[0024] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this application provides an electric bicycle with an easy-to-replace motor, including a frame 1, two wheels 2 rotatably mounted on the frame 1, a handlebar 3 movably connected to the frame 1, a fixed frame 4 fixedly mounted on the frame 1, a base 5 fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed frame 4, a first motor mount 7 and a second motor mount 8 slidably mounted inside the base 5, a motor connector 11 mounted on the base 5, a housing 6 rotatably connected to the top of the base 5, a guide plate 17 fixedly connected inside the base 5, two symmetrically arranged rotating rods 21 rotatably mounted inside the guide plate 17, both ends of the two rotating rods 21 are connected to a chain belt 20 through a sprocket, a guide rod 19 slidably mounted inside the guide plate 17, and two pull rods 23 fixedly connected to each of the two chain belts 20.

[0026] like Figure 1-6As shown, four slide rods 16 arranged in an array at equal intervals are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first motor base 7. The four slide rods 16 are slidably sleeved on the base plate 15. Two symmetrically arranged connecting plates 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the first motor base 7. The two ends of the guide plate 17 are fixedly connected to one side of the two connecting plates 18 respectively. The base plate 15 has a through hole that passes through itself. The two connecting plates 18 and the guide rods 19 all pass through the inside of the through hole.

[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the top of the pull rod 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second motor base 8 and the first motor base 7 respectively. The top of the first motor base 7 and the second motor base 8 are both fixedly installed with two symmetrically arranged side plates 12. Push rods are slidably installed inside the two side plates 12. One end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a push block 13, and the other end of the push rod is fixedly connected to a limit plate 9. One side of the push block 13 and one side of the side plate 12 are connected to a telescopic spring 14. The telescopic spring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the push rod. Two symmetrically arranged positioning plates 22 are fixedly installed on the base 5. One side of the positioning plate 22 is inclined. The base 5 has an installation groove. The first motor base 7, the second motor base 8 and the guide plate 17 are all located inside the installation groove. The guide plate 17 has a guide groove 10 inside. The guide rod 19 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 10.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the motor of the electric bicycle needs to be replaced, the built-in micro motor (model YH42BYGH47-401A) inside the base 5 is started first. The micro motor has a built-in power supply to drive its operation. After the micro motor is started, one of the rotating rods 21, which is coaxially fixedly connected through the coupling, rotates, thereby driving the two sprockets, the chain belt 20 and the other rotating rod 21 to rotate together. The pull rod 23 fixedly connected to the chain belt 20 also moves accordingly, and at the same time pulls the second motor seat 8 and the motor connected to it to slide away from the motor connector 11. At the same time, the first motor seat 7 also moves towards the motor connector 11 through the pull rod 23 connected between the bottom of the base 5 and the chain belt 20.

[0029] Furthermore, during the movement of the first motor base 7, the guide rod 19 is also driven to slide inside the guide groove 10. The guide groove 10 is designed as a three-section type, with the front and rear ends being horizontally opened and on the same horizontal line, and the middle section being an inverted trapezoidal opening. When the guide rod 19 slides to the middle section, it will slide downward first, and at the same time pull the connecting plate 18 fixedly connected to both ends of the guide rod 19 and the first motor base 7 to move downward together. At this time, the first motor base 7 is at the position where it intersects with the second motor base 8 vertically. At this time, the position of the second motor base 8 remains unchanged, and the first motor base 7 slides downward, thereby avoiding the collision between the top of the motor installed on the second motor base 8 and the bottom of the first motor base 7, thus preventing damage to the motor.

[0030] After the first motor mount 7 and the second motor mount 8 meet, the guide rod 19 moves to the rising part of the middle section, and the second motor mount 8 also returns to its original position and slides horizontally to one side of the motor connector 11 through the rear end until the motor connector 11 is fully connected to the motor connector 11, realizing convenient replacement of the motor and automatic docking of the spare motor, improving the applicability and convenience of the electric bicycle.

[0031] Furthermore, during the motor switching process, when the replaced motor moves to one side of the motor connector 11, the push blocks 13, which are movable on the left and right sides of the motor base, will contact and abut against the two positioning plates 22 respectively. The two positioning plates 22 will push the push blocks 13, and the push blocks 13 will simultaneously push the two limit plates 9 to slide through the push rod, thereby firmly clamping the motor and ensuring that the motor can reach the precise docking position when docking with the motor connector 11, thus playing a role in precise alignment. The two positioning plates 22 play a role in pre-positioning guidance, effectively avoiding the alignment deviation problem that may be caused by the motor connection and transportation on the motor base, thereby improving the stability and docking accuracy. The replaced motor can be taken out by the operator by turning and opening the outer casing 6.

[0032] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
