Folding mechanism reliability and anti-wear process of foldable electric mobility scooters

Foldable electric mobility scooters are very popular in the current travel market due to their portability advantages. Whether it is the daily travel of the elderly or the outing of people with limited mobility, they can greatly improve the convenience of travel. However, frequent folding operations put forward strict requirements on the reliability and anti-wear performance of the folding mechanism, which is directly related to the service life of the foldable scooter and the safety of users.

In terms of the reliability of the folding mechanism, the selection of materials is the key foundation. Suzhou Heins Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. has been deeply involved in the field of electric vehicles for 9 years. Its 20,000 square meters of modern production base adopts a mixed process of aviation aluminum and carbon fiber. This experience is also applicable to foldable electric mobility scooters. Aviation aluminum has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. It can reduce the weight of the vehicle body while ensuring the structural strength of the folding mechanism and withstand various stresses in daily use; carbon fiber has excellent fatigue resistance, which can effectively deal with fatigue damage caused by frequent folding, greatly improving the reliability of the folding mechanism. In addition, in structural design, reasonable geometric shapes and connection methods are crucial. The common folding mechanism adopts hinge connection. To enhance its reliability, it can be designed as a composite hinge structure with multi-axis linkage. This structure can disperse the force and avoid single-point stress concentration. Just as Suzhou Heins Medical Equipment Co., Ltd. pays attention to the rationality of functional layout in product design, the composite hinge structure optimizes the force transmission path to ensure that the folding mechanism remains stable in long-term use and reduce the risk of damage caused by unreasonable structure.

Anti-wear technology is of great significance to extend the service life of the folding mechanism. Surface treatment technology is one of the important means of anti-wear. The hard chrome plating process can form a hard and wear-resistant chrome layer on the metal surface of the folding mechanism, just like putting a layer of solid armor on the parts, effectively resisting the wear caused by friction. Equipped with high-end equipment such as German TRUMPF laser cutting machine and Japanese Yaskawa robot welding station, it has advanced processing capabilities, can accurately control the thickness and uniformity of hard chrome plating, and ensure the quality of surface treatment. In addition, chemical coating technology is also widely used in the field of anti-wear. By coating a special wear-resistant coating on the surface of the parts, the surface friction coefficient can be reduced, and the direct contact and wear between the parts can be reduced. These coating materials have good self-lubricating properties and can effectively protect the surface of parts even in the absence of lubrication.

In addition to surface treatment, reasonable lubrication design is also an important part of wear prevention. Special lubrication channels and oil storage structures are set up in key active parts of the folding mechanism, such as hinge shafts, connecting pins, etc., to ensure continuous supply of lubricants and reduce friction between parts. With an efficient supply chain management system, it can ensure a stable supply of high-quality lubricants, and strictly control the lubrication process during the production process to ensure that each part is fully lubricated. At the same time, some parts are made of self-lubricating materials, such as using oil-containing bearings instead of traditional metal bearings. These self-lubricating materials can slowly release the lubricant stored inside during use, achieve long-term self-lubricating effects, and further reduce wear.

In actual use, the reliability and wear resistance of the folding mechanism are also affected by the use environment and operation mode. For different use environments, the folding mechanism of the folding electric mobility scooter needs to have certain protection capabilities. In humid and dusty environments, sealing design is essential. By installing waterproof and dustproof sealing rings at the gaps of the folding mechanism, it is possible to effectively prevent moisture, dust and other impurities from entering, and avoid performance degradation caused by corrosion and wear. A complete quality management system is established, and the folding mechanism will be strictly tested for sealing before the product leaves the factory to ensure that it meets the requirements of various use environments. In addition, the correct operation method can also effectively extend the service life of the folding mechanism. Users should follow the operating specifications of the product manual during use to avoid improper operations such as violent folding and excessive force. When the product is delivered, detailed training and guidance will be provided to customers to help them master the correct operation methods and reduce damage caused by human factors. From research and development to production, Suzhou Heins Medical Equipment Co., Ltd.'s technical patents cover motor control, folding structure, all-terrain suspension system, etc. Its research and development strength provides strong support for the reliability and anti-wear process of the folding mechanism of the foldable electric scooter. In the research and development stage, the folding mechanism is simulated and analyzed through computer-aided engineering (CAE) technology, which can predict the stress distribution and wear of the structure in advance, thereby optimizing the design scheme. During the production process, strict quality inspection procedures are carried out throughout the process. Each batch of products must undergo strict inspections to ensure that the performance indicators of the folding mechanism meet industry standards. The company has passed the ISO quality and environmental management system certification, which is not only a recognition of its quality management capabilities, but also ensures the stability and consistency of the folding mechanism of the foldable electric mobility scooter during the production process.
