Detailed Implementation
[0101] In the following, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although this disclosure is open to various modifications and alternatives, specific embodiments thereof are shown by way of example in the drawings. However, this disclosure should not be construed as limiting itself to the embodiments set forth herein, but rather, this disclosure is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives that fall within the spirit and scope of the embodiments.
[0102] Typically, the frame 1 of the transport vehicle may include a rear leg 100 and a front leg 200 respectively connected to wheels 600, and a handlebar 300 connected to the rear leg 100. The handlebar 300 allows the user to push and pull the transport vehicle for movement.
[0103] For ease of description, as shown in Figures 1 to 6, this document uses a vehicle frame 1 with four wheels 600 as an example. However, this disclosure is also applicable to vehicle frames 1 with two, three, or more than four wheels 600.
[0104] Meanwhile, this paper defines the direction in which the frame 1 is pushed (i.e., the left direction in Figure 4) as forward, the direction in which the frame 1 is dragged (i.e., the right direction in Figure 4) as backward, and the left and right directions perpendicular to the forward and backward directions as lateral. Since the frame 1 is symmetrical about the left and right sides along the lateral direction, for clarity, the following description mainly focuses on the structure of the lateral side of the frame 1.
[0105] The retraction mechanism of the frame
[0106] To enable the transport vehicle to be folded for carrying, the rider 300 can be designed to pivotally onto the rear leg 100. When the frame 1 is in the extended state, the rider 300 is locked relative to the rear leg 100 and cannot pivot, allowing the user to push the transport vehicle using the rider 300. When preparing to fold the frame 1, the rider 300 is unlocked relative to the rear leg 100 and can pivot to fold the frame 1. Additionally, for greater ease of use, when the frame 1 is in the extended state, the user may also need the rider 300 to be unlocked relative to the rider fixing lever 400 and pivot to switch the rider 300 from push mode (as shown in Figure 20) to trailer mode (as shown in Figure 21, which will be detailed later).
[0107] The retraction mechanism of the vehicle frame 1 according to this disclosure can well meet the above requirements.
[0108] Figures 1 to 13 illustrate one embodiment of the retraction mechanism of the vehicle frame 1 according to the present disclosure.
[0109] The frame 1 may include a rear leg 100 and a rider 300. The folding mechanism includes a rider fixing rod 400, which is pivotally connected to the rear leg 100. The rider 300 is connected to the rider fixing rod 400 such that when the frame 1 is folded, the rider 300 can pivot synchronously with the rider fixing rod 400.
[0110] In this disclosure, "synchronous pivoting" of the rider 300 and the rider support bar 400 means that they are arranged side-by-side with each other fixed relative to each other, and the rider 300 can pivot along with the rider support bar 400. In the embodiments shown in Figures 20 to 25B, the rider 300 and the rider support bar 400 can pivot about the same rider pivot axis S11. In other embodiments, the pivot axis of the rider 300 can be located on the rider support bar 400 and offset from the pivot axis of the rider support bar 400.
[0111] By setting a rider fixing bar 400, and the rider 300 being able to pivot synchronously or asynchronously with the rider fixing bar 400, the rider 300 can switch between multiple working states relative to the rear foot 100.
[0112] For example, when the rider 300 and the rider fixing lever 400 pivot synchronously, if the rider fixing lever 400 is locked relative to the rear foot 100 and cannot pivot, the rider 300 will also remain in the push mode (as shown in Figure 1) as the rider fixing lever 400 is locked relative to the rear foot 100. This is beneficial for the user to push the vehicle using the rider 300. If the rider fixing lever 400 is unlocked relative to the rear foot 100 and can pivot, the rider 300 will also pivot to the folded state (as shown in Figures 2 and 3) as the rider fixing lever 400 is unlocked relative to the rear foot 100. This is beneficial for the user to fold the frame 1.
[0113] When the driver 300 and the driver fixing bar 400 no longer pivot synchronously, even if the driver fixing bar 400 is locked relative to the rear foot 100 and cannot pivot, the driver 300 can still pivot relative to the rear foot 100 to a suitable angle position for the trailer (as shown in Figure 21). This is beneficial for the user to tow the transport vehicle by using the driver 300.
[0114] In order to lock or unlock the pivot of the rider's locking bar 400 relative to the rear foot 100, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the rider's locking bar 400 is provided with a locking bar locking member 410, which can move between a locked position and an unlocked position.
[0115] As shown in Figure 11, when the fixing rod locking member 410 moves to the locked position, the fixing rod locking member 410 locks onto the rear foot 100 to prevent the rider fixing rod 400 from pivoting relative to the rear foot 100. At this time, the frame 1 can remain in the unfolded state or other use state.
[0116] In one embodiment, the fixing bar locking member 410 can be configured such that when the rider fixing bar 400 pivots relative to the rear foot 100 to an angle position that puts the frame 1 in the unfolded state, the fixing bar locking member 410 can move to the locking position to keep the frame 1 in the unfolded state.
[0117] In another embodiment, the retaining bar locking member 410 may be configured such that when the rider retaining bar 400 pivots relative to the rear foot 100 to another angular position where the frame 1 is not in the extended state (e.g., the frame 1 is in the folded state), the retaining bar locking member 410 can move to a locked position to keep the frame 1 in a different use state (e.g., the folded state).
[0118] As shown in Figure 12, when the locking member 410 of the fixed bar moves to the unlocked position, the locking member 410 of the fixed bar releases relative to the rear foot 100, so as to allow the rider fixed bar 400 to pivot relative to the rear foot 100, thereby allowing the frame 1 to change its usage state (e.g., to the folded state).
