DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The following will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-4 The application is further described in detail.

[0032] With reference to Figure 1 , the application discloses a bicycle bracket structure, which comprises a tail rod 1 connected to the tail of a car, a cross beam 2 connected to the tail rod 1, and a fixing device 3 arranged on the cross beam 2 for fixing a bicycle. In the application, three cross beams 2 are arranged side by side, and the bottoms of the three cross beams 2 are connected to the tail rod 1 through connecting rods 21. Each cross beam 2 can accommodate one bicycle.

[0033] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the fixing device 3 comprises a wheel seat 5 for positioning a wheel and a body rod 8 for positioning a body. The wheel seat 5 is arranged at two ends of the length direction of the cross beam 2 to position two wheels of the bicycle. The cross beam 2 is provided with a vertical rod 6, and the body rod 8 is arranged on the vertical rod 6 through a sliding sleeve 7. The sliding sleeve 7 and the vertical rod 6 are in sliding fit, and the lock 4 is arranged between the sliding sleeve 7 and the vertical rod 6. The sliding sleeve 7 and the vertical rod 6 are locked by the lock 4 and cannot be unlocked, and the lock 4 can be opened only by a corresponding key. In the application, the key is a key, and in other embodiments, the key includes but is not limited to card swiping, password, fingerprint, face recognition, iris, etc.

[0034] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the vertical rod 6 is provided with a tooth groove 61 along the length direction, and the sliding sleeve 7 is connected with a lock knob 9. The lock knob 9 has a lock tooth 91 matched with the tooth groove 61. When the lock tooth 91 is clamped into the tooth groove 61, the sliding sleeve 7 can be fixed on the vertical rod 6. When the lock tooth 91 is not clamped into the tooth groove 61, the sliding sleeve 7 can slide on the vertical rod 6 to adjust the position of the body rod 8.

[0035] With reference to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The sliding sleeve 7 is provided with a mounting groove 71 for mounting the lock knob 9. The lock knob 9 is rotatably arranged in the mounting groove 71 through a rotating shaft 93. The lock tooth 91 is arranged at one end of the lock knob 9. The pressing portion 92 of the lock knob 9 away from the lock tooth 91. There is a certain space between the bottom of the pressing portion 92 and the groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 71. The rotating point of the lock knob 9 is between the pressing portion 92 and the lock tooth 91. The groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 71 is provided with a gap 711 for the lock tooth 91 to pass through. After the lock tooth 91 passes through the gap 711, the lock tooth 91 can cooperate with the tooth groove 61 to achieve locking. The lock tooth 91 can be separated from the tooth groove 61 by pressing the pressing portion 92.

[0036] With reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The lock 4 is arranged at the position of the pressing portion 92 of the lock knob 9. When the lock 4 is locked, the lock knob 9 cannot control the lock tooth 91 to separate from the tooth groove 61. The lock 4 includes a lock cylinder 41. The lock cylinder 41 has an unlocked state and a locked state. In the unlocked state, the lock knob 9 can control the lock tooth 91 to move. In the locked state, the lock knob 9 cannot control the lock tooth 91 to move. The key controls the switch between the unlocked state and the locked state of the lock 4.

[0037] Specifically, the mounting groove 71 is provided with an opening 712 on the groove bottom surface at the corresponding position of the lock cylinder 41. The lock cylinder 41 can be aligned with the opening 712 to move through the opening 712. The end of the lock cylinder 41 protrudes from the bottom of the lock knob 9 and abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 71. The end of the lock cylinder 41 is in a waist-shaped structure. The opening 712 corresponding to the lock cylinder 41 is also a waist-shaped hole. The end of the lock cylinder 41 can be aligned with or not completely aligned with the opening 712 by rotating the lock cylinder 41 controlled by the key. When the lock cylinder 41 is completely aligned with the opening 712, the end of the lock cylinder 41 can continue to move through the port. When the lock cylinder 41 is not completely aligned with the opening 712, the end of the lock cylinder 41 abuts against the groove bottom surface of the mounting groove 71 and cannot continue to move. The lock tooth 91 is in a cooperating state with the tooth groove 61. At this time, the rotation of the lock knob 9 is limited, and the lock tooth 91 cannot be pulled out of the tooth groove 61. The stability is stronger.

[0038] In addition, it should be noted that since the lock cylinder 41 is arranged on the lock knob 9, the movement path of the lock knob 9 is an arc path with the rotating shaft 93 as the center. In order to facilitate the end of the lock cylinder 41 to enter the opening 712, the end of the lock cylinder 41 has an arc surface, and the area of the opening 712 is slightly larger than the cross section of the lock cylinder 41.

[0039] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4Further, the sliding sleeve 7 is further connected with a positioning screw 72 for position fixing. Specifically, the sliding sleeve 7 is provided with a positioning hole 74 on one side, the positioning hole 74 is located on the side of the vertical rod 6 without the tooth groove 61, and the sliding sleeve 7 is connected with a positioning seat 73 for screwing the positioning screw 72, the positioning seat 73 is fixedly connected with the sliding sleeve 7, and the screw hole 75 for screwing the positioning screw 72 on the positioning seat 73 is aligned with the positioning hole 74. The sliding sleeve 7 can also be positioned by the positioning screw 72 when the lock 4 is not used.

[0040] The implementation principle of the bicycle bracket structure in the embodiment of the application is as follows:

[0041] By setting the corresponding lock 4 on the sliding sleeve 7, when the lock 4 is in the locked state, the lock teeth 91 on the lock knob 9 are in cooperation with the tooth groove 61 on the vertical rod 6, at this time, the sliding sleeve 7 cannot be moved, and the sliding sleeve 7 can be moved only after the lock knob 9 is unlocked by the key, so that the anti-theft effect can be achieved.

[0042] Generally, the cooperation mode of the lock teeth 91 and the tooth groove 61 may appear forced pulling off phenomenon, and there is a certain risk of theft. The bracket structure in the embodiment of the application cooperates the lock 4 with the lock knob 9, directly clamps the lock knob 9 in the locked state, so that the lock knob 9 cannot be moved, and the risk of forced pulling off can be effectively avoided.

[0043] The above are the preferred embodiments of the application, and do not limit the protection scope of the application, so that: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the application should be covered in the protection scope of the application.
