Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle frames, specifically a high-strength lightweight bicycle frame. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing severity of urban traffic congestion and growing environmental awareness, electric vehicles, as a convenient and low-carbon mode of transportation, are gaining popularity among consumers. Folding electric vehicles, due to their portability and small footprint, are particularly suitable for use and storage in cities. However, existing folding electric vehicle frame technology still has some shortcomings in structural design and lifespan, which urgently need improvement.

[0003] Traditional folding electric vehicle frames typically employ an X-shaped structure design. This design allows the frame to be unfolded to support the electric vehicle during use, while the X-shaped structure is retracted when not in use to fold the frame. In some cases, the stress of the X-shaped structure is concentrated at the central hinge, which can easily lead to damage and aging of the hinge over time, thus shortening the overall lifespan of the frame.

[0004] However, the traditional high-strength lightweight bicycle frame currently on the market has an insufficiently optimized structure and an unreasonable design. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-strength, lightweight bicycle frame to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A high-strength, lightweight bicycle frame includes a frame one, a support rod fixedly connected to the front end of the frame one, a frame two fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod, an axle post fixedly connected to the bottom of the frame one, and a connecting frame fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer wall of the frame two. A seat post is fixedly connected to the end of the frame two away from the support rod. The support rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the outer wall of the connecting frame. The bottom of the support rod is welded and fixed to the upper surface of the outer wall of the frame one. A hinge is hinged to the lower part of the outer wall of the seat post.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a bracket is hinged to the middle part of the outer wall of the hinge member, and a mounting workpiece two is installed on the outer wall of the bracket through a connecting pin. One end of the mounting workpiece two is fixedly connected to a vehicle frame three.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a top post is welded to the upper surface of the outer wall of the axle post, and an installation workpiece is installed on the outer wall of the top post through a connecting pin. One end of the installation workpiece is fixedly connected to a frame four.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a frame four is provided below the frame three, and a welding block is welded to the rear end of the frame three and the frame four.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the number of welding blocks is two sets, and a connecting rod is installed between the two sets of welding blocks.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a welding lug is welded to the center of the upper surface of the outer wall of the frame one, and a damping spring is installed at the hinge end of the welding lug, and the end of the damping spring away from the welding lug is hinged to the bottom of the hinge component.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] In this utility model, a hinge joint located on the inner side of the second frame is used for sliding the second mounting workpiece. When the first mounting workpiece is released, the second mounting workpiece can slide within the hinge joint slot. When the second mounting workpiece slides to the bracket section, the seat post will tilt onto the first frame. When the second mounting workpiece slides to another bracket section, as... Figure 3 The position shown is where the seat rod is perpendicular to the first frame. The welding lugs installed between the two sets of the second frame are used to fit with the lower part of the outer wall of the support rod, so that the seat rod will not shift after tilting towards the first frame. Its structure is more optimized and its design is more reasonable. Attached Figure Description