[0119] In the embodiments shown in Figures 11 and 12, the fixing rod locking member 410 located within the rider fixing rod 400 is movable along the rider fixing rod 400 between a locked position and an unlocked position. A rear foot locking hole 110 is provided at the portion of the rear foot 100 where the rider fixing rod 400 is pivotally connected. When the fixing rod locking member 410 moves to the locked position and inserts into the rear foot locking hole 110, the fixing rod locking member 410 is locked onto the rear foot 100. When the fixing rod locking member 410 moves to the unlocked position and exits the rear foot locking hole 110, the fixing rod locking member 410 is unlocked relative to the rear foot 100.
[0120] In other embodiments, the locking member 410 of the rider restraint 400 according to this disclosure can also be locked and unlocked relative to the rear foot 100 in other ways. For example, the locking member 410 can be configured to extend or retract into the pivot end of the rider restraint 400 in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the rider restraint 400 (i.e., the extension direction of the rider restraint 400). When the locking member 410 extends from the pivot end of the rider restraint 400, it can abut against the outer wall of the rear foot 100, thereby locking the rider restraint 400 relative to the rear foot 100 and preventing it from pivoting. When the locking member 410 retracts into the pivot end of the rider restraint 400, the rider restraint 400 is unlocked relative to the rear foot 100 and can pivot.
[0121] To ensure that the locking member 410 will not be accidentally released after being locked to the rear foot 100, as shown in Figures 11 and 12, the retraction mechanism according to this disclosure may also include a locking member reset device 412, which is configured to tend to move the locking member 410 to the locked position.
[0122] The locking reset device 412 can be an elastic element such as a spring, pneumatic rod or hydraulic rod.
[0123] When the user is ready to fold up the frame 1, the rider locking bar 400 needs to be released relative to the rear foot 100 so that it can pivot. In order to facilitate the user's operation, the folding mechanism according to this disclosure may also include a release operation part provided on the frame 1, which can be operated to drive the locking member 410 of the locking bar to move to the release position.
[0124] In the embodiments shown in Figures 1 to 13, the unlocking operation unit is a rider slide 310 that can move along the rider 300. The rider slide 310 is provided on the rider 300, allowing the user to easily perform the unlocking operation without bending over.
[0125] The rider slide 310 can be a sleeve that fits onto the rider 300, or it can be another structure with a groove that engages with the rider 300.
[0126] [Correction based on Rule 91 12.05.2026] Since the rider slide 310 provided on the rider 300 is a distance away from the fixed rod locking member 410 located at the pivot end of the rider fixed rod 400, the rider slide 310 needs to indirectly drive the fixed rod locking member 410 to the unlock position via the slide drive assembly.
[0127] In the embodiments shown in Figures 7A to 10, the sliding sleeve drive assembly may include a driver drive component 320 and a driver traction component 330.
[0128] The driver's drive unit 320 is configured to move along the driver 300. The driver's drive unit 320 may be a sleeve fitted onto the driver 300, or it may be other structures with grooves that engage with the driver 300.
[0129] As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the first end 331 of the driver traction component 330 is connected to the driver slide 310, and the second end 332 is connected to the driver drive component 320, so that the movement of the driver slide 310 can drive the driver drive component 320 from the initial position to the driving position.
[0130] The driver's towing device 330 can use a flexible towing line such as steel wire, or a rigid towing bar.
[0131] As shown in Figures 8B and 13, the driver drive unit 320 is provided with a drive pusher 321, which interacts with the locking pusher 411 provided on the fixed bar locking member 410, so that the driver drive unit 320 can drive the fixed bar locking member 410 to move to the unlock position.
[0132] In one embodiment, the drive pusher 321 may be disposed on the side of the rider drive member 320 facing the rider retaining bar 400 to interact with the locking pusher 411. The locking pusher 411 may be integrally formed with the retaining bar locking member 410 or separately formed and connected to the retaining bar locking member 410. When the retaining bar locking member 410 is located within the rider retaining bar 400, the locking pusher 411 disposed on the retaining bar locking member 410 may protrude through the wall of the rider retaining bar 400.
[0133] To control the travel distance of the rider's sliding sleeve 310 along the rider 300, as shown in Figure 9, the rider 300 is provided with a sliding sleeve groove 311 extending along its length. A sliding sleeve fixing pin 312 is configured to pass through the rider's sliding sleeve 310 and the sliding sleeve groove 311. Therefore, the travel distance of the sliding sleeve fixing pin 312 within the sliding sleeve groove 311 is the travel distance of the rider's sliding sleeve 310 along the rider 300.
[0134] It should be noted that the entire rider 300 shown in the attached figure is U-shaped, and the "length direction of the rider 300" mentioned in this article refers to the extension direction of the straight part of the rider 300 that is perpendicular to the lateral direction.
[0135] As shown in Figure 9, the first end 331 of the driver traction component 330 can be connected to the sliding sleeve fixing pin 312, so that when the driver sliding sleeve 310 drives the sliding sleeve fixing pin 312 to move, the sliding sleeve fixing pin 312 drives the driver traction component 330 to move.
[0136] Similarly, to control the travel distance of the driver's drive component 320 along the rider 300, as shown in Figure 10, the rider 300 is provided with a drive component elongated slot 322 extending along its length direction, and a drive component fixing pin 323 is configured to pass through the driver's drive component 320 and the drive component elongated slot 322. Thus, the travel distance of the drive component fixing pin 323 within the drive component elongated slot 322 is the travel distance of the driver's drive component 320 along the rider 300.
