Abstract

Device for motorizing a golf trolley. The invention provides motor-driven equipment which can be easily mounted and removed. The device consists of a frame (1), wherein is mounted an electric motor (2) connected to a gear reducer (3), a through shaft (4) driving two wheels (9), the ends of the shaft rotating in wheels mounted on ball bearings (10). A housing is provided on the central body of the frame for receiving the battery (6) supplying the motor. The entire device is rapidly connectable to the trolley (0) by rapid fastening means (8) comprising lugs with pins, holes or hooks (Fig. 3). A triangle (11) is connected to a central vertical trolley member by a rapid clamping device (12). The triangle confers excellent rigidity to the unit and prevents the frame (1) from tilting. The golf trolley is driven by two wheels (9), the speed being regulated by the variable speed gear (5) located near the trolley handle.

Description

DISPOSITIF MOBILE PERMETTANT LA
MOTORISATION D'UN CHARIOT DE GOLF MANUEL
La présente invention est relative à un dispositif mobile comportant un moteur électrique qui fait tourner deux roues du type "bandage large" le tout permettant simplement la motorisation d'un chariot de golf de type manuel, quelle que soit la marque, auquel on aura enlevé ses roues d'origine.MOBILE DEVICE FOR THE
MOTORIZATION OF A MANUAL GOLF TROLLEY
The present invention relates to a mobile device comprising an electric motor which rotates two wheels of the "wide bandage" type, all allowing the simple motorization of a manual type golf cart, whatever the brand, from which it will have been removed. its original wheels.

On connait des chariots de golf motorisés souvent utilisés dans de nombreux golfs, mais ceux-ci ont les désavantages d'être non pliables, encombrants, lourds et peu maniables sur le terrain.We know of motorized golf carts often used in many golf courses, but these have the disadvantages of being non-collapsible, bulky, heavy and unwieldy on the ground.

On s'est alors orienté vers une solution pratique et économique celle de pouvoir motoriser facilement tous les chariots de golf pliables et sans transformation particulière. De plus cette solution a l'avantage de conserver un chariot léger, pliable, peu encombrant et d'un coût peu élevé, I'ensemble étant d'une très grande manoeuvrabilité.We then turned to a practical and economical solution, that of being able to motorize easily all the foldable golf carts and without any particular transformation. In addition, this solution has the advantage of keeping a light, foldable, space-saving and inexpensive carriage, the assembly being very maneuverable.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux, le but de la présente invention est de motoriser en un temps très court n'importe lequel des chariots de golf de type manuel.According to an advantageous embodiment, the object of the present invention is to motorize any of the manual type golf carts in a very short time.

En fonction de la marque du chariot le système d'attache pourra changer, il viendra se fixer à la place des roues, par un axe, un orifice ou un crochet, afin de permettre au chariot de venir s'agripper sur le dispositif à moteur, l'entraînement de tout l'ensemble se faisant par les deux roues. Un variateur de courant est placé tout près de la poignée pour permettre de régler la vitesse de déplacement. Depending on the brand of the trolley, the attachment system may change, it will be fixed in place of the wheels, by an axis, an orifice or a hook, in order to allow the trolley to grip onto the motor device. , the drive of the whole assembly being done by two wheels. A current variator is placed very close to the handle to allow the speed of movement to be adjusted.

L'invention sera mieux comprise à l'étude d'un mode de réalisation pris à titre d'exemple nullement limitatif et décrit par les figures suivantes: - la figure 1 est une vue en perspective transparente et éclatée du dispositif
non installé.The invention will be better understood on studying an embodiment taken by way of nonlimiting example and described by the following figures: - Figure 1 is a transparent and exploded perspective view of the device
not installed.

- la figure 2 est une vue en perspective transparente de l'ensemble motorisé
installé.- Figure 2 is a transparent perspective view of the motorized assembly
installed.

- la figure 3 est une vue en détail des variantes du système
d'attache rapide.- Figure 3 is a detailed view of the system variants
quick coupler.

