[0018] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that this embodiment is based on the technical solution and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to this embodiment.

[0019] This embodiment provides a foldable handlebar, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, it includes a handle 1, and both ends of the handle 1 are respectively connected to a handle 2, one end of the handle 2 2 and the end of the handle 1 are connected through a rotating shaft 7, and one end of the handle 2 2 can rotate up and down around the rotating shaft 7; the end of the handle 1 and one end of the handle 2 are externally sleeved with a locking assembly 6, and the locking assembly 6 can move axially; a compression spring 5 is provided in the handle 2, one end of the compression spring 5 is connected to the handle 2 2, and the other end is connected to the locking assembly 6.

[0020] When the handlebars need to be folded, pull the locking assembly 6 in the direction of handlebar 2, until handlebar 1 is separated from the locking assembly 6 and the compression spring 5 is compressed. At this time, turn handlebar 2 downward to make it perpendicular to handlebar 1, and then release the locking assembly 6. The locking assembly 6 will be tightly pressed against handlebar 1 under the elastic potential energy of the compression spring 5. The handlebars 2 on both sides can be folded by turning them downward in the same way. When the handlebars need to be unfolded, first press the locking assembly 6 downward to separate the locking assembly 6 from handlebar 1, and then turn handlebar 22 upward to make it horizontal with handlebar 1 again, and re-sleeve the locking assembly 6 on handlebar 1. At this time, the compression spring 5 returns to its original state and provides a tightening force to the locking assembly 6, thereby locking handlebar 1 and handlebar 22. The folding and unfolding states of the handlebars are shown in Figure 2 and Figure 2 respectively. Figure 4 , 5 shown.

[0021] In this embodiment, a handle 3 is provided on the outside of the locking assembly 6 to facilitate pulling of the locking assembly 6. Specifically, the handle 3 is rotatably connected to the locking assembly 6 via a hinge 14. More specifically, the handle 3 fits in a manner opposite to the locking assembly 6. When the locking assembly 6 needs to be pulled, the handle 3 is unscrewed for use, and after use, the handle 3 is reattached to the side of the locking assembly 6, so that the space occupied by the handle 3 can be reduced.

[0022] In this embodiment, a rotating connecting block 9 is provided at one end of the handle 2, and an axial hole 10 for the rotating shaft 7 to pass through is provided at the end of the rotating connecting block 9 and the end of the handle 1, and a gap is provided at the end of the handle 1 for the rotating connecting block 9 to pass through when the handle 2 is rotated up and down.

[0023] In this embodiment, a spring limit block 24 is provided at one end of the handle 2, and a spring limit block 18 is provided at the other end of the handle 2. One end and the other end of the compression spring 5 are respectively connected to the spring limit block 24 and the spring limit block 18; an axially extending guide hole 11 is provided on the surface of one end of the handle 2, and the spring limit block 24 extends from the guide hole 11 to the outside of the handle 2 and is connected to the locking assembly 6.

[0024] When the locking assembly 6 moves, it drives the spring stopper 2 4 to move along the guide hole 11, and generates a force on the compression spring 5 through the spring stopper 2 4. In addition, the guide hole 11 can limit the displacement of the locking assembly 6 to prevent it from being separated from the handle 2 2.

[0025] Specifically, an opening 12 for installing a spring limit block 8 is reserved on the other end surface of the handle 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 3As shown, the locking assembly 6 is a hoop structure, one side of which has an opening, and the two sides of the opening are connected by an adjusting screw 13, and the opening of the opening can be adjusted by adjusting the screw 13. The hoop structure can facilitate the rapid installation of the locking assembly 6, and the reserved frame amount can be quickly adjusted by adjusting the screw 13.

[0027] For those skilled in the art, various corresponding changes and modifications can be made according to the above technical solutions and concepts, and all of these changes and modifications should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
