200303190 (1) 玖、發明說明 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係有關供予尤其爲年長(高齡)者或腳有殘疾 (殘廢)者所要利用之四輪小型電動車輛者。 【先前技術】 此種小型電動車輪乃被稱呼爲年長者車輛(R ),而 作爲替代年長者之腳極具有高的利用價値。如此之小型電 動車輛的基本性結構,乃例如設置了乘座者所要坐之座位 於車體後部,而在其前方配設了乘坐者載置腳用的底板, 再在其前方豎立配設操縱前輪用之轉向(方向)軸,且安 裝有轉向盤(把手)於轉向軸上端,而形成乘坐者坐在座 位來操作該方向盤。 作爲如前述之小型電動車輛的轉向(操縱)機構,例 如在日本國專利實開平5 - 76422號公報,揭示有固定左 右操縱把手基端於固定在轉向軸上端之支板上的構造。而 左右之操縱把手乃構成爲從克承板朝側方突出之同時,從 途中朝座位側彎曲,且使操縱把手端部分成爲朝內側筆直 地展延形狀。而且配設把手於左右操縱把手中之朝內側筆 直展延的前端部分,並成平行地配設加速桿於一方把手。 亦即,構成各抓握左右操縱把手桿之把手來實施操作操縱 把手,也就是作成爲如用於抓握對於乘坐員成平行部分用 的一桿型式的操縱把手來進行操作操縱把手。 又作爲如前述之小型電動車輛的轉向機構’有例如左 -5- (2) (2)200303190 右則輪爲堅固,而具有擺動軸於車輛中心部的型式者。於 該型式者係成爲從轉向軸安裝繫桿於一方關節臂,並從該 處展延配設繫桿至另一方關節臂之構造。在於該構造時, 雖可獲取較大的操縱手柄(轉向)轉動角度,但並不能適 用於前輪爲左右獨立懸吊式者。通常,在於左右獨立懸吊 式者時’會設置臂於中央之轉向軸,並採取從該臂展延配 设繫桿的構造。再者,該構造時,臂長因無法構成爲較長 ’使得具有無法能獲得太大的操縱把手之轉向角度等的問 題。 【發明內容】 (發明擬解決之課題) 然而,如前述用於抓握對於乘坐員成平行之部分的操 縱把手之操作時,因手腕的角度會維持成一定,使得手腕 會產生疲倦之情事等。又在轉向操縱把手時,其中之一方 抓握部分會從乘坐員側遠離,以致乘坐員必需伸長該一方 側之手,使得無法以舒服的姿勢來操作操縱把手。再者, 操縱把手桿因成固定性地安裝,以致隨著乘坐員之體格等 而操縱把手桿會成爲遠離,使得乘坐員之姿勢會成爲彎下 上身來抓握操縱把手桿的形態,因此,也具有會損壞操作 性之虞。 又作爲用於解決所謂在於左右獨立懸吊式時並無法得 到長的臂長度之問題,以最近所周知之轉向(駕駛)機構 ,有一種配置繫桿於轉向軸的臂上下者。然而,於如此之 -6- (3) (3)200303190 轉向機構時,因配置了繋桿於上下,因此會形成限制用於 設計吊桿臂等之自由性。 本發明係鑑於如此之實情而擬提供一種具備有優異於 使用性或操縱(駕駿)性能等的操縱裝置之小型電動車輛 爲其目的者。 (解決課題用之手段) 本發明之小型電動車輛係具備有:支承於車架上之單 一座位;在前述單一座位下方前面舖設於前述車架上的底 板;豎立配設於前述底板前部的轉向軸;作爲由操作配設 於前述轉向軸上端之轉向把手而可朝左右擺動之轉向控制 輪來配設於前述底板前方的前輪;作爲以動力組所驅動之 驅動輪而配設於前述單一座位下方後部的後輪;及用於供 電力給予前述動力組用之電力供應源的小型電動車輛,其 特徵爲:具備有:在前述轉向軸上端朝後方展延所配設之 轉向把手支承部;及具有直線桿部和從前述直線桿部左右 兩端略成圓弧狀展延的側方桿部之轉向把手,而能在前述 轉向把手支承部上,支承成令前述轉向把手的直線桿部以 前述直線桿部爲軸可朝前後方向轉動前述轉向把手。 又本發明之其他的小型電動車輛,係在支承於車體車 架上之單一座位下方前方,具有舖設於前述車體車架上的 底板,且由作爲可由操作把手而朝左右擺動之轉向控制輪 予以配設於前述底板前方的左右一對前輪’及作爲由動力 組所驅動之驅動輪予以配設於前述單一座位下方後部的左 -7- (4) 200303190 右一對後輪來構成爲可行走,並具備用於操 對前輪用之操縱裝置於前述車體車架前端部 輛,其特徵爲:於前述操縱裝置,將支承操 動於上端之同時,藉由繫桿臂及關節臂且由 前述底板前端部朝上方突出的轉向軸,和藉 可朝左右方向外側擺動於朝左右方向外側展 臂外側端部之前輪轉向關節,而前述繫桿臂 係配置成以挾持連結前述主銷軸心相互間的 相反方向突出。 【實施方式】 (發明之實施形態) 圖1〜圖5係顯示本實施形態之小型電 結構。本實施形態係一種四輪之小型電動車 在包括車體車架之車架組100前後部,各支 前輪1及後輪2。前輪1係由前輪支承機構 而後輪2則由後輪支承機構3 00所支承。 在於車架組1 〇〇之靠後部側乃支承著構 個人之乘坐員用的單一座位的座位組4 0 0。 單一座位下方前方具有舖設於車體車架 乘坐貝載置腳用底板之底板平板3。 而在車架組100前面部具有作爲由操作 左右擺動用之轉向控制輪的前輪1用之操縱 5 00。 縱前述左右一 的小型電動車 縱把手成可轉 繫桿來連結從 由主銷支承成 延配設的吊桿 及前述關節臂 軸線來互相朝 動車輛的整體 輛的例子,將 承左右一對之 200所支承, 成爲hS乘坐1 上之低底板的 把手而操縱朝 (轉向)機構 (5) (5)200303190 於本例子,後輪2乃構成作爲驅動輪,而形成爲由包 括配設於單一座位下方後部之電動機的動力組600所驅動 〇 在於底板平板3下側,將配置具備有作爲用於供電力 給予動力組600用之電力供應源的二次電池(蓄電池)之 電池組700。 首先,將詳細說明有關車架組1 00。車架組1 00係也 參照圖6〜圖8下,乃由構成車底盤部分用的車體車架101 和支承轉向把手等用之轉向架102所構成,而車體車架 101乃包括有主車架103和後車架104。主車架係由中央 車架部105和展延配設於中央車架部105前方之前(面) 車架部106所構成。 主車架1 03乃包括有在左右兩側朝前後方向所配置之 一對主車架構件107,而主車架構件107係在中央車架部 1 05及車架部1 〇6的界線附近形成如圖8等所示逐漸變狹 窄之形狀。