Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the Chinese patent application filed on October 17, 2024, with application number 2024114490175 and invention name “Electric-assisted bicycle frame with electric stand and electric-assisted mountain bicycle”. Technical Field

[0002] The present invention relates to the technical field of electric bicycles, and more specifically, to the field of structural design and functional improvement of electric-assisted mountain bicycles. The present invention is mainly directed to the frame structure and support system of electric-assisted mountain bicycles, and more particularly to the design of an integrated electric stand support device and its application in electric-assisted mountain bicycles. Background Art

[0003] In recent years, electric-assisted mountain bikes have become increasingly popular due to their ability to adapt to complex road conditions and long-distance riding. Such vehicles usually use a frame structure similar to that described in the authorization announcement No. CN101428659 B, including a handlebar, a steering shaft connecting the handlebar, longitudinal beams in the front and rear directions, etc. However, existing electric-assisted mountain bikes still have significant deficiencies in the parking support system.

[0004] Currently, most electric mountain bikes are only equipped with side supports, which can only provide single-point support. In contrast, the upright support system can carry most of the vehicle's weight on two support points, providing better stability. This problem is also reflected in the authorization announcement number CN 219134296 U, which mentions the "poor stability problem of the double support connection area" and enhances the overall strength through improvements to the frame structure.

[0005] The special feature of electric mountain bikes is that they are equipped with a power supply unit (battery). Once the vehicle falls over due to unstable support, it may not only damage expensive electronic components, but also cause safety hazards. Therefore, equipping electric mountain bikes with an efficient and stable support system is not only a requirement to improve parking stability, but also an important safety consideration.

[0006] However, traditional stand systems often have the following problems: the structure is bulky, affecting the overall appearance and riding performance of the vehicle. Manual operation is inconvenient, especially for electric mountain bikes with heavy loads, it may take considerable effort to unfold and retract the stand. The integration with the overall structure of the vehicle is low, and it is often used as an independent additional component, which affects the integrity and appearance of the vehicle.

[0007] Although CN101428659 B and CN 219134296 U have made improvements in the frame structure and stability, they still fail to solve the unique stand support requirements of electric mountain bikes. The former is mainly aimed at the design of four-wheeled bicycles, while the latter focuses on the optimization of the frame structure, and neither directly solves the problem of the stand support system of electric mountain bikes. Summary of the invention

[0008] In view of this, the present invention provides an electric-assisted mountain bicycle frame with an electric stand and an integrated electric stand device. Through an innovative linkage mechanism, efficient and stable automatic unfolding and storage functions are achieved, which significantly improves the convenience and safety of use while maintaining the beauty and riding performance of the bicycle.

The optimized space layout helps to maintain the streamlined appearance and good weight distribution of the vehicle. Improved stability: The direct connection between the electric stand and the horizontal pipe axis provides a solid support point for the stand. This design can improve the stability of the vehicle when parked and reduce the risk of tipping. Convenient operation: The design of the electric stand eliminates the steps of traditional manual operation, greatly improving the convenience of use. Riders can easily operate the stand through the control system and complete parking support without getting off the vehicle.

Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.

[0037] Embodiment 1: like Figure 1 , Fig.10 , Fig.12 As shown, an electric-assisted bicycle frame with an electric stand and the overall structure of an electric-assisted mountain bicycle based on the frame are shown. Figure 1 Showing the standing state, Fig.10 The pole is shown in the stowed state. Fig.12 It is a bottom view of the support rod folded. The overall structure is indicated by the figure mark 10, which mainly includes the following parts: 1) Frame 1: It is a preferred triangular structure and is the main frame of the vehicle. It includes an integrated electric stand system and is also the core part of the present invention.

[0038] 2) Power supply and control unit 2: provides electric assistance and controls the standing action. The power supply and control unit 2 includes a display control screen 21 and a battery 9. The display control screen 21 is mounted on the handlebar 22. The battery 9 is preferably detachably fixed to the bicycle frame 1, specifically located on the upper side of the front lower beam 12. This design ensures the stability of the battery and facilitates disassembly and maintenance.

[0039] 3) Electric motor 101: Provides pedal force assistance to the rider through electrical connection.

[0040] 4) Accessories such as wheels, seats, and front forks. The front wheel 30 is rotatably supported on the front of the frame through the front fork 18. The rear wheel 40 is rotatably supported on the rear structure 17 to form a stable rear wheel support structure. The seat 50 is fixedly mounted on the upper beam 11 and the upper part of the rear lower beam 13.

