[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, 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.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] like Figures 1-5 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a bicycle basket, which is installed at the front of an electric vehicle and includes a basket body and a base 2 connected to each other. The two ends of the basket body have a first opening and a second opening, respectively. The second opening is lower than the first opening. The base 2 is installed at the second opening of the basket body. The base 2 is a metal base.

[0032] The basket body includes a lower hoop 3 and at least one connecting piece 7. The connecting piece 7 is fixed to the lower hoop 3. The bottom support 2 is higher than the lower hoop 3, and the bottom end of the bottom support 2 rests on the lower hoop 3. The connecting piece 7 is lower than the bottom support 2 and supports the bottom support 2. The connecting piece 7 and the bottom support 2 are connected by at least one rivet 8.

[0033] In this embodiment, firstly, the base 2 is a metal base, which not only improves the overall strength of the basket but also meets the new national standard for reducing plastic use. Both the basket body and the base 2 are made of metal and are connected by a reliable riveting method, making the entire basket a sturdy whole. Its load-bearing capacity, impact resistance, and deformation resistance are far superior to traditional plastic base baskets.

[0034] Secondly, while the base support 2 rests on the lower hoop 3, the connecting piece 7 supports the base support 2. This not only reduces the burden on the base support 2, but also improves the load-bearing capacity, impact resistance and deformation resistance of the base support 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, the basket includes an upper hoop 4, a protective side plate 1, and a lower hoop 3 connected in sequence. The top end of the protective side plate 1 is connected to the upper hoop 4, and its bottom end is connected to the lower hoop 3. It should be noted that the upper hoop 4, the protective side plate 1, and the lower hoop 3 are all made of metal, such as iron, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy. This ensures the strength of the entire basket structure, effectively guaranteeing the basket's load-bearing capacity, impact resistance, and deformation resistance.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple connecting pieces 7 are fixedly connected to the lower hoop 3, and the connecting pieces 7 are connected to the base 2 by multiple rivets 8. It should be noted that the connecting pieces 7 are metal sheets, and their material is the same as that of the lower hoop 3.

[0037] In some embodiments, the connecting piece 7 and the base 2 are integrally machined.

[0038] In some embodiments, the connecting piece 7 is welded and fixed to the base 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the base 2 is any one of an iron base, a steel base, or an aluminum alloy base. An iron base is preferred.

[0040] Traditional plastic base trays can be injection molded into a single piece to form the fixing post. However, when replacing them with iron base trays, the overall structure of the fixing post and the iron base tray cannot be directly achieved through sheet metal stamping. It is necessary to set a separate fixing post with screw holes, weld the fixing post to the iron base tray, and finally fix it to the connecting piece on the metal frame with screws. This process involves many steps and low production efficiency. In this embodiment, the iron base tray and the connecting piece 7 are connected by riveting to fix the iron base tray to the frame, saving processing steps and improving production efficiency.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom support 2 is higher than the lower hoop 3, and the bottom end of the bottom support 2 rests on the lower hoop 3;

[0042] The connecting piece 7 is lower than the base 2, and its top surface supports the base 2. Compared to setting the base 2 in a suspended state, the base 2 rests on the lower hoop 3. When carrying items, the weight of the items will be applied to the base 2, but since the weight of the base 2 and the items will also be applied to the lower hoop 3, the burden on the base 2 is reduced, thus increasing its load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the top surface of the connecting piece 7 supporting the base 2 prevents the center of the base 2 from denting when carrying items, thereby increasing the load-bearing capacity of the base 2.

[0043] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the base support 2 includes a top plate 201 and a ring plate 202. The top plate 201 is connected to the end of the ring plate 202 near the first opening. The bottom end of the ring plate 202 rests on the lower hoop 3. The top plate 201 has multiple first mounting holes for installing rivets 8. Further, the connecting piece 7 includes an integrally formed first plate 701 and a second plate 702. The included angle between the first plate 701 and the second plate 702 is a right angle or an obtuse angle. The bottom of the first plate 701 is connected to the lower hoop 3. The second plate 702 is parallel to the base support 2 and fits against the lower surface of the top plate 201 of the base support 2. The second plate 702 has second mounting holes that correspond one-to-one with the first mounting holes.

