Description

A kind of hand-rail type is ridden instead of walk dragon driving
Technical field
The invention belongs to non-maneuver scooters, and in particular to a kind of hand-rail type is ridden instead of walk dragon driving.
Background technology
A kind of scooter vehicles indispensable as people's trip, are widely used general, scooter in daily life Type it is also very various, have bicycle, tricycle, electric vehicle, automobile etc..But existing scooter can only be realized mostly Single function of riding instead of walk, as people's living standard constantly improves, people more focus on amusement, body-building, the generation of simple function Step vehicle can not meet people's needs.
Dragon driving is as fashion toy car by vast teen-age favor.And hand movement belongs to the one of aerobic exercise Kind, preferable body-building function can be played to joints such as the shoulders, elbow, wrist of people.Dragon driving is the left and right by human body waist, buttocks Twisting changes position of centre of gravity to drive imperial driving.Exercisor hand or hands hold handle, make suitable, counterclockwise rotation Turn, each joint of arm can be made effectively to be moved.However, there is certain limitation in the two:The former is mainly in speed There are certain limitations on target user;The simple hand movement of the latter is excessively dull.Therefore, by the movement of above-mentioned dragon driving The body-building function of feature and lower extremity movement combines, and develops a kind of novel scooter for integrating amusement, body-building For public service, there is important practical significance.
Invention content
For existing performance limitation, ride instead of walk dragon driving the object of the present invention is to provide a kind of hand-rail type.The scooter As a source of power with human hand rotation, front-wheel orientation stand is controlled by foot so that dragon driving can slide forward.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme that:
A kind of hand-rail type is ridden instead of walk dragon driving, including a pair of rear wheels, front-wheel, car body, A cabinet frames, power drive mechanism, hand power machine Structure, front-wheel are rotatably attached by front wheel carrier and the car body, and A cabinet frames are horizontally disposed, and head and the car body are rotatable Ground is connected, and a pair of rear wheels is rotatably coupled to connect by a pair of rear wheels frame and the two legs arm of the A cabinet frames, rear wheel frame and A The axial line of the rotary shaft of cabinet frame leg arm is in vertical direction with an inclination angle;Hand-operated mechanism is connected with power drive mechanism, passes through Human hand drives the hand-operated mechanism that the power drive mechanism is swung back and forth, so that the pair of trailing wheel swings back and forth It advances.
Preferably, hand-operated mechanism and the power drive mechanism include handle, it is rocking bar, bent axle, incomplete bevel gear a, non- Complete bevel gear b, A cabinet frame, bearing block;Handle, rocking bar, bent axle constitute crank and rocker mechanism, incomplete bevel gear a and incomplete Bevel gear b intermeshings, A cabinet frames are fixedly connected with the incomplete bevel gear b on perpendicular by axis, and a pair of of hand crank is passed through The rocking bar of crank and rocker mechanism that driving and hand crank are connected directly of alternately fluctuating in perpendicular is swung, and then is driven The dynamic incomplete bevel gear a connect that is indirectly connected with rocking bar is rotated, and incomplete bevel gear b directly drives A cabinet frames in turn and swings back and forth.
Preferably, hand-operated mechanism and power drive mechanism include crank, guide rod, sliding block, bevel gear a, bevel gear b, a pair Hand crank;The hand-operated mechanism is connected with oscillating guidebar mechanism, sliding block and its tail portion of A cabinet frames of the oscillating guidebar mechanism One word crossbeam is slidably connected, and the bevel gear a and bevel gear b intermeshings, the bevel gear a are fixedly connected with trunnion axis, institute It states bevel gear b to be fixedly connected with vertical axes, fluctuate driving and hand crank is replaced in perpendicular by a pair of of hand crank The bevel gear a and bevel gear b rotations, bevel gear b and then the crank machine for driving oscillating guidebar mechanism being directly or indirectly connected Structure rotates.
Preferably, hand-operated mechanism and the power drive mechanism include turntable, crank, guide rod, sliding block;Crank, guide rod, cunning Block forms oscillating guidebar mechanism, and sliding block and a word crossbeam of its tail portion of A cabinet frames are slidably connected;Turntable is fixed with crank one end to be connected It connects;Turntable is rotated by hand or hands, A cabinet frames or so reciprocally swinging is driven by oscillating guidebar mechanism.
Preferably, hand-operated mechanism and the power drive mechanism include turntable, crank, rocking bar;Crank, rocking bar form crank Rocker device;A word crossbeam hinge connection of the rocking bar one end with its tail portion of A cabinet frames;Turntable is fixedly connected with crank one end;Pass through Hand or hands rotate turntable, and A cabinet frames or so reciprocally swinging is driven by crank and rocker mechanism.
Preferably, further including support wheel carrier, one end of the support wheel carrier is fixedly connected with the car body, the other end and branch Support wheel rotatable connection.
Further, A cabinet frames swing arm subtended angle is α, and the amplitude of fluctuation of A cabinet frame cabinet frame swing arms exists+In α/2.The range of α 60 ~ 100 degree.
Preferably, A cabinet frame swing arm subtended angles are 100 degree, the amplitude of fluctuation of A cabinet frame cabinet frame swing arms exists+In 50 degree.
Further, the core wheel of front-wheel is not on the rotation axis of front wheel carrier.Through this structure, front-wheel is a kind of biasing Wheel, can also provide the power of advance while rotation direction, can compensate for trailing wheel because of power when certain reason can not move ahead not The problem of foot.
Working principle of the present invention is as follows:
The present invention with human hand rotation by as a source of power, controlling A cabinet frame swing arms or so reciprocally swinging, when swing arm is put So that trailing wheel is deviateed equilbrium position when dynamic, it is made to deflect certain angle around axis, inclines since wheel carrier axis exists with endways direction Angle can make wheel have the tendency that returning to equilibrium state, and the effect of both this produces required stiction when wheel advances. The direction of front-wheel is controlled by foot.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has the advantages that following substantive distinguishing features outstanding and notable:
The present invention as a kind of Novel scooter, it is easy to operate, both remained dragon driving light and flexible, amusement and recreation spy Point, and possess the dynamic body-building function of hand transhipment, and the vehicles of the elderly's trip are can be used as, being one kind having body-building, stops Not busy, amusement is in the scooter of one.
