Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle storage technology, and more specifically, to a bicycle rack. Background Technology
[0002] In long-distance travel or outdoor activities, bicycles often need to be carried to the destination for further riding. Therefore, the demand for mounting bicycles on the outside of vehicles is increasing. In this case, bicycle racks play a crucial role, needing not only to ensure the bicycle's safety and stability during transport but also to consider user convenience and the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Traditional bicycle racks primarily mount bicycles on the roof or rear. While roof racks are widely used, they are more difficult to operate when loading and unloading, easily causing physical strain on the user. Furthermore, the increased height may affect the bicycle's ability to navigate low obstacles, and at high speeds, it increases wind resistance, affecting the bicycle's range. In contrast, rear bicycle racks are generally accepted due to their ease of installation and removal and minimal impact on vehicle performance.
[0003] When not carrying the bicycle, to reduce the space occupied by the rack and minimize the safety hazards posed by the rack protruding from the bicycle body to surrounding vehicles and pedestrians, a folding structure is often used to fold and store the rack, thus reducing its size. Existing racks typically use a combination of pneumatic rods, hydraulic rods, or connecting blocks and plates to ensure that the rack can be folded and unfolded. However, existing rack folding structures are bulky and still occupy a significant amount of space even when folded. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a bicycle rack that can solve the problem of the large size of the existing bicycle rack folding structure and reduce the space occupied by the folding structure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a bicycle hanger is provided, comprising a first connecting frame and a second connecting frame. A first end of the second connecting frame is connected to the first connecting frame, and a second end of the second connecting frame is adapted to connect to a trailer structure at the rear of a vehicle. A second connecting member is fixedly disposed on the second connecting frame, and the second connecting member is provided with at least one snap-fit groove. The second end of the first connecting frame is rotatably connected to the second connecting member. A sliding member is disposed within the first connecting frame, and the end of the sliding member extends out of the first connecting frame and can be snapped and fixed with any of the snap-fit grooves, so that the first connecting frame can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. A pedal assembly is disposed on the first connecting frame, and the pedal assembly is drivenly connected to the sliding member and can drive the sliding member to disengage from the snap-fit grooves.
[0006] Furthermore, the locking slot includes a first locking slot, a second locking slot, and a third locking slot. When the sliding member is locked in the first locking slot, the first connecting frame is in a folded state. When the sliding member is locked in the second locking slot, the first connecting frame is in a vertical state. When the sliding member is locked in the third locking slot, the first connecting frame is in an extended state.
[0007] Furthermore, the first connecting frame is rotatably connected to the second connecting member via the first connecting shaft. An elastic member is also provided inside the first connecting frame. One end of the elastic member is sleeved on the first connecting shaft, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the sliding member and can apply a driving force toward the first connecting shaft to the sliding member.
[0008] Furthermore, the foot pedal assembly includes a mounting base and a connecting part. The mounting base is fixedly disposed on the side of the first connecting frame, and the connecting part is rotatably disposed on the mounting base. The first end of the connecting part is connected to the sliding member. When the second end of the connecting part is pressed down, the first end of the connecting part is lifted up, thereby driving the sliding member to disengage from the locking groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the foot pedal assembly also includes a connecting piece, with a second connecting shaft passing through the connecting part. The first end of the connecting piece is rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft, and the second end of the connecting piece is connected to the sliding member.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting part is provided with an operating component and a support component. The first end of the operating component is rotatably connected to the connecting part, and the second end of the operating component extends away from the mounting base. The second end of the operating component is provided with a foot pedal. The operating component has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the operating component is in the unfolded state, the operating component overlaps the support component. At this time, pressing down the foot pedal causes one end of the connecting part to lift up, thereby driving the sliding component to move. When the operating component is in the folded state, the operating component contacts or approaches the side of the first connecting frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the support includes two parts, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the second end of the connecting part. The operating member is U-shaped, and the two arms of the operating member are adapted to rest on the two support parts respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, the bicycle rack also includes a functional cover, which is installed on the connecting part. The functional cover has a clearance channel that extends to the support part. After the operating member passes through the clearance channel, it can contact the support part where it is located. And after the first end of the operating member passes through the clearance channel, it connects with the sliding member.
[0013] Furthermore, a stop is provided on the side wall of the clearance channel. When the operating component is in the unfolded state, the stop limits the operating component to the support.
