[0002] Electric vehicles are an important means of transportation that are convenient and environmentally friendly, making them popular. Especially in large cities where road congestion is a serious problem, these lightweight and flexible modes of transportation are the first choice for people to travel. Electric vehicles are smaller, easier to learn and operate than traditional fuel vehicles, and are quieter and safer to drive. They are also less strenuous than bicycles, giving them a significant advantage for short-distance travel. As a result, more and more people are choosing to use electric vehicles for transportation.

[0003] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial structural diagram of an electric vehicle in the prior art. The handlebar assembly 1' of the electric vehicle is equipped with a light 2' and a basket 3'. The light 2' is generally located above the basket 3' and is used for illumination, facilitating nighttime riding. The basket 3' is used to store items, providing convenience for carrying belongings. The basket 3' includes a basket body 31' and a basket cover 32' located at the top of the basket body 31'. The basket cover 32' is used to close the basket body 31' to prevent items inside the basket 3' from falling out and being lost. However, please continue to refer to... Figure 1 Since the headlight 2' is located above the basket 3', the basket cover 32' is prone to interference with the headlight 2' when it is opened, which prevents the basket cover 32' from opening at a large angle and affects the driving experience of the electric vehicle.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a new basket and electric vehicle to address the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a bicycle basket that can at least alleviate the technical problem in the prior art where the basket lid cannot be opened at a large angle, thus affecting the driving experience of electric vehicles.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is also to provide an electric vehicle that further alleviates the technical problem in the prior art where the basket lid cannot be opened at a large angle, thus affecting the driving experience of the electric vehicle.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned first objective, this utility model provides a bicycle basket, which includes a basket body and a basket cover. The basket body has an inner cavity and an opening communicating with the inner cavity. The basket body includes a first side and a second side disposed opposite to each other. The first side is used to connect to a handlebar assembly.

[0008] The basket body has a connector at its opening, and the basket cover is rotatably connected to the connector so that the basket cover can open and close the opening. On the plane where the opening is located, the basket body near the first side and the connector are spaced apart.

[0009] Furthermore, on the plane where the opening is located, the distance between the basket body near the first side and the connector ranges from 9mm to 11mm.

[0010] Furthermore, the basket also includes a hinge, which includes a first leaf and a second leaf that are rotatable relative to each other. The first leaf is fixed to the basket cover, and the second leaf is fixed to the connector.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector is a connecting post, a connecting piece, or a connecting block.

[0012] Furthermore, the basket body is a metal basket frame woven from the first metal wire, including a side basket frame and a bottom basket frame disposed at the bottom end of the side basket frame. The side basket frame and the bottom basket frame together form the inner cavity, and the opening is formed on the side of the side basket frame away from the bottom basket frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a base plate is provided on the bottom frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the basket includes a side plate and a bottom plate disposed at the bottom end of the side plate, the side plate and the bottom plate together form the inner cavity, and the opening is formed on the side of the side plate away from the bottom plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the basket cover includes a cover body and a cover buckle disposed on the cover body. The cover body is rotatably connected to the connector, and the cover buckle is fastened to the second side of the basket body.

[0016] Furthermore, the cover is a perforated cover woven from a second metal wire, or the cover is a cover plate formed from a metal plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the bicycle basket of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0018] In the existing technology, the basket cover is rotatably connected to the edge of the basket body near the handlebar assembly. Since the edge of the basket body is closer to the headlight and the distance between them is smaller, the distance between the basket cover and the headlight is also smaller. As a result, when the basket cover is opened, it cannot be opened at a large angle, which affects the driving experience of the electric vehicle.

[0019] To address the above issues, in this embodiment of the basket, the basket cover is not connected to the edge of the basket body near the first side, but is rotatably connected to a connector. In this embodiment, on the plane of the opening, there is a gap between the basket body near the first side and the connector, meaning there is a gap between the edge of the basket body and the connector. Therefore, after the basket cover is connected to the connector, there is a gap between the connection position of the basket cover and the edge of the basket body near the first side. Since the first side of the basket body is closer to the headlight, the basket cover is installed away from the first side, i.e., away from the headlight. When the basket cover is opened, compared to existing technologies, the opening angle is larger, for example, it can open at an 80° angle relative to the basket body, which improves the driver's driving experience to a certain extent.

[0020] Based on the second objective mentioned above, this utility model provides an electric vehicle, which includes a handlebar assembly, a headlight, and a basket, wherein the basket and the headlight are both disposed on the handlebar assembly.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric vehicle of this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0022] By incorporating the aforementioned basket into the electric vehicle, the electric vehicle thus possesses all the advantages of the basket, which will not be elaborated upon here. Attached Figure Description

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 and combined Figure 6 This embodiment provides a bicycle basket, which includes a basket body 1 and a basket cover 2. The basket body 1 has an inner cavity and an opening communicating with the inner cavity. The basket body 1 includes a first side 11 and a second side 12 disposed opposite to each other. The first side 11 is used to connect with the handlebar assembly 5. A connector 3 is provided at the opening of the basket body 1. The basket cover 2 is rotatably connected to the connector 3 so that the basket cover 2 can open and close the opening. On the plane where the opening is located, the basket body 1 near the first side 11 and the connector 3 are spaced apart.