[0137] As shown in Figure 10, the second end 332 of the driver traction component 330 can be connected to the drive component fixing pin 323, so that when the driver traction component 330 drives the drive component fixing pin 323 to move, the drive component fixing pin 323 drives the driver drive component 320 to move.
[0138] The travel of the sliding sleeve retaining pin 312 within the sliding sleeve long groove 311 (i.e., the length of the sliding sleeve long groove 311 along the length direction of the rider 300) should be greater than or equal to the travel of the drive member retaining pin 323 within the drive member long groove 322 (i.e., the length of the drive member long groove 322 along the length direction of the rider 300), so that the movement of the rider sliding sleeve 310 is sufficient to drive the rider drive member 320 to the drive position, thereby driving the retaining rod locking member 410 to the release position.
[0139] To prevent the driver's drive unit 320 from remaining in the drive position and causing the locking member 410 to remain in the unlocked position due to the action of the drive unit pusher 321 on the locking member pusher 411, thus preventing the locking member 410 from being unable to lock onto the rear foot 100, the driver's drive unit 320 needs to be able to return to its initial position. As shown in FIG10, the retraction mechanism according to this disclosure may include a drive unit reset device 324, which is configured to tend to move the driver's drive unit 320 to the initial position, so that the driver's drive unit 320 can automatically return to the initial position without user operation.
[0140] In the embodiment shown in Figure 10, the drive component reset device 324 can be a tension spring disposed within the rider 300, with one end connected to the inner wall of the rider 300 and the other end connected to the drive component fixing pin 323. Of course, the drive component reset device 324 can also be other elastic components such as compression springs, torsion springs, pneumatic rods, or hydraulic rods.
[0141] When the user prepares to retract the frame 1, they can operate the rider slide 310 on the rider 300, moving it upwards along the rider 300. The rider slide 310 then drives the rider drive 320 from its initial position to its drive position via the rider traction member 330. During this process, the drive member push part 321 of the rider drive 320 applies force to the locking member push push 411 provided on the fixing bar locking member 410, causing the fixing bar locking member 410 to move to the unlocked position. That is, the fixing bar locking member 410 unlocks relative to the rear foot 100, which allows the rider fixing bar 400 to pivot relative to the rear foot 100. This causes the rider 300, which pivots synchronously with the rider fixing bar 400, to also pivot to the retracted position as the rider fixing bar 400 unlocks relative to the rear foot 100.
[0142] Canopy installation
[0143] In the use of transport vehicles, canopy devices such as sunshades are often used to provide a better transport environment for the people or goods being transported in the vehicle.
[0144] Figures 18 and 19 illustrate one embodiment of a roof assembly 500 for a vehicle frame according to the present disclosure.
[0145] As shown in Figure 18, the canopy device 500 according to this disclosure includes a canopy rod 510 for supporting a canopy 530. The canopy 530 can be made of a flexible material such as fabric and can have a sun protection effect.
[0146] The canopy pole 510 may include a movable canopy pole 511 and a generally horizontally positioned fixed canopy pole 512. The movable canopy pole 511 is movable to allow the user to adjust the degree of shading provided by the canopy device 500 as needed. For example, Figure 4 shows the movable canopy pole 511 in a vertical position, where the canopy device 500 provides a greater degree of shading. Figure 5 shows the movable canopy pole 511 in a horizontal position, where the canopy device 500 provides a lesser degree of shading. Of course, the movable canopy pole 511 can be moved to other positions between the vertical and horizontal positions.
[0147] To facilitate the detachable fixing of the roof rod 510 to the vehicle frame 1, the roof device 500 according to this disclosure also includes a roof mounting base 520 that can be detachably fixed to the vehicle frame 1.
[0148] As shown in Figure 18, a rod slot 523 is provided on one side of the canopy mounting base 520. The end of the fixed canopy rod 512 is fixed in the rod slot 523, and the end of the movable canopy rod 511 is pivotally connected to the other side of the canopy mounting base 520. Thus, the movable canopy rod 511 and the fixed canopy rod 512 are connected to the canopy mounting base 520.
[0149] As shown in Figures 18 and 19, the roof mounting base 520 is provided with a roof joint 521, and the frame 1 is provided with a frame joint 11. The roof joint 521 and the frame joint 11 can be engaged with each other, thereby detachably fixing the roof mounting base 520 to the frame 1.
[0150] Although in the embodiments shown in Figures 17 and 19, the frame joint 11 is formed on the frame base 12, the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the frame joint 11 may also be formed with other parts of the frame 1.
[0151] In addition, in the embodiments shown in Figures 17 to 19, the roof joint 521 and the frame joint 11 are mating grooves. In other embodiments, the roof joint 521 and the frame joint 11 may be joined together using other structures with a convex-concave fit.
[0152] To ensure a tighter connection between the roof joint 521 and the frame joint 11, and to prevent the roof assembly 500 from accidentally detaching from the frame 1, as shown in FIG18, the roof joint 521 may be provided with a roof elastic part 522 capable of applying pressure to the frame joint 11. The roof elastic part 522 may be an elastic sheet or other elastic structure.
