[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention clearer and easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a high-efficiency range extender for a motorcycle engine, comprising an engine 1 having a housing 2, a generator 3 having a flange 4, and a quick-lock device for connecting and fixing the engine 1 and the generator 3.

[0025] like Figure 2As shown, the quick-lock device includes a quick-lock male head 6 and a quick-lock female head 7. Several flange holes 5 are provided on the flange 4 along the thickness direction. Several quick-lock male heads 6 are evenly distributed around the end face of the housing 2 facing the flange 4. When the housing 2 of the engine 1 abuts against the flange 4 of the generator 3, the quick-lock male head 6 passes through the flange hole 5 of the flange 4. The quick-lock female head 7 is used to lock and fix one end of the quick-lock male head 6 that passes through the flange hole 5.

[0026] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the quick-lock male connector 6 includes a male connector housing 8, which is cylindrical and fixedly connected to the end face of the housing 2 facing the flange 4. The engine 1 and generator 3 are sealed by a rubber gasket 81 that is penetrated by the male connector housing 8. A circular central groove 9 is formed at the center of the end face of the male connector housing 8 away from the housing 2. Three guide plate grooves 10 are equidistantly formed on the outer circumference of the outer wall of the male connector housing 8. Each guide plate groove 10 has a guide block hole 11 at its bottom, communicating with the central groove 9. The guide block hole 11 is a rectangular hole. A pair of spring mounting grooves 12 are symmetrically formed at the bottom of each guide plate groove 10, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the guide block hole 11. The spring mounting grooves 12 are oblong grooves.

[0027] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, a quick-lock slide plate 13 is slidably disposed in each guide plate groove 10. A quick-lock slider 14 that slides with the guide block hole 11 is fixedly connected to the end face of the quick-lock slide plate 13 facing the central slide groove 9. The end face of the quick-lock slider 14 away from the quick-lock slide plate 13 is inclined towards the quick-lock slide plate 13. A tension spring 15 is disposed between the quick-lock slide plate 13 and the bottom of the spring mounting groove 12. The tension spring 15 is used to pull the quick-lock slide plate 13 to move towards the center of the male head housing 8 to retract into the guide plate groove 10. An inner hook 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spring mounting groove 12. An outer hook 17 is fixedly connected to the end face of the quick-lock slide plate 13 facing the spring mounting groove 12. One end of the tension spring 15 is hooked on the inner hook 16, and the other end is hooked on the outer hook 17.

[0028] like Figure 3 and 6As shown, a central sliding post 18 is slidably disposed in the central sliding groove 9. The central sliding post 18 has three equidistantly distributed guide surfaces 19, which correspond to three quick-lock sliders 14 respectively. The guide surfaces 19 are inclined towards the center of the central sliding post 18, and abut against the inclined surface of the quick-lock slider 14 away from the quick-lock slide plate 13. A return spring 20 is disposed between the central sliding post 18 and the bottom of the central sliding groove 9. One end of the return spring 20 abuts against the central sliding post 18, and the other end abuts against the bottom of the central sliding groove 9. A connecting shaft 21 is coaxially fixed to the end of the central sliding post 18 away from the return spring 20. A positioning ball 22 is coaxially fixed to the end of the connecting shaft 21 away from the central sliding post 18. A positioning hole 221 is opened on the end face of the positioning ball 22 away from the connecting shaft 21.

[0029] like Figure 3 and 6 As shown, three rotation limiting grooves 23 are equidistantly circumferentially formed on the cylindrical surface of the central sliding column 18. Three countersunk screw holes 24, which are aligned with the three rotation limiting grooves 23, are equidistantly circumferentially formed on the outer side wall of the male head housing 8. A rotation limiting screw 25 with its end slidingly engaged with the rotation limiting groove 23 is threaded into the countersunk screw hole 24. The rotation limiting screw 25 is used to limit the rotation of the central sliding column 18.

[0030] like Figure 3 and 8 As shown, the quick-lock female head 7 includes a female head housing 26, which is cylindrical and welded together from a pair of half-shells. A male head insertion hole 27 for inserting the male head housing 8 is provided on the end face of the female head housing 26. The male head insertion hole 27 is a circular hole and is split in half on the two half-shells. A quick-lock locking hole 28 for engaging with the quick-lock sliding plate 13 is provided circumferentially on the hole wall of the male head insertion hole 27. The quick-lock locking hole 28 has an annular cross-section and is split in half on the two half-shells.

[0031] like Figure 3 and 8 As shown, the bottom of the male connector 27 is provided with a ball-passing hole 29 and a ball-clamping groove 30. The ball-passing hole 29 is a circular hole through which the positioning ball 22 passes. A pair of ball-locking blocks 31 are slidably disposed in the ball-clamping groove 30. The side wall of the ball-locking blocks 31 facing the positioning ball 22 is provided with a ball-embedding groove 32 for engaging with the positioning ball 22. A push block spring 33 is provided on the female connector housing 26. The push block spring 33 is used to push the ball-locking blocks 31 to move closer to the center of the female connector housing 26 to clamp the positioning ball 22. The ball-locking blocks 31 are provided with an inner slot 34 for inserting one end of the push block spring 33, and the female connector housing 26 is provided with an outer slot 35 for inserting the other end of the push block spring 33.

