Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric motorcycles, specifically to electric motorcycle frames. Background Technology
[0002] With the booming development of new energy technologies, the market share of electric motorcycles is constantly expanding. In the production process of electric motorcycles, the frame, as a key component, directly affects the performance and safety of the entire vehicle. However, existing motorcycle frames have many problems. For example, in the assembly stage, the lack of effective positioning support in the central area makes it difficult to accurately control the size of the hollow cavity, thus reducing assembly efficiency. For instance, in the detachable electric motorcycle frame with application number CN202320317153.3, the overall thickness is uniform, and the structure of individual components is relatively complex, requiring casting or machining, resulting in high cost and low efficiency. Furthermore, the overall rigidity is greatly affected by the thickness of the sheet metal, and the lack of necessary reinforcement measures leads to poor overall rigidity. Some frame components must rely on machining, which not only increases processing difficulty but also reduces processing efficiency. Taking a common electric motorcycle frame as an example, due to inaccurate positioning during assembly, the assembly time for a single piece can be as long as 30 minutes, and the deformation can reach 4mm when subjected to a 2000N vertical load, seriously affecting the quality and performance of the frame.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided electric motorcycle frames to address the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electric motorcycle frame to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides an electric motorcycle frame, including a frame plate one and a frame plate two arranged symmetrically.

[0014] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove 2 is provided on one side of the top reinforcing plate. Arc-shaped groove 1 and arc-shaped groove 2 are used to fix the welded front fork tube.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model provides a central anti-deformation support column for reinforcement between frame plate one and frame plate two. During assembly, the width of the two frame plates can be positioned to improve assembly efficiency. At the same time, it can also play a reinforcing role to ensure the support rigidity of the frame. In addition, when wiring, excess wire can be wrapped around the central anti-deformation support column to tidy up the wires and avoid them from touching the battery, thus improving the safety factor.
[0017] 2. By setting a fixed protruding plate one and a fixed protruding plate two, this utility model can serve a decorative purpose on the one hand, and thicken and reinforce the frame plate one and the frame plate two on the other hand, thereby improving the overall strength of the frame.

[0027] On the side walls of frame plate 1 and frame plate 2, which are far apart from each other, there are reinforcing protrusions 10 and 11. The reinforcing protrusions 10 and 11 are connected to frame plate 1 and frame plate 2 by built-in screws. The thickness of the reinforcing protrusions 10 and 11 is 1.2-1.5 times the thickness of frame plate 1 and frame plate 2, and they are fixed by countersunk screws. By setting the reinforcing protrusions 10 and 11, they can serve both a decorative purpose and a purpose of thickening and reinforcing frame plate 1 and frame plate 2, thereby improving the overall strength of the frame.
[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, and by setting a central anti-deformation support column 12 for reinforcement between frame plate 1 and frame plate 2, the width of the two frame plates can be positioned during assembly, improving assembly efficiency. At the same time, it can also play a reinforcing role, ensuring the support rigidity of the frame. Moreover, when wiring, excess wire length can be wrapped around the central anti-deformation support column 12 to tidy up the wiring, avoid it from touching the battery, and improve the safety factor.

[0035] S103. Assembly: First, fix the reinforcing protrusion 10 and the reinforcing protrusion 2 11 to the frame plate 1 and the frame plate 2 2 with anti-removal screws. Then, install the middle anti-deformation support column 12 between the frame plate 1 and the frame plate 2 2 with screws to achieve the positioning of the distance between the frame plate 1 and the frame plate 2 2. Then, weld the top reinforcing plate 8, the bottom sealing plate 1 5, the bottom sealing plate 2 6 and the cable guide sealing plate 9. Then, weld and fix the mounting plate 7 and the end sealing plate 4. Weld the front fork tube to the arc groove 1 503 and the arc groove 2 801.
[0036] S104. The top sealing plate 3 and the top reinforcing plate 8 are fixed by hinges. The top sealing plate 3 can be opened and closed along the hinges to facilitate the installation of the battery and the arrangement of the wiring.
[0037] In step S102, the punching process uses a CNC punching machine, and the punching accuracy is controlled within ±0.1mm.
