[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the present disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0032] As used herein, the term "including" and its variations mean open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to." Unless otherwise stated, the term "or" means "and / or." The term "based on" means "based at least in part on." The terms "one example embodiment" and "an embodiment" mean "at least one example embodiment." The term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment." The terms "first," "second," etc. may refer to different or identical objects.

[0033] As mentioned above, for the basket of a bicycle (more specifically, a shared bicycle) equipped with a helmet lock assembly, the design of the basket not only needs to consider structural strength and flame retardancy, but also needs to consider the signal transmission between the helmet and the helmet lock assembly. In the related art, the basket body is integrally injection molded so that the basket body has sufficient structural strength and does not interfere with the signal transmission between the helmet lock assembly and the helmet. However, the integrally injection molded basket body is not conducive to reducing the proportion of plastic parts in the entire bicycle and has the disadvantage of poor flame retardancy. The basket provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is equipped with a helmet lock assembly, wherein at least a portion of the basket body is made of metal material, and at least a portion of the cover of the helmet lock assembly for protecting components such as signal transmission components is made of plastic. This reduces the weight ratio of the overall plastic parts of the basket while not affecting the signal transmission between the signal transmission components of the helmet lock assembly and the helmet, thereby helping to improve the flame retardancy of the basket and the bicycle having the basket (especially shared bicycles, more specifically, shared electric motorcycles).

[0034] The following describes a basket 10 , a basket assembly 100 , and a bicycle 1000 according to embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Figures 1 to 9 FIG2 is a schematic structural diagram of a basket assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The basket assembly 100 includes a basket 10 and a helmet 20 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figures 10 to 13 FIG. 1 shows a structural schematic diagram of a basket 10 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0036] Figure 14 and Figure 15 FIG. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a helmet 20 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0037] Figure 16 and Figure 17 FIG2 shows a partial structural schematic diagram of a bicycle 1000 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The bicycle 1000 is equipped with a basket assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0038] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 14 and Figure 15 The helmet 20 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a bottom 21, a top 23, and a side portion 22 located between the bottom 21 and the top 23. The bottom 21 of the helmet 20 is open to allow the user to enter the interior 210 of the helmet 20 from the bottom 21 (see FIG. Figure 6 ). See Figure 14 and Figure 15The side portion 22 includes a front area 221, a back area 222, and left and right side areas 223. The front area 221 corresponds to the forehead of the user, the back area 222 corresponds to the back of the user's head, and the left and right side areas 223 correspond to the left and right sides of the user's head. Figure 15 The left and right side areas 223 of the helmet 20 include a left area 2231 and a right area 2232 .

[0039] See also Figure 3 In the front-to-back direction of the helmet 20 itself, the curvature radius of the rear area 222 of the helmet 20 is smaller, and the curvature radius of the front area 221 of the helmet 20 is larger. Figure 3 and 14 The rear area 222 of the helmet 20 protrudes relative to the front area 221 toward the bottom 21 of the helmet 20, so that the rear area 222 has a larger protection area, thereby fully protecting the back of the user's head. In some embodiments, a recess 224 transitions between the front area 221 and the rear area 222, and the recess 224 corresponds to the user's ear, for example.

[0040] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, the helmet 20 can be placed in the basket 10 in a sideways manner. More specifically, the opening of the bottom 21 of the helmet 20 faces the rear of the bicycle. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the helmet 20 can also be placed in the basket 10 in other postures.

[0041] See also Figure 6 and Figure 15 The top 23 and / or the side 22 of the helmet 20 may be provided with at least one groove 225, and the groove 225 may be provided for the user's fingers to be inserted so that the user can carry the helmet 20 in a hand-carrying manner.

[0042] In some embodiments, when the helmet 20 is placed sideways in the basket 10, the left side area 2231 faces downward and the right side area 2232 faces upward. The at least one groove 225 may include a top groove 2251 located at the top 23 and a side groove 2252 located at the right side area 2232. When the helmet 20 is placed in the basket 10, the opening of the top groove 2251 faces downward (including obliquely downward). The top groove 2251 can be aligned with the second positioning member 242 (see FIG. 242 ) in the basket 10. Figure 6 ) to stably position the helmet 20 in the basket 10. Furthermore, the user can easily remove the helmet 20 from the basket 10 via the side grooves 2252. When the helmet 20 is outside the basket 10, the user can carry the helmet 20 by gripping the top groove 2251. Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the helmet 20 placed sideways in the basket 10 can be positioned with the left side region 2231 facing upward and the right side region 2232 facing downward, and the positions of the top groove 2251 and the side grooves 2252 can be modified accordingly.

