Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of bicycle accessories, and in particular to a foldable bicycle front basket. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the most common foldable bicycle front baskets on the market are made of metal and plastic. These baskets usually have a fixed shape, making them relatively large. This large size causes inconvenience during bicycle transportation, especially in terms of packaging. Currently, bicycles are folded into a predetermined shape and placed in standardized boxes for transport. However, bicycles with front baskets present challenges in effective packing when transporting them to end users or dealers due to the basket's size. Therefore, many bicycle manufacturers are now choosing not to include a front basket in their standard configurations to simplify the transportation and packaging process.

[0003] This also means that after purchasing a bicycle, users need to buy a front basket separately and install it themselves, which causes inconvenience for users. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the obstruction of the front basket to the packing of the bicycle and make the front basket easy to pack with the bicycle when folded, this application provides a foldable bicycle front basket.

[0005] The present application provides a foldable bicycle front basket using the following technical solution:

[0007] The mounting section is used to mount the bicycle, and a connector for connecting to the bicycle is provided on one side.

[0008] The shielding part is hinged to one end of the mounting part, forming a placement space for placing items between the shielding part and the mounting part;

[0009] A fixing component is used to fix the position of the shielding part on the mounting part.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when a bicycle needs to be packed and transported, the cover can be rotated around the hinge axis with the mounting part to fold up the front basket, reducing the obstruction caused by the front basket to the folding and transport of the bicycle. In use, the cover is simply rotated around the hinge axis with the mounting part to open the storage space, and the position of the cover relative to the mounting part is fixed by the fixing components. It is very convenient and flexible to use, greatly reducing the obstruction caused by the front basket to the bicycle packing, making the front basket easy to pack and fold along with the bicycle.

[0011] Optionally, the fixing component includes a torsion spring mounted on the hinge axis between the shield and the mounting portion, wherein the shield rotates toward the mounting portion under the action of the torsion spring.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the front basket is in a folded state under normal conditions. When it is necessary to place items, the items can be placed directly in the placement space between the cover and the mounting part, and the cover and the mounting part can hold the items in place, ensuring the items are placed securely.

[0013] Optionally, the fixing component includes a pull cord fixed between the shield and the mounting portion, the pull cord being located at the end of the shield away from its own hinge axis.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the position of the shielding part relative to the mounting part can be fixed by pulling the rope, ensuring the proper placement of the item.

[0015] Optionally, the mounting portion includes a connecting rod for connecting to a bicycle and a support rod fixed to one end of the connecting rod, with the shielding portion hinged to the end of the support rod away from the connecting rod.

[0016] Optionally, the connecting rod is provided in two parallel positions, and the support rod is also provided in two parallel positions, with the shielding part hinged between the two support rods.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the support for the object becomes more stable.

[0018] Optionally, an abutment rod is fixed between the two connecting rods, the abutment rod being located at the end of the two connecting rods away from the support rod.

[0019] Optionally, the end of the connecting rod away from the support rod is bent toward the placement space, and the bent part of the connecting rod forms a folded space for the shielding part to be embedded.

[0020] Optionally, the connector includes a connecting plate fixed to the side of each connecting rod away from the placement space, with a mounting space for embedding a bicycle frame formed between the two connecting plates.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the two connecting plates are placed on both sides of the bicycle frame, and the positions of the two connecting plates and the bicycle frame can be fixed by bolts.

[0022] Optionally, multiple connectors are provided at intervals along the length of the connecting rod.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the front basket is more securely fixed.

[0024] Optionally, the support rod and the connecting rod are arranged at an angle; the angle between the support rod and the connecting rod ranges from 90 to 150 degrees.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the volume of the front basket after folding can be reduced, while the placement space formed by the front basket can be maximized.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0027] 1. This application adopts a foldable front basket design, which allows the front basket to be easily folded up when not in use and when packing, reducing its volume and facilitating the packing and transportation of bicycles;

[0028] 2. This application, through the design of the fixing components, can easily fix the position of the obstruction, ensuring that the item can be smoothly placed in the placement space, thus improving the safety and convenience of use;

[0029] 3. By setting the support rod and connecting rod at an angle, this application maximizes the placement space while reducing the overall volume of the front basket. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-2 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses a foldable bicycle front basket. (See also...) Figure 1 The foldable bicycle front basket includes a mounting part 1 for connecting to the bicycle frame, a cover part 2 hinged to one end of the mounting part 1, and a fixing component for fixing the cover part 2 in the position of the mounting part 1. A connector 4 for connecting to the bicycle is provided on the side of the mounting part 1 away from the cover part 2. With the fixing component in place, a storage space 51 for placing items is formed between the cover part 2 and the mounting part 1.

