Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electric vehicle basket technology, specifically to a multifunctional electric vehicle basket and its usage method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional electric bikes typically have a basket mounted on the front of the frame. Its main purpose is to carry personal items such as helmets and raincoats, making it an indispensable accessory for daily use. However, existing baskets have a very simple structure and limited functionality, often failing to meet the complex needs of users.
[0003] Specifically, users sometimes carry items that are inconvenient to put in the basket, such as fragile items like glass cups. When a glass cup is placed inside the basket, due to the lack of effective protection and securing structure, it will inevitably vibrate due to road bumps as the electric vehicle moves. This vibration is directly transmitted to the basket, causing it to vibrate as well. Because glass cups have poor impact resistance, they are extremely prone to breakage under high-frequency vibration.
[0004] On the other hand, when the basket is already filled with other items, if the user has other items to place in their hands, the basket will be unable to meet the carrying capacity. Some users will place the extra items on the footrests, but this is unsafe, as items can easily fall off. Others choose to ride with one hand while carrying items with the other, but this one-handed riding method is very unsafe and prone to accidents. Therefore, we propose a multi-functional electric bicycle basket and its usage method to effectively solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional electric vehicle basket and its usage method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a multifunctional electric vehicle basket, including a basket body, the basket body being composed of several intersecting ribs, and a receiving component being provided at one corner of the top of the basket body. The receiving component includes two rotating rings, which are rotatably sleeved on the horizontal ribs at the top of the basket body. The outer surface of each rotating ring is provided with a rotating shaft, and the outer end of the rotating shaft is provided with a receiving arc rod, which is semi-circular in shape. When the two accommodating arc rods are located inside the basket body and remain horizontal, they form a ring shape; When the two accommodating arc rods are located outside the basket body and remain vertical, both are in a hook shape.
[0007] Optionally, two rotating grooves are provided on the top transverse rib of the basket body for embedding two rotating rings. A shaft hole is provided through the rotating ring for a rotating shaft to pass through, and the rotating shaft passes through the shaft hole and is distributed radially along the rotating ring. The rotating shaft has a three-section structure, wider at both ends and narrower in the middle, with the middle section inserted into the shaft hole to prevent the rotating shaft from moving along its own axial direction.
[0008] Optionally, the rotating groove has a retaining groove inside for the inner end of the rotating shaft to be inserted. When the rotating shaft abuts against the two inner ends of the rotating groove, the rotating shaft is located on both the inner and outer sides of the basket body and maintains a horizontal posture. The cross-section of the receiving arc rod is circular. When the two receiving arc rods are located inside the basket body and maintain a horizontal posture, the two form a ring with notches at both opposite ends.
[0009] Optionally, a retaining sleeve is fitted around the inner end of the rotating shaft. The inner ring wall of the retaining sleeve has a bulge, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft has a spiral groove for the bulge to be embedded in. When the retaining sleeve moves axially along the rotating shaft, the bulge can drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The inner side walls of the retaining grooves have wiring grooves, and the outer sides of the retaining sleeve have wiring protrusions on opposite sides, with the two wiring protrusions embedded in the two wiring grooves respectively. When the rotating shaft moves from the inner side to the outer side of the basket body, the wiring protrusions can move towards the center of the rotating ring, causing the receiving arc rod to rotate into an upward-facing hook shape. One end of the rotating shaft has a threaded section, which is threadedly connected and fixed to the receiving arc rod.
[0010] This invention also proposes a method for using a multifunctional electric vehicle basket, applicable to the aforementioned multifunctional electric vehicle basket, comprising the following steps: When the user moves both receiving arc rods into the basket body and keeps them horizontal, the two receiving arc rods together form a ring, and the user can put the cup into the ring to keep it in a vertical position. When the user needs to hang an object, the receiving arc rod will be rotated to the outside of the basket body; At this point, the receiving arc rod is in the shape of an upward-facing hook, allowing users to hang objects on it to increase the storage capacity of the basket.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a multifunctional electric vehicle basket and a method of using it, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. The accommodating arc rods in this invention can be combined to form a ring, so that fragile items such as glass cups can be placed vertically inside, thus avoiding direct collision between the cup body and the inner wall of the basket, thereby greatly improving the safety of carrying fragile items; 2. The accommodating arc rod in this invention can also rotate to the outside of the basket body and maintain an upward opening posture, so that other items can be hung on the accommodating arc rod, which greatly improves the load-bearing capacity of the traditional basket. 3. The accommodating component in this invention can switch between multiple states, and the specific form depends on the actual needs, thus ensuring that this solution has strong flexibility in use.

