Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electric bicycle technology, specifically involving an integrated structure of ignition lock, switch and throttle. Background Technology

[0002] In the electric vehicle industry (electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric scooters, etc.), throttle, buttons, and locks are essential components. The throttle controls the vehicle's speed and is typically mounted on the right side of the handlebars. By rotating the throttle, the user changes the signal output from the controller to the motor, thus adjusting the motor's speed and accelerating or decelerating the vehicle. Buttons are used for turn indicators, lights, horn, etc. Locks are used to switch the vehicle's power supply on and off.

[0003] Currently, most electric bicycles have their throttle, buttons, and locks installed separately, making assembly more complicated and costly. In a very few cases where the throttle and lock are integrated, the throttle is a standard type rather than a finger-operated throttle. Furthermore, electric bicycles with integrated finger-operated throttles, buttons, and locks are not yet available on the market. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 1

[0052] See Figures 1 to 10 The first embodiment of this utility model discloses an integrated structure of an ignition lock, switch, and throttle, comprising:

[0053] The shifter includes a bracket 1 and a shift sleeve 2, with the shift sleeve 2 swinging relative to the bracket 1.

[0054] An electric switch lock, comprising a lock cover 3 and a lock body 9;

[0055] Switch assembly 5;

[0056] Among them, the bracket 1 and the lock cover 3 form a lock receiving cavity, and the lock body 9 is located in the lock receiving cavity;

[0057] The bracket 1 has a switch mounting part 13, and the switch assembly 5 is located in the switch mounting part 13.

[0058] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 also has a door lock mounting part 11 and a throttle mounting part 12, and the lever sleeve 2 and the throttle mounting part 12 are engaged. The door lock mounting part 11 and the lock cover 3 form a lock receiving cavity.

[0059] In this embodiment, a plurality of buckles 121 are formed at the end of the throttle mounting part 12, and the shift sleeve 2 forms a snap ring 21 that cooperates with the buckles 121.

[0060] In this embodiment, the door lock mounting part 11 and the handle mounting part 12 are distributed on the left and right sides respectively. Typically, the integrated structure is installed on the right end of the handle tube, with the door lock mounting part 11 on the left and the handle mounting part 12 on the right.

[0061] In this embodiment, the switch assembly 5 and the door lock mounting part 11 are distributed vertically.

[0062] In this embodiment, an angle limiting block 122 is also formed on the throttle mounting part 12, and an angle limiting part 22 is formed on the shift sleeve 2. The angle limiting block 122 and the angle limiting part 22 cooperate to limit the swing angle of the shift sleeve 2.

[0063] In this embodiment, there are multiple angle limiting blocks 122 and angle limiting parts 22. Specifically, there are three angle limiting blocks 122 and three angle limiting parts 22, which are distributed circumferentially.

By providing the anti-disengagement groove and the anti-disengagement part, the button anti-disengagement component 53 is further prevented from detaching from the bracket 1. In other embodiments, the switch mounting portion 13 may not have a notch on the side facing the lock cover 3, and the entire lock cover 3 may be located completely below the switch assembly 5.

[0071] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 and the locking cover 3 are snapped together.

[0072] In this embodiment, the bracket 1 and the locking cover 3 are fixed together by screws, and the screws pass through the locking cover 3 and are screwed into the bracket 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, an anti-disengagement structure is formed between the bracket 1 and the lock body 9 along the direction of its keyhole. In other embodiments, the anti-disengagement structure can also be formed between the lock cover 3 and the lock body 9 along the direction of its keyhole.

[0074] In this embodiment, an anti-rotation structure is formed between the lock body 9, the bracket 1, and the lock cover 3. An anti-disengagement and anti-rotation part 111 is formed on the bracket 1, and an anti-rotation protrusion 31 is formed on the lock cover 3. The lock body 9 has the anti-rotation and anti-disengagement protrusion 91, and the anti-disengagement and anti-rotation part 111 forms an anti-disengagement and anti-rotation groove. The anti-disengagement and anti-rotation protrusion 31 of the lock body 9 is located within the anti-disengagement and anti-rotation groove. The front and rear sidewalls of the anti-disengagement and anti-rotation groove restrict the front and rear movement of the lock body 9. The bottom wall of the anti-disengagement and anti-rotation groove and the anti-rotation protrusion 31 of the lock cover 3 clamp the anti-rotation and anti-disengagement protrusion 91 of the lock body 9, preventing the lock body 9 from rotating. The key on the lock body 9 is inserted from back to front.

[0075] In this embodiment, the throttle also includes a retaining ring 61 and a fastening screw 62. A mounting portion for the retaining ring 61 is formed on the bracket 1. The fastening screw 62 passes through the bracket 1 and one end of the retaining ring 61 and is screwed into the other end of the retaining ring 61. The fastening screw 62 is installed from front to back.

[0076] In this embodiment, the throttle includes a magnetic induction element 72 and a throttle lead wire mounted on the bracket 1. The ignition lock includes a door lock lead wire. The throttle lead wire and the door lock lead wire converge and are led out from the lock receiving cavity. The throttle sound and the door lock lead wire are led out from the front of the bracket 1 and the lock cover 3.

[0077] In this embodiment, the integrated structure of the ignition lock, switch, and throttle can be considered as integrating the ignition lock and button onto the throttle.

[0078] The advantages of the integrated structure of the ignition lock, switch and throttle in Embodiment 1 of this utility model are: after the integrated structure of the ignition lock, switch and throttle is connected as one unit, the assembly process only requires installing the entire integrated structure onto the handlebar housing using the fixing ring 61 and fastening screws 62, which simplifies the assembly process and reduces costs; the use of a throttle makes it smaller in size compared to a regular throttle; and the shared use of parts results in a simple and compact structure.

[0079] 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.
