Description

Children's pedal tricycle Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tricycle for children to play with, and more particularly to a children's tricycle with pedals on the front wheel. Background Technology

[0002] Children's tricycles with seats (one front wheel and two rear wheels) can be divided into two types based on whether the wheels light up or not. Currently, these tricycles with light-up wheels generally only have the rear wheels that light up when they rotate, while the front wheels do not. This, to some extent, affects the aesthetics of the tricycle and reduces children's interest in riding it. Technical issues

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a children's pedal tricycle that can improve the aesthetics of riding and enhance children's interest in riding. Technical solutions

[0004] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] The front wheel light-emitting device includes a magnetic ring, a bushing, a coil, and multiple LED beads connected to the coil. The magnetic ring is disposed on the magnetic ring sleeve. The magnetic ring sleeve is fixedly connected to the front wheel fork. The bushing is integrated with the wheel core of the front wheel. The coil and LED beads are connected together and disposed in the bushing. After the bushing is disposed in the wheel core of the front wheel, the LED beads are disposed in the bead slots of the wheel core. A light-transmitting plate is provided on the wheel core. When the front wheel rotates, the bushing drives the coil to rotate, causing the coil and the magnetic ring to form a cutting magnetic field line to generate electricity, thereby driving the LED beads to emit light.

[0007] The foot pedal riding control structure is a control block radially disposed in the sliding hole of the bushing; the front wheel axle is provided with a locking hole for the locking block of the control block to slide in and out; when the locking block of the control block slides into the locking hole of the front wheel axle, the bushing and the front wheel axle are connected to form a rotating body, and when the locking block of the control block slides out of the locking hole of the front wheel axle, the bushing and the front wheel axle can rotate independently.

[0008] In the improved design of the aforementioned children's pedal tricycle, the control block is a sliding ring that is fitted over the front wheel axle and can slide along the axle sleeve; a strip-shaped hole is provided in the sliding ring; and the locking block is provided in the strip-shaped hole.

[0009] In the improved design of the aforementioned children's pedal tricycle, the pedal assembly is installed into the front wheel axle via a disassembly and assembly structure; the disassembly and assembly structure includes a button and a button reset spring located in the plug-in end of the pedal assembly; the button is provided with a button and a locking pin; when the button is in the reset state, the locking pin springs into the pin hole of the front wheel axle.

[0010] In the improved design of the aforementioned children's pedal tricycle, the disassembly and assembly structure further includes a mounting box and a pad, with the button reset spring and the pad disposed in the transverse groove of the mounting box.

[0011] In the improved design of the aforementioned children's pedal tricycle, the bushing is divided into two sections, one of which is used to injection mold the coil and LED beads together during injection molding.

[0012] In the improved design of the aforementioned children's pedal tricycle, the front axle is divided into two sections, which are axially inserted from both sides of the front wheel fork and connected as one unit with studs. Beneficial effects

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: because a front wheel light-emitting device is provided in the front wheel, and the magnetic ring of the front wheel light-emitting device is fixed to the front wheel fork through the magnetic ring sleeve so that the magnetic ring cannot rotate, and the coil and multiple LED beads connected to the coil are assembled with the front wheel through the bushing to form a rotating whole, so that whether riding by pedaling or being pushed by an outsider, the rolling front wheel can drive the LED beads of the front wheel to be energized and illuminated, thereby improving the aesthetics of riding and gliding and children's interest in riding.

[0020] This utility model is a children's pedal tricycle, as shown in Figures 1 to 6. It includes a frame 1 with a seat 11, a handlebar 2 with a handlebar 21 rotatably fitted into a steering cylinder 12 of the frame 1, a front wheel fork 3 connected to the lower end of the handlebar 2, a front wheel 4 mounted in the front wheel fork 3, two rear wheels 5 mounted on both sides of the rear of the frame 1, and pedal assemblies 6 mounted at both ends of the front wheel axle 41 of the front wheel 4. The rear wheels may or may not have a rear wheel light-up device. These are basically the same as conventional children's pedal tricycles. The difference is that it also includes a front wheel light-up device 7 and a pedal-assisted riding control structure 8.

