Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, Embodiment 1 of the invention is expounded below:


In this embodiment, the folding mechanism is applied to an electrical scooter. Thus, the first folding body 1 shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 can also be referred to as a folding saddle which is locked on a frame of the electrical scooter with bolts, the second folding body 2 can also be referred to as a folding cover which is fixed to a vertical bar of the electrical scooter, and the folding saddle and the folding cover rotate upwards or downwards by means of a folding pin 8 to form a hinge structure. The folding mechanism in this embodiment is specifically as follows:


A folding mechanism comprises a first folding body 1, a second folding body 2 and a first clamping piece, wherein the first folding body 1 is rotatably connected to the second folding body 2 through a folding pin 8, a second clamping piece is arranged on the second folding body 2, and the first folding body 1 is connected to the first clamping piece; and when the first folding body 1 and the second folding body 2 are unfolded, abutting parts of the first clamping piece are clamped in the second clamping piece, and a gap is formed between a non-abutting part of the first clamping piece and the second folding body.


Wherein, in the case where the folding mechanism in this embodiment is applied to the electrical scooter, when the first folding body 1 and the second folding body 2 are unfolded, the vertical bar is unfolded on the frame, so that the whole electrical scooter is in a serviceable condition; at this moment, the first clamping piece is clamped in the second clamping piece to fix the first folding body 1 and the second folding body 2, and the vertical bar and the frame are fixed, accordingly. When the electrical scooter is not used, the first clamping piece and the second clamping piece are released to allow the vertical bar to rotate onto the frame along with the second folding body 2, so that the whole electrical scooter is folded. Therefore, compared with existing folding mechanisms of electrical scooters, the folding mechanism in this embodiment has a few parts and is simple and practical in structure.


Considering that the existing folding mechanisms may be worn or deformed or come loose after being used for a period of time and hence may shake when folded, the gap is reserved between the non-abutting part of the first clamping piece and the second folding body in this invention, that is, a space is reserved to allow the first clamping piece to be further clamped in the second clamping piece to be kept in the clamped state, so that shakes will not be caused even if the abutting parts are worn or deformed or come loose.


Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, Embodiment 2 of the invention is expounded below:


In this embodiment, the folding mechanism is applied to the electrical scooter. On the basis of Embodiment 1, the folding mechanism in this embodiment is specifically as follows:

In this way, when the knob 6 is screwed along the screw rod 5, the U-shaped clamping piece 3 will be squeezed to move towards the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4 until the two ends of the U-shaped clamping piece 3 are respectively clamped in the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4; at this moment, the screw rod 5 and the connecting part 11 will be kept in threaded connection in the absence of an external force, so that the two ends of the U-shaped clamping piece 3 will be always clamped in the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4, and the vertical bar and the frame are kept in the serviceable condition. In other equivalent embodiments, the screw rod 5 is connected to the connecting part 11 and the knob 6 as follows, as a substitution: one end of the screw rod 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 11, and the other end of the screw rod 5 penetrates through the U-shaped clamping piece 3 to be connected to the knob 6 in a threaded manner; and in this case, the screw rod 5 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 11, and the knob 6 needs to be screwed on the screw rod 5 to squeeze the two ends of the U-shaped clamping piece 3 to be respectively clamped in the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4. It can thus be seen that in other equivalent embodiments, the two ends of the U-shaped clamping piece 3 can be clamped in the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4 in other locking and limiting manners.


As shown in FIG. 2, an elastic gasket 7 is arranged between the knob 6 and the U-shaped clamping piece 3 to prevent the knob 6 from getting loose, wherein the elastic gasket 7 is a rubber gasket in this embodiment and can be any other elastic sheets such as wavy gaskets in other embodiments. In the case where the folding mechanism is applied to the electrical scooter, the elastic gasket can prevent the knob 6 from getting loose even if the electrical scooter vibrates and bumps when being ridden under a complicated road condition for a long time.


As shown in FIG. 2, a limit ring 51 is arranged on the screw rod 5 to limit the relative displacement of the U-shaped clamping piece 3, and the outer diameter of the limit ring 51 is greater than the diameter of a fixing hole 36, which is formed in the U-shaped clamping piece 3 to allow the screw rod 5 to penetrate through, so that the U-shaped clamping piece 3 is clamped between the limit ring 51 and the knob 6.


As shown in FIG. 4, the whole folding mechanism is further limited in position as follows: the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4 are axially symmetric with each other when the first folding body 1 and the second folding body 2 are unfolded, the screw rod 5 and the connecting part 11 are both located between the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4, and the screw rod 5 penetrates through the center of the U-shaped clamping piece to be connected to the center of the knob 6, that is, the whole folding mechanism is axially symmetric at the folding position.


From the above description, in the case where the folding mechanism in this embodiment is applied to the electrical scooter, when the first folding body 1 and the second folding body 2 are unfolded, the vertical bar is unfolded on the frame, so that the whole electrical scooter will be in a serviceable condition; and at this moment, the first folding body 1 and the second folding body 2 are folded, and the U-shaped clamping piece 3 is clamped in the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4 by means of the knob 6. When the electrical scooter is not used, the U-shaped clamping piece 3 is unscrewed from the first clamping groove 13 and the second clamping groove 4 by means of the knob 6, and the vertical rod rotates onto the frame along with the second folding body 2, so that the whole electrical scooter is folded. Therefore, compared with existing folding mechanisms of electrical scooters, the folding mechanism in this embodiment has a few parts, is simple and practical in structure and better in connection stability and safety, and can prevent the knob 6 from getting loose.
