Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of two-wheeled vehicles, in particular to the technical field of electric vehicles and bicycles, and more particularly to a telescopic frame structure and a two-wheeled vehicle. Background Art
[0002] Currently, two-wheeled vehicles, such as bicycles and electric bicycles, are typically shipped with the front wheel and fenders removed, along with accessories like the front brake and headlight, to reduce packaging volume and save on shipping costs. However, this packaging method not only increases shipping costs but also complicates installation, leading to various after-sales issues.
[0003] Retractable bicycles and electric vehicles can adjust the size of their bodies, making them convenient for users of different body sizes. At the same time, they can reduce the size of their bodies for easy transportation and packaging.
[0004] However, there are two main problems with the telescopic structure of telescopic bicycles or telescopic electric vehicles in the prior art: Problem 1: The telescopic structure is prone to deformation, causing the telescopic function to fail or the telescopic structure to be difficult to lock. The body of the bicycle will shake when riding, and it does not meet the relevant technical standards for bicycles and electric vehicles.
[0005] Question 2: Existing telescopic structures usually adopt a large tube-in-small tube solution. When locking or extending, the large tube and the small tube rub against each other, which will scratch large areas of paint on the front of the two-wheeled vehicle, greatly affecting the appearance of the two-wheeled vehicle.
[0006] In addition, the application scope of existing retractable bicycles or retractable electric vehicles is relatively narrow.
[0007] For example, Chinese patent document CN110316298B discloses a retractable electric vehicle, comprising a vehicle body, the vehicle body comprising a front body and a rear body, the front body comprising a handlebar, a front fender, a front frame, and a front wheel, the rear body comprising a rear frame, a rear wheel, and a seat, a retractable fixing device connected between the front frame and the rear frame for adjusting and fixing the relative position between the front frame and the rear frame, and a pedal comprising left and right pedal brackets and a sliding plate slidably connected between the left and right pedal brackets, the sliding plate being a bendable plate-like structure, one end of the pedal being internally connected to the front fender and the other end being slidably connected to the top of the rear frame, the front fender and the pedal bracket both having sliding grooves distributed along the length of the vehicle body, the left and right ends of the sliding plate being connected to sliding wheels, the sliding wheels driving the sliding plate to slide along the sliding grooves within the pedal brackets and the front fender. The above technical solution adopts a sliding and retractable design between the front frame and the rear frame, but the above technical solution also has the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Preferably, the telescopic frame structure further includes a limiting structure comprising a positioning groove provided on the upper crossbeam and a positioning ridge provided on the lower crossbeam. By providing the limiting structure, the stability of the adjustment process can be ensured during the telescopic adjustment process.

[0025] Preferably, a battery compartment and a control box compartment are provided in the upper crossbeam, and the battery compartment and the control compartment are distributed along the first direction. A battery-powered base is provided between the battery compartment and the control box compartment, and connectors are provided on both sides of the battery-powered base, which extend into the battery compartment and the control box compartment respectively. The end of the battery compartment away from the control box compartment extends to the end of the upper crossbeam tube and forms an opening.
[0026] Preferably, the lower body of the structure further includes a rear fork, one end of which is rotatably connected to an end of the lower support member away from the lower crossbeam, an upper mounting seat being provided on the lower support member, and a lower mounting seat being provided on the rear fork, wherein the upper and lower mounting seats are used to mount shock absorbers.

[0027] As another preferred embodiment, the lower body of the structure further comprises a rear fork, one end of the rear fork being rotatably connected to an end of the lower support member remote from the lower crossbeam, the rear fork comprising a rear fork plate remote from one end of the lower support member, a lower mounting seat being provided on the rear fork plate, an upper mounting seat being provided on the lower crossbeam, and the upper and lower mounting seats being used to mount a shock absorber. Alternatively, the rear fork may be provided with two rear shock absorbers, or with both a rear shock absorber and a front shock absorber.