[0043] See again Figure 1 The basket 10 includes a basket body 11 and a helmet lock assembly 12. The basket body 11 defines a receiving cavity 110 for accommodating the helmet 20. In some embodiments, the helmet lock assembly 12 can be completely accommodated within the receiving cavity 110. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the helmet lock assembly 12 can be located outside the receiving cavity 110. When the helmet 20 is placed in the basket body 11, the helmet lock assembly 12 includes a lock body that can extend into the receiving cavity 110. The lock body can lock the helmet 20 in the receiving cavity 110 to prevent the helmet 20 from being lost.

[0044] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 The basket body 11 includes a bottom wall 111 and a side wall 112, and the bottom wall 111 and the side wall 112 are connected to define a receiving cavity 110 (see Figure 6 ), and the top of the accommodating cavity 110 is open. In some embodiments, the side wall 112 is a generally rectangular frame, and the side wall 112 may include a front wall 1121 away from the riding user, a rear wall 1122 closer to the riding user, and a left side wall 1123 and a right side wall 1124 located between the front wall 1121 and the rear wall 1122.

[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, directional terms such as "front," "rear," "left," and "right" with respect to the basket 10 and basket body 11 in the embodiments of the present disclosure refer to the front, rear, left, and right directions of the bicycle 1000 to which the basket 10 is mounted. Directional terms such as "front," "rear," "left," and "right" with respect to the helmet 20 refer to the front, rear, left, and right directions of the user wearing the helmet 20. These directional terms are intended solely to clarify the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to unduly limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure. It should be understood that when the helmet 20 is placed in the basket 10, the front, rear, left, and right directions of the helmet 20 may not be consistent with those of the basket 10 / basket body 11.

[0046] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the bottom wall 111 and / or at least a portion of the side wall 112 of the basket body 11 can be made of metal. Compared to the injection-molded basket bodies 11 of related shared bicycles, the use of metal in this embodiment effectively reduces the weight of the plastic components of the basket 10, helping to improve the flame retardancy of the basket 10. This, in turn, helps reduce the weight of plastic components and improve the flame retardancy of bicycles (including but not limited to shared bicycles, motorcycles, and other vehicles).

[0047] In some embodiments, the basket body 11 can be integrally formed by die-casting or other methods. In some embodiments, the basket body 11 can be formed from at least two separately formed components, for example, secured together by welding, fasteners, or other suitable means. In some embodiments, the basket body 11 can be formed by splicing sheet metal parts and a metal bar frame.

[0048] See also Figure 8 In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom wall 111 may be an integrally formed first member 11A. The front wall 1121, left side wall 1123, and right side wall 1124 may be an integrally formed second member 11B. The rear wall 1122 may be an integrally formed third member 11C. The first member 11A, second member 11B, and third member 11C may each be, for example, metal members (more specifically, sheet metal members). By welding these three sheet metal members together, the basket body 11 is formed.

[0049] In the embodiment shown in the present disclosure, the basket body 11 is formed by welding at least two sheet metal parts. Each sheet metal part is easy to process and form. The basket body 11 obtained after welding the sheet metal parts has sufficient structural strength and good flame retardant properties.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, the basket body 11 may have other configurations. For example, a portion of the sidewalls 112 (e.g., the rear wall 1122) and the bottom wall 111 may be integrally formed metal members (more specifically, sheet metal members), while the remaining portions of the sidewalls 112 (e.g., the front wall 1121, the left sidewall 1123, and the right sidewall 1124) may be integrally formed metal members (more specifically, sheet metal members). Alternatively, the bottom wall 111, the front wall 1121, and the left sidewall 1123 (or the right sidewall 1124) may be integrally formed metal members (more specifically, sheet metal members), while the right sidewall 1124 (or the left sidewall 1123) and the rear wall 1122 may be integrally formed metal members (more specifically, sheet metal members). Alternatively, the sidewalls 112 may be a combination of sheet metal members and a metal bar frame.

[0051] Of course, the embodiments of the basket body 11 are not limited to the above examples. For example, in some alternative embodiments, a portion of the basket body 11 (e.g., a portion of the sidewall 112 and the bottom wall 111) is made of metal (more specifically, sheet metal), while another portion is made of plastic (the remaining portion of the sidewall 112). The metal and plastic components are spliced ​​together to form the basket body 11. This embodiment can also reduce the weight of the plastic components of the basket body 11 and improve the flame retardancy of the basket body 11.

