Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of bicycle equipment, and in particular to a magnetic quick-release structure and a bicycle storage bag. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, adding storage bags to bicycles for carrying items is a common need. Among existing technologies, conventional installation structures generally rely on methods such as strap wrapping, Velcro fastening, or magnetic connections. Strap wrapping requires the operator to manually thread the strap through the frame gaps and tighten or adjust the adhesive, a relatively cumbersome and time-consuming process, especially inconvenient when frequent disassembly and assembly are required or when operating alone. While magnetic connections are convenient to install, they have some technical issues. If the magnetic force is too strong, although it ensures stability after installation, disassembly becomes difficult and may even damage the bag or the mounting point. Conversely, if the magnetic force is reduced to facilitate disassembly, the storage bag is prone to loosening and falling off during rides due to road bumps, vibrations, or sharp turns, leading to lost items or compromised riding safety. Therefore, the installation and disassembly mechanisms need further optimization. Utility Model Content

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 7 According to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic quick-release structure includes a first connector 100, a second connector 200, and a locking member 300. The first connector 100 includes a first base 110 and a mounting block 120. The mounting block 120 protrudes from the first base 110 and has a locking groove 121. The second connector 200 includes a second base 210 and has a mounting groove 220. The sidewall of the mounting groove 220 has a first clearance hole 221. The mounting block 120 can be magnetically attracted into the first base. The mounting slot 220 and the locking member 300 are slidably connected to the second base 210. The locking member 300 has a locked position and an unlocked position. The mounting slot 220 can magnetically attract the locking member 300 to slide to the locked position. When the mounting block 120 is attracted to the mounting slot 220, the locking member 300 can slide to the locked position and be engaged with the locking slot 121 through the first clearance hole 221 to prevent the mounting block 120 from detaching from the mounting slot 220. When the locking member 300 is driven to slide to the unlocked position, it can detach from the locking slot 121. The mounting block 120 can be magnetically attracted into the mounting slot 220. During the attraction process, it can cooperate with the locking member 300. The locking member 300 can be magnetically attracted to the locked position and engaged with the locking slot 121, so that the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 can be locked, making the connection more stable. Moreover, it can be automatically attracted and engaged by magnetic force during installation, making installation convenient. The magnetic force between the mounting block 120 and the mounting slot 220 can be set to be weak. During disassembly, simply drive the locking member 300 to the unlocked position, and the mounting block 120 can be unlocked and easily removed from the mounting slot 220. This allows for easy assembly and disassembly while ensuring a secure connection.

[0038] Specifically, the locking member 300 can slide relative to the second base 210 and can be held in the locked position by magnetic force. During installation, the mounting block 120 and the mounting groove 220 can automatically align and attract each other under the action of magnetic force. The mounting block 120 can first abut against the locking member 300 and first move the locking member 300 away from the locked position so that the mounting block 120 can be inserted into the mounting groove 220. After the mounting block 120 is inserted into place, the locking groove 121 can be aligned with the locking member 300, and the locking member 300 automatically snaps into the locking groove 121 under the action of magnetic force. At this time, the mounting block 120 cannot be pulled out of the mounting groove 220, and the connection is firm. When disassembly is required, the user can operate the locking member 300 to slide to the unlock position. The specific structure of the locking member 300 will not be described here. The locking member 300 can be removed from the mounting groove 220 through the first clearance hole 221 so that the mounting block 120 can be pulled out from the mounting groove 220. It is understood that in the above structure, the corresponding magnetic attraction force can be set to be smaller, so that it can be easily operated while still being firmly connected.

[0039] It is conceivable that the aforementioned magnetic connection structure can be made of magnets and materials that can be magnetically attracted, and placed on the corresponding components.

[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the locking member 300 includes an annular portion 310 and a locking portion 320. The annular portion 310 is disposed around the mounting groove 220, and the locking portion 320 is disposed within the annular portion 310. In the locked position, the locking portion 320 can pass through the first clearance hole 221 and enter the mounting groove 220. Specifically, the annular portion 310 can be configured as a square ring, a circular ring, or other different shapes, as long as it can surround the side of the mounting groove 220. The locking portion 320 is protruding from the inner sidewall of the annular portion 310, and the annular portion 310 can slide along the side of the mounting groove 220. In the locked position, the locking portion 320 extends into the mounting groove 220 from the first clearance hole 221. In the unlocked position, the locking portion 320 exits from the mounting groove 220. Through the above structure, the locked and unlocked states can be switched.

[0041] Reference Figures 5 to 7In some embodiments of this utility model, the sidewall of the mounting groove 220 is further provided with a second clearance hole 222 opposite to the first clearance hole 221. The locking member 300 also includes an unlocking guide 330, which is disposed within the annular portion 310 and is disposed opposite to the locking portion 320. In the unlocked position, the unlocking guide 330 can pass through the second clearance hole 222 into the mounting groove 220 and can drive the mounting block 120 to move in the direction of disengaging from the mounting groove 220. Specifically, the mounting groove 220 can be generally square, and the annular portion 310 can also be generally square. At least one locking portion 320 can be provided on the inner side of the annular portion 310 near the first clearance hole 221, and an unlocking guide 330 can be provided on the inner side opposite to the locking portion 320. The sidewall of the mounting groove 220 opposite to the first clearance hole 221 is provided with a second clearance hole 222, which allows the unlocking guide 330 to pass through. During unlocking, the locking member 300 slides to the unlocked position, at which point the locking part 320 disengages from the mounting groove 220, while the unlocking guide part 330 on the opposite side enters the mounting groove 220 and pushes out the mounting block 120. This reduces the magnetic force between the mounting block 120 and the mounting groove 220, allowing the user to easily separate the first connector 100 from the second connector 200. The unlocking process simultaneously provides disassembly assistance, demonstrating a clever structure.