[0028] Preferably, the upper crossbeam is provided with a wiring groove extending along the first direction and a first wiring hole communicating with the wiring groove; and the lower support member is provided with a second wiring hole.
[0029] Preferably, a lamp holder plate extending toward the lower beam is fixed on the upper beam.
[0030] Preferably, the upper crossbeam is a square tube or a round tube with a single or double layer structure; the lower crossbeam and the upper crossbeam are connected by a mutual interlocking movable connection or a mutual abutting movable connection. The structure of the upper and lower crossbeams is not specifically limited, and can be a tube or a plate. The upper mold beam and the lower crossbeam can be connected by a mutual interlocking movable connection or a mutual abutting movable connection. The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve its second invention object is: a telescopic two-wheeled vehicle, including the telescopic frame structure.
[0031] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that, compared with the prior art, the telescopic vehicle frame provided by the present invention, by arranging the upper cross beam and the lower cross beam to be telescopically connected along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle body, enables the upper body of the frame and the lower body of the frame to move relative to each other in the front-to-back direction, thereby realizing the telescopic movement of the vehicle body.
[0032] When the locking assembly releases the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam, the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam can move relative to each other. When the locking assembly locks the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam, the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam are relatively fixed, the length of the vehicle body is adjusted, and the upper main body of the structure and the lower main body of the structure are fixed as one.
[0033] On the other hand, the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam that produce relative telescopic movement in the present invention are distributed up and down. When the upper crossbeam and the lower crossbeam produce relative movement, the second surface of the upper crossbeam and the upper surface of the lower crossbeam produce friction. Even if the above two surfaces have problems such as scratches, they are not easy to be detected and are unlikely to affect the appearance of the two-wheeled vehicle.
[0034] Furthermore, because the upper and lower crossbeams of the present invention together form the transversely extending structural body of the telescopic frame structure, when the frame bears weight, downward pressure is applied to the upper portion of the upper crossbeam, causing the upper and lower crossbeams to be vertically squeezed relative to each other. This squeezing force increases the static friction between the upper and lower crossbeams, making relative sliding between the upper and lower crossbeams difficult, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the telescopic frame structure. Furthermore, the provision of a positioning structure between the upper and lower crossbeams further enhances the overall stability of the frame structure.
[0035] In addition, the telescopic frame structure provided by the present invention has a simple and reasonable structure, and one structure can be simultaneously applicable to different types of vehicle models, such as bicycles, electric bicycles, etc., and has a wide range of applications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0053] Example 1: In Figure 1, Figure 2 、 Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, a telescopic frame structure 10 is provided. The telescopic frame structure 10 forms the main body of a two-wheeled vehicle, which primarily refers to two-wheeled electric or non-electric vehicles such as bicycles, electric vehicles, or motorcycles. In this embodiment, the telescopic frame structure 10 forms the main body of a non-electric bicycle.
[0054] The telescopic frame structure 10 may be made of aluminum alloy or steel, or a combination of the two materials, or other materials suitable for making a frame.
[0055] In the vertical direction, the telescopic frame structure 10 mainly includes an upper frame body 11 and a lower frame body 12 which are arranged up and down and can be relatively telescopically adjusted and can be locked and fixedly connected as a whole.
[0056] The upper main body 11 of the structure includes an upper crossbeam 111, and the upper crossbeam 111 extends along a first direction X (ie, a front-to-back direction). The front end of the upper crossbeam 111 is used to connect with the handlebars and the front wheel.
[0057] The upper crossbeam 111 includes a first surface 111a and a second surface 111b disposed opposite each other. Specifically, the first surface 111a is the upper surface for arranging the seat cushion, and the second surface 111b is the lower surface for connecting to the lower structure body 12 below.
[0058] The lower structure body 12 includes a lower crossbeam 121 , a lower support member 122 and a locking assembly 123 .