[0044] When assembling the base 2, simply place the base 2 on the lower hoop 3 so that the bottom end of the ring plate 202 rests on the lower hoop 3. Then rotate the base 2 to adjust its angle so that the first mounting hole on the base 2 and the second mounting hole on the connecting piece 7 are aligned. Finally, use rivets 8 to fix it.

[0045] In this embodiment, the top plate 201 and the ring plate 202 are integrally formed.

[0046] To further improve the load-bearing capacity of the base support 2 and prevent it from denting or deforming. Figure 2 As shown, multiple crossbeams 6 are provided on the lower hoop 3. The two ends of the crossbeams 6 are fixed to the opposite sides of the lower hoop 3, and the crossbeams 6 are also attached to the bottom surface of the top plate 201 of the bottom support 2.

[0047] By supporting the base 2 with the crossbeam 6, the base 2 is less prone to concave deformation when bearing heavy loads, thus indirectly improving its load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, the crossbeam 6 also enhances the structural strength of the lower hoop 3, thereby increasing the overall structural strength of the basket.

[0048] It should be noted that the crossbeam 6 is tubular, comprising a first tube, a second tube, and a third tube connected sequentially. A first obtuse angle is formed between the first and second tubes, and a second obtuse angle is formed between the second and third tubes. The first and third tubes are of the same length, with the length of the first tube being significantly shorter than that of the second tube. The ends of the first and third tubes of the crossbeam 6 furthest from the second tube are connected to opposite sides of the lower hoop 3. The second tube is higher than the first tube and supports the top plate 201 of the base support 2.

[0049] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are no specific restrictions on the number or arrangement of the crossbeams 6; any reasonable arrangement is acceptable. For example, the crossbeams 6 can be arranged as follows: Figure 2 The beams are arranged as shown in the diagram. Of course, the beams 6 can also be arranged in a cross shape.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top plate 201 of the base support 2 has multiple through holes. Because of the through holes in the top plate 201 of the base support 2, rainwater will drain out through the through holes in the top plate 201, and there will be no water accumulation problem.

[0051] In some embodiments, one segment of the protective side panel 1 is formed as follows: Figure 1 The connecting part 5 shown is connected to the front beam of the electric vehicle via a connecting rod.

[0052] In summary, the base 2 and basket body of this vehicle basket are both made of metal (iron / steel / aluminum alloy, etc.), eliminating the plastic base 2, a major plastic component, significantly reducing the proportion of plastic in the whole vehicle. Moreover, the metal base 2 has greatly enhanced pressure resistance and impact resistance, avoiding the problems of deformation and cracking that are common with traditional plastic base 2.

[0053] Secondly, since the base 2 rests on the lower hoop 3, the connecting piece 7 supports the base 2, and the crossbeam 6 also supports the base 2, the weight of the item is transferred to the lower hoop 3 through the base 2, dispersing the load pressure of the base 2. The L-shaped connecting piece 7 and the crossbeam 6 simultaneously support the base 2, preventing the center of the base 2 from denting, directly improving the base 2's resistance to denting, and significantly enhancing its load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation.

[0054] Finally, the connecting piece 7 between the base 2 and the lower hoop 3 is fixedly installed using rivets 8. During riveting, it is only necessary to align the holes to fix it, which reduces the assembly difficulty.

[0055] Example 2:

[0056] Another embodiment of this utility model provides an electric vehicle equipped with the aforementioned basket. The basket body and the base 2 are both made of metal and are connected by a reliable riveting method, making the entire basket a sturdy whole. This not only meets the new national standard for plastic reduction requirements but also improves the basket's load-bearing capacity, impact resistance, and deformation resistance.
