Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bicycle, and in particular to a wiring assembly for a bicycle. Background Art

[0002] Generally, bicycles use multiple wires to control the operation of various mechanisms, such as the speed change system, the brake system, etc. The wires can be cables for physical operation, wires for transmitting electronic signals, or pipes for hydraulic transmission. Most existing bicycles will lead the wires through the handlebars into the handlebar stem and the head tube, or directly from the handlebar stem or the head bowl into the head tube to avoid the wires being exposed and easily damaged.

[0003] However, the wiring method of introducing the wires through the handlebars is not convenient during assembly and is not conducive to maintenance and replacement. The wiring method of introducing the wires directly from the handlebar riser or the front headset requires opening a threading hole, which makes it easy for liquid to flow into the handlebar riser or the front headset through the threading hole, thereby causing concerns such as rust, damage, and inability to operate smoothly of the parts. There are shortcomings that need to be improved urgently.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a novel and progressive wiring assembly for a bicycle to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the invention

[0059] The following are only examples to illustrate possible implementations of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The "one" or "at least one" preceding the nouns mentioned in the text does not limit the quantity, and it can also be "plural" according to needs. This change in quantity is also within the scope of the protection, which is stated in advance.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , which shows a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The wiring assembly 1 of the bicycle of the present invention is provided between a handlebar stem 2 and a head tube 3 of a bicycle. A channel 6 for passing at least one wire 5 is provided between the head tube 3 and a front fork stem 4 of the bicycle. The wiring assembly 1 of the bicycle includes: a cover body 10.

[0061] The cover body 10 includes a sleeve portion 11 for sleeved on the front fork stem 4 and a shielding portion 12 extending radially outward from the sleeve portion 11. The shielding portion 12 surrounds an opening 121 opened toward a side away from the handlebar stem 2, thereby, the at least one wire 5 can be introduced into the head tube 3 through the opening 121, which is convenient for wiring. The opening 121 is open downward to effectively prevent water from rusting and damaging the internal parts.

[0062] The wiring assembly 1 of the bicycle further includes a ring seat 20 for being sleeved on the front fork vertical tube 4, and the ring seat 20 includes at least one first wire groove 21 for passing the at least one wire 5, and the at least one first wire groove 21 is connected to the opening 121 and the channel 6. In an axial direction A of the sleeve portion 11, the shielding portion 12 completely shields the at least one first wire groove 21, and the distance D1 that the shielding portion 12 radially protrudes from the at least one first wire groove 21 is not less than 2 times a radial dimension D2 of the first wire groove 21, and the waterproof effect is good. Preferably, the shielding portion 12 includes two outer side surfaces 122 located on two opposite sides of the opening 121, and the two outer side surfaces 122 extend obliquely toward each other toward a side away from the handlebar vertical tube 2, such as Figure 6 As shown, the liquid can be guided and is not conducive to the liquid entering the opening 121.

[0063] Specifically, the shielding portion 12 includes a baffle 123 and two side plates 124 disposed on two opposite sides of the baffle 123. The height of each side plate 124 protruding from the baffle 123 is not less than 5 mm, and the shielding effect is good. A surface 125 of the baffle 123 facing the handle stand 2 extends from the two side plates 124 in an inward concave arc to fit the handle stand 2, and the assembly stability and aesthetics are good. Preferably, the surface 125 of the baffle 123 facing the handle stand 2 is provided with two grooves 126, and the two grooves 126 extend respectively corresponding to the two side plates 124, so that the shielding portion 12 has appropriate flexibility and can fit the handle stand 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, the sleeve portion 11 includes an inner wall 111 and an outer wall 112 that surrounds the inner wall 111. The shielding portion 12 is formed by the outer wall 112 extending in one piece, and has good structural strength and waterproof effect. The sleeve portion 11 also includes a plurality of reinforcing ribs 113 connected between the inner wall 111 and the outer wall 112, which can effectively improve the structural strength and help to reduce weight. A positioning protrusion 114 is protruded on the side of the sleeve portion 11 that is relatively far away from the ring seat 20. The positioning protrusion 114 is embedded in the handle stand pipe 2, and the assembly stability is good.

[0065] Preferably, the cover body 10 further includes a first convex rib 13 protruding from the baffle 123 and a second convex rib 14 transverse to the first convex rib 13, the first convex rib 13 is located in the opening 121 and connected between the two side plates 124, and the second convex rib 14 is connected between the first convex rib 13 and the inner wall 111, so as to achieve a reinforcement effect and prevent the shielding portion 12 from bending, deforming, or breaking relative to the sleeve portion 11.

[0066] The wiring assembly 1 of the bicycle further includes at least one spacer 30, 30a sandwiched between the cover 10 and the ring seat 20, each of the spacers 30, 30a is sleeved on the front fork stem 4 and includes at least one second wire groove 31 communicating with the opening 121 and the at least one first wire groove 21, thereby adjusting the distance between the cover 10 and the ring seat 20 according to the distance between the handlebar stem 2 and the head tube 3, and having a wide range of applications and good assembly stability. For example, the wiring assembly 1 of the bicycle may include two spacers 30, 30a, whose thicknesses are 5 mm and 10 mm respectively, and the user may choose to use the two spacers 30, 30a at the same time, use only one of the spacers 30, 30a, or not use the two spacers 30, 30a according to the existing structural requirements of the bicycle.

[0067] In this embodiment, each of the spacers 30, 30a further includes a first end 32 and a second end 33. The first end 32 is provided with a buckle protrusion 321, and the second end 33 is provided with a buckle groove 331. The buckle protrusion 321 and the buckle groove 331 are buckled to form a sleeve 34 for being sleeved on the front fork stem 4. Figure 5 As shown, the sleeve 34 is connected to the at least one second wire groove 31, and the structure is simple and easy to disassemble. However, each of the spacers can also be an undetachable closed ring, and when the handlebar stand is detached, it can also be directly sleeved on the front fork stand.

[0068] Mate Reference Figure 7 When in use, the at least one wire 5 can pass through the opening 121, the at least one first wire groove 21 and the at least one second wire groove 31 into the channel 6, which is convenient for wiring and the shielding portion 12 can effectively shield the at least one first wire groove 21 and / or the at least one second wire groove 31, and has a good waterproof effect.

[0069] The cover 10 and the at least one spacer 30, 30a are respectively provided with a first alignment portion 15, 35 on one side facing the ring seat 20, and the ring seat 20 and the at least one spacer 30, 30a are respectively provided with a second alignment portion 22, 36 on one side facing the cover 10. The first alignment portion 15, 35 and the second alignment portion 22, 36 are detachably engaged with each other. Each of the first alignment portions 15, 35, for example, includes at least one protruding column, and each of the second alignment portions 22, 36, for example, includes at least one notch, so as to avoid relative displacement and achieve an alignment effect for stable assembly.
