Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bicycle fixing rack. Background Art

[0002] Bicycle fixing racks are mostly used at the rear of a car. Existing bicycle fixing racks generally include a connecting rod, a support rod and a vertical rod. For example, a bicycle fixing rack disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN209037497U has a connecting rod connected to the car connector perpendicular to the rear of the car, a square tube support rod perpendicular to the connecting rod is fixed at the end of the connecting rod, a vertical rod is arranged upwardly from the middle of the support rod, and a wheel seat is arranged on both sides of the two ends of the support rod. The wheel seat is arranged on the support rod of the square tube through a clamping sleeve, and the wheel seat is fixed to the support rod by tightening the knob arranged on the clamping sleeve. In this way, a bicycle can be placed on each side of the support rod, and the front and rear wheels of the bicycle are respectively placed on the wheel seats on the same side of the two ends of the support rod, and then locked to the crossbar of the bicycle tripod through a locking device at the upper end of the vertical rod.

[0003] The existing bicycle fixing rack has the following disadvantages: first, some existing power-assisted bicycles are provided with a motor on the rear wheel, and the center of gravity of the bicycle is biased toward the rear wheel. If the bicycle is not fixed toward one end of the support rod, the support rod will generate a torsion force on the connecting rod, which is easy to damage the turning device in the middle of the connecting rod that is used to connect the upper and lower connecting rods and has a turning effect. At present, the bicycle fixing rack is provided with a wheel seat on both sides of the two ends of the square tube support rod. Although each wheel seat can slide along the support rod to adjust the appropriate spacing between the two wheels through a clamp and a knob, when the bicycle is placed on the wheel seats at both ends of the support rod, it is relatively difficult to push the two wheel seats fixing the front and rear wheels to slide toward one end of the support rod at the same time, and it is inconvenient to adjust. Moreover, if two bicycles with different centers of gravity are fixed on the same support rod, it is also difficult to adjust the center of gravity position of the bicycles. In addition, the existing bicycle fixing frame has a flip device arranged in the middle of the connecting rod, in which a U-shaped seat is welded at the end of the lower connecting rod, and the arc-shaped fixing plates on both sides of the U-shaped seat are provided with a hinge hole in the center and a plurality of plug holes at the edge. The end of the upper connecting rod not connected to the support rod is hinged to the hinge holes of the two arc-shaped fixing plates of the U-shaped seat by a hinge bolt, and a horizontal plug hole is provided on the upper connecting rod near the hinge end, and is plugged and fixed with the plug hole on the arc-shaped fixing plate of the U-shaped seat by a latch, so as to realize the opening and folding of the upper connecting rod for use and folding and storage. However, this flip device which adopts the method of plugging and pulling out the latch to realize the folding of the connecting rod is inconvenient to use. Summary of the invention
