that it can generate power for moving. When the pedal body 11 is connected to electricity, the pedal wheel 111 needs to be a wheel with a hub motor inside so that it can generate power for moving. The hub motor is a common existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0057] Furthermore, in this embodiment, two spaced-apart connecting blocks 14 are provided on one side of the pedal body 11 provided with the vehicle body connecting portion 13. The vehicle body connecting portion 13 is rotatably connected to the connecting blocks 14. The vehicle body connecting portion 13 can vertically rotate relative to the connecting blocks 14. The connecting blocks 14 are provided with a limiting structure for limiting the rotation of the vehicle body connecting portion 13 relative to the connecting blocks 14.

[0058] Specifically, the connection between the vehicle body connection part 13 and the pedal body 11 can be an integrated connection or a rotational connection. In this application, a rotational connection is preferred to reduce its volume. Specifically, the pedal body 11 is provided with two spaced connection blocks 14 on one side of the vehicle body connection part 13. The two connection blocks 14 are integrated with the pedal body 11. The vehicle body connection part 13 is rotationally connected to the connection block 14. The vehicle body connection part 13 can be rotated vertically relative to the connection block 14 so that it can be folded under the pedal body 11. At the same time, since the vehicle body connection part 13 and the connection block 14 are rotationally connected, in order to avoid affecting normal use, a limiting structure is also provided on the connection block 14. The limiting structure is mainly used to limit the rotation of the vehicle body connection part 13 so that it can always remain in the required position.

[0059] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes: a limiting column 142, the connecting block 14 is provided with a transverse sliding groove 141, the limiting column 142 is movably arranged in the transverse sliding groove 141, the middle portion of the connecting block 14 is further provided with a vertical hole 144, an unlocking handle 143 is rotatably installed in the vertical hole 144, one end of the unlocking handle 143 is fixedly connected to the limiting column 142, and the side of the unlocking handle 143 facing the folding body 10 is further connected to a handle tension spring 145, and the end of the body connecting portion 13 connected to the connecting block 14 is provided with two limiting grooves 136;

[0060] Specifically, the connecting block 14 is provided with a transverse slot 141 that passes through the connecting block 14 in the width direction, and the limiting post 142 is slidably arranged in the transverse slot 141, and the limiting post 142 can slide in the transverse slot 141. At the same time, a vertical hole 144 is provided in the middle of the connecting block 14, and an unlocking handle 143 is rotatably connected in the vertical hole 144. The limiting post 142 passes through the unlocking handle 143 and is slidably connected to the unlocking handle 143. The limiting post 142 can slide vertically relative to the unlocking handle 143. When the unlocking handle 143 rotates relative to the connecting block 14, the limiting post 142 slides synchronously in the transverse slot 141 and the unlocking handle 143, so that it moves along the transverse slot 141, wherein the two ends of the limiting post 142 are located in the transverse slot 1 41, and two limiting grooves 136 are provided at one end where the vehicle body connecting part 13 is connected to the connecting block 14, and the two limiting grooves 136 are adapted to the limiting posts 142. The rotation of the vehicle body connecting part 13 is limited by the cooperation between the limiting posts 142 and the limiting grooves 136. In order to realize the automatic cooperation of the limiting posts 142, a handle tension spring 145 is connected to the side of the unlocking handle 143 facing the folding body 10, and the other end of the handle tension spring 145 is connected to the connecting block 14. When the handle tension spring 145 is rotated by an external force, the handle tension spring 145 is stretched to generate a restoring force. When the handle tension spring 145 is subjected to an external force, the unlocking handle 143 is automatically returned to its original position under the restoring force of the handle tension spring 145, and the limiting post 142 is also driven to return to its original position.

[0061] Furthermore, a slot 131 is provided at one end of the vehicle body connecting portion 13 away from the pedal body 11, and an embedding slot 132 is provided at the other end of the vehicle body connecting portion 13 where the slot 131 is provided. The embedding slot 132 intersects with the slot 131, and a latch 137 is slidably provided in the embedding slot 132. The latch 137 can be inserted into the slot 131, and a pull wire 133 is connected to the tail end of the latch 137. A spring 134 is further provided in the latch 137, and the spring 134 is used to move the latch 137 toward the direction where the slot 131 is located.

