Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle frame storage equipment, and specifically discloses a bicycle frame storage device. Background Technology

[0002] The bicycle frame is the skeleton and main body of the bicycle. Other parts of the bicycle are directly or indirectly mounted on the frame. As the skeleton of the bicycle, the frame determines and affects the riding comfort to the greatest extent. Bicycle frames are mainly classified into the following types: road bicycle frames, mountain bicycle frames, hybrid bicycle frames, and downhill bicycle frames. During the bicycle frame production process, bicycle frames are usually stored on frame storage devices.

[0003] Chinese patent CN216360104U discloses a bicycle frame storage rack, relating to the field of bicycle frame storage technology. This utility model includes a rectangular base with multiple rectangular legs fixed to its lower end. A rectangular support rod is slidably connected inside the rectangular base, and a fixing mechanism is installed at the upper end of the rectangular support rod. The fixing mechanism is used to fix the bicycle frame and includes a first motor, a first spur gear, two second spur gears, two screws, a rectangular moving plate, two circular sliding rods, a rectangular clamping plate, two springs, two circular fixing blocks, and an L-shaped clamping plate. This utility model, through its structural design of a fixing mechanism, can effectively secure bicycle frames, improving the stability of bicycle frame fixation and reducing safety hazards. The interaction of a worm gear, worm wheel, third spur gear, and rack allows for effective height adjustment, thus adapting to bicycle frames of different sizes and reducing limitations in use. However, the mechanism for fixing the frame in the aforementioned storage rack is complex, inconvenient to assemble and maintain, and the position adjustment and fixing of the storage rack are also inconvenient. When the position of the storage rack and bicycle frame needs to be adjusted, workers must manually move them or use additional handling equipment, which is quite inconvenient. Furthermore, the aforementioned storage rack can only hold one bicycle frame; when storing a large number of bicycle frames, multiple storage racks are required, which is not conducive to saving storage rack costs. Therefore, to solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a bicycle frame storage device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide a bicycle frame storage device for fixing bicycle frames. The device has a simple structure, is easy to assemble and maintain, and is convenient to adjust and fix in position. It facilitates the transfer of bicycle frames, saves workers the effort of moving the storage device and bicycle frames, and can store multiple bicycle frames at the same time, thus helping to save on the cost of bicycle frame storage devices.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A bicycle frame storage device includes a support mechanism and a frame mounting mechanism. Multiple frame mounting mechanisms are disposed below the support mechanism. The support mechanism includes a bracket, with omnidirectional brake wheels connected to the four lower corners of the bracket. A first sliding groove is provided on one side of the top of the bracket, and a second sliding groove perpendicular to the first sliding groove is connected to the middle of the first sliding groove. The frame mounting mechanism includes an S-shaped support plate and side plates. Two side plates are symmetrically connected to the upper part of the lower end of the S-shaped support plate. Clamping plates are connected to opposite sides of the two side plates via multiple first springs. Mounting plates are provided at both ends of the upper part of the two side plates. A telescopic rod is connected to the upper end of the S-shaped support plate, and a slider is connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod. The slider is slidably connected to both the first and second sliding grooves.

[0007] As a further feature of the above solution, the first slide groove and the second slide groove are internally connected, facilitating the flexible movement of the slider between the first and second slide grooves. Two insertion holes are symmetrically arranged on the top of the bracket near the first slide groove, and two U-shaped limiting plates are arranged on the side of the bracket near the insertion holes. One side of the U-shaped limiting plate is inserted into the insertion hole, which allows the two U-shaped limiting plates to restrict the position of the slider located at the junction of the first and second slide grooves after the bicycle frame is placed, keeping the slider and the components connected below it stable, thereby preventing the bicycle frame from shaking during storage and transportation. A first handle is provided on the front side of the U-shaped limiting plate for easy handling by workers.

[0008] As a further feature of the above solution, a second handle is provided on the front side of the S-shaped support plate for workers to grip when adjusting the position of the frame mounting mechanism. The side plate is detachably connected to the S-shaped support plate at its bottom for easy installation and maintenance. Two first limiting holes are symmetrically arranged inside the side plate. Two first limiting rods are symmetrically connected to the side of the clamping plate near the first limiting holes. The two first limiting rods pass through the interior of the two first limiting holes and are slidably connected to the first limiting holes, which can restrict the movement direction of the clamping plate. A first elastic pad is provided on the side of the clamping plate away from the side plate, which allows the bicycle frame to compress the first elastic pad, causing reversible deformation of the first elastic pad, increasing the contact area between the first elastic pad and the bicycle frame, and ensuring the fixing effect on the bicycle frame.

[0009] As a further feature of the above solution, slots are provided at both ends of the upper side plate, and insert rods are provided at both ends of the mounting plate. The insert rods are inserted into the slots to facilitate the connection and separation of the mounting plate from the two side plates. A second limiting hole is provided in the middle of the mounting plate, and a pressure plate is provided in the lower middle of the mounting plate. A second elastic pad is provided below the pressure plate to limit the position of the bicycle frame from above.

