Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of two-wheeled vehicle technology, specifically to a license plate holder and a two-wheeled vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are clear requirements for license plates for electric vehicles on the road. Electric vehicles manufactured by various companies have license plate mounting locations on the rear fender or the rear of the vehicle. Different cities have different license plate size requirements and mounting schemes. License plates are crucial for company operations and urban vehicle management; deformed or damaged license plates can trigger compliance issues, leading to frequent vehicle confiscations by cities.

[0003] For shared or customer-operated vehicles, there are generally two solutions for license plate installation. The first solution involves installing an adapter bracket on a plastic component at the rear of the vehicle, mounting the license plate on the bracket, with the license plate and plastic component in a fixed relative position, allowing them to move as a single unit. The second solution involves separately welding sheet metal at the end of the vehicle body to mount the adapter bracket, on which the license plate is mounted. Both solutions have significant drawbacks. In the first solution, the plastic component itself and the mounting point lack sufficient strength. The fixed relative position of the license plate and plastic component, coupled with their movement as a single unit, makes the plastic component prone to cracking and the mounting point to fail, and it cannot effectively prevent license plate deformation. The second solution increases the vehicle's weight, improves overall body strength, but the rigid connection between the body, adapter bracket, and license plate makes them susceptible to deformation of the adapter bracket or the license plate itself.

[0049] Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial structural schematic of a two-wheeled vehicle provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 2 This is a first-view view of the cooperation structure between the license plate holder and the vehicle body provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 3 This is a second-view diagram showing the cooperation structure between the license plate holder and the vehicle body provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. Figure 4An exploded view of the license plate holder provided in an embodiment of this disclosure is shown. The license plate holder 100 has a fixed frame 1 and a movable frame 2. The fixed frame 1 is used to fix it to the vehicle body 200, and the movable frame 2 is movably connected to the fixed frame 1 and is used to mount the license plate 300. The fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2 are not rigidly connected, but rather flexibly connected. When the license plate 300 is subjected to external force, it can move relative to the vehicle body 200, buffering the external force and preventing deformation and damage to the license plate holder 100 and the license plate 300. This improves the reliability of the license plate holder 100 and the license plate 300 and extends their service life.

[0050] In some possible embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the license plate holder 100 includes: a fixed frame 1, a movable frame 2, and an elastic element 3. The fixed frame 1 is used for connection and fixation. For example, the fixed frame 1 can be fixed to a corresponding position on the vehicle body 200 by fasteners. The movable frame 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 1, and a license plate fixing part 2111 is provided on the movable frame 2 for connection and fixation with the license plate 300. The elastic element 3 is disposed between the fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2. Under the action of external force, the movable frame 2 can rotate around the fixed frame 1, and the elastic element 3 undergoes elastic deformation. When the external force is removed, the elastic element 3 restores its deformation to drive the movable frame 2 to reset.

[0051] The movable frame 2 and fixed frame 1 of the license plate bracket 100 provided in this embodiment are movably connected, and an elastic element 3 is provided between them, forming a flexible connection. Under the action of external force, the movable frame 2 and the license plate 300 will move, and the elastic element 3 will deform to buffer the external force, avoiding rigid collision. After the external force is removed, the movable frame 2 and the license plate 300 return to their original positions, effectively preventing deformation of the license plate 300 and the license plate bracket 100, thereby reducing the failure rate. Because the license plate bracket 100 is movably configured, the movable frame 2 and the fixed frame 1 can be set to minimize the installation of the license plate 300, thereby reducing the overall vehicle weight.

[0052] Since the license plate bracket 100 provided in this embodiment is movable, the vehicle body 200 does not need to bear a large load when subjected to external force. Therefore, the license plate bracket 100 can be installed at any position on the vehicle frame or exterior parts, relaxing space restrictions, not requiring a fixed connection with the frame, saving the need to weld sheet metal on the frame, and helping to reduce the weight of the whole vehicle.

[0053] In some possible embodiments, the license plate holder 100 includes a connector 4. The fixed frame 1 has a fixed plate 11 and a first sleeve 12 connecting the fixed plate 11. The movable frame 2 includes a movable plate 21 and a second sleeve 22 connecting the movable plate 21. The movable plate 21 has a license plate fixing part 2111. The connector 4 passes through the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22, connecting the fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2. The fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2 can move relative to each other and rotate relative to each other around the connector 4. The connector 4 can be a pin, generally cylindrical. The first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22 are sleeved on the connector 4, and the second sleeve 22 can rotate around the connector 4.

[0054] The fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2 are detachably connected. In the past, it was necessary to replace the entire license plate 300 adapter plate to deal with the problem of different sizes of license plates 300 in different cities. By adopting the license plate bracket 100 provided in this embodiment, only the movable plate 21 needs to be replaced, which greatly saves the replacement cost.

[0055] The fixed frame 1 can be a single piece, and the first body 12 can be formed by partially bending the fixed plate 11. The entire fixed frame 1 has high structural strength and is not easily deformed. Fixed holes can be provided on the fixed plate 11, and bolts can be passed through these holes to connect to the vehicle body 200, thus fixing the fixed plate 11 to the vehicle body. Similarly, the movable frame 2 can also be a single piece, and the second body 22 can be formed by partially bending the movable plate 21. The entire movable frame 2 has high structural strength and is not easily deformed.

[0056] In some possible implementations, the license plate holder 100 includes an elastic element 3, which can be connected to the connector 4, and the elastic element 3 abuts against the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 21 respectively.