[0062] Specifically, the vehicle body connecting part 13 can be two or one at each end. In order to improve stability, two are used at each end. The ends of the two vehicle body connecting parts 13 away from the connecting block 14 are respectively provided with a card slot 131. The card slot 131 is adapted to the axle of the fixed wheel 101. The vehicle body connecting part 13 is rotatably connected to the fixed wheel 101 through the card slot 131. An embedding groove 132 is also provided at the end of the vehicle body connecting part 13 provided with the card slot 131. A card pin 137 is slidably placed in the embedding groove 132. The end of the card pin 137 adjacent to the card slot 131 can be inserted into the slot. When the vehicle body connecting part 13 is placed on the axle of the fixed wheel 101 through the card slot 131 When the vehicle body connection part 13 is separated from the wheel axle, since one side of the slot 131 is open, the vehicle body connection part 13 may be separated from the wheel axle. At this time, it is only necessary to slide the pin 137 to block the opening position to prevent the vehicle body connection part 13 from separating from the wheel axle. In order to facilitate the sliding of the pin 137, a pull wire 133 is connected to the tail of the pin 137. The pull wire 133 passes through the embedded slot 132 horizontally. At the same time, a spring 134 is also installed in the pin 137. The spring 134 is used to generate a displacement force for the pin 137, so that the head of the pin 137 is always in the slot 131, and the pull wire 133 is used to pull the pin 137 so that its head retracts into the embedded slot 132.

[0063] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the vehicle body connecting portion 13 is further rotatably connected to an unlocking handle 135 , and one end of the unlocking handle 135 is fixedly connected to the pull wire 133 ;

[0064] Specifically, in order to facilitate pulling the pin 137 back into the embedded groove 132, an unlocking handle 135 is rotatably connected between the two vehicle body connecting parts 13 at each end. The bottom end of the unlocking handle 135 is fixedly connected to the pull wire 133. When the unlocking handle 135 is bent, the unlocking handle 135 will pull the pull wire 133, and the pull wire 133 will drive the pin 137 to retract into the embedded groove 132. When the pin 137 retracts, it will simultaneously squeeze the spring 134 to generate a restoring force. When the unlocking handle 135 loses external force, the pin 137 will automatically insert back into the slot 131 under the action of the spring 134, and at the same time drive the unlocking handle 135 to return to its position.

[0065] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the end of the folding body 10 away from the pedal body 11 is also movably connected to a handle 103. Specifically, in order to facilitate towing the folding body 10 when not riding, the end of the folding body 10 away from the pedal body 11 is also connected to a handle 103. The handle 103 can be rotated vertically relative to the folding body 10 to facilitate adjusting the inclination angle of the handle 103 when towing.

[0066] It should be pointed out that since the vehicle body connecting portion 13 and the axle of the fixed wheel 101 are rotationally connected, in order to prevent the pedal body 11 from flipping over by itself in the folded state as shown in Figure 10, a hook (not shown in the figure) can be provided at the top of the end of the folding vehicle body 10 connected to the pedal body 11, which is used to fix the pedal body 11 when the pedal body 11 is not in use and is folded at the rear of the folding vehicle body 10 to prevent it from flipping over.

[0067] In summary, the present invention connects a passenger pedal to the rear end of the foldable vehicle body 10, so that the foldable vehicle body 10 can carry the user for walking, which is more convenient and labor-saving to use, improves the user experience, and does not affect the carrying capacity of the foldable vehicle body 10, thereby improving practicality; and the passenger pedal is rotatably connected to the axle of the fixed wheel 101 of the foldable vehicle body 10, which lowers the height of the force application point of the passenger pedal and effectively reduces the risk of rollover. Moreover, the passenger pedal is rotatably connected to the foldable vehicle body 10, which can effectively avoid force concentration at the connection point and extend the service life.

[0068] The present invention is not limited to what is described in the specification and embodiments, and additional advantages and modifications will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific details, representative devices, and illustrative examples shown and described herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents.