[0044] It should be noted that the headlights of electric vehicles are generally located above the basket; please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 In the prior art, the basket cover 32' is rotatably connected to the edge of the basket body 31' near the handlebar assembly 1'. Since the edge of the basket body 31' is closer to the headlight 2' and the distance between them is smaller, the distance between the basket cover 32' and the headlight 2' is also smaller. As a result, when the basket cover 32' is opened, it cannot be opened at a large angle, which affects the driving experience of the electric vehicle.

[0045] To address the above issues, in this embodiment, the basket cover 2 is not connected to the edge of the basket body 1 near the first side 11, but is rotatably connected to the connector 3. For details, please refer to... Figure 4 and Figure 5 On the plane where the opening is located, the basket body 1 is spaced apart from the connecting piece 3 near the first side 11, that is, there is a gap between the edge of the basket body 1 and the connecting piece 3. Therefore, after the basket cover 2 is connected to the connecting piece 3, there is a gap between the connection position of the basket cover 2 and the edge of the basket body 1 near the first side 11. Since the first side 11 of the basket body 1 is closer to the headlight 6, the basket cover 2 is installed away from the first side 11, that is, the basket cover 2 is installed away from the headlight 6. After the basket cover 2 is opened, compared with the prior art, the basket cover 2 can be opened at a larger angle, for example, it can be opened at an angle of 80° relative to the basket body 1, which improves the driver's driving experience to a certain extent.

[0046] Optionally, on the plane where the opening is located, the distance between the basket 1 near the first side 11 and the connector 3 is in the range of 9mm-11mm.

[0047] For example, the distance between the basket 1 near the first side 11 and the connecting piece 3 is 9mm, 9.5mm, 10mm, 10.5mm or 11mm, etc.

[0048] This arrangement ensures that the connector 3 is positioned away from the first side 11 of the basket 1 to increase the distance between the basket cover 2 and the headlight 6. At the same time, the distance between the connector 3 and the edge of the basket 1 will not be too large, affecting the aesthetics of the basket and the safety of storage.

[0049] Preferably, please refer to Figure 7 In this embodiment, the basket also includes a hinge 4, which includes a first leaf and a second leaf that can rotate relative to each other. The first leaf is fixed to the basket cover 2, and the second leaf is fixed to the connector 3.

[0050] Optionally, the first leaf piece is connected to the basket cover 2 by welding, bonding or threaded connection, and the second leaf piece is connected to the connector 3 by welding, bonding or threaded connection.

[0051] Optionally, in this embodiment, the connector 3 is a connecting post, a connecting piece, or a connecting block.

[0052] In other words, the shape and structure of the connector 3 are not limited here, as long as it can connect the hinge 4 to the housing 1. For example, the connector 3 is a metal wire, with both ends of the metal wire welded to the housing 1.

[0053] As a first feasible approach, the basket body 1 is a metal frame woven from the first metal wire, including a side basket frame and a bottom basket frame disposed at the bottom of the side basket frame. The side basket frame and the bottom basket frame together form an inner cavity, and an opening is formed on the side of the side basket frame away from the bottom basket frame. With this configuration, the connector 3 can be welded to the first metal wire.

[0054] Preferably, the bottom frame is provided with a bottom plate, which prevents the items contained in the inner cavity from falling out through the gaps between the first metal wires.

[0055] As a second feasible approach, the basket 1 includes a side plate and a bottom plate disposed at the bottom of the side plate. The side plate and the bottom plate together form an inner cavity, and an opening is formed on the side of the side plate away from the bottom plate. With this arrangement, the connector 3 can be welded to the side plate.

[0056] Preferably, please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the basket cover 2 includes a cover body and a cover buckle 21 disposed on the cover body. The cover body is rotatably connected to the connector 3, and the cover buckle 21 is fastened to the second side 12 of the basket body 1.

[0057] Alternatively, the cover may be a perforated cover woven from a second metal wire, or the cover may be a cover plate formed from a metal plate.

[0059] Embodiment 2 provides an electric vehicle, which includes the basket of Embodiment 1. The technical features of the basket disclosed in Embodiment 1 are also applicable to this embodiment, and the technical features of the basket disclosed in Embodiment 1 will not be described again. The implementation of the electric vehicle will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0060] Please see Figure 2 The electric vehicle provided in this embodiment includes a handlebar assembly 5, a headlight 6, and the aforementioned basket. Both the basket and the headlight 6 are mounted on the handlebar assembly 5.

[0061] The electric vehicle in this embodiment can be, for example, an electric two-wheeler, an electric tricycle, or an electric motorcycle. The basket on the electric vehicle is used to store items, providing convenience for people to carry items. The headlight 6 is used for illumination, making it convenient to ride at night.

[0062] In the basket, the basket cover 2 is not directly connected to the edge of the basket body 1 near the first side 11, but is rotatably connected to the connector 3. On the plane where the opening is located, there is a gap between the basket body 1 near the first side 11 and the connector 3, that is, there is a gap between the edge of the basket body 1 and the connector 3. Therefore, after the basket cover 2 is connected to the connector 3, there is a gap between the connection position of the basket cover 2 and the edge of the basket body 1 near the first side 11. Since the first side 11 of the basket body 1 is closer to the headlight 6, the basket cover 2 is installed away from the first side 11, that is, the basket cover 2 is installed away from the headlight 6. After the basket cover 2 is opened, compared with the prior art, the basket cover 2 can be opened at a larger angle, which improves the driver's driving experience to a certain extent.

[0063] The electric vehicle of this embodiment has the advantages of the basket in Embodiment 1, which have been described in detail in Embodiment 1 and will not be repeated here.
