Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories, in particular to a battery installation structure mainly used for electric bicycles. Background Art
[0002] Current electric bicycles are prone to damage. Battery removal and installation are inconvenient during maintenance, and parts like the controller are prone to damage, resulting in high repair costs. This is primarily due to the top-access battery installation structure used in conventional electric bicycles. This makes it difficult to remove or install the battery from the bottom up or from the top down when there's insufficient overhead space, such as when blocked by a crossbar. Some electric bicycles use a side-access installation, but these batteries are typically exposed, resulting in poor waterproofing and anti-theft performance. Others use an internal installation structure, which offers the advantage of concealed batteries and improved waterproofing and anti-theft performance. However, current internal installations also present several issues. For example, the need for a clearance for battery removal requires staggering the down tube and the bottom bracket bracket to facilitate battery removal. Conventional methods typically involve welding a separate section of the chassis to the bottom of the down tube for mounting the bottom bracket bracket, resulting in a complex structure and cumbersome manufacturing process, which also detracts from the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Furthermore, with the battery located above and the controller below, battery maintenance requires removing the controller before removing the battery, significantly inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the defects in the prior art, the utility model provides a built-in bottom-draw battery installation structure with a simpler structure, a more reasonable design, a simpler manufacturing process, and more convenient maintenance and repair operations.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a built-in bottom-pull battery mounting structure, comprising a lower tube and a controller, a mounting cavity with an opening at the bottom end being provided in the lower tube, and the battery being installed in the mounting cavity, characterized in that: the lower portion of the lower tube is tilted relative to the opening of the mounting cavity to form a curved portion, and the curved portion and the opening of the mounting cavity are staggered with each other; the five-way tube of the frame is provided on the curved portion, and the five-way tube forms an integral structure with the curved portion and the lower tube; a rotatable bottom cover is connected to the bottom end of the curved portion, and the controller is installed inside the bottom cover, and the bottom cover covers the bottom end of the battery after being closed and locked to the lower tube.
[0005] Furthermore, a hinge seat is provided at the bottom end of the bent portion, and the tail end of the bottom cover has a hinge arm to form a fixed end. The hinge arm is hingedly assembled with the hinge seat by hinge screws to form a hanging rotatable structure, which is very convenient to open and close.
[0006] Furthermore, the controller is installed and fixed against the inner bottom surface of the bottom cover, and when the bottom cover is closed, the controller is located below the bottom end of the battery.
[0007] Furthermore, a protruding fixing ear is provided at the free end of the bottom cover, and after the bottom cover is closed, a fixing screw passes through the fixing ear and is locked and fixed to the lower tube.
[0008] Furthermore, a charging base is provided on the side of the curved portion, and the charging base is connected to the controller for charging the battery.
[0009] Furthermore, a lock core is provided at the bottom end of the battery, which is locked and fixed to the lower tube. When the key is released, the battery will pop out.
[0010] Preferably, the bent portion is bent upward or in an approximately horizontal posture relative to the opening of the installation cavity.
[0011] Preferably, the curved portion is arc-shaped, and the bottom cover is also an arc-shaped curved structure.
[0012] This utility model bends the lower end of the downtube into a curved portion, offsetting the lower end from the main body of the downtube to facilitate battery installation and removal. The frame bottom bracket can be directly positioned within the curved portion, forming an integrated structure with the downtube. This not only simplifies the structure and manufacturing process, but also enhances the appearance. Furthermore, by locating the controller within the bottom cover, the controller moves away from the battery when the bottom cover is opened, allowing direct removal of the battery without having to disassemble the controller, making repair and maintenance more convenient.
