[0016] The utility model will be further explained in detail in connection with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0017] As Figure 1 shown, a battery tube assembly of an electric bicycle comprises a tube body 1 and a battery assembly 2 detachably arranged in the tube body 1, the tube body 1 is a hollow structure, a first tube joint 3 is arranged at one end of the tube body 1, and a second tube joint 4 is arranged at the other end of the tube body 1.

[0018] In the embodiment, the first tube joint 3 and the tube body 1 and the second tube joint 4 and the tube body 1 are connected by welding; the welding connection ensures the tightness and stability of the connection between the tube body 1 and the first tube joint 3 and the tube body 1 and the second tube joint 4, and reduces the connection loosening problem caused by vibration and other factors during the driving of the electric bicycle.

[0019] As Figure 2 and Figure 7 shown, a first stop piece 5 is arranged at one end of the tube body 1 close to the first tube joint 3, a second stop piece 6 is arranged at one end of the tube body 1 close to the second tube joint 4, and the first stop piece 5, the second stop piece 6 and the tube body 1 form a battery compartment 10; the tube body 1 comprises a left side wall 11, a right side wall 12, a top wall 13 and a bottom wall 14 connected to each other, and a limiting convex strip 131 for limiting and fixing the first stop piece 5 and the second stop piece 6 is formed on the inner wall of the top wall 13 of the tube body 1; the first stop piece 5 and the tube body 1 and the second stop piece 6 and the tube body 1 are fastened by screws; when the first stop piece 5 and the second stop piece 6 are installed, the limiting convex strip 131 can help quick positioning, shorten the installation time and improve the production efficiency.

[0020] As Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, in order to match the overall structural design of the electric bicycle and improve the aesthetic effect, the bottom wall 14 is designed as an arc shape, and an inner bottom wall 15 is further formed between the left side wall 11, the right side wall 12 and the bottom wall 14. The inner bottom wall 15 and the arc-shaped bottom wall 14 enclose a wiring cavity 16. Due to the arc-shaped bottom wall 14, the wiring cavity 16 can have a relatively large space, and the independent wiring cavity 16 provides a special passage for the wires and the like, making the installation, arrangement and maintenance of the wires more convenient. When performing line maintenance or replacement, the line position can be quickly and accurately found, reducing the difficulty of troubleshooting caused by line clutter, reducing maintenance cost and time. At the same time, separating the line from the battery assembly 2 can also reduce the influence of the line on the battery assembly 2 and improve the reliability of the entire system.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3 , an opening 101 is formed in the left side wall 11 of the pipe body 1 for the battery assembly 2 to enter and exit the battery compartment 10. In this embodiment, the opening 101 extends to the top wall 13 to form a top notch 17 for facilitating the entry and exit of the battery assembly. The top notch 17 provides a wider passage for the battery assembly 2 to enter and exit the battery compartment 10. Compared with the case where only the side wall opening 101 is provided, the provision of the top notch 17 makes the operation space larger when the battery assembly 2 is installed and disassembled, reduces the installation difficulty, and improves the installation and disassembly efficiency.

[0022] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6 , a plurality of positioning assemblies 20 are arranged between the inner wall of the pipe body 1 on the side opposite to the opening 101 and the battery assembly 2. In this embodiment, the battery assembly 2 includes a shell 21, and the pipe body 1 and the shell 21 are both made of extruded profiles through mechanical processing. The positioning assembly 20 includes a positioning groove 201 formed on the inner wall of the right side wall 12 of the pipe body 1 and a positioning protrusion 202 formed on the shell 21. The cross sections of the positioning groove 201 and the positioning protrusion 202 are both arc-shaped. Through the cooperation of the positioning groove 201 and the positioning protrusion 202, the movement range of the battery assembly 2 in the pipe body 1 is limited, so that it can only be installed and fixed in a specific direction, ensuring the positional accuracy of the battery assembly 2 in the pipe body 1 and avoiding the influence of the displacement of the battery assembly 2 on the normal use of the electric bicycle. Due to the guiding effect of the positioning groove 201 and the positioning protrusion 202, the operator can more quickly and accurately install the battery assembly into the pipe body during installation, improving the installation efficiency.

