Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric tricycle technology, and in particular to a front handlebar fixing structure for an electric tricycle and an electric tricycle. Background Technology

[0002] The front grab handle on an electric tricycle is a crucial component, typically located on either side of the seat. Its primary function is to provide support and stability while riding, ensuring rider safety. Some models also integrate a handbrake. Electric tricycle front grab handles primarily use welding as the main connection and fixation method, firmly joining the various components, such as the grab handle and the mounting frame, together. The conventional approach to this connection is to perform grinding and polishing after welding. However, existing electric tricycle front grab handles suffer from the following problems: 1. Outdated connection method: Current electric tricycle front grab handles mostly use welding to connect components. The welding process is cumbersome, consuming significant time and labor costs, and requiring specialized welding equipment and technicians. 2. Poor appearance quality: Due to the inherent characteristics of the welding process, traditional welding methods easily leave defects such as weld slag residue and uneven weld seams on the grab handle surface. Even after grinding, it is difficult to achieve an ideal appearance. 3. Inconvenient maintenance: Due to the nature of welded connections, when a component of the existing handrail is damaged, it is difficult to repair. It often requires re-welding or replacement of the entire handrail assembly, which is costly and time-consuming. Utility Model Content

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, an electric tricycle front handlebar fixing structure includes a handlebar body 1 and a fixing seat 2. A connecting rod 3 is provided at the rear end of the handlebar body 1. The fixing seat 2 is fixedly connected to the gantry 4 at the front end of the vehicle body. The fixing seat 2 includes a U-shaped groove 21, and the connecting rod 3 engages with the U-shaped groove 21 to fix the front handlebar to the vehicle body. This modular design makes the handlebar body 1 easy to disassemble, allowing for quick removal and replacement from the vehicle body. In case of malfunction or maintenance, damaged parts can be quickly located and replaced, reducing maintenance difficulty and cost, and also facilitating product function upgrades and optimization. Furthermore, the design of the U-shaped groove 21 prevents instability caused by swaying at the other end of the handlebar body 1, providing stability.

[0031] The mounting base 2 has three first bolt fixing holes 22 arranged from top to bottom, and the connecting rod 3 has three second bolt fixing holes 31 arranged from top to bottom. When the connecting rod 3 is inserted into the U-shaped groove 21, the first bolt fixing holes 22 and the second bolt fixing holes 31 correspond one-to-one and are connected by bolts. Both the first bolt fixing holes 22 and the second bolt fixing holes 31 are circular or elliptical in shape. The bolt connection structure replaces the original welding method, simplifying the production process, reducing costs, and ensuring a stable connection while facilitating installation and disassembly.

[0032] The system also includes a decorative cover 5, which is attached to the outside of the mounting base 2. The decorative cover 5 comprises a detachably connected left cover 51 and a right cover 52. When the left cover 51 and right cover 52 are connected, they form a cavity to accommodate the mounting base 2. The left cover 51 and right cover 52 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, which includes a male snap 53 on the left cover 51 and a female snap 54 on the right cover 52, which engage with each other. A third bolt fixing hole 55 is also provided on the left cover 51 and right cover 52 for securing them together. The decorative cover 5 is made of polypropylene. This concealed connection design eliminates visible seams and welds, strengthening the overall integrity of the handrail structure, preventing safety hazards caused by exposed joints, achieving a simple, smooth, and aesthetically pleasing appearance, and improving product quality.

[0033] Preferably, a reinforcing rod 6 is also connected to the handrail body 1.