[0052] See also Figures 11 to 13The bottom wall 111 (i.e., the first piece 11A) is provided with an upwardly extending flange 1111 around its periphery. The bottom edges of the second piece 11B and the third piece 11C (i.e., the bottom edges of the side walls 112) are supported by the bottom wall 111 and abut against the inner sides of the flange 1111, thereby coupling the side walls 112 to the bottom wall 111. The provision of the flange 1111 not only facilitates positioning of the second piece 11B and the third piece 11C on the bottom wall 111, but also facilitates welding of the second piece 11B, the third piece 11C, and the first piece 11A.

[0053] It is understood that the embodiment of the flange 1111 of the bottom wall 111 varies depending on the specific embodiment of the bottom wall 111 and the side wall 112 of the basket body 11. Specifically, the flange 1111 is provided at the edge of the bottom wall 111 where the side wall 112 needs to be positioned.

[0054] See also Figure 11 In some embodiments, an upwardly protruding boss 1113 is provided on the front side of the bottom wall 111. The boss 1113 extends in the left-right direction and is adjacent to the flange 1111. A notch 1120 is provided on the bottom edge portion of the side wall 112 (more specifically, the bottom edge portion of the second piece 11B) at a position corresponding to the boss 1113. When the second piece 11B is placed on the bottom wall 111, the notch 1120 engages with the boss 1113, which not only facilitates the positioning between the second piece 11B and the bottom wall 111, but also improves the ability of the second piece 11B and the bottom wall 111 to resist lateral impact.

[0055] See also Figure 2 In some embodiments, a recess 1114 is formed on the back of the boss 1113 , and a lamp can be installed in the recess 1114 .

[0056] See also Figure 11 In some embodiments, the boss 1113 is formed with an avoidance recess 1115. When the helmet 20 is placed in the basket 10, the avoidance recess 1115 can prevent the boss 1113 from interfering with the placement of the helmet 20.

[0057] Continue to see Figure 11 In some embodiments, the bottom wall 111 is provided with a through hole 1110. When the helmet 20 is not placed in the basket 10, debris such as leaves that have fallen into the basket 10 can be discharged through the through hole 1110. When the helmet 20 is placed in the basket 10, the helmet 20 strap and other accessories can naturally hang down through the through hole 1110. Furthermore, the provision of the through hole 1110 helps reduce the weight of the basket body 11.

[0058] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 12In some embodiments, a plurality of positioning members 24 may be disposed within the accommodating cavity. These positioning members 24 extend upward from the front side of the bottom wall 111, for example, and are used to support the helmet 20, ensuring that the helmet 20 is properly positioned and preventing the helmet 20 from shaking or tilting within the basket 10 and affecting the locking of the helmet lock assembly 12. In some embodiments, the shape of the contact surface of the positioning members 24 for contacting the helmet 20 matches the surface shape of the helmet 20.

[0059] In some embodiments, the positioning member 24 includes, for example, two first positioning members 241 spaced apart from each other on the left and right sides and a second positioning member 242 located between the two first positioning members 241 .

[0060] Each first positioning member 241 has, for example, a card table 2411 (see Figure 12 ), the engaging platform 2411 is used to engage with the left or right end of the boss 1113, thereby facilitating the positioning of the first positioning member 241. Each first positioning member 241 can be, for example, a metal member (more specifically, a sheet metal member) and is fixed (coupled) to the bottom wall 111 and / or the second member 11B by welding or other suitable means.

[0061] The upward extension length of the second positioning member 242 is, for example, greater than the upward extension length of the two first positioning members 241, so as to provide sufficient support for the helmet 20. Figure 6 The second positioning member 242, for example, extends upward to the top 23 of the sideways-placed helmet 20, filling the gap between the top 23 of the helmet 20 and the front wall 1121 of the basket body 11. As previously described, when the helmet 20 is sideways-placed in the basket 10 and has a top recess 2251, the second positioning member 242, for example, has a portion that protrudes toward the top recess 2251. Of course, if the helmet 20 does not have a top recess 2251, the second positioning member 242 may simply have a surface that mates with the shape of the helmet 20. The second positioning member 242 may be, for example, a metal member (more specifically, a sheet metal member) secured (coupled) to the bottom wall 111 and / or the front wall 1121 of the second member 11B by welding or other suitable means.

[0062] Each positioning member 24 is made of metal, for example, which can further reduce the weight of the plastic member of the basket 10 .

