Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of two-wheeled vehicle bracket technology, and in particular to a headlight mounting bracket and an electric motorcycle using the bracket. Background Technology

[0002] In high-speed electric motorcycles (two-wheeled vehicles), components such as headlights, fairings, brake lines, and main cables usually need to be fixed to the frame with independent mounting brackets. The mounting brackets are numerous and messy, the component assembly process is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the design of multiple brackets will also occupy limited space, leading to collision and interference problems between the mounted components.

[0003] Because headlights are heavy, there are often problems such as insufficient bracket design strength, which can lead to bracket deformation and headlight displacement; or excessive bracket design strength, which increases the weight of the entire bracket, increases the consumption of raw materials, causes cost waste, and complicates the overall manufacturing process.

[0004] Brake hoses and main cables are usually threaded between mounting brackets. They can move around as the steering gear rotates and the dampers operate, causing friction and interference with components such as headlights, instruments, and fairings. In severe cases, this can wear down the hoses and main cables, creating safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0005] In response to the shortcomings of the existing production technology, the applicant provides a headlight mounting bracket and an electric motorcycle using the bracket. The bracket can effectively limit the headlight, and the fasteners are assembled without tin, reducing the impact of drilling on the bracket's strength. The brake oil pipe and main cable are respectively limited to designated points, so they will not interfere with the steering gear when turning.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A headlight mounting bracket includes a bracket assembly, which has an open bracket group for limiting the main cable and conduit, and a mounting structure for limiting the headlight.

[0008] The open support assembly has several parallel and independent limiting positions.

[0009] One end of the mounting structure is connected to the bracket assembly, and the other end extends forward; the mounting structure and the bracket assembly avoid each other to form the installation space for the headlight, and the forward end of the mounting structure supports and limits the headlight.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:

[0011] The mounting structure adopts a hook structure, including at least one hook bracket located on the bracket assembly, the hook bracket having an upward-facing limiting part; the headlight to be installed is mounted on the limiting part.

[0012] The hook brackets are symmetrically or arrayed on the lower crossbar, and the weight of the headlights acts on the limiting part.

[0013] The mounting structure uses an integrated bent rod, with the headlights mounted on the mounting structure.

[0014] The mounting structure adopts an open bracket, with the opening side of the mounting structure pointing to the side in the direction of vehicle travel, and the mounting structure includes at least one horizontal section, through which the headlights are mounted.

[0015] The horizontal section where the mounting structure connects to the headlight is located in the middle of the bracket assembly.

[0016] Interference prevention distance is reserved between the open supports of the open support group.

[0017] The bracket assembly includes a left side rod, a right side rod, and a lower crossbar. The left side rod, the right side rod, and the lower crossbar form a frame-type mounting base. Open bracket assemblies are installed on both the left side rod and the right side rod. The hanging structure is located on the lower crossbar.

[0018] The top of the left and right poles are respectively equipped with a left bracket and a right bracket.

[0019] An electric motorcycle with a headlight mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket is located at the front of the electric motorcycle and the headlight is inserted into the mounting structure of the bracket assembly.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This utility model has a compact and reasonable structure and reliable installation. It assembles and fixes the headlight, fairing, brake oil pipe and main cable on the headlight bracket, reducing the number of mounting brackets, simplifying the assembly process, ensuring the strength and reliability of the headlight bracket, and making it easy to disassemble the headlight.

[0022] The bracket assembly of this application is also equipped with an open bracket for the rational arrangement of brake lines and main cables, solving the problem of friction and collision between the brake lines and main cables and interference with other vehicle components caused by the steering gear and shock absorbers during operation, and optimizing the overall vehicle wiring process.

[0023] In practical use, the advantages of this application lie in its multi-functional headlight bracket structure, which offers two assembly methods for the headlight and bracket: one method involves directly hooking the cylindrical rod of the headlight onto the two hooks on the horizontal bar of the headlight mounting bracket; the other method involves directly inserting the cylindrical rod of the headlight mounting bracket into the elongated through-hole of the headlight. Neither method requires fasteners, effectively avoiding the impact of drilling on the strength of the headlight mounting bracket. The headlight bracket design is simple, occupies little space, reduces assembly complexity, simplifies installation procedures, and saves costs, time, and labor.

[0024] The principle of preventing interference between oil pipes and main cables is:

[0025] The existing problem is that the brake lines for the front and rear brakes extend from the master cylinder and are inserted behind the instrument panel and headlights. The main cable is connected to the back of the headlights. The brake lines and main cable are intertwined and wrapped around the headlight brackets, and move with the steering gear. They collide and rub against each other in the narrow space, interfering with other surrounding components.

[0026] Based on the installation positions and actuation interference points of the brake oil pipe and main cable on the vehicle, this application designs annular open brackets with different structures on the side rods of the headlight bracket. A gap is reserved between the annular openings on both sides, namely the anti-interference distance. The purpose of the anti-interference distance is to prevent multiple pipes or cables from rotating densely in the same direction at the same time during steering. The brake oil pipe and main cable are fixed side by side with a double-channel open bracket on one side. The advantage is that when the steering gear is turned left or right, the oil pipe and main cable will rotate in the same direction, and there will be no problem of actuation cross-interference.

