Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of motorcycle parts and accessories, and in particular to a saddle-horse type side box bracket for a motorcycle. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, motorcycles have become more and more popular among the public. Motorcycles are no longer just a simple means of transportation, but also an important travel equipment. When traveling by motorcycle, whether it is a long-distance or short-distance trip, you need to carry some luggage and necessary tools. Due to the limited loading capacity of the motorcycle itself, more and more riders choose to add a luggage box to the rear of the motorcycle to store the necessities during the motorcycle trip.

[0003] Motorcycle luggage for riding mainly includes a trunk and side boxes. The trunk is usually installed on the shelf at the rear end of the motorcycle, and the side boxes are usually installed symmetrically on the left and right sides of the vehicle body through side box brackets. Traditional side boxes are mostly made of plastic or leather, while metal side boxes made of aluminum alloy and other materials have higher strength and better appearance quality, and are increasingly sought after by motorcycle enthusiasts, especially riders who often ride long distances. However, due to the weight and installation structure of metal side boxes, higher requirements are placed on the strength of the bracket. Under long-distance and harsh road conditions, there is a risk of the side box falling off. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize the design of the traditional side box bracket structure. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a saddle-type side box bracket for a motorcycle to solve the technical problems pointed out in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A saddle-horse type side box bracket for a motorcycle comprises a first side plate and a second side plate which are symmetrically arranged, wherein the first side plate and the second side plate are constructed to be suitable for hanging a motorcycle side box, and the key point is that a saddle beam is connected between the first side plate and the second side plate, and the two ends of the saddle beam are rigidly fixed to the upper ends of the first side plate and the second side plate respectively, and the middle part of the saddle beam has a mounting portion for fixing to a motorcycle frame, through which the force transmitted from the motorcycle side boxes on both sides through the side plates can be vertically applied to the motorcycle frame.

[0007] With the above structure, after the bracket is installed on the motorcycle body, the first side panel and the second side panel are connected by the saddle beam, and the saddle beam is placed horizontally on the body. After the side box is installed on the first side panel and the second side panel, the overall force of the bracket is mainly loaded vertically on the body through the saddle beam, which can significantly improve the bracket's carrying capacity for the side box and improve the reliability of the bracket.

[0008] Preferably, the saddle beam comprises a transverse support portion in a plate-like structure, and bent portions extending downward from both ends of the transverse support portion, and the bent portions are connected to the corresponding first side plate or second side plate by bolts. The above structure is adopted to facilitate the assembly of the saddle beam between the first side plate and the second side plate.

[0009] Preferably, two groups of bolt holes are respectively arranged at the positions of the first side plate and the second side plate corresponding to the bending part, and threaded holes are arranged at the positions of the bolt holes corresponding to the bending part. With the above structure, when the saddle beam is installed by bolts, the bolts are connected and constrained by the connection of the nuts and the threaded holes with two groups of internal threads, which has better connection strength and is not prone to defects such as loosening and falling off during the driving of the motorcycle.

[0010] As a preference, the lateral support portion is arranged obliquely relative to the upper edges of the first side plate and the second side plate. The above structure can be adapted to the vehicle body structure, making the connection between the bracket and the vehicle body more stable.

[0011] As a preference, an avoidance notch is provided on the transverse support portion. The above structure is adopted to avoid the raised part on the vehicle body and prevent assembly interference.

[0012] As a preference: a waist strip is installed between the rear ends of the first side plate and the second side plate. The above structure can play a certain fixing role at the rear end of the bracket to improve the stability of the overall structure of the bracket.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the first side plate, the second side plate and the saddle beam are all aluminum alloy sheet metal parts, and the sheet metal parts are fixedly connected by bolts. The above structure is more convenient to manufacture and has lower cost.

[0014] As a preference, the first side plate and the second side plate are both provided with inwardly bent flanges on their edges, and functional holes are distributed on the flanges. The above structure is adopted to facilitate the rider to install the strap hook and the flagpole.

[0015] As a preference: auxiliary positioning seats are installed on the inner sides of the first side plate and the second side plate. The installation of auxiliary positioning seats can further increase the connection strength between the bracket and the motorcycle body.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The entire bracket can be assembled and installed on the motorcycle body through the first connecting hole, the second connecting hole and the third connecting hole, which makes the installation more convenient.

[0018] 2. The saddle beam is placed horizontally on the vehicle body, which enables the overall force of the bracket to be mainly loaded vertically on the vehicle body through the saddle beam, significantly improving the bracket's carrying capacity for the side box, making the bracket more reliable and less likely to become loose or fall off during motorcycle driving.

