[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-11As shown, this utility model provides the following technical solution to solve various problems of existing bicycle racks: a multifunctional bicycle rack, including a mounting base 1, a flip-connecting seat 3 mounted on the lower end of the mounting base 1, and at least one bicycle holder 4 mounted on the upper side of the mounting base 1. A warning light strip 5 is mounted on the lower side of the bicycle holder 4 located on the side of the mounting base 1 away from the flip-connecting seat 3. An inner cavity 12 is provided inside the mounting base 1, and a power connection component 2 communicating with the warning light strip 5 is provided within the inner cavity 12. The power connection component 2 extends from the end of the mounting base 1 and is electrically connected to the vehicle. An anti-theft lock seat 6 is installed at a position offset from the upper end of the bicycle mounting frame 4, and a lock bar 8 that matches the anti-theft lock seat 6 is also included. The first end of the lock bar 8 is an anti-theft pin, and the second end is provided with a through-ring 7. The first end of the lock bar 8 passes through the through-ring 7 and is inserted into the anti-theft lock seat 6. By setting the anti-theft lock seat 6 and the lock bar 8, multiple bicycles can be quickly locked without the need for additional locks, which is safe and convenient. The lower space of the bicycle mounting frame 4 is used to set the warning light strip 5, and the internal space of the mounting base 1 is used for wiring, so that the bicycle frame has a warning function for the bicycle behind, which improves the safety of the bicycle frame without affecting the normal rotation of the bicycle frame.
[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, two bicycle racks 4 can be installed side by side on the upper side of the mounting base 1, while the warning light strip 5 is installed on the lower side of the rear bicycle rack 4. The warning light strip 5 and the bicycle rack 4 can be installed in a detachable manner, or the light body of the warning light strip 5 can be embedded in the bicycle rack 4. The warning light strip 5 is connected to the ECU system of the car through the power connection component 2, and can work synchronously with the taillights of the car. For example, when the driving lights and brake lights are on, the warning light strip 5 will also light up.
[0033] The anti-theft lock seat 6 can be installed on the mounting base 1 between two bicycle racks 4. The lock bar 8 is an independent steel wire lock bar with an outer sheath. One end of its anti-theft pin is the same as the pin of existing locks, and the other end has a through-ring 7 for the lock bar 8 to pass through. In use, the bicycle is fixed to the bicycle rack 4, and then the lock bar 8 passes through the bicycle wheel or frame. After passing through, the first end of the lock bar 8 passes through the through-ring 7 to form a loop. The bicycle is then positioned inside the loop. The anti-theft pin is then inserted into the anti-theft lock seat 6 to lock it in place. It is very convenient. If there are many bicycles, the lock bar 8 can be passed through multiple bicycles at the same time. Bicycles or other items next to the bicycle rack can also be locked with the lock bar 8. When not in use, the lock bar 8 can be easily stored away.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, there are two warning light strips 5 on the lower side of the bicycle mounting bracket 4, which are installed on both sides of the mounting base 1 respectively, to facilitate wiring of the warning light strips 5 and avoid interference of the mounting base 1 with the warning light strips 5.
[0035] like Figure 3-4 As shown, one end of the warning light strip 5 is provided with a first power plug 14 that extends into the inner cavity 12. The first power plug 14 is used to connect and fix with the second power plug 25 on the power connection component 2. The wiring is concealed, which can fix and protect the first power plug 14 and the second power plug 25, and also facilitates wiring. The first power plug 14 can be installed on the top of the inner cavity 12 by a fixing block 13. The first power plug 14 is set close to the mounting base 1 for easy wiring. The first power plug 14 and the second power plug 25 use conventional standard electrical connection plugs, which will not be described in detail here.
[0036] As a specific implementation of mounting base 1, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the mounting base 1 has a detachable first end cap 11 and a second end cap 15 at both ends. The second end cap 15 has at least one detachable sealing cap 16. The power connection component 2 passes through the sealing cap 16. The detachability of the first end cap 11 and the second end cap 15 facilitates wiring of the power connection component 2. At the same time, the sealing cap 16 is waterproof and prevents external water from entering the inner cavity 12. The sealing cap 16 can be made of silicone material, which can play a sealing role when the power connection component 2 passes through it.
