Patent number: 11851113Abstract: A self-stabilizing vehicle includes a mass gyroscope which is fixed at an occupant compartment chassis corresponding to a portion where occupants sit. The occupant compartment portion may tilt outwards in response to the centrifugal force. If the vehicle has three or more wheels, the load is evenly distributed on the left wheel and the right wheel which move oppositely up and down about an effectively centrally-mounted shaft pin. Further, the present disclosure proposes a method for operating the self-stabilizing vehicle. According to the self-stabilizing vehicle and the operating method thereof, a vehicle having a narrow body may be used. When the vehicle undergoes external forces such as the centrifugal force and the crosswind, the occupant compartment can maintain the vertical stability even though the wheels may slide sideways.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2022Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: DAHON TECH (SHENZHEN) CO., LTD.Inventor: David Tak Wei Hon

Patent number: 11313411Abstract: A folding device for folding or disassembling rigid objects is provided with engaged toothed rows on opposing surfaces of two connecting plates. Opposite surfaces of protruded teeth of the toothed rows are provided with toothed grooves meshing with each other. When a locking mechanism perpendicular to a direction of the toothed rows is locked, the two connecting plates are driven by the locking mechanism to move toward each other in opposite directions along a pulling rod, so that the toothed grooves on the toothed rows tightly engage with one another, and the two connecting plates are pressed tightly and fixedly connected. When the folding device is in a connected state, meshing surfaces of the two connecting plates tightly mesh with each other through the corresponding toothed grooves, so that the two connected parts are combined together to form a whole rigid combination.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2017Date of Patent: April 26, 2022Assignee: DAHON TECHNOLOGIES.
