Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of saddle base plate assembly structure, and in particular to an assembly structure for a saddle base plate. Background Technology

[0002] The saddle, as a crucial component of an electric bicycle, primarily functions to: support the rider's entire weight, enhancing riding comfort; and reduce and absorb vibrations and bumps during operation, ensuring safety, handling stability, comfort, and energy efficiency. The saddle consists of the saddle cover, saddle foam, and saddle base plate. The fixing structure between the saddle base plate and the frame is particularly important. Over time, the saddle base plate's strength diminishes under stress, affecting riding safety. Defects in the assembly structure between the saddle base plate and the frame lead to uneven stress, shortening its lifespan. Damaged base plates result in frequent saddle replacements, impacting the electric bicycle's fuel economy. The lifespan of an electric bicycle saddle is mainly determined by factors such as the saddle base plate's material, fixing structure, and load-bearing area.

[0003] Analysis has confirmed that the current saddle fixing methods in the electric bicycle industry can be divided into the following categories:

[0004] The first type of saddle fixing method:

[0005] like Figure 9 As shown, the structure includes a first saddle surface 1A, a first saddle assembly 2A, a saddle tube 3A, a frame sleeve 4A, and a buckle 5A. The first saddle surface 1A covers the outer perimeter of the first saddle assembly 2A. The first saddle assembly 2A is fixed to one end of the saddle tube 3A by bolts. The other end of the saddle tube 3A is inserted into the frame sleeve 4A and locked in place by the buckle 5A. The frame sleeve 4A is mounted on the frame body. The saddle tube is used as a transition point between the saddle and the frame. This structure is complex to assemble, and failure of any of the fixing bolts could affect driving safety and handling stability.

[0006] The second type of saddle fixing method:

[0007] like Figure 10 As shown, the assembly includes a second saddle surface 1B, a second saddle assembly 2B, screws 3B, and a fixing plate 4B. The second saddle surface 1B covers the outer perimeter of the second saddle assembly 2B. Multiple screws 3B are provided at the lower end of the second saddle assembly 2B, each screw 3B being threaded into a corresponding threaded hole on the fixing plate 4B. The lower end of the fixing plate 4B is connected to the frame body. Integrating the screws 3B and the fixing plate 4B into a single unit improves stability. Compared to the first fixing method, this method simplifies the installation structure, eliminates the saddle tube portion, improves assembly efficiency and consistency, and enhances safety.

[0008] The third type of saddle fixing method:

[0009] like Figure 11 As shown, the assembly includes a third saddle surface 1C, a third saddle assembly 2C, fixing bolts 3C, fixing clips 4C, and a saddle plate 5C. The third saddle surface 1C covers the outer perimeter of the third saddle assembly 2C. The saddle plate 5C is connected to the lower end of the third saddle assembly 2C through the combined action of the fixing bolts 3C and the fixing clips 4C. The lower end of the saddle plate 5C is connected to the frame body. This simplifies the connection structure, and while the fixing bolts 3C are under stress, the fixing clips 4C can also effectively engage the fixing function, further improving the installation structure compared to the two previous schemes.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] like Figure 1-8 As shown, an assembly structure for a saddle base plate includes a saddle cover 1, a saddle base plate 2, and a frame body 3. The saddle cover 1 is installed on the upper end of the saddle base plate 2, and the lower end of the saddle base plate 2 is connected to the frame body 3. The saddle base plate 2 is a hollow structure with the same outer contour as the frame body 3. The lower end of the saddle base plate 2 is embedded in the periphery of the frame body 3, and the lower end of the saddle cover 1 covers at least the periphery of the saddle base plate 2. The saddle cover 1, covering the periphery of the saddle base plate 2, not only provides shock absorption but also protects the inner saddle base plate 2, reducing wear and tear and extending its service life. Furthermore, the saddle cover 1 is easy to replace, disassemble, and wash.

[0043] like Figure 3-7 As shown, the saddle base plate 2 is an annular structure with the same outer contour as the frame body 3. The side wall cross-section of the saddle base plate 2 is an inverted U-shaped structure 21. The outer periphery of the frame body 3 is embedded in the inverted U-shaped structure 21. The upper end of the frame body 3 is provided with an annular boss 31, and the outer periphery of the annular boss 31 is embedded in the inverted U-shaped structure 21 of the side wall of the saddle base plate 2. The inner ring of the saddle base plate 2 is provided with multiple decorative part fixing posts 23 along the circumference. The frame body 3 is provided with multiple through holes 33, and the support 4 is provided with multiple decorative part fixing holes 41. Each decorative part fixing post 23 passes through a through hole 33 and is inserted into a corresponding decorative part fixing hole 41.

[0044] The saddle base plate 2 and the frame body 3 are assembled and fixed through the cooperation of the inverted U-shaped structure and the annular boss 31, the threaded connection of the fixing screws 22 in the corresponding fixing screw holes 32, and the insertion of the decorative part fixing post 23 through the through hole 33 and in the decorative part fixing hole 41. The saddle base plate 1 is injection molded from a plastic mold and simultaneously injection molded into decorative fixing posts, including the fixing screws 22 on the saddle base plate 1, which are inserted at the same time during the injection molding process. This can solve part of the weight ratio of plastic parts in the whole vehicle required by the new national standard. After the weight of the saddle base plate is reduced, some of the external decorative parts of the electric bicycle can be retained, which improves the appearance of the electric bicycle and gives it a certain competitiveness in terms of overall appearance.

[0045] like Figure 4-8 As shown, the inner ring of the saddle base plate 2 is provided with multiple fixing buckles along the circumference, and each fixing buckle is embedded with a fixing screw 22. The frame body 3 is provided with multiple threaded holes 31, and the fixing screw 22 is threaded into the corresponding threaded hole 32. The frame body 3 is a one-piece stamped iron structure, and a reinforcing rib 34 is provided in the middle of the frame body 3. At the same time, fixing screw holes 32, through holes 33, and raised reinforcing ribs 34 for local reinforcement are stamped out. The reinforcing ribs 34 on the frame body 3 can strengthen the frame body 3, reduce the deformation of the frame body 3 during riding, and extend the service life of the frame body 3.

The decorative part fixing post 23 passes through the through hole 33 and is inserted into the decorative part fixing hole 41, thereby equipping the overall structure.

[0048] The control method in this embodiment is controlled by a controller. The controller circuit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Furthermore, this document is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, and the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail here.
