Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bicycle accessories, and more particularly to a novel folding bicycle frame. Background Art
[0002] A bicycle, also known as a cycle or bicycle, is a small, two-wheeled land vehicle, typically powered by pedals. Based on the functional characteristics of each component, it can be broadly divided into the steering system, the drive system, and the braking system.
[0003] Folding bicycles are popular in the market for their lightness and easy storage. However, after electrification, the weight of the entire bicycle increases (the weight of the battery and motor is greater than the weight of the frame), making it time-consuming and laborious to move the entire bicycle in spaces where riding is not possible. To this end, we provide a new folding frame to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention; it is obvious that the described embodiments are only 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 ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figure 1-6 A new type of folding frame includes a frame body 1, a front fork 2, a rear fork 3, a cross tube 4 and a folding mechanism 5. The front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the frame body 1. The cross tube 4 includes a first cross tube 41 connected to the front fork 2 and a second cross tube 42 connected to the frame body 1. The folding mechanism 5 is connected between the first cross tube 41 and the second cross tube 42. The rear fork 3 is fixedly mounted on the frame body 1. Wheel axle holes 6 are provided at the ends of the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3. The wheel axle holes 6 on the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 are of standard size, so that ordinary wheels can be easily installed. A magnetic locking block 7 is provided on the front fork 2, and a magnetic iron sheet 8 is provided on the rear fork 3. When the frame is folded, the magnetic locking block 7 is attracted to the magnetic iron sheet 8, locking the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 into one and making the wheel axle holes 6 of the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 flush, thereby realizing the pushing of the entire vehicle and improving convenience.
[0026] When the bicycle needs to be folded, the folding mechanism 5 is unlocked, folding the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 in half. The magnetic lock block 7 is then attracted to the magnetic iron sheet 8, locking the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 together. Since the wheel axle holes 6 of the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 are flush after folding, the front and rear wheels can be located in the same plane. Thus, when the bicycle is folded, both wheels can still contact the ground normally, allowing the folded frame to be pushed like a normal bicycle, saving effort. The advantages of magnetic attraction enable relatively simple operation and reliable locking, greatly simplifying the user's operating experience.
[0027] like Figure 3 As shown, the folding mechanism 5 includes a folding front section 51 fixedly connected to the first cross tube 41, a folding rear section 52 fixedly connected to the frame body 1, and a locking device 53. The folding front section 51 and the folding rear section 52 are hinged, and the locking device 53 is used to lock the folding front section 51 and the folding rear section 52 to facilitate folding and opening.
[0028] In addition, a diagonal brace 9 is provided on the frame body 1 , one end of the diagonal brace 9 is connected to the frame body 1 , and the other end is connected to the folding rear section 52 , so as to increase the stability of the entire frame.
[0029] like Figure 4 、 5As shown, the magnetic locking block 7 is installed on the left outer side of the front fork 2, and the inner side of the magnetic locking block 7 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 71, which is inserted into the front fork 2, and the inner end of the front fork 2 where the connecting rod 71 is installed is provided with a limiting ring 72 connected to the connecting rod 71, and a spring 73 is sleeved on the connecting rod 71 and located between the front fork 2 and the magnetic locking block 7. Through the mutual adsorption of the magnetic locking block 7 and the magnetic iron sheet 8, combined with the additional pressure provided by the spring 73, the locking force of the front fork 2 and the rear fork 3 can be effectively enhanced to ensure that the frame is tightly combined after folding and will not loosen.
[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, the magnetic iron sheet 8 is installed on the outer side of the left part of the rear fork 3. The magnetic iron sheet 8 is provided with a convex arc wrapping portion 81 near the rear fork 3, which adapts to the shape of the magnetic locking block 7 structure, so that the magnetic locking block 7 can be reliably adsorbed in the magnetic iron sheet 8.
[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who, within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or modifications based on the technical solutions and improved concepts of the present invention shall be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