[0041] The main components of the frame 1 include: an upper beam 11, a front lower beam 12, a rear lower beam 13, a steering tube 14, a pedal mounting tube shaft 19, a rear structure 17, and an integrated electric stand support system 20. Among them: the upper beam 11, the front lower beam 12, and the rear lower beam 13 are combined into a triangular structure; the steering tube 14 is located at the connection between the front lower beam 12 and the upper beam 11, and is used to install the front fork 18; the pedal mounting tube shaft 19 is located at the connection between the front lower beam 12 and the rear lower beam 13, and the rear structure 17 is fixedly connected to the pedal mounting tube shaft 19. The rear structure 17 includes a chain stay 15 and a support beam 16. In particular, in the rear structure 17, a horizontal tube shaft 171 is provided on the side close to the pedal mounting tube shaft 19. The horizontal tube shaft 171 is a key structure of the integrated electric stand support system 20, which reflects the innovative design of the frame.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 - Fig. 9 The main components of the electric stand support device 20 include: a. Device body 201: Pivotally mounted on the horizontal tube shaft 171, it is the basic part of the entire stand device. b. Linkage assembly 60 installed in the device body 201. c. Fixed shaft 202: Fixedly set on the upper surface of the horizontal tube shaft 171, providing support and rotation axis for other components. d. Rocker 203: This is a key connection and transmission component, with the following characteristics: the middle section is sleeved on the fixed shaft 202 to ensure that it can rotate around the fixed shaft. One end is the sliding part 02, which extends into the inside of the device body 201 and is used to transmit force and movement. The other end is the force-bearing part 03, which is used to receive the force from the motor transmission mechanism. e. Support rod 204: Two support rods installed on the device body 201 can be switched between the support state and the storage state. These two support rods are the components that actually contact the ground and support the bicycle. f. Motor transmission mechanism 205: This is the power source and control center of the entire device. Its main function is to apply a downward pressure to the force-bearing part 03 of the seesaw 203, and drive the device body 201 to move through the movement of the seesaw 203, so as to control the expansion and folding of the two support rods 204 under the action of the linkage assembly 60. The motor transmission mechanism can be implemented in a variety of different forms. For example: gear transmission, one or more gear sets can be used to convert the rotational motion of the motor into the required linear or rotational motion to drive the seesaw. Chain transmission, through chain transmission, the power of the motor can be flexibly transmitted to the seesaw to achieve its up and down movement. Worm gear transmission, it can convert the rotational motion of the motor into a larger linear motion or a low-speed rotational motion. In situations where a larger transmission ratio and precise control are required, worm gear transmission is a good choice. Linear motor, in applications that require high-speed, high-precision linear motion, linear motors are an ideal choice.

[0043] Working principle: When the stand is needed, the motor transmission mechanism 205 drives the rocker 203 to rotate a certain angle. The rocker 203 interacts with the internal structure of the device body 201 through its sliding portion 02, driving the entire device body 201 to rotate, thereby triggering the linkage assembly 60. In this process, the two support rods 204 are converted from the storage state to the support state, providing stable support for the bicycle. The stowing process is restored through the linkage assembly 60.

[0044] The advantages of this design are: compact structure, no impact on the overall appearance and riding performance of the bicycle, electric operation, easy to use, no effort required by the rider, and can be integrated with other electronic systems of the bicycle through the control system to achieve intelligent control.

[0045] The detailed structure of the device main body 201 (see Fig. 9) includes: a. a shaft seat 206 with a core shaft, which is located at the bottom of the main body, mainly composed of a solid part, and is the foundation of the entire structure; b. an outer ring 207, which is parallel to the axis of the shaft seat 206, located above the middle section of the shaft seat 206, and is an integral structure with the intersection of the shaft seat 206. The outer ring 207 is sleeved on the central outer ring of the horizontal pipe shaft 171 to provide rotation support; c. a connecting piece 208, which is two symmetrical connecting pieces fixed at both ends of the shaft seat 206, and the area of ​​each connecting piece at least covers the outer ring 207 The center of the horizontal tube 171 and the outer ring 207 are coaxial with the outer ring 207 and the two pivots are respectively fixed at the opposite directions of the two connecting pieces 208 to realize the rotation function of the whole device; e. The flip rod 210 connects the extended parts of the two connecting pieces 208 to form a complete frame structure. The flip rod 210 is in contact with the rocker plate 203 and is a key component for force transmission.

[0046] Considering that the rotation range of the two support rods 204 between the supporting and storage states is usually more than 90 degrees, if this process is completed only by the rotation of the device body 201, the following problems will occur: 1) The motor transmission mechanism 205 needs a larger movement range. 2) The support process takes a long time. 3) The entire mechanism occupies a large space, and the movement process is prone to interference, and the layout avoidance increases the complexity of the mechanism. In order to solve these problems, reduce the movement range of the motor transmission mechanism 205, shorten the support time, and optimize space utilization, this design introduces a linkage component 60.

