Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bicycle technology, and more specifically, to a bicycle bracket. Background Technology

[0002] With the current strong promotion of environmentally friendly and low-carbon travel, and the high volume of pedestrian and vehicle traffic on the roads, bicycles, being lightweight and compact, have become the most convenient mode of transportation for short distances. Furthermore, in many countries around the world, more and more people are taking up cycling. People typically store bicycles in garages or indoors, and to save space, hanging is the preferred method. However, current wall-mounted bicycle racks are not user-friendly for women, children, and men with less strength. Users need to use considerable strength to lift the entire bicycle and hang it on the wall, or lift the front wheel and secure it to the wall, making placement difficult and inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this invention is to provide a bicycle bracket that solves the problems of difficulty in placing and inconvenient operation of existing wall-mounted bicycle hangers.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a bicycle bracket is provided, comprising: a column structure; a wheel placement assembly including a base, a wheel fixing structure mounted on the base, and a first locking structure, the base being movably disposed on the column structure in a vertical direction, the wheel fixing structure having a clamped state of clamping the wheel and a released state of releasing the wheel; a second locking structure mounted on the bottom of the column structure and located on the movement path of the base; and a locking assembly mounted on the base, the locking assembly having a first locking position that engages with the first locking structure and a second locking position that engages with the second locking structure, wherein when the locking assembly is in the first locking position, the first locking structure abuts against the wheel fixing structure to clamp the wheel fixing structure, and when the locking assembly is in the second locking position, the first locking structure separates from the locking assembly, the wheel fixing structure is released, and the locking assembly locks with the second locking structure.

[0005] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes a locking member rotatably disposed on the base to allow the locking assembly to switch between a first locking position and a second locking position.

[0006] Furthermore, a first hook is provided on the side of the locking member facing the first locking structure, and a second hook is provided on the other side of the locking member. When the locking component is in the first locking position, the first hook is locked with the first locking structure, and the second hook is disengaged from the second locking structure. When the locking component is in the second locking position, the second hook is locked with the second locking structure, and the first hook is disengaged from the first locking structure.

[0007] Furthermore, the first locking structure is provided with a cylindrical first locking pin, and the first latch is adapted to engage with the first locking pin latch; the second locking structure is provided with a cylindrical second locking pin, and the second latch is adapted to engage with the second locking pin latch.

[0008] Furthermore, the first latch includes a first inclined surface and a first hook portion. The first inclined surface engages with the end of the first locking structure near the second locking structure to provide a force for the locking member to rotate toward the side where the first locking structure is located. The first hook portion abuts against the end of the first locking structure near the second locking structure to keep the locking assembly in the first locked position. And / or, the second latch includes a second inclined surface and a second hook portion. The second inclined surface engages with the second locking structure to provide a force for the locking member to rotate toward the side where the second locking structure is located. The second hook portion abuts against the end of the second locking structure to keep the locking assembly in the second locked position.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking component includes a first locking plate and a second locking plate, which are separately configured. The first locking plate includes a third hook, and the second locking plate includes a fourth hook. When the third hook engages with the end of the first locking structure near the second locking structure, the fourth hook disengages from the second locking structure. When the third hook is released from engagement with the end of the first locking structure near the second locking structure, the fourth hook engages with the second locking structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the first locking plate segment also includes a first stop portion, and a third hook portion and the first stop portion are disposed at opposite ends of the first locking plate segment. The second locking plate segment also includes a second stop portion, and a fourth hook portion and the second stop portion are disposed at opposite ends of the second locking plate segment. When the first stop portion abuts against the second locking structure, the locking component switches from the second locking position to the first locking position. When the second stop portion abuts against the end of the first locking structure near the second locking structure, the locking component switches from the first locking position to the second locking position.

