Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle technology, and in particular to a handlebar assembly and a bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development, high-speed riding experiences have become a new trend pursued by people. In order to cope with high-speed riding experiences, the rigidity of the connection between various components has become an important reference indicator in the bicycle industry, and the rigidity of the connection between the handlebars and the stem is an important one.

[0003] In traditional technology, the handlebars and the stem are connected to form a T-shaped structure. However, this setup results in poor rigidity between the handlebars and the stem. During riding, as the rider shakes the handlebars violently, displacement occurs between the handlebars and the stem, leading to a loss of force and failing to meet the requirements of high-speed riding.

[0017] and / or

[0018] The handlebar assembly also includes a second connector, which is connected to the connecting component, and the reinforcing member is connected to the connecting component via the second connector.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first connector is a loop that can be fitted over the handlebars;

[0020] and / or

[0021] The second connector includes a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate that are bent relative to each other. The first connecting plate is attached to the outer surface of the connecting component, and the second connecting plate extends away from the connecting component. The reinforcing member is connected to the second connecting plate.

[0022] In one embodiment, the reinforcing member includes a reinforcing body and an adjusting part connected to each other, the adjusting part being capable of adjusting the length of the reinforcing body.

[0046] See Figure 1 One embodiment of this application provides a handlebar assembly 100, which includes a connecting member 20 and a handlebar 10, with the handlebar 10 connected to the connecting member 20. The handlebar 10 is used for gripping, and the handlebar assembly 100 is connected to the front wheel via the connecting member 20. When the rider rotates the handlebar 10, the handlebar 10 drives the connecting member 20 to rotate, which can change the direction of the bicycle's front wheel, thus guiding the bicycle.

[0047] Specifically, the handlebar 10 is connected to one end of the connecting member 20, and the other end of the connecting member 20 is connected to the front wheel. The handlebar assembly 100 also includes a reinforcement 30, which connects the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Optionally, one end of the reinforcement 30 is connected to the handlebar 10, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 20.

[0048] See Figure 5 The connecting component 20 includes a vertical tube 21 and a front fork 22. The vertical tube 21 is located between the front fork 22 and the handlebar 10. The reinforcing member 30 connects the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube 21 and / or connects the handlebar 10 and the front fork 22.

[0049] It should be noted that the reinforcement 30 connecting the handlebar 10 and the stem 21 and / or connecting the handlebar 10 and the fork 22 includes the following three cases:

[0050] Reinforcing member 30 connects handlebar 10 and stem 21;

[0051] Reinforcing component 30 connects handlebar 10 and front fork 22;

[0052] The reinforcing member 30 connects the handlebar 10 and the stem 21, and also connects the handlebar 10 and the fork 22.

[0053] The reinforcing member 30 is tautly positioned between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Since the extension directions of the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 intersect, a receiving space is formed between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20, and the reinforcing member 30 is positioned within the receiving space formed by the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. The reinforcing member 30, the handlebar 10, and the connecting member 20 together form a triangular structure A.

[0054] Optionally, the reinforcing member 30 can be a reinforcing rope or a reinforcing steel pipe, etc., which is not limited here.

[0055] The handlebar assembly 100 provided in this embodiment includes a reinforcing member 30, which is tautly positioned between the handlebar 10 and the connecting component 20. The reinforcing member 30, the handlebar 10, and the connecting component 20 form a triangular structure A, which is stable, firm, and pressure-resistant. Compared to the T-shaped structure formed by the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube in the prior art, the triangular structure A improves the rigidity between the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube. Even if the rider shakes the handlebar 10 violently during riding, it is less likely to cause displacement of the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube, thus meeting the needs of high-speed riding.

[0056] In some embodiments, see further reference. Figure 1 The handlebar assembly 100 includes a socket 70, which is sleeved on one end of the riser 21. The handlebar assembly 100 also includes a double loop 60, which includes a first loop and a second loop. The first loop is sleeved on the outside of the socket 70, and the second loop is sleeved on the outside of the handlebar 10, so as to realize the detachable connection between the handlebar 10 and the connecting component 20.

[0057] Specifically, the handlebar assembly 100 includes two double-buckle components 60. The first loops of the two double-buckle components 60 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the connector 70 extending from the connecting component 20. The second loops of the two double-buckle components 60 are both sleeved on the handlebar 10 to connect the handlebar 10 to the connecting component 20. The handlebar 10 can be a one-piece molded handlebar 10 or a separate handlebar 10. When the handlebar 10 is a separate handlebar 10, it includes a first handlebar body and a second handlebar body, which are joined together to form the handlebar 10. In this case, the second loop of one double-buckle component 60 is sleeved on the first handlebar body, and the second loop of the other double-buckle component 60 is sleeved on the second handlebar body.

[0058] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the handlebar 10 and the connecting component 20 can also be directly connected, such as by welding. Alternatively, the handlebar 10 and the connecting component 20 can also be integrally formed.

[0059] It should be noted that the handlebar 10 in this application can be either a straight handlebar or a drop handlebar, and there is no limitation on the shape of the handlebar 10.

[0060] Further reading Figure 2 The handlebar 10 includes a first connecting section 11, a second connecting section 12, and a suspended section 13. The first connecting section 11 is connected to the vertical tube 21, and the second connecting section 12 is located between the first connecting section 11 and the suspended section 13. The reinforcing member 30 is connected to the second connecting section 12. This arrangement avoids the reinforcing member 30 being connected to the handlebar 10 too far to the end, which would affect the riding performance. Simultaneously, it avoids the reinforcing member 30 being connected to the handlebar 10 too close to its connection point with the connecting component 20, ensuring sufficient reinforcement. It is understood that in other embodiments, the position where the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 can be selected as needed, and is not limited here.