[0019] 3. The bracket is assembled from aluminum alloy sheet metal parts, which has the technical advantages of simple manufacturing process, low cost, good appearance quality and convenient assembly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with embodiments and drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a saddle-type side box bracket for motorcycles, the main components involved in the structure are: a first side plate 1, a second side plate 2, two sets of fixed ears 3, a saddle beam 4, and a waist strip 5. In this embodiment, the first side plate 1, the second side plate 2, the fixed ears 3, the saddle beam 4, and the waist strip 5 are all aluminum alloy sheet metal parts. In the traditional structure of the bracket, each component is connected by welding, and welding will change the organizational structure of the parts themselves, thereby reducing the performance of the bracket. Therefore, in this embodiment, each sheet metal part is fixedly connected by bolts.

[0025] The first side plate 1 is parallel to the second side plate 2, the saddle beam 4 is located between the upper ends of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, the middle of the saddle beam 4 has a mounting portion 41 for fixing to the motorcycle frame, the mounting portion 41 is provided with a second connecting hole 4a and a third connecting hole 4b, two groups of fixing ears 3 are respectively installed at the front ends of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2, and the fixing ears 3 are each provided with a first connecting hole 3a.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, when the bracket is assembled and connected to the motorcycle body, the saddle beam 4 is placed horizontally in the width direction of the body and is fixedly connected to the body by bolts passing through the second connecting hole 4a and the third connecting hole 4b. The first side plate 1, the second side plate 2 and the two sets of fixing ears 3 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the body and are fixedly connected to the side of the body by bolts passing through the first connecting hole 3a. The bracket can be fixedly installed on the body by the four bolts described in this paragraph.

[0027] Based on the saddle-horse type structural design of the bracket, after the side boxes are installed on both sides of the bracket, the weight of the side boxes and some additional shaking forces are mainly loaded vertically on the vehicle body through the saddle beam 4. Compared with the traditional bracket structure, it has better load-bearing capacity and better reliability, and is not prone to defects such as loosening and falling off during the driving of the motorcycle.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the saddle beam 4 is constructed as a strip plate structure, which includes a transverse support portion 4d and a bent portion 4c extending downward from both ends of the transverse support portion 4d, and two groups of threaded holes b are provided on the bent portion 4c. The first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are respectively provided with two groups of bolt through holes a at positions corresponding to the threaded holes b. The bolts 7 first pass through the bolt through holes a and are screwed into the threaded holes b, and then are completely tightened by the nuts 8. The bolts 7 are connected and constrained by the nuts 8 and the two groups of internal threads of the threaded holes b, so that the saddle beam 4 has better assembly strength and is not prone to defects such as loosening and falling off during the driving of the motorcycle.

[0029] For example Figure 1 As shown, the outer sides of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are both provided with hanging columns e, which have annular grooves. When installing the side box 9, the inner side of the side box can be hung on the hanging columns e.

[0030] For example Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in order to adapt to the vehicle body structure and make the saddle beam 4 more stably supported on the vehicle body, the transverse support portion 4d is inclined relative to the upper edge of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. In order to avoid the raised part on the vehicle body and prevent assembly interference, an avoidance notch 4e is provided at the front end of the middle part of the transverse support portion 4d.

[0031] The fixing lug 3 includes an integrally formed rear connecting portion 3b, a transition portion 3c and a front connecting portion 3d. The rear connecting portion 3b can be fixed to the corresponding first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 by two sets of bolts. Figure 1 In the figure, the bolts at the rear connecting portion 3b are not shown, and the first connecting hole 3a is formed on the front connecting portion 3d. For easy assembly, the first connecting hole 3a is preferably set as a strip hole. For easy connection and to ensure the installation strength of the bracket, the transition portion 3c is tilted inwardly relative to the rear connecting portion 3b, so that the front connecting portion 3d is offset inwardly relative to the rear connecting portion 3b.

[0032] To further enhance the stability of the overall structure of the bracket, a waist bar 5 is installed between the rear ends of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. To facilitate the rider to tie hooks and install accessories such as flagpoles, the edges of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2 are both provided with inwardly bent flanges c, and functional holes d are distributed on the flanges c.

[0033] For example Figure 1As shown, auxiliary positioning seats 6 are installed on the inner sides of the first side plate 1 and the second side plate 2. The auxiliary positioning seats 6 are connected to the vehicle body to further increase the connection strength between the bracket and the motorcycle.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Under the guidance of the present invention, ordinary technicians in this field can make various similar expressions without violating the purpose and claims of the present invention, and such changes all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