[0059] The lower beam 121 is disposed on one side of the upper beam 111 and faces the second surface 111 b . The lower beam 121 extends along the first direction X. The upper beam 111 and the lower beam 121 are slidably connected along the first direction X.
[0060] Specifically, the lower crossbeam 121 is disposed below the upper crossbeam 111, and the two are arranged parallel to each other. An upper beam surface 121a is provided on the side of the lower crossbeam 121 facing the upper crossbeam. The upper and lower crossbeams 111 and 121 are arranged in a surface-fitting, telescopic connection along a first direction; that is, the second surface 111b of the upper crossbeam fits and telescopes with the upper beam surface 121a of the lower crossbeam, achieving a sliding connection in the first direction X, thereby extending or contracting the telescopic frame structure and, in turn, achieving extension or contraction of the entire vehicle.
[0061] The locking assembly 123 is connected between the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 and is used to lock or release the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121. The locking assembly 123 can be a manual locking assembly or an automatic locking assembly. In this embodiment, the locking assembly 123 is a manual locking assembly.
[0062] The top end of the lower support member 122 is connected to the lower crossbeam 121, and the bottom end of the lower support member 122 extends away from the upper crossbeam 111, for connection to the rear wheel, pedals, and other components. Specifically, the lower support member 122 extends rearward in a vertical direction or at a certain angle to the vertical direction. The bottom end of the lower support member 122 is rotatably connected to the rear fork 124 via a connecting shaft 125. A bottom bracket 126 is also mounted at the bottom end of the lower support member 122 for mounting components such as pedals.
[0063] The telescopic frame structure 10 is configured such that the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 are slidably connected along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle body, allowing the upper frame body 11 and the lower frame body 12 to move relative to each other in the front-to-back direction, thereby achieving telescopic movement of the vehicle body. When the locking assembly 123 releases the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121, the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 can slide relative to each other. When the locking assembly 123 locks the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121, the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 are relatively fixed, the vehicle body length is adjusted, and the upper frame body 11 and the lower frame body 12 are fixed as a whole.
[0064] On the other hand, the upper cross beam 111 and the lower cross beam 121 that generate relative sliding in the present invention are distributed up and down. When the upper cross beam 111 and the lower cross beam 121 generate relative sliding, the second surface 111b (i.e., the lower surface) of the upper cross beam 111 and the upper beam surface 121a of the lower cross beam 121 generate friction. Even if the above two surfaces have problems such as scratches, they are not easy to be noticed and are unlikely to affect the appearance of the two-wheeled vehicle.
[0065] On the other hand, since the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 of the present invention together constitute the laterally extending structural body of the telescopic frame structure 10, when the frame bears weight, downward pressure is applied to the upper portion of the upper crossbeam 111, and the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 are relatively squeezed in the vertical direction. Under the action of the squeezing force, the static friction between the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 increases, making it difficult for the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 to slide relative to each other, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the telescopic frame structure 10.
[0066] In addition, the telescopic frame structure 10 provided by the present invention has a simple and reasonable structure, and one structure can be simultaneously applicable to different types of vehicle models, such as bicycles, electric bicycles, etc., and has a wide range of applications.
[0067] Example 2: exist Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, a telescopic frame structure is provided. In this embodiment, the telescopic frame structure 10 is used to form the body of the electric bicycle. The technical solution is basically the same as that of embodiment 1, except that: The upper crossbeam 111 is a square tube or a round tube with a single-layer or double-layer structure; the lower crossbeam 121 and the upper crossbeam 111 are connected to each other in a movable manner.
[0068] The cross sections of the upper cross beam 111 and the lower cross beam 121 are both rectangular.
[0069] The upper beam 111 is provided with a slide 1111 extending along the first direction X. The slide 1111 is arranged on a side of the upper beam 111 close to the lower beam 121. A sliding member 1211 is protruded from the side of the lower beam 121 facing the upper beam 111. The sliding member 1211 is slidably connected to the slide 1111.
