Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motorcycle technology, and more specifically to a variable-volume storage bin for scooters. Background Technology

[0002] Most scooters on the market today use the space under the seat for storage compartments, with the storage capacity varying depending on the size of the scooter. The storage compartments on most models are small and shallow, insufficient to hold essential items like helmets. Placing a helmet down also prevents the seat from closing properly. This is extremely inconvenient for scooters without a rear cargo box. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a variable volume storage bin for scooters, which increases the storage space of the motorcycle storage bin without changing the original volume of the motorcycle while it is in motion.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A variable-capacity storage bin for a scooter, characterized in that it includes a storage bin body and at least one rotating outer shell. The front of the rotating outer shell is pin-connected to the storage bin body. A seat latch is provided at the rear end of the rotating outer shell. A limiting structure is provided between the lower end of the rotating outer shell and the upper edge of the storage bin body, so that the lower edge of the rotating outer shell does not detach from the upper edge of the storage bin body. The bottom of the storage bin body has a telescopic bottom. The telescopic bottom is connected to the storage bin body by multiple springs. A push-button switch is provided between the telescopic bottom and the storage bin body. The push-button switch has a built-in position sensor. The position sensor is connected to the motorcycle control system and is used to transmit the position signal of the push-button switch to the motorcycle control system.

[0006] Furthermore, there are multiple rotating shells, and the multiple rotating shells are arranged in a fan-shaped stacked arrangement, with any two adjacent rotating shells connected end to end by a flexible material.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper outer edge of the storage bucket body has an outwardly extending first flange limiting portion, and the lower inner side of the innermost rotating outer shell has an inwardly extending second flange limiting portion.

[0008] Furthermore, the gap between the telescopic bucket bottom and the main body of the storage bucket is connected by a corrugated rubber soft sheet.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention include: solving the problem of small storage space in scooters, which cannot accommodate helmets or other large items; its simple structure and convenient operation; no need to increase the vehicle's size while in motion; and flexible and variable storage space, thus improving utilization. Attached Figure Description

[0010] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the present invention;

[0011] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the present invention;

[0012] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the push-button switch in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0014] One such Figure 1-3 The variable-capacity storage bin shown is for a scooter and consists of an upward-expanding section and a downward-extending section. The upward-expanding section includes a main body 1 and at least one rotating outer shell 2. The front of the rotating outer shell 2 is connected to the main body 1 by a pin, and the rotating outer shell 2 can rotate around the pin. A seat latch 6 is located at the rear of the rotating outer shell 2 for connecting to the seat latch on the scooter. A limiting structure is provided between the lower end of the rotating outer shell 2 and the upper edge of the main body 1, ensuring that the lower edge of the rotating outer shell 2 does not detach from the upper edge of the main body 1. In use, the seat latch detaches from the seat latch 6. After placing a large item inside the storage bin, the rotating outer shell can be rotated upwards to engage the seat latch 6, lifting the seat at a certain angle for parking, thus increasing the storage bin's capacity.

[0015] The downward-extending section includes a telescopic base 3 at the bottom of the storage bin body 1. The telescopic base 3 is connected to the storage bin body 1 by multiple springs 4. A push-button switch 5 connects the telescopic base 3 and the storage bin body 1. When the push-button switch is released, the telescopic base 3 is suspended by the springs. This structure can increase the volume inside the storage bin downwards. Since the vehicle body is unloaded when parked, the shock-absorbing springs allow for some retractable space between the vehicle chassis and body. When storing items, if an object is too tall to fit in the storage bin, force can be applied to press the storage bin down, increasing the storage space.

[0016] like Figure 3The illustration shows an embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the push-button switch 5 has a built-in position sensor connected to the motorcycle control system, which transmits the position signal of the push-button switch 5 to the motorcycle control system. The push-button switch 5 includes a connecting rod with a conical disc at its upper end. An elastic locking connector is provided inside the storage bin body 1, and the lower part of the elastic locking connector has an inclined guide surface. A movable disc is provided on the connecting rod, and the lower end surface of the movable disc is conical. When the movable disc moves upward, it can block the lower limiting surface of the conical disc, thereby causing the connecting rod to retract from the limiting position of the elastic locking connector. In addition, a push-button contact is provided directly above the connecting rod. This push-button contact is electrically connected to the motorcycle control system and is used to feed back the position signal of the bottom of the telescopic bin to the motorcycle control system.

[0017] Under normal conditions, the spring is compressed and the switch is closed. When it is necessary to place larger items such as helmets, the telescopic spring extends downwards, and the push-button switch is disengaged. After extension, the volume space increases, allowing the seat cushion to be placed.

[0018] When the push-button switch is activated, if it detects that the switch is not activated when the vehicle is powered on and started, the storage compartment will be in an extended state. If the vehicle is driven in this state, the shock absorption system will not have enough compression space, and the vehicle will not be able to move normally. Therefore, the instrument panel will display the storage compartment status, reminding the user to remove large items such as helmets, return the storage compartment to its original position, and turn off the indicator light. The vehicle can then be started normally.

[0019] In other embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple rotating shells 2, and the multiple rotating shells 2 are arranged in a fan-shaped stacked arrangement, and any two adjacent rotating shells 2 are connected end to end by a flexible material.

[0020] The upper outer edge of the storage bin body 1 has an outwardly facing first flange limiting part 11, and the lower inner side of the innermost rotating outer shell 2 has an inwardly facing second flange limiting part 21. This limiting connection structure can also be replaced by a corrugated rubber component connecting the rotating outer shell 2 and the storage bin body. The gap between the telescopic bottom 3 and the storage bin body 1 is connected by a corrugated rubber soft sheet, which makes the interior of the storage bin a sealed space.

[0021] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of the present invention. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for helping to understand the principles of the embodiments of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the embodiments of the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
