Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of luggage and bag mounting systems for two-wheeled vehicles such as motorcycles and electric bicycles, specifically a connecting buffer module. Background Technology

[0002] As we all know, people often use side brackets to secure suitcases and travel bags to vehicles such as motorcycles and electric bicycles, providing more mounting space.

[0003] Currently, most mounting systems use rigid connections for the side brackets without any cushioning structure. This leads to the problem that when an accident occurs during riding, such as a crash or tipping over, the rigid connection between the side brackets and the vehicle body, lacking cushioning, can cause the side brackets to deform under stress. In severe cases, this can even cause the main frame of the vehicle to deform.

[0004] Therefore, to solve the above problems, a new technical solution that is simple in structure, stable and reliable, and has a better buffering effect is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a connecting buffer module, which solves the problem that existing side box brackets and motorcycle bodies are easily deformed when subjected to external forces due to rigid connections.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a connecting buffer module, including a connector, the two ends of which are respectively used to connect the vehicle body and the side box bracket, and the connector can spring back when subjected to the force of the side box bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the two ends of the connector are on different planes.

[0008] Preferably, a buffer portion is provided between the two ends of the connector to allow the two ends of the connector to be on different planes.

[0009] Preferably, the buffer portion is located on the connector and on the side away from the side box support.

[0010] Preferably, the cross-section of the connector in the non-buffered area is L-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the connector is connected to the vehicle body by screws.

[0012] Preferably, the connector is connected to the side box bracket via a buffer assembly, the buffer assembly including a first elastic cylinder and an assembly for mounting the first elastic cylinder on the connector, the side box bracket being sleeved on the first elastic cylinder.

[0013] Preferably, the assembly includes a threaded sleeve that can pass through the first elastic cylinder and a first screw that is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve. The threaded sleeve is interference-fitted with the first elastic cylinder, and the end away from the connector has a limiting cap with a diameter larger than that of the first elastic cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the connector used to connect the side box bracket is also provided with an auxiliary buffer for connecting the vehicle body. The auxiliary buffer includes a second elastic cylinder and a second screw for mounting the second elastic cylinder and the connector together on the vehicle body.

[0015] Preferably, the auxiliary buffer further includes a limiting sleeve, which is interference-fitted into the second elastic cylinder and has a limiting effect on the end of the second elastic cylinder. The second screw can be inserted into but cannot pass through the limiting sleeve.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a connection buffer module, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This connection buffer module creates an elastic connection between the side box bracket and the vehicle body that can recover its original shape when subjected to external forces. This prevents irreversible deformation of the vehicle body, side box bracket, and the rigid connection between the current bracket and the vehicle body. Even in extreme cases, it can provide a certain degree of protection for the vehicle body and side box bracket. Furthermore, it has a simple structure, low cost, and is very easy to install.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a connecting buffer module, including a connector 1, the two ends of the connector 1 being used to connect the vehicle body and the side box bracket respectively, and the connector 1 being able to spring back when subjected to the force of the side box bracket.

[0025] As an optional implementation of this utility model, those skilled in the art should understand that the deformation of the connector 1 under force is an elastic deformation. In addition, the connector 1 should also include an installation method that is parallel to the vehicle body and has a certain angle with the vehicle body. This allows the side box bracket to form a flexible connection with the vehicle body through the connector 1. When the side box bracket is subjected to external force, the connector 1 can restore its original shape. This prevents the side box bracket from directly applying energy to the vehicle body when subjected to external forces such as vibration, collision, or impact. It avoids irreversible deformation of the vehicle body, the side box bracket, and the rigid connection between the bracket and the vehicle body. Even in more extreme cases, it can play a certain role in protecting the vehicle body and the side box bracket.

[0026] In this embodiment, for ease of explanation, the end of the connector 1 used to connect to the vehicle body is marked as vehicle body connecting end 11, and the end of the connector 1 used to connect to the side box bracket is marked as side box bracket connecting end 12.

[0027] It should be understood that the specific embodiments of connector 1 described above are merely illustrative examples. In reality, the optional methods of connector 1 are not limited to the above methods, and may also include technical solutions subsequently added to connector 1. Preferably, when only connector 1 is used, connector 1 is preferably a metal part with a plate-like structure and excellent elasticity.

[0028] The above structure creates an elastic connection between the side box bracket and the vehicle body that can recover its original shape when subjected to external forces. This prevents irreversible deformation of the vehicle body, side box bracket, and the rigid connection between the current bracket and the vehicle body. Even in extreme cases, it can provide a certain degree of protection for the vehicle body and side box bracket. Furthermore, the structure is simple, inexpensive, and very easy to install.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, the two ends of connector 1 are on different planes.

