Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bicycles, in particular to a folding locking device for a bicycle. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the portability of bicycles and reduce storage space, some bicycle frames adopt a foldable structure. When carrying or storing, the folding locking device on the frame is opened and the frame is folded together to reduce the overall size. When riding, the frame is unfolded and the two parts of the frame are fixedly connected by the folding locking device to form an integrated structure, which is convenient for stable riding.

[0003] The current frame folding structure is to fix a frame connecting block on the front section of the frame and a frame connecting block on the rear section of the frame, and hinge the side walls of the two frame connecting blocks together through a hinge shaft, so that the front section and the rear section of the frame can be rotated around the hinge shaft to achieve a folding effect of the frame folding in half. At the same time, an open buckle is provided on one frame connecting block, and a pull rod is rotatably provided on the other frame connecting block, and a handle with an eccentric wheel is provided at the end of the pull rod. When the bicycle is unfolded and used, the pull rod is rotated to make the pull rod snap into the above-mentioned open buckle. At this time, the outer side surface of the circumference of the eccentric wheel at the end of the pull rod just contacts the surface of the open buckle. The handle is rotated to make the eccentric wheel press against the surface of the open buckle to realize the unfolding and positioning of the frame. This structure relies on the pull rod to connect the two frame positioning blocks together, and has high requirements on the pulling force of the pull rod.

[0022] 14. The folding locking device of claim 13, wherein the first and second frame connecting blocks are hingedly connected to each other, and a side wall of the first frame connecting block 1 and a side wall of the second frame connecting block 2 can be tightly flat together as the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 rotate relative to each other, and a locking block 3 is slidably provided on one side wall of the first frame connecting block 1, and a lock is provided on one side wall of the second frame connecting block 2. The locking block 3 can slide on one side wall of the first frame connecting block 1 and be engaged or disengaged with the lock, thereby fixing the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 to form a whole or being able to rotate relative to each other, and a locking block 3 driving device and a locking block 3 positioning device are also provided on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2, the locking block 3 driving device can drive the locking block 3 to slide, and the locking block 3 positioning device can stop and position the locking block 3 or the locking block 3 driving device so that the locking block 3 remains in a position connected to the lock.

[0023] When in use, the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 are fixed to the front section and the rear section of the foldable frame respectively.

[0024] When folding, the locking block 3 is driven by the locking block 3 driving device to slide in the unlocking direction, so that the locking block 3 is disengaged from the lock buckle, and then the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 are unlocked. At this time, the front and rear sections of the bicycle frame can be rotated to make the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 rotate relative to each other, and the front and rear sections of the bicycle frame are folded together, reducing the length of the entire frame and making it easier to store and carry.

[0025] When the frame is unfolded, the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 of the front and rear sections of the frame are rotated to keep one side thereof flat. At this time, the frame is unfolded. Then, the locking block 3 is driven by the locking block 3 driving device to slide in the locking direction, so that the locking block 3 is engaged and connected with the lock buckle, and then the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 are locked and fixed in position to form an integrated structure. At this time, normal riding can be carried out.

[0026] The locking block 3 driving device includes an operating handle 4 and a pull rod 5, one end of the pull rod 5 is fixedly connected to the locking block 3, and an eccentric wheel 6 is provided at one end of the operating handle 4. The eccentric wheel 6 can be rotated to a set angle and installed on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2. The other end of the pull rod 5 is always close to the outer side surface of the circumference of the eccentric wheel 6 and drives the locking block 3 to slide as the eccentric wheel 6 rotates. The locking block 3 positioning device can stop and position the operating handle 4 rotated to the locking angle position with the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2.

