[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] See also Figure 1-8 , a locking clamp ring and oil pipe hidden oil disc upper pump, comprising:

[0032] A cross tube assembly 1, the cross tube assembly 1 comprising a cross tube 101, a handle cover 102 and an internal expansion member 2, the cross tube 101 is provided with two holes, the handle cover 102 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cross tube 101, and the internal expansion mechanism is used to fix the upper pump 302 inside the cross tube 101;

[0033] The handle assembly 3 includes a brake handle 301 and an upper pump 302. The upper pump 302 has two protruding parts: an upper pump oil pipe protrusion 303 and an upper pump fixing protrusion 304. The upper pump oil pipe protrusion 303 is used to connect the oil pipe assembly 6. The upper pump fixing protrusion 304 is used to connect the inner expansion member 2. The upper pump oil pipe protrusion 303 and the upper pump fixing protrusion 304 are respectively inserted into two holes on the cross pipe. The upper pump oil pipe protrusion 303 is provided with an upper pump oil passage hole 305.

[0034] An oil-through screw 4, which is fixed to the upper pump oil receiving pipe protrusion 303 by threaded connection, and a T-shaped oil-through screw oil passage 5 is provided inside the oil-through screw 4 for guiding the oil from the upper pump cavity to the universal joint 601;

[0035] The oil pipe assembly 6 includes a universal joint 601, an oil needle 602, an oil pipe 603, a clamping ring 604 and a clamping ring locking screw 605. The universal joint 601 is locked on the upper pump oil pipe protrusion 303 by the oil screw 4. The oil needle 602 is inserted into the oil pipe 603. The clamping ring 604 passes through the oil pipe 603 and is connected to the universal joint 601 by the clamping ring locking screw 605. The front end of the oil needle 602 is provided with an oil needle sealing ring 606 for sealing.

[0036] The internal expansion component 2 includes an internal expansion lower slider 201, an internal expansion upper slider 202, an upper pump fixing screw 203 and an internal expansion fixing ring 204. The upper pump fixing screw 203 passes through the internal expansion upper slider 202 and the internal expansion lower slider 201, and is threadedly connected to the upper pump fixing protrusion 304 through the internal expansion fixing ring 204.

[0037] The device is provided with an internal expansion member 2 to fix the upper pump 302 on the handlebar tube 101, the internal expansion lower slider 201 and the internal expansion upper slider 202 are connected through the upper pump fixing screw 203, and the internal expansion fixing ring 204 is sleeved on the upper pump fixing screw 203 to prevent the slider and the screw from falling off. The internal expansion mechanism is connected to the upper pump fixing protrusion 304 through the upper pump fixing screw 203. When the upper pump fixing screw 203 is tightened, the internal expansion lower slider 201 and the internal expansion upper slider 202 slide relative to each other under the pressure of the screw. Since the contact surface of the two sliders is an inclined surface, radial expansion force is generated during sliding, so that the slider is pressed against the inner wall of the handlebar tube 101. This internal expansion force can firmly fix the upper pump 302 inside the handlebar tube 101. That is, the internal expansion mechanism can be completely hidden inside the handlebar tube 101, and no locking device can be seen from the outside, making the appearance more simple and beautiful.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] This embodiment further adds the following improvements on the basis of the first embodiment: the handle assembly 3 also includes a shaft disc 306, a push rod 307, a piston 308 and a lip seal 309, the brake handle 301 is connected to the push rod 307 through the shaft disc 306, one end of the push rod 307 is connected to the shaft disc 306, and the other end is connected to the piston 308, the front end of the piston 308 is fixedly connected to the lip seal 309, the shaft disc 306, the push rod 307, the piston 308 and the lip seal 309 are all arranged inside the upper pump 302.

[0040] The upper pump oil passage hole 305 of the device is connected with the oil passage screw oil passage 5.

[0041] The oil pipe assembly 6 of the present device also includes a universal joint oil circuit 607, an oil needle oil circuit 608 and an oil pipe oil circuit 609. A universal joint oil circuit 607 is provided inside the universal joint 601 for guiding the oil from the oil screw oil circuit 5 to the oil needle 602. An oil needle oil circuit 608 is provided inside the oil needle 602 for guiding the oil from the universal joint oil circuit 607 to the oil pipe 603. An oil pipe oil circuit 609 is provided inside the oil pipe 603 for guiding the oil from the oil needle oil circuit 608 to the lower caliper.

[0042] Universal joint oil seals 7 are respectively pressed on the front and rear ends of the universal joint 601 of the device to prevent oil leakage.

[0043] When the rider presses the brake handle 301, the brake handle 301 drives the push rod 307 to move forward through the shaft disc 306, and the push rod 307 pushes the piston 308 to move in the cavity of the upper pump 302, squeezing the brake oil in the cavity. The oil enters the oil screw oil circuit 5 through the upper pump oil circuit hole 305, and then passes to the lower caliper through the universal joint oil circuit 607, the oil needle oil circuit 608 and the oil pipe oil circuit 609, pushing the caliper piston to achieve braking. When the rider releases the brake handle 301, the push rod 307 returns to its position under the action of the spring, and the piston 308 also returns to its position. The oil returns from the lower caliper to the cavity of the upper pump 302, the caliper piston returns to its position, and the brake is released.

[0044] The connection mechanism between the brake handle 301 and the upper pump 302 of the device is hidden inside the handlebar cross tube 101, and the oil pipe 603 and the connection mechanism are not visible from the outside, making the appearance cleaner and neater.

[0045] How it works

[0046] The device is provided with an internal expansion member 2 to fix the upper pump 302 on the handlebar tube 101, the internal expansion lower slider 201 and the internal expansion upper slider 202 are connected by the upper pump fixing screw 203, and the internal expansion fixing ring 204 is sleeved on the upper pump fixing screw 203 to prevent the slider and the screw from falling off. The internal expansion mechanism is connected to the upper pump fixing protrusion 304 through the upper pump fixing screw 203. When the upper pump fixing screw 203 is tightened, the internal expansion lower slider 201 and the internal expansion upper slider 202 slide relative to each other under the pressure of the screw. Since the contact surface of the two sliders is an inclined surface, radial expansion force is generated during sliding, so that the slider is pressed against the inner wall of the handlebar tube 101. This internal expansion force can firmly fix the upper pump 302 inside the handlebar tube 101.

[0047] When the rider presses the brake handle 301, the brake handle 301 drives the push rod 307 to move forward through the shaft disc 306, and the push rod 307 pushes the piston 308 to move in the cavity of the upper pump 302, squeezing the brake oil in the cavity. The oil enters the oil screw oil circuit 5 through the upper pump oil circuit hole 305, and then passes to the lower caliper through the universal joint oil circuit 607, the oil needle oil circuit 608 and the oil pipe oil circuit 609, pushing the caliper piston to achieve braking. When the rider releases the brake handle 301, the push rod 307 returns to its position under the action of the spring, and the piston 308 also returns to its position. The oil returns from the lower caliper to the cavity of the upper pump 302, the caliper piston returns to its position, and the brake is released.

[0048] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention.
