Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric-assisted bicycle limiting technology, and in particular to a limiting structure for shared electric-assisted bicycles. Background Technology
[0002] Electric-assisted bicycles use torque sensors to sense the rider's pedaling force, and then the motor works in coordination to provide power. This mechanism constitutes the core principle of its hybrid drive. Electric-assisted bicycles organically combine human power and electricity, and use controller algorithms to flexibly adjust the assistance, making climbing hills easier. Whether it is daily commuting in the city, its efficiency is 30% higher than that of ordinary bicycles, or it can play an important role in mountain off-roading or sightseeing.
[0003] However, shared electric-assist bicycles need to be charged regularly when parked at tourist attractions. Currently, electric-assist bicycles generally use wired charging solutions, and their exposed metal contacts are prone to short circuits in heavy rain. Electric sparks may also be generated when plugging and unplugging, posing a risk of causing wildfires in mountainous areas. Although wireless charging technology has been applied, it relies on manual alignment of the coil, and even slight misalignment can lead to a significant decrease in charging efficiency. In actual use, misalignment is quite common. In addition, mechanical limiting structures cause charging interruptions due to frequent vehicle roll-off in slope scenarios. Utility Model Content
[0004] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that the existing electric-assist bicycles use wireless charging technology, which relies on manual alignment of the coil, resulting in a large deviation and causing the electric-assist bicycles to fail to charge.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical problems are solved by the following technical solution: This utility model proposes a limiting structure for shared electric-assisted bicycles, which includes a support base laid parallel to the ground; the support base includes an upper bearing surface and a bottom support surface, and the upper bearing surface is provided with a V-shaped groove;
[0006] The charging pile is fixedly installed on the upper bearing surface;
[0007] The angle between the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove and the bottom support surface is an acute angle, and the opening of the angle faces away from the charging pile.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: the support base includes a front end face and a rear end face;
[0009] The charging pile is installed on one side near the front end;
[0010] The opening of the V-groove gradually decreases from the front end face to the rear end face.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: the two side walls of the V-shaped groove are inclined, and the electric-assisted bicycle tire abuts against the side wall of the V-shaped groove and slides down along the side wall to the center position of the V-shaped groove.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: limiting frames are provided on both sides of the V-shaped groove, and the limiting frames are used to support the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: the support base has a through hole inside, and the through hole penetrates the support base in the vertical direction.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: a floating component is installed inside the through hole;
[0015] The floating component includes a connecting plate fixedly connected to the support base, a positioning cylinder disposed on the surface of the connecting plate, a reset component disposed inside the positioning cylinder, and a limiting plate connected to the end of the reset component;
[0016] The surface of the limiting plate has a recess, and the trajectory of the recess is adapted to the V-shaped groove.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: a transmitting terminal is installed on the side of the charging pile beam near where the electric-assisted bicycle is parked, and a receiving terminal that cooperates with the transmitting terminal is installed on the front end of the electric-assisted bicycle.
[0018] The receiving terminal and the transmitting terminal are connected and cooperated, enabling the electric-assist bicycle to enter wireless charging mode.
[0019] In a preferred embodiment of the shared electric-assisted bicycle limiting structure of this utility model: the surface of the limiting plate is recessed to support the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle, and the limiting plate can move in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring a good fit between the receiving terminal and the transmitting terminal.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the opening of the V-shaped groove gradually widens from the rear end face to the front end face; and there is a certain angle between the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove and the bottom support surface; when the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle is inserted into the V-shaped groove, the tire will move towards the charging station under the action of weight; so that the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal can make close contact; when the tire is inserted into the V-shaped groove, it also effectively prevents the electric-assisted bicycle from rolling backward, ensuring good contact during the charging process.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0028] The terminology used in this invention refers to those general terms currently widely used in the art in consideration of the functionality of this invention; however, these terms may vary according to the intent, precedent, or new technology of those skilled in the art. Furthermore, specific terms may be chosen by the applicant, and in such cases, their detailed meanings will be described in the detailed description of this invention. Therefore, the terminology used in this specification should not be construed as simple names, but rather based on the meaning of the terms and the overall description of this invention.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a limiting structure for a shared electric-assisted bicycle, including a support base 1 laid parallel to the ground; the support base 1 includes an upper bearing surface 11 and a bottom support surface 12, and the upper bearing surface 11 has a V-shaped groove 111.
[0030] It should be noted that the support base 1 is made of concrete and has a ramp along its short axis. The ramp makes it easy for users to push the vehicle onto the upper bearing surface 11 for parking.
[0031] For details, please refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 The horizontal projection of the support base 1 is a rectangle. The longer side of the rectangle shown in the projection outline is the major axis of the support base 1, and the shorter side is the minor axis of the support base 1.
