Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric bicycle technology, and in particular to an integrated structure of a rear guard bar and flat fork assembly and an electric bicycle. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bicycles have become a widely used daily mode of transportation. The frame, as the core structural framework of the entire vehicle, supports the frame and connects various components. As one of the main components of an electric bicycle, its quality directly affects user safety. Its materials, manufacturing processes, and design collectively determine the vehicle's safety, durability, and functional expandability. From basic support to intelligent integration, the frame's role spans the entire lifecycle of the vehicle, requiring performance optimization through a combination of materials science, mechanical design, and manufacturing technology. The main frame is typically constructed from metal tubing or composite materials, formed through welding or die-casting processes. It includes key components such as the main frame, rear swingarm, and rear bumper, forming a complete mechanical load-bearing system. The frame's structural form should meet its requirements in terms of assemblability, rigidity, and strength. The rear swingarm assembly is the main component connecting the rear wheel. The rear bumper, also known as the rear guard or rear anti-collision beam, is a metal protective device installed at the rear of the electric bicycle and is an important part of the vehicle's protection system. Adding a rear bumper structure to the rear swingarm assembly provides protection for the rear wheel, improving driving safety.
[0003] In existing technology, the rear swingarm assembly and the rear bumper structure are two separate parts. The rear bumper is installed and welded onto the rear swingarm assembly. The rear swingarm assembly and the rear bumper have different tubing shapes and are assembled and stacked together. Due to the non-integrated molding design, the overall structural strength is poor, posing a driving safety hazard. In addition, this design structure has complex connections, multiple tubing specifications, many processes, and low production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing an integrated structure for the rear guard bar and flat fork assembly, and an electric bicycle.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] In a first aspect, a rear bumper swingarm assembly integrated structure is provided, including a connector and a left swingarm tube and a right swingarm tube disposed on the connector. The structure is characterized by further including a rear bumper, with the front ends of the left and right swingarm tubes symmetrically connected to the left and right ends of the connector, and the left and right ends of the rear bumper respectively connected to the rear ends of the left and right swingarm tubes. The rear bumper, left swingarm tube, and right swingarm tube are an integrated structure with the same tube shape. A left fork hook and a right fork hook are symmetrically disposed on the left and right swingarm tubes for connecting to the rear wheel.
[0007] Furthermore, a rear mudguard mounting portion is provided on the left and right horizontal fork tubes respectively, and the rear mudguard mounting portion includes a rear mudguard mounting hole.
[0008] Furthermore, several wire harness fixing rings are provided on the left or right flat fork tube.
[0009] Furthermore, the front ends of the left and right flat fork tubes are respectively provided with a first frame connection part and a second frame connection part, and the first frame connection part and the second frame connection part are rotatably connected to the frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the left and right forks are respectively provided with a first U-shaped groove and a second U-shaped groove for mounting the rear wheel.
[0011] Furthermore, the left and right horizontal fork tubes are respectively provided with a first shock absorber connecting plate and a second shock absorber connecting plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the first shock absorber connecting plate and the second shock absorber connecting plate are symmetrically arranged above the left fork hook and the right fork hook, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the first shock absorber connecting plate and the second shock absorber connecting plate are respectively provided with a first hook bolt and a second hook bolt for connecting the rear shock absorber.
[0014] Furthermore, a brake lever is provided on the left fork hook for connecting to the braking system.
[0015] In a second aspect, an electric bicycle is provided, characterized in that: it includes an integrated structure of a frame and the rear bumper and fork assembly described in the first aspect, wherein the frame and the integrated structure of the rear bumper and fork assembly are connected.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] The connection between the rear bumper and the swingarm assembly has been optimized, achieving an integrated structure. This significantly improves the strength of both components in the event of a vehicle collision, meeting vehicle safety requirements. The overall structure is simpler, reducing material specifications and manufacturing processes, thus improving production efficiency. The product also boasts a more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0028] Preferably, the left fork hook 5 and the right fork hook 6 are respectively provided with a first U-shaped groove 12 and a second U-shaped groove 13 for mounting the rear wheel. The rear wheel is connected by engaging the first U-shaped groove 12 and the second U-shaped groove 13, and the rear wheel axle is engaged in the first U-shaped groove 12 and the second U-shaped groove 13 to achieve a rotatable connection between the rear wheel and the integrated structure of the rear guard bar flat fork assembly.
[0029] A first shock absorber connecting plate 14 and a second shock absorber connecting plate 15 are respectively provided on the left swingarm tube 2 and the right swingarm tube 3. The first shock absorber connecting plate 14 and the second shock absorber connecting plate 15 are symmetrically arranged above the left fork hook 5 and the right fork hook 6, respectively. A first fork hook bolt 16 and a second fork hook bolt 17 are respectively provided on the first shock absorber connecting plate 14 and the second shock absorber connecting plate 15 for connecting the rear shock absorber. After the integrated structure of the rear guard bar swingarm assembly is installed on the frame body, the rear shock absorber is rotatably connected to the first fork hook bolt 16 and the second fork hook bolt 17 to achieve the connection and cooperation between the integrated structure of the rear guard bar swingarm assembly and the rear shock absorber.
[0030] The left fork hook 5 is equipped with a brake lever 18 for connecting to the braking system. The brake lever 18 cooperates with the U-shaped limiting groove reserved in the drum brake cover to limit the rotation of the drum brake.