主車架構件1 07雖理想爲以接角(有角)管材 料來形成,但並不限定於此而已,也可由C (凹)槽材料 或圓形管材料等來形成。無論使用那一種,主車架構件 107具有一定之高度(上下方向的厚度)。又在各主車架 構件附設有朝外側方突出的例如由圓筒材料所形成的搬運 (用)把手1 1 1。 又在本實施例,將在主車架構件1 07朝橫向架設有3 個橋式跨接構件1 〇 8、1 0 9、1 1 0於其前端部和中央車架部 105與前車架部106之邊界附近及後端部,以確保主車架 (6) (6)200303190 103之剛性,橋式跨接構件i〇8、109係如圖7所示,予以 彎曲形成朝下方突出,以配置將後述之前輪支承機構的底 座構件於橋式跨接構件1 〇 8、1 〇 9上。再者,在實在的車 輛係如圖7所示,主車架103爲形成適當地提高前面而成 爲傾斜狀態,但該時前輪支承機構之底座構件乃被支承成 大致成水平。 轉向架102係也如顯示於圖9,配設4支管材(料) 1 02成豎立支承於前車架部1 〇6前端部內側成一體。轉向 架102雖從前車架部1〇6(主車架構件1〇7)成垂直豎立 ’但如前述’主車架103因形成提升前面的傾斜狀,因而 ’轉向架1 0 2會適當地朝卓一*座位側傾斜。再者,轉向架 1 0 2理想爲由接角管材來形成。 後車架1 04係從各主車架構件1 〇7後端部附近配置成 朝後面上方傾斜,且由搬運把手i丨2來互相結合於各後端 部。而在後車架1 04之前後方向之大致中間予以橫向架設 槪略爲拱狀(弧狀)或梯形狀的橋式跨接構件1丨3,並在 橋式跨接構件1 1 3上部安裝有支承座位組400用之座(位 )柱1 1 4。後車架1 〇4或橋式跨接構件1丨3雖理想爲由接 角管材(料)所形成,但並不限定於此而已,也可由c槽 材(料)或圓管材(料)來形成。又在後車架丨〇4後端部 予以橫向架設彎曲形成爲朝下方突出的橋式跨接構件1 i 5 〇 接著’詳細說明有關前輪支承機構200。前輪支承機 構2 00乃支承前輪1成旋轉自如且可擺動,包括有:作爲 (7) (7)200303190 保持於前車架部1 0 6之支承部的底座構件2 01 ;固定於底 座構件201上之吊桿臂托架202 ;及由吊桿臂托架202支 承成可朝上下方向擺動自如,且從車輛左右方向中央部朝 外側展延配設之同時,能在外側端部支承前輪1成旋轉自 如用的吊桿臂203。 在此,主要由該前輪支承機構200而構成會在將後述 之電池箱前方,具有朝左右展延遍及左右前輪1的相對向 間,且較該電池箱朝下側突出之由剛性構件所形成的突出 構造。亦即,該突出構造係如圖1〜圖5或圖7等所示, 由朝前車架部106下方突出所配置構成之底座構件201、 吊桿臂托架202及吊桿臂203等所形成,而由於具有如此 突出構造於電池箱前方且在下方側,以致構成爲作爲車輛 之電源裝置具有重要功能的電池箱之障壁或防護手段,使 得能有效地保護緻密的電源裝置。再者,雖朝前車架部 106下方突出之突出構造,但在實在之車輛,底板3因配 設成前面提高的傾斜狀(參照圖7),因而,並不會朝下 方展出,可有效地確保最低之地上高度。 於前述支承機構200,也予以參照圖9,在於主車架 103之橋式跨接構件ι〇8、1〇9上所配置之底座構件201上 ’對於左右之吊桿臂203各個配設有前後2個的吊桿臂托 架202。各吊桿臂203乃呈現朝前後分岐之兩股狀,而該 所分岐的2個基端(內側端)乃由前後之2個的吊桿臂托 架202支承軸成可旋轉。且在吊桿臂2〇3前端,將以軸支 承^字狀的關節成可旋轉。又在關節204配設車軸205成 (8) (8)200303190 水平展延’並支承前輪1於該車軸2〇5成旋轉自如。 而在則車架部1 〇 6外側,予以固定用於安裝架設懸吊 彈簧206用的托架207,以組裝懸吊彈簧2〇6於該托架 207和吊桿臂203 (分岐成兩股狀中之前方側)之間。 接著’詳細說明有關後輪支承機構3〇〇。後輪支承機 構3 0 0係與動力組6 0 0協動來支承後輪2。該時,動力組 600包括有電動機及連結於其輪出軸用的減速齒輪群,而 最後階段之齒輪的支承軸,將作爲後輪2的車軸3 01。動 力組600前端側,將藉由固定於主車架構件丨〇7後端之托 架3 0 2 (爹照圖1〜圖3等)來樞支承。而動力軸6 〇 〇後端 側係與減震器3 0 3下端側下端成連結。減震器3 0 3上端則 藉由固定於後車架104後端的托架304來樞支承。再者, 減震窃303也可爲利用壓縮螺旋彈賛或油壓等者。 接著,詳細說明有關座位組400。座位組400,將以 槪略成L字狀來結合以接角管材等所形成之座墊架40 1及 後座架402而成一體化,且座墊架401作成略水平來支承 於座位柱1 1 4上。該狀態時,座位組400係支承成可朝左 右轉動,且在其轉動途中,能選擇性地固定在複數的角度 位置。 將作爲彈性體所構成之座墊403安裝於座墊架401, 又作爲彈性體所構成之靠背404乃安裝於靠背架402。並 在靠背架402的適當高度位置,將支承臂靠405成可轉動 。而坐在如圖3之支承於座位柱1 1 4上之座位組400的乘 坐員,能使腳載置於底板平板3上,且形成時可以腳踏配 -12- 200303190 Ο) 置於底板平板3前部附近的腳踏煞車4。 將說明單一座位之轉動支承機構的結構例。如圖1〇 所示,結合有底座托架406於座墊架401下方側,且在該 底座托架406垂下座管407。另一方則嵌合了管支撐408 座位柱,而形成嵌合座管407於該管支撐408內成可旋轉 由而座墊架401,亦即單一座位會成爲可朝左右轉動。再 者,管支撐(座位支撐)408也可構成對於座柱114成可 裝卸。 又在底座托架406予以固定具有軸承409之桿支撐 4 1 〇於其前部。軸承409插穿有旋轉軸4 1 1,且旋轉軸4 11 予以朝外側展延配設並予以適當地彎曲而形成桿部4 1 2。 在於旋轉軸4 1 1固定有從開口配設於底座托架406之開口 4 1 3朝下方突出的爪片4 1 4。而由操作桿部,就可令爪片 414轉動。爪片414具有能與將後述之止動板的齒卡合之 孔414a。