Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric two-wheeled motor vehicles, and in particular to a shared bicycle that is convenient to dock. Background Art

[0002] Shared bicycles use mobile phone scanning to control the unlocking and locking of electric bicycles. In densely populated cities, shared bicycles have been put into mature use. They not only reduce the pressure on young people to buy bicycles and alleviate traffic congestion, but are also low-carbon and environmentally friendly.

[0003] However, when docking and undocking a shared bike, the side handlebars must be moved away from the front of the bike. Many office workers wear high heels and leather shoes, and frequently using leather to move the handlebars can easily scratch the outside of the shoes, even tearing the leather and causing damage to the rider. Furthermore, in the summer, women wearing sandals can easily injure their toes, further impacting the shared bike user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to facilitate the foot-based docking and undocking of shared bicycles, the present application provides a shared bicycle that is easy to dock.

[0005] This application provides a shared bicycle with convenient docking, which adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A shared bicycle with convenient docking comprises an electric motorcycle body and a side docking mechanism, wherein the electric motorcycle body comprises a front portion, a rear portion, and a pedal board connecting the front portion and the rear portion, and the side docking mechanism comprises a footrest, a connecting rod, a support plate, a supporting half gear, and a driving half gear, wherein the support plate is fixed to the bottom of the pedal board, one end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support plate via a first rotating shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the top end of the footrest via a second rotating shaft, and the length directions of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are parallel to the length direction of the electric motorcycle body;

[0007] The supporting half gear is fixed to the supporting plate, the driving half gear is fixed coaxially with the second rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft is fixed to the top of the footrest, the driving half gear is meshed with the supporting half gear, the horizontal height of the first rotating shaft is higher than the horizontal height of the second rotating shaft; and a driving mechanism is also included to drive the connecting rod to rotate around the first rotating shaft;

[0008] When the connecting rod rotates downward, the driving half gear is driven to rotate by the supporting half gear, and the footrest rotates closer to the footrest plate; when the connecting rod rotates upward, the driving half gear is driven to rotate by the supporting half gear, and the footrest rotates away from the bottom of the footrest plate, and the end of the footrest away from the second rotation axis is tilted downward toward the side of the motorcycle body;

[0009] The driving mechanism includes a connecting arm and a limiting column and a sliding block fixed at both ends of the connecting arm. The connecting rod is provided with a slotted portion, and a driving groove is provided on the slotted portion, and the notch of the driving groove faces upward; a limiting groove for sliding of the limiting column is provided at the bottom of the driving groove;

[0010] A movable groove is provided upwardly through the bottom of the footrest, the connecting arm passes through the movable groove, and the projection of the driving groove on the horizontal plane is located in the movable groove; the sliding block is slidably arranged on the top surface of the footrest, and the sliding direction of the sliding block is the direction away from or close to the two sides of the motorcycle body.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding block controls the rotation of the connecting rod, thereby controlling the rotation of the drive half-gear on the support half-gear, thereby driving the footrest to rotate. The footrest rotates toward the footrest and then retracts into the bottom surface of the footrest. When the footrest is tilted downward, the footrest supports the motorcycle body. Because the first rotation axis is located at a higher height than the second rotation axis, the connecting rod is tilted. When the sliding block slides within the movable slot, the limit post simultaneously slides within the limit slot, causing the limit post to move away from or toward the second rotation axis. When the limit post moves away from the second rotation axis, the connecting rod rotates downward, the drive half-gear driven by the support half-gear rotates, and the footrest rotates toward the footrest, allowing the footrest to retract. When the limit post moves toward the second rotation axis, the connecting rod rotates upward, the drive half-gear driven by the support half-gear rotates, and the footrest rotates away from the bottom of the footrest. The end of the footrest away from the second rotation axis tilts downward toward the side of the motorcycle body, allowing the motorcycle to dock. The movement of the sliding block is driven by stepping on the sole of the foot, so that the footrest can be retracted and extended without using the side of the foot to move the footrest, thereby protecting the shoe surface.