[0027] On the other side, a single-channel open bracket is used to fix only the oil pipe, and the oil pipes on both sides are equipped to separate them, avoiding interference from the rotation of the oil pipes. The overall piping and wiring process is simple to assemble, easy to operate, and the wiring is smooth, avoiding the risk of friction cracking of safety components such as brake oil pipes and main cables.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the headlight 6 mounting bracket in this embodiment includes a bracket assembly. The bracket assembly is provided with an open bracket group for limiting the main cable 11 and the pipeline, and a mounting structure for limiting the headlight 6.

[0041] The open support assembly has several parallel and independent limiting positions.

[0042] One end of the mounting structure is connected to the bracket assembly, and the other end extends forward; the mounting structure and the bracket assembly avoid each other to form the installation space for the headlight 6, and the forward end of the mounting structure supports and limits the headlight 6.

[0043] The mounting structure adopts a hook structure, including at least one hook bracket located on the bracket assembly, the hook bracket having an upward-facing limiting part; the headlight 6 to be installed is mounted on the limiting part.

[0044] The hook brackets are symmetrically or arrayed on the lower crossbar 9, and the gravity of the headlight 6 acts on the limiting part.

[0045] The mounting structure uses an integrated bent rod, with the headlights 6 mounted on the mounting structure.

[0046] The mounting structure adopts an open bracket 15, with the opening side of the mounting structure pointing to the side in the direction of vehicle travel, and the mounting structure includes at least one horizontal section, through which the headlight 6 is mounted.

[0047] The horizontal section where the mounting structure connects to the headlight 6 is located in the middle of the bracket assembly.

[0048] Interference prevention distance is reserved between the open supports of the open support group.

[0049] The bracket assembly includes a left rod 10, a right rod 5, and a lower crossbar 9. The left rod 10, right rod 5, and lower crossbar 9 form a frame-type installation base. Open bracket assemblies are installed on both the left rod 10 and the right rod 5. The hanging structure is located on the lower crossbar 9.

[0050] The top of the left rod 10 and the right rod 5 are respectively provided with a left bracket 13 and a right bracket 3.

[0051] In this embodiment, an electric motorcycle with a headlight mounting bracket is used. The mounting bracket is located at the front of the electric motorcycle, and the headlight 6 is inserted into the mounting structure of the bracket assembly.

[0052] The specific structure and working principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0053] Example 1:

[0054] As attached Figures 1-3 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of the bracket assembly provided in this application being used in a vehicle and combined with other components. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a single bracket assembly, which includes a left side bar 10, a right side bar 5, and a lower crossbar 9. The left side bar 10, right side bar 5, and lower crossbar form a rectangular structure with an open top, and a mounting structure for mounting headlights is provided on the lower crossbar.

[0055] like Figure 4 As shown, the left bracket 13 is welded to the upper side of the left rod 10, and the double-channel annular opening bracket 12 is welded to the inner side; the right bracket 3 is welded to the upper side of the right rod 5, and the single-channel annular opening bracket 4 is welded to the inner side.

[0056] The left support 13 and right support 3 are symmetrically arranged, both adopting a V-shaped support structure, that is, the support is a bent structure with an obtuse angle, dividing the support into two sections; the section connected to the left rod 10 and the right rod 5 is set at an obtuse or right angle with the left rod 10 and the right rod 5. This bent V-shaped structure is more stable under force.

[0057] Specifically, refer to the following: Figure 1 The left bracket 13 and the right bracket 3 are used to install the fairing 1. The fairing 1 is fastened to the two threaded holes of the left bracket 13 and the right bracket 3 by bolts. The V-shaped bracket is stronger than the ordinary right-angle bent bracket, is not easy to deform under stress, and the flanged structure is more robust and stable, which can effectively support the weight of the fairing 1. When the installation of the headlight is related to the fairing 1 and the fairing bears the weight of the headlight, the V-shaped bracket also bears the weight of the headlight 6.

[0058] like Figure 5As shown, a single-channel annular opening bracket and a double-channel annular opening bracket are respectively installed on the left rod 10 and the right rod 5. Both the single-channel and double-channel annular opening brackets are positioned close to the left bracket 13 and the right bracket 3, respectively.

[0059] The positions and routes of the brake lines and main cables on the vehicle are as follows: the right front brake line 2 extends from the right brake master cylinder and connects downward to the front brake caliper; the left rear brake line 14 extends from the left brake master cylinder and connects rearward to the rear brake caliper; the main cable 11 is arranged on the left side of the vehicle and connects to the electrical components at the front and rear.

