This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. CN201922070906.1, filed on Nov. 26, 2019. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
The present invention relates to the technical field of outdoor transportation, in particular to a brake handle device and an electric tractor.
An electric tractor provides a driving force for a wheel assembly through a driving motor; and a microswitch is used as a switch for controlling the on-off between a power supply and the driving motor. The existing electric tractor usually requires a user to directly touch the microswitch by hand for related operations, which easily causes electric shock to the user, thereby bringing great potential safety hazards to the user during use of the electric tractor.
In view of this, it is necessary to provide a brake handle device and an electric tractor with convenient operation and high safety.
The brake handle device is mounted on an electric tractor body, wherein the electric tractor body includes a driving motor, a wheel assembly, a power supply and a frame; the wheel assembly is connected with the driving motor; the driving motor is used for driving the wheel assembly to rotate; the power supply is electrically connected with the driving motor, and is used for supplying power to the driving motor; the frame is connected to the wheel assembly; and the frame is provided with a handlebar. The brake handle device includes:
In one of the embodiments, the brake handle device further includes a rotating shaft; and the wrench is rotatably connected with the seat body by the rotating shaft.
In one of the embodiments, the wrench includes:
In one of the embodiments, the wrench further includes a lug which is connected with the cam, wherein one end of the elastic piece is sleeved on the lug.
In one of the embodiments, the brake handle device further includes an outer cover, which is arranged on the seat body and surrounds the seat body to form a closed mounting space, wherein the microswitch and the elastic piece are accommodated in the mounting space; and the wrench is partially accommodated in the mounting space.
The electric tractor includes:
In one of the embodiments, the electric tractor further includes a protective piece which is arranged outside a handlebar.
In one of the embodiments, the frame further includes a support rod assembly connected with the handlebar, wherein the support rod assembly can be opened or folded so that the length of the support rod assembly can be adjusted.
In one of the embodiments, the support rod assembly includes a plurality of support rods connected in sequence, wherein each support rod is sequentially arranged along an axial direction of the support rods when the support rod assembly is in an opened state; and at least two adjacent support rods are arranged side by side along the axial direction perpendicular to the support rods when the support rod assembly is in a folded state.
In one of the embodiments, the support rod can rotate relative to another support rod adjacent to the support rod to open or fold the support rod assembly.
The brake handle device provided by the present invention is mounted on the electric tractor body; and when the electric tractor body is required to work, the wrench is held to drive the wrench to rotate in the direction close to the handlebar, so that the wrench presses the braking part into the main body part for a preset length, and then the microswitch is controlled to conduct the electric connection between the power supply and the driving motor, thereby implementing that the power supply supplies power to the driving motor. When the electric tractor body is required to stop working, only the wrench needs to be released to make the wrench rotate and reset in the direction far from the handlebar under the driving of the elastic force of the elastic piece and to separate the wrench from the braking part, so that the braking part is elastically reset relative to the main body part, and then the microswitch is controlled to disconnect the electric connection between the power supply and the driving motor, thereby implementing that the power supply stops supplying power to the driving motor. Therefore, the user can control the microswitch to conduct or disconnect the electric connection between the power supply and the driving motor without directly touching the microswitch by holding or releasing the wrench of the brake handle device provided by the present invention, thereby greatly improving the use safety of the electric tractor body and having the advantages of convenient operation and high safety.

The wrench 230 is held to drive the wrench 230 to rotate in the direction close to the handlebar 141, so that the wrench 230 presses the braking part 224 into the main body part 222 for a preset length, thereby controlling the microswitch 220 to conduct the electric connection between the power supply 130 and the driving motor 110. The wrench 230 is released to make the wrench 230 rotate and reset in the direction far from the handlebar 141 under the driving of the elastic force of the elastic piece 240 and to separate the wrench 230 from the braking part 224, so that the braking part 224 is elastically reset relative to the main body part 222, thereby further controlling the microswitch 220 to disconnect the electric connection between the power supply 130 and the driving motor 110.
The brake handle device 200 provided by the present invention is mounted on the electric tractor body 100. When the electric tractor body 100 is required to work, the wrench 230 is held to drive the wrench 230 to rotate in the direction close to the handlebar 141, so that the wrench 230 presses the braking part 224 into the main body part 222 for a preset length, and then the microswitch 220 is controlled to conduct the electric connection between the power supply 130 and the driving motor 110, thereby implementing that the power supply 130 supplies power to the driving motor 110. When the electric tractor body 100 is required to stop working, only the wrench 230 needs to be released to make the wrench 230 rotate and reset in the direction far from the handlebar 141 under the driving of the elastic force of the elastic piece 240 and to separate the wrench 230 from the braking part 224, so that the braking part 224 is elastically reset relative to the main body part 222, and then the microswitch 220 is controlled to disconnect the electric connection between the power supply 130 and the driving motor 110, thereby implementing that the power supply 130 stops supplying power to the driving motor 110. Therefore, the user can control the microswitch 220 to conduct or disconnect the electric connection between the power supply 130 and the driving motor 110 without directly touching the microswitch 220 by holding or releasing the wrench 230 of the brake handle device 200 provided by the present invention, thereby greatly improving the use safety of the electric tractor body 100 and having the advantages of convenient operation and high safety.
