Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle instruments, and more particularly to an electric-assist bicycle instrument with adjustable mounting direction. Background Technology

[0002] Electric-assist bicycles (E-Bikes) are becoming increasingly popular worldwide as a convenient mode of transportation. To allow riders to monitor vehicle status in real time, such as speed, battery level, and mileage, E-Bikes typically have gauges mounted on the handlebars. These gauges require a stable and reliable mounting structure to ensure accurate information reading during riding.

[0003] Existing instrument mounts typically use a clamping structure to secure the instrument to the handlebars, achieving stable mounting. However, these mounts are often designed in a relatively simple way, with a fixed connection between the instrument body and the mount, meaning the instrument can only be installed in a fixed orientation (e.g., horizontal or vertical).

[0004] This fixed installation orientation lacks flexibility and cannot meet the personalized needs of different users. For example, some users may prefer a horizontally displayed instrument panel for a wider field of view, while others may be more accustomed to a vertically displayed instrument panel to browse more information. In addition, the limited mounting space on the handlebars, and sometimes the layout of other accessories (such as lights, phone holders, etc.) can also restrict the installation direction of the instrument panel.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model proposes an electric-assisted bicycle instrument with adjustable installation direction to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an electric-assist bicycle instrument panel with adjustable installation direction, aiming to solve the problem that the existing electric-assist bicycle instrument panel mounting base has a single installation direction and inconvenient angle adjustment.

[0027] Specifically, it includes an instrument body 1, a mounting component 2, an adjustment component 3, a fixing post 4, and a mounting frame 5. The mounting frame 5 serves as the mounting base for the entire device, used to fix the device to the handlebars of an electric bicycle. The bottom of the fixing post 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 5, forming the basis for angle adjustment. The instrument body 1 serves as the carrier for information display and is connected to the top of the fixing post 4 through the connection structure formed by the mounting component 2 and the adjustment component 3, thus forming a complete and multi-adjustable support and fixing link from the mounting frame 5 to the instrument body 1. The entire device has a compact structure and clear connection relationships, realizing the dual adjustable functions of installation direction and viewing angle.

[0028] Mounting assembly 2 includes a fixing block 202, a limiting block 201, a sliding groove 203, a threaded post 204, and a rotating plate 205. The fixing block 202 serves as a bridge connecting mounting assembly 2 and adjusting assembly 3. The fixing block 202 is connected to adjusting assembly 3. The limiting block 201 is fixed on the bottom surface of the instrument body 1, and a sliding groove 203 is formed on the top surface of the fixing block 202 to accommodate the limiting block 201. During assembly, the limiting block 201 slides within the sliding groove 203. Through the sliding guide relationship between the limiting block 201 and the sliding groove 203, the instrument body is limited. The installation position and orientation of the instrument body 1 relative to the fixing block 202 provide a basis for horizontal or vertical installation. In order to reliably fix the instrument body 1 to the fixing block 202, a threaded post 204 is provided. The threaded post 204 is detachably passed through the fixing block 202 and threadedly connected to the instrument body 1. By rotating the threaded post 204, the instrument body 1 and the fixing block 202 can be firmly tightened or loosened. For ease of operation, a rotating plate 205 is fixed to the end of the threaded post 204 away from the instrument body 1. The user can complete the locking or disassembly operation by turning the rotating plate 205.

[0029] The adjustment assembly 3 includes a slot 301, a fixing ring 302, a sliding block 303, a spring 304, and a locking post 305. This adjustment assembly 3 is used to adjust the overall pitch angle of the instrument body 1. A slot 301 for indexing and positioning is formed on the top surface of the fixing post 4. The fixing ring 302 is fixed to the bottom surface of the fixing block 202. The sliding block 303 is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the fixing ring 302. The locking post 305 extends from the inner wall of the sliding block 303 and can selectively engage with the slot 301 on the fixing post 4. When the locking post 305 engages with the slot 301, the instrument... The angle of the instrument body 1 is locked. When the angle needs to be adjusted, the sliding block 303 is pulled. The sliding block 303 drives the locking pin 305 to disengage from the slot 301. At this time, the instrument body 1 can rotate around the fixed column 4. The spring 304 is sleeved outside the fixed ring 302 and accommodated inside the sliding block 303. The spring 304 is used to drive the sliding block 303 to automatically reset. That is, when the appropriate angle is adjusted, the sliding block 303 is released. The rebound force of the spring 304 will push the sliding block 303, thereby driving the locking pin 305 to re-engage into the corresponding slot 301, thus completing the quick locking of the angle.

