Car light protection mechanism and electric vehicle

Abstract

This utility model discloses a vehicle headlight protection mechanism, relating to the field of electric vehicle transportation protection technology. It includes a headlight protection bracket, which is fixedly installed on the handlebar mount of the electric vehicle. The headlight protection bracket has a through hole for the handlebar mount to pass through, and its top is flat and higher than the top of the headlight. This utility model also discloses an electric vehicle including the headlight protection mechanism described above. Because the top of the headlight protection bracket is higher than the top of the headlight, when the packaging box is stepped on or subjected to pressure, the top of the packaging box directly contacts the headlight protection bracket, not the headlight, thus preventing damage to the headlight. Furthermore, during transportation, the packaging box is constantly rubbing against the headlight protection bracket, preventing wear and tear on the headlight. Moreover, because the headlight protection bracket is fixed to the handlebar mount, it can transfer the force on the packaging box to the electric vehicle body, preventing damage to the packaging box even under significant external forces.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle transportation protection technology, and in particular to a vehicle headlight protection mechanism and an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electric vehicle lights are designed with a relatively high height to consider aesthetics and illumination effects. During transportation, the handlebars and frame are typically transported separately. After transport, the handlebar stem is connected and secured to the frame's mounting tube. However, because many lights are now positioned high, their tops extend above the top of the handlebar stem. When packing the vehicle, the box lid directly contacts the top of the light. Due to rough handling during loading, transport, and unpacking, the light may be crushed by being stepped on, excessively high stacking of boxes, or inverted boxes. Furthermore, the constant contact between the top of the light and the box during transport and unpacking leads to friction damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a light protection mechanism and an electric vehicle design to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle headlight protection mechanism and an electric vehicle to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the headlights are not easily damaged and can be better protected.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a vehicle headlight protection mechanism, including a headlight protection bracket, which is fixedly installed on the handlebar mounting stem of an electric vehicle. The headlight protection bracket has a through hole for the handlebar stem to pass through, and the top of the headlight protection bracket is flat and higher than the top of the headlight.

[0006] In some embodiments, a fixing plate is also included, which is fixedly connected to the handlebar mounting post, and the headlight guard is detachably connected to the fixing plate.

[0007] In some embodiments, the headlight protection bracket includes a vertical portion and a horizontal portion, the vertical portion and the horizontal portion being perpendicular to and fixedly connected, the vertical portion having the through hole, and both the vertical portion and the horizontal portion being fixedly connected to the fixing piece.

[0008] In some embodiments, the fixing piece includes a horizontal fixing part and an arc-shaped connecting part, the horizontal fixing part being fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped connecting part, the horizontal fixing part being used to be fixedly connected to the flat part, and the bottom of the arc-shaped connecting part being used to be fixedly connected to the handlebar mounting stem.

[0009] In some embodiments, the flat portion is provided with a first threaded hole, and the horizontal fixing portion is provided with a second threaded hole. The bolt passes through the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole in sequence to fix the headlight protection bracket to the fixing piece.

[0010] In some embodiments, a reinforcing plate is also included, wherein two adjacent sides of the reinforcing plate are fixedly connected to the side of the upright portion and the side of the flat portion, respectively.

[0011] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate is a right-angled triangular plate, with its two right-angled sides fixedly connected to the side of the upright portion and the side of the flat portion, respectively.

[0012] In some embodiments, two first threaded holes are provided on the flat portion, and the two first threaded holes are arranged along the length direction of the flat portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the distance between the top of the headlight and the top of the headlight protector is 40-130mm.

[0014] This utility model also provides an electric vehicle, including the headlight protection mechanism described above.