[0030] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, it should be understood that the connector 1 itself can be bent, twisted, arc-shaped, or composed of two superimposed parts. Of course, the different planes at both ends of the connector 1 can be at any angle, and are not limited to the examples mentioned above. When the side box bracket is subjected to external force, it exerts a force on the connector 1, causing the connector 1 to undergo elastic deformation. This technical solution, where the two ends of the connector 1 are on different planes, allows the end of the connector 1 used to connect to the side box bracket to be further away from the vehicle body in the initial state. Compared to the structure where the entire connector 1 is a straight plate, this allows the connector 1 to have more deformation space. This greater deformation space makes it less likely for the end of the connector 1 used to connect to the side box bracket to contact the vehicle body, wheel hub, etc., when subjected to pressure in the direction of the vehicle body.

[0031] In this technical solution, there should be multiple ways to make the two ends of the connector 1 be in different planes. Without deviating from the concept of providing more deformation space, processes such as bending, integral molding, welding, and detachable connection should all be considered within the protection scope of this technical solution.

[0032] Therefore, the above structure provides more space for the deformation of the connector 1, making it less likely for the deformation of the connector 1 to directly collide with the vehicle body when the side box bracket is subjected to external force, thus improving the protective effect of the connector 1 on the vehicle body and the side box bracket.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a buffer portion 2 is provided between the two ends of the connector 1, which allows the two ends of the connector 1 to be on different planes.

[0034] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, when the connector 1 receives external force, the buffer part 2 is the most important deformation location on the connector 1. This ensures that when the connector 1 deforms, the fixed connection point between the vehicle body and the connector 1 does not undergo excessive deformation, thus affecting the connection strength and stability between the connector 1 and the vehicle body. It should be understood that, compared to the aforementioned connector 1, the design of the buffer part 2 is a key part that ensures that the two ends of the connector 1 are on different planes. Therefore, the specific form of the buffer part 2 should not be limited to an inclined plate structure, but can also be curved, arc-shaped, twisted, etc.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the buffer part 2 is located on the connector 1 and is away from the side box bracket.

[0036] As an optional implementation of this utility model, the connection points between the side box bracket and the motorcycle body are generally at least two: one is the upper part of the body (mainly the upper part of the rear in the market), and the other is the lower part of the body, usually near the rear wheel hub. This means that in actual implementation, the fixing point of the connector 1 in this technical solution is closer to the front of the motorcycle, and the fixing point of the connector 1 is closer to the rear of the motorcycle. When the side box bracket is subjected to external force, the deformation space required by the connector 1 is relatively large. Therefore, the buffer part 2, which is the main deformation part, is set closer to the front of the motorcycle. Similar to the principle that the door handle is easier to open the door the further away from the door hinge, the connector 1 has a larger lever arm, so the overall deformation of the connector 1 is also easier, which weakens the rigid connection effect of the side box bracket, the body, and the connector 1. This makes the fixed connection between the connector 1 and the body more stable, and makes the force effect of the side box bracket on the connector 1 more obvious, so the protection of the side box bracket is better.

[0037] In this technical solution, it should be understood that the position of the buffer part 2 on the connector 1 is not limited to a specific value. Those skilled in the art can change the size and position of the buffer part 2, but these changes do not deviate from the concept of this technical solution, and therefore should all fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the cross-section of the connector 1 in the non-buffered part 2 region is L-shaped.

[0039] As an optional implementation of this utility model, it is well known that L-shaped structures generally have higher shear strength, such as angle steel. In this technical solution, the area of ​​the non-buffered part 2 on the connector 1 is designed as an L-shaped structure in order to minimize the deformation of the connector 1 at the connection position with the side box bracket and the body. This ensures that the connection between the side box bracket, the body and the connector 1 is not affected by the deformation of the connector 1.

[0040] In this technical solution, the L-shaped area can be only at one end near the connector 1, or both ends can have an L-shaped shape. Those skilled in the art will not deviate from the protection scope of this technical solution in the specific setting of the L-shape. Furthermore, the L-shaped structure here can also be other shapes that improve the shear resistance of the structure, such as I-shaped structures, H-shaped structures, etc. These structures also include L-shaped structures, so they do not deviate from the protection scope of this technical solution.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, connector 1 is connected to the vehicle body via screw 3.

[0042] As an optional implementation of this utility model, the screw connection is a common detachable connection method, which makes the actual product constructed by this technical solution easy to implement and has good replaceability and maintainability.

[0043] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the connector 1 is connected to the side box bracket via the buffer assembly 4. The buffer assembly 4 includes a first elastic cylinder 41 and an assembly 42 for mounting the first elastic cylinder 41 on the connector 1. The side box bracket is sleeved on the first elastic cylinder 41.