[0063] Continue to see Figure 11, the second piece 11B is, for example, a U-shaped structure with the opening facing backward. A plurality of weight-reducing holes (not numbered in the figure) may be provided on the second piece 11B. The rear wall 1122 (that is, the third piece 11C) includes a central main body 11221 and connecting parts 11222 extending forward from the left and right sides of the main body 11221. When the second piece 11B and the third piece 11C are both placed on the bottom wall 111, the left edge 11231 and the right edge 11241 of the second piece 11B are respectively fixed (coupled) to the connecting parts 11222 on the left and right sides of the rear wall 1122, for example, by welding or other suitable means. In some embodiments, the left edge 11231 and the right edge 11241 of the second piece 11B are respectively superimposed on the inner sides of the connecting parts 11222 on the left and right sides. In addition, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 11 The left edge 11231 and the right edge 11241 on the inner side of the connecting portion 11222 stacked on the left and right sides can also assist in the installation and positioning of the helmet lock assembly 12.

[0064] See also Figure 12 and Figure 13 The middle portion of the main body 11221 of the rear wall 1122 is formed with a mounting portion 11225, through which the basket is fixed to the mounting seat 33 of the bicycle 30. Figure 16 and Figure 17 In some embodiments, the mounting portion 11225 protrudes outward from the rear wall 1122 and is secured to the mounting seat 33 via a plurality of fasteners 331, thereby securing the basket 10 to the frame 30 of the bicycle 1000. The shape of the mounting portion 11225 can, for example, match that of the mounting seat 33, facilitating quick positioning of the mounting portion 11225 and the mounting seat 33.

[0065] Continue to see Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, a protrusion 11226 is formed on the top of the main body 11221 of the rear wall 1122, protruding outward (more specifically, protruding toward the rear of the basket 10). A receiving groove 11227 is formed inside the protrusion 11226. The receiving groove 11227 is part of the receiving cavity 110 and is used to accommodate the controller 1221 of the helmet lock assembly 12.

[0066] The following combination Figure 6 、 Figure 9 ,as well as Figures 11 to 13 The helmet lock assembly 12 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is described below. Specifically, the helmet lock assembly 12 includes a cover 121 and a lock assembly 122 . The helmet lock assembly 12 is located in the accommodating cavity 110 .

[0067] See also Figure 6The cover body 121 includes a top cover portion 1211 and a side cover portion 1212. The top cover portion 1211 extends backward from the top of the side cover portion 1212, and the side cover portion 1212 extends toward the bottom wall 111. The side cover portion 1212 is opposite to the rear wall 1122, dividing the accommodating cavity 110 into a helmet cavity 1101 and a lock assembly cavity 1102 arranged front and back. Figure 6 As shown, the helmet cavity 1101 is used to accommodate the helmet 20, and the lock assembly cavity 1102 is used to accommodate the lock assembly 122. The receiving groove 11227 is in the lock assembly cavity 1102. The top cover portion 1211 covers the top opening of the lock assembly cavity 1102 to prevent debris, rainwater, etc. from easily entering the lock assembly cavity 1102 through the top opening of the lock assembly cavity 1102. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, although the helmet cavity 1101 and the lock assembly cavity 1102 are separated by the cover body 121, this does not mean that the two must be sealed and isolated chambers from each other.

[0068] Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the cover 121 may have other implementations and is not limited to the above examples. Specifically, the cover 121 only needs to be able to form a lock assembly cavity 1102 that protects the electronic components of the lock assembly 122 (such as signal transmission components, controller 1221, etc.) and other structures that need to be protected (such as the transmission mechanism of the lock body), and does not affect the signal transmission between the signal transmission components and the outside world (such as the helmet 20). Therefore, the lock assembly cavity 1102 can be entirely located in the accommodating cavity 110, or a portion of the lock assembly cavity 1102 can overlap with the accommodating cavity 110, or the lock assembly cavity 1102 can be entirely located outside the accommodating cavity 110.

[0069] See again Figure 3 The surface shape of the side cover 1212 is roughly matched with the shape of the bottom 21 of the helmet 20. This is beneficial for the user to quickly determine the placement direction of the helmet 20 on the one hand, and is beneficial for positioning the helmet 20 in the helmet cavity 1101 on the other hand.

[0070] See also Figure 13 In some embodiments, the side cover portion 1212 may be provided with a fastener mounting portion 12121, and a fastener (not shown) may pass through the rear wall 1122 and connect to the fastener mounting portion 12121, thereby fixing the cover body 121 to the rear wall 1122. In some embodiments, the top cover portion 1211 may be provided with a fastener mounting portion 12111, and a fastener (not shown) may pass through the rear wall 1122 and connect to the fastener mounting portion 12111.

