[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the folding hook assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model includes a base 1, a hook member 2, a pin 3 and an elastic member 4.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 can be generally in the shape of a rectangular plate, and the length direction of the base 1 can be in the up-down direction, and the width direction of the base 1 can be in the left-right direction. During assembly, the base 1 can be connected and fixed with the corresponding components and remain relatively still with the corresponding components during use. In some other embodiments, the base 1 can also be a block structure, a base or other structural parts of other styles.

[0040] The hook member 2 is rotatably assembled with the base 1 and has a stowed position and an extended position. In the stowed position, the hook member 2 is attached to the base 1. In the extended position, the hook member 2 is used to hook with a setting component or place objects.

[0041] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the hook member 2 can be a hanging ring structure, and in some other embodiments, the hook member 2 can also be a hook structure, etc. The hook member 2 can be rotatably assembled with the base 1 through the pivot 5, and during the process of rotating and adjusting the hook member 2 relative to the base 1, the hook member 2 has a stowed position and an extended position.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, at this time, the hook member 2 is in the unfolded position, in which the hook member 2 and the base 1 are arranged at an angle, wherein the base 1 can be arranged generally vertically, and the hook member 2 can be arranged generally in an inclined direction from the front lower to the rear upper, thereby meeting the use requirements of the hook member 2 and the frame and other set parts. Secondly, it also meets the use requirements of hanging objects.

[0043] When the hook 2 is not needed, the hook 2 can be pushed forward. At this time, the hook 2 can be switched to the retracted position. In this position, the hook 2 will fit the base 1, and the hook 2 and the base 1 are generally located in the same vertical plane. Figure 3 As shown, the hook member 2 is prevented from protruding, thereby preventing the protruding hook member 2 from causing harm to the rider during riding, thereby improving the safety of use.

[0044] One of the base 1 and the hook 2 is provided with a pin 3, and the other is provided with a matching portion 24, and the pin 3 is used to cooperate with the matching portion 24 to keep the hook 2 in the retracted position. Figure 2As shown, the pin 3 can be assembled on the base 1, and the pin 3 may include a shell, a push piece and a spring, etc. The spring and the push piece can be assembled in the shell, wherein a part of the push piece can be exposed from the opening on the shell, and the spring can elastically push on the push piece, so that the push piece can be kept in an exposed state.

[0045] The matching portion 24 can be provided on the hook member 2, and the matching portion 24 can be a structure such as a groove. When the hook member 2 needs to be switched to the retracted position, the hook member 2 can be pushed forward manually, and after a part of the push member is embedded in the groove, the hook member 2 can be kept in the retracted position by the stop of the pin 3 and the groove wall of the groove.

[0046] When the hook member 2 needs to be switched to the deployed position, the hook member 2 can be pushed backwards manually. During this process, the push member will compress the spring and retract into the shell. After the push member is completely removed from the groove, the hook member 2 can swing relative to the base 1 and switch to the deployed position.

[0047] Optionally, the groove of the matching portion 24 may be a hemispherical groove, the outer surface of the pushing member may also be hemispherical, or the pushing member may be spherical as a whole, thereby facilitating the pushing member to be embedded in the groove or removed from the groove.

[0048] The elastic member 4 is disposed between the base 1 and the hook member 2 , and the elastic member 4 is used to drive the hook member 2 to switch from the retracted position to the deployed position after the pin 3 is released from the engagement with the engagement portion 24 .

[0049] For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the elastic member 4 can be a torsion spring, and the elastic member 4 can be assembled between the base 1 and the hook member 2. When in use, the elastic member 4 can always apply a backward swinging force to the hook member 2, so that after the lock of the pin 3 and the matching part 24 is manually released, the hook member 2 can automatically switch to the deployed position under the action of the elastic member 4, which improves the convenience of operation and ensures the stability of the hook cooperation with the frame.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the hook 2 is rotatably assembled with the bottom of the base 1, and in the unfolded position, the angle formed by the hook 2 and the base 1 is facing upward. Thus, the use needs of the hook 2 for hanging objects are fully met, and secondly, it is also in line with the ergonomic design, so that it is convenient for manual operation to switch the hook 2 to the stowed position or the unfolded position.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the hook member 2 is rotatably assembled with the base 1 via a pivot 5, and the elastic member 4 is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the pivot 5, wherein the pivot 5 can be a round shaft, and the pivot 5 can pass through the base 1 and the hook member 2 at the same time, and the elastic member 4 can be roughly in the shape of a circular ring, and the elastic member 4 can be directly sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the pivot 5.