[0153] In one embodiment, one of the resilient canopy portion 522 and the frame joint portion 11 may be provided with a joint recess 522A (see FIG. 18), and the other may be provided with a joint protrusion 11A capable of engaging with the joint recess 522A (see FIG. 19). The engagement between the joint recess 522A and the joint protrusion 11A further reduces the risk of the canopy assembly 500 accidentally detaching from the frame 1.
[0154] It should be understood that this disclosure is not limited thereto, and the canopy mounting bracket 520 can be fixed to the frame 1 by means of threaded connection or pin connection.
[0155] The rider mechanism of the frame
[0156] During the use of the transport vehicle, the user frequently needs to switch the rider 300 between push mode and trailer mode as required. As mentioned earlier, when the frame 1 is in the unfolded state, the user may need the rider 300 to be able to unlock relative to the rear foot 100 and pivot, thereby switching the rider 300 from push mode to trailer mode. The relevant structures for these switching are described below.
[0157] Figures 20 to 27B illustrate one embodiment of the driver's mechanism of the frame 1 of the vehicle according to the present disclosure.
[0158] In the frame 1 including the rear foot 100 and the rider 300, the rider mechanism according to the present disclosure includes a rider fixing bar 400 pivotally connected to the rear foot 100, and the rider 300 is connected to the rider fixing bar 400 such that the rider 300 can pivot synchronously with the rider fixing bar 400 (see FIG. 20) or the rider 300 can pivot relative to the rider fixing bar 400 (see FIG. 21).
[0159] As shown in Figures 22 and 23, the rider 300 may be provided with a rider fixing member 340, which is movable along the rider 300 between an engaged position and a non-engaged position.
[0160] As shown in Figure 22, when the rider fixing member 340 moves to the engaged position, the rider locking part 341 of the rider fixing member 340 can engage the free end 420 of the rider fixing rod 400, so that the rider 300 can pivot synchronously with the rider fixing rod 400. When the frame 1 is in the unfolded state, if the rider fixing rod 400 cannot pivot, the rider 300 also cannot pivot, and the user can push the vehicle with the rider 300, which is the pushing mode shown in Figure 20. Alternatively, when preparing to fold the frame 1, the rider fixing rod 400 releases its lock relative to the rear foot 100 and can pivot, then the rider 300 also follows the release of the rider fixing rod 400 relative to the rear foot 100 and pivots to the folded state (as shown in Figures 2 and 3), which is beneficial for the user to fold the vehicle.
[0161] As shown in Figure 23, when the rider restraint 340 moves to the non-engaged position in the direction of the arrow, the rider locking part 341 of the rider restraint 340 disengages from the free end 420 of the rider restraint rod 400, allowing the rider 300 to pivot relative to the rider restraint rod 400. When the frame 1 is in the unfolded state, the rider restraint rod 400 remains locked relative to the rear foot 100 and cannot pivot. However, since the rider 300 can pivot relative to the rider restraint rod 400, the user can pivot the rider 300 to a suitable angle for towing, thereby towing the vehicle using the rider 300. This is the towing mode shown in Figure 21.
[0162] As shown in Figures 25A to 27B, the rider fixing member 340 can be a sleeve that fits onto the rider 300 and can be positioned near the free end 420 of the rider fixing bar 400 to facilitate its function.
[0163] Of course, the rider fastener 340 can also adopt other structures with grooves that engage with the rider 300.
[0164] In the embodiments shown in Figures 7B, 8B, 25B and 27B, the rider locking portion 341 on the rider fastener 340 can be formed by a portion extending from the sleeve-shaped body of the rider fastener 340, having a fastener receiving portion 341A (see Figure 8B). The fastener receiving portion 341A can be a recess, a sleeve or a collar, and can accommodate the free end 420 of the rider fastener bar 400.
[0165] To control the travel distance of the rider fastener 340 along the rider 300, as shown in Figures 25B and 26B, the rider 300 is provided with a long slot 342 extending along its length. A fastener connecting pin 343 is configured to pass through the rider fastener 340 and the long slot 342. Therefore, the travel distance of the fastener connecting pin 343 within the long slot 342 is the travel distance of the rider fastener 340 along the rider 300.
[0166] To ensure that the rider locking part 341 of the rider fastener 340 does not accidentally disengage after engaging with the free end 420 of the rider fastener 400, as shown in Figures 25B and 26B, the rider mechanism according to this disclosure may also include a fastener reset device 344, which is configured to tend to move the rider fastener 340 to the engagement position.
[0167] The fixing component reset device 344 can be an elastic component such as a spring, pneumatic rod or hydraulic rod.
[0168] In addition, to facilitate the user's operation of the rider fastener 340 and to disengage the rider locking part 341 from the free end 420 of the rider fastener bar 400, as shown in FIG25B, a fastener release part 345 may be provided on the rider fastener 340.
[0169] In the embodiment shown in Figure 25B, the locking release part 345 of the fastener can be a plurality of annular ribs or annular grooves provided around the sleeve-shaped body of the rider fastener 340, which can increase the friction between the user's fingers and the rider fastener 340.
[0170] In other embodiments, the locking release part 345 of the fastener may also be a pull ring or hook connected to the rider fastener 340, so that the user can drive the rider fastener 340 to a non-engaged position by pulling the pull ring or hook.
[0171] When the rider locking part 341 of the rider fixing part 340 is engaged with the free end 420 of the rider fixing bar 400, in order to prevent the rider 300 from pivoting too much (for example, the rider 300 pivoting to the point of touching the ground), as shown in Figures 26B and 27B, the rear foot 100 may be provided with a rear foot connecting seat 120 for the pivoting end 301 of the rider 300 to be pivotally connected thereto. The rider pivoting shaft S11 may be provided on the rear foot connecting seat 120, and the rear foot connecting seat 120 may be provided with a rider pivoting limiting part 121 to limit the pivoting angle of the pivoting end 301 of the rider 300.