[0027] By rotating the operating handle 4, the eccentric wheel 6 is driven to rotate synchronously, and then the cam surface of the eccentric wheel 6 is used to drive the pull rod 5 to slide linearly, and then the locking block 3 is driven to slide back and forth to achieve unlocking or locking. When the operating handle 4 drives the eccentric wheel 6 to rotate, when it rotates to the locked position, the locking block 3 positioning device is used to stop and position the locking block 3 or the operating handle 4 to prevent it from being accidentally opened by external force. The above structure is simple, occupies a small space, uses the lever principle, and is labor-saving to operate. In addition, the locking block 3 driving device can also be a method of rotating the handle to drive the screw to rotate, or a quick-clamping device with a connecting rod structure, etc. The above structures are all equivalent replacement structures that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art based on this patent and fall within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0028] The locking block 3 positioning device is a movably mounted insert 7 on the operating handle 4. A slot 8 is provided on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2. When the operating handle 4 is rotated to the locked angle position, the insert 7 moves on the operating handle 4 and can be inserted into the slot 8 to achieve a stop position of the operating handle 4. The operating handle 4 is also provided with a first elastic member 9. The first elastic member 9 can provide an elastic retaining force to the insert 7, so that the insert 7 automatically inserts into the slot 8 on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2 when the operating handle 4 is in the locked angle position. When the operating handle 4 is rotated to the locked position, the insert 7 on the operating handle 4 is exactly aligned with the slot 8 on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2. Under the elastic force of the first elastic member 9, the insert 7 automatically inserts into the slot 8 to lock the position of the operating handle 4, preventing it from being accidentally rotated by external forces, causing the bicycle frame to suddenly unlock during riding, thereby ensuring riding safety. The structure for limiting the rotation angle of the eccentric wheel 6 can be to set a limiting protrusion 31 on the axial end face of the eccentric wheel 6, and set an arc-shaped groove on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2. The limiting protrusion slides in the arc-shaped groove to limit the rotation angle, so that it cannot continue to rotate after it rotates to the locked position, so that the operating handle 4 is automatically locked after it is rotated into place.

[0029] The operating handle 4 is provided with a plug-in mounting hole 10 with a long cross-section. The plug-in 7 is inserted into the plug-in mounting hole 10, and the plug-in 7 is hinged on the side wall of the plug-in mounting hole 10 to be able to swing at a set angle. One end of the plug-in 7 is always located outside the plug-in mounting hole 10 to form a pressing operation end, and the other end of the plug-in 7 can extend out of the plug-in mounting hole 10 to a set length or retract into the plug-in mounting hole 10 as the plug-in 7 swings. The other end of the plug-in 7 extends out of the plug-in mounting hole 10 by a set distance and can be inserted into the slot 8. The first elastic member 9 provides elastic torsion to the plug-in 7 so that the other end thereof remains extended out of the plug-in mounting hole 10 to a set length. The insert 7 swings left and right in the insert mounting hole 10, and is restricted by the inner side wall of the long strip insert mounting hole 10. The insert 7 can only swing within a certain angle range. When the operating handle 4 is rotated to the insert mounting hole 10, the insert 7 is aligned with the slot 8 on the first frame connecting block 1 or the second frame connecting block 2. Under the action of the first elastic member 9, the insert 7 swings a certain angle and is inserted into the slot 8. In addition to adopting a structure of elastic swinging left and right, the insert 7 can also slide up and down or left and right to be plugged and positioned with the slot 8. These structures are equivalent replacement structures that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art based on this patent and fall within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0030] The outer side of the pull rod 5 is provided with a radially outward-expanding retaining ring 17, and the first frame connecting block 1 is also provided with a U-shaped pad 24. The U-shaped pad 24 can be installed on the first frame connecting block 1 in the same direction as the locking block 3. The U-shaped bottom surface of the U-shaped pad 24 is provided with an avoidance hole 25 for the pull rod 5 to pass through, and unlocking shaft holes 26 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the U-shaped pad 24. The radially outward-expanding retaining ring 17 on the pull rod 5 is accommodated in the U-shaped pad 24 and stopped on the bottom surface of the U-shaped pad 24 close to the side surface of the eccentric wheel 6. The eccentric protrusion 31 is provided on at least one axial end face of the eccentric wheel 6. The eccentric protrusion 31 is inserted into the unlocking shaft hole 26 on at least one side wall of the U-shaped pad 24. The eccentric protrusion 31 can drive the U-shaped pad 24 to slide on the first frame connecting block 1 as the eccentric wheel 6 rotates, thereby driving the pull rod 5 to move in the unlocking direction. When unlocking, the eccentric wheel 6 rotates in the unlocking direction, and the eccentric protrusions 31 at both ends of the eccentric wheel 6 pull the U-shaped pad 24 to slide, thereby causing the locking block 3 to automatically disengage from the lock buckle and actively unlock; when the eccentric wheel 6 rotates in the locking direction, the eccentric protrusions 31 on the eccentric wheel 6 push the U-shaped pad 24 to move in the opposite direction to release the radially outward expansion ring 17 on the pull rod 5. At the same time, the outer side surface of the circumference of the eccentric wheel 6 is tightly pressed against the other end of the pull rod 5, causing the locking block 3 to move in the locking direction and then engage with the lock buckle.