[0015] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:

[0016] The headlight protection mechanism provided by this utility model ensures that, after packaging, the top of the headlight protection bracket is higher than the top of the headlight. When the box lid is closed, the lid fits snugly against the top of the headlight protection bracket, while the top of the headlight remains a certain distance from the top of the box. Therefore, when the box is stepped on or subjected to pressure, the top of the box directly contacts the headlight protection bracket, preventing direct contact with the headlight and thus protecting it from damage. Furthermore, during transportation, the box rubs against the headlight protection bracket, preventing wear and tear on the headlight and effectively protecting it from damage. Since the headlight protection bracket is fixed to the handlebar mounting post, it transfers the force from the box to the electric vehicle's frame. The electric vehicle frame supports the headlight protection bracket, and the headlight protection bracket, in turn, supports the box, preventing damage even under significant external forces. Even with a damp box, the support from the vehicle frame and the headlight protection bracket prevents easy damage. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vehicle headlight protection mechanism and an electric vehicle to solve the problems existing in the prior art, so that the headlights are not easily damaged and can be better protected.

[0024] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figures 1-3As shown, this utility model provides a vehicle headlight protection mechanism, including a headlight protection bracket 1. The headlight protection bracket 1 is fixedly installed on the handlebar mounting stem 4 of an electric vehicle, and has a through hole for the handlebar stem to pass through. The top of the headlight protection bracket 1 is flat and higher than the top of the headlight 2. After packaging, because the top of the headlight protection bracket 1 is higher than the top of the headlight 2, when the lid of the packaging box is closed, the lid fits snugly against the top of the headlight protection bracket 1. At this time, there is still a certain distance between the top of the headlight 2 and the top of the packaging box. When the packaging box is stepped on or pressure is applied, the top of the packaging box directly contacts the headlight protection bracket 1, instead of directly contacting the headlight 2, thus preventing the headlight 2 from being damaged. Moreover, during transportation, the packaging box is constantly rubbing against the headlight protection bracket 1, preventing wear and tear on the headlight and effectively protecting the headlight 2 from damage. Furthermore, since the headlight protection bracket 1 is fixed to the handlebar mounting stem 4, the headlight protection bracket 1 can transfer the force on the packaging box to the body of the electric vehicle. That is, the electric vehicle body supports the headlight protection bracket 1, and the headlight protection bracket 1 can support the packaging box, so that the packaging box will not be damaged when subjected to a large external force. Moreover, even for damp packaging boxes, thanks to the support of the vehicle body and the headlight protection bracket 1, the damp packaging box will not be easily damaged.

[0027] In some embodiments, the headlight protection bracket 1 further includes a fixing plate 3, which is fixedly connected to the handlebar mounting stem 4, preferably welded. The headlight protection bracket 1 and the fixing plate 3 are detachably connected. The fixing plate 3 ensures that the headlight protection bracket 1 does not shift or fall off when subjected to external forces (such as packaging box pressure, vibration impact) during transportation, providing a continuous and stable protective foundation for the headlight 2. The fixing plate 3 is fixedly connected to the handlebar stem, and the structure of the fixing plate 3 can be customized according to the size and shape of the stem of different vehicle models (such as adjusting the hole diameter and clamping method). The detachable connection between the headlight protection bracket 1 and the fixing plate 3 allows the same protection bracket body to be adapted to different fixing plates 3, realizing a universal design for the fixing plate 3 to adapt to different vehicle models and the protection bracket, reducing mold development costs and inventory pressure. The protection bracket directly bears friction and pressure during transportation. If wear or damage occurs, only the headlight protection bracket needs to be removed and replaced, without replacing the fixing plate 3 and other components. Moreover, current headlight protection brackets are compatible with most fixing plates. The detachable design allows maintenance costs to be focused on the vulnerable protective trays rather than the overall structure, making it particularly suitable for scenarios with frequent logistics (such as multiple transfers by distributors).

[0028] In some embodiments, the vehicle headlight protective bracket 1 includes a vertical portion 11 and a horizontal portion 12. The vertical portion 11 and the horizontal portion 12 are perpendicular to each other and fixedly connected. The vertical portion 11 has a through hole, and both the vertical portion 11 and the horizontal portion 12 are fixedly connected to a fixing piece 3. It should be noted that the top surface of the vertical portion 11 is set as a plane, higher than the height of the vehicle headlight 2, for fitting snugly against the packaging box. Both the vertical portion 11 and the horizontal portion 12 are fixed to the fixing piece 3, forming a multi-point connection, with fixing connection points in both the horizontal and vertical directions to prevent loosening caused by transportation vibrations. It should also be noted that the vertical portion 11 is provided with a wire-passing hole for threading wires. The vertical portion 11 and the horizontal portion 12 are integrally formed.

