Description

The utility model relates to vehicles and can be used for installation on scooters, other single-track and narrow-track vehicles and personal mobility devices to protect the user from adverse weather conditions and injuries during operation [B62J1/00, B62J17/08, B62J17/00, B62K11 /00].

A VEHICLE is known from the prior art [ES 1255805, publ. 06.11.2020], on which two seats are installed, arranged in such a way that the first driver's seat is located in front of the second seat, characterized in that: the first seat contains a backrest; the second seat rests on a structure in the form of a longitudinal passenger compartment; that the sides of the structure are covered with a durable sheet, the edge of which contains fasteners; the fixing elements are zippers and/or magnets; the rear part of the structure carries a trunk; the trunk contains a waterproof elastic coating; the trunk is a U-shaped frame; the seats have a heating system; the backrest has a smaller section in contact with the seats.

Also known is a SCOOTER WITH AN OPEN CAB IN THE REAR [JP 2007284030, publ. 01.11.2007], which has a compartment that covers the passenger at the front, top and sides with a transparent windshield and body cover, while the passenger enters and exits from the open rear part of the vehicle body. The part of the body cover that covers the sides of the passengers is slightly cut off at the rear end for easy entry and exit, and the lower part is designed to allow passengers to place their feet on them or on the ground when the scooter is stopped. The spacer that supports the body cover is located at the very rear of the scooter and does not interfere with getting on and off. The tonneau cover may be of solid construction, but the struts may not be present.

A common disadvantage of these analogues is the leakage of the structure, since the structural elements covering the sides do not ensure complete closure of the doorway, which worsens the operational characteristics of vehicles in adverse weather conditions.

Also known is a PROTECTIVE REMOVABLE CABIN FOR ELECTRIC SCOOTER [US 2016052582, publ. 02/25/2016], which has several universal production systems, including a chassis consisting of tubes covered with a system of individual panels of clear flexible vinyl, with the panels individually attached around the frame tubes using various fastening systems, the system consists of two sliding door panels of clear flexible vinyl containing a magnetic lock system, two different systems of individual scooter elements with perforated adapters welded on top of their elements attached to the scooter, two different systems of narrow rails mounted on the floor of the scooter, two different systems forming the rear lower part of the scooter, a support tube system chassis attached to the roof system, removable panels from the supporting chassis pipes are a system for converting the cabin roof into a canopy.

The disadvantage of the analogue is the leakage of the cabin, since the design does not ensure the closure of the bottom of the cabin, which impairs performance in adverse weather conditions.

The closest in technical essence is a TANDEM DOUBLE SEAT OF THE BUILT-IN TYPE AND A COMPLETELY CLOSED MOTORCYCLE BODY DESIGN [CN 202703779, publ. 01/30/2013], the utility model relates to a tandem two-seater and fully enclosed motorcycle body of a built-in type, which is characterized in that the motorcycle body is divided into front and rear parts by a left central pillar, a right central pillar and the front seat is fixed to the middle support crossbar; the front and back are joined together; two sitting cabins are located opposite the doorway; the front seating cabin is protected by a semi-circular structure consisting of the front wall of the motorcycle, the right side wall of the front cabin, the left and right central pillars and the middle support bar; the rear seating cabin is protected by a semi-circular structure consisting of the rear wall of the motorcycle, the left side wall of the rear cabin, the left and right center pillars and the middle support bar; The lower space of the front seat communicates with the footwell of the rear seat.

The main technical problem of the prototype is the inability to safely open the doors while driving, for example when it is necessary to push the user's foot off the surface to increase or maintain speed or to maintain balance, which degrades the performance of the body structure.

The purpose of a utility model is to eliminate the shortcomings of the prototype.

The technical result of the utility model is to increase safety when driving a scooter.

The specified technical result is achieved due to the fact that the scooter cabin contains a frame, a seat is mounted on the frame, right and left doors with transparent side windows, front and rear panels with transparent front glass and rear glass, the doors are fixed in the open position by means of at least one stop mounted to the door hinges, the stops contain tension springs designed to act on the door to close it, the doors contain locking devices, and cushions made of soft material are mounted in the lower part of the doors on the inside of them, designed to ensure opening doors from the inside with the user's foot, bumpers are mounted on the outer surfaces of the doors, and a front window wiper is mounted on the frame.

