[0032] The technical means adopted by the present utility model to achieve the intended utility model purposes are further explained below in cooperation with the drawings and the preferred embodiment of the present utility model.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , the bicycle electrically-controlled kickstand lock of the present utility model is used to be installed on the frame of a bicycle, and preferably is arranged at the position on the frame corresponding to the pedal shaft, thus the kickstand 30 is preferably the kickstand of the center column, and the kickstand is a double kickstand, but is not limited thereto, and can also be installed at other positions of the frame, such as the wheel shaft of the wheel, and the kickstand 30 can also be a single kickstand, or even a U-shaped kickstand.

[0034] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the bicycle electrically-controlled kickstand lock comprises an electronic controller 10, at least one locking member 20 and a kickstand 30, and preferably further comprises a housing 40, a frame fixing seat 50 and a spring assembly 60. In the first embodiment, the number of locking members 20 is one, and in the second embodiment, the number of locking members 20 is two.

[0035] In the present embodiment, the aforementioned housing 40 covers the electronic controller 10 and part of the locking member 20, thereby achieving the functions of dustproof and waterproof of the main components, such as avoiding the influence of sand and stones on the transmission of the electronic controller 10 and the locking member 20, and the like.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the electronic controller 10 (housing 40) is arranged on the frame fixing seat 50, the kickstand 30 is pivotally arranged on the frame fixing seat 50, and the frame fixing seat 50 is used to be installed on the frame, thereby the entire bicycle electrically-controlled kickstand lock is modularized, and only the present utility model needs to be directly installed on the frame, without the need to additionally install the electronic controller 10 and the kickstand 30 individually. However, the electronic controller 10 and the kickstand 30 can also be individually and independently installed on the frame, or the electronic controller 10 and the locking member 20 can be installed on an existing bicycle with a kickstand 30 to jointly form the present utility model.

[0037] In addition, the frame fixing seat 50 can be a single component or a combination of multiple components.

[0038] As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the aforementioned electronic controller 10 has a Controller Area Network Bus (CAN bus) and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) system in a preferred embodiment, and can also carry a Global Positioning System (GPS). In addition, the electronic controller 10 can be controlled by wired or wireless means, preferably the electronic controller 10 can be controlled by the APP of the mobile phone.

[0039] As shown in Figures 3 to 6 , the aforementioned locking member 20 is connected to the electronic controller 10 and can be moved or rotated under the control of the electronic controller 10, and can be moved or rotated to an unlocked state and a locked state.

[0040] In the first embodiment, the locking member 20 switches between the unlocked state and the locked state by moving. The bicycle electrically controlled kickstand lock further comprises a threaded sleeve 21 which is screwed onto the outside of the locking member 20, preferably the threaded sleeve 21 is located inside the housing 40 and is limited by the housing 40 to only rotate and not move, part of the locking member 20 is arranged in the housing 40 and is limited by the housing 40 to only move and not rotate. The electronic controller 10 can rotate the threaded sleeve 21, and move the locking member 20 by rotating the threaded sleeve 21.

[0041] Preferably, the electronic controller 10 is a motor (preferably a servo motor or a stepper motor) and rotates the threaded sleeve 21 through a gear 11, the output shaft of the electronic controller 10 is connected to the gear 11, and the outer wall surface of the threaded sleeve 21 is formed with a ring gear surface 211, the ring gear surface 211 is engaged with the gear, thereby the electronic controller 10 can rotate the threaded sleeve 21 by rotating the gear 11. However, the electronic controller 10 can also rotate the threaded sleeve 21 in other ways, such as through a belt pulley and the like. In addition, the electronic controller 10 can also move the locking member 20 in other ways other than the threaded sleeve 21, such as through the cooperation of gears and racks, or the electronic controller 10 is a linear motor or a cylinder, at this time a part of the linear motor or the cylinder can be regarded as the locking member 20, so it can also be.

[0042] As shown in Figures 5 to 8As shown, the aforementioned kickstand 30 is rotatable to have a down state and a kick-up state. The "down state" refers to a state in which the kickstand 30 can rest against the ground to support the bicycle. The "kick-up state" refers to a state in which the kickstand 30 is kicked up so as not to hinder the riding of the bicycle.

