Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive technology, and in particular to a car that can carry a bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] Car-mounted bicycle technology primarily relies on roof, rear, or trailer-style carrier designs, combined with lightweight materials and modular fixing structures, to meet users' needs for outdoor activities or short-distance transportation. However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks: the mounting system only provides physical transportation functionality and lacks a power transmission interface, making it impossible to charge the electric bicycle en route. This leads to range anxiety for electric bicycle users on long journeys, requiring them to rely on charging stations or remove the battery for charging, significantly reducing usability and failing to meet the needs of the coordinated development of new energy transportation tools. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a car that can carry a bicycle, aiming to charge the bicycle while carrying it, thereby improving the convenience of use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a vehicle capable of carrying a bicycle, comprising:

[0005] The vehicle body has a front end and a rear end. An electronic control system is integrated inside the vehicle body. The rear end is provided with a housing structure for holding an electric bicycle. The rear end is also provided with a charging port, which is electrically connected to the electronic control system for charging the electric bicycle.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the charging port is rotatably connected to a dust cover.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the accommodating structure includes a fixed frame and two parallel fixed rods, the fixed frame being attached to the rear end surface of the vehicle, and the two fixed rods being disposed at the bottom of the fixed frame.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the surface of the fixing rod is provided with a plurality of stops at intervals, and a snap-fit ​​groove is formed between adjacent stops.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the accommodating structure includes a cover that, together with the rear end of the vehicle, forms an accommodating cavity, and the charging port is located within the accommodating cavity.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the cover has an opening at its bottom.

[0011] This utility model's technical solution integrates electric bicycle mounting and charging technologies, achieving efficient collaboration between transportation vehicles. It upgrades the traditional single function of bicycle transportation to an integrated "transportation plus charging" solution: a dedicated housing structure is set at the rear of the vehicle, using either an open fixing rod block or a semi-enclosed protective cover cavity to ensure stable loading of the bicycle while allowing for in-trip charging via an integrated charging interface. The open frame's snap-fit ​​slots adapt to different vehicle models, while the semi-enclosed housing cavity, combined with a bottom opening, provides waterproofing and heat dissipation, balancing protection and practicality. An intelligent electronic control system manages the charging process, and details such as dust covers ensure interface safety. Compared to traditional solutions, this technology effectively solves range anxiety for long-distance electric bicycle travel, improves loading and unloading convenience, and enhances driving safety through structural optimization. Its flexible design meets the needs of daily commuting and adapts to the complex environments of outdoor travel, demonstrating the enormous potential of new energy vehicles and micro-mobility tools in energy sharing and functional integration, providing reliable technical support for future multi-modal green travel.

[0020] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This utility model proposes a car that can carry a bicycle, including a car body 1, the car body 1 having a front end 11 and a rear end 12, the car body 1 having an integrated electronic control system, the rear end 12 having a housing structure for holding an electric bicycle 2, and the rear end 12 also having a charging port 3, which is electrically connected to the electronic control system for charging the electric bicycle 2.

[0023] Understandably, the main body of the car 1 is the basic frame of the car, including the front end 11 and the rear end 12. The electronic control system refers to the electronic control system integrated inside the car, including functions such as battery management, charging control, and power distribution. Its structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0024] A dedicated space at the rear end 12 of the vehicle, such as a trunk modification area, external bracket, or hidden storage compartment, is used to fix and store the electric bicycle 2. In this embodiment, it is an external bracket that can be detachably installed on the tailgate. A power interface is provided at the rear end 12, which connects to the vehicle's electronic control system and can output electrical energy. After the charging port 3 is connected to the battery of the electric bicycle 2, the vehicle's electronic control system can charge it, similar to the vehicle's external discharge function, such as V2L technology. This solves the problem that traditional bicycle racks cannot provide power, extending the range of the electric bicycle 2. The electric bicycle 2 can be charged during transportation, reducing additional charging time. The electronic control system can optimize the charging power to avoid overload or affecting the vehicle's range.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the charging port 3 is rotatably connected to a dust cover 31.

[0026] Understandably, the dust cover 31 is fixed to the edge of the charging port 3 by a rotatable mechanism such as a hinge or pivot, and can be opened and closed manually. It is used to seal the charging port 3 when not charging to prevent dust, rain, and foreign objects from entering and to avoid contact oxidation or short circuit.

[0027] Since the charging port 3 is located at the rear end 12 of the vehicle and is exposed to the external environment, the dust cover 31 is a necessary protective measure to ensure the long-term reliability of the charging interface. When charging the electric bicycle 2, the dust cover 31 must be opened and the charging plug inserted; after charging is completed, it should be closed to keep the vehicle clean and protect the internal circuitry.

[0028] Furthermore, the dust cover 31 needs to be waterproof and rustproof, such as with a rubber sealing ring and a plastic / metal shell; it can be designed to close automatically with spring assistance or to lock manually with a snap-on mechanism to prevent accidental opening due to vehicle vibration; it can also integrate a sensor to detect the status of the dust cover 31 and remind the user if it is not closed.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating structure includes a fixed frame 4 and two parallel fixed rods 5. The fixed frame 4 is attached to the surface of the rear end 12 of the vehicle, and the two fixed rods 5 are disposed at the bottom of the fixed frame 4.