[0011] Furthermore, the wheel placement assembly also includes a wheel pressure plate, which is rotatably mounted on the base. The wheel pressure plate is located on the side of the first locking structure away from the base. The wheel pressure plate is configured to press the first locking structure against the base under external force, so that the locking assembly is in a first locked position. A stop block is provided at the end of the wheel pressure plate away from the locking assembly. The stop block has a stop position that engages with the column structure and a disengagement position that disengages from the column structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the wheel fixing structure includes a first claw and a second claw disposed opposite to each other on the base. Both the first claw and the second claw are rotatable in the direction of approaching or moving away from each other. Both the first claw and the second claw have a protrusion at the end facing the base. When the locking component is in the first locking position, the first locking structure abuts against the protrusion to make the wheel fixing structure in a clamping state.

[0013] Furthermore, the wheel fixing structure also includes two mounting seats and two first elastic members. Both mounting seats are mounted on the base. The first gripper is rotatably mounted on one of the mounting seats, and the second gripper is rotatably mounted on the other mounting seat. The two first elastic members are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two mounting seats. Both first elastic members can make the gripper that cooperates with them tend to move away from the other gripper.

[0014] Furthermore, the base has a channel at one end facing the second locking structure, the locking component is located at one end of the channel, and the other end of the channel has an opening facing the second locking structure, through which the second locking structure enters the channel.

[0015] Furthermore, the bicycle bracket also includes a second elastic element, one end of which is connected to the top of the column structure, and the other end of which is connected to the base.

[0016] The present invention comprises a column structure, a wheel placement assembly, a second locking structure, and a locking assembly. The column structure is fixedly installed on the wall. When a bicycle needs to be placed on the bicycle rack, the front or rear wheel of the bicycle is pushed into the wheel placement assembly. The locking assembly changes from a second locking position to a first locking position, and the wheel fixing structure changes from a loose state to a clamping state, securing the front or rear wheel of the bicycle. Then, the base moves away from the second locking structure, and the bicycle moves along with the base away from the second locking structure, easily fixing the bicycle vertically to the wall. When you want to remove the bicycle, pull the bicycle down and press down on the bicycle wheel clamped by the wheel fixing structure, causing the base to move closer to the second locking structure. At this time, the locking assembly changes from a first locking position to a second locking position, the base cannot move further, and the wheel fixing structure changes from a clamping state to a loose state, allowing the bicycle to be removed.

[0031] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides a bicycle bracket, which includes: a column structure 10; a wheel placement assembly 20, including a base 21, a wheel fixing structure 22 mounted on the base 21, and a first locking structure 23, wherein the base 21 is movably disposed on the column structure 10 in a vertical direction, and the wheel fixing structure 22 has a clamped state for clamping the wheel and a released state for releasing the wheel; a second locking structure 30, mounted on the bottom of the column structure 10 and located on the movement path of the base 21; and a locking assembly 40, mounted on the base 21, wherein the locking assembly 40 has a first locking position that locks into the first locking structure 23 and a second locking position that locks into the second locking structure 30. When the locking assembly 40 is in the first locking position, the first locking structure 23 abuts against the wheel fixing structure 22 to clamp the wheel fixing structure 22. When the locking assembly 40 is in the second locking position, the first locking structure 23 is separated from the locking assembly 40, the wheel fixing structure 22 is released, and the locking assembly 40 is locked to the second locking structure 30.

[0033] In this embodiment, the column structure 10 is fixedly installed on the wall. Initially, the locking component 40 is in the second locking position. At this time, the wheel placement component 20 is located at the bottom of the column structure 10, and the wheel fixing structure 22 is in the loose state. When it is necessary to place the bicycle on the bicycle rack, the front wheel or rear wheel of the bicycle is pushed into the wheel placement component 20. At this time, the locking component 40 changes from the second locking position to the first locking position, and the wheel fixing structure 22 changes from the loose state to the clamping state, fixing the front wheel or rear wheel of the bicycle. The locking component 40 and the second locking structure 22 are locked together. Separate from the second locking structure 30, and then the base 21 moves away from the second locking structure 30. The bicycle moves away from the second locking structure 30 along with the base 21, easily fixing the bicycle vertically to the wall. When you want to remove the bicycle, pull the bicycle down and press down on the bicycle wheel held by the wheel fixing structure 22, so that the base 21 moves closer to the second locking structure 30. At this time, the locking component 40 changes from the first locking position to the second locking position, the base 21 can no longer move, and the wheel fixing structure 22 changes from the holding state to the loose state, and the bicycle can be taken away.