[0043] When the kickstand 30 is in the down state, when the locking member 20 is moved or rotated to the locked state, the locking member 20 penetrates or abuts against the kickstand 30, so that the kickstand 30 cannot be rotated to the kick-up state (as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7 ). In the present embodiment, the kickstand 30 has a locking hole 31, and after the locking member 20 is moved to the locked state, the locking member 20 penetrates the locking hole 31 so that the kickstand 30 cannot be rotated. However, the locking member 20 can also be moved or rotated to abut against the side of the kickstand 30 to prevent the kickstand 30 from being rotated back to the kick-up state.

[0044] When the kickstand 30 is in the down state, when the locking member 20 is moved or rotated to the unlocked state, the locking member 20 allows the kickstand 30 to be rotated to the kick-up state (as shown in Figure 6 and Figure 8 ). In the present embodiment, the locking member 20 is retracted and exits the locking hole 31 of the kickstand 30, so that the kickstand 30 can be rotated back to the kick-up state.

[0045] As shown in Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 , the aforementioned elastic assembly 60 is connected to the kickstand 30 and causes the kickstand 30 to tend to be rotated to the down state. When the kickstand 30 is in the down state, the angle and position of the kickstand 30 are just right for the locking member 20 to penetrate or abut against the kickstand 30. Preferably, the locking hole 31 of the kickstand 30 in the down state is aligned with the locking member 20, so that the locking member 20 can penetrate the locking hole 31 when it is extended.

[0046] As shown in Figures 3 to 6 , in the present embodiment, a kickstand sensor 70 and a locking member sensor 80 are further provided, and the kickstand sensor 70 and the locking member sensor 80 are electrically connected to the electronic controller 10.

[0047] The kickstand sensor 70 is used to sense whether the kickstand 30 is in the down state. In the present embodiment, the kickstand 30 is provided with a kickstand magnet 71 (as shown in Figure 3 ), and the electronic controller 10 or the housing 40 is provided with a down sensor 72 (as shown in Figure 4 ). When the kickstand 30 is in the down state, the down sensor 72 senses the kickstand magnet 71, and the electronic controller 10 knows that the kickstand 30 is in the down state. Conversely, when the down sensor 72 does not sense the kickstand magnet 71, the electronic controller 10 can know that the kickstand 30 has been kicked up.

[0048] The lock sensor 80 is used to sense whether the lock 20 is in the locked state, and preferably also senses whether it is in the unlocked state. In the present embodiment, the lock sensor 80 senses the position of the lock 20 to determine whether the lock 20 is in the locked state, but the lock sensor 80 can also determine whether the lock 20 is in the locked state by other information, such as the number of rotations of the electronic controller 10, the gear 11 or the threaded sleeve 21, etc. Preferably, the lock 20 is provided with a lock magnet 81 (as shown in Figure 4 ), and the electronic controller 10 is provided with a locked sensor 82 and an unlocked sensor 83 (as shown in Figure 4 ). When the lock 20 is in the locked state, the locked sensor 82 senses the lock magnet 81 and the electronic controller 10 knows that the lock 20 is in the locked state. When the lock 20 is in the unlocked state, the unlocked sensor 83 senses the lock magnet 81 and the electronic controller 10 knows that the lock 20 is in the unlocked state.

[0049] The locked sensor 82, the unlocked sensor 83 and the lowered sensor 72 are preferably Hall sensors, but the specific structure and installation position of the lock sensor 80 and the kickstand sensor 70 can be arbitrarily changed.