[0070] In this embodiment, the upper beam 111 and the lower beam 121 slide relative to each other by sliding the sliding member 1211 in the slideway 1111. In other embodiments, the slideway 1111 may be provided on the upper surface of the lower beam 121, and the sliding member 1211 may be provided on the second surface 111b of the upper beam 111.
[0071] like Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, specifically, in this embodiment, there are two slides 1111, and the two slides 1111 are parallel and symmetrically arranged. Accordingly, two sliding members 1211 are respectively arranged at the front and rear ends of each slide 1111, and a total of four sliding members 1211 are provided, so that the sliding members 1211 can slide stably in the corresponding slides 1111, ensuring the stable connection between the upper beam 111 and the lower beam 121.
[0072] In other embodiments, the number of slideways 1111 may be other numbers, such as one or three, and each slideway 1111 may also be provided with other numbers of sliding members 1211 , which is not specifically limited in the present invention.
[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the slide 1111 is a T-slot. In other embodiments, the shape of the slide 1111 can also be a dovetail groove or the like, and the shape of the sliding member 1211 is adapted to the shape of the slide 1111 .
[0074] The present invention does not impose any specific restrictions on the shape and connection method of the upper beam 111 and the lower beam 121, as long as they can achieve relative sliding. Figure 11a 、 11b , 11c, 11d, Figure 11a 、 11b , 11c, and 11d are cross-sectional views illustrating a portion of an upper beam and a lower beam.
[0075] like Figure 11a In the embodiment shown, the upper crossbeam is a double-layer square tube, and the slide 1111 is a T-slot. In other embodiments, the shape of the slide 1111 can also be a dovetail groove or the like, and the shape of the sliding member 1211 is adapted to the shape of the slide 1111.
[0076] like Figure 11b In the embodiment shown, the cross section of the upper crossbeam 111 is circular, and the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 are interlocked and slidably connected with each other via a parent-child slide 1111 .
[0077] like Figure 11c In the illustrated embodiment, the upper crossbeam is a single-layer square tube. A T-shaped slideway 1111 is formed at the bottom of the upper crossbeam 111. The lower crossbeam 121 is generally T-shaped and slides within the T-shaped slideway 1111. The upper and lower crossbeams are connected by a side or bottom adjustment and locking mechanism. This is primarily applicable to structures that utilize manually adjustable locking bolts.
[0078] like Figure 11dIn the embodiment shown, the upper crossbeam is a double-layer square tube, and only one slideway 1111 is provided. This structure can narrow the width of the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 and is suitable for bicycles or light electric vehicles.
[0079] Example 3: exist Figures 1 to 8 In the embodiment shown, a telescopic frame structure is provided. In this embodiment, the technical solution is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, except that the locking assembly includes a manual locking assembly, and the manual locking assembly adopts a manual quick-release locking structure.
[0080] The locking assembly 123 includes a quick release assembly, and the quick release assembly includes an eccentric quick release handle 1231 and a quick release screw 1232 .
[0081] A threaded hole is provided in the sliding member 1211, and a through hole is provided in the lower crossbeam 121 corresponding to the sliding member 1211. One end of the quick-release screw 1232 passes through the through hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the other end of the quick-release screw 1232 is eccentrically connected to the eccentric quick-release handle 1231.
[0082] Specifically, the eccentric quick-release handle 1231 is arranged on a side of the lower beam 121 away from the upper beam 111 , and the through hole of the lower beam 121 and the threaded hole in the sliding member 1211 both extend in the vertical direction.
[0083] When the eccentric quick-release handle 1231 rotates eccentrically forward relative to the quick-release screw 1232, the arc surface of the eccentric quick-release handle 1231 gradually approaches and squeezes the lower beam 121, causing the lower beam 121 to gradually approach the sliding member 1211, so that the sliding member 1211 and the lower beam 121 clamp the upper beam 111 from the upper and lower sides, thereby locking the upper beam 111 and the lower beam 121.