[0032] Preferably, the cross-section of the support base 1 is trapezoidal, and the upper bearing surface 11 and the bottom support surface 12 are parallel to each other; when the support base 1 is laid, it is necessary to ensure that the support base 1 is parallel to the ground.
[0033] Furthermore, the charging pile 2 is fixedly installed on the upper bearing surface 11; the charging pile 2 is installed on the upper bearing surface 11 by bolt connection; and the charging pile 2 is provided with a transmitting terminal that is compatible with the receiving terminal of the electric-assisted bicycle; when the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal of the electric-assisted bicycle are matched, wireless charging of the electric-assisted bicycle can be realized.
[0034] Furthermore, the angle between the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 111 and the bottom support surface 12 is an acute angle, and the opening of the angle faces away from the charging pile 2.
[0035] It should be noted that the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 111 is inclined relative to the bottom support surface 12, and there is an angle between the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 111 and the bottom support surface 12. The angle is acute, and the opening of the angle faces away from the charging pile 2.
[0036] Specifically, when the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle moves into the V-shaped groove 111, due to the inclination of the bottom of the V-shaped groove 111, the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle will slide along the V-shaped groove 111 to a lower position on the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 111 under the action of gravity; during the sliding of the front wheel, the receiving terminal on the front face of the electric-assisted bicycle can approach the transmitting terminal located on one side of the charging pile 2, so that the receiving terminal and the transmitting terminal can be connected and cooperated.
[0037] Preferably, the V-groove 111 is inclined to further prevent the electric bicycle from rolling backward during parking; and to ensure good contact between the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal during charging.
[0038] In use, the rider pushes the electric-assisted bicycle onto the upper bearing surface 11, and then inserts the front end into the V-shaped groove 111. Due to the inclined setting of the V-shaped groove 111, the electric-assisted bicycle slides towards the lowest position of the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 111 under the influence of gravity. During the sliding process, the receiving terminal set on the front end of the electric-assisted bicycle can cooperate with the transmitting terminal installed on the side of the charging pile 2, thereby ensuring that the electric-assisted bicycle can be charged after parking.
[0039] Reference Figures 1-4 As an optional embodiment, the support base 1 includes a front end face 13 and a rear end face 14; the charging pile 2 is installed on the side close to the front end face 13; the V-shaped groove 111 gradually decreases in size along the direction from the front end face 13 to the rear end face 14.
[0040] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the front end 13 refers to the end of the electric bicycle where the front wheel is close to the support base 1 when the bicycle is parked; while the rear end 14 is the other end opposite to the front end 13.
[0041] Specifically, the rear end face 14 of the support base 1 is provided with a ramp, and the angle of the ramp is small, so as to facilitate pushing the electric bicycle to stop on the bearing surface 11.
[0042] Preferably, the opening size of the V-groove 111 at the end near the rear end face 14 is smaller than the opening size of the V-groove 111 at the end near the front end face 13.
[0043] Specifically, the V-groove 111 has an opening size of 100mm at the end near the rear end face 14, while the V-groove 111 has an opening size of 200mm at the end near the front end face 13. During the process of stopping the electric-assisted bicycle, the front wheel enters the interior of the V-groove 111 through the small size and gradually slides towards the bottom surface along the side wall of the V-groove 111.
[0044] When the electric-assisted bicycle rolls backward, the front wheel gradually moves towards the rear end face 14 along the V-shaped groove 111. As the opening size of the upper bearing surface 111 decreases from the front end face 13 to the rear end face 14, the side wall of the upper bearing surface 111 can fix the front wheel, thereby effectively preventing the electric-assisted bicycle from rolling backward.
[0045] Furthermore, the V-shaped groove 111 is tilted on both sides, and the electric bicycle tire touches the side wall of the V-shaped groove 111 and slides down the side wall to the center position of the V-shaped groove 111.
[0046] It should be noted that the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle is placed inside the V-shaped groove 111, and the front wheel abuts against the side wall of the V-shaped groove 111 and moves along the side wall of the V-shaped groove 111 towards the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 111; the front wheel can be limited by the side walls of the V-shaped groove 111 to ensure that the front wheel is set in the center position of the V-shaped groove 111.
[0047] Specifically, when the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle is positioned in the center of the V-groove 111, the symmetrical axis of the bicycle's front end is also positioned in the center of the V-groove 111. This ensures that the position of the receiving terminal mounted on the end face of the electric-assisted bicycle along the long axis of the support base 1 remains fixed, further ensuring the accurate connection position between the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal.
[0048] Furthermore, limit frames 3 are provided on both sides of the V-shaped groove 111, which are used to support the front wheel of the electric bicycle.
