[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0024] The frame structure of the folding bike includes a front support 1 and a rear support 2. A base frame 3 and two side frames 4 are provided between the front support 1 and the rear support 2. A telescopic handle 5 is provided on the front support 1 to facilitate the user to pull or push the folding bike. The telescopic handle 5 is detachable for easy storage.
[0025] A front wheel 6 is mounted on the front bracket 1 and is detachably connected to the front bracket 1. Furthermore, a connecting sleeve 11 is mounted at the bottom of the front bracket 1, and a rod 61 is mounted on the front wheel 6. A retaining sleeve 12 is mounted at the top of the connecting sleeve 11, and a retaining spring is mounted on the retaining sleeve 12. After the rod 61 is inserted from the bottom of the connecting sleeve 11 into the retaining sleeve 12, the retaining spring is engaged at the top of the rod 61. When the front wheel 6 needs to be removed, the retaining spring is removed, and the rod 61 can be taken out of the connecting sleeve 11, thus removing the front wheel 6.
[0026] The rear bracket 2 is equipped with a rear wheel 7, which is detachably connected to the rear bracket 2. Furthermore, the rear bracket 2 is equipped with a clamping sleeve 21, and the rear wheel 7 is equipped with a clamping rod 71. After the clamping rod 71 is inserted from the bottom of the clamping sleeve 21, the top of the clamping rod 71 is tightly pressed against the top of the clamping sleeve 21. When the rear wheel 7 needs to be removed, the clamping rod 71 can be pulled out from the clamping sleeve 21.
[0027] The side frame 4 includes three sets of "X"-shaped folding brackets 41, with adjacent folding brackets 41 rotatably connected. Furthermore, each folding bracket 41 includes two intersecting straight rods 42, with the intersection of the two straight rods 42 serving as the axis of rotation.
[0028] The folding brackets 41 located on both sides are rotatably connected to the front bracket 1 and the rear bracket 2 respectively. A connecting rod 43 is provided between the folding brackets 41 on both sides and the front bracket 1 and the rear bracket 2. One end of the connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to the front bracket 1 or the rear bracket 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 43 is rotatably connected to one of the straight rods 42 of the folding bracket 41.
[0029] When the vehicle body is folded, the connecting rod 43 and the straight rod 42 rotate relative to each other, reducing the length of the connecting rod 43 and making the vehicle body smaller after folding.
[0030] The base frame 3 includes a middle connecting rod 31, a front base frame 32, and a rear base frame 33. The front base frame 32 and the rear base frame 33 are rotatably connected to the front support 1 and the rear support 2, respectively. The other end of the front base frame 32 is rotatably connected to a front support rod 34, which is rotatably connected to the middle connecting rod 31. The other end of the rear base frame 33 is rotatably connected to a rear support rod 35, which is rotatably connected to the middle connecting rod 31. A support rod 36 is provided between the middle connecting rod 31 and the folding bracket 41 located in the middle. The support rod 36 is connected at the intersection of the folding bracket 41.
[0031] A bottom crossbar 37 is provided between the two side frames 4. There are two bottom crossbars 37. The two ends of the bottom crossbar 37 are respectively connected to the connection point between the two folding brackets 41. One bottom crossbar 37 is connected to the connection point between the middle folding bracket 41 and the front folding bracket 41, and the other bottom crossbar 37 is connected to the connection point between the center folding bracket 41 and the rear folding bracket 41.
[0032] When the frame is in the open position, the base frame 3 rests against the bottom crossbar 37, giving the base frame 3 better support performance and better load-bearing capacity.
[0033] The frame is also covered with a fabric panel 8.
[0034] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the frame is in the open position, as... Figure 3 As shown, the frame is in a folded state. When the frame is in a folded state, the front base frame 32 and the front support rod 34 rotate relative to each other to fold together, and the rear base frame 33 and the rear support rod 35 rotate relative to each other to fold together. This makes the overall size of the frame smaller after folding.
[0035] like Figure 5As shown, the frame is in a packaged state. The front wheel 6 and the rear wheel 7 are removed from the vehicle body and placed into the gaps in the vehicle body. The telescopic handle 5 is disassembled and stacked on the vehicle body, so that the vehicle body has a smaller packaging volume, effectively reducing packaging and transportation costs.