- la figure 4 est une vue en détail de la roulette de tete.- Figure 4 is a detailed view of the head wheel.

En référence aux figures 1 et 2 le chassis (1) constitue la base principale de l'ensemble, sa forme allongée lui permet de contenir un moteur (2), un réducteur (3) et un arbre traversant (4), une électronique de régulation de vitesse (5) est logée à côté du moteur. Sur le corps central du chassis (1) et dans un logement prévu à cet effet, une batterie (6) est maintenue par une sangle. De part et d'autre du corps central les parties cylindriques du chassis reçoivent des glissières (7) sur lesquelles viennent se visser les pattes des systèmes d'attache rapide (8). (voir les différentes pattes d'attache Fig. 3)
L'assemblage du dispositif sur le chariot manuel est des plus faciles.With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the chassis (1) constitutes the main base of the assembly, its elongated shape allows it to contain a motor (2), a reduction gear (3) and a through shaft (4), electronics for speed control (5) is located next to the motor. On the central body of the chassis (1) and in a housing provided for this purpose, a battery (6) is held by a strap. On either side of the central body, the cylindrical parts of the chassis receive slides (7) onto which the lugs of the quick coupling systems (8) are screwed. (see the different attachment tabs Fig. 3)
The assembly of the device on the manual cart is very easy.

Le chariot manuel qui possède des montants mobiles (0) se déploient lorsque l'on ouvre ce chariot (1) et permettent aux axes ou orifices qui sont aux extrémités des montants de venir s'ajuster dans les axes ou orifices des pattes mobiles (8).The manual carriage which has movable uprights (0) deploy when this carriage is opened (1) and allow the axes or orifices which are at the ends of the uprights to come to fit in the axes or orifices of the movable legs (8 ).

En fonction des divers empatements rencontrés sur des chariots (0) de marque différente, I'ajustement pourra se faire par les pattes mobiles (8) vissées aux glissières (7).Depending on the various wheel bases encountered on trolleys (0) of different brand, the adjustment can be made by the movable legs (8) screwed to the slides (7).

La figure 1 illustre la disposition des différents organes-moteurs de l'ensemble. Un moteur électrique (2) est couplé à un boitier réducteur de vitesse (3) I'ensemble étant vissé sur la partie centrale du chassis (1) - à la sortie du boitier (3) un arbre (4) en prise directe de transmission, entraine les deux roues (9). Le différentiel de ces roues est assuré par des roulements à billes (dit roues libres combinées). Les deux extrémités de l'arbre tournent dans les roulements à billes (10). Un triangle (11) est relié au montant central du chariot par une pince à serrage rapide (12). Le triangle (11) assure une bonne rigidité de l'ensemble et empêche le chassis (1) de basculer. FIG. 1 illustrates the arrangement of the various motor members of the assembly. An electric motor (2) is coupled to a speed reduction unit (3), the assembly being screwed onto the central part of the chassis (1) - at the outlet of the unit (3) a shaft (4) in direct transmission connection , drives the two wheels (9). The differential of these wheels is ensured by ball bearings (known as combined freewheels). Both ends of the shaft rotate in the ball bearings (10). A triangle (11) is connected to the central upright of the carriage by a quick clamp (12). The triangle (11) ensures good rigidity of the assembly and prevents the chassis (1) from tilting.

L'entraînement du chariot de golf est ainsi fait par les deux roues (9) du type "bandage large".The drive of the golf cart is thus made by the two wheels (9) of the "wide bandage" type.

Le réglage de la vitesse est obtenu par le variateur de vitesse (5) qui vient se fixer près de la poignée du chariot.The speed adjustment is obtained by the speed variator (5) which is fixed near the handle of the carriage.

Selon une variante illustrée fig. 4 une roulette de tête (13) peut venir se fixer au chassis par un système de potence mobile. De nombreuses améliorations peuvent être apportées à ce dispositif dans le cadre de cette invention. According to a variant illustrated in fig. 4 a head caster (13) can be fixed to the chassis by a mobile stem system. Many improvements can be made to this device in the context of this invention.
