Abstract
Description
A durable electric tricycle headlight mounting bracket Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric tricycle body accessories technology, specifically to a durable electric tricycle headlight mounting bracket. Background Technology
[0002] The phenomenon of headlight brackets on existing electric tricycles not being durable may be caused by a combination of factors, including the following:
[0003] 1. Material quality and cost control
[0004] Cheap materials: In order to reduce production costs, some manufacturers use low-strength plastics (such as recycled materials) or thin-walled metals, which are prone to brittleness, corrosion or deformation.
[0005] 2. Structural design flaws
[0006] Insufficient rigidity: The bracket design is too thin or lacks a cushioning structure, making it prone to breakage due to high-frequency vibration on bumpy roads. Weak connection points: Unreasonable screw hole or clip design leads to stress concentration and cracking.
[0007] 3. Impact of Vibration and Road Conditions
[0008] Three-wheeled vehicle characteristics: The lack of a suspension system causes vibrations to be directly transmitted to the headlights, especially when the vehicle is heavily loaded, resulting in increased bumps. Long-term resonance: The continuous vibration of the motor and wheels may cause metal fatigue or microcracks in the plastic.
[0009] 4. Environmental factors
[0010] Oxidation and corrosion: Metal supports are prone to rusting in humid and saline-alkali areas; plastics are prone to aging under ultraviolet radiation.
[0011] Therefore, it is necessary to design a sufficiently durable headlight mounting bracket for electric tricycles to meet the usage requirements of electric tricycles. Summary of the Invention
[0012] This utility model provides a durable electric tricycle headlight mounting bracket. By combining inner and outer reinforcing ribs, the torsional strength of the support plate is improved, thereby providing stable support for the headlight.
[0013] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a durable electric tricycle headlight mounting bracket, comprising: sleeves, the sleeves being arranged in pairs and respectively fitted onto the tops of two front reducers, each sleeve having an outer wall with a support plate extending forward of the electric tricycle, each support plate having corresponding mounting holes; and outer reinforcing ribs, the outer reinforcing ribs being arranged along the edges of the support plates and connected to the outer walls of the sleeves; the support plates, the outer reinforcing ribs, and the outer walls of the sleeves together constitute a shell structure; two sets of outer reinforcing ribs are respectively arranged on the sides of the two support plates that are close to each other.
[0014] Preferably, it also includes internal reinforcing ribs, wherein multiple internal reinforcing ribs are provided and distributed on the side of each of the support plates that are close to each other, and do not overlap with the mounting holes.
[0015] Preferably, each of the inner reinforcing ribs is designed with a bend and is connected at both ends between the outer reinforcing rib and the outer wall of the sleeve.
[0016] Preferably, each of the support plates has multiple protrusions distributed circumferentially around the mounting holes on its outer side.
[0017] Preferably, the inner edges of the top and bottom ends of each sleeve are provided with tapered grooves; and a sealing ring that mates with each tapered groove is also included.
[0018] Preferably, it also includes a balance bar, which is a cylindrical structure horizontally disposed between the two support plates, and the balance bar has a through hole corresponding to the mounting hole.
[0019] Preferably, the sleeve, the support plate, the outer reinforcing rib, and the inner reinforcing rib are an integral structure, and the material is engineering plastic, 304 stainless steel, or aluminum alloy.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The headlight can be fixedly connected to the support plate via bolts through the mounting holes on both sides of the lamp feet. The outer reinforcing rib effectively improves the strength of the support plate and utilizes its own material properties to meet the connection strength between the support plate and the sleeve, providing stable support for the headlight. The combination of the inner and outer reinforcing ribs further improves the torsional strength of the support plate. The annularly distributed protrusions provide sufficient friction for the headlight fixing bolts, thereby preventing the headlight from changing its beam angle due to bumps. The sealing ring is pressed into the corresponding conical groove by the upper and lower triangular plates, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the gap between the sleeve and the front reducer and corroding the sleeve. The balance bar is supported between the two support plates, thereby connecting the two support plates together and improving the headlight installation firmness. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a durable electric tricycle headlight mounting bracket includes: a sleeve 1, which is arranged in pairs and respectively fitted onto the top of two front shock absorbers. Each sleeve 1 has a support plate 2 extending forward of the electric tricycle on its outer wall, and each support plate 2 has corresponding mounting holes 3; an outer reinforcing rib 4, which is arranged along the edge of the support plate 2 and connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 1; the support plate 2, the outer reinforcing rib 4, and the outer wall of the sleeve 1 together form a shell structure; two sets of outer reinforcing ribs 4 are respectively arranged on the adjacent sides of the two support plates 2. The sleeve 1, support plate 2, outer reinforcing rib 4, and inner reinforcing rib 5 are an integral structure made of engineering plastic, 304 stainless steel, or aluminum alloy.
[0027] With the above configuration, the lamp feet on both sides of the headlight can be fixedly connected to the support plate 2 via bolts passing through the mounting holes 3. The outer reinforcing rib 4 effectively improves the strength of the support plate 2 and also utilizes its own material properties to meet the connection strength between the support plate 2 and the sleeve 1, thereby providing stable support for the headlight.
[0028] It also includes multiple inner reinforcing ribs 5, which are distributed on the adjacent side of each of the support plates 2 and do not overlap with the mounting holes 3. Each of the inner reinforcing ribs 5 has a curved design and is connected at both ends between the outer reinforcing rib 4 and the outer wall of the sleeve 1.
[0029] The inner reinforcing rib 5 in this configuration works in conjunction with the outer reinforcing rib 4, further improving the torsional strength of the support plate 2.
[0030] On the outer side of each of the support plates 2, there are multiple protrusions 6 distributed circumferentially around the mounting holes 3.
[0031] The protrusion 6 in this setting provides sufficient friction for the headlight mounting bolts, thereby preventing the headlight from changing its beam angle due to bumps.
[0032] Each of the sleeves 1 has a tapered groove 7 on the inner edge of its top and bottom ends; it also includes a sealing ring 8 that mates with each of the tapered grooves 7.
[0033] In this setup, the sealing ring 8 is pressed into the corresponding tapered groove 7 by the action of the upper and lower triangular plates of the fork, thereby preventing rainwater from entering the gap between the sleeve 1 and the front reduction gear and corroding the sleeve 1.
[0034] It also includes a balance bar 9, which is a cylindrical structure horizontally arranged between the two support plates 2, and the balance bar 9 has a through hole 10 corresponding to the mounting hole 3.
[0035] In this setup, the stabilizer bar 9 is supported between two support plates 2, thereby connecting the two support plates 2 together and improving the stability of the headlight installation.
[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