[0014] Furthermore, the foot pedal assembly also includes a reset member, which is sleeved on the second connecting shaft and can reset the connecting part to a horizontal state.
[0015] Applying the technical solution of this utility model, the first connecting frame is one of the main support structures of the bicycle hanger, used to connect the rear of the car and the support frame, ensuring that the hanger can be firmly fixed to the car. Simultaneously, the first connecting frame provides support to the support frame. The second connecting frame connects the first connecting frame to the trailer structure at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring that the hanger is firmly attached to the vehicle. The second connecting member is the core component that enables the rotatable connection between the first and second connecting frames. The second connecting member typically includes a rotating shaft and a fixing structure, allowing the first connecting frame to rotate relative to the second connecting frame, thereby adjusting the bending angle of the first connecting frame to adapt to different vehicle rear shapes or specific user requirements for the hanging angle. This rotatable connection improves the flexibility and adaptability of the bicycle hanger, making it more suitable for users' needs regarding the bending angle of the first connecting frame in different application scenarios.
[0016] The foot pedal assembly typically consists of a pedal, a lever, and a linkage mechanism. Users can trigger the linkage mechanism with a simple foot pedal action, thereby controlling the sliding component. The locking slot serves to engage with one end of the sliding component, locking the first connecting frame and the second connecting component. Different positions of the locking slot result in different locking positions for the first connecting frame. The sliding component is housed within the first connecting frame and can extend into or disengage from the locking slot under the drive of the foot pedal assembly, thus switching between locked and unlocked states. When the user presses down on the foot pedal assembly, causing the sliding component to disengage from the locking slot, the first connecting frame is unlocked. The user can then adjust the angle of the first connecting frame. Once the desired angle is achieved, releasing the foot pedal assembly allows the sliding component to engage with the locking slot corresponding to the desired angle, locking the angle of the first connecting frame and achieving the effect of adjusting its bending angle.

[0033] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. The present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] See also Figures 1 to 13 As shown, this utility model provides a bicycle rack, which includes a first connecting frame 1 and a second connecting frame 5. The first end of the second connecting frame 5 is connected to the first connecting frame 1, and the second end of the second connecting frame 5 is adapted to connect to the trailer structure at the rear of the vehicle. A second connecting member 3 is fixedly provided on the second connecting frame 5. The second connecting member 3 is provided with at least one snap-fit groove 31. The second end of the first connecting frame 1 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 3. A sliding member 33 is provided inside the first connecting frame 1. The end of the sliding member 33 extends out of the first connecting frame 1 and can be snapped and fixed with any of the snap-fit grooves 31, so that the first connecting frame 1 can switch between a folded state and an unfolded state. A pedal assembly 32 is provided on the first connecting frame 1. The pedal assembly 32 is drivenly connected to the sliding member 33 and can drive the sliding member 33 to disengage from the snap-fit groove 31.
[0035] In the above technical solution, the first connecting frame 1 is one of the main support structures of the bicycle hanger, used to connect the rear of the car and the support frame, ensuring that the hanger can be firmly fixed to the car. The second connecting frame 5 is used to connect the first connecting frame 1 to the trailer structure at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring that the hanger is firmly attached to the vehicle. The second connecting member 3 is the core component that realizes the rotatable connection between the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting frame 5. The second connecting member 3 typically includes a rotating shaft and a fixing structure, allowing the first connecting frame 1 to rotate relative to the second connecting frame 5, thereby adjusting the bending angle of the first connecting frame 1 to adapt to the shape of different vehicle rear ends or the user's specific needs for the hanging angle. This rotatable connection improves the flexibility and adaptability of the bicycle hanger, making it more suitable for users' needs for the bending angle of the first connecting frame 1 in different application scenarios.
[0036] The foot pedal assembly 32 typically consists of a pedal, a lever, and a linkage mechanism. Users can trigger the linkage mechanism with a simple foot pedal action, thereby controlling the sliding member 33. The locking groove 31 engages with one end of the sliding member 33, thus locking the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting member 3. Different positions of the locking groove 31 result in different locking positions for the first connecting frame 1. The sliding member 33 is located within the first connecting frame 1 and can extend into or disengage from the locking groove 31 under the drive of the foot pedal assembly 32, thus switching between the locked and unlocked states of the first connecting frame 1. When the user presses down on the foot pedal assembly 32, causing the sliding member 33 to disengage from the locking groove 31, the first connecting frame 1 is in the unlocked state. At this time, the user can adjust the angle of the first connecting frame 1. After adjusting to the desired angle, releasing the foot pedal assembly 32 allows the sliding member 33 to engage with the locking groove 31 corresponding to the desired angle, thereby locking the angle of the first connecting frame 1 and achieving the effect of adjusting the bending angle of the first connecting frame 1.
