Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of electric bicycle and electric motorcycle accessories, specifically involving a new type of electric vehicle frame and shock-absorbing battery integrated structure. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bicycles and electric motorcycles are a type of transportation that integrates modern electric technology with traditional bicycle design concepts. They represent a series of technological upgrades and functional expansions based on the basic structure of a regular bicycle. The motor, as the core power output device, provides powerful support for the vehicle's movement, delivering the appropriate torque according to the rider's needs, helping them easily cope with various road conditions. Whether climbing hills or accelerating, riding becomes more effortless and comfortable. A battery serves as an auxiliary energy source, providing a stable power supply to the motor, enabling the electric vehicle to travel a certain distance using its own energy storage system without an external power source.
[0003] The frame is the core load-bearing structure of an electric vehicle, a crucial component for balancing safety, performance, and cost. It supports the weight of the entire vehicle and the rider, bearing the impact, vibration, and load pressure during riding. It also serves as a mounting platform for other components (such as the motor, battery, suspension system, and braking system), ensuring the coordinated operation of all parts. The frame includes a battery compartment to secure the battery. Different battery types are used in standard electric bicycles and electric motorcycles, including 72V32A, 72V20A, 60V20A, and 48V24A. Currently, electric vehicle frames typically place the battery compartment under the footrests and saddle, and are equipped with dual shock absorbers. This results in a longer wheelbase (the distance between the center points of the two wheels), making the electric vehicle appear bulky. Furthermore, existing frames do not provide space for adding a battery pack, failing to meet the riding needs of different user groups. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a new type of electric vehicle frame and shock-absorbing battery integrated structure, with a centrally located single shock absorber, changing the placement position of the battery and shortening the wheelbase of the electric vehicle frame.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A novel integrated structure for an electric vehicle frame and shock-absorbing battery includes a handlebar frame, two main beams arranged symmetrically on both sides of the handlebar frame, a support column above the main beams, a seat frame connected to the support column and extending rearward, a rear horizontal fork connected to the rear wheel between the two main beams, a connecting rod for connecting the two support columns on the upper part of the support column, a shock absorber between the connecting rod and the rear horizontal fork, a first support plate on each side of the rear horizontal fork, the lower part of the first support plate connected to the raised tail end of the main beam, and a battery box for fixing the battery pack on the upper part of the first support plate.
[0007] Furthermore, the steering frame includes a main tube connected to the main beam and a head tube located at the front end of the main tube. The head tube is angled to make it easier for the rider to control the steering of the electric vehicle.
[0008] Furthermore, each main beam includes a horizontal section, a first inclined section extending obliquely upward from the front end of the horizontal section, a second inclined section curving obliquely upward from the rear end of the horizontal section, and a bent section connected to the first inclined section and extending towards the head frame. Smooth transitions are provided between the horizontal section and the first inclined section, between the first inclined section and the bent section, and between the horizontal section and the second inclined section to avoid stress concentration. The two bent sections converge and connect in the middle of the main beam. A first reinforcing rod is provided between the two first inclined sections. The bottom end of the main beam is connected to the first reinforcing rod. A second reinforcing rod is connected between the first inclined section and the support column. A third reinforcing rod is provided between the two horizontal sections.
[0009] Furthermore, the third reinforcing rod has a connecting seat in the middle. The connecting seat includes two parallel side plates and a connecting plate between the two side plates. The height of the side plates is greater than the height of the connecting plate. The top edge of the side plates is flush with the top edge of the connecting plate. The part of the side plate protruding from the connecting plate has an arc-shaped notch for connecting with the third reinforcing rod. The side edge of the side plate away from the connecting plate has a semi-circular notch for connecting with the rear horizontal fork.
[0010] Furthermore, the front end of the first support plate is fixedly connected to the support column, and a second support plate is provided between the two first support plates. The second support plate is located above the connecting seat and has a battery box. The length of the first support plate is greater than the length of the second support plate. The length of the first support plate is increased according to the number of battery packs. For example, the length of the first support plate can be 2-4 times the length of a single battery. For instance, two battery packs are placed on the second support plate and one battery pack is placed on the first support plate. In practical applications, the first support plates are located on both sides of the rear swingarm, which is connected to the electric vehicle wheel. The second support plate is located between the two first support plates, and both the first and second support plates have battery boxes. The battery position and battery type can be freely adjusted on the first and second support plates.
