[0002] Bicycles (including ordinary bicycles and electric bicycles) play an important role in people's lives as means of transportation. Bicycles are not only used for riding to work, but also involve carrying people and goods in some scenarios. Usually, when a bicycle leaves the factory, the needs of carrying people and goods have been taken into account, so a rear frame is installed at the rear of the bicycle. However, the rear frames configured for existing bicycles are usually fixed frames, and there are the following problems: First, the existing rear frames cannot be disassembled and assembled onto the bicycle body as needed; second, the size of the rear frame itself cannot be adjusted and set, making it difficult to meet the need for stable loading of items of different sizes in the cargo-carrying scenario; third, after the items are loaded onto the rear frame, if the center of gravity position of the items is inappropriate, it is easy to cause imbalance during riding.

[0003] In summary, it is necessary to develop and design a bicycle with an expandable rear frame to meet the cargo-carrying needs and solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0020] To further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given for detailed description.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 , the bicycle with an expandable rear frame of the present invention includes a main frame 4. As shown in the figure, a handlebar assembly 8 is installed at the front of the main frame 4, a front wheel 9 is installed at the lower end of the handlebar assembly 8, a rear wheel 6 is installed at the rear of the main frame 4, and a seat assembly 5 is installed at the top of the main frame 4. Figure 1 What is shown in

[0022] is the structural form of an electric bicycle. It can be seen that the front wheel 9 or the rear wheel 6 is equipped with a hub motor, and a pedal and battery 7 are installed at the bottom of the main frame 4. Of course, it can be imagined that the bicycle can also be an ordinary bicycle.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , it can be seen that:

[0024] The rear frame 3 includes a support chassis, the support chassis is installed on the rear support seat 1 and a front-back adjustment mechanism is provided between the support chassis and the rear support seat 1, so that the rear frame 3 can be displaced back and forth.

[0025] In this embodiment, the supporting chassis includes a horizontal base plate 3-3. At the bottom of the base plate 3-3, there are two left and right supporting vertical plates 3-1 installed. The two supporting vertical plates 3-1 are respectively located on both sides of the rear supporting seat 1 and are fixedly connected to the rear supporting seat 1 by a front and rear adjustment mechanism.

[0026] In this embodiment, the front and rear adjustment mechanism includes adjustment mounting holes 2 provided on both sides of the rear supporting seat 1. The adjustment mounting holes 2 are threaded holes. At the front and rear of the supporting vertical plate 3-1, there are adjustment screws 3-2 with rotating ends at the outer ends. The inner ends of the adjustment screws 3-2 are located in the adjustment mounting holes 2. When it is necessary to adjust the front and rear positions of the rear frame 3, rotate the adjustment screws 3-2 to release the connection with the rear supporting seat 1, move forward or backward, and then screw the adjustment screws 3-2 into the adjustment mounting holes 2 at other positions again.

[0027] On the supporting chassis, there are two left and right groups of laterally movable translation supports 3-4 (two on the left and two on the right). On the two groups of translation supports 3-4, there is a group of left sleeves 3-5 and a group of right sleeves 3-6 installed. The left sleeves 3-5 have two front and rear ones, and the right sleeves 3-6 have two front and rear ones, and each of the left sleeves 3-5 and the right sleeves 3-6 is arranged in parallel.

[0028] On the inner side of the translation support 3-4, there are chutes. The front edge and the rear edge of the base plate 3-3 are respectively located in the chutes of the front translation support 3-4 and the rear translation support 3-4, forming a left and right adjustment mechanism. Further, a locking and fixing mechanism is provided between the translation support 3-4 and the base plate 3-3.

[0029] The combination composed of two left and right groups of translation supports 3-4, the left sleeves 3-5 and the right sleeves 3-6 can move left and right. The front edge and the rear edge of the base plate 3-3 serve as the slide rails when the translation supports 3-4 move laterally. The locking and fixing mechanism can be a locking screw. A threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the translation support 3-4 that penetrates upward to the chute. The locking screw is located in the threaded hole and its upper end contacts the bottom surface of the base plate 3-3. When it is necessary to adjust the left and right displacement, loosen each locking screw and re-tighten each locking screw after moving into place.

[0030] The left end of the left sleeve 3-5 is open, and the left telescopic rod 3-7 is inserted inside it. The right end of the right sleeve 3-6 is open, and the right telescopic rod 3-8 is inserted inside it. Therefore, the left telescopic rod 3-7 can perform telescopic movements on the left side, and the right telescopic rod 3-8 can perform telescopic movements on the right side. On the left sleeve 3-5 and the right sleeve 3-6, there are two fixed bases 3-9, one on the left and the other on the right, and a load-carrying support beam 3-11 is installed on the fixed base 3-9. On the outer ends of the left telescopic rod 3-7 and the right telescopic rod 3-8, there are moving bases 3-10, and a load-carrying support beam 3-11 is installed on the moving base 3-10. Therefore, the positions of the two load-carrying support beams 3-11 in the middle cannot change, and the two load-carrying support beams 3-11 on both sides can move left and right. In this way, the width dimension of the rear frame 3 can be adjusted and set to meet the needs of carrying and fixing items of different sizes.

[0031] In this embodiment, the left sleeve 3-5 and the right sleeve 3-6 are both welded and fixed to the left and right groups of translation supports 3-4. The fixed base 3-9 is welded and fixed to the left sleeve 3-5 and the right sleeve 3-6. The moving base 3-10 is welded and fixed to the outer ends of the left telescopic rod 3-7 and the right telescopic rod 3-8.

[0032] In this embodiment, a locking and fixing mechanism for the left telescopic rod 3-7 is provided on the side wall of the left sleeve 3-5, and a locking and fixing mechanism for the right telescopic rod 3-8 is provided on the side wall of the right sleeve 3-6. The locking and fixing mechanisms are both locking screws. Radially penetrating threaded holes are provided on the side walls of the left sleeve 3-5 and the right sleeve 3-6. The locking screws are located in the threaded holes, and the inner ends are in contact with the telescopic rods. When telescopic adjustment is required, loosen each locking screw and then re-tighten each locking screw after the telescopic adjustment is in place.

[0033] In this embodiment, the front part of the load-carrying support beam 3-11 is fixedly connected to the fixed base 3-9 and the moving base 3-10 by screws. A plurality of vertically penetrating perforations 3-12 are provided at the rear end of each load-carrying support beam 3-11. The function of providing the perforations 3-12 is to improve the convenience of operating the connection with the binding ropes when loading items.

[0034] Operation method:

[0035] Install and fix the rear frame 3 on the rear support seat 1. Adjust the telescopic length of the telescopic rods in the sleeves according to the size of the item to adapt and adjust the width dimension of the rear frame 3. Place the item on the rear frame 3 and use ropes to bind and fix the item to each load-carrying support beam 3-11. After loading the item onto the rear frame 3, if it is felt that the item affects the balance of the vehicle's center of gravity when riding the bicycle, stop and make appropriate left-right displacement adjustment and appropriate front-back displacement adjustment to the item.

[0036] When the vehicle is not carrying any load, the entire rear frame 3 can be disassembled. The rear seat cushion 10 can be installed or not installed on the rear support seat 1. Installing the rear seat cushion 10 is for carrying passengers and ensuring comfort.