[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting frame 1 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 3 via the first connecting shaft 34. The first connecting frame 1 is also provided with an elastic member 35. One end of the elastic member 35 is sleeved on the first connecting shaft 34, and the other end of the elastic member 35 is connected to the sliding member 33 and can apply a driving force toward the first connecting shaft 34 to the sliding member 33.
[0038] In the above technical solution, the first connecting shaft 34 is used to connect the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting member 3, enabling the first connecting frame 1 to rotate around the first connecting shaft 34, ensuring that the first connecting frame 1 can be adjusted at the required angle. One end of the elastic member 35 is sleeved on the first connecting shaft 34, and the other end is connected to the sliding member 33. When the foot pedal assembly 32 is stepped on, causing the sliding member 33 to disengage from the locking groove 31, the elastic member 35 is stretched. Then, after adjusting the first connecting frame 1 to the desired angle and releasing the foot pedal assembly, the elastic member 35 returns to its initial length under the elastic action, thereby applying a driving force toward the first connecting shaft 34 to the sliding member 33, pulling the sliding member 33 back into the locking groove 31. By setting the elastic member 35, the automatic reset of the sliding member 33 is achieved, thereby enabling automatic locking of the first connecting frame 1 without requiring the user to manually reset the sliding member 33 to lock the first connecting frame 1, greatly simplifying the operation steps and improving the user experience.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the foot pedal assembly 32 includes a mounting base 321 and a connecting part 322. The mounting base 321 is fixedly disposed on the side of the first connecting frame 1, and the connecting part 322 is rotatably disposed on the mounting base 321. The first end of the connecting part 322 is connected to the sliding member 33. When the second end of the connecting part 322 is pressed down, the first end of the connecting part 322 is lifted up, thereby driving the sliding member 33 to disengage from the locking groove 31.
[0040] In the above technical solution, the mounting base is fixedly installed on the side of the first connecting frame 1. Its function is to provide a stable mounting platform for the connecting part 322. The connecting part 322 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 321, forming a lever or linkage mechanism, which utilizes mechanical principles to achieve labor-saving operation. When the second end of the connecting part 322 is pressed down with a small force, due to the lever effect, the first end of the connecting part 322 can pull the sliding member 33 upward with a larger force, thereby causing the sliding member 33 to disengage from the locking groove 31 and the first connecting frame 1 to be in the unlocked state. This ensures that the user only needs a small downward force to complete the conversion of the hanging bracket state, improving the ease of use of the foot pedal assembly 32.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, the foot pedal assembly 32 further includes a connecting piece 324, a second connecting shaft 323 is provided inside the connecting part 322, the first end of the connecting piece 324 is rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft 323, and the second end of the connecting piece 324 is rotatably connected to the sliding member 33.
[0042] In the above technical solution, the connecting piece 324 is used to connect the second connecting shaft 323 and the slider 33. The second connecting shaft 323 passes through the connecting part 322. When the connecting part 322 moves under the action of external force, the movement is transmitted to the slider 33 through the connecting part 322 and the connecting piece 324, ensuring that the slider 33 can move up and down accurately and in a timely manner with the movement of the connecting part 322. Through the combination of the second connecting shaft 323 and the connecting piece 324, efficient motion transmission from foot pedal operation to slider 33 movement is achieved, ensuring that the foot pedal action can be accurately converted into slider movement, and enhancing the accuracy and reliability of the foot pedal assembly 32's control over the slider 33.
[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting part 322 is provided with an operating member 327 and a support part 325. The first end of the operating member 327 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 322, and the second end of the operating member 327 extends away from the mounting base 321. The second end of the operating member 327 is provided with a foot pedal. The operating member 327 has a folded state and an unfolded state. When the operating member 327 is in the unfolded state, the operating member 327 overlaps the support part 325. At this time, pressing down the foot pedal causes one end of the connecting part 322 to lift up, thereby driving the sliding member 33 to move. When the operating member 327 is in the folded state, the operating member 327 contacts or approaches the side of the first connecting frame 1.