[0172] In the embodiments shown in Figures 8B and 27B, the rider pivot limiter 121 may be a protrusion or a blocking rib provided on the rear foot connection seat 120. When the pivot end 301 of the rider 300 pivots to a certain angle toward the landing direction (i.e., the pivot direction of the rider 300 toward the ground), the protrusion or blocking rib 121 can prevent the pivot end 301 of the rider 300 from continuing to pivot toward the landing direction.
[0173] In other embodiments, the rear foot connector 120 may be a housing into which the pivot end 301 of the rider 300 is inserted, with a through slot formed in the housing to allow the pivot end 301 of the rider 300 to pivot within the range of the through slot. In this case, the two ends of the through slot are the rider pivot limiting portions.
[0174] Wheel mechanism of the vehicle frame
[0175] During the folding and unfolding of the transport vehicle, after the user folds and unfolds the frame 1, sometimes the orientation of the wheels 600 will cause the wheels 600 to move away from the body of the frame 1 (as shown in Figure 33), resulting in the frame 1 still having a large volume after being folded. Therefore, the user needs to manually rotate the wheels 600 to bring them closer to the body of the frame 1 (as shown in Figures 34 and 35) in order to reduce the volume of the frame 1 to the minimum. This folding and unfolding operation is very inconvenient.
[0176] Therefore, this disclosure provides a wheel mechanism that, while folding the frame 1, can rotate the wheels 600 to a suitable orientation to reduce packaging volume and facilitate user carrying. This not only saves storage space but also reduces packaging costs for manufacturers.
[0177] Figures 28 to 53B illustrate one embodiment of the wheel mechanism of the frame 1 of the vehicle according to the present disclosure.
[0178] As shown in Figures 28 to 35, in a frame 1 including a front leg 200, a rear leg 100 and a wheel 600, the wheel mechanism according to the present disclosure includes a wheel seat 610, which is steerably connected to the front leg 200 or the rear leg 100, and the wheel 600 is connected to the wheel seat 610 and can steer synchronously with the wheel seat 610.
[0179] [Correction 12.05.2026 based on Rule 91] Figures 36 and 37 illustrate an embodiment of the wheel seat 610 being connected to the front foot 200. The front foot 200 has a wheel seat mounting shaft 640 at its bottom end (see Figure 36), and the wheel seat 610 has a wheel seat mounting hole 614 at its top end (see Figure 37). The wheel seat 610 is connected to the front foot 200 by inserting the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 into the wheel seat mounting hole 614.
[0180] In order to hold the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 in the wheel seat mounting hole 614, as shown in Figures 37, 39, 43 and 44, the wheel mechanism according to the present disclosure may include a wheel seat locking member 660 disposed on the wheel seat 610, which may be in the form of a sheet structure and have a pressing part exposed in the wheel seat connecting housing 613 of the wheel seat 610 for the user to press. The wheel seat locking member 660 has a sheet-like structure with a large locking member through hole and a small locking member through hole arranged side by side and communicating with each other (see Figure 39). The radial dimension of the large locking member through hole is larger than the radial dimension of the main body of the wheel seat mounting shaft 640, and the radial dimension of the small locking member through hole is smaller than the radial dimension of the main body of the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 but larger than the radial dimension of the recess on the wheel seat mounting shaft 640. This allows the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 to remain in the wheel seat mounting hole 614 when the recess on the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 and the small locking member through hole are radially aligned. When the pressing part of the wheel seat locking member 660 is pressed, causing the wheel seat locking member 660 to move radially until the recess on the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 and the small locking member through hole are no longer radially aligned and the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 and the large locking member through hole are completely radially aligned, the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 can be removed from the wheel seat mounting hole 614.
[0181] Additionally, as shown in Figures 39, 43, and 44, the wheel seat 610 may also be provided with a wheel seat reset device 661, which is configured to move the wheel seat locking member 660 such that the small through hole of the locking member radially coincides with the recess on the wheel seat mounting shaft 640, so as to ensure that the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 is held in the wheel seat mounting hole 614.
[0182] In another embodiment, the wheel seat mounting shaft 640 may also be provided on the wheel seat 610, and the wheel seat mounting hole 614 is correspondingly provided in the front foot 200.
[0183] [Revised according to Rule 91, May 12, 2026] Of course, the wheel seat 610 can also be connected to the rear foot 100 in the same manner.
[0184] [Correction 12.05.2026 according to Rule 91] In other embodiments, the wheel seat 610 may also be connected to the front foot 200 or the rear foot 100 by other means such as threaded connection.
[0185] It should be noted that the wheel mechanism according to this disclosure is applicable to each wheel 600 and the front foot 200 or rear foot 100 connected to the wheel seat 610. Therefore, the following description will be based on the situation shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0186] When the frame 1 is in the extended and retracted states, the wheel 600 must be maintained at least in the extended orientation (i.e., the orientation of the wheel 600 when the frame 1 is extended, in which case the wheel 600 is away from the body of the frame 1, see Figure 32) and the retracted orientation (i.e., the orientation of the wheel 600 when the frame 1 is retracted, in which case the wheel 600 is close to the body of the frame 1, see Figure 35). To this end, as shown in Figures 36 and 37, the wheel seat 610 is provided with a wheel steering positioning member 611, and at least two wheel steering positioning holes 620 are provided on the front leg 200 or rear leg 100 corresponding to the wheel seat 610. When the wheel steering positioning member 611 is inserted into one of the wheel steering positioning holes 620, the wheel seat 610 and the connected wheel 600 can be oriented, thereby maintaining the wheel seat 610 and the connected wheel 600 in the extended orientation, the retracted orientation, or other orientations.