[0012] Optionally, the driving mechanism also includes a driving component that drives the sliding block to slide back and forth, and the driving component includes a driving motor and a driving screw. The driving screw is threadedly connected to the sliding block, and the length direction of the driving screw is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding block. The driving motor drives the driving screw to rotate; the driving motor is powered by the battery of the electric motorcycle body, and a button for controlling the start and close of the driving motor is provided at the front of the motorcycle.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, it is only necessary to press the button to drive the motor to drive the screw rod to rotate, thereby causing the sliding block to slide, and the rotation of the footrest can be automatically controlled to achieve automatic retraction and extension of the footrest. There is no need to kick the footrest with the side of the foot, which naturally will not injure the shoe surface or toes, making it convenient to use the footrest. At the same time, due to the setting of the driving screw rod, it is convenient to control the sliding speed of the sliding block, thereby achieving slow retraction and extension of the footrest, preventing the speed from being too fast and injuring the motorcycle user.

[0014] Optionally, a protective shell is fixed to the top surface of the foot pedal, and the drive motor, drive screw and sliding block are located in the protective shell.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the protective case has the functions of dustproofing and protecting. The protective case protects the drive motor, drive screw and sliding block from damage caused by collisions. At the same time, when riding, the operation of the starter motor is not affected when the foot is placed on the footrest.

[0016] Optionally, an anti-fouling ring tube is fixed to the bottom surface of the foot pedal, and the side walls on both sides of the width of the anti-fouling ring tube slide in contact with the groove portion, and the two side walls in the length direction of the anti-fouling ring tube are spaced apart from both sides of the anti-fouling ring tube.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, dust and sewage are easily splashed when riding. By providing an anti-fouling ring, the sewage is not easily splashed and enters the limit groove, so that the limit column can slide smoothly in the limit groove.

[0018] Optionally, a guide rod is provided on the top surface of the foot pedal, and a guide hole for the guide rod to slide is opened on the sliding block.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding rod slides in the length direction of the guide rod, and the guide rod improves the sliding stability of the sliding block.

[0020] Optionally, a first positioning surface is provided on the bottom surface of the footrest, and a second positioning surface is provided on the driving half gear. When the end of the footrest away from the second rotating shaft is tilted downward toward the side of the motorcycle body, the first positioning surface abuts the second positioning surface.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface are set, so that when the footrest is docked, the first positioning surface and the second positioning surface are in contact and then the force is unloaded, thereby reducing the force strength of the supporting half gear and the driving half gear, thereby protecting the supporting half gear and the driving half gear.

[0022] Optionally, stabilizing plates are provided on both sides of the support plate, the meshing portion of the supporting half gear and the driving half gear is located between the two stabilizing plates, and the stabilizing plates are in sliding contact with both sides of the driving half gear.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the stabilizing plate limits the driving half gear to prevent the driving half gear from separating from the supporting half gear, thereby preventing someone from accidentally kicking the footrest of the motorcycle away from the front of the motorcycle when it is parked for the first time, causing the driving half gear and the supporting half gear to separate.

[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] 1. By setting up a side docking mechanism and a driving mechanism, the sliding block is driven to move by stepping on the sliding block with the sole of the foot, so that the footrest can be retracted and extended, without having to use the side of the foot to move the footrest, thereby protecting the shoe upper.

[0026] 2. By setting a drive motor, a drive screw and a button, the footrest can be automatically retracted and extended, making it convenient to dock the motorcycle;

[0027] 3. By providing a stabilizing plate, the driving half gear and the supporting half gear are not easily separated, thereby improving the connection stability between the driving half gear and the supporting half gear. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 This application is described in further detail.