[0047] The detailed structure of the linkage assembly 60 (see Fig. 9 ),include: 1) A support swivel seat 61, which is rotatably mounted on the core shaft of the shaft seat 206, and the main body is a shaft sleeve, and the outer periphery of the middle section of the shaft sleeve is provided with transmission meshing teeth 62; 2) Rolling element 63, which is arranged on the outer circumference of outer ring 207, has the same spacing as transmission meshing teeth 62, is close in size, and can rotate freely; the cooperation between rolling element 63 and synchronous belt 64 ensures the stability and synchronization of the transmission process, and reduces transmission error and vibration; 3) A synchronous belt 64, which matches the transmission meshing teeth 62 and the rolling element 63 so as to mesh synchronously, and has transmission teeth on the outer periphery; 4) a transmission belt 67, one end of which has an elastic retractable or elastic retractable box and is fixed below the pedal mounting tube shaft 19, the other end of which is wound around the outer periphery of the synchronous belt 64 and is located below the rocker plate 203 and the end of which is fixed above the pedal mounting tube shaft 19, and at least part of the contact with the synchronous belt 64 has meshing teeth that cooperate with the outer teeth of the synchronous belt 64; 5) An avoidance hole 65 is provided on the plate surface of the rocker plate 203 for avoiding the synchronous belt 64; 6) The pressing portion 66 is arranged on the lower surface of the rocker plate 203 close to the force-bearing portion 03 and extends downward to press the synchronous belt 64 to force the synchronous belt 64 to move.

[0048] Working principle: In the initial state, the two support rods 204 are fixed on the support swivel 61 at a set angle.

[0049] a) When the seesaw 203 is subjected to force, it first drives the device body 201 to rotate.

[0050] b) At the same time, the pressing portion 66 presses the synchronous belt 64, causing the synchronous belt 64 to rotate.

[0051] c) The rotation of the synchronous belt 64 drives the supporting rotating seat 61 to rotate through the transmission meshing teeth 62.

[0052] d) The rotation of the support swivel 61 further drives the two support rods 204 to rotate.

[0053] Thus, the final rotation angle of the support rod 204 is the sum of the rotation angle of the device body 201 and the rotation angle of the support swivel 61. This design realizes complex movements and a wider range of rotation in a limited space while maintaining the compactness of the structure.

[0054] Storage process: When the stand needs to be stored, the elastic expansion and contraction or elastic retracting mechanism of the stretching belt will assist the support swivel seat 61 and the support rod 204 to return to the initial position. In addition, to further increase the stability of reset and storage, a reset torsion spring 04 is arranged inside the two pivots and the horizontal pipe shaft 171, so that the device body 201 always has a deflection prestress toward the storage side.

[0055] In some embodiments, the design of the two struts 204 is optimized to improve stability and adaptability. The strut structure includes an upper section 71 that maintains a straight line shape and a lower section 72 that has an outwardly expanding arc or angle; The two support rods 204 can rotate along the axis of the upper section 71 to achieve synchronous expansion or convergence. This design ensures that the curvature or angle does not affect the storage space and provides greater stability in the supporting state.

[0056] The specific implementation method includes: two spherical rotating joints 73 are respectively provided on the supporting rotating seat 61 and are movably connected with the two supporting rods 204; The upper section 71 is provided with a thread line 74, and a movable block 75 having two holes respectively passing through the two upper sections 71 is provided, and the movable block 75 is threadedly engaged with the thread line 74. The movement of the movable block 75 can make the two support rods 204 gather together or expand outward synchronously; Pulling mechanism (refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5), a pull rod or a pull rope is set at the sliding part 02, connected to the movable block 75, and the length or connection mechanism is designed so that it can just pull the movable block 75 when the rocker 203 moves, so as to expand the two support rods 204 outward when supporting.

[0057] A return spring 76 is provided above the movable block 75 to restore the support rod to its initial position during the storage process.

[0058] Working principle: Unfolding process: a) When the rocker 203 moves, the movable block 75 is pulled by the pull rod or the pull rope b) The movable block 75 moves on the thread line 74, driving the two support rods 204 to expand outward synchronously. c) The ball swivel joint 73 allows the necessary angle adjustment of the strut d) The curvature or angle of the lower section 72 of the support rod provides additional support area and stability Storage process: a) When the storage starts, the return spring 76 pushes the movable block 75 b) The movable block 75 moves in the opposite direction on the thread line 74, bringing the two support rods 204 together. c) The gathered poles are easier to store, reducing the space occupied Although the present invention has been disclosed in conjunction with certain embodiments shown and described in detail, various modifications and improvements thereto will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art having benefit of the disclosure herein. Therefore, the spirit and scope of the present invention will not be limited by the foregoing examples, but will be understood in the broadest sense permitted by law.