[0044] In the above technical solution, the operating component 327 has a folded state and an unfolded state. In the unfolded state, the operating component overlaps the support portion 325. On the one hand, this increases the distance of the lever arm on the user's pressing side, so as to minimize the downward force required for the user to move the slider 33 upward to unlock under the leverage effect. On the other hand, the second end of the operating component 327 is provided with a foot pedal, which increases the area for the user to apply downward force, making it easier for the user to step on it. This allows the user to apply downward force through the foot pedal, thereby triggering the lifting action of the connecting portion, indirectly driving the movement of the slider 33, and realizing the unlocking and folding of the first connecting frame 1. The support portion 325 is used to support the operating component 327 in the unfolded state, ensuring that the operating component 327 will not bend downward and become unable to apply downward force when pressed. Rotating the operating component 327 upward around the connecting portion 322 so that the operating component 327 contacts or approaches the side of the first connecting frame 1, the operating component 327 is in a folded state. This allows the operating component 327 to be stored when the foot pedal operation is not required, significantly reducing the space occupied by the operating component 327.
[0045] Based on the above embodiment, the support portion 325 includes two parts, respectively disposed on both sides of the second end of the connecting portion 322. The operating member 327 is U-shaped and has two extension arms, which are adapted to rest on the two support portions 325 respectively. In this way, when the second end of the operating member 327 is pressed down, it can be ensured that the operating member 327 applies a force evenly to the connecting portion 322, thereby ensuring that the connecting portion 322 applies a force evenly to both ends of the sliding member 33, so that both ends of the sliding member 33 can be simultaneously disengaged from the locking groove 31.
[0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the bicycle rack further includes a functional cover 329, which covers the connecting part 322. The functional cover 329 is provided with a clearance channel 330, which extends to the support part 325. After the operating member 327 passes through the clearance channel 330, it can contact the support part 325. The first end of the operating member 327 passes through the clearance channel 330 and is connected to the sliding member 33.
[0047] In the above technical solution, the functional cover 329 mainly serves to protect and cover the component. The functional cover 329 is placed over the connecting part 322, not only protecting the internal mechanical structure from damage such as dust and moisture, extending the service life of the components, but also enhancing the overall aesthetics of the foot pedal assembly 32, making it more in line with modern design aesthetics. Simultaneously, the functional cover 329 is provided with a clearance channel 330, which provides a passage for the operating component 327 from its rotation center, which is rotatably connected to the connecting part 322, to the support part 325. This clearance channel guides and limits the operating component 327, ensuring that the support part 325 can accurately support the operating component 327, restricting the range of motion of the operating component 327, preventing unnecessary displacement during use, and further improving operational stability and safety.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present invention, a stop portion 331 is provided on the side wall of the clearance channel 330. When the operating member 327 is in the unfolded state, the stop portion 331 limits the operating member 327 to the support portion 325.
[0049] In the above technical solution, the stop portion 331 restricts the movement range of the operating member 327. When the operating member 327 is in the unfolded state, the stop portion 331 can fix it at the position where it docks with the support portion 325, ensuring that the support portion 325 can accurately support the operating member 327 and prevent the operating member 327 from shifting during the transition from the folded state to the unfolded state, which would prevent the operating member 327 from accurately reaching the bearing position of the support portion 325. It also limits the operation of the operating member 327 during the foot pedaling process, preventing the operating member 327 from shifting after receiving the downward pressure of the foot pedal, thus avoiding the problem of unstable movement of the sliding member 33. This improves the accuracy and safety of the operation. In this embodiment, by setting the stop portion 331, stable positioning of the operating member during unfolding is ensured, reducing operational errors and enabling the user to accurately perform the unlocking or locking action of the first connecting frame 1, thereby improving the reliability of the operation.
[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, the snap-fit groove 31 includes a first snap-fit groove 311, a second snap-fit groove 312, and a third snap-fit groove 313. When the sliding member 33 snaps into the first snap-fit groove 311, the first connecting frame 1 is in a folded state. When the sliding member 33 snaps into the second snap-fit groove 312, the first connecting frame 1 is in a vertical state. When the sliding member 33 snaps into the third snap-fit groove 313, the first connecting frame 1 is in an extended state.