[0061] In other embodiments, see Figure 6 The reinforcing member 30 can also be connected to the suspended section 13, which is not limited here.

[0062] It should be noted that when the handlebar 10 includes a separate first handlebar body and a second handlebar body, part of the first connecting section 11 is formed on the first handlebar body, and the remaining part is formed on the second handlebar body.

[0063] In some embodiments, the handlebar assembly 100 includes two reinforcing members 30, which are distributed on both sides of the connecting member 20 in the extending direction of the handlebar 10. Each reinforcing member 30, the handlebar 10, and the connecting member 20 form a triangular structure A. This arrangement, with a triangular structure A formed on both sides of the handlebar 10, further ensures the rigidity of the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20, thereby further reducing the displacement of the handlebar 10 relative to the connecting member 20 during riding and meeting the requirements of high-speed riding.

[0064] Further reading Figure 3 The connecting component 20 has a central axis L, and two reinforcing members 30 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central axis L. In this way, the handlebar assembly 100 forms a left-right symmetrical structure, which can further improve the rigidity of the structure.

[0065] It should be understood that in some other embodiments, the two reinforcing members 30 may also be arranged asymmetrically on both sides of the central axis L, depending on the need, and are not limited here.

[0066] In some embodiments, see further reference. Figure 2The handlebar assembly 100 also includes a first connector 40, which is connected to the handlebar 10. One end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 via the first connector 40. By providing the first connector 40, the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the handlebar 10 is conveniently achieved.

[0067] Optionally, the first connector 40 is a loop fitted over the handlebar 10. Thus, when the reinforcing member 30 is installed, the loop is fitted over the handlebar 10, and one end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the loop, thereby connecting the reinforcing member 30 to the handlebar 10.

[0068] Furthermore, the handlebar assembly 100 also includes a second connector 50, which is connected to the connecting member 20. The other end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the connecting member 20 via the second connector 50. By providing the second connector 50, the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the connecting member 20 is conveniently achieved.

[0069] Optionally, see Figure 4 The second connecting member 50 includes a first connecting plate 51 and a second connecting plate 52 that are bent relative to each other. The first connecting plate 51 is attached to the outer surface of the connecting member 20, and the second connecting plate 52 extends away from the connecting member 20. The reinforcing member 30 is connected to the second connecting plate 52. In this configuration, the second connecting plate 52 extends outward by a predetermined distance relative to the connecting member 20 to leave space for the reinforcing member 30 to connect with the second connecting plate 52, thereby achieving the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the connecting member 20.

[0070] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the handlebar assembly 100 may omit the first connector 40 and the second connector 50, in which case the reinforcing member 30 is directly connected to the handlebar 10 and the connecting component 20. Meanwhile, when the handlebar assembly 100 includes the first connector 40 and the second connector 50, the specific arrangement of the first connector 40 and the second connector 50 is not limited, as long as the effect of connecting the reinforcing member 30 to the handlebar 10 and the connecting component 20 is achieved.

[0071] In some embodiments, see further reference. Figure 4 The reinforcing member 30 includes a reinforcing body 31 and an adjusting part 32. The adjusting part 32 can adjust the length of the reinforcing member 30 so that the reinforcing member 30 is tautly disposed between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Optionally, the reinforcing body 31 is a steel wire rope. It is conceivable that in some other embodiments, the material of the reinforcing body 31 is not limited.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, the reinforcing body 31 includes a first reinforcing segment and a second reinforcing segment, which are connected by an adjusting part 32. The adjusting part 32 includes an adjusting screw 321, the two ends of which are screwed to the first reinforcing segment and the second reinforcing segment, respectively. Tightening the adjusting screw 321 can adjust the distance between the first reinforcing segment and the second reinforcing segment, thereby adjusting the length of the reinforcing member 30.

[0073] In other embodiments, the adjustment part 32 is located at at least one end of the reinforcing body 31, and the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 or the connecting member 20 via the adjustment part 32. The adjustment part 32 includes an adjustment screw 321, which, when turned, adjusts the length of the reinforcing body 31. Simultaneously, the adjustment screw 321 securely connects the reinforcing member 30 to the handlebar 10 or the connecting member 20. For more details, please refer to the following: Figure 4 When installing the reinforcing member 30, the adjusting screw 321 passes through the second connecting plate 52 and one end of the reinforcing body 31. The length of the reinforcing member 30 can be adjusted by turning the adjusting screw 321, so that the reinforcing body 31 is taut.

[0074] Another embodiment of this application provides a bicycle including the aforementioned handlebar assembly 100. Since the handlebar assembly 100 has beneficial effects, the bicycle including the handlebar assembly 100 has the same beneficial effects, which will not be described in detail here.

[0075] Furthermore, the bicycle can be a folding bicycle or a non-folding bicycle; there are no restrictions on the type of bicycle.

[0076] Specifically, the connecting component 20 has a foldable structure so that it can be folded when the handlebar assembly 100 is not in use, thereby reducing the space occupied.

[0077] The bicycle also includes a head tube 200, and a connecting component 20 is fitted inside the head tube 200 and is rotatable relative to the head tube 200 for riding.

[0078] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0079] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
