[0031] In related technologies, shared bicycles and other two-wheeled vehicles have gradually adopted split-type locks for operation. However, the exposed structure of split locks makes them susceptible to collision damage, theft, or vandalism, and their lifespan is shortened by severe weather. The purpose of this invention is to solve the technical problems existing in the aforementioned related technologies by providing a central locking device and a two-wheeled vehicle to further improve the security of locks on shared bicycles and other two-wheeled vehicles and reduce their operating costs.

[0032] A first aspect of the present invention provides a central locking device for mounting a split lock central locking assembly at the front of a two-wheeled vehicle. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the central control fixing device of the present invention; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the central control fixing device of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the housing; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the housing. (See diagram below.) Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the attachment piece of this embodiment can be used to install the housing of the built-in central locking component of the split lock on a two-wheeled vehicle, and the battery box with a detachable battery fixedly connected to the housing. The central locking fixing device of this embodiment may include a body 1, which includes two side plates 11 arranged opposite to each other, and a middle plate 12 connected to the two side plates 11 on the same side. The two side plates 11 and the middle plate 12 are connected to form an accommodating space 13. The accommodating space 13 is used to fix the housing 2 with the built-in central locking component. The housing 2 is detachably connected to the two side plates 11, and a fixing hole is provided through the middle plate 12.

[0033] The central control fixing device in this embodiment can be used to fix the housing 2 and battery of the central control component of the split lock. The angles formed by the two side plates 11 and the middle plate 12 can be determined according to the housing size of the central control component of the split lock. If the housing size is large, the side plates 11 are connected to the middle plate 12, and the cross-section gradually increases from the middle plate 12. This state facilitates the installation of the housing of the central control component. If the housing size is small, the side plates 11 are connected to the middle plate 12, and the cross-section gradually decreases from the middle plate 12. The side plates 11 can also be perpendicular to the middle plate 12 and connected to the middle plate 12.

[0034] The side panels 11 and the middle panel 12 can be integrally formed. Specifically, they can be formed by bending and cutting the same sheet material, or they can be integrally formed by casting. In this embodiment, the forming process of the body 1 is not specifically limited. By integrally forming the body 1 of this embodiment, the structural stability is enhanced and the failure rate of the body 1 is reduced.

[0035] Furthermore, a channel for installing or removing the battery can be provided in the side panel 11, communicating with the battery box. The battery can be pushed out of the battery box using fingers or an auxiliary tool through this channel. In actual use, removing the battery from the battery box usually requires clamping it. However, with the aforementioned channel in the main body 1 of this embodiment, the battery can be pushed out simply by applying force from one side. This effectively reduces the difficulty of battery removal, simplifies the operation, improves the maintenance efficiency of the two-wheeled vehicle, and thus reduces the high cost of maintenance.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the side plate 11 has a latch 111 at its edge away from the middle plate 12. The housing 2 of the central control assembly generally consists of two interlocking parts, with the speaker, logic processing circuit, GPS positioning chip, etc. of the central control assembly installed in the space between the two parts. The latch 111 on the housing 2 of the central control assembly can be provided to engage with the latch on the body 1. After the housing 2 of the central control assembly is connected to the body 1, the relative movement of the housing 2 in the vertical direction can be restricted by the engagement of the latch 111. By connecting the side plate 11 to one part of the housing 2 of the central control assembly, and placing the other part between that part and the middle plate 12, the separation of the housing 2 of the central control assembly can be restricted, ensuring the safety of the internal structure of the housing 2 of the central control assembly.

[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the two side plates 11 are bent in opposite directions to form retaining blocks 112. The retaining blocks 112 cooperate with the protruding ribs 21 provided on the outer side of the housing 2 to restrict the position of the housing 2 within the accommodating space 13. This embodiment, by providing the retaining blocks 112, can more stably place the central control housing 2 within the space enclosed by the central control fixing device in this embodiment. In a specific example, the two side plates 11 may have a certain degree of elasticity, facilitating the installation of the housing 2 into the central control fixing device of this embodiment.

[0038] In some embodiments, a cable access hole 121 is provided through the intermediate plate 12, wherein the cable access hole 121 communicates with the edge of the intermediate plate 12. This cable access hole 121 can connect to the side of the intermediate plate 12, facilitating cable insertion and avoiding the high precision requirements of cable threading caused by cables passing through closed cable access holes 121. This facilitates the maintenance personnel's repair and assembly of cables and attachments, reducing time costs.