[0037] The embodiment of the present application discloses a shared bicycle that is convenient for docking. Figure 1 The shared bicycle for easy docking includes a motorcycle body 1 and a side docking mechanism 2. The motorcycle body 1 includes a front 11, a rear 12, and a footrest 13 connecting the front 11 and rear 12. The footrest 13 is used to place the rider's feet during riding. The side docking mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the footrest 13.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The side parking mechanism 2 includes a footrest 21, a connecting rod 22, a support plate 23, a support half gear 24, and a drive half gear 25. The support plate 23 is fixed to the bottom of the footrest 13, the plate surface of the support plate 23 is vertical, and the length direction of the support plate 23 is perpendicular to the length direction of the motorcycle body 1.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 4 One end of the connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support plate 23 away from the motorcycle front 11 via a first rotating shaft 3, and the other end of the connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to the top of the footrest 21 via a second rotating shaft 4. The lengths of the first and second rotating shafts 3 and 4 are parallel to the length of the motorcycle body 1. The first and second rotating shafts 3 and 4 are of the same size. The horizontal height of the first rotating shaft 3 is higher than the horizontal height of the second rotating shaft 4 by 2-3 cm, so that the end of the connecting rod 22 near the second rotating shaft 4 is tilted downward.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 A support half gear 24 is fixed to the support plate 23 and is located at the end of the support plate 23 near the second rotating shaft 4. The second rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 22. A drive half gear 25 is coaxially fixed to the second rotating shaft 4 and is also fixed to the top of the support foot 21. The length of the second support foot 21 is perpendicular to the length of the second rotating shaft 4. The drive half gear 25 meshes with the support half gear 24.

[0041] Reference Figure 2The shared bicycle for easy docking also includes a drive mechanism 5 that drives the connecting rod 22 to rotate slightly about the first rotation axis 3. In this embodiment, the rotation angle of the connecting rod 22 is 8-15 degrees. The drive mechanism 5 includes a connecting arm 51 and a limit column 52 and a sliding block 53 fixed at both ends of the connecting arm 51. The connecting rod 22 is fixed with a slotted portion 6, which is fixed to the top surface of the connecting rod 22. The top surface of the slotted portion 6 is defined by a drive slot 61, with the notch of the drive slot 61 facing upward and the length direction of the drive slot 61 being perpendicular to the length direction of the connecting rod 22.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 5 , limiting grooves 62 for the limiting column 52 to slide are opened on both sides of the bottom of the driving groove 61. The cross-section of the driving groove 61 is smaller than the cross-section of the limiting groove 62, so that the limiting column 52 is limited in the limiting groove 62, and the length direction of the limiting column 52 is parallel to the length direction of the second rotating shaft 4.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 6 A movable slot 131 extends upward through the bottom of the footrest 13, and the projection of the drive slot 61 on the footrest 13 is located within the movable slot 131. A connecting arm 51 extends through the movable slot 131, with a sliding block 53 secured to the top end of the connecting arm 51 and a retaining post 52 secured to the bottom end of the connecting arm 51. The sliding block 53 is slidably connected to the top surface of the footrest 13, and the sliding direction of the sliding block 53 is a direction away from or toward the sides of the motorcycle body 1.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 6 The drive mechanism 5 further includes a drive assembly 54 for driving the sliding block 53 to slide back and forth. The drive assembly 54 includes a drive motor 541 and a drive screw 542. A mounting plate 543 is fixed to the top surface of the footrest 13. The end of the drive screw 542 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 543. The drive screw 542 is threadedly connected to the sliding block 53. The length direction of the drive screw 542 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding block 53.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The driving motor 541 drives the driving screw 542 to rotate. The driving motor 541 is fixed to the top surface of the foot pedal 13. The rotating shaft of the driving motor 541 is coaxially fixed with the driving screw 542. The driving motor 541 is powered by the battery of the motorcycle body 1. A button 111 for controlling the opening and closing of the driving motor 541 is provided at the front of the motorcycle 11.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 7 When the connecting rod 22 rotates downward, the driving half gear 25 is driven to rotate by the supporting half gear 24, and the foot 21 is close to the foot plate 13 (see Figure 6) rotates; when the connecting rod 22 rotates upward, the driving half gear 25 is driven to rotate by the support half gear 24, the foot 21 is rotated away from the bottom of the foot plate 13, the foot 21 is away from the end of the second rotating shaft 4 toward the motorcycle body 1 (see Figure 1 ). When the sliding block 53 slides until the stop post 52 is close to the second rotation axis 4, the connecting rod 22 rotates upward, causing the footrest 21 to tilt downward. When the sliding block 53 slides until the stop post 52 is close to the first rotation axis 3, the connecting rod 22 rotates downward, causing the footrest 21 to rotate close to the footrest plate 13, thereby being stored.