[0187] More specifically, the wheel steering locator 611 can be operated to move between an oriented position and a non-oriented position. As shown in Figures 42 and 44, when the wheel steering locator 611 moves to the oriented position, it can be inserted into one of the wheel steering locating holes 620 to orient the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600. As shown in Figures 41 and 43, when the wheel steering locator 611 moves to the non-oriented position, it disengages from the wheel steering locating hole 620 to allow the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600 to turn.
[0188] In order to enable the wheel steering positioning member 611 to move between a directional position and a non-directional position, in the embodiments shown in Figures 37 and 39, the wheel mechanism according to the present disclosure may include a directional member receiving seat 612, which is movably disposed on the wheel seat 610, and the wheel steering positioning member 611 is disposed on the directional member receiving seat 612 and moves with the directional member receiving seat 612.
[0189] In another embodiment, a receiving channel may be provided in the wheel seat 610, in which the wheel steering positioning member 611 can move up and down.
[0190] To facilitate user operation of the wheel steering positioning member 611 to move it between a directional position and a non-directional position, the wheel mechanism according to this disclosure may further include a wheel orientation operation member 630, which is configured to be operable to drive the orientation member receiving seat 612 to move.
[0191] [Correction based on Rule 91, 12.05.2026] In the embodiments shown in Figures 38 and 39, the wheel orientation operating member 630 is a ring-shaped wheel operating knob 630, which can be sleeved on the wheel seat connecting housing 613 of the wheel seat 610. Moreover, as shown in Figure 38, the inner wall of the wheel operating knob 630 is provided with a knob driving rib 631. Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 39, the outer wall of the orientation member receiving seat 612 is provided with a receiving seat driving groove 612A. The knob driving rib 631 is disposed in the receiving seat driving groove 612A and can apply a force to the receiving seat driving groove 612A. Thus, when the wheel operating knob 630 is rotated, by means of the force of the knob driving rib 631 on the receiving seat driving groove 612A, the wheel operating knob 630 can drive the orientation member receiving seat 612 to move, so that the wheel steering positioning member 611 moves between an orientation position and a non-orientation position.
[0192] [Correction 12.05.2026 according to Rule 91] In the embodiment shown in FIG38, the end of the knob drive rib 631 may be provided with a rib limiting part 632, which can control the rotation stroke of the wheel operation knob 630 to prevent the wheel operation knob 630 from rotating too much and causing the knob drive rib 631 to disengage from the receiving seat drive groove 612A.
[0193] In the embodiment shown in FIG38, the wheel operation knob 630 may further include a knob operation protrusion 633 that protrudes outward from the outer wall surface of the wheel operation knob 630 so that the user can operate the wheel operation knob 630.
[0194] Of course, the wheel orientation operating member 630 can also adopt other structures, such as a lever, one end of which is connected to the orientation member receiving seat 612 or the wheel steering positioning member 611, and the other end is exposed in the wheel seat 610. By moving the lever, the wheel steering positioning member 611 can be moved between the orientation position and the non-orientation position.
[0195] As shown in Figures 37 and 41, a wheel cover 650 can be provided above the wheel operation knob 630. This cover seals the internal structure of the wheel seat 610 from above, preventing foreign objects from entering the interior of the wheel seat 610. The wheel cover 650 can have a first cover hole 651 through which the wheel seat mounting shaft passes and a second cover hole 652 through which the wheel steering positioning member 611 passes.
[0196] To make it more convenient for users, the wheel mechanism according to this disclosure also enables the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600 to change from a directional orientation to a steering orientation during the folding process of the frame 1, and the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600 to turn to a folding orientation (see FIG35) without the need for direct operation by the user.
[0197] First, the structure of the wheel seat 610 and the connected wheel 600, which are linked together, change from orientation to allow steering during the retraction of the frame 1.
[0198] The frame 1 may include at least one of a front undertube 710 and a rear undertube 720, wherein the front undertube 710 and / or the rear undertube 720 are configured to pivot during the retraction of the frame 1 and to drive the wheel steering locator 611 to a non-directional position.
[0199] In the embodiments shown in Figures 45A to 49B, the first end 711 of the front bottom tube 710 is pivotally connected to the front foot 200, and the first end 721 of the rear bottom tube 720 is pivotally connected to the rear foot 100.
[0200] As shown in Figures 46B and 48B, at least one of the first end 711 of the front undertube 710 and the first end 721 of the rear undertube 720 may be provided with an undertube drive unit 701, and the corresponding front leg 200 and / or rear leg 100 may be provided with an undertube transmission assembly. By pivoting the front undertube 710 and / or the rear undertube 720, the undertube drive unit 701 on it can drive the wheel steering positioning member 611 to move to a non-directional position via the undertube transmission assembly.
[0201] Figures 46B, 48B, and 49B to 51 illustrate one embodiment of the undertube drive assembly according to the present disclosure. The undertube drive assembly is disposed within a wheel seat 610 and includes a first drive member 702 abutting against the undertube drive unit 701 and a second drive member 703 abutting against the wheel steering alignment member 611. The first drive member 702 and the second drive member 703 abut against each other, such that the force exerted by the undertube drive unit 701 is transmitted to the wheel steering alignment member 611 via the first drive member 702 and the second drive member 703.