[0049] It should be noted that, in order to further prevent the electric-assisted bicycle from tipping to either side, limit frames 3 are set on both sides of the V-shaped groove 111. The limit frames 3 can limit the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle, effectively preventing the electric-assisted bicycle from tipping to one side.
[0050] Reference Figures 1-5 In one embodiment provided in this application, a through hole 16 is provided inside the support base 1, and the through hole 16 penetrates the support base 1 in a vertical direction.
[0051] It should be noted that the through hole 16 extends from the upper bearing surface 11 to the bottom support surface 12. In order to further reduce the material used in the support base 1, the support base 1 adopts a hollow structure inside.
[0052] Specifically, the positions of the through hole 16 and the V-groove 111 coincide.
[0053] Furthermore, a floating component 4 is installed inside the through hole 16; the floating component 4 includes a connecting plate 41 fixedly connected to the support base 1, a positioning cylinder 42 disposed on the surface of the connecting plate 41, a reset component 43 disposed inside the positioning cylinder 42, and a limiting plate 44 connected to the end of the reset component 43; a recess is formed on the surface of the limiting plate 44, and the recess trajectory is adapted to the V-groove 111.
[0054] It should be noted that the connecting plate 41 is installed on the bottom support surface 12, and the connecting plate 41 is connected and fixed to the support base 1 by bolts; the connecting plate 41 is fixedly connected to the positioning cylinder 42, and there are multiple sets of positioning cylinders 42, which are arranged along the surface of the connecting plate 41.
[0055] Specifically, a reset member 43 is provided inside the positioning cylinder 42, which is preferably a spring; one end of the reset member 43 is fixedly connected to the positioning cylinder 42, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 44; during the compression process, the reset member 43 is gradually compressed along the inner wall of the positioning cylinder 42, and the cooperation between the positioning cylinder 42 and the reset member 43 effectively prevents the reset member 43 from exceeding its elastic deformation range during the compression process.
[0056] Preferably, a damper is also provided between the connecting plate 41 and the limiting plate 44. The damper can further eliminate the shaking caused by the deformation of the reset member 43, and ensure that the limiting plate 44 remains stable during vertical movement.
[0057] Specifically, since the through hole 16 penetrates the support base 1, the V-shaped groove 111 is interrupted at the middle position, and the limiting plate 44 is adapted to the V-shaped groove 111. The limiting plate 44 and the V-shaped groove 111 can cooperate to form a new limiting groove.
[0058] Furthermore, a transmitter terminal 5 is installed on the crossbeam of the charging pile 2 near the side where the electric-assisted bicycle is parked, and a receiver terminal 6 that cooperates with the transmitter terminal 5 is installed on the front face of the electric-assisted bicycle; the receiver terminal 6 and the transmitter terminal 5 are connected and cooperated, and the electric-assisted bicycle can start wireless charging.
[0059] It should be noted that the connection between the transmitting terminal 5 and the receiving terminal 6 is existing technology and will not be elaborated here; when the transmitting terminal 5 and the receiving terminal 6 are connected, the electric-assisted bicycle can be charged.
[0060] Furthermore, the limiting plate 44 has a recessed surface to support the front wheel of the electric bicycle. The limiting plate 44 can move in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring a good fit between the receiving terminal 6 and the transmitting terminal 5.
[0061] It should be noted that the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle can be placed inside the recess on the surface of the limiting plate 44; under the influence of the weight of the electric-assisted bicycle, the limiting plate 44 will press down on the reset piece 43; causing the position of the electric-assisted bicycle in the vertical direction to change to a certain extent, so as to better adapt to the floating of the vertical position of different vehicles, thereby ensuring good contact between the transmitting terminal 5 and the receiving terminal 6.
[0062] In use, the user needs to push the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle into the inner side of the V-groove 111. The front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle abuts against the side wall of the V-groove 111 and slides along the side wall of the V-groove 111 towards the center position of the V-groove 111. Because the bottom surface of the V-groove 111 is inclined, after the front wheel of the electric-assisted bicycle is inserted into the V-groove 111, the front wheel will slide towards the front end face 13 under the influence of gravity, so that the receiving terminal 6 and the transmitting terminal 5 installed on the front end face of the electric-assisted bicycle can cooperate. By the cooperation of the limiting plate 44 and the reset member 43, the vertical position of the electric-assisted bicycle can be further controlled, ensuring good contact between the transmitting terminal 5 and the receiving terminal 6. The inclined setting of the V-groove 111 can effectively prevent the electric-assisted bicycle from rolling when parked on a steep slope.
[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the methods and devices described in detail above are merely embodiments, and those skilled in the art can modify these embodiments in different ways as long as they do not depart from the scope of this utility model.
[0064] Importantly, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