[0030] Understandably, the fixing frame 4 is tightly connected to the vehicle's rear body panel, such as the trunk lid, rear bumper, or a dedicated bracket mounting position, via bolts, clips, or welding to ensure overall stability. As a supporting frame for the housing structure, it can integrate guide rails or locking mechanisms for easy installation and disassembly. The fixing rod 5 consists of two parallel metal rods, such as aluminum alloy or high-strength steel, vertically fixed outwards below the fixing frame 4 to support the electric bicycle 2. The spacing between the two fixing rods 5 can be adapted to the bicycle's wheelbase, with the wheel embedded in the groove between the rods or fixed by clamps.

[0031] After the electric bicycle 2 is placed on the fixing rod 5, its battery charging interface can be easily connected to the charging port 3 at the rear of the bicycle via a charging cable. The fixing rod 5 can integrate a limiting device to prevent the bicycle from shifting due to bumps during riding, which would affect the stability of the charging connection.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, a plurality of stops 51 are spaced apart on the surface of the fixing rod 5, and a snap-fit ​​groove 52 is formed between adjacent stops 51.

[0033] Understandably, the stop 51 is a raised structure, such as a rubber block, metal sheet, or plastic module, fixed to the surface of two parallel fixed rods 5, arranged at a certain interval. The gap between adjacent stop 51 forms a snap-fit ​​groove 52 for embedding the wheel or frame components of the electric bicycle 2, such as tires, pedals, or support rods.

[0034] When the electric bicycle 2 is placed, its wheels or frame are engaged in the locking groove 52, and the stops 51 restrict lateral movement from both sides to prevent slippage due to riding bumps. The stops 51 can be made of high-friction materials such as silicone or rubber to enhance grip. Furthermore, sliding or detachable stops 51 can be used to dynamically adapt to different bicycle sizes.

[0035] Reference Figures 4 to 5 In another embodiment of the present invention, the accommodating structure includes a cover 6, which together with the rear end 12 of the vehicle forms an accommodating cavity 61, and the charging port 3 is located inside the accommodating cavity 61.

[0036] Understandably, this embodiment presents an alternative design for the housing structure. The cover 6 is a fixed outer shell that connects to the rear end 12 of the vehicle to form a semi-enclosed space. The housing cavity 61 is used to accommodate the electric bicycle 2, providing both protection and concealment. The charging port 3 is located inside the housing cavity 61, allowing the electric bicycle 2 to be directly connected for charging after it is placed inside, avoiding the exposure of the interface to environmental factors such as rain and dust.

[0037] The accommodating cavity 61 can be integrated with a foldable bracket or an adaptive clamping mechanism to automatically secure the wheels / frame. Alternatively, the accommodating cavity 61 can be located inside the trunk specifically for storing bicycles, with the charging port 3 correspondingly located inside the vehicle. This solution is suitable for cars with ample rear space.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 In another embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the cover 6 is provided with an opening 62.

[0039] Understandably, the opening 62 is located at the bottom of the cover 6 and can be circular, strip-shaped, or mesh-like, depending on functional requirements such as drainage, heat dissipation, or cable routing. Its core function is to drain water and prevent accumulation, avoiding rainwater or car wash water from remaining in the cavity 61, allowing it to flow out naturally through the opening 62. When the electric bicycle 2 is charging, it may generate heat; the opening 62 promotes air convection to prevent the cavity from overheating. If the charging port 3 is located outside the cavity 61, after the user places the electric bicycle 2 into the cavity 61, the charging cable can be led out through the opening 62 at the bottom of the cover 6 to an external socket.

[0040] This utility model's technical solution integrates electric bicycle mounting and charging technologies, achieving efficient collaboration between transportation vehicles. It upgrades the traditional single bicycle transportation function into an integrated "transportation plus charging" solution: a dedicated housing structure is set at the rear end 12, using either an open fixing rod 5, a stop block 51, or a semi-enclosed cover 6 cavity to ensure stable bicycle mounting while allowing for charging during the journey via an integrated charging interface. The open frame's snap-fit ​​slot 52 adapts to different vehicle models, and the semi-enclosed housing cavity 61, combined with the bottom opening 62, provides waterproofing and heat dissipation, balancing protection and practicality. An intelligent electronic control system manages the charging process, and details such as the dust cover 31 ensure interface safety. Compared to traditional solutions, this technology effectively solves the range anxiety of electric bicycles for long-distance travel, improves loading and unloading convenience, and enhances driving safety through structural optimization. Its flexible design meets the needs of daily commuting and adapts to the complex environments of outdoor travel, demonstrating the enormous potential of new energy vehicles and micro-mobility tools in energy sharing and functional integration, providing reliable technical support for future multi-modal green travel.
