[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0030] Figure 1 FIG1 shows a mounting tool for mounting a bicycle grip cover 200 on a handlebar 100 and a schematic diagram of the structure of the bicycle handlebar 100 and the grip cover 200 provided in this embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an installation tool for installing a bicycle grip cover 200 on a handlebar 100, comprising a platform 1, a fixing assembly 2, and a pushing assembly. The fixing assembly 2 is disposed on the platform 1 and is capable of fixing the bicycle handlebar 100 to keep the handlebar 100 in a state ready for installation. The pushing assembly 3 is disposed on the platform 1 and is capable of pushing the grip cover 200 to a preset position on the handlebar 100 that is already in the state ready for installation, and then detaching from the grip cover 200 after the grip cover 200 has moved to the preset position.

[0031] The operator fixes the handlebar 100 on the platform 1 through the fixing component 2 so that the handlebar 100 remains in the state to be installed, and then places the handlebar cover 200 on the handlebar 100 and installs the handlebar cover 200 at a preset position on the handlebar 100 through the pushing component 3 so that the handlebar cover 200 can be smoothly installed on the handlebar 100. At this time, the installation of the handlebar cover 200 and the handlebar 100 is completed. The operator can remove the installed handlebar 100 and the handlebar cover 200 by releasing the handlebar 100.

[0032] This embodiment provides an installation tool for installing a bicycle grip cover 200 on a handlebar 100. This tool eliminates the need for manually pushing the grip cover 200 to the preset position on the handlebar 100. This reduces the time required to manually install the grip cover 200 on the handlebar 100, thereby improving the efficiency of installing the grip cover 200 and the handlebar 100. Furthermore, each set of grip covers 200 and handlebars 100 to be installed is installed in the same position, avoiding issues such as misalignment of the grip covers 200 and uneven tightening during installation, thereby ensuring the precise installation of the grip cover 200 and the handlebar 100. Furthermore, the tool avoids the problem of repeated installation steps during mass production, which can lead to hand fatigue or even injury, thereby reducing the operator's labor intensity. In summary, this further improves the competitiveness of bicycles and reduces production costs.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the state of the handlebar 100 to be installed is a state in which the preset positions at both ends of the handlebar 100 correspond to the grip cover 200. The preset positions on the handlebar 100 can be any positions on the tube wall of the handlebar 100. The specific positions in different handlebars 100 are not the same. In practice, the selection can be made on the handlebar 100 according to the actual operation requirements.

[0034] Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of a handlebar 100 and a grip cover 200 of a bicycle according to this embodiment. Figure 3 FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of an installation tool for installing a bicycle grip cover 200 on a handlebar 100 provided in this embodiment. Figure 2 and Figure 3 Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the fixing assembly 2 includes a first bearing block 21 disposed on the platform 1 and a clamping block 22 disposed on the first bearing block 21. The clamping block 22 can move closer to or farther away from the connecting tube portion 101 on the handlebar 100 relative to the first bearing block 21 to clamp or release the connecting tube portion 101. After the operator places the handlebar 100, the clamping block 22 clamps the connecting tube portion 101 on the handlebar 100 to limit the movement of the connecting tube portion 101 of the handlebar 100 along the radial direction of the connecting tube portion 101, and limits the rotation of the connecting tube portion 101 of the handlebar 100 about the axial direction of the connecting tube portion 101 through the friction between the clamping block 22 and the connecting tube portion 101.

[0035] Specifically, the fixing assembly 2 also includes a first positioning block 23 fixedly mounted on the platform 1 and used to position the connecting tube 101. The first positioning block 23 is provided with a positioning groove 231 that can be aligned with a portion of the surface of the connecting tube 101. The clamping block 22 is provided with a clamping groove 221 that can be aligned with another portion of the surface of the connecting tube 101. The positioning groove 231 and the clamping groove 221 simultaneously engage the connecting tube 101 to clamp the connecting tube 101. When the handlebar 100 is placed into the fixing assembly 2, the positioning groove 231 can position the connecting tube 101 of the handlebar 100, so that the operator can accurately install the handlebar 100 in a fixed position. Since the first positioning block 23 is fixedly mounted on the platform 1 and cannot move relative to the platform 1, the connection tube 101 of the handlebar 100 is limited in position by the positioning groove 231 of the first positioning block 23. The clamping block 22 then approaches the connection tube 101 and forces the clamping groove 221 to mate with the connection tube 101, while simultaneously cooperating with the positioning groove 231 to clamp the connection tube 101. This positioning-before-clamping approach prevents the connection tube 101 from not mate with the clamping groove 221 during clamping by the clamping block 22, thereby preventing irreversible damage to the clamping block 22 or the connection tube 101, thereby ensuring the integrity of the handlebar 100.

[0036] For example, the cross-sectional shapes of the clamping groove 221 and the positioning groove 231 of this embodiment along the axial direction of the connecting pipe portion 101 are both semicircular.

[0037] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 2 also includes a limiting block 24 disposed on the platform 1. The limiting block 24 is provided with a limiting opening 241 that can be abutted against the bent tube portion 102 on both sides of the connecting tube portion 101 of the handlebar 100 to limit the position of the bent tube portion 102. The limiting opening 241 abuts against the bent tube portion 102 and cooperates with the clamping block 22 to limit the axial movement of the connecting tube portion 101 of the handlebar 100, thereby cooperating with the clamping block 22 to secure the handlebar 100. This ensures that each set of handlebars 100 placed on the fixing assembly 2 can be maintained in a fixed position ready for installation.