[0060] According to the pipeline routing, a single-channel annular open bracket 4 is designed inside the right-side rod 5 to fix the right front brake oil pipe 2 located on the right side. Figure 5 As shown, the right front brake oil pipe 2 is limited by passing through the annular part of the single-channel annular opening bracket;

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, a double-channel annular open bracket 12 is designed on the inner side of the left rod 9 to fix the left rear brake oil pipe 14 and the main cable 11 located on the left side side by side. Figure 5 As shown, the left rear brake oil pipe 14 and the main cable 11 are limited by passing through the two annular parts of the dual-channel annular open bracket, and the two annular parts are arranged side by side and collinear with the single-channel annular open bracket 4 to reduce interference between the two oil pipes and the main cable.

[0062] This arrangement, based on the static position and dynamic direction of the brake lines and main cable on the vehicle, utilizes a single / dual-channel annular open bracket design to effectively avoid a messy, intertwined arrangement of the brake lines and main cable, preventing them from colliding and interfering with each other. The dual-channel annular open bracket 12 design reduces the number of mounting brackets and ensures, through side-by-side fixing, that when the steering gear turns, the brake lines and main cable turn synchronously in the same direction, preventing them from crossing and rubbing against each other.

[0063] The focus of this application is the mounting structure on the lower crossbar 9 used to limit the headlight mounting. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower crossbar 9 is connected between the left bracket 13 and the right bracket 3, and both the left bracket 13 and the right bracket 3 extend beyond the two ends of the lower crossbar 9.

[0064] The hook brackets can be arranged in multiple arrays on the lower crossbar 9, or they can be arranged symmetrically on the lower crossbar 9. Considering the limited weight of the headlight 6, two hook brackets are sufficient to support the load; there is no need to set more hook brackets; setting a single hook bracket may result in uneven load distribution on both sides and easy tilting. Therefore, in the embodiments of this application, two hook brackets are preferred.

[0065] As an optional implementation, a left hook bracket 8 and a right hook bracket 7 are welded to the lower side of the lower crossbar 9. The left hook bracket 8 and the right hook bracket 7 form a pair of coplanar and inclined hooks, creating an inclined extension and an upwardly bent hook portion. The cylindrical rod below the headlight passes through the upwardly bent hook portion, and the main weight of the headlight is borne by the left hook bracket and the right hook bracket. The advantage of hooking on both sides is that it can effectively distribute the stress on the bracket and make it easier to assemble and disassemble the headlight.

[0066] Example 2:

[0067] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that an open bracket 15 is welded to the lower side of the lower crossbar 9. For example... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the open bracket adopts a U-shaped structure, and the opening direction of the U-shaped open bracket is either left or right, so that the headlight can pass through the open bracket from one side of the opening and be limited. Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of an open mounting bracket with a U-shaped structure applied to a vehicle.

[0068] The open-end bracket is described in three sections: a first section fixedly connected to the lower crossbar 9; a second section extending from one end of the first section; and a third section extending from the other end of the second section and parallel to the first section. The third section can be the same length as the first section or longer. The length of the first section primarily affects the connection strength with the lower crossbar 9; therefore, as long as the strength is sufficient to support the headlight 6, it is acceptable. Excessive length would increase the welding workload, which is unnecessary. Therefore, the preferred embodiment of this application is that the length of the third section is greater than that of the first section, providing sufficient installation space for the headlight on the third section.

[0069] The second segment can be connected perpendicularly to the first and third segments; or it can be connected at an angle, making the overall U-shaped structure tend towards a trapezoid. Considering that the production process of making a vertical structure is simpler and only requires verification of two right angles, which is less difficult than verifying two supplementary angles, this application adopts a structure in which the first, second, and third segments are perpendicular to each other.

[0070] A long through hole is opened below the headlight 6. The third section of the open bracket 15 is inserted into the long through hole of the headlight 6. The U-shaped open bracket consumes less material, is reliable in installation, has higher strength, and has a stable and reliable structure.

[0071] Compared with the conventional headlight 6 mounting structure, the design of the mounting structure of this application does not require fastener assembly, which can effectively avoid the impact of drilling design on the strength of the headlight 6 mounting bracket. The headlight 6 bracket design is simple, occupies little space, reduces assembly complexity, simplifies installation procedures, and saves cost, time and manpower.

[0072] The design of the dual-channel annular open bracket 12 and the single-channel annular open bracket 4 are based on the installation position and actuation interference point of the brake oil pipe and the main cable 11 on the vehicle. Different annular open brackets with different structures are designed on the side rod. The dual-channel open bracket 12 is used on one side to fix the brake oil pipe and the main cable 11 side by side. The advantage is that when the steering gear turns left and right, the oil pipe and the main cable 11 will turn in the same direction and there will be no actuation cross interference problem between them.

[0073] On the other side, four single-channel open brackets are used to fix the oil pipe.

[0074] The system features separate oil pipes on both sides to prevent interference from pipe rotation. The overall piping and wiring process is simple to assemble, easy to operate, and ensures smooth routing, avoiding the risk of friction cracking of safety components such as brake oil pipes and main cables.

[0075] The above description is an explanation of the present utility model and not a limitation thereof. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the claims. Within the protection scope of the present utility model, any form of modification may be made.