[0032] like Figure 7 and 8As shown, hemispherical ball grooves 36 are provided on the opposite side walls of the ball clamping block 31, and steel balls 37 are rolled in the ball grooves 36. The groove wall of the ball clamping groove 30 is provided with ball grooves 38 located on both sides of the ball clamping block 31. The ball grooves 38 are waist-shaped grooves with the same length direction as the sliding direction of the ball clamping block 31. The ball grooves 38 and steel balls 37 roll in cooperation.

[0033] like Figure 3 and 8 As shown, a pair of guide rod holes 39 are symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the female head housing 26 opposite to the male head insertion hole 27. The guide rod holes 39 are connected to the ball clamping groove 30. A cylindrical lever 40 is fixedly connected to the ball clamping block 31. The lever 40 passes through the guide rod hole 39 and slides in cooperation with the guide rod hole 39. The lever 40 can provide a force point for the worker to move the ball clamping block 31.

[0034] like Figure 3 and 8 As shown, a hollow guide cylinder 41 is coaxially fixed to the outer wall of the female head housing 26 away from the male head insertion hole 27. The hollow part of the guide cylinder 41 is connected to the ball clamping groove 30. A guide groove 42 is provided on the inner wall of the guide cylinder 41. A circular plate-shaped pressing plate 43 is slidably arranged on the guide groove 42. A push rod 44 that is inserted into the positioning hole 221 is coaxially fixed to the end face of the pressing plate 43 facing the positioning ball 22.

[0035] In this embodiment, the detailed disassembly process of the quick lock is as follows: The worker moves the locking ball clamping block 31 away from the positioning ball 22 by using the lever 40 until the locking ball clamping block 31 releases the clamping and positioning of the positioning ball 22. The elastic force generated by the reset spring 20 pushes the central slide column 18 away from the reset spring 20. Since the guide surface 19 of the central slide column 18 abuts against the inclined surface of the quick lock slider 14 away from the quick lock slide plate 13, the tension spring 15 pulls the quick lock slide plate 13 to move closer to the center of the male head housing 8 to retract into the guide plate groove 10. At this time, the quick lock female head 7 can be removed to disassemble and separate the engine 1 and the generator 3.

[0036] The detailed installation process of the quick-lock device in this embodiment is as follows: S1, the worker attaches the housing 2 of the engine 1 to the flange 4 of the generator 3, the quick-lock male head 6 passes through the flange hole 5 of the flange 4, and then presses the pressing plate 43. The pressing plate 43 pushes the positioning ball 22, the connecting shaft 21 and the center slide column 18 towards the return spring 20 through the push rod 44 until the quick-lock hole 28 is aligned with the guide plate groove 10. During this process, the return spring 20 is compressed. Since the guide surface 19 of the center slide column 18 abuts against the inclined surface of the quick-lock slider 14 away from the quick-lock slide plate 13, the center slide column 18 will push the quick-lock slide plate 13 out of the guide plate groove 10 and into the quick-lock hole 28 through the quick-lock slider 14. S2, when the positioning ball 22 moves to the middle of the two locking ball clamping blocks 31, the push block spring 33 pushes the locking ball clamping block 31 to move closer to the center of the female head housing 26 and thus clamps the positioning ball 22. At this time, the central sliding column 18 is restricted from axial movement, and the quick-locking female head 7 remains locked and fixed at one end of the quick-locking male head 6 through the flange hole 5.

[0037] This high-efficiency range extender for motorcycle engines achieves multifaceted optimizations by employing an innovative quick-lock structure design, addressing the core shortcomings of existing technologies. The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. Significantly improves disassembly and assembly efficiency, adapting to emergency scenarios: Abandoning the traditional rigid connection method of "screws + washers," it adopts a snap-fit ​​connection between quick-lock male head 6 and quick-lock female head 7. There is no need to loosen / tighten screws one by one or manage washers individually; the connection or separation of engine 1 and generator 3 can be completed in just two steps: "press to assemble" and "release with lever 40." This is especially suitable for emergency repairs and on-site maintenance, avoiding the problems of lost or confused parts, significantly shortening disassembly and assembly time, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0038] 2. Double locking design: The quick-locking slide plate 13 of the quick-locking male head 6 and the quick-locking locking hole 28 of the quick-locking female head 7 form the first locking, and the locking ball clamp 31 and the positioning ball 22 form the second locking. The double structure works together to effectively prevent the connection from loosening due to vibration during motorcycle operation.

[0039] 3. Long service life: The steel balls 37 on both sides of the locking ball clamp 31 form a rolling fit with the ball groove 38, converting the sliding friction of the locking ball clamp 31 into rolling friction, which greatly reduces component wear. The sliding fits between the quick-lock slide plate 13 and the guide plate groove 10, and between the central slide column 18 and the central slide groove 9 are all guaranteed by structural limiting (such as the rotation limiting screw 25) to ensure accurate movement trajectory and avoid ineffective friction, further extending the overall service life of the quick-lock device. In addition, the tension spring 15, the return spring 20, and the push block spring 33 are all fixed by hooks or slots, which are firmly assembled and have balanced force, making them less prone to fatigue damage.

[0040] 4. High convenience: The quick-lock female head 7 is equipped with operating components such as a pressing plate 43 and a lever 40, which can be assembled and unlocked without professional tools: during assembly, simply press the pressing plate 43 to drive the double locking structure to take effect, and when unlocking, flick the lever 40 to quickly release the lock. The operation logic is simple.

[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
