Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle frame structures, and more specifically, to a frame integrating a motor hanger seat. Background Art

[0002] Due to the trend of electrification surging into bicycle traffic, the market for electric-assisted bicycles is extremely hot in the current European and American markets. Compared with ordinary bicycles, electric-assisted bicycles have a several-fold increase in self-weight due to the addition of a series of electrical components such as batteries and motors. Coupled with a faster travel speed, it poses a greater challenge to the structural strength of the bicycle frame.

[0003] In the existing traditional technical structure, a metal bicycle frame is formed by splicing five types of tubes together, that is, through tube material arc punching, milling holes, and welding and forming on the surface of the tube materials under the support of an assembly mold; in the traditional welding structure, at the connection part of the tube materials, it only acts on the object surface, which actually brings two problems:

[0004] 1. Welding is to melt two adjacent metal parts and join them together. However, in traditional tube material welding, since it only acts on the axial surface part and cannot connect with each other in the radial part of the tube material, its ability to cope with the radial impact force of sports equipment is relatively weak;

[0005] 2. After steps such as arc punching of the tube materials, the formed connection part is usually an irregular joint surface, and usually there are situations such as overlap between the tube materials. Usually, a robotic arm cannot participate in welding. In the surface treatment of the weld bead (grinding the weld bead flat + filling), it will greatly increase the processing difficulty and increase the labor cost expenditure. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a frame integrating a motor hanger seat, which is convenient to process, has high strength and low cost.

[0007] In order to achieve the above utility model purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A frame integrating a motor hanger seat, comprising a hanger seat, a lower frame tube, a middle tube and a lower fork tube. The upper end of the middle tube is respectively connected to the lower frame tube and the lower fork tube through pipe fittings. The upper part of the hanger seat is successively and spacedly provided with an extension strut A, an extension strut B and a connecting branch. The lower ends of the lower frame tube, the middle tube and the lower fork tube are respectively welded and fixed to the extension strut A, the extension strut B and the connecting branch.

[0009] As a preferred solution: The hanger seat, the extension strut A, the extension strut B and the connecting branch are integrally formed.

[0010] As a preferred solution: a convex edge is further provided at the top of the extension strut A, the lower tube of the frame is sleeved on the convex edge, and a welding gap is left between the top of the extension strut A and the lower tube of the frame.

[0011] As a preferred solution: a stepped surface is formed between the convex edge and the top of the extension strut A, and a plurality of limiting grains are arranged at intervals on the stepped surface, and the limiting grains abut against the lower tube of the frame.

[0012] As a preferred solution: a convex edge is further provided at the top of the extension strut B, the middle tube is sleeved on the convex edge, and a welding gap is left between the top of the extension strut B and the middle tube.

[0013] As a preferred solution: a stepped surface is formed between the convex edge and the top of the extension strut B, and a plurality of limiting grains are arranged at intervals on the stepped surface, and the limiting grains abut against the middle tube.

[0014] As a preferred solution: the two connecting branches are arranged at intervals, a convex edge is further provided at the top of the connecting branch, the lower fork tube is sleeved on the convex edge, and a welding gap is left between the top of the connecting branch and the lower fork tube.

[0015] As a preferred solution: a stepped surface is formed between the convex edge and the top of the connecting branch, and a plurality of limiting grains are arranged at intervals on the stepped surface, and the limiting grains abut against the connecting branch.

[0016] As a preferred solution: a charging and discharging seat mounting opening is further provided on the side wall of the extension strut B on the hanger seat.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] The present utility model redesigns the frame structure for the welding process. By designing the extension strut A, the extension strut B and the connecting branch on the hanger seat, when other pipe fittings are welded to the hanger seat, the position of the weld bead can be expanded outwards, reducing special-shaped welding, reducing the welding difficulty, and reducing the amount of welding heat erosion deformation; at the same time, due to the outward expansion of the weld bead position, the weld bead between the hanger seat and the pipe fitting is more regular, and robotic arm welding can be accessed during mass production, reducing labor costs.

[0029] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a vehicle frame with an integrated motor hanger seat includes a hanger seat 1, a lower tube 2 of the vehicle frame, a middle tube 3 and a lower fork tube 4. The upper end of the middle tube 3 is respectively connected to the lower tube 2 of the vehicle frame and the lower fork tube 4 through pipe fittings. The upper part of the hanger seat 1 is successively and spacedly provided with an extension strut A11, an extension strut B12 and a connection trunk 13. The lower ends of the lower tube 2 of the vehicle frame, the middle tube 3 and the lower fork tube 4 are respectively welded and fixed to the extension strut A11, the extension strut B12 and the connection trunk 13. The hanger seat 1, the extension strut A11, the extension strut B12 and the connection trunk 13 are integrally formed, and the overall strength is high.

[0031] Due to the addition of the extension strut A11, the extension strut B12 and the connection trunk 13 on the hanger seat in the present utility model, the vehicle frame has greater advantages than the traditional hanger in terms of the feasibility degree of welding mechanization and the structural strength.

[0032] The specific structure of the hanger seat in this application is as Figure 2 shown. A flange 15 is further provided at the top of the extension strut A11. The lower tube 2 of the vehicle frame is sleeved on the flange 15, and a welding gap is left with the top of the extension strut A11. The flange 15 and the top of the extension strut A11 form a stepped surface, and a plurality of limiting grains 14 are spacedly provided on the stepped surface. The limiting grains 14 abut against the lower tube 2 of the vehicle frame.

[0033] A flange 15 is further provided at the top of the extension strut B12. The middle tube 3 is sleeved on the flange 15, and a welding gap is left with the top of the extension strut B12. The flange 15 and the top of the extension strut B12 form a stepped surface, and a plurality of limiting grains 14 are spacedly provided on the stepped surface. The limiting grains 14 abut against the middle tube 3. A charging and discharging seat mounting opening 16 is further provided on the side wall of the extension strut B12 on the hanger seat 1, and the overall function is more abundant.

[0034] The two connecting branches 13 are arranged at intervals, and a convex edge 15 is further provided at the top of the connecting branch 13. The lower fork tube 4 is sleeved on the convex edge 15, and a welding gap is left between the lower fork tube 4 and the top of the connecting branch 13. The convex edge 15 and the top of the connecting branch 13 form a stepped surface, and a plurality of limiting grains 14 are arranged at intervals on the stepped surface, and the limiting grains 14 abut against the connecting branch 13.

[0035] During production, the extension strut A11, the extension strut B12 on the hanger seat and the stepped structure of the connecting branch 13 are inserted into the corresponding lower frame tube 2, the middle tube 3 and the lower fork tube 4 of the frame. After insertion, the limiting grains can still leave a step between the hanger seat and the tube material for the welding torch to penetrate for welding. This design can reduce the development of the frame assembly mold during subsequent frame assembly, effectively reducing costs. At the same time, the stepped insertion into the tube material increases the radial welding connection, which can greatly enhance the strength.

[0036] The structure of the above hanger seat enhances the radial strength of the frame and the fit between the pipe fittings; at the same time, the limiting grain structure at the convex edge in the present invention is smaller, the number of subsequent CNC machining times is smaller, and within the same stepped area, the welding space of the present invention is wider and larger, and the structural strength is stronger than that of market products.

[0037] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to terms such as "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principle and purpose of the present invention.
