Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric bicycle technology, specifically an amphibious electric bicycle. Background Technology
[0002] Electric bicycles are a type of transportation that uses batteries as auxiliary power. Based on a regular bicycle, they integrate advanced control components such as a motor, controller, battery, throttle, and brakes, as well as a display system, while retaining the traditional pedaling function, making riding more flexible and convenient. This design not only meets the needs of short-distance travel but also embodies the concepts of environmental protection and energy conservation. Compared to motor vehicles, the driving qualification requirements for electric bicycles are relatively relaxed, requiring no strict driver's license test or complicated registration process, greatly lowering the barrier to entry. Therefore, electric bicycles are gradually becoming the preferred mode of transportation for urban residents, widely used in commuting, shopping, and leisure activities, providing an efficient and economical transportation solution for modern life.
[0003] However, most electric bicycles currently on the market are only capable of traveling on land and lack the ability to travel on water. Therefore, in areas with numerous lakes and waterways, the use of electric bicycles is severely limited, hindering unimpeded travel. Whenever crossing rivers is necessary, people often have to choose to detour via distant bridges or rely on ferries, which undoubtedly increases the time and effort required for travel. Therefore, this utility model provides an amphibious electric bicycle to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, an amphibious electric bicycle includes a body 1. A handlebar bracket 2 is fixedly installed on the side of the body 1 near the front wheel, and a seat bracket 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the body 1 near the rear wheel. A first mounting plate 4 is fixedly installed on the surface of the handlebar bracket 2, and a second mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the surface of the seat bracket 3. Both the first mounting plate 4 and the second mounting plate 6 have first mounting holes 5. An air mattress 7 is installed on the top surface of the body 1. To ensure that the air mattress 7 can be stably installed on the body 1, a first reserved hole 8 and a second reserved hole 27 are provided inside the air mattress 7. The positions of the first reserved hole 8 and the second reserved hole 27 correspond to the handlebar bracket 2 and the seat bracket 3, respectively. The air cushion 7 has a vent valve 9 installed on its side. The top surface of the air cushion 7 is fixedly installed with a limit band 10, and there are four limit bands 10. The first reserved hole 8 and the second reserved hole 27 are both fitted with sleeves 11. The height of the sleeves 11 is greater than the thickness of the air cushion 7, which can prevent water from overflowing when the air cushion 7 is traveling on the water. At the same time, the sleeves 11 are made of rigid material, so that the sleeves 11 can bear the force when the air cushion 7 is traveling on the water, preventing the air cushion 7 from deforming. The bottom surface of the sleeves 11 is fixedly installed with a skirt 12. The surface of the skirt 12 is provided with a second mounting hole 13. The positions of the first mounting hole 5 and the second mounting hole 13 correspond. Pressure strips 14 are hinged to both sides of the sleeves 11.
[0021] A first mounting bracket 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the handrail bracket 2. A battery box 16 is installed on the top surface of the first mounting bracket 15. A storage battery 17 is installed inside the battery box 16. A charging and discharging interface 18 is provided on the surface of the battery box 16. The storage battery 17 can provide power for the movement of the vehicle body 1. The battery box 16 can provide protection for the storage battery 17. Moreover, the first mounting bracket 15 is installed above the air mattress 7, which can effectively prevent the storage battery 17 from contacting water when driving on water, ensuring electrical safety.
[0022] A second mounting bracket 19 is fixedly installed on the surface of the seat cushion support 3. A storage box 20 is installed on the top surface of the second mounting bracket 19. An electric inflation / deflation pump 21 is placed inside the storage box 20. The electric inflation / deflation pump 21 facilitates the inflation and deflation of the air mattress 7.
[0023] A handlebar 22 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the handrail bracket 2. A power switch 23, a water circuit conversion switch 24, and an electric speed regulator 25 are provided on the surface of the handlebar 22. The water circuit conversion switch 24 can be used to switch the driving mode of the vehicle body 1, and the electric speed regulator 25 is used to adjust the driving speed of the vehicle body 1.
[0024] Two sets of turbine propulsion units 26 are fixedly installed on the side of the front wheel of the vehicle body 1. The turbine propulsion units 26 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front wheel. The turbine propulsion units 26 can provide power for the vehicle body 1 to travel on the water surface.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the armrest bracket 2 and seat cushion bracket 3 are inserted into the first reserved hole 8 and the second reserved hole 27, respectively. A sleeve 11 is embedded in the first reserved hole 8 and the second reserved hole 27. The skirt 12 at the bottom end of the sleeve 11 contacts the first mounting plate 4 and the second mounting plate 6. The fixing bolt is rotated so that it screws into the first mounting hole 5 and the second mounting hole 13, thus fixing the sleeve 11 to the first mounting plate 4 and the second mounting plate 6, thereby completing the installation of the air mattress 7. The lid of the storage box 20 is opened, and the electric inflation / deflation pump 21 inside is taken out to inflate the air mattress 7. After inflating the air mattress 7, the pressure strip 14 is rotated so that it moves to the limiting band 10. The limiting band 10 limits the pressure strip 14, and the pressure strip 14 evenly distributes the weight of the vehicle body 1 onto the surface of the air mattress 7. Turn on the power switch 23 and switch the water circuit conversion switch 24 to the water surface driving mode. The turbine propulsion 26 will start, which will propel the vehicle body 1 to move and complete the water surface driving. When driving on the road, open the limit strap 10, take out the electric air pump 21 to deflate the air mattress 7. After deflation, the air mattress 7 will retract and can be stored and folded up. Then fix it to the crossbar of the vehicle body 1. At the same time, rotate the pressure strip 14 so that the pressure strip 14 is parallel to the crossbar of the vehicle body 1. Use Velcro straps to fix the folded air mattress 7, pressure strip 14 and the crossbar of the vehicle body 1 together, making it into a compact strip shape. Turn on the power switch 23 and switch the water circuit conversion switch 24 to the road driving mode. The battery 17 provides power to the electric vehicle, which will propel the vehicle body 1 to move and complete the road driving.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