[0202] To change the direction of force transmission, as shown in Figures 49B to 51, the contact surfaces of the first transmission member 702 and the bottom tube drive part 701, as well as the contact surfaces of the first transmission member 702 and the second transmission member 703, can both be configured as transmission ramps. For example, the first transmission member 702 can be provided with a first driving ramp 702A and a first driven ramp 702B (see Figure 50), and the second transmission member 703 can be provided with a second driven ramp 703A (see Figure 51).
[0203] As shown in Figures 46B and 48B, the bottom tube drive assembly according to this disclosure may further include a second drive member reset device 703B, which is configured to press the second drive member 703 against the first drive member 702 to prevent the two from disengaging.
[0204] Next, the structure in which the wheel seat 610 and the connected wheel 600 are driven to turn toward the retraction orientation during the retraction process of the frame 1 will be described.
[0205] In the embodiments shown in Figures 52A to 53B, at least one of the first end 711 of the front bottom tube 710 and the first end 721 of the rear bottom tube 720 may be provided with a bottom tube pusher 704, and the wheel seat 610 is provided with a wheel seat driven part 653. By pivoting the corresponding front bottom tube 710 and / or rear bottom tube 720 during the retraction of the frame 1, the bottom tube pusher 704 can push the wheel seat driven part 653, thereby driving the wheel seat 610 to turn to the retraction orientation.
[0206] The bottom tube pushing part 704 may be a radial extension provided on the first end 711 of the front bottom tube 710 and / or the first end 721 of the rear bottom tube 720.
[0207] The wheel seat driven part 653 can be a radial protrusion provided on the outer periphery of the wheel seat cover 650 (see Figure 37), or it can be a radial protrusion provided on other parts of the wheel seat 610.
[0208] It should be understood that regarding the structure of the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600, which moves from an orientation to a steering-allowed orientation during the retraction of the frame 1, and the structure that is driven to turn back to the retraction orientation, either one of these structures can be provided separately on the frame 1, or both structures can be provided on the frame 1. If both structures are provided on the frame 1, then these two structures should be configured such that the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600 first move from an orientation to a steering-allowed orientation during the retraction of the frame 1, and then are driven to turn back to the retraction orientation.
[0209] The chassis of the transport vehicle
[0210] The following will describe the connecting components of the vehicle frame according to this disclosure, as well as their connection and linkage relationships.
[0211] Figures 14 to 17 illustrate one embodiment of the vehicle frame according to the present disclosure. The lines connecting the pivot axes between the various connecting members of the frame 1 form multiple linkage quadrilaterals. Each pair of pivot axes corresponds substantially to one connecting member. Through these linkage quadrilaterals, the movement of any connecting member of the frame 1 will cause the other multiple connecting members to move together. This allows the user to operate only one or two connecting members of the frame 1 during its unfolding and folding process, enabling the other connecting members to unfold and fold together simultaneously. This greatly increases the convenience for the user when unfolding and folding the frame 1.
[0212] As shown in Figures 14 to 16, the frame 1 may include a frame base 12, a front leg 200, a rear leg 100, a front undertube 710, and a rear undertube 720.
[0213] The front foot 200 includes an upper front foot 201 and a lower front foot 202 pivotally connected to each other via a front foot pivot S1, and the rear foot 100 includes an upper rear foot 101 and a lower rear foot 102 pivotally connected to each other via a rear foot pivot S2. The upper rear foot and the upper front foot are pivotally connected to the frame base 12 of the frame 1 via a first frame pivot S3.
[0214] In addition, the front undertube 710 is pivotally connected to the lower front foot 202 via the front undertube pivot S4, and is pivotally connected to the frame base 12 via the second frame pivot S5.
[0215] The rear undertube 720 is pivotally connected to the lower rear foot 102 via the rear undertube pivot S6, and to the frame base 12 via the third frame pivot S7.
[0216] Therefore, the sequential connection of the first frame pivot S3, the rear foot pivot S2, the rear undertube pivot S6 and the third frame pivot S7 can form a first polygon, and the sequential connection of the first frame pivot S3, the front foot pivot S1, the front undertube pivot S4 and the second frame pivot S5 can form a second polygon.
[0217] As shown in Figures 14 to 17, the frame 1 may also include a frame slider 13, a first connector 730, and a second connector 740.
[0218] As shown in Figure 17, the frame slider 13 is movably mounted on the frame base 12 in the vertical direction. For example, the frame slider 13 can move within the base groove 12A extending vertically in the frame base 12.
[0219] The first connector 730 is pivotally connected to the upper part of the rear foot 101 via the first connector pivot S8, and the second connector 740 is pivotally connected to the upper part of the front foot 201 via the second connector pivot S9. The second connector 740 and the first connector 730 are pivotally connected to the frame slider 13 via the slider pivot S10.
[0220] Therefore, the sequential connection of the first frame pivot S3, the first connector pivot S8, the slider pivot S10, and the second connector pivot S9 can form a third polygon.
[0221] As shown in Figures 14 to 16, the frame 1 may also include a support member 750.
[0222] The rider 300 is pivotally connected to the upper rear foot 101 via the rider pivot S11, and the support member 750 is pivotally connected to the rider 300 via the support member pivot S12 and to the frame base 12 via the second frame pivot S5.
