[0046] Referring to Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a handlebar assembly 100. The handlebar assembly 100 includes a connecting member 20 and a handlebar 10. The handlebar 10 is connected to the connecting member 20. The handlebar 10 is for holding by hand, and the handlebar assembly 100 is connected to the front wheel through the connecting member 20. When a rider rotates the handlebar 10, the handlebar 10 drives the connecting member 20 to rotate, which can change the direction of the front wheel of the bicycle and plays a role in guiding the bicycle.

[0047] Specifically, the handlebar 10 is connected to one end of the connecting member 20, and the other end of the connecting member 20 is connected to the front wheel. The handlebar assembly 100 further includes a reinforcing member 30, and the reinforcing member 30 connects the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Optionally, one end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10, and the other end is connected to the connecting member 20.

[0048] Referring to Figure 5 , the connecting member 20 includes a vertical tube 21 and a front fork 22. The vertical tube 21 is disposed between the front fork 22 and the handlebar 10, and the reinforcing member 30 connects the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube 21 and / or connects the handlebar 10 and the front fork 22.

[0049] Here, it should be noted that the reinforcing member 30 connecting the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube 21 and / or connecting the handlebar 10 and the front fork 22 includes the following three cases:

[0050] The reinforcing member 30 connects the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube 21;

[0051] The reinforcing member 30 connects the handlebar 10 and the front fork 22;

[0052] The reinforcing member 30 is connected to both the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube 21, and also connected to the handlebar 10 and the front fork 22.

[0053] The reinforcing member 30 is tightly arranged between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Since the extending directions of the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 intersect, a receiving space is formed between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20, and the reinforcing member 30 is arranged in the receiving space formed by the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. The reinforcing member 30, the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 form a triangular structure A.

[0054] Optionally, the reinforcing member 30 can be a reinforcing rope or a reinforcing steel pipe, etc., which is not limited herein.

[0055] The handlebar assembly 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a reinforcing member 30. The reinforcing member 30 is tightly arranged between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. The reinforcing member 30, the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 form a triangular structure A. The triangular structure A has the characteristics of being stable, firm and pressure-resistant. Compared with the T-shaped structure formed by the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube in the prior art, the formation of the triangular structure A can improve the rigidity between the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube. Even if the rider shakes the handlebar 10 violently during riding, it is not easy to cause the displacement of the handlebar 10 and the vertical tube, meeting the needs of high-speed riding.

[0056] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 , the handlebar assembly 100 includes a socket member 70, and the socket member 70 is sleeved on one end of the vertical tube 21. The handlebar assembly 100 further includes a double binder 60. The double binder 60 includes a first collar and a second collar. The first collar is sleeved outside the socket member 70, and the second collar is sleeved outside the handlebar 10 to realize the detachable connection between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20.

[0057] Specifically, the handlebar assembly 100 includes two double binders 60. The first collars of the two double binders 60 are respectively sleeved on both ends of the socket member 70 extending out of the connecting member 20, and the second collars of the two double binders 60 are both sleeved on the handlebar 10 to realize the connection between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. The handlebar 10 can be an integrally formed handlebar 10 or a split handlebar 10. When the handlebar 10 is a split handlebar 10, the handlebar 10 includes a first handle body and a second handle body, and the first handle body and the second handle body are spliced to form the handlebar 10. At this time, the second collar of one double binder 60 is sleeved outside the first handle body, and the second collar of the other double binder 60 is sleeved outside the second handle body.

[0058] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 can also be directly connected, such as by welding. Or, the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 can also be integrally formed.

[0059] It should be noted here that the handlebar 10 in this application can be a straight handlebar or a curved handlebar, and the shape of the handlebar 10 is not limited.

[0060] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 , the handlebar 10 includes a first connecting section 11, a second connecting section 12, and a suspended section 13. The first connecting section 11 is connected to the vertical tube 21, the second connecting section 12 is located between the first connecting section 11 and the suspended section 13, and the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the second connecting section 12. With this setting, it is avoided that the position where the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 is too close to the end part, which affects the riding effect. At the same time, it is avoided that the position where the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 is too close to the position where it is connected to the connecting member 20, ensuring sufficient strengthening effect. It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the position where the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 can be selected as needed and is not limited here.

[0061] In some other embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the reinforcing member 30 can also be connected to the suspended section 13 and is not limited here.

[0062] It should be noted here that when the handlebar 10 includes a split first handle body and a second handle body, a part of the first connecting section 11 is formed on the first handle body, and the remaining part is formed on the second handle body.

[0063] In some embodiments, the handlebar assembly 100 includes two reinforcing members 30, and the two reinforcing members 30 are distributed on both sides of the connecting member 20 in the extending direction of the handlebar 10. Each reinforcing member 30, handlebar 10, and connecting member 20 form a triangular structure A. With this setting, a triangular structure A is formed on both sides of the handlebar 10. Under the action of the two triangular structures A, the rigidity of the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 is further ensured, and the displacement of the handlebar 10 relative to the connecting member 20 during riding can be further reduced, meeting the requirements of high-speed riding.