[0030] To enable switching between horizontal and vertical installation modes for the instrument body 1, a sliding groove 203 is provided on the top surface of the fixing block 202, including a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove arranged in mutually perpendicular directions. During installation, the user can choose to insert the limiting block 201 on the bottom surface of the instrument body 1 into the first sliding groove or the second sliding groove as needed, thereby achieving horizontal or vertical installation of the instrument body 1. The structure is simple and the function is practical. At the same time, in order to achieve precise multi-angle adjustment, multiple slots 301 are evenly distributed along the circumference on the top surface of the fixing column 4. In this way, when the instrument body 1 is rotated, the locking column 305 can reliably engage at multiple preset angle positions to meet the viewing needs of users of different heights and under different lighting conditions.

[0031] To simplify the structure and improve assembly efficiency, the sliding block 303 and the locking post 305 are integrally formed, integrating the two parts into one, reducing the number of parts, and also enhancing the connection strength and operational reliability of the locking post 305.

[0032] To ensure the stability and reliability of the automatic reset function of the adjustment component 3, the spring 304 is preferably a compression spring, and the two ends of the spring 304 abut against the inner wall of the sliding block 303 and the side wall of the fixing ring 302 respectively. When the sliding block 303 is pulled, the spring 304 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When released, the spring 304 releases energy to push the sliding block 303 to reset quickly, and the action is crisp and neat.

[0033] In order to allow the locking pin 305 to extend smoothly and engage with the locking slot 301, a through hole is provided on the fixing ring 302 at the position corresponding to the locking pin 305 for the locking pin 305 to pass through. This through hole provides a channel for the reciprocating motion of the locking pin 305, ensuring the smooth operation of the adjustment mechanism.

[0034] To increase the friction when the user twists the rotating plate 205 and facilitates the application of force, knurling or anti-slip teeth are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating plate 205. Even when the user is wearing gloves or has sweaty hands, they can easily complete the installation or disassembly of the instrument body 1.

[0035] To ensure that the entire device can be securely installed on bicycle handlebars of different diameters, the mounting bracket 5 is preferably a ring clamping structure. Specifically, the mounting bracket 5 includes two semi-ring clamping arms connected by hinges or bolts. By tightening the bolts, the two semi-ring clamping arms can come closer to each other, thereby clamping the handlebars tightly in the middle and providing a stable and reliable mounting base.

[0036] Working principle: First, the instrument body 1 can be installed horizontally and vertically through the mounting component 2. Then, the angle of the instrument body 1 can be adjusted by the adjustment component 3. Next, the instrument body 1 is installed on the handlebars of the electric bicycle through the fixing column 4 and the mounting bracket 5.

[0037] When installing the instrument body 1 horizontally and vertically, first insert the limiting block 201 into the inside of the fixing block 202 along the sliding groove 203, then turn the rotating plate 205 counterclockwise. By turning the rotating plate 205, the threaded column 204 will rotate on the inner wall of the fixing block 202 and the instrument body 1, thereby fixing the instrument body 1 inside the fixing block 202. When disassembling the instrument body 1, simply turn the rotating plate 205 clockwise. By turning the rotating plate 205, the threaded column 204 will rotate, and the threaded column 204 can be removed, thus completing the disassembly of the instrument body 1.

[0038] When adjusting the angle of the instrument body 1, first pull the sliding block 303 to make it slide on the outer wall of the fixing ring 302. Then, the sliding of the sliding block 303 compresses the spring 304. Subsequently, the sliding of the sliding block 303 drives the locking pin 305 to move. When the locking pin 305 moves out of the slot 301, the instrument body 1 can be rotated for adjustment. Rotating the instrument body 1 causes the fixing pin 4 to rotate on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 5. When the appropriate angle is reached, release the sliding block 303. Then, the spring 304 returns the sliding block 303 to its original position. Subsequently, the return of the sliding block 303 moves the locking pin 305 into the slot 301, thus completing the fixation of the angle of the instrument body 1.
