Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-9 This utility model discloses a water bottle holder, including a water bottle holder body 1, which includes a water bottle connector 11 mounted on a water bottle and a frame connector 12 mounted on a vehicle frame.

[0030] The kettle connector 11 has a magnet assembly 115 inside and a buckle 114 located on one side of the magnet assembly 115. The frame connector 12 has a magnet assembly 126 that is magnetically connected to the magnet assembly 115 and a slot 124 that is movably engaged with the buckle 114.

[0031] Specifically, the first magnet assembly 115 includes two magnets with opposite magnetic poles, and the distance between the two magnets is greater than the length of the buckle 114. The second magnet assembly 126 includes two magnets with opposite magnetic poles, and the distance between the two magnets is the same as the distance between the two magnets in the first magnet assembly 115. The kettle connector 11 includes a connector body 111. The first magnet assembly 115 is embedded inside the connector body 111, and the number of the first magnet assembly 115 is not less than one set. A boss 112 is provided at the bottom of the connector body 111. The frame connector 12 includes a bracket 121. A frame fixing plate 122 is provided at the bottom of the bracket 121. The frame fixing plate 122 and the bracket 121 pass through each other. The bracket 121 is fixed to the bicycle frame by screws and frame fixing plate 122. The second set of magnets 126 is embedded in the bracket 121 and the number of the second set of magnets 126 is not less than one set. The top of the bracket 121 is provided with a sliding groove 123 that fits into the boss 112. The slots 124 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the sliding groove 123 and the number of slots 124 on both sides of the inner wall of the sliding groove 123 is not less than two. The connector body 111 is provided with at least two limiting grooves 113 inside. The buckles 114 are provided inside the limiting grooves 113 and the number of buckles 114 inside the limiting grooves 113 is not less than two. A spring 116 is provided between the two buckles 114.

[0032] In this implementation plan, please refer to Figure 9After the water bottle connector 11 is assembled with the frame connector 12, the first magnet assembly 115 and the second magnet assembly 126 are opposite each other and stably magnetically attracted. When the water bottle is taken out, the water bottle exerts a force on the water bottle connector 11 to slide upward on the slide groove 123, causing the first magnet assembly 115 and the second magnet assembly 126 to be offset by the body of one magnet by about 15mm. This makes the magnets in the first magnet assembly 115 and the second magnet assembly 126 with repulsive magnetic poles face each other. At this time, the buckle 114 slides out completely from the inside of the slot 124. The repulsive force of the magnets means that the user does not need to continue pulling the water bottle. The magnets inside the water bottle connector 11 are pushed by the repulsive force, which directly drives the water bottle connector 11 out of the inside of the frame connector 12. The process of taking out the water bottle is simpler, faster, less strenuous, and more convenient to use. When the water bottle is put back in after use, there is no need to remove the water bottle connector 11 from the frame connector. One end of connector 12 slides in, directly aligning the water bottle connector 11 with the frame connector 12. The attraction generated by the opposing magnet groups 115 and 126 directly pulls the water bottle connector 11 into the interior of the frame connector 12. During this process, the inclined surface of the buckle 114 abuts against the inclined surface of the guide block 125, causing the buckle 114 to retract and compress the spring 116 to avoid it. When the boss 112 is fully embedded in the interior of the slide groove 123, the buckle 114 passes over the guide block 125 and, under the action of the spring 116's rebound force, is locked into the interior of the slot 124. The flat surface on the buckle 114 contacts the flat surface of the inner wall of the slot 124, making it impossible to separate the water bottle connector 11 from the frame connector 12 by directly pulling the water bottle. In conjunction with the magnet groups 115 and 126, the assembly stability of the water bottle connector 11 and the frame connector 12 is ensured.

[0033] In this implementation plan, please refer to Figure 9 The magnets in magnet group 115 and magnet group 2126 are both strong magnets. The design of opposite magnetic poles of the two magnets in magnet group 115 and magnet group 2126 makes the magnetic attraction more stable when magnet group 115 and magnet group 2126 are in a relative state. The repulsive force generated by the two magnets in magnet group 115 and magnet group 2126 makes it difficult for the water bottle connector 11 to slide inside the frame connector 12. Except when the user pulls it manually, it further ensures the assembly stability of the water bottle connector 11 and the frame connector 12.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom of the buckle 114 on the side away from the spring 116 is a slope, and the two ends of the buckle 114 on the side away from the spring 116 are arc surfaces. The top of the slide groove 123 is provided with guide inclined blocks 125 that are the same number as the slots 124 and correspond one-to-one.

[0035] In this embodiment, the design of the inclined surface on the buckle 114, in conjunction with the inclined surface on the guide block 125, allows the buckle 114 to automatically contact the guide block 125 under the magnetic attraction of the first magnet group 115 and the second magnet group 126 when the buckle 114 is facing the guide block 125. Then, the buckle 114 compresses the spring 116, retracts to avoid, and springs back to reset. This makes it more convenient to use. The arc-shaped surfaces at both ends of one side of the buckle 114 make it easier for the user to pull the kettle connector 11 when separating it. When the kettle applies a force to the kettle connector 11 to slide upward on the slide groove 123, the arc-shaped surface at one end of the buckle 114 contacts the inner wall of the slot 124, causing the buckle 114 to compress the spring 116 to retract to avoid. When the first magnet group 115 and the second magnet group 126 are offset by one magnet, the buckle 114 slides out completely from the inside of the slot 124.

[0036] Specifically, the connector body 111 is provided with a cover plate 117 and an anti-slip pad 118 on the side away from the boss 112.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cover plate 117 is fixed to the connector body 111 with screws. The anti-slip pad 118 can be made of silicone. The anti-slip pad 118 can reduce the wear of the kettle connector 11 on the surface of the kettle and reduce the movement of the kettle connector 11 on the surface of the kettle, thus ensuring the connection stability between the kettle connector 11 and the kettle.

[0038] Specifically, the connector body 111 has at least two hooks 1112 on both sides, and the two hooks 1112 are fitted with a strap 119. The connector body 111 also has a base 1111 at one end.

[0039] In this embodiment, the hook 1112 provides a buckle for attaching the strap 119 to the water bottle. The strap 119 is made of silicone. The hook 1112 makes it convenient for users to replace different types of straps 119 to attach the water bottle, and also makes it convenient for users to replace water bottles of different sizes. The strap 119 can be a combination of commercially available shoelaces and a ratchet device for tightening the shoelaces. The shoelaces can be replaced with nylon rope. The ratchet device controls the nylon rope to tighten the water bottle, making it more convenient to use. The base 1111 can support the bottom of the water bottle.

[0040] In summary, this water bottle cage, with its specially designed magnetic arrangement and automatic spring-loaded buckle 114, allows for easy installation of the water bottle connector 11. Simply align the water bottle connector 11 with the frame connector 12 for magnetic attraction and engagement, making blind operation more convenient. To separate the water bottle connector 11, the user only needs to pull it upwards slightly, and the repulsive force of the magnets will automatically push the water bottle connector 11 out of the frame connector 12. Retrieving the water bottle is more effortless and easier, with simple and quick steps. Furthermore, this magnetic arrangement makes the assembly of the water bottle connector 11 and the frame connector 12 more stable, less prone to shaking, and safer to use, showing broad application prospects.