[0044] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the first elastic cylinder 41 should be identified as a part made of elastic material, which may be a soft but highly elastic material such as rubber.

[0045] In this technical solution, when the side box support is subjected to a force, there is an elastic force between the side box support and the first elastic cylinder 41 on the inner side. This elastic force not only reduces the force on the side box support by the damping effect of the first elastic cylinder 41, thus providing a shock absorption function for the side box support, but also provides a shock absorption function in multiple directions due to the elasticity of the first elastic cylinder 41 itself.

[0046] Preferably, the length of the first elastic cylinder 41 is greater than the assembly length of the side box bracket fitted onto the first elastic cylinder 41 to ensure effective shock absorption. The assembly 42 is designed to accommodate first elastic cylinders 41 with different outer diameters, thereby adapting to elastic cylinders with different shock absorption effects.

[0047] It should be noted that the side box bracket and the first elastic cylinder 41 can be assembled via sleeve A, specifically, the side box bracket is fixedly connected to sleeve AA, which is fitted onto the first elastic cylinder 41. Sleeve AA can be included with the side box bracket itself, or it can be sold as a separate accessory in this technical solution. During user use, it can be welded, threaded, or connected to the side box bracket in other ways. Additionally, if... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The buffer assembly 4 can be installed on the connector 1 either on the side close to the vehicle body or on the outside of the vehicle body; neither of these deviates from the concept of this technical solution.

[0048] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the assembly 42 includes a threaded sleeve 421 that can pass through the first elastic cylinder 41 and a first screw 422 that is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve 421. The threaded sleeve 421 is interference-fitted with the first elastic cylinder 41, and the end away from the connector 1 has a limiting cap 421a with a diameter larger than that of the first elastic cylinder 41.

[0049] As an optional implementation of this utility model, when installing the first elastic cylinder 41, the threaded sleeve 421 is passed through the first elastic cylinder 41, the side box bracket is fitted with the first elastic cylinder 41, and then the first screw 422 is screwed into the threaded sleeve 421 from the other side of the connector 1 to complete the connection between the connector 1 and the side box bracket. It is very convenient to use. The interference fit makes the shock absorption effect better, and after the connection, it is not easy for the connector 1 to detach from the side box bracket, which has good connection stability.

[0050] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the connector 1 is also provided with an auxiliary buffer 5 for connecting the vehicle body at one end near the side box bracket. The auxiliary buffer 5 includes a second elastic cylinder 51 and a second screw 52 for mounting the second elastic cylinder 51 and the connector 1 together on the vehicle body.

[0051] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, the second elastic cylinder 51 should be similar to the first elastic cylinder 41, both being made of elastic materials. In this technical solution, the second elastic cylinder 51 is connected to both the connector 1 and the vehicle body. This allows the connector 1, which originally has a large lever arm, to be further damped by the second elastic cylinder 51 during deformation. Therefore, it can reduce the deformation space of the connector 1 to a certain extent, preventing the connector 1 from colliding with the vehicle body. This is especially suitable when there is limited space on the vehicle body for the connector 1 to be installed, thus preventing the connector 1 from entering the wheel hub and causing a serious safety accident.

[0052] The above structure not only further improves the shock absorption effect of the side box bracket when subjected to external force, but also prevents the connector 1 from being hit by the vehicle body in cases where there is insufficient installation space, thus improving safety without losing a relatively wide range of applications.

[0053] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the auxiliary buffer 5 also includes a limiting sleeve 53, which is interference-fitted into the second elastic cylinder 51 and has a limiting effect on the end of the second elastic cylinder 51. The second screw 52 can be inserted into but cannot pass through the limiting sleeve 53.

[0054] As an optional implementation of this utility model, when installing the auxiliary buffer 5, the limiting sleeve 53 is inserted into the second elastic cylinder 51, and then the second screw 52 is inserted into the limiting sleeve 53, the connecting piece 1 and the vehicle body in sequence to complete the assembly. It is very simple and convenient to operate during use.

[0055] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After the two ends of the connector 1 are assembled with the vehicle body and the side box bracket respectively, when encountering situations such as falling or tipping over during riding, causing the side box bracket to be impacted by external force, the connector 1 undergoes elastic deformation and can return to its original shape. This can prevent irreversible deformation of the vehicle body, the side box bracket, and the rigid connection between the current bracket and the vehicle body. Even in more extreme situations, it can play a certain role in protecting the vehicle body and the side box bracket. Moreover, the structure is simple, the cost is low, and the installation is very convenient.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that the motorcycles mentioned above are only for illustrative purposes, but this connection buffer module is not limited to the use of motorcycles. It should be understood that any scenario in which side boxes are installed on two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicles should be considered within the scope of protection of this technical solution.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
