[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides the following technical solutions: A frame down tube for a lithium battery assisted bicycle, including a frame down tube body 1, a driving mechanism card seat 2 and a battery box 3.
[0026] Among them, both the frame down tube body 1 and the driving mechanism card seat 2 are of hollow structures inside, forming a battery box 3 for accommodating battery installation, and the two are integrally formed, and the internal spaces are connected to each other, forming a battery box 3 with a larger internal space compared to the ordinary fully hidden battery box in the prior art. More battery cells of the same model can be accommodated, specifically, the maximum capacity of the entire battery box 3 can reach 960 Wh, so that the electric vehicle has a longer cruising range.
[0027] In this embodiment, 40 21700 model battery cells can be selected. There are screw holes reserved in the battery box 3, which can be used for pre-installing the battery in the battery box 3 inside the frame down tube body 1 and the driving mechanism card seat 2 before assembling the frame.
[0028] Furthermore, reinforcement plates 4 as shown in Figures 2-5 are provided inside the battery boxes 3 of the frame down tube body 1 and the driving mechanism card seat 2. The setting of the reinforcement plates 4 can improve the overall structural strength of the frame down tube body 1 and the driving mechanism card seat 2.
[0029] Furthermore, the driving mechanism card seat 2 includes an arc-shaped card seat 22 that matches the external driving mechanism. During installation, it is pressed above the external driving mechanism. In this embodiment, since the frame down tube body 1 and the driving mechanism card seat 2 are integrally formed, the battery cavity and the wiring cavity inside the frame down tube body 1 are both connected to the battery cavity and the wiring cavity inside the driving mechanism card seat 2 to form an interconnected battery installation space.
[0030] As shown in Figures 4-5As shown, the battery box 3 includes a first battery installation box 31 disposed inside the lower tube body 1 of the frame and a second battery installation box 32 disposed inside the driving mechanism card holder 2. The interiors of the first battery installation box 31 and the second battery installation box 32 both have a battery cavity for installing batteries and communicating with each other, and a wiring cavity separated from the battery cavity by a reinforcing plate 4 and communicating with each other.
[0031] Furthermore, the shape and structure of the first battery installation box 31 match the shape and structure of the lower tube body 1 of the frame, and it is arranged to fit against the inner wall of the lower tube body 1 of the frame; the shape and structure of the second battery installation box 32 match the shape and structure of the driving mechanism card holder 2, and it is arranged to fit against the inside of the driving mechanism card holder 2.
[0032] In this way, the battery cavity inside the interconnected first battery installation box 31 and second battery installation box 32 can increase the battery loading space, so as to install a larger number of batteries, further increasing the cruising range of the electric assist bicycle. Moreover, the hidden design of the battery box 3 has a compact and beautiful structure, and the batteries hidden inside the battery box 3 also ensure the safety of the batteries and improve the safety of battery use.
[0033] The interconnected wiring cavity can be used for wiring. Wires, brake wires and other wire materials in the electric assist bicycle can pass through and be arranged in the wiring cavity. In this way, there are fewer exposed wire materials on the electric assist bicycle. On the one hand, it can reduce the aging of the wire materials, and on the other hand, it is more beautiful.
[0034] As Figures 3-5 As shown, the reinforcing plate 4 is disposed inside the lower tube body 1 of the frame and the driving mechanism card holder 2. On the one hand, it can enhance the mechanical strength of the lower tube body 1 of the frame and the driving mechanism card holder 2, making them solid, durable and safe. On the other hand, it is used to separate the battery cavity and the wiring cavity, making the battery cavity and the wiring cavity into independent spaces from each other, so that the battery installation and wire routing will not interfere with each other. When assembling the electric assist bicycle, the wire routing is more convenient, the distribution of the battery and the wire materials can be made more neat, and it is also convenient for later maintenance and repair to a certain extent.
[0035] Specifically, a power supply hole 101 penetrating the side wall of the lower tube body 1 of the frame is opened on the inner wall of one end of the lower tube body 1 of the frame away from the driving mechanism card holder 2; it can be used for the battery inside the battery box 3 to be powered later.
[0036] Specifically, one end of the lower tube body 1 of the frame is fixedly provided with a head tube connection end 11 connected to the external frame head tube; one end of the driving mechanism card holder 2 is fixedly provided with a rear fork connection end 21 connected to the external frame rear fork; in this way, during assembly, the head tube connection end 11 of the lower tube body 1 of the frame is welded to the frame head tube, and the rear fork connection end 21 of the driving mechanism card holder 2 is welded to the frame rear fork, and the integrally connected lower tube body 1 of the frame and the driving mechanism card holder 2 are installed between the frame head tube and the rear fork.
[0037] In an alternative embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor or a drive actuator.
[0038] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "vertical", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, 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.
[0039] In the description of the present utility model, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "arranged", "installed", "connected", "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.
