[0029] The frame tube 2 is manufactured using a water-expanding process, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance compared to frames on the market.

[0030] The frame tube 2 is a one-piece design at the front and rear, eliminating the need for welding and assembly of the slanted tubes and bottom frame found in existing models, thus simplifying the manufacturing process.

[0031] The frame tube 2 is hollow inside and is bent. It includes an interconnected vertical part and a horizontal part. The upper end of the vertical part is welded to the head tube 1, and the tail end of the horizontal part is welded to the rear fork 4.

[0032] The horizontal section is hollow, forming a storage cavity for placing batteries, enabling battery removability and facilitating charging. In this embodiment, the width of the horizontal section is 60-80mm, and the height is 80-100mm.

[0033] Specifically, a section is missing from the top surface of the horizontal section, forming a strip-shaped notch; thus, the horizontal section becomes a horizontally missing cap tube. Figure 1 As shown, the battery can be detachably inserted into the horizontal notch tube through this notch.

[0034] Preferably, the size of the battery matches the size of the strip notch, and the top surface of the battery is flush with the top surface of the horizontal notch tube, eliminating the need for a conventional frame tube cover plate, resulting in a simpler structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, the strip-shaped notch of the horizontal cover pipe is excavated starting from a distance of 20-50mm from the end of the horizontal cover pipe.

[0036] In this embodiment, the strip notch cross-section is set to U-shape.

[0037] Among them, an internal reinforcing plate 6 is provided above the bottom surface of the horizontal cover tube along the length direction, which strengthens the interior of the frame tube 2.

[0038] The internal reinforcing plate 6 is designed as a plate structure and is placed at an angle above the bottom surface of the horizontal cover tube. This allows for easy routing of bottom wiring between the bottom of the internal reinforcing plate 6 and the top surface of the horizontal cover tube. In addition, the internal reinforcing plate 6 also has holes to facilitate the routing and fixing of wiring for the rear electrical components.

[0039] The plate-like structure of the internal reinforcing plate 6 matches the bottom of the battery.

[0040] In this embodiment, the internal reinforcing plate 6 is made of aluminum profile and is welded and fixed to the bottom surface of the horizontal capped tube.

[0041] Among them, a reinforcing seat 3 is provided below the horizontal capped tube. The reinforcing seat 3 includes a U-shaped connecting part and a through-shaft part at both ends of the U-shaped connecting part.

[0047] Preferably, the reinforcing seat 3 in this embodiment is made of aluminum die casting process, and the reinforcing seat 3 is welded and fixed to the bottom and both sides of the horizontal cap tube.

[0048] The front end of the horizontal cap-less tube is equipped with a battery front fixing plate 5, which is welded to the upper part of the front end of the horizontal cap-less tube. The battery front fixing plate 5 has three holes, including a central positioning hole and two fixing holes on both sides. The battery front fixing plate is a plastic part used for snap-fit ​​connection with the front end of the battery. The two sides of the front end of the battery front fixing plate are inserted into the fixing holes by screws, and the front end of the battery front fixing plate has a guide boss in the middle, which matches the positioning hole.

[0049] Preferably, in this embodiment, the battery front lock plate 5 is made of aluminum sheet metal.

[0050] The rear fork 4 is connected to the end of the horizontal cap tube. The rear fork 4 includes a left rear fork and a right rear fork, which are integrally formed. In this embodiment, the left and right rear forks are fixed to the end of the horizontal cap tube by welding. In this embodiment, the left and right rear forks are made of aluminum profiles.

[0051] Preferably, a tail reinforcement plate 7 is provided between the left and right rear forks. In this embodiment, the tail reinforcement plate 7 is made of aluminum sheet metal. The tail reinforcement plate 7 is welded between the left and right rear forks to prevent the rear forks 4 from breaking and to provide reinforcement.

[0052] The method for manufacturing the integrated frame tube 2 in this embodiment includes: The round tube profile is formed into two sections with different diameters through a tube shrinking process (not a necessary process). The two sections with different diameters are bent by bending to form a vertical part and a horizontal part. The vertical part has a smaller diameter, while the horizontal part has a relatively wider diameter. The water-expanded tube process shapes the entire frame tube 2, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing design. Machining: The above-mentioned strip-shaped notches, holes, grooves, etc. are formed on the frame tube 2.

[0053] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.
