[0030] To better explain and facilitate understanding of this utility model, a detailed description of its specific embodiments is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this document, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are used interchangeably with... Figure 4 Taking the orientation as a reference, the direction where the handle 221 is located is "front", the direction where the lid 2 is located is "back", the direction where the handle 221 of the lid 2 is located is "up", and the direction where the snap-fit ​​part 21 of the lid 2 is located is "down".

[0031] This utility model provides a user-friendly bicycle frame storage box and bicycle. The storage box includes a frame and a lid. The downtube of the frame is hollow and has a window to form a storage chamber. The lid covers the window and is locked to the downtube wall by a locking assembly. The locking assembly is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the lid and includes a handle, a latch, and a connector. The handle is located on the front of the lid, and the latch is located on the back of the lid and behind the inner wall of the downtube. One end of the handle passes through the lid and the latch in sequence and is connected to the connector. The advantage is that by turning the handle counterclockwise, the latch extends to the inner wall of the downtube and locks against it, thus locking the lid. By turning the handle clockwise, the latch exits the inner wall of the downtube, releasing the lock, thus enabling quick assembly and disassembly of the lid. This greatly simplifies the operation of taking out and putting in items, improves the convenience of use, and solves the technical problem that the lid of the storage box on the existing bicycle frame is bolted to the frame, making it difficult to take out and put in items.

[0032] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention can be understood more clearly and thoroughly, and that the scope of the present invention can be fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 A convenient bicycle frame storage box includes a frame and a cover 2. The lower tube 1 of the frame is hollow and has a window 20 to form a storage chamber. The cover 2 covers the window 20 and is locked to the inner wall of the lower tube 1 by a locking assembly 22.

[0035] Among them, see Figures 2 to 4 The locking assembly 22 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the cover 2, including a handle 221, a locking tongue 222 and a connector 224. The handle 221 is placed on the front of the cover 2, and the locking tongue 222 is placed on the back of the cover 2 and located behind the inner wall of the lower tube 1. One end of the handle 221 passes through the cover 2 and the locking tongue 222 in sequence and is connected to the connector 224, so that the handle 221 and the locking tongue 22 are fixed as a whole.

[0036] In actual production applications, the window 20 and the cover 2 are approximately rectangular. After the cover 2 covers the window 20, the overall shape is consistent with the shape of the lower tube 1. The edge of the window 20 is provided with an installation step, and the edge of the cover 2 fits tightly with the installation step to prevent dust, rainwater, etc. from entering the storage chamber.

[0037] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some feasible solutions, the locking assembly 22 also includes an elastic element 225 and a mounting washer 223. The mounting washer 223 is located on the back of the latch 222. The mounting washer 223 includes an annular step and a columnar portion from front to back. The annular step communicates with the columnar portion, and the aperture of the annular step is smaller than the aperture of the columnar portion.

[0038] The elastic element 225 is sleeved on the connector 224 and placed in the columnar part. One end of the elastic element 225 abuts against the connector 224, and the other end abuts against the annular step. The connector 224 passes through the mounting washer 223 and the locking tongue 222 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the end of the handle 221. In the compressed state, the elastic element 225 provides a force to the locking tongue 222 to press against the inner wall of the lower tube 1. In the absence of external force, the locking tongue 222 is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the lower tube 1, maintaining the locked state.

[0039] The elastic element 225 can be an existing elastic structure such as a helical compression spring or a disc spring.

[0040] See Figure 4 To facilitate the positioning and installation of the cover 2 and ensure installation stability, a snap-fit ​​part 21 is provided at the lower end of the back of the cover 2. The snap-fit ​​part 21 extends downward and forms a snap-fit ​​position with the back of the cover 2, so that the lower edge of the window 20 can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​position.

[0041] Therefore, when installing the cover 2, first, the lower end of the cover 2 is placed on the lower edge of the window 20. Then, by turning the handle 221 counterclockwise, the locking tongue 222 is rotated and extended to the inner wall of the lower tube 1, and is locked together with the inner wall of the lower tube 1, thereby locking the cover 2. Conversely, by turning the handle 221 clockwise, the locking tongue 222 is disengaged from the inner wall of the lower tube 1, thus unlocking the cover 2. This allows for quick installation and removal of the cover 2, greatly simplifying the operation of taking out and putting in items, improving the convenience of use, and solving the technical problem that the cover of the existing bicycle frame storage box is bolted to the frame, making it difficult to take out and put in items.

[0042] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front of the lid 2 is provided with a first limiting protrusion 23 to prevent the handle 221 from rotating excessively.

[0043] Further, see Figure 3 The back of the box cover 2 is provided with a second limiting protrusion 24 to prevent the locking tongue 222 from rotating excessively.

[0044] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 In actual production applications, the latch 222 is provided with a drum-shaped through hole, and the handle 221 includes a connecting part and a handle arranged perpendicularly to each other. The rear end of the connecting part is drum-shaped and fits into the drum-shaped through hole. Therefore, the latch 222 is directly fitted onto the connecting part of the handle 221 and moves synchronously with the rotation of the handle 221.

[0045] The frame uses existing frames available on the market, usually made of carbon fiber, but it can also be made of alloy or other materials.

[0046] Example 2:
