Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to electric bicycles, and more particularly to a size-compatible internal battery separate installation structure. Background Technology

[0002] Electric-assisted bicycles typically have the battery built inside the downtube of the frame. The downtube has a cutout for battery installation, through which the battery is installed. A battery mounting bracket is welded inside the downtube to connect and secure the battery. Finally, a battery cover is used to cover the cutout to protect the battery and prevent external contaminants from entering.

[0003] In traditional electric-assist bicycle structures, battery installation generally falls into two categories. One involves externally mounting the battery above the downtube of the frame, with two battery mounting brackets welded to the top of the downtube. The battery is then secured to the mounting brackets via clips. The second method involves concealing the battery inside the downtube. This is achieved by inserting the battery through an opening at the top of the downtube, which is then covered by a battery cover. This method offers some degree of internal concealment. The battery cover is a separate cover, distinct from the battery body. Battery support plates are welded to both ends of the downtube opening. With this internally concealed battery installation method, the battery capacity determines the battery length design, meaning that the downtube size of an electric-assist bicycle can only correspond to one battery of a fixed capacity. This results in a one-to-one matching between the battery and the electric-assist bicycle, requiring the development of separate molds and leading to higher manufacturing costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an internal battery split installation structure that can accommodate batteries of two different lengths and save on the development cost of frame molds, in order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A size-compatible internal battery split mounting structure includes a frame downtube, a battery, a front mounting plate, and a rear mounting plate. The frame downtube has a battery receiving cavity. A front support plate and a rear support plate are fixed to the bottom of the battery receiving cavity. The front mounting plate and the front support plate are fixedly connected by screws. The front mounting plate has two front mating holes near its front end, with two front bolts of the battery corresponding to and fixedly connected to the two front mating holes. The rear mounting plate has two rear mating holes near its rear end, with two rear bolts of the battery corresponding to and fixedly connected to the two rear mating holes. The rear mounting plate also has two first rear mounting holes near its front end. The mounting plate has two second rear fixing holes distributed to the left and right near the center. The rear support plate has two third rear fixing holes, with the first and third rear fixing holes corresponding one-to-one. The rear support plate has two fourth rear fixing holes near the front end, with the second and fourth rear fixing holes corresponding one-to-one. When the battery is a first-length battery, the rear mounting plate and the rear support plate are fixedly connected by screws passing through the first and third rear fixing holes. When the battery is a second-length battery, the rear mounting plate and the rear support plate are fixedly connected by screws passing through the second and fourth rear fixing holes. The first length is greater than the second length.

[0007] Preferably, the front fixing plate is provided with two first front fixing holes, and the front support plate is provided with two second front fixing holes. The first front fixing holes and the second front fixing holes correspond one-to-one, and the front fixing plate and the front support plate are fixedly connected by screws passing through the first front fixing holes and the second front fixing holes.

[0008] Preferably, both the front fixing plate and the rear fixing plate are bent in a "Z" shape.

[0009] Preferably, it includes a battery cover that covers the battery receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the lower tube of the vehicle frame.

[0010] In the size-compatible internal battery split mounting structure disclosed in this utility model, both the front support plate and the rear support plate are fixed to the bottom of the battery receiving cavity. The front fixing plate and the front support plate are fixedly connected by screws. For batteries of different lengths, when the battery is a long battery, the first rear fixing hole on the rear fixing plate is aligned with the third rear fixing hole on the rear support plate, and the rear fixing plate and the rear support plate are fixed with screws. Then, the battery is fixedly connected to the front fixing plate and the rear fixing plate using front and rear bolts, thus completing the battery fixing. When the battery is a short battery, the second rear fixing hole on the rear fixing plate is aligned with the fourth rear fixing hole on the rear support plate, and the rear fixing plate and the rear support plate are fixed with screws. Then, the battery is fixedly connected to the front fixing plate and the rear fixing plate using front and rear bolts, thus completing the battery fixing. Based on the above principle, this utility model can select the corresponding fixing hole position according to the length of the battery, which not only accommodates the installation of batteries of two lengths, but also effectively saves the development cost of the frame mold.