[0031] A pressure block 18 is sleeved on the outer side of the other end of the pull rod 5. The pressure block 18 is inserted between the two side walls of the U-shaped pad 24, with a circumferential stop and an axial sliding state. One end of the pressure block 18 is tightly against the radially outward expansion ring 17, and the other end of the pressure block 18 forms an arc-shaped concave surface. The outer circumferential surface of the eccentric wheel 6 is tightly against the arc-shaped concave surface at the other end of the pressure block 18. The contact between the arc-shaped concave surface on the pressure block 18 and the cam surface of the eccentric wheel 6 can reduce friction and ensure smooth rotation of the eccentric wheel 6.

[0032] The locking block 3 is a V-shaped block, and one end of the pull rod 5 is threadedly connected and fixed to the locking block 3. A first locking block accommodating groove 11 is provided on one side wall of the first frame connecting block 1, and a second locking block accommodating groove 14 is provided on one side wall of the second frame connecting block 2. The first locking block accommodating groove and the second locking block 3 accommodating groove are respectively provided with a first concave card groove 15 and a second concave card groove 16 on one side wall along the sliding direction of the locking block 3. The locking block 3 can be slidably accommodated in the first locking block accommodating groove 11 and the second locking block accommodating groove 14 at a set distance. The two ends of the V-shaped structure of the locking block 3 can be respectively inserted into the first concave card groove 15 and the second concave card groove 16 to tightly combine the first frame connecting block 1 and the second frame connecting block 2 together. A side wall at one end of the first locking block accommodating groove 11 is provided with an avoidance through-hole 12 for the other end of the pull rod 5 to extend out of the first locking block accommodating groove 11. The locking block 3 adopts a V-shaped structure, which contacts the inner edges of the first concave slot 15 and the second concave slot 16 through its inclined surface. When the locking block 3 is unlocked and the second frame connecting block 2 is rotated relative to the first frame connecting block 1, the inclined surface of the locking block 3 is automatically slid out of the second concave slot 16 by the pressure of the inner edge of the second concave slot 16 to achieve unlocking. In addition, the locking block 3 can also be a hook-shaped structure. When it slides in the first locking block accommodating groove 11, the hook structure on it hooks the annular lock buckle on the side wall of the second frame connecting block 2.

[0033] A second elastic member 13 is also provided in the first locking block receiving groove 11. The second elastic member 13 is sleeved on the outside of the pull rod 5. The elastically retractable ends of the second elastic member 13 respectively press against the locking block 3 and the inner side wall of one end of the first locking block receiving groove 11. The second elastic member 13 provides a locking elastic retaining force for the locking block 3. Under the action of the locking elastic retaining force of the second elastic member 13, the other end of the pull rod 5 always presses against the outer side surface of the circumference of the eccentric wheel 6. The second elastic member 13 provides an elastic retaining force for the locking block 3, so that when locking, the eccentric wheel 6 can be easily rotated to drive the locking block 3 to move and lock.

[0034] Two first hinge columns 19 are provided in parallel and spaced apart at one end of the first frame connecting block 1, and two second hinge columns 20 are provided in parallel and spaced apart at one end of the second frame connecting block 2.

A hinge shaft 23 is axially stopped in the first hinge hole 21 and the second hinge hole 22. The eccentric wheel 6 is sleeved on the outside of the hinge shaft 23 between the two first hinge columns 19. The two side walls of the U-shaped pad 24 are tightly clamped between the eccentric wheel 6 and the first hinge column 19. The unlocking shaft holes 26 on the two side walls of the U-shaped pad 24 are loosely sleeved on the outside of the hinge shaft 23. The second hinge hole 22 on a second hinge column 20 on the second frame connecting block 2 is a recessed groove structure, and the second hinge hole 22 on the second hinge column 20 on the other second hinge column 20 is a perforated structure. A set screw 27 is movably screwed on the side wall of the second hinge hole 22 of the perforated structure, and the head of the set screw is tightly against the outer circumferential wall of the hinge shaft 23 to realize the stopping positioning of the second hinge hole 22 and the hinge shaft 23.

[0035] A folding receiving groove 28 is formed on one side of the second frame connecting block 2.