[0051] In the above technical solution, the first connecting frame 1 is folded towards the second connecting frame 5, so that the first connecting frame 1 is close to or against the second connecting frame 5. At this time, the first connecting frame 1 is in a folded state. Then, the sliding member 33 is engaged into the first locking groove 311, thereby locking the folded state of the first connecting frame 1. Folding the first connecting frame 1 can significantly reduce the volume of the bicycle rack, making it easier to store the bicycle rack. When the sliding member 33 is engaged into the second locking groove 312, the first connecting frame 1 is in a vertical state. The engagement of the sliding member 33 with the second locking groove 312 locks the vertical state of the first connecting frame 1, ensuring the stability of the first connecting frame 1 when the user hangs the bicycle on the rack. When the user needs to open the trunk, in order to avoid the bicycle rack obstructing the trunk door, the first connecting frame 1 can be bent away from the second connecting frame 5 to an extended state. Then, the sliding member 33 is engaged into the third locking groove 313, thereby locking the extended state of the first connecting frame 1.
[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the foot pedal assembly 32 further includes a reset member 326, which is sleeved on the second connecting shaft 323 and can reset the connecting part 322 to a horizontal state.
[0053] In the above technical solution, the reset component typically uses elastic elements such as torsion springs and springs. When the connecting part 322 rotates downward under the action of downward pressure, the reset component 326 can reset the connecting part 322 and its operating part 327 to a horizontal state, so as to facilitate the next pressing operation. By setting the reset component 326, its automatic reset function significantly improves the convenience after operation. Users do not need to manually adjust the foot pedal assembly to its original position after use, saving time and reducing unnecessary operation steps, making the entire process smoother and more convenient.
[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the foot pedal assembly 32 further includes a pedal cover 328, which covers the operating member 327.
[0055] In one embodiment of this utility model, the pedal cover 328 is a protective cover covering the operating component 327, typically made of a non-slip, wear-resistant material, such as rubber or hard plastic. The pedal cover 328 provides a more stable contact surface for the user's foot, reducing the risk of slipping, and also provides physical protection for the operating component 327, preventing it from being subjected to external impacts or corrosion, thus extending the service life of the operating component. Furthermore, the design of the pedal cover often integrates into the overall style of the product, enhancing the aesthetics of the mounting bracket and maintaining a good visual effect even when not in use.
[0056] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects: The first connecting frame 1 is one of the main support structures of the bicycle hanger, used to connect the rear of the car and the support frame, ensuring that the hanger can be firmly fixed to the car. At the same time, the first connecting frame 1 provides support for the support frame 4. The second connecting frame 5 is used to connect the first connecting frame 1 to the trailer structure at the rear of the vehicle, ensuring that the hanger is firmly attached to the vehicle. The second connecting member 3 is the core component for realizing the rotatable connection between the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting frame 5. The second connecting member 3 typically includes a rotating shaft and a fixing structure, allowing the first connecting frame 1 to rotate relative to the second connecting frame 5, thereby adjusting the bending angle of the first connecting frame 1 to adapt to the shape of different rear parts of vehicles or the user's specific needs for the hanging angle. This rotatable connection improves the flexibility and adaptability of the bicycle hanger, making it more suitable for the user's needs for the bending angle of the first connecting frame 1 in different application scenarios.
[0057] The foot pedal assembly 32 typically consists of a pedal, a lever, and a linkage mechanism. Users can trigger the linkage mechanism with a simple foot pedal action, thereby controlling the sliding member 33. The locking groove 31 engages with one end of the sliding member 33, thus locking the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting member 3. Different positions of the locking groove 31 result in different locking positions for the first connecting frame 1. The sliding member 33 is located within the first connecting frame 1 and can extend into or disengage from the locking groove 31 under the drive of the foot pedal assembly 32, thus switching between the locked and unlocked states of the first connecting frame 1. When the user presses down on the foot pedal assembly 32, causing the sliding member 33 to disengage from the locking groove 31, the first connecting frame 1 is in the unlocked state. At this time, the user can adjust the angle of the first connecting frame 1. After adjusting to the desired angle, releasing the foot pedal assembly 32 allows the sliding member 33 to engage with the locking groove 31 corresponding to the desired angle, thereby locking the angle of the first connecting frame 1 and achieving the effect of adjusting the bending angle of the first connecting frame 1.