另一方面,管支撐408上端固定著止動板415, 且在止動板4 1 5外周部,以適當的角度間隔配設複數之齒 4 1 6。而各齒4 1 6兩側乃作爲離隙而予以切除,由而可與 爪片414成爲卡合。 以插入座管407於管支撐408而使單一座位被支承於 座柱1 1 4上。該時,以操作桿部4 1 2來使爪片4 1 4與所期 盼之齒產生卡合,就能使單一座位形成選擇性地固定於所 期盼的角度位置。 接著,詳細說明有關操縱(轉向)機構500。於操縱 機構500,將在轉向架102內側,藉由複數之支撐器(夾 (10) (10)200303190 持具)502來保持轉向軸501旋轉自如。轉向軸501上端 配設有轉向把手5 05。轉向軸501在途中予以分割而藉由 萬向接頭503來連結,且上側之轉向軸乃朝著單一座位側 傾斜。因此,成爲可確保廣闊之底板空間之同時,可配置 轉向把手505成靠近於單一座位。 圖11、12係顯示轉向把手505周圍的斜視(立體) 圖。轉向把手505係具有直線桿部505 S及從直線桿部 505S左右兩端成圓弧狀展延的側方桿部505L、505R,呈 現前部有缺口之變形U字狀。 在於轉向軸50 1上端側面,配設有朝後方展延,且從 途中朝上方彎曲之轉向把手支承部512。而固定有夾緊構 件5 1 3於轉向把手支承部5 1 2前端。夾緊構件5 1 3具有貫 穿孔於左右,而分割爲上下兩個,且該下側之夾緊構件 5 1 3 a乃熔接於轉向把手支承部5 1 2前端,而上側之夾緊構 件5 1 3 b乃藉由螺桿5 1 4來扣接於下側之夾緊構件5 1 3 a。 轉向把手5 05的直線桿部5 05 S之中央乃由前述夾緊構件 5 1 3來夾持而予以支承。因此,以鬆弛螺桿,就可令轉向 把手505以直線桿部5 05 S爲軸來轉動(參照圖中箭標記 R ),使得可調節轉向把手5 05成爲卧倒或豎立而形成所 期盼的角度。 如前述將在從轉向軸501軸線上朝單一座位側偏位之 位置所支承之轉向把手5 0 5成卧倒狀態,亦即,如圖12 所示令轉向把手對於轉向軸501形成垂直狀態時,轉向把 手5 0 5之中心會與轉向軸5 0 1之軸線略爲一致。 (11) 200303190 又在轉向把手505左右之側方桿部505L、505R 熔接等來朝內側且略朝下方固定有托架5 1 5。而由該 架5 1 5來支承加速機構底板部504兩側。以如此所固 加速機構底板部504,將成爲位於轉向把手側側且形 於略深處。 在於加速機構底板部504左右兩側,配設有加速 而加速桿506係作成略〕字狀,且使開口側朝下方之 下,令一方側邊部506a會在加速機構底板部504側 分各別支承成轉動自如。而另一方的側邊部506b則 操作桿部來配置於轉向把手505之側方桿部505L、 下方且對於該側方桿部505L、505R略成平行。因此 成爲抓握轉向把手5 05的側方桿部505L、505R之同 能操作轉動加速桿506。再者,倘若配合於轉向把手 的側方桿部505L、505R來使加速桿506之另一方側 5 0 6b作成略圓弧狀時,即使在抓握轉向把手505 5 05L、5 05R之上部或下部的狀態時,也可成爲容易 操作加速桿506。 在於加速機構底板部504的兩側部分,將配設: 加速桿5 0 6側邊部5 0 6 a成旋轉自如用之夾持具5 1 6 ; 加速桿506之轉動且予以放大用的齒輪組517 ;連繫 輪組5 1 7之小齒輪的加速感測器5 1 8 ;及用於維持加 5 06從轉向把手505側脫離狀態(加速成斷開狀態) 未圖示之彈簧等。並構成爲以抓握左右之任一加速桿 側邊部506b且反抗於彈簧而以側邊部506a爲軸來旋 ,由 等托 定之 成位 桿。 狀態 方部 作爲 505R ,能 時, 505 邊部 側方 轉動 支承 偵測 於齒 速桿 用的 506 轉操 (12) (12)200303190 作時,該轉動會藉由齒輪組5 1 7而傳達至加速感測器5 ! 8 ,並發送信號至主控制器7。 將回到說明有關操縱機構5 0 0乙事,在於前車架部 106之各主車架構件107前端部內側,安裝有托架507, 且在該托架5 0 7上,配設有支承轉向軸5 0 1下端成旋轉自 如用的突面。而在托架507上之轉向軸501後側,配設有 具有會與配設在轉向軸501下端的齒輪嚙合之齒輪的對軸 (counter shaft) 508。而固定繫桿臂509於對軸508,以 在朝左或右旋轉轉向軸5 1 0時,會使繫桿臂509藉由對軸 5 0 8來朝左或右轉動。 於各前輪1,固定於關接204之關接臂510和繫桿臂 5 09係藉由繫桿5 1 1來互相連結。而以朝左右旋轉轉向把 手5 05時,將藉由對軸508,繫桿臂509及繫桿511來操 縱前輪1朝右或左。以如此的來配設對軸5 0 8,就能操縱 前輪1朝著與轉向把手505之旋轉方向成同一方向。該狀 態時,倘若適當地選擇轉向軸501側之齒輪和對軸508側 之齒輪的齒輪比,就能適當地設定操縱(轉向)角度及操 縱力。 接著,詳細說明有關動力組600。動力組600係如前 述,將與後輪支承機構300協同來支承後輪2。將後述之 電池組700係供予電力於動力組600而驅動電動機601用 者。 接著,詳細說明有關電池組700。電池組700,將在 如圖8所示之底板(或稱爲底板平板)3之主要區域且沿 -16- (13) (13)200303190 著兩側緣部所配置車架相互間,予以收容具有與該車架高 度略相等高度的電池箱701,而在該電池箱701內予以排 列配設複數之二次電池(蓄電池)702。於圖示之例子乃 以前後兩列且在同一平面上來排列複數之二次電池702。 而底板3係由位於較前輪1爲後方且具有與前輪1之 左由相對向間隔略成相等寬度的主底板部5,及較前輪1 之左右朝相對向間隔爲狹小且以較主底板部狹窄之廣度朝 主底板部5前方所展延設置的前(側)底板6所構成。底 板3之主要區域係由主底板5所構成,而電池箱701乃配 置於此一部分。 又,前述之主車架103之中央車架部105係沿著主底 板部5之左右兩側緣部來朝前後展延。前車架部1 06係以 較前輪1之左右相對向間隔爲小的相對向間隔來朝中央車 架部105前方展延配設。於本實施例,將配置電池箱701