[0223] Therefore, the sequential connection of the first frame pivot S3, the second frame pivot S5, the support pivot S12, and the driver pivot S11 can form a fourth polygon.
[0224] The edges of the first, second, third, and fourth polygons comprise most of the connecting components of the frame 1. Moreover, these four polygons are interconnected; when one polygon deforms, the others will also deform, thus enabling the connecting components of the frame 1 to move in unison, ultimately allowing the frame 1 to unfold and fold.
[0225] The following is a detailed description of how the retraction mechanism, canopy device, rider mechanism and wheel structure of frame 1 cooperate and operate with each other during the retraction process of frame 1, and how the four polygons move and deform in conjunction.
[0226] When the user is ready to fold or fold the frame 1, for a frame 1 with a canopy device 500, the user can choose to fold or fold the canopy device 500 first. That is, the movable canopy rod 511 is moved to a horizontal position and stacked on top of the fixed canopy rod 512, as shown in Figure 5.
[0227] Of course, users can also choose not to fold down the roof device 500 of the frame 1, as shown in Figures 15 and 16.
[0228] Alternatively, if the roof device 500 is not installed on the frame 1, as shown in Figures 20 to 24, then there is no need to operate the roof device 500.
[0229] Next, if the rider 300 is in the trailer mode shown in Figure 21, in order to retract the frame 1, the user needs to operate the rider mechanism of the frame 1 to switch the rider 300 to the push mode, so that the rider 300 can pivot synchronously with the rider fixing rod 400.
[0230] For example, the user can pivot the rider 300 relative to the rear foot 100 in a direction away from the ground (i.e., counterclockwise in Figure 21) until the rider 300 and the rider fixing bar 400 are approximately aligned laterally, so that the rider locking part 341 of the rider fixing member 340 provided on the rider 300 engages with the free end 420 of the rider fixing bar 400, thereby enabling the rider 300 to pivot synchronously with the rider fixing bar 400, preparing for the folding of the frame 1.
[0231] Then, the user will release the lock on frame 1.
[0232] Specifically, the user can operate the release mechanism of the frame 1's retraction mechanism, that is, operate the rider's sliding sleeve 310 on the rider 300, causing the rider's locking lever 400 to unlock relative to the rear foot 100 and pivot. This causes the rider 300, which pivots synchronously with the rider's locking lever 400 relative to the rear foot 100, to also pivot towards the retracted position. Thus, the frame 1 is unlocked.
[0233] After that, the user will fold up the frame 1.
[0234] As shown in Figure 15, after the frame 1 is unlocked, the user can push the rider 300 forward, which lifts the support 750 upward and pulls the upper part of the rear foot 101 upward. As a result, the fourth polygon involving the rider 300, the support 750, the upper part of the rear foot 101, and the frame base 12 deforms.
[0235] As the fourth polygon deforms, the upper part 101 of the rear foot causes the lower part 102 of the rear foot to move upward, and the lower part 102 of the rear foot in turn causes the rear undertube 720 to move upward. As a result, the first polygon involving the upper part 101 of the rear foot, the lower part 102 of the rear foot, the rear undertube 720 and the frame base 12 also deforms.
[0236] At the same time, the upper part 101 of the rear foot also drives the first connector 730 upward, the first connector 730 drives the second connector 740 upward, and the second connector 740 pushes the upper part 201 of the front foot upward. As a result, the third polygon involving the upper part 101 of the rear foot, the first connector 730, the second connector 740, and the upper part 201 of the front foot also deforms.
[0237] At the same time, the upper part 201 of the front foot drives the lower part 202 of the front foot upward, and the lower part 202 of the front foot in turn drives the front bottom tube 710 upward. As a result, the second polygon involving the upper part 201 of the front foot, the lower part 202 of the front foot, the front bottom tube 710 and the frame base 12 also deforms.
[0238] Ultimately, the four polygons deform simultaneously, causing the associated connecting components to move and come together, thus allowing the frame 1 to be retracted.
[0239] During the retraction of the frame 1, the wheel mechanism of the frame 1 is also driven, causing the wheel seat 610 and its connected wheel 600 to turn to the retraction orientation.
[0240] Specifically, during the deformation of the first polygon involving the rear foot 102 and the rear bottom tube 720 and the second polygon involving the front foot 202 and the front bottom tube 710, the rear bottom tube 720 pivots relative to the rear foot 102 and the front bottom tube 710 pivots relative to the front foot 202, causing the bottom tube drive 701 provided on at least one of the rear bottom tube 720 and the front bottom tube 710 to drive the wheel steering positioning member 611 in the wheel seat 610 to move to a non-directional position via the bottom tube drive assembly, thereby causing the wheel seat 610 and the wheel 600 connected thereto to change from directional to allow steering.
[0241] Subsequently, the rear bottom tube 720 continues to pivot relative to the lower part of the rear foot 102, and the front bottom tube 710 continues to pivot relative to the lower part of the front foot 202, so that the bottom tube pusher 704 provided on at least one of the rear bottom tube 720 and the front bottom tube 710 pushes the wheel seat driven part 653 on the wheel seat 610, thereby causing the wheel seat 610 and the wheel 600 connected thereto to turn to the retraction orientation.
[0242] Finally, all the components of the frame 1 were tightly packed together.
[0243] The foregoing embodiments and advantages are merely exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this disclosure. The description herein is intended to be illustrative and not to limit the scope of the claims. Various alternatives, modifications, and alterations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