[0029] In some embodiments, the fixing piece 3 includes a horizontal fixing part and an arc-shaped connecting part 31. The top of the horizontal fixing part is fixedly connected to the top of the arc-shaped connecting part, and the bottom of the arc-shaped connecting part is fixedly connected to the handlebar mounting stem. The arc-shaped connecting part 31 has a groove shape. The top of the groove is fixedly connected to the horizontal fixing part, and the bottom of the groove is fixedly connected to the top of the handlebar stem. Preferably, it is welded or integrally injection molded. When the pressure from the flat part borne by the horizontal fixing part is transmitted to the stem through the arc-shaped connecting part, the arc-shaped surface can convert the concentrated force into a uniformly distributed force along the groove, making it less prone to deformation.

[0030] In some embodiments, the flat portion 12 is provided with a first threaded hole 121, and the horizontal fixing portion is provided with a second threaded hole. Bolts pass through the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole in sequence to fix the headlight protection bracket to the fixing piece. After the first threaded hole 121 and the second threaded hole are aligned, they are fixed by bolts to form a rigid connection with surface contact. The bolt preload can eliminate the gap between the flat portion 12 and the horizontal fixing portion 31, avoiding loosening caused by transportation vibration.

[0031] In some embodiments, the headlight protection bracket 1 further includes a reinforcing plate 5, with two adjacent sides of the reinforcing plate 5 fixedly connected to the sides of the upright portion 11 and the flat portion 12, respectively. The reinforcing plate 5 increases the overall structural mass and rigidity, reducing connection loosening or fatigue damage caused by resonance. The reinforcing plate 5 can be integrally molded with the upright portion 11 and the flat portion 12 by injection molding or welding.

[0032] In some embodiments, the reinforcing plate 5 is a right-angled triangular plate, with its two right-angled sides fixedly connected to the sides of the upright portion 11 and the flat portion 12, respectively. The two sides of the right-angled triangle are perpendicularly connected (upright portion 11 and flat portion 12) to form a stable mechanical structure. The hypotenuse (hypotenuse of the reinforcing plate 5) can decompose loads in any direction into tensile or compressive forces along the right-angled sides, preventing the structure from bending or torsional deformation due to stress. It should be noted that the reinforcing plate 5 can also be a square or rectangular plate, with two adjacent sides of the square or rectangular plate fixedly connected to the sides of the upright portion 11 and the flat portion 12, respectively.

[0033] In some embodiments, two first threaded holes 121 are provided on the flat portion 12, and the two first threaded holes 121 are arranged along the length direction of the flat portion 12. The two first threaded holes 121 are arranged along the length direction of the flat portion 12 to form a line fixation. Compared with a single bolt connection, the horizontal shear force and friction force can be distributed to two bolts, reducing the force on a single bolt and reducing the risk of bolt breakage or stripping. Double bolt fixation can restrict the rotational freedom of the flat portion 12 around the bolt holes and avoid torsion caused by off-center loading.

[0034] In some embodiments, the distance between the top of the headlight 2 and the top of the headlight protective bracket 1 is 40-130mm, preferably 40mm. A 40mm gap is particularly suitable for small electric vehicles (such as electric bicycles), whose handlebar area vertical space is usually ≤150mm. A 40mm gap can prevent the protective bracket from being too high and obstructing the dashboard or handlebar operating parts, ensuring ergonomic rationality.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] This utility model also provides an electric vehicle, including a handlebar stem, a handlebar mounting stem 4, a headlight 2, a vehicle body, and the headlight protection mechanism described in Embodiment 1. The headlight 2 is fixedly mounted on the vehicle body, and the handlebar stem can pass through the headlight protection mechanism and be fixedly connected to the handlebar mounting stem 4. Furthermore, a lampshade can be installed on the headlight 2 to further protect it from damage. This structure makes the headlight less prone to damage and provides better protection for the headlight 2.

At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the idea of ​​this utility model. In summary, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