[0011] Furthermore, a foot pedal is installed above the second reinforcing bar, and a battery pack installation space is installed below the foot pedal. The battery pack installation space is formed by the first reinforcing bar, the second reinforcing bar, and the horizontal section. Depending on the user group, battery packs can be added in the installation space. For example, if a food delivery driver needs a longer range, more battery packs can be installed to improve the electric vehicle's range.
[0012] Furthermore, the rear swingarm includes a left rear swingarm and a right rear swingarm that extend forward and backward and are symmetrically arranged. The front ends of the left rear swingarm and the right rear swingarm are connected by a cross tube. The length of the cross tube is less than the distance between the two main beams. The middle part of the cross tube is connected to the semi-circular notch of the connecting seat. The rear end of the left rear swingarm is provided with a left rear swingarm shaft hole, and the rear end of the right rear swingarm is provided with a right rear swingarm shaft hole. The left rear swingarm shaft hole and the right rear swingarm shaft hole are connected to the axle of the rear wheel of the electric vehicle. The rear ends of the left rear swingarm and the right rear swingarm are connected to a crank rod. The crank rod can be, for example, a regular parabolic shape. The apex of the crank rod is provided with a first hinge seat connected to the shock absorber.
[0013] Furthermore, a second hinge seat is provided in the middle of the connecting rod, and the two ends of the shock absorber are hinged to the first hinge seat and the second hinge seat respectively. Since the second hinge seat is located in the middle of the connecting rod, the connecting seat is located in the middle of the third reinforcing rod, the middle of the horizontal tube is connected to the semi-circular notch of the connecting seat, and the first hinge seat is located at the top of the curved rod, the shock absorber is located in the middle of the entire electric vehicle, thereby balancing the weight of the entire vehicle body, keeping the center of gravity stable during the ride, effectively filtering road bumps and unevenness, and converting most of the impact force into the compression and rebound motion of the shock absorber, thus improving riding comfort.
[0014] Furthermore, the seat frame includes seat steel pipes that are respectively connected to the top of the two support columns and a fourth reinforcing rod that is connected between the two seat steel pipes and parallel to the connecting rod. A support diagonal rod is provided between the seat steel pipe and the support column.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This utility model discloses a novel integrated structure for an electric vehicle frame and shock-absorbing battery. The main beam connects the handlebar frame, seat frame, rear swingarm, and shock absorber to ensure the overall stability of the electric vehicle. First support plates are located on both sides of the rear swingarm, with a second support plate between them. Battery boxes are mounted on both the first and second support plates. The length of the first support plates can be increased according to the number of battery packs, allowing for flexible adjustment of battery position and type on both plates. A battery pack mounting space is provided below the foot pedals, supported by a first reinforcing rod and a second reinforcing rod. The design incorporates a horizontal section that encloses the vehicle, allowing for the addition of battery packs to cater to different user groups and improve the electric vehicle's range. The second hinge seat is located in the middle of the connecting rod, the connecting seat in the middle of the third reinforcing rod, and the middle of the horizontal tube connects to the semi-circular notch of the connecting seat. The first hinge seat is located at the apex of the curved rod, ensuring the shock absorber is positioned in the center of the entire electric vehicle. This balances the overall weight of the vehicle, maintaining a stable center of gravity during operation, effectively filtering road bumps and unevenness, and converting most of the impact force into the compression and rebound motion of the shock absorber, thus improving riding comfort. This novel electric vehicle frame and shock-absorbing battery integrated structure places the battery pack on both sides of the wheel, with a centrally located single shock absorber, reducing the wheelbase and resulting in a compact and aesthetically pleasing overall electric vehicle body.

The length of the first support plate 801 is greater than the length of the second support plate 802. The length of the first support plate 801 is increased according to the number of battery packs 9. For example, the length of the first support plate 801 can be 2-4 times the length of a single battery. For example, two battery packs are placed on the second support plate 802, and one battery pack is placed on the first support plate 801.