乃形成爲所謂之疊貨物之情況爲多,以致在該狀態下會成 爲相當龐大。而在本實施形態則如前述具備有左右一對之 前輪1,而可形成主底板部5成爲具有與前輪1之左右相 -17- (14) (14)200303190 對向寬度略相等寬度的大面積,因此,可在同一平面且以 前後兩例來排列合計1 6個的二次電池702。而令二次電 池7 02寬度(直徑)成爲在於與主車架構件107的高度相 等或少微高之程度,就能設定電池之裝載空間成爲極爲薄 〇 於電池箱701底部,具備有如圖14所示之形成爲符 合於二次電池702外形的複數凹凸狀之保持部。而作爲該 保持部,在本實施形態將形成複數的半月狀肋70 1 a。如 前述因排列二次電池702成同一平面,因而需要固定成不 會由振動等而使二次電池702在電池箱701產生移動。爲 此,以配設半月狀肋701a來使二次電池702能正確地固

電池)間產生容量差或電位差所用,而配設成對於電池箱 701底部成垂直。以如此地來配設電池控制器703成垂直 於前(面)懸吊周圍之零件和二次電池702同時,就可有 效地活用前後方向的空間。再者,電池控制器703即使配 設成垂直,也由於實在的車輛上’底板係配置成朝上方提 -18- (15) (15)200303190 高之傾斜狀,因而並不會朝下方突出(展出),使得可有 效地確保最低之地上高度。 如圖14或圖15所示,在電池箱701上部配設有覆蓋 用之平板狀之蓋704。蓋704乃具有與電池箱701上部開 口成匹配的形狀,且從其下面周緣部予以配設垂下之複數 爪片704a。而在電池箱701乃以對應於爪片704a來配設 複數的卡合部701e,並以卡合爪片704a於卡合部701 e來 固定蓋704。再者,在於電池箱701和蓋704之疊合部, 將組裝[密合]墊片而使水或塵埃等不會侵入於電池箱7 〇 i 內。以覆蓋固定蓋704於收容有二次電池702的電池箱 701而構成電池或電池包裝(裝匣)。 又也如在圖1 5所示,將在電池或電池裝匣上側,亦 即蓋704上側,予以配置底板平板3。底板平板係以形成 藉由間隔件來載置於電池相7 0 1安裝部7 0 1 b上的形狀, 而由小螺絲等來安裝於該主車架構件1 〇7。該時會配設該 安裝用小螺絲之插穿孔3 a於底板平板3之周緣部之同時 ’在於安裝部7 0 1

invention relates to a four-wheeled small electric vehicle for use especially by elderly (senior) people or people with disabilities (disability). [Prior art] This type of small electric wheel is called an elderly vehicle (R), And as a substitute for the elderly, it has a very high price. The basic structure of such a small electric vehicle, For example, the seat for the occupant is set at the rear of the car body. In front of it, there is a floor for occupants' feet. A steering (direction) shaft for controlling the front wheels is erected in front of it, A steering wheel (handle) is installed on the upper end of the steering shaft. Instead, the occupant is seated to operate the steering wheel. As the steering (manipulation) mechanism of the small electric vehicle as described above, For example, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-76422, A structure in which the base ends of the left and right operating handles are fixed to a support plate fixed to the upper end of the steering shaft is disclosed. The left and right handles are configured to protrude from the bearing plate to the side, From the way to the seat side, In addition, the end portion of the joystick is extended straight inward. And it is equipped with a handle on the front part of the left and right operating handles that extends straight inward, An acceleration lever is arranged in parallel on one handle. that is, The handles of the left and right joysticks are constituted to implement the operation handles, That is, the joystick is operated