[0034] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the locking component 40 includes a locking member 42 rotatably disposed on the base 21 to allow the locking component 40 to switch between a first locking position and a second locking position.

[0035] With the above settings, the locking component 40 can be switched between the first locking position and the second locking position.

[0036] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a first hook 43 is provided on the side of the locking member 42 facing the first locking structure 23, and a second hook 44 is provided on the other side of the locking member 42. When the locking component 40 is in the first locking position, the first hook 43 is locked with the first locking structure 23, and the second hook 44 is disengaged from the second locking structure 30. When the locking component 40 is in the second locking position, the second hook 44 is locked with the second locking structure 30, and the first hook 43 is disengaged from the first locking structure 23.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first hook 43 and the second hook 44 are set at an angle. The locking member 42 rotates toward the side where the first locking structure 23 is located, so that the first hook 43 can lock and engage with the first locking structure 23, thereby keeping the locking component 40 in the first locking position. The locking member 42 rotates toward the side where the second locking structure 30 is located, so that the second hook 44 can lock and engage with the second locking structure 30, thereby keeping the locking component 40 in the second locking position.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first locking structure 23 is provided with a cylindrical first locking pin 232, and the first hook 43 is adapted to engage with the first locking pin 232. The second locking structure 30 is provided with a cylindrical second locking pin 32, and the second hook 44 is adapted to engage with the second locking pin 32.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first hook 43 and the cylindrical first locking pin 232 can form a hook engagement, locking the locking component 40 and the first locking structure 23, thereby ensuring that the locking component 40 is stably held in the first locked position. The second hook 44 and the cylindrical second locking pin 32 can form a hook engagement, locking the locking component 40 and the second locking structure 30, thereby ensuring that the locking component 40 is stably held in the second locked position. Through the above arrangement, the stability of the overall structure can be improved.

[0040] like Figure 11 As shown, the second locking structure 30 also includes a second lock seat 31, which extends at both ends away from each other in a first direction and can be used to hold bicycle wheels.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 8As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first hook 43 includes a first inclined surface 431 and a first hook portion 432. The first inclined surface 431 cooperates with the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30 to provide a force for the locking member 42 to rotate toward the side where the first locking structure 23 is located. The first hook portion 432 abuts against the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30 to keep the locking component 40 in the first locked position. And / or, the second hook 44 includes a second inclined surface 441 and a second hook portion 442. The second inclined surface 441 cooperates with the second locking structure 30 to provide a force for the locking member 42 to rotate toward the side where the second locking structure 30 is located. The second hook portion 442 abuts against the end of the second locking structure 30 to keep the locking component 40 in the second locked position.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first inclined surface 431 cooperates with the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, providing a force to the locking member 42 to rotate toward the side where the first locking structure 23 is located. When the locking member 42 rotates to a certain angle, the first hook 432 abuts against the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, allowing the locking component 40 to remain in the first locked position. As can be seen from the above, the rotation of the locking member 42 and the locking with the first locking structure 23 are both achieved through the structure of the first hook 43 itself, without the need for additional drive structures, thus simplifying the overall structure of the bicycle bracket. Similarly, the rotation of the locking member 42 and the locking with the second locking structure 30 are both achieved through the structure of the second hook 44 itself, also without the need for additional drive structures, further simplifying the overall structure of the bicycle bracket.

