Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric bicycle technology, specifically relating to an external cable throttle with two operating modes. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of electric bicycles (electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric scooters, etc.), the throttle is a component used to control the speed of the vehicle. It is usually installed on the right end of the handlebars. By rotating the throttle, the user changes the signal output by the controller to the motor, thereby adjusting the speed of the motor and realizing the acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle.
[0003] Throttle grips can be operated in three ways: full grip (rotate the whole thing), half grip (rotate only a portion of the grip), and finger shifter (press with your thumb). However, current electric bicycle throttle grips typically only offer one operation method. Meeting the different operating needs of various users would require repeated design and development, resulting in unnecessary waste.
[0004] Furthermore, when the handlebar cross tube is C-shaped and the throttle cable exits via internal routing, a drawback is that the C-shaped cross tube can only be straight, making bending impossible and affecting the overall aesthetics of the bike. Round handlebar cross tubes, on the other hand, are easier to bend and achieve various shapes. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing throttles which only have one operating mode and internal cable routing by providing an externally cabled throttle with two operating modes. This throttle offers two operating modes (partial swing and finger shift) for users to choose from, and uses external cable routing to accommodate the round handlebar.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an external cable routing throttle with two operating modes, the external cable routing throttle with two operating modes comprising:
[0007] Put on a cover;
[0008] The swing assembly is fitted over the handlebar grip and swings relative to the handlebar grip.
[0009] A torsion spring exerts a force on the oscillating component to restore it to its original position.

[0024] One end of the torsion spring is inserted into the handlebar sleeve, and the other end is inserted into the swing assembly.
[0025] As an improvement, the external cable throttle with two operating modes also includes an isolation sleeve and a grip sleeve.

[0053] Put the first set on;
[0054] The swing component 2 is fitted over the handlebar sleeve 1 and swings relative to the handlebar sleeve 1.
[0055] Torsion spring 3 exerts a force on the swing assembly 2 to restore it to its original position;
[0056] The retaining ring 4 is located in the handlebar sleeve 1;
[0057] Lead 5;
[0058] The swing assembly 2 includes a paddle 21, which includes a swing base 211, a paddle operation part 212 extending radially outward from the swing base 211, and a swing operation part 213 extending axially outward from the swing base 211.
[0059] The handlebar sleeve 1 has an annular base 11 that mates with a circular handlebar tube, a fixing ring receiving portion 12 located on the axial end face of the annular base 11, and a switch receiving portion 13 located radially outside the fixing ring receiving portion 12, with the lead wire 5 extending out from the switch receiving portion 13.
[0060] In this embodiment, the swing assembly 2 further includes a rigid connecting sleeve 22 sleeved outside the swing operation part and a soft hand contact sleeve 23 sleeved outside the rigid connecting sleeve 22. The soft hand contact sleeve 23 is in contact with the end face of the swing base 211 of the lever sleeve 21. In other embodiments, the soft hand contact sleeve 23 may also be directly mounted on the lever sleeve 21 without the rigid connecting sleeve 22.
[0061] In this embodiment, the rigid connecting sleeve 22 and the swing operating part are fixed together by axial screws. The axial screws pass through the dial sleeve 21 and are screwed into the rigid connecting sleeve 22. There are three axial screws, which are evenly distributed around the circumference.
[0062] In this embodiment, the outer side of the rigid connecting sleeve 22 extends to form a plurality of circumferentially distributed positioning ribs, which are distributed along the axial direction. The soft hand-operated sleeve 23 forms a plurality of positioning grooves that mate with the positioning ribs. The rigid connecting sleeve 22 and the soft hand-operated sleeve 23 are formed into a whole by means of tight fitting or other methods.
[0063] In this embodiment, the toggle operation part 212 forms an operation slot, and a soft hand contact block 24 is provided in the operation slot.
[0064] In this embodiment, the external cable throttle with two operating modes also includes a switch assembly. The switch assembly includes a Hall element 61 disposed in the switch receiving part 13 of the handle sleeve 1 and a magnet 62 that is linked to the swing assembly 2. The Hall element 61 is connected to the lead wire 5.
[0065] In this embodiment, the external cable throttle with two operating modes also includes a Hall cover 63. The Hall cover 63 is fixed to the handle sleeve 1 by screws. The Hall cover 63 closes the switch receiving part 13, and glue is poured into the switch receiving part 13.
[0066] In this embodiment, the swing base 211 includes a radially perforated portion and a swing annular portion. The radially perforated portion extends toward the fixed ring 4 to form a magnet mounting portion 214. The magnet mounting portion 214 has a magnet groove, in which a magnet 62 is fixed. The swing operation portion extends outward from the swing annular portion toward the side away from the fixed ring 4. There are two magnets 62.
[0067] In this embodiment, an angle limiting groove 215 is formed on the side of the swing annular portion of the lever sleeve 21 facing the fixed ring 4, and an angle limiting block 15 is formed on the sleeve 1 located in the angle limiting groove 215. There are multiple angle limiting grooves 215 and multiple angle limiting blocks 15.

[0069] In this embodiment, one end of the torsion spring 3 is inserted into the grip sleeve 1, and the other end is inserted into the shift sleeve 21.
[0070] In this embodiment, the external cable throttle with two operating modes also includes an isolation sleeve 7 and a grip sleeve 8. The isolation sleeve 7 is located between the rigid connecting sleeve 22, the soft hand contact sleeve 23, and the grip sleeve 8. There is an axial gap between the grip sleeve 8 and both the rigid connecting sleeve 22 and the soft hand contact sleeve 23; there is a radial gap between the isolation sleeve 7 and the rigid connecting sleeve 22. The design of the axial and radial gaps ensures that the grip sleeve 8 will not contact the rigid connecting sleeve 22 or the soft hand contact sleeve 23, and the swing assembly 2 can swing reliably (especially reset).
[0071] In this embodiment, the isolation sleeve 7 is T-shaped. The isolation sleeve 7 has a small-diameter end and a large-diameter end. The small-diameter end of the isolation sleeve 7 abuts against the handlebar sleeve 1, and the large-diameter end has axial gaps between itself and the rigid connecting sleeve 22 and the soft hand contact sleeve 23. The outer diameter of the large-diameter end is approximately equal to the outer diameter of that end of the grip sleeve 8. The grip sleeve 8 is used for gripping while riding and is fixed to the handlebar cross tube.
[0072] The beneficial effects of the externally routed throttle with two operating modes in Embodiment 1 of this utility model are as follows: The swivel assembly 2's shift sleeve 21 includes a swivel base 211, a shifting operation part 212, and a swivel operating part. It can be operated by pressing the shifting operation part 212 with the thumb or by rotating the swivel operating part, achieving two different controls; it is compatible with a round handlebar, which can be bent to obtain more diverse shapes; it is equipped with a soft hand contact block 24 and a soft hand contact sleeve 23, and the operating parts that the fingers touch are all soft, providing a good user experience; whether the thumb and forefinger wrap around the soft operating sleeve or the thumb flicks the shifter, it is safer than the overall rotation method.
[0073] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes, but is not limited to, the content described in the above specific embodiments. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of the present invention will be included within the scope of the claims.