[0038] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 2 also includes a second positioning block 25 disposed on the platform 1 and capable of abutting the tubular material of the handlebar 100 between the bent tube portion 102 and the connecting tube portion 101, and a positioning plate 26 disposed perpendicularly on the second positioning block 25 and capable of abutting the tubular material of the handlebar 100 between the bent tube portion 102 and the connecting tube portion 101, so as to position the tubular material of the handlebar 100 between the bent tube portion 102 and the connecting tube portion 101 and cooperate with the first positioning block 23 to form multiple positioning points, thereby achieving overall positioning of the handlebar 100. Furthermore, the second positioning block 25, while performing a positioning function, can also raise the handlebar 100 to adaptively match the height of the first positioning block 23 and the clamping block 22.

[0039] Furthermore, the fixing assembly 2 includes a first driving member 27 disposed on the first bearing block 21 and used to drive the clamping block 22 to move closer to or away from the connecting pipe portion 101 , instead of manually pushing the clamping block 22 to clamp the connecting pipe portion 101 .

[0040] In this embodiment, the first driving member 27 is a pneumatic cylinder, a motor, or a hydraulic cylinder. The fixed end of the first driving member 27 is disposed on the first bearing block 21, and the output end of the first driving member 27 is connected to the clamping block 22 to drive the movement of the clamping block 22. In other embodiments, the first driving member 27 may also be a linear output drive mechanism such as a screw-nut mechanism or a synchronous belt assembly. This embodiment does not specifically limit this; any linear output drive mechanism that can achieve the above-mentioned effects is within the scope of protection of the disclosed embodiments.

[0041] Preferably, the installation tool also includes a power component for providing power to the pushing component 3 and an adjusting member arranged between the power component and the pushing component 3 and used to adjust the power of the power component. The installation tool includes two pushing components 3 symmetrically arranged along the central axis of the connecting pipe portion 101. The two pushing components 3 can simultaneously abut against the handle cover 200 and push the handle cover 200 to the preset position on the handlebar 100. The power output to the two pushing components 3 by the power component is adjusted to the same size through the adjusting member, so that the two pushing components push the handle cover 200 to the preset position on the handlebar 100 almost synchronously, thereby completing the assembly of the handlebar 100 at one time, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the handle cover 200 on the handlebar 100.

[0042] It should be noted that the power assembly can be an air pump, power supply, or hydraulic pump that provides power to the first drive member 27 in the prior art, and the regulating member can be a valve in the prior art. Therefore, this embodiment will not be described in detail here. Power assemblies and regulating members in the prior art that can achieve the above-mentioned functions are all within the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0043] Furthermore, the pushing assembly 3 includes a second supporting block 31 arranged on the platform 1, and a pushing block 32 arranged on the second supporting block 31 and capable of approaching or moving away from the second supporting block 31 relative to the second supporting block 31. When the pushing block 32 moves away from the second supporting block 31, the end face of the pushing block 32 close to the handle cover 200 can abut against the handle cover 200 and push the handle cover 200 to a preset position on the handlebar 100. The end face of the pushing block 32 abuts against the handle cover 200 to ensure full contact between the pushing block 32 and the handle cover 200, thereby making the movement trajectory of the handle cover 200 more stable, preventing the handle cover 200 from offsetting during the process of being pushed to the preset position on the handlebar 100, causing the handle cover 200 to be scratched and damaged by the handlebar 100.

[0044] Furthermore, the pushing assembly 3 further includes a second driving member 33 disposed on the second bearing block 31 and used to drive the pushing block 32 to move closer to or away from the second bearing block 31 , thereby replacing manual driving of the pushing block 32 to move.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second drive member 33 is a pneumatic cylinder, a motor, or a hydraulic cylinder. The fixed end of the second drive member 33 is disposed on the second bearing block 31, and the output end of the second drive member 33 is connected to the push block 32 to drive the push block. In other embodiments, the second drive member 33 may also be a linear output drive mechanism such as a screw-nut mechanism or a synchronous belt assembly. This embodiment does not specifically limit this; any linear output drive mechanism that can achieve the above-described effects is within the scope of protection of the disclosed embodiments.

[0046] In this embodiment, the first positioning block 23, the second positioning block 25, the clamping block 22, the positioning plate 26, the limiting block 24, and the pushing block 32 are all made of polyurethane or wood to prevent hard contact between the handlebar 100 and the installation tool. In other embodiments, the first positioning block 23, the second positioning block 25, the clamping block 22, the positioning plate 26, the limiting block 24, and the pushing block 32 can also be made of materials with similar effects, and this embodiment is not specifically limited to this.

[0047] Figure 4 FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of an installation tool for installing a bicycle grip 200 on a handlebar 100 from another perspective provided by this embodiment. Figure 4 Combined with Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the pushing block 32 is provided with a receiving groove 311 capable of accommodating at least a portion of the grip 200, so as to move the grip 200 in its radial direction, thereby further ensuring that the grip 200 does not deviate when being pushed to the preset position on the handlebar 100. As an example, the receiving groove 311 can accommodate half the volume of the grip 200.