[0071] See also Figure 12 and Figure 13The lock assembly 122 includes a controller 1221, a lock body, and a signal transmission component (not shown). The signal transmission component is coupled to the controller 1221, which processes signals received by the signal transmission component or transmits an instruction signal via the signal transmission component. In some embodiments, the controller 1221 is used to control the movement of the lock body to lock or release the helmet 20.

[0072] In some embodiments, the side cover portion 1212 is provided with a through hole 12120, and the lock body can be extended and retracted relative to the through hole 12120 to switch between a locked position and a released position. In the locked position, the lock body extends from the lock assembly cavity 1102 through the through hole 12120 toward the helmet cavity 1101, pressing against a portion of the helmet 20 located in the helmet cavity 1101, locking the helmet 20 with the lock body and preventing it from being removed from the basket 10. In the released position, the lock body retracts through the through hole 12120 toward the lock assembly cavity 1102, releasing the lock on the helmet 20 and allowing it to be removed from the basket 10.

[0073] The controller 1221 is fixed to the receiving slot 11227 , and is used to control the (extension) movement of the lock body according to the instructions. In some embodiments, the controller 1221 can be fixed to the inner wall of the receiving slot 11227 through the bracket 123 .

[0074] In some embodiments, the signal transmission component can receive a radio frequency signal or an NFC signal from the helmet 20 and send the radio frequency signal or the NFC signal to the controller 1221. The controller 1221 controls the movement of the lock body between the locking position and the releasing position according to the radio frequency signal or the NFC signal.

[0075] To avoid interfering with signal transmission between the helmet 20 and the controller 1221 of the lock assembly 122, the cover 121 is made of, for example, a material that minimizes signal transmission. To facilitate molding, the cover 121 can be, for example, a plastic component integrally formed via injection molding. Of course, in some embodiments, the cover 121 can be composed of a combination of plastic and other non-plastic materials, with the plastic portion of the cover 121 allowing for signal transmission between the signal transmission component and the outside world. In some embodiments, at least the portion of the cover 121 corresponding to the signal transmission component is made of plastic.

[0076] See also Figure 12 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, a through hole 11220 is provided in the middle of the mounting portion 11225 , and a cable for connecting to the controller 1221 can enter the lock assembly cavity 1102 through the through hole 11220 .

[0077] In some embodiments not shown, a rectangular boss is provided on the mounting seat 33, and the rectangular boss is arranged around the through hole 330. The rectangular boss can be inserted into the through hole 11220, which can improve the connection strength of the connection between the mounting seat 33 and the rear wall 1122.

[0078] See also Figure 13 、 Figure 16 and Figure 17 , shows a partial structure of a bicycle 1000 equipped with a basket assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The frame 30 of bicycle 1000 includes a handlebar cover 31, which is provided with a connecting tube 32. Connecting tube 32 is connected to a mounting base 33, for example, by welding. As previously described, mounting base 33 can be connected to the mounting portion 11225 of the basket 10, thereby securing the basket 10 to the bicycle.

[0079] In some embodiments, through-hole 11220 is generally rectangular in shape. Mounting base 33 has a through-hole 330 opposite through-hole 11220. Through-hole 330 is, for example, generally rectangular in shape. Connecting tube 32 is, for example, a rectangular tube. Rectangular tube 33 is inserted into through-hole 330 and welded to mounting base 33. Rectangular tube 33 can also be inserted into through-hole 11220.

[0080] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, at least a portion of the basket body 11 of the basket 10 is made of metal, while at least a portion of the cover 121 of the helmet lock assembly 12, which protects components such as signal transmission components, is made of plastic. This reduces the overall weight of the basket's plastic components while maintaining signal transmission between the helmet lock assembly 12's signal transmission components and the helmet 20. This improves the flame retardancy of the basket 10 and the bicycle 1000 (particularly a shared bicycle, more specifically, a shared electric motorcycle) equipped with the basket 10. Furthermore, a rearwardly projecting protrusion 11226 is provided on the rear wall 1122 of the basket body 11. The controller 1221 of the helmet lock assembly 12 is accommodated in a receiving groove 11227 formed by the protrusion 11226. This effectively utilizes the space between the rear wall 1122 and the handlebars, contributing to a more compact structure for the basket body 11. The basket body 11 can be assembled from sheet metal parts. Each sheet metal part is not only easy to manufacture but also has a good flame retardant effect. Each sheet metal part has a reasonable structure and is easy to install and position relative to each other.