[0010] As a further feature of the above solution, a second limiting rod is connected to the middle of the side of the pressure plate near the mounting plate. A second spring is provided on the outer side of the second limiting rod. The two ends of the second spring are respectively connected to the pressure plate and the mounting plate. The second limiting rod passes through the interior of the second limiting hole and is slidably connected to the second limiting hole. This allows the top tube of the bicycle frame to be fixed from above the bicycle frame in the cavity formed by the S-shaped support plate, the second elastic pad, and the two first elastic pads. Two third handles are symmetrically provided above the mounting plate to facilitate workers to grip the mounting plate and the components connected below it when taking them out.

[0011] As a further feature of the above solution, a controller is provided on one side of the bracket to facilitate the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod in the device, thereby adjusting the distance of the S-shaped support plate from the ground and making the frame mounting mechanism suitable for fixing various types of bicycle frames.

[0012] The present invention has the following beneficial effects during use:

[0013] The design of four omnidirectional brake wheels in the support mechanism facilitates the adjustment and fixing of the storage device and bicycle frame, saving workers' effort. The vertical combination design of the first and second slides allows the slider in the frame mounting mechanism to slide flexibly between the first and second slides, so that multiple frame mounting mechanisms with bicycle frames can be arranged longitudinally along the second slide, enabling the same storage device to store multiple bicycle frames at the same time, saving the cost of the frame storage device.

[0014] The combination of the U-shaped limiting block and the insertion hole allows the two U-shaped limiting plates to restrict the position of the slider located at the junction of the first and second slide grooves after the bicycle frame has been placed. This keeps the slider and the components connected below it stable, thus preventing the bicycle frame from shaking during storage and transportation.

[0015] The use of the S-shaped support plate in the frame mounting mechanism can avoid conflict between the installation position of the telescopic rod and the placement of the bicycle frame. The combination of two clamps and multiple first springs can initially fix the top tube of the bicycle frame. The combination of the mounting plate, pressure plate and second spring can restrict the position of the bicycle frame from above the top tube of the bicycle frame, preventing the bicycle frame from falling off the frame mounting mechanism during transportation and storage.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The following will refer to the appendix... Figures 1-6 This application will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments.

[0026] An embodiment discloses a bicycle frame storage device, including a support mechanism 1 and a frame placement mechanism 2. Multiple frame placement mechanisms 2 are arranged below the support mechanism 1. The support mechanism 1 includes a bracket 11, with omnidirectional brake wheels 12 connected to the four lower corners of the bracket 11. A first sliding groove 111 is provided on one side of the top of the bracket 11, and a second sliding groove 112 perpendicular to the first sliding groove 111 is connected to the middle of the first sliding groove 111. The frame placement mechanism 2 includes an S-shaped support plate 21 and side plates 22. Two side plates 22 are symmetrically connected to the upper part of the lower end of the S-shaped support plate 21. Each of the two side plates 22 has a clamping plate 23 connected to its opposite side via multiple first springs 25. Mounting plates 26 are provided at both ends of the upper part of each of the two side plates 22. A telescopic rod 28 is connected to the upper end of the S-shaped support plate 21, and a slider 29 is connected to the upper end of the telescopic rod 28. The slider 29 is slidably connected to both the first sliding groove 111 and the second sliding groove 112.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112 are internally connected, which facilitates the flexible movement of the slider 29 between the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112. Two insertion holes 113 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the bracket 11 near the first slide groove 111. Two U-shaped limiting plates 13 are arranged on the side of the bracket 11 near the insertion holes 113. One side of the U-shaped limiting plate 13 is inserted into the insertion hole 113. After the bicycle frame is placed, the two U-shaped limiting plates 13 can be used to restrict the position of the slider 29 located at the junction of the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112, so that the slider 29 and the components connected below it remain stable, thereby preventing the bicycle frame from shaking during storage and transportation. A first handle 131 is provided on the front side of the U-shaped limiting plate 13, which makes it convenient for workers to pick up and put down the U-shaped limiting plate 13.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a second handle 211 is provided on the front side of the S-shaped support plate 21, which is convenient for workers to grip when adjusting the position of the frame mounting mechanism 2. The side plate 22 is detachably connected to the S-shaped support plate 21 at the bottom, which is convenient for the installation and maintenance of the side plate 22. Two first limiting holes 222 are symmetrically arranged inside the side plate 22. Two first limiting rods 24 are symmetrically connected on the side of the clamping plate 23 near the first limiting holes 222. The two first limiting rods 24 shown pass through the two first limiting holes 222 respectively and are slidably connected to the first limiting holes 222, which can restrict the movement direction of the clamping plate 23. A first elastic pad 231 is provided on the side of the clamping plate 23 away from the side plate 22, which can make the bicycle frame squeeze the first elastic pad 231 to cause the first elastic pad 231 to undergo reversible deformation, increase the contact area between the first elastic pad 231 and the bicycle frame, and ensure the fixing effect of the bicycle frame.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, slots 221 are provided at both ends of the upper part of the side plate 22, and insert rods 261 are provided at both ends of the mounting plate 26. The insert rods 261 are inserted into the slots 221, which facilitates the connection and separation of the mounting plate 26 and the two side plates 22. A second limiting hole 263 is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 26, and a pressure plate 27 is provided in the lower middle of the mounting plate 26. A second elastic pad 271 is provided below the pressure plate 27, which can limit the position of the bicycle frame from above.