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5This application proposes a multifunctional electric vehicle basket, including a basket body 100. The basket body 100 is composed of several intersecting ribs, and a receiving component 200 is provided at one of the top corners of the basket body 100. Specifically, the ribs are all made of rigid plastic, and two connecting ribs are integrally injection molded or hot-melt welded. The basket body 100 is generally in the shape of a cuboid with the opening facing upwards. It should be noted that, for lightweight design, the mesh of the basket body 100 is relatively large, making it more suitable for storing some large items, such as helmets and raincoats.
[0016] The structure of the receiving component 200 is described in detail below: The receiving component 200 includes two rotating rings 201, which are rotatably fitted onto the transverse rib at the top of the basket body 100. The rotating rings 201 are annular, and two rotating grooves 101 are provided on the transverse rib at the top of the basket body 100 for the two rotating rings 201 to be inserted. The rotating grooves 101 are also annular grooves. Therefore, the rotating rings 201 can rotate freely within the rotating grooves 101, but cannot detach from the rotating grooves 101. In order for the rotating rings 201 to be assembled onto the rotating grooves 101, the rotating rings 201 are actually composed of two semi-rings. The two semi-rings are sequentially fitted onto the rotating grooves 101 to form a complete ring, and then fixed by heat fusion or other means.
[0017] As one embodiment and not a limitation, the outer surface of the rotating ring 201 is rotatably provided with a rotating shaft 202, and the outer end of the rotating shaft 202 is provided with a receiving arc rod 203, which is semi-circular in shape. When the two receiving arc rods 203 are located inside the basket body 100 and remain horizontal, they form a ring; when the two receiving arc rods 203 are located outside the basket body 100 and remain vertical, they are both hook-shaped. Since the receiving arc rod 203 is rotatably connected to the rotating ring 201 through the rotating shaft 202, the receiving arc rod 203 can rotate around the rotating shaft 202; for example... Figure 1 As shown, the two accommodating arc rods 203 are located inside the basket body 100 and maintain a horizontal posture, so users can put fragile items such as glass cups inside to prevent them from breaking due to bumps during driving.
[0018] Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 202 has a threaded section, which is threadedly connected and fixed to the receiving arc rod 203; therefore, the rotating shaft 202 and the receiving arc rod 203 are fixed by a threaded connection to facilitate disassembly and assembly. When some users do not need the receiving arc rod 203, it can also be removed, so that the basket body 100 of this embodiment is no different from an ordinary basket.
[0019] In this embodiment, a shaft hole is provided through the rotating ring 201 for the rotating shaft 202 to pass through. The rotating shaft 202 passes through the shaft hole and is distributed radially along the rotating ring 201. The rotating shaft 202 has a three-section structure that is wider at both ends and narrower in the middle, and the middle section of the rotating shaft 202 is inserted into the shaft hole to prevent the rotating shaft 202 from moving along its own axial direction. It should be noted that the rotating shaft 202 is composed of two shafts, such as... Figure 5 As shown, one end of one shaft is inserted into the shaft hole, and then the other shaft is threadedly connected and fixed to the first shaft, thus completing the installation of the rotating shaft 202 and the rotating ring 201, so that the rotating shaft 202 cannot be removed from the shaft hole.
[0020] Furthermore, the rotating groove 101 has a retaining groove 102 inside for the inner end of the rotating shaft 202 to be inserted. When the rotating shaft 202 abuts against the two inner ends of the rotating groove 101, the rotating shaft 202 is located on both the inner and outer sides of the basket body 100 and maintains a horizontal posture. The retaining groove 102 is a half-circular groove, which restricts the range of motion of the rotating shaft 202 and ensures that the rotating shaft 202 is always located in the upper part of the basket.
[0021] It should be further explained that the cross-section of the receiving arc rod 203 is circular. When the two receiving arc rods 203 are located inside the basket body 100 and remain horizontal, the two rings formed by them have notches at both ends. When both receiving arc rods 203 remain horizontal, the width of the notch at the end furthest from the rotating ring 201 is approximately 2 centimeters. The reason is that if the notch is too narrow, when the two receiving arc rods 203 rotate to a vertical position, their ends will be too small, which is not conducive to suspending objects; if the notch is too wide, it will not provide a good restraining effect.