as a lever-type joystick for grasping a parallel portion for an occupant. As a steering mechanism of a small electric vehicle as described above, there are, for example, left -5- (2) (2) 200303190, and the right wheel is solid, A model with a swing axis at the center of the vehicle. In this type, the tie rod is attached to the one articulated arm from the steering shaft, From there, the structure of the tie rod to the other articulated arm is extended.

For the example shown in the figure, it is assumed that the axis centerline of the left wheel (steering angle α) that is inside the vehicle's rotation center is Ml, and the centerline of the main axis of the right front wheel (steering angle ^) that is to be outside the vehicle's rotation center Suppose it is M2, and it is related to the centerline of the kingpin that is parallel to the vehicle centerline c and the centerline of the axle] y [! The inner steering angle (0 ~ 9 °) is changed, and the intersection of the axle centerline M2 and the straight line Mh is plotted at each angle to obtain the Ackerman theory line P. FIG. 22 shows the steering device of the present invention. When the front wheel 1 is operated to the left, the steering angle α of the left front wheel 1 and the steering angle of the right front wheel 1 are changed in the same manner as the above-mentioned Ackerman theoretical line P is obtained. 3 (α = 0., 15., 30., 45., 60 ..... and / 3 = 0., 15 .., 30 °, 45 °, 60 ° ... .) Corresponding to the Ackerman theory line P. In this state, the swing angle of the articulated arm 5 10 is changed by turning the tie rod arm 509, and the point is plotted at the intersection of the axis centerline M2 of the Ackerman theoretical line P and the straight line M! ' The intersection point Po, Pυ, P30, P45, P6 of each steering angle ^ and the angle of the steering angle Θ changes by 15 °. ,......By. It can be seen from the figure that until the steering angle ^ = about 80 °, it is slightly consistent with the Ackerman theoretical line P. -25- (22) 200303190 According to the legal specifications of this type of electric vehicle, it is determined to be superior to the entire length of 1 200mm and the entire width of 700mm or less. When a four-wheel vehicle is formed under this condition, each wheel will form a vehicle. Four horned owls. In order to walk narrow passages, etc., it is necessary to control the steering angle. In the present invention, an articulated arm 510 'is provided forward from the joint 204 and extended toward the rear from the steering shaft 501. When