Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric bicycle technology, specifically to an electric bicycle with integrated USB charging function. Background Technology

[0002] Electric bicycles are mechatronic personal transportation vehicles that use batteries as auxiliary power and are based on ordinary bicycles, with the addition of motors, controllers, batteries, throttles, brake levers, and display instrument systems.

[0003] For example, the patent with national authorized patent announcement number CN205113626U discloses an electric bicycle battery with USB charging function, including a battery body, a battery shell located outside the battery body, and a storage bag located on the side of the battery shell. Due to the setting of the circuit conversion adapter and USB port, mobile phones and other electrical appliances can be charged by the electric bicycle battery. The current switching key is used to switch the output current of the standard USB port to adapt to the needs of different models of electrical appliances. The design of the storage bag can place mobile phones and other electrical appliances that are charging inside, making it convenient to charge while the electric bicycle is in motion. Two tightening straps limit the charging electrical appliances and prevent them from being bumped or even damaged by the bumps during the electric bicycle's motion.

[0004] However, the USB charging ports of the aforementioned electric bicycle batteries with USB charging functionality are fixedly installed on the battery casing. They do not have the function of extending or retracting the USB charging port according to the length of the data cable. Charging devices can only be inserted into a small area near the port, which makes them inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric bicycle with integrated USB charging function, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the USB charging interface is fixedly installed on the battery shell and cannot be stretched or loosened according to the length of the data cable.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An electric bicycle with integrated USB charging function includes: an electric bicycle body and a battery compartment fixedly installed on the electric bicycle body. A battery is fixedly installed in the battery compartment. A pulling mechanism is fixedly installed at one end of the battery. A USB charging interface is inserted into the pulling mechanism. The USB charging interface is electrically connected to the battery through a wire. The USB charging interface can be pulled out from the pulling mechanism through the wire.

[0008] Preferably, the outer shell of the USB charging interface is equipped with two sets of top covers at both ends with damping rotation. The two sets of top covers can be flipped to cover the USB charging interface, and the USB charging interface can also be pulled out from the pulling mechanism by flipping open the top covers.

[0009] Preferably, the pulling mechanism includes a convex tube, which is fixedly installed at one end of the battery and extends through the upper surface of the battery compartment, and the convex tube segment extending through the upper surface of the battery compartment can be inserted into the USB charging interface.

[0010] Preferably, the USB charging interface is electrically connected to the battery by extending a wire into the convex tube. Sliding tubes are fixedly installed at both ends of the convex tube. A connecting rod is slidably installed in the sliding tube with damping. A top plate is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod. An inner ring groove is opened on the outer surface of the top plate, so that the wire of the USB charging interface passes through the multiple sets of top plates.

[0011] Preferably, a spring is provided inside the slide tube, with both ends of the spring fixedly connected to one end inside the slide tube and one end of the connecting rod, so that the spring can apply a spring force to the connecting rod, thereby allowing multiple sets of top plates to be supported by the spring force applied to the connecting rod to push the wires into an S-shape and store them inside the convex tube.

[0012] Preferably, a plastic buckle is fixedly installed at one end of the USB charging interface. The plastic buckle can be inserted into the limiting groove together with the USB charging interface when it is inserted into the convex tube. The limiting groove is opened at one end of the convex tube.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The design incorporates a battery compartment, USB charging port, top cover, battery, plastic clips, and a pulling mechanism. When connecting the data cable to the USB charging port, if the data cable is short or the space near the battery compartment is limited, the operator can press the top covers at both ends of the USB charging port to flip it open. The two flipped-open top covers form a U-shape with the USB charging port. The operator can then pinch the two top covers and pull the USB charging port out from the pulling mechanism. During this pulling process, the plastic clips disengage from the pulling mechanism, releasing the restraining force on the USB charging port. The pulled-out USB charging port will then extend through the cable, and the pulling mechanism will simultaneously apply a pulling force to the extended cable, allowing excess cable to extend further. The cable segment is pulled back into the pulling mechanism for storage, thus preventing the cable from scattering or tangling. This function reduces cable wear, extends service life, and keeps the environment clean. The pulling force is 0.5-2 Newtons, preventing the cable from breaking due to excessive pulling force. After use, when the data cable is unplugged from the USB charging port, the cable is automatically pulled back into the pulling mechanism, reducing the hassle of manually tidying the cable and preventing damage to the interface or tangling of the cable caused by improper placement, further improving the product's durability. The USB charging port can then be re-inserted into the pulling mechanism using the plastic snap, allowing users to flexibly adjust the charging position according to their needs and avoiding the inconvenience of being unable to charge properly due to location restrictions.

