Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bicycle technology, specifically relating to a cargo-carrying folding bicycle basket. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, electric bicycles and electric bikes have a wide range of uses both domestically and internationally. Different types of bicycles are available for different purposes, such as ordinary bicycles, mountain bikes, and freight bicycles. Freight bicycles are commonly used in warehouses and supermarkets for transporting goods, and can also be used for carrying large luggage during short trips. For example, Chinese utility model patents 202121701837.0 and 202322272231.5 both feature a large structure in their frames for placing items.

[0003] Existing cargo bicycles typically feature a fixed basket integrated into the frame, which takes up considerable space when not in use. Additionally, various foldable and detachable baskets and boxes are disclosed in the prior art, which, if adapted for bicycles, would allow consumers to easily adapt them to their needs. However, these designs still have drawbacks: their internal and external volumes are fixed in use, while the number of items a consumer needs to hold varies. When carrying few items, space is wasted; when carrying more items, the design cannot be expanded. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that, in the prior art, the large basket of a bicycle cannot be resized according to the quantity of items carried.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the aforementioned problem is:

[0006] A folding bicycle basket for carrying cargo includes a base plate, which is fixedly connected to the main beam of a bicycle via a connector; side plates are rotatably connected to both sides of the base plate, and the front and rear ends of the two side plates are connected via a folding assembly; a flexible liner is provided on the upper surface of the base plate, and the front and rear ends of the flexible liner are fitted and connected to the front and rear sides of the two side plates.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model with the above structure are:

[0008] The side panels of this utility model are rotatably connected to the base plate, allowing them to move away from or close to each other, thus adjusting the size of the internal space; the flexible inner liner seals the front and back sides of the cargo compartment, perfecting the four-sided enclosure of the cargo compartment.

[0009] As a preferred option, a further technical solution to the above structure is:

[0010] The base plate includes an outer edge support rib and a panel. The panel is set inside the outer edge support rib, and the side of the panel is welded to the outer edge support rib.

[0011] The beneficial effects obtained from the above features are: the base plate has a simple structure and high strength.

[0012] The side plate includes frame reinforcement, with wire mesh fixed inside the frame reinforcement. Several connection holes are provided at equal intervals from top to bottom on the inner side of the front and rear ends of the frame reinforcement.

[0013] The beneficial effects obtained from the above features are: the mesh structure reduces the weight of the warehouse, and the mesh surface has a certain degree of elasticity, reducing impact damage to the internal items.

[0014] The lower and upper parts of the side panel are set at an obtuse angle.

[0015] The beneficial effects obtained from the above features are that the side panel angle is set at the angle position when closed, which can provide a larger space. Therefore, compared with the straight side panel, the upper ends of the two side panels are closer together when the side panel is closed.

[0016] Several connecting straps are sewn and fixed on both sides of the front end of the flexible bladder. The connecting straps are equipped with Velcro, and the connecting straps are tied and fixed to the frame reinforcement of the side plate.

[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, the purpose of which is only to better understand the content of the present invention. Therefore, the examples given do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] This utility model designs a foldable cargo compartment for a loading bicycle. The bicycle can be a human-powered bicycle or an electric bicycle. The cargo compartment can be mounted in front of or behind the seat. The bicycle should have a beam or platform for placing the cargo compartment.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a folding bicycle basket for carrying goods, including a base plate 1, which is fixedly connected to the main beam of the bicycle through a connector; side plates 2 are rotatably connected to both sides of the base plate 1, and the front and rear ends of the two side plates 2 are connected through a folding assembly 3; a flexible liner 4 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 1, and the front and rear ends of the flexible liner 4 are fitted and connected to the front and rear sides of the two side plates 2.

[0032] The cargo compartment is connected to the main frame of the bicycle. A connecting frame can be installed at the front and / or rear of the base plate 1. The middle of the connecting frame is hinged to the base plate 1. The upper and lower ends of the connecting frame are equipped with clamps that are fastened to the bicycle frame.

[0033] The rotating connection between the base plate 1 and the side plate 2 can be either a hinge or a pivot.

[0034] Optionally, the base plate 1 includes an outer edge support rib 101 and a panel 102. The panel 102 is disposed inside the outer edge support rib 101, and the side of the panel 102 is welded integrally with the outer edge support rib 101. The panel 102 can be a single flat steel plate or a mesh plate, so that the bottom of the warehouse has a certain strength and a certain load-bearing capacity.

[0035] Optionally, the side plate 2 includes a frame rib 201, with a mesh 202 fixed inside the frame rib 201, and several connection holes are provided at equal intervals from top to bottom on the inner side of the front and rear ends of the frame rib 201.

[0036] As a preferred option, the lower and upper parts of the side panel 2 are set with obtuse angles; the angle is preferably between 140 degrees and 150 degrees.

[0037] Optionally, the flexible liner 4 has several connecting straps 5 sewn and fixed on both sides of its front end. The connecting straps 5 are equipped with Velcro, and the connecting straps 5 are tied and fixed to the frame ribs 201 of the side plate 2. The flexible liner 4 can be made of Oxford cloth, canvas, etc.

[0038] Alternatively, the folding assembly 3 includes: a first connecting rod 31, the upper end of which is hinged to one side plate 2, and the lower end of which is also provided with a shaft hole; a second connecting rod 32, the upper end of which is hinged to the other side plate 2, and the lower end of which is also provided with a shaft hole; a U-shaped buckle 33, which is fastened to the side surface of the lower end of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32; a pin 34, which passes through the U-shaped buckle 33, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32, and has a stop block 36 fixed to one end. A spring 35 is provided on the inner side of the stop block 36 and fitted onto the surface of the pin 34. The spring 35 abuts against the back side of the U-shaped buckle 33. An adjusting block 37 is installed on the other end of the pin 34. The adjusting block 37 is threadedly connected to the pin 34 and can move on the pin 34.

[0039] The process of using this solution:

[0040] 1) When loading items into the warehouse, lift the U-shaped latch 33 so that the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are in a straight line. At this time, the lower ends of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are located in the U-shaped latch 33. The spring 35 abuts against the back of the U-shaped latch 33, and the other end supports the stop block 36 outward. The stop block 36 drives the pin 34 to move backward, so that the adjusting block 37 at the other end of the pin 34 presses against the surface of the first connecting rod 31 or the second connecting rod 32. The adjustment block 37 and the U-shaped latch 33 are used to lock the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 in a straight line. In this state, the two side plates 2 are far apart, thus providing a wider opening for consumers to put items in.

[0041] 2) When the items are placed, pull the U-shaped lock 33 backward, and the spring 35 will retract. As a result, the length of the pin 34 located on the front side increases, and at least one of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 can leave the interior of the U-shaped lock 33. This allows the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 to form an angle, and the two side plates 2 to tilt towards the middle, thereby compressing the cargo compartment volume to a size that matches the items.

[0042] The advantages of this utility model are: 1) It can be folded and occupies little space when not in use; 2) The volume can be adjusted according to the contents, saving space; 3) The side panel can be tilted down to fix the contents and prevent them from shaking; 4) The lock is easy to adjust.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of the present utility model. All equivalent changes made based on the content of the present utility model specification and its drawings are included within the scope of the present utility model.