[0039] Based on the same or similar design concept, a second aspect of the present invention provides a two-wheeled vehicle. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the two-wheeled vehicle of the present invention; Figure 6 The two-wheeled vehicle of the present invention Figure 5 The partial exploded structure diagram of the embodiment shown is as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a head tube 10 and a swingarm 20 are provided on the frame, including: a take-up plate 30, which is fixed on the head tube 10 and detachably connected to a central control fixing device as described in any of the above embodiments; a basket 40, which is detachably connected to the take-up plate 30 and is mounted on the head tube 10 via the take-up plate 30; and a split lock, which includes an electrically connected central control component and a lock body component, wherein the central control component is placed inside a housing 2 and the housing 2 is detachably connected to the central control fixing device, and the lock body component is installed in the brake box 50 at the end of the swingarm 20.

[0040] In this embodiment, the housing 2 of the central control component is placed in the accommodating space 13 and then fixed by the central control fixing device. The central control fixing device and the attachment piece 30 are detachably connected and fixed to the head tube 10 of the two-wheeled vehicle, thereby fixing the central control component to the head tube 10 of the two-wheeled vehicle. Compared with related technologies that install the central control component in other positions, the speaker is closer to the user's ear, making it easier for the two-wheeled vehicle user to receive voice information; the GPS positioning chip is positioned higher, resulting in more accurate signal transmission and reception.

[0041] In some embodiments, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the attachment piece of the present invention. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the basket and head tube combination of the two-wheeled vehicle of the present invention; Figure 9 The two-wheeled vehicle of the present invention Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment is shown in an exploded structural diagram. Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the attachment plate 30 and the central control fixing device are respectively provided with wire harness through holes 301, and the head tube 10 is provided with a wire threading hole at the position corresponding to the wire harness through hole 301.

[0042] The surface of the mounting plate 30 that connects to the head tube 10 can be an arc surface that matches the shape of the head tube 10; the surface of the mounting plate 30 that connects to the basket 40 can be a flat surface, facilitating the installation of structural components and overcoming the defect that the width of the head tube 10 is insufficient for installing the mounting plate 30. Through the cooperation of the mounting plate 30 and the basket 40, various types of baskets 40 can be replaced on the two-wheeled vehicle, meeting the needs of different groups for carrying goods on two-wheeled vehicles and enhancing the versatility of two-wheeled vehicles.

[0043] A mounting plate 30 is fixedly connected to the head tube 10, and the basket 40 is fixed to the head tube 10 via the mounting plate 30. A wiring harness through-hole 301 is provided at the location corresponding to the intermediate plate 12 on the mounting plate 30. The cable connecting the central control assembly and the lock body assembly is placed inside the tube frame of the two-wheeled vehicle through the wiring harness through-hole 301 and the wire threading hole, and then connected to the lock body assembly. By routing the wiring inside the two-wheeled vehicle, the defects of easily damaged cables and poor vehicle appearance caused by external wiring can be reduced, improving cable safety and the overall aesthetics of the vehicle.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the basket of the present invention, combined with... Figures 7 to 10 The basket 40 includes a basket body 401 and a seat 402 fixedly connected. The seat 402 includes a base plate 4021 and two baffles 4022 connected to the basket body 401, respectively. The two baffles 4022 are opposite to each other and connected to the base plate 4021. The basket body 401, base plate 4021, and baffles 4022 cooperate to form a top opening and an accommodating groove 4023 with an opening on the opposite side of the basket body 401. The central control fixing device, as described in the first aspect and various embodiments, which is equipped with the central control housing 2, is accommodated in the accommodating groove 4023. The basket may also be provided with a cover, which has a cable hole. The brake cable can be collected from the handlebars into the cable hole and enter the internal space formed by the attachment piece 30, the body 1, and the seat 402, and then enter the head tube 10 through the aforementioned wire harness through hole 301.

[0045] In this embodiment, the basket body 401 and the attachment piece are connected by the base 402. This not only provides an installation position and space for the central control component of the split lock, but also protects the structure placed inside the base 402, reducing the impact of natural and human factors on the central control component and battery of the split lock, and extending the service life of two-wheeled vehicles such as shared bicycles.

[0046] The above-described embodiment of the invention conceals and fixes the central control component of the split lock to the main body 1 via a mounting bracket, and secures the lock body component within the gate box 50. The cable connecting the central control component and the lock body component enters through the head tube 10 of the two-wheeled vehicle and is routed through the frame tube of the two-wheeled vehicle, thus achieving cable concealment. This embodiment, designed in this way, improves the safety of the two-wheeled vehicle split lock and enhances the overall neatness of the two-wheeled vehicle's appearance.

[0047] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention can be modified and varied in various ways. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