[0015] 2. Through the design of the convex tube, sliding tube, connecting rod, top plate, and spring, when the USB charging port is pulled out of the convex tube, the USB charging port pulls the wire, causing it to push against multiple top plates in the convex tube. When the top plates are pushed, they cause the connecting rod to slide into the sliding tube. This causes the connecting rod to press against the spring installed inside the sliding tube, which in turn applies a pushing force of 0.5-2 Newtons to the connecting rod. This causes multiple connecting rods to push the top plates against the surface of the wire, thus pulling the excess wire back into the convex tube in an S-shape for retraction. After use, simply unplug the data cable from the USB charging port, and the USB charging cable will be automatically pulled back into the convex tube by the pulling force. Then, the USB charging port can be reinserted into the limiting groove of the convex tube by the plastic buckle. During use, users can simply pull the USB charging port to adjust its position according to actual needs to accommodate different data cable lengths and usage scenarios. After use, the charging port can automatically retract, eliminating the need for manual cable management, greatly simplifying the charging operation process and improving the convenience of use.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an electric bicycle with integrated USB charging function includes: an electric bicycle body and a battery compartment 1 fixedly installed on the electric bicycle body. A storage battery 103 is fixedly installed in the battery compartment 1. A pulling mechanism 2 is fixedly installed at one end of the storage battery 103. A USB charging interface 101 is inserted into the pulling mechanism 2. The USB charging interface 101 is electrically connected to the storage battery 103 through a wire. The USB charging interface 101 can be pulled out from the pulling mechanism 2 through the wire. Two sets of top covers 102 are damped and rotatably installed at both ends of the outer shell of the USB charging interface 101. The two sets of top covers 102 can be flipped to cover the USB charging interface 101, and the USB charging interface 101 can also be pulled out from the pulling mechanism 2 by flipping open the top covers 102.

[0024] Through the design of the battery compartment 1, USB charging port 101, top cover 102, battery 103, plastic buckle 104, and pulling mechanism 2, when the data cable is connected to the USB charging port 101, if the data cable is short or the space near the battery compartment 1 is small, the operator can press the top covers 102 at both ends of the USB charging port 101 shell to flip it open. The two flipped-open top covers 102 will form a U-shape with the USB charging port 101. Then, the operator can pinch the two top covers 102 to pull the USB charging port 101 out from the pulling mechanism 2. During the pulling of the USB charging port 101, the plastic buckle 104 will also disengage from the pulling mechanism 2, thus releasing the restraining force applied to the USB charging port 101. The pulled-out USB charging port 101 will then be extended by the cable pulled out from the pulling mechanism 2, and at the same time, the pulling mechanism 2 will extend the cable. A pulling force is applied to the extended wire, causing the excess wire to be pulled back into the pulling mechanism 2 for storage, thus preventing the wire from scattering or tangling. This function reduces wire wear, extends service life, and keeps the environment clean. The pulling force is 0.5-2 Newtons, preventing the wire from breaking due to excessive pulling force. After use, when the data cable is unplugged from the USB charging port 101, the wire of the USB charging port 101 is automatically pulled back into the pulling mechanism 2 by the pulling force, reducing the trouble of manually tidying the wire and preventing problems such as interface damage or wire tangling caused by careless placement by the user, further improving the durability of the product. Subsequently, the USB charging port 101 can be reinserted into the pulling mechanism 2 through the plastic buckle 104, thus allowing the user to flexibly adjust the charging position according to actual needs and avoiding the inconvenience of not being able to charge normally due to position restrictions.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the pulling mechanism 2 includes a convex tube 201, which is fixedly installed at one end of the battery 103 and extends through the upper surface of the battery compartment 1. The section of the convex tube 201 extending through the upper surface of the battery compartment 1 can accommodate the USB charging interface 101. The USB charging interface 101 is electrically connected to the battery 103 through a wire extending into the convex tube 201. Sliding tubes 205 are fixedly installed at both ends of the convex tube 201. A connecting rod 202 is damped and slidably installed inside the sliding tube 205. A top plate 203 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rod 202. An inner ring groove is opened on the outer surface of the top plate 203 so that the wire of the USB charging interface 101 passes through multiple sets of top plates 203.