[0050] Please refer to Figures 9 to 16 , the second embodiment of the present application is similar to the first embodiment described above, the main difference is that the second embodiment has two locks 20.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 11 to 13 , the two locks 20 are respectively located on opposite sides of the electronic controller 10, and the kickstand 30 has two fixing portions 32, which are respectively located on opposite sides of the electronic controller 10 and correspond to the two locks 20, and each lock 20 is inserted or abuts against the corresponding fixing portion 32 to prevent the kickstand 30 from being rotated to the kicked-up state. In this way, the two locks 20 can be respectively inserted or abut against the two positions of the kickstand 30 on the two sides of the electronic controller 10, thereby achieving the effect of strengthening the fixation of the kickstand 30. Preferably, each fixing portion 32 is formed with a lock hole 31 for inserting the corresponding lock 20.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 11 to 14As shown, in the second embodiment, the two locking members 20 are also switched between the unlocked state and the locked state by moving, and the moving directions of the two locking members 20 are opposite directions on the same axis. The electronic controller 10 is provided with a rotating track member 12, and the two locking members 20 are slidably engaged with the rotating track member 12, but the two locking members 20 can only move linearly but cannot move in an arc shape. The electronic controller 10 can rotate the rotating track member 12, and the two locking members 20 are moved in opposite directions by rotating the rotating track member 12. Preferably, the rotating track member 12 is provided with two arc-shaped tracks 121, and when the rotating track member 12 is rotated, the two locking members 20 slide along the two tracks 121, respectively. Since the two locking members 20 are limited by the housing 40 and cannot move in an arc shape along the tracks 121, the locking members 20 will move linearly outward or inward along the tracks 121. However, the moving direction of the electronic controller 10 to drive the two locking members 20 is not limited to this, for example, the rotating track member 12 has protruding tracks and the locking members 20 have matching grooves, or the electronic controller 10 drives two racks through a gear, or a threaded sleeve has opposite threads and simultaneously sleeves two locking members 20, or the electronic controller 10 has two output sources, such as two linear motors to drive the two locking members 20, etc.

[0053] In addition, in the second embodiment, the locking member sensor 80 judges whether the two locking members 20 are in the locked state by sensing the angle of the rotating track member 12. Preferably, the rotating track member 12 is provided with a locking member magnet 81, and the electronic controller 10 is provided with a locked sensor 82. When the locking member 20 is in the locked state, the rotating track member 12 is rotated to a specific angle so that the locked sensor 82 is sensed, and thus the electronic controller 10 knows that the locking member 20 is in the locked state.

[0054] Preferably, in the first embodiment and the second embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figures 13 to 14 , the frame fixing seat 50 includes a positioning hole 51, which is specifically provided at the bottom of the frame fixing seat 50. When the kickstand is in the lowered state, the position of the locking hole 31 of the kickstand 30 corresponds to the position of the positioning hole 51 of the frame fixing seat 50, specifically, they are aligned with each other. The locking member 20 is a rod, and when the locking member 20 is switched from the unlocked state to the locked state, the locking member 20 first passes through the positioning hole 51 and then penetrates into the locking hole 31, so that the kickstand 30 cannot be rotated to the kicked-up state, and the locking is completed.

[0055] In addition, when the kickstand 30 is rotated towards the lowered state until the kickstand 30 abuts against the frame fixing seat 50, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 15As shown, the abutting surface AS of the kickstand 30 abuts against the frame fixing seat 50, at this time, the position of the locking hole 31 of the kickstand 30 corresponds to the position of the positioning hole 51 of the frame fixing seat 50, the position of the abutting surface AS can be at any position of the kickstand 30, as long as it can abut against the frame fixing seat 50 when the position of the locking hole 31 corresponds to the position of the positioning hole 51.

[0056] The utility model discloses a bicycle with the function of anti-theft by using the kickstand 30 that the bicycle has, when the kickstand 30 is in the state of being put down, if the locking piece 20 moves to the locking hole 31 of the kickstand 30, the kickstand 30 cannot be kicked up and will be in the state of being put down all the time.

[0057] The utility model discloses a bicycle with the function of anti-theft by using the kickstand 30 that the bicycle has, when the kickstand 30 is in the state of being put down, if the locking piece 20 moves to the locking hole 31 of the kickstand 30, the kickstand 30 cannot be kicked up and will be in the state of being put down all the time.

[0058] In addition, the movement or rotation of the locking piece 20 is controlled by the electronic controller 10, so no matter how many angles the thief knocks the utility model, the position or angle of the locking piece 20 cannot be easily changed, so the kickstand 30 cannot be kicked up. In the first embodiment, the locking piece 20 is screwed into the threaded sleeve 21, so no matter how it is knocked, the locking piece 20 cannot be moved. In the second embodiment, the rotating track piece 12 needs to be rotated to make the rotating track piece 12 push the locking piece 20, so no matter how it is knocked, the locking piece 20 cannot be pushed, and the rotating track piece 12 cannot be rotated by knocking. Therefore, the utility model can achieve the effect of effective anti-theft.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form, although the utility model has been disclosed as above with a preferred embodiment, however, it is not intended to limit the utility model, anyone with ordinary knowledge in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical content to make equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes, but as long as it does not deviate from the technical solution of the utility model, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification of the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the utility model are still within the scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
