Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bicycle handlebar module combining a brake handle and a speed control device. The brake handle and the speed control device are combined on the bicycle handlebar to form a three-in-one modular structure. Background Art

[0002] According to the industry, bicycles have many components and are close to standard specifications. Over a long period of time, the industry has formed a huge industrial supply chain. After professionally producing various bicycle components, they are sent to professional assembly plants for external assembly and shipment. Among the main components, such as the speed control device in the transmission, the brake handle, the bicycle light and the turn signal light must be assembled on the bicycle handlebar. However, it has the following disadvantages: each component must be made into a complete finished product appearance and structural design form, such as a protective shell, a joint, a pivot or a connector, etc. When sent to the assembly plant, the above accessories can be directly and exposedly assembled on other components of the bicycle. Therefore, there are too many joints, pivots and connectors between the various components on the bicycle, which not only makes the assembly process complicated and time-consuming, but also increases the assembly cost, indirectly causing the overall bicycle cost to be high. Therefore, how to research and improve the above-mentioned problems, and assemble them in a modular structure to effectively reduce the assembly time and assembly cost is actually the goal that the relevant industry needs to work hard on. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a bicycle handlebar module which combines a brake handle with a speed control device.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is a bicycle handlebar module combining a brake handle and a speed control device, comprising: a bicycle handlebar, wherein a gripping portion, a pivoting portion and a receiving portion are respectively formed at two ends of the handlebar and the front side near the two ends; two brake handles, each pivotally connected to the two pivoting portions at one end, and the brake handles are exposed at the front side of the bicycle handlebar; two speed control devices are arranged in the receiving portion of the bicycle handlebar, wherein the speed control device at least includes a gear change mechanism, a cable, a tensioning mechanism, and a release mechanism, wherein the tensioning mechanism and the release mechanism are linked to the rotation of the gear change mechanism, the gear change mechanism is connected to one end of the cable, and the tensioning mechanism can control the tensioning of the cable by the rotation of the gear change mechanism, and the release mechanism can control the release of the cable by the rotation of the gear change mechanism, and when the speed control device is arranged on the bicycle handlebar, the tensioning mechanism and the release mechanism are exposed outside the bicycle handlebar.

[0005] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the modular assembly is completed by directly assembling the two brake handles, the speed control device, the turn signal lamp and the front light and other components on the bicycle handlebar. Therefore, the bicycle handlebar module can not only save assembly time and assembly cost, but also indirectly reduce the overall bicycle manufacturing cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0016] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a bicycle handlebar module combining a brake handle and a speed control device, comprising:

[0017] A bicycle handlebar 10, wherein a gripping portion 11, a pivoting portion 12 and a receiving portion 13 are respectively formed at two ends and the front side of the bicycle handlebar 10 near the two ends, and a front light 40 is disposed at the center of the front side of the bicycle handlebar 10;

[0018] Two brake handles 20, one end of each of which is pivotally connected to the two pivoting portions 12, and each of which is exposed at the front side of the bicycle handlebar 10;

[0019] The second speed control device 30 is disposed in the receiving portion 13 of the bicycle handlebar 10, wherein the speed control device 30 at least includes a gear change mechanism 31, a cable 32, a tensioning mechanism 33 and a release mechanism 34. The tensioning mechanism 33 and the release mechanism 34 are linked to the rotation of the gear change mechanism 31. The gear change mechanism 31 is connected to one end of the cable 32, and the tensioning mechanism 33 can control the tensioning of the cable 32 by the rotation of the gear change mechanism 31. The release mechanism 34 can control the release of the cable 32 by the rotation of the gear change mechanism 31. When the speed control device 30 is disposed on the bicycle handlebar 10, the tensioning mechanism 33 and the release mechanism 34 are exposed outside the bicycle handlebar 10.

[0020] The bicycle handlebar 10 is in a U-shape.

[0021] The bicycle handlebar 10 may be formed by combining an upper cover 101 and a lower cover 102 .

[0022] Wherein, a direction indicator 14 is respectively disposed at both ends of the bicycle handlebar 10 .