[0026] The slide tube 205 is equipped with a spring 204. The two ends of the spring 204 are fixedly connected to one end of the slide tube 205 and one end of the connecting rod 202, respectively. This allows the spring 204 to apply a spring force to the connecting rod 202, thereby allowing multiple sets of top plates 203 to push the wires into an S-shape and store them in the convex tube 201 through the spring force applied to the connecting rod 202.

[0027] Among them, a plastic buckle 104 is fixedly installed on one end of the USB charging interface 101. The plastic buckle 104 can be inserted into the limiting groove 105 together with the USB charging interface 101 when it is inserted into the convex tube 201. The limiting groove 105 is opened at one end of the convex tube 201.

[0028] Through the design of the convex tube 201, sliding tube 205, connecting rod 202, top plate 203, and spring 204, when the USB charging interface 101 is pulled out from the convex tube 201, the USB charging interface 101 pulls the wire and pushes against multiple sets of top plates 203. When the top plates 203 are pushed, they cause the connecting rod 202 to slide into the sliding tube 205. This allows the connecting rod 202 to press against the spring 204 installed inside the sliding tube 205. The spring 204 then applies a pushing force of 0.5-2 Newtons to the connecting rod 202, causing the multiple sets of connecting rods 202 to push the top plates 203 against the surface of the wire. This allows the excess wire segment pulled out to pass through the top plates 203. The pusher 3 is pulled back into the convex tube 201 in an S-shape for storage. After use, the data cable is unplugged from the USB charging port 101, and the cable of the USB charging port 101 is automatically pulled back into the convex tube 201 by the pulling force. Then, the USB charging port 101 can be re-inserted into the limiting groove 105 of the convex tube 201 through the plastic buckle 104. When using it, the user can simply pull the USB charging port 101 to adjust its position according to actual needs to adapt to different data cable lengths and usage scenarios. After use, the charging port can automatically retract, eliminating the need to manually organize the cable, greatly simplifying the charging operation process and improving the convenience of use.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: When connecting the data cable to the USB charging port 101, if the data cable is short or the space near the battery compartment 1 is small, the operator can press the top covers 102 at both ends of the USB charging port 101 shell to flip it open. The two flipped-open top covers 102 will form a U-shape with the USB charging port 101. Then, the operator can pinch the two top covers 102 to pull the USB charging port 101 out of the convex tube 201. During the pulling of the USB charging port 101, the plastic buckle 104 will also disengage from the limiting groove 105 opened in the convex tube 201, thus releasing the limiting force applied to the USB charging port 101. The pulled-out USB charging port 101 will then pull the wire against the convex tube 201 and push against multiple top plates 203, which can then be used by the operator. When the operator inserts the data cable into the USB charging port 101 for charging, the top plate 203 is pushed, causing the connecting rod 202 to slide into the slide tube 205. This causes the connecting rod 202 to press against the spring 204 inside the slide tube 205, which in turn causes the spring 204 to apply a pushing force of 0.5-2 Newtons to the connecting rod 202. This causes multiple sets of connecting rods 202 to push the top plate 203 against the surface of the wire, allowing any excess wire to be pulled back into the convex tube 201 in an S-shape for storage. After use, when the data cable is unplugged from the USB charging port 101, the wire of the USB charging port 101 is automatically pulled back into the convex tube 201 by the pulling force. Then, the USB charging port 101 can be re-inserted into the limiting groove 105 of the convex tube 201 through the plastic buckle 104 for storage.

[0030] In summary, users can easily adjust the position of the USB charging port 101 by simply pulling it to accommodate different data cable lengths and usage scenarios. After use, the charging port automatically retracts, eliminating the need for manual cable management and greatly simplifying the charging process and improving ease of use.