the tie bar arm 509 and the articulated arm are arranged in this way, when the straight line is advanced (see FIG. 18), the angle between the tie bar line and the axis in the front-rear direction of the vehicle can be set to an acute angle, thereby determining the maximum steering angle. . In addition, even if the steering angle inside the front wheel 1 is left and right (see FIG. 20), the steering angle can be slightly along the Ackerman theoretical line p. As described above, the angle of the front-back direction axis of the tie bar 5 when traveling in a straight line is set to an acute angle, so that the angle of the front-back direction axis of the articulated arm 5 10 can be formed to face in the left-right direction of the vehicle. Therefore, even if the large articulated arm 5 1 0 and the front wheel 1 can be ensured, it can be used to support the pivoting pin 208 of the joint 204 close to 1 and the friction radius (offset of the king pin) can be set to a smaller one. When the friction radius becomes smaller, the vehicle's maneuverability or stability can be improved. Furthermore, since a 501 protruding upward from the front end portion of the floor plate 3 can be arranged in front of the vehicle, a wide floor plate 3 can be secured, and the floor plate 3 can be used. At this time, the steering shaft 501 is arranged to form a relatively large shaft, and when it is forward, a wider floor 3 can be formed. It is regulated by gears 5 24, 5 2 5 as a means of connection. If it is configured to ensure a generous extension and set the tie bar 510, the 511 axis is guaranteed to be 80. Come to shift and open the gap on the side of the vehicle and the vehicle to the front wheels. To make sex. Steering shaft can be effective. Spring steering shaft (23) (23) 200303190 5 0 1 and tie rod arm. In this state, by setting the reduction ratio of these gears appropriately, steering (driving) operability can be improved. For example, female seniors with weak arm strength can reduce the reduction ratio and can drive with a small amount of handle operation. In the case of men, if the reduction ratio is made large, the steering angle of the front wheels can be made large with a small steering angle, that is, a quick operation feeling can be obtained. Although the present invention has been described in conjunction with various embodiments, the present invention is not limited to only those embodiments, and can be modified within the scope of the present invention. For example, although the foregoing embodiment has described an example in