After installing the handlebars on the vehicle body, the handlebars are folded and shipped, which reduces the assembly burden on consumers and also reduces the after-sales burden on manufacturers.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A foldable handlebar includes a handlebar main body and a safety bar inserted into the handlebar main body and detachably connected to the handlebar main body. A locking mechanism is provided between the safety bar and the handlebar main body. The handlebar main body includes a central pipe body and folding pipes arranged at the left and right ends of the central pipe body and hinged to the central pipe body.

[0006] Preferably, the central pipe body includes a first round pipe and first square pipes arranged at the left and right ends of the first round pipe. Pipe part avoidance holes adapted to the folding pipes are provided on the outer walls of the first square pipes far from the first round pipe. The hinge between the central pipe body and the folding pipes is located on the first square pipes.

[0007] Preferably, the folding pipe includes a second square pipe hinged to the first square pipe through a hinge and a second round pipe arranged at one end of the second square pipe far from the first square pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the hinge is a bolt. The safety bar includes two rod units. Each rod unit includes a main support part and an auxiliary support part arranged at one end of the main support part. The two rod units are arranged centrosymmetrically, and an avoidance hole adapted to the bolt is formed in the middle of the two rod units.

[0009] Preferably, the cross-section of the overlapping part of the main support part of one rod unit and the auxiliary support part of the other rod unit is a circular cross-section adapted to the cross-section of the second round pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a snap provided on the bumper, and a through hole adapted to the snap is provided on the outer wall of the handlebar body.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0012] The central pipe body of the handlebar body of the present utility model is hinged to the folding pipe, and the folding pipe can rotate 90°, so that the whole handlebar body can be folded, which can reduce the space occupied by the handlebar; the bumper is inserted into the handlebar body and is detachably connected to the handlebar body.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and not to limit the scope of the present utility model. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present utility model, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by this application.

[0019] Embodiment: As shown in the appendix Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the present utility model relates to a foldable handlebar, which includes a handlebar main body and a safety bar inserted into the handlebar main body and detachably connected to the handlebar main body. A locking mechanism is provided between the safety bar and the handlebar main body. The handlebar main body includes a central tube body 1 and folding tubes 2 arranged at the left and right ends of the central tube body 1 and hinged to the central tube body 1. The folding tubes 2 can rotate at least 90°. The folding tubes 2 can be adjusted from a state parallel to the central tube body 1 to a state perpendicular to the central tube body 1. When the folding tubes 2 are parallel to the central tube body 1, the safety bar is passed through the folding tube 2 on the left, the central tube body 1, and the folding tube 2 on the right in sequence from left to right, so as to prevent the deformation of the handlebar main body. By locking the safety bar in the handlebar main body through the locking mechanism, the stability during the use of the present utility model can be ensured. After removing the safety bar from the handlebar main body, rotate the folding tubes 2 by 90° to make the handlebar main body in a folded state, reducing the space occupied when installed on the vehicle body and facilitating transportation, solving the problem of inconvenient transportation of bicycles caused by the existence of the handlebar. After the handlebar is installed on the vehicle body, the handlebar can be folded and shipped, reducing the assembly burden on consumers and also reducing the after-sales burden on manufacturers.

[0020] The central tube body 1 and the folding tubes 2 can adopt a circular tube structure. Preferably, the central tube body 1 includes a first circular tube 11 and first square tubes 12 arranged at the left and right ends of the first circular tube 11. The first square tubes 12 and the first circular tube 11 adopt an integral structure. A tube part avoidance hole 13 adapted to the folding tube 2 is provided on the outer wall of the first square tube 12 far from the first circular tube 11, so that the folding tube 2 can rotate at least 90°. The hinge 3 between the central tube body 1 and the folding tube 2 is located on the first square tube 12. The folding tube 2 includes a second square tube 21 hinged to the first square tube 12 through the hinge 3 and a second circular tube 22 arranged at one end of the second square tube 21 far from the first square tube 12.