[0084] When the eccentric quick-release handle 1231 is eccentrically reversed relative to the quick-release screw 1232, the arc surface of the eccentric quick-release handle 1231 gradually moves away from the lower beam 121, causing the lower beam 121 to gradually move away from the sliding member 1211, so that the sliding member 1211 and the lower beam 121 are separated from the upper beam 111, thereby unlocking the upper beam 111 and the lower beam 121.
[0085] In this embodiment, the quick release assembly is provided to achieve the rapid locking and separation of the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121. In other embodiments, the quick release assembly can also be provided laterally, and the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 can be locked by providing a lateral force, such as Figure 7 shown.
[0086] The locking assembly 123 further includes an anti-slip screw 1233 .
[0087] The lower crossbeam 121 is provided with at least one threaded through hole arranged along the first direction X, and the upper crossbeam 111 is correspondingly provided with at least one positioning hole arranged along the first direction X. The anti-slip screw 1233 is threadedly connected to the threaded through hole and passes through the lower crossbeam 121 and is inserted into the positioning hole.
[0088] The anti-slip screw 1233 is used to position the upper cross beam 111 and the lower cross beam 121 in the first direction X. After the vehicle body length adjustment is completed, the upper cross beam 111 and the lower cross beam 121 can be further fixed by the anti-slip screw 1233. Thereafter, even if the user forgets to lock the quick-release assembly or the quick-release assembly fails, the upper cross beam 111 and the lower cross beam 121 can be prevented from relative movement.
[0089] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 123 achieves double security by simultaneously providing a quick release assembly and an anti-slip screw 1233. In other embodiments, the locking assembly 123 may also only include an anti-slip screw 1233 and corresponding threaded through holes and positioning holes to replace the quick release assembly.
[0090] Example 4: exist Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the technical solution is basically the same as that in the above embodiment, except that: The telescopic frame structure 10 further includes a limiting structure; the limiting structure includes a positioning groove 1112 provided on the upper crossbeam 111 and a positioning ridge 1212 provided on the surface of the lower crossbeam 121 .
[0091] A positioning groove 1112 is provided on the second surface 111b of the upper crossbeam 111, extending along the first direction X. The width of the positioning groove 1112 gradually increases as the upper crossbeam 111 points toward the lower crossbeam 121 (i.e., from top to bottom). A positioning protrusion 1212 is provided on the side of the lower crossbeam 121 facing the upper crossbeam 111. The shape of the positioning protrusion 1212 matches that of the positioning groove 1112, and the positioning protrusion 1212 and the positioning groove 1112 are slidably connected along the first direction X.
[0092] Specifically, in this embodiment, the positioning groove 1112 is provided between the two slideways 1111, and the cross-sections of the positioning groove 1112 and the positioning ridge 1212 are both V-shaped. When the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 are assembled, the positioning ridge 1212 cooperates with the positioning groove 1112 to achieve positioning of the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121. When the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121 are locked, the force between the two can be dispersed through the mating surface of the positioning ridge 1212 and the positioning groove 1112, thereby ensuring the strength of the upper crossbeam 111 and the lower crossbeam 121.
[0093] In other embodiments, the positioning grooves 1112 and positioning ridges 1212 may be provided in plurality, and the shapes thereof are not limited by the present invention.

The second wiring hole 1221 is provided at the top of the lower support member 122. Bicycles or electric vehicles usually have wiring such as brake lines and control lines. The structure of this embodiment allows the wiring to enter the wiring groove 1113 from the side of the front of the vehicle and extend within the wiring groove 1113, then leave the upper crossbeam 111 from the first wiring hole, and then enter the hollow lower support member 122 from the second wiring hole 1221, hiding most of the wiring in the vehicle frame, protecting the wiring while improving the aesthetics of the two-wheeled vehicle. In other embodiments, the number and shape of the wiring grooves 1113 can also be other, and the present invention does not specifically limit them.