[0022] In summary, in practical applications, if it is necessary to accommodate fragile items such as glass cups, both accommodating arc rods 203 should be bent into the basket body 100 and kept horizontal. Figure 1 As shown, then place the cup inside the ring. If you need to hang items, flip the receiving arc rod 203 to the outside and rotate it around the rotation axis 202 until it forms a hook shape with the opening facing upwards, as shown. Figure 3 As shown, items can now be hung on the receiving arc rod 203. Compared to traditional basket structures, this invention can not only accommodate fragile items such as glass cups, but also hang other items, increasing the basket's load-bearing capacity and improving its flexibility of use.
[0023] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 - Figure 10 This application proposes a multifunctional electric vehicle basket. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: A retaining sleeve 204 is fitted around the inner end of the rotating shaft 202. The inner ring wall of the retaining sleeve 204 has a bulge 205, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 202 has a spiral groove 206 for the bulge 205 to be inserted. When the retaining sleeve 204 moves along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 202, the bulge 205 can drive the rotating shaft 202 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spiral groove 206 is less than or equal to one-quarter of a turn, that is, when the bulge 205 moves from one end of the spiral groove 206 to the other end, the rotation angle of the rotating shaft 202 does not exceed ninety degrees.
[0024] In addition, the inner side walls of the retaining groove 102 are provided with wiring grooves 103, and the outer side walls of the retaining sleeve 204 are provided with wiring protrusions 207, which are respectively embedded in the two wiring grooves 103. When the rotating shaft 202 moves from the inner side to the outer side of the basket body 100, the wiring protrusions 207 can move toward the center of the rotating ring 201, so that the receiving arc rod 203 rotates to a hook shape with the opening facing upward. Since both ends of the retaining sleeve 204 have wiring protrusions 207 embedded in the wiring grooves 103, and the wiring grooves 103 on both sides of the retaining groove 102 are symmetrically distributed, when the rotating shaft 202 carries the retaining sleeve 204 synchronously, the retaining sleeve 204 can slide along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 202, and at the same time drive the rotating shaft 202 to rotate under the action of the bulge 205.
[0025] In summary, in the specific application of this embodiment, the state of the receiving arc rod 203 and the angle of the rotating ring 201 are linked. Specifically, when the rotating shaft 202 rotates to the inside of the basket body 100 and remains horizontal, the two receiving arc rods 203 can be combined to form a ring. When the rotating shaft 202 rotates to the outside of the basket body 100 and remains horizontal, the two receiving arc rods 203 are in the shape of hooks with their openings facing upwards, used for hanging items. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment does not require manual rotation of the angle of the receiving arc rod 203, and the angle of the receiving arc rod 203 can be maintained more stably. In particular, when the glass is inside the ring formed by the two, the receiving arc rod 203 will not easily become misaligned due to the collision of the glass.
[0026] Example 3: This application provides a method for using a multifunctional electric vehicle basket, applicable to the multifunctional electric vehicle basket in Example 1, including the following steps: When a user needs to use the basket to carry a glass, in order to prevent the glass from breaking due to vibration, both receiving arc rods 203 can be moved into the basket body 100 and kept in a horizontal position. At this time, the two receiving arc rods 203 together form a ring, and the user can put the glass into the ring to keep it in a vertical position. Specifically, during the vehicle's movement, although the glass will still vibrate, because the bottom of the glass is thicker, the vertically placed glass will not easily break due to vibration.
[0027] In addition to fragile items like glass cups, other items can also be placed inside the ring, such as rolled-up automatic umbrellas. The upright umbrellas will not be crushed by other items in the basket. Since the housing component 200 is located in one corner of the basket body 100, the internal space of the basket can be fully utilized to improve the basket's storage capacity.
[0028] When the user needs to hang an object, the receiving arc rod 203 will be rotated to the outside of the basket body 100 and the opening of the receiving arc rod 203 will face upward. At this time, the receiving arc rod 203 is in the shape of an upward-facing hook, and the user can hang objects on the receiving arc rod 203 to increase the storage capacity of the basket; for example, plastic bags usually have handles, which can be hung on the receiving arc rod 203.
[0029] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0030] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