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a second limiting rod 272 is connected to the middle of the side of the pressure plate 27 near the mounting plate 26. A second spring 273 is provided on the outer side of the second limiting rod 272. The two ends of the second spring 273 are respectively connected to the pressure plate 27 and the mounting plate 26. The second limiting rod 272 passes through the interior of the second limiting hole 263 and is slidably connected to the second limiting hole 263. It can fix the top tube of the bicycle frame in the cavity formed by the S-shaped support plate 21, the second elastic pad 271 and the two first elastic pads 231 from above the bicycle frame. Two third handles 262 are symmetrically arranged on the upper part of the mounting plate 26 to facilitate workers to grip when picking up and putting down the mounting plate 26 and the components connected below it.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a controller 3 is provided on one side of the bracket 11 to facilitate the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 28 in the device, so as to adjust the distance of the S-shaped support plate 21 from the ground, making the frame mounting mechanism 2 suitable for fixing various types of bicycle frames.

[0032] The bicycle frame storage device disclosed in this embodiment, before use, involves sequentially grasping the first handle 131 at one end of each of the two U-shaped limiting plates 13 to pull the two U-shaped limiting plates 13 out of the two insertion holes 113 respectively. Then, sequentially grasping the second handle 211 in the multiple frame mounting mechanisms 2, the slider 29 is driven to slide in the second slide groove 112 towards the first slide groove 111. When it slides to the boundary with the first slide groove 111, the slider 29 is transferred from the second slide groove 112 to the first slide groove 111, and then the slider 29 is slid sequentially towards both ends of the first slide groove 111. During the sliding process, the slider 29 drives the telescopic rod 28 and the S-shaped support plate 21 below it. Move the components synchronously until the slider 29 furthest from the first slide groove 111 and the component connected below it are moved to the junction of the first slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112. Grasp the third handle 262 above the two mounting plates 26 in the frame mounting mechanism 2 at the junction in sequence, pull the mounting plate 26 upward, and completely pull the plug 261 out of the slot 221. Place the mounting plate 26 and its connecting components aside, pick up the bicycle frame, and use the controller 3 to control the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod 28 according to the size of the bicycle frame to adjust the distance between the S-shaped support plate 21 and the ground, so as to ensure that the bicycle frame is not in contact with the ground after being placed on the frame mounting mechanism 2.

[0033] The top tube of the bicycle frame is placed between the two first elastic pads 231, so that the top tube contacts the S-shaped support plate 21. The top tube presses the first elastic pads 231 and the clamping plate 23 to both sides, causing the first spring 25 to deform. The first limiting rod 24 slides in the first limiting hole 222. Under the rebound of the spring, it presses the clamping plate 23 and the top tube in the opposite direction, clamping the top tube and initially restricting its position. The two mounting plates 26 are then reset, restoring the connection between the insert rod 261 and the slot 221, so that the top tube and the... The upper contact of the second elastic pad 271 with the compression elastic pad and the second limiting rod 272 causes the second limiting rod 272 to slide in the second limiting hole 263, causing the second spring 273 to deform and press the upper tube in the opposite direction, thus limiting the position of the upper tube from above. At this point, the bicycle frame is installed. Then, grasp the second handle 211 and push the frame installation mechanism 2 towards the second slide groove 112 away from the first slide groove 111, causing the slider 29 to slide in the second slide groove 112 until it slides... Move the slider 29, which is near the junction of the first and second slide grooves 111, to the junction of the second slide groove 111 and the second slide groove 112. Repeat the above operation. After placing the bicycle frame on the frame mounting mechanism 2, slide the slider 29 along the second slide groove 112. Move the frame mounting mechanism 2 to a position away from the first slide groove 111. Repeat the above operation until the last slider 29 in the first slide groove 111 is transferred to the junction of the first and second slide grooves 111 and the second slide groove 112. Reset the two U-shaped limiting plates 13 and restore the insertion of the U-shaped limiting plates 13 into the socket 113. This restricts the position of the slider 29 and its lower components at the junction. Place the bicycle frame on the frame mounting mechanism 2 and fix it with the mounting plate 26 and the pressure plate 27. Then release the brake of the universal brake wheel 12 and transfer the storage device containing multiple bicycle frames to the bicycle frame storage point for storage.

[0034] During the installation of the bicycle frame, the slider 29 can be moved into the second slide groove 112 before the bicycle frame is placed and fixed, so as to avoid the bicycle frame from interfering with the position of the frame mounting mechanism 2 below the first slide groove 111.

[0035] The components disclosed in this utility model, including the controller 3, bracket 11, first slide groove 111, second slide groove 112, universal brake wheel 12, side plate 22, clamping plate 23, first elastic pad 231, first spring 25, mounting plate 26, insert rod 261, third handle 262, second elastic pad 271; second spring 273, telescopic rod 28, slider 29, etc., are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
