[0002] A bicycle is a human-powered means of transportation, mainly composed of a frame, two wheels, a transmission system, a steering system, a braking system, and a seat.
[0003] Patent CN216660188U discloses an electric bicycle. It includes a frame, a drive assembly, and a braking assembly. One end of the frame has a front fork and handlebars, and the other end has a saddle sleeve and a rear fork. A power sleeve is inserted into the saddle sleeve, and a power assembly is housed within the power sleeve. The top of the power sleeve has a seat. The drive assembly includes a drive motor, sprocket, pedals, chain, freewheel, front wheel, and rear wheel, all electrically connected to the power assembly. Using this patent, the drive motor rotates the rear wheel to assist the rider. However, this existing patent has some shortcomings in practical use. The power assembly of the bicycle requires charging after each use, but in the event of insufficient power during long-distance riding, the rider must rely on manual labor, significantly reducing the riding experience. Furthermore, each charging session requires waiting time, which can delay the journey.
[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a bicycle with an energy storage structure. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: A bicycle with an energy storage structure includes a connecting frame, a rotating frame, a front wheel, a rear wheel, pedals, a transmission assembly, a support frame, a drive motor, a seat, and a mudguard. The rotating frame is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame, the front wheel is rotatably mounted on the rotating frame, the rear wheel is rotatably mounted on the connecting frame, and the pedals are rotatably mounted on the connecting frame.

A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, and a reflector is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0008] As an improvement to the above scheme, it also includes a photosensitive sensor, a controller, and a motor.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, reflective strips are also included, with reflective strips affixed to the mudguards.
[0011] As an improvement to the above solution, anti-slip patterns are provided on both the front and rear wheels.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1.

[0013] 2. Solar energy is reflected onto the photovoltaic panel through a reflector, thereby enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel.
[0014] 3. By starting two motors, the output shaft of the motor drives the connecting shaft to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft drives the connecting plate and the reflector to rotate simultaneously. The photosensitive sensor detects and records the light reflected on the photovoltaic panel, compares it to determine the optimal reflection position, and finally converts the data into a signal and sends it to the controller. The controller then precisely controls the number of rotations of the output shaft of the drive motor, causing the output shaft of the drive motor to rotate to a specified angle to achieve the best reflection effect and maintain the photovoltaic panel in the best energy absorption state.

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.
[0023] Example 1: A bicycle with an energy storage structure, see [reference] Figures 1-6As shown, the device includes a connecting frame 1, a rotating frame 2, a front wheel 3, a rear wheel 4, a pedal 5, a transmission assembly 6, a support frame 7, a drive motor 8, a seat 12, and a mudguard 13. The rotating frame 2 is rotatably mounted at the front of the connecting frame 1, the front wheel 3 is rotatably mounted at the lower part of the rotating frame 2, and the rear wheel 4 is rotatably mounted at the rear of the connecting frame 1. The front wheel 3 and the rear wheel 4 are on the same horizontal line. The pedal 5 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the connecting frame 1. The transmission assembly 6 is located between the pedal 5 and the rear wheel 4. The transmission assembly 6 consists of two drive wheels and a chain. The two drive wheels are fixed on the central shafts of the pedal 5 and the rear wheel 4, respectively, and the chain wraps around the two drive wheels. The rear of the connecting frame 1 is fixed... A support frame 7 is connected, and a drive motor 8 is bolted to the support frame 7. The central shaft of the rear wheel 4 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 8 using a coupling. A seat 12 is fixedly connected to the rear of the connecting frame 1, and a mudguard 13 is fixedly connected to the rear of the connecting frame 1. The mudguard 13 is located behind the seat 12. The system also includes a fixed base 9, a photovoltaic panel 10, and a battery 11. A fixed base 9 is welded to the upper part of the rotating frame 2. A photovoltaic panel 10 is bolted to the front of the fixed base 9, and a battery 11 is bolted to the rear of the photovoltaic panel 10. The battery 11 is connected to the drive motor 8 via wires.
[0024] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a fixing plate 22 and a lighting lamp 23. The fixing plate 22 is installed on the upper part of the rotating frame 2 by welding. The fixing plate 22 is located below the photovoltaic panel 10. The lighting lamp 23 is installed on both the left and right sides of the fixing plate 22 by bolt connection.
[0025] See Figure 1 As shown, it also includes reflective strips 21, which are affixed to the mudguard 13.
[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, both the front wheel 3 and the rear wheel 4 are equipped with anti-slip patterns to prevent slipping on wet surfaces.
[0027] When riding a bicycle, first sit on the seat 12 with one foot on the ground and the other on the pedal 5. Hold the two handlebars on the rotating frame 2. To start, push off the ground with the foot on pedal 5, simultaneously shifting your weight onto the bicycle and placing your other foot on the other pedal 5. As pedal 5 rotates, it drives the chain and two drive wheels on the transmission assembly 6, causing the transmission assembly 6 to drive the rear wheel 4. This causes the rear wheel 4 to move, and as it rotates and moves, it compresses the front wheel 3, causing it to move forward and rotate. The frame 2 can change the direction of the bicycle's movement. The mudguard 13 can block the mud that splashes up when riding. When riding, the drive motor 8 can drive the rear wheel 4 to rotate, which makes riding more effortless. The photovoltaic panel 10 can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in the battery 11 to continuously power the drive motor 8 and avoid the situation of insufficient power. The reflective strip 21 can reflect the surrounding light to make the bicycle more visible. When riding at night, the headlight 23 can be turned on to illuminate the road and make it easier to see the road conditions.
[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a support base 14, a connecting plate 15, a reflector 16 and a connecting shaft 17.

The controller 19 is installed on the outside of the reflector 16 by bolt connection. The motor 20 is installed on both the top and bottom sides of the photovoltaic panel 10 by bolt connection. The connecting shaft 17 is connected to the output shaft of the adjacent motor 20 by a coupling. The controller 19 is electrically connected to the adjacent motor 20 and the photosensitive sensor 18.
[0030] When riding, the two motors 20 are started. The output shaft of the motor 20 drives the connecting shaft 17 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting shaft 17 drives the connecting plate 15 and the reflector 16 to rotate. The reflector 16 reflects solar energy onto the photovoltaic panel 10, thereby enhancing the energy conversion efficiency of the photovoltaic panel 10. The photosensitive sensor 18 detects and records the light reflected on the photovoltaic panel 10 and compares it to determine the optimal reflection position. The photosensitive sensor 18 converts its data into a signal and transmits it to the controller 19, so that the controller 19 can precisely control the number of rotations of the output shaft of the drive motor 8, so that the output shaft of the drive motor 8 is rotated to a specified angle to achieve the best reflection effect and maintain the optimal energy absorption state of the photovoltaic panel 10.