[0035] In use, the front basket can be mounted on the bicycle bracket via connector 4, and the position of the cover 2 relative to the mounting part 1 can be fixed by the fixing component, forming a placement space 51 between the cover 2 and the mounting part 1, where the user can place items. When the bicycle needs to be folded for transport, simply release the fixing component from the cover 2, and then rotate the cover 2 around the hinge axis with the mounting part 1 until it overlaps with the mounting part 1. This reduces the space occupied by the front basket, making it easier to fold and transport with the bicycle, and minimizing the obstruction the front basket may cause to the bicycle packing, thus making it easier to fold and pack with the bicycle.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting part 1 includes a connecting rod 11 for connecting to a bicycle frame and a support rod 12 fixed to one end of the connecting rod 11. When the connecting rod 11 is vertically mounted on the bicycle frame, the support rod 12 is located at the lower end of the connecting rod 11, and the shielding part 2 is hinged to the end of the support rod 12 away from the connecting rod 11.

[0037] The connecting rod 11 can be provided in two parallel positions, and the support rod 12 can also be provided in two parallel positions. The shielding part 2 is hinged between the two support rods 12. Furthermore, an abutment rod 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the two connecting rods 11 away from the support rod 12, and a support plate 14 is fixedly connected between the two support rods 12, so as to better support the items placed in the placement space 51.

[0038] Meanwhile, a reinforcing frame 15 is fixed to the side of the two support rods 12 away from the placement space 51, which can increase the support capacity for items in the placement space 51.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support rod 12 and the connecting rod 11 are set at an angle. Specifically, the angle between the support rod 12 and the connecting rod 11 can be in the range of 90-150 degrees. This application takes 120 degrees between the support rod 12 and the connecting rod 11 as an example to illustrate that, while maximizing the placement space 51, the volume of the front basket after folding can also be reduced.

[0040] The end of the connecting rod 11 away from the support rod 12 is bent toward the placement space 51. The bent part of the connecting rod 11 forms a folding space 52 for the shielding part 2 to be embedded, so that when the current basket is folded, the side of the shielding part 2 away from its own hinge axis abuts against the folding space 52.

[0041] Reference Figure 1The shielding part 2 includes a shielding plate 21 hinged between two support rods 12 and a surrounding plate 22 integrally fixed to opposite sides of the folding plate. The side of the two surrounding plates 22 away from the shielding plate 21 is bent toward the direction of the placement space 51, so that the items in the placement space 51 can be shielded and the placement stability of the items can be guaranteed.

[0042] In one example of this application, the fixing component includes a torsion spring (not shown) mounted at the hinge axis of the cover plate 21 and the support rod 12. The torsion spring applies a force to the cover plate 2 that always rotates in the direction of the placement space 51. Under normal conditions, under the elastic force of the torsion spring, the end of the cover plate 21 away from its hinge axis always abuts against the folding space 52. When the user places an item into the placement space 51, the cover plate 21 can be pushed away from the placement space 51, and under the action of the torsion spring, the folding plate clamps the item in the placement space 51, making the fixation of the item more secure.

[0043] In another example of this application, the fixing component includes a pull cord (not shown) fixed between the cover part 2 and the mounting part 1, with the pull cord located at the end of the cover part 2 away from its hinge axis. This allows the user to directly rotate the cover part 2 away from the placement space 51 when it is necessary to place an item in the front basket. At this time, the pull cord will pull the cover 21, thereby fixing the position of the cover 21, allowing the user to directly place the item into the placement space 51.

[0044] Of course, the fixing component can also be in other forms, as long as it can fix the relative position of the baffle 21 to the support rod 12.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The connector 4 includes a connecting plate fixed to the side of each connecting rod 11 away from the placement space 51, forming an installation space 53 between the two connecting plates 41 for embedding the bicycle frame. Each connecting plate 41 has a through hole. In use, a bolt is simply passed through the through hole of one connecting plate 41, through the bicycle frame, and out through the through hole of the other connecting plate 41, thus securing the front basket to the bicycle frame.

[0046] Multiple connectors 4 can be provided at intervals along the length of the connecting rod 11. This application uses two connectors 4 as an example for illustration.

[0047] The implementation principle of the foldable bicycle front basket in this application embodiment is as follows: When in use, the front basket can be directly installed on the bicycle frame through the connector 4. When the bicycle needs to be packed, the cover 21 is directly moved closer to the placement space 51, so that the end of the cover 21 away from its own hinge axis abuts against the folding space 52. Then the front basket and the bicycle can be packed together. The folded front basket occupies less space, reducing the obstruction of the front basket to the bicycle packing.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