[0043] See also Figures 1 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first locking structure 23 further includes a first locking seat 41 and a first rotating shaft 47. The first locking seat 41 is mounted on the base 21, and the first rotating shaft 47 is mounted on the first locking seat 41. The locking member 42 is mounted on the first locking seat 41 via the first rotating shaft 47 and can rotate relative to the first locking seat 41 towards the side where the first locking structure 23 and the second locking structure 30 are located. The bottom surfaces of the first hook 432 and the second hook 442 are extended until they intersect, with an included angle of α, the value of which is in the range of 60° to 85°. This arrangement ensures that when the first hook 432 is locked with the first locking structure 23, the second hook 442 disengages from the second locking structure 30, and when the second hook 442 is locked with the second locking structure 30, the first hook 432 disengages from the first locking structure 23, thereby ensuring that the locking assembly 40 can smoothly switch between the first locking position and the second locking position.

[0044] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 9 to 11As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the locking member 42 includes a first locking plate part 45 and a second locking plate part 46 that are separately disposed. The first locking plate part 45 includes a third hook part 451, and the second locking plate part 46 includes a fourth hook part 461. When the third hook part 451 is engaged with the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, the fourth hook part 461 is disengaged from the second locking structure 30. When the third hook part 451 is disengaged from the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, the fourth hook part 461 is engaged with the second locking structure 30.

[0045] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 40 can switch between the first locking plate split 45 and the second locking plate split 46 through the linkage between them. In addition, since the first locking plate split 45 and the second locking plate split 46 are separate, if one of them is damaged, it will not affect the use of the other. Only the damaged locking plate split needs to be replaced or repaired.

[0046] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first locking plate segment 45 further includes a first stop 452, and the third hook 451 and the first stop 452 are disposed at opposite ends of the first locking plate segment 45. The second locking plate segment 46 further includes a second stop 462, and the fourth hook 461 and the second stop 462 are disposed at opposite ends of the second locking plate segment 46. When the first stop 452 abuts against the second locking structure 30, the locking component 40 switches from the second locking position to the first locking position. When the second stop 462 abuts against the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, the locking component 40 switches from the first locking position to the second locking position.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the first stop 452 abuts against the second locking structure 30, the first locking piece 45 rotates towards the side where the first locking structure 23 is located due to the abutment. During the rotation, the third hook 451 engages with the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, thus switching the locking assembly 40 from the second locking position to the first locking position. When the second stop 462 abuts against the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30, the second locking piece 46 rotates towards the side where the second locking structure 30 is located due to the abutment. During the rotation, the fourth hook 461 engages with the second locking structure 30, thus switching the locking assembly 40 from the first locking position to the second locking position. The interaction between the first locking piece 45 and the second locking piece 46 prevents the third hook 451 from engaging with the end of the first locking structure 23 near the second locking structure 30 while simultaneously preventing the fourth hook 461 from engaging with the second locking structure 30, thereby improving product stability.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the wheel placement assembly 20 further includes a wheel pressure plate 50, which is rotatably disposed on the base 21. The wheel pressure plate 50 is located on the side of the first locking structure 23 away from the base 21. The wheel pressure plate 50 is configured to press the first locking structure 23 against the base 21 under the action of an external force, so that the locking assembly 40 is in a first locked position. A stop block 51 is provided at the end of the wheel pressure plate 50 away from the locking assembly 40. The stop block 51 has a stop position that is engaged with the column structure 10 and a disengagement position that is disengaged from the column structure 10.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the bicycle needs to be placed on the bicycle rack, the front or rear wheel of the bicycle is pushed toward the position of the wheel placement assembly 20. At this time, since the front or rear wheel presses on the wheel pressure plate 50, the wheel pressure plate 50 presses the first locking structure 23 toward the base 21 and locks it with the locking assembly 40 on the base 21. This realizes that the locking assembly 40 changes from the second locking position to the first locking position. At this time, the wheel fixing structure 22 changes from the loose state to the tight state, fixing the front or rear wheel of the bicycle that has been pushed into the wheel placement assembly 20. Then, the base 21 moves away from the second locking structure 30, and the bicycle moves away from the second locking structure 30 along with the base 21, easily fixing the bicycle vertically to the wall.