[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 11 As shown, the power connection assembly 2 includes a power signal plug 21 for connecting to the vehicle. The power signal plug 21 is connected to a splitter 23 via a main line 22. The splitter 23 is provided with two branch lines 26. The branch lines 26 pass through the corresponding sealing caps 16 and are connected to a second power plug 25 at their ends. The power signal plug 21 can connect to the vehicle for both power and signal, and can be used with the vehicle's control system to control the operation of the warning light strip 5. Both the splitter 23 and the main line 22 are exposed and waterproof. In use, the sealing caps 16 are first placed over the two branch lines 26, and then the two branch lines 26 are inserted into the inner cavity 12 to connect the first power plug 14 and the second power plug 25. Installation is very convenient.
[0038] When the mounting base 1 is flipped, the power connection component 2 will not interfere with the mounting base 1.
[0039] In this embodiment, as Figure 7As shown, the warning light strip 5 includes a light strip housing 51 and a lampshade 53 disposed on one side of the light strip housing 51. At least one LED light panel 52 is disposed between the light strip housing 51 and the lampshade 53 along the length of the warning light strip 5. The lampshade 53 can protect the LED light panel 52. Multiple LED light panels 52 can be disposed inside the light strip housing 51, which facilitates the setting of LED light panels 52 of different colors to emit warning lights of different colors. The light strip housing 51 and the lampshade 53 form a long strip light body with a square cross-section. The LED light panels 52 are disposed along the diagonal of the long strip light body, so that the illumination range is relatively large and will not be blocked by the bicycle mounting bracket 4. A space can be formed between the light strip housing 51 and the LED light panels 52 to facilitate the laying of power cords.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 8-10 As shown, the anti-theft lock base 6 includes a base body 61 connected to the top of the mounting base 1. A lock cylinder 63 and a pin insertion cavity 66 are arranged side-by-side inside the base body 61. A lock rod slot 69 is provided on one side wall of the pin insertion cavity 66. One end of the lock cylinder 63 is connected to a lock rod 62 to drive the lock rod 62 to rotate and engage with or disengage from the lock rod slot 69. Inserting a key into the lock cylinder 63 causes it to rotate, which in turn drives the lock rod 62 to rotate. When the lock rod 62 engages with the lock rod slot 69, it can lock the anti-theft pin inserted into the pin insertion cavity 66, thus achieving locking. The lock cylinder 63 is existing technology and can be purchased from the market. During installation, the lock rod 62 is first inserted into the base body 61 from the side, and then the lock cylinder 63 is installed. Assembly is convenient. The main body of the anti-theft lock base 6 is located within the inner cavity 12, making reasonable use of the space of the mounting base 1.
[0041] In some embodiments, one end of the lock cylinder 63 is provided with an anti-rotation insert 68. The anti-rotation insert 68 is inserted into the anti-rotation slot on the upper side of the lock rod 62. The anti-rotation insert 68 is easy to connect with the lock rod 62 without the need for a fixed connection structure, and the assembly is relatively simple. The anti-rotation insert 68 is a non-circular structure, such as square or rectangular. When installing the lock cylinder 63, the anti-rotation insert 68 is connected to the lock cylinder 63 and then inserted into the lock rod 62, which is very convenient.
[0042] In this embodiment, as Figure 9 As shown, the bottom of the base 61 is embedded with a bottom insert 65 coaxial with the lock cylinder 63. The upper part of the bottom insert 65 is provided with a boss shaft 651 embedded in the lower side of the lock rod 62. The bottom insert 65 can guide the rotation of the lock rod 62 through the boss shaft 651. When the lock rod 62 is installed, the lock rod 62 can be limited from the top and bottom sides by the anti-rotation insert 68 and the bottom insert 65.
[0043] In this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the anti-theft lock base 6, a panel 67 is provided at the upper end of the base body 61. The panel 67 is located on the outer side of the upper surface of the mounting base 1. A clamping plate 64 is connected to the lower side of the panel 67 by screws. The clamping plate 64 and the panel 67 clamp the top plate of the mounting base 1. During installation, the base body 61 is inserted into the top plate of the mounting base 1 from top to bottom. The anti-theft lock base 6 can be locked and fixed by rotating the screws.
[0044] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