[0023] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a first end cap 7 is provided at one end of the housing 21, and a second end cap 8 is provided at the other end of the housing 21. The first end cap 7 and the first abutment 5 are engaged by a bevel. One or more limiting grooves 72 are provided on the first end cap 7. In this embodiment, there are two limiting grooves 72. A limiting protrusion 51 that engages with the limiting groove 72 is provided on the side of the first abutment 5 near the first end cap 7. The limiting protrusion 51 is engaged into the limiting groove 72. The bevel engagement facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the battery assembly. The engagement of the limiting protrusion 51 into the limiting groove 72 increases the connection strength and stability between the first end cap 7 and the first abutment 5. During the operation of the electric bicycle, even if subjected to external forces such as vibration and bumps, relative displacement between the first end cap 7 and the first abutment 5 can be effectively prevented, ensuring the stability of the battery assembly 2 in the battery compartment 10.

[0024] A handle receiving groove 71 is provided on the first end cap 7, and a handle 9 is rotatably provided in the handle receiving groove 71. When the battery assembly 2 is located in the tube body 1, the handle 9 is located in the handle receiving groove 71. In this embodiment, there are two handle receiving grooves 71. A rotating shaft hole 73 perpendicular to the handle receiving groove 71 is provided on the first end cap 7, and a rotating shaft 74 is provided in the rotating shaft hole 73. The rotating shaft 74 passes through both handle receiving grooves 71, and the handle 9 rotates around the rotating shaft 74. The handle 9 provides an easy gripping part for the operator. When moving the battery assembly 2 or performing installation and disassembly operations, it is easier to apply force by gripping the handle 9, reducing the difficulty and labor intensity of operation, and making the process of moving and installing / disassembling the battery assembly 2 more convenient. When the battery assembly 2 is located in the tube body 1, the handle 9 can be rotated into the handle receiving groove 71, avoiding interference between the handle 9 and other parts when the battery assembly 2 is installed. In addition, after the battery assembly 2 is removed, the battery assembly 2 can be lifted by rotating the handle 9, which facilitates the movement of the battery assembly 2.

[0025] The second end cap 8 has an outwardly extending tapered portion 81, and the second stop 6 has a tapered hole 61 that can mate with the tapered portion 81. The second end cap 8 has a female connector 82 that extends into the tapered portion 81. The second stop 6 has a male connector 62 that extends out of the tapered hole 61. When the battery assembly 2 is installed, the tapered portion 81 is inserted into the tapered hole 61, so that the female connector 82 in the tapered portion 81 is connected to the male connector 62 in the tapered hole 61.

[0026] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, a battery locking lock 75 is also provided on the first end cover 7. The battery locking lock 75 includes a retractable locking tongue 76 and a limiting hole 151 is provided on the inner bottom wall 15. The locking tongue 76 can extend into the limiting hole 151. When the battery assembly 2 is installed into the battery compartment 10, the locking tongue 76 of the battery locking lock 75 can be controlled by the key to extend into the limiting hole 151, so that the battery assembly 2 is limited in the battery compartment 10, preventing the battery assembly 2 from falling out of the battery compartment 10 during the electric bicycle's operation. When it is necessary to remove the battery assembly 2, the locking tongue 76 of the battery locking lock 75 can be controlled by the key to retract into the battery locking lock 75, releasing the limitation between the battery assembly 2 and the battery compartment 10.

[0027] The above structure allows the battery assembly 2 to be installed and removed from the side of the tube 1 by opening an opening in the left side wall 11 of the tube body 1, which is more convenient than installation and removal from the bottom. After the battery assembly 2 is installed in the tube body 1, the bottom wall of the tube body 1 provides support for the battery assembly 2, making it less likely for the battery assembly 2 to fall out of the tube body 1 and be damaged. The handle 9 provided on the first end cap 7 provides an easy gripping point for the operator, which makes it less likely for the battery assembly 2 to fall out and be damaged during installation and removal. In addition, after the battery assembly 2 is removed, it can be lifted by rotating the handle 9, making it easy to move the battery assembly 2.