[0050] In addition, a stop block 51 is provided at the end of the wheel pressure plate 50 away from the locking component 40. When the locking component 40 is in the second locking position, the stop block 51 is in the stop position, which can limit the base 21 and prevent the base 21 from moving away from the second locking structure 30. When the locking component 40 is in the first locking position, the stop block 51 is in the disengaged position. At this time, the base 21 is in a free state and can drive the bicycle to move away from the second locking structure 30 so as to hang the bicycle on the wall.

[0051] See also Figures 1 to 11As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the wheel placement assembly 20 further includes a torsion spring and a wheel pressure plate seat 29. The wheel pressure plate 50 and the torsion spring are mounted on the wheel pressure plate seat 29. A stop block 51 is disposed at the end of the wheel pressure plate 50 away from the locking assembly 40. Under the action of the torsion spring, the end of the wheel pressure plate 50 away from the locking assembly 40 maintains a tendency to rotate toward the side where the base 21 is located. When the bicycle wheel is not in contact with the wheel pressure plate 50, the end of the wheel pressure plate 50 away from the locking assembly 40 rotates toward the side where the base 21 is located under the action of the torsion spring, so that the stop block 51 contacts the column structure 10, that is, the stop block 51 is in the stopped position, which can lock the base 21 in the current position and prevent the base 21 from moving away from the second locking structure 30, thus ensuring safety. When the bicycle wheel presses on the wheel pressure plate 50, the end of the wheel pressure plate 50 away from the locking assembly 40 rotates toward the side away from the base 21, and the stop block 51 disengages from the column structure 10. At this time, the base 21 can move freely up and down.

[0052] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the wheel fixing structure 22 includes a first gripper 221 and a second gripper 222 disposed opposite to each other on the base 21. Both the first gripper 221 and the second gripper 222 are rotatable toward each other or away from each other. Both the first gripper 221 and the second gripper 222 are provided with a protrusion 223 at one end facing the base 21. When the locking component 40 is in the first locking position, the first locking structure 23 abuts against the protrusion 223 so that the wheel fixing structure 22 is in a clamping state.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the locking component 40 is in the first locking position, the first locking structure 23 abuts against the protrusions 223 on the first gripper 221 and the second gripper 222. The first locking structure 23 presses down on the protrusions 223, causing the first gripper 221 and the second gripper 222 to rotate towards each other, thereby putting the wheel fixing structure 22 into a clamping state and achieving clamping of the bicycle wheel.

[0054] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the wheel fixing structure 22 further includes two mounting seats 224 and two first elastic members 225. Both mounting seats 224 are mounted on the base 21. The first gripper 221 is rotatably mounted on one of the mounting seats 224, and the second gripper 222 is rotatably mounted on the other mounting seat 224. The two first elastic members 225 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two mounting seats 224. Both first elastic members 225 can cause the gripper that cooperates with them to have a tendency to move away from the other gripper.

[0055] With the above configuration, the first gripper 221 tends to move away from the second gripper 222, and the second gripper 222 tends to move away from the first gripper 221. That is, a gap is formed between the first gripper 221 and the second gripper 222 to allow the bicycle wheel to pass through, so as to avoid the entry of the wheel.

[0056] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first locking structure 23 further includes a locking rod 231 and a first locking pin 232 mounted on the locking rod 231. When the locking assembly 40 is in the first locked position, the locking rod 231 abuts against the protrusion 223. Since the first elastic member 225 can make the cooperating claw tend to move away from the other claw, the protrusion 223 applies a squeezing force to the locking rod 231, thereby enabling the first locking pin 232 to abut against the first hook portion 432, so that the wheel fixing structure 22 is kept in a clamped state.

