Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of article placing devices, and in particular to a flip locking device and a cycling vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Electric bicycles are a very common short-distance means of transportation in daily life, which greatly facilitates people's daily life. When electric bicycles first emerged, the traffic management department did not require its drivers and passengers to wear helmets. Therefore, electric bicycle manufacturers did not consider the placement of helmets. However, since driving an electric bicycle on the road may cause traffic accidents, not wearing a helmet can easily cause casualties. Therefore, the traffic management department requires electric bicycle drivers and passengers to wear helmets. However, after the ride, the helmet is not convenient to carry with you, and if it is placed directly on the electric bicycle, someone may steal it. Therefore, the industry began to consider how to safely place the helmet on the electric bicycle, and proposed various solutions for the placement of helmets. For example, patent document CN213898532U discloses a helmet lock for a two-wheeled vehicle, which includes a lock hook and a lock core installed on the vehicle. If the helmet (i.e., a safety helmet) needs to be locked, the lock hook is inserted into the lock core after passing through the through hole on the helmet, thereby locking the helmet on the vehicle. If the helmet does not need to be locked, the lock hook can be used as a hook. During riding, the user can hang items such as a plastic bag containing items on the lock hook, so there is no need to hold the items by hand. The lock hook of the above patent document can achieve two uses (locking the helmet and hanging items), and the utilization rate is high. However, if the lock hook is often used to hang heavy objects, it is easy to be damaged. Once the lock hook is damaged due to hanging heavy objects, it can no longer lock the helmet. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to achieve the function of locking items that do not need to be carried with you, such as cycling protective gear, and hanging items such as carry-on items, even if the function of hanging items is lost, while achieving the function of locking items that do not need to be carried with you, such as cycling protective gear, and hanging items such as carry-on items.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the first aspect of the present invention provides a flip locking device, including a flip mechanism that can be operated to flip over, a lock for locking an object is provided on the front of the flip mechanism, and a hook is provided on the back of the flip mechanism. When the flip mechanism is operated to flip, the lock is flipped to the original back side and the hook is flipped to the original front side, so that the hook is in a state that can be used to hang objects.

[0005] Optionally, the main body of the flipping mechanism is a partition, which separates the front and back sides from each other, and a rotating shaft is provided in the middle of the partition, and the upper and lower parts of the partition rotate around the rotating shaft to achieve flipping.

[0006] Optionally, the locking element is specifically a male card locking element, which cooperates with a female card locking element on the object to be locked to lock the object.

[0007] Optionally, the male card lock extends out from the front.

[0008] Optionally, the back end of the male card lock is hinged to a flip mechanism so that it can be rotated around the hinge and retracted.

[0026] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figure 1 The electric bicycle 30 shown in the figure has a flip lock device on the rear side panel 31 of the front of the bicycle. The flip lock device includes the following: Figure 2 The base 10 shown is embedded in the rear side panel 31. The flip lock device includes a flip mechanism installed in the base 10. The flip mechanism body is a partition 1, which separates the front side (facing the rider) and the back side of the flip mechanism from each other. The front side of the partition 1 is provided with a male card lock 2 (i.e., a lock object). Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the front side of the partition 1 faces the outside of the vehicle body and the back side faces the inside of the vehicle body, and the male card lock 2 extends outward from the vehicle body. Figure 6 The electric bicycle 30 includes a helmet 20, and a lock body 21 (i.e., a female lock member) is provided on the helmet 20 for the male card lock member 2 to be inserted and locked. If the user parks the electric bicycle 30 in a residential area at this time, the user needs to lock the helmet 20 on the electric bicycle 30. To do this, first align the insertion hole (not shown) of the lock body 21 of the helmet 20 with the male card lock member 2 on the electric bicycle 30 and move toward the male card lock member 2 so that the male card lock member 2 is inserted into the insertion hole of the lock body 21 and locked, and then turn the combination wheel 22 (see FIG. 2 ) installed on the lock body 21 to confuse the user. Figure 7 ) is displayed on the screen, so the helmet 20 is like Figure 6 As shown, it is securely fixed on the electric riding vehicle 30.

[0028] If the user needs to go to the market to buy daily necessities, then he turns the password wheel 22 on the helmet 20 until the correct password number is displayed so that the male card lock 2 is no longer locked, and then moves the helmet 20 away from the male card lock 2 on the electric bicycle 30. In this way, the user removes the helmet 20 from the electric bicycle 30, puts on the helmet 20, and drives the electric bicycle 30 to the market to shop. The user goes to the market to park and then locks the helmet 20 on the electric bicycle 30 (see above for the locking process), and then goes to buy daily necessities. After shopping in the market, the user is ready to ride home, goes to the parking lot of the electric bicycle 30, removes the helmet 20 from the electric bicycle 30 (see above for the unlocking process), and then puts on the helmet 20. The user needs to wear the helmet 20 during driving, and during this process, the male card lock 2 is in an idle state. See Figure 5 The back of the partition 1 is provided with a hook 3 integrally formed with the partition 1. The partition 1 is mounted in the base 10 through a rotating shaft 11 disposed in the middle thereof. The base 10 is left empty for the upper and lower parts of the partition 1 to rotate around the rotating shaft 11 to realize flipping. Figure 2 As shown, the back end of the male card lock 2 is hinged to the partition 1. After the user wears the safety helmet 20, the male card lock 2 is rotated around the hinge to be retracted (as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown), the upper and lower parts of the partition 1 are then operated to rotate around the rotating shaft 11 so that the male card lock 2 is turned over to the original back side and the hook 3 is turned over to the original front side, as shown. Figure 4 As shown, in this state, the hook 3 can be used to hang items, and the user hangs the purchased daily necessities on the hook 3 and then rides home. After returning home and parking, the user takes the hanging daily necessities from the hook 3, and then rotates the upper and lower parts of the partition 1 around the rotation axis 11 to turn over, so that the hook 3 is turned over to the original back side and hidden in the vehicle body, and the male card lock 2 is turned over to the original front side and exposed. In this way, the male card lock 2 can be used to lock the safety helmet 20, and the user operates to rotate the male card lock 2 around the hinge to extend (as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown), then take off the safety helmet 20 from the head and lock it on the electric riding vehicle 30, and then you can walk away.

[0029] In other embodiments, the electric scooter may also be provided with the above-mentioned flip lock device. Similarly, when the user is driving the electric scooter, the user may hang items such as personal belongings on the hook of the flip lock device. When the electric scooter is parked in residential areas, streets, office buildings, etc., items that do not need to be carried with the user, such as safety helmets, may be locked on the electric scooter.

[0030] The above is only an implementation method of the invention, and does not limit the scope of patent protection. Those skilled in the art can make non-substantial changes or substitutions based on the invention, which still fall within the scope of patent protection.