[0064] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 , the connecting member 20 has a central axis L, and the two reinforcing members 30 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central axis L. In this way, the handlebar assembly 100 forms a left-right symmetric structure, which can further improve the rigidity of the structure.

[0065] It should be understood that in some other embodiments, the two reinforcing members 30 can also be arranged on both sides of the central axis L in an asymmetric manner and can be selected according to needs, which is not limited here either.

[0066] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 2, the handlebar assembly 100 further includes a first connecting member 40. The first connecting member 40 is connected to the handlebar 10, and one end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 through the first connecting member 40. By providing the first connecting member 40, the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the handlebar 10 is conveniently achieved.

[0067] Optionally, the first connecting member 40 is a collar sleeved outside the handlebar 10. Thus, when installing the reinforcing member 30, the collar is sleeved outside the handlebar 10, and one end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the collar, thereby achieving the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the handlebar 10.

[0068] Further, the handlebar assembly 100 further includes a second connecting member 50. The second connecting member 50 is connected to the connecting member 20, and the other end of the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the connecting member 20 through the second connecting member 50. By providing the second connecting member 50, the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the connecting member 20 is conveniently achieved.

[0069] Optionally, refer to Figure 4 , the second connecting member 50 includes a first connecting plate 51 and a second connecting plate 52 which are bent relatively. The first connecting plate 51 is attached and connected to the outer surface of the connecting member 20, the second connecting plate 52 extends away from the connecting member 20, and the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the second connecting plate 52. With such a setting, the second connecting plate 52 extends outward from the connecting member 20 by a preset distance to leave a space, which facilitates the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the second connecting plate 52 to achieve the connection between the reinforcing member 30 and the connecting member 20.

[0070] It can be understood that in some other embodiments, the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50 of the handlebar assembly 100 can be omitted, and at this time the reinforcing member 30 is directly connected to the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Meanwhile, when the handlebar assembly 100 includes the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50, there is no limitation on the specific setting manner of the first connecting member 40 and the second connecting member 50, as long as the effect of connecting the reinforcing member 30 to the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20 can be achieved.

[0071] In some embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 4 , the reinforcing member 30 includes a reinforcing main body 31 and an adjusting portion 32. The adjusting portion 32 can adjust the length of the reinforcing member 30 so that the reinforcing member 30 is tightly arranged between the handlebar 10 and the connecting member 20. Optionally, the reinforcing main body 31 is a steel wire rope. It can be conceived that in some other embodiments, there is no limitation on the material of the reinforcing main body 31.

[0072] In some specific embodiments, the reinforcing body 31 includes a first reinforcing section and a second reinforcing section, and the first reinforcing section and the second reinforcing section are connected by an adjusting portion 32. The adjusting portion 32 includes an adjusting screw 321. The two ends of the adjusting screw 321 are respectively screwed to the first reinforcing section and the second reinforcing section. By screwing the adjusting screw 321, the distance between the first reinforcing section and the second reinforcing section can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the length of the reinforcing member 30.

[0073] In some other specific embodiments, the adjusting portion 32 is located at at least one end of the reinforcing body 31, and the reinforcing member 30 is connected to the handlebar 10 or the connecting member 20 through the adjusting portion 32. The adjusting portion 32 includes an adjusting screw 321. By screwing the adjusting screw 321, the length of the reinforcing body 31 can be adjusted. At the same time, the reinforcing member 30 can be fixedly connected to the handlebar 10 or the connecting member 20 through the adjusting screw 321. Specifically, referring to Figure 4 , when installing the reinforcing member 30, the adjusting screw 321 passes through the second connecting plate 52 and one end of the reinforcing body 31. By screwing the adjusting screw 321, the length of the reinforcing member 30 can be adjusted to make the reinforcing body 31 taut.

[0074] Another embodiment of the present application further provides a bicycle, including the above-mentioned handlebar assembly 100. Since the above-mentioned handlebar assembly 100 has beneficial effects, correspondingly, the bicycle including the above-mentioned handlebar assembly 100 has the same beneficial effects, which will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0075] Furthermore, the bicycle can be a folding bicycle or a non-foldable bicycle, and there is no limitation on the type of the bicycle.

[0076] Specifically, the connecting member 20 is a foldable structure so as to be folded when the handlebar assembly 100 is not in use, thereby reducing the occupied space.

[0077] The bicycle further includes a head tube 200. The connecting member 20 is sleeved in the head tube 200 and can rotate relative to the head tube 200 for easy riding.

[0078] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope recorded in this specification.

[0079] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of the invention patent.
