Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of motorcycle handlebar protection, in particular to an expansion screw and a plug for a motorcycle handlebar. Background Art

[0002] As a convenient means of transportation and entertainment toy, motorcycles are becoming more and more popular. However, motorcycles are two-wheeled structures, and there is a risk of falling during riding, so handlebar plugs need to be installed to protect the handlebars. Some motorcycle enthusiasts also like to modify their motorcycles according to their own hobbies, especially modifying the handlebar plugs to make the motorcycle beautiful. The handlebar plugs can also effectively absorb the vibration transmitted from the motorcycle to the handlebars. The handlebar plugs, bow guards or handlebar mirrors need to be fixed to the handlebars with special expansion screws. Common expansion screws sometimes become loose.

[0003] Document CN116001956A describes an energy absorbing guard bow and an installation method, which includes a structure and a method for installing the energy absorbing guard bow by means of a recessed slot nut and an inner wedge tube and an outer wedge tube.

[0004] Document CN112628261B describes an expansion screw that can accommodate an expansion tube compression sleeve in a compression sleeve accommodating groove without affecting the locking and fixing of the nut and the normal use of the expansion screw; more importantly, a reserved gap is set between the push rod and the expansion tube and the gasket. In this way, when a gap appears in the wall where the expansion screw is located and the expansion screw is loosened, the push rod can be locked to eliminate the gap in the wall where the expansion screw is located, and then the expansion screw can be fixed to the wall again by tightening the nut.

[0005] The disadvantages of the expansion screws known in the prior art are that the expansion screw concave nut in an energy absorbing guard and installation method is not a standard part and needs to be specially made, which increases the cost of use. When the difference between the outer diameter of the expansion screw and the inner diameter of the handlebar is large, the bolt of the expansion screw will seriously deviate from the center of the handlebar hole. Another expansion screw in document CN112628261B is still locally stressed at the innermost part of the wall, and the stress area is very small. If it is subjected to impact and rotational force, it is still easy to loosen, and it cannot be used in reverse. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The specific implementation of the present utility model is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0046] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-2As shown, a motorcycle handlebar expansion screw and plug installation structure diagram is provided for an embodiment of the utility model. In the figure, an outer wedge 2, an inner wedge 3, a square nut 4 and a bolt 5 are connected in sequence to form an expansion screw. The plug is passed through the bolt 5 and installed on the handlebar 6.

[0047] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the outer wedge 2 and the inner wedge 3 are cylindrical as a whole, and both have a beveled surface 38 with the same bevel angle.

[0048] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the square nut 4 is adjacent to the inner wedge 3 , and the chamfered surface 38 of the outer wedge 2 is closely attached to the chamfered surface 38 of the inner wedge 3 and is connected and installed by bolts 5 .

[0049] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the outer wedge 2 and the inner wedge 3 have the same overall outer radius, and have circular holes with the same radius in the center. Both have a beveled surface 38 beveled from the middle and lower part to the top, and the angles of the beveled surface 38 are consistent.

[0050] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the diameter of the central circular hole of the outer wedge 2 and the inner wedge 3 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 5, and the diameter difference is set to D1.

[0051] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the diameters of the outer wedge 2 and the inner wedge 3 are smaller than the inner diameter of the handlebar 6 hole, and the diameter difference is set to D2.

[0052] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the above D1 should be larger than the above D2, otherwise the expansion screw cannot be tightened.

[0053] like Figure 3 , 9 As shown, when the difference between D1 and D2 is relatively large, the chamfered surfaces 38 of the outer wedge 2 and the inner wedge 3 need to remove sharp corners to prevent the sharp corners from colliding with the plug 1, and at the same time, the height of the short vertical surface 37 is appropriately increased.

[0054] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the surface where the cylinder of the inner wedge 3 is located is set as the bottom surface, and there is a beveled surface 38. The cylindrical surface intersecting the top of the beveled surface 38 is set as a high vertical surface 36, and the opposite is a low vertical surface 37. The height of the low vertical surface 37 should be close to or greater than the height of the square nut 4. If it is too low, the strength is insufficient, and if it is too high, it affects the installation size, especially the impact on the bolt 5 is too great.

[0055] like Figure 2-3As shown, the single wedge 31 is formed by cutting off more than half of the bottom surface of the inner wedge 3 cylinder, and retaining one side of the high vertical surface 36 without being cut off, thereby forming a boss on one side. The height of the single wedge 31 matches the height of the square nut 4, which can clamp the square nut 4 and prevent it from rotating. During installation, the square nut 4 and the bolt 5 can be brought close to the center of the handlebar 6, thereby preventing the bolt 5 from deforming or bending, which may cause the plug 1 to be unable to fully fit the handlebar 6 in severe cases.