[0052] The elastic member 4 has two free ends, both of which extend to the outside of the elastic member 4, and one free end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the base 1, and the other free end of the elastic member 4 is connected to the hook member 2. The elastic member 4 is specifically connected to the base 1 and the hook member 2 in a manner that allows for stop contact.

[0053] In some embodiments, the hook member 2 includes two arms 21 and a hook portion 22. The two arms 21 are arranged relative to each other in the extension direction of the pivot 5. The base 1 is rotatably assembled between the two arms 21. The hook portion 22 is connected between the two arms 21, and the hook portion 22 is used to hook and cooperate with the setting component.

[0054] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the arm 21 can be flat, and the two arm bodies 21 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the left-right direction. The hook portion 22 can be integrally formed between the top ends of the two arm bodies 21. The base 1 can be pivotally assembled between the bottom ends of the two arm bodies 21 through the pivot 5. When in use, the hook portion 22 extending in the left-right direction can be used to hook and cooperate with the frame, etc., and the two arm bodies 21 can be stopped and limited by the hooks on the frame, etc., thereby ensuring the structural stability of the assembly of the hook portion 22 and the frame.

[0055] In some embodiments, the hook member 2 includes a connecting portion 23 , which is connected between the two arms 21 and arranged opposite to the hook member 22 , and the connecting portion 23 is arranged adjacent to the pivot 5 relative to the hook member 22 , and the other end of the elastic member 4 abuts against the connecting portion 23 .

[0056] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the connecting portion 23 can be a plate-like structure, and the connecting portion 23 can be integrally formed between the bottom ends of the two arm bodies 21, and the pivot 5 and the connecting portion 23 are both located at the same end of the arm body 21. During assembly, a free end of the elastic member 4 can be overlapped on the connecting portion 23, thereby facilitating the limited assembly of the elastic member 4 and the hook member 2.

[0057] In some embodiments, the connecting portion 23 is provided with a matching groove 231, and at least part of the elastic member 4 is embedded in the matching groove 231. Figure 2 As shown, the matching groove 231 can be provided on the top side of the connecting portion 23 and is substantially located in the middle of the connecting portion 23. A free end of the elastic member 4 can pass through the matching groove 231 and overlap the connecting portion 23. Thus, the stability of the connection between the elastic member 4 and the connecting portion 23 is ensured.

[0058] In some embodiments, the pin 3 is disposed on at least one side of the base 1 in the extension direction of the pivot 5, and the matching portion 24 is disposed on the inner wall of at least one of the two arms 21. Figure 2 As shown, a pin 3 can be installed on both sides of the top of the base 1, and a matching portion 24 can be provided on the inner wall of the two arms 21. When the hook 2 is switched to the retracted position, the two pins 3 can respectively cooperate with the two matching portions 24 to ensure the locking effect of the hook 2.

[0059] In some embodiments, the base 1 includes two ear seats 11 arranged at intervals in the extension direction of the pivot 5, the two ear seats 11 are fitted between the two arms 21, an assembly groove 12 is formed between the two ear seats 11, the elastic member 4 is assembled in the assembly groove 12, and the pivot 5 passes through the two ear seats 11 and the two arms 21.

[0060] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the ear seat 11 can be generally annular, and the two ear seats 11 can be integrally formed at the bottom of the base 1 and can be located at the rear side of the base 1. The two ear seats 11 can be arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the left-right direction, and the space between the two ear seats 11 forms an assembly groove 12.

[0061] The elastic member 4 can be assembled in the assembly groove 12, and the pivot 5 can simultaneously pass through the two ear seats 11, the elastic member 4 and the two arm bodies 21. Thus, the compactness of the assembly structure is ensured, and the ear seats 11 can also play a shielding and protective effect on the elastic member 4, thereby preventing the elastic member 4 from being easily touched and interfered by foreign objects.

[0062] In some embodiments, the base 1 is provided with a mounting hole 13, and the mounting hole 13 is used for fasteners to install and fix the base 1. Figure 2 As shown, two mounting holes 13 may be provided, both of which may be round holes, and each mounting hole 13 may penetrate the base 1 along the thickness direction of the base 1. When in use, the mounting holes 13 may be passed through by fasteners such as screws, thereby facilitating the installation and fixing of the base 1 to the forehead 200, the vertical pipe, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the pin 3 is disposed at the end of the base 1 or the hook 2 away from the pivot 5. Figure 2 As shown, the pivot 5 can be assembled at the bottom end of the base 1 and the bottom end of the hook 2, the pin 3 can be arranged at the top end of the base 1, and the matching portion 24 is also correspondingly arranged at the top end of the hook 2. In this way, the force applied by the pin 3 and the force arm between the pivot 5 can be increased, so that the hook 2 can be locked and positioned when the pin 3 applies a small force.
