Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of golf carts, in particular to a handlebar load-carrying structure and a golf cart. Background Art

[0002] A golf cart is a special vehicle for carrying and transporting people on a golf course, which is convenient for people to transfer and transport golf bags on a vast golf course. A two-wheeled golf cart is light and flexible and will not affect the lawn of the fairway, but its small shape also limits its load-carrying capacity.

[0003] In view of the structures of existing bicycles and two-wheeled electric vehicles, generally, a storage basket in front of the vehicle frame or a storage rack behind the vehicle frame is used to achieve the load-carrying function. However, for a golf cart, it needs to load golf bags, and has a relatively high requirement for the load-carrying capacity. Moreover, the golf bag has a long shape. If the golf bag is placed behind the vehicle frame, it is easy for the golf bag to fall off and the driver cannot detect it in time; if the golf bag is placed in front of the vehicle frame, the large volume of the golf bag easily interferes with the steering of the handlebar and affects the driving experience. Therefore, a reasonable structure needs to be designed. Summary of the Utility Model

These are only for the convenience of description and simplifying the operations, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this preferred embodiment provides a handlebar load-bearing structure. A vertical tube 2 is arranged on the handlebar 1 and inserted into the head tube 12. A core rod 3 is inserted through the vertical tube 2. The upper end of the core rod 3 extends out of the vertical tube 2 and forms a fixed bracket 4 for hanging heavy objects. An auxiliary bracket is arranged on the head tube 12 and cooperates with the fixed bracket 4 to stabilize the heavy objects.

[0031] Wherein, an annular protrusion 5 is arranged on the inner wall of the vertical tube 2. A first bearing 6 is abutted against the upper edge of the annular protrusion 5, and a second bearing 7 is abutted against the lower edge of the annular protrusion 5. The core rod 3 is assembled and connected to the vertical tube 2 through the first bearing 6 and the second bearing 7, enabling the core rod 3 to rotate relative to the vertical tube 2. A limit protrusion 8 is arranged on the core rod 3 and above the first bearing 6, and a limiting member 9 is arranged on the core rod 3 and below the second bearing 7. The limit protrusion 8 and the limiting member 9 cooperate to clamp the first bearing 6 and the second bearing 7, axially locking the core rod 3 in the vertical tube 2.

[0032] Thus, this handlebar load-bearing structure designs a rotatable fixed bracket 4 at the existing handlebar 1 part, such that the load of the fixed bracket 4 does not affect the steering of the handlebar 1, with good operating feel, and ensures the reliable connection of the fixed bracket 4. Cooperating with the auxiliary bracket realizes the function of hanging heavy objects on the handlebar 1.

[0033] Specifically, to achieve reliable pressing of the limit protrusion 8 on the first bearing 6 and improve the load-bearing capacity of the fixed bracket 4, an end cap 10 is arranged at the upper end port of the vertical tube 2. The lower surface of the end cap 10 abuts against the first bearing 6. The core rod 3 passes through the end cap 10, and the limit protrusion 8 abuts against the upper surface of the end cap 10.

[0034] Preferably, the limit protrusion 8 is annular, so that the load force of the fixed bracket 4 is evenly applied to the end cap 10 through the core rod 3 and the limit protrusion 8, and then presses on the first bearing 6. And cooperating with the limiting effect of the annular protrusion 5 on the first bearing 6, the first bearing 6 is reliably fixed.

[0035] Particularly, a spacer 11 is disposed against the lower side surface of the second bearing 7. Here, the limiting member 9 is preferably a bolt, and the rod portion of the bolt passes through the spacer 11 and is threadedly connected to the lower end of the core rod 3, so as to conveniently cooperate with the annular protrusion 5 to reliably fix the second bearing 7, and further cooperate with the limiting protrusion 8 to reliably install the core rod 3, enabling the core rod 3 to only rotate.

[0036] Furthermore, to facilitate the installation of the second bearing 7 and the bolt in the vertical pipe 2, the vertical pipe 2 is designed as a segmented structure, and the installation positions of the second bearing 7 and the bolt are at the ports of the pipe segments.

[0037] Particularly, the handlebar 1 extends out on both sides of the vertical pipe 2 and is in a U-shaped configuration. The fixing bracket 4 is formed in the middle area of the U-shaped configuration. Among them, the bottom position of the U-shaped configuration can be designed to be lower to leave enough space for the fixing bracket 4, and then the top grip position of the U-shaped configuration is raised to the normal height to ensure a comfortable driving feeling.

[0038] Specifically, the auxiliary bracket includes a support plate 13 mounted on the head tube 12. The support plate 13 forms a support for the bottom of the heavy object, reducing the load-bearing requirement of the fixing bracket 4.

[0039] Alternatively, the auxiliary bracket includes fixing arms 14 disposed on both sides of the head tube 12. The two fixing arms 14 hold the heavy object tightly to cooperate with the fixing bracket 4 to improve the fixing effect.

[0040] Furthermore, elastic straps 15 for tightening the heavy object are respectively disposed on the fixing arms 14 and the fixing bracket 4. The elastic straps 15 can be quickly tied and untied to facilitate the operator to fix or remove the heavy object.

[0041] Of course, the support plate 13 and the fixing arms 14 can be used in combination, as Figure 1 shown.

[0042] On this basis, this embodiment further provides a golf cart, as Figure 1 shown, including a handlebar 1 and a head tube 12. Among them, the handlebar 1 adopts the above-mentioned handlebar load-carrying structure. The handlebar 1 can rotate freely relative to the head tube 12, and the fixing bracket 4 in the handlebar load-carrying structure can rotate freely relative to the handlebar 1. The fixing bracket 4 is used for mounting a golf bag, and the auxiliary bracket in the handlebar load-carrying structure is used to cooperate with the fixing bracket 4 to fix the golf bag, as Figure 5 shown.

[0043] Thus, the golf cart adopting the above-mentioned handlebar load-carrying structure can mount the golf bag at the handlebar 1, and make the golf bag relatively independent of the handlebar 1 without affecting the steering of the handlebar 1, improving the driving feeling and providing a new design idea for the golf cart structure.

[0044] It is placed at the U-shaped handle position of the handlebar 1, making the fixing bracket 4 for mounting the golf bag relatively independent of the handlebar. The auxiliary bracket cooperates with the fixing bracket 4 to fix the golf bag. When the handlebar 1 turns, it can rotate through the first bearing 6 and the second bearing 7 and cooperate with the fixing arm 14 and the support plate 13 below to keep the golf bag stationary, thus not affecting the turning of the handlebar, achieving the required effect, not affecting the turning of the handlebar, achieving the required effect, improving driving safety, and providing a new design idea for the structure of the golf cart.

[0045] In addition, this handlebar load-carrying structure is not only applicable to the above-mentioned golf cart model, but also applicable to other models. Additionally, the heavy object to be mounted is not limited to the golf bag, and other additional items can also be used.

[0046] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, various obvious changes, re-adjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