[0056] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the single wedge platform 31 on the bottom surface of the single wedge platform 31 can also be replaced by a flat wedge platform 32 or a vertical wedge platform 33; the heights of the single wedge platform 31 or the flat wedge platform 32 or the vertical wedge platform 33 are basically the same; the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the square nut 4 is larger than the diameter of the inner wedge 3 and smaller than the inner hole diameter of the handlebar 6.

[0057] like Figure 6 As shown, the four sides of the square nut 4 may be unequal, and when used in conjunction with the wedge 3 inside the vertical wedge platform 33, the square nut 4 may be replaced by a standard hexagonal nut 42, or other special-shaped nuts. However, the square nut 4 and the hexagonal nut 42 are standard parts, and their use can reduce costs.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the plug 1 is a cylindrical or truncated cone as a whole, with a circular hole in the center, and the circular hole matches the bolt 5.

[0059] The plug 1 is provided with a bolt groove 11 and a limiting platform 12 at the bottom.

[0060] The outer diameter of the limit platform 12 matches the inner hole of the handlebar 6 and can shake slightly after installation. In order to match handlebars of more sizes, limit rings 7 of different sizes can be set. When the inner hole and the outer diameter differ greatly, the limit ring 7 is installed on the limit platform 12. The outer diameter of the limit ring 7 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the handlebar 6, which is a clearance fit. The inner diameter of the limit ring is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the limit platform 12, which is also a clearance fit.

[0061] The depth and radius of the bolt groove 11 match the size of the head of the bolt 5, so that the head of the bolt 5 can be hidden in the plug 1, achieving an aesthetic effect, and can also protect the bolt 5 from being unable to be removed when the vehicle falls.

[0062] The top and bottom surfaces of the plug 1 also have chamfers and rounded transitions.

[0063] like Figure 8 As shown, the plug 1 is directly mounted on the handlebar 6 , or is mounted by adding a limiting ring 7 .

[0064] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the outer wedge 2 can be replaced by the inner wedge 3.

[0065] The inner wedge 3 with a flat single wedge platform 31 can be cut or machined on a plane using a metal tube such as an aluminum alloy with matching inner and outer diameters, including processing by wire cutting, laser cutting, water jet cutting machine or milling machine. The cut width of the single wedge platform 31 can be adjusted based on the difference between the above-mentioned D1 and the above-mentioned D2, while ensuring that the square nut 4 does not rotate, so that the bolt 5 is centered on the center of the handlebar 6 after installation.

[0066] Embodiment 2, as Figure 4 As shown, the flat wedge 32 is a centered cutout of the middle part of the bottom surface of the inner wedge 3, the cutting angle is consistent with that of the single wedge 31, the cutting width is wider than the square nut 4, and it is ensured that the square nut 4 cannot rotate in a circle inside the cutting groove, but can be slightly shaken, and after tightening, the square nut 4 can be slightly moved closer to the center of the handlebar 6; the inner wedge 3 with a flat wedge 32 can be cut or cut on a plane with a metal pipe such as an aluminum alloy with matching inner and outer diameters, including wire cutting, laser cutting, water jet cutting machine or milling machine. The main feature is that there is no need to rotate the semi-finished product 90° for secondary clamping and cutting, but the difference between the above D1 and the above D2 is required to be relatively small, otherwise the bolt 5 will be seriously off-center after installation, and if the middle of the flat wedge 32 is cut too wide, the two sides of the flat wedge 32 will be too thin and break.

[0067] Embodiment 3, as Figure 5 As shown, the vertical wedge 33 is cut off more than half of the middle part of the bottom surface of the inner wedge 3, and the cutting angle is 90 degrees with the single wedge 31. The cutting width is slightly wider than the square nut 4, and the square nut 4 cannot rotate inside the cutting groove. After installation, the square nut 4 and the bolt 5 can be approached to the center of the handlebar 6 without restriction. Regardless of the difference between the above D1 and the above D2, the bolt 5 can be completely centered in the center of the handlebar 6; the main feature is that the cutting of the beveled surface 38 and the vertical wedge 38 cannot be completed on one surface, and the semi-finished product needs to be rotated 90° for secondary clamping and cutting, which is more complicated than the other two types of inner wedges 3.

[0068] In Example 4, the inner wedge 3 and the square nut 4 can be replaced by a structure having the same appearance as the outer wedge 2 and having threads matching the bolt 5 inside the bottom cylinder.

[0069] In Example 5, the bolt 5 can also be placed in reverse for use, and the inner wedge 3 can be replaced by another outer wedge 2.

[0070] The above describes the preferred implementation of the present invention in detail, but the present invention is not limited to the above implementation. Within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in this field, various changes can be made without departing from the purpose of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