[0047] When the footrest 21 is in a tilted state where the motorcycle body 1 can be docked, press the button 111 to drive the motor 541 to rotate until the footrest 21 reaches the storage state. If the button 111 is pressed again, the drive motor 541 drives the footrest 21 to reach the tilted state where the motorcycle body 1 can be docked, thereby realizing automatic storage and automatic docking of the footrest 21, making it convenient for the use and docking of the motorcycle.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 6 The top surface of the foot pedal 13 is fixed with a protective shell 7 by bolts, and the driving motor 541, the driving screw 542 and the sliding block 53 are all located in the protective shell 7.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The bottom surface of the pedal plate 13 is fixed with an anti-fouling ring 8, a movable groove 131 (see Figure 6 ) and the projection of the driving groove 61 are both located within the anti-fouling ring cylinder 8. When the connecting rod 22 rotates about the first rotating shaft 3, the side walls of the anti-fouling ring cylinder 8 on both sides of the width slide into contact with the opposite side walls of the slot portion 6. The side walls of the anti-fouling ring cylinder 8 in the length direction are spaced apart from the sides of the anti-fouling ring cylinder 8, leaving sufficient space for the displacement of the slot portion 6.

[0050] Reference Figure 6 Two guide rods 9 are fixed on the mounting plate 543. The length direction of the guide rods 9 is parallel to the top surface of the foot plate 13. A guide hole 91 is opened on the sliding block 53 for the guide rods 9 to pass through and slide. The inner wall of the guide hole 91 slides in contact with the outer wall of the guide rod 9, so that the sliding block 53 slides stably.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 4 The bottom surface of the pedal plate 13 is provided with a first positioning surface 132, and the driving half gear 25 is provided with a second positioning surface 251. When the end of the footrest 21 is away from the second rotating shaft 4 and toward the motorcycle body 1 (see Figure 1 ) is tilted downward, the first positioning surface 132 abuts against the second positioning surface 251 to form a support, thereby reducing the force on the supporting half gear 24 and the driving half gear 25, thereby achieving a protective effect.

[0052] Reference Figure 7 The stabilizing plates 10 are fixed on both sides of the support plate 23. The meshing portion of the supporting half gear 24 and the driving half gear 25 is located between the two stabilizing plates 10. The stabilizing plates 10 and the driving half gear 25 are in sliding contact on both sides. The driving half gear 25 is limited between the two stabilizing plates 10 to prevent the driving half gear 25 from detaching from the supporting half gear 24 from the side, thereby improving the connection stability of the driving half gear 25 and the supporting half gear 24.

[0053] The implementation principle of the shared bicycle with convenient docking of the embodiment of the present application is: just press the button 111, the driving motor 541 drives the screw rod 542 to rotate, so as to realize the automatic storage and extension of the footrest 21. There is no need to kick the footrest 21 with your feet, so the shoe upper or toes will not be injured, which makes the use of the footrest 21 convenient. At the same time, due to the setting of the driving screw rod 542, it is convenient to control the sliding speed of the sliding block 53, thereby realizing the slow storage and slow extension of the footrest 21, preventing the speed from being too fast and injuring the motorcycle user.

[0054] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