[0021] The front wheel light-emitting device 7 includes a magnetic ring 71, a bushing 72, a coil 73, and multiple LED beads 74 connected to the coil 73. The magnetic ring 71 is disposed on the magnetic ring bushing 75. The magnetic ring bushing 75 is fixedly connected to the front wheel fork 3 so that the magnetic ring 71 does not rotate with the front wheel 4. The bushing 72 is integrated with the wheel core 42 of the front wheel 4. The coil 73 and the LED beads 74 are connected together and disposed in the bushing 72. After the bushing 72 is disposed in the wheel core 42 of the front wheel 4, the LED beads are disposed in the bead slots 421 of the wheel core 42 of the front wheel 4. A light-transmitting plate 422 is provided on the wheel core 42. When the front wheel 4 rotates, the bushing 72 drives the coil 73 to rotate, so that the coil 73 and the magnetic ring 71 form a cutting magnetic field line to generate electricity, thereby driving the LED beads to emit light.

[0022] The pedal-assisted riding control structure 8 is a control block radially disposed in the sliding hole 721 of the bushing 72; the front wheel axle 41 is provided with a locking hole 411 for the locking block 81 of the control block to slide in and out; when the locking block 81 of the control block slides into the locking hole 411 of the front wheel axle 41, the bushing 72 and the front wheel axle 41 are connected to form a rotating body, and when the locking block 81 of the control block slides out of the locking hole 411 of the front wheel axle 41, the bushing 72 and the front wheel axle 41 can rotate independently. In this embodiment, the control block is a sliding ring sleeved on the front wheel axle 41 and capable of sliding along the bushing 72; the sliding ring is provided with a strip hole 82, which does not obstruct the sliding of the sliding ring when it slides radially on the bushing; the locking block 81 is disposed in the strip hole 82, as shown in Figure 4.

[0023] When using this utility model:

[0024] After the foot pedal riding control structure 8 is operated to connect the bushing 72 and the front wheel axle 41 into a rotating body, you can ride by pedaling. When riding, the rolling front wheel 4 drives the front wheel light-emitting device 7 to work, so that the LED light beads 74 light up.

[0025] Alternatively, you can first operate the foot pedal riding control structure 8 to disengage the axle sleeve 72 and the front wheel axle 41 from rotation, then push your feet on the ground to glide, or place your feet on the pedals and have an adult push you from behind to glide. While gliding, the rolling front wheel 4 can also drive the front wheel light-emitting device 7 to work, thereby making the LED beads 74 light up.

[0026] As can be seen from the above, since the front wheel 4 is equipped with a front wheel light-emitting device 7, and the magnetic ring 71 of the front wheel light-emitting device 7 is fixed to the front wheel fork 3 through the magnetic ring sleeve 75 so that the magnetic ring cannot rotate, and the coil 73 and the multiple LED beads 74 connected to the coil 73 are assembled with the front wheel 4 through the bushing 72 to form a rotating whole, the rolling front wheel can drive the LED beads 74 in the front wheel 4 to be energized and illuminated, whether riding by pedaling or being pushed by an outsider. This can improve the aesthetics of riding and gliding and enhance children's interest in riding.

[0027] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 6, the pedal assembly 6 is installed into the front wheel axle 41 via a disassembly and assembly structure 9. The disassembly and assembly structure 9 includes a button 91 and a button reset spring 92 disposed in the plug-in end 61 of the pedal assembly 6. The button 91 is provided with a button 911 and a locking pin 912. When the button 91 is in the reset state, the locking pin 912 springs into the pin hole 412 of the front wheel axle 41. Preferably, to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the disassembly and assembly structure 9, the disassembly and assembly structure 9 further includes a mounting box 93 and a pad 94. The button reset spring 92 and the pad 94 are disposed in the transverse groove 931 of the mounting box 93. Thus, during installation, the button 91 is first inserted into the shaft hole 611 of the plug-in end 61 of the foot pedal assembly 6, so that the button 911 and the locking pin 912 are exposed. Then, the button reset spring 92 and the pad 94 are inserted into the mounting box 93, and after pressing down the pad 94, the mounting box 93 is inserted into the shaft hole 611 of the plug-in end 61 of the foot pedal assembly 6. When inserted into place, the button 91 can be reset by the action of the button reset spring 92 and the pad 94, so that the button 911 and the locking pin 912 maintain an outward exposed tendency, thus completing the installation of the disassembly and assembly structure.

[0028] In this embodiment, the bushing 72 is divided into two sections and fixedly connected together. One section of the bushing 72 is used to injection mold the coil 73 and the LED bead 74 together, as shown in Figure 4. The other section of the bushing 72 is used to house the foot pedal riding control structure 8. Figure 5 shows an exploded view of one section of the bushing, the coil, and the LED bead.

[0029] In this embodiment, the front wheel axle 41 is divided into two sections, which are axially inserted from both sides of the front wheel fork 3 and connected as a whole by studs 43, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Locking holes 411 and pin holes 412 are provided on one of the front wheel axle sections (here, the right-hand front wheel axle section).
