Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric-assisted bicycle technology, and in particular to a cleaning structure for a foldable electric-assisted bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing density of urban populations, traffic congestion has become a more serious problem. At the same time, people's demand for convenient, environmentally friendly, and efficient travel methods is constantly growing. Traditional gasoline-powered vehicles face numerous problems in cities, such as parking difficulties and exhaust pollution. While public transportation can carry a large number of passengers, it has limitations in flexibility and cannot fully meet people's "door-to-door" travel needs. Against this backdrop, bicycles, as a green, convenient, and healthy mode of transportation, have once again received widespread attention. They can easily navigate through urban streets and alleys, avoiding traffic congestion, and also make a positive contribution to environmental protection. In recent years, electric-assisted bicycles have further expanded their applicability due to their combination of human riding and electric assistance, allowing users with different physical abilities and travel distances to benefit. However, existing foldable electric-assisted bicycles often have mud and dirt stuck to the wheels when folded, making them inconvenient to store. To solve these problems, a cleaning structure for foldable electric-assisted bicycles is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cleaning structure for a foldable electric-assisted bicycle, characterized in that it includes a front fork, a wheel, a rotating shaft, a cleaning block, a cleaning groove, a limiting rod, a limiting groove, and a nut. The wheel is provided at the lower end of the front fork, the rotating shaft is provided on the front fork, the cleaning block is provided on the rotating shaft, the cleaning block is provided with a cleaning groove, the cleaning block is provided with a limiting groove, the limiting groove is provided with a limiting rod, and the limiting rod is provided with a nut.

[0004] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is located above the wheel, the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the cleaning block, the lower end of the cleaning block is provided with a decontamination groove, the decontamination groove is coupled to the wheel, the decontamination groove is provided with brush bristles by adhesive, and the upper end of the cleaning block is provided with a limiting groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the fork has an opening, and the limiting rod extends through the opening into the limiting groove. The end of the limiting rod has a thread, and the thread of the limiting rod extends out of the fork and connects with the nut to limit the cleaning block.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] This invention removes the nut from the limiting rod and from the opening of the limiting groove and the front fork. At this time, the cleaning block rotates downward around the axis of rotation, so that the cleaning groove is coupled with the wheel. The cleaning groove uses adhesive-attached bristles to wipe the wheel, cleaning the mud and stains on the wheel surface. When the bristles wear out, they are replaced by adhesive. When the foldable electric-assist bicycle is folded, the mud and stains on the wheels are cleaned, making it easy to store. Attached Figure Description