[0057] It should be noted that the number of wheel fixing structures 22 can be set according to actual needs.

[0058] In one embodiment, the first elastic element 225 is a torsion spring.

[0059] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a channel 211 is provided at one end of the base 21 facing the second locking structure 30, the locking component 40 is located at one end of the channel 211, and the other end of the channel 211 has an opening facing the second locking structure 30, through which the second locking structure 30 enters the channel 211.

[0060] In this embodiment, the second locking structure 30 can enter the channel 211 through the opening and lock in place with the locking component 40 at one end of the channel 211.

[0061] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bicycle bracket further includes a second elastic member 60, one end of which is connected to the top of the column structure 10, and the other end of which is connected to the base 21.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second elastic element 60 is connected between the column structure 10 and the base 21. When the locking component 40 is in the second locking position, the second elastic element 60 is stretched. Since the second locking structure 30 is fixedly installed on the column structure 10, the base 21 can remain in its current position through the locking engagement between the locking component 40 and the second locking structure 30, preventing the base 21 from being pulled away from the second locking structure 30 by the second elastic element 60. When the locking component 40 is in the first locking position, the locking component 40 disengages from the second locking structure 30 and locks with the first locking structure 23. At this time, the base 21 moves away from the second locking structure 30 under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic element 60. Under the elastic restoring force of the second elastic element 60, the base 21 can drive the bicycle to move away from the second locking structure 30, thus hanging the bicycle on the wall.

[0063] In one embodiment, the second elastic element 60 is a tension spring.

[0064] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the top of the column structure 10 is provided with an upper fixing plate 11, the bottom of the base 21 is provided with a lower fixing plate 28, one end of the second elastic member 60 is connected to the upper fixing plate 11, and the other end of the second elastic member 60 is connected to the lower fixing plate 28.

[0065] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, rollers 27 are provided on both sides of the base 21 along the first direction, so that the base 21 can slide smoothly on the column structure 10.

[0066] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a guide plate 24 is provided on both sides of the base 21 along the first direction to facilitate the entry of the wheel.

[0067] See also Figures 1 to 11 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a connecting plate 25 is provided on both sides of the base 21 along the first direction. The two connecting plates 25 are located at the bottom of the base 21. The wheel placement assembly 20 also includes a support plate 26. One end of the support plate 26 is hinged to the two connecting plates 25. The support plate 26 has a V-shaped structure, so that the bicycle wheel can always be in the middle position of the support plate 26, thereby improving stability.

[0068] See also Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 9 to 11As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the locking assembly 40 further includes a first torsion spring 70, a second torsion spring 80, a first lock seat 41, and a second rotating shaft 48. Both the first torsion spring 70 and the second torsion spring 80 are mounted on the second rotating shaft 48. The first locking plate 45 has a counter-clockwise rotation tendency under the action of the first torsion spring 70. Figure 9 (As shown in the example), the second locking piece 46 has a tendency to rotate counterclockwise under the action of the second torsion spring 80 (taking... Figure 9 (As shown in the example).

[0069] As can be seen from the above description, the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects: A column structure, a wheel placement assembly, a second locking structure, and a locking component are provided. The column structure is fixedly installed on the wall. When a bicycle needs to be placed on the bicycle rack, the front or rear wheel of the bicycle is pushed into the wheel placement assembly. The locking component changes from a second locking position to a first locking position, and the wheel fixing structure changes from a loose state to a clamping state, fixing the front or rear wheel of the bicycle. Then, the base moves away from the second locking structure, and the bicycle moves along with the base away from the second locking structure, easily fixing the bicycle vertically to the wall. When you want to remove the bicycle, pull the bicycle down and press down on the bicycle wheel clamped by the wheel fixing structure, causing the base to move closer to the second locking structure. At this time, the locking component changes from a first locking position to a second locking position, the base cannot move further, and the wheel fixing structure changes from a clamping state to a loose state, allowing the bicycle to be removed.