[0057] When the license plate 300 or the movable frame 2 is subjected to an external force, the license plate 300 and the movable frame 2 will deform accordingly. At this time, the deformation of the elastic element 3 increases to buffer the external force and prevent the movable frame 2 and the license plate 300 from being deformed and damaged under the action of the external force. After the external force is removed, the elastic element 3 restores its deformation and applies elastic force to the movable frame 2 and the fixed frame 1, so that the movable frame 2 drives the license plate 300 to return to its original position. Throughout the process, the license plate 300 and the movable frame 2 only rotate as a whole, and the external force is borne by the elastic element 3. The license plate 300 and the movable frame 2 do not deform or suffer damage.

[0058] In some possible embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, a stop arm 121 is provided on the first body 12. The stop arm 121 and the fixed plate 11 have an included angle. The movable plate 21 is located between the fixed plate 11 and the stop arm 121. The stop arm 121 restricts the movable plate 21 from rotating between the fixed plate 11 and the stop arm 121.

[0059] By setting the stop arm 121, the license plate 300 can be limited to move within a certain angle range, ensuring that the angle of the license plate 300 can be easily identified and seen when the vehicle is static. Under the action of no external force, the elastic member 3 applies elastic force to the movable frame 2, so that the movable plate 21 of the movable frame 2 abuts against the stop arm 121. At this time, the angle of the license plate 300 is optimal, and the angle of the license plate 300 is highly recognizable.

[0060] It should be noted that the force value of the elastic element 3 must be selected to have a certain tension to ensure that the elastic force provided by the elastic element 3 can keep the license plate 300 in the open state when driving on a normal road surface, without shaking or making abnormal noise, thus improving the user experience.

[0061] In some possible embodiments, the stop arm 121 is located at one end of the first body 12 near the second body 22. The stop arm 121 is positioned as close as possible to the middle of the first body 12 and the second body 22, thereby limiting its position to the center of the movable plate 21 and preventing the stop arm 121 from acting on the edge of the movable plate 21, which would cause the movable plate 21 and the license plate 300 to be angularly misaligned.

[0062] In some possible embodiments, the first body 12 and the stop arm 121 are integrally formed. The stop arm 121 can be formed by cutting and straightening the first body 12. That is, the fixing frame 1 is an integrally formed part, and the fixing plate 11, the first body 12 and the stop arm 121 are all different parts of the integral part. The entire fixing frame 1 is integrally formed without welds, with high structural strength and good durability.

[0063] In some possible implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the movable plate 21 includes a mounting plate portion 211 and a transition plate portion 212. The transition plate portion 212 is connected to one side of the mounting plate portion along the width direction. The mounting plate portion 211 is provided with a license plate fixing portion 2111. The second sleeve 22 is connected to one side of the transition plate portion 212 along the length direction. Under the elastic force of the elastic member 3, the other side of the transition plate portion 212 along the length direction abuts against the stop arm 121.

[0064] The transition plate portion 212 is shorter than the mounting plate portion 211, and is located at the midpoint of one side of the mounting plate portion 211. A second sleeve 22 is provided on the side of the transition plate portion 212 opposite to the mounting plate portion 211. The transition plate portion 212 extends towards the first sleeve 12, thereby enabling it to engage with the stop arm 121 for limiting. The transition plate portion 212, the mounting plate portion 211, and the second sleeve 22 are integrally formed, resulting in a seamless movable frame 2 with high structural strength and good durability.

[0065] In some possible implementations, the elastic element 3 includes a helical segment 31 and torsion arms 32 located at both ends of the helical segment 31. The helical segment 31 is sleeved on the connector 4, and the two torsion arms 32 abut against the fixed plate 11 and the movable plate 21, respectively.

[0066] The use of a torsion spring in the elastic element 3 improves space utilization and basically does not occupy the internal space of the license plate bracket 100. The force value of the torsion spring must be selected to meet the requirement of having a certain tension, so that when driving on normal roads, the elastic force provided by the torsion spring can keep the license plate 300 in the open state without shaking or abnormal noise, thus improving the user experience.

[0067] In some possible embodiments, combined Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the connector 4 includes a rod 41 and a cap 42. The rod 41 includes a pivot 411 and a cap 412 disposed at one end of the pivot 411. The pivot 411 passes through the first sleeve 12 and the second sleeve 22. The cap 42 is detachably connected to the pivot 411. One of the caps 412 and the cap 42 is confined to the first sleeve 12, and the other is confined to the second sleeve 22. The connector 4 can be a bolt. The connector 4 has a simple structure, and its design allows the fixed frame 1 and the movable frame 2 to be detachable. Previously, to address the issue of different license plate sizes in various cities, it was necessary to replace the entire license plate adapter plate. With this device, only the movable plate 21 needs to be replaced, significantly reducing replacement costs.

[0068] In some possible embodiments, the license plate fixing part 2111 includes a connecting hole provided on the movable frame 2, through which a fastener can be connected to the license plate 300, thus connecting the movable frame 2 and the license plate 300. The fixing frame 1 is provided with a fixing hole, through which one end of a fastener can be connected to the vehicle body 200. The fastener can be a bolt.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the illustration, this disclosure also provides a two-wheeled vehicle, including a vehicle body 200 and a license plate holder 100, with the mounting bracket 1 of the license plate holder 100 connected to the vehicle body 200. The vehicle body 200 includes a frame, front fork, seat post, body shell, and rear fender, etc. The mounting bracket 1 can be fixed at any position on the vehicle body 200. For example, the mounting bracket 1 can be fixed to any one of the rear of the frame, the rear fender, the seat post, and the body shell. The license plate holder 100 provides a flexible connection between the license plate 300 and the vehicle body 200, effectively preventing deformation of the license plate 300 and the license plate holder 100, extending their service life, and reducing the failure rate.

[0070] The above description has been given for purposes of illustration and description. Furthermore, this description is not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure to the forms disclosed herein. Although numerous exemplary aspects and embodiments have been discussed above, those skilled in the art will recognize certain variations, modifications, alterations, additions, and sub-combinations therein.
