Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric bicycle frame technology, and more specifically, to an integrated frame structure for electric bicycles. Background Technology

[0002] The frame of an e-bike is the skeleton of the entire vehicle. It not only supports the rider's weight but also carries key components such as the battery and motor. The frame design directly affects the vehicle's stability, handling, and riding comfort. An e-bike frame typically consists of the following main parts: 1. Top tube: The main supporting component connecting the fork and seatpost, bearing the rider's weight and the impact force from the fork; 2. Down tube: The lateral support component connecting the fork and seatpost, increasing the frame's stability and rigidity; 3. Fork: The component connecting the frame to the front wheel, requiring sufficient rigidity and durability; 4. Seatpost: The tubular component connecting the frame to the seat, bearing the force from the rider's sitting posture; 5. Rear swingarm: The component connecting the frame to the rear wheel, supporting the rear wheel and transmitting power; 6. Center stand: Provides additional support to the frame, improving stability; 7. Side stand: Used to support the frame when parked; 8. Rear rack: Used for carrying items; 9. Handlebars: Control the vehicle's direction. The main functions of a bicycle frame include: support (bearing the rider's weight and external loads); load-bearing (supporting key components such as the battery and motor); connection (connecting various components into a whole); power transmission (transmitting the rider's power to the wheels); and stability (ensuring the vehicle's stability during riding). With the increasing popularity of electric-assist bicycles, the market has placed higher demands on their appearance design and riding experience.

[0003] In the existing technology, the existing electric-assist bicycle frames generally have problems such as complex external connections, exposed wiring harnesses, and heavy weight; therefore, we have made improvements to this by proposing an integrated frame structure for electric-assist bicycles.

[0046] The power motor 10 is a mid-mounted motor that is lightweight and powerful. It is embedded inside the frame to lower the center of gravity and improve stability.

[0047] The battery 3 is located inside the battery compartment 2, making it fully built-in, which is convenient for charging and does not affect the appearance of the frame 1, thus increasing the streamlined performance of the whole vehicle.

[0048] The interior of the chassis uses a dedicated wiring channel 8 to ensure the safe concealment of wiring 8 (electrical wires and other wiring harnesses) and avoid the influence of the external environment.

[0049] The outer end of the power motor 10 is provided with two sets of motor frames 4. The lower end of each set of motor frames 4 is provided with a positioning seat 5. The inner end of the positioning seat 5 is provided with a shock-absorbing ring 6. The inner end of the shock-absorbing ring 6 is provided with a positioning screw 7.

[0050] The shock-absorbing ring 6 facilitates the fixing of the motor frame 4 inside the motor compartment 9, and it can be stably fixed by the positioning screw 7.

[0051] The upper ends of the two sets of motor frames 4 are respectively provided with shock-absorbing plates 12, and the outer ends of the shock-absorbing plates 12 are provided with reinforcing ribs, which are fixed to the inner and outer ends of the frame body.

[0052] The damping plate 12 facilitates stable contact between the motor frame 4 and the motor housing 9, preventing vibration during vehicle operation and thus avoiding impact on the use of the power motor 10.

[0053] Reinforcing ribs are used to increase strength while ensuring lightweight properties.

[0054] The outer end of the battery 3 is connected to the charging port 13 via a cable 8. The battery 3 and the power motor 10 are connected via a cable 8, which is arranged at the inner end of the frame body.

[0057] The Power Motor 10 uses one of the world's lightest mid-drive motors, such as VAPOR, which makes it easy to keep the overall weight of the vehicle under 12KG. This greatly improves the riding experience, reduces the need for users to rely on electric assist due to the excessive weight of the bicycle frame, improves vehicle handling, and reduces physical exertion.

[0058] The control panel 11 is connected to the drive motor 10 and the internal wiring 8, which allows relevant internal information to be displayed through the control panel 11, improving the overall integration of the vehicle. It can also be associated with the built-in wiring 8, making it easy for the built-in wiring 8 to be hidden inside the frame body 1. Furthermore, the control panel 11 allows for quick understanding of the status of the internal wiring 8.

[0059] Battery 3 has a range of at least 130 kilometers, and fast charging time for charging port 13 is no more than 1.5 hours.

[0060] The frame design makes the riding experience similar to that of a regular road bike without electric assist, and with a range of 130 kilometers and a fast charging time of 1.5 hours, it effectively solves users' range anxiety.

[0061] Furthermore, the frame 1 is compatible with the configurations of high-end road bikes on the market, such as Shimano DURAACE, ULTEGRA components and ZIPP454 wheelsets, providing consumers with more choices and meeting the needs of different users.

[0062] The frame 1 is designed with ergonomic principles in mind, optimizing the rider's posture and improving comfort during long-distance riding.

[0063] When this application is used: the fast-charging battery 3, connected by the built-in stable wiring 8, is combined with the existing lightweight power motor 10, which can facilitate the improvement of riding stability of the electric-assist bicycle and reduce the riding obstruction caused by the heavy frame.

[0064] Through specially designed shock absorption devices and reinforced ribs, the frame strength and riding comfort are improved while maintaining a lightweight design;

[0065] Furthermore, the body structure uses carbon fiber as the main material and incorporates advanced aerodynamic design to create an ultra-lightweight body, whose streamlined shape can significantly reduce the drag coefficient.

[0066] Equipped with a high-definition touchscreen control panel 11, it displays key information such as battery level, speed, and remaining range in real time, and allows adjustment of the assistance level to adapt to different road conditions and personal preferences.
