Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bicycle brackets, and particularly to a bicycle mounting bracket. Background Art

[0002] A bicycle frame generally includes a down tube, a seat tube, and sometimes a top tube. Since bicycles are lightweight, there are relatively few places where equipment (accessories) can be fixed, and most equipment needs to be fixed to these places. However, the sizes of the down tube, seat tube, and top tube of bicycles vary greatly, posing a huge challenge to the compatibility of installed accessories.

[0003] Most existing bicycle brackets use rigid connections, such as U-shaped brackets. However, the sizes of U-shaped brackets are generally fixed. If the U-shaped bracket is made too large, when encountering relatively small down tubes, seat tubes, and top tubes, there is a situation where it is prone to slide or loosen after installation; if the U-shaped bracket is made too small, then when encountering larger down tubes, seat tubes, and top tubes, it will face the situation of not being able to be directly installed.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in the art for a new type of bicycle mounting bracket to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bicycle mounting bracket to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art. By turning the tie strap screw, the size of the flexible tie strap can be adjusted to install it on pipe fittings of different sizes.

[0026] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] As Figures 1-3 shown, this embodiment provides a bicycle mounting bracket, which includes a fixed bracket 1 and a flexible tie strap 2. A tie strap adjustment through hole is provided on the fixed bracket 1, and a tie strap screw 3 is rotatably connected in the tie strap adjustment through hole. A tie strap insertion channel 101 is located on one side of the tie strap adjustment through hole and is communicated with it. The movable end of the tie strap adjustment hole can be inserted into the tie strap insertion channel 101. In addition, an external thread of the tie strap is provided on the outer side of the flexible tie strap 2, and the external thread of the tie strap is adapted to the external thread of the tie strap screw 3 and can be meshed with each other. One end (i.e., the fixed end) of the flexible tie strap 2 is fixed to the fixed bracket 1. As Figure 2 shown, the other end (i.e., the movable end) of the flexible tie strap 2 is inserted through the tie strap insertion channel 101 from one side of the tie strap adjustment through hole, so that the tie strap screw 3 contacts and is threadedly connected to the external thread of the tie strap.

[0028] When actually installing the fixed bracket 1, first attach the fixed bracket 1 to the pre-installed pipe fitting (including but not limited to the upper tube, lower tube, and vertical tube on the bicycle), and then wrap the movable end of the flexible tie strap 2 around the pre-installed pipe fitting once and insert it into the tie strap insertion channel 101 to contact the tie strap screw 3. At this time, turning the tie strap screw 3 can drive the further movement of the flexible tie strap 2. As the flexible tie strap 2 moves continuously, the circular size formed by the flexible tie strap 2 decreases continuously, so as to tightly hold the pre-installed pipe fitting until the tie strap screw 3 cannot be turned anymore, then the installation of the flexible tie strap 2 and the fixed bracket 1 can be completed.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the fixed bracket 1 is also provided with a cable tie fixing channel 102 and a cable tie sliding channel 103. Here, it should be noted that the cable tie insertion channel 101, the cable tie fixing channel 102, and the cable tie sliding channel 103 are all rectangular channels. One end of the flexible cable tie 2 is fixed to the cable tie fixing channel 102. The size of the cable tie fixing channel 102 is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional size of the flexible cable tie 2, and the two are in an interference fit to achieve fixation. The other end of the flexible cable tie 2 is slidably connected within the cable tie sliding channel 103.

[0030] The installation schematic diagram of the flexible cable tie 2 is as Figure 2 shown. The fixed end of the flexible cable tie 2 is fixed within the cable tie fixing channel 102 on the right side. The movable end of the flexible cable tie 2 is inserted from the bottom up through the cable tie insertion channel 101 on the left side. After passing through the cable tie insertion channel 101, the flexible cable tie 2 moves horizontally to the right and passes through the cable tie sliding channel 103 from top to bottom.

[0031] The excess flexible cable tie 2 can be limited through the cable tie sliding channel 103, preventing the flexible cable tie 2 from extending outwards, and there is no need to cut off the excess flexible cable tie 2, which is both beautiful and time-saving.

[0032] In this embodiment, the inner side surface of the flexible cable tie 2 is provided with corrugations. By using the corrugations to contact the cable tie insertion channel 101 and the cable tie sliding channel 103, the friction force of the flexible cable tie 2 can be further increased to prevent the flexible cable tie 2 from slipping off.

[0033] In this embodiment, there are two flexible cable ties 2, and the two flexible cable ties 2 are evenly distributed on both sides of the fixed bracket 1. For the specific material of the flexible cable tie 2, it includes but is not limited to materials with certain flexibility such as rubber and plastic.

[0034] In this embodiment, the fixed bracket 1 is also connected with a reinforcing steel cable 5. Both ends of the reinforcing steel cable 5 can be clamped on the fixed bracket 1, and the circle formed by the reinforcing steel cable 5 can enclose the pre-installed pipe fittings (including but not limited to the upper tube, lower tube, and vertical tube on a bicycle). Moreover, the diameter of the circle formed by the reinforcing steel cable 5 can be slightly larger than the size of the pre-installed pipe fittings. The purpose is to prevent the fixed bracket 1 from directly detaching from the pre-installed pipe fittings of the bicycle once the flexible cable tie 2 is damaged. Therefore, the purpose of adding the reinforcing steel cable 5 is to enhance the anti-theft performance of the fixed bracket 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, for the specific connection method of the reinforcing steel cable 5, there are two steel cable fixing through holes on the fixed bracket 1, and the two steel cable fixing through holes are located on both sides of the fixed bracket 1. Each steel cable fixing through hole is provided with a plug lock piece 7. The plug lock piece 7 is an arc-shaped gasket, and its central angle is greater than 270° and less than 360°.

[0036] At both ends of the reinforcing steel cable 5, a steel cable plug 6 is respectively fixed. As Figure 3 shown, a slot is provided at the lower end of the steel cable plug 6. The end of the reinforcing steel cable 5 is inserted into the slot, and then the end of the reinforcing steel cable 5 is pressed in the slot by using a pressing process, so as to realize the fixation of the reinforcing steel cable 5 and the steel cable plug 6.

[0037] An annular clamping groove is provided on the outer side wall of the steel cable plug 6, and the upper end of the steel cable plug 6 is of a conical structure with a gradually increasing diameter from top to bottom. The annular clamping groove is located at the lower end of the conical structure. When installing the reinforcing steel cable 5, the steel cable plug 6 is inserted into the steel cable fixing through hole. During this process, the conical structure at the upper end of the steel cable plug 6 gradually passes through the plug lock piece 7 first. After the conical structure on the steel cable plug 6 completely passes through the plug lock piece 7, the annular clamping groove just contacts and engages with the plug lock piece 7, so as to realize the engagement of the steel cable plug 6 and the plug lock piece 7 and complete the fixation of both ends of the reinforcing steel cable 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, two kettle bracket screws 4 are further provided on the fixing bracket 1. When the kettle bracket is not installed on the vertical pipe of the bicycle, the fixing bracket 1 can be installed at the installation hole position of the kettle bracket on the bicycle by using the two kettle bracket screws 4, so as to further reinforce the installation stability of the fixing bracket 1.

[0039] In the present invention, specific examples are used to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present invention; at the same time, for those of ordinary skill in the art, according to the idea of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation manner and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