which the left and right direction indicator switches and the horn buttons are arranged in the switch box 10, it can also be configured as shown in FIG. 16 with the left and right direction indicator switches 5 1 9 or speakers The button 5 20 is fixed to a bracket 515 of the steering handle 505. Therefore, the left and right direction indicator switches 5 1 9 or the horn button 520 can be operated without releasing the hand from the steering handle 505. As another example, the tie rod arm 509 is divided into two along its center line so that the left and right can function separately, and a small electric vehicle such as a so-called electric chair can be rotated at the place. At this time, since the handle is continuously operated while maintaining rotation at the place, it is necessary to provide a mechanism for temporarily stopping the rotation at the place so that the left and right front wheels are formed in an "eight" shape. (Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a small electric vehicle provided with a steering device that is superior in usability, controllability, and the like. -27- (24) (24) 200303190 That is, in this type of small electric vehicle, the steering handle is supported at a position deviated from the axis on the steering shaft toward the single seat side, and the steering handle The side levers with arc-shaped extensions at both ends allow the occupant to grasp the side levers of the steering handlebar with natural feeling for handle operation. The steering handle is supported to turn in the front-rear direction, so it can be tilted down or erected so that it can be adjusted to the desired angle in accordance with the physique of the occupant, which can further improve the operability. Also in such small electric vehicles, a large maximum steering angle can be ensured, and the steering angle is shifted slightly according to the Ackerman theory line. Therefore, even if the rotary motion is performed, the tire can be prevented from slipping sideways, so that excessive load is not given to the structure, and tire wear can be effectively suppressed. When the arrangement relationship of the tie bar arm, the articulated arm, and the tie bar is set appropriately and ideally, not only can the vehicle have maneuverability or stability, but also a wide floor can be ensured, so that the floor can be effectively used. Furthermore, when the gear reduction ratio connecting the steering shaft and the tie arm is appropriately set, there are advantages such as improved steering operability and the like.
