Abstract

A folding scooter, including a handle assembly, a support plate assembly, a seat and a connecting assembly. The seat is detachably provided on the support plate assembly. The connecting assembly is configured to achieve the rotational connection between the handle assembly and the support plate assembly. The connecting assembly includes a connecting plate, a hinge shaft and a fixing plate. In this application, the hinge shaft is located below the support plate assembly, such that when the folding scooter is folded, the rotational axis of the handle assembly is located below the support plate assembly, thereby enabling the handle assembly to closely cling to the support plate assembly.

Claims (24)

1 . A folding scooter, comprising:

a handle assembly;

a support plate assembly;

a seat; and

a connecting assembly;

wherein the seat is detachably provided on the support plate assembly;

the connecting assembly is configured to achieve rotational connection between the handle assembly and the support plate assembly; the connecting assembly comprises a connecting plate, a hinge shaft and a fixing plate; the hinge shaft is located below the support plate assembly; the fixing plate is fixedly arranged relative to the support plate assembly, and is connected to the hinge shaft; and a first end of the connecting plate is connected to the handle assembly, and a second end of the connecting plate is articulatedly connected to the hinge shaft;

the handle assembly is configured to rotate around the hinge shaft with the connecting plate in a direction close to or away from the seat to allow folding or unfolding of the handle assembly relative to the support plate assembly; and

the support plate assembly is provided with an opening; and the connecting plate passes through the opening to be articulatedly connected with the hinge shaft.

2 . The folding scooter of claim 1 , wherein a number of the connecting plate is two, and the two connecting plates are arranged spaced apart.

3 . The folding scooter of claim 1 , further comprising:

a locking member;

wherein the locking member is configured to lock or unlock the connecting plate relative to the fixing plate.

4 . The folding scooter of claim 1 , wherein the handle assembly comprises an upright column, a handle provided on the upright column, a first front wheel and a second front wheel; the first front wheel and the second front wheel are both rotationally provided at a bottom of the upright column; and an end of the connecting plate away from the hinge shaft is connected to the upright column.

5 . The folding scooter of claim 4 , wherein the handle assembly further comprises a first connecting member and a second connecting member; the first connecting member and the second connecting member are articulatedly connected to the bottom of the upright column, respectively; an axis of the first connecting member and an axis of the second connecting member are respectively at an angle to an axis of the upright column; and the first front wheel is rotationally arranged at the first connecting member, and the second front wheel is rotationally arranged at the second connecting member.

6 . The folding scooter of claim 5 , further comprising:

a spring damping plate;

wherein a first end of the spring damping plate is connected to the first connecting member, and a second end of the spring damping plate is connected to the second connecting member.

7 . The folding scooter of claim 4 , wherein the upright column comprises a fastening member, an upper column portion and a lower column portion; the upper column portion is articulatedly connected with the lower column portion; the handle is provided on the upper column portion, and the first front wheel and the second front wheel are rotationally provided at a bottom of the lower column portion; the upper column portion is configured to rotate relative to the lower column portion in a direction close to or away from the seat so as to make the handle close to or away from the seat; and the fastening member is configured to achieve locking or unlocking of the upper column portion relative to the lower column portion.

8 . The folding scooter of claim 7 , wherein an end of the support plate assembly away from the handle assembly is provided with a hanging assembly; and the hanging assembly is configured for connection with an external transport structure.

9 . The folding scooter of claim 8 , further comprising:

a hook; and

a hanging rod;

wherein the hook is connected to the connecting plate; the hanging rod is connected to a bottom of the support plate assembly; and the hook is configured to be hung on the hanging rod when the handle assembly is folded relative to the support plate assembly.