[0042] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the unlocking guide portion 330 has a guide surface 331, which can abut against the protruding end of the mounting block 120, and the guide surface 331 is inclined towards the bottom wall of the mounting groove 220 from the outside to the inside of the annular portion 310. Specifically, the inclined guide surface 331 can gradually push the mounting block 120 out, making the fit smoother and preventing jamming.

[0043] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, two locking parts 320 are provided, and at least two locking grooves 121 are provided on opposite side walls of the mounting block 120. The locking grooves 121 extend along the sliding direction of the locking member 300. Specifically, the mounting groove 220 can be generally square, and the annular part 310 can also be generally square. The locking parts 320 can be located at two adjacent corners within the annular part 310. The shape of the mounting block 120 matches that of the mounting groove 220, and locking grooves 121 are provided on both side walls corresponding to the locking parts 320. Therefore, when the mounting block 120 is reversed, the locking grooves 121 can still be aligned with the locking parts 320, so that the first connecting member 100 and the second connecting member 200 can be installed in both directions.

[0044] It is conceivable that there can be four locking slots 121, and two opposite locking slots 121 can be provided on the side wall of the mounting block 120. The partition between the locking slots 121 can be used as a positioning structure to position the locking member 300.

[0045] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 220 and / or the mounting block 120 are provided with a magnetic body 400. Specifically, the magnetic body 400 can be a magnet or an iron block, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 220 can be provided with a magnet, and the mounting block 120 can be provided with an iron block or a magnet. Alternatively, the bottom wall of the mounting groove 220 can be provided with an iron block, and the mounting block 120 can be provided with a magnet.

[0046] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, a magnetic body 400 is provided on the side of the annular portion 310 near the first clearance hole 221, and a magnetic body 400 is also provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 220. Specifically, the magnetic body 400 can be a magnet or an iron block. The magnetic body 400 is provided on a portion of the annular portion 310, and the magnetic body 400 is located on the side near the first clearance hole 221, thereby enabling the annular portion 310 to slide laterally and towards the locking position without the need for an elastic element to reset, resulting in a simple structure.

[0047] Reference Figures 2 to 7 In some embodiments of this utility model, the second base 210 has a receiving cavity 230, and the side wall of the second base 210 is provided with a third clearance hole 240 communicating with the receiving cavity 230. The first clearance hole 221 communicates with the receiving cavity 230. The locking member 300 slides within the receiving cavity 230, and the locking member 300 is provided with an operating member 340. The operating member 340 extends to the outside of the second base 210 through the third clearance hole 240. Specifically, the second base 210 may include a bottom shell and a cover plate. The bottom shell and the cover plate are connected to form the receiving cavity 230. The locking member 300 can define a sliding channel within the receiving cavity 230. The third clearance hole 240 allows the operating member 340 of the locking member 300 to extend to the outside of the second base 210. The operating member 340 may be a pull rope, a handle, or other structure, allowing the user to hold the operating member 340 to unlock the locking member 300.

[0048] It is conceivable that two mounting slots 220 and two mounting blocks 120 can be provided, with the two mounting slots 220 spaced apart and the two mounting blocks 120 spaced apart. Two annular portions 310 can also be provided, which can be connected to each other and surround the mounting slots 220 respectively. They can also extend from the third clearance hole 240 to the outside of the second base 210 through an operating member 340. The two sets of structures can further improve the connection stability.

[0049] It is understandable that there may be three or more mounting slots 220 and mounting blocks 120.

This allows the bicycle storage bag to be quickly attached to and detached from the bicycle. It also includes a bag body 500, with one of the first connector 100 and the second connector 200 disposed on the bag body 500 and the other on the bicycle. The bag body 500 can be quickly attached to and detached from the bicycle via the first connector 100 and the second connector 200, and is securely connected to the bicycle, preventing it from falling off and facilitating user use.

[0051] Reference Figures 8 to 9 In some embodiments of this utility model, the second connector 200 is disposed on the bag body 500, and the first connector 100 further includes a clamping part 130, which can clamp onto the bottom of the bicycle seat 600. Specifically, the bottom of the bicycle seat 600 is usually provided with a crossbar, and the crossbar is equipped with reflective elements and other structures. The clamping part 130 can clamp onto the crossbar, so that the first connector 100 can be installed on the bottom of the seat. The bag body 500 can be attracted to the first connector 100 through the second connector 200, achieving quick installation. When disassembling, the user only needs to reach under the seat and pull the operating part 340 of the locking part 300 to unlock it. After unlocking, the entire bag body 500 can be pulled out through the operating part 340, which can be operated with one hand and quickly disassembled, making it convenient for the user.