In particular, the glass contains windows.

In particular, there is a hatch in the cabin roof.

In particular, a front window washer, a heater, a cabin air conditioner, and external lighting devices are mounted on the frame.

Implementation of a utility model

The scooter cabin consists of a spatial frame 1 made of strong horizontal, vertical and diagonal elements. Seat 2 is mounted on frame 1.

The right and left doors 3 are mounted on the frame 1, which contain transparent side windows 4. In various embodiments, the glass 4 contains windows 5, and/or the glass 4 opens completely into or out of the cabin by means of hinges or by means of window lifters (not shown in the figures).

Also mounted on the frame 1 are front and rear panels 6, transparent front glass 7 and rear glass 8. In various embodiments, the rear glass 8 is covered with a panel similar to panels 6, and a hatch is made in the roof of the cabin (not shown in the figures).

In various embodiments, the doors 3, windows 4, 7, 8 and panels 6 are made straight or curved so that the shape of the cabin becomes streamlined.

Door 3 is mounted to frame 1 using hinges 9.

In the embodiment with a door 3 opening to the side, the hinges 9 are mounted on the diagonal elements of the frame 1 next to the connection line between the front panel 6 and the front glass 7 (see Fig. 2a, b), or on the vertical elements of the frame 1 at the level of the rear window 8 (see Fig. 3a,b).

In the embodiment with door 3 opening upwards, hinges 9 are mounted on horizontal elements of frame 1 in the area of the cabin roof (see Fig. 3b). In the same embodiment, the door 3 is made of upper and lower leaves, connected to each other by an axial hinge 10, along the axis of which the door 3 folds when opened upward (see Fig. 3b).

The door 3 is fixed in the upper position by means of at least one stop 11 mounted to the hinge 9 (see Fig. 3b). In one embodiment, to enable the user to push off the surface with his foot to propel the scooter, the stop 11 is additionally mounted to the axial hinge 10 between the upper and lower leaves of the door 3 (see Fig. 3c).

The stops 11 contain tension springs (not shown in the figures), designed to act on the door 3 in order to attract it to the frame 1 and close it.

To lock during movement, doors 3 contain locking devices (not shown in the figures), made mechanical or electromagnetic, powered by the scooter's battery or its own built-in power source (not shown in the figures).

In one of the implementation options, for ease of use of doors 3, handles 12 are mounted on the inside of their lower doors.

To clean the front glass 7, a windshield wiper 13 is mounted on the frame 1, made mechanical or electric and powered by the scooter's battery or its own built-in power source (not shown in the figures).

At the bottom of the doors 3, on the inside, there are cushions 14 made of soft material, designed to open the door 3 from the inside with the user's foot.

Bumpers 15 are mounted on the outer surfaces of the doors 3 and/or horizontal, vertical and diagonal elements of the frame 1 to protect glass and other fragile elements of the frame 1.

In various embodiments, the following elements are mounted on the frame (not shown in the figures): a front window washer 7, a cabin heater and air conditioner, external and internal lighting devices, as well as a luggage compartment mounted under the seat 2 or behind it on the rear panel 6.

The proposed technical solution works as follows.

At the scooter manufacturer, on the basis of specialized body shops, before delivery to rental or sale points, the cabins are installed on scooters (other single-track and narrow-track vehicles and personal mobility devices), in versions with electromagnetic locking devices and/or with electric windshield wipers 13 connect the energy-consuming elements of the cabin to the built-in power source of the cabin (not shown in the figures) or to the scooter’s own power source.

The user opens the door 3, places himself on the scooter standing or on the seat 2, closes the door completely or leaves the lower flap of the door 3 partially open (see Fig. 3c) and sets the scooter in motion. To push off the surface with the foot or, if there is another need to open the door 3, the user acts with his foot on the door 3 through the pillows 14, after which the tension springs (not shown in the figures) mounted on the stops 11 return the door 3 to the closed state.

If the front glass 4 becomes dirty and visibility deteriorates, the user uses the windshield wiper 13.

To provide air access to the cabin, the user opens the windows 5, or the side windows 4 or the hatch in the cabin roof (not shown in the figures).

The specified technical result - increasing safety when driving a scooter - is achieved due to the following factors:

the cabin is sealed, which provides protection from adverse weather conditions;
