Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1:

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a child protective chain cover structure, including an inner cover 1 and an outer cover 2. The inner cover 1 is an elliptical shell with an open front end, and the outer cover 2 is an elliptical shell with an open rear end. The inner cover 1 has a rear axle through hole 3, a crossbeam through hole 4 and a central axle through hole 5 sequentially opened from left to right on its side. The inner cover 1 also has a rear axle through hole 12 and a central axle through hole 13 sequentially opened from left to right on its side. The left end of the inner cover 1 has an installation gap 6 that connects the rear axle through hole 3 and the crossbeam through hole 4 sequentially. The installation gap 6 facilitates the elastic installation and insertion of the inner cover 1 with the rear axle through hole 3 and the crossbeam through hole 4. The rear side of the inner cover 1 is symmetrically and integrally provided with fixing rings 8 on both sides of the installation gap 6. The two fixing rings 8 are respectively provided with fixing mechanisms. The front edge of the inner cover 1 is provided with a slot 10 that is movable and engages with the rear side of the outer cover 2.

[0024] Furthermore, both the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2 are elastic plastic shells, which facilitate elastic deformation during installation. The inner cover 1 is an elliptical shell with an outer diameter on the side of the central axle through hole 5 that is larger than the outer diameter on the side of the rear axle through hole 3. The outer cover 2 is an elliptical shell with an outer diameter on the side of the central axle through hole 13 that is larger than the outer diameter on the side of the rear axle through hole 12. This allows the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2 to better match and protect the central axle, rear axle, flywheel, and frame of the new vehicle.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer side of the slot 10 is provided with evenly distributed fastening slots 11 along the circumferential direction of the ellipse, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the inner side of the outer cover 2 is integrally provided with buckles 14 that are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ellipse and engage with the buckle groove 11, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the lower rear edge of the buckle 14 is provided with a guide slope. By fitting the outer cover 2 onto the outside of the slot 10 and pressing the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2, while the outer cover 2 is engaged with the slot 10, the buckle 14 on the outer cover 2 is guided and squeezed into the buckle groove 11 by the guide slope, thus completing the engagement and fastening of the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2.

[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, fixing holes 15 are evenly distributed on the side of the inner cover 1 outside the central shaft through hole 5. Fixing holes 16 are symmetrically distributed on the side of the inner cover 1 on both sides above the crossbeam through hole 4. Fixing holes 15 and fixing holes 16 facilitate the fixed connection between the inner cover 1 and the frame.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the outer edge of the rear side of the inner cover 1 is an arc-shaped bevel 17. The arc-shaped bevel 17 can ensure that the chain guard will not rub against the freewheel, spokes and hub during riding, thus preventing abnormal noise.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism is fixing component 7, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the fixing component 7 includes a fixing bolt 71 and a fixing nut 72. The tail end of the fixing bolt 71 passes through two fixing rings 8 from top to bottom. The tail end of the fixing bolt 71 located below the two fixing rings 8 is threaded with a fixing nut 72. The fixing bolt 71, the fixing nut 72 and the two fixing rings 8 facilitate the connection and fixing of the inner cover 1 at the installation gap 6 after installation.

[0029] When using:

[0030] The installation gap 6 facilitates the flexible installation and insertion of the inner cover 1 with the rear axle through hole 3 and the crossbeam through hole 4. The fixing holes 15 and 16 facilitate the fixed connection of the inner cover 1 with the frame. The fixing bolts 71, fixing nuts 72, and two fixing rings 8 facilitate the connection and fixation of the inner cover 1 at the installation gap 6 after installation. By fitting the outer cover 2 on the outside of the slot 10 and pressing the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2, while the outer cover 2 is engaged with the slot 10, the buckle 14 on the outer cover 2 is guided and squeezed into the buckle groove 11 by the guide slope, thus completing the engagement and fastening of the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2. After being engaged and fixed, the inner cover 1 and the outer cover 2 form a protective chain cover structure that corresponds well with the vehicle's central axle, rear axle, flywheel, frame, and chain, which can completely cover the chain for comprehensive protection.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figure 7-8 This embodiment is identical to Embodiment 1 in all other respects, except that the fixing mechanism is replaced with fixing component 29. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 8 As shown, the fixing component 2 9 includes a fixing pin 91, an elastic post 92, and a limiting protrusion 93. The tail end of the fixing pin 91 is provided with a cross groove, which divides the tail end of the fixing pin 91 into four elastic posts 92. The elastic posts 92 pass through two fixing rings 8 in sequence. The tail ends of the four elastic posts 92 located below the two fixing rings 8 are respectively provided with a limiting protrusion 93. The upper surface of the limiting protrusion 93 abuts against the bottom of the fixing ring 8 located below the installation gap 6. Through the cooperation of the fixing pin 91, the elastic post 92, the limiting protrusion 93, and the two fixing rings 8, the installation gap 6 of the installed inner cover 1 can be more conveniently and quickly elastically squeezed and fixed.

[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
